Because of the uneasiness in her heart, Song Lier did not go to Song Wanjing's house to listen to their inferences about the case this time. Instead, he ran to the Song family's medicine garden at the head of Heyang Village outside the city.

The herbs planted in the medicine garden are mainly put into the palace and then put into the Song family's own medical hall.

"Daddy"

There's an order from Lixue, and someone will come and take it today. Song Dingfeng had to go to the medicine garden early in the morning to count the herbs.

"Why are you here? Didn't you stay at home and leave these things alone for the time being? ”

The eldest lang and the second lang of the Song family didn't care about the family's medicine garden at all, but the little lady of the Song family was very interested in it. Song Dingfeng was also quite helpless.

"I'm bored at home, too, so I'll take a look." Song Li'er squatted down and looked at the jack pull in this piece, but it looked pretty good.

Song Dingfeng was about to say something, when he saw the person coming not far away, he sighed, and immediately changed to a smiling face to greet him: "Master Fang." ”

Song Li'er followed behind her, and when she saw that it was Fang Zicheng, she smiled slightly, blessed body.

"Song Jiaren, I'm here to get herbs." Fang Zicheng is the master of the Lishi School and the concubine of the imperial prince. He is personable and courteous.

Song Dingfeng instructed Song Lier to help him count first, and he took Fang Zicheng to the warehouse.

It was the old man of the Song family who stayed next to Song Li'er to help, and now he was doing chores in this medicine garden, helping out, and taking care of his life.

"Uncle Zhong, why is Fang Zicheng here from Etiquette?" Song Lier felt strange.

"Lixue has a list, saying that it is to prepare some herbs for the students." Zhong Bo Dao.

Song Lier remembered that there was no such thing in previous years. This sudden order means that there must be less stock in the palace at the end of the year. Song Dingfeng definitely had to go to the medicine garden in Bozhou. This time and again, it will be the end of the year.

The end of the year is the most chaotic, and Song Dingfeng generally avoids this juncture and goes out. This time it seems that there is no way to do it.

Song Dingfeng's herbs were prepared, and after Fang Zicheng took them away, he also urged Song Li'er to go back.

"If Little Lady Song doesn't mind, I can give you a ride." Fang Zicheng was still equipping people with medicinal herbs, and when he heard Song Dingfeng's words urging Song Li'er, he opened his mouth.

"Then it's troublesome Master Fang." Song Dingfeng directly agreed for Song Li'er and helped her into the carriage. He still trusts Fang Zicheng's personality very much, after all, he is the master of etiquette.

Speaking of this, Song Lier is not good to refuse again. When he arrived at Xie, he entered Fang Zicheng's carriage.

The room is exquisitely arranged, with heavy white fur on the seats, three or two books of etiquette placed in one corner, and a small round table next to it, on which are placed some small snacks, a pot of warm tea and a small incense burner. Fang Zicheng was wearing a dark brown robe with a white robe inside, sitting in a corner, which reminded Song Lier of the handsome scholar in the book.

Fang Zicheng handed Song Li'er a stove: "If it's cold, you can hold this." ”

The stove is small, but delicate, with a hollowed-out water lily on top: "Thank you, I'm not cold." ”

It is rare for the capital to have a single snow throughout the year, and the temperature is not as low as anywhere else. Even though it is now winter, Song Lier's short jacket is almost the same.

Fang Zicheng smiled apologetically: "I forgot, it's because my body is not very good, so I usually wear more." ”

Song Lier has also heard of this. Fang Zicheng was born with a sick seedling, so he always smelled of herbs. But for a person who often deals with medicinal herbs, he is also used to it.

"Is there a calming herb in your incense burner?" Song Lier smelled it and felt very good, a faint fragrance, which made people's hearts calm down.

"Guess what." Fang Zicheng poured a cup of tea for Song Li'er, and pushed the dim sum in front of her: "This is what the chef just cooked, and now I taste it and it is estimated that there is still some residual warmth." ”

Song Li'er was also not polite, and took a piece before putting it in her mouth. The fragrance of mung beans immediately bloomed in the mouth: "It's delicious." ”

Fang Zicheng smiled: "If it's delicious, eat more." If you want to eat it on a weekday, tell me and I'll have someone make it for you. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" But Song Li'er really didn't see that she was embarrassed by her movements, so she continued to take a piece and stuffed it into her mouth before she said: "Cocoon, tulip root, grass and cypress branches, amber." ”

Fang Zicheng leaned on the corner of the carriage and tried to make himself comfortable: "Guessed right." ”

Song Lier is still very confident in her ability to guess medicinal herbs: "I often deal with them, and if I smell more, I will know." ”

"Like me, I can't remember, you look at my books, I read them many times before I can barely remember them." Fang Zicheng added another cup of tea to Song Li'er: "Did you taste anything just now?" ”

"Licorice, lily."

The two talked happily all the way, and Fang Zicheng sent Song Lier to the door of the Song Mansion.

"Thank you." Song Li'er jumped out of the carriage and thanked Fang Zicheng.

