A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

This is a hairpin carved from rosewood with a flower base.

The style is simple, not from the hands of craftsmen who are proficient in this art, but it is simple, natural and somewhat clever.

The most rare thing is that each petal is inlaid with a pure amethyst, which looks particularly bright under the light.

"It's the first time I've learned to do it. It's a bit easy. Do you like it?" Zhou Qiong asked.

Yunling smiled as bright as a flower, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much. Where did you find this kind of amethyst?"

Amethyst is not common in Dongrui Country.

There are several jewelry shops under the name of Zhenxihou Mansion. After researching for a while, she learned about the origin of many jade jewelry. Amethyst is generally in the hands of foreigners, and the purchasing channels are unstable. Most of them can only be obtained by luck. of.

"In exchange for the small tribe in the west."

"The area in the Western Region is mostly grassland. There are many crystal mines like this. They use them to make jewelry or exchange them for food with the Xijue Imperial Court."

When Yunling heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Then we also trade food with them?"

Zhou Qiong stretched out her hand and tapped her nose, "If you want it, I'll exchange it for some more. After all, most of the military rations were sent by you, a rich man. If you want to exchange a large amount of grain for this kind of crystal, it probably won't work. The military ration reserves of the Western Army have never been enough."

Most of the current military rations are purchased and shipped from other states.

The land in Qingzhou is barren and nothing can be grown. The people themselves are living a tight life. How can they still sell more food to him in exchange for these stones.

If you buy in large quantities from the neighboring state, it will not only increase the price of food in the surrounding areas, but also cause unnecessary trouble.

Yunling certainly understands this truth.

She reached out and clicked on the map of Dongrui on the desk, "Look, the connection between several states near Qingzhou is indeed surrounded by mountains, which is not conducive to transportation. It is difficult to send food in, but what if it is here... .”

Her fingertips fell on Ningzhou and Dianzhou in the southeast. "If we find a relatively flat road between these two states, as long as it eventually leads to the seaside, our ship can pass by, let alone food." Now, even the material sales in several states can be easily won. By then, what will you have to worry about about transporting grain and grass?"

Zhou Qiong looked at her, "So, since you decided to build a ship and start shipping, you have all these plans in place?"

"That's natural. Isn't it often said that you should take one step to see three steps? Naturally, I wanted to prepare a few more steps. Half a year ago, I asked a team formed by veterans to set off, just to take three steps. The state finds the most appropriate path.”

She held her head high, a little proud.

"Yes, it's so awesome, I admire you."

Seeing Zhou Qiong's unhesitating praise and the tenderness in his eyes, she felt a little embarrassed, "The road is all about walking. If you keep going forward little by little, you will eventually find a way."

"Besides..."

Yunling stood on tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "I originally wanted to prepare more chips, whether you want to support your cousin or your cousin to rise to power in the future, or for self-protection, or for... ...The dragon enters the sea and is free, and the sea is your retreat."

Warm breath fell on her earlobes, like intoxicating wine, Zhou Qiong put his arms around her waist.

Before he could make the next move, a series of coughs could be heard outside the window.

"Ahem, it's late at night. The old man said he wanted to remind the young lady to go back and rest early."

Zhou Qiong stopped moving and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Guan Yi outside.

Who is his master?

Yunling chuckled, pushed Zhou Qiong's arms away, held the wooden hairpin and left.

Zhou Qiong didn't stop her. When she walked to the window, she leaned against the window and pretended to be sophisticated and said: "The night is getting dark. Go to bed early. As for the mechanism on this hairpin that Lao Qi taught me to make, you can study it tomorrow." .If you can’t find out through research...will you come look for me again?”

After talking about it, the young man raised his eyebrows at her, wondering if he had any bad intentions.

Yunling: "..."

"It's just a small organization. When Lao Qi and I were learning about organization, you might still be looking for a way in the mountains!"

Zhou Qiong watched her leave with a smile.

After a long while, no one could be seen anymore. He finally sat down and said in a low voice: "Thank you, I am lucky to meet you, Zhou Qiong."

The foundation of the Zhenxihou Mansion is in Qingzhou, and he has never thought that one day, his whole family will not tolerate Dong Rui.

The escape route he found for his beloved girl and two families was the grasslands of the Western Region.

But after all, the grassland is vast and the risks are unknown, so we can only survive. If we really want to live in the narrow grassland in the west between Xijue Imperial Court and Dongrui, we are destined to live a life of hiding in Tibet.

If you want to take root, you still need to put in a lot of hard work.

But he didn't expect that the girl who was supposed to be protected by him had considered every aspect for him earlier.

She helped him earn money to support his army in the west, so that his soldiers would no longer suffer from hunger and cold, she made plans for his relatives, and even found a vaster ocean for him, saying that he was a dragon and should enter the sea to be free. .....

Feeling like he was lying in a warm honeypot, Prince Zhou couldn't hide his excitement, so he used a carrier pigeon to write a letter to Xiao Cong who was far away in Ruidu.

He shared his joy at having his love reciprocated, and only said politely at the end, "To prevent the epidemic, my cousin remembers to drink more medicine."

Xiao Cong, who has no wife, no concubine, no confidante and no fiancée: "..."

After reading the letter, I was really speechless, so I asked the secret guard next to me: "Where is Mr. Jun now?"

The secret guard replied: "I'm busy in the drug store, trying to get some information."

"Well, when he comes back, remember to ask him to look at the letters on the table for me and ask him if he has any other ideas."

"Yes."

Xiao Cong finally felt a little relieved and was writing when another secret guard hurried into the room.

"Mrs. Yao Ge passed away due to a high fever. Mr. Yao Ge also contracted the disease and was lying in bed unable to get out of bed. The doctors in his family were also helpless. The uncle of the Yao family was blocked from seeing His Majesty by the Liu family's party. Now he is begging on his knees. At the palace gate."

Xiao Cong's hand holding the pen paused, "He will definitely not be able to see you during the critical period. Did you say anything?"

There are only two imperial doctors left in the palace, and the others are ordinary doctors. It seems that the chamberlains are not willing to let the imperial doctors go to see a doctor. Once they go, they will never come back. Besides, the Liu family's people don't want him to see His Majesty, which means that Your Majesty will be even more angry with the Liu family.

A smile appeared on the secret guard's face, "The uncle of the Yao family was crying and begging to see His Majesty and send a doctor to his father. At the same time, he was cursing and saying that the Liu family was a harmful person. Their family was kind enough to send a doctor." He treated the Liu family, but the Liu family deliberately concealed the epidemic and harmed his father and mother."

"With such a quarrel, these two families are at loggerheads. The original relationship does not count."

The sons of Mr. Yao Ge had mediocre qualifications. They relied on Mr. Yao Ge's relationship to become low-ranking officials in Ruidu. If Mr. Yao Ge really died of illness because of this, then the two families would be mortal enemies.

Xiao Cong pondered for a moment and said: "Bake a few bowls of medicine according to the prescription received the day before yesterday and send it directly to Yao's family. They said that the efficacy of the medicine cannot be guaranteed and it is up to them to decide whether to drink it or not."
