She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

Lu Huan had not forgotten the envious looks on the faces of those who came to witness the ceremony when the dowry was delivered to the Gao family.

Putting aside everything else, the set of ebony furniture in the room alone could sell for several thousand taels of silver.

As for Zhou's claim that people from Gaojia Village would help take care of things, Lu Huan simply couldn't believe it.

Who knows where the people she sent will take the contents of the room?

The next day, under the pretext of going into town to buy congratulatory gifts, Lu Huan instructed Shi Gu to hitch up the mule cart.

Shi Gu walked to within three feet of Lu Huan and asked mysteriously, "Master, do you know where the son-in-law has been these past few days?"

"Weren't you going to help out at the clan chief's house?"

"Not at all!"

Shi Gu put away the footstool only after Lu Huan entered the carriage.

"Every morning, the son-in-law rushes into the city just as the gates open!"

Lu Huan gave a faint reply, indicating that she understood.

She wasn't curious at all about what Gao Yan did at the Prince of Yan's residence; he probably just helped his brother out or took the opportunity to look at the "Da Yue Law".

After waiting a few moments without hearing anything further from his master, Shi Gu said, "Master, please sit tight!"

After leaving Gaojia Village, Lu Huan revealed their first destination: "Shigu, let's go to Nishang Pavilion first!"

The main business of Ni Chang Ge is ready-made clothing, and the embroiderers there also make some slightly larger embroidery pieces.

This is the kind of thing Lu Huan is looking for.

She quickly picked out a screen from several pieces, one that was a little larger than the palm of her hand and embroidered with lotus ponds and koi.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this one?"

"Madam has excellent taste! This is top-quality Suzhou embroidery, with lotus flowers, lotus seeds, and carp—all auspicious symbols! The frame and base are made of huanghuali wood; it would be the epitome of elegance on a table!"

"Alright, just tell me how much it costs," Lu Huan interrupted the shopkeeper.

"Hehe, not expensive, one hundred and twenty taels."

"This one will do." Lu Huan didn't haggle, and then picked out two more men's spring shirts.

As for what she made herself, that's still a long way off! She can't let Gao Yan go without clothes to wear!

In particular, once they arrive in the capital, Emperor Yuande will definitely summon Gao Yan to the palace.

It is said that the emperor's heart is unfathomable.

If Emperor Yuande saw Gao Yan dressed in tattered clothes, and in a fit of rage ordered the entire Gao family to be executed, wouldn't she suffer a huge loss?

In order to finish making it as soon as possible, Lu Huan spent an extra forty taels of silver.

As for the screen, she specially asked the shopkeeper to put it in the best box from the Ni Chang Pavilion.

Those who don't know the inside might think that the most precious Nine Immortals Skirt from the Ni Chang Pavilion is inside just by looking at the outer box.

Lu Huan tapped his fingers merrily on the box and instructed Shi Gu outside, "Go, go to Jimintang to collect the money!"

Ishigu looked completely bewildered.

He had never seen a traditional clinic charge money for patients' medical treatment and prescriptions!

Lu Huan deliberately waited until the second stop before going to Jimintang, in order to avoid the busiest time in the morning.

Sure enough, when she arrived at Jimintang, there were only five or six patients waiting on both sides of the main hall.

Xiaoman noticed someone coming in, looked up and saw Lu Huan, her eyes immediately crinkling into slits with a smile.

"What a rare guest! Madam, please wait in the backyard for a moment, the chef will be here shortly!"

Following the direction Xiaoman pointed, Lu Huan lifted the curtain and went to the backyard of the clinic.

The backyard is paved with bluestone slabs and is very clean.

One side resembled a living room, while the opposite door had a lot of pharmaceutical equipment placed in front of it.

Lu Huan was hesitating whether to call for help when Luo Changshan's voice came from behind him.

"Little Lu, what are you standing here for? Aren't you cold?"

Lu Huan turned her head to the side. "It's not cold. The coldest time has passed."

"Indeed! Thanks to you, I've managed to get quite a few medicinal herbs. I can even send some to other county clinics."

At this point, Luo Changshan cautiously glanced towards the main hall and lowered his voice, "And your special medicine has saved many critically ill patients."

I also sent about ten to the Prince of Yan's residence. Unfortunately, the Prince of Yan is too stingy; I only managed to get one hundred taels back for each one.

With just ten or so, Lu Huan could earn over a thousand taels of silver, and he was very satisfied.

They only set such a high price to fool Fang Xiaoyu's parents.

"This price is good, I'm very satisfied!"

Luo Changshan walked past Lu Huan and headed towards a side room. "Lu girl, come here."

He took a wooden box from the shelf, opened it and found a roll of silver notes and a thin booklet inside.

“Lu girl, this is the account book. A total of forty-six pills were used.”

Of those 28 pills, I used them on my own initiative and didn't charge them for the medicine.

The remaining eighteen were from the old man in the Wang family who was most willing to pay money to save his life, but the others received at least one hundred taels each. That's a total of four thousand eight hundred taels!

Lu Huan was genuinely surprised.

She thought she would be lucky to get more than two thousand taels of silver, but who knew that Doctor Luo would give her such a big surprise!

Without even glancing at the ledger, she counted out three hundred taels of silver notes from the roll of notes, put them aside, and then counted out two thousand taels, pushing them all in front of Luo Changshan.

"This three hundred taels is for your middleman; the other two thousand taels are for you to keep and continue to use for medicine for the poor. I trust your character."

To everyone's surprise, Luo Changshan pushed the money back, saying, "You little girl, instead of giving me money, you'd be better off donating more medicine!"

I don't know where you got those medicines from, but their potency is more than 40% higher than ordinary herbs. These days, I don't even consider the herbs those old medicine merchants used to send me!

If you weren't selling large quantities of cheap, basic medicinal herbs, they probably would have sent people to dig you up! Haha!

Lu Huan chuckled twice.

She felt a little guilty. The medicine was effective because it grew in the space. How could she make up a specific place of origin?

She reached out and retrieved the thicker stack of silver notes. "Then it's settled. Do you have any medicinal herbs that you're particularly short of?"

"The old man is short of top-quality ginseng, but even two thousand taels can't buy just one! Haha!"

Luo Changshan made a joke before listing the options: "Then we need to clear heat and detoxify, dispel wind and release the exterior, and also some common medicines to replenish blood and stop bleeding!"

Lu Huan silently read it once and memorized it.

She had read several volumes of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and recognized many medicinal herbs. She could also recognize most of the herbs planted in her space.

"correct!"

Lu Huan remembered that in a few months, the remnants of the previous dynasty outside the pass would make a comeback, and there would inevitably be several battles.

She asked softly, "I have some medicine for cleaning wounds, would you like some?"

"Is it expensive?"

A strange look appeared on Lu Huan's face. "It's not expensive."

It was quite cheap, and it was a gift from Deng Yabai.

Luo Changshan showed great interest, "Was it also found in the Western Regions?"

"Exactly!"

"Give me a few bottles to test the effects. If it works well, I'll help you get some sold to the military."

Lu Huan asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

Luo Changshan flicked his sleeves and said, "Those guys in the army are all seasoned veterans. I've dealt with them for decades, and I know them best!"

You're just a young girl; you'll get hurt if you run into them. They might even bring people to rob you!
