Famous Doctor's Cool Girl 058, Victory (10,000 more, no cultivation of literature, thank you)

  Medicinal liquor is generally made by soaking in high-concentration liquor for seven days, then diluted with water to a low degree of drinking, with a unique taste and therapeutic effect.

  According to Su Lianyi's established treatment direction - strengthening the heart and diuresis, controlling heart rate, treating primary diseases, in the process of making medicinal wine, Lianyi visited famous doctors in the county town, and according to her desired effect, she selected several traditional Chinese medicines to soak together, such as Plantago asiatica, White Poria, Rehmannia glutinosa, etc.

  Datou's right hand was bandaged, and for the past few days, Sulian had not allowed him to work in the fields. Fortunately, there wasn't much work to be done in the fields at this time, just occasional watering, fertilizing, and pest control. Apart from that, Lian also took good care of him in his daily life, you could say she was meticulous about every detail.

  Early in the morning, Big Tiger washed his face with his left hand. Lin Wei held a towel beside him and handed over the clean and fragrant towel as soon as he finished washing. As soon as Big Tiger wiped his face, he saw Lin Wei holding a wooden comb on the side, staring at him fiercely, wanting to comb his hair for him.

  In ancient times, men had long hair. Da Hu could barely comb his with one hand, but it was difficult to put his hair up on his head. After Da Hu repeatedly declined and failed, Lian Yi took over the task of styling Da Hu's hair.

  Datou's hair was very black and hard, unlike the softness of a woman's hair. His hair shone like iron threads, and Liangliang was not good at styling his hair, so he had to use all his strength to tie it up, and sometimes he would accidentally comb it crooked.

  Ripples without conscience burst into loud laughter, Big Tiger felt very helpless.

  Eat meals, try to make some dishes that can be eaten with a spoon, cut vegetables and meat into small pieces, less oil and salt are good for wound healing, and do not allow him to drink alcohol.

  Seven days later, Da Hu's right hand bandage was finally removed, and the rippling scorpion wine had also been successfully brewed.

  He ladled out some wine into a bowl and then added some cold boiled water that had been prepared earlier. "Dah Hu, you try the first sip."

  The big tiger beside him looked at the slightly yellowish wine and hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, taking the bowl to drink.

  The cool liquor goes down the throat, a taste that has never been experienced before. The faint scent of wine lingers, paired with the refreshing sweetness of Chinese medicine. If savored carefully, there is a subtle fragrance in the mouth that is hard to detect.

  "It tastes good." said Da Hu. He wasn't a man who didn't understand etiquette, the reason he didn't show any modesty was because this scorpion is poisonous, and using a poisonous scorpion to make wine, it's likely that the wine contains poison.

  He didn't want to see Su Lianying poisoned, and he couldn't even explain the reason to himself.

  "Have another strong one." Lianyi smiled, pouring the original wine undiluted into Datou's bowl. "I've heard that martial artists train in the three periods of nine days in winter and three periods of ten days in summer. I suppose you do too. After sweating on a summer day, you don't wait for the sweat to dry before taking a cold shower, and after sweating in winter, you don't mind the severe cold and take off your clothes to cool down. Both will harm your body, and even if it doesn't happen immediately, it's still a slow process."

  "En." Datou didn't believe it, but still listened patiently, pouring the wine and drinking it down. The flavor was too light just now, but now he could finally appreciate its subtlety.

  The big tiger drank, and the ripples broke the sky with a murmur of health knowledge. "Occasional soreness in the forearms and calves, these are chronic diseases, which will develop into severe pain when the weather changes suddenly, as the bone ends slowly become deformed and eventually die, the worst result is amputation."

  "Cough...cough..." Datou still had a mouthful that hadn't gone down, and when he heard Lianyi's words, he almost choked, his face turning pale. "Is it really that serious?"

  Lianyi nodded seriously, "Of course, not to mention far away, just talking about our Suzhai Village, there are many elderly people with such symptoms, all of which were caused by careless farming in their youth."

  Dahu's heart was in a flurry because his left calf often inexplicably ached. Thinking that this medicinal wine could cure the illness, he gulped down the last mouthful in one go.

  She smiled knowingly, even if he didn't say it, she knew what he was thinking. "If you still want to drink, we'll catch scorpions later and I'll make some for you again, but this wine can only be tasted lightly and not drunk in excess, as it contains medicine tailored to Mr. Li's illness, which is not suitable for you."

  "En." Datou nodded and put down his bowl. "What are you going to do next?"

  "Some things, if handled directly, would likely be awkward and stiff, making people resistant. Approaching it from a different angle, taking a detour, is also a good method."

