Chapter 387: The Children of the Quan Family are Truly Amazi
ng to Ye Wen, "My family is also worried about Qingmei. They're afraid she'll go astray. Their intentions are good after all." 。"Now that all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, then... then..."It was my father who said, after we get married, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, the child must have the surname Bai." 。Because there is only one of us in the White family from my generation onwards, and my father also has no brothers, if my children cannot have the surname White, the White family will be extinct. The genealogy will not be passed down. 。When Bai Chuxiao said this, she stared at Xiao Jue, her eyes narrowed. She seemed to be nervous, but there was also a hint of threat in her gaze. 。She even said, “Night Fourth Miss also said that whether a child takes the father's surname or the mother's surname is normal. No one has stipulated that a child must take the father's surname. There is no such provision in the laws of Northern Qi.” 。Besides, the unique skill of childbirth has always been firmly in our women's hands. We give birth to children through our own abilities and hard work, why should they take their father's surnameXiao Jue found that the topic was getting more and more off-topic. Just now he said it would be fine if one child had the surname Bai, but now it seemed like all the children should have the surname Bai Shouldn't he also fight for himself"What about this, no matter how many children we have, half will have the surname Bai and half will have the surname Xiao, okay" Bai Chuxiao was very satisfied. "Okay, that's settled." 。" Night Wenyan had absolutely no idea that the two disciples she had taken in for Feng Yu Heng were already starting to think about their lifelong affairs. " 。She was sitting in the carriage returning to the city, her mind replaying Shi Ruoxun's words from the clinic. 。Shi Ruoyun told her that the clinic's reputation was now many times greater than before. Not only did people from outside Lin'an City come here for treatment, but people from inside the city would also specially travel here. Even people from neighboring cities came to seek treatment. 。This led to an increasing demand for medicinal herbs, and supply began to fall short. 。Shi Wei Li had already been trying to find a solution, even going to neighboring cities to order more supplies, but it was still not enough to meet the demands of Lin'an. 。The meaning of Shi Ru Xun is that instead of seeking help from others, it's better to think of ways to solve problems from the root. 。Medicines that take many years to cultivate are definitely not worth considering, but for medicinal herbs that can be harvested in a year or two, it might be worthwhile to consider cultivating them yourself. Even some high-yield medicinal herbs can be considered for transplanting. 。When transplanting, extreme care must be taken and skillful farmers are needed to ensure the maximum survival rate of the medicinal herbs. 。Another type of medicinal herb is like planting crops. If you plant a small amount, it's not helpful. You need to plant on a large scale to truly solve the problem of medicinal herb shortages, so the location also needs to be carefully chosen. 。She started calculating the mountains in her hand. She originally planned to use them all for planting flowers, but now that there was this matter of medicinal herbs, it wouldn't be impossible to set aside two mountains for planting medicine. 。Besides, the Three Palaces still have many mountaintops under their control, so they can't afford to buy more from him. 。She told Zhu'er, "You remember this clearly. Right now we have three things to do." 。The first thing is to find someone for the jewelry shop, you can handle that. Because when Di Long turned over, you were always with me in the outer city, and many people know you. 。You can just tell them that the Fourth Miss of Ye Family is opening a jewelry shop, and ask any young women or daughters-in-law who want to work to apply as counter clerks. 。“ Yes, miss, don't worry. I will definitely get this done.” 。And the selected person must also be reliable, honest, and preferably fashionable, so that they can help us sell jewelry. 。Yes, and you also have to be good at talking, too quiet is not good, and being too unattractive is also not good. 。In short, Miss, rest assured that I have everything under control. 。There's a matter we need to decide on, Miss. Should we hire these women as laborers or bind them with contracts Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's hire them as laborers! They are commoners, not slaves. We can't force them into servitude just because we need their help." 。Even helpers have their own considerations. Go back and ask the Lin'an Prefecture to send someone to help with the management. 。"The second thing was also at the jewelry store, but not at the counter, but in the backyard that needed a handyman. " 。This matter should be left to Xiang Dong. He should select a woman skilled in cooking and several maidservants and young attendants for doing the rough work. 。These people must be enslaved and bought from human traffickers. They must be bound by a death contract. 。"Remember"
The child nodded again, "Remember."
"Tell Xiangdong Jie when you get home!"
