Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Chapter two hundred and fortieth money

Gu Jiu came to Shaofu.

Today she is here to pick someone.

There are not enough people around her, so she has to personally select a few people to go back.

The Huangmen who was a regular attendant that Fang mama had introduced to her before was named Deng Cunli, who was over forty years old.

How beautiful Deng Cunli was in the past, how downhearted he is now.

If Gu Jiu was willing to give him a chance, he should be willing to leave the palace.

But she still has to look at people first.

In case it doesn't fit the eye, it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, don't worry.

Hmm, no problem.

Gu Jiu is also a hidden face control.

She's not demanding, she's just fine.

The Shaofu family ordered people to select twenty small yellow gates for Gu Jiu to choose. Among them is the oldest Deng Cunli.

Gu Jiu swept his gaze towards Deng Cunli, who looked old, looking like a man in his early fifties with gray hair. But the whole body was neatly tidied up, and the nails were neatly trimmed.

It doesn't look like a sloppy middle-aged man in his imagination.

Deng Cunli noticed Gu Jiu's gaze, he slowly raised his head, and saw Fang Mo who was standing behind Gu Jiu, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

He was surprised, how could Mrs. Zhao call his name in person.

He is a person who is half-in-the-coffin, how can he get Mrs. Zhao's eyes. It turned out that it was Mama Fang who spoke kindly for him.

He was slightly excited inside, but soon became indifferent. The whole person stood there calmly, with a very low sense of existence.

Gu Jiu noticed Deng Cunli's eyes, his eyes were still sharp, and his will was not worn away by suffering.

She nodded secretly, her first impression of Deng Cunli was not bad.

The rest of the Xiaohuangmen were all between the ages of sixteen or seventeen to twenty-one or two, and they all looked dignified.

There was that clever one, who rolled his eyes around and secretly looked at Gu Jiu, hoping to attract attention.

There were also those who were dumb, as if they didn't know what was going on, and stood there in a daze.

Gu Jiu's eyes,

Swipe across everyone's face.

Then she asked everyone to briefly introduce themselves, starting from name, age, place of origin, when they entered the palace, and what errands they did.

While listening to the little Huangmen introducing herself, she compared the booklet.

In the end, it was Deng Cunli's turn. He simply said his name, age, place of origin, and nothing else.

Gu Jiu already knew it.

The Shaofu family decree asked, Does Madam have a favorite candidate? If you are not satisfied with these, the old man will let him choose 20 more for Madam to choose.

Gu Jiu laughed softly and said, Thank you sir, I have already chosen.

Oh? I don't know who Madam chose?

Gu Jiu smiled and pointed at the two clever little Huangmen, The two of them.

Then he pointed to a simple and honest little yellow door, and finally Deng Cunli was selected.

Seeing Deng Cunli who Gu Jiu had picked, the Shaofu family commander couldn't help laughing.

Madam's selection is really unique.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, I'm young, so I can choose any one, and I'll know which kind of person is really easy to use in the future.

The commander of the Shaofu family laughed, Mrs. is right. Just like rice raises white people, they should be selected and ordered in an unconventional manner.

After finishing speaking, the Shaofu family ordered people to go through the formalities.

Cross out the names of the four Huangmen from the harem roster and record them in the roster of Prince Ning's mansion.

They also made identity badges for the four of them. From now on, the four of them will be members of the palace.

The remaining sixteen were sent away.

The four of them stepped forward together, Meet Madam.

Gu Jiu nodded, In the future, you will be working next to Mrs. Ben, and you must keep one thing in mind. You must obey Mrs. Ben's orders in everything. Except for Mrs. Ben, you don't need to pay attention to others. clear.

Remember Madam's teachings.

Gu Jiu snorted, Deng Cunli is an experienced man, you three should listen to his opinions in the future.

It was decided that the four Huangmen were headed by Deng Cunli.

Deng Cunli was neither humble nor arrogant, Thank you, Madam. Madam's kindness of re-creation will be remembered for five years.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, Eunuch Deng really appreciates me, so he will do things for this lady wholeheartedly, okay?

