Chapter 381: Talents Available



Listening to the two people's sharp words, Wang Mengyan felt a little worried. After all, Yang Jiyan was the prefect's daughter. If she really offended her, it would be difficult to end well.

She spoke up to smooth things over, "Gigen is still asleep, Miss Yang, we will leave first."

After saying that, he winked at Yu Jiao, and the two of them left the teahouse together.

As soon as they left the house, Wang Mengyan whispered, "Fifth brother, your mind is not on her. After all, she is the daughter of Prefect Yang. If it is not necessary, it is better not to offend her."

Yu Jiao smiled faintly. She naturally knew that Yu Qizhe didn't have much towards Yang Jiyan. But she couldn't help feeling annoyed when she always heard people talking about her background as the daughter of a prefect.

"Let's go." Wang Mengyan and Yu Jiao said.

Yu Jiao thought of the little maidservant who had just followed Yang Jiyan. After thinking for a while, she said to Wang Mengyan, "Sister-in-law, please wait for me for a while. I will be back soon."

After saying that, Yu Jiao entered Huichun Hall. Seeing her coming back, Chen Yu, who had not yet left, asked, "Why are you back again?"

Yu Jiao glanced at him and said, "Something's up." She walked straight to the medicine cabinet and asked the busy boy at the counter, "What medicine did the girl dressed as a maid in a pink jacket buy just now?"

Chen Yu also walked to the counter and after hearing what Yu Jiao said, she asked, "Why are you asking what medicine others buy?"

Yu Jiao looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "Can't you tell me?"

Chen Yu smiled, "Others can't do it, but you..." He turned to look at the medicine boy and said, "Do you remember what medicine that person bought?"

If it was about other patients getting medicine, the medicine boy might not remember it, but he would have a deep impression of the medicine the maid bought.

He was about to say something back, but when he met Yu Jiao's gaze, he stopped talking. He thought that Miss Yu was also a woman, and it would not be a good idea to mention that kind of medicine in front of the young master.

Seeing that he was hesitant and hesitant, Chen Yu said impatiently, "What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say!"

The medicine boy made up his mind and said, "It's Hehuan Powder."

As the young master of Huichuntang, Chen Yu naturally knew what Hehuan Powder was, and Yu Jiao was even more so. She was a doctor, and even if she had never come into contact with this kind of medicine, she should know what it was just by hearing the name.

Shen Yu frowned slightly and looked at Yu Jiao, "Do you know the person who bought the medicine?"

Yu Jiao nodded. Was it Yang Jiyan's instruction for her maid to buy this medicine, or did the maid buy it secretly? If Yang Jiyan instructed her to do so, who was she going to use the Hehuan Powder on?

Yu Jiao's intuition had already told her without her having to think too much.

Seeing Yu Jiao distracted, Chen Yu, who was still waiting for Yu Jiao to continue, stared at her slightly worried expression and asked, "Who is that woman? Is she related to you? Do you want my help?"

Yu Jiao came back to her senses and shook her head, "It's nothing, we just met once."

Wang Mengyan was still waiting outside, so Yu Jiao didn't stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Chen Yu, she left Huichun Hall.

Chen Yu was somewhat worried, so he inquired in detail about the maid who bought the Hehuan Powder's appearance, the clothes she wore, and the jewelry she wore. He immediately ordered Dayong to find out who had bought the medicine.

Worried that Wang Mengyan's hands would get sore from holding Platycodon for too long, Yu Jiao held the child for her for a while, then walked to Yahang, where she bought a carriage.

Seeing that the two women did not know how to drive, the people in the group offered to give them a ride.

Yu Zhizhou and others met outside the city gate, and Yu Jiao asked the people in the group to drive them to the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, Yu Zhizhou was already waiting outside the city gate. The man from the carriage handed the car to Yu Zhizhou, who drove away.

"Third brother, have you found a job?" Wang Mengyan asked with concern.

Yu Zhizhou shook his head. "Maybe it's because there was a flood recently, and many people came out to work. Many shops are not short of manpower. There are only some manual labor jobs, and people think I can't do them because I look like a scholar."

He is not afraid of hard work, but his strength is indeed not as good as those big and strong men. Places that need to recruit workers to do heavy work don't like him. If he can't find a job, he wants to start a small business on his own.

When he was in the academy, his classmate's father brought some flowery paper from Jiangnan, and the two of them secretly sold it in the academy.

There were quite a few students in the county school who were interested in art, and they made some money.

However, it was too troublesome to purchase flowery paper from other places. After selling the ones brought back by his classmates' fathers, there was no stock left. Yu Zhizhou had no capital and could not go to Jiangnan to buy it himself, otherwise this would be a way to make money.

Hearing Yu Zhizhou sighing outside the carriage, Yu Jiao thought for a moment. She was in need of someone, so there was no need to avoid the Yu family. The people in the eldest branch of the Yu family were all good people. Yu Zhizhou came from a scholar family and could easily become an accountant since he knew how to read. If he was a useful talent, he could also represent her in negotiating business deals that were inconvenient for her to do outside.

Now is a good time to talk to Yu Zhizhou.

"Third brother, are you willing to do business?" Some scholars look down on traveling merchants, so Yu Jiao asked this question.

Yu Zhizhou sat on the shaft of the cart and sighed, "I have thought about it, but business is not easy to do."

He told his classmates about the time he sold flowery paper to them.
