"Dr. Du, please get up. It's not like we won't see each other again. You're just saying goodbye now, not saying goodbye forever."
Nangong Qing and A Xu are going to open a branch of Fumanlou in the capital, and she will naturally go to the capital in the future.
"Yes, Master."
“Master, my son is selling Baicao Oil very well in the capital. When I go back this time, I will definitely bring licorice granules and Sichuan fritillary loquat syrup with me.”
Let more people feel our original intention of saving lives.
"good!"
A whole carriage full of fine medicinal herbs, all a gift from Du Xiuyuan, which Su Luo accepted.
After asking around, Su Luo learned that Du Xiuyuan and Nangong Qing had left on the same day.
Both of them were returning to the capital, and they had company as they traveled together.
Su Luo didn't have anything good to give them, so she and Zhao Ruyun made a lot of dry food for them to eat on their journey, to thank them for taking care of them throughout the year.
The journey is long, and there will always be times when you can't buy food.
From Yongle County toward the capital, there were three horse-drawn carriages, followed by four more carrying goods.
Accompanying them were two other groups of people, all of whom appeared to be highly skilled.
I had never seen them before in Yongle County, and I had no idea where Nangong Qing and Du Xiuyuan had invited them from.
"Nangong Qing, Du Xiuyuan, and A Xu, this is some dry food that my mother-in-law and I made. Take it with you and you can eat it on the road."
Su Luo and Su Zuo arrived early, just in case they left.
Nangong Qing accepted the dry rations Su Luo gave him, his face full of gentle smiles.
He knew Su Luo would come to see him off, so he got ready and waited for her, but she still came.
"Luo Luo, thank you!"
"You're welcome. When you get to the capital, remember to write to me to let me know you've arrived safely."
"good!"
Ah Xu is very skilled, so Su Luo isn't worried about him. But Nangong Qing only knows a little bit of martial arts, so he can't even beat Su Luo.
Du Xiuyuan, needless to say, could be described as completely powerless.
"Nangong Qing, Doctor Du, the capital is not like Yongle County; it's a mixed bag. I have another gift for you."
As she spoke, Su Luo handed two small wooden boxes to the two of them. Upon opening them, they found that they contained hidden blades.
"Luo Luo, isn't this your life-saving hidden weapon?"
They had seen Su Luo use this hidden blade; the silver needles inside were poisoned and could instantly incapacitate the enemy, making it quite formidable.
"Who said this is my life-saving hidden weapon?"
Su Luo has plenty of things to save her life, enough to blow the entire Nanning Kingdom to rubble.
"These two hidden blades are for you. Take good care of yourselves in the capital. I hope you will be in perfect condition when we meet again."
Since the two said they were leaving, Su Luo spent two nights in the space, using the time difference in space to create this hidden arrow.
The silver needles inside were also soaked in anesthetic, so even if you encounter danger, you can escape even if you can't fight.
"Lady Su, you gave this hidden blade to me and the young master, but what about you? You don't have one anymore, do you? I can't accept it, you keep it."
Du Xiuyuan was a good man throughout his life, and he had no chance to use this hidden arrow, so he didn't even leave it to his master.
"I have more. These two were specially made for you two as gifts. Please accept them without worry."
Nangong Qing observed the exquisite craftsmanship of the hidden arrow. Luo Luo said that she had specially made it to give to him and Du Xiuyuan, so it seems that Luo Luo can also make weapons.
He had always thought that everything Luo Luo owned was left to her by her so-called master, but today he learned that she could actually make weapons.
This hidden dart has a long range and strong explosive power. The poison needle inside is very small. So far, he has not seen anyone who can dodge this hidden dart.
"Luo Luo, you always manage to surprise me. Is there anything you can't do?"
"It seems not at the moment."
Su Luo was just joking to lighten everyone's mood.
Nangong Qing thought that if Su Luo were a boy, he would be able to make weapons and be smart, and he would definitely be able to achieve great things.
"Then, Madam Su, we're leaving. Please say goodbye to Miss Xie for me."
It was getting late, so Ah Xu lowered the foot ladder of the carriage for Nangong Qing.
"Okay, have a safe journey."
"Master, farewell!"
Nangong Qing was reluctant to leave, and before getting into the carriage, he gazed deeply at Su Luo.
"Luo Luo, every parting is for the next meeting... I look forward to our next meeting."
"Okay, we'll meet again..."
I watched their carriage drive further and further away until it disappeared at the end of the road.
So many people left at once, and I felt empty inside. I stood there for a long time.
"Madam, they've gone far away; we should go back too."
Su Zuo reminded her from the side, and Su Luo nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.
Little did Su Luo know that after she boarded the carriage, at the end of the road, a figure stood on a high place.
Nangong Qing didn't leave until her carriage was far away.
...
Without Nangong Qing and the others around, Su Luo became even busier, with both Fu Man Lou affairs falling on her shoulders.
She also wants to follow up on Ji'antang's herbal oil.
My daily life became a routine of going between three points: home, Ji'an Hall, and Fumanlou.
The third floor of Fumanlou, which was originally Nangong Qing's room, is now her office.
When I get home in the evening, I spend time with my family and read books with my two children.
Fortunately, there was Butler Shi, who could handle most of the miscellaneous tasks for Su Luo.
"Madam Su, this is the newly formulated unified management regulation for Fumanlou and Ji'antang based on your description. I have written it down for you to review."
The plan was to have two managers of Fumanlou take charge of the entire restaurant. They had been training them for almost a month, and if they still couldn't get the hang of it, Su Luo would replace them.
There's also Ji'an Hall. Doctor Wang only knows how to treat illnesses, so Steward Shi found a new manager to oversee the medicinal herbs and herbal oils.
This way, Su Luo can relax a bit. As long as she manages the ledgers and money well, there will be almost no problem.
"Well done, Steward Shi. You've worked hard these past few days. Here's ten taels of silver as a reward for you."
"Thank you, Madam Su!"
It's not easy for servants to receive rewards. Lately, because there have been so many things to do, they've been staying up until late at night almost every night. They're really tired.
However, Su Luo was really good to their family. Since she came to live with them, they had long forgotten how long ago it was before they started beating and scolding each other.
Moreover, Su Luo is very generous. She has seen all your hard work. Madam Su also said that her rewards are given proportionally to the amount of labor you have worked.
"Madam Su, there's one more thing. Li Yongchang and the others haven't made enough tofu these past two days."
Su Luo: "Did they say anything?"
"Li Yongchang said that the soybeans in the vicinity were all bought up by Changping Village, so the production has been insufficient in the past two days. However, he has already asked his son to harvest soybeans in his hometown."
Li Yongchang and Zhao Chunlan haven't traveled as many places as Li Niu, so they'll understand eventually.
"Tomorrow, ask Manager Xu of Fumanlou. He has a wide network of connections. Ask him if he knows where to buy soybeans."
