Chapter 1155 461 Rules

Back at Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue sent Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan back to Yunli Courtyard, then went to the study in the outer courtyard and called Zhu Xing.

Nangong Yue told him exactly what happened in the horse market today, but Zhu Xing was afraid after hearing it for a while, thinking: If it weren't for the coincidence of the prince and concubine, wouldn't the batch of bad horses be sent to Huiling City? !

When the prince was out on an expedition, he had naturally explained the military affairs. They paid close attention to the dispatch of provisions, arrows, and troops, but they did not expect that there would be a mistake in the procurement of troops this time.

"Prince Prince." Zhu Xing clasped his fists and said sternly, "My subordinates will go to the military camp immediately, and I will never let something like this happen again."

On the surface, Zhu Xing was wearing the name of a housekeeper, but he was actually a member of the army. It was not appropriate for Nangong Yue's daughter to come forward, and it would be best to leave it to him.

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, "There is housekeeper Lao Zhu."

After Zhu Xing saluted and retired, Nangong Yue sat quietly for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Xiao Yi, instructing Baihui to hand it over to the affairs office and send it to Huiling City. Not long after, Baihui came back, and brought back a letter from Mrs. Fang Si.

So, Nangong Yue took the letter and went to Tingyu Pavilion.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Fang frowned slightly and said, "Fourth brother Feng Han, I can't come here for the time being."

The fourth grandfather Fang is the patriarch of the Fang family. Not long ago, the old grandfather Fang wrote to him to tell him about the third house, and wanted him to come to Luoyue City for a proper family style.

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows lightly. Is it a coincidence that Mr. Fang Si was sick at this time, or did he deliberately avoid going to the third room of the Fang family? After all, Mrs. Fang of the third house is still the wife of King Zhennan, maybe she doesn't want to annoy King Zhennan...

Grandpa Fang thought so too. He had been in a coma for more than ten years, and now he can't help but feel that the Fang family is no longer the original Fang family.

"Grandfather." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, if the fourth old man is really cold, it's fine, otherwise, in a few days, he will come to Luoyue City to apologize to you..."

Grandpa Fang looked at her with some doubts. Nangong Yue's bright smile made the unhappiness accumulated in his heart vanish.

His current life was picked up. With his grandson and grandson-in-law's daughter-in-law being so filial, what else could he ask for? The centuries-old foundation and honor and disgrace of the Fang family are not his alone...

Grandpa Fang smiled slightly, and his mood became much clearer.

Nangong Yue pushed Mrs. Fang around the yard, chatting and laughing with him for a while before returning to her room.

Hearing that such a wonderful thing happened in the horse market today, several maids who didn't go together sighed with regret.

After Nangong Yue took a bath and changed her clothes, while listening to An Niang's report back to Bixiaotang today, she helped her dry her hair with a thrush.

Not long after, Queer came hurriedly, with a strange excitement on his face.

After she bowed her knees and saluted, she hurriedly complained, with a smile on her face: "Prince Concubine, the lord Shen Shi returned to the mansion in three minutes, and immediately went to the main courtyard... I heard that the lord did not dismiss the servants in the house, so he He yelled at his wife, scolded his wife's relatives for losing his face, and scolded her for being short-sighted. She knew how to help relatives every day, and even questioned whether her wife had benefited from it! The wife swears and swears that she I didn’t know about this at all, and I wanted to excuse Niu Xinglong, but the prince got even more angry, and asked his wife to copy the Diamond Sutra when she had nothing to do, so she could calm down and raise her qi…”

Nangong Yue looked at Que'er beside him through the bronze mirror, and asked with a smile, "Have you asked about the industry?"

"I asked." Que'er felt that her eldest concubine was very clever, and said hastily, "The madam refused to admit it, and later she threw herself on the pillow and cried and made a scene, saying that the prince had wronged her. The prince may have been tired of crying. Flip your sleeves and leave."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, Xiao Fang wanted to use one cry and two troubles in exchange for King Zhennan's sympathy and love... This may have been useful in the past, but now, King Zhennan has doubts and love in his heart When you gradually retreat, if you use this trick again, I am afraid it will not have such a good effect.

Doubt is born, and it will gradually ferment until it is irreversible.

Don't be in a hurry now, it's the best time to settle all this when the account application room has "sorted out" the accounts properly.

Queer continued: "...As soon as the lord left, the madam kept throwing things there..." After a pause, she said meaningfully: "Looks like, Mammy Qi will come to see the prince concubine tomorrow. It's gone!"

