After Xu Qi left, Lin Xi waited in the store for a while.

Seeing that there were not many guests coming, she closed the door and went back to the backyard. Shen Chen happened to have finished heating the food for her and was about to look for her.

Lin Xi went over to sit down and while eating, he talked about what he learned in the department store today.

After hearing this, Shen Chen also told Lin Xi about the situation of the Treasure Building.

Both are pretty much the same.

During Lin Xi's absence, Xu Qi and the others were very up to date and made great progress, and did not make any mistakes in the business.

This made Lin Xi very satisfied.

After opening a branch store, she can trust them and leave the store in Ping County to them.

Immediately, Lin Xi talked about finding a place to expand red pepper planting.

Shen Chen said: "I'll do it, and I'll find a suitable place and person within half a month."

Lin Xi thought for a while and remembered someone: "Why don't you call Ding Yue?"

"Ding Yue?" Shen Chen looked at her.

Lin Xi nodded and said: "If you hire new people, you need someone you can trust to take the lead. After all, we can't keep an eye on him every day. And Ding Yue and I had a childhood love, and we helped each other find each other. I feel relieved that she will be a supervisor."

The most important thing is that the original owner promised Ding Yue that he would be blessed in the future.

She also has a good impression of Ding Yue and doesn't mind taking Ding Yue to make money with her.

Shen Chen didn't have any objections: "Okay, I'll find the others."

Lin Xi said: "Then I will go find her the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to make an appointment with Zhao Dequan. Yes, do you know that Zhao Dequan is back?"

Shen Chen said: "I heard Zhang Ze mention it in the evening at Jubao Tower."

Lin Xi smiled and said: "It just so happens that we will meet him tomorrow to see what he has gained from his trip to the capital. If he really succeeds in becoming an imperial merchant, it will be very helpful to our future business."

Shen Chen was thoughtful, didn't say anything, and just nodded.

Lin Xi finished her meal quickly, and then Shen Chen cleared the table and asked her to wash up and get ready to rest.

Lin Xi responded and finished washing, then returned to the room and saw that the baggage sent by Zhuo Minghe was still on the table. She carried it and looked around, trying to find a place to put it away and wait two days before going to the bank to deposit money.

Shen Chen came in at this time, saw the baggage and asked, "What is that?"

"Zhuo Minghe asked someone to send him a thank you gift before he left. You don't know, he gave us a lot of money, enough for us to open several shops." Lin Xi said.

When Shen Chen heard this, he remembered this matter, went over and took Lin Xi to sit down, and said, "I was busy earlier, so I forgot to ask my wife. Who did you save Zhuo Minghe?"

Lin Xi did not hide anything and directly told Mr. Xiao, "Before the plague broke out in Jinling, Mr. Xiao went to Jinling and accidentally contracted the plague. Fortunately, I can save him. Mr. Xiao is the same as Zhuo Minghe. I also sent a thank you gift.”

Shen Chen was slightly startled, but asked: "Then Mr. Xiao asked you to help deliver a letter after going to Jinling?"

"That's right." Lin Xi said, "That's Dr. Lin from the medical hut in the isolation camp. Do you know him?"

Shen Chen frowned slightly and said, "I don't know. I only heard Yi Hong say that he found a doctor with good medical skills in Jinling to treat people, but I have never seen him."

Lin Xi said: "If you haven't seen him before, then you haven't seen him before. I only got along with the old man for a few days, and I haven't seen him since. I guess he really doesn't know how to treat Mr. Xiao, and is afraid that Zhou Yue will kill him." He took it back by force and ran away quickly."

By the way, she couldn't cure Mr. Xiao, how could Old Man Lin be able to cure him?

Shen Chen suddenly asked: "Madam, do you still have contact with Doctor Luo?"

Lin Xi was confused: "No, but I know where Master lives in Beijing. Why do you ask?"

Shen Chen said: "Yi Hong would not remember a doctor for no reason. Since this doctor's medical skills are really so good, he should have been a famous person when he was young. Doctor Luo is very knowledgeable, so he might know it after thinking about it."

"Hey, that's right! Old man Lin said that his master is very famous, and he is also famous. My master may indeed know!" Lin Xi said, "Okay, I will write to the master when I have some free time in two days."

Shen Chen hummed, finished washing briefly, and took a rest with Lin Xi.

He was indeed tired. He had just hugged Lin Xi into his arms and closed his eyes to fall asleep when he suddenly heard Lin Xi ask: "By the way, Shen Chen, have you ever heard that more than thirty years ago, the old Chu royal family once searched for a famous doctor?" It’s been a long time?”

Shen Chen closed his eyes and replied: "I know a little bit."

Lin Xi asked: "Who is that famous doctor? Old man Lin said he is his master."

Shen Chen said: "I heard Taizu say that the King of Chu seemed to be seriously ill in the past, but no one in the world knew about it. In order to save the King of Chu, the royal family searched for famous doctors, and finally found a woman. But the woman refused. He disappeared without a trace. Later, members of his royal family searched all over the country, but could no longer find any trace of him, so they had no choice but to turn to others."

Lin Xi was secretly surprised. Old Lin’s master was a woman?

Why didn't Mr. Lin say anything?

No wonder Old Man Lin thinks she is like his master.

"What happened next?"

"Not long afterward, war broke out between Qin and Chu. Then there was no follow-up about that woman."

Lin Xi asked curiously: "Didn't Taizu tell you the name of this woman?"

Shen Chen shook his head: "Taizu is reluctant to mention this woman. I think Taizu should know this woman, but there seems to be some grudges, so Taizu keeps it secret every time he mentions her."

Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh: "Awesome."

Master Lin, Old Man, not only knew the royal family of the old Chu, but also the great ancestor of the Qin Dynasty.

I didn't expect that Mr. Lin's background was quite tough.

If Old Man Lin's master was still alive, he would probably be able to walk sideways.

"Okay, it's getting late. If you want to hear a story, I'll talk to you later." Shen Chen coaxed warmly.

Lin Xi yawned, nodded, turned around, found a comfortable position, and slowly fell asleep.

Listening to the steady breathing of the person in his arms, Shen Chen opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

He always felt that there must be something else he had overlooked.

So he felt that something was vaguely wrong.

…

The next day.

Lin Xi and Shen Chen got up early, had breakfast with San Bao and Si Bao, and then went about their business.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi was still reading the account books in the department store. The accounting clerk from Fulai Building came first and said that Zhao Dequan had prepared a banquet at Fulai Building and sent him to pick them up.

Lin Xi gave Xu Qi a few instructions and got into the carriage with San Bao and Si Bao.

When we arrived at Fulai Building, Shen Chen also happened to arrive.

And Zhao Dequan was already waiting at the door in advance.

Long time no see, Zhao Dequan is in good spirits and can be said to have a spring breeze on his face.

"Oh, Miss Lin, Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Zhao Dequan came up to say hello.

Shen Chen didn't say anything, and Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's not bad. Looking at what Manager Zhao looks like, I guess he's doing well in the capital?"

Zhao Dequan laughed, "It's all thanks to a few of you. Come, come, come in and talk."