  Although Da Hu didn't say anything, he knew that Su Lianhui must have had another idea. Her lips curled up slightly, and he looked at her with curiosity, waiting to see what would happen next.

  ……

  Dongning City is a big city, located in the central region of Luan Guo, with flat terrain, distinct seasons, large population, prosperous economy and good order. Although it doesn't reach the point where doors are not closed at night, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to Dongning City having a good governor, Tao Ze-yun.

  Tao Zeyun, the prefect of Dongning City, may not be considered a completely clean official, but he has his own principles in handling affairs, being upright and impartial. He is appreciated by his superiors and loved by the common people, and even has some connections in the capital city.

  At this time, the imperial capital was in turmoil, with the princes fighting for the throne. Although they had not yet openly clashed, undercurrents were surging. And it was said that Tao Zheyun was of the Crown Prince's faction, but of course, this was just rumor and had not been explicitly stated - all just idle chatter.

  The Tao family and the Li family are relatives, and now that the Li family has become the richest in Yuewang County, they can also connect with the Ye family, the richest in Beijing, all thanks to Tao Zeyuan's introduction, which shows the close relationship between Tao Zeyuan and Mr. Li Fu'an of the Li Mansion.

  The Tao Mansion is located in the west of Dongning City, with a large house that is half old and not new, just like its owner, Tao Zeyuan, who is very low-key. After entering the main gate, passing through the gate hall to the backyard, there is a winding path leading to a secluded place, which is the guest courtyard of the Tao Mansion, and also the place where Mr. Li Fu'an, the old master of the Li Mansion, recuperates from his illness.

  Although the Tao family had good news, Mr. Li's health did not improve due to this joyful event. On the contrary, he became weaker and weaker, with severe edema in his lower limbs. The servants helped him massage it all the time, and the doctor kept prescribing diuretic medicine, but there was no improvement. Moreover, due to difficulty breathing, he had not slept well on the bed for two days.

  "Al...most..." Mr. Li's voice was weak and breathless, half leaning on the bed, his eyes sunken, and his lips purple.

  "Yes, sir." The servant named Daquan was around 40 years old and looked like he had been serving Master Li for his whole life. He was also forcing a smile on his face at the moment, as he was the one who knew Master Li's physical condition best.

  "Let's... go home..." Mr. Li paused for a few moments, took a few deep breaths, and finally managed to say a simple sentence. "Missing home."

  An elderly man actually said such childish words, not only did it not bring laughter, but on the contrary, Dàquán's whole body couldn't help but tremble with sobs, wanting to cry, yet not wanting to in front of Lǎoyé. "Lǎoyé, what's the hurry? Táo Dàren will be back from the yamen soon, and today he even made an appointment with you to play chess, we can't stand him up."

  Mr. Li is not a child, his heart is as clear as a mirror, how can he not know that every morning, old friends rush to see him, only after they have survived the night will they feel at ease going to the government office, and before leaving, they must make an appointment for chess, in order to give him something to look forward to, so that he can hold on for another day.

  To have such close friends is enough for this life.

  "No...can't trouble him...let's go back..." Mr. Li had made up his mind, he was afraid that his days were numbered, how could he bring bad luck to someone else's family?

  "Th...th..." Quan Kang didn't know what to do.

  Outside the door, a servant softly called out to Quan's housekeeper. Quan slightly nodded and instructed the maids beside him to carefully attend to her before slowly turning around and exiting the room.

  "Is there anything?" Quan Kang asked, though his face was weary with sorrow, the majesty of the housekeeper was still awe-inspiring.

  "It's like this, I just heard that there's a old man in the Tao estate's kitchen who had an illness similar to Master's. His whole body was swollen and he couldn't breathe. Later, his hometown sent him some medicinal wine, after drinking it for three days, the swelling in his legs reduced by half and now he can work again."

  Quan Kang was stunned, his eyes wide open, "Is this really true?"

  "It's true," the servant nodded repeatedly, "the old man is in the kitchen right now, you can go and ask the housekeeper to see for yourself."

  Quan Kang was like grasping a life-saving straw, "Alright, lead the way, hurry up."

  "Yes." With that, the servant led Quan Kang to the rear kitchen of the Tao residence. Indeed, an old man was at work, throwing split firewood into a large stove and fanning it with a large feather fan.

  "Old Wei, come out." The servant called out the old man.

  The old man came out and saw Quan Kang's majestic and dignified appearance, somewhat stunned. "Yes, sir, I don't know what you want with me?"

