Chapter 239: Hold this token as if I were here
Seeing that Song Lingyue was still saluting, Honggu also breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned to the maid and magpie on the side to bring the tea over.
Song Lingyue took the teacup from the tray and raised it respectfully on her eyebrows: "Please use the tea." ”
"Good!" Old Madam Song smiled and took a sip of the teacup, and the wrinkles on her face were stretched out at this time, "Son, get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”
Putting the teacup on the table, Mrs. Song reached out to help Song Lingyue up, and the red girl and magpie on the side were also busy helping to help.
"Congratulations to the old lady for her daughter." With the singing of Honggu, the slaves and maids outside the door of the hall knelt on the ground, all congratulating Mrs. Song on her joy.
"I don't have anything to give as a brother, so I'll give this to you." Song Xuanran took out a token made of pure gold from his arms, with a small Song character engraved on it, and a pattern of flowers blooming and wealth carved on the back.
"As long as you hold this token, going to any store under my Song name is like me coming in person, and you can mobilize the materials in the store, finances and manpower are not a problem."
As soon as these words came out, except for Old Madam Song, everyone else was stunned.
Song Xuanran's flower workshops are almost all over Daxia, in addition to the flower industry, there are also other industries, with strong financial strength, and there are tens of thousands of people under his name.
You can imagine how high the gold content of this gold medal is.
Song Lingyue bit her lower lip, with a hint of hesitation on her face, and glanced at the old lady Song on the side in embarrassment.
"Son, take it, this is your brother's heart for you." Old Madam Song spoke happily.
"Then, my sister will accept it, thank you, Brother Xuanran." Song Lingyue stretched out her hand and took the token, and the heavy token was held in the palm of her hand, bringing a burst of coldness.
"Auntie hug!" Song Yanyan, who didn't get attention, was dissatisfied, and came to Song Lingyue with her little short legs, and opened her arms to ask Song Lingyue to hug her.
"It's supposed to be called Auntie now." Song Lingyue bent down and picked up Song Yanyan.
"Goo-goo?" Song Yanyan's teeth haven't opened yet, and she can't say the word aunt, which sounds like 'goo'.
"It's not 'Goo', it's Auntie." Song Lingyue patiently corrected Song Yanyan's pronunciation.
"Auntie?" Song Yanyan tilted her head to look at Song Lingyue, as if she was asking if she was right.
Song Lingyue smiled:
"Well, by the way, Yeon-yeon is so smart."
Song Lingyue teased Song Yanyan, causing Song Yanyan to let out bursts of laughter like silver bells.
Song Xuanran looked at this scene, his thin lips barely curled, but with a hint of bitterness.
Song Lingyue and his entourage lived in the Song Mansion for three more days, and it was not until the Dragon Boat Festival passed that they had to say goodbye to Mrs. Song.
Although there was a lot of reluctance to send the old man, he also knew that Song Lingyue was still opening a medical hall, and it was impossible to accompany her in the Song Mansion all the time, so he could only reluctantly send Song Lingyue to the door.
"If my godmother is free, why don't you come to my house as a guest? Although it is not as luxurious as Brother Xuanran, it is also very warm and comfortable. Before leaving, Song Lingyue sent an invitation to Mrs. Song.
"That's good, what's the point of this big house being empty, it's not popular." Old Madam Song was full of disgust for the mansion of the Song Mansion, which caused Song Lingyue to hide her lips and snicker.
Bidding farewell to Mrs. Song, Song Lingyue and her party returned to the small courtyard of Shuangcha Lane.
I thought that everyone would be uncomfortable with living in the big house of Song Mansion in the past few days, but I didn't expect that not only did they not get used to it, but they also missed this warm little courtyard.
Even Song Yanzhi, who worried Song Lingyue the most, said: "Although the room in the Song Mansion is very large and spacious, I still like it here, it is comfortable and comfortable." ”
"As the old saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own nest." Song Lingyue also laughed.
"It's back, I thought you were planning to stay in Song Mansion for ten days and half a month!" Aunt Li, who knew that they were coming back today, and Gu Langzhong cleaned up the room together and were about to prepare lunch when they heard a sound outside the door.
When she opened the door, she saw that Song Lingyue and her party were outside, and Aunt Li immediately had a smile on her face.
Xiangling broke free from Song Lingyue's embrace and plunged into Aunt Li's arms, "Mother, I miss you so much." ”
Aunt Li touched Xiangling's little face, looked left and right, and nodded reassuringly when she saw that she was not emaciated, "I haven't seen it for a few days, but it looks like I've grown taller." ”
Xiangling was tired of Aunt Li's arms, telling Aunt Li interesting things in the Song Mansion, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and no one could bear to spoil the warmth of this moment.
Song Lingyue touched her nose and instructed Qi Mo and Liu Liang to unload the luggage on the carriage and place it in a centralized manner.
Before leaving, Song Xuanran learned that Song Lingyue was afraid of heat, so he specially asked Song Shui to pull a cart of saltpeter over, and said that if the saltpeter ran out, he just went to the market and said to the guys in the shop and sent it to them.
Liu Liang also knew how to make saltpeter ice, so Song Lingyue handed over this matter to Liu Liang.
There is also a cellar in the backyard, which can be used to store vegetables such as cabbage and radishes in winter, but now it is empty, and the ice cubes can be stored there.
However, Song Lingyue was afraid that it would not be successful, so she asked Liu Liang to make some crushed ice cubes with a small amount of saltpeter first, and then asked Aunt Li to boil some sour plum soup to dry, just waiting for the ice cubes to come out and drink a cup of cold sour plum soup.
