Chapter 19
Gu Xi put down Xiao Taozi, told the children a few more words, and then walked towards Nanny Li who had been waiting for a long time.

Several people went to Nanny Li's room.

"Mommy, what do you think of that real daughter?" Gu Xi asked Li Nanny.

Nanny Li was originally a criminal slave of the official family. She was sent to the Department of Education and Reform because of her family's crimes, and she grew up there.

Five years ago, the emperor pardoned the whole world, and Nanny Li was released from the Department of Education and Reform, and was taken in by Gu Xi, who recognized her as his master.

Although Nanny Li is a sin slave, she was taught in the Department of Education and Culture. She is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows the rules and etiquette in the palace. Gu Xi took her in back then, saying that she found a treasure.

Nanny Li is the current head steward of Nian Ci Tang, and Gu Xi trusts her very much.

"Since Miss asks, I will know everything." Nanny Li smiled and continued,
"The old man thinks this real daughter is very strange, she doesn't look like someone who grew up in the countryside and suffered hardships, because her eyes are bright, she is confident, and she has a sense of superiority.

The old body really couldn't figure out where her sense of superiority came from.

Obviously, she is ambitious and clever, and she pretends to be weak and harmless. She is not a kind and simple person, miss, you have to be careful of her. "

Hearing these words, Gu Xi couldn't help but lament that Jiang is still old and spicy.

After listening to Li Nanny's words, Qiuzhi was even more shocked, and couldn't help asking,
"Mommy, what do you think this young lady from the countryside wants to do in Nian Ci Tang today?"

"My old guess is that maybe she wants to give herself a good reputation for being kind." said Nanny Li.

"It's one thing to earn her own reputation. She should also want to bribe the children and ask them to do things for her." Gu Xi continued,

"They are a group of orphans. They have no father, no mother, and no worries. They are the best intelligence spies and the best candidates for assassins."

It's just that if you want to cultivate them, you can't do it overnight, and you need to spend a lot of money and effort.

Although Gu Xi's original intention of funding Nian Citang was not to train them to be spies, but she taught them literacy, arithmetic, miscellaneous studies, and even kung fu, which did cultivate them into talents.

"Bah! She's dreaming! Children will only serve the lady!"

Gu Xi said lazily, "Well, she did do it in her dream."
-
Afterwards, Gu Xi wrote down the prescriptions for golden sore medicine and scar-removing ointment, and handed them to Nanny Li.

"Nurse, tomorrow you send someone to buy a large amount of medicinal materials and send them to the workshop next door, so that they can make acne medicine and scar cream according to this prescription. After they are made, they will not be sold to the public, and they will be kept for now.

Gu Xi solemnly told her not to leak this prescription to the outside world.

Seeing her cautious attitude, Nanny Li also nodded seriously,
"Master, don't worry, the people in the workshop next door are all from Nian Ci Tang. They are loyal and will not reveal it."

Nian Citang is now located in the house that Gu Xi bought, and she also bought the house next door at that time.

Here is for children to live and study, and the next door has been transformed into several workshops, including a medicine hall for making pills, a workshop for making rouge gouache, and a woodworking workshop.

The first purpose of these workshops is to earn money for Nian Chi Tang, and the second is to find a place for the children to work and learn a skill.

Gu Xi took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the situation of several workshops, and was relieved when she learned that everything was normal and there was no turmoil due to changes in her life experience.

"Mommy, mommy, it's not good. Heiwa was practicing the plum blossom pile just now, and fell off it and sprained her foot."

Then there were shouts from outside.

"Miss, I'm going to get the medicinal wine for bruises and rub it for Hei Wa." Nanny Li said to Gu Xi.

"You can use this ointment for activating blood circulation and removing stasis to treat bruises. The effect should be better than medicinal wine."

As Gu Xi said, he took out the reward he got for hitting Gu Rong in the face.

It was the bottle of activating blood and removing blood stasis ointment that was systematically hidden in King Ning's bed.

Just to try the effect, is there any system bragging about it.

Nanny Li smiled and took it over,
"Miss said that the effect is good, so it is definitely good. With Miss thinking about it, these children will enjoy the blessing."

Gu Xi was modest, "It has nothing to do with me, it was given by someone else."

Gu Rong is really her source of wealth.

From this point of view, she doesn't hate Gu Rong so much anymore.

After all, she can often give herself good things.
-
Heiwa's feet were swollen to a high level, and it hurt when she moved, but the child was very strong, kept silent, and wanted to bear the pain and continue practicing.

Seeing that Gu Xi also came to visit him, Heiwa's dark face was blushed with joy.

After he used the blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment Gu Xi gave him, he felt even more beautiful, and his feet didn't seem to hurt at all.

"Hei Wa, does it still hurt? Move around." Gu Xi pinched his sprain.

Gu Xi observed carefully, and after applying the ointment, Heiwa's swollen feet disappeared visibly with the naked eye.

The system really didn't brag.

Good stuff!

It's a pity that there is no prescription. I don't know if I can get the prescription in the future.

Hei Wa moved her foot a little, and found that it really didn't hurt anymore!

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all! Sister Xi, you are too powerful!"

Hei Wa jumped up and down and shouted happily.

