The new residence is a quiet courtyard with peach blossoms in full bloom, full of vitality.

The interior decoration is simple and warm. There are several simple and elegant landscape paintings hanging on the wall, all of which are signed by famous artists of the time.

The bedroom is on the left side of the door. The soft quilt is spread on the carved wooden bed, which looks very warm.

On the right is the study, with the four treasures of the study placed on the desk and many books neatly arranged on the bookshelf, including many rare copies that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Through the window lattice of the study, you can see a clear stream flowing through the courtyard. The gurgling sound of the water makes people feel peaceful and calm.

Although the yard is small, it is ingeniously laid out and the designer's care can be felt everywhere.

Xing Er couldn't help but say, "Young lady is amazing. She can manage such a small yard so beautifully!"

"Was this arranged by the eldest lady?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

"Yes." Xing'er nodded excitedly, "This place wasn't like this originally. The young lady hired a lot of craftsmen to renovate it according to her requirements a while ago. Our young lady is amazing!"

Gu Mingzhao looked around, his expression still indifferent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xing'er has been taking care of him for more than a month and has become accustomed to his taciturn nature.

If anyone else knew that the young lady had put so much thought and effort into him, they would be so touched. But he didn't even say a single nice word to the young lady!

However, Xing'er had worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years and knew that it was not her turn to worry about her master's affairs.

"Just stay here and take care of your injuries. Except for the inner courtyard, there are no restrictions on other places in the prime minister's mansion. From now on, you will be the young lady's teacher, and no one will dare to bully you anymore." After Xing'er gave the instructions, she went to pack her things.

Gu Mingzhao's white and slender hands stroked the soft quilt.

The texture is soft and smooth, and lying on it feels like sleeping on a cloud, a very different feeling.

There seemed to be a soothing herbal bag in the pillow, and he fell asleep quickly in the comfortable environment.

In his sleep, he vaguely remembered that when he was unconscious a few days ago, he seemed to hear Liao Qinglan's voice.

A soft and tender voice whispered in his ears, "Gu Mingzhao, you must get better soon."

Liao Qinglan did not go back directly, but asked Nanny Fang for the key to the warehouse.

She searched the medicinal materials area for a long time and picked out many precious and rare materials and took them back.

After returning home, she weighed the various herbs one by one and carefully confirmed the quantities.

After confirmation, put the medicinal materials into the stone mortar and grind them slowly with a stone pestle.

After all the herbs were ground into fine powder, she poured the powder into a bowl, added the dew and honey just collected in the morning, and began to stir.

Her movements were very skillful, and the herbs quickly became sticky under her treatment.

Liao Qinglan cleaned her hands with clean water and began to rub the pills.

Before long, smooth and delicate pills were neatly arranged together, all of the same size, round and cute.

She placed the pills in order on a clean bamboo plate and placed it under the window to dry.

Only then did he have some free time and leaned back in the armchair to take a rest.

"Miss, when did you learn how to make pills?" Jinxiu felt that the young lady had changed so much in recent times that she even suspected that she was possessed by an unclean thing.

Liao Qinglan and Jinxiu grew up together. She noticed that the girl looked at her as if she were a ghost, so she tapped her forehead lightly: "Do you think I'm possessed by a ghost?"

Jinxiu touched her head and said with a silly smile: "I was a little skeptical at first, but now I believe you are my lady!"

"Why?" Liao Qinglan was a little curious.

"Only Miss can tell what I'm thinking at a glance, and only Miss you like to flick my head." Jinxiu answered seriously.

Liao Qinglan smiled meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true. What if I'm really a ghost?"

Jinxiu thought for a while and said, "I feel like you are my young lady, but you are a bit like a young lady who has experienced a lot and I haven't seen her for many years."

Liao Qinglan had to admit that Jinxiu might be the person who knew her best in the world.

Without Jinxiu knowing, her life had already ended.

"So which one do you think is better?"

"Of course it's better now!" Jinxiu answered without hesitation, "Miss used to know how to stay with the Second Prince, and nothing else matters. You are doing well now, and I hope you will always be like this!"

Liao Qinglan was a little dazed.

She also felt that she was good the way she was now, but the price was too high.

"By the way, what are the effects of the pills that the young lady made? Is the recipe okay?" Jinxiu had never heard that the young lady had studied pharmacology, and was not very confident that she would eat anything carelessly.

"The prescription was given to me by a miracle doctor I met outside. The pills can relax the muscles and tendons. I'll give them to Gu Mingzhao after they're dried."

Jinxiu saw with her own eyes how precious the materials of these pills were, and hesitated, "Such precious medicine, are we going to give all of it to Master Gu?"

"Hmm... That's right. He can't finish all this in a short time." Liao Qinglan pondered for a moment, then said, "Prepare the carriage. I'll go out and look for my second cousin. He's doing business. Let him try to see if this medicine can be sold."

Liao Qinglan went to the location Cheng Yuan had left for him.

It was a spice shop. When Liao Qinglan stepped into the store, she saw a bustling scene.

The variety of goods is complete, including incense, sachets, ointments, as well as exquisite incense burners and incense utensils.

The store was doing very good business, and there were many young ladies from aristocratic families whom Liao Qinglan was familiar with.

The waiter had a warm smile on his face as he explained the effects of the spices one by one.

Liao Qinglan found the shopkeeper: "Is your boss here?"

The shopkeeper walked out of the counter quickly and bowed deeply: "Miss, here we are. Our boss is taking inventory in the backyard. I will take you to him now."

"Do you know me?" Liao Qinglan was sure that no matter in her past life or this life, she had never been to Cheng Yuan's shop or seen the shopkeeper.

"Of course I know you." The shopkeeper said respectfully, "The young master showed us your portrait and said that you are the second owner of the shop. Everyone in our shop knows you."

She didn't expect Cheng Yuan to be so particular. Even though she said all the recipes were given away, Cheng Yuan still planned to give her a share of the profits.

"Take me to him."

When Liao Qinglan saw Cheng Yuan, he was looking through the accounts in a serious manner, and from time to time he was explaining something to the servant beside him.

Seeing Liao Qinglan coming over, he smiled with his eyes curved: "When I heard the magpie calling early this morning, I knew something good was going to happen. It turns out that my God of Wealth has come."

"Don't be so poor." Liao Qinglan also smiled. "My cousin is really talented in business. In just one month, he has already achieved great success."

"Of course, I'm not good at studying or practicing martial arts, but I've always been very familiar with abacus since I was a child! I should have sent you this month's earnings a long time ago, but I never had the time. Now that you're here, you can take it back yourself."

Cheng Yuan took out a small box from the cabinet, which was filled with silver bills, at least five thousand taels.

Liao Qinglan raised an eyebrow: "So many?"

Cheng Yuan said proudly: "Of course not, your recipe is really good, it smells good, and it also has the concept of health preservation. The dignitaries in the capital are scrambling to buy it!"

"I have something better, do you want it?" Liao Qinglan said, holding her chin and looking at Cheng Yuan.
