Xiao Rong was deeply stunned, he didn't believe Yuanxi's reaction. It's just that she can still laugh so calmly when she hears the news, unless she doesn't believe it at all, or her city government is too deep, but she is just a sixteen-year-old girl, can she have a city government?

"The county lord doesn't believe it?" Xiao Rongshen said tentatively.

"Letter, you are the eldest son of the emperor, will what you say be false?" Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Your Highness, do you have anything else? If not, go back and raise silver, four thousand taels, I will wait for the money." ”

After the eviction order, Xiao Rongshen couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and went out.

Yuan Xi casually spilled the tea in his cup and put it on Ling'er's tea tray. Ling'er felt a little bottomless in her heart, like a song of wind breaking through the thick clouds, Ling'er asked softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Yuan Xi glanced at her indifferently: "Go and throw this teacup away." ”

"Miss, don't take those words of the emperor's eldest son to heart, His Highness can't do that to you. Ling Ercai didn't care what the teacup was, Yuan Xi calmly made her panic, like the tranquility before the thunder, she just wanted to quickly disperse this false tranquility.

Yuan Xi sneered: "You also believe this kind of person when he speaks." ”

Yuan Xi plucked the strings of the zither, a few low, a few frivolous, a few hurried. The sound of the zither is getting faster and faster, like a torrential rain falling on the strings, confusing the mind. Suddenly stopped his hand, the string broke, curled up and shrunk at one end of the zheng.

"Ah, why is this string broken?Did you hurt your hand?" Ling'er was anxious to see her hand, Yuan Xi shook his head: "This string is not a good match, I am afraid that there is no such a thin copper string in this place, only the Songfeng Pavilion in the capital has such a thin copper string." ”

"Then I'll send a letter to the capital. Ling'er removed the broken string: "Since I can't play it, I'll put it away?"

"Well," Yuan Xi covered the zither and put it in the kite box: "Don't be too public, as if we are going out of the house, quietly send a letter to the second sister and let her match it." ”

"The owner, all the medicinal materials purchased by the six sons have been put into the warehouse, and the hundred stone salts are all in place. Liu Tianbao showed the receipt to Yuan Xi: "The owner, did we really close this medicine shop?"

"Guan, as soon as the four thousand taels of silver arrive, we will close the door. ”

The receipt voucher he got back was clearly written, not a cent of silver was bad, Yuan Xi folded the voucher and handed it to Ling'er: "Go to the lock box." ”

As soon as Ling'er left, Liu Tianbao followed: "Owner, let's close the pharmacy, why do we go after that? Youdao is the gold of troubled times, and the antiques of prosperous times." We are next to Donglinzhou, the world is so chaotic, antiques can't be sold at a high price, so what kind of antique shop is open? Aren't we doing a good job this month? Even Jishitang can't fight us, why don't you continue to do it?"

"What is the use of the money in the pharmacy last month? Just look at the excitement of our fight, which is called a strong outsider and a middle worker. Open a pharmacy, we can't succeed, none of us know how to do it, they are all laymen. As soon as Shopkeeper Li's finished medicine is sold out, this store will be paralyzed, will you prescribe a prescription for medicine?"

Liu Tianbao let out a long sigh: "If we don't open a pharmacy, what's the use of us buying so many medicines?"

"Eh!" Yuan Xi slapped a fan: "You can understand for me, I asked Liuzi to buy the medicine back, and you are not allowed to say it outside." If anyone leaks half a word, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"I know, but what will we rely on to make money in the future?" Liu Tianbao smiled bitterly: "It sounds good, you are avoiding marriage, and if you say it ugly, you are forced out by the clan elders." If we sit and eat empty mountains and lose all the money, how can we have the face to go back to the capital?"

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and glanced at him, this kid was talking more and more presumptuously.

"You can figure it out for me, I, Wei Yuanxi, didn't come here to live at home, I'm ......" Yuanxi stopped for a while, didn't say anything, Yuanxi shook his fan twice: "Why should I tell you?"

Shopkeeper Hu returned to the pharmacy from the entrance of the town under the big sun: "Boss, that road is estimated to be completed in three days, a total of one month, a hundred small jobs, five cents per person per day, this is the account." ”

Yuan Xi flipped through it, and there were still two injured workers in it who spent an extra silver to bandage the wounds, and the rest were nothing special. Yuan Xi nodded: "Okay, pay the silver from the west shop cabinet." ”

"Tomorrow, Jishitang's four thousand taels of silver will be sealed and moved, and I will keep it for the next time the medicine market opens, and I will enter another batch according to that medicine list. Yuan Xi counted the silver, and there were still a few hundred taels left, so he said: "The rest of the silver will be exchanged for salt according to the rules of last time." ”

"Well, I'll do it. Shopkeeper Hu took the accounts, turned his head and sighed sincerely: "Boss, you are really a good person, but you may not be a good businessman." ”

These days, there is no way out, I can't see the day of the future, Hu shopkeeper is busy every day, but he can't see the shadow of making money. For a month, he was also a little depressed.

"What do you mean by that?"

