Chapter 343: The Journey

Qi Ning looked at Mrs. Tian's expression, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, thinking that it was difficult for him to really look like a squint, Gu Qinghan saw that he was dodging and dodging, how could this Mrs. Tian also have this nervous expression, as if he was going to rape her at any time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info?

He was a little depressed in his heart, but he still said: "How many people do you send to Xichuan?" Madame won't go to Nishikawa herself, will she? ”

"The mountains are high and the road is far away, I am a woman's family, where can I withstand it." Mrs. Tian said with a smile: "Our Tian family medicine store has special purchasing staff, and we go back and forth to Xichuan three times a year, and this time we sent five or six people to Xichuan to prepare medicinal materials first, and then hire a dart bureau to escort the convoy from Xichuan to send the convoy of medicinal materials back." ”

"I see." Qi Ning frowned slightly: "The people sent to Xichuan should be very familiar with the geographical environment of Xichuan, right?" ”

Mrs. Tian nodded slightly: "The ancestral hometowns of several of them are also in Xichuan, and they come and go back a few times a year, and they are very familiar with the sixteen counties of Xichuan." After a pause, he asked cautiously, "Why does Master Hou ask this?" ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before saying, "Are they leaving tomorrow?" ”

"Since Master Hou promised to open a pharmacy to make medicine, I will send them to leave early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tian said: "I estimate that Hou Ye's medicine must be selling very well, and I am afraid that it will be in short supply at that time, so it will not be wrong to prepare early and prepare more crude drugs." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Madame can take precautions, and you can do a good job at a glance." To tell you the truth, in fact, I still have a few prescriptions here, if you can do a good job, I will leave these prescriptions to you in the future. ”

He didn't actually have any prescriptions on hand, but he knew very well in his heart that it would not be a big problem to go back to Don Nuo and ask for two more prescriptions.

Mrs. Tian was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will take care of it well and not let Master Hou down." "I was full of joy, and I felt that after getting to know this little marquis, the Tian family medicine store was about to usher in a real spring.

"I'm going to Xichuan tomorrow." Qi Ning thought for a moment before he said: "It just so happens that I am not very familiar with the environment of Xichuan, if Madam agrees, I don't know if I can let me and your people go to Xichuan together, so that there will be a good response on the way." ”

Mrs. Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "That dare to be kind, with the Hou Ye with them, thanks to the blessing of the Hou Ye, this road is naturally smooth sailing." He got up and said, "Master Hou, then I'll go back now and tell them to prepare, and let them come to the Hou Mansion early tomorrow morning to see Lord Hou." ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, early tomorrow morning, I will take people to your house, and then follow them." After a pause, he beckoned to Mrs. Tian.

Mrs. Tian hesitated, but still approached the past, Qi Ning leaned in slightly, and said in a low voice: "You tell them, don't publicize it to the public, I am going to Xichuan, there is a confidential matter to do, I don't want too many people to know my whereabouts, if someone finds out, I will have to settle accounts with you at that time." ”

Mrs. Tian was stunned for a moment, and then her beautiful face showed a look of distress, and she said aggrievedly: "Master Hou, I haven't done anything wrong, why do you want to settle accounts with me?" ”

Her appearance was already beautiful and moving, frowning at this time, looking aggrieved, looking pitiful, and even more moving, Qi Ning deliberately lowered her face, and joked seriously: "My whereabouts are only told to you now, if others know, of course you leaked it." ”

Mrs. Tian had a feeling of being a companion like a tiger at this time, and she doubted whether it would be a blessing or a curse to cooperate with this little marquis, and said with a bitter face: "Anyway, I won't say it anyway, and I won't let them talk nonsense, if it is really known about the whereabouts of the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye and the Hou Ye must investigate clearly before they can be punished." ”

She bit her red lip and lowered her mantis slightly, as if she was complaining that Qi Ning should not be held responsible.

Seeing that this mature and beautiful pretty woman looked like a little girl, Qi Ning's heart fluttered, and she laughed and said, "Don't worry, just tell them to keep their mouths." By the way, how is the business at Hetai Hospital? Are they embarrassed for you? ”

As soon as she talked about the Tai Hospital, Mrs. Tian showed a smile on her face again, and said busily: "I have sent a batch of medicinal materials to the Tai Hospital a year ago, and there is still a batch of medicinal materials to be sent over this month. ”

"Lord Zhou?"

Mrs. Tian explained: "It is Zhou Si and Lord Zhou, the right judge of the Tai Hospital, who manages the medicine depot of the Tai Hospital. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "That's very good." He got up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't leave Mrs. behind, and Mrs. will go back to prepare, and I will go over early tomorrow morning." ”

Mrs. Tian thanked her again and left.

Although Qi Ning knew that Zhuo Qingyang had disappeared suddenly, the government would definitely intervene in the investigation, and Qionglin Academy was only afraid that there would be some turmoil, but he was about to leave Beijing, and he didn't have time to take care of it, so he could only wait to come back and deal with it.

As soon as he thought of Qionglin Academy, he thought of the scroll, Qi Ning returned to his house, pried open a green brick in the corner of the house with a cold blade, wrapped the scroll in two layers with a cloth towel, and then buried it in the corner of the wall, and then paved the green brick, and after stepping on it tightly, he really couldn't see any flaws.

Many people coveted this scroll, although Qi Ning couldn't figure out what this scroll was used for a while, but he also knew that it must not be an ordinary thing, and he didn't have time to explore what secrets were hidden in this scroll at the moment, so he could only collect it for the time being.

