The weather is hot, Tian Xuerong is plump, and her body sweats easily, so at this moment, there are beads of sweat on her forehead, making her look even more unique.
"Is there something urgent, Lord Marquis?" After Tian Xuerong sat down with her plump buttocks, she turned her body slightly to Qining.
Qi Ning glanced at Tian Xuerong and saw that there was no one around. He lowered his voice and chuckled: "Is it urgent to come here? I just missed my wife, so I came here to have a look."
Tian Xuerong's face was even more beautiful than peach blossoms. She bit her lips lightly and then whispered: "Master Hou, please don't joke. If someone hears you, then... that is always not good."
Qi Ning saw this beautiful woman's shy look, which was even more charming. She laughed and said softly: "I'm not joking, I thought so, but it's not because I missed my wife that I came here." He took it out from his arms. A thick pile of banknotes was placed on the table. Without waiting for Tian Xuerong to speak, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Tian Xuerong glanced at it and naturally saw that it was a banknote. She was a little surprised and frowned: "Master Hou, is this...?"
"This is 20,000 taels of silver. You can order some of it yourself and you won't go wrong." Qining put down the tea cup and pushed the silver note towards Tian Xuerong.
Tian Xuerong was even more surprised. Even though Tian's Pharmacy could be regarded as a well-known pharmacy in Beijing, twenty thousand taels of silver was still a huge amount of money for Tian's Pharmacy. Nobles have always asked for money from others, but they have never seen a noble person suddenly come up with such a huge sum of money.
After all, she was involved in the business world and was careful about everything. Qining suddenly threw out twenty thousand taels of silver. This beautiful woman was muttering in her heart and feeling a little uneasy.
"Master Hou, this... what does this mean?" Tian Xuerong felt a little panicked.
Looking at her expression, Qi Ning guessed her thoughts and teasing mood. He came closer and whispered: "Madam, do you know if 20,000 taels of silver is enough as a betrothal gift?"
"Bride price?" Tian Xuerong was even more panicked and stammered: "Hou... Lord Hou, what... what kind of gift?"
Qi Ning deliberately swept his eyes over her slender body and said softly: "Of course it's a betrothal gift for the madam."
Tian Xuerong was taken aback, and raised her arms across her chest like a reflex: "Master Hou, you... don't joke, I...!" Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I plan to marry Madam, and this is the betrothal gift. I wonder if Madam agrees?" The more Qi Ning saw Madam Tian's helpless look, the more interesting she became, and she deliberately teased.
If it were another woman, Qining might not be teasing her like this, but he and Tian Xuerong were already very familiar with each other, and they were very ambiguous in private, and he wanted to tease this woman.
Tian Xuerong bit her red lips, lowered her head and said nothing. After a moment, she said: "No... no, Lord Marquis, this... this is too sudden, and... I don't know what to say, anyway... it absolutely cannot happen."
Seeing her anxious look, Qi Ning laughed, and then said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just teasing you. The 20,000 taels of silver are for Tian's Pharmacy."
Tian Xuerong was originally heartbroken. Qining suddenly said it was a betrothal gift, which really shocked her. In panic, she believed it. For a moment, she really didn't know what to do. After hearing what Qining said, she relaxed. He took a breath and glared at Qi Ning. Then he felt something was wrong and said with a red face: "Master Hou... Master Hou, please don't make such jokes in the future."
Qi Ning smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup again, and said: "You also have the prescription. If you want to save the world, the more output, the better. I know that you want to expand production, and the money may not be enough. Just 20,000 taels of silver will be enough." If I buy shares, it’s up to you how to distribute dividends in the future.”
Tian Xuerong understood at this time, her pretty face that was already flushed instantly showed excitement, and said anxiously: "Isn't the Marquis joking? Are you really...really want to buy a stake?"
"The money is all in front of you, can't you believe it?" Qining leaned on the chair and said with a faint smile: "If you don't need it, I can take it back."
Tian Xuerong seemed to be really afraid that Qi Ning would take it back. Her white and tender hands were already pressed on the banknote, and then she felt something was wrong. She blushed and took back her hand, saying: "Master Hou... If Master Hou is really torn to the bone, I... Of course I am happy. In fact...!" He stopped talking.
"Actually what?"
"Actually, I have been thinking recently about building a medicine shop in Donghai County." Tian Xuerong seemed quite excited, her charming eyes glowing: "Among the prescriptions given by Miss Tang, there is a medicine that can treat typhoid fever. It is very effective, and there is also a medicine that is most suitable for the south, which can cure intestinal travel...!"
"Intestinal travel?" Qi Ning asked curiously: "What kind of disease is intestinal travel?"
"Intestinal travel is caused by the spread of epidemic toxins due to external infections and internal injuries due to diet." Tian Xuerong deals in medicinal materials and is very familiar with many pathologies: "It causes evil to accumulate in the intestines and abdomen, qi and blood are stagnant, conduction is lost, and abdominal pain and diarrhea are the result. Tenesmus. Once this disease attacks, febrile convulsions, many people will fall into coma and die. The humidity in the south is too heavy, and this disease spreads every year, so many people die here every year, but there has never been any Suitable drug treatment. When Miss Tang gave the prescription, she clearly stated its medicinal uses, and I called the drug Qingchang Pills."