The shopkeeper touched his beard and shook his head: "You ordered Li Ji to fight with Jishitang, and you forced the price of medicine in Ankang Town back to the way it was, I admire you for having the means." But you calculate, how much silver you have lost by buying this and that these days, and the merchant makes a profit, we can't throw the silver into the water, and our old boss will never do this. ”

Yuan Xi smiled gently, closed the folding fan and said: "Shopkeeper Hu, you are a good businessman, but you can only be a small businessman for the rest of your life. ”

"I don't understand this, aren't we businessmen just to get rich?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "Shopkeeper Hu, as long as you do everything I tell you to do well, I guarantee that you will be rich all over the world." ”

Shopkeeper Hu still didn't understand, and said with a wry smile: "Rich all over the world, that's the old club's business, I just need to be rich and a township!"

......

I don't know why, this time the letter came very quickly, and in just seven days, Yuanyue's letter and the zither strings sent were delivered to Yuanxi's hand. The fine copper wire was coiled into a circle, and there were nineteen small packets in total. Cluster new, shiny.

Ling'er said with a smile: "Second Miss is really careful, she sent a circle to each string, which is enough for you." ”

Yuan Xi took the small scissors to replace the zither strings, caught a glimpse of Yuan Yue's letter, and said, "Hurry up, what did the letter say." ”

Ling'er read a few lines first, and then said with a smile: "Miss, Second Miss, she told you what was on her mind, I don't dare to look at it." ”

"What?" Yuan Xi took the letter, and Xue Tao's note was full of the smell of agarwood incense.

Yuan Xi read a few lines and couldn't help laughing: "The second sister is in love with King Baojun and wants me to be a matchmaker for her." ”

Ling'er took the zither string and wrapped it tightly, and teased: "Xi Yintang is really a blessed place, it has become the marriage of the two young ladies of our family, let's not open any pawn shops in the future, let's open a marriage hall!"

Yuan Xi couldn't hold back his laughter, and twisted Ling'er's cheeks: "You bad girl, when I marry someone else to Liu Tianbao, you will only have to cry." ”

"Miss, I know you won't. Ling'er blinked: "You look at the strings, I don't understand your rhythms, anyway, I'm tied tightly, as for the inaccurate pitch, you can try it yourself." ”

Yuan Yue couldn't suppress her admiration for Rong Run, and the sweetness of the girl's spring almost overflowed the letterhead. When Yuan Xi looked at it, the corners of his lips kept turning up slightly. Come to think of it, a person with a heavy heart like Yuan Yue can one day have a place in her heart, which is also a relief for her. I only hope that Xiao Rongrun can also communicate with her and live up to Yuan Yue's intentions.

The first few sheets of the letter were all heartfelt expressions, and only at the end of the letter, a sentence was hastily written: The happy event of King Duanjun is approaching, and I hope to be prepared.

Yuan Xi's body trembled, his face changed suddenly, and the pages of the letterhead slipped from his fingers, startling Ling'er: "Miss, are you okay?"

Yuan Xi looked at Ling'er in a trance, her thin lips were closed one by one, and her ears were buzzing and noisy, but she didn't know what was making trouble. There was only one sentence left in my mind, a happy event was coming! It was as if more than a dozen guzheng were playing at the same time, and more than a dozen tunes were roaring together, shaking people to the southeast, and there was no idea.

"Miss, are you okay?" Ling'er said, picking up the letterhead, reading it page by page, she also saw the sentence at the end, as if she was a blow to the head, and Ling'er was stupid.

Could it be that Xiao Rongshen is not lying?!

Ling'er shook her head like a rattle: "Miss, it's impossible, Your Highness won't do this to you, you see, the second miss said a happy event, not a happy event, maybe it is a happy event for His Royal Highness to change from a county king to a prince!"

Can't be wrong, can't be wrong. She had a strong premonition that what Xiao Rongshen said was all true, and it was true that he was sowing discord, but what he said was the truth.

Seeing that Yuan Xi sat for a long time, his face was expressionless, he didn't cry or get annoyed, he didn't even speak, and his hands were cold. Ling'er cried: "Miss, don't do anything stupid, the matter is still undecided, why don't you write a letter and ask Your Highness?"

Write a letter? Write a letter!

Yuan Xi finally came back to his senses: "Ling'er, bring the pen and paper." ”

Ling'er turned around step by step, studied the ink, dipped the pen, and the tip of the pen hung on the paper, but she couldn't write a word. Thinking of Sima Xiangru's unintentional poems, Yuan Xi only felt that his heart ached to the point of shrinking into a ball. With a shake of his hand, a drop of jet-black ink rubbed on the paper. Yuan Xi put down his pen, folded the white paper stained with ink a few times, put it into a brown paper envelope, and covered it with a wax seal.

"Ling'er, send the letter back immediately. ”

Ling'er saw that she was willing to wait for Xin'er, and her heart finally settled a little. He answered softly and tucked the letter into his arms.

"Come back. ”

Ling'er trembled in fright, and turned around cautiously: "Miss, what else do you command?"

Yuan Xi calmly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from the drawer: "You go and tell Shopkeeper Hu that I want him to do one more thing." Prepare fifty pounds of fire oil, and spirits will do. ”

"Miss, you didn't think about it, did you?" Ling'er took the silver ticket, like taking the life talisman of the king of Hades.

"Nope. Won-hee sat down again and hooked up the strings.

Ling'er was frightened and threw herself beside Yuanxi: "Miss, I beg you to stop playing, or you cry twice, you can beat me, I just beg you not to be like this, I feel distressed when I look at it." ”

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, just a little more bitter, and stroked Ling'er's hair: "Fool, don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't hurt myself anymore." ”
