Su Luoqi made a pot of today's stewed water early in the morning and took the mule cart out.
Child Su Zimu, who was making a fuss yesterday because Su Luo went out alone, found out that Xiao Yu was not at home today and was as quiet as a chicken.
"Aren't you afraid that it won't be safe for me to go to Jinnan alone today?" Su Luo led the mule cart and teased Su Zimu on the way out.
Su Zimu raised his head and opened his bright eyes, "I prayed to the Supreme Master for you last night. You will succeed immediately. No, I will succeed like a mule."
The little bamboo next to him rolled his eyes silently: Nonsense, before you fell asleep last night, you kept saying that you wanted to find a master for us to learn kung fu. What, this means that we should go and learn from Taishang Laojun!
Su Luo rubbed Su Zimu's head and left with a smile.
When the mule cart passed by Xiao Yu's house, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the gate.
Xiao Yu didn't feel anything in the past, but when he left yesterday, Su Luo had a rare sleepless night.
During the half night of insomnia, half of the time she was thinking about Xiao Yu pushing her fingers on her arm while applying medicine that day. She was thinking that Xiao Yu seemed drunk but not drunk, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a slightly hoarse voice.
, and said to her: "Not as good-looking as you."
The other half was wondering, is there something urgent at Xiaoyu's house that makes him go back in such a hurry?
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but wonder, does Xiao Yu treat others like this?
He will also forcefully and gently apply medicine to others when they are injured?
Do you also tell others how beautiful you are when you are drunk but not drunk?
Do you also buy menstrual cloths for other girls? Tell her to drink brown sugar water?
In the dead of night, some emotions are particularly sensitive and cannot be touched easily. Once touched, they will be enveloped in sourness.
She doesn't deserve it.
From Chunxi Town to Jinnan County, no one spoke. Su Luo thought wildly all the way. When she arrived at Jinnan County, there was a huge crowd of people before she was separated from the nihilistic emotions and stepped into the world of fireworks.
While walking and asking around, Su Luo drove a mule cart to find the largest pork stall in Jinnan County.
The pork seller was a burly man with a butcher's knife in his hand. When Su Luo passed by, someone was buying a stick bone in front of the stall. He picked up the knife and smashed the stick bone a few times and weighed it.
Hand it out.
As soon as the buyer of stick bones left, the butcher looked at Su Luo and said, "Little brother, what do you want to buy?"
Su Luo parked the mule cart aside, stepped forward with a smile, glanced at the meat on his stall, and said, "Brother, I want to buy some meat from you."
The burly butcher suddenly frowned, with a confused expression on his face, "What are you buying?"
He had a very loud voice, and it was as if he was shouting when he spoke.
"Go into the water, pigs go into the water. Do you have some here? I want to buy some."
The butcher looked Su Luo up and down several times before saying, "How much do you want?"
"Brother, how many are there here?"
The butcher paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned towards the low table at the back, threw the meat cleaver in his hand on the meat table, looked at Su Luo, and said in a much lower voice, "Little brother,
Are you from Chunxi Town? Your family sells sewerage?"
Without waiting for Su Luo to nod.
The butcher sneered, "It's not that I won't sell it to you, but you have offended someone and someone won't let us sell it to you."
Su Luo didn't expect that the butcher would tell her so directly. She was startled for a moment and immediately whispered: "Thank you for telling me, brother."
The butcher waved his hand casually, "You can't thank me, I just can't bear to see people bullying others, but I'm just a butcher, and I can't afford to offend others, let alone disobey them.
If you have the ability, we can talk about it after you resolve this matter."
The implication is clear: If you don’t have the skills, you won’t be able to continue your business, and we can’t help you.
While they were talking, another person came to buy meat. The butcher glanced at Su Luo, raised his knife, and went to greet the customers.
Su Luo led the mule cart and left the butcher shop.
She doesn't need to go to other butcher stalls. They can take care of them all the way from Zhending County to Jinnan County, so it's impossible to only take care of this one.
But Su Luo doesn't understand it at all.
Why did the butchers in Zhending sell to her but refused to sign a contract with her, but when they arrived in Jinnan County, they simply stopped selling to her?
Does this mean that if she wants to get into the water, she can only buy it from Zhiding?
But why?
What is the difference between Zhending and Jinnan... Wait!
The Zhending County Magistrate seems to be Chen Heng's uncle, and the Jinnan County Magistrate seems to have been in conflict with Chen Heng because of the dock incident. Is the Jinnan County Magistrate a member of the Huainan King?
During the years when Su Luo stayed at Zhenninghou Mansion, he never thought about the affairs of the court.
Now in order to sell it, I have to use all my wisdom to analyze it.
Once you understand this key point, you can understand why the other party did not allow the butcher in Jinnan to sell it to her, but only the butcher in Zhending sold it to her.
Because Zhending’s butchers can be better controlled, if anything happens in the future, Zhending’s county magistrate can better intervene.
If Su Luo was not sure who was behind this secret mischief before, she was no longer uncertain now.
Quickly whipping up her horse, Su Luo returned directly to Chunxi Town. After delivering the boiled water to the six Zhending houses as previously agreed, Su Luo went straight to Kyoto without hesitation.
Since she can't solve the problem, she will solve the person who created the problem.
Fengying Building.
Private room on the third floor.
Gu Yao, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, pushed the door in. When she saw Su Luo inside, who was dressed in shabby clothes and dressed as a man, she immediately frowned in disgust and disgust.
She held a silk handkerchief in her slender hands, covering her mouth and nose as if she were blocking something.
"I thought Miss Su was some kind of innocent and righteous woman, but that's nothing more than that. Since she wants to have integrity, she even left Zhenninghou Mansion, why is she still coming back?"
Compared with Gu Yao's jewels and splendor, Su Luo looked extremely poor.
But there was a smile in her eyes and her back was straight, "Don't you know what I'm going to do when I come back? If you didn't know, how could you have rushed over as soon as I sent a message?
The majestic wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenninghou Mansion is about to get married. How come she is so eager to meet the daughter of a country medicine man?"
"You!" Gu Yao had never seen Su Luo speak so sharply before, and she only thought she looked disgusting. "You finally showed your fox tail. It turns out that in the Zhenning Marquis Mansion, in order to please the prince, you pretended to be virtuous and kind.
Wan Dadu, why don't you pretend now? You should have let the prince see your true face."
How could Su Luo dare to talk to her like this in the Zhenninghou Mansion before?
Not to mention blaming her, she didn't dare to say another harsh word, and Gu Yao was furious.
On her side, her wet nurse glared at Su Luo fiercely: "Miss Su, she shouldn't come back even if she wants to show off. Who is our lady, and who are you, to deserve to make such a fuss here?"
Su Luo sneered, "If you don't deserve it, why don't you come too?"
After saying that, Su Luo looked at Gu Yao, "Have your people wait outside if you want to get Chen Heng's secret."
