The manager's attitude was good, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Gao, there are not many high-grade medicinal materials. It just so happened that Yuliju came to pick up a batch before, and the new ones are of this grade."
"Then why are my things good?" Gao Xiang asked.
The steward's words were impeccable: "Elder An sent word before that this bag has been prepared long ago, otherwise, Mr. Gao would have gotten this grade."
"This..." Gao Xiang instinctively felt something was wrong, but he was still young and didn't think carefully, so he was blocked by the manager's words for a while.
As for Lu Mingshu, she was like a mirror in her heart. Even if there is no top grade, ordinary authentic ones are fine, so why use inferior ones to fool her? She didn't believe that Jiuyao Palace dared to let the disciples use inferior products for such a big matter as opening the veins. He made her wait for so long before, and now he gave her a defective product. The other party made up his mind to embarrass her.
However, the dialect speaks beautifully, and the attitude is also kind, which makes people unable to catch the mistakes.
"No, let your hall master come out!" Gao Xiang shouted, "Why have I never heard of this faction giving out defective products to disciples?"
"Master Gao..."
Lu Mingshu wanted to speak, but hesitated for a moment, then stopped.
When Fu Shangqing received the news and rushed outside, there was already a lot of trouble.
It was a coincidence that such a trivial matter could not be reported to the head. He happened to be checking the medicine list in Zhizhen Academy, and there was a commotion outside.
The lineage of Liu Lin is very important in the current Jiuyao Palace, and the number one expert in Jiuyao Palace, Supreme Elder Zhuo Jiangui is from the lineage of Liulin. Their lineage has never participated in disputes and remained neutral. In contrast, no one will offend them and force them to another faction.
Fu Shangqing, the head of the sect, was not sitting securely, so how could he offend Liu Lin's lineage? Although Gao Xiang is just a child, the lineage of Liulin has always been a single lineage, and there is only one direct heir in a generation. Zhuo Jiangui only accepted An Tongchen as a formal disciple, and now An Tongchen has chosen Gao Xiang. It is no surprise that he is Liu The future inheritor of Lin's lineage, An Tongchen will definitely show him embarrassment if he gets into trouble.
The farce just ended a few days ago, and Fu Shangqing will definitely not do unnecessary things right now.
"What is this for?" Fu Shangqing came out from inside with a calm expression.
The steward was doing things on his own, originally thinking, Lu Mingshu is a child, so what if he is bullied? It's true to please the second lady. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiang just came at this time, and this stupid boy still wanted to stand up for Lu Mingshu, so this matter would be difficult.
Calling the hall master, he dare not. Distributing elixir is an important job, ordinary officers can't touch it, and they are qualified to be in charge. He also knew who Gao Xiang was, what if the hall master beat him up in order to appease Gao Xiang? He is a small steward, no matter how many gifts he gives, it is not as important as Gao Xiang, the successor of the Liulin lineage.
Unexpectedly, after this hesitation, Fu Shangqing came.
When the steward saw him, he didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.
Don't worry, Zhou Yinru's side is what he usually seeks out, of course he knows that Fu Shangqing doesn't like this daughter who came out halfway. Say you're worried, no matter what, she's his daughter, not to mention that Sect Leader Fu's behavior on the surface has always been hard to find fault with.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shangqing appeared suddenly, and Lu Mingshu was taken aback. When she was hesitating about how to address her, Gao Xiang had already clenched his fists: "Master, you came just in time. The Zhizhen Academy is too shameful, how important it is to open the veins, this villain is actually shoddy, and cheated." Disciple! If this gets out, will our Jiuyao Palace have any face?"
Fu Shangqing was speechless for a while, what he said was really beautiful, how old is this kid? It's too difficult!
"what happened?"
The matter was very clear, the two packs of medicine were spread out in front of Fu Shangqing, and the contrast was clear. Gao Xiang's bag was top-quality, plump and shiny, while Lu Mingshu's bag was dry and smelled wrong.
Fu Shangqing stared at the steward, secretly hating in his heart. Zhou Yinru wanted to embarrass Lu Mingshu, he knew it, and he was too lazy to take care of it. It's just that it shouldn't be made public, now is the critical period of cooperation with Qizhen Temple, who has time to take care of such trivial matters
In front of him, the steward didn't dare to say what he had said before, he stammered and didn't finish a sentence for a long time.
Fu Shangqing looked upset for a while, and saw Gao Xiang staring at him with wide eyes, so he had to cut the mess quickly: "I have made repeated orders before, and the Zhizhen Academy has a great responsibility, so we should not take it lightly. Opening the pulse is very important. Okay? Won’t you report the lack of elixir? If you can’t do it well, then don’t do it!”
The steward's knees softened, and he knelt down with a "plop", begging bitterly: "Sect Leader, I'm just greedy for a momentary convenience, please forgive me!"
Before Fu Shangqing could speak, Gao Xiang had already glared at him: "You are going to be merciful before you are punished? Is it too early?" Then he said to Fu Shangqing, "Sect Leader, how do you think you should punish him?"
Fu Shangqing waved his hand: "Beat him with ten sticks and drive him out of the house." It's no big deal for a small steward.
The steward was shocked: "The head..."
Just one word, someone has come up and crossed him, and sent him to the Jingyiyuan to execute his sentence.
After finishing the process, Fu Shangqing frowned and looked at Lu Mingshu: "How long have you started causing trouble? Don't go out of Bixi Valley if you have nothing to do in the future. If you need anything, I will send someone to deliver it."
It was obvious that she was being bullied, but Fu Shangqing scolded her as soon as he opened his mouth. Lu Mingshu had been disappointed in this father for a long time, but he didn't feel sad. He changed his mind and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Bixi Valley lacks a lot of things."
Fu Shangqing frowned even tighter: "You have food and clothing, what can you lack?"
Lu Mingshu said: "Bi Xigu has not been involved in the world for a long time. My master has a good temper. Those people have long been used to shoddy things, not just this time. The rice, noodles, vegetables and fruits they send are all defective products, even the servants may not be willing to eat them." .”
Fu Shangqing suppressed his unhappiness: "Okay, I know about this."
After all, he got up and went out with his entourage.
Gao Xiang was puzzled and asked, "Are you familiar with the head?"
Lu Mingshu smiled: "He is my father."
"Huh?" Gao Xiang was shocked.
Lu Mingshu solemnly thanked him: "Thank you today, thank you. It's getting late, I have to go back, come to Bixi Valley to play when I have time!"
"Oh it's all right… "
Lu Mingshu took the newly packaged medicine without checking it, and left the Zhizhen Institute. There was an incident just now, so they don't dare to fool around again.
Gao Xiang stared blankly at her walking away, still thinking in his heart, he had seen the head's daughter before, a spoiled little girl, when did she have such a daughter
Lu Mingshu was really grateful to him. Realizing that the steward was deliberately bullying, she had already made up her mind to kneel at the gate of the main palace after leaving this gate.
It's not such a cheap thing to pretend to be a good person while making things difficult in private.
What happened to her mother made her realize that swallowing her anger will only fuel her arrogance, Fu Shangqing is shameless, what else is she doing for him? She has nothing now, and she is not afraid of wearing shoes on bare feet.
I didn't expect to meet Gao Xiang by chance, and he enthusiastically complained for her.
She wasn't afraid that the Zhou family would hold grudges, but Gao Xiang's help saved her a lot of trouble, and even took the opportunity to solve the problem of Bixigu's detainment.
She remembered this favor.
