Bai Liran saw the drug store on the street, looked away from the car window, and clasped her fists at Mo Shaohua to express her gratitude.
"I'm here. Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking me along. Please ask the driver to stop. I want to get out of the car and buy medicine for my mother."
Looking at her white little hands held together, Mo Shaohua's eyebrows twitched.
Who taught her how to salute? It's like a quack, but the key is that it's neither fish nor fowl.
When she was in the palace, she performed the ceremony gracefully, but when she left the palace, she couldn't do it anymore?
Mo Shaohua glanced at her and said nothing.
Bai Liran didn't care whether he said anything or not, she stood up directly, pushed open the door of the carriage, and jumped out from the other side of the coachman.
If she didn't leave, she would have to walk back to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
She was tired today and really didn't want to walk anymore.
Seeing Bai Ranran jump out of the car, Mo Shaohua frowned slightly, and then shook his head helplessly.
He raised his hand, clasped the carriage lightly with his knuckles, and said to the outside, "Yueying, continue to follow."
"yes."
I don't know where the sound came from. A man in green shirt walking with his head lowered quietly followed Bai Qianran on the street.
Mo Shaohua held the book in his hand, but he didn't even look at it. He put his slender, jade-like hands on his legs, tapping them lightly with his fingertips, nonchalantly and slowly.
What is the relationship between Bai Liran and Duke Dingguo?
Before, he only thought that Bai Linran was an abandoned baby adopted by Bai Xiucai, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
The carriage turned into a large alley and stopped in front of the gate of Qinghuanfang by the river in the city full of stilts and tiles.
Qinghuanfang is not a brothel, it should be regarded as an entertainment place. It is a place where dignitaries, young masters and young ladies from Kyoto can have fun. There are singing, dancing, music, and drinking fights on weekdays.
Of course, as long as the girl is willing, people looking for pleasure can also invite her or redeem her body and take her away.
Mo Shaohua's favorite place to visit is Qinghuanfang in the south of the city, not for any other reason than because it is his secret place.
Naturally, others don't know, only a few close friends know.
Others only think that he is looking for pleasure, and some even say that half of the girls here are from Mo Shaohua.
There are not many good rumors about him outside. They all say that he has a good face in vain. He is indeed a ruthless and carefree man.
Mo Shaohua was famous for being a romantic man, but he only played with girls and never ransomed them, let alone brought anyone into his house.
The coachman stopped the car, quickly put down the horse stool, opened the car door, and waited respectfully for Mo Shaohua to get off.
He got out of the car gracefully and calmly, and a young woman dressed in cool but not vulgar clothes came out and said, "Your Highness, you are here. Prince Jiang has been waiting for you for a long time."
Mo Shaohua lowered his eyebrows and glanced at her, twirling the folding fan in a circle on his fingertips, holding it in his palm with a chuckle, "Let Ruixin go over and wait."
He just stepped into the threshold, paused, and then took it back, "Forget it, tell him that I have something else to do, and let him wait a little longer."
He turned around, returned to the street where he had just been, and entered the teahouse opposite the drug store where Bai Lunran went.
Bai Liran was waiting for the shopkeeper to give her some medicine.
She looked at the proportion of herbal medicines carefully, and then tried to ask, "Shopkeeper, do you have thousand-year-old ginseng?"
She didn't know if there was one, but she always asked if there was one.
Just like, you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.
The shopkeeper was startled by her question and suddenly laughed again, "Young lady, you are just kidding. This medicine shop of ours is not worth a thousand-year-old ginseng tree."
Bai Ranran nodded seriously and agreed with the boss's words.
Forget it, there's no need to worry, just don't use golden fingers.
The shopkeeper grabbed the medicine, tied it with a fine hemp rope, and handed it to her with a smile, "Girl, take the medicine, it's just a penny."
When Bai Linran was in Prince Ning's Mansion, Mo Shaohua did not deduct her monthly payment.
The two thousand taels of silver notes didn't move, so she actually had some savings.
He took out a small piece of broken silver from his wallet and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper picked it up and put it in the
g (three times)) I weighed her and found a smaller piece of broken silver for her.
Bai Lanran was bored and asked, "Sir, do you have the store's inventory?"
Money will always run out. If she wants to live a better life, she must find a way to make some money to provide for Jiang and herself in old age.
Although the family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, they still need to change the accounting office and buy a few maids and servants to take care of the house. Everywhere they earn money.
