Steward Gu, who was bandaged and wrapped his head, led a large group of subordinates out, and it looked like a big battle.

Steward Gu led a group of guards to put out the wrapped medicines and medicinal materials, and at the same time, the Yan family's shops in Wanqiong Kingdom, whether it was a silk village, an antique shop, or a grocery store, all began to sell medicinal materials.

What's even more shocking is that the price of medicine is so cheap that you don't believe it.

The people looked at the medicinal herbs released suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really so cheap?" ”

Butler Gu carried a new account book in his hand and announced in a loud voice: "Anyone who has a household registration in Wanqiongguo, every household can get a number to come to the store where the Yan family is located to buy medicinal materials, but each household can only buy according to the number of people. ”

"What? Your eldest lady's conscience found that she couldn't make black money, so she wanted to sell it cheaply and buy people's hearts? ”

The beggar who was carrying the pole suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly: "People, don't believe what this profiteer says, they just want to win people's hearts, think about how much money they earned us before, and now these medicinal materials should be given to us!" Isn't it? ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd rushed to echo.

"That's right! It's time to give it to us! ”

"It's all ours, if he doesn't give it, we'll take back what belongs to us."

Steward Gu's right eyelid jumped, not good, the people were instigated.

He took a deep breath and said, don't worry, miss.

Even if the old man fights for his life, he will complete what you tell him.

Steward Gu stood up and said calmly: "There are buying and selling in business, the Yan family has never made a penny of black money, if you are unhappy in your heart, you can go to the official and incite others to rob things here, what are you doing!" If you buy something, please queue up, and if you don't buy it, please walk away, so as not to hinder others from buying things. ”

Hearing this, the person who raised his hand and shouted just now was silent.

Aunt Cai pushed away the crowd and stood at the front, her face was full of disberence, she glared at Steward Gu, and said: "My Aunt Cai sells vegetables in the main city, but she is a well-known child, don't give me a shortage of catties or two, I have five people in my family, and the medicine for the plague will come with five packs." ”

"Huh?"

Yingniang, who is over half a hundred years old, looked at Aunt Cai who would 'change her face' with dumbfounded eyes.

In the middle of the sound, he reacted, for fear that he would not be able to pick up the leak, so he hurriedly rushed up to line up, "Give me a few packs too, my family of six." ”

"Okay, please put a handprint here."

Ah Ming and Ah Jean, two clever ghosts, ran down with the account book, and smiled heartily at the sisters-in-law, like the spring sunshine, and the warm flowers bloomed, the sisters-in-law's hearts melted instantly, and they took the initiative to cooperate with the registration.

Seeing the women happily taking the medicine away, the people who still refused to give up all rushed to surround them, and An An lined up separately.

The troublesome beggar was squeezed to the ground by the crowd, and looked at the departing backs in astonishment.

"Wait, you're going to give in like this? Do you still have a bit of backbone? Are they wicked profiteers, who want to kill us? ”

One by one, the people passed by him, but none of their eyes stayed on him.

Soon, the people lined up from the street to the end of the street, and the crowd was endless, and the queue was continuous.

The beggar was mad, he yelled at Steward Gu: "Don't think that a little medicine can buy people's hearts, what your Yan family has done, you know for yourself, sooner or later you will be punished." ”

Steward Gu retorted sternly: "Our Yan family's line is right, if you talk nonsense again, the old man will let people send you to the yamen and send the official to investigate!" ”

"I'm not going to give up!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the beggar had no choice but to flee with his tail between his legs.

Soon, the price of medicine in the main city took the lead in dropping, and the local wealthy families didn't know if they had received any wind, knowing that there was a big household in the main city who was willing to sell the medicine regardless of the cost, so they were worried that the medicinal materials they had accumulated in the warehouse would become the bottom of the warehouse and could not be sold.

He was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit at the table, and he didn't wait for the flying pigeon to come to the main city for several days, and he was hesitating to sell the medicinal herbs at a low price first.

That night, the famous Rongxianglou was chartered by a certain dignitary, and no one could enter unless there was an invitation in hand.

The people who came out of the sedan chair were all wearing cloaks, and they couldn't tell who was who at all.

I just know that tonight's Rongxianglou is extraordinary.

Everyone lowered their heads and gathered around the table, and Mrs. Feng, who was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in speaking.

"Everyone?"

Mrs. Xian of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu glanced at the people present, and said calmly: "Those who should come are here, and don't wait if you don't dare to come." ”

"Let's start then, have you heard of today's events?"

"I've heard it, the Yan family 'opened a warehouse for disaster relief'."

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Hai, who was still in the ministry, slapped a fan on the table.

"Damn, what kind of trick is the eldest lady of the Yan family playing, didn't she push up the price of things? Now, she has come out to be a good person, which is really different. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xian shook her fan and said comfortingly: "Mrs. Hai, don't worry, Mrs. Ben guessed that maybe it was the mob that scared Miss Yan, so she had to make this decision, haven't you heard that the Yan family was set on fire?" ”

The most gossipy Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but speak.

"I heard. The Yan family's mansion was set on fire, and even the ancestral hall was burned. Until now, her body has not been found, and I don't know if she is dead. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Mrs. Hai suddenly realized, "She's dead?" It's no wonder, it must be the housekeeper's own idea, thinking that the master is dead, so he will take the opportunity to make a fortune and then escape. ”

"So, aren't we wrong Miss Yan?" Mrs. Thorn exclaimed.

