Chapter 185: Half Price
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Jiang Juan woke up at about the same time as usual, but it was not Jin'er who waited for her to get up and wash, it was the three of them.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the three of them, Jiang Juan's good mood was clouded.
His eyes swept over the three of them, and Jiang Juan said lightly, "My face is very bad, I didn't sleep well last night, and I had a nightmare?" ”
Qing Lingling's voice was like a boulder thrown into the lake, and the shocked Qingmei felt a chill on their backs, lest they be discovered by Jiang Juan.
Hongling said first, "Jin'er was poisoned and almost died, and the slaves and maids were terrified. ”
"Jin Er couldn't serve the girl, so the three slaves and maids went into the house to serve on their own initiative, and asked the girl not to be strange."
Jiang Juan got off the bed and said, "I don't like too many people to serve, just leave one of the three of you in the house." ”
The three of them glanced at each other.
poisoned Jin'er, and all three of them had a share.
Whoever is left to serve, the other two will not be satisfied.
"Before Jin Er recovered, the three slaves and maids were reduced to serving the girl," Qingmei replied.
Jiang Juan smiled and didn't speak again.
After washing, the small kitchen also brought the food in, and Jiang Juan and Qi Moyuan sat down to eat.
After breakfast, Qingmei followed Jiang Juan to Songling Hall to greet the old lady.
When I said goodbye, the old lady played with the Buddha beads and said, "What time will you leave Beijing today?" ”
Jiang Juan blinked, "I won't leave Beijing today, the county lord of Qinglan is unwell and can't embroider a wedding dress, Xianggong plans to wait for her to get better, and then we will go to Lao Guogong." ”
The third lady smiled, "I don't know why Qinglan suddenly had a rash on her face, it's really distressing to look at, it doesn't matter if you and Yuan'er don't leave Beijing, the princess is pregnant, and it is somewhat comforting to have you by her side." ”
Jiang Wan nodded, "Xianggong thinks so too." ”
The second wife glanced at Jiang Juan, and she felt that the main illness of Qinglan County was strange, she couldn't get a rash in the morning, and she couldn't get a rash in the evening, but she had a rash on her face the day before they left Beijing, so that they couldn't get out of the house.
Don't do it deliberately in order not to leave Beijing.
If evidence can be found, even if she marries Chongxi and is meritorious, the princess's good impression of her will be lost.
Thinking of this, the second wife looked at the bright red Dankou on her nails and said, "How could the maid of the princess be poisoned and faint in the mansion?" Found the poisoner? ”
"I'm still investigating this," Jiang Wan replied.
Her eyes fell on the second wife's nails, thoughtful.
The third lady said, "Fortunately, the maid carried the antidote pill with her, and the maid reacted quickly, and she wanted to be replaced by someone else, but I am afraid that she would have died of poison before she could react." ”
Speaking of antidote pills, the second wife was a little dissatisfied, "The prince has so many antidote pills, and he even carries the maid with him, and I haven't seen one or two sent to the old lady, let alone the old man and young master in the house." ”
"Cheng'er They are now in the Criminal Department, they go out early and return late, I am worried every day, I am afraid that something will happen to them."
"There is an antidote pill next to me, a little more reassuring."
Not only Jin'er, Jiang Juan was assassinated on the street that day, and it was thanks to taking the antidote pill that he was able to save his life.
Although the county lord of Qinglan also ate it, Imperial Doctor Li said that she may not have been poisoned, so the antidote pill had no effect.
You should still have one or two such pills with you in case you need them.
The words of the second wife, Jiang Juan listened to it with great anger, instigated the maid to poison Jin'er, and was worried about her antidote pills, but she didn't give them to them, and she became Qi Moyuan.
Before Jiang Juan could speak, the old lady said first, "Go back and let Yuan'er send two by yourself." ”
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and grunted, "This is the rhythm of going bankrupt." ”
Her voice was very small, Qi Xuan'er didn't hear it, but she saw it, "Sister-in-law won't be unwilling, right?" ”
Jiang Juan raised his head and smiled, "How could it be, the prime minister wants to be filial to the second uncle, how can I object." ”
"But if you want one or two, my grandfather will definitely give them to him, and if you want so many, my grandfather will definitely let him go to the Iron Doctor to buy them."
