Just as Liu Rushi expected, for the next period of time, all the people from the south continued to rush to the sea city like crucian carp trees crossing the river.

Various celebrities, talents, and socialites not only make Haicheng more lively, but also bring countless halos and cultural atmospheres to Haicheng.

For a time, the Haicheng Hotel was almost full every day, and the inns and "B&B" business around them were also extremely popular, and they were famous poems and famous quotes were revealed from various occasions.

Liu Rushi's mood at this moment is no longer the same as before.

Although she occasionally attends some prosperous occasions, she often gathers with women such as Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen, Chen Yuanyuan, etc., and stays in Xu Changqing's back house. In addition to enjoying the warmth of this family, she also begins to integrate into them, watching and even participating in various performances of the "Actors Team".

As she became more and more aware of the Xu family's background, she finally understood why Xu Changqing was so old and started from scratch, but could make such an amazing foundation...

Nothing else.

The nine-character mantra of Li Shanchang, a wise man of the Ming Dynasty, can be summarized as follows: "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and be king slowly!"

If it weren't for going deeper, who would have thought that even the most ordinary concubines, like those nicknamed "Hot Bar", could have a net worth of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It is simply incredible to place it in the south of the Yangtze River or even anywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Aren't these concubines all fun things...

As for the "big lady" like Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue, and Gu Hengbo, she could not imagine the depth of wealth and background...

The only pity is that Xu Changqing is obviously too busy during this period and has not seen anyone for several days. She has always wanted to have a good exchange with Xu Changqing, not only the opera troupe, but also some of her views on things in Jiangnan, but she has never met Xu Changqing.

It was already mid-May, and the weather was gradually getting hotter. In the deep and elegant yard, cicadas kept shouting.

At noon that day, Liu Rushi was about to take a nap to keep his energy in peace. In the evening, with Gu Hengbo and the others, he went to the garrison of the 3000th Corps of Haicheng to visit the officers and soldiers.

Liu Rushi had already understood very well at this time that the work of the army is the top priority of Haicheng and the most core thing. Xu Changqing is very likely to show up, and this is also the best opportunity for Xu Changqing to "fight for beauty" in the back house.

This is definitely much stronger than the glamorous and beautiful appearance of those literary occasions.

These officers and soldiers are the most powerful force in Haicheng.

Liu Rushi was also very excited to be allowed to participate in such a big scene for the first time.

Although her relationship with Xu Changqing is still shady, she has already begun to gather towards Xu Changqing regardless of body and mind. Tonight, even if she cannot win the crowd, she must show her face in front of many men to let them know that they exist.

But as soon as she lay down, she heard Xu Xin's cheerful laughter outside, and hurried to the window to take a look. It turned out that this little thing had greeted several maids and mothers and were helping her get cicadas.

This made Liu Rushi smile from the inside out.

When will she have such a beautiful and lovely daughter?

However, just as she was about to go back and lie down, she suddenly found something wrong with Gu Hengbo who was chasing him out quickly. She retching to the side, and a maid hurriedly came over to support her.

Liu Rushi couldn't sit still anymore.

The old saying goes: "Don't forget the well digging person when you eat water."

If it weren't for Gu Hengbo's Fu Zhao and support, Liu Rushi knew very well that according to Xu Changqing's indulgent temperament, she would never have a chance.

I hurriedly put on my clothes and ran out to see how Gu Hengbo was doing.

Gu Hengbo was already getting better at this time, and he smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. Maybe he caught a cold last night, so he's already gone to hire a doctor."

Seeing Gu Hengbo's face slowing down, Liu Rushi felt relieved and smiled and said, "Sister Mei, I'll help you rest for a while. It just happened that someone brought me some rainy dragon. We

I haven't sat down to have some tea for a long time."

Gu Hengbo smiled: "It's good."

He hurriedly told a few maids and mothers to take good care of Xu Xin.

Soon, Liu Rushi brought the tea leaves and came to the balcony next to Gu Hengbo. While talking and joking, he started the tea.

As the two talked, they talked about physical care. Gu Hengbo thought for a while and said, "Rushi, it's been a while since you married that talented man? Why haven't you heard any movement? Have you ever been well cared for?"

When he heard Gu Hengbo mention this, Liu Rushi's pretty face darkened.

She did have a good relationship with Lao Qian before, and she is still respectful to each other. But after she really lived in Xu Changqing's back house, she realized that Lao Qian just treated her as a beautiful toy and a spoil.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I haven't paid much attention. I just drink tea and listen to the music on weekdays."

Gu Hengbo certainly understood Liu Rushi's bitterness and smiled and said, "It just so happened that most of the doctors in our Haicheng are imperial doctors. When they come over, they will help you take a good look and take care of them. Women should be at ease."

Liu Rushi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he still agreed.

