Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Poison of Southern Xinjiang

[Ran^Text^Library] []"There is a kind of grass called Panlong grass in the southern part of Xinjiang, which is made of powder together with a local insect called zombie worm, which is colorless and tasteless, and its toxicity is not strong, and the silver needle and other substances can not detect the toxicity, and adults can eat it, and it can also treat the disease of wind paralysis. ”

Qinglianzi sat next to the window, staring at Gu Xinyue who vomited a large pool of black blood the day before yesterday, and now on the wooden floor that was as clean as a mirror, her voice was a little cold.

"But if it is a child, if it is taken for a long time, it will make the child weak and weak, mentally unresponsive, and over the years, he will empty his body and die of illness."

"In other words, the child who eats that thing is not only weak, but also looks like an idiot?" Gu Xinyue asked.

Raising her eyes and glancing at Gu Xinyue, Qinglianzi said: "The girl's words are not wrong, she is slow to react, she is not sane, and outsiders look at her like an ignorant idiot." ”

"Girl!" Cai Wei's eyes were red, and she called out.

At that time in Ganzhou, Grandpa Guo found all kinds of teachers to teach them, and occasionally sighed that his daughter suffered because of the time of childbirth, so that her sanity was different from that of other children.

Mrs. Gu wrote a letter to Grandpa Guo from the capital, and every time she would talk about Gu Xinyue's stubbornness, and how hard she worked, she always made Grandpa Guo sad and guilty.

But it turned out that it was poisoning!

"Girl, this medicine is very rare, Panlong grass and zombie insects are only produced at the junction of southern Xinjiang and the South China Sea, few outsiders know, it is me, I also traveled there, and met someone who used this medicine to treat wind paralysis, so I knew." Qinglianzi frowned and said, "It is said that no one in the Guogong Mansion has ever been out of the capital, how can they know about this medicine?" ”

Gu Xinyue's heart didn't move, and said, "If I hadn't fallen into the water, hadn't left the house, and hadn't eaten those medicinal herbs, then, according to my physical condition, how long would I live?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid, I only have two to three months to live." After a long silence, Qinglianzi said.

"Girl?"

"It's not the poison of Old Lady Gu." Gu Xinyue frowned slightly, and said, "If it is poisoned by Old Lady Gu, she doesn't need to do much at all, as long as she stays in my house." ”

If Gu Lao Taijun knew, according to her temperament, she was afraid that she would do better on the surface, so that when Gu Xinyue died of frailty, she would be able to get a better reputation.

South China Sea......

As soon as the thought turned, Gu Xinyue smiled at Qinglianzi, and said when Qinglianzi was shocked and retreated: "That, Qingdaxia, you seem to be very good at medicine!" So, do you understand, how to concoct medicinal materials? ”

Throwing the reins at Wu Shan, Qin Qi swept up directly from the horse, his feet were a little on the steps, and the people swept into Zhuangzi.

Running towards the backyard like the wind, Qin Qi stopped after entering the courtyard gate.

The courtyard has changed dramatically, more than a dozen wooden shelves full of bamboo strips are scattered in the empty space, and Qinglianzi directs Pomegranate and others to place some fresh herbs on different bamboo strips in different ways.

While commanding, he also smiled at Gu Xinyue, who was sitting on the recliner with his chin propped up, and said: "I said girl, you are not authentic, you only hired me as a bodyguard, I should only be responsible for your safety!" Why do you even want me to do this kind of medicine farmer's business! ”

"Oh, those who can work hard! Why don't I give you another salary as a medicine farmer? How about ten jars of liquor in a month? Gu Xinyue said with a smile that she couldn't close her mouth.

It's a no-brainer!

"It's too much! I'm a Cloud Swordsman! You know? Shocking clouds! Qinglianzi glared and said, "You little girl will bully an honest person like me!" Twenty altars! ”

"Twenty altars of burning knives?"