  "Come ask you, did you really drink a kind of medicinal liquor and then the swelling on your body disappeared?" Quan Kang hastily opened his mouth.

  Old Wei nodded, "As you said, yes, I don't know where that old lady got the immortal wine from, but it cured my illness."

  Quan Kang was shocked, "That wine, is there any left? How much, I'll buy it all at a high price!"

  Old Wei shook his head, "It's all gone. The wine was only a small jug to begin with. The old lady told me to drink it over seven days, but the wine was really good and I couldn't help myself. I drank it all in three days. Although it was a bit diluted, it was indeed good wine."

  Quan Kang was somewhat disappointed, "Where did this wine come from? Can it be obtained again? You don't have to work anymore, I'll order someone to do your job. Now, immediately find the person who supplied the wine for me, the sooner the better. If found, there will be a heavy reward!"

  Quan Kang was very excited and hurriedly turned his head to instruct the servant who had just called him, "Xiao Zhang, you can find any servant from our Li family to come and help with this task. If it succeeds, I will remember your great contribution."

  "Yes, it's all taken care of." The servant with the surname Zhang was overjoyed and quickly ran off to find someone.

  What kind of wine is Old Wei drinking? It's exactly Su Lianhui's homemade medicinal wine!

  Is the wine really so effective? Of course there's some exaggeration because Old Wei got a good deal out of it!

  Who is the one who did all these things? It's Su Lianwei, no doubt about it.

  Su Lianwei was dressed in men's clothing at a guest house in Dongning City, looking at medical books while waiting for an opportunity. Extremely calm and elegant, with an air of quiet confidence.

  She had spread a rumor in the village a few days ago to avoid Li Yutang's eyes, saying that she was going to Fangchi to buy kelp, and came to Dongning City overnight, disguised as a man.

  If it were another girl who disguised herself as a man, she would probably be seen through, but with Su Lianwei's height of 1.75 meters, wearing men's clothes, just looking at her back, she really looks like a young boy, not to mention the heroic spirit between her eyebrows and the confident aura emanating from her whole body.

  Wei Lao led the whole family out of the Tao Mansion, first returned home to ask his wife in a pretentious manner, and then "followed the vine to find the melon" to find the inn where Liang Wei was staying.

  In the inn, Su Liang had been waiting for a long time.

  "This young master, I am Quan, the manager of Li's household in Yuewang County. I'm disturbing you today because there's something I need to ask: what kind of wine did you give to Old Man Wei? What are its medicinal effects? Is there any left?" Quan Kang was too anxious and got straight to the point without any pleasantries.

  Lianyi also casually nodded, "Nice to meet you, my surname is Su. This wine is a family heirloom secret recipe that was lost and then recovered. It's specifically used to treat wind evil heart disease. I brewed some and came to Dongning City to see if there's any market for it. Later, I met Wei Popo through connections and heard that Mr. Wei had this illness, so I gave him some."

  Quan Kang suddenly became excited, "Su Gongzi, is there still wine?" This is precisely the disease that Master Li of the Li Manor suffers from - Wind Stroke Heart Disease.

  "This time, I brought two jars to try selling them first, but the wine is troublesome to brew. Even if I want to sell more, there's no wine to sell." Lian Wei said with a pretentious tone.

  "I'll take these two jars of wine, how much silver?" The housekeeper made a gesture and took out a silver bag from his bosom.

  "One hundred and two taels for one jar, two jars will be cheaper for you, one hundred and ninety-five taels."

  "Hey, what kind of wine is this? It's so expensive! Even the tribute wine from the palace wouldn't cost this much. Quan Kang hesitated for a moment, feeling embarrassed. "Little brother, is this wine worth it?" The steward wasn't someone to be easily fooled either."

  Lianyi still had that faint smile, "Although this wine is expensive, but I also brought some trial products out, giving them to you, the housekeeper. If it's effective, I won't raise the price on the spot. If it's ineffective, then just consider it a drink for fun."

  Su Lianwei's high pricing has a reason, one is to get more attention, sometimes consumers are weird, the same two products, the higher the price, the more effective it feels, people's strange psychology.

  Of course, there is another reason.

  Su Lianwei bribed Liu's mother to get into the Li mansion, and then also paid off Wei lao tou in Dongning City, spending a lot of money. This money must be paid back by someone! Su Lianwei wasn't going to take this lying down, she wanted to see that scoundrel Li Yutang, who would be the ultimate winner? The wool comes from the sheep's body, let Li Yutang go and deal with his own family's little bit of money.

  The housekeeper took over the wine and said, "Little brother, this wine won't let you take it for nothing. How much silver will I give you?"

