Xianghua continued: "In addition to the magistrate, Sister Xiaoman also has something to entrust me. ”

Cheng Linchang asked: "Boss Qian hasn't been here for a long time, don't something happen?" ”

Xianghua laughed: "She's very good, but she's so busy that her feet don't touch the ground." Several times I told me that I wanted to come to our Zhuangzi to play, but I didn't come to work out temporarily. This time it also told me a big thing and told me to prepare well. ”

When several people saw that she was formal, they all asked what was the matter.

"Recently, a mysterious person came to her to ask her where the chili pepper came from, and she was very careful in what she said and did. It took a lot of people for her to find out who he was. ”

"Who is it?"

"Father-in-law of the Great Inside." Xianghua said solemnly.

Cheng Linchang frowned and asked, "What kind of place is that?" What's so amazing about this father-in-law? ”

As soon as Xianghua heard it, she knew that the few of them didn't understand, so she explained what kind of identity this was.

When Xiangmiao heard this, she was taken aback and said, "That's serving the emperor?!" ”

Xianghua hurriedly made a quiet movement.

The man didn't seem to want to make a noise. And what he said to Sister Xiaoman was to listen to the doctor's instructions and buy some dried chili peppers for the master of the family to use in medicine. All we sent to Xiangmanlou was chili powder, so Sister Xiaoman could only write to me. ”

Donglin felt that this matter was very strange: "Sister, if that person is really Ouchi's father-in-law, isn't there a lot of imperial doctors to take care of the emperor when he is sick?" If you want any rare medicinal materials, you can also have everything. Why be cautious about going outside the palace to seek medicine? ”

Kanae also nodded, "I also feel that something is wrong." Don't be another restaurant that wants to know the secret of our chili pepper and deliberately set up this trap, right? ”

"It's possible." Xianghua nodded and said, "But it took a lot of effort for Sister Xiaoman to find out the identity of this person, and even the surname and name are clear." She said that this man was not an ordinary father-in-law, but a regular servant. ”

"What is a 'permanent attendant'?"

"It's the most loyal grand dukes around the emperor."

Several others gasped.

Cheng Linchang was dumbfounded and asked, "Then, is this real?" ”

Xianghua said: "Nine times out of ten." ”

"Then what is the emperor's illness? Can chili peppers really cure? Kanae asked worriedly.

She and Donglin often listened to her father's stories, and the emperor in the story was a kind and kind chubby old grandfather.

Xianghua shook her head: "I don't know yet." Since they need it, I naturally have to pick out the best chili peppers and send them to Sister Xiaoman, hoping to put them in handy. ”

Cheng Linchang also said with a serious face: "This matter is indeed a big deal, you choose it well." Our emperor is a benevolent king, and he is many times better than the emperor of the previous dynasty. ”

Xianghua nodded.

She also knows how much wind and waves the world will turn up if the emperor dies suddenly, especially now that the emperor has no children under his knees, the two kings are bound to become fire and water. If there is a real fight, no matter who wins, the people will have to suffer a lot.

Xianghua sighed and said, "Sister Xiaoman said that this matter is very confidential, that person asked for ten taels of gold and ten taels of chili peppers, this matter can't be accidental, she wants me to send it personally." ”

When everyone heard that this person was so generous, they were even more sure that this was someone from the emperor's side. The matter is urgent, and Xianghua is naturally appropriate, but Xianghua has never gone far alone, even before, she was always with taro by her side.

Cheng Linchang couldn't help but be a little worried.

"This chili pepper can still be sent to the capital if it is entrusted to a reliable person, why do you have to run a girl's house yourself?"

Xianghua said: "Sister Xiaoman originally thought about letting Shopkeeper Hu or Ah Shun send it, but she was worried that it would be improperly stored and affect the properties of the medicine, so it would be a failure." ”

Donglin said: "Then tell them carefully how to preserve, Uncle Hu and Ah Shun are meticulous people, and they will not make mistakes." ”

Xiangmiao also said: "Sister, it's too scary for you to go to the capital alone, Sister Xiaoman likes you so much, you tell her to let her come back to get it, or send someone to get it." ”

Xianghua looked at her younger brothers and sisters, and understood that they were all worried about their safety, so she smiled and said: "I know that you are for my good, and I don't want to go much, but now Sister Xiaoman has already set off from the capital to pick me up......"

Several people were stunned.

Xianghua then said, "...... Sister Xiaoman thinks longer than us. What she thought was that the emperor was old, and these chili peppers might not be enough. If the emperor has a case, he can't wait for us to send the medicine thousands of miles, and she wants me to teach the regular attendant how to grow chili peppers......"

The three of them were stunned.

After a while, Cheng Linchang sighed and said, "Hey, if this is the case, there is no way, but I have to talk to her in front." She will send you back how she picked you up. ”

Xianghua said with a smile: "These little man sisters are naturally clear. Dad, you don't have to worry too much, it's going to be a few days before she comes. ”

Cheng Linchang nodded silently, but there was still a worried look on his face.

Donglin and Xiangmiao didn't know what to say, but they all looked like they wanted to talk and stopped, and they were very relieved to look at it.

At this moment, Xianghua realized that although she was now a "big girl" of more than thirteen years old, in the eyes of her father, she was still a little girl who had never been far away.

And in the eyes of her younger siblings, although she is the eldest sister, she will always be only three years older than them. They trust her, care for her, and worry about her.

There was a little tear in Xianghua's eyes, for them, she would definitely come back as soon as possible.

Qian Xiaoman has been in Qingshan Village for more than ten days, and Xianghua has been busy arranging family affairs in the past few days. Ying'er also made some considerations, and the people in the family finally agreed to her to collect the money.

Ying'er was also taken aback when she heard that she was responsible for collecting the money, and asked, "Why me?" ”

Xianghua smiled: "Because you are smart." ”

"How do you know I'm smart?"

"Mr. Yan told me, he said that you have been making rapid progress in the past few days. It's like a sponge, you can squeeze out as much as you suck in. ”

Ying'er looked at her with some disbelief on her face. Xianghua smiled, she didn't lie, this was indeed Yan Gou's words. His original words were, "When it comes to talent, you are the first among girls, and Ying'er is second." ”

Xianghua knew that Ying'er didn't like to chat with people, so she got straight to the point and said, "Why don't you speak?" Would you like it or not? ”

Ying'er lowered her eyes and asked reluctantly, "Give me money?" ”

Xianghua was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

This girl is really incredible. She eats and lives as a family, and now she is still thinking about asking for money to help do something.

"What do you do with the money? Looking for your sister? ”

She nodded.

"Don't forget, I gave you the one hundred taels you asked Bao to ask for help, and I haven't asked you for money yet."

Ying'er smiled: "Sister, you are so confused. The one hundred taels were obviously bought by you, and it was originally my money, why did you ask me? ”