I can't afford to be a father-in-law. If I can get my wife's attention, I will serve my wife wholeheartedly and live up to my wife's kindness.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, That's very good. Get up and go shopping with Mrs. Ben.

Gu Jiu rarely went out, so naturally he wouldn't return to the palace so early.

She rode in a carriage and walked lightly, and came to the Four Seas Xinglin Hall.

She didn't rush in, but looked at the situation of the pharmacy through the car window.

Dr. Tian was taking a pulse and prescribing a prescription for someone, and his son Tian Ku was grabbing medicine behind the counter, dragging his inflexible legs.

Er Zhuang held an abacus to settle accounts.

A yamen came to the pharmacy, and Er Zhuang greeted him with a smile on his face. From the way they speak, it is obvious that they know each other, and their relationship is not bad.

After chatting for a while, Er Zhuang invited the yamen to drink in the evening, and the yamen naturally agreed.

After sending the yamen away, another wave of embroidered clothes and guards came.

Er Zhuang also greeted each other warmly, chatting and laughing with each other.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jiu laughed.

I didn't expect Er Zhuang and Xiu Yiwei to have a good relationship, not bad.

In this way, she can take the opportunity to raise a few nails in the embroidered clothes.

After Er Zhuang sent off the embroidered bodyguard, Gu Jiu got off the carriage, crossed the street, and came to the medicine store.

Deng Cunli guarded Gu Jiu, carefully guarding against the pedestrians on the street.

Gu Jiu nodded secretly, and he entered the state so quickly, and it turned out to be an old man.

As for the other three Huangmen, they were young and had little knowledge.

When Er Zhuang saw Gu Jiu suddenly, he was taken aback.

He hurried forward and asked in a low voice, Why is Madam here?

At the same time, he looked at several unfamiliar faces around Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Come and have a look.

Madam, please speak in the backyard.

Gu Jiu's identity is unusual now, and Er Zhuangsheng was afraid that some heat would collide with her, and also worried that her identity would be seen through. So he quickly welcomed Gu Jiu and his group to the backyard.

When passing through the lobby, Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, indicating to Doctor Tian to continue his pulse diagnosis without salute.

When I got to the backyard, the green plums were familiar with the road and made a pot of tea.

Er Zhuang brought all the account books after the opening, Please take a look at Madam.

Gu Jiu put his hand on the ledger, It's not urgent. I'll introduce you to a few of them first. This is Deng Cunli, this is...

After introducing the four Huangmen to Er Zhuang, Gu Jiu said, From now on, the four of them will serve me by my side. If something happens, I will send the four of them to inform you. If you have something, ask the concierge. Just call them out of the house. I'll say hello from the porter.

After all, Gu Jiu gave Er Zhuang a certificate stamped with her own seal.

With this certificate, the concierge of the palace will call someone for you.

Er Zhuang solemnly accepted the certificate.

Looking at the scarlet Mrs. Zhao's Seal on it, Er Zhuang laughed.

Congratulations Madam, Madam Hershey.

Gu Jiu smiled, This is nothing. Is the business of the pharmacy good?

Er Zhuang said: It's just opened, business is very mediocre, and some people can't make ends meet. But a few days ago, a city gate official used our home-made rheumatism and pain relief cream, saying that the effect is very good. Yesterday, the person came to dispense the medicine again and recommended it. Come here with his robe.

Gu Jiu laughed when he heard it.

The four prescriptions she took out were all prescriptions prepared by later generations of old professors who summed up the experience of their predecessors, read various medical books, collected various data, and prepared them personally.

It is by no means that the broom is now treasured, handed down from generation to generation, and there is no improved prescription.

Gu Jiu said, A good start is half the battle. This off-the-shelf drugstore is not in a hurry to make money, it's about getting its name out first.

Er Zhuang responded, Little understands.

Gu Jiu picked up the ledger and flipped through it. The accounts are very clear, and every expense and receipt is recorded in the book.

She nodded with satisfaction and asked again, How's the business at Jumei Zhai?

Er Zhuang smiled brightly, By the end of the year, the business will get better all of a sudden.

