This guy is obviously just a lowly person with a dog's eyes, and he can't make any waves in Lin Jingchen's heart at all. He clasped his hands and said: "This little brother must be busy with the master's daily affairs, and I won't waste too much time for the master. May I invite him to come here."
The guy raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry when he heard a lazy voice say: "Grandfather, it's just a waste of saliva to talk too much about these little people who look down on people."
The man was about to curse back, but when he looked up, he saw a fifteen or sixteen year old boy in a purple brocade robe. The young man was full of nobility, elegance and pride, and said in a condescending manner: "My grandfather is polite to you, but you picked up Joe!" By the time he said the last sentence, his eyes had become fierce, and his momentum was overwhelming. people.
The guy almost thought he was hallucinating, rubbed his eyes, was so frightened that he almost fell down, and stammered: "Shi... Shizi?"
Xiao Yi has the post of Commander of the East City of the Five Cities Army, and although he is not very dedicated, there is no one who has been around the East City all year round who does not know him.
Why did I provoke this evil star! The buddy was so frightened that he trembled, his face turned pale, he slapped himself hard on the ears, and hurriedly said: "Master, it turns out to be your old man's grandfather! I really don't know Mount Tai!" The clerk couldn't help but glanced at Lin Jingchen who was wearing a simple gray straight gown, and felt that the old man's dress was too simple, which made him offend the nobleman for no reason.
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, and said with sincerity and fear: "My lord, you don't care about the villains! I'll go and call Master Yu!" Before he finished speaking, he had already run to the back Go call someone.
This dialogue has already attracted a lot of onlookers, pointing and pointing, but they dare not get too close.
"Although this guy looks down on people with dog eyes, he is just a few words of negligence in words." A blue straight young man beside Lin Jingchen frowned and shook his head in disapproval, "My lord, you can kill people with a single word." I was so scared that I slapped my mouth, I am afraid that I have done a lot of bullying things on weekdays!"
It was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, his eyes were as clear as water, and his appearance was gentle and elegant. He was five points similar to Lin Jingchen, and he looked handsome and handsome. It was Lin Jingchen's eldest grandson, Lin Ziran.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and thought: Cousin Lin is so righteous and awe-inspiring, if I don't admit it, I will let my cousin down.
Nangong Xin naturally felt the spark-splashing confrontation between Lin Ziran and Xiao Yi, looking at Xiao Yi on the left for a while, and Lin Ziran on the right for a while, feeling a little at a loss.
Just as Xiao Yi opened his lips, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind them: "Grandfather, brother, A Yi, cousin Ran."
"Sister!" "Ah Yue!"
Nangong Xin and Xiao Yi immediately followed the sound and smiled brightly.
Xiao Yi even forgot all about Lin Ziran in the blink of an eye, and walked over to Nangong Yue happily, and whispered in her ear with a low voice, "Stinky girl, I didn't let anyone bully my grandfather." .”
"I know." Nangong Yue also whispered in his ear.
Seeing the two biting their ears, Lin Ziran couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Sister," Nangong Xin couldn't wait to walk to Nangong Yue, and asked, "How do you know we are here?"
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "I happened to come out from Sister Xi's place ahead of schedule. I remembered that my grandfather mentioned that he would come to this area for a stroll, so I found them one by one. It seems that my luck is not bad."
Nangong Xin also heaved a sigh of relief that his younger sister could come, being caught between Xiao Yi and Lin Ziran really made him not know what to do, so he could only whisper in Nangong Yue's ear: "Sister, but cousin doesn't like A Yi …”
Nangong Yue has also noticed this point just now, but Xiao Yi is not a silver coin, how can everyone love him, besides, Xiao Yi has a clear love and hate, and sometimes likes to take the edge of the sword, but his cousin is a bit upright, and he has been a model since he was a child As a character, it is only natural that he can't understand Xiao Yi's playful and scolding style. It seems that she still has to be careful not to get them together.
