Chapter 156 My dear, you are finally here
Mo Jiuye couldn't understand the simplified Chinese characters in the book. Seeing He Zhiran's serious expression for a long time, he asked with concern:
"Can't you find a way to detoxify?"
"I've found the formula for the antidote, but one of the ingredients is so rare I'm worried I won't be able to get it."
Mo Jiuye asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs are they?"
"Danpi, have you heard of it?"
"You mean Christmas skin?"
Judging from Mo Jiuye's tone, he was not unfamiliar with this.
"Do you know Danpi?" He Zhiran seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Two years ago, I was ordered to escort the Fourth Princess to southern Xinjiang for her marriage. Her dowry included a medicinal herb called Danpi."
When he heard that it was the fourth princess's dowry, He Zhiran first thought of the queen.
The fourth princess was the Queen's biological daughter. It was understandable that her dowry included medicinal herbs, but the Queen was willing to give her such precious herbs with only a single effect, which made people think more.
Mo Jiuye suddenly thought of this truth.
The two looked at each other knowingly, neither of them said a word.
The Queen must have been worried that the Mo family would discover the clues and find the formula for the antidote, which would make all her efforts in vain. Therefore, she gave the Danpi as the fourth princess's dowry and asked her to take it to southern Xinjiang, so as to completely cut off the Mo family's hopes.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye was so angry that his veins popped out. He wished he could rush into the palace right now and kill that vicious woman.
Mo Jiuye himself did not realize that his desire for revenge had become increasingly uncontrollable.
He Zhiran knew how precious the banana skin was. Since Mo Jiuye knew the whereabouts of the medicinal materials, her target could only be southern Xinjiang.
My sisters-in-law were poisoned, but their lives were not in danger, so there was no rush to detoxify them.
After settling down in the northwest, they would definitely have to go to southern Xinjiang to find the whereabouts of their eldest and second brothers, and take the opportunity to look for Danpi's whereabouts.
It has to be said that the two of them had exactly the same thoughts, and Mo Jiuye also thought so.
Therefore, the matter of finding Danpi was put aside for the time being, and a solution would be found after arriving in southern Xinjiang.
Of course, He Zhiran would also pay close attention to the developments on Taobaobao. In case that special serum became widely used, Taobaobao might have a sales link.
In short, He Zhiran will keep these two detoxification directions in mind.
After all, it was broad daylight, and the two of them couldn't linger in the space for too long, so He Zhiran took Mo Jiuye away with him.
She went to check on Sixth Sister-in-law.
After taking the medicine, Sister-in-law Liu broke out in a sweat and is now fine.
She heard that she had made money from making dolls yesterday, and she felt better and wanted to continue making them.
Her thoughts were stopped by He Zhiran. It was understandable to want to make money, but health was the most important.
Sister-in-law Liu had no choice but to continue lying in the tent to rest.
Three days passed by unknowingly.
Still, they had not received any notice of release, but more and more officers and soldiers came here to look for people.
Armed officers and soldiers could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city, and they asked everyone they met if they had seen the whereabouts of His Royal Highness Prince Heng.
As a result, people rarely went out unless it was something important, and the business of the shops on both sides of the street plummeted.
However, this situation did not affect the embroidery room's business.
Not only was there no impact, but the number of customers coming to the embroidery room increased.
The reason is simple: it’s all thanks to the long-eared rabbit doll.
Three days later, when He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye came to the door again with 131 dolls, they saw that the embroidery room was full of people.
Everyone urged the shopkeeper to ask when the long-eared rabbit doll would arrive.
The shopkeeper couldn't produce the doll, but didn't want to lose so much business, so he kept trying to appease the customers.
Just when she was talking about being thirsty and was about to drink some water, she looked up and saw He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye walking in carrying a large package.
The shopkeeper was immediately delighted and hurried to greet him.
"My dear, you are finally here. If you hadn't come earlier, my shop would have been demolished."
He Zhiran didn't have a good impression of the shopkeeper, so he handed the long-eared rabbit doll to her. After she checked it, he took the silver and left with Mo Jiuye.
As soon as I walked out of the embroidery room, I saw Tang Mingrui standing across the road.
Because of the city lockdown, Tang Mingrui never left.
At the same time, he also found that the Salt Gang members who had been causing trouble in the past few days had disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, so he wanted to come out and get some fresh air.
Unexpectedly, when he passed by the embroidery room, he discovered something unusual here.
Unlike other shops that are deserted, this one is crowded.
Out of curiosity, he stood here and decided to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, I saw Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran walking out from inside.
Tang Mingrui strode forward.
"My benefactor, are you guys out here buying things?"
Mo Jiuye did not hide anything and explained the matter of selling the long-eared rabbit doll to the embroidery room.
Tang Mingrui was obviously a little surprised.
"My benefactor, are you saying that the plush dolls that the rich ladies on the street are holding are made by you?"
Mo Jiuye looked at He Zhiran with a smile.
"My wife saw that everyone was short of money, so she figured out a way to make a little extra cash."
When it comes to making money, no one is more interested than Tang Mingrui.
He pointed to a teahouse not far away and said, "My benefactor, it's fate that we met on the street. Why don't we have some tea and reminisce about the past?"
Mo Jiuye subconsciously glanced at He Zhiran, and seeing that she had no objection, he readily agreed.
The three of them came to the teahouse together and found a seat by the window.
When the waiter brought the tea, Tang Mingrui poured it for them personally and politely gestured for them to come in.
"My benefactor and my lady, please have some tea."
Mo Jiuye picked up the teacup and said politely, "Mr. Tang, there's no need to keep mentioning the word 'benefactor'. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Mo."
Hearing this, Tang Mingrui stood up solemnly and bowed to the two of them: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite, Brother Mo, Sister Mo."
After some pleasantries, Tang Mingrui got down to business.
"Mrs. Mo, you know that the dolls you make are very rare, especially the material. I have never seen it before in all my years of business."
He Zhiran still used the same rhetoric.
"My husband and I were strolling around the area when we came across a foreigner selling this kind of fabric. It struck me that I wanted to use it to make dolls, and surprisingly, it became quite popular."
The Salt Lake area is an important waterway for Dashun, so it is not uncommon to see one or two foreigners occasionally.
Moreover, those foreigners did have some new gadgets in their hands. If it weren't for the language barrier and the inconvenience in communication, Tang Mingrui really wanted to do some business with them.
At this moment, he admired He Zhiran's vision and courage.
It was obvious that the materials used to make the dolls were not cheap. Now that they were exiled to the northwest with their crimes committed, they needed money right away. Yet, she actually dared to buy so much cloth to make the dolls.
If they lose, it will be a huge loss for these exiles.
