Although Liu Ruhai knew that the beauty trick didn't work for her, he was still polite and would often come to her small room to discuss opening a shop with her.
She said yes, but in reality she didn't move a hair.
"Your Majesty, I have always had this wish." He said implicitly.
She cursed secretly that this guy dared to threaten her.
When she thought about it, it was best to return to the Hou's Mansion as early as possible. Since she had to serve her, there was always a place for her to live in the mansion. What about paying attention to him? He couldn't enter the Hou's Mansion.
She packed her luggage and returned to the capital on her donkey, carrying a receipt, two hundred taels of notes and seventeen cents of money to sweep the land.
She was still frowning. Firstly, she was afraid that the Marquis would find out about her scandal and drive her out of the Marquis's mansion. Before she could save enough money to leave, she still wanted to retire in the Marquis's mansion.
Secondly, she earned 10,000 taels, but Master Huiming paid 9,800 taels in one go, saying it was a deposit for medicinal materials for the next three years. These were only four types of medicine produced in the temple's medicine garden.
According to the nun, she needs many rare medicinal materials to treat her illness.
Moreover, when brewing these medicinal materials, the secret prescriptions obtained by Yuangong Semu people from the outside world were used. Therefore, these ten thousand taels of silver did not deceive her at all.
The remaining two hundred taels were money she gave to the teachers and wives to pay for refreshments so that they would not fall asleep when they were too tired from making medicine in the middle of the night and cut corners.
——This medicine fee is a bottomless pit. Although she knew this, she still felt heavy in her heart.
She was thinking on the donkey's back. If her colleagues in Jinyi Yamen were practicing the Netherworld Ninth Transformation like they were more than ten years ago, she might be able to open a martial arts gym to make a living.
--pity.
Those good days have passed.
Nowadays no one is willing to practice.
When the city gate was about to check the way, Mao Ergou, a 17- or 18-year-old Jinyi fanzi from the Wucheng Army and Horses Department, was her companion. He gave her a wink and she understood.
The drug pickers and counter clerks she is looking for to open a drug store have already been selected.
"Is that your companion?" Liu Ruhai asked without seeing anyone else.
She looked at him with disdain. This scholar Liu actually came back to the city with her one day, and he was working with the same donkey and horse shop that she hired. He was riding a big flowered donkey, and she was riding in tandem with her female green donkey.
.
On the way back to the city, he would talk to her in a familiar manner from time to time. She just pretended not to hear him, urged the donkey and entered the city gate.
I spent a full five hundred taels just to buy him a chat with him in the temple to relieve his boredom.
Now, pretend you don’t know me.
"Drug shop..."
"It's just a joke, sir, don't take it seriously."
Liu Ruhai raised his eyebrows, now he is heartless? He must have found a candidate. But it is not easy to find a doctor.
In his opinion, the more this young lady excelled in martial arts in the past, the more troublesome her illness becomes now. From now on, she will have to hire skilled doctors all year round to make medicine, spend money, and replenish her body. She no longer needs to spend a
We can't stop it with seventy or eighty thousand taels.
Moreover, she is the only daughter in her family.
She also had to think about her parents' old age support. Fortunately, she didn't think about adopting a younger brother. Among her uncles, Li Shishan found out that two of them had secretly received money from other informants.
Her parents, Cao Cao and Wu Auntie, were weak and confused in character. He lived next to each other and had already figured it out.
As for her indifference, was it just because he was not telling the truth about his life experience? She was afraid that the money she spent to open a drug store would be wasted?
"Although the words are false, the heart is true. Could it be that Miss Qing can't tell Xiaosheng's sincerity? If you change your mind, Xiaosheng is always waiting for you."
"..." Her teeth were sore.
Now she has figured it out. She can be tricked into gossiping about the marquis and his wife, and she can also sell some detailed information. But she cannot be deceived out of her money.
She is poor.
She wanted to save a coffin book for herself and treat her illness.
She also had to save a sum of money to give to her parents to take care of them in their old age. This was not a small amount of money. She also had to guard against being deceived by her uncles.
When Liu Ruhai saw her pretending not to recognize him, he didn't find it funny. If he deliberately came up to talk to her again and made her angry, he thought again, if the Qingluo female ghost in the past had to use the sword.
Did she show mercy to him?
Or has she really become a useless person?
The autumn mood is getting stronger. When you enter the city from Qingliangmen, you will see crimson wild camellias in the alleys and green walls. The clusters are extremely beautiful.
The streets are bustling.
The luan bells are ringing, and two donkeys, one behind the other, are walking along the street with their black hooves trampling the autumn leaves.
Looking at the back of her riding a donkey, with her skirt gently flowing in the wind, he noticed that she was a little weird.
But I can't figure it out.
Maybe it's just that she has a weird temperament after being ill.
He silently urged the donkey, and he and she returned to Kangnan Street and turned into the West Alley.
As soon as she entered the alley, she saw the figure of a neat young man on the back of a donkey. He turned out to be a young eunuch in green, about twelve or thirteen years old. He had a fair face and was standing in front of Zhou's house.
She knew at a glance that Liu Ruhai was here at her old stall's house.
Ask him for a follow-up visit.
The young eunuch Bai Fu'er didn't recognize her, so she just pretended not to know her, got off the donkey, took out the key and opened the lock of her house.
The copper key hit the keyhole and shattered into pieces.
The pale golden sunlight shone slantly between her white fingers. She listened with her ears erect, and Baifuler came up to help Liu Ruhai lead the donkey. She must be familiar with him. Sure enough, this guy named Liu entered the capital through his old stall.
He also asked the guarantors of Xu Guogong's Mansion and the Marquis Mansion.
At this early hour in the morning, there was no one in the Cao family.
She opened the door and went in. There were patches of red inside and outside the courtyard door. She raised her eyes and squinted at the sun. There were even red bits and pieces of festive firecrackers on the jujube trees.
The word "happy" was posted from the entrance to the bottom of the alley.
Not long ago, the Marquis got married, and the house was probably extremely busy. Next, the house slaves will have to take turns to take a break.
Her father and mother were both working as errands in the Marquis's mansion, and they both liked to show off their face. They would be fooled by someone saying a few nice things, so how could they have the time to go home?
"Mr. Liu, our husband asked Mr. Liu to come over for a consultation. Our wife has taken two pills and she has really gotten better in the past half month." The young eunuch Bai Fu'er behind him smiled with her.
"It's easy. I'll leave my luggage and go. Young father-in-law, please come in and wait for tea." Liu Ruhai responded politely.
"I don't dare. I'll just sit and wait." Bai Fu'er quickly followed in.
She tied the donkey under her jujube tree and thought, Eunuch Wang's house is in front of Shunyi Square. There is a river flowing through the square, which is a famous area in the capital, and it is close to the palace. Wang Lao Tao raised his feet and walked
Now that I have entered the palace, I cannot miss my duty.
Who is sick?
By the way, I heard that one of his relatives came to the capital to seek refuge. He adopted a nephew from his family as his son, and even took great trouble to help his son marry a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family.
It must be that the new lady is sick. She thought about it carefully and ignored it at all. There was a ghostly figure standing in the corner of the yard.
Before Liu Ruhai entered the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at her yard with long eyebrows and deep frown.
The jujube trees are particularly green and peaceful.
