On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

It wasn't until dinner time that Yan Ruyu noticed that Ma Liyu hadn't come back.

She accidentally asked other officials, and as she expected, they didn't know what Ma Liyu was doing.

Yan Ruyu became more and more certain that the person Ma Liyu wanted to meet must be the purpose of his coming to the northwest.

That's all, Yan Ruyu ordered to keep some of each ingredient. Not only Ma Liyu, the abbot, Song Ping, and Yin Ding have not returned yet.

It will probably be busy over there for a while.

Everyone sat at several tables, enjoying themselves in the ice and snow. Everyone was smiling and spontaneously came to Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe to propose a toast.

Especially that group of "Women's Army", their eyes were red.

"Princess, we saw those exiled people today. Women's lives are really miserable. They...thank you to the princess. Otherwise, even if we don't die on the way, we will still be unable to survive here."

"You not only saved our lives, but also changed our lives. We can make money on our own with our own hands. Princess, you gave us the confidence."

"To the princess!"

"To the princess!"

Yan Ruyu also raised her glass: "First of all, you must be good enough so that I can give you appropriate guidance and help. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to carve out rotten wood."

"The days are still long in the future," Yan Ruyu said with a loud voice and a gentle and firm smile. "We still have to settle down here, buy property, and live a good life. As long as everyone works together, it will only get better and better."

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as the prince and I are here, no one will be bullied. We will definitely live a good and stable life here."

Everyone stood up and held their wine glasses: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Lord!"

After drinking, Huo Changhe asked everyone to sit down and eat. Huo Zhongmao stood up and brought the cup close to him.

"Prince, Princess, I haven't reported it yet." His voice was loud and clear, and everyone present could hear clearly, "The Princess asked me to take stock of the business and inventory on hand, and then met and talked with the shopkeepers of the Qian family. They They are very interested in our stuff.”

He took out a few pages of paper and an account book from his arms: "This is the order form that each shopkeeper placed for us."

"Your Majesty, Princess, everyone, after these two days, we have settled down and we will get busy!"

Everyone looked happy. This is really a great thing. If you have work and business, you can make money.

Huo Zhongmao handed the things to Yan Ruyu with both hands: "Princess, please take a look."

Yan Ruyu took it and turned it over briefly: "This is our first business with them. We must handle it properly. It's okay to go slower. We must ensure the quality."

"Yes, I will definitely remember it and strictly control it." Huo Zhongmao said solemnly.

Huo Changxu also stepped forward: "Sister-in-law, I have found a shop and am planning to start the Four Treasures of the Study business. If it is feasible, if the shop gets bigger in the next year, we can use it as a bookstore and we can publish books by ourselves."

Yan Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Okay, Changxu, do your best and just be bold and bold. If you continue to run a bookstore next year, I will give you another big gift."

Huo Changxu's eyes lit up: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Yan Ruyu said it was a big gift, so it must be something good.

Huo Changheng blinked: "Sister-in-law, do you have my gift?"

Rui Geer also followed suit and said with a milky voice: "And me."

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, yes, yes."

After sitting down again, several jars of wine were served. The women drank fruit wine, and the children drank milk and juice.

Yan Ruyu looked at the wine glass and another idea came to her mind. She whispered to Huo Changhe: "Your Highness, take a closer look and see who the drinker is the best."

"Not only do you have to be a good drinker, but you also have to taste good wine, be able to taste wine, and be a connoisseur. You don't want to be an alcoholic."

When Huo Changhe heard what she said, he expected that she would be useful.

"Okay, I'll help you find it."

Amidst the laughter and steaming heat, Yan Ruyu glanced at Ma Liyu's seat, but it was still empty.

When he was almost done eating, figures flashed in the courtyard and Ma Liyu came back.

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Ruyu saw that something was wrong with his expression. Huo Changhe immediately got up and went outside with him.

Not long after, Huo Changhe stood at the door of the house and took a look at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu immediately spoke to the eldest lady, got up and came outside.

Others didn't notice.

"What happened?"

Ma Liyu was covered in sweat, and he cupped his hands and said, "Princess, please, Princess, can you help me save someone?"

Yan Ruyu said seriously: "Sick or injured?"

"Injured," Ma Liyu pursed his lips, "I was kicked by a horse."

Yan Ruyu knew that the situation was urgent and saving people was like putting out fire: "Okay."

She said no more and let Ma Liyu lead the way. Ma Liyu drove directly to the scene of the accident.

Yan Ruyu guessed that this person must be very important to him, but he didn't know how heavy and where the injury was.

Huo Changhe held her hand tightly: "There is no need to put too much pressure on me. Mr. Ma is also a reasonable person, so just do your best."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "I understand."

The carriage went further and further away, and when it reached an alley, it couldn't get in at all.

"Sorry, Princess, I can only ask you to walk a short distance."

The alley was deep and dark. Seeing Huo Changhe's serious expression, Ma Liyu quickly explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will happen. It's just a bit off and narrow here."

"Yes," Huo Changhe nodded slightly, "lead the way."

Ma Liyu walked in front, while Huo Changhe held Yan Ruyu's hand and followed behind him, with his other hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

The three of them were walking, and the sound of footsteps in the quiet alley was particularly clear.

"What is this place?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"This is where a relative of mine lives," Ma Liyu didn't hide it. "They have little money, so they can only live in this kind of place. They have to save this money for a long time, otherwise they would still live in a resettlement shed."

Almost at the end, Ma Liyu stopped and pushed open a door.

The door is narrow and the wooden door creaks.

There was the sound of footsteps in the yard, and someone came up with a dim lantern.

"Second brother?"

"It's me," Ma Liyu replied in a low voice.

When the visitors saw that he had brought people, they didn't ask any questions and led them inside with a lantern.

The courtyard is also quite small, with only two entrances, one for meeting guests outside and the other for living quarters.

Arriving in the backyard, Yan Ruyu discovered that there were many people standing in the yard, people of all ages, wearing old cotton-padded clothes of various colors, and some were patched.

The same look is anxious and worried.

Yan Ruyu also found that their postures were upright, and although they were poor, their backs were not bent.

She and Huo Changhe looked at each other and understood.

There was an old woman standing in the middle of the row in front. She was about seventy years old, with gray hair and wrinkled skin. She stood there silently, like a skinny bamboo, staring at the window with yellowish light.

Some in the crowd sighed, and others began to sob quietly.

The old woman turned her head, her eyes desolate and pitiful: "Don't cry! Tears are useless, cheer up!"

When the crying stopped, Ma Liyu walked to the old woman and was about to speak when the door opened.
