Chapter 222 Just Consider It as an Owe to You
The next day, Gu Nian brought Shuanzi and his luggage to Gu Bei's house.
Gu Bei specifically told the shopkeeper that he would go later today.
The shopkeeper was a relative of his, so he agreed without making things difficult for him.
"Brother, Shuanzi, you are here?" Gu Bei greeted Gu Nian and the others warmly when he saw them.
"Second Uncle." Shuanzi greeted politely.
"Hey, Shuanzi, you are really energetic today. Your uncle will take you to the teacher to register later, and then buy the things you need for school." Gu Bei said kindly.
"Thank you, second uncle." Shuanzi thanked him obediently.
"Brother, is Shuanzi here? Come on, Shuanzi, follow Second Aunt. Zhiwen's room is here. You will share a room with Zhiwen from now on.
Brother, please put your luggage on the kang first, I will sort it out later.
First, go find the teacher to register, and then go to the street to buy some paper and pens.
Remember to come back for lunch." Li Yingdi said enthusiastically.
Gu Nian was really flattered to be treated so warmly.
"No need to eat, I'll go back after buying things for Shuanzi.
"I'll have to trouble you to take care of Shuanzi from now on. If he doesn't listen, you should tell him what to do. You should also tell him what to do at home. The little brat should do more work." Gu Nian said.
"Hey, big brother, what are you talking about? Shuanzi is such an obedient child, how could he not be obedient?
Don't worry, Shuanzi is here, big brother. I will take good care of you. "I have to say that Li Yingdi and Gu Bei are worthy of being a couple, and they always speak in a nice way.
"Brother, let's go." Gu Bei had to rush to work, so he left with Gu Nian and Shuanzi without saying much.
The enrollment went smoothly. I paid two taels of silver a year, and bought some enlightenment books, paper and pens.
Then Gu Nian sent Shuanzi to the private school: "Shuanzi, Dad will go back first. I will come to see you in a few days."
"Well, Dad, don't worry, I will study hard." Shuanzi knew that he would be separated from his father soon, and he tried hard not to cry.
"Good boy, study hard. You must not let your third uncle see that my son can go to school even if he is not used." Gu Nian still felt a little resentful that Gu Yan did not let Shuanzi live at home.
Gu Yan didn't know that Gu Nian still hated him.
Now Gu Yan is entertaining Manager Liu, but this time Manager Liu did not come alone, but brought a young man in his thirties with him.
"Nephew Gu, this is our eldest nephew and the young master of Dejitang." Manager Liu introduced him to Gu Yan apologetically.
Then he said to the young man, "Qidong, this is the Gu Yan I told you about. I bought the Resurrection Grass from him last time."
"Uncle Liu, Young Master, please take a seat. Orange, go pour tea for the guests." Gu Yan invited the guests to sit down in the living room.
"Brother Gu, don't call me Young Master. I am just a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Liu." Shopkeeper Liu's nephew said politely.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Liu." Gu Yan said.
"That's right. Manager Liu is my uncle. You can call Manager Liu uncle, and it's more appropriate to call me big brother." Liu Qidong said cheerfully.
"I wonder what brings you to our house, Brother Liu?" Gu Yan asked tentatively.
Gu Yan felt that since the young master of Dejitang had come all the way here, the matter must be of great importance.
And it should be related to the resurrection grass from the past.
"Gu boy, I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
I bought the Resurrection Grass from you at the beginning. Because the Resurrection Grass was so precious, I had someone send it to the Dejitang main store in the capital when I got back.
At that time, a noble person happened to be ill. By the way, let me tell you that my cousin, Qidong’s father, was the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The situation was urgent at the time, so my cousin gave the resurrection grass to the noble person.
After the noble man took the medicine, his illness was cured.
Now another distinguished person is sick and urgently needs the Huanyang Grass as a medicine inducer.
To be honest, the resurrection grass is precious. I have only seen one in my life.
Even my cousin had one when he was a child that was bought by the elders in his family, but he had used it a long time ago.
Now the noble man is waiting for the Resurrection Grass to save his life. Our family has mobilized all its forces to search for it, but has not found it yet... "
Shopkeeper Liu felt that he had caused trouble for Gu Yan and the others, and the more he spoke, the more he felt sorry for Gu Yan. Later, he could no longer speak.
"That's why my family asked me to come here as fast as I could to find my uncle. This time, I really need my brother Gu's help.
As long as this trouble is resolved, the Liu family will definitely reward you handsomely." Liu Qidong took over the conversation and said.
Gu Yan knew that there must be big trouble when Manager Liu brought people to his house.
This is not an easy thing to do. If you don't do it right, your family will be destroyed.
"Uncle Liu, Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help. Uncle Liu, you know the situation back then.
There is only one plant of the Resurrection Grass, and you have already bought it." Gu Yan politely declined.
Of course Manager Liu knew this, but the problem now was that if he didn't find the Resurrection Grass, his cousin would have a hard time escaping.
"I know. We came here just to ask, besides the Resurrection Grass, have you seen it anywhere else?" said Shopkeeper Liu.
"No, you also said that the Resurrection Grass is precious, how could it be possible to come across it casually?
We almost lost our lives because of that Resurrection Grass." Gu Yan shook his head.
Shopkeeper Liu knew that all precious medicinal herbs were protected by something, most of which were poisonous snakes.
"Have you ever been back to the place where you picked the Resurrection Grass?" Liu Qidong asked.
"We've been there. The price of the Resurrection Grass is high. We went to look for it again later, but couldn't find it." Gu Yan shook his head and said.
Liu Qidong stopped talking. They didn't suspect that Gu Yan was lying because they all knew that the Resurrection Grass was precious.
If a person can pick one plant in his lifetime, it is already a blessing from his ancestors and great luck. How can he come across it again and again?
They never imagined that Li Wanqing had a cheat code.
There are all kinds of precious herbs in Li Wanqing's space, and there are quite a few of them.
Apart from anything else, there was a small patch of Resurrection Grass, with at least one or two hundred plants. It was just that they were afraid of attracting attention so they couldn't take it out.
"Brother Gu, could you please look for it again? Don't worry, your trip will not be in vain. Even if you can't find it, you will be paid a lot for your hard work." Liu Qidong was silent for a while and then spoke.
"This...it's spring plowing season now, I'm afraid I can't leave.
Brother Liu, you don't know that the place where we picked the Resurrection Grass is half a month's walk from where we used to live. A round trip would take a month.
This is based on where we originally lived, and we originally lived deep in the mountains." Gu Yan didn't want to go.
"I know my request is unreasonable, but I really have no other choice.
Brother Gu, if you can help me, I'll just consider it as a favor I owe you."
