At the banquet, Liu Yushi and Dong Mingshan had a great conversation and were laughing and chatting.
During the dinner, Liu Yushi mentioned Prince Yongning several times, and his words revealed his intention to pave the way for Dong Mingshan and introduce him to Prince Yongning.
However, whenever the topic touched upon this point, Dong Mingshan would lightly pass it by.
Dong Mingshan's avoidance left Liu Yushi helpless and resentful.
But Liu Yushi still did not give up, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to make Dong Mingshan change his mind.
Zhou Dongwei had received Liu Yushi's instructions in advance that the banquet tomorrow night was mainly to build up relations with the Dong family and at the same time to obtain the magic medicine from Qian Chunhua from yesterday.
Therefore, she restrained her arrogant attitude from her last time in the academy and showed unprecedented humility and enthusiasm.
During the meal, she was busy serving food to Guan Yueru and Qian Chunhua.
But this kind of Zhou Dongwei made Guan Yueru and Qian Chunhua feel inexplicably depressed. Instead, they felt that her previous domineering attitude made them more adaptable.
"Xingshan, eat more. Did you choke on the wine just now? If you can't drink, don't force yourself."
While Zhou Dongwei was taking good care of Qian Chunhua and Guan Yueru, she also did not forget to care about Qian Xingshan. Her actions made Qian Chunhua confused about what she was trying to do.
"Xingshan, how old are you?" Zhou Dongwei suddenly changed the subject and asked tentatively.
Qian Xingshan smiled awkwardly, "Seventeen, eighteen in lunar age."
"Have you talked about kissing?" Zhou Dongwei asked casually.
But her question set off alarm bells in Qian Chunhua's heart.
Only the silly boy Qian Xingshan shook his head honestly, "No."
Zhou Dongwei smiled slightly and did not continue the topic.
It would be great if there is no proposal for marriage. My own Liu Hongya is already eighteen years old, so she can be the perfect match for Qian Xingshan.
You get a betrothal gift and there is one less person to eat at home, so no matter how you look at it, it's all profit.
At Mrs. Dong’s birthday party yesterday, Zhou Dongwei saw the birthday gift sent by Qian Chunhua.
My sister’s family is wealthy, so my brother’s family should be well off too.
Moreover, Qian Xingshan seemed to have a good relationship with Dong Mingshan, so she would not suffer any loss in this marriage.
After three rounds of drinks, Liu Yushi saw that Dong Mingshan was unmoved and unwilling to make the acquaintance of Prince Yongning, so he had to give up for the time being.
His eyes turned and he looked at Qian Chunhua.
He did not forget that he had another mission.
"Madam Qian, thank you again for your help yesterday." Liu Yushi raised his glass again.
Qian Chunhua quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Lord Changshi. It's just a small favor."
After Liu Yushi finished drinking the wine in his glass, he spoke again, "Madam Qian, can you tell me where you bought the medicine yesterday?"
Fortunately, Guan Yueru reminded her in the morning.
"My husband bought it when he was away from home. I heard him mention that he bought it in Yizhou Prefecture." Qian Chunhua said calmly the explanation she had already prepared.
She was not lying. She was indeed in Chengdu before she traveled through time, and she bought it in Chengdu.
Liu Yushi was dumbfounded. Yizhou Prefecture was too far away and buying it was unrealistic.
Moreover, Madam Qian’s husband bought it before he passed away, but he is no longer with us, so there is no way to find out the exact location.
"Madam Qian, do you still have this medicine? Can you transfer it to me?" Liu Yushi thought for a moment and came up with this idea.
Seeing his good attitude, Qian Chunhua readily agreed. "Also, it can be transferred."
"How much silver?" Zhou Dongwei asked. What she cared about most was the silver.
This damn old woman is over a century old, but she is still afraid of death. Since it is said to be a miracle drug, it must be very expensive.
Qian Chunhua hesitated for a moment, remembering that Zhou Dongwei had extorted ten taels from him last time, so he decided to ask her for fifteen taels this time.
