"I know, as long as I live to see Dai Dai get married." Lu Shu lowered her eyebrows and looked desolate, not caring about her own life or death.
What they didn't know was that at the door of the house, Lu Gui was holding Wang Dai with one hand and covering her mouth with the other, preventing her from running out or making any sound.
At the stone table outside.
Wen Qingzhu didn't like her attitude very much: "What if Didi's husband dies?"
Lu Shu frowned and was about to refute, but seeing that Wen Qingzhu was an outsider, she suppressed her anger and said, "How can you curse Dai Dai's husband to death?"
"Is this what I say can come true? If my words are so effective, I will just say it when I encounter problems in the future, so why bother with so much effort!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at Lu Shu, her temperament was very different from what she thought before.
From what I learned from Zuo Bingning earlier, Lu Shu was a strong and powerful woman.
But now it seems that it is not the case at all!
Lu Shu couldn't speak for a long time. She clutched her palms, her eyes were red, and tears were almost falling.
Wen Qingzhu recalled her pulse condition just now. It was indeed very complicated and not easy to treat.
"Your situation is difficult to cure, but it depends on people. If you are not doing it for Dai Dai, you should always imagine yourself. You are Lu Chengen's daughter and Lu Chuan's sister!"
After a pause, she continued: "You may have your own difficulties. As an outsider, I don't know, but you are a sister, a daughter, a mother, and a wife. Every decision you make determines the joys and sorrows of many people." , I will try my best to help you with your injury, but you have to cooperate on your own."
Lu Shu still didn't raise her head, she just gritted her teeth and let her tears fall on the stone table.
Seeing her like this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't say much and stood up to leave.
After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, I don't care about Dai Dai and Lu Gui. They are still young. Besides... Lu Gui is a good boy. Don't forget that his parents are already here." If you die, in his heart, you are also his mother."
The last sentence made Lu Shu suddenly raise her head. She opened her mouth and said nothing for a long time. Finally, she buried her head and sobbed.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked towards the door of the room, and happened to see half of Lu Gui's head sticking out.
After waving to him and pointing at Lu Shu, she turned and left.
When walking out of the courtyard, Wen Qingzhu looked back.
Lu Gui and Wang Dai both came out. They stood beside Lu Shu, one on the left and the other on the right, trying their best to comfort Lu Shu.
Seeing how sensible they were, Wen Qingzhu left with peace of mind.
Arriving at the gate of Lu's house, Wen Qingzhu met Lu Tao who had returned.
She pointed outside: "Sir, come with me! There is something that you may need to see for yourself!"
Lu Tao was wearing men's clothing and had a faint medicinal scent.
Wen Qingzhu followed her to the street and found that there were many more people on the street today.
Judging from their clothes, at least half of them were people coming in from outside the city.
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys, and finally came to the entrance of a remote alley on the east side of the street.
What appeared in front of her was a drug store with a half-open door, and the smell of tobacco came from inside.
Lu Tao gave her a look before leading her in.
After walking in, Wen Qingzhu found that the room was dark and there were no windows.
But there were quite a few people inside the room, all queuing up in front of the counter.
A man wearing a gray-blue Duan Gua came over and asked with an attentive smile: "Mr. Ye, is this the distinguished guest you mentioned?"
"Exactly! His surname is Xue, and he is a businessman from Kangcheng." Lu Tao introduced him seriously with a straight face.
Wen Qingzhu nodded without saying a word, showing off his airs very well.
The corners of his eyebrows and eyes looked down on this place.
The waiter saw many people, and the nobility coming from Wen Qingzhu made him sure that she was no ordinary person, so he quickly led them into the house.
After walking only two steps, someone among the people who had been waiting in line shouted: "Hey, hey, hey! Why are you leading people to jump in line! You don't do this in business, do you?"
The boy who led them had a hint of impatience in his eyes, but when he raised his head, he was smiling: "Sir! These two people made an appointment before. What they want to buy is not a big sum, no." One, two, two, two, that’s why we went in to talk.”
After hearing his words, the dissatisfied crowd became quiet.
As Wen Qingzhu continued walking inside with the waiter, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the waiter looking after the customers at the counter was quietly sizing them up.
When we got to the inner room, the room became brighter and refreshments were readily available.
The waiter asked Wen Qingzhu to sit down and poured tea himself. At the same time, he asked: "Boss Xue is in the medicinal materials business?"
Wen Qingzhu noticed the temptation in his words and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I was originally in Ganzhou, but later the labor was cheaper in Kangcheng, and the government issued many preferential policies, as well as tax exemptions, so I temporarily went to Kangcheng. It’s just developing there now.”
"It turns out he is a fellow from Ganzhou!" The waiter was suddenly pleasantly surprised and said hello in Ganzhou dialect, "Is the boss's medicinal material business in Ganzhou still booming?"
Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows were light and his smile extended. He also answered in Ganzhou dialect: "It's not very good. After all, the Du family's pharmacy is there, and Prince Ning went there again. It's not very good, but there is only the Du family." It can surpass my home!”
Hearing that her Ganzhou dialect was not as pure as usual, the joy on the clerk's face increased and he quickly returned to Mandarin: "Then I will get a sample for you to see."
