Old Lady Xue instantly stood up and coughed. She then took a few glances at the gifts and realized that they were all just herbs and ordinary gifts. There were actually no more expensive items?
The old lady's face darkened. "Son, why did you become so petty after going to the capital? Did the pharmaceutical company in the capital not do well and you lost money?"
The old patriarch instantly chided, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
The old lady pouted. "How am I spouting nonsense? Doesn't everyone in the capital have a foothold? Haven't you heard of this saying? In the capital, anyone who drops a quick brick will hit an official above the fifth rank! Boss, if you don't have anyone, can I introduce you to one?"
The old lady's words were unpleasant, and the old patriarch continued to scold, "What fifth rank? That's in the olden days! However, Son, there are really some connections here that can be given to you."
