The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

The full moon celebration for their son in the spring was very lively, far exceeding the Zhao family's expectations. Fortunately, Zhao Minghua had made all the necessary preparations and nothing went wrong.

This was the first time I received praise from my whole family.

"The third brother is more mature this time; he even knows to hold a banquet."

Zhao Chengxun rarely praised this son, but now he looked at his third son with new respect. If he hadn't asked the chef to prepare the banquet according to the standard of a continuous banquet, the Zhao family would have become a laughing stock.

The lively atmosphere at the Zhao family's house was unexpected, and it took a skill to be able to handle it.

It gives you the feeling that the third child has really grown up and is capable of shouldering responsibilities.

The old father was very pleased.

"Father, Mother, Nuannuan has finished her postpartum confinement, and I want to go to the capital."

Zhao Chengxun... had just praised him for being steady, and now he's gone off-topic.

"Your second brother has only been in the capital for a short time. What are you going to the capital for?"

You should go together if you're going, right?

That's not right either. His wife was still in her postpartum period at that time. How could he just abandon her?
“I’m going to check on my second brother’s situation, and then see if there’s any business opportunity.” Zhao Minghua directly brought up Xia Guangcheng: “I talked to General Xia about doing business in the capital last time, and he invited me to come to the capital to take a look.”

“How can you do business with a brain like yours?” Madam Zhou did not believe her son could do business: “People in the capital are all rich and powerful. You might run into someone who is related to the emperor. How can you do business without some backing? I think you should just do some small business in Changzhou. That way, your family can take care of you.”

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles; even before he set off, Zhou Shi began to worry.

“We’re so far away, we wouldn’t know if something happened to you,” Zhou said. “You’ve never done business before. Doing business isn’t something you can just do as you please. Losing money is a minor issue; what we’re afraid of is that you don’t know the rules and get taken advantage of without even knowing why…”

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Chunnuan looked at Zhao Minghua.

This person is really good at acting. His image has always been that he's useless at everything except eating.

In the eyes of his parents and family, he was a spoiled brat.

If he suddenly says he wants to make a living now, no one will believe him.

It has absolutely no credibility, which is quite pathetic.

“It’s precisely because I don’t understand that I need to learn. I have a son now, and I’ll have to earn a family business for him in the future.” Zhao Minghua pretended not to see Chun Nuan’s gaze and continued to lie seriously: “I also have a powerful backer. General Xia personally promised to find him when I get to the capital.”

Honestly, by now, the "righteous merchants" whose names are officially approved by the Emperor in the capital should be here.

He has to go to the capital.

Otherwise, this thing would be sent to Changzhou, and the impact would be too great.

He never intended to make money by providing Xia Guangcheng with affordable grain, which offended several major grain merchants in Changzhou.

When Xia Guangcheng was doing these things in Changzhou, they were somewhat gloating.

They felt that Xia Guangcheng, who had come from afar, was oversimplifying things; the issue of affordable grain could only be resolved in three to five days at most.

No one expected that Xia Guangcheng held out for more than two months. After the start of autumn, when the people had harvested their crops and every household had surplus grain, the price of grain naturally stopped rising.

They hoarded grain in the first place to sell it at a high price, but when things got chaotic, they deliberately stopped selling it.

I thought that after a period of chaos, the price would increase several times over, but who knew that Xia Guangcheng would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

He defeated the rebels with a single move: he promoted the sale of grain at affordable prices.

He successfully persuaded the starving soldiers to become his inside man, and they opened the city gates to welcome him into the city.

His arrival disrupted the grain merchants' plans, leaving their grain unsold in the warehouses. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents, yet Xia Guangcheng dared not utter a sound when his livelihood was cut off, because he was a general with great power.

If we were to take this seriously, accusing you of profiting from the national crisis and disrupting public morale, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you were beheaded.

They could only swallow their broken teeth and blood, daring not to voice any objections.

However, if the words "righteous merchant" from the imperial family were hung on the Zhao family's residence, once the reason was found out, it would mean that they had offended a group of people.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Once his past actions are exposed, he will definitely face retaliation.

Therefore, the plaque could only be received in the capital. It would be a month or two before the news reached Changzhou. They wouldn't know what they had done in the capital, so it was much safer.

It must be said that Zhao Minghua had considered all possible scenarios.

He had to go to the capital.

"By the way, Nuannuan, ask your aunt if she wants to send something to Madam Xia. I can take it with me when I go to the capital this time."

"Okay, I'll ask my aunt later."

Chunnuan is going to write a letter to her eldest sister to tell her that she has given birth.

After becoming pregnant, she dared not come into contact with those medications, so she stopped making perfumes and essential oils.

I reckon my elder sister's Qingyan Pavilion has been eagerly awaiting its arrival for a long time.

Now that the postpartum period is over, it's time to get back to work.

I promised to develop new products every quarter, and I'm already quite behind on that.

Chunnuan wrote a letter to her elder sister, and also to her good friend Qiuyan.

At the same time, he didn't forget to stab her in the heart: It's time to start looking for a husband for yourself, otherwise your own children will be old enough to run errands, and you still won't have found the father of your children.

Qiu Yan met Zhao Minghua at the Xia residence.

Although the capital city is prosperous and has no shortage of good young men, Qiu Yan subconsciously felt that Zhao Minghua was a good match for Nuan Nuan the moment she first saw him.

Yeah, who says country bumpkins are no good?
Isn't he much better than that kid from the Zhang family?
Furthermore, the Zhang family initially rejected Chunnuan, thinking they could find a good match, but there were always various problems. In the end, they even managed to get the old lady's niece to take her place, which even led to a death.

Well, it's not that spring is bad, it's just that the Zhang family doesn't deserve it!

Although Zhao Minghua was from a small town, his manners and speech were more sophisticated than those of the young masters in the capital.

Qiu Yan was happy for Chun Nuan after meeting him once.

"Sister Yu'er, Nuan Nuan's husband is quite nice."

“Yes, that’s great. I heard he treats Nuannuan very well too.” Chunyu remembered: “By the way, Nuannuan’s husband is the third son in his family. He has an older brother who is already married, and a second brother who went to the capital to take the imperial examination and is not yet engaged.”

When Qiu Yan heard these words, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I hope I'm not being infatuated with a guy.
This is terrible! It seems she's really reached the age to get married; she's even having romantic thoughts in broad daylight.

"Yan'er."

"Sister Yu'er, please speak." "How about we go see Nuan Nuan's second uncle? If he passes the imperial examination, he should have a bright future. You see..." (End of Chapter)