Gu Jiu said, If there is any profit, remember to send the silver to the young master of the Su family.

Speaking of the Su family, Master Su Er came to the shop yesterday.

Is the second uncle here? What did he say?

Er Zhuang smiled and said, Master Su Er is not at ease, he just came over to have a look. He also asked us what herbs we are lacking right now, and made a list for him. If it is urgent, he can write back first and let someone bring the herbs.

Last night, the young doctor Wada invited Master Su Er to drink together until midnight. Xiao Xiao told him that he would not use medicinal materials for the first lunar month, and when the Chinese New Year was over, Xiao Xiao would make a list for him.

Gu Jiu nodded, You are doing it right. The second uncle may live in the capital and take care of me.

Little one understands. Last night, I ordered the servant in the restaurant to deliver wine and food to Master Su Biao.

Er Zhuang's work is really thoughtful.

Gu Jiu asked, Where's Song Zheng? Why didn't you see him today?

He went out to ask for news.

You tell Song Zheng that his identity document will be completed next month. In the future, he will be on duty in the palace, waiting for dispatch.

Song Zheng has been looking forward to this day. He must be very happy to hear this news.

Gu Jiu asked Er Zhuang, If you want an identity, I can do it for you too.

Er Zhuang shook his head frequently, The little one is only willing to be by the lady's side, waiting for the dispatch, and the little one will be the lady's pawn in this life.

Gu Jiu said with emotion, I've wronged you.

Er Zhuang smiled honestly, The little one is not wronged. The wife rescued our mother and son from Gao Erfu and gave us a living. The little one is very satisfied now.

Gu Jiu smiled and asked, How are your mother and your elder brother? How is the business of the racecourse now?

When he mentioned the northwest side, Er Zhuang became excited.

Letter from eldest brother, the horse farm is doing well. Fifty foals have been added this year, and 15 strong horses have been sold to Qingping horse farm, offsetting last year's accounts.

After finishing speaking, Er Zhuang took out the letter he received only yesterday and handed it over to Gu Jiu for a look.

My eldest brother also said in the letter that until next year, the racecourse will be able to take care of its own profits and losses, and there is no need for the wife to continue to subsidize it. As for the ledger, it will not be delivered until after the first month.

Gu Jiu looked at the letter and nodded.

She originally planned to run the horse farm in three to five years, but she did not expect that the horse farm would be able to take care of its own profits and losses within two years, which is quite remarkable.

Er Zhuang excitedly took out a woolen cloth from the warehouse, Please, madam, this is from the northwest.

Gu Jiu was very happy to see wool weaving.

Colored wool woven fabric is extra soft to the touch.

Immediately afterwards, Er Zhuang took out two plain wool fabrics. My mother used cotton and linen blended with wool, which is more durable to washing and lowers the cost. Small families can also afford it.

Gu Jiu was surprised.

She reached out and touched the cloth. The feel is really different from pure wool woven fabrics.

Er Zhuang told Gu Jiu, This kind of wool weaving blended with cotton and linen is particularly popular in the northwest. The workshop is busy every day, and the supply exceeds demand. The youngest has noticed that the wool weaving has not yet spread to the capital. Madam, do we want to open a cloth shop in the capital as well?

Gu Jiu said: There is no need to open another cloth shop. There is a cloth shop in my dowry. All these cloths can be sold at the cloth shop. By the way, are there many of these cloths?

Er Zhuang nodded, This time, a total of 20 woollen cloths were sent with the letter.

Gu Jiu said: Very good. Pick one of each type, and tomorrow you will deliver it to Duke Zhu's mansion and hand it over to the eldest young mistress of Duke Zhu's mansion.

Pei Yun was married to the eldest son of Duke Zhu's mansion, and is now the eldest young mistress of Duke Zhu's mansion.

Gu Jiu's wool workshop in the northwest cooperated with Pei Yun.

When the workshop has achieved results, she naturally wants to send the results to Pei Yun to show frankness and sharing.

When the workshop will hand over this year's ledger next year, it will also send a copy to Pei Yun.