At this time, the clerk just bowed his head and led a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties out of the medicine store. He saw the middle-aged man with a white face and short beard, naked eyes, and a hint of arrogance at the corners of his mouth.
The guy whispered something into his ear, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Xiao Yi, he clasped his fists and said: "I have seen the son of the son, what advice does the son of the son have?" Those who have seen the scene did not bow their knees just because they were facing Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi only cared about talking to his stinky girl, without raising his head, he said: "It's my grandfather who has something to say to you."
"This is Master, did you concoct this bag of seahorses?" Lin Jingchen asked, pointing to a bag of medicinal materials next to him.
Master Yu nodded confidently and said: "That's right. If this master wants to order medicine, please contact the assistant." I was a little impatient thinking: I have to call myself out for such a trivial matter. Sure enough, it is troublesome!
"I don't want to order medicine." Lin Jingchen shook his head and said. In an instant, Master Yu's entire face turned dark. He thought that the other party was here to find fault. Barely hold back.
Lin Jingchen picked up a dried seahorse casually, and said with certainty: "There is something wrong with the medicine you concocted!"
Hearing this, Master Yu's eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought: How is that possible!? With his technique, even an imperial doctor, he is confident that the other party will not be able to see the flaws.
Seeing the people watching all around whispering to each other, their eyes showed suspicion, Master Yu panicked and annoyed, and said with a straight face: "Master, even if you are Xiao Shizi's grandfather, you can't talk nonsense. Gossip, ruining the reputation of our medicine shop! Who in the entire capital doesn’t know that our Huang’s medicine shop has a history of a hundred years, and there is no deception, and there is no doctor who doesn’t know my skill in concocting medicinal materials in Haoran?"
"Your skill in concocting medicinal materials is really good." Lin Jingchen twirled the hippocampus between his fingers casually, looked at it, shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity you didn't use that kung fu in the right way." He said and looked at Nangong Yue , and handed over the dried seahorse in his hand, "Sister Yue, today my grandfather will test you, what do you think of this dried seahorse?"
As soon as Nangong Yue received it, she immediately felt that something was wrong. After weighing it, she took a closer look at the dried seahorse.
Master Yu was a little nervous for a moment, but at the same time he said to himself in his heart, it's impossible, how could a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl see the problem.
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up under the veil, her almond eyes were as bright as stars, and she said slowly: "This is indeed a high-quality seahorse salvaged from the East China Sea, it can be called a bright pearl..."
Hearing this, Master Yu already breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Jingchen proudly, and said in his heart: He knew how such a little girl could see it, but she did have some eyesight, and she knew This is a seahorse salvaged from the East China Sea...
Lin Jingchen showed neither disappointment nor embarrassment. He looked at the constriction in Nangong Yue's eyes with some amusement, and thought: his granddaughter is really different from when she was a child.
Nangong Yue glanced at Master Yu with a half-smile, and sighed: "It's a pity that someone has made the pearl dusty. It's obviously a high-quality seahorse, but it's going to turn it into a low-grade one..."
What she said made the people around them confused, since this is a high-grade seahorse, how could it become a low-grade one
The guy on the side couldn't help but said: "This girl, with our master's skill, there is no way we can miss it." It's probably a mistake only apprentices who just started to make by concocting good and high-quality medicinal materials. Master Yu is a teacher with 40 years of experience!
Others don't know what's going on, but Master Yu knows it well. Nangong Yue's words have already made his back covered in cold sweat, but he still refuses to admit it: "Don't play tricks! No matter how bad you are! My reputation, even if I go to the government, I will fight for it!"
I really don’t want to die without seeing the Yellow River!
Nangong Yue originally wanted to give him a chance to admit his mistake, but didn't want to push him to a dead end. Seeing that he was obsessed with his obsession, he spat out two words unceremoniously: "Add ingredients!"
Where there are merchants, there are bound to be profiteers, and drug dealers are no exception!
