Mrs. Zhen Guogong has naturally heard the name of the great pharmacist Baili, her brows slightly furrowed, and she slowly shook her head and said: "The pills made by the great pharmacist Baili, even if they hold a lot of money, may not be able to get them. This year's Ji Shitang Most of the medicines for Baili Great Pharmacist have been determined by the powerful, and if we come to the door now, we will definitely return empty-handed. Forget it, although the soup is bitter, it will pass if you endure it.”
"If you drink that bitter decoction all day, any good appetite will be ruined. Besides, Madam, your appetite is not good for me to think of a way." Duke Zhen made a decision in his heart.
Junshi shook his head gently and said, "Husband, you are looking for the pill for me at this time, it must be a favor. We have just returned to Beijing, and my father holds the military power in the north again, so don't follow me. It is good for the powerful and courtiers to come too close."
"I have my own measure on this matter." Chu Bufan gave her a soothing look, then nodded at his wife's two nieces, and strode away to the outer courtyard.
When Jun Li'er saw Duke Zhen Guo go out, her cautious expression gradually relaxed. She leaned in front of Jun's, and said: "Aunt, then Ji Shitang also has a branch in Yancheng. If it is not available in the capital, my niece will write to my father to buy a few pills based on our Jun family's status in Yancheng. The face, Ji Shitang will still give it."
The word "Yancheng" again aroused the worries of Mrs. Zhenguo's wife. Seeing this, Jun Miao'er hurriedly comforted her in a low voice: "Aunt, father and uncles have used all the connections they can use. As long as my cousin is still in Yancheng, they will definitely be able to find it!"
"Yes, yes! Maybe cousin and the others have already found their cousin and are on their way back to Beijing!" Jun Li'er also hurriedly echoed.
Jun Miao'er is gentle and charming, and Jun Li'er is lively and cheerful. These two sisters were brought by the Duke of Zhen who was worried that his wife would become ill with his daughter, and specially brought people from Yancheng to accompany her. With these two sisters by their side and smiling happily, Jun Shi temporarily put aside her worries and worries about her daughter, and chatted with the two about some hot topics in Beijing.
After Jun's drank the medicine and went to sleep, Jun Miao'er and Jun Li'er returned to their yard.
"Fifth sister, do you think my cousin can be found?" Jun Miao'er spoke slowly and softly, as if she was sighing.
"Who knows, after all, more than ten years have passed. However, as long as people are still there, there will be a day when they will be found." Jun Li'er spoke cheerfully, revealing a refreshing energy.
Jun Miao'er gave her a meaningful look, and chuckled, "Only the fifth younger sister in the family looks similar to my aunt. If I don't know, I thought that the fifth younger sister was my aunt's daughter! If my cousin can't be found, it's uncertain. The aunt will take the fifth sister over to Cheng Huan's knees. At that time, the fifth sister will become the only girl in the town's palace. "
"Second sister, why did I hear what you said?" Jun Li'er restrained her smile and looked at her cousin lightly.
"Is there? Fifth sister is more worried." The smile on Jun Miao'er's face was even more gentle and moving. She gently moved the lotus step and entered her yard. In the Zhenguo Gongfu, the pair of cousins each have a yard, which is small but has its own merits. The most important point is that it is close to the "Qinghetang" where Mrs. Zhenguo lives.
Jun Miao'er was just a favored concubine at home. Because of her aunt-like temperament, she was sent by the family to accompany her aunt. Her father was the eldest of the Jun family's direct branch and the heir to the next patriarch. Although the title of "Patriarch" seems to be worthy of respect, it is not as official as the fifth sister's father.
If she was adopted, she would be the miss of the official family, and she was also the miss of a high-ranking family member, and was respected and sought after everywhere. Jun Li'er is the biggest stumbling block for her to become Miss Zhen Guo Gong! !
"Xiaomei, what do you mean by the second sister? Why do I want me to interfere with my aunt and them looking for a cousin?" Jun Li'er was straightforward and simple, but not stupid. How many fools came out of the gate of the mansion
Xiaomei frowned, glared at "Chunhui Garden", and said, "Miss, don't believe her! Not to mention whether auntie will adopt a stepdaughter from Jun's family, the uncle and auntie's family are in love. Looking for Miss Biao, if they know that Miss, you have made a move, they will definitely hate you."
"Do you still need to say that?" Jun Li'er shook off the tie around her waist and pouted, "A concubine is a concubine, she has the same virtue as her auntie, and is full of hearts and minds. I really think I'm stupid. She is a gunman? Although the name of Miss Zhen Guogong is very attractive, I am a prefect, too! My aunt loves me so much, I will not do anything to make her sad! Xiaomei, you Keep an eye on Dianchunhui Garden with Xiaozhao, lest Jun Miaoer cause trouble and implicate us!"
In the study room in the front yard, a tall man with gray hair and a unkempt beard bid farewell to Duke Zhen Guogong: "Major General, the fallen leaves return to their roots. It has been almost thirty years since my subordinates left their hometown, and it is time to return to their hometown to enjoy their old age."
