"Let her come in and tell me!" The old lady lifted the quilt angrily and was about to get up, but she fell down because of the violent movement, and Mama Qin quickly held it up.

Jin Cui came in from outside tremblingly and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head and say: "Old lady, the young lady said that the sleeping medicine she put in the hot pot dipping sauce yesterday was begged for by the imperial doctor of Damei, and it is not harmful to people's bodies, so the old lady does not have to worry; The young lady also said that if she takes the child away, you can rest assured, even if she fights for her own life, she will not let the child have anything to do. ”

Imperial Doctor Mei is the entourage assigned by the crown prince to Hua Ronghua this time, what does she mean by that? Could it be that even the prince knew about her druggedness? The old lady turned over several times in her heart, and asked again, "What else did she say?" ”

Jin Cui snorted: "The young lady also said that the slave and maid are left in the family now, so the responsibility of taking care of the house will be handed over to the slave and maid." ”

"You're the only one left here?" The old lady asked.

"And Mo Yan, Niu Ya didn't eat hot pot last night, and Qin Guard and Old Wu Tou also drank alcohol, so Mo Yan ate more, and now he is still dizzy!"

"It's useless!" After being silent for a while, the old lady said hatefully, I don't know whether she was talking about herself or complaining about Yahuan, Jin Cui hung her head deeply, and didn't dare to say a word.

"Mama Qin."

"Old lady?"

"Wait for me to change my clothes." The old lady got up from the bed and grimaced.

Mama Qin hurriedly waited with her hands, and asked cautiously, "Is the old lady going back to Bofu?" ”

The old lady snorted, "When I woke up, there was no one in the house, shouldn't I ask?" ”

"Do you want to go to the Yamen to say hello?" Mama Qin asked tentatively.

"What are you talking about in that place? The old body is going to the East Palace to find the prince to inquire about Hua's whereabouts, so he can send someone to chase him! ”

This time, the old lady arrived at the gate of the East Palace but was stopped, the prince was not someone who could see him, not to mention that the old lady had no call and no worship, so it was strange that she could go in! But the old lady was unwilling, and was about to use the money to smash it when the prince's car happened to come back.

Seeing the old lady, the prince was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Does the old lady want to go to Jiangnan together?" The caravan has just left, and if you chase it now, you can catch up. ”

The old lady saluted and kowtowed and replied: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old body doesn't want to go to Jiangnan. The old body just, just came to find my unworthy granddaughter-in-law, Fahrenheit. ”

"Mrs. Hua? Didn't she leave first in the morning? Didn't she say goodbye to the old lady? The prince asked in surprise, a little puzzled by what kind of dumb play this pair of ancestors and grandsons were playing.

The old lady opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything about being dizzy by the drug. Hua Ronghua can be shameless, but she can't be embarrassed. only smiled awkwardly: "Fahrenheit told me, but the old body didn't expect her to go so fast, and I want to ask her again!" ”

Although the prince felt that the old lady might not have told the truth, since people said this, he didn't want to delve into it, as long as he didn't make a mistake about his own business, he smiled and comforted: "The old lady can rest assured, this king is worried that the two children are small, so he specially ordered Aunt Qinghua, who was next to the crown princess, to help Mrs. Linhua take care of it, and it will be fine." ”

"It's really troublesome for His Highness Lao." The old lady only felt that the corners of her mouth were full of bitterness when she laughed.

Farewell to the prince, the old lady said something before getting into the car, but Mama Qin didn't hear it clearly, and couldn't help asking, "What did you say, old lady?" Do you still have to send someone to chase after you? ”

"What are you chasing? I married such a daughter-in-law of a loser, and I don't know that I have created a sin for several lifetimes! Back to Bofu! The old lady said angrily.

Although she was angry enough at the time, after going back, the old lady still sent someone to chase Mo An and send him to the caravan. The old lady also understood that although Jin Cui took care of the children carefully, it was more convenient for a man to run errands or something outside.

Mo An chased after him in a carriage, and after chasing for two days, he finally caught up with the caravan, but he didn't see Hua Ronghua yet. After all, Hua Ronghua went first, and it was a light car, and the natural speed was also fast. He came mainly to help the young lady take care of the children, so naturally it was impossible to follow the caravan slowly, so he could only continue to drive after Hua Ronghua.

Finally, he walked for another two days to catch up with Hua Ronghua.

"Young lady, you can let the minions chase after you!" Mo An wiped the ashes on his face, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Hua Ronghua.

Although Hua Ronghua is still a little uncomfortable when he sees others kowtowing or kowtowing to others now, he is calm when he sees Mo An's head. Since Anping County, Hua Ronghua has felt that although Mo An is respectful to him on the surface, he still looks down on himself, and now he takes the initiative to kneel and kowtow to himself, doesn't it mean that he has completely surrendered himself? Thinking about it this way, she was still faintly proud in her heart.

"Get up, don't be so polite outside, trouble. You're alone? Hua Ronghua subconsciously looked outside.