In order to make huge profits, those unscrupulous drug dealers often use various means of fumigation, steaming, soaking, coloring, etc. to shoddy. In addition, some people will use the method of adding ingredients to increase the weight of medicinal materials to make profits. This is because the master added something to the hippocampus.
As soon as he heard the word "additional material", Master Yu could no longer pretend to be calm, cold sweat dripped on his forehead, how could he hide his strange appearance from the onlookers.
Nangong Yue continued: "When the seahorse has just been salvaged and has not yet dried up, you can punch something like isinglass through the small hole in the middle of the seahorse's belly. After the seahorse dries up, the isinglass will melt into the seahorse itself. It is one body, ordinary people, even ordinary doctors can't see it at all." But with such a small skill, it is impossible to hide it from my grandfather!
Lin Jingchen clapped his hands and praised: "Sister Yue, it's really good that you can tell at such a young age. I guess even your cousin can't see the truth." He couldn't help feeling a little regretful as he spoke,
Nangong Yue looked at Lin Jingchen with admiration. She was still far behind her grandfather. Grandpa might have noticed something wrong with just a casual glance.
But Master Yu has already ossified into a stone sculpture, and only one thought is in his mind: It's over! It's all over now!
Lin Jingchen looked at Master Yu faintly, and said: "Master Yu, I won't tell you any more, I will report this matter to the guild for disposal."
"No, no, no!" Master Yu said in a panic, "Master, I was wrong! You must not tell the guild!" Once the guild finds out, he really won't be able to stay in this business up.
Master Yu's words are tantamount to admitting what he has done. In an instant, the already commotional crowd exploded in an instant, and those common people said one by one:
"Is there really something wrong with this medicine?"
"Didn't you hear that the master at that place admitted it?"
"I went to this drugstore to buy some goji berries half a month ago, so there is no problem?"
"..."
The common people are getting more and more excited, and some people have already come forward to find the theory of medicine practice.
At this moment, a bloated middle-aged man in a brown brocade robe heard the sound, shouting: "What's going on? Noisy..." His words stuck in his throat, originally The arrogant expression changed in an instant, and he rubbed his hands humbly and apologized with a smile, "Isn't this the eldest son? It's rare that the eldest son is here, so hurry up and sit inside!"
The guy hurriedly moved to the owner's side in small steps, and whispered what happened just now.
The owner's complexion was green and pale, and the medicinal material business was moderately tampered with. It was originally a secret thing that each family knew but it was well known to each other. Anyway, it would not kill anyone. His Huang Family Medicine Store is backed by the Dragon Knight General's Mansion. If ordinary people come to kick the hall, with the strength of the General's Mansion, he can easily dismiss them, but the problem is that the person who comes to find fault now is the Prince of Zhennan. , now it is his own medicine business that is in the wrong, if the Prince of Zhennan insists on making things big, then I am afraid that the General's Mansion will not be able to help him.
The owner's thoughts turned very quickly, and with a snap of his fingers, he had already decided to treat Master Yu as an abandoned son, and angrily reprimanded: "Master Yu, it's in vain for me to trust you so much, I never thought you would do such a thing!"
Master Yu widened his eyes in disbelief, knowing that he was going to be the scapegoat, but this Huang family medicine expert had a great career, and he couldn't afford to offend him at all, so he could only grit his teeth and keep silent.
A gleam flashed in the owner's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Yi flatteringly, "My lord, I never thought that Master Yu would do such a shameful thing that would insult the reputation of my medicine shop! My lord, don't worry. , I will burn this batch of medicine immediately, and I will definitely be more careful in the future!"
The owner's intention of abandoning the army to protect the commander-in-chief is obvious, Xiao Yi looked at the other party with a half-smile, and he was sweating profusely when he didn't speak.
"Grandfather," Xiao Yi turned to look at Lin Jingchen, "What do you mean?"
Lin Jingchen smiled lightly, and said meaningfully: "My boss, the medicinal materials sold by your bank have deceived the people, shouldn't there be some compensation?"
