Chapter 141: Worth a Thousand Gold
On the second day, Meng Yiwei really brought some precious medicinal materials to visit, and it was Song Wenyu who received him. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
Song Wenyu looked at the gift list handed over by Meng Yiwei's entourage, and was really distressed. Just as he looked up and wanted to say something, Meng Yiwei took the first step to stop his mouth, "I said it in advance, if you still treat me as a friend, you will take all these things today, don't pick and choose." “
Song Wenyu looked at him with a little crying and laughing, "I'm afraid you've emptied all the warehouses in the Meng Mansion, right?" There are so many precious medicinal herbs, I don't dare to pick and choose, you might as well take some back." “
"You're not picky?" Meng Yiwei said nonsense: "When the two of us were drinking last night, you promised well, I brought something for the old lady, and you would not turn it away." “
"That's what it says. That's what you send. Song Wenyu gently put the gift list on the tea table next to him, his tone was very flat, but Meng Yiwei just heard the meaning from these words.
"Tsk," this time, Meng Yiwei was distressed, but he didn't struggle, he simply looked at Song Wenyu openly and honestly and said, "I gave you, you naturally want to stay." aside. You can also pick some and accept them, and let me go back to the errand. “
"So, I'll do as you say." Meng Yiwei has already said this, and Song Wenyu feels that if he refuses strictly, it will be too unkind. So he nodded and adopted Meng Yiwei's opinion.
Seeing this, Meng Yiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he spoke again, the words were much lighter, "By the way, have you ever inquired about the whereabouts of that life-saving medicinal herb?" “
Song Wenyu nodded and said, "Our family has asked the Shen family to do this matter." There will be news in the near future. “
"Also, the Shen family is also the first emperor merchant family of our dynasty, if you say who has the most skills, I'm afraid there is only the Shen family," Meng Yiwei listened to Song Wenyu's words, and said: "It's just that it's been ten days." I don't know if your brother-in-law has inquired about the whereabouts of those medicinal herbs. “
When Song Wenyu heard this, he looked up at Meng Yiwei, "Probably, there will be news soon." “
??
It was when Meng Yiwei entered the Song Mansion. Ah Jin had already taken Ah Zhen to the Yunlai Inn. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Liuli sitting upright in the elegant room, and the fragrance of tea in the room made Ah Jin's heart calm down.
Ruri heard the movement at the door and raised her head to take a look. Seeing that Ah Jin was standing at the door, he didn't mean to come in, so he smiled and said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly?" Not too cold? Come on in. “
When Ah Jin heard this, he hurriedly took off his cloak and handed it to Ah Zhen, rubbed his hands and sat on the opposite side of the glass, "It's really cold outside, it's snowing today." I don't know when you came here or if you encountered this snow. “
Liuli didn't answer Ah Jin's words, but just scooped a bowl of tea soup that had been warm on the clay stove and put it in front of Ah Jin, "Taste it, I'll get up and work before dawn." Just so you can take a sip of tea. “
Ah Jin was flattered and solemnly held the tea bowl in his hand, and his hands warmed up at once. She first leaned her face to the tea bowl and sniffed it, and then took a sip slowly, "The tea soup made by senior sister is really the best." “
This kind of praise, Liuli also heard a lot. She smiled slightly, added some tea soup to Ah Jin and said, "When you go back to Unruly Mountain, I will make it for you to drink." “
When Ah Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "Senior sister is going back?" “
"Well, I'll leave after saying goodbye to you, and I'll leave without stopping."
“?? Did you see him yesterday? Ah Jin drank tea while carefully observing Ruri's reaction.
Liuli's hand holding the teaspoon trembled slightly, but his face did not show any abnormality. When she mentioned that person, her tone was still flat, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, "I see." He didn't recognize me, but I saw him. “
"So??" Ah Jin felt a little too much to talk about, maybe such an ending would be better for both of them. But for some reason, Ah Jin still felt regretful, "In this way, I will replace the wine with tea and see you off." Senior sister, this road is high and long, and it must be cherished. “
"yes, definitely." Liuli said, and also picked up the tea bowl and touched it lightly with Ah Jin's hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, and after drinking this excellent tea soup, they put down the tea bowl.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go ahead and get busy with yours, I'll sit here a little longer. “
When Ah Jin heard this, he had to stand up, looked at Liuli and said, "Senior sister, then I'll go first." “
"Well, go ahead." Liuli nodded, and when Ah Jin left, she didn't send him off, but she still sat in front of a few cases, watching Ah Jin disappear from her sight.
Suddenly, she was the only one left in the room. Liuli lowered her head, held the tea bowl in her hand again, and drank it one by one, until she drank the bowl of tea cleanly, and then got up to open the door.
