Chapter 55: Reporting to the Official (Asking for Subscription)
"Boom!" It was as if something had exploded in my head: Qiao Mo's grandmother, her maternal grandmother, the old lady Qiao who had been dead for several years!
Qiao Mo leaned through the cell door and looked at Qiao Ran, whose face was pale: "Cousin, how do you know about grandmother's things?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. Qiao Ran raised her head, her face was blank, but the tears in her eyes were falling down in a stream.
"Cousin, don't cry!" Qiao Mo suddenly became nervous, and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but he couldn't reach her through the prison door.
Qiao Ran sniffed: "It's not that I want to cry." It was the instinctive reaction of this body, and I don't know why, the tears fell so suddenly.
"Miss Qiao......" Tang Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed to watch from the sidelines, and wanted to find a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but the old man, who pays attention to that?
"I'm fine." Qiao Ran wiped the tears from her face, looked at Qiao Mo, and looked solemn, "How did my grandmother die?" ”
Qiao Mo was stunned: he hadn't remembered his grandmother for a long time. At that time, he was still young, and he only remembered that his family began to frown, and a lot of medicinal herbs were sent into the house. The Qiao family is not short of money, and they are naturally willing to take money to save their lives at critical times. But sometimes, gold and silver can't save their lives. Those medicinal herbs that were thrown away didn't even have the slightest effect, and it was not good to see that my grandmother's illness was not good, but it was not without improvement.
"It seems that during the Chinese New Year that year, my grandmother's illness suddenly improved...... "Qiao Mo patted his head and struggled to recall the things when he was a child, how many people can still remember the things when they were young? Memories are always intermittent.
"My grandmother, who couldn't even get out of bed, wore a new dress, and my grandfather said that it was prosperous, and I begged for a lottery......" Qiao Mo took a deep breath, "I went to pay New Year's greetings and said two auspicious words, and I also got a big red envelope...... But after half a month, my grandmother couldn't do it, and the medicinal materials at home were almost piled up, and they were not saved. ”
"What herbs were used?" The pain of the body's instinctive reaction had receded, Qiao Ran wiped away the tears on her face and asked Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know, but most of the medicinal materials used by Qiao's family are from Yuanchun Hall, so my cousin might as well go to Yuanchun Hall to ask." ”
Yuanchuntang is also the premier pharmacy in Jinling City, and most of the precious and rare medicinal materials are from Yuanchuntang, so when Fang Xiuting's medicine stone has no medicine, the Fang family will also go to Yuanchuntang to get medicine. The one who stirred up the conversation in the teahouse yesterday was the guy who took medicine in Yuan Chuntang.
Qiao Ran snorted, turned around and was about to leave, but Qiao Mo stopped her again: "Cousin, if you go like this, Yuan Chuntang is afraid that he will not say it, after all, Yuan Chuntang is notoriously tight-mouthed." "When dealing with the local powerful families in Jinling, they naturally have a tight mouth and will not talk nonsense. If you just find someone to ask and explain, the signboard of Yuanchun Hall has already been smashed.
The girl glanced back at him, her expression calm, but her eyes were unprecedentedly firm: "Don't worry, they will say it." ”
I don't know where her confidence comes from, Qiao Mo lowered his head and scolded, and looked up again to explain to her a few times, but found that there was no one for a long time.
It's like this again, just go, which girl in Jinling City is as domineering as her cousin?
Out of the prison door, Qiao Ran said to Tang Zhongyuan beside him: "Are you going out to patrol the streets?" Follow along! I'll report to the police in a moment. ”
And this kind of statement? Tang Zhongyuan and his two petty officials were dumbfounded.
"Miss Qiao, don't mess around!" Tang Zhongyuan, who came back to his senses, straightened his waist and persuaded, "This is not a joke, and the indiscriminate reporting to the official will also be arrested and imprisoned." "They are also very busy, do you say follow along? Who does she think she is?
At this time, it was not yet an hour, there were not many pedestrians scattered on the street, that is, some of the shops had not yet opened, Tang Zhongyuan led his two petty officials to follow Qiao Ran for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Miss Qiao, where are you going?" "Let's go! Shaking around the street with this body, even if she looks good, she can't stand such a toss, and those who don't know think she wants to eat!
"It's almost there." After saying this, Qiao Ran stopped, turned to them and said, "You guys wait here, I'll come when I go!" ”
It was as if they were her thugs. I think he is a talented person at a young age in Tang Zhongyuan, but he is a serious official of the Jinling Mansion, and he is not an ordinary guard thug, so if she doesn't let him go, she won't leave? Tang Zhongyuan frowned and stopped against the wall.
No matter how famous Yuanchuntang is, the effort to open the door has not yet arrived, and there is no new rare medicine, except for a slave who has been scheduled to come early to get the medicine, there are no guests in the shop.
Qiao Ran saw at a glance the guy who was boasting in the teahouse yesterday, and at this time, he was talking to the slave with a sweat towel embroidered with the name of Yuanchuntang around his body.
She noticed a man walking in through the door, and the man looked at her along with the servant who was taking the medicine, and then a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Let's go! Early in the morning, came here to ask for food? The guy immediately drove people away with a sweat towel, although the woman with the cloak took a closer look, and her appearance was not bad, but no matter how good her appearance was, she was still a stinky begging for food, how could she run to Yuanchun Hall?
"I'll buy medicine." Qiao Ran took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it over, "Buy bird's nest." ”
The silver ingots are not small, and the mat also looks like ten taels, and she can buy a room of steamed buns or something, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she wants bird's nest...... Yuanchuntang's bird's nest is the best, not cheap.
The guy glanced at her impatiently: "Stinky people still eat bird's nest?" Your little money is enough to buy one. ”
"Then I'll have one." Qiao Ran touched his face, and the silver in his hand pushed forward.
"Yo, I'm quite beautiful!" Women are like this, whether they are rich or not, especially those who are born with some looks, they all pay attention to their faces. The man snorted coldly and said to the servant who was taking the medicine on the side, "You wait here for a while, and then I'll come and talk to you when I send this food first." ”
The servant glanced at Qiao Ran and nodded.
What can a bird's nest look like? It's a miracle medicine, how much is the difference between eating the same steamed bun with just one pill?
The man took down the brocade box where the bird's nest was placed from a high place, glanced at the woman, and his heart moved, and he turned over the brocade box in his hand.
Qiao Ran only heard a "creaking" sound, and was about to probe to look, the guy took out the bird's nest from the brocade box, covered it with his sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, and shouted: "You can take it well, be careful not to be blown by the wind, this one will cost ten taels of silver!" ”
Qiao Ran took the bird's nest, glanced at him, turned around and left.
Seeing that the woman was afraid of being looked at, she turned around and ran, and a contemptuous smile flashed in the guy's eyes: Stinky food, I haven't even seen good things! After accepting the brocade box in his hand, he greeted the slave with a smile: "Where did we talk about it just now......
It's really going to come and going! However, after standing for a while, I saw Miss Qiao walking out of Yuanchun Hall, still holding a white flower in her hand.
Tang Zhongyuan and the two officials stared curiously at the things in her hand: "Miss Qiao, what are you buying here?" It's like a gnocchi. ”
"It's gnocchi." Qiao Ran smiled at the things in his hand and looked at Tang Zhongyuan, "This is physical evidence, I want to report to the official!" ”
Report to the officer? Tang Zhongyuan looked at the gnocchi in his hand and was surprised.
"Yuan Chuntang took gnocchi to fill bird's nest and gave me ten taels of silver, you go in with me to get people!"
