Chapter 33 Medicinal Materials Business
The Yun Mansion at night was exceptionally quiet. Through the thin clouds, the moonlight shone in the courtyard, even without lighting, it was extraordinarily bright.
Yunqing came back in the dark, and saw the lights in the house were on as soon as he entered the yard. Before entering the room, I saw Qu's mother reading softly with a book, while Yuxi leaned on the bed and listened quietly.
When Mother Qu heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately put down the book in her hand and gave a blessing to Yun Qing, and then went down very consciously.
Yun Qing looked at the thick "Great Zhou Geological Map", frowned and said, "Why don't you sleep so late?"
Yuxi shook her head and said with a smile, "I can't fall asleep at that point." A habit formed in the past ten years cannot be broken overnight.
Taking advantage of Yunqing's time to take a bath, Yuxi got up from the bed after getting dressed, and then went to the small kitchen to have a look.
After Yunqing came out of the clean room, he saw a plate of steaming steamed buns and two dishes on the table, one was beef, the other was vegetables, and there was beef bone mushroom soup.
Seeing so many delicious foods, Yunqing laughed: "Before getting married, my second uncle said that I would definitely gain weight after marrying you. Eating like this, it's hard not to gain weight!" Even with his training intensity, I also lost three pounds.
Yuxi looked at Yunqing and said, "Where is the fat? I feel thin!" Yunqing has a good physique, and his body is full of tendons.
Yun Qing didn't argue with Yu Xi about this trivial matter, took a bun with a smile, and said, "If you say you're not fat, then you're not fat!" Control your weight, don't keep getting fat.
Yuxi also ate a bowl of beef bone and mushroom soup.
After eating, Yuxi went to rinse her mouth again before going to bed. As soon as she got into bed, she was hugged by Yun Qing. Yuxi was not used to it at first, but now, she is used to it. Before going to bed, the husband and wife would talk, which was strongly requested by Yuxi: "Husband, in a few days it will be the day when Zisu gets married. You should also give Guo Xun a few days off!" Yuxi said Well, the wedding date of that day shouldn't be set at the beginning of October at all, it should be set at the twelfth lunar month, and then there is no need to rush.
Yun Qing naturally agreed to this: "Give him three days off. Speaking of which, Xu Wu is left alone now." Xu Wu and Guo Xun have followed them for so many years, and he treats them all Treated like brothers.
Knowing Yunqing's subtext, Yuxi smiled and said, "Did you ask Xu Wu what he wants? That way I can find out for him!"
Yun Qing said: "I asked Xu Wu, and he didn't have any other requirements, as long as he knows how to hurt others after a while."
After hearing this, Yuxi felt a little strange, what does it mean to know that it hurts? If my husband doesn't hurt, who else can I hurt? But seeing Yun Qing's tired face, she didn't continue to ask. You can inquire about this kind of thing by yourself, without asking Yunqing.
Yun Qing kissed Yu Xi's forehead, and said: "Sleep!" Yun Qing came back very late every day, and had to leave before dawn. But thinking about Yuxi's early pregnancy, he insisted on coming back every day and night during this period.
Early the next morning, Yuxi called Zisu over and asked, "Are the wedding dress and brocade quilt ready?" Called two little maids to help.
Zisu nodded and said: "It's all ready." Zisu was actually a little depressed, too hasty. But the wedding date has been fixed, and it is not appropriate to change it.
Yuxi gave Zisu a few gold ornaments as a dowry, and said: "This place is no different from the capital, and the wedding may be a little cruder, so don't worry about it. As long as the husband and wife are of one mind, it is better than anything else." Maybe he doesn't know, so these words are also comforting Zisu.
Zisu nodded and said, "Ma'am, don't worry, I will live a good life with him." Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, no matter how depressed you are, you will live a good life
talking,
Then I heard my mother-in-law come in and spread the word that Zhao Ernian is here. Yu Xi stood up with a smile and said, "Please come in quickly."
Zhao Ernǎinǎi entered the room, looked at Yu Xi, and said: "I heard that you are pregnant, why can't you tell it at all!"
Yuxi was not surprised that people outside knew that she was pregnant, Yunqing came back happily that day, and went out happily, his subordinates must have noticed it. Furthermore, Yucheng is so big, how can we hide it. Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm only a month pregnant, how can I tell?" In addition, she was wearing loose dresses at home, which made her waist less visible.
Zhao Ernǎinǎi sat down and said: "Speaking of which, my sister is really lucky! It's only been three months since we got married, and I'm pregnant." Back then, she didn't get pregnant until three years after getting married, and she didn't know what to worry about. That's it. Fortunately, a daughter was born at the end of last year. There are few girls in the Zhao family, and girls are rare, so Mrs. Zhao didn't show any embarrassment to her.
Yuxi said with a smile on her face: "It's also luck."
Zhao Ernǎinǎi hurriedly said: "What kind of luck is it? It's a blessing. You don't know. After the news of your pregnancy spread, many people envy you!" Boy, you are guaranteed to make people envious and jealous.
After hearing Zhao Ernǎinǎi's words, Yuxi said with a smile: "Whether male or female, they are all my flesh and blood, and I like them both." It is her child, and she loves it. But considering Yunqing's situation, Yuxi felt that it would be best if she was a son. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a daughter, anyway, it will be born in the future.
Zhao Ernǎinǎi responded to this, "That's true."
