Have space to challenge your heart

Chapter 14: Road Encounter

It is said that the two Yinzhen brothers left the inn early in the morning and headed towards Heze. They rode lightly and quickly, and arrived in Cangyun County in four days, heading straight for Jinxiu Pavilion.

Although the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion has never met Yinzhen, he also knows the token in his hand, and he is very respectful to them, answering every question.

After Yinzhen inquired carefully, he wished to beat Chen Ren to death. The Medicinal Food Hall had been around for five or six years, and they, a group of useless people, actually hid it from him in order to fill their own pockets.After privately using shady methods such as snatching recipes and poaching the wall to no avail, he joined forces with Prince Yu's Zhulanxuan, took advantage of his relationship, bought out all the surrounding medicinal materials at high prices, and forced cooperation.Who knew that other people's medicinal materials had their own channels, so they were not affected at all, and nearly ten thousand taels of silver were lost in vain.In order to evade responsibility, Chen Ren and others only reported good news to him, and did not dare to report worries, for fear of being known by him, they did not dare to use the power of the government wantonly.

I can hear that Yinzhen's anger and hatred are all pigs, and they don't know how to use their brains when doing things.So the big shopkeeper was a disaster, and he was directly on the front line of fire, becoming a punching bag.After another batch of high-quality porcelain was changed, Yinzhen motioned to the shopkeeper to continue, ignoring his bitter face.

After much deliberation, the shopkeeper decided to tell the truth, and told him that after Chen Ren and the others had nothing to do, they could only let the cook go to the medicated food hall to eat medicated food every day, and write out the recipe based on experience.After spending nearly 3 taels of silver, he finally imitated more than a dozen medicated diets, and kept an eye on the movement of the medicated diet hall, and then launched some set meals.

The shopkeeper looked at his master's increasingly anxious face, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly told Yinzhen that the money that Jinxiu Pavilion lost here has been made up elsewhere.After all, Medicinal Food Hall is only limited to Cangyun County, while Jinxiu Pavilion has dozens of branches scattered in various places.Although Jinxiu Pavilion's medicated food is not popular here, it still earns a lot of money in other places.

Moreover, Chen Ren and the others did not give up the pressure. Recently, the owner of the Medicinal Food Hall seemed to be unable to withstand it, so he let go, saying that they could sell some medicinal diet recipes, and they are now negotiating.

Hearing this, Yinzhen's complexion improved a lot, and he ordered: "As far as possible, arrange for me to meet the owner of the medicine hall." The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed.

After three days, Yinzhen hadn't seen the owner, so he stopped waiting and came to the door in person.However, they didn't see anyone even after going there a few times. They said they went to buy medicinal materials, and they didn't come back until two days later. The two brothers had to wait.

As for Yin'e finally eating the authentic herbal diet that he had been thinking about for a long time, he was so happy to eat it, and felt comfortable physically and mentally, completely ignoring the appearance of his ninth brother's heartache.Of course, I wish the shopkeeper even more happiness. These two are the gods of wealth. They specialize in expensive ones and they are not the same (actually only Yin’er). .However, the foodie of the old ten always had to eat so much that he was willing to leave with a few more pastries. Although he also likes to eat, it doesn't mean he doesn't feel bad!

More than 1 taels of silver disappeared in two days. That was his salary for several years (without his own other property, just the salary for the prince), that prodigal son of the tenth!

When the third day came, shopkeeper Zhu finally told them that the boss was already waiting in the private room.The shopkeeper Zhu led the two brothers into the private room, then dismissed the people around him, and even accompanied him himself.

With a face like a crown jade, eyes like bright stars, a nose like a gall, lips like rouge, a long body, and a suave manner, what a modest gentleman.

Yinzhen is proud of being suave and suave, but he has to admit that he has a good skin.But thinking of his deflated purse, he not only stared at Qingqiu with a half-smile, but mocked: "Master Qing is really busy!" Sending him the depression of the past few days.

Qingqiu just smiled, and personally brewed the 'banished immortal' for the two brothers, making Yinzhen feel like being hit on cotton, light and boring, so he stopped thinking about it.Furthermore, he always felt that Qingqiu was a smiling tiger like his starling, with a deep scheming heart.

