On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Feng Shao squinted his eyes and listened to the old woman's words. The death of Aunt Wu by the bamboo forest and Mu Baodi's words "the gods are taking your life" quickly flashed through his mind.

He said a few more words and saw a carriage coming from a distance.

The carriage looked plain on the surface, but Feng Shao could tell at a glance that it was made of top-quality ebony, which was strong and resistant to bumps and collisions.

But it’s also really expensive.

This is not something that ordinary people can afford.

He didn't stare at it. He lowered his head to take a bite of wonton, as if he wasn't paying any attention to this side at all. But in fact, he was keeping an eye on it out of the corner of his eye.

To his surprise, a monk came out of the carriage.

He was wearing a gray monk's robe and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

Judging from his appearance alone, he is just an ordinary monk, not even as elegantly dressed as the abbot.

But just by looking at the car he was riding in, Feng Xiao knew that he was no ordinary person.

He listened carefully. Fortunately, it was quiet and there was no one else around.

The monk's voice was quite loud, and it floated down the wind, so the bee whistle could be heard clearly.

Then the monk asked, "Excuse me, is this the Mu Mansion? Did Madam Mu just pass away?"

"That's right," the servant replied. "What do you want?"

The monk put his hands together and said, "I am a monk from Shenyuan Temple, and I am here to pray for Madam's soul to be reborn."

Bee Whistle choked when he heard this.

The servant was also puzzled: "Are you here to pray for salvation as well?"

"What? Has anyone else been here?" the monk asked.

"Just now...Okay, just follow me."

The servant did not ask any more questions. After all, they were all here to pray for the souls of the deceased. He was just a monk and would not cause any trouble. It would not be a bad thing to pray for more souls of the deceased.

The monk followed him in.

Feng Shao thought it over again and again, paid the bill, stood up and walked quickly to find the side door of the Mu Mansion.

There has been a funeral in the mansion these two days, and all the carts transporting things and servants going in and out for shopping have to go through here, so this place will be open during the day and closed late at night.

Feng Shao took off his cloak, found a place to hide it, tucked in the corners of his robe, and tidied himself up. After making sure that there was no one inside or outside, he went in through the side door.

When passing by a small cart with vegetables and buckets on it, he picked up a cabbage in one hand and picked up the bucket in the other, then lowered his head and walked forward. Even if he occasionally met servants, no one would suspect him.

He walked around to the mourning hall in front, but did not enter the courtyard. Instead, he stood at the moon-lit gate and looked over there quietly.

The monk had arrived in front of the mourning hall and just came out from the back, seeming to have looked at the coffin.

The bee whistle is a bit strange. Do we need to look at the deceased to perform the salvation?

There was no one else in the mourning hall. Mu Baodi was the only master in the mansion for the time being, and she didn't care about the mourning hall at all. Nanny Wu had just died, so there was no one to make arrangements here.

The monk looked around and Feng Shao immediately retracted his body. He vaguely felt that this monk did not seem to be here to perform a ritual of salvation.

After waiting for a while, I looked again and saw a monk sitting on a cushion, chanting sutras.

The distance is too far and I can’t hear clearly what you are saying.

Feng Shao thought about it and decided that staying here would not solve anything, so he might as well go back to deliver the letter and find Brother Tuotuo to make arrangements.

The monk came here in a carriage, and he was lazily walking. Even if he went after him, he would lose him once he left the city.

Thinking of this, Feng Shao turned and left.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt something under my feet. I lifted my leg and saw that it was a jade pendant covered by a few leaves.

The jade material is good, mutton-fat white jade, and the carved patterns are also very exquisite, with a word "Ding" in the middle.

Feng Shao couldn't understand it, so he put it in his arms and walked away quickly.

……

At this time, the last pearl headdress was being auctioned in the jewelry pavilion.

When Shopkeeper Zhou first said that they were pearls, the ladies were actually a little disappointed, as they always felt that pearls were not as gorgeous as gems.

But when the red cloth was lifted and they saw dozens of thumb-sized pearls, all equally round and plump, they couldn't take their eyes off.

At the same time, I also understand why it is the last piece of jewelry.

Pearls are lustrous and indeed not as gorgeous as gemstones, but pearls of this size and color are rare to find, let alone just one at a time.

The bright light is like moonlight, as bright as the full moon in the sky. The other lights are like starlight, which is dazzling but pales in comparison to the moonlight.

Everyone exclaimed, their eyes red with excitement.

Shopkeeper Zhou was very satisfied with their reactions.

When he first saw these pearls, he was also shocked.

I have been in the jewelry business for many years and have seen countless pearls, but pearls of this quality are generally only available to royal families. They are also available outside, but the prices are extremely high.

What he didn't know was that Yan Ruyu's pearls really came from the royal family.

She found it in the manor warehouse outside the Wing King City.

A whole box.

Shopkeeper Zhou called out the bottom price: "Six thousand taels!"

There was another round of exclamations, one because of the high price, and the other because they felt it was really worth it.

The eldest lady raised the sign again: "Six thousand six!"

Once a stone stirs up a ripple, someone will immediately follow suit.

In the blink of an eye, it reached eight thousand taels.

The eldest lady looked at the Cheng mother and daughter again.

The Cheng family mother and daughter have already bought two pairs of earrings, a necklace, two hairpins, and a step-shaking ornament.

A rough calculation shows that the cost has exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Add this, it will be over 20,000.

But this one is so beautiful and so tempting that they find it hard to give up.

Now I only regret that I shouldn’t have acted too early. If I had known, I wouldn’t have bought those earrings and stuff.

But regret is useless, take photos without regrets.

Just when they were suffering, they saw the eldest lady looking at them. Mrs. Cheng and her daughter felt that the eldest lady's eyes were like magic. As soon as she looked at them, they couldn't help but want to spend money.

"Mother, how much money do we have left?" Cheng Fengyao asked in a low voice.

Madam Cheng gritted her teeth and said, "It's long gone. I prepared three thousand taels to buy jewelry this time, and it took me a long time to talk to your father before he gave it to me."

"The money I just spent was the money he asked me to pay to the cloth shop to purchase goods."

Cheng Fengyao was stunned for a moment, looking at those pearls, which fascinated her.

"It has to be like this, so let's do it in one go. I'll buy this set of headgear. I'll find a good husband, and he will be the most important person in our house."

"With the help of a noble person, why worry about not being able to earn this little money?"

Mrs. Cheng hesitated a little: "There are still more than 10,000 yuan. If I spend it all, then..."

"If father asks, it's the will of the gods. My marriage is the most important thing. Isn't that right, mother?"

Mrs. Cheng looked at her earnest eyes and wavered, "Okay."

Just then, the eldest lady raised her sign again: "Ten thousand taels!"

Mrs. Cheng panicked and raised her sign to bid: "Eleven thousand taels!"

"twelve thousand!"

Mrs. Cheng hesitated, as she only had 14,000 yuan left.

Just as he was hesitating, Miss Cheng grabbed the sign and held it up: "Fourteen thousand!"

The eldest lady wanted to raise her hand, but Yan Ruyu held her down and shook her head gently.

This is probably the trump card of the Cheng family mother and daughter. If they call it again, they will be in trouble.

Fourteen thousand taels is not something that anyone can easily take out, so no one wanted to buy it.

It eventually fell into the hands of the Cheng family's mother and daughter.

People around looked at him with envy.

After paying for the goods and receiving them, Cheng Fengyao was extremely proud and her tail was raised to the sky.

She turned her head and saw Yan Ruyu, walking towards her with a faint smile.
