Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Gu Yeshi initially thought Gu Kaiyuan was a bit out of touch with reality, but now that he felt such banquets could be held more often, he no longer cared that the other party was just a commoner and started to treat him like a brother.

Gu Kaiyuan naturally accepted all offers. Besides making a fortune, he also wanted to develop his network. Since these offers were being offered to him, he would be useless if he didn't take them.

After seeing off these reluctant people, Gu Kaiyuan carried the wooden box to the backyard.

He wanted to show off, but forgot that Bai Suihe had already gone to the herbal medicine shop.

"Didn't Madam come back for lunch today?" Gu Kaiyuan asked, somewhat puzzled. It was already past lunchtime, and Bai Suihe needed to rest at noon, not to mention she was taking care of Gu Xingyang, that little lazybones.

“Reporting to Master,” Song He’s wife, Song Liu, replied, “Madam did not return at noon. The shop was a bit busy, but lunch has already been sent over.”

"So busy?" Gu Kaiyuan murmured. If he remembered correctly, the pharmacy had only been open for a short time and had already hired a manager and employees.

"Yes, there were a lot of people today. We originally wanted to bring Miss back, but she didn't want to and kept crying."

Fearing that her master would blame her, Madam Song quickly added.

"It's alright," Gu Kaiyuan knew that although Gu Xingyang was young, she was very thoughtful. He wondered why such a young child didn't sleep well and always liked to linger in crowded places.

After thinking about it, I was still worried, so I decided to go and check it out.

Just as he was about to leave, another guest arrived at the door, so he had no choice but to stay.

Bai Suihe was busy working alongside everyone. The collected medicinal herbs had to be sorted out and processed according to different herbs, so there was no time to waste.

Today happened to be market day, and there were quite a few people coming to town to sell medicinal herbs. Free medical consultation stalls were set up at the entrances, and long queues had already formed.

They had previously announced that although they didn't sell medicinal herbs, they could provide free medical consultations. Hearing this, people from all around came during the market day.

The doctors who came to buy medicinal herbs today did not step forward to help, but instead quietly watched from the sidelines, openly learning from the doctors.

The county town is so big, and the local people all know about several doctors. Seeing them all humbly learning from each other, everyone became even more confident, and the line grew longer and longer.

Bai Suihe sat in front, with Granny Pang following behind. After each consultation, Granny Pang would take over to confirm the diagnosis and point out any shortcomings. This rare opportunity for on-site teaching made the doctors even more reluctant to leave.

They even wanted to take Bai Suihe's place and accumulate experience, but unfortunately, this was someone else's territory, so they could only quietly follow behind.

Bai Suihe kept her mental energy focused, and her speed gradually slowed down.

However, the accuracy rate was also getting higher and higher, so Granny Pang made room for another doctor to sit there and help take the pulse.

As for Gu Xingyang, she was quietly held by Zisu, her little eyes darting around.

Zisu and Fucen were ordered to protect their young lady, so they dared not move around.

However, with so many people around, the smell was inevitably unpleasant. Gu Xingyang soon found it unbearable and began to ask Bai Suihe for help, "Mother, the smell is too strong, I need to go to the backyard."

There's no way around it; she's still a baby. If she dares to open her mouth, she'll be treated like a monster.

Seeing the noisy scene, Bai Suihe told Zisu and the others to go to the backyard. There was a small courtyard behind the pharmacy, where medicinal herbs were drying, and the aroma of the herbs was better than outside.

When Gu Kaiyuan arrived, he saw this scene: the long queue stretched as far as the eye could see. At this rate, Bai Suihe's body would not be able to handle it.

"Madam, why don't you ask one of the other doctors to help?" So many doctors are waiting in line for consultations; there's no need for Bai Suihe to go through all that trouble. Bai Suihe declined his offer, "It's alright, I can manage, and I'll learn faster this way."

With Granny Pang backing her up, Bai Suihe became much bolder, and her accuracy rate also increased. She was enjoying this achievement and was reluctant to give it up.

Just then, Gu Kaiyuan came over, so we asked him to take the child back. After all, the noisy scene would probably affect Gu Xingyang's sleep, no matter how good it was.

Anyway, the city gates will be closing soon, and these people will leave before they close. They can hold on a little longer.

Bai Suihe's free clinic also attracted Xu Zitian from the local government office. Upon learning what was going on, Xu Zitian couldn't help but praise, "If everyone had this kind of benevolence, how could the Rong Dynasty not prosper?"

Wu Xingshun said, "The Gu family's income is quite good today. Since they've already provided free medical consultations, why don't they help them get all the medicine?"

Xu Zitian didn't turn around to look at him. "A person should be content; only by being content can one be happy."

Wu Xingshun puffed out his cheeks, "You don't know what's good for you. Who am I doing all this for?"
"If the Gu family also donates medicine, it would be a major political achievement for you."

"That's a different matter. Look at all these people, do you know how much silver it would take to distribute the medicine?"

"But Gu Kaiyuan made a lot of money today. The price he bought at was very low that day, and this time it has almost doubled, and some even more. You can't even pick up money this easily. Taking some out to do good deeds can be considered as helping him accumulate good karma."

Xu Zitian then turned to look at him, "Is this your own idea?"

Wu Xingshun raised his chest. "Of course! Didn't the master say before that what is taken from the people should be used for the people? He's been squeezing the people's hard-earned money..."

"Stop talking. If you can't speak, then shut up."

That's not what the teacher meant.

Besides, where did he get this money from the people?
In business, the key is to buy low and sell high; that's the way to run a business.

It's their skill that they can earn that much money.

At that time, Lingnan was in such chaos, yet they still made large-scale purchases of other people's properties, which shows that they had good foresight and earned their money through their own abilities.

By releasing so many farmlands and lands, they were actually stabilizing Lingnan and helping us resolve a major threat.

We should be grateful and keep a closer eye on things concerning the Gu family in the future.

Wu Xingshun: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could he have helped us?"

"Then think carefully about what the purpose of those prominent families who have come to Lingnan recently is?"

"Of course, it's about buying property; we're optimistic about the development of the Lingnan region."

"Isn't it obvious? What will happen if they can't buy the property?"

"What will happen?" Wu Xingshun was also thinking hard. He could either seize it by force or give up Lingnan.

"Have you figured it out yet?" To develop, in addition to population and stability, a large amount of capital injection is also needed.

Wu Xingshun remained somewhat stubborn, "Even so, it's impossible to give them credit, since they earned the money." (End of Chapter)
