Chapter 13 How Short of Money Are You?

Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Lu Caimeng and Song Lan, mother and daughter, stood on the right side of the main hall, both with their heads bowed.

Lu Caimeng had already put down the tulle on the hat to cover his cheeks full of red rashes.

The adult of Jingzhao Yin's mansion is surnamed Liu, and he is the nephew of the former minister's book.

Later, the secretary was robbed by His Majesty because of his crime.

This Lord Liu is not an ordinary person.

Seeing that the official secretary was unlucky, Lord Liu quickly switched to the current prime minister's disciple, and only then did he have his current official position.

He ascended to the hall and glanced at everyone in the hall, and when he saw Si Tingyan, his gaze suddenly tightened.

Seeing Lord Liu staring at him like this, Si Tingyan shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Dacai walked straight to the main seat, slapped the shocking wood, and said loudly, "Who is the person under the hall?"

Lu Yunxi took a step forward and curtsied, "My lord, the name of the folk girl is Lu Yunxi, and she is the owner of a rouge shop in Beijing......"

Lu Yunxi told Lord Liu everything that happened today.

Lord Liu's heart tightened, the tip of his nose twitched up and down, and he subconsciously glanced at Si Tingyan.

Seeing this, Si Tingyan could not turn his head, opened the fan in his hand, shook it twice, and shook his head gently.

Seeing this, Master Liu retracted his gaze and coughed twice, "If it weren't for the problem of the agar jade dew, then Second Miss, you might as well present all the things you have used these days, so that people can verify one or two for you, and see what caused your face to look like this." ”

Lu Caimeng slowly raised his head and looked at Lord Liu, "My lord, I haven't used anything else these days. Except for ......" Lu Caimeng said, while turning his head, he glanced at Lu Yunxi on the side of his eyes, "Except for the agar jade dew." ”

Before Lu Caimeng's words were finished, he saw Si Tingyan laugh a few times, stepped forward slowly, walked to Lu Caimeng's side in two steps, and told his diagnosis again.

After speaking, Si Tingyan turned his head away, glanced at Lord Liu, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, if you don't believe my judgment, you can ask someone to come and verify." ”

When Lord Liu heard this, he frowned and nodded, "Come on, go and ask for a doctor." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the official agreed and went out.

Seeing this, Lu Caimeng anxiously turned his head, grabbed Song Lan's sleeve, shook it twice, his eyes frowned together, stared at Song Lan, lowered his voice, and said softly, "Mother, grandfather's affairs can't be known." If the Imperial Doctor comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it. ”

Song Lan's heart was also tight, frowning, raising his hand, blocking the way of the servant.

"Your Excellency. She raised her head and looked at Lord Liu, "The Imperial Doctor doesn't need to be alarmed. Since Si Gongzi has already said it, the abscess on Meng'er's face is not caused by agar jade dew. We believe in Si Gongzi's medical skills. We will no longer pursue today's events. As for Lu Yunxi, it was only regarded as a lesson. In the future, if you want to come up with something new, you must make sure that it is safe. ”

After speaking, Song Lan actually took Lu Caimeng's hand and wanted to leave.

Between her words, she still blamed Lu Caimeng's face on the agar jade dew, how could Lu Yunxi let her leave so easily?

"Little aunt, I think it's better to inquire about this matter clearly. Otherwise, who will compensate for the reputation of my rouge shop in the future?" Lu Yunxi stopped Song Lan's way and said in a deep voice.

Song Lan looked annoyed, turned her back to Lord Liu, stared at Lu Yunxi with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yunxi, this matter is just a family matter. Could it be that you really want to make a big deal out of it?" she said as she slowly stepped forward, put one hand to her lips, leaned into Lu Yunxi's ear, and lowered her voice, "You don't want to watch your mother's only property be seized because of the black market?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi raised her head suddenly, her pupils tightened, and her eyes stared at Song Lan, her eyes full of surprise.

Seeing this, Song Lan only thought that Lu Yunxi had agreed to her proposal, snorted coldly, pushed aside Lu Yunxi who was blocking in front of her, and went straight forward.

Si Tingyan stepped forward and was about to stop him, but Lu Yunxi grabbed his sleeve and shook his head gently.

Lord Liu was confused, staring at a few people, not knowing what to do.

Lu Yunxi slowly turned her head away, and watched Song Lan take Lu Caimeng all the way out.

"You just let them go?" Si Tingyan retracted his gaze, glanced at Lu Yunxi's side face, and asked in a low voice.

"Si Gongzi. Lu Yunxi didn't answer Si Tingyan's words, but didn't look over, stared at his good-looking eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Is Lu Caimeng's bottle of agar jade dew really ours?"

Si Tingyan was puzzled.

"yes. He nodded, "I've seen it deliberately, both the recipe and the taste are ours, what's wrong?"

"Then how did Song Lan know that there was a black market sale of agar jade dew in the capital?" Lu Yunxi said as he glanced at the direction in which Song Lan left.

She and Lu Caimeng were getting on the sedan chair outside the mansion, and the two fled like two defeated roosters.

"A person of her status would never look for a black market outside to buy and sell for the copper coins of one or twenty yuan. Si Tingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fan on his chest shook twice, "According to Song Lan's temperament, I am afraid that I want to let everyone in the capital know that it was obtained at a high price." How do you know about black market trading?"

Lu Yunxi's eyes also frowned tightly, and he nodded slightly, "Yes." However, there is another possibility......"

As Lu Yunxi spoke, he turned his head sideways and glanced at Si Tingyan.

The fan in Si Tingyan's hand snapped together, his eyes flickered, and he thought thoughtfully, "The wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." If she wanted to manipulate the black market, or make fakes in large quantities, it couldn't be easier. It's just that if this matter is found out by the government, the Lu family will be finished. ”

Si Tingyan said, tilting his head and staring at Lu Yunxi's side face.

Unexpectedly, she just hooked the corners of her lips, showed a slight smile, and said in a low voice, "The Lu family has long been finished in my heart. If the matter of the black market cannot be resolved, the rouge shop will be finished. For me, nothing big other than the rouge shop!"

Si Tingyan stared at Lu Yunxi with interest, "How short of money are you?"
