Chapter 410: I’m Under So Much Pressure

It was also because of this that Gongsun Zhongjing did not leave after checking for Madam Song’s pulse. Madam Song had injured her body in her early years, so Ning Fengnian felt that he owed her. He could work hard to feed her during this period of time and not let her work hard. However, he did something bad out of goodwill. The children were too big…
Xiaoxiao and Gongsun Zhongjing agreed not to tell anyone in the Ning Family about this. Firstly, they were afraid that Madam Song would be nervous, and secondly, they were afraid that Ning Fengnian would blame himself.
Xiaoxiao was extremely glad that she had made the decision to come back. At the same time, she gave the ginseng stored in her space to Gongsun Zhongjing as a backup. The hundred-year-old ginseng did not seem to be very precious in Xiaoxiao’s hands. She could take it out just like that. However, Gongsun Zhongjing did not find it strange when he thought of Rong Yan, who was a prince.
How could he know that compared to the other princes, Rong Yan was really pitifully poor? Fortunately, he met Xiaoxiao.
“You’re saying that you want me and Gongsun Zhongjing to set up the medicine shop together?”
Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “That’s right. Think about it. If this matter succeeds, it will definitely receive a lot of attention. Everyone in the world comes for benefits. If we hand this matter to someone who is blinded by greed, I’m afraid the commoners won’t be able to benefit.”
“If a greedy person comes along, the quality of those medicines will be uncontrollable. Can you bear to let my good ideas and all my hard work go to waste?”
Rong Yan said helplessly, “No, what I mean is, why don’t you do it yourself? If you want to find a backer for this medicine shop, you’re the only daughter of the General’s Residence and Princess An’ning, which was conferred the title by His Majesty himself. It is naturally enough.”
Xiaoxiao blinked. “Can you bear to let your little darling work so hard?” “I’m a girl. How would I know how to open a shop? My parents don’t have any experience in this area. I’m under a lot of pressure to handle such a big matter.”
Rong Yan was speechless.
What else could he do?
The moment Xiaoxiao left, Yun Er asked in confusion, “But Master, I heard that the milk tea shop that Miss and her Second Brother opened is set up by her. She even cooperated with the Li Family and Mrs. Shen…
Yun San raised his leg and kicked him. “Are you stupid? How can Master not understand what you know?”
Then why?
Yun San pulled him away and whispered, “Are you stupid? It’s obvious that
Miss is giving our Master benefits.”
Once the medicine shop opened, it would not just be a matter of money. It would benefit the people and save the dying and the injured. How much reputation would this bring to Master? Coupled with the victory in Border City, Master would no longer be that forgotten prince that no one cared about!
Yun Er sighed. “The luckiest thing in Master’s life is to meet Miss’s family, right? In the past, it was General Xiao and Mr. Gu who took care of Master growing up. From now on, Miss will accompany Master for the rest of his life…” Yun Er was very touched as though his son had just grown up. When he said this, he even sniffed twice. If Yun Wu knew in the netherworld, he would be relieved.
Behind the two of them, Rong Yan had his back facing them and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He knew how well Xiaoxiao treated him. Hence, he would not let Xiaoxiao down.
Moreover, according to Xiaoxiao, he could add Xiaoxiao’s name to the contract. This way, she would be rewarded with points in the space and the outside world would not have to be involved. It was decided.
just as Gongsun Zhongjing exhausted all the medicinal herbs in his reserves, a herbalist peddled a large number of medicinal herbs in Xijiang County. He said that it was because he urgently needed silver. Although the price was cheap, the quantity sold was huge. He would not sell anything if they weren’t sold in bulk. Then, Rong Yan bought them all and sent them to Gongsun Zhongjing.
He was at a critical juncture in developing the medicine, so he accepted this gift. He did not care about the Imperial Court, but he knew that Rong Yan was not as rich as other princes. He remembered this gift, as he could not take advantage of it. He had to send the money to him another day.
When the other pharmaceutical merchants and pharmacies heard about this, they did not take it seriously. Gongsun Zhongjing still stayed quietly in his courtyard and produced the medicinal fragrance steadily every day. The surrounding neighbors did not find it strange when they found out that a doctor was staying here, so no one knew that the courtyard Gongsun Zhongjing was in was already filled with bottles of various sizes.
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan had come to deliver food a few times. Seeing that the aloof young master gradually couldn’t care less about his appearance and didn’t even have time to tidy his beard, Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. Hence, she said, “I made a jar of side dishes to send to you two days ago, but I forgot to seal it. It spoiled after two days.”
“I thought that the sealed jar had a long shelf life, so I tried to make it like this.” She took out a small porcelain bottle with screw patterns at the mouth and screwed on the other matching small lid in front of Gongsun Zhongjing. Then, she shook it up and down. “Look, this can seal the mouth and it will not leak easily. It’s very convenient. I’ll boil some syrup for you later. If you’re thirsty and don’t want to drink water, mix a spoonful yourself. A bottle is six to seven days’ worth.”
“Oh, there’s another bottle here. I tried to make sugar pills out of syrup. You can eat it when your mouth is tasteless and mix it with water. Just don’t accidentally swallow it.”
Gongsun Zhongjing first took the small bottle in a daze. Then, his eyes lit up. Before he could say anything, he suddenly rushed back into the house.
Why was he only thinking about the medicinal liquid that had been brewed? There were so many bottles and jars. It was troublesome and expensive for the commoners to buy this. It was better to buy medicinal herbs and deal with it themselves. If he brewed the medicinal liquid thicker, wouldn’t it be convenient and cheap to dig out a spoonful and dilute it every time?
Or he could make them into pills, one at a time, saving time and effort!
The medicine page was a little embarrassed. “The two of you specially came to deliver something to my young master, but he… I’m really sorry. Young Master forgets himself easily when it comes to medicine…”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It’s fine. That’s what makes it even more precious. Du Zhong, take good care of your young master. He will definitely become an especially amazing good doctor in the future.”
Du Zhong thought so too. He even felt that Miss Xiaoxiao had good taste. It was a pity that she already had someone she liked. Otherwise, she would be so compatible with his young master.
Xiaoxiao could not understand the pity in Du Zhong’s eyes. Seeing that Gongsun Zhongjing had already received the hint, she pulled Rong Yan to look at their mountain in peace.
The space had already been exposed, so there was no need for her to hide it anymore. “These are all good varieties that I exchanged with my points. In a few years, they will bear fruits. They will definitely be big and sweet high-quality fruits. When the time comes, let’s pick fruits together to eat! Rong Yan agreed and was walking around when he saw Xiaoxiao frown. She grabbed his hand and the two of them disappeared.
Fortunately, the two of them liked to keep their guards at a distance now. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be scared to death if they went missing in broad daylight?
Xiaoxiao suddenly left with Rong Yan because the NPC she had arranged to stay by Chernan’s side noticed something amiss with him.
At Chernan’s place, he was looking at the scene in front of him in confusion.. He asked his subordinate, “Why are there a few more birds?”