"Third thing! Those hills outside the city, split two of them to grow medicinal herbs "
It is not only necessary to have people who can cultivate wasteland, but also those who are skilled in planting. In addition, there should be people who transport food and drink to the mountains, and later on, people who take care of seedlings, watch over the mountains, and protect them. 。This requires a lot of farmers to help, both men and women. 。In addition, the people guarding the mountain are not necessarily farmers. Outsiders from the city who want to work in Yaoshan can also be recruited, and even better if they can learn farming from the farmers. 。These people also count as laborers. Tell Grandma again, and have her take care of this matter. 。Spring is here, we should start as soon as possible. 。She had never done such things as cultivating medicinal herbs or transplanting them, but it didn't sound like an easy task. 。Especially now that planting techniques are not advanced, transplanting is even easier to fail. 。In addition, because it is a mountain-clearing planting, the area is too large, covering too much land. Even if more people are sent to guard the mountain, it is impossible to keep watch over the entire mountain thoroughly. 。Even in the present day, with advanced surveillance equipment, it is impossible to achieve foolproof protection without any blind spots. 。Therefore, she had to set an extra layer of restrictions after selecting the medicinal mountains, firmly protecting both within. 。One could even set up formations within a prohibition zone, create a patch of soil, and infuse it with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate crops that would normally take many years to grow, such as ginseng or lingzhi mushrooms. 。But this field of medicine must be kept strictly secret, and absolutely no one from Yaoshan should know about it. 。Zhui'er diligently wrote down the three things her young mistress had instructed her, and Ye Wenyan fell into deep thought once more. 。This time, I was thinking about what Nan Tian said about the Four Palaces. 。The children of the powerful are truly remarkable. The Third Prince is the largest landowner in Beiqi, while the Fourth Prince spent nearly a decade as a hostage but quietly became the richest man in Beiqi. 。And he was better at hiding than the Third Prince. I'm afraid even before the late Emperor passed away, he wouldn't have known that his fourth son had become so accomplished. 。Ying Peng told her about this through Ying Nantian, she guessed that this matter was actually Quan Qinghua's idea, but at the same time she couldn't understand why Quan Qinghua would do this Their relationship wasn't already at a freezing point They almost fought every time they met, why did they suddenly want to help Ye Wenyan rubbed her icy cold face. She shouldn't have accepted this favor, but if what the Ying family said was true, Quan Qinghua's business spanned the entire Beiqi, then it wouldn't hurt to talk about it. 。To gather the five pulses, she had to do something. She couldn't just stay in Lin'an waiting, even if she couldn't leave for now, at least she had to let things with her mark spread as much as possible. 。As for the future catastrophe, Shi Lifeng was right. If the catastrophe is the only way to break the shackles of heaven and earth, then the human beings on the north bank of Wunan Sea have reason to make sacrifices for it. 。Compared to people only living to sixty years old for generations, compared to watching loved ones die without illness, it's better to make a desperate gamble. Even if you die, at least you can give your descendants a normal lifespan. 。When she returned to the inner city, it was already pitch black. She sent Zhuier back to the General's Mansion, but instead of going home herself, she prepared to take a carriage directly to the palace. There were some things she still needed to tell Shi Liyuan, such as the fact that the Xiao family owed one million taels of silver notes. 。Just as the carriage hadn't even left the front gate, Ye Qingmei came chasing out from the mansion, followed by Ye Chu Lian. 。She lifted the car curtain and asked, "Is there something wrong, elder sister" Ye Qingmei nodded, "Yes, but it's not a big deal. Big brother asked me to keep an eye on when you're coming back before he left. He said that the medical hall is almost set up over there, and the staff have been arranged." 。I sent two young men from the manor and also sent two maidservants to be with me. 。Mother also sent a large maid from the house to help. Now, just wait for the medicinal wine on Wu Meimei's side to be opened, and the clinic can open. 。But the clinic hasn't been named yet, Big Brother means for you to come up with a name. 。" I gave you the clinic, that's your and your brother's business. 。I don't care how you distribute your profits, nor do I care what name you give the clinic. 。Then I will have doctors from the countryside rotate their practice here. You can pay them in silver according to their fees. Also, for Five Sister's medicinal wine, you should discuss the payment with her yourselves. As for everything else, I definitely won't interfere. 。" Night Qingmei reached out and pinched her cheek. It didn't feel very good. She was too thin, and her skin was cold. 。Then she said to Ye Wen, "Even the doctor wouldn't say to take good care of your own body. " 。What's the solar term now, but my body is still this cold 。If you don't take care of yourself, I'll have to let mother handle it! Alright, I knew you wouldn't want to get involved in this. I've already told my brother, and he insists that I let you know. 。"
Ye Qingmei let the maid beside her quickly fetch a hand warmer, and then said: "Don't worry, no matter if it's the doctor or Wu Meimei over there, we have arrangements. "
The doctor's consultation fee we do not take a single penny, in addition, we will pay a sum of money for each visit each month. 。How much is this silver worth I'll go talk to Shi girl at the out-of-town medical hall myself later. 。As for Little Five, we've already made arrangements. We'll split the profits from the medicinal wine sold, two to eight. The clinic will get two shares, and Little Five will get eight. 。Knowing you're busy, I'll try not to bother you with these trivial matters in the future. 。But, Yan'er, this clinic wouldn't be able to open without you. It wouldn't feel right for me and my brother if we didn't give you something. 。" If you keep talking like that, I'm not going to be friends with any of you anymore. " 。"I'm not short on money, so what use would your silver be to me But there is one thing I must make clear to you both—"
She grew serious. "That's the Night-Lining! The clinic will definitely be very profitable, so you and your brother will have a lot of money in the future. But this money you can spend yourselves, you can spend it on your mother, or any person you like. It is absolutely forbidden to let it fall into Night-Lining's hands." 。"...including her mother's side, how much she has given to Ye Lianmian, I don't care. Just don't use the money you earn at the clinic to subsidize her..." 。"I hope the elder sister can watch over this for me!"d to express concern, at the entrance of the main hall, only Xiao Jue and Bai Chuxiao were left facing each other in silence. 。Yunchen supported Lian Shi as they walked upwards, asking as they went, "...