Thrush and a few little maids looked at each other, and they all covered their mouths and laughed, Thrush deliberately complimented Queer and said, "In the future, the slaves will call Sister Queer a goddess!"

Isn't that so? Everything has been smashed, so the house can't be left empty, right? !

Queer puffed out her chest proudly.

Just as she said, Nangong Yue had just returned from the Youning Hall on the second day, and Mama Qi came as expected.

"I have seen Concubine Shizi." Qi Momo politely saluted Xiang Nangongyue several times, but there was a hint of arrogance in her description, "Concubine Shizi, the things in Madam's room have not been changed for a while, Madam. Tired of watching, I want to change some items, so the servants came over to get the right cards and open the warehouse."

As soon as Mama Qi said, Queer and Thrush in the room exchanged glances secretly, and couldn't help laughing.

Que'er blinked, meaning, from today onwards, you can call me "Shen Shuzi" instead!

Nangong Yue also felt a little funny in her heart, and politely said to Qi Momo: "I don't know what mother wants, but I also asked Momo to make a list and go to the warehouse to collect it."

Make a list?

Madam Qi's face was not very good-looking. In the past, she always took people to the warehouse to pick up items for Xiao Fang, and then let the warehouse record the booklet after picking them up. But just when she went to the warehouse to get something, the newly appointed Liu mama insisted that the warehouse could be opened only if the concubine Shizi gave the right card, and she refused to put the key at any rate, but in desperation, she would come to Bixiaotang. , I didn't expect that Concubine Shizi would let her make a list? !

How can there be such a daughter-in-law in the world, and the prince concubine simply did not take the wife as a mother-in-law in her eyes!

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. The lady had made the prince unhappy several times, and now her status was in jeopardy, but the prince and concubine gradually gained a firm foothold in the palace, and even held the middle of the palace. Deliberately embarrassing yourself!

Madam Qi's face was gloomy, her tone was a bit arrogant, and she said forcefully: "Prince Prince, Madam always takes things from the storeroom first, and then records it in the storeroom!"

Nangong Yue glanced at Madam Qi lightly, picked up the tea cup on the side, and slowly removed the tea foam on the surface of the tea soup with the tea lid, without saying a word.

But the kind of indifference she radiated invisibly made Mama Qi feel extremely aggrieved. Since Mama Qi followed Xiao Fang to the Zhennan Palace, because she was Xiao Fang's nurse, Xiao Fang was the most powerful in front of her. The first person in the palace, who disrespects her in the whole palace, she has been used to it for more than ten years, even if the concubine Wei was in power before, she would not dare to neglect her, only the concubine...

A haze flashed in Qi Momo's eyes, but she could only endure it.

At this time, Que'er said: "Mother Qi, the madam has the rules of the madam, and the concubine has the rules of the concubine. entrusted."

Queer said with a serious face, while Qi Momo's face was blue and white, and she thought, "This is because the prince is pressing me!" ... This is really a shrimp play in the shoal of the dragon, and now a little girl dares to speak to herself like that!

Que'er naturally saw that Qi Mama was unhappy, but pretended not to know, and said, "Or Qi Mama forgot what Madam wanted? Why don't you go back and ask Madam?"

Madam Qi knew that if she went back empty-handed like this, she would definitely be angered by Madam and it would be bad for her! Madam has been confined in the main courtyard recently, and even if she wants to lose her temper, she can only throw it at the servants in the courtyard. Recently, the servants in the main courtyard are not living with their tails between their tails.

Madam Qi took a deep breath and said sternly, "Miss Lao Que'er has been bothered, Madam's order, Lao Shen will naturally remember."

Thrush said "kindly": "Mother Qi is here for the first time, and I don't know the rules of the imperial concubine. Today, the slaves help the maid to write it down." She said, grinding ink and paving paper with a smile.

Madam Qi could only go down the steps like this, and swallowed her voice: "Concubine Hui Shi, Madam needs a set of blue-and-white porcelain tableware, a pair of celadon-glazed plum bottles, a picture of Guanyin twisting flowers, a ruby ​​plum and longevity changchun bonsai... …”

Thrush quickly recorded them one by one for her, then dried the ink and let her press her handprint, and then presented the list to Nangong Yue.

After Nangong Yue looked at it, she asked Thrushi to get a pair of cards with the C character, and handed it back to Qi Momo along with the list.

Mother Qi took the pair of cards and the list, blessed her body casually as a thank you, and then walked away with her head held high.

After Mama Qi walked away, Thrush sighed with some distress: "It seems that Madam dropped a lot of things last night..." Otherwise, why would you need to use so many things!

