"That's what the people I see look like."

The steward saw that although he didn't see the real appearance of the man at all, the bun on his head and the general shape of his face were very similar.

He thanked him repeatedly.

Lizhan waved his hand and said goodbye: "I can only help here, my uncle is still waiting for me in Gexiang." Don't be too anxious, if he stole your jade toad, then with the portrait, why can't you find someone? I took my leave. ”

They gave her two more steps.

Lizhan carried a lantern, walked into the alley, touched the red bracelet into the space, changed into a woman's costume and returned to the pharmacy.

The next day, the notice of the yamen was posted, and a copy was also posted next to the tea shop opposite the Zhanlin Pharmacy, and everyone gathered around to watch, and Qiao'er happily ran back to say to Lizhan: "Miss, Miss, the notice has been posted, and a reward of 100 taels of silver has been offered!" Many people want to take the list! ”

Lizhan was dispensing medicine to the children in the yard, and when she heard that there was a silver reward, she was greatly surprised, "Oh? That jade toad is worth three or four hundred taels at most, why is the pawnshop so willing to pay and offer a reward of one hundred taels so much? ”

"Miss, you don't know, only fifty taels of silver of this one hundred taels of silver are offered by the pawnshop, and the other fifty taels are posted by the yamen."

"Yamen is so generous?"

"It is said that there has been a recent turmoil in the Western Regions, there are a lot of displaced people, and there has been a lot of theft in the capital recently, and this theft is the largest amount of money this month.

"Fabulous." Lizhan turned the page of the medical book, "The pawnshop didn't say that it was drawn by someone else, right?" ”

"Miss is smart, she painted a portrait and excused herself to leave, and they didn't even have time to ask your name and surname. Bacheng took it to Jing Zhao Yin's mansion, and in order to make Jing Zhao Yin believe in this portrait, he did not say that it was painted by others, but only said that he saw it with his own eyes, found a painter, and dictated the painting. ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"I went to buy wine in the morning, and I heard it at the gate of the yamen."

Lizhan nodded, "That's good, it's just a few guys in the pawnshop." But as soon as there is news about this, I will return the jade toad. ”

Lizhan stretched out her hand to approach the burning silver bone charcoal, and suddenly heard a group of people walking in from the front hall, she looked up, and saw Lin Zhi leading a group of little sisters playing cards, talking and laughing.

"Leave my sister!"

"Nyingchi, Gul, Creek."

Lizhan put down the medical book in his hand and greeted them.

When Lizhan first took over the pharmacy, he was so busy that several little women hadn't gathered together to play cards for a long time, and they were very happy to meet again.

"Sister Li, I heard that your pharmacy business is getting more and more prosperous, but are you ready to lose the money to us?" The girl named Gul said.

"I haven't touched the cards for a long time, and my hands are tight, but you have not worked hard in private, and you are willing to work together to clean me up." Lizhan laughed with them for a few words, welcomed everyone into the side room, and went to the kang.

On the kang, there was a small table in the square, and Qiao'er made tea.

Several people were in high spirits, Xiaoxi glanced at the silver bone charcoal burning in the room, and his eyes lit up, "Sister Li, where did you buy the silver bone charcoal?" ”

"I ......"

"Huh?" Gul also looked at the white charcoal in the brazier and was surprised: "Now it can't be bought in the capital, these good charcoal were transported from Guanling in the past, but this year I encountered robbers, and even the official road was robbed, and only the remaining carrot charcoal and silver bone charcoal were all supplied to the ladies in the palace." My house is all burned with black charcoal, smoked panickedly, sometimes I would rather be cold than stabilize the taste, but in the future, it will be colder, what can I do when I enter the New Year? ”

"That's it, Sister Li, where did you buy your silver bone charcoal, tell us secretly."

Lizhan was about to fool around casually, but she didn't know that this little woman was so rare that she chattered endlessly about where she came from, and she stammered for a while, and she didn't come, so she said, "I never care about these small things, but I didn't know that silver bone charcoal is so precious." If you lack charcoal, I'll ask Qiao'er to fill it up for you, and you can call someone to get it. ”

Since he didn't know about it, Lin Zhi asked Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, where did you buy it from?" ”

Qiao'er was speechless, and after thinking for a moment, she said aggrievedly: "This is sent by His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all covered their mouths and laughed.

King Qi has heard a lot about the good things that he has left the lamp. Especially Lin Zhi, he knows it.

"Since it was sent by His Royal Highness King Qi, then we don't dare to ask for it!"

"Sister Li, you are deliberately trying to harm us!"

Lizhan shook his hand and confessed two sentences.

