248 Hellish in heart
"As soon as the Han family, a tea merchant, heard that the army was preparing for war in the yamen, they knew that they had no chance to wait for the day when Chuzhou was lost."
The back house is just a two-entry corridor yard.
Outside the house, a tributary of the Huai River, Wang Cheng became a small pool, and three or four old northern plane trees were planted on the edge of the pool.
The yellow leaves of the sycamore have long since fallen, floating on the light blue water.
Ji Qingchen slept for two and a half days before he got up lazily.
Lao Siniang smiled and freshened up for Ji Qingchen, this lady in charge can think openly, she should eat, sleep, and be in good spirits.
"Lord Lou will be promoted in the future, and Cha Tong Han Mansion will never have a chance to turn over. So I want to beg for mercy from the eldest lady. ”
Lao Siniang obviously also felt that this time she escaped death, not only because of the unlimited future of Lord Lou, but also because the eldest lady herself also had a great contribution to the sea.
As long as the wharf of the East River Road is occupied and the Yangtze River is out, the Ji family can do the tea business in the southwest by themselves.
The Han Mansion should be attached to the name of the eldest lady.
"Where is such a good thing?"
Ji Qingchen laughed,
"They have been in business for two generations, and this time they have monopolized most of the official and private tea farms in Jiangxi because of the crime of rebellion, how can they give up the huge profits of the southwest tea business?"
Because she didn't feel cold when she was dressing thinly, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a charcoal basin in the house.
Chuzhou City is dry and wet in winter, and Ji Qingchen is not used to it.
It was so cold that she wanted to tear down the house and burn the fire, because the siege had endured it.
The streets are filled with fugitives who have frozen to death.
"Childe said that as long as the sea ships are opened, the Jin army on the shore will retreat in the next few days. Ji Niangzi doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Jun Mo was ordered by Lou Yun. took Lang Zhong to the door of the hall,
Childe said. Please ask Ji Niangzi to diagnose the pulse, don't fall into the root of the disease. ”
There is a witch and a doctor like Ji's mother. Ji Qingchen's body has always been delicious.
She was about to smile and shake her head, but she saw Lao Siniang's relieved joy, all of which was a thoughtful and meticulous compliment to Master Lou.
Ji Qingchen tilted his head, and for the first time in recent days, he saw his face in the mirror.
After two or three months of torture and exhaustion, the flesh on her cheeks was almost exhausted.
The skin is darkened, and there are two rings of bruising under the eyes.
If she changed into a white dress and walked out in the middle of the night, it would be no problem to leave a haunted legend in the back house of the military yamen.
“……”
Ji Qingchen didn't expect that he would be so ugly, and he couldn't help but be stunned in the mirror.
When Lou Yun talked to her with a smile the day before yesterday, she always thought that she was not a superb beauty like Jia Guifei and Xu Shuqing. At least he has a pretty face that he can handle.
Lou Yun can also see an affectionate style when he looks at the grimace, Lao Siniang naturally thinks that it is Lord Lou who is attentive to the eldest lady, Ji Qingchen will not be fooled like this:
He must have been weak-hearted.
Ji Qingchen immediately thought of the wharf on the East River Road.
Is Lou Yun hiding something from her?
Waiting for Lang Zhong to come in, checked the pulse, and said something about Jiao Si's depression, he also reminded her:
When I was a child, I was not in good health, girl?
Take care.
In other words, you are not short of money, and you will not find Lord Lou either, why don't you know how to get some Peiyuan's medicinal herbs for maintenance?.
“…… When Ji's mother was in Tangfang, I had tonic every day. ”
Ji Qingchen secretly smiled bitterly.
After arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, the five big and small witch wishes followed Rui Niang and Shuqing respectively. There is also a woman and child who stayed in Mingzhou City to take care of the women and children who did not adapt to the water and soil, but she herself slacked off.
Although Na Langzhong is a doctor in the city's medicine hall, he has now been summoned to the reserve camp in the army.
He simply prescribed three or four days of medicine before leaving.
Lao Siniang thanked again and again. Sent out the door.
Jun Mo took the prescription with a worried face, and wanted to go to the front office to show Lou Yun.
Ji Qingchen laughed.
"I'll show you the prescription."
The five big and small witch wishes around her were all treated with Song Medicine, who was hired from Mingzhou City at a high price in the workshop.
She knows something herself.
"This medicine is Pei Yuan's replenishment of qi and blood. I've really been a bit tired in the past two months. Just eat well and sleep well. Make a copy. Send it to Ji's house to ask Ji's mother to take a look. Ask her to prescribe me some tonics. ”
When she was ten years old, she went to Zhuma Temple, and she also followed Master Kong Ming to eat and sleep well to regain her vitality.
Now she naturally doesn't worry about this.
He Shuqing said. She's also seven or eight months old. When he was born, Chuzhou must be safe. ”
The advantage of Ji's mother staying in Ji's mansion is that Xu Shuqing can cut everything well, and she doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Thinking that this time she had the merit of dedication. Erlang is in Suzhou, San Lang is in Yizhai, the people of the Boat Gang have made military achievements in Chuzhou City, and Tang Fang can finally take root in the Great Song Dynasty.
She felt like she should be able to catch her breath, too.
"It's time for me to recuperate for a few months. Moms are busy, and it's not impossible for me to find a few other people here to take care of housekeeping. ”
Lao Siniang and Jun Mo agreed at the same time.
This is going to get married, and there are few housekeepers and mothers-in-law to help, whether she is the wife of Wen'an County or the wife of Lou Jiedu, it is unseemly.
After she instructed Lao Siniang to pick people in and out of the fang, she asked Junmo outside the door
"The Mingzhou sailor over there in Taicang hasn't traveled yet, and the Han family, a tea merchant, has begged me to come here. Beg for mercy from Lord Lou. Have they found a new backer in the capital? ”
Otherwise, it would not be so well-informed.
"Ji Niangzi, the son doesn't let Ji Niangzi bother, and the son is responsible for everything outside......"
Jun Mo carefully persuaded, but Ji Qingchen said again:
"Good. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the things on the wharf of Chuyang East River? ”
“……”
Jun Mo didn't dare to let Lou Yun's packing ticket reveal what was difficult to do.
And Ji Qingchen's dark eyes with blue and purple circles frightened him after all.
He made a quick decision and said with a smile:
"Ji Niangzi, Lou Ye sent news from the capital. The second master of the Han family in Jiangxi is so shameless in the capital, he is bent on climbing up to the big and small Hans. gave a generous gift to make friends with the master and the curtain in their house. said that he was willing to spend 400,000 yuan to worship his father-in-law in the Prime Minister of Han's mansion, or he was willing to call himself a grandson. ”
When Ji Qingchen heard this, he tilted his head, thought about it, and said:
"Their tea merchant has a lot of money. It can't be given to big and small Koreans in vain. ”
Jun Mo arrived at the front office and sent a prescription to Lou Yun.
Through his mouth, Ji Niangzi summoned the tea merchant and the housekeeper to meet in the back house, and Lou Yun also knew about it.
In the official room, Zhang Xueli nodded and said:
"My lord, Mrs. Ji has handled it properly. Now that the war is not over, we must be careful that Prime Minister Han competes with adults. The Jiangxi tea merchants are willing to make money, and they will always ask them to find a few clans in the capital, or the ministers in the six departments as backers, rather than letting the Prime Minister's Mansion win over them, it is better to let Ji Niangzi come forward to appease them.
