The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Cheng Yuan, who had already tasted the sweetness, lit up his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, yes, my cousin must have good stuff there."

Liao Qinglan took out the medicine bottle and handed it to him: "This is a pill that relaxes muscles and activates blood circulation. It can dispel wind and cold. It is especially useful for rheumatism and bone injuries. I will give you the pills and the prescription. See if you can sell it."

Cheng Yuan glanced at the prescription. Even though he was born in the Rongguo Mansion and was used to seeing gold and silver treasures, he was still shocked: "These are all rare medicinal materials. The cost of refining is quite high!"

Liao Qinglan did not deny it: "So I will give you fifteen pills first, cousin, you can try it and then decide whether to do it or not."

Cheng Yuan had already calculated the approximate cost of a pill. Fifteen pills were worth at least five thousand taels of silver.

After some consideration, Cheng Yuan took out another five thousand taels of silver from the cabinet and handed it to her.

"This deal is not a small one. You take the money first. If there is any loss, it's my fault." Whether as a man or as a cousin, Cheng Yuan would never take Liao Qinglan's things for free.

Liao Qinglan did not refuse. She believed that her pills would make Cheng Yuan rich in the future, and it would not matter whether he got the money early or late.

"My prescription is very precious. You must find a confidant to do this." Liao Qinglan was worried and reminded him.

"I promise it won't leak out." Cheng Yuan said.

"If someone comes to my house and says that the recipe for the pills belongs to him, you can give him this token and ask him to find me at the Prime Minister's Mansion." She threw a waist badge of the Prime Minister's Mansion to Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan didn't understand, but nodded and agreed.

Liao Qinglan explained the method of taking the pills and the precautions, then left the shop.

"Miss, why are you interested in doing business?" Jinxiu's eyes were full of confusion.

The cousin's idleness is already enough of a headache for Madam. If the young lady also starts doing business, Madam will be extremely worried.

“I have no interest in doing business.”

Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't understand: "Then why did you let the young master sell the pills you worked so hard to make all day?"

"This prescription was given to me by an old senior. I have always wanted to repay him, but I don't know where he is. When my cousin becomes famous, the senior will find out and come to me."

Repaying the debt was one reason, but another reason she wanted to find the miracle doctor was that she wanted him to help Gu Mingzhao get his body in good shape.

*

Cheng Yuan is very good at doing business, and his muscle-relaxing and collateral-activating medicine has created quite a stir among the powerful and wealthy.

Civil servants in the capital city work at their desks all year round, causing sore joints.

Not to mention the military generals, they all have some old injuries on their bodies, and the pain is always unbearable in rainy weather.

This Shujin Huoluo Powder has just been launched on the market and everyone who has tried it says it is good.

Some people say that after taking this medicine, old injuries that have plagued them for years will never recur.

Some people even say that this medicine can not only relax muscles and tendons, but also replenish qi and nourish the skin, making the complexion much more rosy.

For a time, high-ranking officials and nobles vied with each other to pursue it.

After dinner, every family in Beijing would talk about Shujin Huoluo San.

However, I heard that the production process of this pill is extremely complicated. It takes ten days to make fifty pills. One pill is worth five hundred taels. Each person is limited to buying ten pills. Purchase must be made with a name card, and each mansion can only buy one pill once.

Even though the price is high, there are still countless people willing to spend money on it. The muscle-relaxing and arteriosclerotic powder is in great demand in the capital.

Many people even go around asking around to see who the owner of a drug store is, just to use their connections to jump the queue and buy the drug.

Liao Qinglan went back to the Rongguo Mansion with her mother to visit her grandmother.

After lunch, my grandmother wanted to rest, and the women in the family sat together to drink tea and appreciate the flowers.

My aunt, Mrs. Han, talked about the strange things that happened in the house recently.

"You all know about the Shujin Huoluo Powder, right?" Mrs. Han started the conversation.

Seeing everyone nod, she continued, "I wanted to buy some to see if it could cure the old injury on the Duke's arm, but I couldn't buy any!"

"I've also heard that this medicine is extremely valuable." This medicine was so popular that Cheng Yunxiang had also heard of it.

"A few days ago, a man who claimed to be the owner of a medicine store came to my house and gave me a whole bottle of Shujin Huoluo Powder, at least thirty pills!"

"Could it be fake?" Cheng Yunxiang was a little worried.

"I also suspected it was fake. How could I dare not eat anything that was put into my mouth. But later I went to the store specifically and the person who came was actually the shopkeeper!" Mrs. Han still finds it very strange when she thinks about it now.

"Could he be a liar?" Cheng Yunxiang asked.

"Yes, mother, how much did he charge you?" Mrs. Han's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, agreed with Cheng Yunxiang's idea.

"It's not a penny! That's why this is very strange!"

Looking at them discussing what was going on, Liao Qinglan smiled secretly in her heart.

My second cousin was quite tight-lipped and even kept it a secret from his family.

He didn't take the initiative to tell his family that the pharmacy was his, and Liao Qinglan wouldn't say anything.

A hasty knock on the door interrupted everyone's discussion.

A servant came running over: "Madam, Old Master Qin has arrived at our house."

Old Grand Tutor Qin is the emperor's uncle and the empress dowager's elder brother. Although he has retired due to old age, he still holds an important position in the court.

However, the Rongguo Mansion and the Qin Mansion rarely interact with each other, so no one knew why he came here in person.

"Didn't you tell him that the Duke was not at home?" Mrs. Han thought he came on official business.

"I did, but Old Master Qin said that it doesn't matter if the Duke is not here, and it's the same for you, Madam."

Mrs. Han thought to herself that since Old Master Qin came in person, there must be something important.

In any case, this heavyweight cannot be neglected.

"Okay, please ask Old Master Qin to stay in the living room for a while, I'll be there right away." Mrs. Han instructed the servant, then tidied her clothes and went to the living room.

In the living room, Old Master Qin was sipping tea calmly. When he saw Madam Han coming, he nodded slightly.

Madam Han bowed and said respectfully, "I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person. I wonder what advice you have for me this time?"

Old Master Qin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Madam Han, there is no need to be so polite. I came here to ask for a favor. I heard that your second son recently developed a good medicine called 'Shujin Huoluo San', which has extraordinary effects, so I came to your house to buy it."

Mrs. Han was shocked.

There had been no news of Cheng Yuan for a long time, and the Duke ordered everyone not to care about him or look for him.

The old Grand Tutor has connections in the capital, so what he said cannot be wrong.

Could it be that Cheng Yuan has really made a name for himself out there?

Old Master Qin thought she was unwilling, so he said slowly: "To be honest, this medicine is requested for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is old and often feels stiff in her hands and feet. I am asking for medicine for the Queen Mother."

When Mrs. Han heard this, she was even more shocked.

If we could take this opportunity to offer medicine to the Queen Mother, it would undoubtedly be a great honor for the Rongguo Mansion.

However, she was not sure whether the medicine was made by her son, and she did not dare to easily present the bottle of medicine of unknown origin to the Queen Mother.

She pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "If the Empress Dowager needs it, we will do our best. When my son comes home, I will discuss it with him and give the Grand Tutor a satisfactory answer."

Old Master Qin smiled with satisfaction: "Madam Han is very understanding and righteous. I am very grateful. If you can cure the Queen Mother, the Rongguo Mansion will be rewarded."

Madam Han respectfully saw off Old Master Qin, her heart surging with anxiety, and she hurried back to the backyard.