"Yikes! Qin Qi! Hearing the sound of a light laugh, Gu Xinyue looked back and saw the tall figure, and stood up from the recliner with a whoosh, and shouted happily.

"You young man, you are too stingy to walk the rivers and lakes! The girl is obviously talking about the twenty altar daughter red! Qinglianzi took out the pomegranate's misplaced herb and glared at Qin Qidao angrily.

Burning knives is fifty wen a jar, and my daughter is red three hundred wen a jar, which is a long way off.

"Huh? When did I say my daughter was red? Where can I find you twenty jars of daughter red? Gu Xinyue pounced on Qin Qi's body and turned back, looking at Qinglianzi in surprise.

"It doesn't matter, he can't drink the difference anyway, last time he was holding a burning knife and said that it was his daughter red for twenty years." Qin Qi smiled faintly, walked a few steps, reached out to touch Gu Xinyue's head, but his hand stretched out, but he just brushed her shoulder, and said, "Talking in the house." ”

"I can't drink! It's not like you stinky boy lied to me! Seeing that I was drunk, he used a burning knife to lie to me that it was my daughter red! ”

*

Listening to Qinglianzi's shouting, Gu Xinyue grinned and followed Qin Qi into the house, and when Qin Qi closed the door, his face suddenly sank, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Qi lowered the curtain, then put the burden he was holding on the table and opened the burden.

In the baggage, there are two boxes.

At Qin Qi's signal, Gu Xinyue opened the two boxes, and then, a bright thief light appeared in her eyes.

One box is the best mutton fat white jade, and the other box is full of gemstones.

Ruby sapphire amber agate cat eyes, full of boxes!

"These were sent by the general, saying that they would give the girl some jewelry, some furs and other things, and they would arrive later."

Looking at the look of joy on Gu Xinyue's face, Qin Qi smiled lightly.

"Wow! How did my brother get these? Gu Xinyue's eyes flashed with stars, but she suddenly retracted and said in a deep voice: "Where did my brother buy it with the money?" Didn't you say that my brother wants to raise soldiers, but it actually costs a lot of money? ”

Ji Jing and she said when they were talking to Gu Hekui's family property that the imperial court had a lot of deductions for the army, and in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers below, the generals had more time to pay for the holes by themselves, such as this time, Gu Mohan gave all the money to his fallen soldiers as a pension, Gu Hekui was in Ganzhou for twelve years, and he only saved more than 50,000 silver in his family property, 30,000 was swallowed by the Gu family, and the rest, part of Gu Mohan wanted to go, and the one he brought over was only a few thousand taels.

Thinking about those shops, I am afraid that what Gu Mohan wants is also given to Qin Qi to help her buy a shop.

Gu Mohan himself is so poor that he clangs ......

"The general has exterminated the horse thieves this time, and the trade route to the Western Regions will be opened." The corners of Qin Qi's lips hooked slightly, grabbed a handful of gems from the box and said, "Look at it, what style you want, I'll go to the silver building in the capital to call you." ”

Trade Routes in the Western Regions!

Gu Xinyue looked at those glittering gems, and her thoughts drifted away.

Yes, in this era, the gem spice wine in the west was a luxury in the capital, and the silk porcelain tea of the Chu State was the most needed thing there.

Back and forth, the profit is dozens of times.

Moreover, compared to maritime merchants, as long as the trade routes are open, there are not so many thieves, in fact, the land route is much safer.

"Girl? Girl? ”

"Huh?" Qin Qi shouted a few times, and Gu Xinyue came back to her senses and said, "We're going to buy a few more shops in the capital!" I also want to tell my brother that I will also open a few more transit shops in Ganzhou. ”

Since there is a supply of goods, it is natural to open your own shop and sell it yourself to make more money.

Mobilize silk and other goods from Jiangnan and Jingdong to transport them to Ganzhou, and then go west from the caravan on the Ganzhou side, and the caravan here will bring back the goods from Ganzhou!

With Gu Mohan in Ganzhou, this business is not too easy to do!

It's great to have a backer or something!
