Chapter 272: A Small Banquet in the Elegant Hall

The Yun Duwei next to him also heard it clearly, and couldn't help but ask at this time: "Master Hou, the emperor gives medicine, do you still want to collect our silver?" This...... What is the rationale for this? ”

In fact, Qi Ning asked Dou Lianzhong for silver, and many people's hearts were tight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are hundreds of officials in the capital, but not everyone can have as much wealth as the Dou family, in fact, most of the officials are just living on their money, and in the capital, even if they want to make some oil and water, it is not as easy and convenient as the local officials.

The four hereditary candidates are the founding fathers of the country, and they are also the only four lords in the empire who have food and eup, and they can also be said to be the four highest clans in the dynasty.

Even so, a marquis like Jinyi, who owns 3,000 food towns and hundreds of hectares of fertile land, in addition to all kinds of losses, is only more than 20,000 taels of silver a year, and he also has to feed a large group of people.

The six Shangshu are all second-grade court officials, and the annual Yulu adds up to only a thousand taels of silver plus some Lu rice.

For ordinary officials, 5,000 taels of silver is an astronomical amount if it is only a fortune.

Qi Ning smiled: "You don't have to be anxious, and not everyone has to take silver." Raising his hand and pointing back, "Just those ordinary people behind them, they don't need a penny of silver to get the antidote." He looked at Yun Duwei and said with a smile: "If you want to take medicine, it is estimated that it will cost some silver." ”

"Master Hou, you haven't made it clear what the reason for collecting silver is." Shaoqing of Taichang Temple stared at Qi Ning, and at this time, he had the same hatred as Yun Duwei.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, shouldn't he thank God for surviving this catastrophe this time?" Since you have been blessed with the kindness of God and the emperor and brought back to life, shouldn't you take out some silver and sacrifice to heaven to thank you? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Dou Lianzhong hated his toothache, thought for a while, and then said, "Master Hou, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Qi Ning nodded, and the Yulin soldiers let him in, Dou Lianzhong made a look, motioned for Qi Ning to come aside, and then said in a low voice: "Five thousand taels of silver is fine, but ...... Today, we will settle the old account and the new account together, I will not bargain with you, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver, and you will pay me back the arrears by the way, from now on, we will not owe each other. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this Dou family is really wealthy, it seems that they have really made a lot of oil and water over the years, but they are the sons of the household Shangshu, so they can come up with 10,000 taels of silver, and they seem to be smiling and smiling: "You want to owe money?" That's not possible, one is another, don't be involved with the last time, I'll visit another day and talk about the debt. ”

"Qi Ning, are you going too far?" Dou Lianzhong gritted his teeth, "Last time I put pearls and even gave you a boat, this time I will give you another five thousand taels, can't you even pull it off?" Don't deceive people too much, I, Dou Lianzhong, am not easy to mess with. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning's face sank, and he said, "What, Gongzi Dou is threatening Ben Hou?" Don't you forget, your father is a scholar, you are nothing, cloth, and dare to threaten the marquis of the dynasty, do you know how big a crime it is? ”

Dou Lianzhong was stunned.

Although he is clothed, but relying on his father is the head of the household, so he is invincible in the capital, and few people dare to offend, that is, the Yundu Lieutenant just now, it stands to reason that his status is much higher than him, but because he is the son of the household secretary, he has to pay him a smile after being kicked.

What Qi Ning said is not bad, if you really want to investigate it, Bu Yi is disrespectful to the marquis, and if he is an ordinary person, ten heads are not enough to cut off.

"But...... But five thousand taels of silver is too much. Dou Lianzhong said helplessly: "Can it be less, how about two thousand taels of silver?" ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "This is a gift to be used to sacrifice to the heavens, you are the son of Dou Butang, you must take the lead, don't bargain anymore, now it's five thousand taels, and there will be no medicine later, it's useless for you to take fifty thousand taels." ”

"Okay." Dou Lianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "I don't have that much on me, I'll send it to you when I go back, five thousand taels of silver, and a penny is not a lot for you." ”

"This ...... Isn't that okay? Qi Ning said: "In case ......!" ”

"I am a man of my word, and you have my debt in your hand, and you are afraid that I will pay the bills?" Dou Lianzhong said angrily: "Five thousand taels of silver to buy you a bowl of medicine, you still have to find fault, just kill me." ”

"That's not going to happen." Qi Ning laughed and said: "Brother Dou is Benhou's cash cow, and he can't die." He said to the tent: "Give Dou Gongzi a bowl of antidote..... oh, no, Dou Gongzi can drink a few bowls if he wants, until he is full." ”

Dou Lianzhong passed over angrily.

Qi Ning walked to the corner of the street and said with a smile: "You all line up, let's talk about it first and then don't mess up, I see that there are many officials and gentry present, so let's do it, this Yundu Lieutenant, you can take a hundred taels of silver, and you, this is ...... Oh, yes, Lord Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, you also take a hundred taels of silver, take a head, a patient with an official body or from an official eunuch's family, at least ten taels of silver, if it is an ordinary person, you will not take a penny. ”

He was full of energy, his voice was clear, and there was a burst of cheers behind him, but a small number of people came forward, and they heard that the antidote was going to be silver, and they were depressed. ”

Another humanitarian: "When the general was alive, he served the country and the people, and the people of the Qi family were compassionate." ”

Dou Lianzhong spent 5,000 taels of silver to buy medicine, and he poured three bowls in a row, he wanted to get close to the iron pot but took a look, but was stopped by the Yulin soldiers.

