Chapter 135: Supplements
At the beginning of spring this year, Kangning Fang placed several large orders, the output of herbs was scarce, and Gan Song Yuan did not want to take it, but Kangning Fang postponed the delivery date and postponed it, and the price was raised and raised.
Kangningfang also knew that these medicinal materials were difficult to fertile, and did not force Jatamansi to pay a sufficient amount, and he would receive whatever was raised, so he placed an order early, but he was worried that he was afraid that Gansong would sell the medicine to other families.
Therefore, Jatamansi bought or hired a few slaves these days, all of whom worked in the medicine fields on the outskirts of the city.
Gan Song also gave Zheng Lingyi a deed this time, as well as the profits from the previous year, and handed it over to her.
"Many things in the medicine field already need to be taken care of by yourself, but now although there are more people, it is also quite laborious to discipline, but I am afraid that you will not be able to keep busy."
Zheng Lingyi is not greedy, he has never forced Gan Song to make more profits, and he is not controlled by many people, he is really a good owner.
Gan Song waved his hand and said slowly: "It's okay, I have moved to live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city with the boy from the stone." The stone has grown a lot, and coupled with the tall and large size of the man, he can control his subordinates and save his careless efforts. ”
He looked a little strange when he spoke, and he always said the last sentence, so he glanced at Zheng Lingyi, as if he was embarrassed to say something hidden.
Zheng Lingyi thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Do you want to ask about Qiaoluo's current situation?" ”
The tea lid in his hand touched the bowl, almost broken, Gansong nervously covered the tea bowl, put the tea bowl on the coffee table and put it down, and then said very embarrassedly: "I, I just want to ask." ”
This sounds good, but I haven't seen an acquaintance for a long time, so I'm just asking a few words.
At worst, this is a servant who covets someone else's house.
Zheng Lingyi didn't feel that Gansong's mind was dirty, but felt a little sorry for him.
At Qiaoluo's age, it's almost time to get married, but as soon as she leaves, Aunt Jiang has no real person in the Guogong Mansion to speak.
So according to his selfish intentions, Zheng Lingyi still looks forward to staying in Qiaoluo for a few more years.
"I just met her the other day and she's fine."
Zheng Lingyi avoided Gansong's sudden light of sight, only to feel as if he was drawing the Milky Way with a golden hairpin, and wanted to divide their lovers.
Gan Song didn't think about it so much, and he didn't think about it in the long run, and when he heard the words 'she is fine', he smiled, a simple person who wrote everything on his face.
Lu Xian knew a little about the origin of Jataman, so he invited him to stay for lunch.
When he smuggled Gan Song out of the Wu family and saved his life, Lu Xian also made a contribution.
So before the banquet began, Gan Song first toasted Lu Xian, and as soon as the wine entered his throat, it was so spicy that he grinned his teeth, but he still drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Xian is a good drinker, and he can see at a glance that this Gansong is a person who can't drink, and when he sees that he wants to respect again, he hurriedly hugged the wine jar and said, "Come on, it's like a cow drinking water." Don't spoil it, how good is Ansheng to drink a bowl of sea bass soup? ”
A small table was set up on the other side of the screen for Zheng Lingyi and Su Shi to use, which could not only avoid suspicion, but also not delay everyone's speech.
Lu Xian's cloth shop, the front is a shop, and the back is a small house, and the Lu family of five lives in it, which is enough for it.
Su's youngest daughter is only two years old, and her face is like a white-faced longevity peach.
She had eaten rice cereal early, drooled, and slept in the cradle next to Su Shi, which was really cute.
Su also has two sons, the eldest son Lu Ning went to the north to travel, and the second son Lu Zhi also went to school in Rongxi Academy.
Long before the banquet began, Su Shi asked people to prepare two servings of food, and sent them to the school together for Wu Zhi and Lu Zhi.
"In a few months, it will be autumn, and I have a few medicinal recipes here, which are always used by my nephew, and it is the best way to replenish qi and nourish the spirits. Madame, you have to put some effort into getting some for my brother to eat. ”
Su Shi said, handing Zheng Lingyi a booklet.
"Just call me by my name, you don't have to be so careful."
Zheng Lingyi also persuaded Su Shi a few times, but she was always a little embarrassed, so she only smiled and didn't answer.
Zheng Lingyi pretended to be angry and didn't want to eat, and Su Shi couldn't do anything about her, so he whispered 'Lingyi'.
It's not that Zheng Lingyi coaxed her, or she coaxed Zheng Lingyi, in short, she had a comfortable meal.
After the meal, after some gossip, Zheng Lingyi left with the green beads.
Su Shi and Lu Xian sent her to the carriage, watching the carriage drift away, Su Shi sighed with emotion: "Lingyi, this kid is really good, he doesn't have much to say and do, but he is skillful everywhere, as if he came easily." I don't want our daughter-in-law to look like this in the future, just have this kind of demeanor. ”
"It's so easy to find." Lu Xian thought of his eldest son who was outside, shook his head, and said: "This daughter-in-law was targeted by that kid early on, and God had the opportunity to fulfill his wishes. ”
"How do you say that your nephew is like a swinger with a bad belly." Su Shi slapped Lu Xian's chest lightly, and went back to take care of his little daughter.
