Chapter XXXI. Collection of Arrears
In the end, Dongfang Duyu was not lucky enough to escape from the two brothers of the Zuo family, and once again honorably moved into the ancestral hall. And the elixir that had just been distributed to the palaces and halls in the palace was gone......
When Yao Di was awakened from time to time in her sleep, Yan Ziqing was already lying in the comfortable palace with the elixir she had scavenged, and she was asleep!
Summer mornings always come very early, today, Xiao Yi was woken up very early, it turned out to be Zhang Ping, the chief eunuch of the Great Inner Eunuch, who hurriedly came to ask for medicine!
Xiao Yi was lying in Long Moran's arms and yawning incessantly, and his pitiful appearance made Long Moran panic in his heart! Seeing that Zhao Yue led someone into the door, he looked displeased.
"II...... Second prince? Zhang Ping looked at the people on the main seat in surprise, he never imagined that such a noble master would appear in this general's mansion that was disgusted by the emperor and wanted to kill him quickly!
"What? I didn't know that the governor of your country was such a rude person......" The sarcastic words did not diminish the immortal aura on that jade-like face that did not stir up dust.
Zhang Ping sighed in his heart, immediately saluted, and said respectfully: "The old slave didn't expect the second prince to be in this general's mansion, he was surprised for a while, lost his manners, and asked the second prince for forgiveness!" ”
"Xiao Yi and I hit it off at first sight, and at Xiao Yi's kind invitation, we came to Dongfang Mansion as a guest ......" Long Moran looked at the groveling eunuch, lightly buckled the table, and said lightly: "Listening to Gonggong Zhang's tone, it seems that I shouldn't be here?" ”
Zhang Ping was drenched in a cold sweat, he knew the ability of this second prince, and even heard that he was ambushed and killed by his brother on the way to Gujia. Unexpectedly, within a few days, he appeared alive in the palace hall. Rare treasures were also presented as a congratulatory gift for Kita Nao-o's birthday! No, Bei Shangxiong treats him as a guest, how dare he, the head of the eunuch, make a mistake......
immediately apologized again and again: "The old slave is rude, the old slave has no eyes......"
"You do have no eyes!" Long Moran interrupted Zhang Ping's words in a cold voice, and said impatiently: "What are you trying to do to disturb people's dreams like this?" I don't mind letting my men give you a ride! ”
"Uncle Dragon. Send him away, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep......" Xiao Yi only heard the last words of Long Mo in a daze. Immediately agreed, he slept late yesterday and didn't wake up at all!
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Zhang Ping raised his head slightly and looked at Long Mo Ran, who was looking at the little doll dotingly. Big surprise. Why is this cold and fairy-like man so interested in the little doll of the eldest lady of the Dongfang family, this is obviously not a good sign......
Thinking like this, he happened to face the cold eyes that Shanglong Mo stabbed at him, and he trembled with fright, and begged with a sad face: "His Majesty the Emperor came to order me to find the elixir, I came to ask the little young master for medicine......"
"Asking for medicine?" Long Mo Ran raised his eyebrows: "You bought all the medicine yesterday, isn't it enough for the palace?" Having said that, Long Mo Ran already had a rough guess in his heart.
Zhang Ping looked dead and the whole family grieved. Crying and complaining: "I don't know which thief who suffered from the plague stole all the elixir!" ”
"So. It's only early in the morning, and I'm here to disturb the little miracle doctor, otherwise how can the old slave have the guts~" Zhang Ping leaned over, and the folds on his face were full of sorrow, which made Long Moran's originally bad mood even worse!
"Xiao Yi, do you still have any medicine? If you have one, sell it to him, and let's go back to sleep, shall we? ”
Looking at the "soft whisper" that Long Mo dyed in Xiao Yi's ears, Zhang Ping's eyes widened again, obediently, did these two princes really hit this little doll at first sight! Xiao Yi's reputation has long been spread in Shouyang City, Zhang Ping is just a gimmick thrown out by Dongfang Mansion, and now at a glance, it doesn't seem to be what the people in the palace imagined......
If Bei Shangxiong knew, I am afraid that he would be furious, yesterday he went back with the extremely expensive "black powder", it would be bad for Bei Shangxiong to scold, if it wasn't for the black powder in the moment of opening to make the Qinzheng Palace in the stinky haze immediately see the clear, I'm afraid his two old legs will be broken.
But who would have expected that there would be thieves to steal, in the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep, and was woken up by the stench before half an hour, no, he left the palace before dawn, but hurried to the Dongfang Mansion, and the sun had already come out!
Xiao Yi wrinkled his nose, turned his head sideways, unwilling to open his eyes glued together, and said in the direction of Zhang Ping: "I sold you all the medicine yesterday......"
Zhang Ping immediately howled out, a handful of snot and tears, completely lost his usual majestic and pretending to be a tiger: "Little master, do you see if there is anything left?" If there is nothing left, can we go and pick up some more medicine and reconcoct it? If it's myrrh, I really won't be able to go back alive......"
"There are very few medicines, but my mother gave it to me, and I don't know if there is a ......" With his eyes closed, Xiao Yi's mind was flying, wouldn't it be possible to make another profit, anyway, there are a lot of leaves in the brilliant thousand suns, and if you don't make money, you won't make money!
"Then little master, can you go and ask your mother for more?" Zhang Ping's face is full of folds piled together, and he can't wait to paste a little doll's favorite flower directly on his face!
The confused Xiao Yi saw his face suddenly approaching from his squinted eyes, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at all! Both hands hugged the neck of the dragon ink dye!
"Stay away!" The cold words blurted out, but when he lowered his eyes, it was the jade boy who was as moist as water.
Zhang Ping stepped back as he said, looking at the little doll in Long Moran's arms......
was stared at by an old eunuch with such "affectionate" eyes, Xiao Yi suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, and Xiao Bai and Doudou hanging on his shoulders were also frightened to wake up, got into Xiao Yi's collar, and continued to sleep!
Xiao Yi pretended to compare his fingers, and hesitantly spit out a sentence that made Zhang Ping ecstatic: "Mother...... In fact, there is a medicine......"
"Then the little young master, sell it to me!" Zhang Ping took a step forward excitedly, and the corners of his eyes that were immediately thrown by Long Mo were frozen in place! Although there was a cold sweat on his back, it was difficult to hide his high mood! "Little master, I brought all the gold today!"
In order to buy medicine, Zhang Ping also fought hard!
With cash, of course Xiao Yi was satisfied, and Zhao Yue, who was shouting to be the god of the door, followed Zhang Ping to count the gold! Zhang Ping couldn't ask for it, and he was happy. When Zhao Yue ordered the gold, Xiao Yi waved his little hand and decisively entered the warehouse!
Zhang Ping was stunned and looked at the trick in general, his money was gone, and he was shocked!
However, Xiao Yi said unhurriedly: "I accepted the gold, but there is still a shortage of five thousand three hundred and forty taels of gold!" ”
"Accepted?" Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn't disappear out of thin air, but thinking of Xiao Yi's last words, Zhang Ping was a little confused: "There is still a shortage of five thousand three hundred and forty taels of gold?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Yi nodded, and explained to Zhang Ping, who looked confused: "You took my medicine last night and didn't pay for it, and the money you bring now is still five thousand three hundred and forty taels short of the price we agreed!" As he spoke, he carefully found the precious IOU, spread it out in front of Zhang Ping, and showed it to him!
Zhang Ping stared at the black and white words, dumbfounded! I roared in my heart, this is the gold to buy medicine today, why did I pay the arrears?! (To be continued......)
