Chapter 287 Distributing ill-gotten wealth
"Why is her house still planted?"
"Huh? The house in Tianshui Town is also growing. You can rest assured that you can eat the vegetables you grow at home. Let's go, I'll take you to have a look."
The two came to the edge of the field, "Wow, this is the first time I have seen such a farm, it looks like a flower, a vegetable field, the surroundings are so beautiful, what is this?"
"Eggplant, this is beans, this is cucumber, this is leek, this is strawberry, this is garlic, this is green onion, this is ginger,"
"Wait, why do you know everything?"
"When you marry in, you have to take care of the farming work, otherwise, you won't be able to get into the eyes of your aunt."
"My God, you don't look like a princess, but a village girl"
"I'd rather be a village girl. Although you don't believe what I say, but if you listen to it, listen to me. You must marry in. There are only advantages and no disadvantages."
Xiao Qingling pursed her lips, "Marriage is a big deal, parents decide, I have a good impression of that Yun'er, but I can't listen to you, just like this casually."
"Of course not casually. As long as the two of you are willing, then I, the matchmaker, will naturally ask the two families to walk around and formally talk about marriage?"
Xiao Qingling blushed and did not continue this topic.
Silence expresses acquiescence. Miss Mu strikes while the iron is hot, and first asks Qiao Mai for instructions. Seeing that her aunt has no objection, she invites the official wife to Xiao's house to talk about marriage first.
When the Xiao family heard that it was Mr. Yuan's family who was an upstart, and that he was also young general Yun and his wife, they were naturally very satisfied.
Then the matchmaker went to Qiao's house again. Originally, the two families were interesting, so under the advice of the matchmaker, the two adults met.
The two children were also allowed to talk alone, and then their marriage was finalized.
The marriage proposal meeting will not be held until after the scientific examination is over. During this time, everyone is also paying close attention to this matter.
At this juncture, the capital is crowded with people.
Calvary’s inn was overcrowded, and Nanny Jin took Ling’er back home and came to the backyard, looking at Qiao Mai disappointedly.
"Mother, there are too many people in the capital, it's really not as quiet as the small town,"
"Isn't it that the students are rushing to take the exam? What's wrong?"
"There is no suitable store, what should I do?"
Qiao Mai took them to the gate of his courtyard, looked around, "How about we build the facade ourselves? It happens that mother also runs a snack shop in the capital, the shop on the left is for mother, and the shop on the right is for you to use?"
"Hey, the kitchen is good, how long will it take to build it?"
"Up to two months, just a shop, soon"
"Then shall we go to Jakarta?"
"Okay, entrust them, mother to find a good place, so that you, a girl, can also enter the shop and let it go."
"Is it convenient for us?"
Just like that, while Chuan'er was preparing for the exam, not far from both sides of the Qiao family compound, a shop began to be used.
Yahang attached great importance to this job after receiving this job. They hoped to see new materials in this construction, but unfortunately, no!
The foreman was still quietly inquiring, but he was very disappointed in the result. Qiao Mai said that the materials were all shipped from overseas, and they were used up long ago, and they didn't even want to buy them at a high price.
March 26th, Yuan Jiaqi, Qiao Mai, the old man and the old lady, Fengyun, Linger, all got up early to send Chuaner into the examination room.
He is the only one in the family who has failed. After another year of examination, as long as he wins Jinshi, the old man can easily retire.
Seeing that Chuan'er entered the examination room, Fengyun decided to take up the post, the old man accompanied the old lady to visit, and Yuan Jiaqi also went to take up the post.
At the entrance of the examination room, there were only Qiao Mai, Linger and Madam Jin left.
"Mother, they have something to do, why don't we go shopping?"
Qiao Mai thought about the Mingshi Medical Center in Tianshui Town, so he took her hand, "Okay, then look around."
She brought the two of them to the medical center first, and asked directly at the counter, "Shopkeeper, is there any fever-reducing medicine for children?"
"Yes, one tael of silver per bag,"
Qiao Mai's face gradually darkened, "Is there any medicine for cough and cold?"
