As soon as Shan Zhao arrived at the barracks, he was pulled back by Ye Jielu without even drinking saliva, Shan Zhao saw that he was really angry with a cold face, and hurriedly explained the matter clearly.

Shan Zhao's mouth was dry, and Ye Jielu's face eased up, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I know." ”

Ming Lanying ordered a few girls at random according to the highest price, and let people release the news, the princess felt that the girls were very good, she was very satisfied, and intended to invite them to come to the palace again in five days.

Before they could rejoice, they saw Ye Jielu galloping back on horseback.

The horse's hooves stepped through the street, and the people on the side of the road saw his condensed face, and their hearts trembled with murderous aura.

As soon as the subordinates saw that the prince was back, they hurriedly went to report to Ming Lanying.

Ye Jielu hurriedly entered the main courtyard, and Hebai, who rushed to hear the sound, only had time to see his hurried back, and Shan Zhao, who was tired like a dog behind him, raised his foot and kicked him in disgust.

"Hey! No way? To spread a message is like this? ”

Shan Zhao glared at her, raised his hand to pat her feet, stretched out his hand to ask for water with a dry mouth, and the subordinate on the side hurriedly handed over a pot of water, and Shan Zhao took it and poured a pot directly to relieve his breath.

"You're vain! Master, I'm fine with singing every night! I've been on the road for days without sleep, and you're weaker than me! When the prince heard that the princess's sister-in-law was going to give him twenty concubines, his face darkened, and he was tsk-tsk-fortunately, I explained it quickly. ”

Hebai pointed to the closed gate of the main courtyard in surprise, "Then he hurriedly entered just now and closed the door, it can't be the angry sister-in-law who made his own opinion, right?" My brother is still angry on the way back? ”

Shan Zhao scratched his head and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

"No, I'll take a look, but don't hit my sister-in-law."

Hebai climbed over the wall and went up to the roof, and Shan Zhao followed closely behind, and as soon as the two of them got on the roof, they heard a whimper from the house.

Although Shan Zhao had never eaten pork, he had heard pigs barking, and his ears were very sensitive and he heard suspicious sounds of water and wheezing, and his face immediately changed, and he was a little unnaturally blushing.

Hebai thought that his brother had really done it, so he still covered his mouth and beat him, and was about to rush in immediately, but Shan Zhao hurriedly grabbed her, covered his mouth and dragged him away.

"Mmmm

Hebai looked at him in disbelief, and Shan Zhao blushed and awkwardly dragged the person to the garden before letting go.

Tsurubai pushed him away violently, "What are you doing!" I'm going to save my sister-in-law! ”

Shan Zhao grabbed her, his face was a little inexplicably crimson, "You, don't go first, the prince didn't do anything!" Wait an hour...... Or two hours! They came out, and they were fine anyway! Don't meddle with the little ones! ”

Tsurubai was confused, "What are you talking about?" Why wait two hours? My brother is not light or heavy, and my sister-in-law is delicate and expensive without beating! What are you waiting for if you don't save it now! If it's too late, people will be broken! ”

Shan Zhao didn't know how to explain the latter words, and pulled her with a red face.

"Can't go anyway!"

"What are you crazy about? My brother has done it! ”

"The prince didn't do anything! The prince moves his mouth! ”

Tsurubai: "............ Ha?? ”

Shan Zhao didn't know what his brain had made up, his handsome face was already red, and Hebai was stunned.

"Mouthful? Did they quarrel? ”

Shan Zhao looked at Shang Hebai's clear and somewhat stupid eyes, and the heat in his heart instantly went out.

Helplessly, he raised his hand and rubbed her hair, "You still forget it, for your own good, wait here, rushing in will ruin the good things of the prince." ”

"Speak clearly, what do you do with your hands and feet!"

The two of them also went on a mission together, knowing that Shan Zhao would not harm her, so she didn't rush in because she was curious, and she fought with him with her teeth and claws.

Halfway through the fight, the two who had disappeared for a quarter of an hour suddenly appeared, and they were so frightened that they were caught by Hebai and fell down.

Hebai straddled him, pressed his neck with one hand, grabbed his arm with the other, and laughed triumphantly.

"Stinky boy, be held down by your aunt! Let you ruin your aunt's hairstyle! ”

Hebai broke his bun with his hand, and Shan Zhao hurriedly writhed and struggled.

"You! You get out of the way! The prince and princess are out! ”

Hebai was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw Ye Jielu and Ming Lanying standing not far away, Ming Lanying looked at the two people who were playing playfully, and whistled a hooligan.

"You two have a good relationship! They can roll in the garden, like a big cat that has not been weaned. ”

Shan Zhao immediately blushed, "Lord Wang, why did you ...... so quickly?" Came out? ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Otherwise?" We'll just talk about it. ”

If the lips of the two were not so bright and the tails of their eyes were not red, Shan Zhao would have to believe her words.

