Chapter 69: Zhou Feng's Stone-throwing Asking for Directions
"How long will it take to prepare the antidote to the prince's poison?" The woman asked anxiously.
"The old man doesn't know, maybe it's ten days and half a month, maybe it's a year, or maybe it's three years and five years!" ”
"Perhaps, or, the poison doctor, you mean that the emperor of this palace can only lie in bed like a living dead from now on? Mongolian poison doctor, you are a world-famous poison doctor, this palace limits you to prepare an antidote within ten days! The woman was very displeased.
"Back to Niangniang, the old man is really powerless!" The poison doctor bent over and clenched his fists and said helplessly.
"This palace doesn't care, as long as the emperor of this palace wakes up, if you can't do it, this palace wants you to bury the son of this palace!" The woman was already furious.
"Mother's life!" The poison doctor knelt down.
"Mother, this poisonous doctor can't kill you!" At this time, Long Lingyu's cronies stopped, "If you kill the Meng poison doctor, who will solve the poison of the prince?"
Also, this poisonous doctor is the most important person of the prince, if Niangniang kills the prince when he is unconscious, Niangniang is not afraid that the prince will be unhappy when he wakes up? ”
Thinking that her son had been estranged from her for nearly a year, the woman finally did not dare to kill the Mongolian poison doctor, but looked at the Mongolian poison doctor who was kneeling on the ground
"Poison doctor, you detoxify the prince as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Although the prince is not very kind to this lady, this lady is the prince's mother after all, so the poison doctor is still respectful to her.

Lujia Village, Lu Family
Looking at Lu Ziyun, who came back from the dust, Lu Ziqing quipped
"Second sister, where have you traveled? Did you buy some gifts for the big guys? ”
"yes!" Lu Zixiao and the others stood beside Lu Ziqing and echoed.
"Don't worry, I have prepared a gift for you, look, I bought meat in Fucheng today, so eat meat tonight!" Lu Ziyun carried two catties of meat tied with straw rope.
"Second sister, you're too stingy! I only bought two catties of meat. These days, Lu Ziqing often goes to Fucheng, and the meat at home is available every day, so Lu Ziyi also quipped.
Lu Ziyun handed the meat in her hand to the Hu family who came over, looked at Lu Ziyi and quipped
"Fifth brother, you've learned badly!" After saying that, I remembered something
"Fifth brother, didn't you and Brother Changfeng go to collect medicinal herbs? Why are you at home at this time? ”
Lu Ziyi: "Second sister, this week's family compound is determined to grab medicinal materials from our family, so after I went to collect medicinal materials, they raised the price again the next day, for the sake of the future, so I didn't increase the price."
So I received it for three days, and I didn't receive the medicinal materials, this morning, Qing'er said that she wouldn't accept the medicinal materials! After this month, I will collect it at the original price! ”
"Hmm." Lu Ziyun responded, "I've been on the road for a few days, and I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room to rest first, and at dinner, Ziqing called me!" ”
Looking at Lu Ziyun, who returned to the room after speaking, Lu Ziqing shrugged and said
"Let's go back to work!"
……
In the evening, the Zhou family compound
"Are you saying that the Lu family didn't go to collect medicinal herbs today?" Zhou Feng thought he had misheard, so he asked again.
"Back to the master, yes!" Steward Zhou bent down and replied respectfully.
Zhou Feng: "Steward Zhou, did their Lu family go to other villages to collect it?" ”
Steward Zhou: "I heard from those stewards who went to collect medicinal materials with Zhou Yun that the Lu family did not collect medicinal materials, and even the five families of Uncle Fu before did not dig medicinal materials these days.
These five families, in addition to taking care of the fields every day, stay at home the rest of the time, and they don't know what's going on! ”
"The Lu family doesn't accept medicinal herbs anymore, and even Lu Fu's five families don't dig medicinal herbs anymore?" Zhou Feng couldn't figure it out.
Steward Zhou: "Yes, sir!" ”
Zhou Rong looked at Zhou Feng and asked suspiciously
"Dad, the Lu family can't receive medicinal materials, so they don't accept it, and they said in the past, why didn't Lu Fu's five families dig up medicinal materials? Could it be that they don't want to dig up our Zhou family compound? ”
Zhou Feng couldn't figure it out either, so he looked at Steward Zhou and ordered
"Steward Zhou, no matter whether the Lu family accepts medicinal materials tomorrow or not, you will order to go down and let Zhou Yun be the steward of the medicinal materials and lower the purchase price.
Like knotweed: three catties for one penny raw, plantain: two pennies and three catties, and more expensive medicinal materials like half-branch lotus and three white grass: all of them are reduced to three pennies and two catties.
Anyway, it would be good to let those villagers who dig medicinal herbs earn a maximum of forty or fifty yuan a day, after all, short-term workers only earn twenty to thirty yuan a day.
If they can earn forty-five dollars a day, they should be smiling secretly! ”
Zhou Rong stopped, "Dad, didn't you let those villagers who dig up medicinal materials sell all the medicinal materials to the Lu family?" ”
Zhou Feng "Rong'er, this is called: throwing stones and asking for directions!"
Since we don't know what tricks their Lu family is playing, then I'll send him a big piece of meat to see if he eats it or not. ”
After Zhou Feng finished speaking to Zhou Rong, he looked at Steward Zhou and waved
"Go ahead and arrange it!"
……
In the evening, Lu's house
Because the farming was busy, Lu Zizhong, who was studying in the town academy, also came back, looking at the food at home, he looked at the old man Lu and said
"Grandpa, you don't have to buy meat at home because I'm back!"
Old man Lu's biggest preference is to smoke hookah and drink some wine before meals, because the family wants to send a few grandchildren to study, so he tries not to drink alcohol except for smoking hookah.
The family made some small money, Lu Ziqing specially bought a good daughter on the altar to honor Old Man Lu, Old Man Lu is usually reluctant to drink, and today when the eldest grandson came back, he specially took it out to celebrate, so he poured wine for Mu Zijian
"Zhong'er, today's meat is not because you came back to buy it, but because the family made some money......!" Old man Lu told Lu Ziqing about Lu Ziqing's business at home.
"So, the Zhou family compound has already robbed the business of medicinal materials?" Lu Zizhong said with a frown.
"It's not..." Lu Linjiang also touched Old Man Lu's light, and took a sip of the high-grade daughter red, as if opening the chatterbox
"Fortunately, Yun'er and Qing'er have come up with other ways to make money, otherwise our family would have to be cornered by the Zhou family's compound!"
After listening to Lu Linjiang's words, Lu Zizhong looked at Lu Ziyun at the women's table and asked
"Ziyun, when will you start business?"
"Let's hit it right!" Lu Ziyun didn't care about the answer.
When Lu Ziyun said this, Lu Zizhong didn't know what to say, but looked at Mu Zijian and asked
"Brother Mu, where are you?"
"People from the capital!" Mu Zijian took a sip of wine and replied.
"How did you come to this poor country of ours?" Lu Zizhong didn't believe that Mu Zijian was an ordinary scholar.
"Chased and killed by mountain bandits, fell into the river, rushed here, and was rescued by Qing'er!" Mu Zijian said according to Lu Ziqing's words.
Lu Zizhong said meaningfully: "This coincidence is like artificial!" ”
"By the way, what is there in the Lu family that is worth my painstaking efforts?" Mu Zijian shot back.
