Chapter 154: Cornered

The little maid stationed at the gate of the palace hurriedly handed over the food box to the old mother in the inner courtyard, and before he could leave, he saw Gong Yihan leading a few big masters out of the study, and hurriedly stood in front of the courtyard gate to salute.

was explaining the matter to the principals, Gong Yihan's broken eyes inadvertently swept away, and he saw the old mother and the little maid in his small dining room standing in front of the courtyard gate in the distance; After turning his eyes slightly, he noticed the food box in the old mother's hand, and his rigorous face was also slightly moved.

She's here again today?! Gong Yihan suddenly had such a thought in his mind, but the food box in his mother's hand made Gong Yihan feel that such a thought was a little ridiculous: it was too obvious.

Raising his hand, he waved to the little guy standing at the gate of the courtyard, and the little guy also trotted over with a nervous face.

"What does the head of the house command?"

"I can order someone to prepare a carriage, and I will go to the 'Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop'."

"Yes."

The little guy who had just received the conversation was about to bow down and leave, but suddenly Gong Yihan remembered something, and asked more casually.

"How long has the girl who delivered the food box been waiting outside the house today?"

Regarding the inquiry of the head of the family, the unnaturalness on the face of the little servant became even stronger, and after a pause, he still did not dare to hide it.

"About an hour."

It's still punctual. Since Gong Xun's incident, the woman called "Hour" will deliver food boxes to her house, rain or shine, and she must wait outside her mansion for an hour, and patience is not ordinarily good.

In the matter of accidentally injuring himself, although Gong Yihan didn't think much about it. But it is inevitable that there will be no pimples left in the heart; However, this girl's attitude of admitting her mistakes has changed Gong Yihan a lot in the observation of these days.

Thinking of this, Gong Yihan's cold eyes had a little more warmth. is indeed a woman who dares to act.

"Ask Mama He to send the 'Hibiscus Golden Crisp' in the food box to my study."

The stunned little guy nodded hurriedly and hurriedly went to do what the master ordered. Speaking of Zhu Xishi's "hibiscus golden crisp", even Gong Yihan, who has never liked pastries very much, became addicted; The entrance is crispy, slightly chewy, and the taste is not sweet or greasy, with a lingering tea fragrance. Sometimes when reading a book, come to a piece, with a cup of sweet rain before the dragon well. It is indeed a pleasure to relax and tired the body and mind.

It is said that the fine cooking skills indirectly reflect a person's temperament, but the frizzy behavior of the "hour" girl before is completely different from the elegant pastries she made. Gong Yihan suddenly couldn't grasp this woman. What the hell is this person?

She feels like this "hibiscus golden crisp", which is more and more evocative

As usual, he sent a food box to Gong Yihan in the palace to make amends, and Zhu Xishi was like a headless fly in the large and small medicinal herb shops in Lin'an City.

The so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice. Now it is Ren Sheng Zijun's medical skills, no matter how clever he is. Without a source of supply of medicinal materials, their medical center has gradually fallen into a state of "paralysis".

Since half a month ago, he had a falling out with the group of high-spirited guys of the "Xinglin Medical Association" in the medical hall, and this group of old men has been ruthlessly cracking down on Zhu Xishi and Sheng Zijun's "Butterfly Medical Hall"; Originally, the medicine store that provided medicinal materials to their medical hall was cut off because of the words of the "Xinglin Medical Association".

During this period of time, the anxious Zhu Xishi and Sheng Zijun have almost traveled to all the medicinal herb stores in the city; Even if they placed orders at a price higher than the usual thirty percent, the medicinal herb stores controlled by the "Xinglin Medical Association" all turned them away, undoubtedly to kill their "Butterfly Medical Hall" and completely drive them out of Lin'an City.

And the other side. In the past, Zhu used to make the head of the palace family lose face, and he had already caused a stir in Lin'an City; Although the medicinal herbs in the hands of the Gong family are polite on the surface. But secretly let Zhu Xishi and Sheng Zijun touch soft nails. The attitude of not agreeing or refusing to negotiate every time made the two of them jump to their feet.

The tricky situation is undoubtedly a disaster! Under the huge pressure from both ends, Zhu Xi wanted to try his luck at the "Xiangyun Medicinal Material Store" in the east of the city; Now as long as there is a little possibility of resurrection, she doesn't want to let go of it.

Look at what you have on your face, it is better than the closure of the "Butterfly Medical Hall" that you have painstakingly managed. Taking a deep breath, Zhu Xishi, who was standing outside the "Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop", took a big stride and walked inside.

"Yo, hello girl, are you here to order medicinal herbs?"

As soon as Zhu Xishi stepped into this "Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop", the running guy in the line posted it with a hot face, and she also nodded slightly embarrassed.

"Little brother, don't you know where the shopkeeper of your medicinal herb shop is?"

When he saw Zhu Xishi, he asked about the shopkeeper, and this man-like guy saw that he was a big buyer, and the joy between his eyebrows and eyes became more and more brilliant, and he hurriedly led her to Accord in a good anger.

"Girl, please, I'll go and inform my shopkeeper."

Looking at the enthusiasm of the guys running the hall, Zhu Xishi's heart was even more empty, if he let them know that he was a person from the "Butterfly Medical Hall" later, I am afraid that it would not be easy to put on a good face.

Tremblingly sat in the Accord for a while, Zhu Xishi saw the guy on the other side leading a man who looked like a steward to come over, and he couldn't sit still and got up to greet him.

