More tips for He's Bi. Thank you for your tips and pink tickets.

~~~~~~~~~

Qiu Ju didn't come back all day long on the eighth day of the lunar month.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhen Shiniang began to feel a little uneasy, and early in the morning she ordered Li Changhe and Sun Qingliang to go out to greet him.

Sun Qingliang looked strange.

The capital city is their world, what can happen to Youji Huaifeng?

Women are busy!

Besides, they were ordered to protect her. What does the life and death of a maid have to do with him? I was unwilling to do so, but in the end, I was suppressed by Zhen Shiniang's magnanimity and followed Li Changhe out unwillingly.

In the evening, Qiu Ju came back with her little face flushed from the cold.

"...I heard that you dried all those mountain products with your own hands. The old lady seems to be very happy." She sat on the kang and told Zhen Shiniang about the affairs of the Xiao Mansion with great interest. "When I saw the donkey-hide gelatin you gave me, I asked

"Slave, you're so good, why do you say you won't endure it if you don't want to endure it? She won't be able to buy it with her wasted money." She chuckled, "And she said she was planning to shamelessly ask you for it."

Zhen Shiniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Magpie was still worried that the things he sent were too shabby, and you were kicked out by Mrs. Xiao with a big stick."

"How could it be?" Qiu Ju giggled, "The old lady likes this slave very much, and even gave her a lot of clothes." She presented the clothes she brought back as a treasure to Zhen Shiniang.

They were all fine brocades, and there were more than a dozen sets, some of which were still undressed. When Zhen Shiniang saw them, she joked, "... Our Qiu Ju's future dowry is already there, now I can save money."

Already."

"I don't want to get married!" Qiu Ju's face turned red, "I want to serve the lady for the rest of my life!" There was a cute and innocent anger on her eyebrows. She looked really cute.

The magpie rolled her eyes at her and said, "...I won't send someone to report anything. If you dare to do this next time, I will marry you off tomorrow!"

Qiu Ju's little face suddenly twitched, "...Isn't this servant worried about the money it will cost to hire another carriage?"

It turned out that just as Zhen Shiniang expected, Xiao Yu thought she would go, so he left Qiu Ju waiting there.

Qiu Ju happily waited at Xiao Mansion for a day, but Zhen Shiniang did not go.

Afraid that her family would be worried. Qiu Ju had to leave early on the eighth day of the lunar month. It was Xiao Yu who read Zhen Shiniang's letter and thought of entrusting him with such a big deal. Zhen Shiniang was not in good health and could not bear the pain of bumps.

On the one hand, it shows her open-mindedness.

Everyone in the world is busy, all for profit.

There are many people in this world who give up their lives rather than their wealth. If you leave it to anyone, even if you are extremely ill, you will crawl out and complete the deal. But she just handed it over to herself with confidence.

Even the average man can't have such a broad mind!

Originally, he was just grateful to her for saving his mother and admired her superb medical skills. After seeing this heartfelt letter, Xiao Yu felt a faint feeling of sympathy for Zhen Shiniang. Thinking of her short life like a mirror in the mirror, he simply let Qiu Yu

Ju stayed for another day. He put down everything he was doing and went to Tai Hospital in person. After settling everything, he asked Qiu Ju to come back with his letter and the order from Tai Hospital.

"How much money can it cost to hire another carriage?" The magpie rolled her eyes at her.

In the past, they were poor and couldn't bear to spend even a penny, but now they are not rich. But hiring a small carriage to bring Li Changhai back only costs a few hundred pennies, and they can still afford it. It made them worry about it for two whole days, especially

Zhen Shiniang's health is not good yet, and Magpie gets angry just thinking about it.

"My slave..."

How can a slave have any money?

Qiu Ju retorted in a low voice. Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that she asked Ji Huaifeng to go out and stay at the inn. Her face turned purple and she said, "Miss...servant..." She stuttered and was speechless.

Zhen Shiniang thought she was scared, so she gave Magpie a look and said, "Qiu Ju is still young, and it's her first time to go out and she doesn't know the importance of it. If you say it once, she will remember it. Don't scare her."

Magpie sighed, "...I'm also worried about you. Miss didn't sleep well these past two nights."

"That's not it..." Qiu Ju shook her head, "I know Aunt Magpie is worried about me, but..." She burst into tears, "I have spent all my money!" I have never seen big money since I was a child.

It was the first time she spent such a large amount of money on her own, and Qiu Ju felt as if the sky had fallen.

"What?" Magpie choked on his own saliva and coughed violently.

How could she spend so much money with food and accommodation in Zhongtang Mansion? Although there was no shortage of food and clothing, they were not rich enough to spend so much money.

"Speak slowly..." Seeing Qiu Ju crying, Zhen Shiniang slapped her on the back, "That money is for your emergency pocket money. You just need to explain clearly where it was spent."

The voice was peaceful and there was no trace of blame.

Qiu Ju quickly settled down and told intermittently about letting Li Changhai and Ji Huaifeng go out to stay at the inn, "... Dongsheng Inn only costs a few hundred renminbi a night. Who knew that going to the capital was so expensive that it would cost three dollars a night?

Two, Uncle Li said they were almost deducted when paying the bill. Fortunately, Brother Ji still had money in his pocket. "Dongsheng is a small inn in Wutong Town.

She thought that even if the inn in the capital was more expensive, it would only cost a few hundred coins more, so she dared to make that decision that day. At that time, she had one tael of silver in her purse, ten taels in total, and the two of them still had to eat, so she was afraid that one day

The two taels were not enough, and the ten taels could not be separated, so she gave them all to Li Changhai.