The carriage moved slowly, and the coachman did not dare to drive too eagerly, because he was afraid that the noble master's house was sitting in the car.
The original coachman was to drive for Qiao's and his family, but when he went out today, he was dragged off the carriage by Wu Jie, and ordered the new coachman to come forward to drive the horse.
The coachman was no more than twenty years old, and the person Wu punished himself for buying with his own money was called Wang Dou.
Wang Dou's bottom is fine and clean, and the body deed is pinched in his hand, only in this way can Wu Punishment be reluctantly relieved.
There are only two masters and servants in the carriage, and Lu Zhu has been surprisingly quiet lately, always looking preoccupied.
Now that there is finally no one else, Lu Zhu moved to Zheng Lingyi's side, looked at her fake face, and said lightly: "Madam, can I ask you a question?" ”
Zheng Lingyi looked at her with empty eyes, and her eyes were hidden behind her dense eyelashes, making it unpredictable to understand the emotions in them.
Lu Zhu was a little scared, shrank back again, lowered his head and said softly: "The slave doesn't ask." ”
This matter has obviously been held in her heart for a long time, and her restless appearance in the past few days Zheng Lingyi also saw it in her eyes, she is really not a bad person, if she doesn't solve her doubts, I'm afraid that she will be suffocated.
Zheng Lingyi vaguely guessed a few points, so he said, "Ask." ”
Lu Zhu lowered his head and said a few words, but he didn't know what he was afraid of, and his speech was intermittent and upside down.
However, Zheng Lingyi can be regarded as understanding, what Lu Zhu refers to is what she said in front of Qiao's family, to turn her back on Wu Punishment.
"I have to plan for my birth mother and sisters." Zheng Lingyi deliberately said vaguely, wanting to see Luzhu's reaction.
This answer was obviously not what Lu Zhu wanted to hear, she seemed to be very shocked, but after taking a deep breath, she still said, "I know, the slave will help Madame." ”
Her look of seeing death as if she was at home made Zheng Lingyi laugh, and Lu Zhu looked at her inexplicably.
Zheng Lingyi almost laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, so he had to confess: "It's a play, is it possible to be embarrassed with them?" ”
Zheng Ling looked relieved and said, "What's the matter?" Afraid I'm a two-faced person? ”
Lu Zhu nodded and shook her head, and said in confusion: "The slave doesn't know her own thoughts, but I just think that if you don't have the same heart with your uncle, it would be a pity, madam." ”
This vague and inexplicable sentence is like a tender willow bud brushing over the heart in spring, making people feel itchy.
Zheng Lingyi suddenly felt a little ashamed, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The wind tugged at the curtain of the car, and a finger of light suddenly fell on her closed eyes, and then disappeared suddenly.
On the road from the cloth shop to the Wu family, Zheng Lingyi had two beautiful dreams, but he didn't remember the dreams at all, and only woke up with a calm and tranquil mood, like honey mixed with water, light and sweet.
When the master and servant returned to the quiet residence, Mrs. Qiu, who was guarding the door, said to Zheng Lingyi: "Madam, it seems that the second young lady in the house came just now, and I heard that you were not there, so I left again." ”
'Gorman? Zheng Lingyi thought, smiled at Mrs. Qiu, and said, "I know." ”
Lu Zhu walked in with her in her arms, and asked with some concern: "Madam, will she hold a grudge if she stops her outside like this?" ”
"It's normal to lose face and feel unhappy, if you can make friends with someone, you can always make up for it in the future. If, as you say, you hold a grudge against us, you are really stingy. ”
Although compared to that Wan Yuanyuan, Gao Man also left a better impression on Zheng Lingyi.
However, after all, the two have little intersection, and it is not appropriate to make a judgment on this, so it is better to be careful.
Before Wu Xian returned home, Zheng Lingyi was sitting at the table and looking at the medicinal diet book that Su Shi gave her.
The matter of Qiu Yu is really important, if Wu Zhi can have a good future, many things will not have to look at the eyes of others.
"Green." Zheng Lingyi looked at a medicinal diet that should be tonic in the spring, and suddenly remembered something, so he called out.
"Eh, ma'am, what's wrong?" Lu Nong was dusting off, and after putting away the duster, he came over and listened to the instructions.
Zheng Lingyi pointed to the few tonic herbs on the booklet and said, "Is there any tonic herbs in the quiet house?" For example, wolfberry, salvia, turtle and the like? ”
Lu Nong kept all the things in the warehouse in mind, thought about it and said, "These are there, there are two medicine boxes from Kangning Fang in the warehouse." The slave maid asked my uncle, it seems that Kangning Fang sent two boxes to us because of business dealings. These common tonics are available, but the more expensive ones are gone. ”
"We can't use the more expensive ones, it's too late today, and let Mother Jin stew a cup of ginseng and fish soup tomorrow."
Zheng Lingyi felt that the origin of the medicinal materials was proper, so he transcribed the recipe again, handed it to Lu Nong, and said, "I have seen this recipe, it can indeed warm the body." There is no need for too powerful supplements, and it is too much to save. ”
Lu Nong smiled and said, "Okay, stew two cups, the heat is enough, Mrs. and Uncle use some together." ”
