Gu Xi put down the little peach, gave the children a few more words, and then walked towards Grandma Li who had been waiting for a long time.

Several people went to Grandma Li's room.

"Mammy, what do you think of that real daughter?" Gu Xi asked Grandma Li.

Grandma Li was originally a criminal slave in the official family. She was imprisoned because of her family's crimes and was assigned to the Department of Education. She grew up there.

Five years ago, the emperor granted a general amnesty to the world, and Grandma Li was released from the Department of Education. She was taken in by Gu Xi, and he recognized her as his master.

Although Grandma Li was a sin slave, she received instruction from the Education Department and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knew the rules and etiquette in the palace. When Gu Xi took her in, she said she had found a treasure.

Aunt Li is the current housekeeper of Nianci Hall, and Gu Xi trusts her very much.

"Since the young lady asked, I will tell you everything." Grandma Li smiled and continued,

"I think this real daughter is very strange. She doesn't look like someone who grew up in the countryside and suffered hardships, because her eyes are bright, confident, and she has a sense of superiority.

I really don’t understand where her sense of superiority comes from.

It's obvious that she is ambitious and clever, and she pretends to be weak and harmless. She is not a kind-hearted and simple person. Miss, you have to be careful about her."

When Gu Xi heard these words, she couldn't help but sigh that ginger is still hotter when she is older.

After hearing what Grandma Li said, Qiuzhi was even more shocked and couldn't help but ask,

"Mommy, what do you think this young lady from the country wants to do when she comes to Nianci Hall today?"

"I guess maybe she wants to give herself a good reputation as a kind-hearted person," said Grandma Li.

"Making fame for herself is one thing. She should also want to bribe the children and ask them to do things for her." Gu Xi continued,

"They are a group of orphans, without fathers or mothers, without worries. They are the best intelligence spies and the best candidates for assassins."

Just wanting to train them cannot be done overnight, and it requires a huge amount of money and effort.

Although Gu Xi's original intention of sponsoring Nian Ci Tang was not to train them to be spies, she taught them literacy, arithmetic, miscellaneous studies, and even kung fu, and indeed trained them into talents.

"Bah! She is dreaming! Children will only be loyal to the lady!"

Gu Xi said lazily, "Well, she did do it in the dream."

-

Later, Gu Xi wrote down the prescriptions for golden sore medicine and scar removal cream, and gave them to Grandma Li.

"Mommy, tomorrow you will send someone to buy a large amount of medicinal materials and send them to the workshop next door. Let them make the golden sore medicine and scar removal ointment according to this recipe. Once they are made, they will not be sold to the outside world, but will be kept for now.

Gu Xi sternly told her not to disclose the prescription to others.

Seeing her cautious attitude, Grandma Li nodded seriously.

"Master, don't worry, the people in the workshop next door are all from our Nianci Hall. They are loyal and will not leak anything."

The current location of Nianci Hall is the house bought by Gu Xi. She also bought the house next door at that time.

This is for children to live and study daily, and the building next door has been transformed into several workshops, including a medicine hall for making pills, a workshop for making rouge and gouache, and a wood workshop.

These workshops are, firstly, to make money for Nianci Tang, and secondly, they are to find a place for children to work and learn skills.

Gu Xi took the opportunity to ask about the situation of several workshops, and was relieved to learn that everything was normal and there was no turmoil due to changes in her life experience.

"Mommy, Mommy, it's not good. Heiwa was practicing plum blossom pile just now and fell from it and his foot was sprained."

At this time, shouting came from outside.

"Miss, I'm going to get some medicinal wine for bruises and rub it on Hei Wa." Aunt Li said to Gu Xi.

"You can use this blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment to treat bruises. The effect should be better than medicinal wine."

Gu Xi said, taking out the reward she got for hitting Gu Rong in the face.

It’s the bottle of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment that was hidden by the system in Prince Ning’s bed.

Just give it a try and see if the system is awesome.

