Chapter 427： head off

Chapter 427 The matter of losing his head

Jian Jia bit her lip, and did not hide it from the young lady, and briefly described her encounter and acquaintance with Qi He from beginning to end.

"The maidservant went to the Yang Palace at the age of twelve..."

Jian Jia's eyes turned red as she spoke, raised her hand to wipe the tears at the end of her eyes, and then talked about what happened yesterday: "Mr. If there is anything, I broke up with him yesterday."

Jiaojiao heard this, and there was some emotion between her eyebrows and eyes. It was really like the one in the picture book, people who love each other, but they can't stay together forever.

Jian Jia finally said that she had cut off contact, so it must be true.

She glanced at Miaomiao, and Jian Jia said she would not contact her again, so she didn't have to ask any more.

Meowed and reminded: "Jiaojiao, you have to give Jian Jia a guarantee, otherwise what will happen if the old relationship rekindles in the future."

Jiaojiao choked, how can people be assured of this kind of thing, now that Jian Jia has finished talking, she will definitely say the same thing if she asks again, but she seems a little distrustful.

Jiaojiao's emotions are immediately reflected on her face. Jian Jia has served the lady for many years, and she can know what the lady is thinking by observing her words and expressions.

She knows that she has violated the regulations, and the master will not let her go, so why bother to make the young lady worry about it now.

Jian Jia smiled calmly, and said seriously: "Miss, you don't have to worry about the servant, the servant has gone out to hide for two days, and will come back to serve you in a different identity."

Give up her current identity, and when Miss gets used to the new slave, she will go where she should go.

Jian Jia's expression and words are tight, Jiaojiao heard it and didn't doubt it.

I also think this method is feasible. When I change my identity, Jian Jia who is involved with the Yang Palace will disappear, and then let Jian Jia change to be by my side.

Jiaojiao and Miaomiao smiled, and then said with a smile: "Jian Jia is really smart, then let's try this method."

Jian Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "Okay, the servant girl will go out tomorrow, and the lady will bring the servant girl back after a few days."

Jiaojiao nodded, "OK."

But Miaomiao glanced at Jian Jia, she probably didn't just go out and hide for two days... Since Rong Yan made such a mistake, punishment must be inevitable.

Thinking of Rong Yan's tricks when they first met, Miaomiao shuddered.

Jian Jia is Jiaojiao's favorite maid, Rong Yan will punish Jiaojiao lightly for her sake...

…

Baoya Mengjun brought back a very famous matchmaker, Qiusheng went to the Imperial College again, and asked the old master to also go to the Sifu.

The letter of appointment must be handed over to the host by a prestigious person, and then explained by the matchmaker.

After lunch,

Liu Zhihua and Wang Zhuangzhi dressed appropriately and followed the matchmaker to the Si family, while Qiu Sheng drove a carriage to pick up the teacher.

Bao Ya also wanted to join in the fun, but it was not good to follow too many people, so she asked Meng Jun to take her to a teahouse near Si's house and wait.

In this way, when the parents come out, they can hear the news as soon as possible.

When going out,

Bao Ya went to ask Jiaojiao to come with her, but Jiaojiao said that she was going to find a good medicine, but she would not go today.

Bao Ya knew that the little girl was a fan of medicinal materials, so she smiled and told the servant girls a few words.

"You must take good care of the young lady when you travel, and report to the teahouse next to the Sifu in time if you encounter any problems."

The little servants and maids responded one after another: "Yes."

The servants of the Zhuangyuan Mansion have been in the mansion these days, among other things, the favored degree of this fourth lady alone is enough to shock.

The whole family dotes on it, the guests from outside also dote on it, even the nobles in the palace dote on it, and they dare not neglect them even if they have ten guts.

…

good medicine,

The large wooden table was covered with ledgers, and Song Dong was furiously writing records.

"Shopkeeper, why did you suddenly have to deal with so many books today." The drug boy grinding beside him asked cautiously.

Song Dong replied casually: "I have something to do in two days."

Right now, the eldest son's dowry is very important, and the pharmacy must be settled in advance, so that he can concentrate on handling the dowry.

Yaotong looked at the books piled up on the table, hesitant to speak, so much that he couldn't catch up until tomorrow.

Footsteps came from the wooden stairs, and the resonant voice of the drug boy sounded from the stairs.

"The shopkeeper, the wife of the Rong Mansion came to visit and said she wanted to see you."

Song Dong was taken aback for a moment, then put down his pen, and hurriedly got up to meet people with Yaotong.

…

guest rooms,

Mother Rong and Rong Qinglan were sitting drinking tea and waiting for others.

Mother Rong is wearing a cyan beige with colorful makeup, slender phoenix eyes, fair skin, and only a pair of white jade hairpins in her hair bun, making her dress graceful and grand.