Outside the door, the first sight was already standing by the door, waiting for a long time. The cold wind swept the fine snow down on him, and he didn't seem to feel cold. It wasn't until he saw Liuli come out that he moved, "Senior sister, the horses have been prepared for you, they are the best in our stables." “
"Good. When I first saw it, I will trouble you to help my sister in the future. If there is anything that cannot be solved, just send a letter to the unruly mountain. “
"Yes, I knew it at first sight." At first sight, he responded respectfully, and his body leaned slightly, which showed his respect for Liuli. Liuli looked at him and wanted to say a few more words, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them in the end.
Those words are about Ah Jiu. She didn't want to say it, because she didn't want to add to the troubles of the first meeting. Hatsumi noticed that Ruri was just standing there in silence, so he looked up at her with a puzzled expression. "Senior sister, is there anything else you would like to tell you about the first meeting?"
"No, you and Ah Jin are very good, there is nothing more that I need to advise." Ruri shook her head, put the curtain on, and headed for the back door of the inn. There, the innkeeper had been leading the horse for a long time.
Liuli reached out and took the reins, touched the horse's fur a few more times, and then turned to look at Hatsumi and said, "Senior brother, I'm leaving." “
It was only at this time that I suddenly realized that parting was close at hand, and I was reluctant. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally he could only sigh and say, "Senior sister, cherish." “
"Yes, so do you." Liuli replied softly, leading the horse slowly into the bustling crowd in the downtown area.
The snow has been drifting, and occasionally some small snow seeds will float into the curtain and blow onto Ruri's face, as if to hold her. Ruri stopped walking, stopped in the crowd, and just stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake, but was grabbed tightly.
The temperature of the man's palm was so hot that her cold palm came to life in one fell swoop. Liuli looked at him in a daze through the purple weft.
"This official, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Luo Teng listened to the woman's cold and hard tone, and subconsciously wanted to let go of this slender wrist, but the touch was too familiar, which made his eyes become resolute again, "If it is said that the same person is mistaken twice, it is too much of a coincidence." You clearly came out of the Yunlai Inn just now. “
"So what."
Liuli's voice was still calm, and there was no panic at all. This made Luo Teng a little confused. A wave of impatience ensued, "You're her, aren't you?" “
Liuli was stunned when she heard this, in her impression, Luo Teng has always been indifferent and detached. It was the first time she had seen someone so desperately looking for someone as she was now. Ruri lowered her head and staggered her gaze, not wanting the man to disturb her vision anymore.
Her body didn't move, but her tone became more and more cold, "This official, I really don't understand what you're talking about. “
"You??" Luo Teng was just about to say something, when suddenly the horse beside the woman neighed, broke free from the reins in the woman's hand, and rushed towards the crowd in the city. Luo Teng was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with the loose horse, and chased it out for several steps before suddenly realizing that the mysterious woman was not following. By the time he turned back to look for the woman, she was long gone.
Ruri's face was a little ugly, and she followed Hatsumi back to the backyard of the Yunlai Inn. As soon as the small door was closed, Liuli asked, "That horse, did you do it?" “
Hatsumi didn't deny it, but said: "Feixue is specially trained and won't hurt people." “
Ruri nodded and didn't say anything more. Tsutenkaku's style of acting, she has always been clear. With such a sentence at first sight, it is equivalent to getting a guarantee. When I first saw her smart, I saw that she was depressed, and I knew that it must be related to Luo Teng. He cautiously looked at Ruri's expression, but it was a pity that the curtain was hiding her face, making him unable to see it really.
He only knew that Liuli's body seemed to be a little weak. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been standing against the cold wall as soon as she returned. Hatsumi put his hands in his sleeves, a heart hanging, and he kept an eye on the movements of the glass all the time.
Liuli leaned against the wall for a while, and then slowly stood up straight and said, "Why did you suddenly do this, and you are not afraid of being seen by him." “
"Senior sister, it's a letter from the Unruly Mountain. A handwritten letter from the master of Daiyue Hall?? Young master, gone. Hatsumi looked up at Ruri and replied softly word by word.
"What did you say?" Liuli was stunned for a moment, and her chaotic thoughts immediately sobered up.
"Young master, it's gone. Even the Daiyue Hall Master couldn't find any trace of him. At first sight, I expected that Ruri would react like this, so I repeated it again good-naturedly.
“?? Did you tell Ah Jin about this? “
"As soon as I received the news, I sent someone to deliver a letter to the eldest lady."
