Chapter 121: Reflections

In the laughter, Xin Chaoyang's expression remained unchanged, and he poured himself wine.

"Okay, thank you Young Master Yahe" Gu Banniang's expression returned to normal, and she stood up and gave a shallow salute.

It stands to reason that she should raise her glass and drink a glass next, but she didn't think about it but just gave a salute.

Saying that if you don't drink, you won't drink, this woman is still so cautious even at the moment when she is already distracted.

"Eighteen ladies are polite." Xin Chaoyang raised his wine glass and smiled back, and drank it all himself, "It's late at night, Xin said goodbye." ”

Get up.

Gu Bainiang didn't keep it, and nodded with a smile, "I'll send it to the eldest young master." ”

Xin Chaoyang smiled sideways, asked her to go first, he was one step behind, and the maids of the two divided into two columns and followed slowly.

"This year, I will meditate on the skills taught by my master, but I promise that the medicine for your family will not change." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

"I naturally trust the eighteenth lady." Xin Chaoyang replied with a smile, and his voice changed, "Now that Liu Gong has reappeared in the pharmaceutical world, the news has spread all over the world, and medicine seekers are flocking to it, I don't know how much medicine can be issued by the eighteen ladies in a month?" ”

He thought very much that one medicine a year was also exclusive, and a hundred copies were also exclusive.

Gu Bainiang glanced sideways at him and pondered slightly for a moment.

"One kind comes out in January, and one kind of ten." She said.

"I'm afraid that some dignitaries and nobles will ask for some kind of medicine...."Xin Chaoyang asked closely, with a somewhat helpless smile, "People see that I am extremely rich and rich, but in fact, I am just rich, and I have nothing to do with noble words..."

These rich businessmen are how to do business, the right time and place are indispensable, and the people are the most indispensable, and the local government has a good relationship, only in this way can the business continue to do it safely for a long time, and the relationship between the four parties is good, then everyone is good, if you offend a certain official and power, break the county order, and destroy the history of the door, in a blink of an eye, you can make your rich businessman disappear.

Gu Bainiang understood what he meant, and was silent.

"Xin admires the courage of the eighteen ladies very much." Xin Chaoyang sighed suddenly.

Gu Bainiang smiled and glanced at the chie in his hand, "Okay, even for the sake of Chi's face, I have to agree, at most one special medicine per month." ”

Xin Chaoyang laughed loudly and said thank you.

"However, I want ninety percent of the money for the medicine I ask for." Gu Banniang smiled, "As for the good I helped you out, you don't need to thank you." ”

Since it is a last resort for you to be chased by dignitaries and nobles, then she promised to give them a great life to relieve the siege, which is enough for them to be grateful to Dade, as for the price, there is no need to be so careful.

"Such a beautiful day, extremely elegant, talking about this, really..."Xin Chaoyang shook his head and sighed, as if with a trace of regret and helpless smile.

"Don't talk about this, where do you and I have the fate to enjoy the beauty of this beautiful day." Gu Banniang smiled faintly.

She stopped in front of the door and leaned slightly out of the way.

Xin Chaoyang paused in front of her slightly, his gaze sweeping over her face.

"Eighteen ladies stay." He chuckled.

"The eldest young master is easy to go." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Watching the carriage drive into the dim street, Gu Bainiang stood for a moment and ordered the door to close.

"Miss," the maids who had not yet recovered from the surprise brought by Xin Chaoyang, their eyes sparkled, "This son is so good to Miss..."

Visiting late at night, congratulating with joy, the key is that the person is good-looking, and he is a rich son, just ask any young woman in this world to be excited.

The young lady is not young anymore, and the girls of other families are going to marry at this age, and the son in front of her is simply suitable.

The maids all looked at Gu Bainiang with excited expressions.

Stepping over the shadows cast by the flowers and trees on the stone road, Gu Bainiang looked at the expressions of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls around her, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Of course he's going to be nice to me," she laughed.

Although it is rumored that Miss is a fierce and vicious woman, the maids who often follow her know that in fact, Miss is very kind, and she does not have many pettiness of ordinary young ladies.

It was extremely unruly for the boudoir lady to talk about a man like this, but the lady did not reprimand them, and took it as she pleased.