"Keep the girl waiting. I am Xue Rui, the deputy shopkeeper of the 'Xiangyun Medicinal Materials Store', and the shopkeeper has important matters to deal with at this time, so he will greet the girl on his behalf. If you are not careful, I hope the girl will forgive me. ”

"Shopkeeper Xue is polite."

"Girl, please take a seat." Xue Rui politely invited, then sat down on the mahogany chair beside Zhu Xishi, and asked in retreat: "I don't know what the girl is called, which medical hall is her peer?" ”

At this time, although Zhu Xishi was apprehensive in her heart, she was at ease when she came, and she had nothing to scruple about for the survival of the hospital, and she calmly returned the gift to Xue Rui.

"When the little woman was young, she was the chief of the 'Butterfly Medical Hall' in Xinglin Lane in Lin'an City."

Xue Rui, who had just sat down, heard Zhu Xishi report that he was the head of the "Butterfly Medical Hall", and his face suddenly changed. blurted out a rhetorical question.

"The girl is the head of the 'Butterfly Doctor'?!"

"Exactly."

Xue Rui's surprise, Zhu Xishi naturally understood it in his eyes: taboo her and Gong Yihan's affairs!

After confirming the origin of the woman in front of him, Xue Rui must have lost his previous good voice. There was a little more arrogance between his eyebrows.

"The name of the little girl is really thunderous! I don't know what the girl is doing when she comes to our palace family's 'Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop' this time?! ”

Zhu Xi was not a fool, Xue Rui deliberately said the word "Gong family" very seriously, to remind her of what identity she dared to go wild on the territory of the Gong family again. Although the other party's unkindness made Zhu Xishi scruples, she had no choice but to be cheeky and express her intentions.

"Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Xue, the little woman came to your medicinal herb store this time to order a batch of urgently needed medicinal materials. If the shopkeeper Xue does not care about the previous suspicions. hours are willing to buy at a price higher than 30% of the market. ”

Although Zhu Xishi threw out the sincerity of the price higher than the market by 30%, Xue Rui did not seem to be much moved by his face, but only faintly replied to Zhu Xishi.

"Little girl. Although the price you offer is attractive, it is a pity that there are few small monks in our 'Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop' temple, and I am afraid that we can't afford to be a 'big money master' like you, so please go back." ”

Really. Spread out your identity. These people under the Gong family began to fight with her. Zhu Xi had seen a lot of such a situation a few days ago, and he was quite calm in coping with it.

"Shopkeeper Xue, the little woman knows what you are afraid of, the misunderstanding between me and the young master of the palace, I am trying my best to make up for it. But after all, it is one yard to one yard, and I hope that Shopkeeper Xue will not buy and sell business to child's play because of a little suspicion. ”

Although Zhu Xishi's words were reasonable, Xue Rui seemed to have his own opinions, and with a faint smile, he asked Zhu Xishi beside him.

"Little girl. Xue dared to ask, have you been running around in Lin'an recently? ”

After some pleading. When Xue Rui suddenly asked Zhu Xi, although she was puzzled, she nodded after thinking for a while.

"In that case, dare to ask the girl what is the attitude of these herb shops?"

"None of them accepted."

Zhu Xishi's answer was crisp, but Xue Rui's face became more and more affirmative.

"That's it. Since the girl lobbied the medicinal herb shops to no avail, there is naturally something wrong with it, so why did our 'Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop' take the risk of taking the girl's business? ”

Xue Rui replied with a full sentence, and immediately stunned Zhu Xishi, and wanted to open his mouth to argue about something several times, but he was also short of words.

"Girl, business pays attention to harmony and wealth, and now that you're 'Butterfly Doctor' poking out such a big basket, do you think we will be enemies with other medicinal herbs for the sake of mere thirty percent of the interests? Obviously an unwise choice. ”

"But Shopkeeper Xue"

"Little girl, you don't have to. This matter is forgiven Xue Mou, who can't be the master and can't be the master, you better go back. ”

Suddenly, Xue Rui bowed his hand, got up and walked towards the inner hall without looking back.

Zhu Xishi, who was stunned for a moment, saw Xue Rui, who was gradually leaving, and he also chased forward unwillingly, wiping his face and pleading.

"Shopkeeper Xue, please be accommodating, if this continues, our medical hall will really not be able to earn it!!"

"Girl, don't say much, Xiao Ke, send this young girl!"

"Shopkeeper Xue, shopkeeper Xue, please be accommodating"

At this time, Gong Yihan, who was patrolling on the second floor, happened to bump into this scene; After looking at it for a while, there was also a little touch in a pair of clear cold eyes, and he turned his head slightly and asked the shopkeeper of this "Xiangyun Medicinal Material Shop".

"What's going on down there?"

Gong Yihan's question was a test of the few stewards who followed closely. Didn't the girl below have a holiday with the head of the house? At present, this one is clearly to drive this girl. But now Gong Yihan's strange questioning tone is ambiguous, which tests their insight ability.

The people behind him were silent for a while, and it was still the new head of the thirty-second hall, Jin Shaode, who hurriedly stepped forward and replied politely.

"My subordinates don't know. If the head of the family has any questions, he might as well call this Xue Rui up and ask. ”

"Go and call Xue Rui up."

Gong Yihan's words at this time were like a whip from a fast horse, and suddenly a flower of surprise exploded in everyone's hearts. (To be continued......)
