♂?，，

  There is still one more episode tonight, asking for powder!

  Lin Lan changed back into women's clothes on the horse carriage, and when they arrived at the Li residence, before entering the door, Wen Shan asked with a difficult expression: "Second Young Mistress, if Second Young Master asks..." Although Second Young Mistress and Hua Shao only had tea and talked about medical skills, they sat for two hours, chatting very enthusiastically. If Second Young Master found out, he would not be happy, right?

  "I'll talk to him." Lin Lan smiled slightly and went straight in. Wen Shan was very good, very capable, very clever and very loyal. But Lin Lan knew that the true master of Wen Shan's heart was his second young master, as long as he did not harm the interests of the second young master, he could also obey her. But how could she possibly harm Li Mingyu's interests? He was now her real husband, the one she truly liked, the only one she liked. What was wrong with chatting with Hua Shao? They were just discussing medical skills and academic discussions, open and honest, not afraid to tell Li Mingyu, believing that Li Mingyu was not a unreasonable person who liked to nitpick.

  Returning to Luoxiazhai, Lin Lan only knew that Li Mingyu came back early today. He was originally waiting for her in the house and had just been called away by Old Master, leaving a message saying he would go directly to Chaohuitang to pay his respects later.

  Lin Lan finished washing up, and Yu Rong presented her with a bowl of Eight Treasures Congee made by Gui Ren: "It's cold outside, Second Young Mistress, have a bowl of congee to warm yourself up! Gui Shu cooked this congee extremely well, it's thick, fragrant, smooth, sweet but not greasy, Second Young Master also had a bowl."

  Lin Lan had been drinking tea outside for an afternoon, and her stomach was so full that she couldn't eat anything no matter how delicious it was. "Let's put it aside first! I'm not hungry," she said, then began to tidy up her hair in front of the mirror.

  She saw a hesitant expression in the mirror, exactly the same as Wenshan's earlier look.

  "Is anything wrong?" Lin Lan asked.

  "Second Mistress, I heard that in the spring, the lady is planning to send away some of the older maids from the mansion or marry them off." Yurong said softly.

  Lin Lan didn't think deeply about it.

  "I'm not even of age yet! Even if I were, I believe Second Young Mistress would take charge for us servants, but this is just my own thoughts, who knows what others think? What if someone gets anxious..." Yu Rong's words trailed off halfway.

  Lin Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what was meant. She put down the comb she was using to style her bangs and said slowly: "I'll keep this in mind and pay attention to it, so as not to cause any unpleasantness."

  Yu Rong saw the second young lady understood and smiled with a relieved heart: "The slave understands."

  Lin Lan arrived at Chao Hui Tang, Ming Yun was already there. When he saw her coming, Ming Yun's originally calm eyes suddenly had a warm and gentle look.

  Lin Lan smiled slightly and went forward to pay her respects to the old lady and the old witch.

  "Get up! I heard you're going out again today." The old lady's tone was light, but her slightly stern expression revealed her dissatisfaction.

  Recently, she has been going out frequently, and the old lady has an opinion that it's normal. After all, this is in ancient times, women can't go out casually. But she is a doctor, how can she not go out? She has been thinking about when to mention the pharmacy business, Mingyun said that he would take care of it... Lin Lan went to see Li Mingyun, and saw that Mingyun nodded slightly at her. Lin Lan let out a sigh of relief, it seems that the matter with her father has already been settled.

  "Returning to her grandmother, the daughter-in-law had always wanted to open a pharmacy. A few days ago, her eldest uncle helped find a suitable location and she went to take a look. The area was good and the price was reasonable, so she thought of renting it to open a pharmacy. These past few days, she's been busy with this matter." Lin Lan didn't mention that the storefront was given by her eldest uncle, firstly because she feared her father wouldn't be pleased - he currently strongly disliked Ye family being overly friendly to Ming Yu, and secondly, she also feared Old Lady Wu would become jealous and come up with schemes. It's better to have fewer things to deal with."

  The old lady stared at Lin Lan with an increasingly displeased expression, and said solemnly: "As a woman, you should not be so forward and immodest. As a wife, your priority is to support your husband and teach your children."

  Han Qiu Yue didn't express her opinion, anyway Lin Lan opened a pharmacy and didn't ask for her storefront, besides Lin Lan was busy with her own affairs and didn't have so many thoughts to come find trouble with her. Ye Zi was carefree.

  She knew that the old lady would oppose it, but at this time she'd better not speak up, let Ming Yu say it, so Lin Lan lowered her head and remained silent.

  "I think it's pretty good, Lin Lan is a doctor after all, and has already made a name for himself in the capital. The other day, Yu Daren from the Ministry of Rites even thanked me repeatedly, saying that he owed it to Lin Lan's Baoning pills that his sixth son was fine."

  "As a wife, it is important to support one's husband and teach children well. However, if one can utilize their own special skills, they can not only help others but also build good relationships, which will be beneficial for Mingyun's official career as well." Li Jingxian said slowly.

  Lin Lan didn't wait for Li Mingyu to speak, but instead waited for a speech from Li's father. This was the most reasonable and heartfelt speech she had heard since coming to the Li family. It seemed that Mingyu's ideological work had been done very well.

