Chapter 125 Cooperation
And this time, Xiangzhi packed up his things with a lot of fanfare, so Steward Zhou arrived quickly, saw Shao Xunmei's crying face, and asked anxiously: "Princess, why are you packing up?" "What is this for?
When Shao Xunmei heard Steward Zhou ask, her eyes turned red in an instant, and there were tears of grievance in them: "Didn't you hear the rumors outside?" Say that I lost my virginity, that I have disgraced the royal family, that I am sorry for your master, and that I should be divorced. The palace must have been criticized a lot www.biquge.info because of me, so I'd better leave for the time being. Wait until ......"
Shao Xunmei bit her mouth when she said this, and said, "I'll come back when the rumors subside." At this point, the tears flowed even harder.
Steward Zhou anxiously persuaded: "The princess Hugh wants to listen to the words of those long-tongued women, it is all the fault of the slaves, and the slaves did not send someone to protect the princess that caused the disaster that day." ”
But Shao Xunmei shook her head firmly: "It has nothing to do with you, someone came out to save us in time that day." If I don't let people report to the official, everyone won't know, and the Dingwang Mansion will not be on the cusp of gossip. It's all my fault, we're safe, so we shouldn't make a noise. But ......"
Speaking of this, her eyes were red, with a choked voice, and unwilling excitement, which sounded so aggrieved and pitiful: "However, my aunt was injured because of me, and several girls were hacked to death in front of me, I just want to get justice, I only have one request, but why do the world treat me so harshly and misunderstand me?" I really didn't..., and I didn't expect that there would be such rumors against me. I really didn't expect ......."
Steward Zhou saw that the princess's pink face was full of tears, and even her eyelids were swollen, her eyes were full of incomprehensible grievances and grievances, and her face was touching, which was more pitiful than when she usually had an indifferent face.
Steward Zhou persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, the princess won't divorce you." The princess has been ill for all these years, and she doesn't know the sinister nature of the hearts of people outside, which is understandable. The prince has now set off from the south, and will be back in a month. When the time comes, the prince will call the shots for you! ”
Shao Xunmei just shook her head: "No, I don't have the face to see your master." You better let me leave, I have a grange under my name, I want to go to the grange to recuperate for a while and calm my body and mind. When I figure it out, I'll be fine! ”
Steward Zhou still persuaded: "Princess, is there any difference between being in the palace and being in the grange?" ”
But Shao Xunmei suddenly collapsed when she heard this: "Steward Zhou, what do you mean by this?" Should I just stay in the house all day and have all kinds of gossip in my ears? I just want to find a calm place to be quiet! ”
Shao Xunmei's expression was very excited, as if she couldn't stand it if Steward Zhou said one more word.
Let Steward Zhou not dare to say anything more!
At this time, Xiang Zhi came over and said softly: "Princess, the things are packed." Speaking of which, her eyes were also red. What a very pitiful master and servant.
And Steward Zhou looked at the things that were packed, there were not many things, they were all commonly used daily necessities, and he didn't live there for long, and finally he said carefully: "Has the princess really decided?" Princess, isn't Your Majesty still waiting for your healing? ”
Shao Xunmei shook her head with red eyes: "Your Majesty doesn't need me for the time being!" I just want to be alone right now! When the words fell, a faint light quickly flashed in Steward Zhou's eyes.
Steward Zhou didn't expect the princess to be such a fierce character, so he could only say: "Princess, are the people around you okay?" Bring a few more people! Also, the minions sent a few more people to protect the princess. ”
Shao Xunmei said in a somewhat sharp voice: "I don't want it!" When I see these people in the palace, I think of the gossip against me! I just need Xiangzhi and Peilan! All I need is the two of them! And I don't need you to send guards to protect me! This time it's just an accident, I'm not used to it, can't you hear it! ”
Steward Zhou looked at Shao Xunmei's emotional appearance, and could only compromise: "Where is the princess's Zhuangzi, let the servants escort you!" ”
This time, Shao Xunmei did not refuse, and was escorted by Steward Zhou to the grange in the suburbs. This Zhuangzi is the dowry given to her by the Ningguo Mansion, next to the Zhuangzi of a royal courtier's family, at the foot of the royal mountain villa in the western suburbs, the transportation is convenient and very safe.
Steward Zhou saw that the princess's village was not large, with dozens of acres of farmland, more than ten rooms, and complete people, so after he saw Shao Xunmei's arrangement, he left the guards and left.