But let’s not talk about the quality of the tea, just the act of making tea is a kind of enjoyment.Unlike the delicate beauty of the tea-making girl, she is uniquely pleasing and handsome, and sitting there is a kind of scenery.His appearance is slightly better than that of starlings, but his imposing demeanor makes him absolutely impossible to be mistaken for a woman.

"Both of you, please try our new tea." The voice was warm, deep and pleasant.

Yin'er couldn't help thinking, if she was a woman, she might be addicted to just listening to the voice.

"Not bad!" Yinzhen took a sip of the drink, his lips and teeth lingering in fragrance, which is different from the Wizard of Oz. The "Wizard of Oz" gives people the enjoyment of falling into a fairyland, admiring the beautiful scenery and following the footprints of immortals, like a dream; Xian' gives people the feeling of coldness and loneliness. Drinking tea, one can't help but think of the person in front of him - Qingqiu, the boss's temperament is also the same.

"The Yao Palace is lonely and locks up thousands of years, and the nine-day wind is only a shadow. It's better to return to the world of mortals with a smile, and I will fly with flowers and carry my sleeves." Yinzhen's contemplation was interrupted by a warm and jade-like voice.

"It suits you very well," Yinzhen sighed, "Yes, brother ten." Turning around, she saw that her younger brother was acting stupidly at a man, who looked like a legendary nymphomaniac, but the object was a man.The little girl was frightened immediately, no, I have to send a message to Er Niang when I go back, hinting to Concubine Wen Xi, the hobby of the tenth brother, help him choose a few more beauties, and save him back.

This is also the reason why Concubine Wen Xi pointed out a side Fujin and Gege to Elder Brother Shi in the subsequent draft, and gave away several beautiful Han women.The slow-headed Yin'er just thought that her mother thought that he had few heirs and cared about him, and she didn't know that she was misunderstood by her brother.

For Yin'er's sake, Yinzhen even told Concubine Wen Xi that Yin'er was very interested in the daughter of Niu Hulu's family, which caused waves in Wanru's draft.Of course, this is all for later, so I won't mention it for now.

"Old Ten, what are you doing?" Yinzhen asked with a dark face, suppressing his anger, and gritted his teeth.

"Ah! Ninth Brother, no, nothing." How could he stare blankly at a man? Thinking of this, Yin'e's dark cheeks couldn't help getting hot, and he said with a dry smile: "Well, I just think tea is very good. How do I want to describe it, but I can’t think of it all at once.” Although I know that this excuse is bad, it’s better than admitting that I think men are stupid.

"Oh." Although Yinzhen didn't believe it, she changed the topic cooperatively, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized.

"I like to bring some more back home, I think my brother Qingqiu won't mind." Yinzhen directly changed his address, so as to save some money and recover some losses.

"Old Zhu, give each of the two masters three taels, 'banished immortal'." Qingqiu directly ordered the shopkeeper Zhu, and responded with actions.

Seeing Yinzhen's smiling face, Qingqiu knew what his plan was, but he was not angry, but very happy.The labor I sent to the door is not in vain, after all, it is the prince, it is easier than them to break into the aristocratic circle, and it is good to let them go back to Beijing to advertise (learned from the lady).Therefore, even if Yinzhen didn't ask for it, he would take the initiative to give it to them.

"That's good." I didn't expect to be so generous. Even if calculated according to the price of "The Wizard of Oz", six taels of "Bailing Immortal" is 6000 taels of silver.Well, that's right, half of the money is paid back, and when you go back and sell it to those who love tea at a high price, you can make up the money.I have to have a good talk with him, maybe we can cooperate and help them sell in other places. Even if I only earn a difference in price, it is still a lot of money.

Yinzhen is worthy of being a genius in business, and his thoughts turned a few times in an instant, and he patted Qingqiu's shoulder enthusiastically and said: "Qingqiu, such a good tea is only sold here, wouldn't it make people who love tea sad. Look—— "

"Hehe, this tea is more difficult to make than the 'Wizard of Oz', and of course the effect is more significant. It not only nourishes qi and nourishes health, but also has the effect of prolonging life. The two masters can slowly appreciate the benefits of it." Qingqiu lightly sniffed the tea fragrance, He continued leisurely: "If a woman drinks it, it can also beautify her face."

"Oh?" Yinzhen's eyes flashed brightly, no matter what, she wanted to take down the Yaoshantang, what a cash cow.

