King Zhennan sat in the Bixiao Hall for a while, asked Nangong Yue to prepare a banquet for Yongyang, and left on the pretext of business.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Not long after, Concubine Wei delivered the pair of cards in person, and Nangong Yue asked Xiao Fei to accompany Yong Yang and the others first, while she went to arrange the welcome banquet.
While talking, Xiao Fang's servant girl's bright eyes came, and after entering the room to salute, she said respectfully: "Knowing that His Highness is coming, Madam specially ordered a servant to come to greet His Highness. Madam is not feeling well, I hope His Majesty forgives Madam for not being able to come in person."
Yong Yang nodded and said: "I know, let's step back."
Bright eyes turned pale. It stands to reason that under such circumstances, shouldn't the Eldest Princess greet Madam first and then visit Madam? This way she is easily dismissed. How will she deal with business when she goes back
Ming Mou wanted to say a few more words, but Yong Yang waved his hand directly.
Bright eyes blessed Fushen, hesitantly retreated, she deliberately walked slowly, but until she went out, she didn't hear a voice calling her.
Nangong Yue watched it amusedly, Xiao Fang's little thought really made others fools, and only Zhennan Wang had such a temperament that she could easily fool her for decades.
Before dinner, Xiao Yi rushed back from the camp in Luoyue City.
The reception banquet was held in the palace, Xiao Fang was still in confinement, so naturally he couldn't attend, Wei was only qualified to serve dishes, and only a few juniors from the palace could serve the table except King Zhennan and Mrs Fang.
After giving a meeting gift and a reception banquet, King Zhennan personally sent Yong Yang and Mrs. Fang back to Bixiao Hall.
Originally, the Xiaofang family was deprived of the imperial order, and the King of Zhennan didn't care too much. Anyway, in the southern border, whether the Xiaofang family has an imperial order or not is the mistress of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but now, he feels the inconvenience.
It's really not decent for the mistress of the palace to have no orders.
King Zhennan was a little worried.
Old Master Fang was still weak, so Xiao Yi pushed him back to Tingyu Pavilion first, and King Zhennan also talked with Yongyang for a while before leaving.
Not long after, Xiao Yi came back, Yong Yang winked at Nan Gongyue, the latter immediately understood, and took Fu Yunyan out on the pretext that he wanted to see the special products they brought from the capital.
Nangong Yue knew that Yong Yang wanted to ask Xiao Yi about Wen Yu, but it seemed that Fu Yunyan didn't know about it.
Thinking about it, Fu Yunyan has a bright personality and no scheming. If she knows the truth, I'm afraid she won't be able to hide it when facing Wen Yu.
After they finished looking at the special products, Yong Yang also finished talking about the business. It was getting late, so Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue sent them back to the courtyard where they lived, and then walked back hand in hand.
In the night wind, Xiao Yi's voice was clear and bright, "Grandmother Yongyang said she found that Wen Yu and the second prince were getting closer."
Nangong Yue was slightly taken aback, "Could it be that the matter of Wen Yu was done by the Second Prince?"
Although it is an interrogative sentence, both of them know that it should be the case.
The second prince, Han Lingguan, has always been very low-key, but no matter how low-key he is, from the current point of view, his ambition to seize the heir apparent may not be less than that of Han Lingfu. By virtue of Wen Yu, he is trying to win Yong Yang to his side.
Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips, and said with a sneer: "Shortly after we left, Wen Yu secretly proposed to Grandma Yongyang that he fell in love with A Yi at first sight. Grandma Yongyang really asked Mrs. Fu to go with Princess Yuncheng It’s just a matter of snooping, but fortunately, I received a letter from Xiao Hezi later, so this matter will be settled.”
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, "Why didn't Grandma Yongyang expose him?"
"Grandmother Yongyang should have her intentions." Xiao Yi held her hand and said as he walked, "Grandmother Yongyang came here this time because of your gift, and secondly, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. I want to see how Wen Yu will act during her absence. Damn girl, don't worry, Grandmother Yong Yang is not an ordinary housewife, she is already on guard, so Wen Yu won't try to please her."
Nangong Yue nodded lightly, with a lingering sadness in her heart.