The owner is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, he understood, and he agreed with a smile: "This old man is right! Then our store will arrange a free consultation for the common people for ten days, including medicinal materials, and will not take any money. What does the old man think? "
Lin Jingchen hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao Yi said lazily: "Ten days?"
He just raised his brows so frightened that his boss almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly changed his words: "Half a month?"
Xiao Yi looked at him and didn't say anything, but his boss was like a frightened bird, sweating profusely and hurriedly changed his words: "One month! We have a free clinic for one month!"
Only then did Xiao Yi hook the corners of his mouth in satisfaction: "If you are obedient and obedient..."
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones definitely don't dare!" The boss repeatedly waved his hands.
Lin Ziran on the side didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just looked at Xiao Yi with frowning eyes. This son of the Zhennan Prince is indeed as rumored, a playboy who can only cause trouble and bully men and women!
Cousin betrothed to him, what a flower stuck in cow dung!
After leaving Huang's Medicine Store, Xiao Yi saw that it was almost noon, so he proposed to go to Guiyuan Pavilion for lunch.
The others had no objection, but this lunch was by no means pleasant. In just half an hour, Nangong Yue was convinced that her cousin Lin Ziran had various opinions on Xiao Yi, which didn't seem like a simple prejudice.
Nangong Yue thought about it, but didn't say anything.
After lunch, Nan Gongyue and Xiao Yi took Lin Jingchen and Lin Ziran to continue wandering around the capital city. They wandered happily for an afternoon before sending them back to their temporary residence.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi personally sent the brothers and sisters Nangong Yue and Nangong Xin back to Nangong Mansion, and then reluctantly left.
On the way back, they went to a time-honored store to buy Lin's favorite rose cake, and Nangong Xin was very interested in delivering it to Lin herself.
On the way to Qianyun Courtyard, Nangong Yue saw that there was no one around, so she asked Nangong Xin in a low voice: "Brother, before you and grandpa arrived at Huang's Medicine Store, where did you go, and did anything special happen?" What?... Is there some misunderstanding between Cousin Ran and Ah Yi?"
Nangong Xin scratched her head and said with some distress: "Probably because of that Miss Li..."
"Miss Li? Which Miss Li?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. How did she get involved with a girl
"Sister, you don't know each other. We met each other in Qiwan Lane." After a pause, Nangong Xin simply started from the beginning, "When A Yi and I went to pick up my grandfather and cousin Ran this morning, my grandfather had already left alone. We went to Yaohang Street, so we left our cousin there waiting for us. So the three of us rode horses to Yaohang Street together. Unexpectedly, when we passed Qiwan Lane, A Yi’s Yueying accidentally bumped into a Miss Li, but my cousin may be angry with A Yi because of this matter."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Ah Yi's horse hurt someone?"
"Sister, don't worry, Miss Li is not injured." Nangong Xin quickly explained, and praised in admiration, "Ah Yi's riding skills are indeed superb, and when the distance was less than a few inches, he just stopped Yue Ying. Originally, I couldn’t blame Ah Yi for this matter. We were riding well, and that Miss Li suddenly rushed out from the corner. Fortunately, Ah Yi’s reaction was fast enough, but Miss Li was still frightened and fainted from fright.”
"Since that girl is fine, it's fine. What happened to that girl Li?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows strangely. This neither hurt anyone nor killed anyone, but why did my cousin hate Xiao Yi
Nangong Xin said: "Then Miss Li woke up very quickly, and said that she was fine and it was none of A Yi's business. She was in a hurry to get medicine for her father, and she was in a hurry, so she accidentally rushed over Ma Qian also said that she fainted because she hadn't eaten in the past few days... She kept apologizing to A Yi." Nangong Xin sighed and said sympathetically, "Miss Li looks pitiful too. , There are many patches on the clothes, and she looks very haggard. Her father has been ill for almost a month, and all the money in the family has been brought to the doctor."
A gleam flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. Why did she feel that this story sounded familiar... It was a bit like a plot from a playbook. If it is in the playbook, how should it develop next
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, and said with deep meaning: "Then Miss Li is reasonable."
