Chapter 140
In the end, Xia He waited for half a cup of tea, but Xia Tingquan did not come to have a meal.

"Lan Xin, let someone bring you breakfast." Xia He reckoned that even if he waited for half a cup of tea, Xia Tingquan might not be able to keep up.

"Yes, miss." Lan Xin also knew in her heart that the young master might not be able to come for a while because she might be entangled by Mrs. Xu.

Sure enough, until Xia He finished his breakfast, Xia Tingquan was still nowhere to be seen.

Xia He confessed to Lan Xin before leaving the house. "You ask someone to put the breakfast in the pot to warm up, so that you can have something to eat when Brother Quan comes."

"Miss, don't worry, the servant has been keeping the kitchen warm." Lan Xin replied.

Xia He was going to the Sifang Pharmacy for a consultation today, so he didn't delay, and went directly to the carriage prepared by Fulai and Xiyun, and went straight to the pharmacy.

When she arrived at the pharmacy, Zhang Dalin was already waiting for her at the door.

Xia He asked as soon as he met him. "Treasurer Liang is back."

Zhang Dalin shook his head. "However, shopkeeper Liang asked the officials of Wucheng Bingma Division to send a letter back. The letter said that he was safe and sound, but encountered a difficult disease, and temporarily needed to stay in Shuntian Mansion to discuss solutions with the managers of the major pharmacies. Let us not worry."

Xia He nodded, and didn't have anything to ask.

She reckoned that after experiencing the matter of the Princess's Mansion, the current shopkeeper Liang must be the most calm and calm among all the managers of the big pharmacy when facing the matter of the Shuntian Mansion.

Xia He went straight to his consulting room and began to see patients.

Today, there are no major intractable diseases, but some occasional cold symptoms and some minor ailments and pains in the right position of the bones.

Xia He was free before Shen Shi.

Standing on the porch, she looked at the fluttering snowflakes, but she couldn't remember when it started to warm up this winter.

She only vaguely remembered that Kyoto was not closed at the beginning of March, and that the shortage of food gradually disappeared in early April.

When Yubo and Dr. Yang passed the corridor, they happened to see Xia He who was standing in the corridor looking at Xue Hua in a daze.

Shopkeeper Yang bowed to Yubo and left because there were important patients waiting.

Yubo looked at the distressed girl standing in the corridor, and couldn't help but speak. "Is there something bothering you?"

The words that Yubo uttered awakened Xia He, who was still in deep thought. She turned her head and saw that the person in the corridor was Yubo, who smiled at him and gave him a slight blessing. "Master Yubo."

Yubo looked back at the girl who smiled at her like a flower, only felt that the circle of white hair on her cloak reflected her skin like snow, her bright eyes and white teeth, she was very pretty.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Yubo walked into Xia He's side and asked.

"It's nothing to worry about." Xia He said. "I'm just thinking about when shopkeeper Liang will come back, when the weather will warm up, and when the rice grain shortage will stop."

Yubo was speechless after hearing her words.

To be honest, this is also the most troublesome problem for him these two days.

The two of them turned around and looked at the snowflakes in the sky in a tacit understanding. Although there was no verbal conversation, only silence remained, but they were unusually harmonious.

After an unknown amount of time, Yubo turned her head and said to Xia He beside her. "It's cold outside, come back."

"Yes." Xia He readily accepted.

The two walked all the way to the door of Xia He's consultation room. When they parted, Xia He heard Yubo whisper. "The shortage is not limited to rice."

Xia He looked up at him, and Yubo only smiled slightly. "go in."

"En." Xia He Fuli turned around and entered the consultation room.

Why didn't she understand what Yubo meant.

These days, she has also heard that some medicines in Sifang Pharmacy have started to be in short supply.

I'm afraid that the pharmacy may not be able to get all the medicines on the shopkeeper Liang's list this time.

When he was about to go to the clinic, Xia He went to shopkeeper Yang, as if he had inquired about the preparation of the medicines on the prescription list of shopkeeper Liang.

Shopkeeper Yang smiled kindly when he saw that it was Xia He. "Don't worry, Doctor Xia, the medicinal materials are basically ready."

"It's basically ready!" Xia He was a little surprised.

Before she came over, she had heard from Zhang Dalin that several kinds of medicines could not be prepared.

"Originally, there were several kinds of medicines that were in short supply, and some medicines were not enough in quantity. Thanks to Master Yubo's entrustment, I managed to get the medicines together." Speaking of this, Doctor Yang was very grateful to Yubo.

After hearing what Dr. Yang said, Xia He suddenly realized.

It turned out that Yubo entrusted her contacts.

After the consultation, Xia He saw Xia Tingquan who came to pick her up as soon as she left the pharmacy.

"Brother Quan!" Xia He waved to him, and quickened his pace towards his carriage.

"Sister." Xia Tingquan who opened the curtain was very happy to see her.

After Xia He got into the carriage, Xia Tingquan asked the servant outside to drive slowly to Liuhe Court?

In the carriage.Xia Tingquan hesitated to speak for several times, but in the end he always swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Xia He originally wanted to wait for him to take the initiative to speak. It can be seen that after hesitating several times, Xia Tingquan still didn't say anything, so he rolled his eyes in his heart and asked a question.

"Brother Quan, what on earth do you want to tell me, you flickering one?"

When Xia He asked, Xia Tingquan didn't flinch anymore, and told Xia He what Mrs. Xu said to him this morning.

Xia He asked after listening. "Since the third aunt came to you and told you about her plight, what are you going to do next?"

Xia Tingquan shrugged and said confidently. "What should I do? The third aunt can't even get the silver taels in her hand. I'm a playboy who never comes home every day. Where did I get the silver taels?"

After hearing this, Xia He burst out laughing. "Did you tell the third aunt about this?"

Xia Tingquan nodded. "Say it!"

"Then what was the reaction of the third aunt?" To be honest, Xia He was very curious about Xu's reaction.

Xia Tingquan thought about it. "The face is naturally livid, it's ugly."

"That's it?" Xia He didn't believe it.

Since Xu Shi directly went to Xia Tingquan, it meant that she pinned all her hopes on Xia Tingquan.How could he retreat and give up lightly because of his heartless words.

Xia Tingquan's complexion was a little bad. "But no matter what she said, it was based on having money. Without money, everything is fantasy. I told her directly that it was useless to find me. The income of this mansion is in the hands of the second uncle. He wants to marry Daughter, then you have to come up with silver money."

Xia He was very satisfied after hearing Xia Tingquan's words.

She was afraid that Xia Tingquan was a stupid and filial person.

"Then the third aunt didn't tell you about the housekeeper?" Xia He asked.

"I said it." Speaking of this, Xia Tingquan felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. "I told her that I think housekeeping is a particularly hard job. If she really can't do it, then it's better not to be housekeeper."

Xia He was taken aback. "Did you really tell her that?"

"I said it!" Xia Tingquan gave Xia He a look that he didn't lie. "I'm not doing it for her!"
