Chapter 127: No Departure
Xie Chongning turned his head slightly, as if he was chewing on the meaning of Mu Yu's words repeatedly.
Mu Yu said in a muffled voice, "Do you know that after you left, the prices of all the medicinal materials in the capital have risen, and Xie An told me that the money for buying medicinal materials was paid by Xie Fu in advance." ”
"Huh?" Xie Chongning was stunned, although the letter said that these medicinal materials were bought by Mu Yan, but it did not go into detail why she would help buy these medicinal materials.
"You must know that the court is like this now, and I don't know when they will be able to return the money for these medicinal materials to the Xie Mansion, rather than this, I can only think of some ways to make the mansion pay less."
Speaking of this, she had to sigh softly, when she was in the Luanping Marquis Mansion, she never had to worry about silver, after all, her father was the Hou Ye, and there were a lot of money in the imperial court, and Dali Siqing was not so impressive compared to it.
"The money in the house is still enough." Xie Chongning thought about the shops he handed over to Xie Yu's men, and he didn't worry about the lack of money in the house.
Mu Yu flattened his mouth, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you just tell Xie An to do things in two or three sentences, and it doesn't matter if he has so much money and can buy so many medicinal materials." ”
"That...... Did Xie An tell you? ”
He didn't say that, but how to say that I am also the mistress of Xie Mansion now, so I naturally have to think about Xie Mansion! Don't talk about this, do you know who is behind this Baishitang? ”
"Baishitang, the pharmacy that took the lead in raising prices?" Xie Chongning didn't know much, "It should be a big position." Is it safe for you to come this way? ”
"I didn't encounter chasing or anything, but I encountered a lot of investigations." Her coffin is simply a life-saving coffin, "I don't know what position the one in the capital is, when I left, I asked my eldest brother to take cover, I left one step ahead of him, but on the third day, he was intercepted." ”
She really had to sigh, in such an underdeveloped era of communication, it was possible to notify the next city within half a day and make a good deployment, what kind of ability does this person have. "I just received news from my eldest brother, and when I arrived in the next city, I was interrogated, and it didn't take half a day in total."
"So short?" Xie Chongning frowned, "It seems that this Dali Temple needs to be cleaned up." ”
"Do you think there is an inner ghost too?" Mu Yu thought for a while, and then said, "I think that not only Dali Temple has internal ghosts, but also Xie Fuli. ”
In fact, Xie Chongning had long been aware of the matter of fine work in the house, and he also knew who it was, and it was precisely because he knew who it was, so he never thought about eradicating this person.
The cabinet people are restless, they have eradicated this one, and the next one will come, rather than asking the cabinet to be vigilant and insert more eyeliner in, it is better to let this one person jump under their noses.
"Go back and clean them up." Xie Chongning nodded, "Tell me how you escaped the investigation with so many medicinal materials?" ”
Although Xie Chongning had already guessed most of the two coffins when he saw them, he still wanted to hear Mu Yu tell her in person.
Mu Yu smiled evilly and took out the rouge gouache in his arms, and recounted the inhuman treatment experienced by the two guards in the past two days, causing Xie Chongning to have more sympathy in his eyes when he saw the two of them again.
Xie Chongning entered Mu Yu's carriage, Zhang Wei naturally walked with Wuchen, Wuchen didn't talk much, and Zhang Wei felt that Wuchen was hostile to herself, she would rather hold her stomach than take the initiative to speak.
She couldn't help but turn around, just in time to see inside the carriage, Xie Chongning gave her veil to Mu Yu, but her face was uncovered, she quickly picked up the gauze prepared in advance, slowed down, and walked to the carriage.
"My lord, now that the condition in the south is serious, it is safer for you to wear a veil." Zhang Wei looked in through the window of the carriage and interrupted the conversation between Mu Yu and Xie Chongning.
Taking advantage of Xie Chongning's efforts to bring up the veil, Zhang Wei smiled at Mu Yu through Xie Chongning, and said eloquently, "Madame, has worked hard all the way, but now that the epidemic in the south is serious and the situation is extremely dangerous, Madame, do you still want to follow us and continue to travel south?" ”
The corners of Mu Yu's mouth slowly raised, in fact, the purpose of her trip was just to simply send medicinal materials to Xie Chongning, as for whether to follow Xie Chongning to the south, she really didn't think about it.
She didn't have much desire for the south, but when she heard Zhang Wei's tone of wanting to drive her away, she suddenly had the interest to stay.
She glanced at the silent Xie Chongning and smiled, "What do you think?" ”
There is an epidemic in the south, and there may be an ambush on the way back, no matter how you go, Mu Yu is in danger, and it is better to decide with others, it is better to give the choice back to Mu Yu, "Listen to you." ”
The gauze covered most of the smile on Mu Yu's face, she hesitated for a while, and said lightly, "Since the epidemic in the south is serious and you lack manpower, I will go with you, maybe I can help somewhat." ”
"It's good to have Mrs. help, but the people are worried about Mrs. Comfort, after all, this epidemic does not distinguish whether it is noble or not, if Mrs. is not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Wei smiled stiffly.
