"It's really an incredible message. Mother will take you back in a while."

Osmanthus fragrans briefly explained the news brought by Chang Yang Hong. She wondered how anyone knew that her family grew herbs?
Cardamom was also puzzled. Normally, the village is far away from the city, and the location is still unknown. It is impossible for people to find it so easily.

"Did they inquire about our family from others?"

"Mother, don't think too much about it, maybe I heard the news from Baiweitang," Dou Kou turned and went back to the backyard, and came out wearing a padded jacket in a while, and wanted to go out for a while.

"Where are you going?" Osmanthus was willing to let the child rest for a while to catch up on sleep, and she didn't want her to run around all day. She was like an adult at a young age, and she took everything on herself.

Cardamom could read the pain in her mother's eyes. Although she was very tired, but thinking about the future, she still gritted her teeth and said with a faint smile, "I'll go to Bai's Medicine Store."

Osmanthus fragrans told the child to come back early, Cardamom agreed and went out.

After Bai Xinghe left, she heard some things, about the Bai family being suppressed by the emperor, not only disintegrating the Bai family in terms of power, but also starting to squeeze out and suppress the Bai family in terms of business.

The elder brother who loved Bai Xinghe the most, was sent to the front to lead the army even though he was blind. Even the Hong family was implicated along with the Bai family. Well, the days of the Bai family's monopoly on medicinal materials are over, and this year, the production of herbal medicines she supplies has indeed been reduced accordingly.

At this juncture, is it a coincidence that a businessman who went to the fields to buy medicinal materials popped up?

If not, where did these businessmen get the exact location of her house?
You have to go to Bai's Medicine Store to find out.

There are still people coming and going outside the Baijia Pharmaceutical Store, but the faces of these suppliers are not the high spirits of last year, but the gloomy clouds.

The doorman who knew Doukou well at the door also sighed, seeing Doukou coming, he quickly stood up straight and respectfully called out, "Miss Doukou."

Cardamom smiled softly, "I want to find the manager, is he there?"

"Yes, yes, I will take Miss Cardamom in."

Cardamom is young and knows how to respect servants, so he has won many hearts in this Baijia medicine shop. No matter who it is, as long as Cardamom begs them, he will definitely get things done. .

"The butler was going to the workshop to see the finished products of the medicinal materials in the morning, but something got stuck, and he hasn't left the house yet." The guard said enthusiastically, taking this coincidence as God helped Cardamom.

"Have any foreign businessmen come to your door recently?"

The guard thought for a while, and came back and forth with the same old faces from last year, "No, it's still the same group of old people, but this year's spring people didn't come, so it was supposed to come to get the planting list, but it's June now, last year dozens of Only a dozen have come so far.”

Cardamom was taken aback, the number of merchants who supplied the goods had decreased by several percent, and the medicinal materials ordered had also been cut in half. It seemed that the business in Shengjing might be hurting.

"It's just around the corner, but the housekeeper doesn't allow us to approach that yard, so we can only bring Miss Cardamom here," the guard smiled apologetically.

After Cardamom thanked her, she walked alone through the deserted corridor to find the housekeeper.

After Bai Xinghe left, the old butler of the Bai family came to take over here. He must be a close friend, so he would entrust such an important land boundary business to this person. She only visited once when the butler came, and there was nothing special after that. Things, so there is not too much intersection.

Cardamom just stood outside the courtyard gate when she heard an old man's voice from inside, "Come in."

At an old age, but with a voice not inferior to that of a young man, Dou Ko respectfully replied "Yes."

The door was ajar, Cardamom opened it with a light push, walked in, and saw a white-haired old man sitting under the stone table in the yard, drinking tea leisurely.

After Cardamom entered the door, the old man turned around to wash and make tea, and let Cardamom sit freely.

How dare she really sit casually, seeing a wooden bench under the pear tree, trotted over, moved it to the old man, and sat down.

The butler was still drinking tea, and seemed to have paid no attention to Cardamom from the beginning to the end. In fact, he had been paying attention to Cardamom's every move, including her carefully moving the small stool to sit on him. He saw all of this.

"I also have a granddaughter your age in Shengjing, who is as well-behaved and sensible as you."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Cardamom put her heart in her stomach. She was a little afraid of this unassuming housekeeper. She dared not play tricks in front of him, so she shouted respectfully, " Grandpa, I came here today to find you something."

The butler took a sip of tea and said, "This is the first spring tea this year. It tastes good. Do you want to try it, girl?"

Cardamom shook her head, thinking what time it is now, she is not in a hurry to drink tea.

Seeing the flickering depression on this girl's face, the butler laughed loudly, "You girl, you go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, tell me, why are you here today?"

He was waiting for the carrier pigeon from Shengjing today, so he hasn't gone out until now, so he is destined to be with this girl.

Cardamom bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and said, "A wave of merchants came to my field this morning to collect herbs."

The old man saw that she was waiting to catch him in the middle of her words, and said with a smile, "You girl, you are really a big kid, no wonder that child Xinghe told me."

When the words were made clear, Doukou pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled, and said, "You are not surprised at all, you must know the origin of this wave of people."

The old man stroked his beard that was as white as his hair, and said with a smile, "I know. This group of people has sprung up like mushrooms after the Bai family was suppressed, and they will open a branch in the same place for any name of the Bai family." No. But what are you worried about, girl? Although the medicinal materials have been halved this year, for you, the purchase price has increased, so there should be no loss."

This was specifically instructed by Bai Xinghe, the medicinal materials of the girl Cardamom's family not only declined, but also increased.

Dougao is very grateful to Bai Xinghe for taking care of her. It is because of Bai Xinghe's care that Doukou feels that he owes him a favor. She is unwilling to owe anyone a favor, so nothing happens to Bai Xinghe, otherwise this favor will be lost in her life. There is no way to pay it back.

"Yes, it has no impact on our family, so I just wanted to find an opportunity to repay Mr. Bai. I heard some gossip before that Mr. Bai went to the battlefield. Now there is a new wave of medicinal material merchants coming to grab the business of the Bai family, so I feel a little bit worried. Worry."

The forces behind such a grandiose snatching of the business territory from the Bai family should not be underestimated, so the Bai family must be struggling to support it under the storm.
