Chapter 55: The City

"Ran away by her?"

Su Xiaoqiao, who snatched the medicine, looked at Ah Yao slightly apologetically, Fang Cai had been blocking in front of the big girl, if she hadn't walked away suddenly, people wouldn't have run away.

"It's not your business in the first place, you have the medicine you lack, and now you can get the prescription?"

"Yes." Seeing that Ah Yao was not to blame, thinking that she could get the prescription right away, Su Xiaoqiao immediately put the matter behind her, walked to the counter and handed the prescription over.

Ah Yao stayed by her side, and said while waiting for the apprentice of the pharmacy to grab the medicine: "Three points of medicine and seven points of nourishment, if your father keeps doing that job, no matter how good the prescription is, it will be useless." โ€

"I know," Su Xiaoqiao was a little depressed, "But my eldest brother just got married last year, and the whole family was hollowed out in order to buy a bride price, and seeing that the second brother is going to have a happy event in two years, it is impossible for Daddy to rest." In fact, sometimes I wish I hadn't gone to Qinglin Academy, and the money I had saved over the years would have been able to buy two acres of fertile land. โ€

A penny is hard to beat a hero. When Daddy was alive, Ah Yao had never experienced the taste of lack of money, and at that time, she was often surprised by the fact that the people in the market were worried about money, and she couldn't understand it at all. It wasn't until the middle of the family road that she had to count the grains of rice for cooking, and thought about adding a few more scoops of water to fill the number, that she knew that the poor days were difficult.

After the last three years of her previous life, she now sympathizes with Su Xiaoqiao like this from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't think like that, read more books and understand things, this can't be bought with any amount of money."

"Daddy said the same thing, the family is like this, I said I wouldn't go to the academy, but he didn't agree. He said that he would rather give me less dowry in the future, and let me study in the academy. โ€

"Your dad is so nice."

The apprentice poured the medicine into the paper, picked up the hemp rope and wrapped it neatly, and sighed casually.

"But he's working too hard."

"Then change to an easier job, see that you are better with the girl of the Hu family, and let her arrange an easier job in the Hu family's shop."

It's okay like this, A-Yao only felt that her eyes lit up. But before she could speak, Su Xiaoqiao hurriedly refused: "I'm not friends with A-Yao to take advantage of her, if I really do this, I'll become someone." โ€

After speaking, she looked at Ah Yao nervously: "Ah Yao, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't mean that." โ€

Lu Jingyuan, who had been thinking about how to lay it out, came back to his senses and happened to hear the apprentice mention yรฌ. Father Su entered the Hu family's shop? Thinking of the situation of the Su family that he investigated, Su's father is a capable person, and the reason why he was bullied was because he was too honest. Su Xiaoqiao is now friends with that girl, and there is such a layer of involvement, so she can't help but be disobedient.

It's a double kill with one stone.

"Yes."

"What is Brother Jing talking about?"

"Miss Su's father used to be a housekeeper in the Shen family, so he must also be a capable person. You are friends, but you can pull him to the Hu family. โ€

The apprentice nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's what I want to say, Su Xiaoqiao and her father may have done it, and the old steward of the Shen family was very optimistic about him when he was in the past." Miss Hu, you will never suffer if you invite him over. โ€

Ah Yao didn't think about it so much, Su Xiaoqiao was her first friend after she was reborn, and she stood on her side several times. Now that she has something to do at home, of course she can help as much as she can. Even if there are many idle meals, the current situation of the Hu family is not unaffordable. Even she thought about it, the rules can't be broken, if Su's father is really useless, his monthly salary will be deducted from his monthly silver.

It sounds like a capable person now, and that's just a lot better.

"Little Joe, people with ability are welcome everywhere. Even if there is no me, he quits the Shen family to come to the Hu family, and your uncle and those shopkeepers will definitely not refuse. โ€

"Really?"

"Of course!" Xingyan looked at her firmly, and A-Yao nodded heavily.

Whether it was his own holiday with Shen Moci, or the Shen family's harm to Daddy's body like this, in short, Su Xiaoqiao had no good impression of the Shen family. Previously, my brother and she were persuading Daddy, the Shen family is like this, let's go to the Hu family, but Daddy has been thinking about the friendship of the old steward back then.