The shopkeeper was amused when he saw that the girl was always asking weird questions, but he still said patiently: "The shop is rented, and excluding the rent, the pharmacy shop can barely make enough to live on. I will just keep this shop and earn a living."
Why is the girl asking about pension money?"
Bai Lanran looked at the drug store and smiled at the shopkeeper, "If you have nothing to do, just ask. Thank you, shopkeeper."
She stuffed the money into her purse, took the medicine bag, said goodbye to the boss and left.
Mo Shaohua was sitting at the window seat on the second floor of the teahouse opposite. When he saw her coming out, he unfolded his folding fan to cover his face and looked at her leaving with his charming phoenix eyes.
The round-faced Xingchen glanced at the wooden stake-like sundial, which looked back at him, still expressionless.
Xingchen shook his head and sighed secretly: "There is something wrong with the prince. When did he become so interested in a woman?"
Although he has a reputation as a romantic, everyone around him knows that it is just a misleading appearance. His prince has never been lewd by women.
The young ladies from the Duke's mansion who grew up together were all very polite.
Mo Shaohua raised his hand and raised his fingers twice at Xingchen.
Xingchen bent down and came over, Mo Shaohua said quietly: "Go and find out what she just said to the shopkeeper?"
Stardust: "..."
"yes!"
He stood up and looked at the sundial. The sundial was as stable as Mount Tai, invisible or audible.
…
Bai Liran took the medicine and went home, where Jiang was sleeping.
While taking Jiang's pulse, she asked Taozi about Jiang's situation after she left.
Taozi said: "After the lady left, my wife asked me about the situation for a while, and then she kept asking me to go out and take a look. I coaxed her to go out twice, and when she came back the second time, she fell asleep.
"
At that time, Taozi was still worried that Jiang was gone, so she would check her breathing after a while to make sure she was still alive.
Bai Liran handed her the medicine, told her how to cook it, and asked her to cook it.
Take the medicine slowly to detoxify, take it once in the morning and evening every day, and you need to take it for seven days in a row to detoxify.
Bai Ranran came back from Prince Ning's Mansion at noon. She started to mess around when she got back. The sun had already set in the west.
She tucked Jiang's quilt in, went out and walked around the house, and got a rough idea of the structure here.
The front yard is full of flowers and plants, as well as a pavilion and a small lotus pond. No one has taken care of the lotus pond, so it has become a bare pond.
In the middle courtyard, the main room is occupied by the Jiang family. Aunt Zhang's things are kept in the west wing, and Aunt Zhang's son's things are kept in the east wing.
These two women don't regard themselves as outsiders, they are full of things.
Bai Ranran went to the backyard and called Yang Zhuang, who was sweeping the yard, and asked him to pack up and throw away everything in Aunt Zhang and her son's room.
Yang Zhuang worked very efficiently and quickly packed up all the bed rolls for the two of them and threw them into the stable in the backyard.
At this moment, Tao Zi also fried the medicine and brought it over.
Bai Linran took the tray and asked her and Yang Zhuang to clean up and cook. They had things to do later.
Aunt Zhang's son Zheng Yunzhuo hasn't come back yet, so we have to wait until he comes back to take care of things.
A hundred acres of fertile land is leased to tenant farmers, and the rent collected in four years should be quite a lot.
Although she hasn't seen the account books yet, she feels that there is definitely something wrong with Zheng Yunzhuo.
Collect the account books first when he comes back.
No matter whether he has any problems or not, he has to collect the accounts and take care of them himself.
Bai Liran entered the room with the medicine, put the medicine on the table, went to the candlestick to find the fire fold and lit the candle.
The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating the originally dark room.
Bai Liran went over to wake up the sleeping Jiang, helped her sit up, put up an embroidered pillow for her behind her, and went back to bring the medicine.
"Is everything going well? Aunt Zhang..."
The candlelight was dim, and Bai Lanran could not clearly see the expression on Jiang's face, but she could hear that she was a little sad.
Thinking about it, I can understand her feelings. She has been a neighbor for many years and someone she trusts so much, how can she not be sad if she wants to die.
Bai Ranran was sitting beside the bed holding the medicine, blocking the candlelight, and Jiang's expression became even more difficult to discern.
"I'm sentenced to serve as a sewing machine in the Shaofu for eight years."
Bai Ranran's tone was calm, her face was hidden in the darkness, and Jiang couldn't see the coldness in her eyes.
She originally wanted Aunt Zhang to die, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she let her live for now. This chapter has been completed!
