"... Concubine Shen misses Madam, and Long Live has issued an order to invite Madam to the palace during the Lantern Festival to accompany Concubine Shen to watch the fireworks." Rong Sheng pointed to the etiquette nun beside him and introduced, "The general is afraid that Madam will forget the palace etiquette, so please invite me. Aunt Zhao is here to give advice to Madam."

Entering the palace to enjoy the fireworks?

Zhen Shiniang was startled and looked back at Magpie: "Are she and Concubine Shen that familiar?" She even asked her to go enjoy the fireworks.

Magpie shook his head silently. When her young lady was in Zhuangyuan Mansion, Concubine Shen was only five or six years old. She seemed frightened when she saw her. How could she miss her?

Is this an excuse?

Banzai must want to invite her.

Seeing the magpie shaking its head, Zhen Shiniang's heart was churning: She couldn't hit eight poles, so why did Long Live suddenly invite her to watch the fireworks?

"Madam, hello..." Nanny Zhao looked Zhen Shiniang up and down, with a condescending look in her eyes.

Magpie's expression changed slightly and he turned to look at Zhen Shiniang.

Zhen Shiniang didn't even move her brows, and bowed slightly towards Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao has worked hard all the way. It's late today, let's start studying tomorrow." She turned around and told Dong Ju, "Take Aunt Zhao to the west ear room to settle down. .”

She was surprised by Zhen Shiniang's humility. Aunt Zhao was stunned for a while, holding back all the harsh words she had been brewing. When she saw Dong Ju coming to her, she walked away angrily.

Zhen Shiniang turned around and asked Rong Sheng, "...Rong Sheng, does he know why Concubine Shen invited me to the palace?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Rong Sheng shook his head, "The edict was issued suddenly. Long live the lady also gave her a silver fox-skin crane cloak to wear during the Lantern Festival to watch the fireworks."

She is just a humble daughter of a sinner. If you want to kill her, just a hint from Banzai is enough. You don’t need to go to all the trouble to frame her in the palace and then kill her. Being able to reward her with clothes means that Banzai’s announcement is enough. She entered the palace with no ill intentions.

After hearing this, Zhen Shiniang felt a lot more at ease. Suddenly she remembered that day when she heard about Concubine Shen's miscarriage, and her heart skipped a beat. "Is it related to this?" She raised her head and asked, "...How is your health lately? ?”

"My queen had a miscarriage not long ago due to a bad diet and is currently recuperating..."

Bad diet?

The imperial cook is not a common cook. How dare you give the imperial concubine spoiled food to eat?

Especially the one who is pregnant with Longzi.

Zhen Shiniang didn't believe this, "...what did you eat? Long live you didn't let the imperial doctor check it?"

"The imperial family investigated and found out that the imperial chef didn't know that the empress had given Concubine Shen a bowl of crab roe soup and made persimmon crystal cake for dinner. The imperial doctor said that crabs and persimmons are incompatible and eating them would cause stomach upset. Concubine Shen... ..." Zhen Shiniang was going to enter the palace according to the order, and she knew a lot about these things. Shen Zhongqing hinted before she came, and Rong Sheng said in detail, "The palace maids and the imperial chef who served Concubine Shen's food all committed suicide out of fear of crime. .”

Could it be that the crab roe soup rewarded by the Empress did not come from the imperial kitchen?

What a good reason!

You can fool ghosts.

Zhen Shiniang frowned slightly.

Because the person involved committed suicide and could not be traced, Wan Live accepted the clan's conclusion. This shows that Wan Live did not want to delve into the matter. However, after all, the prince was gone, and Concubine Shen's biological brother was Shen Zhongqing who had made great achievements. What reasons can prevent Banzai from delving into this matter?

Is the other party too powerful and Banzai can't move it?

Or... Banzai was afraid that Shen Zhongqing's great achievements would shock the Lord, so he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress him... Zhen Shiniang vetoed this idea as soon as it occurred to him. Since Banzai had the ambition to unify Yanqi, he would not suppress Shen Zhong at this time. Qing, even if the birds are gone and the bows are hidden, it will only happen after he unifies Yan and Qi.

But then why not pursue it?

If the other party's power is so great that Long Live would not dare to tamper with it... But Shen Zhongqing is not a puppet... Unless Shen Zhongqing also cares about the other party's power. If that is the case, then he now needs a strong political marriage even more urgently. .

But why did he choose to keep her?

Is it because of this imperial edict?

Banzai wanted to use him but didn't want him to be too powerful, so she used her to prevent his marriage, so she issued such an unreasonable imperial edict!

A faint feeling of disappointment flashed away in her heart, and Zhen Shiniang sneered in her heart, "It seems that I, an abandoned wife, am not useless." When she looked up and saw everyone looking at her, she smiled and ordered, "...let me Feng Lan, please prepare the meal."

After dinner, Rongsheng rushed back to the capital overnight.

With Aunt Zhao here, Zhen Shiniang could no longer go to the capital. After discussing with Magpie, everything was ready, so she simply asked Ji Huaifeng to protect Qiu Ju and deliver it. Zhen Shiniang thought about it and wrote two more A medicinal recipe was handed to Qiu Ju, "...just say that I originally planned to go to the old lady to pay New Year greetings in person, but my health has been bad since the New Year. I hope the old lady can forgive me."

Not to mention that she was a high-ranking Lord of the Central Hall, but just to talk about her humble status as a private tourist doctor, she could not just let a little maid go to pay New Year's greetings on her behalf, but it would be even worse if she didn't go. She bet that Xiao Yu was a broad-minded person and knew that she If you're not in good health, you won't care about these things.

Magpie was worried and arranged for Li Changhai to follow him.

