It's just for myself, which means it has nothing to do with Da Yousheng.
Xin Chao Ling said something and nodded in understanding.
"Oh, by the way, what's going on with the Wang family? These days must be difficult..." Xin Chaoyang changed his position and leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Xin Chaoling and asked.
"Yes. Yesterday, the seventh young master of the Wang family got drunk and yelled at Li Qing and the others. If we hadn't pulled him away, he might have killed someone with a knife... You didn't see that boy's drunkenness, and killed several of their family members. What my brother scolded was nothing, as if he is the only one in the Wang family who is a bloody man. Hahahaha, we don’t know what kind of virtue he is. It makes me so happy.” pain.
Xin Chaoyang also smiled when he heard this.
"However, that boy said that they are not willing to fight with Li Qing and the others. Their family only has Liu Gong's secret purple elixir." Yes, brother, is he real or fake? Isn’t Mrs. Gu not selling medicine recently?”
Xin Chaoyang groaned when he heard this, narrowed his eyes slightly in thought, and turned the celadon teacup in his hand.
"Purple Golden Pill?" He seemed to be muttering to himself, and suddenly put the tea cup on the table, "It seems that we need to add fuel to the fire of Baohe Hall. Otherwise, how would everyone know that the best Purple Golden Pill has appeared? Woolen cloth...."
Xin Chaoling seemed to understand what he heard, so he didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, if the sky fell and the young master was there to hold it up, he would just eat and wait for death.
In the Gu family alley, during dinner in the evening, Mrs. Cao was still a little worried about Gu Xi'er.
"You, my cousin, have never been angry like this since you were a child. What's more, it's in front of a large audience. It shouldn't be anything bad."
Gu Shiba Niang was washing her hands for the second time in the copper basin held by the servant, and smiled softly when she heard this.
"What's the matter? It's just scolding me like a bastard."
Ms. Cao sighed and looked at her daughter's nonchalant expression, then turned to look at Gu Hai.
"Mom, this kind of unruly woman only bullies the weak and avoids the strong. It would be better to teach her a lesson." Gu Hai smiled and said, "It will save her from thinking that her sister is easy to bully."
After saying this, a smile appeared on his face, "Uncle's house is very lively today."
"What? Is there anything else?" Gu Shiba Niang sat down and asked curiously when she saw his playful expression.
"Gu Yu played a trick on Gu Long today. Gu Long went to school and beat Gu Yu. In the end, he didn't take advantage. Instead, he was beaten up by his uncle. He forced him to apologize to Gu Yu and admit his mistake. I came from the uncle's house. When I passed by, I heard that Gu Long was committing suicide with a knife." Gu Hai said with a smile.
The son who once wished he had never been born has now become a treasure in Gu Leshan's eyes. It's a pity that Gu Long, who has been called around like a dog for more than ten years, suddenly looks down on him in a condescending manner. This feeling is incredible. Feel good.
Gu Shiba Niang pursed her lips and smiled. Has revenge officially begun
"He can't stand his father suddenly punishing him for Gu Yu..." She smiled, "But, I think he will get used to it soon..."
Speaking of this, she stopped for a moment, and her eyes glanced at Mr. Cao seemingly inadvertently.
"Gu Yu, has he...?" She asked Gu Hai, only half of the words were said.
Gu Hai understood, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I'm sensible."
Ms. Cao looked at the siblings with some confusion, not understanding what they were talking about. Before she could ask, Gu Hai had already changed the subject.
A snowstorm came with the end of the New Year. Schools have been temporarily suspended. All the students preparing for the exam are doing their final sprint at home. The examiners sent by the capital have arrived in Jiankang City.
When Gu Shiba Niang got off the carriage and approached Lingyuan's small yard, she heard Peng Yizhen's cheers.
The door was half open, and the snow in the courtyard had not yet been completely swept away. At this time, snow mist was rising as a figure kicked and jumped.
Lingyuan's naked upper body is a little thin but already somewhat strong. Several scars are faintly visible on his chest. He holds a wooden stick in his hand and moves like a dragon, coiling like flying.
"Okay, okay, even if you don't lie, with this skill, you can follow General Ye Zhen to kill the gold thieves." Peng Yizhen clapped his palms.
General Ye Zhen, the Marquis of Wuchang in the Zhou Dynasty, a great general with troops and horses, and a god in using troops. He was the first person to stop the Jin people from going south and regain the lost territory today. For a boy of Lingyuan's age, that is what he has in his heart. God of War.
Lingyuan escaped from the land occupied by Dajin, and he has a deep-seated hatred for the Jin people. Is his dream to join the army
Gu Shiba Niang thought for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on her lips. Working under General Ye Zhen was actually not as good as she imagined.
