Just as she was about to refuse, she looked up and saw the princess's flowery smile, like a child who had won candy, and Zhen Shiniang stopped there with her hand.

Both the prince's palace and the general's palace are short of these four taels of gold.

She had already received it in her hand and sent it back, but she seemed petty, as if she had never seen it before. The thought flashed through her mind, and Zhen Shiniang smiled gently, "... They are just two ignorant children, but they cost the princess a lot of money.

"Hand it to Qiu Ju, "Put it away for the young master."

Seeing that Zhen Shiniang only hesitated and then accepted it without embarrassing herself at all, the princess felt relieved and nodded secretly, "...She is really a responsible person."

After chatting for a while, the princess heard someone talking outside the door. Knowing that something was wrong, the princess stood up.

Seeing her reluctantly looking at the waterwheel that had been wiped clean by the maid and placed neatly on the table, Zhen Shiniang simply asked the maid to pack it and let Princess Nanjun take it with her, "... as a toy for the little county master."

The princess was shocked.

Called a toy, this is a priceless treasure!

After thorough research, they were transformed into real water carts on both sides of the Li River. For the people in southwest China, which suffers from chronic drought, it is a blessing from heaven.

Seeing the princess's hesitation, Zhen Shiniang smiled and said, "It's just a toy. There are craftsmen at home who can make it."

After coming back to her senses, the princess nodded her thanks and said, "If Mrs. Shen can trust me in the future, I will do my best to help you." Her tone was particularly sincere.

Zhen Shiniang smiled slightly.

Qiu Ju turned around and complained to Zhen Shiniang, "...the young master has been thinking about her for more than a month, and she shouldn't just give her away like this." Not to mention that Jian Wu and Jian Wen would be distressed, but Shen Zhongqing would not let her go if she knew about it.

"I heard that there has been a severe drought in the southwest for two consecutive years. The Prince of Nanjun has led the people of Li to fetch water from the Li River to irrigate the fields, and they are miserable." Zhen Shiniang leaned lazily on the pillow and said in a faint voice, "General, no matter where the place is,

Government affairs, this waterwheel is just a toy for fun in our hands, but if it is given to the Prince of Nanjun, it can benefit the people of the area." His face suddenly straightened, "...Go and check, who was making noise outside just now." His eyes were rare.

A hint of chill.

Knowing that Princess Nanjun is a guest here, how dare you make a noise at the door!

When Princess Jang Nanjun met her, she thought her general's mansion was so unruly.

Qiu Ju walked out quickly.

After a while, Dong Ju was brought in, "...the old lady heard that Princess Nanjun was coming, and sent Hongsang to invite Princess Nanjun to come and talk. Seeing that you were busy, the servant sent you back." Dong Ju cautiously sent her back.

He looked at Zhen Shiniang's face. "...It's all the slave's own decision."

Zhen Shiniang's expression calmed down, "You did a good job. If this happens again in the future, just ask the little maid to drive them out and don't let them get close to the living room again."

Not overbearing.

The old lady's temper is getting more and more bad-tempered, and she is becoming more and more unreasonable. She is no longer suitable to receive these noble family members.

Otherwise, it is hard to say which day it will bring disaster to the General's Mansion.

She had no control over things in Wutong Town before. Now that she has taken charge of the General's Mansion, she will never allow things like Shen Zhongqing being tossed to death row to happen again.

But the old lady's face turned purple, "...She actually kicked you out?" She pounded the kang three times, "...How can this bitch still see me as a mother-in-law in her eyes?"

Ziyue and others were too scared to speak.

After yelling and scolding for a long time, the old lady wanted to take advantage of Shen Zhongqing's absence to bring people to Haoranju. Then she thought that if she dared to make a fuss, she would dare to wear imperial uniforms and pose as a princess and wait for her. It would be so embarrassing.

explain

, I was afraid that I would not be allowed to see my grandson in the future... But the anger in my heart could not be released. I simply picked up the crutch and hit Hongsang head and face, "You are a little bitch, you can't even do such a little thing.

good!"

After giving Hong Sang a good beating, the old lady finally calmed down.

Hong Sang, who was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, felt so wronged.

No wonder these people were obviously angry with Haoranju's little maid outside, and they still licked their smiles and said good things to Zhen Shiniang when they came back. If she had known that the old lady would only take out her anger on her own people, why did she add to her jealousy just now? Slander Zhen Shiniang.

You are really a bitch and you are looking for a beating!

Zhen Shiniang caressed a pair of gold and pure longevity locks and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Yu had told her about the connections between the important ministers in the court, but he did not mention that Grandma Zheng was the niece of the Princess of Nanjun... Was she unaware or was she negligent?

King Nanjun is in charge of half of the food reserves for the first week. Shen Zhongqing must prepare troops and horses, and he cannot do without the support of King Nanjun. If he is pulled over by his close relative, Grandma Zheng... this news must be told to Shen Zhongqing as soon as possible. !

After asking the maid to clean up the desk again, Zhen Shiniang continued to draw pictures while waiting for Shen Zhongqing.

In the evening, Rong Sheng came back from outside, "...the general was left in the palace by Long Live, so that the madam does not have to wait for him, and the young master can have a meal and rest first."

After spending the whole day thinking about Prince Nanjun's sudden visit to Beijing, Zhen Shiniang's heart tightened when she heard that, "You didn't say anything?"

Rong Sheng shook his head, "I don't know."

Zhen Shiniang frowned.

This feeling of ignorance is really bad. It seems that she needs to put some eyeliner in the palace.

After dismissing Rong Sheng, Zhen Shiniang picked up the pen again, but she couldn't calm down. She simply pushed the drawing aside, asked the maid to sharpen a thicker charcoal pen, and started sketching herself in front of the mirror.

