Shuang Xiaohan and Meizi

After coming out, he closed the door, and Shui Wuya headed towards the kitchen where a maid asked him. At the corner of the corridor, a gorgeously dressed woman suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Why did you still appear? Why didn't you die?" The woman stared at Shui Wuya coldly with a gloomy expression on her face.

Frowning, Shui Wuya looked at her in confusion, wondering why he would say such things to himself when he met for the first time.

"You'd better leave as soon as possible. Don't think that this family will let you run amok after my sister's death. Let me tell you, Xiao Ruo won't allow you to appear in this family. If you don't want to be the same as before, get out of Lacquer Diao Mansion immediately." .” Seeing that he didn’t show any expression, the woman simply put down her heavy words.

"Sorry." Shui Wuya seemed to have thought of something, and smiled lightly, "I don't understand why you said such things to me, but I am not who you think I am, and I just came to Qidiao Mansion as a doctor to be the head of the family The Lord heals the disease, I am not interested in other things." After speaking, he nodded slightly, and continued to walk towards the kitchen through the woman's obstruction.

Behind him, he could still vaguely hear the woman muttering: "Impossible...how could...it's not him..."

Going out of the promenade and walking in the garden of Chrysanthemum Garden, Shui Wuya looked at the chrysanthemums blooming all over the ground, and suddenly felt as if he had walked into a mystery, without knowing the direction...

§§§§§

As the days went by, the weather gradually turned colder, and it had been more than half a month since I came to Lacquer Diao Mansion in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, the scenery in front of me had changed from golden chrysanthemums all over the ground to dry grass, but when I found it, it didn't seem to be there. I don't feel the passage of time.

Shui Wuya couldn't help sighing as his fingers gently stroked the strings.

"Why sigh?"

Sitting across from him, Qi Diaoming brushed back his hair that had been blown away by the wind. After many days of treatment, his body was gradually improving. Looking at the piano score that had been blown out of order, he smiled and asked him who was too far away from his mind.

"It's nothing." He smiled back gently, "Your body has just started to improve, and you still can't breathe in the cold wind." He stood up and closed the window, and then poured a cup of homemade herbal tea for the man.

Taking a sip from the cup, the tip of the tongue is bitter and sweet, which shows the thoughtfulness of the tea maker, "It doesn't seem to be bitter enough." Qi Diao meditated for a long time and said this sentence.

"Not bitter enough?" Shui Wuya smiled endlessly, "Don't you still like bitter medicine?" He raised his eyebrows in a funny way. After treating so many patients, this was the first time he met a patient who liked bitter soup.

"Perhaps the bitter feeling can make people feel the effect of the medicine volatilize." Qi Diaoming suddenly thought of this sentence, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Shui Wuya smiled lightly, "This sentence is interesting, it sounds..."

"Father."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"what's up?"

"Father." The door was pushed open, and the second son, Mo Yan, walked in. "There is something wrong with the medicinal material business. Boss Que of the Imperial City Main Store wants to see you. I asked him to wait in the lobby."

"Did something happen?" Qi Diao Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Yes... yes." Mo Hua paused with some hesitation.

Shui Wuya narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, picked up the teapot on the table, "I don't think there's much medicinal tea left, I'm going to make some." Walking outside, he was polite when passing by Mo Cheng. He nodded, but at the same time, he did not miss the doubt and search hidden deep in the other party's eyes.

In the past half a month, he has seen this look countless times. It seems that everyone is curious about his identity and why he is treated with excessive 'courteous treatment' by the head of the family.

Sighing again, he turned around and closed the door from the outside, heading towards the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away outside the house, Qi Diaoming asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's the goods that went wrong this time. According to Boss Que, it seems that someone is behind the scenes. The channel we purchased this time just fell into someone else's trap. The source of this batch of medicinal materials is not correct."

"Oh?" Qi Diaoming narrowed his eyes in thought, tapped the three fingers of his left hand on the table, "Let's go and have a look." He stood up and walked out. Mo Yan did not miss his father's last movement, and sighed softly.

After so many years, the father still never leaves the pair of plum jade pendants, whether it is business or private, they are all tightly held in his hands, even at the funeral of his mother.

That man, for so many years, is still by his father's side in a unique way...

§§§§§

"So... everything this time is... all my fault, please be the head of the family... punish me... for my dereliction of duty... "Boss Que looked at Qi Diaoming, who was sitting in the main seat with no expressions, and couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead, even faltering when he spoke.