"Bring up a few newly-produced medicinal foods, let the two masters taste them for us, and give us your opinions by the way." Eat it, and experience the benefits of it, the better the better, the more you want to get it.Only when there is competition will there be pressure, and only the fourth master's people can agree to their conditions faster, Qingqiu looked at the two people opposite with a smile on his lips.

Soon a few new dishes were brought up, except for Yin'er who was struggling with the delicious food, the other two, although they had their own plans in mind, still talked and laughed without changing their faces.Therefore, a meal is still very lively while the two of them are pushing cups and changing cups.

Yinzhen proposed cooperation several times, but was distracted by Qingqiu indiscriminately.

On the other hand, Qingming got news that Qingqiu became restless after having dinner with Brother Nine and Brother Ten.Originally thought that the Medicinal Food Hall would not be able to withstand the pressure because of Jinxiu Pavilion and Zhulanxuan's Tiger Vision, so they lowered their heads and lowered their demands first.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the two families, who had been fighting so happily, suddenly came together and were ready to cooperate.In fact, why bother, the conditions raised by others are completely within the scope of fourth master's promise, and I just want to further control the medicine hall for better performance.Hey, if you go to find someone to cooperate with now, don't you just tell them to put forward conditions as much as you want!I have to cooperate with you, if you don't go, then you won't be able to complete the task.

Distressed, in the end Qingming decided to give it a try, it was better to lose face than to be punished.

Who knew that the boss wasn't there the next day, didn't it mean that he didn't see him? Could it be that he had already talked with Master Jiu?

Impossible, no, I have to hurry.

So Qingming began to sit on the sidelines.

What happened in Cangyun County seemed unknown. After traveling for more than ten days, they finally arrived at Niuhulu Mansion.

Niu Hulu Lingzhu, who didn't care about Wanru at first, got the news from Niu Hulu Tianyu that Elder Brother Ten was interested in his daughter, Wanru immediately became his precious daughter, and waited in the main hall early, even The old lady was waiting there too.

Zhang Jia waited eagerly at the door, and when Niu Hulu Tianyu got off the carriage first, she hurried up to meet her, asked where her daughter was, and even asked Nanny Chen to go to Fuwan to get off in person.

"Yu'er, you are in good health. Are you tired? Er Niang is worried." There was no trace of guilt in Zhang Jia's eyes, as if her daughter had just traveled far away and was busy showing her loving mother's side and caring for her. Asked: "Good girl, bear with me, after going to see the old lady and your Ama, you can rest, Er Niang has prepared a lot of delicious food for you."

Talking and holding hands is like entering a mansion.

When I arrived at the hall, an old lady in her fifties, wearing a navy blue one-breasted flag dress, a red gold filigree magpie and plum hairpin, and a jade drop earring, the ancestor of the Niu Hulu Mansion, was talking to Ling Zhu What, saw Wanru come in, looking at her kindly.

Just as if deliberately hiding behind Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Jiashi pretended to be unhappy, and hurriedly pulled her to salute: "Er Niang, don't be offended, this girl has never seen outsiders, she is shy, and she was sent to the countryside by Aunt Yun when she was young." Back home, I have no chance to learn some etiquette." He wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and looked at the old lady sadly, these words gave Yun's eyes enough.

The old lady was a little dissatisfied, and immediately turned to Yun, her golden grandson was actually sent away by her, hmph, at the same time, she looked at Wanru with pity, and waved to her: "Yu'er, you are tired, come on!" See you, Ama, and let your mother-in-law take you to rest later." Holding Wan Ru's little hand, although her complexion was a little pale, her skin was still smooth and felt good, no wonder it caught the eyes of Elder Brother Ten, thinking of Here I am more satisfied with Wanru, and said kindly: "This is you, Ama."

At the same time, he glared at Ling Zhu, signaling him not to put on airs, and frightened his grandson Jin.

"Ama." Wan Ru shyly looked at Ling Zhu with some expectation and anxiety.I complained in my heart, is it true that the family does not enter the family, and her snobby mother gave birth to a snobby son, and my cheap relatives are really speechless, that's all, just pay them off and give them some money.

"Okay, you are weak, go to rest early, Xianya, pay more attention." Ling Zhu said in a gentle voice as much as possible.