After finally having such an opportunity, why would she be polite? Anyway, Xu Changqing has money, and even if she eats better and drinks better, she will not eat him poorly.

Soon, the doctor came over. It was the imperial doctor, Mr. Zhang.

After taking Gu Hengbo's pulse briefly, Mr. Zhang hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Congratulations to the Fourth Lady, congratulations to the Fourth Lady, this is a great event, this is a happy pulse."

"ah?"

Not only was Gu Hengbo stunned, but he exclaimed shyly and excitedly, Liu Rushi's face was also full of shock, and even couldn't stop envy.

She had already known that Haicheng is very powerful in fertility now. I heard that Xu Changqing invented the thing called "stomach delivery". As long as you go step by step, there will generally be no problems.

"My sister, congratulations."

After Mr. Zhang carefully instructed Gu Hengbo some precautions, Liu Rushi gave Gu Hengbo his taste but sincerely.

Gu Hengbo was in a very bright mood, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are here. My sister has been feeling a little uncomfortable. Can you please help her with a look?"

"Hey, Madam Four, you are so kind. It is my honor to be able to serve you."

As Mr. Zhang began to take Liu Rushi's pulse, Liu Rushi's heart couldn't help but raise it to his throat.

After so many years of displaced life, her body shouldn't be really wrong, right? If she really can't have a baby, then...

Liu Rushi couldn't imagine that result for a moment.

If it were the past, maybe she could still grit her teeth and persevere, but now, after truly realizing the warmth of home...

Especially as Mr. Zhang's face became more and more steep, Liu Rushi's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Gu Hengbo was also frightened.

Liu Rushi has a miserable life. If there is a problem with her health, then God is really a bit more favorable to one and the other...

After a while, Mr. Zhang said, "Mrs. Fourth Madam, this girl does have some physical problems. The uterine cold is very serious. If you don't take good care of it, there may be big problems in the future. Now, careful care can solve it, but... you need some very precious medicinal materials..."

When he heard that he could recuperate, Gu Hengbo felt relieved, held Liu Rushi's hand and smiled, "Master Zhang, please prescribe a prescription."

Liu Rushi also relaxed a little, but still looked at Mr. Zhang nervously.

Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Fourth Madam, there is no problem with the prescription, but to achieve the best effect, Cordyceps sinensis needs to be used as the medicine. Moreover, it is necessary to produce Shanghai cucumbers produced in Changsheng Island in southern Liaoning as the main medicine, as well as old ginseng that has been over a hundred years old to season..."

Mr. Zhang talked about seven or eight expensive medicinal herbs in succession. Not only did Liu Rushi feel a little stupid, but Gu Hengbo's pretty face also became solemn.

Because at this time

The separation of the Ming Dynasty, some of the medicines cannot be bought with money at all.

For example, Cordyceps, this is a treasure from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but at this time, the passages in that area have been controlled by Zhang Xianzhong, and you can't get it even if you have money.

For example, the sea cucumbers on Changsheng Island.

Ordinary sea cucumbers can be found on the outside, but the best ones require a lot of effort.

It’s not that I can’t do it, but Xu Changqing has to speak.

For example, some precious medicinal materials from the south and even the South China Sea cannot be done by Xu Changqing.

Because only Xu Changqing can have this strength and face.

"Master Zhang, just don't change the prescription... Can I pay you three times the medical fee?"

Gu Hengbo thought about it for a moment, but he didn't want to give up.

Tears kept spinning in Liu Rushi's beautiful eyes. She suddenly realized that Gu Hengbo was much better to her than she thought...

Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Fourth, it's not that I'm not willing to prescribe other prescriptions for you, but it's just that this girl's body... has been sick for a long time. If you don't use good medicine, you may..."

"My sister, forget it, I, maybe I'm the fate..."

Seeing Gu Hengbo and Mr. Zhang in a dilemma, Liu Rushi held back her tears and held Gu Hengbo's hand with a smile.

She had basically given up treatment at this time.

Even if Xu Changqing could do it, she had some capital that Xu Changqing could do it at this time. But would Xu Changqing really spend such a big price on her just a woman who was not even a concubine?

Just like some of the things Xu Changqing talked to her before... she doesn't want to test human nature anymore...

Gu Hengbo sent Mr. Zhang away and comforted him: "So, don't worry too much. Changqing is still easy to talk to. I'll tell him about this. You are still young, don't do anything to yourself. Sister will find a way to do money..."

"My sister, wuwuwu..."

Liu Rushi originally wanted to hold on, but when she thought of the miserable scene that she would most likely face in the future, she could no longer hold on and threw herself into Gu Hengbo's arms and burst into tears.

"master."

"master……"

At this moment, the respectful voices of maids and mothers suddenly came from outside the door.

Liu Rushi suddenly became clever.

But Gu Hengbo smiled: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. If so, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Stupid girl, do you miss your father? Come on, call him dad."