Although the princess didn't need it, he still left the guards to protect Shao Xunmei's safety.
However, soon after, these guards were inadvertently discovered by the princess, and it is said that at that time, Princess Ding almost collapsed, saying that she didn't want to see the people in the palace, and Steward Zhou was willing to force her to death! And she even reassured him, saying that she would invite herself to the court when the prince came back.
As a result, the guards could only be sent back in disgrace. In the end, Steward Zhou just left two guards in Zhuangzi, and instructed her to stay away from the princess so that she would not discover Yunyun.
The two guards just stared at it from a distance every day, and they didn't go out when they saw the princess in the house, but the two girls went out every day, and they knew that they were going to the Ningguo Mansion to take care of Aunt Xie. Then the people in the Zhuangzi would come into the house every day to bring food to the princess.
But the princess didn't go out once.
However, how could they have expected that on the second day, Shao Xunmei had already appeared in the Xie family's shop with incense.
Xie Yan and others who knew Shao Xunmei's identity looked at her with a worried look, and Rong's people, who had always been cold, chatted with her tactfully, in order to enlighten her.
But Shao Xunmei just shook her head at her and smiled: "Don't worry, cousin, I'm fine!" ”
yes, of course she's fine! How could it not be? It's so refreshing!
And Shao Xunmei lived in the house she bought. It's how comfortable it is.
And Shao Xunmei handed over some blood-tonifying herbs and prescriptions to the big shopkeeper of the Qi family's shop, and asked him to hand them over to Qi Hao. Of course, as long as the words and things are brought, as for whether Qi Hao uses them or not, that is his business.
And as she expected, the last exchange conference held in the shop simply set off a violent storm in the Beijing pharmacy, and after they found out where Shao Xunmei ordered the medical equipment displayed by Rong's, they also ordered a lot.
As for those books, their eyes sparkled like treasures when they read them overnight, and only one book in a shop was naturally not enough to read, so those people automatically printed or copied them directly.
And those who did not go to Xie's shop to participate in the exchange meeting that day regretted it even more, so they could only do everything possible, even spend money to import it from other shops, and then copy the mimeograph.
Soon, in almost every pharmacy in the capital, there were several manuscripts of Shao Xunmei and Xie Yan, but some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but unfortunately, everyone knew the value of this book, and they started quickly, but they had nothing to do.
And those who don't know about medical herbs and other medical knowledge, the apprentices in other shops come to inquire and listen carefully, and some even the doctors in the shops come to ask seriously.
For a time, the Xie family's shop was lively, with horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the door every day, and doctors and apprentices coming and going. Invisibly, the reputation of the Xie family's shop has become famous in the entire capital, and even its reputation is unparalleled.
Naturally, the number of customers has gradually increased, and there are even businessmen who have taken the initiative to come to the door, asking for cooperation in bringing in medicinal materials or finished medicines from the shop.
But he was politely refused.
And on this day, early in the morning, the shop had just opened, and not long after Shao Xunmei came, someone came to the door, and that person was none other than Qi Gongzi who gave Aunt Xie a blood transfusion that day and did not ask for anything in return.
But I saw that he was wearing a silver robe, covered with a blue tulle shirt, thick hair like ink, a tall Qinghua, and his eyes were cold and lazy, who was not Qi Hao?
And after he came in, his tone was very direct: "I'm here to find Mrs. Xie!" ”
The clerk quickly took him to Shao Xunmei's room in the back hall, and then went to Zhang Luo for tea in person. This is a big man, how can he not cheer up and entertain him! However, what is this Qi Gongzi coming to the princess for?
Shao Xunmei saw Qi Hao walk in, stood up and asked, "Is Qi Gongzi's body better?" ”
Qi Hao's eyes were shining, and he seemed to be smiling: "My son has used your medicinal materials and recipes, and his health is better than before." Shao Xunmei knew that he was saying kind words, after all, how many days had passed since that day? It's already so effective that all the blood he lost will be replaced?
Shao Xunmei had no intention of being polite with him, so she went straight to the point: "May I ask what is the purpose of Gongzi Qi today?" ”
But Qi Hao looked straight at her, his eyes were very sharp, and his eyes seemed to have a strong intention of studying, and he wanted to open her whole person to study before he stopped.
saw a smile like early spring on the corner of his lips, warm and cold at first, but the words he asked were half cold: "Should this son call you Mrs. Xie?" Or is it the princess? The **** happened to meet Mrs. You like this, and the next day there were rumors that Princess Ding came to meet robbers on incense, and your aunt was injured, I thought, I won't encounter anything just happening, so I asked you to verify it! ”
And where is the verification of his words? As soon as she came up, she had already sharply asked the question of whether she was Mrs. Xie or Princess Ding, and her tone was even more affirmative, he must have determined something!