Although Zhuo Qingyang is missing, it is very likely that he was captured by the opponent, but all this is inconclusive at present, whether Zhuo Qingyang is dead or alive, Qi Ning knows nothing, if Zhuo Qingyang suddenly appears one day and looks for himself to ask for the scroll, he will naturally have to return it.

Money can make ghosts grind and go to Xichuan, but Qi Ning also brought the silver tickets sent by the four rich businessmen before, for him, it doesn't matter if he goes to Xichuan or not, as long as he has silver on his body, there is really nothing to bring.

Because he had to travel a long way, Qi Ning went to bed early this night, and the next morning, he was awakened by the knock on the door, got up and opened the door, the sky was still dark, and there was a pretty figure standing in front of the door, it was Gu Qinghan, Gu Qinghan saw his sleepy eyes, and he didn't say much, and went into the house.

Qi Ning was happy, secretly thinking that this beautiful young woman had been wary of herself in every way recently, and she didn't even dare to take a few steps closer, let alone get along alone, but she was alone in her room early in the morning, and she was not small.

"Sanniang, why did you get up so early?" Qi Ning pulled over a piece of clothing and put it on, and said with a smile: "I won't sneak away." ”

Gu Qinghan glanced at him angrily, then sighed faintly, and said, "The luggage has been packed, I have prepared all the food and clothing, and handed it over to Qi Feng and them to carry." He took a stack of silver tickets, and then took a small money bag and handed it over, "This is three thousand taels of silver tickets, you take it with you, and you can't do it without silver." Also, there are some broken silver in this money bag, and a few gold leaves, which can be used on the road. ”

Qi Ning just took the money bag and said, "I have silver on me, so I don't need to bring the silver ticket." ”

"You take it first." Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "When you go out, you'd rather have more than less." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Sanniang, I'm an adult, I know it in my heart, I really don't need a silver ticket." ”

Seeing Qi Ning's insistence, Gu Qinghan sighed, put away the silver ticket, and said, "The weather hasn't warmed yet, I have prepared clothes for you, you can wear a few more clothes on the road, don't freeze." Also, there are a lot of miasma over there in Xichuan, you haven't been there, and you don't know if it will be unadaptable, anyway, you have to be careful in everything. ”

Qi Ning nodded, and Gu Qinghan said again: "When you go out, it's not like at home, everything is up to you." You have a loose temperament, and you like to meddle in things, and you are more restrained outside, although you are the Hou Ye, but our Jinyi Hou can't manage Xichuan, even if the emperor sends you on a business trip, not everything is smooth sailing. After a pause, he continued: "Don't quarrel with people, just be safe, and don't let me worry at home!" ”

Gu Qinghan followed the instructions, Qi Ning only felt warm in his heart, and he was even more grateful, and nodded and said: "Sanniang, don't worry, I'll be back soon after I finish my errand, don't be too tired at home, you have to take care of yourself." If someone is embarrassed by our Hou Mansion, don't worry, wait for me to come back and slowly clean it up. ”

Gu Qinghan glared at him and reproached, "What I just instructed, you forgot it now?" Let you not fight fiercely, and before you go out, you have to argue with others. If you are not in Beijing, who will embarrass us? ”

Qi Ning smiled, and suddenly saw Gu Qinghan turn around, he was wondering to himself, and he hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he saw Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembling slightly, and couldn't help but turn to Gu Qinghan, and saw Gu Qinghan wiping his eye circles with a handkerchief, this beautiful young woman's eyes were red, and she hurriedly said: "Sanniang, I'm just going out, why are you crying?" ”

"Don't look." Gu Qinghan turned around again, "I didn't sleep well last night, my eyes hurt a little, who was crying?" Don't talk nonsense. He got up and said, "Qi Feng, they have already gotten up and waited for you, and you can also wash up." ”

Gu Qinghan personally prepared hot water for Qi Ning, and after Qi Ning washed up, he cleaned up and went out with Gu Qinghan, and Qi Feng and the others were already waiting in the front yard.

This time, there were not many people with him, and two shrewd and capable hands were selected from the guards of the Hou Mansion to accompany him, Gu Qinghan advised: "Qi Feng, you should be careful in this trip to Xichuan, and you must take care of the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye is missing a head, I will not spare a few of you when I come back." ”

Qi Feng said respectfully: "Third lady, don't worry, I just lost my head, too!" ”

"Phew!" Gu Qinghan immediately said, "Who made you lose your head?" Before I left the house, I was full of nonsense, I want you all to come back safely. ”

Qi Feng and the two guards arched their hands in unison and said, "The third lady commands, we keep it in mind." ”

Qi Ning said: "Sanniang, I won't go to say hello to Miss Tang and Mrs. Tai, you just go back and talk to them." ”

Gu Qinghan nodded, sent a few people out, the horses had already been prepared, Qi Ning and the others turned over and got on the horses, Gu Qinghan and Han Shou and the others stood in front of the door, Qi Ning waved his hand and said: "Sanniang, it's cold outside, you guys will go quickly, we will come back soon." Seeing that Gu Qinghan's eyebrows were still worried, his eyes were still red, he sighed in his heart, smiled slightly, urged the horse to go, walked out of a section, and turned around, only to see Gu Qinghan's beautiful figure still standing in the house, but it looked extremely weak in the dark. 8