Queer said with a smile: "It's the prince's thing anyway, the prince doesn't feel sorry for him, why should we feel sorry for the prince!"

Nangong Yue glanced at Que'er with a smile, but it wasn't right. Anyway, it's the stuff of King Zhennan, Xiao Fang will smash it if he likes it!

Thinking of this, Thrush also smiled.

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, and then said, "Que'er, you will go to the warehouse later to make statistics. In the past few months, how much has been taken from the warehouse in the main courtyard, and how much has it been returned?" Xiao Fang did not say Change the furnishings? Since it is "change", it must be in and out.

"Yes, Concubine Shizi." Que'er smiled knowingly immediately, answered crisply, and went to work. I smashed so many things, I am afraid there is no entry!

After half an hour, Que'er came back with a list, with a smile on her face, which seemed to be quite rewarding.

After bowing to Nangong Yue, while presenting the list, she replied amusingly: "Prince Prince, Madam has received fifteen sets, tea cups, and twelve large and small vases this year alone, most of which are made of porcelain. There is no return, or the original set of tableware is either missing a bowl or a plate, and finally can only be left in the warehouse to collect dust. In addition, ten pieces of calligraphy and painting were received, six returned, and other The screens, bamboo curtains of Concubine Xiang, tortoiseshell incense burners, cool mats, jade pen washes, etc., are basically returned once they are used..."

Obviously, those things that can be dropped and torn have the highest damage rate.

Que'er couldn't help laughing, Madam is so prosperous, and it is fortunate that Zhennan Wang's family is rich enough for her to toss!

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at the list at will, she already knew what she was doing.

At this moment, Baihui opened the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang and entered the house, and then bowed her knees.

Nangong Yue casually put down the list in her hand and looked at Baihui.

"Prince Concubine Zhu, Butler Zhu just called the slaves and told the results of the investigation of the pharmacy of Nali's family." Baihui replied in an orderly manner, "Butler Zhu has inquired about it, this Boss Li is a bit wealthy and often buys medicinal materials from medicinal farmers. Deliberately lowering the price, the medicines sold are also a bit more expensive than other companies, but they have never sold counterfeit medicines or shoddy medicines. In addition, Master Hu in his shop is really good at pharmaceuticals, so the business of the pharmacy has always been good. Zhu The housekeeper also specifically inquired about Master Hu, saying that Master Hu got a single copy of pharmacy from Boss Li, so Master Hu has to work for Boss Li's shop for three generations..." Speaking of this, Baihui There was also a sigh on his face, that Master Hu was really a drug idiot. For a book, he not only sold himself, but also his children and grandchildren.

After a pause, Baihui continued, "Butler Zhu also said that although Boss Li is greedy for petty profits, he occasionally does 'good deeds'..."

"A good deed?" Que'er's brows twitched. When Concubine Shizi met Boss Nali for the first time in a small market outside the city, she was also there. I really can't imagine that Boss Li, who was almost maliciously lowering the price, would also do so. do good things?

Baihui's expression was a little strange: "The housekeeper Zhu and the servants talked about a few things, saying that there was an old woman who was poor and needed two copper coins to buy medicine, but her grandson was seriously ill and knelt at his pharmacy. At the door, I begged Boss Li to ask if I could owe some money first... Later, Boss Li asked the old woman to work as a rough maid for two days in his pharmacy." How can I put it, two copper coins are a bit too much to call someone for two days. , but at least it solved the other party's urgent needs, and it was a life saver. "The old woman is very grateful to him, and she still sweeps the floor and wipes the table for him from time to time."

All in all, although this boss is a greedy businessman, he still has some bottom lines.

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, not afraid of the merchants' greed for profit, but only afraid of disregarding their conscience for the sake of profit. This kind of profit is still acceptable to the boss, depending on how the medicine is made.

Anyway, it's time to get the medicine today, so let's go there yourself. Nangong Yue thought about it, and then ordered Thrush to ask Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei if they wanted to go together.

Thrush hadn't gone out yet, but the two of them came together, Fu Yunyan said with a smile, "Ayue, you are going to get the medicine today, we are going too! You guys can go shopping with me again, I want to buy some gifts. Go back to the capital as a gift." She said, calculating in her heart, A Xin, mother, father, brothers and sisters, sister Xi, cousin Yi... There are quite a lot of gifts to buy.

Yes, Liu Niang and Yong Yang's grandmother will be going back soon... Nangong Yue suppressed the sadness in her heart and replied with a smile: "Liu Niang, wherever you want to go, sister Fei and I will accompany you. where to!"