But Shao Xunmei didn't have a trace of panic to be recognized, but directly asked generously: "Then does Gongzi Qi want to give this princess a salute first!" ”
And Qi Hao actually saluted Shao Xunmei and said: "The grass people visit Princess Ding!" ”
Shao Xunmei accepted it with a beautiful jaw, without a little weakness! And the two of them from psychology to expression, for a while, they did not win or lose, and they fought equally.
Shao Xunmei had already expected that Qi Hao would recognize her identity, after all, he was an imperial businessman, although he had not met Princess Ding, but after inquiring and then confirming, it would not be difficult to confirm.
Therefore, Qi Hao's arrival, she had already expected it.
The clerk served tea, and then withdrew with a cup of each. And Shao Xunmei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. And Qi Hao looked at her leisurely and elegant movements, without the slightest recognizable panic or forced calm mood.
Moreover, Shao Xunmei still said the same sentence: "What is the purpose of Qi Gongzi's trip?" ”
And Qi Hao looked at such an arbitrary woman secretly, and his heart was full of surprise: "Madame, aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?" ”
The name he found on those manuscripts was Xie Ronghua, not the princess's maiden name. Although it was inconvenient for him to inquire about Princess Ding's name, he knew that Princess Ding's surname was Shao, not Xie.
Since her widowhood is fake, it only means that she doesn't want people to recognize her true identity!
And the moment he learned the news, it was unbelievable: the woman with such superb medical skills turned out to be Princess Ding, who had been in the limelight recently! If you think about it carefully, where can there be two women who are skilled in medicine and good at acupuncture?
But he didn't understand why Princess Ding would appear in the Xie family's shop and condescend to the people to diagnose diseases.
That's it, and the identity of a widow is faked......
It is estimated that if King Ding finds out, his face should be very good-looking.
Shao Xunmei was not surprised that he would ask such a question, but when she saw her smile, the whole person exuded a kind of radiant light, and her beautiful face was compelling: "It doesn't matter, if you want to say it, just say it, anyway, after all, this identity will be exposed!" "And didn't Your Majesty already know, and he wasn't the first!
And what does exposing this identity have to do with others, it has to do with Dingwangfu, specifically it should be Dingwang!
And he knows it or not, she doesn't care at all!
Because it is meaningless, there is no fear. That's how she's always been.
And Shao Xunmei said this, but it cut off Qi Hao's need to continue this topic and what to ask for with this topic. And Qi Hao probably didn't expect Shao Xunmei to be so meaningless. In her eyes, the identity of a doctor is more important than that of a princess! Otherwise, how could she be so tranquil and leisurely?
Qi Hao looked at the woman in front of him, like a mist, so that he couldn't see through it. However, he understood that this lady was not something he should have bothered to study. However, he still asked the part that went beyond his topic: "I guess that the rumors in the capital were deliberately released by the lady, or played a role in promoting it, why did the princess do this... What about self-defilement? ”
You know, a woman's reputation is more important than her life!
Shao Xunmei looked sideways at this person's agile thinking: "How did you guess? ”
Qi Hao smiled elegantly: "Those rumors are surging, and it is rare for Mrs. to have such a Yaxing to come to the shop to treat people calmly!" ”
Shao Xunmei smiled: "Don't you allow me to be strong in my heart?" Well, what about the rumors, I guessed it when I asked people to report it. And isn't there a result of such self-defilement? ”
Qi Hao unconsciously picked up the tea and took a sip, although the tea was not good, compared to his usual golden tea, but he did not frown, it was difficult to swallow: "What result?" ”
Shao Xunmei glanced at him: "Think for yourself." ”
Qi Hao thought for a while, his eyes went from looking at Shao Xunmei to being surprised, and finally spit out two words in disbelief: "Hughed?" In the rumors, most people think that Princess Ding has lost her chastity and royal face, so she asked King Ding to divorce her.
Could that be what she's for? And when he saw Shao Xunmei's indifferent gaze, with a hint of cunning, he knew that he had guessed right again.