Although she was a housewife in that life and had no contact with the affairs of the court, she still knew about some major events, such as the death of Emperor Longqing, the fight between princes, and the death of the general.
It is now the sixth year of Jianyuan. It won't be long before the famous general will be imprisoned and beheaded at the end of the seventh year of Jianyuan. At that time, the three armies were in mourning and the people were in mourning. Gu Shiba Niang still remembers the scene.
She heard that the general died unjustly, and that he was framed by the prime minister. That was all she knew. No one told her more about the inside story at the time, and she didn't even think about finding out. She was a housewife. People, understand what these important affairs of the imperial court are doing.
"Miss." Lingbao's voice rang in her ears, interrupting Gu Shiba Niang's reverie.
"The Eighteenth Mother is here." Peng Yizhen walked over with a busy smile.
Gu Shiba Niang greeted everyone with a smile, stepped in, looked at Lingyuan and praised: "Lingyuan has good stick skills."
"It's marksmanship." Lingbao corrected with a smile, "If you don't have a gun, use a stick instead."
"I don't know." Gu Shiba Niang smiled apologetically, looked at Lingyuan, and smiled again, "Good marksmanship."
When Lingyuan saw her eyes turning to him, and remembered that he was naked, he couldn't help but blush, and without answering, he turned around and went into the house.
"Brother has always wanted to join the army. If I hadn't been a drag..." Lingbao sighed, "I would have avenged my parents and the whole village long ago..."
When Dajin went south, they burned, killed, looted, and destroyed villages and towns. It was really tragic. Although I didn't see it in person, I heard about it and saw the miserable situation of the people who fled on the street.
Gu Shiba Niang reached out and stroked her head to express comfort.
"Thanks to General Ye Zhen, he is here to avenge us," Peng Yizhen sighed.
Gu Shiba Niang felt pity in her heart. She didn't understand the important affairs of the court, but she thought that General Ye Zhen must be a good person. Good people will die...
Want to remind him
When this idea came up, Gu Shiba Niang smiled a little. How could she remind her to run and tell General Ye Zhen that you were going to die
"Baba Niang, I was just going to talk to you," Peng Yizhen said, "This Shunhetang Pharmacy is really hard to talk to."
"What? They won't sell it?" Gu Shiba Niang asked attentively.
Lingbao brought the tea and quietly stepped back, letting them talk.
"It's not that I won't sell it, it's just very strange," Peng Yizhen said. "First he said he would sell it, and the price was almost negotiated. Then suddenly he said he wouldn't sell it. He repeated this three or four times, and I had to tell Lao Peng They are anxious."
"Do you want to ask for more money?" Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile, holding the teacup in her hand, "Three hundred taels of silver for their Shunhetang is already not low. If you want to increase the price, let's delay him for a while and let them Look, there’s still a higher price.”
She has already thought about it. If Shunhetang cannot be acquired, she will not hesitate to borrow Liu Gong's name again. The first is to let the medicine store collect debts, and the second is to let out the news that she wants to acquire Shunhetang. She believes that once she does this, Shunhetang will be Absolutely no one cares about it.
She couldn't believe that she had forced it into a dead end and she still couldn't get it.
"I know, I got anxious with the manager that day and said I wouldn't buy it," Peng Yizhen said with a smile. "But the guy pulled me back to say nice things. I heard what he meant was that his family members had different opinions. It’s like there are two masters, one wants to sell and the other doesn’t want to sell, so they are fighting..."
"Oh..." Gu Shiba Niang thought thoughtfully. It seemed to be the same when Shunhe Hall faced difficulties in that life. Mrs. Shen San, Xiao Zhao insisted on selling, but Shen Anlin did not agree to sell, otherwise she would not accept it. Shunhetang…
It seems to be the same this time.
It's just that Shen Anlin was not at home at that time, but wrote a letter to express his opinions. Now two years in advance, Shen Anlin is still in Jiankang, and the Shen family doesn't have him yet, so shouldn't Shen Anlin take over personally? Is this a drug store
Gu Shiba Niang's hand tightened, the tea cup shook, water splashed out, and she couldn't help but let out a low cry because it was so hot.
"What's wrong?" Lingyuan came over in a hurry, grabbing her hand nervously and looking at it.
There was just some tea powder on my hands.
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Shiba Niang came back to her senses and smiled, but her brows were still furrowed.
Lingyuan hurriedly let go of his hand, lowered his head and stepped aside.
Gu Shiba Niang's mind was not here at all. She bit her lower lip. Her guess just now was very likely to become reality. This damn fate would always block her way unexpectedly.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Peng Yiyi was puzzled by her reaction. In fact, he saw that Shunhe Hall was nothing special, the location was not very good, and the store was old. Gu Shiba Niang was now in the medicine shop. How could a drugstore have such a reputation in the world, so why was it that Shunhetang was so determined to get it
The tempers of pharmaceutical masters are all weird and cannot be guessed according to common sense. Peng Yizhen can only think this way.
