It's almost the New Year's Eve, and Lin Joy has received several New Year's gifts at home.
The Li family prepared a small gift, and the Zhao family prepared a generous gift. This was to thank her for treating the young master of the Zhao family, and at the same time to show goodwill to the county magistrate.
The leading Li family gave them away, and several other large households in the county also sent New Year gifts. No matter what they were given, just give them away.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo went to Zhao's house for several days. Mr. Zhao also saw the convenience food they ate. Xiaoduo even told Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zijun vividly that Mr. Zhao should know everything.
Lin Yuxi understood what Mr. Zhao meant, he was not interested.
She wasn't disappointed either. If she wasn't interested, she wasn't interested, and she didn't need to ask for others to like her.
It was already the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year would soon be coming. Lin Yuxi no longer wanted her two children to go to Zhao's house to complete their tasks. It was okay to go and play with Zhao Zijun.
Xiaoyu said, "Let's wait until school starts before we play. Leopard and Leopard will be angry after we haven't been together for a long time."
Lin Hexi said with a smile, "Well, there are quite a few people in the family. You should be careful. You can follow me into the mountains and don't go too far."
"Okay." The brother and sister were very happy. They hadn't followed the black panther to the mountains for a long time.
After taking two steps, Xiaoduo said, "Mom, Mrs. Zhao seems to have caught the cold. I haven't seen her in the past two days. Do you want to go and check on her?"
Xiaoduo thinks Mrs. Zhao is pretty good and she likes it very much. If she wants to go see her, she will go with sister Xiaoxiao. My mother’s belly is getting big. It’s been cold these days and it’s not suitable to go out.
Lin Yuxi said, "If there is a need, the Zhao family will naturally go to Renji Hall to ask for a doctor. Since they didn't go, it means they don't need it."
Xiaoduo nodded and went to the backyard with Xiaoyu.
Lin Xixi continued to look through Renjitang's medical records, and she had just discovered the problem. The Zhao family had not gone to Renjitang to get medicine for many days.
Renji Hall is short of several medicinal materials. In the past, the servants of the Zhao family would come to buy medicines, and if they were insufficient, they would go to Renyi Hall to get them. It seems that they go directly there now.
Even after Mr. Zhao came back, it's not hard to guess what happened.
Mr. Zhao is definitely not willing to have a quarrel with the Li family. He has not visited the magistrate's home for so long after returning to Yun'an County, which shows that like other big families, he feels that the magistrate is dispensable.
Because Renjitang bought the shop under the name of the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao wanted to clear up the rift with the Li family, so he had to cut off the relationship with Renjitang, so he didn't go to get the medicine?
It doesn't matter whether she takes medicine or not. What Lin Yuxi thinks about is Zhao Zijun's condition. After taking this prescription twice, it will be time to readjust it. Will the Zhao family come to her by then?
Lin Yuxi asked Uncle Xu to find Manfu and said, "Manfu, go take a look around Zhao's house in the past few days. Make a rough note of the people who come and go, and tell me when you come back."
"Yes, madam, don't worry, Manfu will definitely look at it carefully."
After watching for two days, Manfu gave a rough overview of the people who came in and out every day, "Doctor Li from Renyitang went there twice, and the boy from the Zhao family also went to Renyitang to get medicine."
Lin Joy nodded, "I understand, you can go down."
As expected, Li Wei started to see Zhao Zijun again. This was definitely not Mrs. Zhao's idea. It was quite a coincidence to hear Xiaoduo say that she also fell ill.
In the entire Zhao family, she is probably the one who cares about Zhao Zijun's body the most. Once she falls, it will be up to others to make the decision.
Lin Hexi was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Chen Zhongqian appearing behind her until a piece of clothing was draped over her body.
"This is the twelfth lunar month. No matter how healthy you are, you won't be in such trouble. Go inside."
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "I was waiting for you to come back. Who told you not to come home so late and asked me to wait for a long time."
"Is it my fault again?" Chen Zhongqian pulled her into the room, "What are you thinking about so much?"
Lin Joy said her guess, "The people I finally cured can't be harmed by that quack doctor Li Wei. But now that Mrs. Zhao is ill, Mr. Zhao stands with the Li family and deliberately benevolent."
Jitang keeps a distance, and I don’t want to come directly to the door.”
If it had been before, she would have gone directly.
But now that I'm pregnant, I have to think more about everything. If there's a conflict or something, it won't be worth it if I hurt myself.
Chen Zhongqian said, "There is good news. Maybe you will be happy after hearing it."
Lin Yuxi looked at him, and Chen Zhongqian continued, "In the past few days, there have been people in the county asking about Millennium Ginseng. There is more than one person. It must be those drug dealers who have gotten wind of it."
Yang Lin asked people to spread the news, but it couldn't be so obvious. They had to let people know step by step that someone in Yun'an County had a thousand-year-old ginseng in their hands. This would make it more precious and not look like it was arranged.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is not easy to obtain, and it cannot be bought with money, so these drug dealers want to get it, so they will naturally ask people to inquire secretly first, so as not to alert their opponents.
Lin Hexi said, "We only have one top-quality ginseng and one Ganoderma lucidum in our hands. The Ganoderma lucidum is not valuable, and we need some chips before those drug dealers will take Renjitang seriously."
The Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and those drug dealers are just asking people to inquire about the news at this time. If they release the news next year, many people will come to buy it. It would be great if they can provide more rare medicinal materials.
It's freezing cold at this time, so it's not suitable to go into the mountains. When the weather warms up, you can go to the mountains to collect herbs, but it's also very dangerous. You can't go directly into the mountains. You have to be responsible for the people.
The two were talking about business in the room. Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo came back from the back mountain. Xiaoduo said excitedly, "Baopao is taking us to collect medicine again. What is this leaf?"
Lin Xixi took it over and saw that it looked a bit like ginseng leaves.
She hurriedly asked, "Did the black panther bring it back?"
Xiaoduo nodded, "Yes, the little black panther ran a long way, and then came back with this leaf in its mouth. I thought I would take it back and show it to my mother."
Lin Yuyi had dug before, so he was quite familiar with this. He said with a smile, "The black panther is indeed our family's lucky star. It's getting late now, so I won't go into the mountain yet. I'll follow them to have a look tomorrow."
Xiaoduo was very happy, "Okay, my brother and I will go there tomorrow, but my mother can't go."
Lin Yuxi was confused, "Why can't I go?"
Xiaoduo said, "My mother is pregnant and the roads in the mountains are difficult, so I can't go."
Chen Zhongqian nodded approvingly. The child has grown up and become sensible. I am really touched.
Lin Yuxi looked at these people and found that no one agreed with her to go to the mountain, so she didn't force it.
Xiaoduo has been studying with her for so long, so there is no problem in letting her follow her. She should know how to dig out the ginseng completely.
I just hope that there are really a few large ginseng plants, so that the reputation will be great and no one will sell the medicinal materials.