Fang Zicheng leaned out half of his body: "I watched you go in." ”

"You're not feeling well, go back quickly." Song Li'er's face was a little pale, lest he faint now.

"Okay." Fang Zicheng smiled warmly and went back to the car. It turned out that she already knew that she was uncomfortable, so was she distracting herself all the way?

Sensing that something was about to overflow in his mouth, Fang Zicheng hurriedly took out the handkerchief. A mouthful of blood.

Fang Zicheng sat weakly on the ground and sneered: "Fang Zicheng, what can you be greedy?" ”

Song Li'er returned to the Song Mansion, and Jiang Zhu and Chen Xueqing had already left. Song Wanjing was limping for a walk in the yard.

"Where have you been?" Song Wanjing didn't see Song Li'er for an afternoon, and she was a little puzzled.

"Went to the medicine garden." Song Li'er looked at Song Wanjing's face, knowing that Song Wanjing didn't know that she had sold him: "Lixue has placed an order, and Daddy has to go to Bozhou." ”

"This time and again, it will not be the end of the year. Out of stock in the shop? Song Wanjing was also annoyed, but she really didn't seem to be the one who was in business.

"Those can't be used to top up. Those in the palace are carefully selected from the best products. Fortunately, this year in the palace will be later. Song Lier helped Song Wanjing and walked slowly with him.

"A-Niang, over there" Song Dingfeng has always taken the Li family with him wherever he goes, and I'm afraid he won't bring it this time.

"Daddy will take care of it himself." Song Li'er can't help with this. Looking at Li's current state, he shouldn't know about this matter, if she opened her mouth first, Song Dingfeng would definitely have to take her to the knife first: "I'll deal with other things, as for you, since you don't have this ability, don't worry about it." ”

"Stinky girl" Song Wanjing of course knew that Song Lier was comforting, but couldn't she say it well?

"By the way, how is the case today?" Song Lier was still worried in her heart.

Song Wanjing glanced at her: "Don't think about this if you don't have this brain." ”

returned Song Li'er's words as they were.

Song Li'er kicked Song Wanjing's injured foot unceremoniously: "Second brother, Daddy is going out, and the account book at home will be in my hands, you said that if I add something casually." What do you think Daddy will do to you? ”

"Song Li'er, you are amazing." Song Wanjing gritted her teeth and jumped straight up with her feet covered. I was angry in my heart, why did I just have a momentary anger and quarrel with Song Lier?

"So, second brother, sometimes you have to be a little affectionate when you speak, especially a person who can control the financial power." Song Li'er gently put Song Wanjing a little, if it weren't for Ah Cai in the back, Song Wanjing would have fallen to the ground.

At night, Song Lier and Song Wanjing had a tacit understanding and did not disturb Song Dingfeng and Li Shi.

"Do you think Daddy will be kicked out by his mother."

The two had already chosen the best location and hid in the small bamboo forest in Li's yard. First, it is convenient for peeping, and second, it is also convenient for escape.

"I bet." Song Lier took out a tael of silver from her purse.

Song Wanjing was a step slower, and she could only take out one or two bets from He He's purse.

"Why hasn't there been any movement at all."

The last time Song Dingfeng couldn't take Li Shi when he went out, Song Lier remembered that Song Dingfeng was kicked out before he finished a meal. Could it be that Song Dingfeng has learned any methods?

Song Wanjing also wondered, seeing that the meal was about to be finished, the two of them still seemed to be talking and laughing.

"Wait, why did they fall, why did the lights go out?"

Song Wanjing secretly screamed badly, covered Song Lier's eyes, and dragged the person outside with a limp.

"Why are you dragging me out? What if A-Niang knocks Daddy unconscious with an oil lamp? Song Li'er wanted to go in and see what was going on.

Song Wanjing coughed twice in embarrassment, how to explain this?

"Go back to the yard, Daddy has already persuaded Grandma."

"Liar, how could Daddy coax Auntie well. Are you out of money and want to cheat me? "She's so easy to deceive? Even if Song Wanjing is stupid.

"They're on the job." Song Wanjing muttered quickly in a low voice.

"What?" Song Li'er didn't hear a word clearly.

"Go back, what's there to see. Give you all the money. Song Wanjing stuffed all the money into Song Lier's hands and limped away. Leaving Song Li'er with an inexplicable face.

When Song Li'er heard the faint murmur coming from the house, she understood what Song Wanjing meant, and hurriedly ran away.

So much so that the next day when facing Li Shi and Song Dingfeng, they were a little embarrassed.

"Daddy, Auntie, I'm leaving." Song Lier grabbed two buns and stuffed them indiscriminately into herself, drank half a bowl of porridge, and left the house with Xiguo.

"This kid." Li Shi shook his head.

Before going to bed yesterday evening, Song Dingfeng came to Song Li'er's yard and instructed her to count the goods and account books of the shop, and let the shops that had not yet received the new herbs get some from other shops for the time being.

Song Lier followed Song Dingfeng behind her in previous years, but this time she was alone, and she was a little excited.