"Later, A Yi threw her a piece of silver as compensation. Who knew that Miss Li refused to accept it, saying that she would not be rewarded for nothing. How could she accept A Yi's benefits for nothing. A Yi said that if she didn't want it, she could give it to her. Beggar, and then rode away.... Then Cousin Ran became angry." Nangong Yue frowned in distress, but he didn't quite understand why Cousin Ran was angry, "Cousin Ran said A Yi was too arrogant, said Not only did he not repent for what he did wrong, but he also humiliated Ms. Li. A Yi said that if Cousin Zhen was so kind, he could help Miss Li heal her father, and then he ignored Cousin Ran and left .”
As she said that, Nangong Xin thought of something again, and said, "That's right. Sister, we also met Cousin Xiao."
Bai Muxiao?! Nangong Yue became a little interested, "What's going on?"
"After Ah Yi left, Cousin Ran wanted to help that Miss Li. Cousin Xiao happened to be ahead of us and asked the maid to help Miss Li. Afterwards, we sent Miss Li to the nearest family together. I went to the medical clinic, and then I went to meet my grandfather, A Yi and the others."
Nangong Yue hooked the corners of her lips, and said with a half-smile, "Cousin Xiao is still so kind."
Nangong Xin said sharply: "Sister, I think Cousin Xiao is not the same as when she was a child."
Nangong Yue smiled and didn't speak, but the sudden appearance of Miss Li made her a little interested. This time, is this a coincidence, or...
During the conversation, the two arrived at Qianyun Courtyard, and at this time, the Bai Muxiao they were talking about was drinking tea in the private seat on the second floor of Taibai Building, and the person sitting across the table from her was an elegant and handsome man, It was Han Lingfu, the third prince.
Since returning from Hunting Palace, the two have seen each other from time to time, Bai Muxiao can feel his affection for her, but she doesn't want to wrong herself for this love.
If he is destined not to be able to marry him as his wife, then she will assist him to ascend to the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme and become an eternal cinnabar mole in his heart.
Han Lingfu looked at her with burning eyes, poured a cup of tea for her himself, and said: "...Xiao'er, today my father specially called me to the Imperial Study Room after the morning court, and said that he planned to let me go to the Ministry of War to stay in a few days." For a while... Among the princes, I was the first to be sent to the six departments as a trainee, thanks to you for giving me an idea."
"I will be satisfied if I can help His Highness." Bai Muxiao said calmly, "The emperor used you this time. According to Xiao'er's observation, it also has the intention of probing, and wants to see if His Highness will borrow you." This is an opportunity to win over the courtiers and cultivate party members. Therefore, His Highness only needs to do business well at that time, and don't care about the others. The courtiers are all ruthless, as long as they see His Highness is favored by the emperor, they will naturally lean towards you .”
Han Lingfu nodded thoughtfully, "Xiao'er is right, now is the critical moment, and we must not lose the big because of small things."
Bai Muxiao continued with a smile: "Xiao'er still has a few words to send to His Highness."
"Xiao'er, please tell me."
"Your Highness, although the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, he is also your father. Your Highness, when you treat the Emperor as a monarch, don't forget that he is also your father." Bai Muxiao said slowly, with a calm face , There is a convincing power in the bright black eyes, "You should show a son's admiration and admiration for his father at the right time."
Han Lingfu was thoughtful, "For example..."
"Usually, Your Highness can send some thoughtful small gifts to the Emperor." Bai Muxiao talked confidently, "The Emperor is rich in the world, and he can get what he wants. Isn't there a saying that courtesy is light and affection is important? The things His Highness gives may not be It is worth a few dollars, but as long as the emperor feels His Highness's filial piety, it will be much more useful than giving those rare things! Your Highness can also send some small gifts made by yourself, some food and other things, as appropriate Showing a son's concern for his father. The emperor can't leave the palace easily, and if your highness finds some interesting gadgets, you can also get them for the emperor to enjoy and play with." At this point, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Maybe, you can Let the emperor experience the joy of sharing the joy with the people."