"Eighteen Mother, the person in charge came to me yesterday and said that their young master wanted to see me and talk to me personally. If the negotiation is done, it will be done." Peng Yizhen continued.
"Their young master?" Gu Shiba Niang asked, "Which young master?"
"Young Master." Peng Yizhen touched his head and couldn't remember clearly.
"The eldest young master is gone a long time ago..." Gu Shiba Niang murmured.
"Who is missing?" Peng Yizhen asked with his ears pricked up.
"It's nothing. What did he do when he saw you?" Gu Shiba Niang said, narrowing her eyes. The eldest young master should have said Shen Anlin. To be more precise, he should call him Young Master Lin. Xiao Zhao said it. In view of the early death of the concubine's eldest son, The title of Eldest Young Master is unknown, so I will call him Young Master Lin.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Master Lin, this title is really weird, but in that life she didn't think there was anything wrong with it..."
In that life, Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but laugh at herself. In that life, she really had all her brains in vain.
"...Made an appointment with me at Gao Fatty Restaurant..." Peng Yizhen didn't pay attention to her absence, and continued, "...Baba Niang, please give me an accurate answer. If he raises the price, how much is the bottom line?"
Gu Shiba Niang sneered, "Not even a penny more."
Unexpectedly, she answered so simply. Peng Yizhen was stunned for a moment, rubbed his hands and said, "Eighteen Niang, this is not how business is discussed... Only when you advance and retreat..."
Lingyuan glanced at him from the side. If he had known that Mrs. Gu had thrown a bag of gold into Shunhe Hall years ago, he might have been even more crazy.
Naturally, this is not how business is discussed. Lingyuan's eyes turned to Gu Shiba Niang. She was sitting on a chair with her back straight and her expression solemn. The girl's clear eyes turned deep and revealed a hint of indifference. .
This wasn't a business at all for her.
"..Do you know who the young master you want to see is?" Gu Shiba Niang suddenly turned her head and looked at Peng Yizhen.
A smile appeared on her face, but this smile was a little weird.
Peng Yizhen was startled, "Shen Anlin?"
As the apparent owner of a store these days, he naturally wants to know which store he wants to acquire. When he hears the name of Mr. Shen San of the Shen family, a name he will always forget. jumped out.
Thinking of this, and then thinking about Mrs. Gu's actions, he suddenly realized, yes, this is not about business, but revenge...
"Is it him?" Peng Yizhen asked again, wanting to confirm. Seeing Gu Shiba Niang nodding, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Who is this Shen Anlin, and how could he be enmity with Mrs. Gu? It seems like this feud is quite big. What’s the story behind it
Gu Shiba Niang glanced at Peng Yizhen and understood the curiosity written on his face. She made a temporary decision.
"I'll go with you." She said slowly.
"Ah?" Peng Yizhen looked at her in surprise.
The appointed day was the next day. Peng Yizhen hesitated for a while outside the restaurant and watched Lingyuan driving a carriage to the side. He wanted to go over and say hello, but when he saw Gu Shiba Niang getting out of the car, he cast a glance at her. The warning look stopped.
This Madam Gu was probably here to spy on him, not as he had guessed, and the scene where enemies were extremely jealous when they met would naturally not happen.
"Miss, please come this way."
Gao Pangzi Restaurant has three floors. Although it is not the tallest restaurant in Jiankang, the layout is very elegant. In addition, the food and wine are excellent, and it enjoys a good reputation.
The private rooms on the third floor are hung with house numbers named after various flowers and plants. Compared with the bustle on the first and second floors, it seems very quiet here because it has not yet reached the dining peak and there is almost no sound of people.
Peng Yizhen couldn't help but touch his nose when he saw Gu Shiba Niang taking Ling Yuan into the small private room that was only separated from the private room where he was by a white jade screen.
This private room was originally set up for large family dinners, so a small private room was set up for the convenience of the female family members. Although they did not meet each other, it did not affect the conversation with each other.
Now his conversation with Shen Anlin was happening right under her ears. Although they couldn't see each other in person, their voices could indeed be heard clearly.
After sitting down in the room, the restaurant waiter served simple food and drinks and then left.
Looking at the solid white jade screen that blocked his sight, Peng Yizhen couldn't help but stand up and said: "Eighteenth Mother..."
"Don't talk to me, just pretend I'm not here." Gu Shiba Niang's faint voice sounded over there.
Peng Yizhen groaned and opened his mouth to say something else, when footsteps came from outside the door.
"Captain Shen, please come this way." The voice of the restaurant owner said outside, and the door was opened in response.
