Chapter 256: Taking the Initiative?

"Miss, don't say that, the slave knows that the young lady is just in a hurry, not intentionally, and it is also the slave's fault, and she didn't notice that the young lady got up and injured the young lady."

Bai Lan knelt down suddenly, and carefully apologized to Li Fangrui, her originally pretty face had been fanned and her cheeks were red, which was much more miserable than Li Fangrui, whose earlobes were broken.

Seeing that Li Fangrui's face had eased, Bai Lan slowly got up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her vocal cords were still a little choked:

"Miss, let the slave give you some medicine."

Li Fangrui snorted, Bai Lan hurriedly took out the red sandalwood box from the dresser, went to the white jade to relieve pain, dipped it in fine gauze, and carefully applied medicine to Li Fangrui's earlobe.

"Fortunately, the wound is not very deep, and with Doctor Hu in charge, I believe that Miss's wound will heal soon."

"You go get the medicine too." Li Fangrui waved her hand to drive Bai Lan back, Bai Lan was just about to retire, Li Fangrui hurriedly stopped her again:

"Wait a minute, you call Huai'an up, I have something to ask him."

"Yes, miss." Bai Lan bowed and withdrew.

However, after half a pillar of incense, Huai'an, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came to the outside of the wing.

"Huai'an, come in." Seeing a figure shaking outside the door, Li Fangrui in the room called Huai'an in.

Huai'an entered the house and hurriedly saluted Li Fangrui, "I don't know what happened to Miss calling the slaves?" ”

Huai'an saw that Li Fangrui's earlobe was injured, and hurriedly said, "How can Miss get injured, is it serious?" ”

"Out of the way. Didn't you secretly check the situation of Boryeongdo recently? Tell me about it. Li Fangrui put aside the tea in her hand and motioned for Huai'an to come over.

"Miss ordered the slave to secretly check the situation of the Boryeong Hall, and the slave has been lurking near the Boryeong Hall these days, secretly watching.

"The slave knows that Baoning Hall has always been a strong rival of our Ci'an Tang, and Miss hopes to attract the people of Jizhou Mansion with preferential prices, so that our Ci'an Tang can gain a firm foothold in Jizhou Mansion.

"This should have been a good plan, but the slave has only been watching it for a long time, and Bao Ningtang doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, I'm afraid that he has made a lot of money accumulated before, so he will wait for our two-month promotion to pass, and then fight with us."

"I expected it to be the same!" Li Fangrui's eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a sneer, "But it doesn't matter, she only came to Jizhou three months before me, how much money can she make?" I don't believe that after half a year, she will be safe and sound. ”

Huai'an worried: "However, in this half month of promotion, most of the medicinal materials in the inventory have been sold, and if the rest is at this rate, I am afraid that it can be supplied for another half a month, and I can only buy new drugs to maintain it." ”

Li Fangrui snorted coldly and sneered:

"Then why not! As long as I can crush Boryeongdo, even if I scatter all my wealth, I am willing! I want to see if I have lost the economic source of Baoningtang, what ability does Song Lingyue have to show off her might! ”

"Yes, the slave understands, then tomorrow the slave will go to the nearby county town to ask if there are any medicinal materials that can be purchased." Huai'an's brain turned extremely fast, which is why Li Fangrui took him to Jizhou Mansion.

Li Fangrui pursed her lips and smiled, "When the Baoning Hall is crushed, I promise you, and you will be the shopkeeper of Ci'an Hall." ”

Huai'an's brows twitched, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his voice trembled slightly: "Yes, the slave must do his best for Miss." ”

***

Time flies like flowing water, and more than a month and a half have passed in the blink of an eye.

Song Lingyue sat on the recliner and watched the vines under the corridor go from hanging with a lot of fruits to the current vines withering and yellow.

It has already begun autumn, and the scorching heat still has residual warmth, but there is already a thin cold in the morning and evening.

"And in the courtyard look at the withered vines? I see that you haven't done anything else for a month and a half, just doing it under this vine in a daze. Qi Mo held a thin brocade shawl in his hand and put it on Song Lingyue.

Song Lingyue only felt a warmth on her shoulders, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Qi Mo, and said with a smile: "Are you back?" Is the workshop on Willow Street okay? Workers aren't lazy anymore, are they? ”

Qi Mo raised his eyebrows and said: "According to what you said, take out those lazy workers, terminate the employment contract with them, and drive them out, I believe those workers should not dare to cheat and play tricks anymore." ”

"You do something, I don't worry." Song Lingyue smiled slightly, picked up the grapes on the jade plate, and asked Qi Mo, "Do you want to eat?" The last bunch of grapes is over, and if you want to eat it again, I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year. ”

"You're really at ease." Qi Mo was not polite to Song Lingyue, he picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste overflowed his mouth.

