Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 259 Home Remedies
The steward in charge of those two shops was surnamed Yao, and brought over a dozen guys to Lin's house that day, and the old lady introduced Du Xiaoyu to him.

Yao Guanshi is 42 years old this year, with a slightly fatter figure, a ruddy complexion, and an impressive aquiline nose.

"Young mistress will take care of it from now on." The old lady explained a few words, and said to Du Xiaoyu, "Take these books back and have a look, and ask Manager Yao if you don't understand anything."

Manager Yao knew about this in advance, so he was naturally not surprised, and explained seriously, "Young Mistress, this account book records all the details. If there is anything wrong, feel free to ask me."

Being very respectful, Du Xiaoyu nodded.

After the manager left, Lin smiled and said, "Mother, it takes a lot of effort for Xiaoyu to manage the shop."

The old lady glanced at her, "You really feel sorry for others. My old woman seems to be able to order people around for nothing? If this is really the case, Yuanqing will not agree." After speaking, she looked at Caiyu, and Caiyu immediately held out a Here comes the brocade box.

Lin rushed to open the brocade box, only to see a pair of dark red coral bracelets inside.

"This is a good thing!" She praised sincerely. Red corals are stored in the deep sea, and they are rare. She knew that the old lady had such a pair in her hand, but she didn't expect to take it out today and give it to Xiao Du. Yu, couldn't help showing envy on his face, "Why don't you come over and thank mother!"

Du Xiaoyu said with great blessing, "Thank you grandma, but I can't take this bracelet."

Both of them were taken aback, Lin hurriedly winked at her, and thought to himself, even if he doesn't like this bracelet, he doesn't know how much he can exchange for money, why is he so stupid?

"I haven't made any credit yet, and I am really ashamed."

Her attitude was serious, and the old lady's eyes flashed, knowing that she would not take it, she immediately laughed and nodded, "Forget it, then I will keep it for now, and I will see your skills."

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Lin frowned, sent Du Xiaoyu out, and said dissatisfiedly, "You child, why did mother refuse such a kind offer? Can't our Lin family afford a pair of bracelets? Wait If you manage the shop well, there will naturally be other good things, you can’t be so stupid in the future, the old lady just thinks you don’t appreciate it.”

Blaming like that, as if she was really thinking about her, Du Xiaoyu raised the corners of her mouth and didn't answer.

Afraid of annoying her, Lin waved her hand, "Forget it, you just take good care of the shop if you spill water when you say it." Then he looked at the ledger in the color screen's hand, "Go back and look at these first, don't blame auntie Too much talk, there are many famous places for medicinal materials and jewellery, it's not as easy as opening a small restaurant."

"Thank you, auntie, for your suggestion." Du Xiaoyu smiled.

Lin turned around and left.

Qingzhu snorted, "Ma'am, don't listen to your aunt, the old lady won't let her touch her hands, what can you understand?"

It seems that Qingzhu doesn't like Lin's very much. She told about the Chen family's affairs last time. When Du Xiaoyu came home, he took the account books and read them carefully.

Compared with small restaurants, it is indeed much more complicated. Whether it is medicinal materials or jewellery, there are all kinds of varieties. These alone are enough to cause headaches. Fortunately, she knows medicinal materials, and this part is much easier. To purchase, it depends on the previous transaction records, the daily transaction volume, and the workload is still quite large.

The color screen saw that she looked tired, and came up and said, "How about I rub your head for Madam?"

Du Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise.

"I've learned something before, so I can relieve my fatigue." Cai Ping's eyes were very sincere.

"Well, then I'll try." Du Xiaoyu closed his eyes.

Caiping's hand was pressing on her head with just the right amount of strength, and the acupuncture points were touched very accurately, making people feel extremely comfortable, and slowly her head seemed to become lighter.

Qingzhu watched jealously from the side. In the past, the color screen was used to make the old lady like it. Now it seems that the lady enjoys it.The color screen is really smart, and knows how to please his wife!
As the sun was setting, a maid came in to announce that it was Mrs. Fang who had arrived.

Du Xiaoyu was finishing a cup of tea, knowing that it must be for that matter, so she asked someone to come to the main room.

Mrs. Fang didn't bring any expensive gifts, but only brought some fresh fruits, "I wanted to visit Madam earlier, but I was just afraid that Madam would disappear, so I came here with a cheeky face this time."

"Where is Mrs. Fang?" Du Xiaoyu said with a smile, "I also want to invite all the wives in the county to come and play, but they are not familiar with each other. In the future, I will ask Mrs. Fang to introduce you." Business is always related , and those wives are good entry points.

Mrs. Fang smiled, "Who wouldn't want to come if the wife of the county mistress wants to invite you? I told Mrs. Qi last time, but she didn't dare to come here rashly. If she wants to hear this now, she might be so happy that she doesn't know why." It's good to do it."

