Chapter 252 of the text mentions
It can be said that her current use depends on these dowry shops, and now, not only does the pharmacy not make money, but also loses a lot of money because of the accident, how can she not be anxious?
She also had doubts about whether it was deliberately framed by someone with a heart, but she asked the grandmother around her to check, and the whole process, from the consultation to the medicine, was her person, and she did not doubt the loyalty to these people, and she also doubted whether she had encountered a porcelain touch.
But the person who grabbed the medicine is a solid businessman, and has been holding medicine in her pharmacy for more than ten years. Qin Mingyue carefully checked the family, and her character and reputation were very good, but she was just a simple businessman and did not participate in political affairs. So it can't be against her or the prince.
In this way, it can only be said that it is a problem of medicinal materials.
But the procurement of medicinal materials is all formal channels, and Xiang Xin is in charge, so she really doesn't know what the problem is. Originally, it would have been okay to pay a little silver, but for some reason, from the initial quarrel to the big fight in the back, seriously injured the people over there.
Now it's a big deal.
The injured man was the son of the old man, the pillar of the family, and if he was injured, the family's business would have to be suspended, and the old and weak women and children of the family would suddenly lose their backbone, so they had to make a big noise in the pharmacy.
I don't know who gave the family the idea, and actually sued the pharmacy to Jing Zhaoyin. A few days ago, Jing Zhaoyin made a surprise visit and tactfully raised the matter with the prince. Because there were a lot of people in the pharmacy at that time, coupled with the loud howling of the injured family, there were many onlookers, so it was not easy to suppress this matter, everyone knew that the pharmacy was Qin Mingyue's, if he was too favoritic, it would not be good for the prince's reputation.
Although the prince was angry, he also saw that Qin Mingyue's face did not have a seizure, and just told her to try to calm down this matter, and it didn't matter if she paid more money, so as not to leave a bad influence among the people.
Qin Mingyue is not very worried about this.
The pharmacy has been in business for more than ten years, the reputation is there, Xiang Xin's medical skills are also trustworthy, and from time to time he also holds free clinics, delivering mung bean soup in summer, and mutton soup during the winter solstice, not to mention soup soup from time to time, so this little thing is not enough to affect the reputation of the pharmacy.
"It's just a loss of money." Qin Mingyue sighed.
When she was grounded in the pear orchard, the middle feed in the house fell into the hands of Su Mengzhi, and with the birthday banquet of Queen Yun, the prince pleaded with the saint and lifted her ban, but the middle feed did not return to her hands.
Zhang Ruishun means that she and Su Mengzhidu have big bellies, which is inconvenient, and they can't work hard, anyway, there are not many chores in the prince's mansion, and there are not many industries on Zhang Ruishun's face, all of which are for the saint to see, and also for other brothers, so the account books of the prince's mansion are very thin and clean, and the prince's reputation among the brothers is also the best.
His resources all come from those industries in the secret, and these industries Qin Mingyue and Su Mengzhi can't get involved, there are special people to take care of them, and there are special people to take responsibility.
So only Qin Mingyue paid out of pocket for the money lost this time.
The problem of the old man is not very serious, and the two pairs of medicines will be fine, but after all, it is the old man, and it is the time of winter, the body is seriously ill, and there is a lot of trouble in the future.
In fact, this request is not too much, Qin Mingyue can accept it in order to calm things, the trouble is the old man's son, the person who is lying on the bed now.
The man's leg was broken, and his head was blooming, and he looked very serious, and he could recover from a leg injury in a few months, but if he injured his head, the family's business had to be suspended, and the loss was great.
Qin Mingyue has a big head.
The leg injury can be repaired, the injured muscles and bones are moved for a hundred days, and she has to pay for the decoction and medicine and nourishment for this hundred days, not to mention, the injury on the person's head is the most tricky. Although the injured person has woken up, but the head is hurt, it is not just recuperation, in case there are any sequelae, won't the family rely on her?
On top of that, the biggest expense is the cost of delaying business.
The family is well-off, and their own business is also doing very well, because the head of the family is now in bed, and the business has to be temporarily stopped, so the question is, who will pay for the lost silver?
Naturally, it's Qin Mingyue!
Thinking of this, Qin Mingyue felt that she was wronged.
The other party is not excessive, and the silver compensated every month will be based on their average monthly income until the head of the family is fully recovered and can take care of the business again!
The average income of 300 taels per month is not counting the cost of decoction, nourishment, and recuperation, which should be calculated at least 600 taels per month, plus the cost of the elderly, a small cost of 1,000!
Moreover, it will last for at least three months, and after three months, it is not known whether the injured person will be able to stand up and whether he will have the energy to take care of business!
Looking at the various expenses listed, Qin Mingyue had a big head, and her heart was bleeding when she had to spend such a big extra expense every month. Her current expenses rely on a few dowry shops, and the pharmacy and the gold shop are the most profitable, because of this incident, the business of the pharmacy has also been affected.
