Chapter 136 Full Moon Party

In the room, Li Wanqing had already dressed neatly, and even Xiao Xuanxuan was wearing a newly made padded jacket.

Seeing Gu Yan and Li Yaren coming in, Li Wanqing greeted them with a smile: "Brother Li, why did this alarm you?

Aunt Qiu, quickly pour some tea for Brother Li."

"This is a gift I brought for my nephew. I hope you don't mind it." Li Yaren took out two brocade boxes.

"Thank you, Brother Li. I'm sorry for the expense." Li Wanqing expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome. I hope you don't blame me for coming uninvited." Li Yaren sat on a chair and drank tea.

"We're just looking forward to it, how can we blame you? Uncle Liu will come over later, and you and Uncle Liu can have a few drinks at noon." Li Wanqing said.

As he was speaking, Manager Liu came over.

"Old Liu, you are late? You will have to drink three cups as punishment later." Li Yaren said.

"Why late? It's obviously you who came early." Manager Liu came in with a smile.

"Come, let me see the little baby." Shopkeeper Liu, worthy of being a doctor, came in and took Xuanxuan's pulse.

"Yes, the child is strong and well-nourished," said Shopkeeper Liu. He then took Li Wanqing's pulse and said, "Not bad either. She's almost fully recovered in this month. Although she's still a little deficient in Qi and blood, she just needs to eat more dates."

Manager Liu came on time, and after a few words, it was already time for dinner.

"Master, Madam, the food is ready. When will we eat?" Aunt Qiu came over and asked.

"Let's eat now." Gu Yan stood up and said.

"Brother Li, Uncle Liu, let's go and start the meal. There are no outsiders here today, so you two should have a few more drinks." Gu Yan led the two of them towards the dining room.

"Come, I'll toast you two and thank you for coming to my child's full moon party." Gu Yan picked up the wine glass first.

"Come on, cheers."

"Dry."

The three of them drank it all in one gulp, and then Gu Yan filled their glasses again.

After three rounds of drinking, all three of them had drunk a lot.

Even the host, Gu Yan, drank a lot out of joy.

Seeing that they had almost finished drinking, Li Ya Ren winked at Manager Liu, indicating that he should speak.

Shopkeeper Liu glared at him, then after a moment's deliberation, he spoke: "Gu boy, do you have any Seven-Leaf Flower?"

"What's wrong? Uncle Liu, do you need anything else?" Gu Yan knew that Li Yaren must have something wrong when he came here so rashly.

He also saw the little movements of Li Yaren and Manager Liu just now.

"It's not me, it's Xiao Li, his father at home needs it.

You may not know that this seven-leaf angelica is similar to ginseng, both of which are precious medicinal herbs for nourishing the body.

Moreover, people who are too weak should not use ginseng, for fear that their body will not be able to be replenished.

However, there is no such concern for the seven-leaf flos citratus (this is a fabricated word by the author, don’t delve into it too deeply). It is a good thing for replenishing qi and blood.

However, the survival conditions of this seven-leaf lily are very demanding, and it must be alive to be effective. Therefore, it is not available in ordinary pharmacies.

Didn't you bring me two plants a few days ago? Xiao Li came to find me when he found out.

Unfortunately, the one I had left was already sent to the capital," explained Shopkeeper Liu.

"Brother Gu, please help me, my father has been bedridden for several months and is now just a bag of bones.

Don't worry, it's the right price. I'll sell everything I have to make sure you don't lose anything." Li Yaren is a filial son, willing to spend any amount of money for his father.

"I don't understand this. It's all my wife's fault. Why don't I go ask her?" Although Gu Yan knew that Li Wanqing's space was full of them, he didn't make the decision on his own.

"Okay, go quickly." Shopkeeper Liu urged anxiously.

He knew that since Li Wanqing took out two plants so easily last time, she must still have some.

Li Yaren also looked at him expectantly: "Brother Gu, please. Talk to my sister-in-law and have a good talk. I owe you a favor."

"Brother Li, I'll go ask right now. Don't worry, if there is any more, Wanqing won't refuse." After saying that, Gu Yan went back to the house to find Li Wanqing.

"It's okay, Miss Li is a good person, she won't stand by and watch someone die.

"This is also my fault. I forgot about your father's matter. I was too happy to get the Seven-Leaf Flower and sent it to the capital without thinking too much." Shopkeeper Liu comforted Li Yaren.

It was just a coincidence that the old lady who bought the Seven-Leaf Flower from Gu Yan and the others had a distant relative whose wife was Li Yaren's sister.

After the old lady used the Seven-Leaf Flower, her health improved visibly.

Li Yaren's sister learned about this and after careful investigation, she found out that he had taken a precious tonic.

After further inquiries, I learned that it was the shopkeeper Liu who prescribed the medicine.

After finding out the truth, Li Yaren's sister hurried back to her parents' home to find her brother Li Yaren.

When Li Yaren heard that he could save his old father, he hurried to find Manager Liu.

Unfortunately, Manager Liu bought two seven-leaf hibiscus plants from Li Wanqing. He gave one to the old lady and kept the other one for two days before sending it to his family in the capital.

So Li Ya's men came back empty-handed.

Li Yaren was not discouraged and kept asking where the Qiye Yizhihua was bought from.

In the end, Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to say that the Seven-Leaf Flower was taken out by Gu Yan and the others.

Li Yaren thought so too. Apart from Gu Yan and his friends who lived in the deep mountains and forests, they could pick the seven-leaf flower. Where else could they find it?

He wanted to find Gu Yan at that time, but although he had done business with Gu Yan and others several times, they still lacked a close relationship.

I thought of taking advantage of the fact that Gu Yan's baby is one month old today to come over and give him a gift, so that it would be easier to talk to him.

Plus, with Shopkeeper Liu there to help, the chances of success would be higher.

When Gu Yan returned to the house, Li Wanqing was eating. Her meal today was chicken soup with wontons and a few tender cabbages.

In addition to wontons, there are also spring pancakes, and the side dishes include fried shredded potatoes and fried leeks with bean sprouts.

"Why are you here? Where are Uncle Liu and the others?" Li Wanqing asked when she saw Gu Yan coming.

"Wife, why do you think Li Yaren suddenly came to the full moon banquet?" Gu Yan did not answer Li Wanqing's question, but asked in return.

"Why? I wonder too. We don't have such a good relationship with him. Why did he come to our house suddenly?" Li Wanqing was also curious.

"It's for the Seven-Leaf Flower. He wants to buy the Seven-Leaf Flower." Gu Yan said.

"Buy seven-leaf lily? Why? Is someone in their family sick?" Li Wanqing said with a frown.

"Well, he said his father was ill. Wife, I just heard from Shopkeeper Liu that the Seven-Leaf Flower is rarer and more precious than ginseng.

Moreover, seven-leaf aconite is particularly suitable for people with weak bodies to replenish their bodies.

It won't cause the same problem as ginseng, where the body is too weak to be nourished." Gu Yan said.

"Does Seven-Leafed Aconite have this effect? ​​I really don't know about this." Li Wanqing wondered secretly. There is also Seven-Leafed Aconite in modern times. Although it is also precious, I have never heard that it has this medicinal effect?

Could it be that this seven-leafed flower is not the same seven-leafed flower? Yet it clearly looks the same as the modern one.