  "I've already said I don't want any money, this is just a trial product. I also have principles when it comes to doing things." Lianyi refused and cast a long line to catch big fish.

  The whole family looked at him with admiration, "Young man, now there are few people like you who take business so seriously."

  "Overly flattering." Lianyi secretly smiled to herself, as long as the housekeeper had a good impression of her, he would definitely speak well of her in front of Old Master Li.

  "It's settled then, little brother, don't rush off, just stay and play in Dongning City for now. The cost of lodging and meals for the next few days will be on me. If this medicinal wine is effective for my master, we'll take care of these two jars." The steward decided to stabilize the situation with the young man first.

  "Then I'd rather obey than show respect." Liang Wei's face was filled with a calm and composed smile, while in her heart, she made a "V" gesture, thinking to herself: Li Yu Tang, one day, she would make him regret the decision he had made.

  ……

  Taofu, the housekeeper, held that jug of medicinal wine tightly in his arms as if it were a lifesaving medicine, and ran swiftly on the road. Where was the usual composed and steady manner of the steward?

  "Master, I'm back." The butler panted heavily.

  Mr. Li lay weakly on the old rattan rocking chair, with two maids kneeling beside him, one on each side, pressing his legs.

  He struggled to lift his eyes, "Daquan... ah, where did you go?"

  The whole family was flushed with excitement, and it's unclear whether it was from excitement or exhaustion. "Master, I have a medicinal wine that is an ancestral secret recipe, which can cure heart disease caused by wind evil. Master, please try some." As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of wine from his bosom.

  Mr. Li sighed with a smile, "Daquan, if it could be cured... it would have been better long ago. I've taken many precious Chinese medicines, haven't I? Let's give up."

  "No, sir, this time the medicinal wine has been tried by someone, I saw it with my own eyes, it's really effective. Sir, you try it, this time it will definitely work." Daquan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

  Mr. Li smiled helplessly, "Alright, then let's pour... some out." He didn't believe it, but he didn't want to waste the good intentions of his loyal old servant either.

  Scorpion medicine wine poured out, dark yellow in color, with a strong aroma of Chinese herbs and only a small amount of water added. This was Su Lianying's deliberate intention, taking risks to seek extraordinary effects, as the saying goes: "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get the tiger's cub?"

  ……

  Three days later.

  Su Lianwei was strolling in Dongning City, picking out an exquisite hairpin for Chu Yue as a gift. From afar, she heard someone calling out to her, and they rushed over while shouting, bumping into many people along the way.

  "Master Su, Master Su——"

  Lian Yi turned around, it was the servant who accompanied Quan Guanjia that day. The anxious heart of several days finally fell heavily, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a victorious smile.

  "Master Su, the steward is waiting for you at the inn. We've packed your wine, please hurry back." The servant with the surname Zhang said hastily.

  "Good."

  Lianyi followed the Li family's servant to the inn, and indeed, the steward was waiting. As soon as he saw Su Lianyi, it was like seeing an old friend he hadn't met in a long time. "Young Master Su, this wine is worth it, truly worth it!"

  Lianyi smiled and made a welcoming gesture with her hand. "Housekeeper, upstairs please."

  They arrived at Lianyi's room and had the shop boy bring up some tea. The two of them sat down and started talking.

  "Mr. Su, originally our old master had given up hope, but unexpectedly, on the first day of drinking, he felt his blood vessels were unblocked, and then the edema on his legs subsided a bit, unexpectedly he could breathe smoothly and slept soundly for three hours. On the second day, the edema on his legs improved even more, coughing decreased a lot, and phlegm gradually turned white. On the third day, he could lie flat on the bed and sleep soundly, Mr. Su, you may not know that our old master has not slept in bed for a whole month!" The speaker was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

  Now that Lianyi has heard Quan's words, she confirmed that Master Li's illness was indeed heart failure caused by rheumatic heart disease. In the past, people only knew that patients were physically weak and lacked energy, but they didn't know the specific symptoms. Now that they have encountered a special medicine for this condition, the patient's condition has improved greatly.

  Moreover, Su Lianwei speculated that the physical constitution of ancient people was more susceptible to the effects of medicine than modern people, because ancient people had not used antibiotics and modern people have been vaccinated from birth and take large amounts of antibiotics when they are unwell, resulting in a certain degree of drug resistance.

  But none of these matter, as long as it works.

  One hand handed over the money, one hand handed over the goods. The whole family ordered someone to quickly send two jars of wine to the Tao Mansion, while he stayed at the inn.

  "Su brothers, I don't know where your mansion is. In the future, if we need wine, we will send someone to buy it." said the housekeeper.

