Chapter 180 Lonely Ghost
Chu Xu then remembered, and he said, "There is a war at the border, and the military camp needs a lot of medicinal herbs. You can sell them to the military camp."
Shang Wan thought he was going to say something, but he chuckled and said, "Anian, the medicinal materials in the military camp are purchased by dedicated people, and there are fixed partners, so they usually don't change."
Medicinal materials are related to the life and death of soldiers, so the merchants who choose to cooperate are all trustworthy medicinal material merchants. There is a fixed cooperation model, and unless there are major mistakes, they will generally not be changed.
Chu Xu raised his chin, full of confidence, "With me here, I can convince father and brother."
The child looked serious and really wanted to help.
Shang Wan smiled and rubbed his head with his hand, his voice gentle, "We have already negotiated the conditions for saving you and protecting you, you don't have to do any extra."
"No." Chu Xu shook his head, "It's not a condition."
He did want to help, but he also wanted more of the wounded to survive.
The doctor with the white beard said that good medicinal herbs are hard to come by.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said seriously, "The military camp also needs good medicinal herbs. If you don't sell medicinal herbs, you can sell ointments. The ointment you used on me is very good. If it can be sold to the military camp, it can save many wounded soldiers."
The wound on his back was so severe, but it healed very quickly after applying the ointment, which was much more effective than the custom-made wound medicine in the military camp.
If all wounded soldiers could use such good ointment, their wounds would heal faster and prevent recurrence, and many more people would survive.
Selling ointment?
Shang Wan was stunned. She had never thought of selling the ointment to the military camp.
The demand for ointment in the military camp was indeed great, but after a little thought, she felt that this method was not very feasible.
She had in mind a high price for the ointment, and her target customers were all wealthy people.
At the price of ten taels of silver per box, it is impossible for the military camp to purchase in large quantities. If it is just buying in small quantities, it would be better to cooperate with the clinic and reduce the risk.
If the price is reduced to the same as ordinary ointments, it will not only disrupt the market, but Shang Wan will also suffer losses.
Injuries are common on the battlefield, and a lot of ointments are needed. If we purchase large quantities at a low price from Shang Wan, the spiritual spring water will be used up, and the herbal planting will definitely be affected, which is totally not worth the cost.
If her family was wealthy, she would have the money to squander it, but she was still in the starting phase and could not afford it.
If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.
She is really poor now.
You may not make any profit, but you cannot lose money.
Besides, people’s hearts are often hidden. Just because Chu Xu is a naive child doesn’t mean his family members are naive. What if someone uses their power to threaten her to hand over the so-called ancestral secret recipe?
Forget about favors. In the face of absolute interests, any friendship is useless.
Overall, selling the ointment to the military camp was unnecessary, completely unnecessary, as it had the right time, place and people.
Having made up his mind, Shang Wan met the expectant gaze of the child and could not bear to disappoint him. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his fur, "We'll talk about this after the person who picked you up arrives."
——Find a way to fool them.
Chu Xu thought Shang Wan agreed, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his little face.
The child, feeling that he had accomplished something great, was in a very good mood and took Yuanyuan to play on the swing under the tree.
Shang Wan sighed secretly and winked at Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan understood, and made an excuse to ask Shang Wan to help pack up the cloth and silk threads she had bought, and then she took Shang Wan's arm and went back to the room together.
The door creaked shut and the two of them sat down on the kang.
Xiaohuan picked up the small teapot on the kang table, poured a cup of cold tea, and placed it next to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan held the teacup, waiting for Xiaohuan to speak.
Xiaohuan bit her lip and looked at Shang Wan again and again, her eyes were conflicted and her expression was hesitant.
Shang Wan's already limited patience was gradually exhausted. He tapped the table with his fingers and urged, "Hurry up and tell me. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
Xiao Huan: "Sister, you have to promise me first that you will not leave no matter what I say."
Shang Wan thought to himself, this sounds quite serious, could the person coming be really an enemy?
She said sternly, "You are all here, where can I go? Don't worry too much, just tell me what you know. At worst, we can just stop the enemy with our troops and cover the water with earth."
Hearing this, Xiao Huan seemed to have finally made up her mind. She adjusted her sitting posture, sat more upright, and spoke slowly, speaking cautiously, "Sister, where...are you a wandering ghost?"
Shang Wan: “!”
Oh my god, the vest fell off already?
Because he was too surprised to control his facial expression, a hint of it was revealed.
Xiao Huan stared at Shang Wan without blinking, and hurriedly assured her, "Don't worry, sister. I won't tell anyone else, not even my brother-in-law. Are you..."
"Yes." Shang Wan interrupted her and admitted it.
Anyway, it's all been guessed. After these days of contact, she also knows Xiaohuan's personality. There is no point in hiding it.
Shang Wan admitted it straightforwardly, which actually scared Xiaohuan.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she still covered her mouth in surprise, worried that she would scream out loud because she was too excited.
Shang Wan stared at her curiously: "How did you find out?"
It is true that she disguised herself very carelessly, but even that fox Lu Chengjing only guessed that she had replaced the original Shang Wan in some way and never thought of it as a ghost. How could Xiaohuan guess so accurately?
Xiao Huan calmed herself down and whispered, "After Madam hit her head, Shitou found a cart. When I helped to move Madam onto the cart, I found that she was already dead."
Shang Wan: “…”
It is indeed suspicious for a dead person to suddenly come back to life.
"and then?"
"Then you woke up, and I thought I was wrong, but—"
Xiao Huan paused, looking at Shang Wan with a puzzled look, "I am the young lady's personal maid, I know the young lady's affairs best. The young lady hates rough warriors the most, there is no way they can practice martial arts and be so good at it."
Shang Wan: "...What if I'm just pretending to hate warriors?"
"Impossible." Xiaohuan shook her head firmly. "Your attitude towards your brother-in-law and Yuanyuan is also different. The former Madam was very afraid of the Third Young Master and even said that he was a monster. If the Third Young Master was imprisoned, the most likely thing the Madam would do is to abandon us and run away immediately, instead of trying to rescue the Third Young Master and treat his injuries."
"Also, there are many things you can do that Madam Young Madam doesn't know, and your personalities are completely different, they're not like the same person at all."
Shang Wan: “…”
Well, it turns out she was exposed right from the start.
She couldn't help but look at Xiaohuan with admiration. This girl was surprisingly patient. If she hadn't pressed her, Xiaohuan would probably have kept the matter to herself forever and never told anyone about it.
Shang Wan teased her, "You already said I was a wandering ghost, aren't you afraid that I might harm you?"
"No." Xiaohuan's eyes were firm, and there was even a smile in them. "Even if you are a lonely ghost, you are a good ghost. If it weren't for you, my brother-in-law would have been escorted to the capital and beheaded. I don't know how Shitou and I would have survived with Yuanyuan. We might have starved to death. How could we have the good life we have now?"
