The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 177 Gu'an Hall

Lu Chengjing held his daughter's chubby little hand and patiently accompanied her as they walked around the yard.

With someone holding their hand, the little baby isn't afraid of falling, and their steps have become bigger, each step taken with extra care.

A wolf and a child squatted down beside them, watching, their heads following the movements.

A gentle evening breeze rustled the leaves.

The last rays of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, and the cicadas' chirping gradually faded away.

The courtyard was lit up, casting two shadows, one large and one small.

The little shadow let go of the big shadow's hand and moved forward, further and further away.

Yuan Yuan spread her arms to maintain her balance and walked steadily step by step. Finally, she smiled and jumped into Shang Wan's arms, which were outstretched.

"Mommy!" With a bright smile and eyes that curved into crescents, the little baby raised her tiny hand and patted her chest. "I'm awesome!"

"Yes, my good boy is the best!" Shang Wan looked up at Lu Chengjing, who was also looking this way, and smiled.

·
The next morning, Shang Wan was half asleep when she suddenly felt a weight on her body.

She suddenly opened her eyes, only to be met with a pair of big, round eyes.

"Mommy!" Little Yuanyuan clung to her mother, her little feet dangling up and down, her voice soft and sweet, "Let's go play!"

The little baby couldn't wait to go to the city.

Shang Wan turned her head to look at the faint light coming through the window, and yawned. She reached out and pinched the baby's chubby cheek, her voice lazy, "No rush, let's go after breakfast."

A large hand reached out and scooped up the baby. Lu Chengjing, who was dressed neatly, said, "I'll take her out. You can sleep a little longer."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Shang Wan sat up. She couldn't sleep soundly no matter what, so she decided to get up and load the things she needed to take into town onto the oxcart.

The cool well water splashed on my face, taking away the last trace of drowsiness.

"Good morning, sister!" Xiao Huan came over with a basin to fetch water for washing up.

Shang Wan removed the wet cloth from her face, turned to look at her, and said, "Is there anything you want to buy? I'll buy it for you too."

Xiao Huan thought for a moment and said, "We're almost out of salt at home, so we can buy two jin. We can also buy a bolt of cotton cloth. Cotton absorbs sweat, so we can make little clothes for Yuan Yuan and Anian to prevent them from getting rashes from sweating too much in the heat."

Shang Wan took notes of everything and asked, "Do you prefer to wear ready-made clothes or buy fabric and make them yourself?"

Xiao Huan paused for a moment before saying, "Make it yourself."

"Then I'll buy two more bolts of cloth. Don't just think about us; make yourself some new clothes too." Shang Wan asked, "What pattern do you like?"

Xiao Huan: "Either is fine."

Shang Wan was very dissatisfied with this answer. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You come into the city with me and choose for yourself."

Xiao Huan hesitated, "But there's no one to cook at home, the clothes haven't been washed, and the medicinal herbs..."

"It's just one or two meals, let them cook for themselves. They can wash their clothes when they get back, we can wash them together quickly. Shi Tou can take care of the medicinal herbs, and if all else fails, there's your brother-in-law."

Shang Wan interrupted Xiao Huan, looking at her helplessly, "You're always so busy, you should think about yourself and give yourself a rest. You're the most honest one in our family, you never slack off."

Xiao Huan pursed her lips, "But..."

"No buts." Shang Wan made the final decision. "Come with me. You can keep an eye on Yuanyuan while I sell the medicinal herbs."

Hearing this, Xiao Huan stopped objecting and nodded in agreement.

We set off after breakfast. Xiao Huan is a thoughtful person, so she made lunch while making breakfast, so we only needed to reheat it at noon.

The group going into the city changed from two adults and one child to two adults and two children. Under Chu Xu's persistent and cute behavior, Shang Wan also brought him along.

Whether you take care of one kid or two, it's all the same. Let them come if they want. Lu Chengjing and Shi Tou, left behind to watch the house: "..."

They want to go too!

·
With three more people on the oxcart, it was much more lively than if there were only one person.

The two children were as excited as birds released from their cages, and they kept talking on the oxcart.

Xiao Huan took out the dried meat for the two children to chew on, and finally there was some peace and quiet.

After queuing up and paying the city entrance fee, the oxcart entered the city. Shang Wan turned to the three people in the cart and said, "Let's go to the clinic first, sell the cliff ginger, and then go buy some other things."

"it is good."

Shang Wan had already chosen a clinic—Gu'an Hall.

The old doctor Sun who was invited to the court for consultation was the resident doctor of Gu'an Hall. If the clinic wanted to buy medicinal materials, it would definitely have to have the doctor identify them. If you had an acquaintance, the chances of selling them would be higher.

Gu'an Hall is located in the west of the city. It is a two-story building with a backyard. The facade is not large, but the decoration is very grand. You can see it at a glance as soon as you turn into this street.

Shang stopped the oxcart and looked inside.

It was still early, and besides the waiter and two unfamiliar doctors, there were only three patients in Gu'an Hall.

Seeing an oxcart parked at the door, the waiter came out to greet her and politely asked, "Madam, are you here to see a doctor?"

"I'm not here for medical treatment, I'm here to see your manager." Shang Wan jumped off the oxcart and asked, "Is the manager here?"

Seeing that Shang Wan was a stranger and immediately wanted to see the manager, the waiter was puzzled and asked, "What do you need the manager for?"

Shang Wan said, "I have a batch of excellent cliff ginger here, and it would be a shame to sell it so easily. The doctors at Gu'an Hall are highly skilled and compassionate, so they can surely make the best use of it. I wonder if Gu'an Hall would consider buying it?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback; he never expected Shang Wan to be there to sell medicinal herbs.

Only then did he raise his eyes to take a closer look at Shang Wan.

Shang Wan wore a light autumn-colored long dress today, her hair was simply tied up in a bun, and a sandalwood hairpin was inserted diagonally.

Her face was smooth and fair without any makeup, with a rosy complexion. She had delicate eyebrows and red lips, and her almond-shaped eyes, when slightly curved, seemed to hold a gentle smile.

In the summer, with light and thin clothing and a belt tied around the waist, her slender figure is even more prominent.

The woman was beautiful, but it seemed that none of the pharmacies in the city had her.

The shop assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, "The medicinal herbs used in our clinic are delivered by pharmacies we have regular partners with."

This is a polite way of declining.

Shang Wan knew things wouldn't be that easy, but her smile remained unchanged as she asked again, "Is the manager not here?"

The waiter nodded and said truthfully, "The manager left the city yesterday and won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

What a coincidence.

Shang Wan secretly observed the waiter's expression. These words did not seem like an excuse; the manager of Gu'an Hall should really be absent.

She glanced at the two unfamiliar doctors in Gu'an Hall and asked the waiter, "I have a past connection with Mr. Sun. Is he here?"

The waiter could tell what Shang Wan was planning to do, and a hint of hesitation crossed his face.

Shang Wan said, "Good medicinal herbs are rare. I'm just looking around anyway, and I won't force you to buy or sell. Whether the herbs are good or bad, Gu'an Hall won't lose out."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the waiter's hesitation lessened, and he said, "The old gentleman is resting in the backyard. I'll ask him to come out now."

"If I can meet with the HR person, half the battle is won," Shang Wan said with a smile. "Thank you for your trouble."

The shop assistant turned and went into Gu'an Hall. Shang Wan jumped onto the oxcart and drove it to the side so as not to block the door of the clinic and disturb their business.
