The rubber tube, the hollow silver needle, these things are not in the present Jingguo, so Third Uncle sent someone to find them for her from the other side of the world.
When Third Uncle left, he gave her another silver note, a full five hundred liang, which just happened to solve her desperate situation. There was a silk shop that she wanted to sell, but the owner wouldn't sell no matter what.
No matter what kind of business they were in, it would not be too bad. Furthermore, the interior of the store was very large, with a yard and a row of bungalows at the back. There were also three rooms upstairs, which were worth at least eight hundred taels of silver.
It was a pity that Lee Miaoyin only had four hundred silver taels in her hands. Furthermore, she had saved it when she was at Muzhang County, so it was far from enough to buy the shop. Third Uncle's five hundred silver taels was like giving away carbon in the snow.
In order to avoid any trouble in the future, she invited Master Chiang to appear and buy the shop in his name. Master Chiang was a person who thought long and hard about things, and in order to not cause any problems in the future, Lee Miaoyin's name still remained on the books, and the owner of the silken silk shop did not recognize Lee Miaoyin. After selling the shop, he moved his family south, and so no one knew of this matter at Jiangdu.
Lee Miaoyin named the medicine store Renhe Hall and sold it into medicine.
Before the opening of the Renhe Hall, Lee Miaoyin had trained all of Mazhong's family members to be experts in the diagnosis and treatment of common cold and fever, and had strictly ordered them not to monopolize the market. She had also asked some of the patients with minor illnesses to go to their respective medicine stores to purchase ordinary medicine, and to sell them only to those patients who had been taking medicine for a long time and were unable to cure themselves.
This was an unprecedented method of doing business. In addition to the admiration of his peers, there were also many villains who laughed at his stupidity. They did not earn any money, but instead wanted to give it to others.
Everyone knew that the owner of Renhe Hall was Master Chiang, but they didn't know that the real owner was Lee Miaoyin.
Lee Miaoyin didn't want to go out, so she stayed with Xiaotao in the manor. The two of them were happily painting birds in the courtyard, and maidservantyi rushed into the small courtyard, "Second Miss, the master and his wife asks you to go to the front hall immediately."
Lee Miaoyin put down the brush in her hands and looked at Ru Yi who was sweating profusely. "What is it?"
Ru Yi shook her head. "This servant doesn't know. It seems like someone from the Qi Residence came. It seems to be something urgent."
The Qi Residence? Lee Miaoyin's heart was filled with a beautiful smile. It seemed that she had never seen him in the past few months, so what's the matter today?
Lee Miaoyin and Xiaotao followed Ru Yi to the front hall, but the youth was nowhere to be seen. All they saw was a middle-aged man with an anxious expression on his face.
When he saw Lee Miaoyin, the man was slightly surprised. "You're Miss Lee Miaoyin?"
Lee Miaoyin nodded. "That's right."
The man's face was still filled with surprise, but he still revealed his purpose for coming here. "Miss Lee, I'm the housekeeper of the Qi Residence, Chang De. I'm here on behalf of Third Young Master to invite Miss over."
Lee Miaoyin frowned, a look of displeasure on her face.
Seeing that, Chang De immediately said: "Miss Lee, don't misunderstand. Due to Madam being ill for a few months, I have invited a famous doctor for Jiangdu to help me, but I was still unable to cure her. Third Young Master said that he had seen Miss Lee's extraordinary medical skills before, and he specifically requested that you forgive him."
She had once seen her extraordinary medical skills? Lee Miaoyin's face turned red. This guy, what kind of peace did he have?
