Downing was a little surprised.

She didn't even think of it as a deal. Ming Gong caught her Xingzang and asked her for a medicine that blindly caused people to hallucinate, even if it was Ming Suo, she couldn't help but give it.

Mu Dianke is going to pay her money?

Seeing Tang Ning's doubts, Mu Dian laughed and said, "Miss Tang, don't worry, your collection will not leak out of the Ming Palace." ”

Tang Ning is a rare talent, and it is unknown what the future will be, so it is not appropriate to grudge. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are nothing to the Ming Palace, but they can turn this threatening incident into a peaceful transaction and eliminate a potential enemy. Why not?

Since Mu Dianke said so, Tang Ning was no longer polite.

She is a genius, but she is not a genius like Mei Longxue who doesn't know everything. On the contrary, under Tang Yinong's emphasis on training, she has a sophistication beyond her age in dealing with human feelings. This kind of thing is naturally not a problem: "'Zhu Yanxiao' is a secret medicine that is not spread by the Tang Sect. ”

Mu Dian laughed: "No matter how secret the medicine is, there is always a price." As long as Miss Tang doesn't trick me into being wronged, it's fine. ”

There is no medicine that is not passed on. As long as she can afford the price, she can get it from Tang Ning, and Mu Cangping can get it from Tang Men.

Downing held out a hand.

Five fingers on one hand. Since Tang Ning has opened the price, it will not be as simple as five taels or fifty taels.

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It can't be less." ”

Mu Dian laughed and said: "It's not expensive." May I ask Miss Tang, how do you pay the silver two? ”

Tang Ning hid in the Yi Kindergarten Hospital, 50,000 taels of silver was not much, but it was a lot less, and it was obviously inappropriate to swagger into the Yi Kindergarten Hospital.

Tang Ning said: "I want cash." Send it to Childcare today. ”

Mu Dianke was slightly stunned: "In the name of donation? ”

"It's a donation. I don't sell medicines. ”

Mu Dianke was really a little surprised, and looked at Tang Ning for a moment, his expression was a little silent.

Tang Ning said: "If the fourth lady feels embarrassed, I can cut the 50,000 taels of silver by 10,000 taels." As long as Miss Four donates money, don't mention me. ”

When Xu Younan told Mu Dianke that Tang Ning was hiding in the Yi Kindergarten Hospital, Mu Dianke was really taken aback. Who would have thought that the former genius of the Tang Sect would go to the orphanage to be an ordinary teacher. I get up early every day, clean the courtyard, teach the orphans to read and write, and use the extra food to boil maltose for the children to eat.

Now it seems that what Xu Younan said is true.

Mu Dian laughed and said: "Tomorrow is limited." One hundred thousand taels of silver, one tael is not less. The extra 50,000 taels are the right for me to do my part for Miss Tang. ”

Tang Ning is not a child of a small family who has never seen the world, on the contrary, she is well-informed, and she has also been subjected to too many attachments and stammers, so she is very indifferent to Mu Dianke's overture: "Just tomorrow." ”

Tang Ning walked to the door and turned around, "I thought you would ask me why I left the Tang Gate and hid in the Kindergarten." ”

When she said that, she naturally wanted someone to ask. Mu Dianke said: "Why? ”

Tang Ning said: "Because I'm tired of it." Tired of killing, tired of doing things that don't make sense. ”

Mu Dianke didn't speak.

Downing continued: "I have been called a genius since I was a child, and I have been raised high and at the same time I have lived in worry all the time. I'm afraid I'm going to fall, I'm afraid I'm not the genius they want. So I pay more and work harder than ordinary people. Maybe I'm not a genius in the first place, but I'm just working harder than others. Fourth Miss, can you understand this feeling? ”

Mu Dian didn't understand. Her childhood was bright and splendid, with five-flowered horses, pomegranate skirts, and she lived freely and freely, and she never had such worries as Downing.

Downing continued, "When I first learned to walk, I was dealing with poison and hidden weapons. Watching the fresh lives turn into dry bones in your own hands, you get satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from it. I didn't know before...... It's such a disgusting thing. I have seen dying lives being revived before my own eyes, and I have seen those who are weak being respected and feared. I also saw children dressed dirty, who regarded me as the closest and most trusted person just because of a steamed bun...... Ever since I was governor, I've rarely been moved by anything. The former life was glorious and decent, but it was not how unhappy it was...... But I always feel that I shouldn't live like that...... I don't know if Miss Four has ever felt like this? ”

Mu Dianke was silent for a moment and said, "If Miss Tang was still in the Tang Gate at the moment, she would not have such feelings. ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "That's the same. ”

Turned around and walked out.

Mu Dianke leaned against the window and saw that Tang Ning did not hold an umbrella or a hat, dressed in coarse cloth, walking on the oil-paper umbrellas blooming like lotus leaves on the street, and between the silk umbrellas, there was a toughness that was different from the lingering taste of Jiangnan.

She stopped in front of the utility shop across the street and bought a wooden basin and a broom. I bought two more shuttlecocks next door. Standing at the door and talking to the boss for a long time, it should be a bargain.

Then she carried the basin, the broom, and two feathered shuttlecocks into the gate of the Kindergarten.

A well-dressed woman walked out of the gate, her face was coated with thick fat powder, her arms were wrapped in green yarn, and she looked like a woman in the Qinglou Dance Workshop.

Tang Ning smiled and talked to the woman, and his attitude was very affectionate and familiar. The two stopped and talked for a while, and the woman boarded a light gauze sedan chair and merged into the colorful flow of people under the smoke and rain.

Mu Dian used to look down on those women who sang and laughed for a living, but now he felt that he was not much nobler than those people.

Maybe this woman came here with three or two steamed buns and donated some needles and threads. Maybe she's going to go to the party to laugh as soon as she gets out of the car, or maybe she's going to earn money at night under some vulgar benefactor. But her soul is much nobler and cleaner than herself, than most people in this world.

The smoke and rain rained down preemptively, wetting the roof tiles and the willows on the side of the street. There is water on the bluestone slab, and as soon as you step on it, it is a flower, splashing on the corner of the skirt, with the cool and humidity unique to Jiangnan at this time.

Mu Dianke entered an antique shop called Bu Qi. Because it was a rainy day, the business in the shop was deserted, and the owner was napping by the counter with his sleeves cageed. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old man was leaning on a stool and wiping dust on a cupboard.

I don't know how many times he wiped it, but the row of cabinets was obviously some years old, and it looked really bright and clean.

The young man jumped down from the stool and greeted with a smile: "The first guest officer is back, right?" Would you like to introduce you to something you want to see? ”

"I want a pre-Qin pottery bottle, with a thin mouth, half a foot in the belly, preferably with carved flowers."

The young man's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Unfortunately, there were a lot of pottery in the small shop Qin Shi before, but there was no such thing as the guest officer said." However, there are a few pieces of the Han Dynasty, and the craftsmanship is much more exquisite than before the Qin Dynasty, can the guest officer be interested? ”

"What fancy?"

"Two pieces, one for a beast with a human face, and one for sacrificing grains."

"Nothing else?"

"Next month or coming. Is the guest officer a long-term resident Gusu or a guest officer? ”

"Guest house. Just two pieces, show them to me. ”

"Guest, please come with me."

Turning the three cabinets, Mu Dianke reached out to get a clay pot with a human-faced beast pattern, and as soon as his fingers loosened, a wax-sealed scroll fell into the clay pot.
