Xiao Ling'er doesn't have any small fights with Mei Yongxin, she wants to go out, and as soon as she gets out of the horse, it will naturally be a big move.

But a simple sentence, just like a *, instantly exploded in the hall, and everyone had an expression on their faces that they suspected that their ears had grass and heard it wrong, and Mei Yongxin was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop, and he didn't react at all.

Except, of course, for Mei Chengan.

He sat quietly on the side, his fingers on the chair arm and a slight nod, the corners of his lips curled.

All along, he has been doing many things himself, and he has long been used to it. But I didn't expect to find that now I found that it seems that the feeling of watching Mrs. stand out for herself is actually very good.

The old lady almost didn't sit still, either, "What's going on?" ā€

Xiao Ling'er was not in a hurry, and bowed her body to Mrs. Mei and the few people present, "Xiao Ling'er, the concubine of the Mei family, has seen the old lady, the young master Yongxin, and the shopkeepers. ā€

"Are you really the concubine of the Mei family?"

"Old lady, the eldest young master's concubine, why, don't even you know?"

Of course she wouldn't care, there were too many things in the Mei family, just a woman from a low background, and her parents could casually sell her daughter for money, and she was sent away the next day after entering the Mei family. Now that more than two years have passed, for the sake of Cheng'an, no one in the Mei family has ever mentioned it, and Mrs. Mei is naturally not impressed.

Although Mrs. Mei is a benevolent person, rich families always have deep-rooted thoughts of rich people, and Xiao Ling'er does not complain about her. On the contrary, if you want to get along with people in the future, you still have to give the steps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is also a long story, when I married into the Mei family, I was seriously ill, and it was not suitable to see people, let alone lively, for my body, the Mei family sent me to the countryside to recuperate. After all, the old lady is old, and I am afraid that my condition will affect her and it is not suitable for her to see her, so the old lady did not recognize me. Now that more than two years have passed, and all the illnesses on my body have been cured, I dare to come to the old lady to fulfill my filial piety. ā€

Mrs. Mei is not completely confused, but after Xiao Ling'er said this, she finally understood why she came out with the words "her own family".

More than two years ago, she did ask Cheng'an for a family affair, and it seemed that her surname was Xiao.

But at that time, Cheng'an's illness was urgent, and his relatives were also in a hurry, and the people in the house took care of Cheng'an's illness, and no one took care of such a concubine.

What's more, she also felt in her heart that the parents of such a woman from a small family were already that bad, and she might not be able to get on the stage. If it weren't for the sake of saving Cheng'an, and they were compatible, she wouldn't have used this kind of strategy.

At that time, I was afraid that Cheng An would lose his temper when he woke up, so he sent him to the countryside the next day, and only sent some money on time, and after that, he naturally no longer cared about the news on that side.

But who would have thought that after two years, this little concubine would be brought back to the Mei family by Cheng'an.

Thinking of this, the old lady's expression eased a lot.

Although there were some surprises and a little prejudice, but in the face of what she said just now, at least the first impression of this woman was not bad.

If it is really as they say, she is already the shopkeeper of the Tang County Medicinal Restaurant at a young age, and she can find a way to solve the urgent needs of the Mei family, and she knows that she will find a step from her own position so as not to let others in the hall gossip.

After a while, the old lady was really curious about this little girl.

Sure enough, the people on the side listened to Xiao Ling'er's words and were also relieved.

"I see, no wonder the old lady didn't recognize it at first sight."

"I really didn't expect it, the shopkeeper Xiao of the Medicine Canteen Hall is actually Young Master Mei's aunt's wife, and it is really a family, the eldest young master is a first-class businessman, and even his aunt's wife is also a good hand."

Only Mei Yongxin still couldn't believe it, and his fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves.

Fuck it! Thousands of calculations, why didn't you count this stubble!

Xiao Ling'er is actually ...... It's actually Mei Chengan's concubine?

At the beginning, he sent someone to follow her, but he only found Mu Shishi's pharmacy and it was gone. Later, he made a deal with her, thinking that this woman was just going to make a name for herself in the medicine canteen, so he thought about it carefully, and he couldn't get on the table, and then he checked her affairs later, and he only knew that she lived in a courtyard in Tang County, and he didn't think about other details at all.

But this is really no wonder of him, who would have thought that with Mei Cheng'an's temper, with the Mei family's great cause, all the women in Datang County thought about it, but Mei Chengan and Xiao Ling'er knew each other's identities, and they could calm down more than the other. I'm afraid that the news he went to check was somewhat blocked by Mei Chengan.

What's more, when this girl used to meet him in the medicine canteen, she had always had her hair scattered and she was young, how could he think that she was married, let alone that she was his aunt.

No wonder he felt that something was wrong with her no matter how he looked at her today, and now he found out that his hair was coiled up, and he was already dressed as a bride.