"Then, that young lady," stammered a bold maid, pushed by the others' eyes, "what does young lady think of him?" ”

In fact, what everyone means is how to marry him, but this is what the girls' families can't say anyway.

Gu Bainiang laughed, looking at these little girls who were at the age of Fanghua when their hearts were budding.

"He's good to me because I'm worthy of him," she said, shaking her head and smiling, sighing as she spoke, "but what if one day I'm not worth it?" Or rather, one day, there will be a more worthy woman......."

Now she Gu Ba Niang has understood that in this world, if you want not to be treated like an ant, you must make yourself worthy, worthy of being looked down upon by others, worthy of being feared and feared by others, of course, she will definitely move forward with this goal, instead of thinking that she can get the support of others just by relying on humble and flattery, as she once did.

However, this rule is an exception for some people, and that is your loved ones.

Regardless of whether she is rich and glorious or lowly and humble, her closest relatives have always had the same attitude, and this close relatives naturally refer to her mother and brother.

As for the husband, there may be such a husband in this world who treats his wife like a close relative, but she Gu Banniang did not have this blessing in her previous life, and in this life, she is afraid that she will have no share.

She will try to make herself worthy of anyone's attention, but the future is long and unknown, and she doesn't want to be stabbed in the chest again when she falls into the trough.

The maids looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Miss's words, and had the heart to ask again, seeing that Miss's expression was cold under the moonlight, there was no smile on her face, her eyes were slightly condensed, everyone was busy and interesting, and followed her all the way quietly.

As the carriage drove into the night-shrouded street, Shin Chaoyang, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed in a low voice.

"Young Master, Gu Niangzi really dared to open her mouth, I thought she would ignore this ......" On the other side of the carriage, a thin middle-aged man sat and whispered.

Their main purpose this time is not to finalize the amount of medicine supplied by Gu Niangzi every month, but to ask for medicine that Xin Chaoyang finally seemed to casually propose, as long as Gu Niangzi is relieved on this, for Da Yousheng, it means a transcendent and superior status in the pharmaceutical world, of course, with status, money will naturally roll in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this little lady opened her mouth, she was about to leave, and almost all the profits of this transaction.

Xin Chaoyang's expression was faint, and his slender fingers stroked the dark purple chi, "Oh? Could it be that the sixth master thinks that I am going to a beauty trick this time? ”

Looking at his eldest young master's outstanding description and demeanor, it is really hard to believe that there are untouched women in this world, and the sixth master can't help but cough dryly.

"Where, where, the young master said that he laughed..."He smiled, with a little embarrassment of being seen through his mind, and hurriedly changed the topic, "This little lady, at a young age, is actually like an old man, it seems that not only his skills but also the deep life of Liu Gongzhen.....

This little lady is also too bad for the scenery, such a beautiful scenery, just enjoy the beauty of Yale with peace of mind, and she is still thinking about money

The one who believed in Chaoyang did not answer thoughtfully.

This little lady really shed out her hidden true feelings under the guidance of her own piano sound, but this did not make him feel relaxed that everything was under control, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.

"Beauty.," he muttered, laughing at himself, "There is no beauty in her eyes, it's just a red face and dry bones..."

The eldest young master seems to be a little ...... The sixth master squinted his eyes slightly and couldn't help opening for a moment, a little shocked by what he found.

"But," he coughed, as if to dispel his weird thoughts, "Gu Niangzi wants to concentrate on cultivation for a year, and we have an advantage at present, but a year later, the day Gu Niangzi will show his talents, and it will also be the time when our contract is invalid..."

At that time, it was the time when Gu Niangzi was in the limelight, and they no longer had the first opportunity...

"What a pity..."The sixth master sighed, with a deep unwillingness, "It would be nice if it would always be like this..."

Exclusive one pharmacist, one great pharmacist

Xin Chaoyang couldn't help but beat his heart, ordinary medicine stores have their own pharmacists, and they all have signed contracts, but those famous pharmacists are naturally unwilling to be controlled by others.

The medicine bank has used various tricks to win over the great pharmacist, and the most common and effective is marriage.

