The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qing rode a horse, while Song Wei drove the car with Yang Qi and He's mother to the herbal medicine shop in Caoshi.

Yang Qi was in the carriage, but his mind kept recalling the first time he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at Jishi Bookstore. It turned out that the royal family was really able to cultivate that kind of natural noble aura. Yuan Ruiyuan just stood there, and he seemed to have a golden light on him, making everyone unable to take their eyes away and willing to salute.

Mother He had not entered Jishi Bookstore before, but was waiting at the door with Song Wei, so she had no idea that she had seen the Crown Prince at Jishi Bookstore. However, she felt a little strange when she saw the young lady in a daze as soon as she got on the car, and her face was inexplicably flushed, but she did not ask.

Song Wei had been driving for some time. Mother He pulled up the curtain and looked at the surrounding streets. She found that they had arrived at Caoshi, so she reminded Yang Qi, who had been daydreaming since getting in the car, "Miss, we're here."

He's mother's words interrupted Yang Qi's wild thoughts, "Oh, okay, let's go downstairs then."

As soon as he got off the carriage, Yang Qi noticed the current layout of the herbal medicine shop. The back wall that previously blocked the entrance had been removed, and the counter that was as tall as a person had also been removed.

The sun shone in, and the whole shop was bright, sweeping away the previous darkness. The shop was separated by a screen from the front and back. The front was where the medicine was picked up, and now there was a large medicine cabinet, in which different medicinal materials were placed. The back was where the medicine was boiled, with six medicine jars and a stove. These medicine jars and stoves were very new, and it was obvious that they had just been purchased.

Yang Qi nodded, not only satisfied with the speed of the shop's current decoration, but also agreeing with the shop's current layout.

Zong Yue had been waiting at the door when Yang Qi and Yang Qing arrived at the shop. After following Yang Qi to look at the layout of the entire herbal medicine shop, and watching Yang Qi nod slightly, Zong Yue knew that he had done a good job this time to satisfy the young lady.

Yang Qi pointed at the medicine jar in front of him and said, "Zong Yue, can you take care of this shop by yourself?"

Zong Yue paused and said, "Miss, we have just opened our shop and there are not many people coming. We can handle it."

Yang Qi nodded: "I won't interfere in these matters. If there is a suitable candidate, or if you are busy, you can make the decision on hiring someone else."

Zong Yue bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your trust, Miss."

Yang Qing had heard from Xu about Yang Qi buying a shop before, and she was relieved to have her own mother do the work. Seeing Yang Qi doing all these things in a proper manner, she felt a little amused, as if she saw a child wearing adult clothes.

After a quick glance, Yang Qing said to Yang Qi, "Since we're at Caoshi, I want to buy some things. Do you want to come with me now? Or do you want to shop around in the shops?"

When Yang Qi heard Yang Qing's words, he was delighted. Isn't this a pillow for you? He was still thinking about how to get his elder brother out of the way and arrange things with Zong Yue alone, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I want to take a closer look at the shop."

Yang Qing didn't think much about it. He just thought that Yang Qi was excited and concerned about opening a shop for the first time. He nodded and said, "I'll leave Song Wei here. Just tell him if you have anything." After that, Yang Qing strode out of the shop.

As soon as Yang Qing left, Zong Yue stepped forward and said to Yang Qi, "Miss, what should we name this shop?"

When He's mother and Song Wei heard Zong Yue's question, they looked at the shop and found that there was indeed no plaque.

Yang Qi had thought about this a long time ago. After hearing what Zong Yue said, he said without hesitation: "Let's call it Guangming Pharmacy."

Zong Yue thought to himself, Bright Pharmacy, my heart has its own bright moon, eternal reunion will never be missing. He pretended to be puzzled and said hesitantly: "I wonder what those words are?"

When Yang Qi heard Zong Yue's words, he knew what he meant, so he continued, "I'll write it down on paper now, and then you can ask the craftsmen to follow the paper. Now just follow me."

Then, Yang Qi turned around and said, "Mother He, you and Song Wei look after the shop first."

"Yes, Miss," He's mother and Song Wei responded in succession.

Yang Qi took Zong Yue into the house in the backyard, and Zong Yue asked, "I wonder if the young lady has any instructions."

Yang Qi sat in the main seat in the room, tapping the table with his hands, and said, "Zong Yue, do you know Xi Hu?"

Zong Yue didn't expect Yang Qi to ask this question. He thought for a moment and said, "I've been there several times when I was traveling with my master, because Xihu is also a distribution center for herbal medicines. It is rich in licorice, astragalus, scutellaria, red peony root, ephedra, siler, anemarrhena, codonopsis, gentiana, bupleurum, etc."

Yang Qi nodded but didn't respond.

Zong Yue continued, "I know several herbalists and medicine shop owners in Xihu who make a living by collecting herbs. The Second Madam's medicine shop does not purchase herbs from Xihu."

Zong Yue told him everything he knew about Xi Hu, and added: "I wonder what the young lady wants to do."

Xihu was able to successfully raise an army and kill General Huo in a short period of time. It certainly couldn't be done quietly. There must be a lot of undercurrents in the dark, and a lot of people had to be trained and a lot of medicinal materials collected. During the war, many medicinal material merchants made huge profits. Although the price would be lowered, the quantity was large!

Yang Qi looked at Zong Yue and said, "I want you to gain a firm foothold in Xihu within three years and establish a certain intelligence network."

Yang Qi's words shocked Zong Yue: "Miss, I wonder what is going to happen?"

Yang Qi interrupted Zong Yue and said, "I suspect my grandfather's death is related to Xihu." Yang Qi is not sure and does not know now, but the person who can sentence a royal physician to death in the harem must be a powerful person.

The Xi Hu incident was such a big deal, Yang Qi believed that the person who killed his grandfather must have made some moves on the Xi Hu incident. At worst, as long as he could find evidence of Xi Hu and present it to the Crown Prince Yuan Ruiyuan, he would be able to hold on to the thigh and face the person behind him. However, this idea was very risky. After all, he didn't know who the murderer was. If he followed the Crown Prince's party, his behavior would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