  Su Lianying secretly smiled in her heart, a good show is coming.

  But on the surface, he was still as calm and composed as ever. "The whole family is being polite, I'm just a rustic fellow from the countryside, my home is in Sujiacun Village, we make a living by brewing wine, in the past, I often went to Yuewang County to deliver wine to another household, the Li Manor."

  Quan Kang was stunned, "Su Jia Village? But isn't that Su Hao's home?"

  Lianyi nodded, "Exactly, Su Hao is my elder brother."

  Quan Kang slapped the table, "It's really a big flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Our Li family is exactly the one to whom your Su family delivers wine every day." He paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his look of surprise changed to a serious expression.

  "You Su family are really ungrateful, our old master is your long-time customer, for over a decade he has been buying wine from you through thick and thin. And yet, with such good wine in hand, you didn't even send it to the Li Manor, instead coming all the way to Dongning City to sell it. What, do you think the Li Manor can't afford the price?"

  Lian Yi also pretended to be surprised, "Ah? So the one drinking our family's wine is indeed Mr. Li? Butler, this is all a misunderstanding, how could we not send wine to Mr. Li? It was clearly you who didn't want the wine!"

  Quan Kang was shocked, "Don't tell me you're out of wine? How is that possible? Our old master has been buying wine from your family for years, how can it be cut off?"

  "It's just that it was cut off," said Lin Wei, her face full of determination. "My brother knew about Master Li's serious illness and was worried. This ancestral secret recipe had been lost for a long time, and my brother tried every means to get it back. After getting it back, he worked through the night to brew the wine. For this wine, my brother didn't sleep for three days and three nights. The wine has already been loaded onto the carriage and was about to be sent to the Li residence when someone from the Li household came to notify us that they no longer wanted the wine. I'm not lying."

  "Really?" Quan Kang was shocked. "Impossible! Master's illness is severe, how can he care about the Su family wine? Is someone impersonating him?"

  Lianyi shook his head, "No way, that guy is Xiao Pan who usually delivers messages and even deducted the wine money from before. Who can do business with someone like that?"

  Quan Kang burst into rage, slapping the table with a loud bang. "That little scoundrel is really thick-skinned! He dared to do such a thing behind my back, almost costing me my life! When I get back to the Li Manor, I'll have his skin torn off!"

  Ripples in his heart sneer - the tight-skinned kid is not Xiao Pan, but Li Yutang. I reckon you can't move him either.

  "However," Quan Kang continued, "who are you? I've met Su Hao's two siblings before, but I've never heard of a steady and reliable young master like you?"

  Lian Yu had originally wanted to report to Su Bai, but when the housekeeper said that even Su Bai knew him, he could only give up. He turned his brain around and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The housekeeper is indeed a noble person who forgets things easily, I am Su Lian Yu, it's not easy for a woman to travel outside, so I can only wear men's clothes, it's not intentional to deceive the housekeeper, please forgive me."

  She Su Lianying insisted on reporting her own name, letting Li Yutang that scoundrel know that she, Su Lianying herself, had personally exposed his sinister plot, and even if she couldn't deal with him, she would infuriate him to death!

  "Are you Su Lianwei?" Quan Kang was shocked for who knows how many times today, but this wasn't the fat girl he remembered.

  Ripples naturally knew what she was thinking, "It's like this, I had a serious illness last time, and I was bedridden for ten days. I also walked through the gates of hell, and these ten days consumed all my excess fat, making me so slender, sorry to make you laugh."

  Quan Kang smiled awkwardly, "No, everyone has their own strengths."

  The two of them talked some more about sending wine and reached a new agreement. Mr. Li's wine would continue to be sent, unless the butler himself went to stop it, otherwise it would be sent continuously. All medicinal wines were also taken care of by Mr. Li and delivered to the Li residence on time.

  It was settled that Lianyi would no longer stay in Dongning City, so she bought some gifts and rushed back to Sujia Village overnight.

  ……

  When Lian Hui returned home, Chu Yue was on the verge of tears, saying she missed her too much. Lian Hui could only coax her from left to right and finally calmed her down. She took out a carefully selected hairpin, and Chu Yue almost rushed over to kiss Lian Hui hard, happily accepting it with joy.

  Apart from buying a hairpin for Chuying, she also bought two pairs of shoes for her father Su Feng. The shoes were in the size that had been measured previously and fit Su Feng perfectly, making him feel very pleased with his considerate daughter.

  Su Hao's gift was a set of exquisite wine utensils, perhaps Su Hao loved the house and Wu, entered the wine shop and had a different feeling about wine, saw this wine utensil and couldn't bear to part with it.

