Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

All five were copper containers filled with jewels and jade. On one of the copper cups, nine pieces of gorgeous silk were placed.

Shen Zhao didn't have time to take a closer look at these treasures, and quickly found a scroll of silk letter.

When I unfolded it, I saw that the handwriting was not that of the eldest brother.

Shen Zhao had an idea in mind and read the contents of the letter carefully.

The whole article was full of praises, and only at the end did he make a request, hoping that the gods would bestow magical medicine to cure the bedridden Empress Dowager.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Shen Zhao pinched his chin and thought for a while, then bought a stack of exquisite stationery from the mall, which was printed with dark patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects, and then picked up a pen to write down his request.

She needed to understand the symptoms of the empress dowager's illness before she could prescribe medicine for her. Otherwise, she would die from the medicine and her eldest brother would be in big trouble.

In order to behave like a real god, this time Shen Zhao put the letter into a beautiful colored glass box and sent it back.

"The community god really showed up!"

The minister who had been waiting by the altar shouted and hurriedly presented the glass box that appeared out of thin air to the emperor.

The emperor had the box opened and a piece of scented and printed paper was taken out.

After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, he quickly asked someone to bring the imperial physician.

In this way, Shen Zhao soon received the imperial physician's diagnosis of the empress dowager.

However, she didn't understand many medical terms, so she summoned Xiaoqing: "Let me show you a diagnosis. Can you help me analyze the condition?"

This time Xiaoqing readily agreed. After scanning the words on the silk, she immediately gave some advice:

[This 60-year-old man probably has hyperlipidemia, accompanied by hypertension and hyperglycemia, which is why he has headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus. It is recommended that blood sugar and blood lipids be controlled first, and blood pressure will naturally drop slowly. Xiaoqing recommends the latest developed XXX drug, which will work better when taken in combination with XXXXX.]

Shen Zhao quickly placed an order for the two drugs, marked the dosage and frequency of use, put them in a glass box again, and then put them out.

Then she put five bronze artifacts on the shelves in the shop, the smallest one was priced at 500,000, and the largest bronze tripod was priced at 2 million.

As for jewelry, gold, silk, etc., the year of production was specially noted and all were marked with the highest price.

Although treasures are wonderful, you cannot keep any of them for yourself, otherwise you will bring unnecessary trouble.

So I can only exchange them all for money, and then buy the items I need from the mall.

Shen Zhao glanced at his watch, which showed it was one o'clock in the afternoon, so he opened the door and went out.

Now three large houses have been built in the inn, and I arranged them to be temporary warehouses, where I occasionally store some things.

Just because the weather was getting warmer, one or two groups of Hu merchants passed by on the official road every day. They would also stop at the inn for a short time to eat a bowl of glutinous rice wine or buy some flowered cloth.

When he came across good goods, such as spices, furs, and jewelry, Mr. Dong would exchange his own goods with the foreign merchants.

The business started like this and showed signs of getting better and better.

So Shen Heng also came to help, stayed in the inn, and took care of a few ewes.

In the blink of an eye, March is here.

Father Shen Ang’s talisman of title was finally delivered. It was an iron waist badge with Shen Ang’s name and title written on it.

At the same time, the village also received an amnesty decree from the imperial court.

It was said that the Queen Mother had recovered from her illness, and the Emperor held a 60th birthday party for her and issued a general amnesty. When Shen Zhao heard the news, he was completely paralyzed.

What happened? Why was the amnesty announced a year earlier?
"Ah Zhao, the Xue family is preparing to return to the capital, and they are applying for documents from the village." Zhang Shanyue whispered to her daughter, "And the Qin family, Qin Yang has also applied, but because her son is still outside the Great Wall, she can't leave for a while."

"What about Gao? Is she planning to go too?" Shen Zhao asked.

Zhang Shanyue: "That's natural. After all, the Qin family didn't divorce her, so how could they not take her along?"

The woman's belly was visibly pregnant, and looked to be five or six months pregnant. She hung out among the neighbors all day, sometimes visiting Xue's house, and even sitting in Xue Xiaolang's room, not knowing how to avoid suspicion at all.

Shen Zhao chuckled: "Qin Yi's mother must be very upset. After all, she was counting on her daughter-in-law's money to get her son back from the Western Regions Protectorate."

"Of course." Zhang Shanyue also laughed: "Today I saw Gao go to Xue's house again, and she was chatting with Xue Xiaolang. I wonder what they were doing?"

Shen Zhao asked curiously, "Isn't Mrs. Xue very strict with her son? Why did she allow Xue Yi to associate with Mrs. Gao?"

"Who knows? Maybe she thinks that her son won't suffer any loss." Zhang Shanyue opened the robe in her hand and gestured to her daughter: "This fabric has an elegant color. It will definitely look good on you."

Shen Zhao took the new robe and put it on, then walked up to Chen Zhijun and asked, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Chen Zhijun stood up and straightened her collar, and said softly: "Not bad, Zhao, you have fair skin, and you look good in anything."

Shen Zhao smiled and suddenly asked, "What month was your sister-in-law's birthday?"

"April 22nd." Chen Zhijun answered truthfully.

Shen Zhao: "It's April for me too, but it's the first day of April."

"It's just as well that the weather will be warm next month, so I'll throw a coming-of-age party for you two." Zhang Shanyue said as he checked his daughter's clothes, marking any places that were too big or too thin and would modify them later.

Chen Zhijun smiled and nodded: "Thank you, mother."

"Why are you being polite? You are also a member of our family. When you have a baby, this family will be handed over to you to take care of." Zhang Shanyue said.

Shen Zhao agreed: "Yes, I will spend more time at the inn in the future, and I will rely on my sister-in-law to take care of everything at home."

"It should be." Chen Zhijun said quickly: "It's just that I'm clumsy and can't do many things."

Shen Zhao then realized that his sister-in-law might not be able to do the housework, and quickly said to his mother: "Mother, how about we hire a helper? I think Song Qiao is a good girl and can work quickly, why not hire her to help with some housework."

"This..." Zhang Shanyue hesitated, "If I hire a servant, I have to pay double the tax every year."

"Double is not much. I will go talk to Song Qiao later." Shen Zhao took off his new robe and prepared to go out to find Song Qiao.

Chen Zhijun quickly pulled the nun back and whispered, "Actually, it's not necessary. I can learn to do it."

Shen Zhao patted her arm and comforted her: "If it weren't for you, I would have wanted to hire someone to work at home before."

There is too much work to do at home, including washing clothes, cooking, pounding rice, fetching water and farming, and the heavy work has always been done by my mother and second brother. Now that my second brother has gone to live at the inn, I can't let my mother fetch water, right?

Therefore, it is not bad to find someone to share the housework. You are not short of money, so why bother to work so hard like a workhorse?
Chen Zhijun still felt a little guilty and said awkwardly, "A Zhao, I really can."

Seeing her so shy and nervous, Shen Zhao couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Song Qiao'er also helped our family with work before, and now we just formally invite her to come and work."

"Is that so?" Chen Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that the nun would be as weird as her third sister, looking down on her for being stupid and knowing nothing. (End of this chapter)