This time Zhao Ernǎinǎi came to look for Yuxi because of something: "Sister, do you still want to buy Zhuangzi? If so, there happens to be a very good Zhuangzi."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "No need, the current Zhuangzi is enough for us to eat daily." The output on the Zhuangzi is first provided to Yuxi, and the rest are given to the people below.
Zhao Ernǎinǎi was not discouraged, and continued: "Sister and brother, I wonder if you want to do other business? This business is actually guaranteed to make money."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Sister, tell me, what kind of business is it?"
The only businesses that are guaranteed to make money are medicinal materials and food. Zhao Ernǎinǎi said: "I have a cousin who is in the business of medicinal materials. I wonder if my sister is interested?"
In fact, Yu Xi roughly guessed what kind of business she was doing after Zhao Ernǎinǎi said that she was guaranteed to make money. In the Northwest, it can be said that it is guaranteed to make money, and it must be grain, grass and medicinal materials. Now she has a clear understanding of the situation in the Northwest. Although the imperial court has distributed food and grass, it is far from enough, and if it is bad, it needs to be purchased. The purchase of food and grass fell on the Xu family's head, while the purchase of another big medicinal material fell on the Zhao family. Originally, they lived in peace, but because the Xu family relied on their daughter to marry Qin Zhao, they also wanted to get involved in the medicine business. The two had had a long-standing grievance, and now they have interests involved, and they continue to quarrel in private.
Yuxi said with a smile: "This medicinal material business is not a small business, please allow me to think about it for two days." The so-called consideration is actually to ask Yunqing for his opinion.
Seeing that Yuxi didn't agree immediately, Zhao Ernǎinǎi was a little disappointed. When she saw that Yuxi had just married and was planning to open a shop and buy a farm, she thought she was keen on doing business to make money. So she felt that she would definitely agree to tell Yu Xi about doing medicinal material business this time, but she didn't expect to be so cautious. Disappointed in his heart, but not showing it on his face, he said, "Well, then I will wait for the good news from my sister."
After talking about serious things, the two began to gossip. Of course, whether it is gossip or not depends on how the parties understand it. For example, Zhao Ernǎinǎi talked about Qin Yue this time: "I heard from my mother-in-law that General Qin is going to marry Qin Yue to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the day is set on the sixth day of October. I heard that it is Liangdi's position, really Great luck." Counting the days, the day of the side concubine and crown prince has passed, so I can change her name.
The Zhao family was very disturbed when they got the news. Qin Yue is Qin Zhao's younger sister and Xu's niece. If Qin Yue can be favored by the crown prince, the Xu family will have a strong backer in the future.
Yu Xi didn't show much surprise, but just said with a smile: "I'm really blessed. Not only is His Royal Highness half as heavenly and human, but the princess is also very kind." No matter how kind a person is, it is impossible to tolerate other people's challenges own status. If Qin Yue can keep his own place, that's all. If he does something out of the ordinary, whether he can stay in the East Palace safely is still unknown. As for whether Qin Yue can fight too hard, people who are not in the same rank don't need to judge at all.
A light flashed in Zhao Ernǎinǎi's eyes, and she asked with a smile, "Have you seen His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess?" Even though the Zhao family is one of the largest families in Gansu Province, they are nothing in the capital. up. The biggest official of the Zhao family in the capital is only the fifth grade, and the family members have no chance to contact the crown princess alone. All they know is from the outside.
Yuxi smiled and nodded: "The prince met once, but the prince's aura was so strong that he didn't dare to look up at the time. The princess has met several times, and speaking of it, I played chess with the princess once before! "
Zhao Ernǎinǎi asked very interestedly: "Then who loses and who wins?" According to rumors, the princess's chess skills are extraordinary, and few people can remember it.
Yuxi smiled and said: "The Crown Princess deliberately let me go, so it was a draw in the end. Speaking of it, it's just the face that the Crown Princess specially gave me."
Zhao Ernǎinǎi did not believe that the Crown Princess would deliberately save face for Yuxi and make a tie. The age of the Crown Princess is several years behind Yuxi, so even if Yuxi loses, there is no shame in it: "I didn't expect my sister's chess skills So extraordinary."
Yu Xi said very modestly: "Where, Mr. taught me well."
After talking for a long time, Zhao Ernǎinǎi went back. Before leaving, Zhao Ernanǎinǎi lowered her voice and said to Yuxi: "Sister, be a big sister and talk too much. You are pregnant now, so you have to be careful of those vixens outside." This is short of directly saying that there is a woman seducing your husband , you have to be careful not to be succeeded by the other party.
Yu Xi's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Thank you sister for reminding me, I will be careful."
Qu's mother frowned and said, "This is Zhao Ernǎinǎi's true, she only said half a sentence, and she didn't make it clear." It's better to speak clearly than to let my wife think wildly.
Yuxi didn't think about it, she believed that Yunqing didn't do anything behind her back. Of course, even if she really got involved with women outside behind her back, she could only blame herself for not knowing people well. However, believe it or not, this matter still needs to be clarified. Immediately let Zijin and Yu Zhi go outside to inquire about the news. Thinking of Zijin's violent temper, he warned: "Don't make any noise, just come back and tell me when you hear the news." Yu Zhi has a strong learning ability, and this In just over five months, he can speak fluent Yucheng dialect. I have to say, he is a talent!
Zijin responded, and called Yu Zhi to leave in a hurry.
