"What? Master Shi knows Mrs. Tong?" Boss Qiu asked.
"Is there anyone in Yongzhou Prefecture who doesn't recognize Mrs. Tong? Not to mention that she helped Mrs. Zhao treat her illness before. Just talk about the last 'epidemic'. Mrs. Tong did not hesitate to take risks with her own life, and finally helped the city resolve a major disaster.
Crisis, not only the people in the city, but also us adults are very grateful to her!"
"Hey, as the saying goes, you know the person but not the heart!" Boss Qiu said, "I have been paying attention to it for a long time recently. I have already brought over all the medicinal materials today. If Master Shi doesn't believe it, you can send someone to keep an eye on it.
, see if I lie."
"How do you know what kind of medicine they make?" Shi Da asked.
"It must be Jin Chuang Yao!" Boss Qiu said with certainty. "Among the four of them, one of them originally came to me and wanted to buy medicinal materials. As soon as I heard about the medicinal materials they wanted to buy, I thought about it.
The son became concerned.
"I originally wanted to hang him up first and then report to you, but I didn't expect that they didn't buy the medicinal materials from me in the end, but went to the Luo family to buy them.
"I know in my heart that this is a big deal, so I have been paying attention. I saw them transporting the medicinal materials this noon. Why don't I come and report to you as soon as possible!"
Shi Da had not had much contact with Mrs. Tong, and was a little hesitant when Boss Qiu said so.
Boss Qiu may not be clear about it, but Shi Da knows in his heart that the recent purchase of medicinal materials in various places has alarmed the local government and Prince Rui's palace.
In recent days, Shen Zhonglei has been busy with the drought and water shortage in various places, so he left the investigation and purchase of medicinal materials to Shi Da. If Boss Qiu's news is true, it can be said that it has been sent to Shi Da's heart.
Thinking of this, Shi Da picked up the wine glass and said to Boss Qiu: "I will deploy people to investigate this matter when I get back. No matter whether it is true or not, I will accept your love."
"I will come over to do business in the future. If you take care of me a little more, I will be very grateful." Boss Qiu hurriedly picked up the wine glass, lowered the rim of the glass, and touched Shi Da.
"This is nothing to worry about." Shi Da drank all the wine in the wine cup.
"Yongzhou Prefecture is such a big place, and you have been working really hard." Boss Qiu said with a smile, "Now that we are done with business, why don't we change places, relax and have fun?"
Shi Da's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood what Boss Qiu meant, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
He stood up and patted Boss Qiu on the shoulder and said, "You have a very smart mind. No wonder your business is getting bigger and bigger."
Boss Qiu laughed along and welcomed Shi Da into the elegant room that had been prepared long ago.
The singer and dancer who had been waiting here immediately started singing and dancing. Shi Da leaned comfortably on the soft couch. The two young girls immediately sat next to Shi Da at Boss Qiu's signal. One fed him wine and the other peeled the fruit.
After feeding it into his mouth, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous.
Boss Qiu also retreated with a wink, closing the door to Shi Da's room.
Shi Da drank a lot that night and slept in a private room all night. He didn't get up until the afternoon of the next day. Thinking of what Boss Qiu said the night before, he returned to the Yamen and arranged a few people to monitor Mrs. Tong.
Medical clinic.
The people sent by the prefect's Yamen naturally could not escape Xie Yan's eyes.
Boss Qiu's contact with Shi Da was also reported by people below.
Xie Yan became more and more suspicious that Boss Qiu's identity was abnormal, so he stayed put for the time being and planned to wait for other clues to come together.
At the same time, the Shen family was busy helping Shen Zhonglei pack his things. He was going to the village below to inspect the dry farmland.
Mrs. Xu was packing Shen Zhonglei's clothes in the house, while Shen Zhonglei was talking to Mrs. Shen in her room.
"The weather here in Yongzhou Prefecture has not been normal since last winter. Last winter, there was the heaviest snowfall in recent years, which collapsed many houses and trapped many travelers in the city. It was also the worst snowfall in recent years.
A rare snowstorm.
“The weather has gotten hotter early this year. In previous years, there should have been a lot of rain, but now it has not rained for a month.
"The places near the water source are okay. Although it is a bit tiring, we can still carry water for irrigation. But according to the situation reported below, the situation in some places is already very serious.
"I thought I should go down and have a look and see if I can help people solve some practical problems."
Old Mrs. Shen said: "This is a serious matter, just go ahead. There are so many people in the family waiting on you, so you don't have to worry about me.
"It's up to you to bring more people with you. You need to prepare common medicines. In such a hot day, you must pay attention to your health on the way. Don't worry about your mother following you."
"Mom, don't worry. Shu'er went to Madam Tong and bought a box of pills. There are some to prevent heatstroke, to stop diarrhea, to clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and to replenish the body." When talking about this, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but
With a look of relief, he said, "This child has really grown up and is becoming more and more careful."
"That's good. Mom doesn't know anything about official matters, so you just have to be aware of it." Old Mrs. Shen said this, but she still couldn't help but worry in her heart.
If this year's drought has a great impact on the harvest, it will definitely have an impact on Shen Zhonglei's promotion.
I just hope that he can really solve some problems during his visit this time.
Moreover, after Shen Zhonglei left, it was easier for her to investigate Xu's affairs.
After all, Mrs. Shen still had some scruples about investigating her daughter-in-law in front of her son.
Early the next morning, when the sun had just risen above the horizon and the weather was not too hot yet, Shen Zhonglei took the people out early.
Before leaving, he repeatedly warned Mrs. Xu and her three daughters: "I am away from home, so you must take good care of the old lady at home and do not make her angry.
"Yongzhou Mansion is much hotter than my hometown. This is the first time for the old lady to come here. She will definitely not be used to the weather. You have to be careful about the old lady's body and serve her carefully, you know?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely take good care of the old lady." Mrs. Xu said, "On the other hand, the master himself must pay attention to his health when he goes out."
After saying that, she turned to Ping Niang and said, "I'm asking you to go out with me this time so that someone can serve me well.
"You are usually a sensible person, so I don't need to say anything more. Everything must be done with the master's health as the top priority, and you can't willfully delay the master's business, do you understand?"
"Yes, madam, I understand." Ping Niang responded with a very respectful attitude, but she couldn't help but think of the pills Shen Tianshu gave her last night. It is said that it can regulate the body and help conceive.
Ping Niang felt her face heat up when she thought about what Shen Tianshu told her last night. She didn't know where the eldest girl got these things at such a young age.