Shan Zhao's suspicious eyes wandered on Ye Jielu's body, Ye Jielu frowned, and always felt that his eyes were very subtle, subtle and unpleasant.

"Seeing that you have a good relationship now, you won't withdraw from the marriage, so as not to worry General Shan."

"Hey!" Before Shan Zhao could speak, Hebai exclaimed in surprise and quickly got up from him, "That's not good!" One yard to one yard! How can brothers become husband and wife! ”

Shan Zhao looked at Hebai with a strange expression, "Yes......"

Hebai didn't realize it, and still glanced at Ming Lanying, "Sister-in-law, did you quarrel?" Did my brother hit you? ”

"Why did he hit me?" Ming Lanying looked at them strangely, "Okay, it's just that he's back, you can do things directly, don't be idle, take someone to help." ”

"Oh."

Hebai scratched his head and looked back and forth between the two, always feeling that something strange was between the two.

The prince came back, and Ming Lanying just invited the selected eight girls to have a meal again, and said that she would perform in front of the prince once before entering the mansion to leave an impression on the prince.

Ye Juelu looked at her with a smile, "Eight? The lady can't bear the loneliness so much, and found eight people to accompany you? ”

Ming Lanying smiled, "No way, they gave too much." ”

Ye Jielu bit her angrily, and said in a low voice: "Wait until you are willing...... I'll clean you up again! ”

Ming Lanying pinched his waist, but he didn't pinch the meat, only the muscles that were tight enough to squeeze his hands.

She is not a person who is heavy on desire, not to mention that she and Ye Jielu are in the stage of love now, and the little bit of reserve and hypocrisy in her heart makes her not want him to succeed so easily.

The news that Hebai personally went to deliver did not leak his mouth, and the eight girls came to the palace again on the second day, arousing the envy and jealousy of other people who knew the inside story but were not selected.

The lake in the palace is very large, big enough to leisurely raft around the lake, the water surface clearly reflects the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze blows, the water surface is flooded with bursts of fine ripples, sparkling.

Minglan warbler set up a banquet in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the sparkling waves and sunlight on the water surface are refracted on the glazed tiles, and the shallow water ripples are also reflected on the pillars in the pavilion, and the light yarn flutters with the wind, gentle and romantic.

Ye Jielu sat next to Ming Lanying, and without saying a word, the girls blushed, Ming Lanying introduced the girls to Ye Jielu one by one, and asked them to show Ye Jielu their housekeeping skills.

The girls riveted their performance, and their eyelids were about to twitch, but Ye Jielu still gave Ming Lanying vegetables without changing his face, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.

After the one-person performance, he began to provoke mercilessly, and the girls who said it couldn't hold back their expressions and were about to cry.

"The rouge smell is heavier than the Qinglou Oiran, the movements are too stiff, and it's more zombie-like, don't."

"With a disheveled hair and a distorted expression, like a female ghost, do you want to scare this king to death?"

"The voice is hoarse and ugly, and the wild ducks are better than you, shut up."

"The hands are like chicken paws, and the handwriting is not as good as Ning'er, go home and practice."

"Playing chess? This king doesn't have time to play chess with you, who will show you a straight face? Go out and find someone to play chess with you. ”

"Wearing so little? Did you get a cold and infect the princess? Drag it out. ”

Of the eight girls, none of them had his good face, and they all looked at Ming Lanying aggrieved and wanted to cry without tears.

Ming Lan Ying: "......"

Ye Jielu glanced at her, and said: "If the princess chooses these goods for this king, then there is no need to carry them into the mansion, this king is not hungry enough to attack useless things." ”

The girls immediately broke the defense, covered their faces and cried quietly, but they didn't dare to scold him directly, they were originally climbing, so they could only whisper and chatter, "Woo woo woo - the prince is too deceitful!" ”

Ming Lanying ended helplessly for him, bowed down in front of everyone and apologized to Ye Jielu, and coaxed the girls in a good voice, asking Steward Wang to pick some superfluous and useless things from the treasury as small gifts to comfort their wounded hearts.

After sending her away one by one, as soon as the door closed, Ye Jielu immediately took her back to the room and hurried to whisper.

The fighting on the front line had just stopped, but it was not over, and he did not have so much time to stay in the palace, and after two days of rest, he had to rush back to confront the generals of the neighboring countries.

Ming Lanying was also worried that this matter would affect the girls to talk about family affairs later, and Mama Cai smiled faintly.

"The princess is too worried, you only released a message to praise the good of these girls, invited them to come to the palace as guests to drink tea, and did not release the news to carry them into the palace as concubines, it has no impact on them, maybe it will help them to say that they have more family affairs, after all, it is a good girl that Princess Yanbei is satisfied with."