As soon as he left, Wen Qingzhu and Lu Tao looked at each other and then separated.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the clerk brought over a wooden box, which was only about the size of a palm, and opened it carefully.
A familiar smell suddenly overflowed from the box.
Wen Qingzhu reached out to pick up the dried leaves in the box, but the clerk quickly stopped him: "Boss, please wait, use this to hold it."
As he said this, he took out a pair of silver tweezers from nowhere, handed it to Wen Qingzhu and said, "This tobacco leaf is precious, the boss must be careful."
Wen Qingzhu took his tweezers, carefully picked out a gray-brown dry leaf from the wooden box, and rolled it upright into a roll. It looked a bit like a longer tea leaf.
After taking it to his nose and sniffing it, Wen Qingzhu immediately smelled a very familiar smell.
She looked down at the leaf and immediately recognized that it was a flying leaf grass that had gone through many processes!
During the cooking process, many other ingredients are added!
The other things added are a bit like poppies and poppy husks, and a bit like big tobacco leaves.
Both of these are things Wen Qingzhu has seen and used before, and his smell is very familiar to him.
It's very similar, but I'm sure it's not!
"Does Boss Xue recognize what this is?" The clerk couldn't help but ask her as he watched her concentrating on it.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, put the dried leaves back with tweezers, raised his head and explained: "It looks a bit like dried flying leaf grass, but the smell and color are not right. I dare to ask, brother, what is this?"
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was almost confirming his true identity, the clerk was shocked.
He has met no less than ten business bosses, but none of them has the ability of Wen Qingzhu!
The clerk suddenly felt respectful: "Boss Xue, to be honest, this is indeed a flying leaf grass, but our boss has made it into tobacco leaves through special processing. It can not only moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, but also refresh the mind. Recently, This tobacco leaf is very popular in Dezhou and Yunzhou!"
"Yunzhou and Dezhou?" Wen Qingzhu looked confused, but her heart became heavy. It seemed that things were worse than she thought.
Wen Qingzhu looked at this box of tobacco leaves and felt that it was not a good thing.
Flying leaf grass is very common, but its side effects cannot be eliminated no matter how processed it is.
unless-
The flying leaf clover is not the focus. The real focus is what is added during the preparation process.
The waiter thought Wen Qingzhu was interested and immediately started to brag: "That's not true! Although there are not many people in Yunzhou now, there are still many wealthy businessmen and nobles staying there! Not to mention Texas! This tobacco leaf is refreshing, even for the housekeeper. , down to the ordinary people, many people are rushing to buy it with a lot of money!"
"Is it really so magical?" Wen Qingzhu looked at the cigarette box, his eyes slightly focused.
Seeing that the time was right, the clerk turned around and brought a brand new cigarette stick. He took out a handful of dried leaves with tweezers, lit a fire, took out the smoke, and delivered it to Wen Qingzhu with his own hands. He even changed it flatteringly. Title: "Master, if you don't believe it, can you try it?"
Lu Tao stood aside and couldn't help but want to speak.
Wen Qingzhu saw the smoke dissipate, and the familiar smell made her feel uncomfortable again.
She raised her sleeves, covered her face and coughed twice.
The boy quickly took away the cigarette rod and said, "Have you never smoked before?"
Wen Qingzhu put down his hand and explained: "It's not that I haven't smoked it before, it's just that I don't like it very much. Snuff bottles are more popular in the capital, and this thing is not of high quality."
She looked at the cigarette rod with some contempt.
The guy was a little anxious and quickly came over with a cigarette stick: "You can try it, adults! It's really amazing!"
Wen Qingzhu insisted on refusing and turned to the wooden box: "I really don't like it. I thought the smell of cigarettes was really bad before, but after smelling it for a long time, it seems to be pretty good. You can't keep letting people smoke. In case there are really people who like arty things, I sneer at this thing, let alone the capital city, even the nobles in Luo City will look down upon it."
"Really?" The man didn't expect that there would be such a situation in the capital.
He was quite discerning and could tell that Wen Qingzhu was different. His natural noble aura made people involuntarily feel afraid to refute.
The guy was very surprised. He only felt this way towards his boss, but today he felt this way towards a businessman whom he met for the first time!
This made the clerk more and more certain that the Mr. Xue in front of him was either rich or noble!
Wen Qingzhu talked about a lot of the hobbies of the nobles in the capital, leaving the clerk speechless.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sniffed and said to the guy: "Some people like to smoke, but some people hate it extremely. I think this thing is a good thing. If it can be made into incense, it will be possible." It can be used by both men, women and children!”
"It can be used by men, women, old and young!" The guy only heard this sentence, and his whole body became excited.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and looked at the box of dried leaves: "However, the requirements for incense are very high. Burning the flying leaf grass directly is useful, but grinding it into powder will not work. This is a good business, can you do it here? ?”
"Yes! Of course I can!" The man didn't expect that Wen Qingzhu would give him such an excellent suggestion.
"Okay over there. If the incense is ready, please notify me as soon as possible. I'm willing to spend a lot of money to buy it." Wen Qingzhu stood up, looked at the wooden box, and felt confident.
