Chapter 93 94. Selling Medicine
Bai Yugang was complaining in his heart. This rebellious son not only caused trouble for him, but also betrayed his father. This time he was really betrayed badly.
"I dare not. I just want that kid to have more training."
Hua Shunming said, "Le San, I remember that when the previous emperor was in power, Marquis Wu'an submitted a petition to confer the title of Crown Prince. I guess Marquis Wu'an is old and has a bad memory. Please ask someone to find the petition so that Marquis Wu'an can have a model."
Le San, "I obey your order!"
Bai Yugang, "..."

"Lord Bai, let me congratulate you first. Let's leave the palace while it's still early! Please!" Le San held the imperial edict in both hands, with a happy face.
Bai Yugang's scalp was tingling. He could even imagine that the days ahead would not be peaceful.
Sure enough, as soon as Le Sancai left the house, he was surrounded.
"My Lord Marquis, why did the imperial decree suddenly come out?" Mrs. Marquis Kuang Yunqiao looked anxious. The Marquis had promised her before that the position of Crown Prince would be reserved for Jingyang.
The old lady tapped her cane directly, "Kuang, Jinglie is the eldest son of our mansion. It is only right for His Majesty to appoint him as the Crown Prince. Be careful with your words."
Bai Yugang said with a warning, "Your Majesty, Long En, Madam, you should also get ready. When Jing Lie comes back, we can set a date for a grand banquet."
After placing the imperial edict on the altar, Bai Yugang immediately went into the study to summon his staff. It was easy to appease the people in the mansion, but what worried him was the anger from his colleagues that would follow.

"Why is the street so busy today?" Ouyang Bing leaned against the door pillar of Tianfu Restaurant and asked the waiter beside him.
"Sir, you don't know?"
"Should I know this?" Ouyang Bing was so angry that he laughed. If he knew, why would he bother with this?
"Divine Doctor Guo is auctioning medicine at the city gate. He doesn't accept gold or silver, but grains, whether it's rice or whole grains. As long as the quantity meets his requirements, you can get the life-saving medicine that many people dream of from him." The waiter said this and looked at Ouyang Bing strangely. The divine doctor used to come to the restaurant to eat, and he had a very close relationship with Ouyang Bing, but he didn't even know about such a big thing.
"Is Guo Yurong crazy?" Ouyang Bing stood up straight immediately. "Doesn't he know how valuable his medicine is? How can he exchange it for food? Isn't that lowering his own value?"
He immediately strode out and rushed all the way to the city gate. Looking at the crowds of people surrounding him in three circles inside and three circles outside, he could only squeeze in with difficulty.
"Are you crazy?" Ouyang Bing blurted out as soon as they met, "If your father knew, he would skin you alive."
Seeing her friend's disheveled appearance, Guo Yurong laughed, "Anyway, he has to skin me so many times in a year, one more time is not too much.
Since you are here, come and register for me and see who offers the highest price, so we can have a choice. "
Ouyang Bing muttered, "I saw you were full of confidence before, and I thought you had come up with a good idea, but you are treating the medicinal materials you worked so hard to refine as plasters on the street.
If I had known you were so outrageous, I should have stored more food. It would be better to sell it than to open that restaurant with all my hard work."
"It's not too late now!" Guo Yurong has good hearing. "After all, we are old friends. As long as you match the highest number here, I will give you priority."
"You keep saying I'm a profiteer, but I think you deserve it." Ouyang Bing sneered, "I wonder if Uncle Guo will compensate me double if I pass this news on to him."
"..." Guo Yurong was really thinking seriously, "Ah, little ice cube, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't changed your habit of complaining."
"You don't have to let me complain. Just take me to find the magical thing you praised over and over again. I'll keep this a secret for you."
Guo Yurong rolled her eyes at him and pointed at the people around her with the tip of her pen, "Do you think you can keep this secret? If you want to threaten me, find someone more reliable.
But if you behave better and help me settle this matter, I can go and ask them if they are willing to give it up."
"real?"
"I'm not like some people who have been playing tricks since childhood. Let's get to work!" He really has no eyesight. Doesn't he see that so many people are still waiting in line?
Ouyang Bing, "..."

By the time Gu Wenheng and his friends learned that someone was distributing porridge at the city gate, several days had passed.
The area around the lake, which was originally crowded with people, is now mostly empty. After all, there is only water but no food, so there is no way to continue living like this.
"The hard times are finally over." Hong Daya found a rope and tied the quilt tightly.
Jin Qianqian is not so optimistic. "Now they just say that someone is giving out porridge, but they don't give any explanation. If it doesn't rain, we won't be able to return home."
"If it really doesn't work, we can come back here. There are mountains and water here. We can find a way to grow some food. Life here will be much better than wandering outside." Li Cuicui was actually not very willing to leave, but others might not be willing.
"Mom, this won't do," Jin Qianqian reminded her, "It's already late autumn, and this thatched hut we built won't be able to withstand the cold, and it's next to the water, so you can imagine how it will feel when the time comes."
"Alas! When will this kind of life end?" Li Cuicui looked at her daughters-in-law, "Have you cooked everything? The weather is getting cold now, and these things need to be stored. Don't go outside and waste water to steam and cook them."
When Jin Qianqian saw that the old lady's eyes were paying special attention to her, she knew that most of the words were directed at her.
"Mom, we are all ready, but I think my seventh brother's wife has been very idle recently." Liu Liu's words were full of gloating. "If we can't get relief outside the city, how are we going to live in the future?"
Jin Qianqian, "Don't worry about that, Sister-in-law. I saw you taking things out secretly before, but I don't know if Brother Four knew about it?"
Liu Liu's face froze and she looked at Li Cuicui cautiously. Unexpectedly, Li Cuicui didn't even look at her, as if she didn't hear the quarrel between them.
She glared at Jin Qianqian fiercely, then turned around and continued packing her things.
Hong Daya suppressed her laughter and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you got back the fishhook that I lent you earlier?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "I don't even know who I borrowed it from. I'll see if they'll return it when the time comes."
"You two are just too easy to talk to," Li Cuicui stopped what she was doing, "I'm not trying to lecture you as a mother-in-law, but logically, you should each take care of your own affairs, but you two are too easy-going. If you continue like this, when will you be able to accumulate wealth?
Sometimes you should talk to Lao Qi too. Don’t just follow his lead. He’s a grown man, how can he manage the family?”