She knew how much Grandmother Yongyang missed her young abducted daughter, and how much she regretted not taking good care of her back then, and even sacrificed herself for decades. Wen Yu's "grandson" lost and regained, to Yong Yang, it was a rain of rain, but now, the rain of rain has turned into arsenic.
Han Lingguan...
In order to win the heir, it is really unscrupulous!
If it weren't for the clear laws of heaven that made them discover Wen Yu's inappropriateness, and they don't know how long Grandma Yongyang will be deceived, I'm afraid there will be little room for change...
Feeling the warmth of Xiao Yi's palm, Nangong Yue leaned her head on his shoulder.
The night became more and more quiet, and the breathing and heartbeat of the two seemed to merge together.
…
Early the next morning, King Zhennan and Xiao Yi took Yong Yang to the camp of Luoyue City. On the one hand, Yong Yang wanted to meet her old friends in the same robe, and on the other hand, King Zhennan wanted Yong Yang to see them The demeanor of the Southern Border Army.
Fu Yunyan went out with Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, and they went to the house where Lin Jingchen lived temporarily in the southwest corner of Luoyue City.
But what I didn't expect was that after the carriage entered the gate, I learned from the handyman that the masters were not there.
Nangong Yue sent someone over early in the morning to send a message to Han Qixia to confirm that Han Qixia hadn't left the house today before bringing Fu Yunyan here.
The mother-in-law quickly explained: "Mrs. Xiao, something happened to a family at the end of the alley just now. The beam collapsed and happened to crush the daughter-in-law of that family. Originally, the family wanted to ask the old man to take a look, but the old man just didn't At home, the girl was a little worried, so she went over to have a look."
The beam of the house crushed someone, and the injuries can be minor or serious... Nangong Yue hurriedly said to Baihui: "Baihui, take the medicine box, let's go and have a look." Baihui immediately took out the medicine box in the carriage.
The mother-in-law was busy leading the way for Nangong Yue and the others. This small alley is not big enough for a carriage and a horse to go side by side. Normally, the depth of the alley is very quiet, but today there is still a distance of more than ten feet. From far away, you can hear a noisy noise coming from the end of the alley.
Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan trotted over at a faster pace, and soon saw a lot of people surrounded by layers of people in front of a room at the end of the alley, and the onlookers were whispering among themselves:
"Aunt Li is really unlucky. The whole family is away. When she came back to get some things, the beam collapsed..."
"I heard that it just hit the shoulder. If it hit the head, it will be hopeless!"
"So, Aunt Li's luck is not too bad."
"..."
Baihui opened the way ahead, and Nangong Yue and the three squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, when a female voice in front of them asked nervously: "Miss Han, how is Aunt Li's injury?"
Then I heard Han Qixia's familiar voice: "I have a broken shoulder, it should be fine... Aunt Li, you can't go out to work this month, you have to rest at home." Her voice was gentle, confident and calm, revealing With a soothing power.
The female voice just now praised with relief: "Miss Han is indeed the granddaughter of Dr. Lin, with a benevolent heart..."
During the conversation, a man's panting voice came from behind: "Everyone, give way! The doctor is here! The doctor is here!"
As soon as they heard that the doctor was coming, the crowd of onlookers automatically leaned aside, making way for a short, fat middle-aged man and a bearded doctor in a gray robe.
The three of Nangong Yue also came to the center of the crowd, and saw a middle-aged woman in a lake-colored dress lying on the stone steps at the door of the house, and squatting in front of her was a young girl in green with a braid.
The middle-aged man thanked the girl first, and then anxiously said to the doctor: "Doctor Wang, please show my wife..."
After explaining a few words to the doctor, the girl in Tsing Yi picked up the medicine box and stood up to leave.
As soon as she turned around, she met Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, who were looking at her with a smile not far away. At first, a warm smile appeared on her face, and in the middle of the smile, she couldn't hide her surprise.
Her unbelievable eyes fell on Fu Yunyan who was wearing a fire-colored dress beside Nangong Yue, and she was almost dumbfounded.
For a moment, the noise around her seemed to be far away from her, and she felt as if she had been pulled away from it, as if she didn't know where she was.
"Six... Liu Niang!"
After a while, Han Qixia stammered and blinked, as if she thought she was dreaming.
Fu Yunyan briskly walked up to Han Qixia, smiling brightly like the sun: "Cousin Xia!"