She had been prepared for a long time, and from the moment she walked into the hall, she began to show up this big show.

"Y-You're really that little concubine?"

"Why, Young Master Yongxin still doesn't believe it?"

Xiao Ling'er looked at Mei Yongxin with a smile, and was very impressed by his surprised expression.

In the corner of the hall, a person of grandmother's age trotted in, looked left and right at Xiao Ling'er's side for a while, and then nodded to the old lady.

Xiao Ling'er didn't have much impression of her, but she also knew that it must have been the grandmother who was picked up at that time, and was called by the old lady to confirm her identity. She nodded, and the old lady's mouth finally relaxed, "Yongxin, no matter what, there must be rules." ā€

"Yes, yes." Mei Yongxin was suddenly taught a lesson, and nodded hurriedly, "But grandmother, even if she is an aunt, she can't do such a two-sided business that fills her pockets, isn't this a smashing of our Mei family's signboard by yourself?" ā€

"Young Master Yongxin's words are wrong." Xiao Ling'er turned around leisurely and looked at him, "The person who did such a thing as smashing the Mei family's signboard is not Yongxin Young Boy yourself?" ā€

"I—I don't understand what you mean?"

"When Young Master Yongxin found me, I also wondered why Young Master Yongxin didn't go directly to Baicaotang to transfer it, but Young Master Yongxin told me clearly that this herb was asked for by himself, and it had nothing to do with the Mei family, and the contract also said that he was not allowed to go through Baicaotang. Young Master Yongxin doesn't allow me to ask more, so naturally I don't want to say more, it's my own family after all, of course I have to take care of it. It's just that at that time, I didn't expect that Young Master Yongxin's unpredictable prophet would actually know that he had signed a contract with me in advance to buy those herbs, and now he could just come in handy to relieve the Mei family's urgency. ā€

Xiao Ling'er's words were very obvious, and the old lady looked at Mei Yongxin, "Yongxin, didn't you say that it was a coincidence that you only knew that your friend Yao Tian could grow these medicines?" ā€

"yes." Mei Yongxin's speed of speech became faster, "Grandmother, I can only blame my grandson for not knowing people, and my sister-in-law doesn't tell me with my true identity, my grandson is a friend when my sister-in-law is a friend, and I also think that these herbs I bought were grown by my sister-in-law herself, but I never thought that my sister-in-law set such a trap, and these herbs actually came from another pharmacy under the Mei family." ā€

Mei Yongxin said, shaking his head with a sigh, "Sister-in-law, this thing is not authentic for you to do, if you say that concealing your identity is a last resort, but you play word games with me, the contract says that it can't be related to Baicaotang, but you are involved in other pharmacies of the Mei family, I'm afraid it's not right." Grandmother, grandson really didn't know that he would be made such a trick by his sister-in-law, and his grandson also purchased herbs from his sister-in-law in order to understand the urgency of the Mei family pharmacy. In this matter, the grandson is at fault, and it is the fault of not knowing. ā€

"Yongxin is not unreasonable." Old Lady Mei straightened her back a little, "However, this pharmacy is managed by Cheng'an, why is there any herbs that can be supplied in it, don't you know Cheng'an?" How could Xiao Ling'er buy it and then resell it, what kind of reputation did it get. ā€

"Old lady, the eldest young master really doesn't know about this."

Xiao Ling'er didn't plan to turn around any longer, so she simply opened her mouth. "Actually, Young Master Yongxin is right, these herbs are indeed grown by myself, and they can originally fill the flaws in the Mei family's pharmacy this time, but Young Master Yongxin has already had a contract with me, and I can't break it, so I can only sell these herbs to Young Master Yongxin, which is why I can't take them out for the eldest young master to relieve the siege. But fortunately, in the end, they all did things for the Mei family, and because of the deficit in Baicaotang, the profit of the pharmacy in the old lady's hand could also be completely made up. Therefore, although the eldest young master has made mistakes, the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, please ask the old lady to stop punishing the young master. ā€

"What does it mean to offset the merits and demerits? Now you say that the herbs were grown, and where did the number of herbs in the ledger come from, and the amount of profit that I bought from you. ā€

"Young Master Yongxin is joking again, I am both your aunt and the eldest young master's concubine, do you still have to divide these things clearly?"

"Grandmother." Mei Chengan finally stood up at the right time, "When she got married, her grandson was riddled with old illnesses and treated her badly, after recognizing her, her grandson saw that Ling'er was very business-minded, and took a lot of people to grow and sell medicines, so he arbitrarily advocated that this shop be allocated to her to be managed by her, so as to deal with the medicine field in her hand that can grow precious medicinal materials." In this way, if he really encountered something like this one, he could quickly fill the vacancy, but he never thought that the second brother would buy out the herbs in Ling Er's hand. That's why it's sold from one pharmacy and bought from another. ā€
