Chapter 262: Four Major Grain Merchants



Jiang Xinian was busy with his own laxative prescription and didn't say anything.

Little Lingling came over curiously and also imitated her master to diagnose Fang Zhi.

To be honest, I recovered pretty well.

However, although Xiao Lingling was taking the pulse seriously, she still felt a strange look in her eyes.

She looked up in the direction of his eyes and saw Fang Zhi looking at her with a complicated look.

I feel a little guilty, helpless, and even a little scared.

Xiao Lingdang was speechless. Could it be that this guy was still scared because of the beating she had given him before?

She didn't use much strength at the time, but thinking that she had done it after all, she scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Um, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you before, but don't worry, I won't do it again!"

Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed again, "It's okay, I did deserve a beating at that time."

I don’t know why, this is obviously the same person, but I feel like he has changed a lot. Not only does he speak very gently, but even his smile is much brighter.

After all, Xiao Lingdang was not familiar with him, so she chatted with him briefly for a few words and then stepped aside.

However, looking at the Fang family, she suddenly felt as if she had forgotten something?

But what is it?

I didn’t remember!

It was not until the next day, when she returned to the Divine Medicine Hall and saw the woman wearing the bamboo hat, that she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Little Doctor, I came here yesterday, but I waited all afternoon and you didn't show up. I wanted to go to your house to look for you, but I was worried that it would be against etiquette if I didn't send a letter in advance.

So I had to wait until today, but I don’t know if being one day late will have any impact.”

Little Lingling was very upset and slapped herself on the forehead with her little hand.

"Hey, I was so busy with my teacher's consultation yesterday that I forgot about it. Hehe, I'm sorry, but don't worry, it won't have any impact. Come on, come with me to the back and I'll give you acupuncture."

After hearing this, the woman nodded repeatedly and followed him to the back. This time she did not bring her husband with her, but only a maid.

As soon as Ning Shi lay down, she began to talk uncontrollably, laughing as she spoke.

"Little doctor, you are truly amazing! I have tried many methods and seen many doctors before, but nothing worked.

After just one acupuncture treatment with you, I felt a lot more relaxed. Moreover, even my feet, which have always been cold, became much warmer.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Jixiang. She has been with me since I was little and knows my physical condition best."

After she finished speaking, the maidservant who was watching beside her nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, it's true! Our young lady has been afraid of the cold for many years, especially in winter, she can't even get warm in bed.

But these past few days, our young lady has looked much better. Little doctor, you are truly amazing!"

It must be said that the flattery from the master and servant made Little Bell feel very proud.

She felt so happy that the expression on her face became uncontrollable and she was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.

"Hehe, that's right. My master is a miracle doctor, so of course I'm amazing. But, Master said that we should be humble and low-key, so just a few compliments will be enough. If you praise me more than that, I'll get furious."

When Ning Shi heard this, she laughed so hard that tears almost fell down, "You are only three years old and already have such extraordinary medical skills, it's only natural for you to be a little proud.

I have been troubled for many years. I once thought that I would never have children. Now, you have finally given me hope.

I don't expect to have a child as smart as you. I would be very satisfied if my child was only half as cute and smart as you."

Xiao Lingling glanced at her face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will happen. You have the blessings from your previous life, and you will definitely have a harmonious marriage and both sons and daughters in this life!

However, you should also do more good deeds and accumulate more merits, which will benefit you and your family."

Xiao Lingling's words may sound a bit fantastical to ordinary people, but they make people feel convinced for some reason.

So, when Ning Shi heard that she would have both a son and a daughter, her eyes lit up, "Really? I, I will definitely do more good deeds. I'm not greedy. As long as my family can live a peaceful life, I'll be satisfied.

As for doing good, that’s simple, and isn’t there a ready-made opportunity right now?

Jixiang, remember to remind me to go back to my parents' home later and take all the dividends my brother gave me. Let's donate some to the folks in the north who have suffered from the drought!

Oh, and I have to remind Qingrou!"

When Xiao Lingling heard that she wanted to donate money, she became interested and asked, "Are you going to donate to refugees?"

Ning Shi nodded, "Yes, I actually wanted to donate before, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. I just casually reminded him a few times and forgot about it.

I can’t forget this time, I’ll also invite my friend to come along, so it’s a token of my appreciation.”

"Since you want to donate, take me with you! In fact, this drought is too severe. I'm afraid that just a few of us can only make a small difference."

Xiao Lingdang had always donated grain before, and never donated money. After all, the Lin family was not well-off, and donating too little would be useless, and donating too much would be useless.

However, since coming to Beijing, she has saved up some money for herself. No matter how much it is, it is at least a token of her appreciation.

Ning Shi heard her worry and smiled, "Don't worry! Actually, my dividends are quite a lot. I haven't introduced myself before, but I'm actually the daughter of the Ning family, one of the four major grain merchants.

My parents have saved my dividends separately since I was born. Apart from a portion that was used as a dowry, the remaining half is probably worth hundreds of thousands of taels.

I went back and told my parents that I didn't want my dividends anymore and that I would exchange them all for rice of equal value and ship them over.

Qingrou's husband's family is the best escort agency in Qingyang, and they are also royal merchants. They have helped the court escort supplies many times.

With them escorting the food, there is no doubt about its safety.

In addition, Qingrou and I can hold a banquet or something, invite all the ladies from wealthy families, and everyone can raise some donations.

It won't be too bad! Especially the remaining three grain merchants, we can let them use food instead of donations.

It can at least solve the urgent problem."

Xiao Lingdang was a little surprised. Although she knew that she was not an ordinary person, she did not expect that she was related to the four major grain merchants.

If it can be done as she said, and all the merchants in the capital are mobilized, I can't say how much it will be, but there will definitely be millions of taels of silver or grain.

But if we're going to do it, let's do it big!

Xiao Lingling immediately began to recall the stories she had read in the storybooks and soon came up with an idea.