Yan Rubing drank tea silently, listening to the discussion of the ladies, and the black mist in her eyes was bottomless.

"Why don't we find someone to buy him and buy all the medicinal materials in his hands?" Mrs. Zhang boldly proposed.

"Okay, it's just, who should be involved in this matter? My distant cousins asked me if I should sell the 'wood' I was hoarding. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Hai's face is very ugly, if she loses money to her mother's family, she will not have a good face to show her during the New Year.

"Don't sell it yet." Mrs. Feng spoke, "First inquire about the reality of the Yan family, find out if Yan Shunhua is really dead, whether the 'wood' hoarded by his family is enough to survive the winter, besides, if you hoard privately, you will be arrested, there are so many people here, so many pairs of ears, in case someone goes to report to the official, can her Yan family's things still be kept?" ”

Before the words were finished, there were exclamations.

Everyone praised Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites for being a smart and knowledgeable person, and praised her as something in the sky and no one in the earth, but Yan Rubing had been sitting silently in the corner, snickering silently.

Before long, this unworthy banquet was dissolved.

Yan Rubing walked slowly behind, and she only came out of Rongxiang Building when almost all the noble ladies went out.

The maid was waiting beside the sedan chair with her face covered, she walked over gracefully, opened her red lips and ordered: "Mrs. Hai, who has been following the official department in the past few days, especially the maid of her family, if something interesting happens, remember to come back and talk to Mrs. Ben." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

As expected, Mrs. Hai, who was the secretary of the ministry, was the most uncontrollable person, and on the second day of the banquet, Mrs. Hai couldn't help but send someone to knock on the door of the Yan family.

At that time, her sedan chair was parked outside the door.

Xiaohong, the personal maid, hurriedly stepped forward and said boldly: "My young lady invites Miss Yan to come over for a gathering." ”

The nursing home at the door took the post suspiciously, opened it and took a look, "Miss Haijia? The main city has never heard of the eldest lady and the surname Hai have dealings? I have to ask Steward Gu about this matter before I can give a reply to Sister Maiden, please wait a while. ”

Xiaohong nodded, exhaled lightly, and watched the nursing home at the door enter.

Before long, the nursing home came out with a little girl.

Xiaohong asked with a look of surprise, "Who is this?" Brother Nursing Home, didn't you just say that you want to ask the housekeeper Gu? ”

The nurse nodded, and said with a hearty smile: "This is Sister Shuangshuang, she handles the affairs of the eldest lady on weekdays, and today Steward Gu went out and hasn't come back yet, so the little one went to ask Sister Shuangshuang, if there is anything, you just tell her." ”

Mrs. Hai in the sedan chair was a little displeased, the sedan chair was already hot, Yan Shunhua didn't forget it, even Steward Gu refused to come out, did she look down on her name as a secretary?

The maid Xiaohong is not usually a person who can call the shots.

She looked at Yan Shuangshuang with an embarrassed expression, "I don't know if Sister Shuangshuang, can you help ask the eldest lady, my young lady wants to invite her to a party." ”

"Huh? Miss, huh? But she's not there. Frost Mouth replied quickly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hai was overjoyed in her heart, thinking to herself, it seems that Yan Shunhua was really burned to death, and now it is easy to get it done.

Xiaohong, who was blue and white, looked back at Mrs. Hai, looked at her and looked at her, Steward Gu, go and ask

The little maid nodded in a panic, hurriedly looked at Frost and asked again:

"I don't know, I don't know... Can Steward Gu get together at the house? ”

Frost looked up and thought about it seriously, and looked down at Xiaohong sincerely.

"Frost doesn't know, Steward Gu is uncertain, and he is very easy to get angry, if Frost asks when he is happy, he may agree, but if Frost asks when he is unhappy, he will be furious, angry, like a rooster with a red ass!"

"Who's the cock with the ass burning red!"

Steward Gu frowned, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together like resentment, and he stared at Yan Shuangshuang tightly.

"Oh no, he spoke ill of him, and he was found again." The little girl hurriedly ran away, and just a few steps away, she was caught by Steward Gu.

"Frost! How can you leave the guests and run away, are there any rules, and when the eldest lady comes back, I'll clean you up! Steward Gu reprimanded in a low voice.

"Oh." Frost stood pitifully with her head down.

Suddenly, Steward Gu turned his deep eyes, looked at the little girl in front of him, and said, "Which noble family's maid are you, what is the matter with coming here to find the eldest lady?" ”

Xiaohong swallowed in a panic, almost forgetting the prepared excuse.

"My young lady has admired Miss Yan for a long time and wants to invite her to a party."

"What? Admired for a long time? ”

Steward Gu and Frost were shocked.

When did the eldest lady even have the heart of a female dependent... It's so charming.

Mrs. Hai in the sedan chair was so angry that her mouth was about to crooked, and she slapped the sedan chair vigorously, making the sedan chair crackle and sway.

What the hell is that dead girl thinking?!

Xiaohong suddenly remembered, and hurriedly changed her words: "My young lady admires the eldest lady of the Yan family for her business methods, and wants to invite her to a gathering at the house and ask for advice." ”

"Oh, so I asked for advice on how to do business." Steward Gu thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "It's a pity, the eldest lady has been actively studying poetry and poetry recently, forgetting to sleep and eating, and ignoring all the things outside. ”

"Research, research poetry and songs? This... Can you let her get together with my young lady and study it again? It's hard for my young lady to come out, and she is very sincere. ”

The little girl suddenly became anxious, as if she was about to cry.
