After her boudoir school ended, Nangong Yue took Yimei to Qianyun Academy to look for Mrs. Lin.
"Sister Yue, come here quickly." Lin beckoned to her daughter, "Tomorrow is your birthday, come and see the present that your father and I have prepared for you, and see if you like it?"
Lin and Nangong Mu prepared a set of pearl jewelry for their daughter, including a pair of delicate pearl flowers and a pair of pearl earrings. All the pearls are the size of the tip of a thumb. Matching jewelry. It doesn't look ostentatious, but a dozen or so large pearls that are exactly the same are not only expensive, but also not easy to buy anywhere. Lin and Nangong Mu really put in a lot of thought.
"Mother, why bother! It's just my tenth birthday, just eat a bowl of longevity noodles." Nangong Yue affectionately took Lin's arm and sat on the beauty couch.
"That can't be done." Lin said angrily, "In the past three years, in order to keep filial piety for your grandfather, even if your parents gave you the best things, you couldn't wear them. Now it's hard to be a filial piety, and you still don't allow me to wear it properly. Dress up my daughter!"
"The daughter would like to thank father and mother for their kindness!" Nangong Yue said with a smile on her face, seemingly helpless.
Mrs. Lin looked outside and whispered to her daughter: "Your brother also prepared a gift for you, and asked me not to tell you."
Nangong Yue also deliberately whispered: "Well, I will pretend that I don't know anything."
After the mother and daughter talked for a while, Nangong Yue suddenly said: "It is really a great joy for Daddy to be appointed by His Majesty. Although it is not appropriate to make too much publicity, our family of four should close the door and congratulate Daddy. It is."
"Everyone's daughter is daddy's caring little padded jacket, and it's really Sister Yue who cares." Lin said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will cook by myself and cook a table of delicious dishes. Our family of four will celebrate your daddy."
"Then Yue'er is lucky." Nangong Yue looked like he had taken advantage of it, and then said, "Mother, Yue'er Zhang is so big, every time it is Daddy who gives me gifts, this time I also want to do it for Daddy. Prepare a gift."
"My sister Yue has really grown up." Lin said gratifiedly, "Then what gift do you plan to give your father?"
Nangong Yue's eyes sparkled, and she said: "Last time I brought daddy the tea from Qingyue Tea House, and daddy seemed to like it very much, so I plan to go there again to pick some good teas for daddy as gifts. Mother, what do you think? OK?"
Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Your father likes tea, this gift is really good."
With Lin's consent, Nangong Yue and Yimei got into the carriage of the mansion and went out after lunch.
Qingyue Tea House is not far away, and the carriage arrived in less than a stick of incense. After the carriage came to a complete stop, Nangong Yue got out of the carriage with Yimei's support.
When the Maitreya Buddha-like shopkeeper of the tea house saw Nangong Yue's master and servant coming in, he smiled like a flower on his face, and warmly greeted them from behind the counter, and respectfully invited them to the counter, saying: "My surname is Wang, miss, if you If you don’t dislike it, you can call the old man Shopkeeper Wang. I don’t know what kind of tea the girl wants?”
Nangong Yue walked to the counter, took out the white jade gold medal given by Guan Yubai, and said: "Is there any good tea for me to see."
The smile on Shopkeeper Wang's face subsided slightly, but soon he returned to normal, and took out several kinds of tea from the counter for Nangong Yue to choose.
"Miss, let's take a look at these types first to see if they suit your liking." He didn't stop, and asked softly, "Miss, are you here to find Mr. Lou?"
Nangong Yue picked out the tea leaves in her hand, and said softly: "I'm here to find Mr. Rong." After she finished speaking, she put down the tea leaves in her hand, with a dissatisfied expression, "Are there only these kinds? The shopkeeper couldn’t be hiding something for himself, he didn’t take out the good tea.”
"If the girl wants better ones, you can go to the backyard with the old man and choose carefully." Shopkeeper Wang laughed quickly.
Nangong Yue raised her chin and said arrogantly: "Then lead the way."
Shopkeeper Wang looked respectful, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Girl, please."
Nangong Yue and Yimei followed Shopkeeper Wang to the backyard of the tea house, until they reached a side room, Shopkeeper Wang stopped.
"Squeak--"
Shopkeeper Wang gently pushed open the door, "Girl, please!"
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and stepped into the wing room. Yimei followed closely behind, her expression quite nervous.
Sitting next to the round table in the middle of the wing was a young man with a sallow complexion wearing moon white clothes, who was Guan Yubai after his disguise. And beside him, the servant named Xiaosi was still following him, looking at Nangong Yue and the others indifferently.
"Young Master Rong." Nangong Yue nodded slightly at Guan Yubai, with a very casual attitude.
"Third Miss Nangong." Guan Yubai got up and bowed, showing all the courtesy, "Please sit down!"
After Nangong Yue sat down, he sat down and said: "I have already done what the girl ordered me to do."
Nangong Yue smiled without saying a word.
Guan Yubai was not in a hurry, and said again: "I don't know what enmity the girl has with the third prince?"