Little did she know that it was Li Changhai's first time to go out and he didn't understand anything about this. As an imperial guard, how could Ji Huaifeng, who was used to fine clothes and fine food, listen to her and find a cheap inn to stay in?

He felt aggrieved because Li Changhai opposed him and would find a bigger one.

Zhen Shiniang and Magpie looked at each other.

They had been worrying about this matter for the past few days, not because they were afraid that Qiu Ju would be burdened. She asked as soon as she came back. Seeing that Qiu Ju had thought of it on her own, Zhen Shiniang was so shocked that she could not speak.

Qiu Ju can already take charge of her own business.

"Slave...Slave, I won't dare to do it next time..." The room was surprisingly quiet, and Qiu Ju's face turned pale.

After coming back to her senses, Zhen Shiniang smiled slightly.

"You did the right thing." She said her previous worries and said happily, "We Qiu Ju have grown up!"

"Slave, did you do the right thing?!" Qiu Ju grinned before she wiped away her tears, "Miss, don't you blame me?"

The magpie laughed and scolded, "You are finally smart for once."

Qiu Ju became embarrassed, "I didn't expect this at first. Brother Ji asked me questions again and again, which made me wary."

Zhen Shiniang was shocked and asked calmly, "...What did he ask?"

Qiu Ju learned Ji Huaifeng's question once, "...this slave is so frightened that her heart will jump out. She doesn't know how to answer, so she pretends to be dumb."

"It seems that Miss teaches you all the time..." Magpie was shocked to hear this.

Zhen Shiniang frowned.

When visiting a best friend, one should use her first name. Why would Ji Huaifeng question her not using her husband's last name? Or...

Her expression suddenly straightened up and she told Magpie, "Go find Changhe now and ask him to go to Ruixiang Pharmacy and ask Li Qi to help find a suitable compound for opening a pharmaceutical factory in Wutong Town or the surrounding area..."

Magpie was puzzled, "Didn't you already buy a house?"

"That house is too small." He stared at the magpie, "I originally planned to open a small pharmaceutical factory, but now Mr. Xiao has actually signed a contract for 200,000 pills. That house is not enough for the trouble..." he added. , "Opening a pharmaceutical factory requires not only convenient transportation, but also good water quality. Li Qi knows his business, so it would be best to let him help choose one."

More importantly, that house is too close to the ancestral home!

From what Qiu Ju said just now, Ji Huaifeng was definitely not questioning why she didn't use her husband's surname when visiting Zhongtang Mansion, but he knew her surname was Zhen and knew her details!

It is not difficult to understand that Ji Huaifeng's sect and Shen Zhongqing have a connection, but who knows how deep their connection is?

She dared to open a pharmaceutical factory under Shen Zhongqing's nose next to her ancestral home. She had calculated that he would not come often. But now, out of thin air, Ji Huaifeng, who has a deep connection with him, and there will be a bunch of maids and women in the future, who? Do you know when they will betray you?

This pharmaceutical factory is the foundation of Jian Wu and Jian Wen's future. There must be no negligence, lest he and Shen Zhongqing fall out one day and die without knowing how.

"...Where did we get the money?" Magpie was full of doubts.

"I'll think of a solution for this. You go quickly!" Zhen Shiniang pushed her, "While it's still dark, the road is easy to walk." The order from the Tai Hospital has been signed, and the pharmaceutical factory must be handled quickly. .

Seeing Zhen Shiniang's solemn words, the magpie shoes got off the ground.

"Did the slave say something wrong that made the young lady temporarily want to change the place to open a pharmaceutical factory?" Qiu Ju looked at Zhen Shiniang uneasily.

"You've done a great job." Qiu Ju was always a child and didn't want to talk too deeply to her. Zhen Shiniang smiled and changed the subject, "Mrs. Xiao asked me why I stopped making donkey-hide gelatin. What did you say? ?”

"My slave said that you were in poor health. You almost fell into the glue pot and fell asleep for two days and two nights..." Thinking of this, Qiu Ju's eyes were still a little red. "The old lady seemed to be bluffing after hearing this, until When my slave came back, she kept telling her not to boil donkey-hide gelatin for her again."

Zhen Shiniang couldn't laugh or cry.

This Qiu Ju is quite capable of stirring up emotions. Looking at her like this, she must have burst into tears when talking to the old lady.

This is great. A car full of worthless things, instigated by her, has become something she paid for with her life. It’s strange that Mr. Xiao is not moved. After hearing this, Zhen Shiniang felt like she was a super It was a big lie. He exchanged a cart of gravel for a cart of jewels and didn't say anything about it. He even made the other party burst into tears of gratitude.

Her face turned slightly warm.

Then she thought about it, that's fine. She was worried about how to explain it to Xiao Yu, so she could just let him think that it was because of this that she made Doctor Jian's name disappear.

Just as she was about to tell Qiu Ju not to say that again when she went out, she heard Qiu Ju say, "The old lady also asked you how you got the disease. The slave girl said that you had postpartum hemorrhage, and you are lucky to have survived."

This stupid kid finally handed over her old background.

Zhen Shiniang sighed, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat, "...Does Mrs. Xiao know about Brother Wen and Brother Wu?"

Faintly, Zhen Shiniang felt uneasy in her heart. After all, Xiao Yu and Shen Zhongqing are irreversible friends. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support.
