At this time, Lin Jiuniang was still sitting at the desk, looking at the booklet on the table casually.
Sure enough, Bai Shao is not easy to fool.
Asking Gu Liu so directly...
Clearly he was testing himself.
He saw through it.
Really a terrible man.
To be an enemy of such people...
Lin Jiuniang's lips curled up slightly, she was so happy!
He got up and walked towards his room. As soon as he left the study door, he met Lin Keni:
"You're still up so late, what's wrong?"
Lin Keni nodded and raised the stew pot in her hand.
"Mom, Lin Dong said that you drank a lot of wine, so I made you a sobering soup. You can try it.
I asked Dr. Xu for the prescription.
After drinking this, your head will definitely not hurt when you wake up tomorrow."
Lin Jiuniang smiled.
He took her to his room.
While drinking the soup, he asked casually:
"Han Buyi often comes to you to ask questions?"
Lin Keni nodded, "Yes.
He was very studious and asked me a lot of questions about medicinal materials, all of which were very tricky and interesting."
If I don’t ask you this, where can I find a topic?
Silly girl.
Lin Jiuniang remained calm. When she put down the spoon, she looked up at her:
"Listen, he's not a bad guy.
What about you, what do you think of him?"
Lin Keni was stunned.
After a while, he finally asked:
"Mom, why are you asking me this?"
Seeing her mother waiting for her answer, she continued:
"You have a good character, you have a certain level of advance and retreat, and you can make friends, which is good."
Lin Jiuniang knew what was going on and continued to drink soup.
Han Buyi wants to take away her cabbage, but he has a long way to go.
Lin Keni looked at Lin Jiuniang curiously, what did her mother mean?
Why do you suddenly ask yourself this?
Say a few words, but don’t say anything anymore. Why is mom so weird today?
But her mother was surprised that it wasn't just a matter of one or two days.
Lin Keni didn't think much about it, and immediately chatted with Lin Jiuniang about other things.
When she mentioned that Dr. Xu was mysterious recently, Lin Jiuniang was stunned for a moment.
There have been so many things going on for her lately, and she has paid so little attention to them.
Then he curiously asked why Dr. Xu was so mysterious. When he found out that he was tinkering with various prescriptions, he shook his head.
"What should I do?
He is a doctor. If he doesn’t tinker with prescriptions but tinkers with other things, then there is a problem."
Industry specializing in surgery.
Doctor Xu is studying the prescription. What problems could there be?
Isn't this normal?
If he studied women, she would be surprised.
Lin Keni still shook her head, "No.
Mom, that’s not right.
Dr. Xu has also researched prescriptions before, but not like this time.
The prescriptions this time were very strange. They were for various symptoms, including fever, cough, and abscesses.
Isn’t it strange that he studied them all together?”
Lin Jiuniang frowned, saying that was indeed a bit strange.
Shaked his head:
"Well, he is just a bad old man who loves medicine as much as his life.
Just think that he likes to study these weird symptoms and don't worry about the rest."
He gave the bowl to Lin Keni and sent her away.
Lin Jiuniang stretched and lay back on the bed.
Dr. Xu must have a purpose in studying these things. It seems that he will have to find time to ask this bad old man what he is doing tomorrow.
The next morning.
When Bai Shao was having breakfast, Bai Hongchang rushed in.
"Mr. Bai, something happened."
Bai Shao put down his chopsticks and shook his head, "No matter what happens, you should remain calm.
As happy as you are now, it's easy for others to lead you."
Bai Hongchang was stunned for a moment.
Then he adjusted his emotions before speaking.
But his words still couldn't hide his worry:
"Mr. Bai, two things.
One, you are right, the sorghum in each village was indeed sent secretly by Lin Jiuniang to deceive us. I checked with some villagers to verify this.
I calculated that Lin Jiuniang defrauded us of almost 300,000 taels with just these sorghums."
Speaking of this, Bao Hongchang's heart ached slightly.
More than three hundred thousand!
Take a deep breath and grit your teeth:
"The second thing is that I just received news that Lin Jiuniang still has a warehouse of sorghum hidden in her hands."
Damn it, no wonder this woman has been taking her time.
It turns out that I was already prepared.
The first thing, Bai Shao didn't care about, it was just money.
But the second thing happened, Bai Shao's expression changed.
There is actually a warehouse of sorghum.
Where did this woman get so much sorghum?
Bai Shao couldn't sit still.
Without saying a word, Bai Hongchang was asked to lead the way. He wanted to confirm it himself.
But halfway through, Bai Shao suddenly stopped.
Bai Hongchang frowned, "Mr. Bai, we haven't arrived yet."
Bai Shao didn't say anything, he just asked him to go there first and he would rush over later.
After that, he left behind Bai Hongchang who looked confused and quickly left in another direction.
Bai Shao went to find Gu Liu.
After meeting Gu Liu, Bai Shao didn't hide his intention at all and said it directly.
Gu Liu shook his head, "Mr. Bai, I can't tell you this.
This is a business secret. If I tell you, it will be equivalent to betraying Mrs. Lin.
I can't do this kind of thing."
Bai Shao nodded, "I know."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into his hand calmly.
Gu Liu wanted to refuse.
But Bai Shao didn't allow her to refuse, "I want to ask you a simple question, I won't embarrass you."
Gu Liu felt the thickness of the banknote in his hand.
He hesitated and said:
"Just ask. If, if it's a matter of betraying Mrs. Lin, I tell you, I won't do it."
Bai Shao breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice:
"How many warehouses of sorghum does she have?"
Gu Liu opened his eyes wide, "Well, I..."
"Gu Liu, I just want to know this," Bai Shao interrupted.
Gu Liu hesitated and shook his head twice, "I don't know, I don't know."
Bai Shao glanced at him, turned and left.
Gu Liu stood there until his figure disappeared, then he raised his hand with a half-smile.
Looking at the banknote in my hand, it is really generous.
And another warehouse of Lin Kee.
Lin Jiuniang is taking Chen Haiping to inspect sorghum.
Chen Haiping knew that she wanted to make sorghum wine, so he shook his head first:
"Ms. Lin, this is my first time making sorghum wine.
I can't say for sure about this quality, I still have to spend time exploring it.
So, you can’t rush me on this matter, you have to give me some time.”
"So, you are not sure that you can brew sorghum wine of the same quality as the Bai family?" Lin Jiuniang looked at him.
Chen Haiping rolled his eyes:
"Ms. Lin, are you dreaming?"
"The Bai family's sorghum wine is a fine wine that has been continuously improved by the Bai family for more than ten generations.
If you want me, a person who has never made sorghum wine before, to make sorghum wine of the same quality as others, please don't make things difficult for me, I can't do it."
Lin Jiuniang was depressed, "So you can't brew it?"
"Sorghum wine can be brewed, but I can't guarantee the quality," Chen Haiping said seriously.
"Well, there is so much sorghum here, then you can try it slowly," Lin Jiuniang said indifferently, "There is so much sorghum, it is enough for you to make high-quality sorghum wine."
"If you don't feel bad, of course I can give it a try."
…
The two of them walked out of the warehouse while talking.
When she saw Bai Hongchang looking outside into the warehouse, Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows:
"Butler Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Hongchang was touched and felt a little unnatural:
"Haha, I, I said I was taking a walk, do you believe it?"
walk?
Lin Jiuniang glanced at the sky and said with a smile:
"Haha, believe it, I believe whatever you say.
Then you continue to walk slowly, we have something to do and we have to leave first."
After saying that, he asked people to close the door and prepare to leave.
Want to leave?
Bai Hongchang was anxious. He hadn't figured out whether it was sorghum inside, so how could she leave?
