Chapter 278: A Visit
The next day, another news in the capital shook hundreds of families, this time the plague in the west, the officials involved all raided their homes and beheaded, and none of them were spared, but they were also very happy!
Lin Huiru looked at Xu Ziqiao, who came back from the dust, and immediately understood something, "Let me ask you a question." ”
"What?" Xu Ziqiao put down his official hat and looked back at Lin Huiru suspiciously.
"It's not that bad this time, is it? Is it that Your Majesty wants to use this excuse to severely punish the officials?" Lin Huiru thought that if she guessed correctly, a large part of the officials who were executed were people from King Xiang.
And if there are really heavy casualties, the wolf smoke of burning corpses should be able to be seen from the capital.
Xu Ziqiao didn't expect this matter to be taken into Lin Huiru's hands, he frowned, and asked worriedly, "How did you know about this?"
"Guess." Lin Huiru can't say that she went to Qi Zhengxi for this matter, because Qi Zhengxi and Xu Ziqiao's soup hair made her suspicious, and now the number of officials who have been punished and harmed is huge, but it has never been more serious than before, so Lin Huiru guessed that this was the emperor of the current dynasty who wanted to take this opportunity to sweep away these people.
She really guessed it, and she just asked casually, but she didn't expect it to be right.
Looking at Xu Ziqiao's puzzled expression, Lin Huiru sighed, "I really guessed that it was not an uncertain prophet, but you should think about it yourself, if the disaster is terrible, you will definitely burn the corpse or other things to control the virus, but I didn't even see a smoke, I just said to people that there were heavy casualties, and sometimes it was too fake?"
"Yes and yes, but this disaster is also thanks to your book, I heard that it is still a big hospital, because that book found some ways to control the epidemic in time, and then Bingxia wanted to take this opportunity to punish the officials in the court, so it is like this, but you don't make a noise about this matter." Xu Ziqiao sighed, during this period of time, he had almost waded through the muddy waters in the capital.
"Don't worry, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I can't wear anything about this kind of thing, as long as you don't leak it, but if this thing is so obvious, then that one should be aware of it, isn't this just provoking him?" Lin Huiru thought about it, wasn't that King Xiang sinister and cunning? Even she could guess it, and he couldn't see what he could see.
Xu Ziqiao rubbed Lin Huiru's forehead, "Don't think so much about this matter, he can see it, as long as others can't see it, isn't it?" This is just a matter between His Majesty's father and son, and we don't need to be a scapegoat in the middle. ”
"Of course I understand this reason, but the fire at the city gate has affected the pond fish, so it's better for us to continue to hide from him." Lin Huiru leaned on Xu Ziqiao's arms, and suddenly missed the previous days of peace and care.
Although there are people noisy around her from time to time, at least she doesn't have to worry about being scared all day long, and she has to worry about life, and Xu Ziqiao's little money alone is not enough to maintain the expenses of a mansion.
As the turmoil of this matter gradually subsided, Lin Huiru and they were no longer harassed, and after a long time, this matter was also forgotten.
According to her self-introduction, this is still a female official and a female imperial doctor.
"The people in Mrs. Lin's shop have already handed it over to me, and I like it very much after trying it, and there is very little talcum powder in it, I don't know how Mrs. Lin did it?" The imperial doctor's name was Wu Jingxian, and she was only in her early twenties, but Lin Huiru calculated her age and estimated that she was nearly thirty years old.
It's not that you can have a place in the court at a young age.
Lin Huiru prepared tea and brought it to her, "If these are said, wouldn't everyone be able to do it?"
Hearing her say this, Wu Jingxian smiled, "Also, I was abrupt, I don't know, how Mrs. Lin wants to consign." ”
"How about borrowing a piece of space from your store and dividing it into three or seven parts?" Lin Huiru sat down and asked, she saw other business opportunities from the ancient cosmetics market, how could she casually turn her own goods into someone else's, wouldn't she lose a lot?
Wu Jingxian thought for a moment after hearing this, and seemed to be a little entangled, "I also know that Mrs. Lin's things are doing well, and I can even say that as soon as Mrs. Lin's gouache comes out, many other gouache shops on the market will close down, if I exchange my own business for these three points..."
In fact, Wu Jingxian is not afraid that Lin Huiru will rob her business, after all, what she sells is not just gouache, but the benefits of this foundation can definitely attract a lot of money on the market, she doesn't want to give up this opportunity, and she doesn't want to lose a lot of income because of it.
But what's the best of both worlds?
Lin Huiru groaned, "Then Boss Wu, what do you mean?"
"Fifty-fifty points, my shop is located in the best location, with Mrs. Lin's thing, it will definitely sell hot." Wu Jingxian dared to open her mouth.
"I'm sorry." Lin Huiru almost immediately rejected the materials for this thing, she exchanged them from modern times little by little, and there were few substitutes in ancient times. She now consumes a lot of jade to exchange things, which is not cost-effective, and it is not cost-effective to sell more.
It's better for her to find a more remote place by herself.
"It's okay, but this is also my bottom line, in fact, my trip today is not all for such things, I still want to ask Mrs. Lin something." Wu Jingxian said, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Lin Huiru took a sip of tea and disagreed, "Boss Wu, please speak." ”
"Listening to what Lord Xu said, that book that records many responses to the plague was obtained by accident, Mrs. Lin?" Wu Jingxian's trip is counted, which pot is not opened.
"Yes, by accident, what?" Lin Huiru shivered in his heart, and then put down the teacup like no one else and met Wu Jingxian's gaze.
Seeing her facing each other, Wu Jingxian was even more curious, "As far as I know, whether it is my dynasty or other countries, there have been very few plagues in the past hundred years, but there are at least dozens of recipes recorded in this book. ”
"So what?" Lin Huiru pretended to be absent-minded, but sighed in his heart that this woman was really difficult, but it was just a book, it would be good if it could save people, do you have to ask what is the benefit?