  Su Bai and Sun Xiao Jin's gifts were naturally books, brushes, ink and paper. Xiao Jin was delighted, while Su Bai, on the other hand, looked at her sideways with a pout.

  There was a person who was very angry because she didn't get her gift. That person was Jiang Shi, Su Hao's wife. She had been eagerly waiting to receive gifts, but found that Su Lianhui hadn't even prepared one for her, and didn't even consider her as a person. She stomped her feet in anger and cursed loudly.

  Su Lianyi didn't buy gifts for Jiang's family, which was only natural. She thought she had a good heart, but being kind and being humiliated were two completely different things. Every time Jiang's family made sarcastic remarks, Su Lianyi endured it for the sake of Su Hao's face; otherwise, she would have taught them a lesson.

  A joyful day came to an end, and night fell. Although the inn in Dongning City where Lianyi stayed was not bad, it was still not her own home, and there were many inconveniences. After returning to her own home, she smelled the familiar fragrance of her home, listened to the sound of wind blowing through the grass and trees, and the chirping of insects unique to the countryside, and her restless heart finally settled down after several days.

  Made a cup of cooling chrysanthemum tea for myself and sat at the desk in the small courtyard to enjoy the tea and cool off.

  The big tiger ran to Xian Shui Tan again for a bath, and returned with wet hair, exchanging glances with Lian Yi who was sitting in the courtyard.

  "Come, have some tea." Lianyi warmly invited.

  Dahyu walked over as he was told, sat down, and Linwei poured tea for him.

  On a summer day, sleeves are short, ripples stretch out long arms, snow-white wrists shine brightly under the moonlight, like a jade bridge built by the moonlight, and also like a silver rainbow in the dark night sky. For the first time, Da Hu saw that a woman's wrist could be so beautiful.

  The tea has been poured, and Lianyi is holding it up to drink. "You try some too, this should be a floral tea, or maybe a medicinal tea. Anyway, it's not black tea, green tea, or oolong tea. As spring turns into summer, the body gets hot and dry, so drinking some chrysanthemum tea can help clear the heat."

  The big tiger nodded, picked up the tea bowl and slowly drank it. He couldn't taste the flavor, but he still patiently drank it, just because it was Lianyi's tea.

  Afterwards, the two of them didn't talk again, occasionally uttering a few words, and spent most of their time enjoying the quietness of the night.

  The great tiger put down his tea bowl, gazing at the serene woman in front of him, and then looked around at the tidy house and courtyard, as well as the spotless sky without a speck of dust. He couldn't help but wonder if this was indeed the life that hermits pursued. At this moment, he too felt a hint of intoxication.

  ……

  The Su family winery has started production again, and the workers are working hard from dawn till dusk. The winery produces Su Family Wine, while the Lianyi family produces medicinal wine.

  Farm work is usually busier in spring and autumn, planting in the spring and harvesting in the autumn. Summer is not very busy, each household only needs to send one laborer to water and remove pests, so Liang Wei went to Shujia Village to collect scorpions from the villagers.

  In addition to brewing wine, she also prepares some scorpions as medicine.

  It's a pity that people in this era don't understand the subtlety of ripples, but Lianyi intends to make good use of them.

  The villagers were overjoyed, it was like a pie falling from the sky. Who didn't catch scorpions when they were young and play with them until they got tired or killed them, but never thought that catching scorpions could make money.

  The price of scorpions is not low, one costs five copper coins, and two hundred cost one or two silver coins. This one or two silver coins can feed a family for a month, and if the family grows rice, they can save this amount.

  But the number of scorpions collected is limited, with only 30 per household per month. This is done to avoid disrupting the ecological balance, as modern people naturally understand the importance of ecological balance. Scorpions mainly eat locusts and other insects, if there are no scorpions, locusts will swarm and ultimately harm the villagers.

  Su Bai and Xiao Jin did their homework in the morning, and in the afternoon they started collecting and processing scorpions, while Chu Ying kept accounts.

  In the brewery, Liang Wei directly assigned tasks to Su Feng. Su Feng was used to wandering around and not accustomed to working in the fields. Now that Liang Wei had a hold on him, he used his deceased mother Xu Guifang to restrain him everywhere, which also had an effect. Now he has found another task for him, so Su Feng is also working diligently.

  A big family lives happily together, full of joy and harmony.

  This was the day when the Su family winery delivered goods to the Li mansion. The hired workers had just carefully loaded the wine onto the old mule's cart, when they heard a carriage sound. A high-headed big horse pulled a neat and majestic carriage into the Su village, stopping in front of the Su family winery gate.