Hearing this, Zhang Jia was very moved, Yun secretly hated, and the old lady was very satisfied, as if she wanted to vomit.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wanru followed Zhang Jiashi to the Finnish Academy where she lived temporarily. It was obviously newly refurbished and very delicate.Sighing secretly, it seems that the temptation of the emperor's relatives is still great. From Cai Weina, he seems to know that this place used to be called Yilan Courtyard, and it was the courtyard of Niu Hulu Jinhuan, after all, it was drafting for her.Speaking of Jinhuan, I haven't seen that younger sister yet.

"Emiang, where's the second sister? Doesn't she like me? Why didn't I see it?" Puzzled, it seems that there is something inside.

Zhang Jia said disdainfully: "That shameless girl actually had sex with someone—" He stopped talking halfway, almost slipping the tongue, but he couldn't let his precious daughter hear these nasty things, rolled his eyes and said: "She She is not in good health, and the old lady is afraid that she will become sick to the people in the house, so she is sent to the village in Tangshan."

"Yu'er, I discussed it with the old lady. Nanny Liu (Wanru's nanny) and Caihe have taken good care of you, so I will continue to follow you. When you get married this year, let them be your nanny in charge. , In addition, I will give you three second-class maids, five coarse maids and the old woman, after all, the two little girls Youlan and Mengmeng are too young, so Erniang is worried." I have to take good care of my precious daughter, what about my daughter? I don't understand, I can't let someone ruin it, I checked it inside and out, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so I said at ease: "You wash up, eat some food and have a good rest, Er Niang will come to see you tomorrow." Said After finishing, she took Mother Chen and left.

After Zhang Jiashi left, Mengmeng said with a bitter face: "Miss, why are they all hypocritical people! And they even despise me, hum, I want them to taste my strength." Said with eyes Dusk flashed.

"Enough is enough, don't cause trouble." Wan Ru pinched her little face indifferently.

You Lan looked at the young lady's actions very enviously, saying that she also wanted to pinch her cute baby face, but she didn't dare, so she could only look at her young lady resentfully.

After about a stick of incense, Nanny and Caihe also came back. They were originally from the mansion, so they still knew a few people.So I went for a walk and inquired about the situation in the mansion by the way.After all, it's been 13 years since I left, so I don't know what's going on now.

You can also find out what happened recently.

The nannies each told Wan Ru what they had heard, and then they also left.

The nanny directed the poor women to tidy up the small kitchen in the yard. The young lady definitely didn't like their food, it was too bad, so she had better cook it herself.

Caihe looked at the new girl carefully, the three second-class maids Xia Yu, Xia Xia, Xia Lian, Xia Yu and Xia Lian were alright, they looked really capable.That summer was not very peaceful, I always inquired about the young lady intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know if it was to please the young lady, or whose eyes?

Caihe told Mengmeng her doubts and asked her to ask. After all, her hypnotism is second only to Miss and Qingqiu, and she can make people unaware even after being tricked.

Mengmeng was very excited about this, and finally it was her turn to play.

Mengmeng shot one for two, and soon figured it out.

It turned out that Xia Tian was the son of Niu Hulu's family, and her mother was originally Zhang Jia's dowry maid, but Zhang Jia assigned her to a servant instead of letting her be a housekeeper to serve Ling Zhu, so she hated Zhang Jia and secretly Voted for Yun's.When Mrs. Yun heard that Mrs. Zhang Jia wanted to let Xia Tian be Wanru's second-class maid, she secretly instigated her and taught her how to make Wanru happy, so as to win her over.After all, in Aunt Yun's eyes, she seems like a careless yellow-haired girl who has never seen the world, and Xia Tian can still handle it.When Wanru marries into the tenth elder brother's mansion, Xia Tian can instigate Wanru to serve the prince and make her a concubine.By doing this, Aunt Yun can share Wanru's favor and make things difficult for her; secondly, she can also let Xia Tian be her own help, so that she can compete with Zhang Jia's, which is really a wishful thinking.

Wan Ru laughed when she found out, why did everyone think that she would definitely marry that stunned young man Yin'er.Not to mention that she doesn't want to marry the prince, even if she marries the prince, she must marry Sisi, at least he is the final winner and she won't be implicated.

He seemed too lazy to take care of these non-threatening people, after all, he sent off the people in the mansion just after he came back, no matter what, it would be hard to save face.
