Chapter 160: One More Person
Gong Zhijin didn't look at his anxious look, but walked towards the desk by himself, without any expression on his face, if he hadn't responded to Ye Mingxuan's words, otherwise, it would have been like he had completely ignored him.
"Don't talk about it. I know you know it in your heart. This old man has been getting more and more confused recently, but this is okay, my marriage can be delayed. ”
Ye Mingxuan was so surrounded by Gongzhi Jin, the anxiety just now was immediately gone, and there was even some smile on his face. But instead, the smile immediately dissipated, and Ye Mingxuan took a few steps forward and approached some Gongzhijin.
"After this incident, my old man won't care too much about me in that kind of thing, next time you send troops, take me?"
Ye Mingxuan's tone obviously had a sense of expectation, he had a good kung fu, but he had never gone out to practice. followed Gong Zhijin, and also had selfish intentions in this regard.
"Based on the situation at the time."
Gong Zhijin didn't completely agree, but he didn't completely deny it either. However, in Ye Mingxuan's opinion, Gong Zhijin, who is indifferent and decisive, can say such a thing, which can already make him very excited.
"Haha, then I'm relieved. But...... I heard that the emperor wants to reward our princess with some strange treasures? Is this true or false? ”
Ye Mingxuan's expression turned very serious, although this matter had nothing to do with him, he still felt that he should pay attention to it, after all, if the princess received the benefit of the emperor, it was inevitable that the emperor would take the next step soon, and the princess would not be able to enter the palace at that time.
As soon as the princess entered the palace, the probability of being instructed by the emperor to deal with Gongzhijin was basically 100%.
"If I don't agree, it's impossible to collect."
Gong Zhijin heard the news for the first time, and for some reason, even if the emperor was sarcastic in front of him, he wouldn't mind much, but now, a nameless fire rose in his heart.
"Hmm...... That's good. ”
Without looking at Gongzhi Jin's somewhat changed expression, Ye Mingxuan nodded and said to himself.
"I've said everything I want to say, so I'll go first. I'm tired in the frontier these days, so rest early. ”
After being silent for a while, Ye Mingxuan raised his head and looked at Gong Zhijin, and at this moment he had recovered to his original state. But the face is not very good. The already fair face, at this moment, seems to have a trace of whiteness, and fatigue is also shown on the face.
"Hmm."
Gongzhijin responded indifferently, but did not look up. Seeing that Ye Mingxuan was about to leave, he followed without regret and sent him out.
It was almost dusk, and the books in the study were all illuminated a little yellow, Gongzhijin got up and flipped through the few books he often read, and then put the books in his hand back on the shelf, and then sat back on the chair.
I don't have the heart to read books now.
Gong Zhijin recalled the conversation with Qiao Niannian in the medicine shop.
If Qiao Niannian knew that he was the Yan King when he first saw him, then it would be impossible to have today's conversation with him. If she is just one of her partners, and she also hides her identity, it is not particularly difficult to know more about her.
"Lord Wang, the hypocrisy you arranged before has been accepted by the princess as a subordinate. It's just that he's been in the pharmacy outside the house lately. ”
After sending Ye Mingxuan away without regret, he came back and explained to him about his falsehood.
"Got it."
Looking at the golden light in front of him, Gongzhi Jin's cold expression seemed to be dyed with a layer of warmth.
And Qiao Niannian and the others also returned to Wei Yixuan.
"I don't have to serve dinner, I don't have an appetite."
I was really tired today, but I didn't have any desire to eat. Maybe it's because I ate a little bit of food at noon.
So, Qiao Niannian finished the medicine early and rested.
After Yun'er went out in response, she stood at the door and didn't leave for a long time.
At the entrance of the pharmacy, they met an elderly man who was seriously ill, and he was very pitiful. Originally, Yun'er thought that since Qiao Niannian could save her mother, she would definitely help this person, but she didn't expect that Qiao Niannian was just walking straight in front of him, and she didn't want to stop at all.
Although it seemed to be a serious illness, for Qiao Niannian, it was just a matter of effort, but she responded to it with an indifferent attitude, which made Yun'er feel cold.
Perhaps, Madame, she is trying to hide her medical skills, or perhaps, she may think that she is not a doctor and cannot control so many sick people.
Yun'er immediately shook her head, stopped thinking, and walked towards the kitchen.
In the past few days, King Yan didn't bother her, and Qiao Niannian didn't feel anything, thinking that King Yan was busy with affairs. Therefore, as long as she is free, she will leave the house, go to the pharmacy, and take care of the business with Yan Xuan, and the Liang Gongzi she thought often came to the pharmacy and ran it with her.
Today, there are more people coming to the pharmacy than in previous days, and there is an extremely long queue in front of the door, all waiting to dispense medicine.
Gong Zhijin glanced at the recent accounts and found that he had indeed made much more profit than before. He then put down the ledger and looked at Qiao Niannian, who was sniffing the newly arrived medicinal herbs.
"It seems that the method you said is indeed effective."
Hearing this compliment, Qiao Niannian was happy in his heart. Because he had never done this kind of business before, the first time he ran a pharmacy, it was quite improved, and Qiao Niannian felt happy in his heart.