Moreover, in addition to this incident, there were other problems with the pharmacy, but fortunately, the problem was not big, and it could be dealt with a little money.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the aggrieved anger in her heart, Qin Mingyue said to the grandmother beside her: "You give this letter to Imperial Doctor Xiang, he knows what to do." ”
Although it was her dowry shop that had the accident, Qin Mingyue would not come forward in person, so she could only explain to Xiang Xin to solve the matter in a low-key manner.
"By the way, what's going on over there?" Qin Mingyue lowered her voice.
"Back to the crown princess, yesterday the imperial doctor came to ask Su Liangdi about her pulse, saying that the mother and son were safe." Mama said stubbornly.
"Mother and child are safe?" Qin Mingyue snorted coldly, "I haven't given birth yet, who knows if it's a man or a woman?" ”
Mama didn't dare to answer.
Qin Mingyue gently stroked her lower abdomen, "Are the medicine women ready over there?" ”
"Back to the crown princess, the medicine of the medicine woman has been prepared, just wait for the princess to ......"
If you want to say something, you will have an endless murderous aura.
Qin Mingyue finally smiled comfortably, "You arrange it first, and you will be able to use it soon." ”
Mama hurriedly responded, paused, and suddenly said: "By the way, the crown princess, Ming'er is going to enter the palace to see the queen, but what else do you have to prepare?" ”
Qin Mingyue thought about it and shook her head.
Enter the palace once a month to visit Queen Yun, this is the rule, and it is also the time for her to fulfill her filial piety. Although the Qin Mansion is now down, Queen Yun's attitude towards her is still as intimate as ever, which also makes her feel a lot more at ease. So when she entered the palace this time, she carefully prepared a lot of things, all of which were filial to Queen Yun.
Under the influence of Qin Wan, the things Qin Mingye prepared this time were not very valuable, but they were all made by herself, and she even embroidered a forehead with her own hands, which was the rouge color that Queen Yun liked, embroidered with gold and silver threads, embellished with precious jade, showing luxury.
Qin Mingyue is very satisfied with this forehead, there have been so many things recently, Queen Yun must be dissatisfied with her, so she has to behave well. When she enters the palace every month, it is the time when she is most proud, because only the crown princess can enter the palace every month to greet Queen Yun, which is a symbol of her status and the difference between her and Su Mengzhi.
In the queen's bedroom, Qin Mingyue respectfully presented the forehead wipes she had made, and sat meekly beside Zhang Ruishun.
Empress Yun took a cursory look, then handed the forehead wipe to the palace maid beside her, "It's still Mingyue who has a heart, remember this palace." ”
"The queen mother has tormented Mingyue," Qin Mingyue said with sincere fear, "Mingyue is the daughter-in-law of the queen's mother, and it is Mingyue's duty to honor the queen's mother." ”
Queen Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Mingyue is still sensible, and it is not in vain that this palace chose you in the first place." ”
Qin Mingyue was silent.
Empress Yun continued: "What this palace values is your heart and intelligence, and the intelligence of the people who follow His Highness is the most important, and they know what to say, what to do, and what not to do, so they will stay by themselves." ”
Qin Mingyue's face changed slightly, and she didn't dare to answer.
Zhang Ruishun was not involved in this kind of thing, he made an excuse and went to the imperial study, leaving Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue pinched the embroidered handkerchief crampedly, buried her head, and looked like she was being taught.
Empress Yun's voice softened, and she said, "You have been by the prince's side for so long, and it can be regarded as a lot of experience, so far, this palace is very satisfied with your performance." ”
"Thank you, Queen, for the compliment." Qin Mingyue not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more nervous.
Empress Yun smiled at her soothingly, "This palace is strict with you, and it is also for your good, the prince's current situation, you know best, those people not only have to deal with him, but also deal with the people around him, as the most important woman around the prince, the crown princess bears the brunt." ”
"The queen is right, Mingyue must be cautious."
"It's not enough to be cautious," said Queen Yun, "and you have to be smart, that's the most important thing." You and your aunt are very smart, otherwise, the original Prime Minister would not have been in your aunt's hands for more than ten years, what your aunt lacked was an identity. You should know how important your identity is. ”
Qin Mingyue's little face turned red, and she didn't know if she was angry or humiliated.
Queen Yun didn't mean to stop there, "Now your mother's family can't help you with anything, but fortunately, you have a capable second brother." The palace heard that Qin Mingxuan followed His Highness again. ”
"Yes, Queen." Qin Mingyue nodded.
Queen Yun continued: "The most proud thing about Qin Xiang is that he gave birth to your children, your second brother's ability is not lower than that of Qin Xiang, what he lacks is experience and opportunities. Before, the prince was also helpless, although Qin Xiang said that he was the prince's father-in-law, but the matter of morality was his own cultivation, if the prince was partial, it would make the suspicion and accusation of the outside world even worse. The prince also has his difficulties, you can talk to your second brother about it. ”
