22. Money first. Thousand Liang Medical Center
The Wang family is worthy of being a strong party, and the carriage is fast and stable. When it got dark, the group entered Zhengzhou, and immediately found a big carriage and horse shop to live, anyway, the silver taels given by Wang Yuanba were enough for the road expenses, and Liu Menghua was not distressed at all.
After the material was settled, Li Guanlan wanted to go to the street to visit the night market, Yue Lingshan was a lively youth, and she also asked Li Guanlan to take her with her. Leaving Liu Meng and Ling Hu Chong to sit in the inn.
Shopping this kind of thing, killing Liu Meng is also reluctant to try, whether it is ancient or modern, it is a woman's patent, the old man still makes a few side dishes, and it is good to pour himself a drink.
Immediately rushed out with Linghu, found a tavern that was open at night near Zuo, asked for two cold dishes, two small stir-fries, and burned two horns of sorghum, and drank it deliciously.
Ling Hu Chong didn't dare to touch the wine, and watched Liu Meng pour a cup into his mouth one by one, and he was extremely uncomfortable, so he had to grab the tea and pour it violently.
Looking at the other party's depressed appearance, Liu Meng was happy and in a better mood. I put a piece of braised pig ears into my mouth, chewed it slowly, and said, "Linghu nephew, what are your plans after your internal injuries are healed?" ”
Ling Hu Chong was stunned and replied: "Go back to Huashan, my master and sister are getting old, and I have to serve them for a long time." Liu Meng shook his head, "You are the first disciple of Senior Brother Yue, and the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect, as long as you don't fall into the Demon Dao, this position of head will be yours sooner or later." ”
"The senior nephew never thought about taking over the head, the second junior brother Lao Denuo has a reliable character, and the senior brother Lin is smart and steady, no matter which one is more competent than the senior nephew." Ling Hu Chong held the tea bowl in both hands, only to feel that his mouth was extremely bitter. I just hope that I can just watch my little sister from time to time, what is the point if the head is not in charge.
Laughing out loud, Liu Meng sighed secretly: Ling Hu Chong is really a seed of infatuation, with his personality. It's really not proper to be the head of a faction, but fortunately, he already has a whole plan, and he just needs to follow orders.
"Do you think that among those junior brothers and sisters of yours, who will be higher than your martial arts? After a hundred years of your master and mother, who will be able to hold the banner of the Huashan faction when foreign enemies attack? As a senior brother, you don't want to throw away this responsibility, do you? ”
Liu Meng tasted the sorghum roast like a fire, and at the same time taught Ling Hu Chong a lesson, only feeling that the wine and food were delicious and scolded the protagonist. It's a wonderful taste. Suddenly, I thought again: Is it possible that I am so good at being a teacher in my bones?
This good mood lasted less than an hour. Because Li Guanlan and Yue Lingshan, the two losers, came back happily.
Five taels and one ingot, a full eighty ingots, four hundred taels of snow-white dazzling silver, were spent by the two of them. bought a lot of rouge gouache snacks and toys, and hired two porters to send them back.
Seeing Liu Meng and Ling Hu Chong's stunned appearances, Yue Lingshan's face was blushing and embarrassed, while Li Guanlan said confidently: "Zhengzhou is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, Lingshan." When you are free, Uncle Shi will take you around. ”
Still going to Gangnam? Liu Meng swallowed his saliva and reminded: "It seems that the entanglement is all dry." Li Guanlan's beautiful eyes slanted, and he didn't care about it: "Isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver, we are not short of money." He said. took out a silver ticket from the exquisite jacket he had just bought, shook it in a chic manner, and then said, "What, I'm distressed?" A dignified elder. You can't even afford to raise a woman, right? ”
There was a crisp click, and under the excitement, the bench where Liu Meng's ass was sitting was crushed. Exclaimed: "What did you say?!" Woman?! Whose? ”
Li Guanlan snorted. took a multicolored brocade shawl, handed it to Yue Lingshan and said with a smile: "Lingshan, you must look good in this outfit." Then there was a murderous aura in his eyes, he looked at Liu Meng, and said word by word: "Yours, how is it?!" ”
My woman? When did you become my woman?
Liu Meng's heart was like a galloping horse, but in the face of the murderous intent conveyed in the beautiful eyes of autumn water, where did he dare to say more, so he had to laugh dryly, touched the tip of his nose, and said to Ling Hu Chong in a witting manner, and became an ostrich.
It's just that when he went back to the room to sleep, he deliberately said loudly: "That, lady, my husband is a little tired today, give me a waist beat," and then his body flashed sharply, and he rushed back to the room with a smoke, and there was a high-decibel angry shout "Get out!" ”
In the Kaifeng area of Zhengzhou, there are the most powerful, and Liu Meng doesn't want to really spend women's money. Immediately went out at night to go around the circle, and raised a few hundred taels of silver to come back as travel expenses.
On the second day, it was another hurried journey into Kaifeng.
The blue phoenix had woken up, and after repeatedly thanking Liu Meng for saving his life, he quietly left alone at night. Liu Meng also understood that she must have gone to Luoyang to find Ren Yingying, so after comforting Qu Feiyan for a few words, she decided to turn back to Hengshan!
It was only a carriage when I came, but it was a lot of trouble when I returned.
