”Regarding the money, Uncle Fu does not need to worry. I have already accumulated enough money to pay everyone with money. The one hundred people in our village can be considered my men. How about it?” Just as Xia Li finished speaking, Uncle Fu directly knelt in front of him.
”Thank you so much, Madam, for giving us a way out. We will listen to you in the future. Whatever you want us to do, we will do.”
Uncle Fu, this is what I should do. Also, we cannot just rely on harvesting grass from the mountains alone, for example, the surrounding barren hills, I plan to plant a batch of herbs, such as Gastrodia, White Peony, Danshen, Chai Hu, Grass Crow, and many other types of herbs suitable for individual cultivation in the barren hills. At present, I have to think about all of these temporarily, and in the later stages of the game, we will need to look at the soil and growth of the herbs.
”Right now, we are in the summer, and the surrounding mountains have many medicinal herbs. We just need to focus our attention on gathering medicinal herbs.” As Xia Li said this, he took out a list of herbs to be harvested and personally handed it over to Uncle Fu.
”Uncle Fu, here is the list of medicinal ingredients that I need recently. Some of them that do not know anything about medicinal herbs, you can tell me, I will lead everyone to identify them, and as to how much each household has harvested, I will find an assistant from hospital to measure them and give them different wages, it would be very costly.”
”However, Uncle Fu is required. You can count the status of each family, the name of the Patriarch, the members of the family, and how much each family has harvested everyday to report their level. My shop assistant will weigh the amount on time, so that everyone can have their wages transferred to them as soon as possible.”
After Xia Li finished speaking, he immediately felt his mouth becoming dry, and took the opportunity to bring a bowl of water to her. Xia Li gratefully took it and gulped it down.
Madam, you are truly a kind person. Please do not worry, tomorrow, I will hand over the list of ingredients to you. Old Fu took a quick look and indeed, there are a few that I do not recognize. Uncle Fu said after he took the list of ingredients and read it carefully.
”No problem, then let's talk about this first. I'm a bit tired.” After Xia Li finished speaking, he bade farewell to the Uncle Fu, and returned to the small courtyard with Ru Shuang.
In the small courtyard, Sun Chun had already returned, he sat on the stone bench alone, drank tea and read books, and felt extremely uncomfortable. However, Xia Li on the other hand, had talked for the entire morning and was a little tired, hence he sat beside Sun Chun and drank a few cups of cold tea, which made his throat feel a little better.
”Little Li?” Xia Li put down the book in his hand, and lightly patted Xia Li's shoulder a few times, and turned to look, only to realize that the little girl in front of him had already fainted. He called out a few times, but did not reply.
Sun Chun frowned slightly as he carried Xia Li into his room. Xia Li slept very deeply, to the point that Sun Chun pinched her cheeks lightly. The little girl was still immersed in her dreams with no reaction.
”Ru Shuang, where did Xia Li go all morning?”
Sun Chun's expression turned cold as he questioned Ru Shuang.
”Reporting to Young Noble, Madam has been staying in Uncle Fu's courtyard with this subordinate all morning, discussing the livelihood of the people in the village is your subordinate's fault.” Reporting to Young Noble, Madam has been staying in Uncle Fu's courtyard all morning with this subordinate all day, discussing the livelihood of the people in the village.
As Ru Shuang spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Sun Chun stopped him.
”Don't worry, next time, remember to remind Little Li. This time, he won't punish you.”
”Quickly go and call the doctor over and bring Little Li over for a look.” After Sun Chun finished speaking, there was a moment of silence behind him, as he looked over with suspicion.
Ru Shuang then replied helplessly: ”Reporting to Young Noble, last time when we went to pick the herbs for Madam to treat her headache, we brought the doctors from the village to climb the mountain. The doctor was terrified, although he calmed down after receiving the silver we gave him, he was still afraid that we would disturb him, so not long after we returned, he secretly left the village.”
Although she did not say a single word of reprimand, it caused Ru Shuang's legs to go soft. A crush on another is one thing, but to actually touch upon this man's hot spot, she would not be able to resist.
”Young Master, Doctor, I've invited you over.” Lei Ke timely appeared at the door, causing Ru Shuang, who was always in a tense mood, to let out a breath of relief. He looked at Lei Ke and immediately lowered his head.
”Then please come in.” Sun Chun said warmly as he walked to Xia Li's side and caressed her cheeks.
”Doctor, please.” Lei Ke led a scholar like doctor in.
The doctor took the initiative to bow to Sun Chun, ”Greetings Young Noble.”
”Doctor, please take a look at my wife. There is no need to bow.” Sun Chun took a step back and said.
The doctor carried his medicine box and came in front of Xia Li. He carefully cut open Xia Li's meridians, took out a few silver needles and pierced it into Xia Li's forehead, then explained to the anxious Sun Chun.
”Reporting to Young Master, Madam's body is only weak for a short period of time. She will be able to wake up after an hour's rest.”
The young doctor had a pretty face, a smile on his lips, and a light tone, making Sun Chun visibly relaxed.