Ming Lanying was relieved now, no one was staring at the backyard of the palace now, and she also took the opportunity to make a profit, plus some of the funds that Ming Langtao also paid.

With funds in hand, Ming Lanying immediately arranged for Steward Wang and Mama Cai in the front yard to take Meng Huaisu to talk about the purchase of the medicinal herb shop.

Ming Lanying was busy sorting out the accounts of the stolen money, how to use it was a matter for Ming Langtao and Ye Juelu, she was just a person in charge of the accounts, and she didn't care about it after spending a few days sorting it out.

Concentrate on studying the acquisition of pharmacies, she only accepts pharmacies and not medical centers, and Zhao Lao pointed out a few small pharmacies that are easy to talk about.

"There are people behind the big pharmacy, it's not easy to collect, the price is still high, it's better to charge more small pharmacy, it's similar to the big pharmacy, and there are more herbs in the shop, and the small pharmacy also has a fixed supply of herbs, the quality of these medicinal materials is better than that of the big pharmacy, use more thought, don't have to stumble on the big pharmacy."

Ming Lanying felt that it made sense, she just wanted to stock up on medicinal materials, relying on the medicinal materials accumulated by Dongxia and Zhao Lao, which was far from enough for the front-line consumption, and the more medicinal herb shops the better.

The purchased pharmacy will not all be replaced, the pharmacy shopkeeper can be retained, the quality of medicinal materials is very important, but the pharmacy shopkeeper is re-employed, and the pharmacy will be in her name in the future, and the losses and profits will naturally belong to her.

Yanzhou is quite large, several towns and villages are not too far apart, there are more than 30 large and small pharmacies, the big pharmacies Ming Lanying doesn't care, the small pharmacies are not left, and the more than 20 small pharmacies are all collected, and the people in the shops can keep all the deeds.

More than 20 small pharmacies were integrated, and their own people were left to help take care of and follow up the transportation of medicinal materials, and they were busy for a while, and there were signs in autumn.

Ming Lanying began to be busy calculating the accounts of these pharmacies again, and also preparing the future plans of the pharmacies, and consulted Zhao Lao and Dongxia from time to time.

Dong Xia scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, I only know how to use medicinal materials and cure diseases, and I don't understand the planning of this pharmacy!" ”

Ming Lanying pulled her to sit down, and said earnestly: "I don't understand either, I don't know how to use medicinal materials and cure diseases, isn't this to discuss with you, a knowledgeable person!" The pharmacy is mainly to procure, concoct, store, and sell medicinal materials, but in what season what herbs are more or less, and the value of medicinal herbs, I don't know anything about these, so let's think about it together, so that these herbs are getting better and better! ”

Dongxia thought about it and nodded in agreement, she didn't know how to run a pharmacy, but she still knew about medicinal materials, after all, she had been dealing with medicinal materials and medical skills for generations.

She has only learned half of Zhao Lao's medical skills, and minor illnesses are not a problem, but major illnesses or incurable diseases are a bit hanging, but recognizing medicinal materials is earlier than recognizing words, and she is proficient in seven, seven, eight, eight.

Ming Lanying took the account and discussed the origin, value and storage method with Dong Xia one by one with the medicinal materials on the account.

When Zhao Lao saw the surging winter and summer, when he talked about the familiar fields of winter and summer, the whole person became confident and stroked his beard with relief.

Since following Ming Lanying, Dong Xia is no longer a submissive little character, even if she gets married, she will follow Ming Lanying and Hebai to play crazy together, Ming Lanying's good, she will not shirk and refuse now, but keep it in mind, and redouble her efforts to be good to her.

In the evening, Meng Huai followed the winter and summer, and only saw the two people muttering in a stack of paper ledgers.

Zhao Lao motioned to him not to speak up yet, "Ming girl is busy with the affairs of the pharmacy, discussing medicinal materials with Dong Xia, you wait first, they are almost over with a copy in their hands." ”

Meng Huaisu nodded, "It is indeed a good time for the princess to buy the medicine shop, the military food and armaments are enough, but the number and type of supply medicinal materials sent by the emperor are not enough, the battle in front has changed, in order not to cause more casualties, only we can supply medicinal materials in the rear." ”

Zhao Lao squinted, "Is there a change ahead?" The new emperor of the neighboring country has come up with a plan. ”

Meng Huaisu said in a low voice: "The Tuoba general of the neighboring country didn't want to fight with us, so he made a show because of the pressure from above, and was discovered by their new emperor. General Tuoba has a heavy army, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the military power can not be recovered for the time being, the military spirit is not stable, the new emperor did not dare to do anything to the general Tuoba general, so he arrested his family and threatened. ”