Taking advantage of her free time, Song Lingyue rearranged the room and sweated all over, but fortunately, there was good news from Liu Liang's saltpeter ice.
The first crushed ice was sent directly to the kitchen, poured into a copper basin, and chilled the sour plum soup that had been smashed into the copper kettle.
Song Lingyue stretched her waist and curled up on the chaise longue under the grape trellis, the branches of the grapevines blocked the sunlight, bringing a touch of coolness, Song Lingyue closed her eyes with satisfaction.
However, she hadn't enjoyed a moment of peace, but when she opened her eyes, Gu Langzhong stood in front of her quietly, so she almost didn't scare Song Lingyue half to death.
"Ancient, you don't have anything to do and don't rest in the house, what are you doing here?" Song Lingyue looked up at Gu Langzhong suspiciously.
Gu Langzhong smiled and pointed to the chair under Song Lingyue, "In the past few days since you were away, this has become my special seat." ”
Okay, I dared to ask her for a chair.
"Yes, then I'll let you sit down." Song Lingyue got up and asked Gu Langzhong to sit.
Gu Langzhong was not polite, touching his beard and lying on the rocking chair, leisurely.
"Then you always enjoy it, I'll go back to the house." Song Lingyue really didn't have a problem with this old man, and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Gu Langzhong called Song Lingyue.
"What's the matter with you?" Song Lingyue turned back and looked at Gu Langzhong. "Is it hot? Are you thirsty? Do you need a fan or a bowl of sour plum soup? ”
"Everything, everything." Gu Langzhong's eyes narrowed, and he looked like an old god was there.
Song Lingyue snorted, went to the kitchen and brought Gu Langzhong a bowl of sour plum soup, and took the folding fan back.
"Stinky old man, the sour plum soup you want." Song Lingyue handed the chilled sour plum soup to Gu Langzhong, and went to the folding fan to fan it one by one.
"When did you become considerate of me, an old man?" Gu Langzhong took a sip of sour plum soup and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
"For the sake of your hard work in the past few days, I just thank you!" Song Lingyue glanced at Gu Langzhong, shook the folding fan, and sent it to the gentle breeze.
"Hard mouth and soft heart." Gu Langzhong snorted, drank the sour plum soup, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"By the way, after you left, a pharmacist surnamed Li came to you." Gu Langzhong put the empty bowl in his hand aside, raised his hand to wipe the water stains at the corner of his lips.
"A pharmacist surnamed Li? Who? Song Lingyue looked confused, "I don't know any medicine merchant surnamed Li." ”
"The pharmacist said that he came from Jinling, passed through Jizhou Mansion, heard the thing of Wengan plaster from the streets and alleys, and found Baoning Hall after several inquiries." Gu Langzhong's explanation was clear in three words, and he paused and said:
"This Li pharmacist said that he wanted to ask Baoningtang to buy a batch of warm plasters and send them to Jinling to sell."
"Oh," Song Lingyue nodded understandingly, "Yes, I don't know how much he needs, have you asked?" ”
"He said he wanted at least that." Gu Langzhong raised a straight finger.
"A hundred? That's not easy, the stock in the library is enough for him. Song Ling Yue said nonchalantly, "It's just a hundred plasters that you still need to tell me?" Wouldn't it be nice if you made your own decisions? ”
"If it's a hundred, of course I'll be in charge, he wants 10,000!" Gu Langzhong glanced at Song Lingyue angrily.
"How many are you talking about?" Song Lingyue's eyes widened, and she wondered if she had auditory hallucinations just now.
"Ten thousand!" Gu Langzhong repeated the number, "I was as surprised as you were at the time, and I confirmed it with him three times, and he said that he wanted 10,000 sheets. ”
"Ten thousand? Isn't that five hundred taels of silver? Song Lingyue was shocked, this is still the first big business that Boringtang has received since its opening.
"Well, he also said that if the plaster sells well, he will order it from us for a long time in the future." Gu Langzhong had a calm face, a feeling that he didn't put five hundred taels of silver in his eyes.
"And what about the Li Medicine Merchant?" Song Lingyue rubbed her fingers, if she could cooperate with this Li Pharmaceutical Merchant, she only said that she would sell 10,000 Wengan medicine patches every month, and the stable income of this medical hall would exceed four hundred taels of silver every month.
Song Lingyue only felt that she was now dropping silver ingots in her head, and she was about to drool happily.
In the next second, Gu Langzhong's words instantly woke up Song Lingyue from a dream:
"I told him that the shopkeeper went out to play, and I was afraid that it would take ten days and half a month to come back, so let him wait for a while, and when the shopkeeper came back, I would naturally notify him."
"Then why didn't you send someone to call me back sooner?! That's a big deal of five hundred taels of silver! Song Lingyue regretted it so much, if she knew that she would come to such a big business after she left, Song Lingyue would not go to Song Mansion if she said anything.
"Why are you in a hurry! At first glance, it doesn't know how to do business. Gu Langzhong snatched back the folding fan in Song Lingyue's hand, "He is begging us to sell him the plaster now, he is the one who should be in a hurry, what does it matter if he waits for two days." ”
"What if he's gone? 10,000 plasters! What a business! Song Lingyue sighed, if it weren't for Gu Langzhong's old age, she shook Gu Langzhong's shoulder and asked him why he just let go of the good money-making opportunity.