"Uncle Gu, you are an old man who has followed your father for 30 years. On the way to exile, in order to save my second son, you almost risked your own life. To our Chu family, you are like a relative. Your family is also There is no one else left, why don't you stay in the mansion to help train a few stinky boys and train and train the guards." Duke Zhen Guo tried his best to keep him.
Lao Gu showed a naive smile and said, "I am the only one left in our clan, and I cannot let this clan be cut off from me. Before I joined the army, the patriarch made the decision and adopted a boy from the clan. When I go back this time, I want to go home and live for a while to test the character of my heir. If it's okay, I'll bring it back to the capital and run errands for the government. Second, my hometown is from Yancheng. It's not far, I can help you find Miss Xun"
When Duke Zhen Guo heard this, he didn't force it. He asked the housekeeper to fetch a few silver notes, which added up to nearly a thousand taels, and put them all into Lao Gu's hands: "You take these, your house in the east of the city, during the period of your absence, I will ask Changgui to give them to you. You take care of it." Changgui is the name of the housekeeper, the servant of the Chu family.
Lao Gu came out of the town's palace, packed two old clothes, hired a broken car and drove all the way north, towards an unknown town in the north of Yancheng.
In the nameless town, Mrs. Liu gave Gu Qiao a wink, and Gu Qiao nodded invisibly. This scene was watched by Gu Ye, who had been paying attention to the couple.
Gu Qiao cleared her throat and said to Gu Ming, who was looking around with novelty: "Ming'er, are you hungry? There is a baker on the corner over there. Go buy a few to fill your stomach." Ming six money.
Seeing two pieces of cooking cakes, Liu Shi said distressedly: "Why do you give him so much, just buy a cooking cake and taste it, don't we bring dry food?"
The dry food they brought was just a dumpling made of coarse grains and wild vegetables. How could there be any crispy and delicious pancakes? Gu Ming grabbed the copper plate in his father's hand, and Sa Yazi put it aside. As he ran, he turned back and winked at Gu Ye: "Sister, wait, my brother will buy you a cake to eat! The cake is delicious!!"
Liu shi chased out a few steps, but was stopped by Gu Qiao: "Come back! Isn't it just two dollars? Don't worry about it, it's important!"
Liu Shi came back cursing, her trotter-like claws pinched Gu Ye's arm, and she deftly avoided it. Gu Qiao grabbed Gu Ye, Liu Shi took the opportunity to squeeze her waist a few times, and rudely pulled her to a secluded place.
"Where are you taking me?" Gu Ye knew that the couple had no good intentions in taking her out of the mountain, and just gave Gu Ming away on the pretext of buying cooking cakes, just for their convenience.
"Where to take? Take you to enjoy happiness!!" Seeing that Gu Ye was struggling and unwilling to cooperate, Liu shi held her by the back collar and held her in his hand like a chick. Gu Qiao followed behind with her hands behind her back.
"Let go of me, I'm not going anywhere! I'll wait here for my brother!!" Gu Ye let go of his voice, but unfortunately Gu Ming had already run away and could not hear her call for help. This street is relatively remote, the doors of the houses on both sides are closed, and no one can be seen on the street from afar.
With a guilty conscience, Liu covered her mouth and dragged her quickly into a dilapidated yard. There was a carriage parked in the yard, and there was a suppressed cry from the car, a fat woman with a mole on her chin, crossed her waist and scolded: "Why are you crying? I sold it to you. Good luck! When you arrive in Yancheng, as long as you are obedient, you can eat spicy food! If anyone dares to escape and interrupt your dog legs!! Old Hei, Da Zhuang, let the old lady watch people closely! You two, what are you doing? Not everyone can enter here!!”
Liu Shi accompanied him and laughed, carried Gu Ye to the fat woman, and bowed: "I heard that you are buying girl"
The fat woman looked at Gu Ye critically with her eyes on the goods, and said, "Why is this girl in your family so thin? Isn't she sick?"
"I'm not sick, I'm not sick, it's okay! The family is poor, there are many children, and I can't eat enough, so I lost a bit of weight." Gu Qiao hurriedly explained.
Gu Ye's dark eyes stared at Gu Qiao's father, how ruthless he was to sell his daughter! Is the daughter's life so contemptible that it can be trampled on and given up at will
The fat woman looked at her face carefully for a while, and said, "Although she has lost a bit of weight, she is still good-looking! Especially these eyes, I don't know how many people can be fascinated when they grow up! This is two taels of silver. , take it! People stay, you can go!"
Liu also wanted to haggle. The fat woman waved her fat hand impatiently, and said, "Your girl is as thin as a cudgel, just weighs the weight, how much do you think it's worth? Twenty taels of silver, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it. Go, don't delay our departure to Yancheng!"
Gu Qiao teased the unwilling Liu Shi, and the two took to the streets again. Liu shi squinted his triangular eyes, and with a smile on his face, he tossed the piece of silver in his hand, and then put it in his mouth and bit it.