Aunt Li took it over with a smile,

"The lady said that the effect is good, so it is definitely good. If the lady is thinking about it, these children will be blessed."

Gu Xi modestly said, "It has nothing to do with me, it was given by someone else."

Gu Rong is really the source of her wealth.

From this point of view, she doesn't hate Gu Rong that much anymore.

After all, she often gives herself good things.

-

Hei Wa's feet were swollen so high that it hurt when he moved. However, the child was very strong and kept silent, trying to endure the pain and continue practicing.

Seeing Gu Xi coming to visit him, Hei Wa's little dark face turned red with joy.

After he used the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment given by Gu Xi, he felt even more beautiful, and his feet didn't seem to hurt at all.

"Hei Wa, does it still hurt? Move a little." Gu Xi pinched the sprained area.

Gu Xi observed carefully, and after applying ointment, Hei Wa's swollen insteps were visibly reduced to the naked eye.

The system really didn’t brag.

What a good thing!

Unfortunately, there is no prescription. I don’t know if I can get a prescription in the future.

Heiwa moved his feet a little and found that it really didn't hurt anymore!

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all! Sister Xi, you are so awesome!"

Hei Wa jumped up and shouted happily.

He admires Sister Xi even more!

In the past, when I hurt my foot, it would take at least five or six days for the pain to go away, but now I put medicine on it and it doesn’t hurt anymore.

It's amazing.

Sister Xi is indeed their fairy sister!

When the other children saw that Hei Wa was fine immediately, they were all amazed and looked at Gu Xi with admiration.

All have starry eyes.

Gu Xi's face was bloody due to being cute.

Who can withstand this? I really want to give them all the good things.

The next moment, the system page popped up again.

[Ding! The task of protecting the children has been completed and the rewards have been distributed, please check]

Gu Xi felt a weight in her sleeve, and the small medicine bottle arrived.

This time the system is finally reliable and there is no mess.

-

After coming out of Nianci Hall, Gu Xi went to Balsam Shop, her shop that sells rouge and gouache.

Compared with three years ago, the Balsam Shop's shop has more than doubled in size. In addition to selling rouge and gouache, it also sells other female products, such as various embroideries, jewelry, etc.

The embroidery that Chunzhi makes on weekdays and the rag dolls that Xia Zhi makes are all sold here.

Chunzhi's embroidery is of good quality and unique patterns, making it very popular.

Xiazhi's dolls can be sold for ten taels each, and are extremely popular. They are sold out as soon as they are put on display.

After all, the people who patronize this place are either ladies from wealthy families or dignitaries, and they don’t care about the ten taels of silver.

On weekdays, the store's business is very good, with people coming and going, but today, because the store has launched new products, there is a queue at the door, rushing to buy a new set of rouge.

Gu Xi entered the shop through the back door and went to the lounge on the second floor.

When the female shopkeeper heard that Gu Xi was coming, she quickly got up from the busy counter, left the work to her apprentice, and went to greet Gu Xi herself.

"Master, you're here." The female shopkeeper looked at Gu Xi with a smile and noticed her change, but she didn't say much, she just said,

"Seeing that my boss looks good, I feel relieved."

"I'm tired, Aunt Shuang, I'm worried." Gu Xi sat completely different from the upright posture she used to, and slumped lazily on the couch, waving her hands and saying,

"I just came here to have a rest. I see it's very busy down there. Aunt Shuang will go and do the work first. We can talk after the work is done."

Gu Xi planned to take out a few rouge and gouache formulas given by the system to Aunt Shuang, and then expand the profits of the balsam shop.

If you don’t make money, you’d be a fool.

What's more, if she wants to enjoy life, money is even more essential!

The female shopkeeper, Li Yushuang, looked at Gu Xi's lazy look and was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile,

"Then I'll have the account books delivered so that my boss can take a look?"

"Don't look at it." Gu Xi completely lay down and said, "I have complete trust in Aunt Shuang. I won't read the account books from now on. Aunt Shuang will just deposit the money into the bank regularly."
