Chapter 178: Want My Daughter to Study Medicine (Second Upda

al piety gifts from her side. Where did the silver for filial piety come from A thorough investigation would reveal the truth.”Zhao San's tongue clicked. This kind of in-law relationship was indeed ha...After finishing his work, Xu Huaiyi got covered in dirt. He first went for a shower and after coming out in his pajamas, he circled those ten or so flower pots with fascination, muttering to himself, “These are all made of silver.”

Gu Huanxi leaned against the bed, engrossed in browsing movies on her computer, completely ignoring his words.

Beside her, Arli slept soundly.

Xu Huaiyi came over and carefully picked up his daughter, kissing her several times. "She's not just our little cotton jacket or angel, she's also our lucky charm."

Gu Huanxi reminds, "He's still a little demon star who treats people."

Thinking of his daughter's boundless energy when she was awake, Xu Huaiyi felt a bit intimidated. He quickly and carefully put down the [something], he still wanted to enjoy some quality time with his wife.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of this deal"

"Aren't you already set on it"

"Well, that would need your approval too."

Gu Huanxi turned her head to look at him, "Do you want to sell them to Qizhen Pavilion"

Xu Huaiyi nodded without hesitation, "That shopkeeper may have someone watching me, but there's nothing wrong with doing business. The things in the shop are all rare and unusual items. Our flowers, though, barely count, right That shopkeeper will definitely be interested. And it's winter now, the perfect time for them to shine."

"Aren't you afraid the shopkeeper will check on you again"

"Disguise and impersonation, it's easy anyway. The tailers I left behind won't be able to find me no matter how hard they try."

"How much do you want to sell it for"

Xu Huaiyi pondered, "It is said that rare flowers can be sold for thousands of gold. Some orchids and peonies can fetch hundreds of taels. Our flowers won't sell for hundreds of taels, I'd be satisfied if we could sell them for dozens of taels a pot. What do you think"

I think you're being too greedy.

"Hee hee, just started selling, there isn't anything like it on the market. This unique buy and sell is definitely going to be priced high. Later on, it will naturally become cheaper."

Gu Huanxi's meaningful reminder, "This kind of flower, you can't have too much."

Xu Huaiyi reacted, "You're right, scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many on the market, wouldn't those who bought earlier be angry So we can't cultivate too many, oh my, wouldn't that make the deal a foregone conclusion"

Gu Huanxi hummed with a smile, "You understand."

So, to depend on this for getting rich is impossible.

Xu Huaiyi deflated and collapsed onto the bed, but after a while, he excitedly sat up again. “Wife, I’ve thought of a business deal that’s not a simple one-time purchase.”

Gu Huanxi curiously asked, "What"

Xu Huaiyi excitedly said, "We plant medicinal herbs, we plant the rare and precious ones. For example, ginseng, planted in the car, wouldn't raise suspicion. Watering it with our daughter's tears can greatly shorten the time. A hundred-year-old ginseng might be harvested in a few months."

Gu was lost in thought, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Xu Huaiyi continued to brainwash her, saying, " Ginseng is not afraid of being too many on the market. We can sell it openly to pharmacies, just say we dug it in the mountains. Whoever envies us can go into the mountains themselves. Besides, ginseng can cure diseases and save people. This kind of business can not only make money but also accumulate merit."

Gu Huanxi was moved by him and said, "We can give it a try. If we can find seeds or seedlings of other rare medicinal herbs, we can also plant them."

Xu Huaiyi readily agreed, saying, "I'll go look for it right away."

Gu Huanxi glanced at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, an idea struck her, "What if we let A Li learn medicine in the future She has this golden finger, it would be a shame not to use it."

They can only grow medicinal herbs, but if their daughter learns medicine, she will be able to directly use her tears in prescriptions to treat people in the future, which would have a greater effect.

Besides, studying medicine can help women establish themselves in this world. Talented people, regardless of gender, will be respected by everyone.

Xu Huaiyi subconsciously said, "It's said that those who persuade others to study medicine will be struck by lightning."

Gu Huanyi, "…"

"Hee hee, just kidding… Actually, I agree. But when A-Li is older, I'll still ask for her opinion. If she's not interested, we can't force her."

Gu Huan nodded, "Of course."

She will definitely respect the child's choice.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi gave the silver to Hu Village Chief and returned the estate to his daughter-in-law's name. Then, he immediately began recruiting people to build houses. He didn't need anything fancy, just simple adobe houses would do, but he was very particular about the overall layout.

Looking at the drawings Gu Huanxi made, it was clear he was planning to build a military camp based on those from later periods. It would include barracks, latrines, a mess hall, and even a training ground. The layout was almost a perfect replica.

He was worried that she might overthink, and specially explained, "I think this is easier to manage."

Gu Huan smiled ambiguously and said, "Is that so Then what's the meaning of building so many houses around Didn't you say you were only buying about twenty How many people could possibly live in so many houses"

"Those people might even have families, so we'd have to prepare rooms for their children too. We could keep them on the estate to work after that. What do you think"

Gu Huanxi reminded with a hint of helplessness, "Too many people is a burden for us. It's not a good thing."

“I know, so when I choose people, I try to choose those who don't have much baggage. But if there are special conditions, like Wei Liang's, can I just give up on someone because they have baggage That would be a pity.”

Then you take care of it.

Knowing his wife had given him free reign, Xu Huaiyi knew he could let loose. However, he still had to take the martial arts academy entrance exam tomorrow. Even if he passed and went to school, his free time would be limited. He didn't want to go too far for fear of getting into trouble, so he sought out Xu Maoyuan and asked him to help with the house construction.

The tofu workshop was handed over to Xu Cunzhang, and Xu Huaiyi had once worried that Xu Maoyuan would feel uncomfortable, after all, according to closeness, it should be his elder uncle who took the lead. But at the time, he felt that Xu Maoyuan's character was a bit soft and couldn't handle things, and his clan consciousness was too strong, making it difficult to manage fairly. So he didn't use him. Now it can be considered as compensation.

Xu Maoyuan, after hearing his words, was first surprised, then delighted. He was delighted that his nephew's family business was growing bigger and bigger, and even more delighted by the trust his nephew had in him.

On this arduous journey, Xu Huaiyi often consulted with Elder Xu about matters. Even when present, he rarely had the final say. He wasn't disheartened, but felt a sense of loss. His nephew preferred to be close to outsiders rather than his own uncle, creating a distance and estrangement between them.

Although he is a descendant of the Xu family, and he rose to prominence, earning respect and support, this should have been an honor for the Xu family. However, they couldn't share in his glory because he kept his distance from them.

As the head of the Xu family, how could he not be distressed

But no matter how much he suffered, he also knew that he couldn't control Xu Huaiyi. The other party had already become the son-in-law of the Gu family, a member of the Gu family. He didn't have the face to point fingers at him.

Now, to see him taking the initiative to show kindness, how could Xu Mao Yuan not be excited

After he bowed, he asked several questions in succession.

Xu Huaiyi patiently answered, then handed him a blueprint and fifty taels of silver. "Just follow the blueprint to build it. Take this silver first and use it. If it's not enough, just tell me. As for the manpower to build the house, our village is afraid that we can't spare a few people. We have to use the people from Yuanhu Village."re bluntly, "I'm just here to make money with you. I help you come up with ideas, and that's also how I profit. It has nothing to do with anyone else or anything else. You get face and leverage from t...