"Okay," Liuli nodded, putting aside her entanglements with Luo Teng for the time being, "Then I will also go back to Green Willow Villa immediately and explain this matter to the pavilion master." “
After that, she looked down at her dress again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't wear this suit anymore." Go and prepare an old woman's clothes for me. “
"Yes." When I first saw the order, I was about to turn around and make arrangements, but when I saw Liuli standing in place and didn't move, I asked with concern, "Senior sister, do you have any other orders?" “
"No," Ruri shook her head, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She slowly took off the curtain and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "I was just thinking, he must have thought that I did it on purpose when Feixue went crazy just now." “
??
In the jewelry alley, Ah Jin was sitting in Shen Molin's goldware shop and holding the soup woman to warm his hands. Shen Molin sat across a square table from her, and excitedly told him about the news he had just gotten, "Eldest sister, there are people in Baicao Town who sell that longevity grass at a high price. I plan to take Wang Langzhong to rush over tomorrow, and if the wind is smooth, I estimate that I will be there in five days. “
Ah Jin lowered his head and listened to his plan, but his face was calm, "What is the origin of the seller?" Reselling the medicinal materials at the door of the Medicine King Valley, and not afraid that the people of the Medicine King Valley will be angry and will not be able to come out? “
"I've heard that he is also a poor man. I asked for this longevity grass to see my sweetheart, but unfortunately I finally waited for this flavor medicine, and the person was gone?? I think he did such a thing in front of the Medicine King Valley, and he was a little angry. “
"Although this reason is a little childish, it makes sense??" The doubts in his heart were solved, and Ah Jin and Shen Molin officially talked about going to Baicao Town to buy medicine, "Let me ask you, how much did that person pay for this longevity grass?" “
Shen Molin didn't expect Ah Jin to ask this, so he replied without thinking too much, "Listening to the news brought back by the people of Caoyun, one hundred taels of gold should only be the reserve price." “
"You don't even tell me about such an important thing. If I don't ask you, are you going to advance money to the Song family? Ah Jin glanced at Shen Molin and asked angrily.
Shen Molin looked at Ah Jin with an embarrassed expression, "Not really, just think??" This kind of thing is too much to say with the eldest sister on the table. “
"The money involved in this matter is huge, and you can't just let you silently cushion the Song Mansion like this, which is not suitable for reason. You wait for me to go back and report to my in-laws, and give you a letter tomorrow morning at the latest, you must wait for me. “
As soon as Ah Jin's words fell, he stood up and hurriedly rushed to the Song Mansion again. Shen Molin sent Ah Jin to the carriage and watched her take Ah Zhen out of the jewelry alley, and then went into the store again to take care of the business.
Jewelry Alley is not far from the Song Mansion, but a cup of tea Kung Fu Ah Jin has already arrived at the door. As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw Song Wenyu standing at the gate looking this way.
Ah Jin looked at him with disgust and said, "Why are you standing here blowing the wind?" “
"I'm waiting for you," Song Wenyu said, bending down slightly, so that Ah Jin could tighten the collar of his cloak for himself, "Father and mother are also waiting for us in the main room." “
Ah Jin listened to his words and immediately laughed, "It turns out that there is such a stubble." “
"They are waiting for you, and it has nothing to do with me waiting for you." Song Wenyu looked at her smiling eyebrows and reached out to hold her hand. Ah Jin's warm and soft palm made his frozen fingertips regain some warmth, "You don't have to worry, what I heard from Shen Da Langjun is to paraphrase it." Both father and mother were sensible people. “
"I know, I'm not afraid."
The two came to the door of the main room hand in hand, Song Wenyu let go of Ah Jin's hand, took Ah Jin to the main room, and first saluted the two elders sitting on the main seat, "Father, mother, Ah Jin is back." “
"Merkin, come and sit down. Regarding the matter of prolonging grass, is there any news from Shen Dalangjun's side? After Song Wenyu and Ah Jin saluted, Song Gefei asked about it straight to the point. After all, it is a matter of life and death for his mother, and it is understandable to be anxious, Ah Jin did not feel abrupt, but felt that Song Gefei showed some human touch in this matter.
"There you go. There are people in Baicao Town who are willing to sell the longevity grass they just wanted, but ?? I heard that 100 taels of gold is just the reserve price. Originally, my brother planned to take Wang Langzhong, who was recommended by Wei Yuan, to Baicao Town tomorrow, but I thought that I would have to come back and report this matter involving money. “
The people of the Song family all jumped between their eyebrows when they heard Ah Jin's words, Song Gefei was silent, and only said after a while: "In this way, I will discuss it with your mother-in-law, and I will definitely give you an answer tonight." Wen Yu, you take Mo Jin back to the room to rest first. “
"Yes, then the son and Merkin will retire first." Song Wenyu listened to his father's instructions and withdrew from the main house with Ah Jin.
