While Shen Tianshu was at home inquiring about Shen Zhonglei's upcoming business arrangements, Xie Yan was not idle either. After summarizing the situation in Yongzhou Mansion and reporting it to the palace, he hurriedly returned to Luo's house to help with the sale of medicinal materials.
"The matter in Yongzhou Prefecture has been cleared up. The Luo family only needs to transport the medicinal materials purchased by Brother Shun to Lady Tong's medical clinic according to Brother Shun's request.
"Don't worry, after the medicinal materials are sold, this matter will have nothing to do with the Luo family."
The Luo family knew Xie Yan's identity, so his last words were equivalent to a promise made by Prince Rui's palace to the Luo family.
After all, it's not like the Luo family really lacks the business of selling medicinal materials. If it weren't for the needs of Prince Rui's Palace, they would never take on this kind of business that makes little money and takes risks out of thin air.
However, after Xie Yan said this, Luo Shisheng's face was still a little solemn, not relaxed.
Seeing that Xie Yan was about to escort the medicinal materials away, Luo Shisheng finally couldn't help but pulled Xie Yan aside and asked, "What is the relationship between Lady Tong and the palace?"
Xie Yan thought he was worried about Shen Tianshu's reliability, so he said, "Don't worry, Madam Tong is someone the Crown Prince trusts, and there will be no problem."
Luo Shisheng became more thoughtful after hearing this. Through this period of contact, he knew that Xie Yan was very cautious.
If he dared to say such a thing, it was absolutely impossible for him to talk nonsense. It seemed that the relationship between Lady Tong and the palace was indeed not shallow.
Thinking that his family had refused to cooperate with Lady Tong before, he couldn't help but start thinking more.
After sending Xie Yan and the medicinal materials away, Luo Shisheng immediately went home to find Mr. Luo and told him what he had just learned.
"Dad, this Lady Tong has a close relationship with Prince Rui's Palace. Isn't it bad if we refuse to cooperate with her over and over again?"
Mr. Luo also looked thoughtful when he heard this.
Luo Shizhong heard this and said: "Dad, brother, Mrs. Tong is not the kind of person who uses power to oppress others, otherwise she could have used the power of Prince Rui's palace to force us from the beginning.
"Since she has never mentioned this, it proves that she has no intention of doing this. I think we don't need to worry too much."
Mr. Luo can naturally understand these things, but he thinks even deeper than his son.
The prosperity of the Luo family in the past few years has begun to decline following the Jiang family's troubles. They will definitely need to find someone to cooperate with them.
Mr. Luo had been unwilling to cooperate with Mrs. Tong before, mainly because he was worried about her future development and did not know to what extent it would develop.
But if it was Prince Rui's palace behind her, then it would be a different story.
Mr. Luo knew in his heart that if the Luo family continued like this, it would probably begin to decline before he could hand over all the business to his son.
He pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "When this matter is over, I will go to Yongzhou Mansion in person to meet this Lady Tong, and then I will make a decision."
Xie Yan escorted the medicinal materials all the way to Yongzhou Mansion.
When entering the city, Brother Shun was extremely nervous. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers at the city gate did not check the contents of the car at all. They took the coins given by Xie Yan and let him go happily.
After entering the city, Brother Shun breathed a sigh of relief. He walked all the way to Renhe Street and stopped at the entrance of Mrs. Tong's hospital. He watched everyone move bags of medicinal materials into the hospital.
Because of Shen Tianshu's participation, Xie Yan did not pretend to be the Luo family's coachman as originally planned. Instead, he claimed to be a member of the medical clinic and took Brother Shun all the way into the hospital.
Gao Shan had already learned Xie Yan's identity, and his attitude towards him was a bit more polite than before. He greeted him with a smile and said, "We're here so soon, I thought it would take more than half an hour.
"You've had a hard journey, go inside and have a rest. I asked someone to make sour plum soup early, and I've been basking in the well. I'd like to drink a bowl of it to cool down."
Gao Shan then said to Brother Shun: "The other three people came here early to wait for you, and they are all sitting in the flower hall now!"
Brother Shun quickly said: "I'm really causing trouble for you."
Gao Shan smiled and led the person inside, saying, "What's the trouble? Our medical clinic has not been open recently, and the owner is also worried.
"Now that I've helped take over your pharmaceutical business, it's better than the whole family being idle. When my boss knew that he not only praised me, but also gave me a reward!"
Gao Shan had been in the Liu family before and had come into contact with a lot of various people, so it was easy to deal with people like Brother Shun.
He was in sharp contrast to the unsmiling Xie Yan, and soon Brother Shun felt that he was particularly friendly.
The three of them entered the house and saw Chengzi, Dafeng and Xiaoliuzi sitting in the house drinking sour plum soup.
Seeing the three of them, Xiao Liuzi was the first to jump up and ask, "Brother Shun, have the medicinal materials been shipped?"
"Well, everything has been shipped here. The journey has been smooth." Brother Shun's last words of smoothness naturally meant that he was not interrogated by the government.
The three of them were relieved when they heard this, feeling that maybe they were too timid before.
Xiao Liuzi was the youngest among the few people, and he was careless and didn't think about it that much. When he heard that it went well, he couldn't help laughing.
Nariko and Omine's originally tense mood gradually relaxed.
Thinking about it, in a place as big as Daqi, they were just buying some medicinal materials and making some gold-based medicine, so it was so easy for them to be noticed by the government.
Dafeng asked anxiously: "Then can we start making medicine now?"
Hearing this, Gao Shan smiled and said, "You guys don't have to be so impatient. Xiao Xie and Brother Shun must have been exhausted this morning. Let's have a meal first and talk about medicine in the afternoon."
Although he already knew Xie Yan's identity, Gao Shan didn't know how to call him for a while. In the end, he had to call him "Xie" based on his age.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pay attention to Xie Yan's expression with his peripheral vision, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that he didn't look angry.
Although I have had contact with him before, I know that although Xie Yan is taciturn, he is not a difficult person to get along with.
But after knowing that he was a secret guard of the palace, Gao Shan's mentality first changed, and it was difficult to treat him like before.
Hearing this, Dafeng felt that he was a little too anxious. He scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "Yes, it's almost time to eat."
Brother Shun said politely: "Why are you so embarrassed to bother us at the hospital? We live so close to each other. We can just come back after we go back and eat."
"The food is almost ready. If you rest for a while, we can start eating."
Gao Shan didn't wait for Brother Shun to refuse, and directly asked someone to bring them refreshing sour plum soup, and then ordered them to cook quickly and start the meal as soon as possible.