Han Qixia blinked again, her eyes were filled with tears, and her pink lips trembled slightly: "Liu Niang!"
This is really not a place to talk, Nangong Yue hurriedly said: "Sister Xia, Liu Niang, let's go back and talk."
Han Qixia and Fu Yunyan held hands, as if they had returned to the days when they were young in the capital. Both of them and Yuan Yuyi are cousins, they grew up together since they were young, and their relationship is like sisters, this childhood friendship is deeply engraved in their hearts.
Han Qixia's eyes could not help showing a trace of fragility.
After returning to the Lin residence, she finally couldn't restrain herself and hugged Fu Yunyan tightly, and the crystal tears fell down like pearls with a broken string...
"Liu Niang..."
After catching up with Nangong Yue and her party in Jingzhou two months ago, Han Qixia cried once, and she has never shed tears since then. She suppressed all the anxiety, all the pain, all the longing... Trying hard to forget In the past, adapting to the new life, trying to become the "Han girl" in the eyes of everyone.
She worked so hard, thinking that she had thought clearly, but the moment she saw Fu Yunyan just now, it seemed that something had opened up, as if something had been released from the depths of her soul like a bursting flood... It turned out that she was still wronged of!
Seeing Han Qixia crying bitterly while hugging Fu Yunyan, even Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had tears in their eyes.
In the past two months, they have seen how hard Han Qixia has worked, but they have no way to comfort her... Seeing her cry now, while feeling sentimental, they finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Han Qixia is so strong, she will definitely be better in the future!
After a while, Han Qixia finally stopped crying. Fu Yunyan handed her a piece of handkerchief, and said jokingly: "Cousin Xia, you are so old, why are you crying more than when you were a child!" She smiled at Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei said, "Ah Yue, Ah Fei, don't you know? Cousin Xia was a crying bag when she was a child. She cried when she fell down, cried when her things were robbed, and cried when her dress was dirty..."
A few words from Fu Yunyan made everyone laugh, Han Qixia pretended to be angry and said: "Liu Niang, if you talk about it again, I will ignore you."
The four girls looked at each other, and after the sadness of parting in their eyes dissipated, it finally cleared up after the rain.
Han Qixia wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Liu Niang, Sister Yue, Sister Fei, let's go in and sit down."
The girls walked into the side hall talking and laughing, and the little maid hurriedly brought a basin of warm water and waited for Han Qixia to wash her face.
After the warm white scarf covered her cheeks, Han Qixia felt a burst of relief all over her body. After washing off the remaining tears on her face, she felt relieved and her mood calmed down a lot.
A pair of eyes washed with tears were a little red, but unusually firm and bright, just like the clear sky after the rain.
Fu Yunyan looked at Han Qixia indiscriminately. In just over two months, Han Qixia was really different. Her fair skin was sun-tanned, her soft eyes became calm and resolute, and her temperament was still gentle but full of strength. It seems to be a different person, clean, agile and tough, from a flower kept in a greenhouse to a wild grass that is not afraid of wind and rain...
Fu Yunyan laughed, she likes the change of Cousin Xia!
Instead of thinking about what you lost all the time, it's better to think about how to start a new life.
Just like what my grandmother said, although the first emperor rose to the top and established the Dayu Dynasty a few decades ago, the late emperor's father, that is, her great-grandfather, was just a reckless man who crawled out of the mud...
Many flashes flashed through Fu Yunyan's mind, thinking of Qu Jiayue, thinking of the second princess, thinking of Han Huaijun, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe going to the battlefield one after another... The world is impermanent, like the tides rise and fall!
It's great that Cousin Xia can do this!
"Liu Niang," Han Qixia asked after she had calmed down, "Why did you come to Southern Xinjiang all of a sudden?"
"It's not 'suddenly'..." Fu Yunyan glanced at Nangong Yue with a half-smile, and told about Xiao Yi's invitation of Yongyang to come to Nanjiang to attend Nangong Yue's wedding ceremony. Complained together.
Seeing that Fu Yunyan was still as cheerful as before, Han Qixia couldn't stop smiling. Liu Niang is still that Liu Niang, how nice!
The girls recounted the past and gossiped freely, and almost didn't know what year it was... until the woman doing chores came to ask Han Qixia hesitantly, judging by the weather, it might rain tonight, and the sacks on the cart were for sale. Do you want to unload the pinellia and put it in the warehouse.