So the topic started. Mrs. Fang is a very funny and knowledgeable person, but she let Du Xiaoyu hear a lot.

"Mrs. Qi has a hobby. She likes to collect all kinds of folk remedies. Sometimes when I feel unwell, I like to ask her for it. Not long ago, I heard from her that I found another prescription. The prescription is strangely tight. Treat wind bumps."

Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this word.

Mrs. Fang's smile deepened, and she explained in more detail, "The pimples are caused by the sea breeze. As long as you gather several medicinal materials and make a sachet and put it next to your body, it will not be a problem even if you live by the sea."

It was obviously about Niu Fu's grandson's illness. This Mrs. Fang is really powerful. She found what she needed in just a few days. Du Xiaoyu smiled, "It's amazing. I wonder if Mrs. Fang can ask for it? No To tell you the truth, I was just looking for such a prescription." Why bother to beat around the bush, she didn't think about pursuing Fang Jinrong's matter, at most she was just curious, and now Mrs. Fang brought a folk prescription, just to please her. She has no reason not to fulfill mutually beneficial things.

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly, Mrs. Fang smiled, and seeing that Du Xiaoyu was a straightforward person, she said, "My little girl really doesn't know how to be polite, she will do anything to anger her father..."

She was explaining that incident. It turned out that Fang Jinrong was trying to anger Master Fang. Du Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment. .

This girl is probably a little crazy. If she really fell in love with Li Jin, what would she do?

"The Qi family has been friends with our family for decades, and the prescription is not a problem. I will ask someone to deliver it to my wife tomorrow."

"Then trouble your wife."

After the two were polite, it was getting late, Mrs. Fang sat for a while and then left.

Niu Fusun and his wife originally wanted to live in Haiqing County, but his wife couldn't adapt to the sea breeze there. If you give them this prescription, they will indeed be able to build a good relationship.

Li Yuanqing came back and saw her smiling, and saw the ledger on the desk, and thought she found something suspicious.

"I don't know how carefully this account book is done. I can't see what's wrong. No wonder grandma trusts Yao Guanshi so much." Du Xiaoyu closed the account book. Yao Guanshi is indeed a talent. What is on the surface, what is the truth, has to be checked carefully.

"But I see something good has happened to you."

She laughed, "Yes, Mrs. Fang came here today to bring good news that Niu Fu's grandson's illness can be cured."

Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and examined Du Xiaoyu.

"I didn't betray you and ruin your reputation as the county lord. It's just that the daughter of the Fang family did something wrong, and I just happened to know about it, so I'm afraid I will punish you."

Li Yuanqing was not interested in inquiring about this kind of thing, but only heard that her silk quilt business seemed interesting, so he was happy for her.

Du Xiaoyu took off his official uniform for him, and went to the cabinet to get home-made clothes to change on, and said softly, "Today I asked the kitchen to cook black-bone chicken soup, I don't think you look very well."

Li Yuanqing pinched the center of his eyebrows, how could his complexion be good?
Father was handling the case in Jinan, and it was just an ordinary ink corruption case before, but it turned out that a prince was involved in the investigation, and this matter became difficult.The holy will is unpredictable, and I don't know how to deal with it. If it goes well, it's fine. If it goes wrong, I'm afraid the whole Li family will be involved.

He only learned about it not long ago. Li Yu kept it a secret, and he didn't know who offended someone in the capital to get this job.

Du Xiaoyu saw it in his eyes, and knew that the matter might be a little serious. Li Yuanqing was always a very confident person, and there were very few things that bothered him, but this time it was different...

But he didn't ask much, just asked the maid to bring the food.

"I'm afraid it's not enough just to have a prescription." After finishing his meal, he seemed to relax a little, and took the initiative to bring up the matter of Niu Fusun, "I heard that several people had approached him before, and none of them could talk about it. Some big merchants."

Du Xiaoyu nodded, "It's really strange. He wants to treat it as a thing because of his son, but he refuses to accept other people's money. I'm afraid there is something hidden."

Li Yuanqing smiled, "You all want to ask him about his experience in making silk quilts. If he refuses, there must be some kind of restriction. Think about it, the couple moved here to protect their son, which shows the status in their hearts. But I don’t want to talk about the silk quilt.” He paused, “What do you think of Niu Fusun?”

Thinking of that stubborn old man, she shook her head with a wry smile, "He is upright, not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble."

"Then why don't you want to say it?" If you are not afraid of anything, then you have to take the initiative to insist on this matter, so it is more difficult to break through.

Du Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, "Could it be..." She looked at Li Yuanqing and reached out to hold his arm, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"I just thought of it." Li Yuanqing was helpless and a little sorry, because of his father's incident, he didn't spend energy on other things recently, and he didn't even spend time with her after work.

Du Xiaoyu found another breakthrough, and immediately danced happily.

Seeing her so happy, Li Yuanqing also laughed, thinking firmly in his heart, no matter what, the disaster must not happen!