"Our medicinal materials have always been specially imported from the large medicinal towns near Baishan Mountain in the north. This is the only purchase channel that Qidiao Mansion has stipulated for many years. Why did you change it without permission this time?" Qi Diao said with deep eyes. Staring at Boss Que, a deep voice flowed coldly in the spacious reception hall.

"Actually...it's not...it's not..." Boss Que hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say it, fearing that speaking out would only make his death worse quick.

In recent years, the family business has been managed by the young master, so it seems that many people have forgotten all the panic and anxiety during the days when the head of the house was in charge, especially the few months about 20 years ago, that is, the head of the house During the time when they just got married, on the day of the accounts reconciliation once a month, almost all the stewards were in danger, careful about every word.Later, the family's business was gradually handed over to the eldest young master, and everyone's life gradually got better, but I didn't expect that today, I would have to face these again.

"Why didn't you say it?" The gloomy and haughty gaze shot out coldly, enough to freeze a person to death on the spot.

"Yes...yes..." Boss Que seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, this is not the first time that medicinal materials have been imported into Ying'an Town. Because over the years, Baishan Zhenzheng has been our source of customers for many years. They are harsh on the quality and price of medicinal materials. Sometimes not very good ginseng will be sold to us at the price of the product. Due to the old friendship over the years, we have never said much. , but many of our customers here have already complained deeply about these things.

About five months ago, I stayed overnight in Ying'an Town on the way to Baishan Town, and met Boss Qiu who provided us with goods this time.At that time, it was because he was in trouble that we came to help. He sent some good ginseng as a thank you gift, and didn't say anything.Later, I met Boss Qiu in Ying'an Town several times when I bought goods, and I felt that this person was not bad.

It was only later that I found out that he was in the business of medicinal materials in Ying'an Town, and he was well received locally, saying that his medicinal materials were of good quality and the price was reasonable. At that time, I happened to meet Baishan Town's unreasonable request for an increase in the price, so I said Thinking of trying to get a little more from Boss Qiu.Later, our customers were very satisfied with his medicinal materials, and I thought this man was fair and kind in his business, so I decided to buy some expensive medicinal materials from Baishan Town simply from him.Nothing happened in the past few months, but I never expected that such a big mistake would happen this time. "

Boss Que was a little ashamed when he said this. It seems that the other party had planned to frame Qi Diao Mansion long ago. It was because he was inaccurate in knowing people that such a thing happened.

"When did you find out that these medicinal materials are actually the royal medicine for the imperial court to aid the little Zou country." Qi Diaoming frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice.

"Three...Three days ago, it was Steward Gu who came to inspect the store and saw the matsutake hidden in the batch of medicinal materials. That's how I found out." Boss Que would always regret it when he thought of this. When you check more carefully, it won't be like this.

Matsutake is a very important and precious medicinal material in foreign countries. It is not only beneficial to the recovery of the body, but also a very good ingredient. This is the tribute accumulated by the imperial court every year when receiving foreign tributes. Unless the folks are very rich, or It is the princes and aristocrats who bestow a little, if not for the blizzard that is rare in a century in the small Zou country, the emperor would not have given such a precious thing.But such a precious and important thing is now being placed in the lacquer carver's medicine store, which is all caused by his negligence and recklessness.

Because of the identity of the eldest lady, the lacquer carver has been excluded in the court, and many princes and nobles are envious of the stable power of the lacquer carver. If this time the matter leaks out, those who wait for the opportunity will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. chance.

"You go back first." Qi Diaoming didn't say much, and waved him to go out.

"Uh..." Boss Que raised his head and looked at Qi Diaoming in astonishment, that's all...you can go...

He thought that this time he must be severely punished.Therefore, there was such a situation many years ago, due to the serious loss caused by the negligence of the steward, the head of the family who was still the young master at that time chopped off the man's right hand with the soft sword at his waist on the spot.At that bloody scene, the other stewards present were too frightened to move, and since then, they have become even more terrified when facing the head of the family.

But this time...it's just like that? ? ?

"What? Do you have to leave something behind before you leave?" Qi Diaoming narrowed his eyes, and the condensed air in his body gave off a dangerous signal.

"No...no, this subordinate will leave." Boss Que saluted hurriedly and respectfully, and Boss Que still couldn't believe his good luck until he walked out the door.