Iron Doctor?
Qi Xuan'er frowned, "Why did this antidote pill become given by the Hejian Mansion again, when the sister-in-law was poisoned, didn't you say that the eldest brother gave it to you?" ”
is quite good at catching loopholes, but Jiang Juan, who caught it, is not weak at all, she said, "I always thought that it was given to me by the father-in-law, but I found out afterwards that my grandfather was afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of his father, so he gave him three antidote pills for self-defense, and he also gave me one for my share." ”
It's just that Jiang Juan said this, Qi Xuan'er didn't believe it, and said, "Are antidote pills expensive?" ”
"It's not expensive, one thousand taels and one piece," Jiang Wan replied.
The maids in the room gasped.
Isn't a thousand taels expensive?
"One thousand taels and one? What about grabbing money?! Qi Xuan'er said with round eyes.
Jiang Wan's eyes swept across her face, "Is it expensive?" If it weren't for the antidote pill, I would have lost my life at the hands of the assassins. ”
How can she buy her life for a thousand taels?
"If you are willing to buy and sell, no one can force anyone," Jiang Juan said lightly.
The old lady didn't speak, only glanced at Chen's mother.
Chen's mother quit.
walked quietly, no one paid attention, Jiang Juan wanted to leave several times, but was left by the old lady.
Soon, Chen's mother came back and said, "The slave went to find the prince, and the prince said that the antidote pill cost two thousand taels and he couldn't afford it." ”
Jiang Xuan, "....... ”
Is there any tacit understanding?
It's just that I didn't expect this guy to be bigger than her mouth.
The second wife looked at Jiang Juan, "Didn't the princess say one thousand taels and one one?" ”
Jiang Wan looked calm, "Doctor Tie and my grandfather have been friends for many years, and all the high-quality medicinal materials that my grandfather got have been given to him. ”
"Others buy it, two thousand taels, and the iron doctor may not be willing to sell it."
Qi Fu'er said, "It only costs 1,000 taels to buy it in the Hejian Palace, why do you want the eldest brother to spend 2,000 taels to buy it?" ”
Jiang Juan glanced at her and said, "Xianggong didn't buy the antidote pill for food, he bought so much, and he didn't know if he was giving it away, why did my grandfather make Doctor Tie unhappy for a little money?" ”
"Doctor Tie is not only superb in medical skills, but also has a strange temper, and he will turn his face when he says it."
As he spoke, Jiang Juan said, "Last time I treated the third young master, the consultation fee of 1,000 taels was still paid in advance." ”
The second wife's face stiffened, "Just look at the return visit, you have to charge 1,000 taels?!" ”
Jiang Juan said expressionlessly, "Originally, I didn't accept the consultation fee, so I asked for the remaining jade spirit ointment, but didn't the second aunt want to go back again?" ”
"Doctor Tie was furious and asked for a thousand taels of medical fees."
"I was going to ask my second aunt for it, and my brother would settle the account, but the husband said that I wanted the money in the end, and the mother must have paid for it, and if I asked for it, it would be like not asking for it, so don't do such a stupid thing next time."
A person who can't even pay for her own son's face treatment, why should someone else give her an antidote pill worth a thousand taels?
She has a big face and thick skin, and others are not stupid.
As for the old lady, she didn't have the face to let the Hejian Mansion send her things.
But don't forget, the pastries given by her granddaughter of the Hejian Palace, her old lady disliked it, and this matter was also known by the Ruan family.
Saying that, Jiang Juan said, "Doctor Tie is not in Kyoto now, and the mother concubine asked the prime minister to send someone to invite him back to Beijing, if the house wants to buy antidote pills, you can let someone bring it back." ”
It just so happens that you need money to open a shop, so let's earn it first.
The ones who were going to take the detoxification pill just now were silent, after all, it was too cost-effective to buy an antidote pill that might not be used for two thousand taels.
This pill can't be left for a long time, and it will spoil in two years at most.
They didn't speak, Jiang Juan understood, smiled, and got up to leave.