"Yes, it's one tael of silver per pack"
"One package for the same"
"good class"
The shopkeeper wrapped up the medicine, and Nanny Jin handed over two taels of silver, and Qiao Mai turned around and walked out with the medicine bag.
She was at the entrance of the medical center, opened the medicine bag and smelled it, then pinched a pinch and licked it. These are her two prescriptions, which are not adulterated at all.
Okay, the two prescriptions she gave away for free are used by these unscrupulous people to make a profit, and it is a huge profit.
Well, it’s a piece of shit, one tael of silver a bag, how can poor people afford it, that bastard, promised me that he would serve the people wholeheartedly if he got the prescription.
She was busy for a while, and she was negligent for a while, and she became like this.
Qiao Mai suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and accompanied Linger to wander around the capital. Linger didn't have a hobby of shopping, she only liked looking at rare items, so she didn't buy anything along the way.
The three of them were dressed in very ordinary clothes. Nanny Jin held Linger's hand in front, and Qiao Mai followed behind them with his hands behind his back, acting as their bodyguards.
Don't look at her with her back behind them, looking around seemingly bored, but her heart is as cold as ice.
She had never inquired about Mingren Hospital, nor did she know who was behind it.
However, for such a big matter, this boss actually did this, so don't blame her for being cruel.
Along the way, she noticed that there was a small sign at the entrance of Mingren Medical Center, even on their carriage.
Liu!
Those who were able to open medical clinics to the Ming Dynasty were generally from medical families, and the families generally only had imperial doctors in the palace, and they had to be senior imperial doctors.
The three of them didn't go home at noon, so they found an elegant teahouse to sit down and rest, eating and drinking while watching.
Nurse Jin was still explaining to Linger, while Qiao Mai looked around while drinking tea.
There are few people in the tea house at the moment, but no one will come here at noon for those who are serious about eating.
Those who are discussing business are also in the restaurant at this time, but there are also a few tables of guests.
In these years, Qiao Mai has been very patient in raising children. No matter how angry he is in his heart, it is calm on the surface.
I didn't hear a ghost in the teahouse all afternoon.
After the three of them returned home, it happened that the Yuan family was resigned.
The husband and wife sat down and chatted, "Sir, do you know who opened the Mingren Medical Center?"
"Liu Yuyi, he is a doctor who specializes in treating the emperor alone, and inherits the family"
"Sure enough"
"What's wrong, lady?"
"A year ago, the doctor in their clinic asked me for two prescriptions. One was for children to reduce fever and the other was for treating typhoid fever. They said they wanted to do practical things for the common people. I went to see their clinic in the morning. When you look at it, one tael of silver is a small bag, which is the amount of a meal."
Yuan Jiaqi was also a little shocked, "So expensive?"
"Yes, take the prescription I gave you and make ill-gotten gains, **** it!"
"My lady, don't be impulsive. I heard that Doctor Liu has a good character."
"Are you afraid that I will kill him?"
"No, I mean to see first, if it is really him, death is not a pity."
Qiao Maimi rolled her eyes, and Yuan Jiaqi quickly poured her a cup of tea, "My husband just thinks that human life is at stake, and it won't be too late to sentence him to death after we find out."
"Hmph, how could they die so easily? There was a war at the border. I saw that the Mingren Medical Center didn't do anything. It's just a tool for making money. It's nothing but a pot to help the world, shit!"
The Yuan family saw that the lady really lost her temper, so naturally they would not speak well of the medical clinic.
That night, when he got up at night, he saw the empty space around him, so he knew it was broken, and the lady was about to make a move.
So he lit a candle, and sat on the edge of the kang table all night, reading a book and waiting for his wife.
In the early morning, a figure walked in.
"Why didn't you sleep?"
"Waiting for a lady"
"In the future, I will sleep when I should. I just went out for a stroll, and I didn't kill anyone!"
"That is?"
"The Ming Dynasty is not the only family of Mingren Medical Center. I have given out both prescriptions. I want to see how the Liu family will deal with it."
The Yuan family breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is!"
