Chapter 32: Playing with Drugs
Inside the Flower Hall.
Mrs. Jiang saw the tea brought by the servant, smiled elegantly, and did not touch the teacup.
"Madam, do you think Aunt Xia will agree?"
After waiting for a while, the maid brought by Mrs. Jiang asked.
She would naturally agree, the Xia family is bent on entering Beijing to get a piece of the pie, if it weren't for the fact that the lord disliked Xia Rao but was only a merchant, the Xia family would have given her to the lord as a concubine. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang's drooping eyes flashed with contempt: "I didn't expect her to fall into Yan Shizi's eyes, even if Yan Shizi's hands and eyes are all over the sky, she can't interfere in the Jiang family's business in the capital for nearly a hundred years." ”
"So this Aunt Xia will definitely agree to this 'little thing' for the sake of the Xia family's business, Mrs. is really wise. Yahuan flattered.
Mrs. Jiang saw that her hand was actually on the table on one side, and she quickly wiped her hand with a handkerchief.
After a while, I saw Xia Rao coming.
Today, Xia Rao is wearing a crescent-white flowered long skirt, with a light cyan jacket rolling with thin white velvet edges, which makes her more and more slender and delicate.
The moment Mrs. Jiang saw her, she secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the old man was not willing to ask for this little demon girl.
"Mrs. Jiang. Xia Rao came in and curtsitched.
Mrs. Jiang also got up and said with a smile: "It's really a sin to bother Aunt Xia to come over early in the morning, but the matter is urgent, and I can't take care of it, so please don't blame Aunt Xia." ”
"Mrs. Jiang is too polite, the prince has instructed, the Jiang family has a great relationship with the palace, if it is within the power of the power, I should help a lot. Xia Rao glanced at the tea cup that had never moved on Mrs. Jiang's side and the shiny tables and chairs around her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.
When I went to see Mrs. Jiang yesterday, she knew that Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she had a habit of cleanliness.
When Mrs. Jiang heard the words 'great relationship', the corners of her mouth stiffened, and then she said: "Aunt Xia's medical skills are not ordinary, and she doesn't hide it from Aunt Xia, although the Jiang family is in the medicinal materials business, but this time because they offended the villain, a batch of medicinal materials were identified as fake by the traitors, so the Jiang family wanted to ask Aunt Xia to help identify the authenticity." ”
"It's such a trivial matter. Xia Rao sat down with a smile and asked, "I don't know where this medicinal material is?"
"The medicinal herbs are in the warehouse, if Aunt Xia is free, can you go and see it now?" Mrs. Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had no doubt that there was no problem.
"Of course......" Xia Rao said and was about to get up, but as soon as she got up, she saw Yingchun running in in a panic, and tripped over the threshold when she came in, and the whole person fell directly to the ground with a bang.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Yingchun, who was picking up a cloud of dust, and the things that rolled out of her hand, and immediately covered her mouth and took a few steps back, and said with disgust: "What are you doing?"
"The slave maid is here to ask my aunt for help, auntie, look at the slave's hand......" Yingchun got up, crying and rolled up her sleeves, and everyone saw the dense pimples on her arms.
"How did you get it, it's latent worm disease, it's contagious. Xia Rao also said cautiously.
Yingchun pointed to the green brick that rolled to Mrs. Jiang's feet, and choked: "When the slave saw this bloody brick, she wanted to take it and throw it away, who knows...... Woo woo, auntie, save the slave and maid......"
Yingchun cried and hugged Xia Rao's leg and begged, her arm was exposed, and the pimple was completely displayed in the eyes of the stunned Mrs. Jiang.
Xia Rao hurriedly pulled away to welcome the spring and said, "Although your disease is contagious, you won't die, I still have something to do, Mrs. Jiang, I'll go with you to see the medicinal herbs." ”
"No, still...... Or go later......"
Mrs. Jiang faintly felt that she was about to faint, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Do you look uncomfortable, I'll probe your pulse. ”
Before Mrs. Jiang could react, Xia Rao's hand was already on her vein.
Mrs. Jiang instantly shook off Xia Rao's hand like an electric shock.
Everyone present was stunned, and Mrs. Jiang seemed to react, embarrassed, but couldn't help but turn pale: "I didn't mean it, Aunt Xia, I'm sorry, I remembered that there was still something to deal with in the house, so I'll go back first." ”
After speaking, he didn't care about elegance and etiquette, and walked out.
But Xia Rao followed reluctantly, and said: "Mrs. Jiang, the Jiang family has such a deep friendship with the palace, if there is a place where I can help, you can just say it." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Xia. Mrs. Jiang's footsteps became faster and faster, and in the end, she almost ran up, until she reached the outside of King Yan's mansion, Mrs. Jiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and followed Xia Rao, who was in hot pursuit, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Aunt Xia, I'm interrupted today." ”
Xia Rao smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Mrs. Jiang and I are so polite." ”
Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth with hatred.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw that the gate of Yanwang's Mansion suddenly became lively, and Mrs. Jiang turned to look and saw a funny man wearing ill-fitting women's clothes with a black face coming here.
"Hey, isn't that the Jiang family's resident Doctor Huang?"
Someone in the crowd recognized it.
Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale, but she let others point fingers at her and Dr. Huang, and she didn't say a word.
Dr. Huang saw Mrs. Jiang from a distance, so he immediately ran over and pleaded, "Mrs. Jiang, you can help the villain." ”
"A gentleman should keep his word. "How can Mrs. Jiang want him to make a fool of himself, but who let himself be so stupid that he is cocooned and bound himself.
However, this Aunt Xia is really not simple, but I am afraid that Fang Cai's matter is also deliberate.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang immediately looked at Xia Rao, but saw Xia Rao scratching her arm, and raised her hand in confusion and said, "Why is it so itchy all of a sudden......"
Mrs. Jiang saw the pimple on the back of her hand, thinking about the cold touch she had just put on her wrist, her throat was stalked, and she didn't care about Dr. Huang, she turned into the carriage and left.
Mrs. Jiang left like this, and there was more talk about the Jiang family.
"Doctor Huang, thank you for your hard work, just knock here. Xia Rao crossed her arms around her chest and said with a smile.
"You-" Doctor Huang glanced at the plaque behind her with the three big characters 'Yanwangfu' written on it, and no matter how unwilling he was, he also knelt down with his eyes closed and fulfilled his promise.
However, Xia Rao didn't plan to let him finish it all, she naturally understood the truth of being forgiving and forgiving, and after Dr. Huang kowtowed for thirty times, Xia Rao let him go back.
"Auntie, what's the matter with this person?" asked Yingchun when he came out.
Xia Rao only touched her empty stomach and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm hungry, go back to eat." ”
After that, he turned his head and went to the house, but before anyone entered the house, he heard a scream, and the people at the door shouted 'dead man'.
"This woman is too ruthless, how can she force people to death. ”
"That's it, let a big man come out in women's clothes and kowtow, isn't it just forcing people to death, what a poisonous woman!"
The voice of accusation suddenly came like a tide, Xia Rao turned to look, and saw Dr. Huang lying on the ground foaming at the mouth and losing his breath.
Suicide?
No, there was still a slight smell of poison powder in the air, and he was killed.
Xia Rao raised her eyebrows lightly, playing poison with her, I'm afraid it's a hundred years early!
