Chapter 769 Inviting people
Tang Wan observed for a while longer and felt that Xiao Hua had indeed improved, so she left the residence in the prefecture.

Before leaving, Tang Wan instructed Wang Da, "Don't rush to buy a carriage. Wait until Xiao Hua is better before going."

Wang Da gratefully agreed.

Tang Wan walked back to the fortune-telling shop, but Ding Li had been waiting at the entrance for who knows how long.

Tang Wan went inside, greeted Boss Wan, and then had Ding Li drive away.

Three days flew by.

Tang Wan returned to the residence in the prefectural capital.

Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the brand-new carriage parked in the courtyard and a very strong-looking horse.

Wang Dazheng held a brush and carefully brushed the horse's mane, his eyes full of smiles.

Upon seeing Tang Wan enter, Wang Da hurriedly put down his brush and stepped forward to bow: "Miss, you've arrived! The carriage and horses were purchased yesterday, costing a total of twenty-five taels of silver. Here are the remaining five taels."

As Wang Da spoke, he reached for the remaining silver.

Tang Wan waved her hand dismissively and said, "Keep the money. The two of you can buy some good food to nourish yourselves. How is Xiao Hua's health?"

She was more concerned about the little girl she had pulled back from the brink of death.

Mentioning his younger sister, Wang Da's smile widened, and he said repeatedly, "Thanks to your great kindness, Miss! My little sister is much better! Her high fever has long since subsided, although she is still very weak, but she looks much more energetic! I am truly grateful to you for saving her life!"

As he spoke, Wang Da was about to kneel down again.

Tang Wan offered a slight gesture of support, then stopped her, saying, "Take me to see him."

Entering the back room, Wang Xiaohua was indeed awake, leaning against the headboard. Although her face was still pale, her eyes had regained their clarity. When she saw Tang Wan enter, she tried to get up and greet her.

Tang Wan quickly stepped forward and pressed her down, instructing, "Lie down quickly, no need for formalities."

Then, Tang Wan carefully examined her complexion and reached out to feel her pulse.

Although the pulse is still weak, it has become more stable, and the evil energy that backfired on the body has completely dissipated. Now, the vital energy is severely damaged and needs to be slowly replenished over a long period of time.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Tang Wan asked gently.

Wang Xiaohua shook her head weakly and replied in a thin voice, "I'm much better now, but I'm still weak. Thank you for saving my life."

As she spoke, Wang Xiaohua's eyes reddened. She had already heard from her brother that if it weren't for the family, she would probably be dead by now.

Tang Wan nodded and comforted her with a smile, "It's normal to feel weak. You've been sick and it's damaged your health. You need to rest and recuperate for a while."

Then, Tang Wan took out a small jade-colored porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Da: "This, mix it with warm water and give her half a cup every morning and evening. It will help to solidify her foundation and restore her vitality."

This bottle contains spring water, and no anti-inflammatory drugs have been added. Xiaohua is young, and since her fever has subsided, there is no need for her to take any more anti-inflammatory drugs.

This spiritual spring water is relatively milder and suitable for long-term conditioning, which can improve physical condition.

Wang Da accepted the gift with trembling hands, repeatedly expressing his gratitude: "Yes! Yes! I've got it! Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

Tang Wan then instructed Wang Da, "Don't skimp on the chicken I gave you last time. Slaughter it and make soup for Xiao Hua to nourish her!"

Little did she know that none of the live chickens she brought over had been eaten; she guessed they were probably kept for laying eggs. Xiao Hua's health wasn't good, so she needed proper nourishment. Chickens raised in the space were more nutritious and perfect for dietary supplementation.

Wang Da hesitated for a moment, but Tang Wan said, "I'll bring you some more later. Don't be stingy. Xiao Hua's health is important, so you should also take good care of yourself!"

Although Wang Da felt it was a bit wasteful, he was more worried about his sister's health, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Tang Wan gave a few words of advice on what Xiao Hua needed to pay attention to in her daily life before coming out of the back room.

Upon entering the courtyard, she glanced at the sky, estimating that Young Master Zhao would arrive soon, and said to Wang Da, "Now that the carriage is ready, it will be convenient for future travel. You can go ahead and attend to your business. Let me know when Young Master Zhao arrives."

"Yes, Miss. Please call me anytime if you need anything," Wang Da replied respectfully before carefully retreating.

Tang Wan returned to the main house and sat down to read a book while waiting for Young Master Zhao.

Before long, there was a knock on the door. Tang Wan, with her sharp ears, went out to greet the knock.

Wang Da was already leading Zhao Si Gongzi towards the main courtyard.

Upon seeing Tang Wan, Young Master Zhao quickly greeted her with a smile: "Master! Am I punctual?"

Tang Wan looked at Young Master Zhao and noticed that he was indeed acting differently today. However, she didn't say anything and replied, "Young Master Zhao is always punctual! Welcome, Young Master Zhao! Please bring your people in as well!"

She noticed that only Young Master Zhao had come in today; the caravan and servants should be waiting at the door.

"I originally wanted to catch up with the master first before letting them in, but since the master has spoken, let them in!" Young Master Zhao said casually.

Tang Wan gestured for Wang Da to go and invite someone.

Next, Tang Wan led Zhao Si Gongzi to the back warehouse.

Zhao Si Gongzi's men also came to the warehouse.

Looking at the 500,000 jin of grain piled up in the room again, Young Master Zhao personally inspected its quality and repeatedly praised, "Master's grain is always of such excellent quality! I admire you!"

After all, most of what his family had given them was old grain, and even the new grain they had given them was of far inferior quality to what the master had given them. Yet the master had repaid the Zhao family with all of it in the form of high-quality new grain. How could he not admire him?

Although it was agreed that the grain would be on credit, the master was, after all, their savior and had helped them a lot. It would be good enough if the grain was on credit and there was enough of it. They didn't expect the master to be so generous and that the grain was always of good quality.

While thinking this, Young Master Zhao directed his men to count the number of items.

After the handover and inventory were completed, and watching his men begin loading the grain, Young Master Zhao took a few steps closer to Tang Wan, lowered his voice, and said happily, "Master, besides picking up the grain today, there's another matter I need to thank you for!"

"Oh? What is it?" Tang Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, vaguely guessing what was going on.

When Tang Wan asked him this, Zhao Si Gongzi was a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice, "It's about the Bai family! Last time, thanks to the letter you sent, Master, I shamelessly went to find Bai Gongzi, and after much pleading and telling him how hard I've been working lately, I finally gained his approval."

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "Later, I begged my mother to hire the most respectable matchmaker in town to formally propose marriage! The Bai family said they would consider it. I was on tenterhooks almost every day until yesterday when the Bai family finally gave me a definite answer and agreed to the marriage!"

He bowed deeply to Tang Wan: "Master, this matter was made possible entirely by your help in saving Sister Bai San, and later by your willingness to match our birth dates and horoscopes, and even informing me in time! I will never forget this kindness and virtue!"

Tang Wan also smiled.