This princess, Ding, why is her thinking so out-of-the-box? It is precisely because she doesn't want to live with King Ding, so she wants to be divorced, and that's why she doesn't care even if her identity is exposed.
Shao Xunmei said lightly: "We don't have a good relationship, I don't want to live with him, I don't want to put my life on him, what's wrong?" ”
is so justifiable, he actually compared all the three from the four virtues of a woman. And the topic is here, the two have unconsciously said deeply, men and women, this kind of topic should not be.
Thinking of this, Qi Hao restrained his relaxed expression just now, "The purpose of my visit this time is to seek cooperation with my wife!"
Shao Xunmei's eyebrows raised slightly, "Which one?" ”
Qi Hao said secretly: "Naturally, the deeper the better!" ”
Shao Xunmei shook her head: "Young Master Qi has such a big appetite!" ”
Qi Hao also shook his head: "My son has a big appetite and can't hold on." ”
Shao Xunmei played with the cup in her hand, looked at the delicate white porcelain, revealing a uniform color in the light, and said casually: "Qi Gongzi, I have no intention of making the shop bigger and making money, in my eyes, this Xie family pharmacy is not a tool to make money, but a tool for me to treat patients, so it is impossible to cooperate with you in an all-round way." ”
She is not one of those capable traversers, in ancient times, she relied on her skills to earn money in shares, and then the wealth rolled in. She doesn't have such a strong desire to make money, for her, money is enough to spend. She never wanted to be a shining person, she just wanted to use what she had learned to treat patients. Let her live this little life in peace and stability is the best thing for her.
And after the last sharing and exchange, the three major shops and even other pharmacies came to contact, openly and secretly asked for cooperation, but it was delayed.
And when Qi Hao came to the door in person, Shao Xunmei guessed his intention. It's just that the two of them talked about some useless topics.
Qi Hao looked at the careless woman in front of him, who had no heart for fame and fortune, but only a pure doctor's heart. He only felt a little itchy in his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, having said that, but cooperating with the Qi family can guarantee that it will not attract the covetousness of others." ”
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, the current situation of the Xie family shop is like carrying tens of millions of treasures, and there are many people who covet it.
Shao Xunmei nodded: "I thought of it!" Therefore, it is okay to cooperate, I will provide you with prescriptions on a regular basis, and you can make medicines and sell medicines. There are also these medical equipment, you can also customize and sell. Anything else, forget it, I don't have that energy! ”
Qi Hao frowned slightly: "Madame wants to use these to gain a firm foothold?" ”
Shao Xunmei raised her eyebrows: "Are these few?" Qi Gongzi, we don't take a penny from the prescriptions provided, and we also give you the copyright of medical equipment or something, these alone are enough for you to make a lot of money! "Don't be too greedy, don't have too much appetite.
And when the time comes, we all know the fact that the Qi family shop and the Xie family shop cooperated, who would be embarrassed for the Xie family shop? After all, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, isn't it?
Qi Hao finally looked at Shao Xunmei with fixed eyes, and spit out a few words: "Madam, you have expected it!" "Therefore, the initiative in today's negotiations is in the hands of the other side. He almost always followed the other party's train of thought.
This is a big no-no in shopping malls.
But, surprisingly, not obnoxious.
Shao Xunmei smiled so elegantly and calmly: "So what?" We're a win-win situation, aren't we? Childe, you got the benefits, and our shop got the peace you wanted. ”
Moreover, the cooperation between the two is not deep, and the Xie family shop will not be purely commercialized in the end, and her path of being a pure doctor will continue forever.
Qi Hao finally nodded: "Okay, that's it!" "Although it didn't match his expected goal, it was also a big bargain. The secret recipe provided by the Xie family shop does not need to be divided, which is too unexpected for him.
Shao Xunmei also nodded, got up and shook hands with him: "Happy cooperation." Eat together another day. ”
Qi Hao watched her movements in surprise again, reached out like her, and held her soft. His heart jumped. Before he could react, the man had already let go of his hand.
Qi Hao also said: "Okay, let's eat together." ”
After Qi Hao later went out and got into the carriage and left, he felt all the way that he was led by the nose today, and even the last handshake to eat together was a subconscious reflection.
He stretched out his hand, looked at his slender fingers, his eyes fluttering, and finally pursed his lips. It made the little guy on the side look strange: the young master had been watching it for a long time, he looked carefully, and the young master had nothing in his hands! Odd! (To be continued.) )