Now that a few years have passed, Daddy has worked tirelessly to drag his body down, just like that, no matter how great the kindness is, it should be repaid, right?

Not only her, but even Daddy thinks so. Although he didn't say it explicitly, when he mentioned it again, he wouldn't talk about the old steward anymore, but was worried that he was not in good health, and the Hu family would not accept it when he saw that he was sick, and he turned around and offended the Shen family, and he didn't settle at either end, ruining the whole family. Now with A-Yao's assurance, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"A-Yao, you're so good."

Su Xiaoqiao opened her arms and wanted to pounce, but when she saw that her hand was about to be on Ayao's shoulder, a cold gaze came from the side, and her whole person was frozen as if she was frozen, and she froze at that moment and withdrew her hand. Looking to the side, she gasped.

My mother, obviously the most handsome little marquis, now her face is so heavy that she can drip water.

"I'll go back and tell Daddy the good news."

After grabbing the medicine from the counter, Su Xiaoqiao ran out and didn't dare to turn her head back.

"Miss Su, look for your money." The apprentice was holding a few copper plates in his hand, and when he saw the person disappearing at the door, he shook his head helplessly: "I'll take it first, and I'll count it next time she comes." โ€

Then he raised his head and looked at the young man in Xuanyi next to him in a slightly confused manner, and after a while, he suddenly realized, "Hey, isn't this the boy who brought tiger bones to the shop last time." โ€

"You've mistaken someone." was recognized on the spot, Lu Jingyuan's already dark face would be even darker than the bottom of the pot.

"How is it possible, Gongzi, you didn't name your surname, saying that you were going to sell the tiger bones to the Hu family. The young apprentice has been a few years, and he has never seen a tiger bone so good. Don't say it's small, even the small master, our shopkeeper praised the tiger bone in the sky and the earth, and said that he had been in Baicaotang for many years, and had never seen such a good tiger bone. โ€

And what's going on? Ah Yao tilted her head, only to see a face that was so black that it couldn't be darker.

"The master is still waiting for us in Yunlai Building."

Throwing down this sentence and pulling Ah Yao's sleeve, Lu Jingyuan strode out of the Baicao Hall.

After getting into the carriage, Ah Yao instructed the nursing home who came next to her to go back to the house to say hello to Hu Gui about Su's father. Uncle Gui is the chief housekeeper of the Hu Mansion, and it must be appropriate for him to arrange this matter personally. After solving other problems, she looked up at the teenager.

"Brother Jing, I remember that I also added tiger bones to the tonic soup I drank, did you bring it from the capital?"

"What do you want to do? I have something to do, you go to the jewelry shop in front of you first. โ€

After frowning, he threw off the hem of his clothes and jumped out of the carriage, and walked into the dark alley next to him in three steps and two steps.

"But the master is not still waiting, this ......"

It's just moody, but for the sake of the tiger bones, she doesn't remember the villain. After comforting herself, Ah Yao got out of the carriage and entered the jewelry shop next to her.

Although there are only two women in the back house of the Hu family, Ah Niang and her, they can't bear to ask for more and more expensive jewelry every time. The jewelry shop likes customers like the Hu family the most, they have a good temper, are not picky, and ask for more every time. Usually, the new style in the shop is directly sent to take the door of the Hu family for people to choose, this will be the Hu family girl come in person, the shopkeeper still does not change his enthusiasm, directly to meet in person.

"Miss Hu's dress, this is really the right time, the shop has just made a batch of Western style jewelry."

Ah Yao didn't plan to buy anything, but the shopkeeper's words made her mind move.

"Western style? Please take it out and take a look. โ€

"Okay, please upstairs."

As soon as I went upstairs, there were maids with all kinds of jewelry on the table, delicate bells, hollow foreheads strung with precious stones, slender silver bracelets, all kinds of mystery and magnificence that are completely different from the delicate style of Jiangnan hit the heart. Not only Ah Yao, but even Qingshuang who followed up looked straight at her.