  A person dressed in the attire of a servant from the Li Manor got down from the horse carriage, "Is this the Su Family Winery? I am from the Li Manor, my master has given orders to invite Master Su and Miss Su to enter the manor, saying that he wants to thank them in person."

  Su Hao hastily came out, "This young fellow, I am Su Hao, the boss of the Su family winery. You're saying that Master Li has invited me and my sister Su Lianwei?" He was quite surprised, although he had been supplying wine for over a decade, but meetings with Master Li could be counted on one hand, all of which were visits from him personally, never an invitation?

  "Yes." The servant replied.

  The workers were overjoyed when they heard that Old Master Li wanted to see Su Hao, and it was likely that he would ask for more wine. Would their wages also be increased?

  Only Old Horse Head knew that all of this was thanks to Su Lianwei's efforts.

  Jiang rushed to the copper mirror in the house to tidy up her hair and clothes, originally wanting to change into a decent outfit, but didn't dare keep people waiting for too long, so she hastily ran out. "Young man, when do we set off?" She secretly calculated that with such a tall and large carriage, she had never done this in her life.

  The man looked at Jiang and asked, "Are you Miss Su?"

  Jiang straightened her back, "I am Mrs. Su."

  The servant remained calm and composed, "Sorry, Mrs. Su, our master has only invited Mr. Su and Miss Su, but not you."

  "What? Didn't invite me?" Jiang was stunned, then stomped her foot. "Impossible, you must have heard wrong. I'm the boss's wife, what is Su Liangwei, just a troublemaker who will swindle money, why would Master Li invite her?"

  Su Hao finally got angry, he was originally kind and good-tempered, but everything has its limits. Now this dead woman actually lost face in front of outsiders, he couldn't bear it anymore. With one backhand, he slapped Jiang Shi's mouth heavily.

  "Go back home and stay there, you're losing face."

  Two workers from the winery, along with Old Horse, remained silent and watched with cold eyes, secretly cheering in their hearts. They had long been dissatisfied with the Jiang family, but couldn't intervene in other people's family affairs.

  "This young fellow has made a fool of himself." Su Hao felt embarrassed. "Old Ma, go and bring a jar of wine over."

  "Eh." Old Horse immediately fetched a jar of wine from the storehouse.

  "Hey little brother, would you mind running an errand for me? Take this and go drink it." Because of Su Hao's earlier bright red face, the wine was sent out.

  "It's nothing, Master Su is too kind." The servant declined a couple of times before finally accepting it. Although the Su family winery was small, their wine was expensive and liked by the masters, so naturally, their servants also wanted to get some to taste.

  Su Hao got on the carriage and led it to Lianyi's house to pick up people. The old horse head was driving a donkey cart carrying goods, following behind. After picking up Su Lianyi, the two carriages headed towards Yuewang County Town.

  ……

  Yue Wang County, since Mr. Li's health improved, the whole Li Mansion was jubilant, even more lively than during Chinese New Year. Whenever Madam was in a good mood, she would give out rewards to everyone in the mansion, and all the servants were beaming with joy.

  There is only one person with a complicated mood, and that is Li Yu Tang, the second son of the Li family.

  He also hoped to see his father's condition improve, but not because of Su Lianwei. He knew that all this was done by Su Lianwei, and had long discovered her abnormality, and had long sent someone to monitor her, but the woman was as cunning as a fox, and actually said she went to buy seafood, and quietly arrived in Dongning City.

  She not only spread the word about him cutting off the Su family's wine, but also said that the Su family had poisoned the wine, and it was only after the Li family cut off the Su family's wine that they found out. This is clearly an attempt to shift the blame of unfilial conduct onto him!

  If it weren't for that prescription still not being obtained, concerning his own father's life, he must send someone to kill Su Lianwei overnight!

  Li Yutang drove all the servants out, closed the doors and windows, and vented his emotions in the study, pacing back and forth on the ground, and then punched the wall fiercely. Where was the carefree and leisurely appearance of usual?

  A polite knock at the door sounded softly outside the study, Li Yutang stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on his robe with his hand, and regained his calm demeanor. "Come in."

  The door opened and it was Mo Nong, Li Yutang's attendant.

  "Master, the housekeeper is severely interrogating Pan Dazhou, asking who dared to cut off the supply of Su Family wine despite knowing about Master's illness."

  Li Yutang's elegant eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, gritting his teeth, Su Lianwei, he must make her die!

  But the situation at this time... is really difficult to handle, as long as it's acknowledged, even if Father doesn't think much of it, but the name of unfilial piety will eventually spread, Li Yutang is perfect and absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen.

