Chapter 46: Joining forces
Not long after staying in the herb shop, someone came to her and said that the peony girl invited her to Xiangmanlou for a while.
She refused directly without thinking about it, what peony peony, where did she know.
"Summer has passed, why is it still so hot today?"
"Yes, let's be better here, at least it's not raining."
"Don't say it, it has rained in Huaizhou for two months in a row, and in recent days, it has rained a lot, and the slightly lower positions over there have been flooded, and a year's work has been lost, and I heard that many people have died of hunger!"
"Didn't the emperor send ministers over to relieve the disaster? And the official family has already opened a warehouse to release grain, how can people still starve to death? ”
"Hey! You don't know this, I heard that the disaster relief was not completed, but several ministers died, and there was not much food in the official granary, Huaizhou is so big, and there are so many people, where is there enough to eat, even if there is food, it is the first to follow those high-ranking officials and nobles, and in the end only we ordinary people starved to death. ”
"Don't talk about it, it's not something we should worry about."
Lin Yuniang raised her head and glanced at the few guests chatting in the herb shop, then lowered her head and continued to check the accounts.
Today's herbal medicine shop does not have free benefits, but there are still many people who come to experience the moxa bed, and her free sales model has also greatly increased the popularity of the Zhang family and the sales of supplements, special ginger tea, low-grade medicinal materials, and moxa pillars, and the profits are also very considerable.
Her ability and mind are obvious to all, which is why the old lady wronged her niece and granddaughter to be a flat wife, instead of reducing her, a country girl, to a concubine.
"Young lady, this is a medicinal herb that needs to be purchased, please take a look." Zhao Dafu, the shopkeeper of Renjitang, handed several documents in his hand to Lin Yuniang.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, the price of this wormwood seems to be a bit problematic." Lin Yuniang pointed to a string of numbers on the slip.
Zhao Dafu is now obedient to Lin Yuniang, not as contemptuous as before: "Young lady, this is right." ”
He didn't dare to do anything about the price, in the past, when Aunt Feng was in charge of the medicinal herb shop, the second lady profited from it, and she would give him some benefits, but since the medicinal herb shop was taken over by this young lady, the second lady rarely came, although he had privately approached him and asked him to do something on the accounts or purchase documents, he refused on the pretext that the young lady was watching closely.
Lin Yuniang said gently: "Shopkeeper Zhao, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that there is a problem with the documents, but that the price of our purchase of wormwood is a bit high, as far as I know, wormwood is all over the mountain, mainly because the process behind making mugwort moxa sticks is more troublesome, so our selling price naturally can't be so small from the range of the buying price." The price of buying this wormwood has to be lowered by another five layers, which is really not good, so we will hire someone to collect it ourselves. ”
This shopkeeper Zhao just started to disobey himself, nothing more than looking down on her, a girl from the countryside, and also felt that she was blocking his financial path.
But now she did make the business in the shop more prosperous, and proposed a commission system to the old lady, and also got the old lady's approval, the business in the shop is good, everyone makes money, and it also dispels the idea of a group of people with bad intentions, and this Zhao shopkeeper is no exception.
Shopkeeper Zhao and a few doctors who heard this shouted in their hearts at the same time, the young lady is really black-hearted.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go back first, bye-bye." Lin Yuniang looked at the sky, closed the accounts, and said hello to Shopkeeper Zhao and others before leaving the medicine shop.
"Miss Lin, please stay."
A woman in white with a veil walked in front of her, Lin Yuniang bypassed the woman in white, and was about to continue walking, but she didn't want the woman in white to stop her, and her voice sounded a little familiar.
"You called me?" Lin Yuniang pointed at herself.
The woman in white nodded.
Lin Yuniang glanced at the still lively street: "I don't know the girl, are you wrong?" ”
"The little girl's name is Peony, and I want to discuss some things about the little son of the Zhang family with Miss Lin." Peony directly explains the meaning.
Lin Yuniang's heart moved: "Dare to ask what aspects are it about?" ”
Peony glanced around: "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's change places." ”
Lin Yuniang suffered the loss last time, and didn't dare to contact people casually: "If you don't say it, just do it!" ”
Seeing that she was leaving, Peony was anxious, and blurted out: "About the little young master of the Zhang family and Miss Gu Ruoshuang." ”
What does Gu Ruoshuang and Zhang Yelin have to do with her.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in them." After Lin Yuniang finished speaking, she lifted her feet and continued to walk forward.
Peony hurriedly caught up: "As the young lady of the Zhang family and the wife of the young master of the Zhang family, are you indifferent to watching your husband and others Qin Se and Ming Sunrise enter and fall?" ”
"Everyone has their own way of life, and if they truly love each other, I will naturally enjoy the beauty of adults." Lin Yuniang continued to stride forward.
Peony was a little tired from chasing, so she ran two steps directly in front of her: "What woman doesn't want her husband to be the only one in her heart, and I believe that Miss Lin, you are no exception." ”
Lin Yuniang stopped and looked at the peony carefully, although she couldn't see the specific appearance, but judging from the curve of her body, she must also be a beauty.
She remembered, isn't this peony the Oiran in the Fragrance Courtyard?
"Miss Peony laughed, now which man is not three wives and four concubines, how dare I expect that my husband is the only one." She lowered her eyelids to hide the emotion from her eyes.
Peony was very satisfied with Lin Yuniang's answer: "As long as you want, I can help you." ”
"Really? So how can you help me? What are the conditions? Lin Yuniang showed a look of surprise and joy on her face.
In this regard, Peony was even more unwilling in her heart, why could a fool with a mediocre appearance and a poor background marry a character like Gongzi, but she wanted to laugh with others in a lowly Qinglou? A character like Childe should be matched with a beautiful, virtuous, knowledgeable woman like her, how can such a mountain person climb high.
"Miss Lin, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm Lin Gongzi's person, as long as you join forces with me, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to deal with Gu Ruoshuang's vixen." Peony's voice paused: "As for the conditions, that is, after the matter is completed, I can go to the Zhang family to take care of Lin Gongzi, and it doesn't matter if I am a wife, a concubine, or a girl." ”
As long as she goes to Zhang's house, she is not afraid that she will not be able to do the position of her wife, where is this mountain girl her opponent.
Lin Yuniang smiled: "Won't being a concubine and a girl in the room be too wronged by you, Peony girl?" ”
Peony didn't know what she was laughing at, but after listening to her words, he despised her even more in his heart: "As long as you can serve your son, even if you don't have a name, Peony doesn't care." ”
Lin Yuniang nodded, didn't say anything, and bypassed the peony that was in the way again.
"Miss Lin, what do you mean by that?" Peony's face changed slightly, and she stretched out her hand to continue to block the way.
"It's not interesting, I just think that it will be more useful for you to go to Gu Ruoshuang or Zhang Yelin than to find me." Although Lin Yuniang was a little annoyed by the entanglement of peonies, she still explained kindly.
"You just... It's intentional. Peony came to her senses, and the beautiful eyes exposed outside the white gauze were full of shame.
"I'm still in a hurry to go back, Peony girl, you can do it yourself."
This time, Peony did not stop Lin Yuniang again, but stared at her departing back with those eyes that were unwilling to hate.
