Chapter 15: The Lin Family
"What Lin family, Li family?" Su Qingci was confused.
"I forgot, Shopkeeper Su is a foreigner." Shopkeeper Liu smiled, and there was a slight sweat on his slightly chubby face after adding a circle of tea.
"The Lin family is an imperial merchant who specializes in supplying rare medicinal materials to the capital, and the granddaughter of the Lin family is still a concubine. But they are all characters who can't be provoked. I heard that if it weren't for the need to manage the two mountains where medicinal herbs were grown, the Lin family would have moved to Beijing a few years ago. ”
"I see." Su Qingci nodded, "But no matter how prominent his Lin family is, what does it have to do with the medicinal materials I want?" ”
"What's so hard to guess about this?" Yun Chuan on the side cocked Erlang's legs and said disdainfully: "Didn't Fang Cai say that the girl of the Chu family has the talent to grow medicinal herbs?" It must be that the Lin family has taken a fancy to this talent and wants to kidnap her. ”
"And that's not all." Shopkeeper Liu sighed again and again, "I heard that old man Chu said, for some reason, in the purchase list of the Lin family in Jingzhong this time, there happened to be this dragon knot grass and dream orchid, and the Lin family somehow learned that Miss Chu had grown these two rare medicinal materials, not to say that she stole this medicinal material from the Lin family's medicine mountain." ”
"That day, the Lin family went to Chu Laohan's house to make trouble, and somehow, the second master of the Lin family fell in love with Miss Chu, and he had to marry into the Lin family to be his concubine, otherwise he would report to the official for stealing and put Chu Laohan in prison. But no one knows that the Lin family is good friends with the government, and the government must be on the side of the Lin family. ”
"And that kind of thing?" Su Qing smacked his tongue. Since coming to the Central Plains, people say that they are reckless in southern Xinjiang, but she feels that these people are more arrogant and unreasonable. ”
Second Master Lin was probably afraid of falling into his mouth, so he only said that he would give Miss Chu half a month to think about it. Since then, where did his grandparents and grandchildren still have the heart to take care of those medicinal herbs? No, I can only come and tell me that I can't send it in the future. Shopkeeper Liu spread his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Su, it's really not that I deliberately breached the contract, but I can't help it." ”
Su Qingci took a sip of tea, with a smile as usual on his face, put down the tea bowl and said, "In this way, I really don't blame Shopkeeper Liu." ”
Shopkeeper Liu heard her and just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard her say with a smile: "I understand Shopkeeper Liu's difficulties, and please ask Shopkeeper Liu to be considerate and considerate of me, and sell me the rest of the store." ”
Shopkeeper Liu was shocked, and was about to say something, but Yun Chuan preemptively said: "Shopkeeper Liu's medicine cabinet is on the bottom floor, and there are still two sun-dried dream orchids, right?" There's also another one of the dragon knots. ”
When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, the beads of sweat on his forehead became more and more; "This ...... How do you know ......?"
"Shopkeeper Liu's reaction like this, thinking about Yunchuan is not nonsense. I just heard what Shopkeeper Liu said, this dream orchid and dragon knot herb are scarce, and now they have become things that Beijing wants, I'm afraid that it will be tricky for you to keep it, so it's better to sell it to me, so as not to keep it yourself," Su Qingci smiled like a fox who had only become a fine fox, "Did you say it?" ”
Seeing that Shopkeeper Liu was silent, Su Qingci's smile became more sincere: "I'll pay double the price." ”
After leaving the medicinal herb shop, Meng Ying'an frowned and looked at Su Qingci, who was holding the box containing medicinal herbs in his arms in front of him, and was happily talking to Yunchuan, and had doubts in his heart.
"Miss Sue." He opened his mouth to stop Su Qingci.
"Captain Meng, what's wrong?" Su Qingci, who had obtained the medicinal herbs, was happy in his heart, and his attitude was even better, "But what do you have to buy?" ”
"No, I'm just curious, is it the use of Miss Su spending a lot of money on this thing?"
"Ah, didn't I tell Captain Meng?" Su Qingci blinked, "This is a necessary thing for the third prince to cure his illness, without them, it will be much more troublesome." ”
Meng Ying'an was even more surprised.
She spent so much effort and so much money, did she really just want to treat Ji Yanzhou?