Quan Shengyong, the boss of Shandong Pharmaceutical Store, is the father-in-law of the great pharmacist Du Hengjiu, and the three daughters of the capital Erhetang married the three daughters of the family to the great pharmacist Song Desheng....

These are all married, and the cooperation can be maintained for one generation, but the great pharmacist is passed down to one generation, and the relationship is weaker for one generation, and after three generations at most, the effect of in-laws is not prominent, not to mention, even if you marry a daughter and send a concubine, the descendants of those pharmacists are still the surname of the pharmacist, and these medicine stores are not considered a family....

But now there is a female pharmacist, and the female pharmacist can't marry, but she can marry, and after marrying, she becomes someone else's family......

Xin Chaoyang and Liuye looked at each other, and they both found the sparkle in each other's eyes

"Young Master" Sixth Master's throat was a little dry, and he couldn't hide his excitement, "Gu Niangzi is now a craftsman, and it is hopeless to marry the Shi clan..."

There was a lantern hanging in the dead corner of the carriage, and it shook with the driving, and it was dim and unknown in the carriage, and Xin Chaoyang sat upright, and half of the people were hidden in the darkness.

"Sixth Master, you quickly collect the information of the school-age men in the clan.." His voice was faint and could not hear emotion, ".. I presented them with my grandfather and my father. ”

The sixth master's throat moved, he glanced at his eldest young master, and bowed his head in response.

A month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was September when the autumn wind was bleak, and the mountains and forests outside the city were red and yellow, which was particularly beautiful.

It is not surprising that this time there are 300 scholars, Yunmeng Academy accounts for 100 places, because the palace examination is in the coming year, and the atmosphere of the examination will be eased a lot.

Gu Hai watched as the little servants loaded the Beijing gifts they bought.

"I'll be home by mid-October at the latest, so don't worry about Madame." Looking at the carriage that was about to leave, Gu Hai said again.

"Yes, young master, take care." A servant and a maid hurriedly bowed down to give a salute.

Gu Hai nodded, and then waved his hand to signal them to set off.

"Young Master, wait." A crisp female voice came from afar, panting with a Lingbao holding a burden.

These days, Lingbao quickly regained the thin figure he had when he first saw him, and because of the rush of running, his pale face flushed, and Gu Hai couldn't help but feel a little pity.

Lingbao handed the burden in his hand to the maid, stroked his chest and gasped: "This is... To give... A few pairs of shoes made by Madame and Mademoiselle..."

"It's not like you don't want to send anything." Gu Hai shook his head and said.

"This is Lingbao's heart." Lingbao said.

Watching the carriage set off, Gu Hai did not turn around and enter the academy.

"Still no news from Lingyuan?" He asked.

Lingbao looked gloomy and shook his head.

Selling yourself as a slave, changing your name and surname, life and death are not up to you, or reselling, all kinds of uncertainties, it is really not easy to find a slave in the huge capital.

"When will the young master go back?" Unlike letting his sorrow affect the young master's mood, Lingbao hurriedly changed the topic, "Madame and Miss must be very happy." ”

"I'll leave in half a month, and I still have some homework to ask sir." Gu Hai said with a smile, hesitating, "Lingbao, why don't you go back with me, it's not a way for you to look for it like this." ”

Lingbao shook his head, "Thank you, young master, Lingbao can't find his brother and won't go back." ”

If you were to be yourself or Eighteen Niang, you will definitely do this, and Gu Hai will no longer force it.

As he was talking, he saw seven or eight scholars hugging this Gu Yu and walking out, each with a small servant leading a horse behind him, and his clothes and hats were all neat and new.

It seemed that he was going out, Gu Hai turned sideways to make way.

Gu Yu was dressed in a plain brocade robe, draped in a dark cloak, with a jade crown and his hair, and his face was shining.

As the head of this session, it naturally attracted countless visits and banquets, but Gu Yu was unusually low-key, except for his classmates Jiankang villagers, there were not many people to see, and he also declined most of the banquets, and still lived in the academy and studied quietly.

I didn't know if this time it was a banquet to invite him to attend.

Seeing Gu Hai, everyone stopped, these scholars are all high school students, and their rankings are different, but they are the most in the same year, and they will help each other in the officialdom in the future, so they all greeted each other with a smile.

