"Yes, of course we want it! Ten taels it is, we'll take it all."
Xiao Li knew this would happen; she was confident in what she had made.
A moment later, Xiao Li left Yu Yan Pavilion with a roll of silver notes.
Yan Jin was overjoyed. With these things, their Jade Beauty Pavilion's entry into the capital was just around the corner.
?
Dong Yuxuan entered the army camp, found his uncle, and happened to be there when new recruits were being recruited, so he successfully entered the recruit camp.
Because he grew up without a father, he was more sensible than most people, and he was used to doing housework, so he was quite strong.
Upon entering the barracks, he gained the favor of his superiors, and gradually rose from a private to a platoon leader, then a centurion...
Five years later, he had risen to the position of centurion and secured a place in the army.
?
Xiao Li lived a carefree life, growing flowers and making rouge in the village.
One afternoon, Yan Jin suddenly came to visit.
"Miss Ye, I hope my sudden visit won't cause you any trouble."
Xiao Li glanced at him, as if he thought she didn't know there was another person in the carriage?
"What brings you here? Speak quickly."
Yan Jin stroked his chin. "It's like this, Young Master Lan insisted on coming with me. He said he wanted to see the owner who made such fine tobacco."
"Hurry up and invite someone down."
Yan Jin then quickly walked towards the carriage. Lan Celin was a little embarrassed and bowed deeply to Xiao Li.
"I was being presumptuous, please forgive me, young lady."
Xiao Li stepped aside and served tea to the guests.
"What brings you here, young master? You don't just want to see me, do you?"
Lan Celin nodded frankly, "I'm a rough man, and I'm about to set off for the Northwest. Time is limited, so I'll just speak frankly."
When Xiao Li heard him say that he was from the Northwest Army, she couldn't help but think of Dong Yuxuan, who was also in the Northwest.
“I was injured at home, and when the maid was applying medicine to me, she mistakenly took the face cream you made. But to my surprise, my injury actually healed.”
"I heard that the face cream you make can reduce inflammation and treat acne, and it's very effective. I'm wondering if it can be used on wounds?"
As you know, the border is not peaceful, and the Northwest Army is located in a barren area with few medicinal herbs.
It's common for our brothers to get injured. If we had this kind of anti-inflammatory medicine, I think our lives would be much easier.
Xiao Li never expected that making a face cream would lead to wound medicine.
However, soldiers who serve their country and people truly command our utmost respect.
"I did add anti-inflammatory and analgesic herbs to my face cream. Here's what I'll do: I'll make a batch of anti-inflammatory medicine, and you can pick it up in five days. Consider it my way of showing respect to the Northwest Army."
Lan Celin stood up and bowed to Xiao Li again.
"On behalf of the Northwest Army, I thank you, young lady."
The three chatted about the current state of people's lives in the Northwest. Seeing that Xiao Li seemed quite interested, Lan Celin added a few more words.
A moment later, the two left, and Xiao Li began making anti-inflammatory medicine.
Many Chinese medicines can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Xiao Li has several formulas. She accelerates the growth of medicinal herbs in her space, grinds them into powder, extracts the essence, and prepares them into medicines.
It should be repackaged into the purchased ceramic bottles to preserve its efficacy.
She suddenly had a strong urge to go to the Northwest. Dong Yuxuan had caused such a huge mess, and then just walked away. She had to go and cause him some trouble.
Half a month later, Lan Celin embarked on his journey back to the Northwest, accompanied by Xiao Li, who was disguised as a man.
“Miss Ye, no, Brother Ye, are you sure you can get used to it? This long journey on horseback is no easy task.”
"No problem, I can ride a horse."
Xiao Li flicked the riding whip, which Huan Ling had conjured for her. The horse felt very comfortable when she hit it.
Lancelin didn't say anything more, just to take good care of them.
The journey was far from peaceful; they encountered several groups of robbers, not to mention the bad weather such as rain and thunder.
A month later, the group finally arrived in the Northwest.
General Chen Yi warmly received her, and when he learned that Xiao Li would continue to deliver medicine to the Northwest Army, he was overjoyed.
Xiao Li also met Dong Yuxuan, who came to the tent to report on the military situation.
"It's you?"
Dong Yuxuan couldn't believe it. He hadn't expected Xiao Li to be so lucky to still be alive. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
It's good that no one was killed; his guilt can be lessened somewhat.
He had been away from home for years and hadn't been back. His mother was illiterate and couldn't communicate with him, so he didn't know that Xiaoli was still alive.
"Does Commander Dong know Miss Ye?"
Then, Chen Yi remembered something else, "Oh right, you're from the same place, you should have heard of your name."
Xiao Li didn't even glance at Dong Yuxuan. "I don't know this person."
Dong Yuxuan was somewhat embarrassed, bowed, and withdrew.
Seeing that the two did not seem to get along, Chen Yi changed the subject and started talking about other things.
Privately, he had someone investigate thoroughly and, after learning what had happened, he couldn't help but sigh that Dong Yuxuan was truly young and reckless, and had almost harmed Miss Ye.
After this incident, he inexplicably developed a slight dislike for Dong Yuxuan.
Later, during an important battle, he removed Dong Yuxuan's name from the list, thus preventing Dong Yuxuan from gaining military merit, missing the opportunity to become a general, and completely rewriting his life.
Xiao Li stayed in the Northwest for ten days before returning to her small village. Every month, she would prepare anti-inflammatory drugs, wound medicine, and other wound medicines, and Chen Yi would send someone to escort her.
Five more years have passed, and the small village has undergone tremendous changes. It has not only become a well-known wealthy village in the area, but the entire village has also been renovated and paved, giving it a brand-new look.
Only Ye Shiqing's family remained the same.
Over the past decade, Ye Shiqing has been plagued by bad luck, which has prevented him from going out and meeting people. His status in the village has declined significantly, and he is now almost invisible.
As the villagers' circumstances changed, they no longer paid attention to his status as a scholar, after all, he was just an old scholar with little presence.
Several wealthy families sent their children to private schools, and they all passed the preliminary examinations, becoming students. Perhaps a few more scholars will emerge from among them soon.
"Big sister, look what I brought you!"
Xiao Li looked towards the door, where Ye Xiaomeng had already pushed it open and entered. Over the years, Ye Xiaomeng would visit her from time to time, and they had always kept in touch.
Five years ago, Ye Shiqing arranged a marriage for Ye Xiaomeng with the butcher from her previous life.
Ye Xiaomeng ran over to ask Xiaoli for her opinion, and Xiaoli told her to find out for herself. After finding out, Ye Xiaomeng bravely rebelled against Ye Shiqing.
Ye Shiqing naturally resorted to force to suppress Ye Xiaomeng, but she resisted to the death, and in the end Ye Shiqing gave up.
He thought of his lost eldest daughter, and especially since his two daughters still had a very good relationship, he finally made a concession.
