Chapter 445 Uncaria

The news of Nandan's withdrawal was followed by a letter from a flying pigeon the next day, saying that Mo Lanye planned to rest where he was and then attack the capital with all his strength.

Since the capital city is the gate of Youguo's destiny, this battle will inevitably be more difficult and dangerous. He Tiantian's heart has already flown to the battlefield.

Fortunately, Li Xiujun woke up the next day, and Ms. Lin said that after drinking ten doses of medicine, he would definitely recover as before.

He Tiantian quickly sent a flying pigeon letter to Mo Lanye, asking Li Xiujun to guard Pingxiang. She wanted to go to the battlefield and stand side by side with Jiangnan.

It took time to wait for a reply, so He Tiantian was not idle. She called Duo Yan and Hong Lu and asked them to use all their contacts to find out where there was Uncaria.

The common people do not know what is going on in the army.

At this time, Jiang Changgong was at Jiang's house, drinking and talking with Jiang Shi.

"I'm talking about Jiang Shi, I'm not talking about you. Your wife is so sick. Why are you running out all day long when you're not at home?" Jiang Changgong said half-said, half-laughed.

Jiang Shi smacked his lips, rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "You are still talking about me? Why don't you tell us when you will treat us to a wedding banquet?"

Jiang Changgong lowered his head and smiled shyly, "Come on, come on!"

"What!" Jiang Shi took another sip, his eyes narrowed with a hint of drunkenness, "I didn't say I wanted my wife to death, but our family is no longer a mess now, and my wife is sick again, what do you think? I am always a man, always guarding a sick young man..."

Jiang Changgong shook his head, "I'm telling you, you're already old, don't do those embarrassing things. Your family is now fully supported by Tiantian and Jiangnan, don't embarrass them!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Changgong suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Who said this?!"

"Oh? Thank you very much! How much money?"

Duo Duo said: "I asked around and they said it weighed more than ten kilograms."

"I heard from Tian Tian about this, saying that he would open a tea shop for him and let him run it by himself." Jiang Changgong's brows were still frowning, "But the idea he gave you is really not a good one. Di, tell me, you and your wife have been married for so many years, and now she is sick and you want to take a concubine. What does this make her think?"

"I need to discuss this matter with my son?!" Jiang Shi seemed to have heard something funny and laughed so hard that tears came out, "Okay, okay, don't say anything anymore. You can renew your relationship later and I'll go have a wedding banquet." You come too when I take a concubine!"

"What are you talking about!" He Tiantian laughed, "I'm surprised. I can't even find a few dollars elsewhere. How come they have more than ten pounds?"

"That's what you said!" Duo Yan interrupted her, "Isn't Mrs. Jiang in a hurry? Do you still care about so many things?"

"How can you go to Huichun Hall?" Hong Lu's voice was obviously unhappy, "They are competitors of Nanshan Hall. We don't need to go to Huichun Hall to buy..."

He is a little embarrassed about this matter. Tell Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid she will be angry and make her condition worse. Tell He Tiantian, this is a small matter at home, she is so busy all day long...

"I've been asking around all day. Do you have any news about you two?"

"I, I hear you mean you also want to take a concubine?" Jiang Changgong scratched his head and sat down again.

"What?!" This time it was Hong Lu's turn to be surprised, "I asked around and they said that Uncaria grows mainly in the south. It is rare here. It usually sells for more than fifty taels per pound. It is so in short supply now. Why is it so rare? How many kilograms is only a few dozen taels?”

"Ah?! So much difference? I don't understand. I gave them as much as they said."

Jiang Changgong looked at him with contempt, "You can do it! I think you should wait until Jiang Nan comes back to discuss this matter with him! And..."

"What?!" He Tiantian was surprised, "More than ten kilograms?!"

"What does she think? She is so sick, she can't think about me? Isn't it written in your books that women have to listen when men speak!" Jiang Shi said so proudly that Jiang Changgong almost misunderstood

He thought that the person in front of him was not Jiang Shi, a country man, but an official and a wealthy local man.

He thought Jiang Shi would be furious, but Jiang Shi actually smiled smugly, "My second son is not as bad as he used to be. Didn't he help you testify? Besides, Tiantian doesn't care about him anymore.

Promise to give him money to open a shop."

Jiang Shi suddenly slapped his thigh and drank a glass of wine, "Tell me! That Xiu Niang must be about twenty years younger than you, right? You are really an old cow eating young grass!"

When he reached the door of He Tiantian, he heard voices coming from inside, and he stopped outside the door.

Jiang Changgong swallowed what he said and turned around and left.

Jiang Shi smiled proudly, "What? Are you envious?"

Jiang Shi had an expression on his face that said, "I understand." Then he drank another drink and said melancholy: "Why are you so lucky, but I can't..."

"What? It's not enough? You want so much, do you plan to eat it as a meal?"

"Eh?!" Jiang Changgong's eyes widened, "You can't say that! Who wants to die like a wife? How lucky are you? You two are a young couple. In the future..."

What followed was a lot of words, "I did find out! There is Huichun Hall..."

Jiang Shi didn't say anything, drank another drink, and then said with a smile: "Others say that I am an old man now, and it is too embarrassing to have only an old woman by my side. I need two more people to serve me..."

"What a shame?!" Jiang Shi said in surprise, "What's so shameful about this? Don't all those rich officials take concubines? My son and daughter-in-law have a good future, and our Jiang family is no longer a mess, I'm here for them

Long face!”

Jiang Changgong's expression suddenly changed, "Jiang Shi, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't know about this, but I saw that you were in urgent need of them, so I bought them all back."

"What are you talking about? I don't think she is young, the main thing is..." Jiang Changgong couldn't continue and smiled.

Jiang Shi suddenly glared, "You're drinking at my house and why are you banging the table?!"

Having said this, Jiang Shi slammed the glass of wine without even raising his eyelids.

Jiang Changgong frowned and asked, "Did your second son instigate you?"

This means seeing off guests.

He Tiantian stopped him, "Okay, stop arguing! How many Huichun Halls are there?"

"Not much, only a few dozen taels in total."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Xu, please bring me all those uncarias. I'll ask Hong Lu to get the money for you."

"We have inquired throughout Jingjiu County. It is very strange. Although Uncaria is not a common medicinal material, it is not in short supply on weekdays. I don't know why, but recently there is not any." It was Hong Lu's voice.

Jiang Changgong hesitated for a long time. He saw He Tiantian coming back and entering the house from a distance. He calmed down and decided to tell her.

After many words, Jiang Changgong went in. As soon as he entered, he heard He Tiantian tell Hong Lu: "Go to Nanshan Hall and find a senior doctor."

"Madam, are you suspicious of those Uncaria?"

"I just asked someone to check it, and I saved the money for Old Man Lin, but he made trouble for me again."

After He Tiantian finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Changgong with a smile, "Uncle Chang Gong, sit down quickly and come to drink with me?"