He admires sister Xi even more!
It took at least five or six days for a sprained foot to go away, but now it doesn't hurt after applying medicine.

Amazing.

Sister Xi is indeed their fairy sister!
Seeing that Hei Wa was fine immediately, the other children were also amazed and looked at Gu Xi with admiration.

All are stars.

Gu Xi's face was covered with blood.

Who can stand this, I really want to give them all the good things.

The next moment, the system page popped up again.

【Ding!The task of protecting the children has been completed, and the rewards have been issued, please check]

Gu Xi felt his sleeve sink, and the small medicine bottle arrived.

This time the system is finally reliable, and there is no misplacement.
-
After coming out of Nian Ci Tang, Gu Xi went to the Fragrance Shop, which was her shop selling rouge and gouache.

Compared with three years ago, the shop of the Fragrance Museum has more than doubled in size. In addition to selling rouge and gouache, it also sells some other women's products, such as various embroidery, jewelry and so on.

The embroidery that Chun Zhi usually makes, and the dolls that Xia Zhi makes are all sold here.

Chunzhi's embroidery is of high quality and unique patterns, and is very popular.

Xia Zhi's dolls can sell for ten taels of silver, and they are very popular, and they are sold out as soon as they are put out.

After all, the people who patronize here are either rich ladies or dignitaries, they don't care about the ten taels of silver.

On weekdays, the shop's business is very good, people come and go, but today because the shop has launched a new product, there is a queue at the door, and they want to buy a new set of rouge first.

Gu Xi entered the shop from the back door and went to the lounge on the second floor.

The female shopkeeper in the store heard that Gu Xi was coming, she quickly got up from the busy counter, left the work to the apprentice, and went to greet Gu Xi by herself.

"Boss, you are here." The female shopkeeper looked at Gu Xi with a smile, seeing her change, but didn't say much, just said,
"Seeing that the owner looks good, I am also relieved."

"Tired Aunt Shuang is worried." Gu Xi was completely different from sitting upright in the past, and slumped on the soft bed lazily, waving her hands and saying,

"I'm just here to rest my feet. I see it's very busy down here. Aunt Shuang will go to work first. Let's talk after we're done."

Gu Xi planned to take out a few rouge gouache recipes provided by the system to Aunt Shuang, and then expand the profit of the balm shop.

Having money without making money is a fool.

What's more, if she wants to enjoy life, that money is even more essential!

The female shopkeeper, that is, Li Yushuang looked at Gu Xi's laziness and was taken aback in surprise, then asked with a smile,
"Then I'll send someone to send the account book, so my boss can take a look?"

"Don't read it, don't read it." Gu Xi lay down completely, "I have complete trust in Aunt Shuang, and I won't read the account book in the future, as long as Aunt Shuang deposits the money in the bank regularly."

"What's wrong with your master?" Li Yushuang looked at Xia Zhi and Qiu Zhi in surprise, and couldn't help asking.

"Master said that she wants to be a salted fish, and she doesn't want to worry about everything." Qiu Zhi said helplessly.

"I think it's good for master to do this. In the past, master was too busy and tired, so he didn't have any rest and fun." Xia Zhi strongly supported Gu Xi.

Moreover, she feels that such a master has become more beautiful. Recently, she often looks at his face and drools.

"Boss, is it disheartening for you not to be the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion?" Li Yushuang asked her.

"Of course not, I'm actually very happy." Gu Xi turned sideways, supported his head with one hand, and played with the safety buckle on his waist with the other, casually said,
"Before, I was too tired to live, and I wanted to do my best in everything, so I suddenly wanted to change my way of life, and I didn't want to care so much. Aunt Shuang, you should understand me, right?"

"Although my master's situation is different from my original situation, the great change of background is no different from a rebirth. Since my master wants to live a more comfortable life, then I will share more for my master."

Li Yushuang nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but expressed her full support to Gu Xi in a gentle and tolerant manner.

Li Yushuang was also a lady from an official family, her father was a fourth-rank official, and she was the head of a county outside. She married into the capital ten years ago, but she had nothing to do for seven years, and was finally divorced.

Li Yushuang was divorced, felt ashamed, and didn't want to go back to her mother's house to be rejected again. She couldn't think of throwing herself into the river for a while, but was saved by Gu Xi.

Gu Xi helped her get back the dowry, and helped her to set up her own family. Li Yushuang died once, but she also thought about it, walked out of the pain in the past, and started to help Gu Xi run the shop.

"Thank you, Aunt Shuang." Gu Xi said again with a warm feeling in his heart,
"But Aunt Shuang, don't be too tired. You just need to take care of the bills. The rest of the work is left to the disciples. If there is not enough manpower, they will ask for help from Nian Citang. Those children are looking forward to having something to do sooner."

Aunt Shuang was still the same as in her previous life, standing by her side from beginning to end.

"Okay, just listen to the boss. Then the boss rests first, I'll go down and have a look." At this moment, there was noise downstairs, Li Yushuang said hastily.

Gu Xi waved her hand.

And at this moment, the system reminded her that the face-slapping task had been completed twice more.

Gu Xi was full of question marks.

What did Gu Rong do again? ?
