As noon approached, there were fewer and fewer people on the street.

At the end of the year, the foreigners who came to Lucheng to buy goods all rushed back home to celebrate the new year, and the noisy streets were a bit depressed.

Li Haitang was carrying a bag and wandering aimlessly in the street. She was in a foreign land, her younger brother Li Jinhu and the savage husband were away, so she didn't have any sense of belonging.

"Haitang, hurry up, there are guests at home!"

Uncle Chen drove the carriage and went to the bookstore first. He heard from the clerk that the owner mentioned Baicaotang, so he changed the direction again.

"guest?"

Apart from Li Xia, Li Haitang has almost no friends in Lucheng. The date she agreed with Zhang Ruyi, the magistrate's daughter, did not arrive. Could it be that she was in a hurry, so she came to the door early?

"It's Chunniang."

Second Uncle Chen exhaled heat with his hands and rubbed them again. This time Chunniang came to the door, she was weather-beaten, she was not empty-handed, she specially brought a gift, and even his children were not left behind.

Even though he was a helper in name, Second Uncle Chen had long treated Li Haitang as a family member. Friends of the master's family must not be neglected.

"Then let's go back quickly!"

Li Haitang didn't want to get in the carriage, so she sat on the other side of the carriage. She wrapped herself tightly and chatted with Uncle Chen.

"I went to Huang Ji. There is no ready-made pharmacy, but there are several shops that need to be redeemed."

There are only a few pharmacies in the town, and most people go to Baicaotang for medical treatment. There are barefoot doctors in the village, who have a cold and fever, and they can make a few earthen prescriptions and drink them.

Uncle Chen counted the days, if he rents or buys it now, the house will be vacant until the next year.

Years ago, there were too many trivial things to repair, find people, buy goods, and go to the yamen to open a shop, which was not so fast.

"It's okay to leave it empty, if you want to open it, you can open a big one."

After returning from Baicaotang, Li Haitang was inspired, she had a backer, she had to get a decent one, Xiao Taohong gave her 10,000 taels of silver, and was worrying about how to spend it.

Almost at the door of the house, far away, Chunniang was standing under the eaves, back and forth with her hands behind her back, and when she heard the sound of a carriage, she waved, "Haitang, if you don't come back again, I want to go find you!"

"Isn't brother-in-law inseparable from someone's care?"

Li Haitang jumped out of the carriage, took Chunniang by the hand, and pulled her into the room, and said with a serious face, "Chunniang, is there something wrong with the prescription?"

Chunniang's husband, He Fang's prescription, has been eaten for a while, and Li Haitang has not adjusted it yet. She wanted to go back to the border town, but she was delayed because she met Zhang Ruyi.

"Your brother-in-law is good. I'll ask the guy to take care of him first."

A while ago, the house caught fire, and the fabric lost a lot, but her husband got better, and Chunniang didn't feel sorry for Yinzi at all.

Recently, she has focused on being with her husband, decocting medicine every day, serving tea and water, and she is not at ease when others help her.

In the afternoon yesterday, someone found her cloth shop, delivered two parcels, and named Li Haitang by name. Chunniang wanted to ask about the situation, but unexpectedly the other party didn't say much, just said that Li Haitang would know when he saw something.

If it was someone else, Chunniang would at best find someone to help run errands, but this was Li Haitang's business, she was afraid that others would not be able to explain it clearly, so she had to do it herself.

After leaving the border town yesterday, she arrived in Lucheng around noon. According to the address in the letter, she came to her door.

"Chun Niang, sit down and drink some water."

Li Haitang made hot tea and handed it to Chunniang, who was at a loss when she saw two boxes on the table.

Could it be that the people from the Li family gave it to her? Maybe, it's not a good object. When you open it, it can't be a human head or something, right?

It's not that she has a rich imagination. The other party went to Chunniang's to find her with too much purpose.

"Just yesterday, a black-faced person came and said that I have something for you. I didn't dare to delay. I was afraid it was something important, so I sent it to you."

Chun Niang took a sip of hot tea, the two cities were next to each other, and it would take a day to go back and forth quickly. She followed the caravan transporting fabrics and left in an hour.

"It's rare for you to come once, can't you stay for a day?"

Li Haitang asked to stay, Chunniang came and went in a hurry, wasting time on the road, maybe she didn't have a warm meal.

"I just worry about my life."

Chun Niang waved her hand, the buddy is clumsy, what if the prescription of the medicinal material is wrong? After she went out, her eyelids kept twitching, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Shipping goods is the hardest thing. I couldn't find the inn yesterday, so I spent the night in the carriage. Fortunately, there is a stove, so the night is not so cold.

Hurrying back in the afternoon, when I get home before noon tomorrow, I can still make medicine for her husband, the timing is just right.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Li Haitang didn't do much to keep her. She asked Second Aunt Chen to cook and packed some local products from Lucheng.

"Aren't you going to open it to see what it is? The person who delivered it said that you'll understand it when you see it."

Chun Niang stared at the two boxes, which were quite important, but she couldn't guess what was inside.

"it is good."

The two boxes are wrapped with silk and satin. Looking at the boxes, they are made of high-quality golden nanmu. It is said that this kind of wood is so precious that if a rich family has a chair made of golden nanmu, they will have to show it off for a long time.

Don't think about it, such a valuable thing must not have been sent by the best of the Li family.

Li Haitang touched his nose, and under Chunniang's gaze, opened the first small box.

The sun shines in through the glazed window lattice, and the light is shining on the tabletop.

There is a whole box of begonia flower-shaped jewelry, including white jade, emerald, gold and silver, rare bloodstone, red coral...

Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, hairpin rings, and hairpins are classified into categories and placed in each small grid.

"Oh my God!"

Chunniang felt that her eyes were not enough. The jewels, not to mention the value must be more than 10,000 taels, just the style. Taking the name of Li Haitang is enough to show the intention of the giver.

"Haitang, if I knew the value of the things in the box, I would have to ask some bodyguards to **** them over."

Chun Niang twitched the corners of her mouth, her heart beating faster, thanks to the fact that no one else knew that she was carrying valuables, otherwise she would be robbed, even if she was sold, she would not be able to pay for it.

"There's another box, open it quickly!"

Chunniang forced herself to calm down. After traveling all these years, it's not that she has never seen the world.

Li Haitang blinked, held his breath, and opened another small box.

Golden scissors, golden needles, a dagger, a set of tools, these...

"what is this?"

Compared with the jewelry, these things are so thoughtless, Chunniang was stunned.

"It's a tool I use to practice medicine."

In an instant, Li Haitang hugged the small box into his arms, as if he had found a treasure. She only mentioned these things once, and drew a sketch. Later, the sketch disappeared, and she didn't take it seriously.

It was him, it was Xiao Lingchuan, he kept everything in his heart.

Li Haitang couldn't believe that after so long after he left, she still received the surprise he gave her. These things look inconspicuous, but they are carefully crafted. All the jewelry, even medical tools, cannot be made in a hurry within ten days and half a month.
