Chapter 246 Please come to the Lin family for a chat
Song Yuntang looked at the young boy in front of him who was only eleven or twelve years old.
"In this case, aren't you at a loss?"
Li Xiuqi smiled.
"Sister is my benefactor, so it's nothing for the Li family to suffer a little loss. Besides, with sister's medical skills, it's not certain whether they will suffer a loss or not."
"The Li family boy may be small, but he is very good at calculating." Yao led Baosheng and Baozhu out of the city gate.
Li Xiuqi saw the person coming and hurriedly saluted.
"Xiu Qi meets the county magistrate's wife."
Song Yuntang also hurriedly jumped off the carriage and bowed in the direction of Yao.
"Why is Madam here too?"
Instead, he gave the coachman ten copper coins and asked him to stay here for a while.
The coachman had no complaints after receiving the reward, and simply pulled the carriage to the side of the road to avoid affecting other people and carriages entering and leaving the city.
Yao looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.
"When I was playing mahjong yesterday, I mentioned Miss Song's name to those ladies. There are very few female doctors these days, and there are even fewer female doctors with superb medical skills like Miss Song. After hearing about Miss Song's name, those ladies wanted to invest money to help her open a clinic. I wonder what Miss Song means?"
Song Yuntang didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"I wonder what those ladies mean? Do they want to open a clinic with me, or hire me as a doctor?"
“Naturally, the former is more common.”
"If everyone wants to get involved, I won't let everyone suffer a loss. However, if I just open a clinic, more people will join in. With just one shop, the dividends distributed to everyone will not be much."
She looked at the two of them and said, "Well, I'll think about it carefully after I go back to see if it's feasible. I still have to send a truckload of medicinal materials back to Cile Town today, so I won't talk to you two any more. We'll discuss it in detail next time I come to the county."
As she spoke, she handed the box back to Li Xiuqi.
"Mr. Li, take this contract back first. If so many ladies in the county want to participate, I can't favor one over the other. I won't consider the contents of the contract for now."
Li Xiuqi took the box.
"Okay, when Sister Song has made up her mind, you must go to the Li Mansion and let me know."
Yao added, "This year there has been a severe drought, and the people's harvest has been poor, especially since the government collected taxes. In the past two days, the county government has received many cases of robbery and robbery. Miss Song, please be careful on your way back."
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhu, for your reminder."
Song Yuntang got on the carriage, said goodbye to the two and left.
Thinking of what Yao had just said to her, she took out the medicine powder from her sleeve pocket and held it in her hand. From time to time, she opened the curtains of the carriage to observe the situation outside, and urged the coachman to drive the carriage faster to shorten the journey as much as possible to ensure the safety of herself and the goods.
Fortunately, she was lucky and no one jumped out to stop the carriage along the way.
They arrived at the farm safely. Miao, who was watching her two children in the yard, saw the carriage and hurried out.
"The girl is back."
Song Yuntang jumped off the carriage and looked towards the wooden shed.
"Aunt Miao, where have all the people in the farm gone?"
Miao said hurriedly, "The people from Dongming Village delivered the yam this morning, and everyone is working in the fields now."
Since those people were working, Song Yuntang could only ask the coachman to help her and Miao move the things in the carriage into the yard.
The driver paid the fare and drove away in the carriage.
Song Yuntang was curious, so he put all the herbs in place and walked towards the field.
"Miss Song."
Wu Wei, who was standing in the field directing people to plant yam, was the first to see the newcomer.
The girl was wearing a light pink and beige top with a slanting collar, and a skirt of the same color.
Her hair was tied behind her head, with only a short brass tassel hairpin inlaid with pink and white agate in her hair. As she walked, the short tassel swayed gently in her hair.
Wu Wei just felt that he couldn't take his eyes off the girl in front of him, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
If his muteness had been cured when he and Song Yuntang met, perhaps he would be the one marrying her now.
Hearing the noise, Song Jinsheng immediately raised his head.
When he saw Song Yuntang, he immediately smiled.
"Tang'er is back."
"I'm back." Song Yuntang walked closer with a smile and nodded slightly to Wu Wei, "Thank you for your help."
Wu Wei waved his hands quickly.
"I didn't do much. It was mainly the people on your farm who were busy."
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Aunt Miao is already cooking, and it's almost time for dinner. Let's eat here first before going back. The food may not be that good, though."
Wu Wei said quickly, "As long as there's something to eat, I'm not picky."
Song Yuntang looked at Song Jinsheng again.
"Second brother, stop busying yourself. If you pull the wound on your body, you will be in pain again."
Song Jinsheng didn't listen to her.
"The land has been turned over in the past few days. I just need to plant it. It won't take much effort."
Song Yuntang hurried over to help him, "Did Second Brother go to Furong Bureau and the grocery store after delivering goods a few days ago? What was going on over there?"
Right now, after buying all the medicinal herbs, I only have 52 taels left in my hand, and I have to rely on these orders to get some money back.
Song Jinsheng whispered, "It was the busy farming season last month, so the business in the county was not very good for a few days. The shampoo sales were slow, but when we went there a few days ago, the shampoo in the shop was almost sold out. Just like last time, the two shops have ordered a total of 700 cans. Tomorrow is the delivery day. I will give you the money after dinner. The bricks and tiles ordered will arrive at the farm tomorrow. If Mu Dong and I go to deliver the goods, you have to stay here and watch over it by yourself."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"good."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I was just happy that I was going to earn twenty-one taels of silver from shampoo, but it was still not enough to pay the balance for the bricks and tiles tomorrow.
It's really true that you spend money faster than you earn it.
I don't know how the business of Huajianzui and Yujun Pavilion is doing in recent days. I have to go and check it out in the afternoon. Mu Dong and Mu Qiu haven't been paid for last month's wages yet.
My trip to the county town was delayed for a few days.
There were many people on the farm, and the land had been plowed before. Under Wu Wei's guidance, the land was planted quickly and was completed before lunch.
…
After dinner, Wu Wei left.
Song Yuntang went to the town, but before she reached Yujun Pavilion, a middle-aged man blocked her way.
"Miss Song, the master has returned to Cile Town. Please go to the Lin family to have a chat."
The man in front of him is Lin Hongshen's follower, and has followed him for twenty or thirty years.
Song Yuntang was a little surprised. In the original owner's memory, Lin Hongshen had never shown up since she was kicked out of the Lin family. Even when Lin Zhaozhao was imprisoned, it was Zhuang Wenyin and Lin Jingyao who came to her to plead for mercy.
This shows how cold-hearted he is.
We haven't seen each other for three years, why do you suddenly want to call her over today?
However, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family anymore.
"Please tell Qian Bo that I know I am of humble origin and dare not marry into the family of a nobleman. Now that I am married, I will not go to the family of a nobleman to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
He nodded slightly and wanted to bypass Qian Bo and leave.
