The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

The person Du Mingxian chose made the broker extremely happy. It was extremely difficult to find someone, and yet someone picked her so easily. How could anyone not be happy?

The broker also offered a discount: ten taels for men, twelve taels for young girls, and the old woman was given away for free.

Finally, Ling Silang negotiated the price with him, and the two of them agreed on a price of twenty taels.

The group went to the government office to complete the contract. Ling Silang said to the broker, "The man will stay with you for a while. We'll go buy a house first."

"Oh my, what kind of house do you two want? We have it all here. I can personally take you there."

This brokerage firm was large and employed many people. Some of them led people to view and sell houses, while others brought servants to select servants for wealthy families.

"A small courtyard, with two sections, and a well, should naturally be in a better location, making it convenient to buy things."

"Yes, yes, yes, we have plenty of houses like this. Come on, I'll take you two to see them right away."

The broker led the way, while Du Mingxian whispered to Ling Silang from behind, "Are you feeling better? Can you still walk?"

Ling Silang coughed awkwardly, "Of course it's possible."

Seeing that his expression was alright, Du Mingxian didn't say anything more.

After looking at three houses in a row, Du Mingxian found one she liked, while Ling Silang couldn't stand it and kept coughing.

It has two courtyards. The first courtyard has a rear building, and the second courtyard has a main building, east and west wing rooms, side rooms, kitchen, etc. It is in a good location, and there is also a well, a cellar, and even an ice cellar.

The broker said, "This house is in a very good location, but there's something unpleasant to say upfront. This house used to be lived in by a mistress, but the wife found out and beat the mistress to death. Since then, no one wants to buy this house."

Others might be wary of this, but Du Mingxian isn't. After all, there are plenty of mistresses in the world, but such a nice house is hard to come by.

"In that case, could you make it cheaper?"

"nature."

After negotiation, the house was sold for 380 taels of silver, which satisfied Du Mingxian. The formalities were handled by Ling Silang and the broker, and Ling Silang registered it under Du Mingxian's name.

Instead of going to the yamen, Du Mingxian went to the brokerage to take the three people she had just bought and brought them directly to Doctor Lin's pharmacy.

Dr. Lin was very happy to receive ginseng today, so he's not here right now; only two other doctors are here.

Du Mingxian asked the old lady to sit down. After the first doctor took her pulse, he frowned deeply and then called over the doctor next to him. The two doctors then whispered to each other for a while.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. We'll go and fetch Doctor Lin."

If the doctor had spoken frankly, it might not have been a big problem, but the way the doctors were speaking, one after another, and muttering to themselves, was quite worrying.

Soon, Dr. Lin came out and was quite surprised to see Du Mingxian. "What's wrong with you...?"

"Could you please examine me?"

After taking her pulse, Dr. Lin frowned and said, "Her condition is quite serious. She suffered a severe head injury, and she may need a lot of medication to recover."

"Go ahead and open it." She had already bought the person; she couldn't just watch him die like that.

Dr. Lin chuckled as he wrote the prescription, "The things you delivered today will come in handy, but this medicine is quite expensive."

"No need, you can prescribe other medicines. I have this one, but I'll need you to prepare it for me."

It's just ginseng; she has plenty of it, so why would she spend money to buy it?

Dr. Lin's hand trembled slightly as he wrote the prescription. Had he misheard? What kind of talk was this? There's more of this? A thousand-year-old ginseng?

He looked up at Du Mingxian suspiciously, trying to discern the truth from her expression. Du Mingxian forced a smile and said, "You see, I'll go get it right away."

After she went out, she found an empty alley and entered her space. She accelerated the ripening of the ginseng once again, and then carefully dug it out. This time, she didn't use a cloth wrapper, but rather an oil paper wrapper.

When she returned to the shop, the young girl and the others were already waiting. Doctor Lin sat calmly behind the table as if he had been waiting for her. When he saw her return, he even took a special look at her hand.

"That's it?" Doctor Lin's tone was somewhat dismissive.

Du Mingxian nodded and stepped forward to hand over the item, saying, "Could you please take a look?"

Dr. Lin was quite casual. He didn't believe that a family could produce two of the same good things. What kind of family would that be? Even high-ranking officials in the capital couldn't do it, let alone someone in this small county town.

But when he saw what was inside, he was shocked and sat up straight. "You...this..." he said, and then hurriedly wrapped the oil paper back up as if afraid that others would see it.

Dr. Lin stood up with a mysterious air about him. "Come in with me for a moment."

The same room, different ginseng, both of which astonished Dr. Lin. He pointed at the ginseng and asked, "Do you have any more?"

Du Mingxian originally wanted to say no, but she blurted out, "Yes."

Dr. Lin's breathing quickened, and he became incredibly excited. "Really?"

"There are three ginseng roots in total. I plan to give the last one away."

"No, can I buy it instead?"

I was debating whether to give one of these wonderful items to my master. Now that I have three, it's perfect – one for my master, one for my senior brother, and one for myself.

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea." Du Mingxian looked troubled. "The doctor you just treated my elders doesn't need this. If we sell it to you, doctor, what will happen to my elders' illness?"

"Sure, sure, the same price as before. One ginseng, and I'll cover all of your elder's needs, okay?"

Du Mingxian still looked troubled, "But I was planning to give the other one away."

Seeing her like this, Dr. Lin knew that as long as she didn't refuse outright, there was always room for negotiation. "If you have any requests, just say so."

"I plan to give it away."

"Do you have any younger relatives? Send them to me, and I'll take them as apprentices."

"This...isn't good."

Seeing her like this, Dr. Lin became anxious. "How about this, I'll take on a disciple, and then I'll grant you three requests, including treating that old lady outside, okay?"

"It's not impossible, it's just..."

"You say it, you say it."

"My mother was seriously injured a few days ago..."

"Send it over here, and I'll serve you, as long as you're willing to sell it to me."

Du Mingxian knew when to stop. "There's no need to serve me. You can just treat my illness. I really intend to keep this good stuff for myself and give it away. My husband's doctor, Dr. Lin, knows about it."

"No problem. Your husband's illness doesn't require this right now. If his health improves further in the future, I'll find a way to help him if he needs it."

"I'm relieved to hear that. The other one is at home; I'll bring it from the county in the next couple of days."

"to make."

Fearing that Du Mingxian might change her mind, Doctor Lin gave her the two ginseng roots, one for 8,000 taels and the other for 16,000 taels, all at once. Du Mingxian took all the silver notes, intending to exchange them for silver herself and put them into her spatial storage.

Before leaving the house, Du Mingxian reminded him, "Dr. Lin, I dug this ginseng myself, so only I know about it. My family members dug up three of them, you see..."