Xiao Fei blinked strangely, and blurted out: "Sister Xia, you want to sell pinellia? But you lack..." money
Xiao Fei felt a little embarrassed to say the last two words.
Xiao Fei is no longer the girl Xiao who regarded silver as a thing. She intends to open free herbal tea shops all over southern Xinjiang. In order to save money, Xiao Fei and Han Qixia would often go to buy raw medicinal materials. Some of these raw medicinal materials would be consigned to the pharmacy for some processing fees, while some Han Qixia would do it themselves. Xiao Fei felt a little guilty, Han Qixia concocted medicinal materials for her for free, but she forgot that Han Qixia is no longer the eldest daughter of Prince Qi's mansion, and the daily expenses have to be spent in silver... She really wasn't considerate enough.
Xiao Fei was as easy to understand as a piece of white paper, Han Qixia understood her thoughts at once, quickly shook her head and said: "Sister Fei, no." As she said that, Han Qixia's honey-colored pretty face revealed a hint of shyness.
Nangong Yue's heart moved, and she asked with a smile: "Sister Xia, could it be my grandfather..."
Han Qixia nodded in embarrassment, "I haven't succeeded yet..."
Fu Yunyan looked at Han Qixia for a while, and Nangong Yue for a while, and urged, "You two, don't play tricks!"
Nangong Yue explained with a smile: "Those Pinelliae were concocted by Sister Xia herself. According to the rules of the Lin family, during the period of learning to concoct medicinal materials, students need to sell the medicinal materials they concocted by themselves to pharmacies or medical centers, and use the money they get. Go buy raw medicinal materials."
In fact, this is similar to the rule that allows students to run a medical clinic for three years before leaving the teacher. For one thing, it can be used as exercise. If the medicinal materials are not well prepared, they will naturally not be sold. And secondly, it is also to cultivate the ability of disciples to be independent.
In the last life, Nangong Yue also took the medicinal materials prepared by herself and went to one pharmacy after another. I remember that she was only eleven years old at that time...
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth were raised high, and when she was about to speak, Fu Yunyan rushed ahead of her and said, "Cousin Xia, let's accompany you to sell medicine. You are just too thin-skinned," she patted her chest and said, "Yes I'll take care of it and you can sell it!"
Who would have thought that Han Qixia shook her head, and said softly but firmly: "No, my grandfather said, I have to do it myself."
Fu Yunyan was not discouraged, and said again: "Cousin Xia, even if we can't help you out, we can always give you courage!"
Han Qixia hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Thinking about going to sell medicine, both Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei felt a little fresh and excited.
The girls acted immediately, and asked the concierge to prepare a carriage. After burning incense, two carriages left the Lin residence, one was carrying people, and the other was dragging a cart containing the bags of pinellia.
Han Qixia took this batch of pinellia to the medicine shop in the west of the city yesterday, so today she chose to go to the south of the city.
She went to five pharmacies and clinics, but it was not going well. Han Qixia had only been studying medicine for more than a month. Although she was guided by a famous teacher, the way of concocting it did not happen overnight. These pinellia were qualified in terms of concocting, but , Most pharmacies and medical clinics really look down on it.
Occasionally, one or two people feel that the quality is not bad, and the price is also suitable, so they ask a little more, and when they hear that the pinellia is made by Han Qixia, their attitude becomes cold, and there is a clear meaning in their eyes: this kind of yellow-haired girl understands What? I thought I could fly into the sky after learning a little fur?!
Han Qixia couldn't force her, so she could only go to the next one.
These days, being rejected repeatedly, Han Qixia was shy at first, but now she is almost a little numb.
She failed again and again, remade again and again, and sold it again and again. After experiencing the initial frustration, her fighting spirit became even more high-spirited.
After entering the seventh pharmacy, Han Qixia was rejected again as expected... As soon as she left the pharmacy, Fu Yunyan encouraged her: "Cousin Xia, let's go to the next one..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a voice from behind: "Girl, stop! Our shopkeeper wants to talk to the girl."
Hearing this, the girls all showed joy and looked at each other. Could it be that there is something going on this time?!
Han Qixia hastily turned around and said, "Let my little brother lead the way."
The four of them followed the staff into the inner hall, and saw a fat shopkeeper sitting on a mahogany armchair with a familiar face...