As soon as Qiu Ju left, Comprador Gu came in the afternoon and went directly to Ruixiang Drug Store. Li Qi's wife happily came to see Zhen Shiniang.

Hearing that Qiu Ju had just brought someone to the capital, he actually passed her by. Comprador Gu laughed dumbly and said that Zhen Shiniang was too polite, "... My family knows that you are not in good health, so I am afraid that you will cause trouble. That’s why he sent me hastily.”

Zhen Shiniang smiled and said, "I should have gone in person. I hope Mr. Xiao can forgive me for being disrespectful." She changed the topic and asked, "How is your health, Madam?"

"It's all healed!" Gu Pengcheng became even more respectful to Zhen Shiniang when he mentioned the old lady, "She's in high spirits. I muttered to you that you don't want to go see her. It's because the main hall said that you're not in good health, that's all." He pointed outside. Half a carriage of precious medicinal materials, "Look, the old lady asked me to bring them here. I hope that you will recover soon and visit her soon." The old lady collected a lot of precious medicinal materials while she was ill. She knew that Zhen Shiniang My health is not good, and I feel a sense of anger.

Zhen Shiniang broke into sweat when she thought of the half-carriage of goods she asked Qiu Ju to send.

It is also half a carriage of goods, but one snow lotus can catch up with his entire carriage. If the door is not right and the household is not right, there is no courtesy.

He smiled at Gu Pengcheng and said, "Comprador Gu, thank the old lady for me. When the weather gets warmer in a few days, I will definitely go and say hello to her."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Gu Pengcheng changed the topic, "... Doctor Jian's pills are selling very well in the Taiyuan Hospital. The hospital envoy intends to cooperate with you for a long time, so he proposed to meet you. Lord Zhongtang asked me to come. May I ask when you have time to talk to the general in person?"

During the Chinese New Year, Jian Wu turned the stickers with the character "福" upside down, and the blessings really came rolling in!

Can't stop it!

Just when she was thinking about how to ask, after hearing this, Zhen Shiniang's face turned slightly red with excitement. It took her a long time before she could restrain her excitement and said, "My bones really can't stand the torment, so I won't see you. Sir, please ask Xiao." Your Excellency has the full authority to make the decision for me." With Xiao Yu coming forward, I believe that Your Excellency will not dare to blackmail her.

She didn't show up for such a big deal!

Gu Pengcheng looked at Zhen Shiniang in shock.

As a comprador, he has been dealing with businessmen all year round, and he knows best that between buying and selling, one more link and one more hand will lead to many more tricks. The adults in his family are also worried about these, so in order to avoid suspicion, they let her personally negotiate with the general.

Talk to adults.

She actually pushed it out!

Is this woman stupid or stupid?

Seeing the almost wise calmness in Zhen Shiniang's eyes, Song Pengcheng was inspired:

She is extremely smart!

If Xiao Yu is a greedy Xiaoxiao by entrusting the business to someone she has only met once, she will undoubtedly give him a huge operating space. Xiao Yu only needs to slightly raise the price to Taiyuan Hospital, and then put pressure on her.

With just one press, you can take away 70% of her profit alive in a flip of your hand. No matter who looks at her, she is a big fool.

However, Xiao Yu is an upright person. He may use deceitful methods to deal with political opponents, but he will never exploit a weak woman, especially if this woman has a great debt to his Xiao family. If she does this, not only will she not be exploited,

He will also get Xiao Yu's wholehearted trust, and with the support of Master Zhongtang behind him, even the young people on the street will not dare to take a look.

She was so impressed by the character of the noble man in his family that she worked for him in disguise. She was really extremely smart!

After this calculation, Gu Pengcheng looked at Zhen Shiniang with an added layer of admiration, "That's it, I will go back to the central hall."

Zhen Shiniang did not negotiate, but she did not take into account the twists and turns in the comprador's mind. She considered her special status as the general's wife, and it was best not to deal directly with people from the Taiyuan Hospital, but she currently does not have a very capable assistant.

, after all, rather than letting Qiu Ju or Li Changhe come forward, it would be better to leave full power to Xiao Yu.

Seeing that Gu Pengcheng agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief and discussed some details of cooperation with Tai Hospital. Then Zhen Shiniang got up and escorted Gu Pengcheng out.

Li Qi and his wife had been waiting in the side hall for a long time. When they saw them coming out, Li Qi took Gu Pengcheng to the front room to have a drink, leaving his wife to accompany Zhen Shiniang.

"...This half a cart of medicinal materials alone can't be bought without a thousand and eight hundred taels of silver." Li Qi's wife owns a medicine shop and knows the prices of medicinal materials very well. She looked at Zhen Shiniang enviously, "Who is the master of Comprador Gu?

What do you do? Are you an official?" When Zhen Shiniang was silent, she said mysteriously, "A businessman?" He sighed, "If I were a businessman and knew the identity of your general's wife, I still don't know how to flatter you?" There was a look in his eyes.

With a hint of confusion.

Zhen Shiniang sighed secretly.

Xiao Yu and Shen Zhongqing are close friends. If he knew that she was Shen Zhongqing's wife, he wouldn't know how to suppress her!

No matter how curious Li Qi's wife is, she can't tell her these things.

Zhen Shiniang pretended not to see Li Qi's wife's expectant eyes and casually changed the subject, "...Does Brother Li have any clues about the young man's affairs?"

Li Qi's wife slapped her face, "If you didn't ask, I almost forgot. There are ten in total. I will send them to you to choose tomorrow." Zhen Shiniang only had six servants, so Li Qi specially picked a few more to make it easier for her.

She has room for selection, "I heard from you, Brother Li, that two of them even worked as apprentices with medicinal material dealers..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
