"Second Miss, Second Miss!" Grandma Zhou seemed to have been wandering around the door of the study for a while, but she couldn't get in. When she saw Qin Wanru coming, her eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.
"Mother Zhou, what's the matter?" Qin Wanru stopped and asked.
"Um, Second Miss, this... can you help Madam deliver it to the General? This is the soup that Madam made for the General in the small kitchen." Aunt Zhou opened the food basket in her hand as she spoke. It is a bowl of thick and fragrant soup, and it smells very good.
"Can't Grandma Zhou go in and see her off by herself?" Qin Wanru raised her eyes, looked at the boy guarding outside the study, and asked in confusion.
"This... the young man won't let me in, so I still bother the second lady. This is the soup that the madam has been cooking for a long time. All the vegetables are picked by the madam herself. For this soup, the madam even hurt her hand." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.
"Have you seen a doctor?" Qin Wanru fluttered her long eyelashes and said softly.
"This... not yet. I want to tell the general later before inviting me." Grandma Zhou's eyes flickered.
"How can you take care of this kind of thing? I will send someone to ask for a doctor soon!" Qin Wanru said.
A flash of panic flashed in Aunt Zhou's eyes. She put down the food basket in her hand and shook her hands hurriedly: "Second Miss, there is no need to worry about this. The general's soup is really urgent. It won't taste good after a while and it will be cold. It's still troublesome." The second lady sent the soup to the general."
"Madam's hand is more urgent." Qin Wanru looked around and saw a woman coming over by chance, so she asked Yu Jie to call her: "Go and find a doctor outside to check Madam's injuries and cook." He was injured when he was there!"
"Yes, Miss Second!" the mother-in-law said and left.
Aunt Zhou couldn't stop shouting even though she wanted to. She couldn't help showing annoyance on her face. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the back of the mother-in-law who had left. She seemed to be asking for an apology: "What are you going to call Miss Second?" What kind of doctor is coming? Does she know about the doctor who treats Madam?"
"Didn't Madam break her hand while cutting vegetables? Doesn't it mean that even for such a minor injury, she has to go to the doctor she used to see the doctor to rest assured?" Yu Jie blinked in confusion and asked in surprise.
This sentence made Grandma Zhou's face turn red with anger, but she couldn't say anything. She couldn't say that this was something she and Mrs. Di had discussed.
If you deliberately send the soup with blood stains to the general, the general will definitely ask about it when he sees it. You can explain that the lady hurt her hand when making the soup, so she accidentally soiled the general's soup. Then Next, the general will definitely tell him to invite a doctor.
He could also take the opportunity to go out, but now Qin Wanru made such a fuss and couldn't get out again. How could Grandma Zhou not be angry
"How can a little girl like you understand Madam's body?" Aunt Zhou said angrily with a cold face. This plan failed and she had no intention of giving Qin Wanru a good look.
"My wife's body really needs to be seen by a doctor before we know it. Aunt Zhou, please go back first. The doctor will be here soon. No one said anything about my wife's condition. I'm afraid things will be missed!" Qin Wanru said calmly.
Looking at Qin Wanru's face, Grandma Zhou knew that it was useless for her to stay. She snorted coldly, picked up the food basket on the ground, and turned to leave.
The young man guarding the door couldn't help but laugh when he saw the scene in front of him. Aunt Zhou had teased him a lot before, staring at him, which made him very annoyed, but the general had given an explicit order, If you don't let Aunt Zhou in, you will finally leave.
"Is father in there?" Qin Wanru came over and asked.
The servant hurriedly saluted: "The general is handling official business inside. Is there something wrong with the second lady? I will go in and report it immediately!"
"No need, I just came back from outside and brought some delicious cakes to my father. You can bring them in later!" Qin Wanru said with a slight smile.
Yujie stood up from behind her and gave some pastries to the boy, who hurriedly took them.
"Just now, did my father not let Nanny Zhou in?" Qin Wanru asked.
"The general has ordered that the people in Mrs. Di's courtyard are not allowed to disturb her if they have anything to do. Even if there is anything, they should go to Mrs. Shui. Now the inner courtyard is under the control of Mrs. Shui!" the boy replied.
Therefore, the old lady had already spoken to her father, which was why she was forced to take this step and cause something like an injury to her hand.
A faint smile curled up at the corners of her lips. The more anxious Di and Grandma Zhou were, the better. If they went out, they would definitely find sellers in all the shops and negotiate the prices.
The amount of money to sell a store is quite large. Once you go out, the most you can do is find a good seller and negotiate a good price, but you can't get all the money.
Then the second time she goes out, Grandma Zhou will collect the money...
When Qin Wanru entered through the hanging flower door, although the mother-in-law was surprised when she went out, she thought that the second lady had come back like this several times in the past, so she didn't care so much. Maybe she happened to go out when she didn't see her. The door is closed!
Now that Mrs. Shui and the second young lady in the mansion are in power, no one will ask such a boring question for nothing, so they come forward to interrogate them.
After returning to the yard and freshening up, Qin Wanru sat in front of the window, took out a stack of paper, and carefully wrote down some of the things she needed to bring to Beijing this time, as well as some necessary items and medicinal materials to purchase.
There are some medicinal materials that are unique to Jiangzhou. Although they are also available in the capital, you may not be able to find good and suitable ones. I will take advantage of this trip to Beijing to bring some with me.