Mu Yu shook his head frankly, "The girl is really thinking about me, but I believe in the ability of you and Master Wuchen, girl, and I believe that you can find a cure for this epidemic soon, so I won't worry at all." ”
This Zhang Wei is so bold that she wants to drive herself away? She was really getting more and more curious about this girl.
"I heard from adults that Miss Zhang is very knowledgeable, and I'm really curious, what kind of background can make a girl not afraid of danger when the country is in danger?" Mu Yu asked with a smile.
Zhang Wei sat up straight and responded with the same smile, "I thought that a well-bred woman like Madam would not pay attention to other people's backgrounds. ”
Heh, this Zhang Wei actually insinuated that she was uneducated? "The girl's words are a little biased, educated people don't mind other people's backgrounds are true, but they will also pay attention to other people's backgrounds, after all, people are curious, what does the girl think?"
Zhang Wei was silent for a while, and reluctantly spoke, "What Madam said is that the folk girl is from an ordinary background, and her family members are all farmers. ”
"But judging by the girl's mannerisms and conversations, it seems to be more noble." Mu Yu smiled softly, Zhang Wei can ride a horse, but how many ordinary farmers can afford to buy a horse?
She looked at Xie Chongning sitting beside her, and couldn't help but wonder, she would have such suspicions, and Xie Chongning should definitely notice it.
"Madame laughed, I thought that talking and speaking didn't have much to do with it." Zhang Wei smiled lightly, "Since Madame is going to the south with us, you must take care of yourself, I won't bother the Lord and Madame." ”
When Zhang Wei quickened her pace, Mu Yu touched the gauze on her face and chuckled twice, "This girl, she seems to be hostile to me?" ”
"Don't worry about her." Zhang Wei's little bit of caution, Xie Chongning could see it, but he was just unwilling to deal with her, after all, there were fewer doctors at this time, and one more person would help Master Wuchen reduce a lot of pressure.
So naked provocation, how can you not care. Although she is a character who likes to be safe and have nothing to do, she is not a person who is afraid of things, and she will choose to avoid some troubles if she can avoid them, but this Zhang Wei, she can't dodge.
Xie Chongning didn't sit in the carriage for long, and then turned back on the horse, trying his best to maintain the same speed as Mu Yu, "You have a good rest." ”
Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning and nodded, the moment she saw Xie Chongning, her tense nerves were indeed a lot easier, and the feeling of sleepiness was particularly clear now, but she could take a rest.
The carriage was still swaying from side to side, but her tiredness urged her to fall asleep quickly, ignoring the unbearable jolt, and by the time she woke up, they were already in the city.
This city must have been much more desolate than before, and most of the shops have chosen to close, and there is no need to open stores when the customers are not there.
Xie Chongning helped her out of the carriage in a daze, "Eat something first, and then go to rest." ”
Because they sat at the same table as Master Wuchen, most of the dishes they called were vegetarian dishes, even if they were all green leaves, it also made Mu Yu feel extremely cordial at this time.
Sitting in the carriage, she used pancakes to solve her food and clothing problems, the pancakes were dry and hard, and had no taste at all, which could be compared to crisp vegetable leaves.
She couldn't help but eat a few more bites, Xie Chongning also took care of her, and when she saw where her eyes were glancing, she would put something on her dishes, Wuchen looked at it in her eyes, and smiled lightly, "The relationship between adults and madams is really good." ”
Mu Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed with satisfaction, "Master Wuchen doesn't know, all I have eaten along the way is some tasteless things, and I finally got salt!" ”
"Madame has worked hard to bring these medicinal herbs." Dustless smiled.
"It's not hard, as long as Master Wuchen thinks these medicinal materials are useful, I have done useful work."
Zhang Wei was completely free from the harmonious atmosphere of the three of them, and seeing that she couldn't interject, she put down her chopsticks with a solemn face, "My lord, I'm eating well, I'm not feeling well after a tiring trip today, so I'll go up first, you eat slowly." ”
Mu Yu glanced at Zhang Wei with his spare eyes, didn't take her to heart, and continued to eat.
"In the future, there will be salt in the food, so when you are full, don't eat it." Xie Chongning is happy, she eats more, but overeating is not a good thing.
"I can eat some more."
"Almost, there's better tomorrow." Xie Chongning forcibly took away the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, said goodbye to Wuchen, and pulled her on.
After closing the door, the two were silent for a while. Mu Yu touched his cheek in embarrassment, and asked inappropriately, "Is this your room, or mine?" ”
