At this time, it was close to curfew time, but Zhongxing Street was full of people and chaos.

Ordinary people across the street rushed towards the Rong family's makeshift pharmacy with pots or buckets, fearing that the fire would spread to other shops.

Miss Rong Liu had rushed over as soon as she heard that the pharmacy was on fire, and at this moment she was standing in the distance, watching the fire gradually being extinguished, and her beautiful brows furrowed.

"Miss, Mrs. Gu sent a maid." The personal maid walked up to her and said.

As soon as the words fell, Miss Rong Liu saw Qiu Xue walking towards her with a big grin, and blessed her body and said: "Miss Rong Liu, my young lady asked the slave maid to bring a message, saying that if Miss Rong Liu is in need, she can go to Gu Mansion to find her, she said, Miss Rong Liu has great righteousness and works hard for the soldiers ahead, she will definitely not stand by and watch." ”

When Qiu Xue's words fell, a touch of emotion appeared on Rong Xi's face, she looked at Qiu Xue, nodded and said, "Thank you Young Lady Gu for me first, if I need it, I will definitely not be polite to her." ”

With Qin Niang's words, it is equivalent to her being able to walk sideways in Beijing, after all, who doesn't know that Gu Chen and his wife are deeply trusted by the emperor, even if Gu Chen is not in Beijing now, the emperor is quite fond of Qin Niang.

"I think the fire is almost extinguished, you go back and bring a message to Mrs. Gu Shao, just say that Rong Liu knows in his heart, and he will definitely miss the selection in three days, please rest assured, the fire over there is almost extinguished, I have to go over and take a look, so I won't say anything more to you." Rong Xi nodded at Qiuxue, and then raised his feet and walked towards the pharmacy over there.

This was a temporary pharmacy that was used to house and store the medicine bags she used these days and was temporarily rebuilt, but I never thought that it would suddenly catch fire.

She doesn't believe in any accidents, where is this fire not lit, but her pharmacy was burned, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

As for the drunken little guy, he had been dragged down to sober up at this time, and if he couldn't tell how the fire burned in broad daylight, he was afraid that he would have to peel off his skin.

Qiu Xue saw that Rong Xi looked like a bamboo in his chest, so he didn't want to ask too much, so he hurriedly went back to the house to reply.

As soon as Rong Xi approached the half-burned pharmacy, before he could listen to the report from the next person, he heard a familiar voice interject from a distance: "Yo, what's wrong?" Why did it burn up? ”

This sounds like a little surprising, but in fact, every word is full of schadenfreude.

Rong Xi's eyebrows jumped, and he said in his heart, so he couldn't help but run over to see the excitement?

Immediately turned his face, and saw that her nemesis was getting out of the carriage with the maid's arm, and slowly walked towards her, and there was even a smile on his lips that could not be concealed.

"Miss Shi San didn't come here to gloat, did she?" Rong Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Shi Rong covered his lips with a handkerchief, and smiled: "Where, I also care about Miss Rong Liu, I heard that your pharmacy was on fire, so I hurriedly came over to take a look, what can I help, if Miss Rong Liu is short of medicinal materials, I will look back and see if there is any excess over there, and I will try to make up some for Miss Rong." ”

Although she said this, her eyes were full of excitement, and she said in her heart, Rong Liu, Rong Liu, you should never fight with me, this position of the crown princess must be mine.

Rong Xi saw through her thoughts almost at a glance, but her face was not obvious: "Then I will thank Miss Shi San first." ”

Shi Rong couldn't see the panic and despair on her face, and couldn't help frowning, which seemed to be a little different from what she imagined when she came all the way.

The pharmacy was burned, and when she heard that the thousands of medicine sacs and the finished military boots were all burned in it, shouldn't she cry and repent in despair?

Repentance shouldn't fight with her Shi Rong!

However, Rong Xi just stood there lightly, and replied to her a few words without being salty, which made her feel like she had punched the cotton.

Shi Rong squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, and a twist flashed on his face, he was really angry~

The pharmacy is burning, why is she so calm!

She was so calm, it seemed that her baba who came to make fun of her was a joke.

"If Miss Shi San is fine, then I won't talk to you more, I still have to go to see what my pharmacy is burning, and let's see, do you really need to turn to Miss Shi San, Miss Shi, are you right?" After Rong Xi finished speaking, he led his maid away.

Shi Rong, who came all the way to see the excitement but felt that he had been laughed at by others, stood in place, staring at Rong Xi's figure deadly, with a gloomy face.

Her personal maid was startled, she had never seen such a look on her girl's face, and even tried to call softly: "Miss, are we going back to the house now?" ”

Shi Rong squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, glared at her angrily and said: "What house to go back to, but I am tired of searching all the pharmacies in the capital, I want to see, when Rong Liu can't find the medicine, can she ask me for it!" ”

After saying that, she shook her veil and walked angrily towards her carriage.

The maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to take a breath, so she could only follow silently.

