Li Dawei was a little disappointed not to get an answer from his master. He thought about it for a few days and called his cronies.
"I asked you to find out how you are doing. Where can I buy Di Gu Skin?"
The confidant's expression remained unchanged and he kept shaking his head.
"As you, the shopkeeper, know, it is not easy to store the bones and skins here, and there are very few used in medicine. They are all sold out."
Li Dawei didn't reprimand him. He himself knew what Digupi was doing.
The confidant was advising again, "It's better to stock up on more Prunella vulgaris. Many people have made a lot of money recently. Shopkeeper, don't be confused."
Li Dawei was not confused, but he always felt strange.
But there was nothing he could do if he couldn't buy Digu Skin right now. He just hoped that Yuan'an was confused and would be completely defeated by then.
"Then stock up on prunella vulgaris."
He also stocked up on Prunella vulgaris. There was no reason not to do this kind of business that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.
…
Si Ning returned to her house from the hospital. As soon as the carriage stopped, someone called her.
"Ning'er."
No one has ever called her that.
Si Ning was puzzled. He opened the curtain and looked. There was a man standing in the distance. He looked to be in his forties and exuded nobility.
He looked at Si Ning. Although he tried his best to show warmth, Si Ning still saw unfamiliarity in his eyes.
Qiu Ju was next to Si Ning. She didn't know that person, so she was very wary.
"Who are you?"
"Si Ning wishes my father well."
Si Ning's voice sounded, and Qiu Ju was stunned for a moment, before she realized what she was doing and hurriedly saluted the person opposite.
"See you, sir."
Duke Zhen Guo glanced at Qiu Ju with a frown, then took a few steps forward with a smile.
"We haven't seen each other for several months. Ning'er has become a lot more stable."
Qiu Ju helped Si Ning get out of the carriage, and Si Ning stood still in front of Duke Zhen.
The father of the original owner was the person who personally "sold" the original owner to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.
When Lu Hanxiao was unconscious, the emperor heard that it was very effective for weddings, so he got interested.
There are countless young ladies in the capital who want to marry Lu Hanxiao, but they can never make their own decisions about marriage, and there are very few families who are willing to marry a living dead.
The person who can marry Lu Hanxiao must not be of too low a status, but most marriages from prominent families are tied to profit.
Lu Hanxiao was unconscious. What benefits could a living dead bring? Naturally, no one was willing to marry a woman in.
The emperor didn't force it, he just said that as long as they got married, he would be given ten thousand taels of gold, so the Duke of Zhen stood up.
The Zhenguo Duke's mansion has been in dire straits, and there is no reason why the Zhen Guo Duke should not be tempted by such a big temptation as ten thousand taels of gold.
His legitimate son is waiting for the money to pave the way to become an official in the court, and his legitimate daughter must have a family background that matches her husband if she wants to marry with glory.
The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is obviously not good, but if there is Lu Hanxiao as a brother-in-law, everything will change.
Duke Zhen Guo was reluctant to marry his legitimate daughter, so he chose Si Ning.
Regardless of the unruly matter of marrying the concubine first before the eldest daughter was married, Si Ning was "sold" first.
I thought that Si Ning would waste his life in Ning'an Marquis Mansion, but no one wanted Lu Hanxiao to wake up.
And he, a concubine, actually opened a medical clinic outside. He heard this from the sidelines.
He didn't even know when this concubine had mastered medical skills.
Seeing Si Ning now, Duke Zhen felt that it was a pity that he had not noticed this concubine in the past...
"Ning'er, I heard that you spent ten thousand liang on hoarding bones and skins. Is this true?"
In my impression, the original owner had never seen anyone from her natal family since she got married. It was like they had broken off the relationship after selling the person in.
It was still summer when Si Ning came here, and it had been more than three months since the original owner married. After all, he hadn't seen his father in half a year.
When they met, there was no greeting and they only asked about stocking up on medicine. Si Ning couldn't help but find it funny.
There is no difference between having a father and her not having a father.
"Ning'er, I'm asking you something."
Seeing that Si Ning didn't answer, Duke Zhen Guo's tone became a little more serious.
Si Ning collected his thoughts and nodded, "It does happen."
Duke Zhen Guo, "Sell the medicine immediately and get the money back."
This tone was ordering Si Ning, but Si Ning was puzzled.
"Why?"
"Now that your eldest brother is working in the court, it is when you need money. You are wasting money to buy those rags. Have you ever thought about your family? I know you were unwilling to marry in at the beginning, but Ning'er, think about it now. , did dad ever trick you? My uncle is in a high and powerful position and now he is in charge of the Ministry of War again. You have taken an advantage."
He wanted Si Ning to give the money to his legitimate son. Si Ning's money should also be filial to her natal family.
Si Ning was immediately amused, "Father, according to what you said, why didn't you leave this incredible blessing to your sister? Why did you let me take advantage of it?"
"You..." Seeing that Si Ning was still angry, Duke Zhenguo spoke a little softer, "Your sister is different from you. She has been pampered and raised since she was a child. How do you live your life guarding a half-dead man? You have grown up since you were a child. He is sensible and has good medical skills. You see, his life is not very good now..."
"Ning'er, you have to be grateful. The good life you have today is all earned by your father. If you live well in your husband's family, it's because our town government is supporting you. Otherwise, you think you can Mrs. Lu’s temper is why she keeps you here today, just for the sake of me and your brother.”
"You are from a daughter's family and have not made much achievements. Do you understand that relying on your natal family is the foundation of your life?"
Although the Zhen Guogong Mansion is different from the past, Zhen Guogong still puts on airs.
The combination of kindness and power made Si Ning bow his head.
If he gets back that much money, he can buy a bigger official position for his legitimate son.
Duke Zhen Guo only had one son, and all his hopes were placed on him.
Si Ning looked at him coldly without much expression.
"That's my money."
Duke Zhen frowned and said, "On the contrary, do you really think that if you marry into the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, I won't be able to control you?"
He wanted to hit Si Ning, but Qiu Ju stopped him.
"Master, please respect yourself. You can't beat my wife."
Duke Zhen Guo was very angry. He originally wanted to reason with Si Ning, but he didn't know that she was so stubborn.
"Si Ning, you are the daughter of Duke Zhen Guo and a member of the Si family."
Si Ning gently closed his eyelids and looked at Duke Zhen across from him.
"When you marry, you follow your husband. Father, now I belong to the Lu family."
"That's right."
A voice came from a distance, and the two of them turned around and saw a person coming down from the carriage not far away.
Lu Hanxiao was dressed in official uniform, which was different from usual, adding a bit of dignity and majesty.
He walked to stand next to Si Ning and naturally took her hand.
When Duke Zhen Guo was still in court, he had seen his son-in-law from a distance, but Lu Hanxiao's status at that time was obviously not something he could curry favor with. In addition, Lu Hanxiao was not in the capital all year round, so even if he wanted to curry favor with him, there were few opportunities. And little.
When he saw him today, Duke Zhen was shocked by his aura and subconsciously wanted to salute Lu Hanxiao.
After reacting, he pretended to be calm and put his hands behind his back and said with an air of dignity.
"So he is a virtuous son-in-law?"