Han Lingfu's eyes sparkled when he heard this, he looked at Bai Muxiao burningly, and said, "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years."
"Your Highness is so honored, my little girl is ashamed." Bai Muxiao said modestly, "It's His Highness who has a big heart. How could this ordinary man listen to my little girl's words. His Highness accepts advice widely, which is the way of a king. .”
Bai Muxiao's few words made Han Lingfu's heart blaze, and he said enviously: "Xiao'er, your knowledge is not inferior to those dignified seven-foot men, let me admire you!"
Bai Muxiao lowered her eyes slightly, a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Xiao'er," Han Lingfu said, looking at her affectionately, "I'm asking you out today, actually I want to tell you good news. I've already thought of a way to get the media to marry you as my concubine."
Bai Muxiao was slightly startled, and looked at Han Lingfu who was only a short distance away from her in disbelief.
She knew that her status and status were not worthy of him, so she never thought of becoming a concubine, but Han Lingfu actually thought of a way?!
If there is a real chance for her to marry her as a legitimate concubine, will she be willing
The answer immediately came to her mind...
He is such an excellent and noble man, but he treats her with sincerity, heart and soul, there is no such superficial things as status and status between them, only sincerity!
She bit her lower lip, and asked without answering, "You said there is a way, but what is it?" There was a trace of tension and expectation in her eyes.
Han Lingfu understood what she meant, and with a strong look of joy on his face, he hurriedly said: "Xiao'er, since you have returned with your mother, you are no longer a member of the Bai family. As long as you adopt the name of Nangong Shilang Next, if you become the daughter-in-law of the head of the Nangong family, then your status is naturally enough to marry me as the concubine."
Bai Muxiao was startled slightly, and murmured: "Become my uncle's daughter?" Her heart thumped twice, it didn't seem impossible.
"Yes." Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao tenderly, "I told my concubine mother, and concubine mother also agreed, if you can become the daughter of the Nangong family, she will personally help me intercede with imperial father Father may not want me to marry the daughter of the Nangong family, but he probably won't object to me marrying you." If Bai Muxiao adopts Nangong Qin's name, although she becomes the daughter of the Nangong family in name, she is only an adoptive after all. Female, separated by one floor, I believe the emperor will have less scruples. But Bai Muxiao originally has half of the blood of the Nangong family, and after becoming the daughter of the Nangong family, he can also get the support of the Nangong family.
Not only can he marry his sweetheart, but also get the help of Nangong family and Shilin, that can really kill two birds with one stone. Han Lingfu couldn't help but beam with joy.
After a while, Bai Muxiao finally nodded and said, "I will think about this matter carefully."
"Xiao'er!" Han Lingfu couldn't help holding her hand, his affectionate eyes fixed on Bai Muxiao's face, "Soon, we will be together in a fair and honest manner!"
Bai Muxiao didn't agree to it affirmatively. Until she left Taibailou and got into the carriage, she was thinking about Han Lingfu's suggestion and the feasibility of adopting her uncle Nangong Qin.
Will uncle agree
Should be!
After being adopted by my eldest uncle, I took the Nangong family's surname, which is equivalent to the daughter of the Nangong family becoming the third concubine. Once Han Lingfu becomes the emperor in the future, then the Nangong family will be relatives, and this skill of being a dragon will never escape!
Such a good thing, the uncle can figure it out as long as he analyzes the pros and cons, he shouldn't be so stupid to refuse, right
The key point of this matter is still how she will adopt to her uncle and become the daughter of the Nangong family
Bai Muxiao frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. She must not be the one to ask the Nangong family about this matter. If so, she would be left behind. It would be best for Nangong Mansion to beg him to become Nangong Qin's daughter by adoption!
But how should we make Nangong Mansion take the initiative to ask himself
This has to be discussed in the long run!
-off topic-
Someone is going to die...