"So what else can I do? In the past two months, no patient from Boringtang came to the door, and finally one came to see the doctor, but before he reached the door, he was invited away by the servant hired by Ci'an Tang. ”

Song Lingyue looked a little depressed, but soon cheered up again:

"You reminded me that the two-month period is over, and the preferential period of Tzu An Tang has arrived! Let Gu Langzhong rest and recuperate, and prepare to open tomorrow to welcome patients. ”

"Do you still need to say it? Gu Langzhong has been seeing that the medical hall has not been open for the past two months, and he can't wait to go out to be a tour of Fang Langzhong. Now that the time of two months has passed, I see that Gu Langzhong has to bathe in incense tonight to welcome tomorrow's opening. ”

Qi Mo joked, but it also made Song Lingyue can't help but giggle.

"Is it as exaggerated as you say? I don't have to be busy in the hospital for these two months, I just think it's a holiday, how good! Song Lingyue shook her shoulders with a relaxed expression.

Qi Mo easily debunked Song Lingyue's disguise:

"What you said is easy, but I heard Lingyue and them say, you are afraid that the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion will be trendy, so I specially take the opportunity to use them as teaching aids every night by tutoring them in the kung fu of cognitive degrees."

Song Lingyue wrinkled her nose and drank all the hot tea on the table: "Aren't I afraid of starting work again?" Besides, I'm done practicing, don't I let them practice with each other? ”

Qi Mo said angrily:

"What else do you say? That day, you pierced Xiangling's face full of silver needles, and you asked her to tie it to Song Yi, but she was seen by Aunt Li who was passing by, and she saw that Xiangling's face was pierced like a hedgehog, and she almost fainted with fright. ”

Song Lingyue snickered and stuck out her tongue at Qi Mo:

"Didn't Xiangling explain it all later? Aunt Li later said that this kind of practice has quick results, and it is better than practicing directly on the patient and then stabbing the patient. ”

"Okay, you're justified left and right." Qi Mo swallowed the last grape into his mouth.

"Oh no, no! Master is not good! Xiangling pushed open the courtyard door in a panic and shouted Song Lingyue's name at a trot.

Song Lingyue heard the sound and beckoned to Xiangling: "Xiangling, I'm here." ”

Xiangling ran to Song Lingyue, her face was flushed, and Song Lingyue hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help Xiangling wipe the sweat on her forehead.

"Don't panic in case of trouble, as long as you don't panic in anything, this matter is already half the success." Song Lingyue helped Xiangling wipe the sweat from her forehead while carefully teaching Xiangling.

Xiangling patted her chest and finally gasped: "There's no way not to worry!" Master, if you find out, you will be in a hurry. ”

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you go shopping at the market with Song Yi and the others? Why are you the only one, but what happened to them? ”

didn't see Song Yi and the others, and Song Lingyue was also a little uneasy in her heart.

"Sister Song Yi, they are just behind, it's just that I'm coming back first."

"Master, you don't know, when I came back, I passed by Ci'an Hall and found a notice posted in front of their store, I squeezed into the crowd to take a look, guess what I saw!"

"See what?" Song Lingyue was aroused by Xiangling's curiosity and hurriedly asked.

Xiangling recalled the words written on the notice and said word by word:

"The notice said that the proprietor was happy, in order to celebrate, so the store celebration was postponed for a month, and it was discounted on the basis of the original, saying that it was changed from the original 80% discount to 7% discount, and it was necessary to bring real benefits to the people of Jizhou Prefecture!"

"Seven percent off? This is almost the cost price of medicinal materials, which makes no money at all. ”

Qi Mo had been in charge of importing medicinal materials before, and he still had some understanding of the price of medicinal materials.

Qi Mo's eyes turned cold, exchanged glances with Song Lingyue, frowned, and said, "What does Li Fangrui want to do?" Is it trying to squeeze down Boryeongtang through this strategy of small profits and quick turnover? ”

Song Lingyue pursed the corners of her lips and lowered her head in contemplation, she couldn't see her thoughts at this time, but she also knew that her face didn't look very good.

It's no wonder that in the past two months, there has not been a single patient in Baoning Hall, not to mention Song Lingyue and Gu Langzhong, even Xiangling feels a pity.

Originally, it would be fine if the medical hall was a healthy competition, but this Ci'an Hall was clearly coming for Song Lingyue, and he wanted to crush Baoning Hall with all his heart.

Seeing that Song Lingyue didn't speak for a long time, Xiangling couldn't help but be more anxious, and said:

"Master, what can I do! In the past two months, there have been no one in our hospital to see the doctor, if Ci'an Tang makes such a preferential activity again, I am afraid that in the future, the people of Jizhou Mansion will only know Ci'an Tang and not know our Baoning Hall. ”

Qi Mo lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then said:

"If it really doesn't work, we can only reduce the price to compete with the other party, but I think the Ci'an Tang side must want us to make a price reduction to respond to their vicious competition."

"If it's just a price reduction for a while, then I'm not afraid." Song Lingyue calculated, she still has twenty acres of medicinal fields in her hands, and the medicinal materials planted are complex and diverse, but before she felt that those medicinal materials were not enough for a year and had not been harvested, if they were really harvested, it would not be a problem to supply them to the medicine store for a year and a half.

"It's just that it's just a drag to go on like this, so it's better to take the initiative." Song Lingyue's eyes flashed.

"Take the initiative?" Qi Mo raised his eyes, and a trace of curiosity crossed his eyes, "In such a situation, how can you take the initiative?" ”