Nangong Yue still didn't speak, and Guan Yubai began to speak on his own: "The emperor is now in his prime, and the prince is growing up. The court seems to be getting stronger and stronger, but it is actually in crisis. Not to mention that there are people from the south of the Yangtze River nearby. The remnants of the previous dynasty caused chaos, and the vassal king was powerful. In his territory, the people probably only knew that there was a vassal king, but not the emperor; Although the queen's mother clan is powerful, but the emperor doesn't like it, and the five sons of the emperor are not to mention weak and sick, so it's hard to say whether they will live to the time of the fight for the crown." His eyes flickered a few times, and his index finger pointed gently On the desktop, "The eldest prince's biological mother died early, his mother's family is humble, and the eldest prince himself is very mediocre, so he probably has no chance for the throne. The other princes either died young or were young. In terms of the battle for the crown prince, the battle for the crown prince may eventually be decided." Between the second prince and the third prince. These two princes are naturally intelligent, and they are highly valued by the emperor. The imperial concubine and concubine Liu are also deeply favored by the emperor... In the end, it is hard to say who will be able to ascend to the supreme position." His The voice is gentle and calm, it sounds like a clear spring, nourishing the heart and lungs, but the content of the words is like a stormy sea.
Although Nangong Yue was silent, she was extremely shocked. I am a reborn person, so I naturally have a good idea of the development of the previous life. And this Guan Yubai can actually analyze seven or eight based on the current situation, he is indeed a genius in heaven.
She pursed her lips, and finally said slowly: "Since Mr. Rong has fulfilled my request, I will not break my promise. I am willing to treat your illness..."
Guan Yubai was still calm and calm, it was clearly related to the poison in his body, he didn't even show a hint of joy, as if everything was under his control. "Then Rong will thank the girl."
"But this condition needs to be changed..." Nangong Yue raised her eyes to look at him, her childish face exuded wisdom that did not belong to her age.
Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, showing a half-smile, as if he knew that Nangong Yue was going to sit on the ground and raise the price, and said gently: "Girl, please tell me."
Nangong Yue was too lazy to argue with him, so she just said lightly: "Young Master Rong, I don't need you to serve me for five years! You only need to do five things for me!" Nangong Yue had her own plan in mind, since she He has already paid such a big risk, and this Guan Yubai has always been a person with clear grievances and grievances. He was only asked to do five things. Now counting it, he seems to have suffered a big loss, but instead of using a five-year deal to draw the line The boundary between each other, it is better to let him always owe himself something... After all, he is not a thing in the pool, once he is free from the trouble of residual poison in this life, he will be able to go further than in the previous life!
A look of obvious surprise flashed in Guan Yubai's eyes, and he looked deeply at Nangong Yue, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets in her heart, or guess what her intentions were.
Of course he knew that the terms of the transaction he proposed were not fair to himself, and Nangong Yue would benefit greatly from it. But now it was he who wanted her - he needed her to take unnecessary risks.
How can I convince her
When he wrote the first note to her, he had thought about it carefully for a long time...
He once heard a wise saying from a friend: If there is 50% of the profit, the businessman will take risks; if there is double the profit, the businessman will dare to trample on all laws in the world; commit any crime, even at the risk of being beheaded.
He wanted Nangong Yue to take a huge risk to help him, so he had to offer her a profit that she couldn't refuse... But he didn't expect Nangong Yue to push away the almost obtained benefit.
Although he was very surprised, but of course Guan Yubai couldn't refuse this extremely favorable condition, so he nodded in agreement. The two clap together!
"Then I will give you the first treatment today." Nangong Yue said solemnly, "Please ask someone to prepare a quiet room, so that no one will disturb you, and all previous efforts will be wasted!"
"You don't need to tell the girl, we have already prepared it." Shopkeeper Wang replied impatiently.
Nangong Yue continued: "Then the things I told you to prepare in the note are ready?"
"That's natural." Guan Yubai nodded and said, "Young lady, please." As he spoke, he led the way ahead and led Nangong Yue into the inner room of the wing room.
In the inner room, the big bathtub, big steamer, two big water tanks, hundreds of silver needles, lots of herbs, and a big screen were already prepared as expected.
Nangong Yue nodded in satisfaction, and said, "First fill the tub with 70% water, and then put herbs in it as I said..."
Xiaosi immediately stepped forward, he looked thin, but his strength was great, he picked up the water tank and poured the water into the tub, seeing Deyimei speechless.
Then, Nangong Yue reported the names of a series of medicinal herbs: "Qingrui Teng five qian, peanut leaf half liang, alum one liang, reed root five qian, raw gypsum one liang..."
It takes half a cup of tea to give up all the herbs. Then, Nangong Yue said again: "Now put the tub on the steamer to steam."
Xiaosi followed suit again, and the fire was made by shopkeeper Wang himself... After a stick of incense, Nangong Yue tried the temperature of the water, and then said to Guan Yubai: "Mr. Rong, you can wear a middle coat now." Into the tub."
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the misty bathtub, and quickly dissuaded him: "Master, absolutely not! This is too dangerous. If you are not careful when boiling a frog in warm water, it will kill you!" Shopkeeper Wang It's not alarmist either.
