When passing by the market near Li Mansion, Su Xiaoxi stopped the carriage.

She remembered her previous life. Every weekend, she would go to the market to sell some things for her family to improve their meals.

However, there has never been a time like today when she wanted to go in and see what was going on.

After all, the sky is very gloomy today, and a storm seems to be coming.

Su Xiaoxi opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, looking up at the market in front of her.

This is the most prosperous area in the capital. On weekdays, there are a lot of people, but today, there are almost no people.

Su Xiaoxi looked around, wondering what had happened. Why were there so few people today?

"Shopkeeper, what happened to the market today? Why aren't there any customers?"

When the shopkeeper who was greeting the customers heard the sound, he immediately turned and walked towards Su Xiaoxi.

When he saw the person standing at the door clearly, the shopkeeper put a smile on his face and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He said respectfully: "It turns out to be Miss Su. What a coincidence. Are you coming to the market too?"

"Shopkeeper, why is the market so depressed today?" Su Xiaoxi asked in confusion.

"Well, to tell you the truth, our shop will be closed for three days today!" As he said this, the shopkeeper sighed.

"Why?" Su Xiaoxi asked, having an inexplicable premonition.

The shopkeeper sighed again and said, "Hey, don't mention it!"

"Shopkeeper, tell me what happened?" Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but grabbed the shopkeeper's arm and asked, "Tell me what happened, I want to know!"

Seeing Su Xiaoxi's insistence, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but sighed and said, "It's the Li family."

"Oh? What's going on?" Su Xiaoxi asked doubtfully.

The shopkeeper sighed again, "I don't know the specific servant. I only know that this incident caused such a fuss that even the palace was alarmed. The emperor sent the imperial doctor to investigate the case."

"What does the imperial doctor's investigation have to do with us ordinary people?" Su Xiaoxi was confused.

The imperial doctor was handling the case, and she had no way to interfere, let alone know.

The shopkeeper sighed again, "It is said that this case has some involvement with the Prime Minister's family..."

"Prime Minister?"

"Yes, we ordinary people like us don't know the specific details, but according to rumors, the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion died under strange circumstances!"

"is it?"

"That's right! The prime minister himself is just a scholar, and his family has no influence at all. But this time, the emperor actually gave the daughter of the Li family a marriage to the prime minister's son. It is simply incredible."

Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "So, this Miss Li is not a simple character?"

"That's not true. Miss Li Xin'er of the Li family is not an ordinary girl. How can a young lady from the Shangshu Mansion marry someone just like that!"

At this point, the shopkeeper paused, as if he thought there was a possibility, and continued: "I heard that it was because Mrs. Li had a quarrel with the Prime Minister and then fainted. The Emperor was worried that the Prime Minister was not taking good care of him, so he sent Li to the hospital. The young lady is planning to marry into the Li family."

"No wonder, let me tell you, it was such a coincidence." Su Xiaoxi muttered, thinking to herself that Mrs. Li was really a fool for daring to quarrel with the emperor.

"Poor Miss Li, I heard she almost died yesterday." The shopkeeper expressed regret.

"Haha, she deserves it. Who allowed her to be arrogant and domineering, taking advantage of her status to do random things." Su Xiaoxi sneered. Li Xin'er's fate was not worthy of sympathy.

"Hey, poor people must be hateful." The shopkeeper sighed softly.

"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. I'm going to buy groceries first." Su Xiaoxi patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, don't worry, girl." The shopkeeper suddenly called out to Su Xiaoxi, and then pulled Su Xiaoxi to a wooden board placed next to him.

The words "medicinal materials for sale" are written on this wooden board.

The shopkeeper pointed to the words on it and said to Su Xiaoxi, "Girl, just tell me what you need."

"Shopkeeper, what kind of herbs do you have in your medicine?"

"There are all kinds. If the price is right, we will buy them all."

"Okay, introduce it to me and see where these medicinal materials come from." Su Xiaoxi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately began to introduce medicinal materials to Su Xiaoxi.

"Girl, this is snow lotus, this is purple ganoderma, and this is..."

An hour later, Su Xiaoxi got a snow lotus in a rectangular box, a purple ganoderma and several other medicinal materials.

Looking at these precious medicinal materials, Su Xiaoxi smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that this drug store is really good, and these rare quality medicinal materials can be obtained.

This drug store is definitely a good opportunity to make money. Su Xiaoxi decided to buy this drug store. After it opens, she can focus on developing poisons.

"Shopkeeper, count the money for me." Su Xiaoxi took out her purse, took out all the remaining copper plates and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Girl, what are you doing?" the shopkeeper refused. "Girl, you saved the owner of our pharmacy and saved a life for us. How can we still accept your money? Take it back quickly. "The shopkeeper dissuaded me.

"Shopkeeper, you are out of touch when you say that. I just heard you say that the business of this store is not good. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid this drug store would have ceased to exist. This money is just a small effort. I hope the shopkeeper won’t refuse.” Su Xiaoxi said sincerely, “If the shopkeeper doesn’t want it, I’ll just give it to the shopkeeper, since I don’t need the money now anyway.”

"Then, this is my thank you gift to the girl." The shopkeeper smiled and took the banknote from Su Xiaoxi's hand.

"Then little lady, I would like to thank the shopkeeper. If there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with the shopkeeper again in the future." Su Xiaoxi smiled.

"Definitely, definitely." said the shopkeeper.

After Su Xiaoxi paid the silver, she carried the things she bought and walked towards home.

Along the way, Su Xiaoxi had a smile on her lips. Looking at the things in her hands, Su Xiaoxi felt particularly comfortable.

These were all bought by her today.

Humming a happy tune all the way back to the house, I saw Lu Yuyan and Yang Yuanfan waiting at the door of the courtyard from a distance.

When Lu Yuyan saw Su Xiaoxi coming back, she hurriedly greeted her and took Su Xiaoxi's basket.

"Xiao Xi, have you bought it?"

Lu Yuyan looked at the bamboo basket in Su Xiaoxi's hand and asked.

"Yes." Su Xiaoxi responded, her eyes falling on Lu Yuyan.

During this time, Lu Yuyan has been helping Su Xiaoxi manage the drug store, and at the same time, she is also helping Su Xiaoxi study the rouge gouache.

This is Su Xiaoxi's next plan. She is planning to open her own Zuixianglou and Rouge Gouache shops.

"Then let's go into the house and talk." Lu Yuyan said.