Where have you seen it?!
Before Han Qixia could remember, the other party had already stood up abruptly: "It's you!" Her round, chubby face was flushed red, and all the old and new grudges welled up in her heart.
At this time, Nangong Yue and the others also remembered, isn't this the drug dealer surnamed Li they met in the small market outside the city before
Only Fu Yunyan was confused and looked at the three of Nangong Yue suspiciously.
Han Qixia went to many pharmacies these days, and in the end, she didn't care about the names of those pharmacies. Now that she thought about it, she seemed to see the signboard of the pharmacy saying "Lijia pharmacy" just before entering the door.
Boss Li's threats were still in my ears back then, Han Qixia, Nangong Yue, and Xiao Fei looked at each other, so today's business must be impossible.
They turned around and were about to leave, but the boss called out to them: "Aren't you going to sell pinellia? Don't leave!"
Han Qixia was startled, and looked over suspiciously. Didn't he say that he would never let them go
Of course, Boss Li also remembers his cruel words, but who made him urgently need some pinellia right now! There is no reason to push out the money that is about to be obtained! Besides, since this little girl has come out to sell medicines, then presumably...
A gleam flashed in Boss Li's eyes, and he put on airs and asked, "I don't know what pinellia these girls brought?"
Although raw pinellia is poisonous, it can also be used as an external medicine. There are many ways to prepare raw pinellia, and the three commonly used processed products are Qing pinellia, ginger pinellia and French pinellia. The efficacy of the three has its own emphasis. Others include fairy pinellia, pinellia song, etc., so Boss Li asked this question.
Han Qixia hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Jiang Banxia." She thought to herself: It is said that businessmen value profits, and it is true. Obviously there was such an unhappiness before, but now it seems that nothing happened.
Boss Li's eyes lit up, which was a coincidence. He hurriedly said again: "Girl, let me see!"
Han Qixia took out ginger pinellia wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to the other party.
Boss Li opened the veil and saw that the pieces of pinellia wrapped in the veil were light yellowish brown, and the appearance was not bad. He smelled the smell again, chewed a piece, and then spit it into the teacup beside him, he already knew it in his mind.
His nimble eyeballs rolled around, and he was picky on purpose: "Girl, your pinellia is only middle-grade and low-grade, and the quantity is not large. We don't accept it on weekdays, but I think we are destined to help the girl if we can." How about a handful... a tael of silver?"
The quality of these pinellia is really mediocre, Han Qixia is still far from being able to produce middle and high-grade pinellia, but pinellia of different quality has different uses, in terms of ginger pinellia, the price of one tael of silver is really low some.
Of course Han Qixia knew that he was intentionally lowering the price, so she fought hard with reason, and finally "reluctantly" settled the deal with two taels of silver. Boss Li also earnestly said that if she still has any medicinal materials to sell, he will also accept them here...
After more than half an hour, they finally came out of the pharmacy.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Han Qixia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Liu Niang, Sister Yue, Sister Fei, I succeeded!"
In the future, she will continue to work hard to create a better pinellia!
She smiled brightly, and the other three girls laughed too.
They suffered a bit today, but both buyers and sellers got what they deserved. For Han Qixia, being able to sell the medicinal materials she concocted is already the greatest recognition!
Han Qixia couldn't help but took out what was hidden in her belt, it was only two taels of silver, but it was heavy in her hands.
This is the first time in her life that she has earned money with her own hands.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but hooked up again, revealing the pear dimple on one cheek, which looked pretty and lovely.
Fu Yunyan leaned over with a smile and said, "Cousin Xia, you made money today, shouldn't you treat us to something to eat?"
"Liu Niang is right." Nangong Yue echoed solemnly, "Whoever sees it has a share!"
Even Xiao Fei joked, "Why don't you go to Huanxi Pavilion?" Thinking that Han Qixia and Fu Yunyan might not know about Huanxi Pavilion, Xiao Fei explained, "Huanxi Pavilion only entertains women, and you can enjoy tea and snacks inside. Talking about poetry and fu, listening to the piano and distinguishing music...it is quite an elegant place."
When Xiao Fei said this, everyone became a little interested and agreed with a smile.
Baihui said something to the coachman, and the coachman raised his whip and drove all the way to the east of the city.