After listening to her introduction, Qi Ning vaguely felt that the so-called intestinal dysentery should be the dysentery of later generations. Thinking about it, there was no good medicine to treat dysentery at this time. Dysentery is still considered a serious disease and can kill people. Tang Nuo gave him a prescription to treat dysentery, so what? What a great merit.
"Are you going to build a medicine shop over there in the East China Sea?"
Tian Xuerong nodded slightly: "If you build a pharmacy directly in Donghai, you can avoid the transportation from the capital to Donghai and save a lot of costs. Moreover, there are many people suffering from intestinal dysentery in Donghai, and the medicinal materials for preparing Qingchang Pills are in Donghai. You can buy it everywhere, and the price is very cheap. I carefully calculated it and found that it is very suitable to build a medicine shop in the East China Sea."
"Now that we have decided, we can build a medicine shop there." Qi Ning said with a smile: "It can not only cure diseases and save people, but also expand the reputation of Tianjia Medicine Shop. It's the best of both worlds."
Tian Xuerong smiled brightly: "I had just opened a medicine shop near the capital. I invested a lot of money, but I couldn't raise much money for a while. I thought I could only wait until next year and see. Now the Marquis has sent me a rain of money in time. With such a large sum of money, not to mention building one medicine shop, there are more than enough to build three or five." His beautiful eyes were like water, and he said softly: "If Lord Marquis allows it, I will send someone to the East China Sea in the next few days. First, Go over there and find out the news.”
"Detecting the wind?"
"Every place has its own rules." Tian Xuerong explained: "There is a local chamber of commerce over the East China Sea. My medicine store is in the capital, and I am not a member of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce. I am worried that if I open a pharmacy there, I will face difficulties."
"The purpose of building a medicine shop is to treat diseases and save lives." Qining said: "Is the purpose of the Medicine House Chamber of Commerce not to care about the lives and lives of the people because of its own interests? You can just go ahead and do it. If someone really stops it, I will personally intervene later. This matter."
When Tian Xuerong heard what Qi Ning said, she was even more happy. The more she looked at the young Marquis, the more pleasing she became. She smiled sweetly and said: "The Marquis has said so, and it will definitely happen." After taking a look at the banknote, Quietly Qi Ning again, Qi Ning suppressed her laughter and nodded slightly. Then Tian Xuerong happily put away the banknotes, stood up and said, "I'm going to write a receipt for the Marquis right now."
Qi Ning stretched and stood up, saying: "What evidence? Do I still not believe you? Besides, you are a little woman, how dare you trick my Marquis?"
Tian Xuerong was even more happy in her heart, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, "The Marquis is extremely shrewd, not to mention that I, a woman, don't have the guts. Even if I really have that courage, I can't deceive the Marquis."
Qi Ning chuckled and then said: "Madam, are you free now?"
"Ah?" Tian Xuerong was in a happy mood. Holding the two thousand taels of silver notes on her body, she felt as if she had eaten ginseng fruit. She felt a sense of relief all over her body and said, "Does the Marquis have any other instructions? As long as the Marquis is here, I will I’m busy, but I still have to accompany the Marquis.”
"Okay, then, take me to your piano room." Qining said, "I happen to have something important to ask you for advice."
As soon as Tian Xuerong heard the word "qin room", her heart strings immediately tightened, and she forced a smile and said: "Master Hou... Master Hou, can't you... can't you talk about it here?"
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood her worries and frowned: "Don't worry too much, it's a serious matter, and it must be discussed in the piano room."
Although Tian Xuerong felt strange, she felt that Qi Ning seemed a little unhappy and did not dare to disobey. She could only say: "Then Mr. Hou... Mr. Hou will come with me."
The two of them left the main hall one after another and walked along the bluestone path to the piano room at the back. Tian Xuerong was always a little uneasy. Qining followed behind him with his hands on his back, looking at Tian Xuerong's enchanting back. Although Tian Xuerong The layout of the family courtyard is also good, but compared to Tian Xuerong's soft back, Qi Qi would rather say it is unattractive.
When they arrived at the piano room, there was no one around. Tian Xuerong opened the door, then stepped aside, and invited Qi Ning into the room. Qi Ning scanned around and then asked: "There won't be anyone around here, right?"
Tian Xuerong was already suspicious in her heart. After hearing Qining's question, her heart was raised even more, wondering why he wanted to ask if there was anyone nearby? He kept an eye on it and said: "No one comes here on weekdays, but... I can't tell for sure, maybe... maybe there is an emergency, and they came here."
Qining didn't understand her little thoughts, and felt funny in his heart. Then he walked to the guqin bed and hesitated. Seeing Tian Xuerong standing by the door and not coming over, he frowned slightly and waved. Tian Xuerong was helpless and just Neng came closer, lowered his head, and said anxiously: "Master Marquis... What are your orders from Master Marquis?"
Qin Ning thought that even if I was interested in you, there was no way I could do anything to you here in the blue sky. He acted like he was guarding against thieves, with a cold expression on his face, and whispered: "You can just hear what I'm going to say next. You must not say a word about what we are going to do next, otherwise...!" A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Tian Xuerong's delicate body trembled, thinking that something bad was going on. It seemed that the young prince was really going to do something shameful here, and he threatened himself not to show off to the public. Suddenly, his legs became weak, his breathing was short, and his chest was heaving. He stammered: "Hou... Lord Hou, let's... that...!"