"If you see that there are more customers, it means that it is indeed effective. It's just that these are still superficial phenomena, and if you want to really make the medicine shop popular, it's not so simple. ”
It's just a promotion, and it doesn't mean that this situation will last. At present, it is just doing a promotion to increase the number of customers. It not only makes the customers lost by the business depression of hundreds of pharmacies in recent years refreshing, but also makes those who are not familiar with Baijia pharmacies familiar with them.
"If you say that, it means you have a better plan in mind?"
Gong Zhijin looked at Qiao Niannian who was not flustered at all but very calm and calm, and was already a little curious about her, but now he wanted to find out.
Qiao Niannian smiled peacefully in his heart, in fact, what is so difficult about this, he just wants to make him feel difficult. I told him everything, then I must have suffered.
But on the surface, she didn't show her psychology, Qiao Niannian just said lightly: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
It seems that she is indeed a very smart woman, and when Gongzhijin saw her like this, she didn't bother with this matter. just turned his eyes to Yan Yan and Yun'er outside, and then turned his gaze to her.
"After knowing each other for so long, the girl doesn't seem to have told me her name. Since we have all worked together, I dare to ask, whose lady is the girl? ”
Hearing this, Qiao Niannian was a little shocked in his heart, as if he hadn't told him his name. In ancient times, this seemed like an impolite thing.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy with the pharmacy lately, so I forgot about this matter." Qiao Niannian lowered her head, although she was apologizing, Gong Zhijin couldn't see that she had the appearance of apology.
"The little girl Qiao Nian is just a small family, not enough to worry about." I heard from the people in the pharmacy that this Liang Gongzi came from other places, and Qiao Niannian still remembered that he said his name a few days ago.
"I see." She must have just made up the words, but Gong Zhijin didn't poke them, but her eyes closed slightly, "Is there any injury on the girl's face?" Why is it covered up with yarn? ”
Gently stroking the white veil on his face, Qiao Niannian's tone became slightly colder. The scars in this are not caused by the Qiao family. Fortunately, I know medical skills now, otherwise I would have to leave such a red scar for the rest of my life.
"It's poison. I went to that pharmacy because I wanted some herbs to make some antidotes. But the reason for this, presumably Childe is not interested, and I don't want to say. ”
Qiao Nianniannian's life in the pharmacy in the past few days was happier than all the previous days combined. Maybe it's because I like to do novel things, or maybe I don't want to live in the Yanwang Mansion or Qiao's Mansion where there are a lot of rules.
"Since the girl doesn't want to say it, I won't force it." Gong Zhijin sensed some change in her tone, so she didn't ask anymore. It's just that some different thoughts came out of my mind.
In the past, it was impossible for Gongzhijin to have the slightest mercy for a woman, but now, when he heard Qiao Niannian describe his suffering at home in that cold tone, he felt a trace of pity.
If this is known to those who know him, I don't know how surprised he will be.
"However, the business of this pharmacy has become popular, so according to what I said before, you can use the medicine in this pharmacy at will. By the way, I also know a few people who are very good at medicine, and if the girl needs it, she can come to me. ”
Qiao Niannian moved her gaze to Gong Zhijin's face, which was still glowing with cold light.
"No, I don't."
Then, she moved her gaze to the place she had just been, and said no more.
Gong Zhijin also thought that he had poked her sadness, according to what he knew about her in the past few days, although coldness was her norm, but at this moment, she seemed to have a trace of hidden anger.
"The medicinal herbs that came in some time ago will arrive in the last batch in the afternoon. When the time comes, you will accompany me to take the inventory, although I am very proficient in medical skills, but I still have to ask you for some advice on the inventory of this medicinal material. ”
In ancient times, the name of this medicinal material, Qiao Niannian was still not very clear. All she knew was what it was in modern times, and what it was for.
Seeing that Qiao Niannian quickly recovered his mood, as if nothing had happened just now, this made Gongzhi Jin's heart shocked again, there are a few people in the world who can switch emotions at will.
"Hmm."
Soon, it was evening again, and after sorting out all the medicinal materials, Qiao Niannian said goodbye to Gongzhijin, and then walked towards Yanwang's Mansion with Yun'er.
"I don't want to eat fish soup tonight, I want to try it differently. Isn't there anything to eat this season? ”
Thinking that some foods in ancient times were very seasonal, when did he want to eat them but didn't, that was something Qiao Niannian was very upset about. In the past, she was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she could eat whatever she wanted, but now she has to adapt to the season, thinking of this, Qiao Niannian's brows couldn't help frowning.
Yun'er thought about it, it's autumn now, and there's really nothing new.
"Mrs. Hui, you can tell the people what you want to eat."
Even if it is some kind of high-grade food, treasure, when it is sent to the palace, it will also send a little bit to the Yanwang Mansion, so the food in the mansion must be the most complete in the whole world.
Yun'er knew that Qiao Niannian was a picky eater, so she said.
Hearing this, Qiao Niannian shook her head helplessly, she didn't mean that. But think about it, there must be the best in the Yanwang Mansion, but compared with modern times, because there are no technological products, it is inconvenient.
"Forget it. Let's go back to the house first. ”
Qiao Niannian replied lightly.
Because he took some medicinal materials from the medicine shop, after returning to the house, Qiao Niannian began to make medicine. Now there is no need to worry about the lack of medicinal materials, and the efficacy of some of the medicines brought today is even more helpful for the poison in the body.