"Girl, look how beautiful this bell is." As she spoke, she swayed, and the crisp sound made people forget their worries.

There will definitely be a song and dance performance at tomorrow's banquet, if the dancing girl wears this kind of jewelry on her wrists and ankles, the vague idea just now gradually became clear, and Ah Yao picked up the bracelet with bells in it.

"How many more bracelets are there?"

"The girl really has an eye, this bracelet style is the most outstanding in this batch of jewelry, we deliberately made more."

"I want twelve pairs of bracelets and anklets."

"This ......" the shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

"What's the problem with the shopkeeper?"

"The girl is right, someone in front of the Shen family has come to see it, and they are satisfied with this bracelet, and they ordered someone to keep some."

The Shen family? Ah Yao subconsciously thought of Shen Moci, and her face changed slightly.

Qingshuang was more direct: "My girl directly asks for silver, is it not as uncertain as his Shen family?" โ€

The Hu family is a big customer and can't afford to mess with it. Moreover, the Shen family's behavior is indeed despicable, and doing business pays attention to harmony and wealth, although the shopkeeper will not speak ill of people on the surface, but he is free in his heart. Seeing that Qingshuang was angry, he hurriedly changed his words: "Twelve pairs, yes, I'll send someone to get it immediately." โ€

"No, I want it all, not only that, but this jewelry can't be sold to anyone else in the future, and the shopkeeper will open a price." Gently ringing the bell, A-Yao tried her best to learn from Daddy's firmness when talking about business with others, and she really learned a little like it under the influence of her ears and eyes, which would successfully bluff the shopkeeper.

This is a batch of new styles that he is very optimistic about, but the girl of the Hu family really can't afford to provoke her, and the shopkeeper hesitates.

When the two were bargaining over the jewelry patent, Lu Jingyuan, who was hidden in the dark alley, had also contacted the secret guard. Just now he received the news, just as he expected, in order to stabilize King Ping, Shen Jinshan sent Shen Moci out.

However, to his surprise, Shen Moci did not become depressed, but tried his best to persuade King Ping to secretly re-recruit military salaries from the silk merchants.

Although the emperor's uncle's position has gradually stabilized over the years, the power of the emperor is particularly preserved. King Ping didn't even need to show his horse's feet and say that he wanted silver taels, he only needed to show the name of the prince to feast on all the silk merchants, and few of these powerless merchants dared to disobey their orders. At that time, Shen Moci will use some conspiracy and tricks, and it is really possible for them to succeed.

Shen Moci was kept so that she could lead out the people who were hiding behind the scenes. Others, not to mention anything else, even for the sake of that girl, he can't let her live comfortably.

This must be reconciled.

"You, go find someone who smokes a hibiscus, repair it and bring it to the master."

"You, go to Master Kukai and let him ...... like this"

After receiving the order, several dark guards in navy blue robes quickly disappeared into the streets and alleys. It didn't take long for Master Kukai to come to the side of Master Kukai, who was examining the pulse, a scrawny and crazy patient, and many people recognized this person, and it was because they recognized them that they were even more surprised.

Why is it that the two cows with strong bones in the late autumn silkworms last year are now almost thin into a skeleton, how long has it been.

"Master, please save me."

In the bitter weeping of Erniu, Master Kukai checked the pulse and sighed Amitabha.

"But the donor was sick a few years ago, and he used Ah Furong to relieve the pain?"

"How does the master know?"

"The donor is not suffering from a stubborn illness, but now he is weak, mentally weak, and skinny, all because of this hibiscus."

Will Fleur still hurt people? Qingcheng is rich, the people eat exquisitely, and they are not strangers to A Furong. When the soup is stewed, just a little bit, the flavor of the stewed soup can be transmitted out for a mile, and this time-saving and labor-saving method is respected by many people. If you eat well, your teeth are easy to break, and both adults and children can't bear the pain, and the pain is so painful that it can't be handled, and the pain of the whole body is completely gone.

There are so many uses, many people have them in their daily lives, and even big stores such as Baicaotang have an indifferent attitude towards them.

