Chapter 195 Selling Poison

Xia He is so busy that he will soon be busy until the end of the year.

As the New Year approached, although there was still a lack of food, the turmoil of typhoid fever finally subsided, and there were only a few finishing touches left.

Liu Heting has no more surplus food, even if Xia He has the heart, he still has more than enough.

In the days that followed, everyone in Liuhe Court fell silent. While recuperating, Xia He and Xia Tingquan consolidated their foundation in martial arts, and at the same time, bought a large amount of money in their hands and turned it into property.

With Wang Bo's help, Xia Tingquan even bought a jade mine. At that time, there was not enough money, so Ye Jiu took the initiative to borrow it. Xia Tingquan was not polite to him at all.

He also saw it clearly and figured it out, his sister can't be pulled back, the only thing he can do now is to accumulate a dowry for her to the greatest extent, so that she will have enough confidence in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"What are you doing?" Xia He walked out from behind him and slapped him on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Xia Tingquan covered his head and looked at her sadly.

Xia He glared at him, not guilty at all. "Who told you to stand in the way at the gate of the courtyard."

Xia Tingquan deliberately took a look at the spacious gate of the courtyard. "With your body shape, isn't that wide enough for you to walk?"

Apparently it was intentional.

Xia He rarely paid attention to him, and handed over the plum blossoms he had just picked from the garden to Cui Liu together with the basket. "Take it to the kitchen for the dumb slave, and ask her to make some plum cakes later, I didn't eat enough yesterday, it made me greedy."

Cui Liu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, she also didn't eat enough yesterday, and she was too greedy.

"I'll eat the young master later before leaving." Xia Tingquan was also very greedy when he heard that there was a plum blossom cake made by a dumb slave.

Her sister really didn't mention her luck, she just bought a dumb girl and came back, she didn't think that her food cooking skills were too good to say anything.

Xia He heard that he wanted to stay, so he said. "Tell the dumb slave that the young master will have dinner in the courtyard at noon, and ask her to prepare some dishes that the young master likes to eat."

"Yes."

Cui Liu quickly carried the basket to the small kitchen in the yard.

When Xia Tingquan heard that she was willing to be a dumb slave to cook for him, he decided not to worry about her secretly beating him just now.

The two entered the warm pavilion, took off their cloaks, and sat down on the warm kang.

"Lord Hong said that it will be the New Year's Eve soon, and it is estimated that the emperor will give Liu Heting a reward within these two days." Xia Tingquan said.

"With the plaque bestowed by the emperor, from now on, our Liuhe Court can be regarded as a firm foothold in Kyoto, and we are well-known to every household." Xia He said.

"I just don't know if the gift from the donated food will also come down in front of me?" Xia Tingquan knew that on the side of the medicinal materials, there was an imperial gift plaque "hanging pot to help the world" in the reward. It would be the best if the other piece can come down together.

Xia He thought for a while. "Not necessarily. The infection is coming to an end, it's basically over. But the famine, as long as the snow doesn't close the mountain, there will still be trouble."

Xia Tingquan thought so too. "In the past, on New Year's Eve, princes and officials would go to the palace to bow to the emperor at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and to participate in the banquet at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but this year because of the famine, the emperor canceled the ceremony of bowing and the banquet."

"So you don't need to enter the palace?" Xia He was very happy when he heard that.

After all, Brother Quan is not experienced enough in doing things, and she can't help worrying about him going to a place like the palace.

Seeing her so happy, Xia Tingquan was very grateful.

To be honest, he has been worrying about this for the past few days.

"It would be a lie to say that he is not stage frightened in such a scene." Seeing the emperor and dealing with princes and officials, no matter what it is, he is timid.

Seeing his happy face, Xia He said. "I still have to practice hard."

"Hmm." He thought so too.

The two were talking when Dongzi suddenly walked in from the outside. "I have seen the young master and miss."

"Is there something wrong?" Xia Tingquan knew that something must be wrong with Dongzi's sudden arrival at this time.

"Back to young master, the third son of Mr. Huang's family, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, sent someone to invite you, and said that he would go to a pot of spring tea tomorrow." Dongzi said.

"No." Xia Tingquan refused without thinking.

Xia He looked at him. "I really don't want to go. It was because I was too busy before, but now I can go and relax."

In Xia He's memory, he didn't go out for a long time to yell and drink, and he followed people's backs to steal chickens and dogs, so that she couldn't remember that brother Quan clearly.

Xia Tingquan gave him a blank look. "Instead of hanging out with those dudes, I might as well play boxing and calligraphy with Yan Hua."

Xia He gave him a thumbs up. "good."

It turned out that he also knew that they were a group of dudes!

"Brother Quan, do you run out of money?" Xia He asked.

"Aren't you asking the question knowingly! I even sent Ye Jiunas money with an IOU."

Alas, he originally thought that her sister made a lot of money and it was easy to make money. How did he know that it was easier for him to spend money.

"I thought of a way to make money." Xia He said to him mysteriously.

Xia Tingquan said. "This way of making money is shameful?"

Xia He choked on his own saliva. "How did you know?"

When did he become a worm in her stomach?

"With your shameful expression and mysterious tone, I don't think it's hard to know." He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

Xia He chuckled. "I made two life-saving medicines and one poison, and I plan to sell them at the auction house."

"It's fine if you sell life-saving medicine, why are you still selling poison?" Xia Tingquan did not approve of selling poison.

"Because I heard a rumor that someone wanted to buy a colorless, odorless, and undetectable poison at a high price to deal with his enemies." Xia He said lightly.

Xia Tingquan gave her a deep look. "His enemy also has hatred against you?"

Once Xia He said that, he understood.

Xia He thought about it for a while and didn't hide it from him. "It is said that the other party's medicine is intended to be used on the second son of Gu Guogong's mansion."

"Gu Huaizhi!" Xia Tingquan didn't expect it to be this person, and was taken aback.

He hadn't heard this person's name for a long, long time, and he didn't expect to hear it again from Xia He's mouth.

"Hmm! That's him." Xia He said.

Xia Tingquan's expression suddenly became a little uneasy, he hesitated to speak several times.

Seeing his reaction, Xia He didn't understand anything. "You have heard the news that he is going to be engaged."

It turned out that in the previous life, everyone knew about this matter, but she was the last to know about it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Tingquan saw the teacup that was spinning in Xia Tingquan's hand suddenly knocked over on the table, and he didn't call anyone to come in to wait on him, so he quickly got up and cleaned it up himself.

While cleaning up, he didn't dare to look at Xia He.

After tidying up, he just sat back to his original position and looked at Xia He anxiously from the corner of his eyes. "Sister, what did you hear outside?"