Rong Qinglan on the side wore a lotus-white woven gold smoked brocade dress, and a slender emerald gold skirt wrapped in silk on her hair was shining brightly, showing a bit of sassy momentum in her elegance and dignity.

"Qing Lan, what kind of medicine do you want to buy when you see shopkeeper Rong?" Mother Rong asked in a low voice.

My daughter has never said what to buy. She was still thinking on the way just now, maybe Qinglan is not easy to get pregnant, and she doesn't want to worry them, so she plans to buy medicine with her in private.

Rong Qinglan rubbed her temples helplessly, and her mother has asked her no less than three times since home.

"Mother, these are really common medicinal materials. Chicheng's supplies are not sufficient. It's true to prepare more medicinal materials. Don't think about it."

The medicinal materials she bought cannot be passed on to the outside world. It would be a crime of contempt to let people with bad intentions know about it.

Pianiang just wanted to find out, and almost thought that there was something wrong between her and Hanqing.

Mother Rong didn’t believe it. Her daughter was always generous and didn’t hide anything. She just told her servants to buy any medicinal materials she wanted, and she didn’t answer directly when asked.

Could it be that Hanqing has a problem?

"Madam Rong is here, Song Dong is late, please forgive me."

A refreshing male voice came from outside the door.

Rong Qinglan looked up at the person coming.

The man is slender, wearing a brocade blue robe, looks handsome, and has a very elegant smile.

Saluted the two of them respectfully.

Rong Qinglan nodded, never thinking that this shopkeeper is so young.

Mother Rong waved her hands with a smile, and said gently: "Shopkeeper Song is polite, the matter is urgent, I didn't notify in advance, it's better not to disturb the shopkeeper."

Song Dong hurriedly shook his head, and said respectfully: "I'm not bothering you, what do you want Madam to order?"

Mother Rong pointed to her daughter beside her, and introduced her with a smile: "This is my second daughter. She went home to visit her relatives recently. She said she wanted to buy some medicinal materials, so I brought them here."

Rong Qinglan and Song Dong nodded, and called out: "Master Song."

Song Dong has been doing business all over the years, including all kinds of strange tales and gossips in the capital, so he naturally knows this strange woman, the Second Miss of the Rong family.

He looked shocked, and hurriedly bent down and said respectfully: "I have met City Lord Rong."

Rong Qinglan never thought that he knew his identity. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "I won't mention the identity of the city lord when I'm out. Shopkeeper Song please hurry up."

"Yes." Song Dong stood up with a smile, thinking a little more in his mind, it seems that the medicine that Rong Cheng mainly bought was unusual.

"Shopkeeper Song, don't be restrained. Let's sit down and talk slowly about medicinal materials." Rong Qinglan looked at him with a sincere smile.

After that, Rong Qinglan looked at her mother again, and said, "Mother, I will discuss something with shopkeeper Song later, and you can ask the servant girl to take her for a stroll outside."

Mother Rong became more and more sure that her daughter and son-in-law had something to hide, probably because she was embarrassed to let others know.

Rong's mother was full of thoughts, but she smiled and nodded on the surface: "Okay, mother, go outside to see if there is any fresh scented tea, and you can talk about things here."

Let your mother go away,

Rong Qinglan looked at the person, said calmly, "Shopkeeper Song, I don't want you to beat around the bush, I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

Song Dong heard this, and replied with a smile: "Please tell me, Lord Rong."

Rong Qinglan went straight to the point, and said directly: "The medical materials in Chicheng under my control are in short supply, and the medicinal materials sent by the court cannot be used, so I want to buy a large amount of medicinal materials from Shopkeeper Song, including golden sore medicine and a large amount of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicinal materials. It's higher than the market, I don't know what Shopkeeper Song wants?"

Song Dong's eyelids twitched when he heard that, this was really a big problem for him.

Two months ago, the imperial court promulgated new regulations, pharmacies are not allowed to sell a large amount of these medicinal materials privately, so he naturally did not dare to confront the imperial court.

The eldest son is now the number one scholar, so the property under the Wang family's name should not be involved in these things.

It's just that the owner of Rongcheng is the elder sister of the national teacher, and the national teacher has a close relationship with the Wang family. He is really in a dilemma right now, and he really can't be the master.

Song Dong's face was light, and he said respectfully: "I think the Lord Rong also knows the new court rules. This is a matter of losing his head."

Rong Qinglan knew about it naturally, that's why she came to discuss with him in person today.

"Shopkeeper Song, don't worry. Every time I go back to Beijing to visit relatives, I will bring a lot of special products and clothing and jewelry when I leave Beijing. There are about 20 large boxes, which are enough to store these medicinal materials. As long as Shopkeeper Song is willing to sell them to me, don't worry about the rest , I guarantee that your pharmacy will not be involved."