As soon as the husband and wife left the room, Song Gefei turned his head to look at Song Yu and said, "Let's count the Zhuangzi at hand and see what price it can be sold on the market." “
"Master, what do you want??" Song Yu looked at Song Gefei and had already vaguely guessed what Song Gefei meant. I only felt pain in my heart, "Mo Jin said just now, one hundred taels of gold is just the floor price??" Even if you sell all the Zhuangzi, you won't be able to make up so much money in a short period of time. “
"I can't make it up in a short time, and it should be returned to the Shen family within a certain period of time," Song Gefei's thoughts Song Gefei saw it early in the morning, but he didn't break it, and he told in a calm and firm voice: "Tonight, we will take the ten taels of gold that the previous saint rewarded us with and give it to Mo Jin, and then let Wen Yu draw up a note for Mo Jin to bring to the Shen family." “
"Master, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Song Yu's eyes widened and he looked at Song Gefei. If it weren't for good cultivation, she would have screamed out a long time ago, "Where in this world is there a reason for officials to write notes to businessmen?" If this is taken away by someone with a heart, will it not be true? Sir, you have to think twice! “
"As you heard just now, a hundred taels of gold is just a floor price. I'm not doing anything now, that's the truth. You don't have to say much, but do what I say. After dinner, let's go to the East Wing together. “
With that, Song Gefei stood up and walked straight out. Song Yushi looked at his back as he left in a daze, clenching his teeth. I suddenly felt a little aggrieved in my heart.
??
Song Wenyu took Ah Jin back to the room without saying a word, turned his back and went to his study to tinker. Taking advantage of this moment, Ah Zhen came to Ah Jin's side and whispered and said quickly: "Girl, when we came out of the jewelry alley, we came to the inn and handed over the letter, saying that the young master was missing again. This time, even the Daiyue Hall Master couldn't find any trace of him. “
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that her brain hurt, she rubbed her eyebrows and walked to the soft edge to sit down, and waved her hand to Ah Zhen. At this moment, Song Wenyu came in with a sandalwood box, and seeing that she looked physically and mentally exhausted, he hurriedly walked to her and sat down and said, "After running around for such a day, are you a little tired?" “
"Nope. What is it? Ah Jin saw that Song Wenyu was holding a delicate and small box in his hand, and asked curiously.
"Here is the ten taels of gold given by the emperor when I first won the top prize. When you go to see off Shen Dalangjun tomorrow, you must remember to bring this to him. “
When Ah Jin heard this, he didn't go to pick up the box, "These ten taels of gold mean a lot to you, how can you give it to people casually." “
"This is saving people's lives, how can you say casually? Besides, it's for my brother-in-law, not for someone else. Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin and said very seriously.
It's just that the more he says such things with a serious attitude, the more it seems to be teasing Ah Jin. Ah Jinqiao blushed and looked away. At this time, she really couldn't meet Song Wenyu's eyes, for fear that the other party would see that her face was different, "I said that it was the reserve price of one hundred taels of gold, and he wouldn't take it if he gave it ten taels in the past, a drop in the bucket." “
"That's all I can get out."
"I'm not too little, am I??" Ah Jin jerked his head back. Just about to explain, when she saw Song Wenyu's teasing eyes, she knew that she had been tricked. She pouted, and had to take the small sandalwood box in her hand, "Let's say it first, if he doesn't want to accept it, you can't blame me for being unfavorable." “
Song Wenyu smiled, and she continued to stiffen her mouth.
??
Early the next morning, Ah Jin went to the jewelry alley with a box of gold, silver, jewelry, and the Song family's notes.
Shen Molin was already ready, just waiting for Ah Jin to come and see him off. Unexpectedly, Ah Jin actually brought such things. Shen Molin had a difficult look on his face and wanted to refuse. But Ah Jin refused with a word, "My father-in-law said very resolutely at the time, if we don't accept these things, there will be that note." This Baicao Town, don't go. “
When Shen Molin heard this, he had no choice but to accept it. Ah Jin looked at the shop and asked, "What will you do with your store when you leave?" “
"The shopkeeper and the errand boy are all domestic servants specially brought from Jiangnan, and they are very reliable. I also told them that if you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, you must remember to go to the Song Mansion to find your sister," he said, he took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve and put them in Ah Jin's hand, "This is the backup key of the treasury, the eldest sister must keep it for me, and wait for me to come back." “
"Good. Be careful and wait for your good news. “
"Yes." Shen Molin said goodbye to Ah Jin, and took Wang Langzhong into the carriage together. Ah Jin stood at the mouth of the alley and watched the carriage drift away, and suddenly felt a little trance.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ah Zhen asked with some curiosity, "Girl, what are you thinking?" “
"I suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of people talking to me for a while." After Ah Jin sighed such a sentence, he also turned around and left the jewelry alley and returned to the Song Mansion to resume his life.