Li Guanlan, Peach Valley Six Immortals, Ling Hu Chong, Yue Lingshan, a few people couldn't sit down at all, so they immediately bought six horses for the Six Immortals of Peach Valley to ride, and hired two carts to take away many precious medicinal materials that Li Guanlan treasured in the Bao Gong Ancestral Hall, along with two green pine and green bamboo trail boys.
After Li Guanlan asked Ming Hengshan in detail about the situation, he threw out a lot of silver tickets, and bought ten Qingqi people from various Qinglou houses through human traffickers and used them as maids. As for some exquisite daily necessities, needless to say.
So four more carriages and six horses were added to the team, just like a corrupt official visiting his home, he dragged his family all the way through the state and county, and only arrived at the boundary of Hengyang after nearly two months.
By this time, the team had expanded into a huge herd of ten wagons, twelve donkey carts, and ten horses. And Liu Meng couldn't figure out how much money he had raised when he went out night and night, anyway, just a white jade screen cost a thousand taels of silver!
When they arrived in Hengshan City, the more than 30 Hengshan disciples at home moved and unloaded together, and the compound was stuffed to the full, and they were all dazzled by the exquisite and luxurious ornaments.
After the hired account office registered and made a record there, and sang the price the same, the poor group of Hengshan disciples who had always been hard worked were all afraid-if they accidentally broke one piece, they couldn't afford to sell themselves!
Although the Sanjin Mansion where Liu Meng lives occupies a large area, there are not many houses, so of course it can't accommodate so many things. Fortunately, the previously built garden is almost complete, and only the pond has not yet been cleared.
Immediately, Li Guanlan took power, and with a light hand, he took the die-hard Qu Feiyan and went into the garden to choose a place to live.
The exquisite two-story pavilion, the cornices carved railing, beautiful, the little girl Qu Feiyan was optimistic at a glance, Li Guanlan gave her an elegant name "Yanyun Pavilion", and specially assigned two maids to serve her living.
Then I chose a two-story building at the highest place to live in and named it "Listening to the Rain Building". And the three-story building was named "Jicui Building", and Yue Lingshan also chose a bedroom in it. As for Liumeng, he can only be assigned to the water pavilion by the pond.
Ling Hu Chong was placed in a small building in the inner courtyard and lived with four disciples, including Qi Ayi and Meng A'er. Li Guanlan transformed the warehouse in the backyard into a special one for her medicine refining, and without permission, no one was allowed to enter except for two little dao boys. also deliberately arranged the six immortals of Peach Valley to live in the wing, let them guard the backyard, and if they found someone trespassing, they would kill them.
Next, Li Guanlan squeezed out the last tael of Liu Meng's silver and asked the craftsmen to continue to build the garden. Liu Meng has also seen the drawings, and the scale has more than doubled, covering an area of more than 40 acres! And how familiar is the layout, and then I asked sideways, only to know that she had completely copied the Lingering Garden in Suzhou!
The Lingering Garden in Suzhou! How much money does it cost! I am a thief every night -- no, I have to work hard for half a year to raise donations every night! Besides, where are there so many corrupt officials and tyrants who let themselves go to collect donations!
It was the first time to see Liu Meng angry, Li Guan's blue eyes were filled with mist, and he said with a little grievance: "I'm just homesick." It's always been precarious, it's easy to feel safe, it's nothing extravagant, anyway, in another four years, I'll have to leave this world. ”
The aggrieved expression of the beauty is extremely endearing. Liu Meng sighed, thinking about it, it is not too much to be worried all day long, it is rare to meet herself here, let her relax and live comfortably for a few years, it is indeed not too much.
It's just that if you are homesick, you will be homesick, what is the relationship with the construction of the Lingering Garden?
"I'm from Suzhou." Li Guanlan rarely made a delicate and shy posture, and seeing that Liu Meng was still puzzled, she had to continue: "My home is in the Lingering Garden. ”
Living in the Lingering Garden? Family?
Liu Meng was completely defeated, and he really couldn't understand the life realm of these young ladies and young ladies, and his own life was too far away from them.
Make hay!
To be precise, a fundraiser.
Liu Meng set his sights on the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that Suzhou and Hangzhou are rich in the world, and it should be no problem to work hard for a month and raise tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Guanlan has his own way. Let the bookkeeper write a notice, and then ask the housekeeper Huang Ping'an to send people to Hengyang, Xiangtan, Zhuzhou and other cities to post it.
The notice is very simple, written in black and white, and reads, "Ask the god of death to open Hengshan to treat the disease, diagnose a thousand taels of gold and silver, and return ten times if you do not heal!" ”
Then all the wings on the east side of the inner courtyard were vacated, the side door was opened, and the inner courtyard was separated by a high wall, and a flagpole was erected at the door, and a red cross flag on a white background was raised, which was decorated with the four big characters of "not asking for death".
After this action, the Hengshan faction immediately became a hot topic in the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the wild saying that you can't die quickly spread along with the thousand taels of diagnosis money.
Mr. Mo Da, the head of Xiaoxiang Yeyu, stood at the door with a huqin, looked up at the face of "can't die" There was a small stick of incense, and then his sad face was full of surprise, and asked, "This is ......." ”
Liu Meng could only smile bitterly and explained softly: "Your brother and daughter-in-law are famous doctors, and her medical skills are greatly clever, and she wants to hang the pot to help the world and benefit the Quartet, by the way...... By the way, it also adds some fame to my Hengshan faction. ”…… (To be continued......)