The reason why Rong Qinglan dared to say these big words was because she knew about some of Brother's influence. Besides, the imperial city was in chaos and the emperor was seriously injured. It was easy for her to transport medicinal materials out of Beijing.

Song Dong hesitated to speak, it is not easy for good medicine to gain a firm foothold, and it is even more difficult for the young master to manage it painstakingly.

But he couldn't refuse directly, so he got up and said: "I am just a small manager, and I really can't be the master of such a big matter. Please allow me to report to the Patriarch and give you an answer."

Rong Qinglan sighed when she heard this. Although she knew that the probability of this matter was not high, she still had some expectations in her heart, and her current hope could only be placed here.

"When shopkeeper Song is passing on the message, remember to pass on another sentence. Excluding the purchase price that is higher than the market price, I will offer an extra five hundred taels of gold, and Chi Chengrong Qinglan owes him a favor."

Song Dong's eyelids trembled slightly, not to mention five hundred taels of gold, just a favor is enough to pay for many things, he respectfully replied: "Yes, Song Dong will definitely convey it truthfully."

Rong Qinglan got up and said to him: "There is shopkeeper Lao Song, I will come again tomorrow."

Song Dong nodded, and sent him out the door respectfully.

As soon as the two of them reached the gate one after the other, they met Jiaojiao who got off the carriage with the cat in her arms.

Rong Qinglan was taken aback, this little girl also came to buy medicine.

Song Dong's expression softened at the back, and he walked towards the lady to help him, and asked, "Miss, why are you free to come to the pharmacy today?"

Jiaojiao struggled to hug Miaomiao, smiled and said to Song Dong: "Brother Song, my parents and the others have gone out. I am bored at home by myself, so I came to the shop to find you to play with."

Song Dong smiled lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take the young lady to look at the new shelf. It's the pills that can be eaten directly on the shelves yesterday. The young lady can help me give some pointers."

"OK."

Jiaojiao just finished answering, when she raised her eyes and saw Rong Qinglan on the steps, her eyes widened in surprise, why is brother Yan's sister here?

Out of politeness, Jiaojiao quickly saluted, and called out in a pretty voice, "Sister Qinglan."

Rong Qinglan smiled at her, walked closer and patted her head, "It's really fate, I met Jiaojiao here."

What is even more surprising is that this pharmacy seems to have a lot to do with this little girl's family.

Jiaojiao smiled with puffy cheeks, looked at the pharmacy behind her, then at sister Qinglan, and asked casually, "Sister Qinglan, do you want to buy medicine?"

Song Dong who was behind him pursed his lips when he heard that, he never imagined that the Lord Rong actually met the lady, the lady is pure and kind, if the Lord Rong used this as an excuse, the lady would definitely intercede with the young master, and the young master has always loved the young lady...

Song Dong was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard Rong Qinglan's sassy voice.

"My sister doesn't buy medicine, so I just have time to go here with my mother today."

Since she has already regarded the little girl as her own family, she will naturally not use her name to make things happen. Besides, if the pharmacy is really in charge of the Wang family, it must be a waste of effort for a family of ordinary people to do this. embarrassing.

Rong Qinglan finished speaking with a smile, rubbed the little girl's face, and said happily: "Jiaojiao, let's go shopping, sister, go look for my mother, or I will get lost in a while."

When she heard that she was lost, Jiaojiao was startled, her **** and white eyes were full of worry, she hurriedly said: "Sister, aunt doesn't know the way? How about Jiaojiao help us to find it together."

Rong Qinglan laughed when she heard this, and joked: "Silly girl, my sister is teasing you. Your aunt grew up in the capital since she was a child. She knows every street and every tree here, so you can't lose it."

Jiaojiao blushed, and Meow in her arms looked speechless.

As expected of that guy Rong Yan's elder sister, it's not that the whole family will make fun of others if they don't enter the house.

Seeing how familiar the lady is, Song Dong took the initiative to invite: "Master Rong, Mrs. Rong hasn't come back from shopping, in case the two of you go astray, why don't you take a rest in the guest room and have some tea and snacks, Madam will probably be there soon Get it back."

Jiaojiao also nodded and smiled, and invited: "Brother Song is right, Sister Qinglan will go to the guest room with me to sit down, so as not to go out and go wrong with my aunt, it would be a waste of time."

Rong Qinglan glanced at the street. The street here is bustling and lively, but it is also intricately repaired. She is out all year round, and she really doesn't know where to go to find people, so she smiled and said: "Okay, then listen Delicate."

After finishing speaking, a group of people walked into the pharmacy.

Song Dong ordered people to go to the dining building in front to buy pastries, while he went to the pharmacy himself, fetched different kinds of dried flowers, prepared the beauty scented tea suitable for women according to the dosage, and sent the brewed scented tea to the guest room.