  The old lady pondered her son's words, thinking that they also made sense. However, the thought of Lin Lan going out and socializing still made her uncomfortable. She replied indifferently: "Since Father has praised me, this old woman has nothing more to say. Just don't forget your duties as a wife."

  Lin Lan was overjoyed and hastily paid her respects to the old lady, smiling and saying: "Thank you, Grandmother." Of course, she also didn't forget to thank Li Ze: "Thank you, Father."

  Han Qiuyue was originally going to wait and see, waiting for them to argue until a result came out before she spoke up. She didn't expect Lin Lanshan to be so quick, not giving her a chance to express her opinion at all, directly ignoring her as the mother-in-law. Han Qiuyue was extremely displeased in her heart.

  Li Jingxian smiled and said: "Go ahead! This is a good thing, if there's not enough capital, just speak up, whatever is lacking, the family will make up for it."

  Lin Lan's eyes lit up, has the scumbag changed his ways? He's giving money and doesn't even want it? But... Li Mingyu shook his head.

  Lin Lan cautiously looked at the old witch, only to see that the old witch had already turned black in the face. Suddenly, she remembered that the old witch had invested heavily in coal mines, taking out all her savings and even borrowing usury. Where did she get the money to subsidize her? It really made the old witch anxious. The old witch might have the nerve to propose that the Li family invest together and share her pharmacy... That would be a loss.

  Lin Lan's mind cleared up, and she smiled: "Thank you, Father, for your concern. I've thought about it, and I think we should start by opening the medicine shop first. Once we earn some silver, we can slowly expand our scale. This way, it won't cost too much, and if we're frugal, we should be able to make do."

  On the other side, Li Mingyun's eyebrows relaxed and he drank tea calmly. He and Lin Lan had a tacit understanding between them, with just one glance, one furrowed brow, or one smile, they could understand each other's intentions. This kind of spiritual connection was truly wonderful.

  Han Qiu Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, now she didn't have any spare money on hand, and that matter was also hidden from the old master. The old master only cared about eating and didn't bother with anything else, making casual promises. What if Lin Lan made some outrageous demands? Where would Han Qiu Yue go to get the money? Wouldn't she be at a great loss? Fortunately, Lin Lan knew her place.

  "Ah, one step at a time, steady and solid, very good. Anyway, if there's any difficulty, just tell the family, we're all one family, no need to be polite." Li Jingxian is showing his kind fatherly nature today. The emperor is increasingly fond of Mingyun, and he has already received news that next spring, the emperor will promote Mingyun's official position. And Mingyun is also becoming more and more respectful towards him as a father, discussing everything with him openly and sincerely. The relationship between father and son has greatly improved, Li Jingxian is very pleased. After all, it's the bond between parent and child, thicker than water!

  Han Qiuyue finally found an opportunity to interject and chimed in: "What the master said is absolutely right, if there's any trouble, it must be discussed with the family."

  Lin Lan sneered inwardly. Now the one who was truly in trouble was the old witch, and her troubles would only continue to multiply. Ben Er's wife, on the other hand, had ample funds and a life that was much better than before.

  "Is your wife's body better now?" The old lady didn't want to continue this topic, and seeing Ming Ze sitting silently on the side being ignored, she asked him a question.

  Ming was startled and hastily replied, "I'm a bit better, just still feeling somewhat weak and having no appetite."

  The old lady sighed and turned to Lin Lan: "Lin Lan, go see Ruoyan, what's wrong with her?"

  Lin Lanxin said, of course, it's a heart disease. Her husband had an affair behind her back and almost brought home a bastard child. Any woman would be angry about this. Alas, a beautiful flower was inserted into cow dung. Ding Ruoyan is depressed.

  "Sun's daughter-in-law has shown it to her elder sister, but it's just a lack of energy and blood, and the spleen and stomach are slightly out of balance. With slow medication and regulation, she will be fine." Lin Lan covered up for Ding Ruoyan with a thick tone, feeling very sympathetic towards her.

  Han Qiu Yue also said: "I asked the maid beside her, she said that every winter day, there was no energy, and the appetite was not good. When spring came and the weather warmed up, it got better."

  Actually, the old lady also understood that Yu Yan was still not letting go of that matter. She sincerely advised Ming Ze: "Ming Ze should care more about Yu Yan and accompany her to talk or go out for a walk when he has time."

  Ming then hastily agreed, with a bitter heart that couldn't be expressed. If Yan was now completely not speaking to him, ignoring him, how could he comfort her?

  Li Jingxian added with a hint of annoyance: "Don't always just respond with your mouth, use your brain too."

  Ming then hastily got up, lowering his head and said: "Your son has taken note."

  Li Jingxian gave him a sideways glance: "Your father has already arranged for someone to recommend you to take the Mingjing exam, prepare well and don't embarrass me again."

  His face looked even more sour than before. Another exam?

  Han Qiuyue listened with joy and said, "Ming Ze! This is a great opportunity, you must grasp it well." Han Qiuyue saw that the old master's eyes had softened, it seemed that he still cared about Ming Ze after all, being his own flesh and blood.

  Li Ming's painful expression made Lin Lan want to laugh. Comrade Li Ming was just like Li Zong, but with a more flirtatious heart. No wonder his father disliked him more and more.

  Take another look at Mingyun, who is elegant and calm by the side, and compare him with others. It's simply like heaven and earth.
