Chapter 545 Worth a Thousand Gold
As the two chatted and laughed, Madam Lin said, "By the way, I came to the pharmacy this time because they got a batch of rare medicinal herbs. There's the fairy grass you needed last time, as well as some other rare and precious medicinal herbs. If you need anything, you can come and pick them out."
Last time, they reaped the benefits of stockpiling medicine. Because the fairy herbs stockpiled by the Lin family helped the court solve the Baihualou case and find the headquarters of Baihualou. Afterwards, the court rewarded them generously, which made the Lin family's business bigger and bigger.
Mrs. Lin became more cautious and increased her purchases of rare medicinal materials.
This time I got back a lot of good stuff.
Jiang Lianzhu's mind moved, "Oh, I'm looking for a medicinal ingredient for ice worms. I wonder if you have any..."
"I'm not sure either. I'll take you to see them and you can choose. There are more than ten items in total."
Arriving at the innermost small room of the warehouse, where storage and security were most stringent, Mrs. Lin unlocked the door and opened the layers of drawers.
He took out more than a dozen precious boxes.
Just by looking at the box, you can tell that what's inside is valuable.
Only Mrs. Lin dared to present all these valuable things to Jiang Lianzhu one by one.
Any one of them is worth a fortune.
Once these rare medicinal herbs were taken out, the whole house was filled with fragrance and shone brilliantly. Although no one knew the purpose of each of them, they all looked quite good just by looking at their appearance.
Jiang Lianzhu actually didn't hold much hope. She scanned the boxes one by one and her gaze stopped at the last box.
The box is very small, only the size of a palm.
Made of wood inlaid with sapphire.
The things inside are smaller.
It was only the size of a fingernail, a transparent, crystal-clear, round little bug, and it gave off a chilling feeling. The moment Jiang Lianzhu opened the box, she felt a chill running through her heart. When the box was fully opened, the temperature in the room immediately dropped by several degrees.
It is the hottest time of the day in the afternoon, and these crystal-clear little insects make people feel like they have entered the early spring chill.
Jiang Lianzhu was extremely excited.
"Mrs. Lin, you really have everything here! You even have ice worms!!"
According to ancient medical records, ice worms are generally found in extremely cold places.
There is no such place in Da'an Kingdom, it only exists in other countries, and it can only appear on cliffs. It usually grows near the thousand-year-old snow lotus. The thousand-year-old snow lotus is valuable, and this kind of ice worm is even more valuable because it is more difficult to catch. It is crystal clear and the same color as ice and snow, making it difficult to be discovered.
Absorbing the essence of snow lotus has better effects than snow lotus itself.
Mrs. Lin was also surprised. "Is this really the herb you're looking for? I don't know. I just asked people to collect all kinds of rare herbs. As long as they are available, we will take them all. Anyway, our Lin family is not short of money, so we will take whatever we can get. As long as we have them..."
"Yes, this is the herb I'm looking for. I plan to treat old man Zhan Wang, and I'm missing this most important herb."
Madam Lin said sternly, "Okay, take it. It's for the treatment of King Zhan, and our Lin Family Pharmacy will give it away for free!"
The foundation of Da'an State, the country's legendary hero, and a rare medicinal ingredient, the Lin family shop can still afford to give them away.
Without a peaceful and prosperous era, how could the Lin family conduct business safely?
"Then I won't be polite. Take it back first. I will explain to the War King that it was a gift from your Lin Family Pharmacy. I think it's a good idea to come here today."
This detour is worth it.
After watching the excitement at the princess's mansion, I encountered such an unexpected surprise on the way back.
It was really a big profit.
Jiang Lianzhu didn't even look at the other medicinal herbs. She just wrote a list and gave it to the clerk at the Lin's pharmacy, asking them to send it to the Jiang's clinic according to the list.
After thanking Mrs. Lin again and again, Jiang Lianzhu left.
On the way back, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but feel excited and told Liao Jiu about the unexpected gains from the Lin family pharmacy. Liao Jiu was also surprised.
Nanbao said it best, "Oh, Mommy can cure Lao Yu! This is also Lao Yu's good luck."
Isn't it just a matter of luck?
"Mother, when can you treat Lao Yu?"
"Mom will go back and prepare some medicine to try again. By the time he gets sick again, it will be almost cured."
Liao Jiu said, "Then we need to go to his house and explain clearly, say hello first, and ask if he is willing to treat him..."
"That's for sure."
Even with ice worms, it is still extremely risky.
It is not certain that the cold poison in his body can be cured.
There is also the possibility of failure. Once he fails, the cold poison in his body will be out of control and will turn him into an ice sculpture, making him lose his life.
***
War King's Villa.
The old fisherman was sitting alone by the pond fishing. There was still a small stool next to him, but it was empty.
When Nanbao was not around, the old fisherman did not put any bait on his hook, and it just hung quietly above the water.
He looked serene, and I didn't know what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, someone came up from behind, somewhat timidly, not daring to come closer.
"Godfather."
The old fisherman turned around and said, "Well, you're here?"
His tone and expression were the same as usual, as if he knew nothing.
Dalangjun is tall and mighty, but in front of Laoyu, he is like a docile lamb.
"Foster father, my son attended the Duke's birthday banquet today. He got drunk and proposed to the eldest princess..."
A smile appeared on the old fisherman's face. "Oh, really? It's a happy event!"
Neither surprised nor unexpected.
The smile is as warm as the spring breeze.
The eldest son suddenly knelt down and said, "Foster father, I didn't inform you in advance. It's my fault. I was drunk and got carried away. I have always admired the eldest princess and I really want to marry her. It's not just because of her status as a princess..."
Lao Yu remained calm, "The eldest princess is fine. Don't worry, I support you. It's a perfect match. When you get married in the future, I will give you a big gift."
The eldest son knelt upright and said, "Foster father..."
The old fisherman still smiled as if in the spring breeze. "What? Why aren't you getting up yet? What are you kneeling for?"
The eldest son spoke up, "Foster father, I don't want to leave you. I've been following you to fight the enemy since I was little. For so many years, I'm a member of the Zhan Wang Mansion in life and a ghost of the Zhan Wang Mansion in death. Can you please show some mercy..."
The old fisherman then put away his smile and turned cold.
Even though he is thin, his eyes are as strong as a king.
"You still remember that you have been with me since you were little, and the rules I set have never changed. Your marriage means leaving my Zhan Wang Mansion. Don't worry, over the years, even if you have no merits, you have worked hard. I will help you. Becoming a prince consort in the future would not be bad either. You can avoid following us through such dangerous fighting and killing, and enjoy the blessings of power and comfort."
The eldest son burst into tears, "My son... is unfilial and I feel sorry for my adoptive father."
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Your choice is correct. I don't blame you. Everyone has their own aspirations."