Although Shen Zhongqing was well-fed and well-dressed, Shen Zhongqing wished she could lift her arms without getting tired, but she still felt that her body was getting worse and worse, and she didn't know how long she could hold on. She should make some paintings to save her. Jian Wu and Jian Wen have something to think about in the future.

With a background in science, Zhen Shiniang really doesn't know how to draw. Fortunately, she spent several months improving her sketching skills while studying human anatomy. After painting for a long time, she still looked like a skeleton, which made Zhen Shiniang burst into laughter.

I’m used to drawing skeletons, but I can’t draw living people anymore.

If you want to make a bunch of paintings, you should find a painter someday.

I didn't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, Shen Zhongqing hadn't returned all night.

Looking at the neatly folded quilts on the half of the bed, Zhen Shiniang felt inexplicably uneasy.

In Tai's Hospital, the hospital envoy Jiang Heng was looking at Dr. Li aggressively.

"I have long said that Darentang manufactures military anesthetics for Mrs. Shen and supplies them to Huichun Medical Center. Their relationship with Mrs. Shen must be extraordinary. You didn't listen. Now it's better. They raised the price with Mrs. Shen's support. !" He pointed at the purchasing plan for next year that the Pharmacy Bureau had just calculated, "One pill has increased by thirty cents, how much is four hundred thousand pills?" His eyes were a little red, "Twelve thousand taels, twelve thousand taels. !”

Due to the death of the Ministry of Household Subsidy Card, the Imperial Hospital has been so generous in the past year, and its benefits are so generous that even the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are envious. They have been clamoring to change their profession to become imperial doctors. They all rely on these pills to make money, and now they are buying It has grown longer, but the price must be the same as that of Huichun Medical Clinic, and the profit has been cut by 40%!

All the free money is gone.

It’s heart-wrenching for everyone to watch!

Jiang Heng's face turned purple.

Doctor Li's face was bruised from the pain. "We can still control them anyway, but I don't believe that Darentang dared to offend our hospital!" There was a fierce look in his eyes.

"...dare to offend?" Jiang Heng glared at him, "I hugged General Shen and Mrs. Shen's thigh, and behind me was the Queen Mother. What dare I offend?" He asked again aggressively. "To say the least, let's take a step back. Why have I offended you?" Pointing to the purchase plan on the table. "From the beginning of spring to now, the price of Darentang pills has doubled. What's wrong with the price increase now?" Darentang's exclusive production of pills has again The supply exceeds demand, and those small medical clinics can't even buy it. It's not up to him how much the hospital wants to increase the price. "You should take it out and talk to everyone now, and see who dares to say this. Darentang wrong!"

However, when they came to renew the contract for the first time, they didn’t say they were going to increase the price!

He proposed to supply it exclusively, but he raised the price the next day.

Obviously, Darentang is more friendly to Huichun Medical Center than Taitai Hospital, so the price increase must be due to Zhen Shiniang's temptation.

What an ignorant white-eyed wolf!

I don’t even think about who supported them in opening it!

Now he got close to Shen Zhongqing's thigh and kicked his benefactor away!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Doctor Li's lips trembled.

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Jiang Heng said, "Do you think we can do whatever we want just by controlling him?"

"We can control him!" Dr. Li said viciously.

Dare to openly offend him too hospital.

Darentang, just wait!

"Darentang abides by the law. Firstly, it doesn't owe taxes, and secondly, it doesn't break the law. How do you care?" Jiang Heng's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Did they defraud customers, or did they sell fake medicine and kill people?"

Doctor Li, who was left speechless by Jiang Heng and whose face turned gloomy, heard the words "selling fake medicine and eating people to death", his eyes flashed involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule.

Seeing that he was no longer arrogant, the imperial doctor's expression also softened, "After all, the sign of our imperial hospital is here, Darentang doesn't dare to offend him, so you immediately bring a heavy gift to Xiao Zhongtang and ask him to help make peace. , we asked for twice as much as last year, so we signed the contract at the original price!”

Doctor Li responded in a dull voice.

Looking at Jiang Heng's angry back, Doctor Li gritted his teeth.

You have Shen Zhongqing's support, right?

After traveling around the palace for so many years, he still has the support of the prince and princess!

Arrogant, right?

He, Li Jianshu, wanted to see who was more arrogant than the other!

She was used to being hugged to sleep by Shen Zhongqing who was like a stove every day. Shen Zhongqing didn't come back for two consecutive nights. Zhen Shiniang felt deserted and empty. She woke up early in the morning and stared at the empty half of the bed in confusion.

Qiu Ju knocked on the door and came in, "...Aunt Li is here."

"The Taiyuan Hospital thinks the price of our pills is too high..." Li Qi's wife took the cloth from the little maid's hand and personally helped Zhen Shiniang wash her hands. "Yesterday afternoon, someone gave me a letter of approval and the contract will not be renewed."

Not renewing?

Zhen Shiniang stopped washing her face, "He's quite smart!" She lowered her head and continued to splash the water, "If you don't sign, don't pay attention to him." She took the cloth and wiped her face.

"...Getting on the pole is not a business. My wife and Mr. Cui also mean the same thing. I just want to ask you for advice." Li Qi's wife changed the topic, "In the past, there was no money and insufficient turnover, and the pills produced were tight. We supply Tai Hospital and Huichun Medical Clinic. We do not do any business for small medical clinics. We will move Huichun Medical Clinic to Beijing to expand its operations for you. Darentang has just launched two more production lines. Now Tai Hospital does not want the goods and the inventory is overstocked. Come on, what Mr. Cui means is that the supply of pills is already in short supply, and it is not cost-effective to stop production. It is better to develop those small medical clinics. Although each one requires a small amount, it cannot support the large number of small medical clinics..." (To be continued.