"This hibiscus is nothing with less, once you are addicted, you can't leave it completely, and if you don't have it at hand, it's like a hundred claws scratching your heart."

After Master Kukai finished speaking, Erniu nodded again and again: "The master said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but isn't that my illness?" โ€

Yes, isn't it madness?

"It's not a disease, it's just an addiction to Hibiscus. You don't need medicine for this disease, you only need to use Hibiscus for half a month, and you can be cured without medicine, but you will inevitably have to suffer some hardships. After finishing speaking, Master Kukai looked around: "The poor monk has been wandering in Qingcheng for many days, and the streets and alleys often smell the smell of Hibiscus stewed soup. It's easy to use, but it's addictive. These days, the poor monks have been treating many people, and they should not be invited for credit if it is a voluntary thing, but at this moment, the poor monks still want to take credit for it, and beg the people not to use this thing again. โ€

Master Kukai lowered his posture very low, but it was precisely this that touched many people.

Needless to say, the master of medicine is not to mention, these days he walks the streets and alleys, and even the intractable diseases that have accumulated over the years can find a cure. This will make him say that Fleur is not good, and there must be something wrong.

Many people remembered that the epilepsy they had mistakenly thought before seemed to be more or less related to Fleur, but it was good after using Fleur, and they mistakenly took โ–กโ–ก as an antidote.

Fortunately, the master pointed out the maze, otherwise the whole Qingcheng would not know how long it would be misunderstood. Obviously he was saving them, but the master put his posture in such a place, so that they still had the face to be greedy for that little appetite.

Everyone made up their minds, and when they went home, they burned all Afurong, and then this matter spread to the hundreds, and it spread all over the streets and alleys of Qingcheng just after noon.

"Everybody's throwing Fleur?"

In the dim room, a noble son dressed in a light cyan robe and tied up with a scarf came out of the mouth of a unique gentle female voice, which was exactly the Shen Moci who found that he was given to King Ping as a thing, and he was completely cold to the Shen family and hated it, and persuaded King Ping to return to Qingcheng in disguise.

When she came back again, she had a clear goal. She wants to get back what belongs to her, although she can't do it now, but she can collect a sum of money in the name of King Ping, and she can make a comeback and slowly figure it out.

It's just that the name of the king of Ping is not right, and with the little marquis in front, the silk merchants who are unprofitable and can't afford to pay early will definitely not give out the silver. At this time, she needed some special method, and she originally wanted to add a little more Fleur to the dishes to confuse people's minds, so that they would be confused and draw on the deed. When everyone wants to figure it out, it will only be Shen Jinshan who will complain, so that she can also take revenge on the Shen family.

But now that Master Kukai said this, everyone believed it, and it was obvious that she couldn't use this trick again.

"Since it can't be used, then put some effort into Maihime. Let's go, go to the jewelry shop. โ€

Hop into the humble carriage and take a detour to the jewellery shop. Thinking that the maid in the courtyard came back and said that there was a new bell jewelry in the jewelry shop, she vaguely remembered that she had learned a dance in the Western Regions before, and the rhythm was extremely unique. If a single jump is just beautiful, but if it is added with a ringtone, it can confuse people's minds.

But what is the situation now?

"None? But you didn't just book! โ€

The maid who passed the message was a little anxious, "Girl, there was it just now, but the store said that it had been bought by all the girls of the Hu family." And...... She even bought the drawings, and this kind of jewelry could only be sold to the Hu family in the future. โ€

Hu Yao! Why is it Hu Yao again!

In a hurry, Shen Moci clenched his palms tightly until he was bleeding.

If you can't find the bell bracelet, the dance will be in vain. The taste of A Hibiscus is familiar to everyone, and she can't let it go blatantly, seeing that the courtyard is about to stage a recruitment banquet after sunset, what else can she do?

I thought too much about it, until the scab formed where the palms were bleeding, until the sound of a woman talking outside.

"Hurry up and throw away this harmful thing, it's still far away, I heard that you can be addicted if you accidentally inhale it."

Suck it in? Shen Moci, who was at a loss, suddenly brightened her eyes, she had a way!
