After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

When Dick Lu heard that he could take back 20 kilograms of tea, he angrily high-fived his two friends.

He turned around, put his hands on his shoulders, and bowed to Qi Hua to express his gratitude.

"Hua! Such a good friend!"

As he spoke, he packed twelve ornamental corns in a cloth bag and handed it to Lin Ting.

"This lady... young lady... is for you..."

Lin Ting took the cloth bag, but did not pay the money immediately. Instead, he asked Dick for directions again.

"It's impossible for every jade bead to be this exquisite. If you have any crooked or broken ones, could you please give them to me?"

Although Dick Lu spoke unclearly, he could still understand what Lin Ting said because he came here to do business.

"Those...are not worth much. If you want them, I'll...give them to you..."

They bring all the ornamental corns here to be peeled. Each one is different. Those that are not good cannot be taken back even if they are asked to.

At most, I'll just throw it away when I get to a place where there are no people.

The other two people who followed Dick Lu saw that Lin Ting wanted Yuzhu, so they moved one or two small baskets of dried corn in front of Lin Ting.

Lin Ting looked down and saw that the corn kernels were not growing together, but they could be used as seeds. She was very excited, but she couldn't show it.

"This lady is Hua's friend, and I'll make you my friend too. These jade beads...although not perfect, they also have complete colors."

Lin Ting glanced at it for a few seconds and said in a calm tone.

"Thank you!"

Then he took out four taels of silver from the pouch around his waist and gave it to Dick Lu.

Dick Lu was very happy to receive the silver and even put it in his mouth and bit it.

The journey to Dongxia Kingdom is a bit far, but the silver here is easy to earn. You can exchange anything you bring over for a high value of gold and silver.

After Lin Ting bought the things, the people brought by Qi Hua kindly helped her move all the things onto the carriage.

"Master Qi, could you please ask about the Five-Colored Flower?"

Lin Ting never does anything that interferes with other people's business. Even though these foreign merchants are there, she still asks Qi Hua about this.

"Colorful flowers?"

Dick Lu murmured, and after a long time he seemed to think of something.

"The colorful flowers are gone. They're all sold out. If we can come to Dongxia Country again next year, I will... bring you some more colorful flowers."

It seems that Lin Ting will not be able to buy some pepper plants in time. If he wants to get the peppers, the only way left is to "wait".

She would buy back the peppers bought by the wealthy families when they matured and withered and were no longer beautiful and useful.

She could also talk to Madam Qu Lai, who had five pepper plants. When they were old or had fallen, she could pick them up and give them to her.

Qi Hua chatted with Dick Lu for a few more words, then took Lin Ting back.

When the carriage was almost at Qi Mansion, it stopped.

Lin Ting lifted the car curtain and saw a dusty woman standing at the gate of Qi Mansion.

"Miss Ye?"

As soon as Ye Xiaoman saw Qi Hua and Lin Ting, a smile instantly appeared on her face and she ran towards them.

"Brother, Madam Lin, you're back? How's it going, Madam Lin? Did you buy what you wanted?"

Lin Ting nodded with a smile on his face.

"I bought it. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Wenzhu County?"

Ye Xiaoman stood in front of Lin Ting, but her eyes fell on Qi Hua from time to time. When she answered Lin Ting's words, she even raised her voice.

"My plan in Wenzhu County fell through. My mother and Madam Qu both felt sorry for each other. We returned the day after you left."

Ye Xiaoman was very happy. She worked with Qu Yuanxun to make this matter go wrong without damaging the relationship between the two elders.

It also made them feel that they owed each other, and their relationship became better than before.

Upon hearing that Ye Xiaoman's matchmaking failed, Qi Hua's frown relaxed slightly, but his expression remained cold.

"You and Master Qu, how did you convince the two elders so quickly?"

Ye Xiaoman glanced at Qi Hua and pulled Lin Ting back to Qi Hua's house.

With Lin Ting here, Qi Hua would not refuse her entry into his house.

Moreover, when she was waiting for Qi Hua and Lin Ting to come back, she had already heard what the servants of the Qi Mansion said.

Lin Ting and Wan Weiran treated Qi Hua this morning, and it is said that the effect was very good.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you."

Ye Xiaoman still doesn't completely trust Lin Ting. If Lin Ting tells this to Old Madam Qu, how can the Ye family continue to befriend the Qu family?

"By the way, how is my senior brother's condition? After you and Doctor Wan's treatment, is there any hope of a cure?"

Watching the two people enter his mansion, Qi Hua sighed, shook his head, and turned to go to the teahouse.

Lin Ting's answer to Ye Xiaoman was the same as his answer to Qi Hua.

It takes time to cure the disease. If you don’t have time, you can only control the frequency of recurrence.

……

When Lin Ting returned to Qi Mansion, Wan Weiran had not returned yet.

He changed his attire and planned to raid the business, but he didn't want the people in the business to recognize that he was the young master.

According to the original plan, he would depart from Wenzhu County three days later, and would be delayed for two days on the road.

By this calculation, it will take him another five days to reach Minzhou.

He was wearing a plain gray robe and his entire head was wrapped in a cloth.

He was dressed like a merchant from the border.

Before he even entered the store, he saw the entire store starting to clean up and tidy up, preparing for his arrival.

Wan Weiran was still secretly happy, thinking that the people in the company were thoughtful.

But as he watched, Wan Weiran felt something was wrong.

Those who come and go in the business to purchase goods are either doctors or medicine boys.

How come it seems like anyone can come and buy medicinal herbs?

The business has clear regulations that medicinal materials cannot be sold at will, and a pharmacy certificate is required.

Or you can only buy medicinal materials from their business if you have a certificate from a medical clinic.

Now I see a lot of ruffians in short shirts pulling away bags of medicinal herbs.

"Along, the herbs I bought from you last time didn't work at all. Is there something wrong with your herbs?"

A hunchbacked old man blocked a man who had just come out of a herbal medicine store with a few bags of medicine.

The old man was holding a prescription in his hand, with two packets of unfinished medicine. His body and voice were trembling as he asked the man in front of him.

“My medicines are all high-end products from Wan’s Trading Company, there’s no way they can have any problems.

Old man, you are in poor health and your internal condition has changed. You should have changed your medicine long ago.

You can’t say that my medicine is bad just because the previous prescription didn’t work.

My medicine is not refundable after it is sold, so don't even think about getting your money back from me.

If you can afford to live, live; if you can’t, die.”

The man had a ferocious look on his face and spoke evil words. These were not the words a doctor would say to a patient.

Wan Weiran concluded that this person was definitely not a doctor.

If he wasn't a doctor, who in the company had dispensed the medicine? What shady dealings had the Minzhou herbal medicine company been doing behind his back?