"Farewell to my sister to explain, Sister Zhi can tell us, when you took over the pharmacy, I gave you a plaque, and now His Royal Highness King Qi will stare at her once when he sees her."

"Yes?"

Lizhan looked at Lin Zhi, who smiled confessedly.

A few people made fun of her, and Lin Zhi suddenly changed his serious face and changed his tone: "But away from my sister, although His Royal Highness King Qi treats you well, you still have to be careful." ”

Inexplicable.

At this time, the other three exchanged glances, hesitated for a long time, and Gul pinched a handful of cards and said: "The emperor has been matching the Qi Wangfu and the Liu Mansion recently, haven't you heard of my sister?" ”

I suddenly remembered that day in the palace that I bumped into King Qi and King Xu leaving the palace together, and my heart suddenly understood.

She picked a card and threw it out, and said lightly: "How can a common man like me know about the affairs in the palace." ”

Gul followed up and also released one, "Also, the emperor has been doing this matter in a vague way, and if he didn't say it in the open, he was afraid that the matchmaking would not be successful and he would lose the good of the two governments." But now everyone in the court has a tacit understanding, in the past, the emperor always set up a banquet, or asked everyone to play polo or something, His Royal Highness King Qi has been finding all kinds of reasons not to go. But this time, King Qi had to participate. ”

Lizhan didn't speak, and when it was her turn to play the cards, she lost a card lightly.

Xiaoxi asked her, "Don't you want to hear the rest of the story without your sister?" ”

"And what about what's next?" Lizhan asked obediently.

Lin Zhi said: "His Royal Highness King Qi didn't tell you that it will be his birthday in three days?" ”

At this point, the calm and windless heartstrings trembled slightly. The hand of the card is tightened, and the foot of the card has an extra fold.

Lizhan listened to Gul interjected: "The emperor made fun of King Qi, saying that King Qi finally entered Beijing once, but he has been nesting in the mansion and has not seen anyone. But this time on his birthday, he won't hide it, and he won't even invite everyone to eat. King Qi promised to set up a banquet, and when the time came, he would not not invite the Liu family, since he invited the Liu family, although the two mansions had some misunderstandings because of the gift-giving before, Liu Yan must have go. ”

"That's it!" Xiaoxi was indignant, "Liu Yan is interested in King Qi. ”

Lizhan knew that Liu Yan was interested in King Qi, but how did these people see the clues? After all, Liu Yan is also the daughter of the Liu family, acting carefully and decisively, and never saying that he is out of line.

"Some things are spread by falsehood, and there is no shadow. I think Miss Liu has an arrogant temperament, and she doesn't seem to take the initiative to like people. ”

"Leaving my sister, you can't say that, how can King Qi be compared with other men? You don't know, when the East Palace was selected for the first time, Liu Yan went. But this second time, she excused herself from being sick and didn't go. ”

"I blame me for this matter, the matter of the eldest son of the Liu family has exhausted the Liu family, and Liu Yanxu is ...... because of his retirement."

"She fell because of this, she just relied on the emperor's matchmaking to say that she couldn't go sick. As usual, when she was sick with a girl, she asked the imperial doctor in the palace to examine it, but she said it casually that day, and the imperial doctor in the palace did not inspect it, and it was not all in accordance with the emperor's wishes. ”

"That's it, anyway, you can be careful of the Liu family when you leave my sister. Their family has two daughters, one is already married to King Xu, and if the other is married to King Qi, the limelight may not be worse than the Bai family! These people are masters, and they all want to be a little higher, and her father can sit in the position of Liu Shangshu, and he must also be a person who drills the camp. ”

"That's right!"

A few people opened their mouths to make sense, but it was not all unreasonable.

Lizhan was in an awkward situation, and he didn't know how to respond, so he just said: "What am I wary of, I'm just a doctor." ”

"What's wrong with the doctor? The Liu family is honest, even if you let King Qi go back to the Western Regions to marry a woman from the Western Regions, it is better than letting Liu Yan be the main palace. Leave my sister, or on the day of His Highness's birthday, you should also go. ”

Lizhan poured the cards in his hand again, "The people who went were all officials in the court, I didn't receive the post, how embarrassed to be cheeky to come to the door, if you were stopped at the door, it wouldn't look good." ”

"Then you go with us! Your Highness's post is not all posted by one person, and I can take the post with my sister. Let's see what the young lady of the Liu family is going to do at the banquet! ”

"Me too."

It was a little difficult to ride a tiger from the lamp, and he opened his mouth and said something in his heart: "That's not what he said, if he wants me to go, he will tell me." They didn't tell me, and most of them didn't want me to participate. ”