I put down the pen in my hand, picked up the paper and let it dry, then placed it again in front of my eyes and started looking at it.
"Qingyue, these are for Aunt Yu, help her clean up the things in the yard for me." Qin Wanru pointed to the few pieces of paper on the left and said, these are all already in her yard, put them away That’s fine.
"Yes, Miss!" Qingyue nodded, looked at it and put away a few pieces of paper. Aunt Yu was illiterate, but she followed Qin Wanru who was literate. It was best to help Aunt Yu pack away together. OK
"Yujie, do you need to add more medicinal materials here?" Qin Wanru pointed to another pile of paper and said. Compared with Yujie's knowledge of medicinal materials in Jiangzhou, Qin Wanru's knowledge is still inferior. A little, so I asked Yujie to help me buy it.
Yujie picked up the other pieces of paper and looked at them: "Miss, there are indeed a few things missing. When I go out to the drug store, I will add a few more things myself. If I can still see good ones, I will also add them." In terms of mergers and acquisitions, although the Jiangzhou area is remote, there are really a lot of good medicinal materials!"
"Okay!" Qin Wanru nodded.
The next few days were quite satisfactory, especially after I learned that Aunt Zhou went out and sold all the eight shops in Di's hands very efficiently. Di's side actually didn't make any more trouble. The enchanting Ezi came, as if she was also entering the capital in an orderly manner.
Aunt Dong and her daughter were taken into the house by Qin Wanru, and she also told the old lady that she wanted to open a shop in Beijing. Although the old lady felt that it might not be feasible for Qin Wanru to open a shop in such a small business, Shui Ruolan was on Qin Wanru's side. After persuading the old lady for a few words, the old lady let go.
He thought that if Qin Wanru couldn't do it himself, he could just ask Shui Ruolan to help. He always needed to open a few shops in the capital, so he would just help Qin Wanru take care of them.
Seeing Aunt Dong and her daughter enter the house, Qin Wanru felt relieved. In the previous life, the buttons and embroidery of Aunt Dong and her daughter were highly praised by many people in the capital, and the price continued to rise. The ladies in the palace all like to use the buttons and embroidery made by Mrs. Dong and her daughter.
As a result, the originally inconspicuous garment workshop became the largest garment workshop in Beijing, and many high-end custom-made products came from that garment workshop.
Then Aunt Dong even won the Queen Mother's green eyes.
However, the end result of Aunt Dong's last life was not good. The boss behind her used her lame daughter to blackmail her, so she had to pass on some things that she should not pass on when entering the palace. In the end, the mother and daughter Both died.
Qin Wanru didn't know who was behind Empress Dowager Dong in her previous life. She had already gone to the palace to paint portraits for the ladies. She only learned from others that Aunt Dong, whom the Empress Dowager valued most, was involved. In a major incident, no one could find out the truth in the end, and Aunt Dong and her daughter were finally pushed out.
What surprised her the most was that Aunt Dong seemed to be very excited when she saw her in the palace and wanted to say something to herself, but every time she wanted to say something, someone happened to be talking to her.
So when Aunt Dong and her daughter died, neither Qin Wanru nor Aunt Dong had a chance to speak in private!
At that time, she had a vague feeling that the matter between Aunt Dong and her daughter was not simple, and seemed to be inextricably related to her. Later, she also found out that the mother and daughter were also from Jiangzhou. They came to Beijing to find relatives but did not meet them. A garment shop.
Since it was related to her, Qin Wanru took the first step in this life and took Aunt Dong and her daughter with her when they entered Beijing. As for Dong Xiuer's legs, she had also seen that they were not congenital. They were caused by Dong Xiuer's sitting two months ago. While traveling in a carriage, she was hit by another carriage. She fell off the carriage and was injured.
Although I have been taking medicine since then, I have not completely recovered, and there are even faint signs of getting worse.
Aunt Dong hurriedly called in many doctors, but they all expressed their inability to do anything. Each one said that there might be doctors in the capital who could treat her, but it was really not possible here in Jiangzhou. The doctors' words made Aunt Dong and her daughter have more and more expectations for the capital. But I have no choice but to have no money, so I can only spend it like this.
Qin Wanru's invitation was great news that fell from the sky, and then Qin Wanru said that he could cure Dong Xiuer's leg injury, which made Aunt Dong and her daughter regard Qin Wanru as their savior.
Aunt Dong took Dong Xiuer's hand and kowtowed to Qin Wanru several times together. She even decided to buy herself into the house to serve Qin Wanru, but Qin Wanru refused.
If Aunt Dong is just a servant, she will not be able to see the Queen Mother in the future, let alone gain the respect of the Queen Mother. She needs someone to gain the respect of the Queen Mother, someone to speak in front of the Queen Mother, and someone to deal with outside, but she needs someone to be respected by the Queen Mother. It cannot be a domestic servant, otherwise it will be very restrictive, and some things may not be done objectively!
She must be fully prepared for the journey to Beijing.
The next few days were peaceful, but then the peace was broken by Di's "crazy trouble"!
When Mrs. Di was "crazy and making trouble", Qin Wanru was waiting for the decoction at the old lady's side. With Qin Wanru at her side, she was carefully treating her, and the old lady's health was getting better and better!
"Old madam, Madam Di rushed to Madam Shui's yard with her people!" A maid was talking with a smile in the house, and a maid ran in with a worried look on her face to report.
