Chapter 329: Profiteer (a few new additions at the end)
Ji Xuan and Qi Min came to Gu Mansion at noon.
Su Wan saw the couple in the flower hall and said in surprise: "Father! Mom! Why are you back?" Counting the days, not long after they left Xiliang, these two people came to Dazhou! She felt incredible: "The Queen is willing to let him go?"
Qi Min couldn't help laughing and said: "I want to leave, but she can't stop me."
Su Wan instantly understood that when Qi Min compromised in front of the Supreme Empress, he wanted her and Gu Huaizhi to leave Xiliang smoothly. Otherwise, I don’t know what the Supreme Queen will do if I go against it.
"Mom, I miss you so much." Su Wan hugged Qi Min and acted coquettishly.
"Mom misses you too." Qi Min looked at Su Wan in her arms, very close to her and relying on her, with a smile in her eyes: "We will stay in the capital for half a year. Do you want to move in with your parents?"
Su Wan's heart moved, thinking of her current situation, she said with a bitter face: "No." She rubbed Qi Min's shoulder and said pitifully: "I'm married, so I can't stay at my parents' house all day long. There's still an injury in the house. Suffer.”
Qi Min knows the situation of the Gu family. The second son he adopted is from the royal family and has recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. The Gu family may not be willing to part with him. When Su Wan moved to the Regent's Mansion, Gu Huaizhi would definitely live there with her. Only Gu's mother and Gu Baozhu were left in the mansion.
"Come to stay in the palace for two days a month?" Qi Min stayed in the capital for half a year because she wanted to cultivate the mother-daughter relationship with Su Wan: "How about you leave a room in the palace and mother can come and stay for two days?"
"Okay, okay!" Su Wan's eyes sparkled with starlight and she said brightly: "The yard next door to where I live is empty. Let's clear it out for you and dad to live in!"
Ji Xuan, who originally had objections and wanted to reject Qi Min's proposal, heard Su Wan's words and quietly became invisible, not disturbing the mother and daughter's conversation.
Mother and daughter were leaning against each other, chatting about what had happened in the past few days, and said that after the capital city stabilized, they would take Su Wan to Yunzhong City to take a look.
This was the place where the couple fell in love, and Su Wan was very interested.
"Your body has just recovered, and you have traveled a long distance. Let's take good care of ourselves for a while." Su Wan held Qi Min's hand and took her pulse: "Your body has recovered very well. You can exercise properly to strengthen your physique."
She squeezed Qi Min's arm. Compared with the previous skinny skin, it had gained some muscle. Her overall complexion was much better and she was more radiant.
Qi Min naturally listened to Su Wan in everything, but she had one thing hidden in her heart. She glanced at Ji Xuan and said hesitantly: "Wanwan, do you want your identity to be revealed?"
Su Wan was startled, "Revealing my identity will not have much impact on me, but it will not have a good impact on you."
Being pregnant before marriage and tasting the forbidden fruit is very unkind to Qi Min.
"Let's leave it like this for now. Anyway, we can live well. There is no need to let others know everything." Su Wan said nonchalantly: "I don't feel wronged."
Qi Min couldn't make up his mind and looked at Ji Xuan aside.
Ji Xuan said quietly: "Let nature take its course."
Several people reached an agreement not to deliberately conceal or reveal Su Wan's identity.
Even so, Qi Min felt that she owed Su Wan. It was a mistake on her part that prevented Su Wan from legitimately recognizing his father, and she was still someone else's daughter.
She wanted to make amends by doing something for her daughter, but she was too capable to use them.
I felt a little frustrated.
Seeing that she was worried, Su Wan turned her eyes and smiled sheepishly: "Mom, Dad, I have something I want you to help me with."
"What's the matter?" Qi Min and Ji Xuan cheered up. This was the first time their daughter had asked them for help!
"Mom, I want to join hands with the imperial court to open Baishantang to provide help to those poor patients who cannot afford treatment." Su Wan was thinking in her heart, "Su Wan" is a tragic character, because she not only changes the tragic death Even the ending of the people around me has improved, and everything has a happy ending. This may be the love given by God. "I want to do more good deeds and accumulate blessings for the people I love. The money I earn will last my life." We can’t spend it all, we take it from the people and use it for the people.”
They have accumulated a reputation, and even if their identity cannot be concealed and leaked, I hope everyone will be more tolerant because of their goodwill.
Even if there are still some discordant sounds, she can accept it calmly.
Ji Xuandao: "Tell me, what should I do?"
Su Wan said enthusiastically: "We will first select two places to pilot. The doctors in Baishantang will pass the examination just like the selection of imperial doctors. The salary will be distributed by the court every month. We will post notices at the door that the poor will be exempted from medical treatment. Money. But when they come to the place of diagnosis, they need to issue a certificate in the hands of the village chief. The doctor can give treatment first and then verify their true condition. If the family is in good condition, it is not only necessary to give a false certificate on purpose. In addition to paying a medical fee, they are also required to do hard labor for half a month. This can be a good deterrent and prevent them from occupying resources. People who really need treatment will not get it. "
Ji Xuan frowned: "This needs supervision by local officials."
"That's why I want to cooperate with the imperial court. As for the medicinal materials for treating diseases, I will provide them all." Su Wan naturally wanted to get some more benefits for herself: "Dad, you can discuss with others, the palace and the military Can you get the medicinal materials from me?"
Ji Xuan pointed his finger at her forehead: "Profiteer."
She collected wool from the imperial court to replenish Baishan Hall, and she gained fame.
"If I were a profiteer, even if I didn't open Baishantang and wanted to provide medicinal materials to the palace and the army, would you reject me?" Su Wan covered her forehead and said dissatisfied: "And the price I gave is very fair. It must be cheaper than the medicine given by the imperial merchants."
Ji Xuan laughed and said, "You can make a plan for me."
This is promised!
"I'll deliver it to you tomorrow." Su Wan was in a good mood after completing a big event: "Will you stay for dinner?"
"Your father has an appointment. After Gu Qingsong recovers from his injuries, he will invite you and your family to have a meal together." Qi Min thought about it and felt that Su Wan's idea was too risky: "You have taken over all the medicinal materials in the palace and the army. , Do you have so many medicinal materials on hand? Do you get them from elsewhere? If so, you have to pay attention to the quality. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible."
"If you get the goods from elsewhere and resell them several times, you will lose money on the local business. I plan to buy mountainous land and hire people to plant medicinal materials in a large area." Su Wan had this plan in mind for a long time, but there were too many things to do and she never had time to implement it.
Qi Min felt relieved.
——
Su Wan sent the plan to Mo Yuan to the Regent's Palace the next day, and then devoted himself to taking care of Gu Qingsong. Ten days and a half passed, and his health gradually improved.
At this time, the new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and added Enke.
Su Wan's discussion with the regent also received a response, and the new emperor and officials gave full support.
She is planning to buy mountain land and start growing medicine, so she needs to conduct on-site inspections.
Today, I made an appointment and was about to go out. Mo Yuan came over with a slightly strange expression and said, "Mother, Ji Wufeng wants to see you."