Three bowls of medicine in his stomach, Dou Lianzhong breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that there was no cure for this poisoning, but at this time he escaped death, but he was also afraid.

There are more and more people who know, and the people who come to line up are also like long snakes, Qi Ning saw that there were at least nearly a thousand people who came to the Tianjia medicine store, and in addition to the family members who accompanied them, there were more than 300 people who were poisoned, and many people were coming intermittently.

He was also a little afraid in his heart, thinking that if Tang Nuo hadn't found a way to detoxify, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

At the end of the day, the antidote has been almost applied to the Dongcheng side, and there are very few people who come to take the medicine, and news has come from Nanhe Lane and Luogu Lane, and the application of the medicine is very smooth, in addition to the beggars and disciples on the other side of Luogu Lane who have taken the antidote, there are also many infected people who go.

Because of the large number of people at the other end of Nanhe Lane, there was a shortage of medicinal materials, but fortunately, there were still some leftover medicinal materials on the side of Dongcheng, and all of them were sent over.

Being able to survive the catastrophe this time, Tang Nuo is certainly a great contributor, and the Tian family medicine store has a large amount of ghost grass and wind bones, which is also a lot of credit.

After it was dark, Qi Ning did not let people remove the big iron cauldron, and ordered people to guard it, and if a patient came, continue to rescue, and wait until the afternoon of the next day to make sure that no one came, and then it could be cleaned up.

At the end of the day, Qi Ning also felt a little tired, and was about to go to Yong'an Hall to see Tang Nuo first, when he saw Steward Tian approaching and said, "Master Hou, Mrs. has prepared a table of thin wine, and I also invite Master Hou to appreciate his face." ”

Qi Ning thought for a while, he knew that this Mrs. Tian was a little stingy, and suddenly set a table for a banquet, it was impossible to just invite himself to dinner, there must be something else, thinking that it was probably about the Tai Hospital, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am also hungry, look at what your wife has prepared." ”

Steward Tian led Qi Ning to Tian Mansion and brought it into a side hall in the house, which was very elegantly arranged, although it was winter, but there was a stove in the hall, but it was also warm as spring, Qi Ning was wearing a brocade jacket and felt a little hot, so he simply took off his coat and let Steward Tian hang aside.

On the side of a lady's screen, there is a table of wine and food, six dishes are arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, although it is not rich, but it is also very exquisite, each dish seems to be visited with heart, how it tastes is not yet known, but the color and fragrance are complete, there are two pots of wine on the table, and there are two wine cups, because there is a warm stove in the house, warm as spring, and there is no need to worry about the wine and food will be cold.

Qi Ning was amused in her heart, although Mrs. Tian couldn't say anything, she was not a generous person, and it was not easy for her to set up this banquet.

After Steward Tian retreated, Qi Ning heard footsteps behind the screen, but a person came in from the side door on the side, bypassing the screen and coming out, before the person got close, laughter had already sounded: "Master Hou, thank you for giving face to the women, this is all done by me in the kitchen, I don't know if it is in line with Lord Hou's taste, Lord Hou will take care of it more." ”

In the light footsteps, a piece of snow plum fragrance diffused with the wind, and a beautiful woman with a long sleeve embroidered silk wrapped in a skirt and a chest came out behind the screen, combing a fluffy Ling Xuan bun, wearing a mutton fat jade bracelet on her slender wrist, and her skin was even more greasy than the bracelet.

She was wearing a light blue skirt, but her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing a pair of white greasy arms like snow lotus, the thin arm circumference did not leak a trace of bone, and the not very bright light could not hide the delicate skin of the pink crisp, which only felt smooth and delicate, and seemed to be full of proud elasticity.

Perhaps because the room is very warm, Mrs. Tian did not put on a jacket, the green chest wrapped in the chest was revealed, decorated with gorgeous peacock blue along the edge, and there was another silver thread embroidery on the silk today, wrapped in two full bulges like a belly, under the collarbone like a big gourd, the double pill was upside down, and the fat and tender Shuofeng snow overflowed the edge of the pocket, which was extremely soft.

At this time, she held a bowl of soup in both hands, walked to the table, and put the bowl of soup in the middle with a smile, just like the stamen of plum blossoms, her body leaned over slightly because of the vegetables, and the two balls of snow peak meat in her pocket were huddled together, Qi Ning's heart jumped, smelling the plum blossom-like fragrance emanating from Mrs. Tian's body, but it was a swing.

He also understood in his heart that Mrs. Tian was in her early thirties, and on the surface, she was more than ten years older than herself, after all, she had already given birth to children, unlike ordinary girls, and some things would naturally not be so restrained, not to mention that in the eyes of Mrs. Tian, although she was a marquis, she was only a hairy boy less than twenty years old, so she naturally would not be too taboo.

The room is already warm, in fact, Mrs. Tian is not very thin, but her delicate body is like a ripe honey-peach, with plump breasts and round buttocks, slightly plump, and a little less worn, and the convex and backward mature and provocative figure is curvy and difficult to hide.
