Chapter 60: Grief for Her Sorrows
After the cold dew, the weather was cold day by day, and when Gu Li went out in the morning, he deliberately put on a thick coat.
Not long after she left, Zhang Xuechu came.
"I listened to Lord Li's meaning, I wanted to marry the side branch of the Wei family, and now I have begun to move around, and after I am promoted next year, this family matter will probably be decided."
Yan Qing's expression was calm, and he drank the tea in his cup elegantly.
It is reasonable for Li Lin to make such a decision.
The Wei family is a side branch of General Wei's mansion, and now the situation is turbulent, and the monarch relies on General Wei more. When the situation settles down in the future, General Wei will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. If one person gains power, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven, and when the time comes, the side branch of General Wei's Mansion will definitely be able to rise with the tide.
Even if Li Lin is really promoted to the supervision envoy next year, he will not be able to reach the lintel of the General's Mansion, but with a little effort, it will work to marry the side branch of the General's Mansion.
"Master Li is really good at everything." Yan Qing put down the teacup and responded softly.
Zhang Xuechu smiled, but he knew in his heart that Childe's words were not just as simple as praising Master Li.
Childe's heart is like a vast universe, he can't see through it, and he doesn't dare to speculate.
Li Lin, who is skilled in the world, even including him Zhang Xuechu, is afraid that he is a chess piece on his chessboard.
"All the industries in the city have been closed, and all of them have been arranged with our own people." Zhang Xuechu said again.
"There is labor." Yan Qing replied, his demeanor was gentle and humble, so that people could let down all their guards unconsciously.
So Zhang Xuechu knew that he was just a chess piece, but he was still willing to be sent by him. He was impressed by him, and in addition to that, he really got what he had not gotten for half his life.
In the middle of the day, Zhang Xuechu said goodbye and left, and Yan Qing also left the house.
He went out to buy some vegetables, and when he came back, he passed by the fairy grass hall, but he didn't go in.
Recently, it is the turn of autumn and winter, and when the seasons change, there are always a lot of sick people. At the end of this day, Gu Li treated many patients who had wind chills.
At noon, she heard the guy who grabbed the medicine on the medicine cabinet reply to Dr. Qin, saying that there was not enough medicinal materials.
Doctor Qin sighed and replied, "Let's use it first, I'll figure it out." ”
He asked again which medicinal herbs were in short supply, and he had a number in his heart.
"Is there any difficulty?" Gu Li asked, seeing Doctor Qin's sad face, she couldn't help but be curious.
The medicinal materials of Xiancaotang have stable suppliers, and they will replenish the stock every half month, what has happened now?
Doctor Qin didn't hide it from her, and said to her: "There is a shortage of medicinal materials everywhere now. ”
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have to trouble you to go and talk to the little lady to see if you can replenish some goods for us here." ”
Gu Li agreed first, and then asked him what kind of herbs he was in short supply, and when she prescribed medicine to patients in the future, she should try to use alternatives as much as possible.
However, Xiangxian hadn't been here for many days, so Gu Li decided to finish work early in the afternoon and go to Xiang's Mansion to find her in person.
She still remembered that there was a time when the price of medicinal herbs was extremely low, and it had only been long since then, why had there been such a huge change? Not to mention the high price of medicine, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
In the afternoon, before the sun set, Gu Li left the fairy grass hall and went to Xiang's house.
The Xiang family can be regarded as the largest family in the city, and the mansion alone occupies several streets. Gu Li arrived at the door of Xiangxian's house, asked the little maid at the door, and asked him if Xiangxian was at home.
This little guy happened to recognize Gu Li, so he politely replied: "At home, Miss Gu, you came just right, and the eldest lady didn't come back long." ”
As he spoke, he enthusiastically brought Gu Li in.
Xiangxian saw Gu Li, and her face was full of joy: "Sister Gu, why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see you, and by the way, I want your help." Gu Li replied.
After not seeing each other for a long time, she saw that Xiangxian seemed to have lost some weight, and her face was a little haggard.
"What's the matter?" Xiangxian asked.
Gu Li told her about the current situation of the Immortal Grass Hall.
"It's easy to say, I'll have someone send it to you early tomorrow morning." Xiang Xian agreed.
Although it is indeed difficult to do business now, it is not difficult for her to supply some medicinal herbs.
"Have you been in trouble lately?" Gu Li asked again.
Xiang Xian didn't need to hide anything from her, so she sighed and complained to her.
Not long ago, the price of medicinal materials suddenly pressed to the lowest, and some people bought a lot of them, so that the inventory of each company decreased sharply, resulting in a shortage of medicinal materials.
"Do you know who did it?" Gu Li frowned and asked.
Xiang Xian shook her head: "I don't know who it is, but among them, there should be a background from the government." ”
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to stir up the entire industry with the power of one person.
In fact, not only the medicinal material industry, but other industries have not been spared.
Xiang Xian was full of sorrow, and said: "Now this property has lost a lot in my hands, I am really sorry for my dead father and brother!" ”
When it was difficult, she broke her tail to survive and gave up a lot of business, which barely survived.
Gu Li was worried about her sorrows, but she didn't know anything about business and didn't know how to help her.
"Auntie, aunt ......"
While they were grieving, a young boy ran in while shouting.
Gu Li saw a boy about five or six years old coming in and threw himself on Xiang Xian's lap.
Xiang Xian picked him up and put him on his lap.
The boy was cute and delicate, with a pair of big watery eyes like black grapes, and looked at Gu Li without blinking.
"Sister." He suddenly let out a small shout.
Xiang Xian laughed and immediately corrected: "You have gone wrong, you should be called Aunt Gu." ”
This is the child left behind by her brother, named Xiangtong, who is six years old this year.
Gu Li looked at him with a smile and heard him call out Aunt Gu.
After shouting, he probably felt that this title was too awkward, so he called his sister again, and no matter how Xiangxian corrected it, he didn't change his words.
"You kid!" Xiang Xian poked him lightly on the forehead, and then said to Gu Li, "He has been a little unthinking about eating and drinking these days, so you are here, let's show him." ”
She can only be poisonous, but she is not very proficient in medical skills.
Gu Li responded with a smile, took the child over, and took a closer look.
"It's not a big deal, just give him less snacks."
Xiang Tong was still familiar with her at first, but after a while, he became acquainted with her and played with her.
When Gu Li left Xiang's house, twilight had faintly risen outside.
She went to the Immortal Grass Hall first, and told Dr. Qin that she was ready to receive the goods as soon as she announced that she was going to receive the goods, and then went home.
However, she had only walked out of the Fairy Grass Hall not far away, when a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking her way.