Gu Jiu also selected a few horses and prepared to bring them back to the palace.

Wool weave, the most suitable for winter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Jiu set off for the palace.

Just after returning to the East Court to go to the room, Xiao Cui came to report, Mrs. Qi, Princess Huyang is visiting, and she is talking to the prince.

Princess Huyang, sister of King Ning.

Gu Jiu had never had the opportunity to meet Princess Huyang before, and heard that Princess Huyang had gone on vacation to the other courtyard of the palace.

She asked: Princess Huyang came to the door at this time, did she say why?

The slaves don't know. But the slaves heard from the wife of Ermen that when Princess Huyang came to the door, her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed to be in trouble.

It's not a year or a festival, it's naturally difficult to come to the door at this time.

Gu Jiu didn't pay much attention to this matter, and asked again, Is your son back?

Young master will be in the tourmaline pavilion, together with the prince.

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, You mean that the young master is going to be with the prince and Princess Huyang?

Exactly!

A few days ago, after Liu Zhao got a piece of news, he went out early and returned late every day. Could it be related to Princess Huyang?

Gu Jiu walked into the upper room and pondered.

After regaining her senses, she instructed Mammy Fang, Let a few small yellow clans go out and walk around and get acquainted with the palace as soon as possible. In addition, give them a little money to facilitate their actions.

Slave will make arrangements.

At this time, the little maid came to report, saying that the second lady was visiting.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Quickly invite the second lady in.

Ouyang Fu was invited to take a seat in the small study.

Second brother and sister, why are you free today, come to me.

Ouyang Fu smiled and said, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything. Sister-in-law has just returned, and she should have heard the news of Princess Huyang's visit.

Gu Jiu nodded, Exactly. I don't know why Princess Huyang is visiting at this time.

Ouyang Fu said, I know. Princess Huyang is here to ask for money.

Huh?

It was asking for money.

Gu Jiu asked casually, Could it be that the palace owes Princess Huyang money?

Ouyang Fu shook his head, That's not true. Princess Huyang and the concubine are so luxurious, and their rank is not enough every year, so they have to travel to the palace every year to fight the autumn breeze. Who made the father and the princess Huyang a brother and sister of a compatriot.

Gu Jiu smiled.

It is said that there are many wonderful things in the royal family, and before she entered the door, she had already met a strange one.

As far as I know, Princess Huyang earns at least 300,000 to 50,000 taels of rank each year, and there are various types of income. There are also various industries under the name of the concubine. The income of a few hundred thousand taels a year is not enough to spend?

Ouyang Fu pursed her lips and smiled, Who said no. Just wait and see, tomorrow morning, the princess will be furious and anger you, me and others. Sister-in-law, prepare early, and don't let the princess grab the handle.

Thank you second brother and sister for reminding me.

Gu Jiu sent Ouyang Fu away, feeling a little uneasy.

When Princess Huyang came to the door, was it really just to beat the autumn wind?

Joy Hall.

Xiao Qin'er looked at Liu Yi with red eyes.

I've been in the mansion these few days, and I can't even lift my head up. Everyone is laughing at me. The New Year is approaching. Would you like to say something nice to my mother-in-law? Anyway, let me participate in the New Year's event item by item. Matters. Otherwise, at that time, I will really be embarrassed.

Liu Yi was playing with a famous sword, Aunt Huyang came to the door today, and the concubine is annoyed. You asked me to see the concubine at this time, wouldn't it be bad luck. It's a few days later.

It will be New Year's Day in a few days. How can I have my share.

Liu Yi stared at her, I knew this earlier, why bother. When the mother and concubine were young, she was the only one. Now that she is older, she is more loving. You dare to hide the account and not report it, you are really bold.

Xiao Qin'er was aggrieved, I didn't do it all for you. You spend money outside like water, and the money won't fall from the sky. I can only try every way to raise money.

Liu Yi was impatient, Okay, how many times do you have to say this.

He put down the famous sword, threw it to the servant, and then said, I'll go to see the king. I don't know how much Aunt Huyang wants this year.