Gu Zhai.

As soon as Qiu Xue stepped into the door, she heard Qiu Tao mutter: "Miss, I heard that the stone girl led her maid all over the capital to sweep the medicinal materials used to make the medicine bag, it seems that there is quite a posture that is about to cut off the back road of Miss Rongliu, she is too despicable."

"I just came back, and Miss Shi couldn't help but make further moves so soon?" Qiu Xue entered the house in a hurry, poured herself a cup of tea and drank before saying, "Miss, the slave maid has already brought the words, but it seems that the sixth girl Rong is not as anxious and flustered as she imagined. ”

To be honest, she was really a little surprised when she first saw Rong Xi, this girl has a momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of her, if she can really enter the queen's eyes, maybe it's not a bad thing.

"The slave maid has brought the words, and Miss Rong Liu said that she has her own calculations, and she can't delay the selection in three days." Qiu Xue said, "When the slave came back, she also saw the carriage of Shifu, thinking that the third girl of Shi couldn't help but want to go over and laugh at her, but she didn't seem to be able to do so." ”

Qiu Xue remembered that she saw Shi Rong's face from a distance before she left and wanted to laugh, this Shi family really can't raise any good girls, the front foot just finished setting fire, and the back foot couldn't help but run to gloat, but it was too composed.

If she is really made the crown princess, she must not be able to go far from the eastern country.

"Liuying came back to report just now, saying that the third girl Shi didn't see the joke, so she ran to cut off people's back roads." Qiu Tao snorted twice with disdain, and then said, "This style of small eyebrows and small eyes, where is it like a girl cultivated by a family, just this style, it is really unacceptable." ”

If she really marries into the royal family, I'm afraid that she will be eaten to the point that there is no scum left, and she has no brains just because she has ambition.

"Aren't most of the pharmacies in the capital our family? Can she, Miss Shi San, still go to the Gu family's pharmacy and buy all those medicines? Qiu Xue pouted and said.

At this time, Qin Niang, who had been sitting on the side and wringing on the chessboard, suddenly spoke: "If she wants to buy it, she will sell it to her, the price will triple, if she wants to buy it, I can't sell it." ”

Qiu Tao's eyes widened, and she looked at her young lady in surprise: "Miss, you want to be the accomplice of Miss Shi San, don't you look down on her?" ”

Qin Niang glared at her angrily: "What do you mean by an accomplice, am I a fool if I don't make money?" Besides, we don't just have a pharmacy in the capital, let her buy it, and if it's empty, I'll let someone ship some back from the branch outside the city tomorrow to make up for it. ”

Anyway, the Gu family is the big one in the medicinal material business, and in order to prevent someone from monopolizing the supply of goods, they have their own medicine fields, and they talked to Shi Rong about the conditions before saying that they would exchange their family's 100 acres of flower fields, but they just wanted to embarrass her.

Unexpectedly, this Shisan girl was really embarrassed, and she couldn't show half of the momentum of the young lady of the family, not to mention her narrow vision, and she was ambitious.

She doesn't want such a person to marry into the royal family, even if she doesn't even want her to be a side concubine.

"Miss is saying, slaughter her fiercely first, and then we can also supply the medicinal materials to Miss Rongliu, and when the competition between them is over, that Miss Shi will be killed by Lord Shi if she buys so many medicinal materials and goes back." Qiu Tao's brain is becoming more and more active now, and it is simply thorough.

Qin Niang nodded with satisfaction, such a girl doesn't have to worry about being deceived by others in the future.

"The slave will confess now." Qiu Xue was overjoyed, turned around and ran out quickly.

Mama Rui embroidered an insole on the side, looked at the back of the autumn snow, and shook her head helplessly: "This girl is still so rough." ”

She sighed again, this is a loss because she met a good master, if this is replaced by someone else, she may be punished many times a day.

"She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she is naturally not as quiet as an ordinary girl, but fortunately, she is also reliable, so you don't have to worry about her." Anyway, she is not such a deep palace lady, how can there be so many rules.

Shi Rong spent a day to collect all the pharmacies in the entire capital, and it cost three times the price on weekdays, after buying out those pharmacies, she was still happy to bask in the sun and drink flower tea in the house, thinking that Rong Xi would lose to her because of the shortage of medicinal materials, her heart was extremely comfortable.

On Gu Zhai's side, Steward Liu was making calculations, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never stopped.

While settling the accounts, he said to Qin Niang, who was sitting and drinking tea: "Young lady, your trick really works, look at these pharmacies, they have tripled in just one day, alas, do you think I should send someone to run to the door of the Rong Mansion to sell it?" Maybe some more will be sold, and the money for the next batch of firearms will come out again. ”

The corners of Qin Niang's mouth twitched, how could she not know before, this Steward Liu was also a fool.

"No, it's too much, I'm afraid that if she is in a hurry, she will do something else." Qin Niang said, and thought of another question, "What is that Bu Shuyuan doing recently?" ”