  Lowering his thick eyelashes, hiding the cold-blooded ruthlessness in his eyes, Li Yutang lowered his voice, "Pass down the order, find someone to take care of Pan Dazhou, remember, don't make any unnecessary moves." The magnetic and pleasant male voice that usually brought joy now sounded like a death knell.

  Mo has followed Young Master for many years, and such things are no longer surprising. Young Master has always been a person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."Yes."

  Mo Hen retreated, and Li Yutang was now truly frightened. He sat upright at the table, his eyes wide open, his face pale, and his heart racing wildly. He feared being suspected by his father, he feared losing his reputation!

  ……

  A group of people with two vehicles arrived at the Li residence. The donkey cart driven by Old Horse Head naturally entered through the back door, but the horse-drawn carriage carrying the Su siblings entered through the front door.

  The whole family of Pan Dajun's was inquiring about the arrival of the Su family, and they hurriedly stopped the interrogation to rush to the front door to welcome them.

  When the housekeeper arrived at the front door, Su Hao had already gotten out of the carriage and reached out to help Su Liuwei.

  Today, Su Liang's dress was a pale pink color, without too much embellishment. The collar, sleeves and hem were adorned with small flowers embroidered in red thread. A red sash was tied around her waist, with a delicate purse attached to it, containing fragrant spices that emitted a subtle scent as she moved.

  She has a slender and tall figure, although not as delicate as ordinary women, but with a unique elegance and virtuous temperament, especially her temperament, always calm and composed.

  Her hair was black and dense, neatly coiled up with a single silver pin.

  With downcast eyes and lowered head, her pink lips were slightly curved upwards, the whole person looking like a lotus flower emerging from the water.

  At this time, even the all-seeing butler couldn't help but secretly admire Su Lianwei's temperament.

  The young master he met in Dongning City was carefree and unrestrained, while the woman he saw today was introverted and calm, if not for his own eyes seeing it, he wouldn't believe that these two were actually one and the same.

  "Master of the house, I'm sorry to trouble you to come out and greet me." Su Hao said, flattered.

  The butler smiled warmly, "No need to be polite, Master Su and our Li family have been cooperating for many years, you should come and go more often. I'm the one who's neglecting my duties as a host, that's the real rudeness." He turned around to face Su Lianwei, smiling, "We meet again, Miss Su."

  She smiled warmly and politely, bowed slightly to the butler, and didn't say much.

  Quan Kang led the two into the inner courtyard, heading towards Mr. Li's residence. As he chatted with Su Hao, he covertly observed Su Lianyi's every move. He saw that she slightly lowered her head, exuding humility yet giving off an air of neither arrogance nor inferiority, calm and composed, without glancing around carelessly.

  Even Su Hao couldn't help but be amazed by the Li mansion's courtyard, but Su Lianwei didn't give it more than a glance.

  The whole family was shocked, what a serious illness could make a person undergo such a drastic change? It's as if he had become a different person.

  As soon as they entered the courtyard, Su's siblings stopped in their tracks. The butler went inside and announced, "Master, Su's siblings have arrived."

  Li Fu'an, although not fully recovered, had been drinking the specially prepared medicinal wine for his illness for many days and was now out of danger. He sat in a rocking chair with high spirits as the maids knelt down to gently massage his legs to reduce swelling.

  Li Fu'an stopped reading and smiled warmly, "Let them in."

  "Yes." The housekeeper withdrew.

  The frail old master of the Li family looked tired, but his eyes were bright and sharp, as if he was thinking about something, with a hint of thought in his narrowed eyes.

  After all, he is an old businessman for decades, not just a confused old man. How did the Su family winery suddenly have some kind of ancestral secret recipe? This recipe actually has such a therapeutic effect, how can it be passed down from a rural wild husband's family? There must be something wrong with this!

  Su Hao and Lian Wei entered, Su Hao in front, Lian Wei behind.

  Su Hao saw Mr. Li and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting, "Mr. Li, how's your health? I've been worried." These words weren't flattery, as Mr. Li had taken care of the Su family business for decades, and Su Hao's sentiment towards him was genuine.

  Mr. Li was a shrewd person and had known Su Hao's character early on, so he smiled warmly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

  Su Hao flashed to the side and Li Fu'an came forward with a ripple, making a respectful bow to him.

  Mr. Li raised his head and looked up, the book in his hand fell to the ground with a rustling sound, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Lianwei, "You... you... you are..."

  Lianyi was taken aback, very puzzled, did Master Li know her?

  Digression
