Chapter 198 The Royal Gift
In the city of Kyoto, the ensuing heavy snow blocking the mountains, lack of food, and illnesses weighed heavily on the royal family, and the lower-ranking civilians couldn't breathe, only feeling extremely depressed.

But today, bursts of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the city.

It didn't take long for everyone in the capital to know that Liuheting, which donated food and saved countless victims, was rewarded by the emperor's decree.

It is said that the reward includes gold and silver, praise, and more importantly, two plaques from the imperial court: one is written "Hanging pot to help the world"; the other is written "House of good deeds".

This is the first one in Nanning to be rewarded with two plaques at the same time.

However, those who heard the news had no way to refute it, they just felt that they deserved it.

Anyone who can think a little bit knows that with these two plaques and the aspirations of the people, Liuhe Court has not only gained a firm foothold in the capital city, but the people in this city will be regarded as officials. The family also has to respect Liu Heting three points.

Xia He and Xia Tingquan were very happy, and when they sent away the messengers in the palace, they immediately rewarded everyone in Liuhe Court with five taels of silver for each person in charge, and two taels of silver for each of the rest.

"So, Liu He Ting finally has a place in the capital." Hu Lao still felt like a dream until now.

"The old tiger has worked hard these days." Xia He and Xia Tingquan saluted the old tiger.

Hu Lao didn't expect them to be like this at all, so he avoided them quickly. "Master, miss, you can't do it, you can't do it, isn't this old slave Zhesha?"

"Hu Lao, since the establishment of Liuhe Court, we have been relying on you, Lao Hu. After discussing with my sister, I plan to give you the income of the old pharmacy and grain shop at the end of the year. [-]% for dividends." Xia Tingquan told Hu Lao about the decision he and Xia He had discussed in advance.

Tiger Lao was quite frightened. "How can this be done. What the old slave did was just my job. It's not worth it for the young master and miss."

"Old Hu, take what is given to you, and don't alienate us. If you don't accept it, it will be our turn to be unreasonable." Xia He already knew that Elder Hu would react in this way. "Old Hu, you have to think more about Hu Yun, if not for yourself."

When it comes to Hu Yun, Hu Lao won't accept it. "Miss, you have saved my life and Hu Yun's. We are able to follow the young master and miss. It is our blessing and a great fortune."

Xia Tingquan and Xia He persuaded him a little more, seeing that he was so persistent, they stopped persuading him for too long, and decided to save the money for him first, and in the future Hu Yun would belong to her as a dowry.

Since there was still an auction in the evening, Xia He and Xia Tingquan were not in a hurry to return to Zhongyi Bo's Mansion.

When it was time for Shen Shi, the two tidied up, Xia He changed into men's clothes, Xia Tingquan put on a beard, and then they all got into the carriage that Ye Jiu came to pick them up.

This was the first time Xia Tingquan got in Ye Jiu's carriage, and the owner was also in the carriage, which made him extremely embarrassed.

In a panic, he only felt that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he didn't even dare to glance around.

Ye Jiu and Xia He looked at each other, and Xia He interpreted the message from his eyes: Why does your brother want to get in my car today?

Xia He gave him a "I don't know" look.

Soon, the two discovered Xia Tingquan's discomfort.In order to ease his discomfort, Xia He kept talking along the way.

Xia Tingquan looked at Xia He several times, and secretly glanced at Ye Jiu several times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it every time.

Seeing him like this, Ye Jiu became more alert.

Xia He was also confused, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. "Brother Quan, what's the matter with you?"

Xia Tingquan leaned back, pretending not to understand. "What's wrong?"

Xia He choked on his words.

Seeing that he really didn't want to answer himself, Xia He didn't ask any more.

She thought to herself that since Ye Jiu was in the car, it would be inconvenient for her to break the casserole and ask him to the end. She would interrogate him when she returned to the mansion.

The three of them arrived at the auction house, it was still early, and the treasurer of the auction house personally led them to Ye Jiu's wing.

Until now, Xia Tingquan didn't know that the auction house actually belonged to Ye Jiu.

He always thought that this sick chicken would just sit at home and wait to die, but he didn't expect that he actually had a living property in his hand.

"Aren't you in poor health? How do you manage this place on weekdays?" Ye Jiu asked casually as he went to fetch a teacup.

Ye Jiu glanced at him and replied. "When there are major decisions, they will ask me, and the rest of the time I will only be responsible for checking the accounts."

"That's it?" Xia Tingquan didn't believe it.

"Otherwise?" Ye Jiu glanced at him again. "I have so many things in my hands, and I'm not in good health. How much do you think I can focus on it?"

Xia Tingquan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

Seeing him like this, Ye Jiu thought that no matter what, this guy would be his brother-in-law in the future, so she was willing to mention him a thing or two. "I just need to have the ability to know and employ people."

Know people?employment?
Xia Tingquan pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly the figure of Hu Lao flashed across his mind.

Yes, isn't Tiger Lao the best example?
In meditation, the auction has already started.From the beginning to the end of this auction, when Xia Tingquan had something he didn't understand, was confused, or didn't understand, Ye Jiu would answer him one by one, and the auction items would also tell him the root cause.

After an auction, Xia Tingquan's impression of Ye Jiu changed a lot. He felt that he was a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person, completely different from those princes and brothers he knew.

Of course, what pleased him the most was that the three medicines that Xia He took out were bought at a high price of 23 taels.

In particular, the poison that sold for 11 taels made Xia Tingquan find it hard to describe.

Xia He smiled like a satisfied cat, and left a sentence crisply. "There are people in this world who are stupid and have a lot of money."

Xia Tingquan gave her a white look. "If your buyers know about it, they will definitely be pissed off."

"How could it be! They will never know that I said that." Seeing that Xia Tingquan gave him a contemptuous look, Xia He changed his words. "Well, we're just taking what we need. They just happen to need it, and I just have it."

After Xia He finished speaking, he turned to Ye Jiu instead of looking at Xia Tingquan this time.

Ye Jiu knew that she was asking herself for an agreement, so she smiled dotingly. "That's the truth. A Zhuyan Pill and a Wangqing Pill, these two kinds of pills are highly sought after by people in the world. If you are not worried about their efficacy, I'm afraid there will be another sky-high price."

Xia He smiled appreciatively at Ye Jiu. "You still know the goods."