"Let's meet and go to the house of Master Li to thank you, let's have a share." Someone said.

Gu Hai really hadn't been there, and when he heard the words, he was a little hesitant to look at Gu Yu again.

Where could his hesitation escape Gu Yu's eyes, and a smile appeared on Gu Yu's face, with a slight mockery.

"What? Don't want to still.. Can't? He asked with a smile.

It wasn't interesting for others to hear this, but the two brothers understood it in their hearts.

This time Gu Yu won the first place, Gu Hai noticed that his attitude had changed a lot, of course, he was still not kind, but there was less jealousy in his eyes in the past, and more ridicule and disdain.

Isn't it just laughing at his own ranking, Gu Hai is a little smiling, for Gu Hai, he is already very satisfied to be in the top three hundred, although he is the top of the Jiankang Township test, but there are people outside the mountains, and there are many talents in the Great Zhou, he doesn't think that he is already talented in the world Of course, everyone wants a better ranking, so he also has a small loss, as well as a little jealousy of Gu Yu, but that's all.

"Naturally, I'm going." Gu Hai said with a smile, he happened to be wearing new clothes and was dressed properly, so he ordered the little maid to lead the horse.

Gu Yu is now famous, and the more he is also constrained, he must be more cautious and cautious than before, and he will definitely not dare to get along with him openly.

In addition, it is also necessary to visit the examiner, Lord Lee.

After instructing Lingbao a few more words, Gu Hai stepped on his horse and walked towards the city with the others.

The main examiner, Master Li, is a scholar, and his mansion, like other heavyweight eunuchs, is located outside Suzaku Street in Su'an City, surrounded by the mansions of important ministers in the court.

When Gu Yu and his party came to Master Li's door, there was already a horse parked in front of the door.

Watching the four or five guards dismount, a tall middle-aged man walked down from the vermilion four-person sedan chair, although he was not wearing official uniforms, but the momentum of the superior could not be ignored, and the two or three people who had stopped on the side suddenly changed color.

"It's the Cabinet Hu-sama"

"It's this soft bone"

"Dog thief"

"How can Lord Li meet him, Lord Li is righteous and discerning, and he will never meet a villain like him"

Several people said with indignant expressions.

The dispute between the main station and the court before the exam, now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and several supervisors don't know where to get the evidence that General Ye Zhen has colluded with the gold thief to commit great rebellion, and the emperor was furious and sent someone to escort General Ye back to Beijing and put him in prison.

The court and the world were in an uproar, and for a time the court was in the same situation, and the scholars who were well-read and well-versed in ancient and modern times naturally did not want to show weakness and made their positions clear, believing that this was a trick of the peace-seeking faction, and all kinds of arguments were flying all over the sky.

The ups and downs of the sea are sinister, the relationship is intricate, the parties are numerous, and the dark tide of prosperous and quiet Su'an is surging.

"Shhhh Gu Yu hurriedly whispered to a few people, looking at the soldiers of the main battle faction with a little helplessness, and reminded him euphemistically, "We don't want to criticize the major affairs of the DPRK and China, today is to meet the chief examiner, as a disciple, there is nothing to do." ”

At this time, the closed door of the Li family opened, and an old man in homely clothes walked out slowly, rushing to the person and bowing his hand slightly.

At this moment, the few people who were originally going to silence Gu Yu's words suddenly became angry.

"Master Li actually came to pick up Lord Hu in person"

Gu Hai, who had not spoken, had a gloomy expression, watching Master Li and Master Nahu enter the door together, and finally flicked his sleeves,

"General Ye was falsely accused of being imprisoned by such villains, and my generation will never be complicit in him," he said, turning his horse and leaving.

As soon as he left, the other scholars also immediately turned their horses around and left angrily, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Yu and the other two were left.

"This..."The two looked at Gu Yu, as if waiting for him to decide whether to leave or stay.

A smile appeared on Gu Yu's face, and he frowned as he looked at the distant figures of Gu Hai and the others.

"Ridiculous," he snorted inaudibly.

Xixing can't do more, so he can only try his best to write more words, and as a whole, he will change 4,000 words per day, which is a lot.
