Chapter 186 Twist
When the conspiracy between Doctor Ji and his grandson was exposed last night, Qin Ruo said that she had no interest in the position of Princess Ling. Si Heng, who was listening at the time, turned pale.
He does not mean that.
After dealing with the matters of Doctor Ji and Ji Yuyao, Si Heng unexpectedly suffered from insomnia.
He was thinking, did Qin Ruo really despise the position of Princess Ling? Or was it him that Qin Ruo despised?
Si Heng felt that he was a little wronged. When they first met Qin Ruo, he did do some things that made her unhappy. Didn't he apologize later?
How come she still remembers it?
All night long, he kept thinking about what Qin Ruo said, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
Anyway, he had something to do today and had to go see Qin Ruo. After lunch, he simply dragged Xue Jing, who had just returned from outside, over in the name of having tea.
"Miss Qin, why is there one painting missing here?" As soon as he entered the hall, Si Heng noticed at a glance that there was one painting missing from the wall.
The last time I came, there were four landscape paintings of spring, summer, autumn and winter hanging on the wall. When I asked about them and learned that they were painted by Qin Ruo, he even praised them a few times.
Now the only thing missing was the winter scene, Si Heng noticed it at a glance.
Si Heng remembered that when Lu Jingchen left just now, he was holding something that looked like a scroll in his hand, and he suddenly became uneasy.
"When Mr. Lu came to say goodbye, he said that the painting suited his taste and asked for it. It's not a valuable item, but since Mr. Lu likes it, I'll give it to him." Qin Ruo raised her head and glanced at the wall. She thought Si Heng had a good memory and could notice such small details.
Xue Jing saw that Si Heng was about to get angry again, so he quickly stepped forward and pretended to be heartbroken.
"Ah Heng talked to me about it on the way here. He particularly liked the landscape paintings you drew. To be honest, we came here today for these paintings. I wanted to ask Miss Qin if you were willing to give them up. Mr. Lu was very quick to take away the winter scenery among all the spring, summer, autumn and winter paintings..."
Xue Jing performed very hard and Si Heng was satisfied. They were indeed able to play together.
"Why didn't you tell me when Mr. Si came last time? What's wrong with you? Why are you all getting together to paint? Just take them if you like them. They are not valuable things." Qin Ruo waved at Xue Jing and Si Heng nonchalantly.
Xue Jing turned around and gave Si Heng a smug look, then went to take the painting off the wall.
"Thank you, Miss Qin. We're welcome then."
Xue Jing meant it when he said you're welcome, and he took down all the remaining paintings on the wall.
"It's a pity that the winter scene is missing. The four seasons are incomplete." Xue Jing quickly put the scroll away and shook his head regretfully.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. I'll paint another one for you when I have time next time." Qin Ruo casually agreed to paint another one for Xue Jing.
Just a few calligraphy and paintings are really not worth mentioning compared to the fact that Xue Jing was willing to personally take Zhou Dazhu to Ganzhou.
The changes that Zhou Dazhu has experienced after his return are all visible, which shows that Xue Jing really put his heart into it.
"Miss Qin, I'll send you some antiques and paintings later. You're not allowed to refuse." Xue Jing said as he put the scroll away and gave Si Heng a look that said "you know what I mean."
"No need, it's just something I made casually on a daily basis."
Si Heng, who had been silent the whole time, was already thinking about what to give Qin Ruo.
Looking at the bright smile on Si Heng's lips, Xue Jing almost rolled his eyes.
He was so shy even when asking for a painting. How could this be like Si Heng's usual style?
This taciturn guy wants to pursue Miss Qin?
Forget it! It’s better to go to bed. Dreams can bring you everything.
The tea on the charcoal stove has boiled. Qin Ruo picked up the teapot and started to brew tea. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water and were particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Qin, you are the fastest in business. Xunyuji has only been open for a short time, and you are already tinkering with Baicaotang. What's wrong with your brain? I can't catch up with you even if I flatter you."
Xue Jing hadn't even sat down to warm up his tea chair when he jokingly mentioned Qin Ruo's Baicaotang. He was in charge of the sale of some of Si Heng's properties, and also had his own business.
After investing in Xunyu Ji, Xue Jing truly experienced the money-making ability of this restaurant.
Even though the restaurant only has medium consumption, the turnover is quite considerable.
And the Baicaotang that Qin Ruo had just mentioned really made Xue Jing jealous.
Different from Xinglintang which has doctors on duty, Baicaotang's current model is simply to sell medicinal materials, ranging from the most common herbs to rare and precious herbs.
To sum it up in one sentence, Baicaotang has what other people's pharmacies have. Baicaotang also has what other people's pharmacies don't have, and the quantity is not small.
Xue Jing naturally knew how profitable the medicinal materials business could be.
He made a lot of money from the batch of medicinal herbs he took away from Qin Ruo a few years ago.
"It's because of poverty. Life is so stressful that I have to find ways to make a living. After all, I have money in my pocket so I don't have to worry. Gentlemen, please don't blame me for stealing your Xinglintang's business." Qin Ruo chuckled and pushed the brewed tea in front of Si Heng and Xue Jing.
The aroma of tea wafts in the air, with a faint fragrance that blends harmoniously with the atmosphere on the scene.
Xue Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had a shop, a farm, a restaurant and a pharmacy, and Miss Qin called this poor?
"Miss Qin, you are too kind. Business depends on one's own ability. Besides, Baicaotang and my Xinglintang have their own strengths, so there is no question of competing for business."
Si Heng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
He has countless businesses under his control. If he only relied on Tanglintang to make money, those people in An Ge would have starved to death long ago.
There are endless business opportunities in this world. As long as you put your heart into it, you can always find a source of wealth.
Si Heng's target is not in Taihe County, and Qin Ruo's Baicaotang can't really have any impact.
The two-story Baicaotang opened by Qin Ruo a few years later was extremely low-key when it opened, but Old Madam Xie and Si Heng were aware of it.
Qin Ruo detoxified Si Heng and found the blood crystal grass, and Si Heng paid the medical fee.
But in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Xie, a few material possessions are nothing compared to Si Heng's life.
Moreover, ever since Qin Ruo adjusted her body, Madam Xie is now much healthier and no longer looks as sickly as before.
Later, two shops in Taihe County and a farm in the suburbs were forced upon Qin Ruo. The current Baicaotang was converted from one of the shops.
Qin Ruo did not refuse Madam Xie's kindness, but she would quietly make up for it.
The fruits and vegetables delivered to us on a daily basis are things that cannot be bought outside even if you have money.
After the space spiritual spring area was unlocked, she sent out diluted spiritual spring water several times.
Old Madam Xie particularly liked the tea made with that water.
The same tea leaves feel different when boiled with the water sent by Qin Ruo.
It has a mellow taste with a long aftertaste, and makes you feel comfortable and refreshed after drinking it.
Even Si Heng noticed that when the tea dregs were poured into the roots of flowers, the flowers grew more vigorously than others.