Mo An got up from the ground, glanced at the child in Hua Ronghua and Niu Ya's arms, and nodded with a long sigh: "Yes, the old lady only asked the slave to run an errand or something for you." ”

"Okay, since I'm here, I won't drive you out, go find Guard Qin and Old Wu, you guys live together, and leave early tomorrow morning." Hua Ronghua knew that she would not be willing if she didn't leave an old lady's eyeliner, so she accepted it calmly, after all, whether it was the old lady or Mo An, it was true that she really cared about the child.

In this way, Hua Ronghua began her journey south.

In fact, Hua Ronghua had already discussed with the prince and Mr. Xiao about which state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River would hold exhibitions, and the prince also sent people to greet the local government first, in order to ensure that Hua Ronghua would be given the greatest support.

The main thing for Hua Ronghua to do when he arrived in the local area was to organize and carry out exhibitions, do a good job in preliminary publicity, and start as soon as the caravan arrived.

Although officials from all over the country are unimpressed about letting themselves cooperate with a woman, after all, they are from "above", and they always have to give face. It's just that the contemptuous and disdainful attitude outside the words is full of expression, at the beginning, Hua Ronghua still wanted to work hard to show himself, but later saw that none of those officials talked about business, but surrounded His Royal Highness the Prince, but kept asking questions, obviously thinking of herself as the prince's woman.

Hua Ronghua was angry, and he didn't tell these officials, he gave full authority to Fuxi, and he turned to the war house to deal with those officials' wives, which was really much better than talking to those men.

Those official wives are also curious about Hua Ronghua's wife who received the prince's orders, so they will talk to Hua Ronghua in depth every time, and most of them also ask her about the relationship with the prince. After a long time, Huaronghua became more and more sleek. You want to know, okay, then I'll say a few words to you, and then I'll get back to the point, talk about the fair, and promise some benefits.

Mrs. Guan felt that her curiosity was satisfied, and naturally helped Hua Ronghua introduce more merchant girls. Don't look at the status of these merchant ladies is not very good, but all of them wear gold and silver are even more gorgeous than the prefect's wife, although they are also curious about Hua Ronghua, but they are not as bold as the official wife, and the blatant inquiry, at most, is to ask on the side, and if you can't get the answer, forget it.

However, the exhibition that Mrs. Hua said was all tribute, but it greatly attracted the attention of this merchant's lady.

One of the ladies surnamed Hong said: "Mrs. Hua, if it is really a tribute, how can it flow into the market, if we have the same things as the nobles in the palace, wouldn't it be against the rules?" ”

Hua Ronghua smiled, worthy of being a merchant lady known for her shrewdness, she thought carefully enough, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "The goods sold in this exhibition are definitely things used by the nobles in the palace, but now they are not liked by the nobles in the palace, so I asked the emperor to stop paying tribute to the palace for these goods, and then we brought them to Jiangnan to hold the exhibition." If you don't believe me, the day before the fair, there will be a notice that lists all the products of the fair, as well as a statement and a seal issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they will no longer purchase these products, so you can buy them with confidence. ”

Before leaving Beijing, she asked the prince for this thing, and Mr. Xiao thought she was doing it too much, Look, don't you use it now?

The lady surnamed Hong suddenly said, "Oh, it turned out to be something that was eliminated in the palace." ”

"Yes, but these goods have just been eliminated from the palace, and they are absolutely not sold on the market, and it is not illegal for everyone to buy them." Hua Ronghua explained that the merchants and ladies finally put their hearts at ease.

Not only did the ladies feel itchy when they heard this, but even the prefect's wife who organized this tea party was a little moved, but when she considered the price positioning that Hua Ronghua said yesterday, she was a little hesitant, if she really bought these goods easily and spread them to the ears of the prince, wouldn't she suspect that her husband was corrupt?

In this tangled mood, she sent away the merchant ladies who promised to come, and the prefect's wife said a little sourly: "These ladies don't care about the idea of money, presumably this time Mrs. Hua is going to make a profit." ”

Hua Ronghua was slightly stunned, and then sighed, "Madam, you only look at how much I earn, but you don't see how much I can get in the end." All the money earned is to be handed over to the prince, and finally enrich the treasury, I am just a passing god of wealth, if it is not for His Royal Highness the prince needs this batch of silver, can it open the door for me so much! ”

When the prefect's wife heard this, she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, and persuaded Hua Ronghua, "But as long as you do things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, you will not be able to benefit in the end." ”

Hua Ronghua shook his head and sighed, "The kind of promised things that don't really get their hands and don't count, how can they compare to Madame, and they can earn a lot of pocket money through the light of this exhibition?" ”

"I, I'm not an imperial businessman, and no one in the family is." The prefect's wife was stunned, "How can I possibly make money?" ”

"Hey, the fair is so big, those who come to buy things and go shopping are not here to buy and leave, they have to walk more and see more, compare and compare, they are tired, and they need a place to rest for a while, right? If you go to some teahouse tavern, it's too far. So here comes our opportunity, we can add a few tea sheds in different places of the fair, make them cleaner, and let people sell some tea, ice bowls, snacks or something, do these people still account for the price? ”

The more Mrs. Prefect listened, her eyes brightened, and she asked a little puzzled: "Isn't it okay for Mrs. Hua to open it directly?" Then you can also make more fat powder money. ”
