Chapter 360: Finally Entering the City
"No, that's not happening." Mr. Dou, who was awakened from his senses, waved his hands hurriedly, and together with Meixiang, he came to the backpack that his father-in-law had opened. There were indeed rare herbs in it, roughly speaking, there were as many as three or four kinds.
Different from common herbs, these have not been dried and processed, they are very fresh and well preserved, with fresh soil still on the roots.
It's really rare to see people selling herbs this time.
"Why is it so fresh?" Meixiang carefully picked up one of the plants, put it to the tip of her nose, and sniffed it gently.
The old man rubbed his rough hands helplessly and explained carefully: "To be honest, young lady, these herbs will take five or six days to fully mature. I spent a lot of effort to grow them successfully. If my grandson hadn't suddenly fallen ill and needed to see a doctor, I really wouldn't be willing to dig them out and sell them."
"The soil is kept so that if the buyer wants to plant them a few more days, they can be guaranteed to survive."
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and his expression became gloomy.
Mr. Dou and Meixiang looked at each other. They also loved and grew herbs, so they could understand the old man's feelings. These herbs were like their own children, and they had carefully cared for them since they were young. Picking them when they were immature was not only a pity, but also a pain.
"How much silver do you want to sell these herbs for? We'll buy them." Meixiang winked at Xiaosan again to indicate that she was ready to pay. She would definitely not let go of any good herbs she came across.
The father-in-law hesitated and didn't speak. Meixiang and Mr. Dou were shocked. Could it be that he was not here to sell it? Or did he not want to sell it to them?
"Are you not going to sell it to us or are you not going to sell it to us?" Meixiang did not hide her doubts and directly asked the question in her mind.
"No, no, no," now it was the father-in-law's turn to be anxious. He waved his hands repeatedly, looked at Mr. Dou and Meixiang, opened his mouth, and looked embarrassed, not knowing how to start.
Looking at the red-faced 50-year-old man, it was obvious that he had encountered some problems that were difficult for him to talk about. Although the economy of some states in Haoyue has improved in recent years under the impetus of Meixiang, and the people have solved the problem of food and clothing, there are still many people struggling in the quagmire of life.
Thinking of this, Mr. Dou suddenly had an epiphany and remembered that his father-in-law had mentioned many times before that his grandson was sick and needed to see a doctor. At that time, his whole mind was on the backpack and he didn't think much about it.
Now seeing the father-in-law's hesitation, it was probably because of this matter. So I gave him a way out, "Father-in-law, do you have any unspeakable secrets? But you can tell me, Miss is kind-hearted, we will do our best to help you if we can."
Hearing this, the old father-in-law, who had been lowering his head slightly, not knowing how to start, immediately raised his head, his tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed, and a gleam of light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, "Sir, is what you said true? I don't want any money for this herbal medicine, I just hope you can go and see my little grandson. He has been sick for several days and has not gotten better."
"Hahaha, I thought it was a big deal," Mr. Dou laughed when he saw his father-in-law finally said it, and turned to look at the beautiful woman and Meixiang, "Madam, Miss, can I go over? It's just right for me to go and see if his family has any other herbs. It would be best if I can help them."
"Thank you for your trouble, sir. If you come back late, we can meet at the post station." Meixiang nodded in agreement. Not to mention that her father-in-law had given her the herbs, even if he came to them with nothing in his hands, as a doctor she would not stand idly by.
"If they really have the right herbs, send a message to Luo Sheng tomorrow morning and ask him to make a special trip to meet them." After thinking for a moment, Mei Xiang went on to explain to her father-in-law and the people who were watching the excitement, "I'm sure someone has heard of the Liuzhou Prefecture caravan. If the old man's herbs are of suitable quality and in the right quantity, I can help you make the connection."
This really shocked my father-in-law. He had heard of that caravan a long time ago, but had never found any opportunity for cooperation. He didn't expect to meet a noble person today. Not only did he find a doctor for his grandson's illness, but if he could also get in touch with the caravan, then the family would no longer have to worry about their future life.
With a thud, he knelt down in front of Meixiang and Mr. Dou, and kowtowed three times without saying a word. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already filled with tears, his forehead was also red, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Old man, you don't have to be happy too soon. Everything needs to be reviewed by Mr. Dou before it can be decided."
"Of course, of course. Then please come with me."
Afterwards, the old man got on Mr. Dou's carriage and took them to his home. Situ Yidong naturally ordered two secret guards to follow him.
However, after the father-in-law's operation, Meixiang and his group became more eye-catching. The smart people have already taken the initiative to sell their goods.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. Seeing that more and more people came and there was a tendency to affect traffic, Mei Ying had to organize people to stop the people's behavior. They said that they would not accept anything except herbs and it was useless to surround them. Only then was the situation gradually under control.
"Is it her?" At a corner of the city gate, two ordinary-looking and ordinary-dressed men in their thirties were staring quietly in the direction of Meixiang and her group and whispering to confirm something.
"They look very similar in temperament and age. Look at the gentlemen surrounding her, she must be the one."
After the words fell, the two looked at each other, looked again in the direction of Meixiang, and quickly disappeared in the crowd of people entering the city.
After so many ups and downs in the long river of history, how many people can truly put aside fame, wealth, power and status, and regard money as dirt?
As Meixiang returned to the capital and entered the ruling circle of the Haoyue Dynasty, the dark tide that had been dormant for several years surged again. When the tide receded, you could see who was swimming naked, and whether it was a human or a ghost hiding under the water would be clear at a glance, and there was no place to patrol.
Half an hour later, Meixiang and her group finally arrived at the gate of the city following the queue. Liu Xiaomei was a few years younger than Xiaosan and had never been out of Liuzhou Prefecture. At this time, she behaved like a girl of her age. Nanny Chen asked her, Xiaoshi and Xiaoshiyi to take the children to watch the show they had been longing for.
The Sun family also had cloth-related industries in Fuzhou. As the owner, Sun Yu had to take a look when he arrived here, so he took his child to the Sun family cloth shop.
Fuzhou's Harvest Festival was just as lively as the rumors said. The summer crops had been harvested and the winter crops had been planted. After the biggest autumn harvest of the year, many people were idle at home.