Not long after, the two green hooded carriages left the gate of the East Street of the palace and headed south of the city first.

Along the way, Fu Yunyan picked up the curtain from time to time to look out. When he saw interesting shops, he stopped the carriage to buy some in the east and some in the west...

When their carriage arrived at the Lijia Pharmacy, she was half-loaded with the other blue-covered carriage that had been empty.

The three of Nangong Yue got off the carriage, and the man immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and his attitude was even more attentive than before.

Nangong Yue had long guessed that the shrewdness of Boss Inari would definitely guess her identity, so it was not surprising that the guy led her into the inner hall.

"Shi... Madam," Boss Li greeted him warmly, rubbing his hands together, squinting his eyes to please, "please, please, the medicine is ready. In fact, Madam, you don't need to come in person, so send someone to leave and say, Grass... I can deliver it to you personally!"

While talking, Master Hu came with a pear-flower wood box. He didn't say much, but opened the box in front of them, and saw ten blue-and-white porcelain vases neatly placed inside.

Baihui took out one of the porcelain bottles and presented it to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue opened the porcelain bottle, first smelled it, then poured out a few pills, looked at the color, showed satisfaction on his face, smiled and said to Master Hu, "Master Hu, you specialize in art, you have this medicine. Well done."

Master Hu knew that Nangong Yue was a doctor and was overjoyed, as if he had received a great compliment.

After hesitating for a moment, he still clasped his fists and asked, "Concubine Shi, your recipe for anti-summer medicine is really wonderful, and I don't know who created it? Can you let Caomin also use this recipe to make medicine?"

On the side, Boss Li's face stiffened for a moment, and he thought: Although this master Hu from his own family is good at craftsmanship, he is really unsophisticated. The noble concubine of the family went on tour in a low-clothing dress, and naturally wanted to conceal his identity, so Master Hu had to reveal his identity! ...and this matter of asking for a prescription, although he heard Master Hu mention it once before, but after he wanted to understand the identity of the prince, he gave up the idea long ago. I didn't expect that Master Hu would dare to talk to the prince. Fei Ti!

Boss Li looked at Nangong Yue nervously. Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said, "It's just a recipe, and it's something that benefits the people. Master Hu, you can use it."

"Thank you, Concubine Shizi." Master Hu thanked him with sincerity and fear.

Boss Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he just said, there are a lot of concubine Shizi, so she will definitely not care about a villain like him!

After Nangong Yue checked them one by one, she asked Baihui to put away a few porcelain jars, then looked at Boss Li, and said, "Boss Li, it's still this summer medicine, how many days will it take you to make 10,000 pills for me? "

"Ten days is enough."

Nangong Yue pondered, "Then I will ask someone to pick up five thousand pills in five days?"

Boss Li hurriedly responded: "Of course!"

The two quickly settled on the details of the next batch of anti-heat medicines. Baihui settled the balance of the previous order and re-paid the deposit for this order.

Afterwards, a few people boarded the blue-covered carriage at the compliment of Boss Li.

The wheel of the car slowly rolled, and Fu Yunyan said cheerfully: "Ayue, Afei, what shall we buy next? I haven't bought Pu'er yet! By the way, I remember that the Dendrobium and ham in southern Xinjiang are also very good. Right?" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her honey-colored face was full of energy.

Xiao Fei was also infected, and suggested: "Liu Niang, let's go to Xiangnan Street next? There are many shops there, food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

Fu Yunyan nodded naturally.

During the conversation, the carriage turned around and headed towards the southeast of the city... The surroundings became more and more lively, people were gasping for breath, and there was a constant noise in the streets.

At Fu Yunyan's suggestion, the three simply got out of the carriage and walked along the street. Cloth, silver jewelry, tea, ham, all kinds of dry goods... If it wasn't for some things that were inconvenient to store, they almost thought that Fu Yunyan was going to move half of Luo Yue City back to the capital.

The second carriage was filled up in a short while, but Fu Yunyan was still not satisfied, and ordered the owner of a shop to send a box of woven carpets to the Zhennan Palace. When the boss heard that it was the palace, he quickly agreed, nodding and bowing and sending them out of the shop.

Seeing that the sun was starting to go down outside, Fu Yunyan was about to propose to go back, but saw that Xiao Fei's eyes were a little wrong. Following her gaze, she realized that there was a quiet bookstore next door.

"A Fei, how about we go to the bookstore?" Fu Yunyan was very considerate, she smiled and took Xiao Fei's arm with one hand and Nangong Yue with the other, and strode towards the next door.

"Liu Niang..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Fei's attention was attracted by the movement in the bookstore.
