Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 54

The next day, Lu Heng went to Bai's house again, this time with Gong Lan.

It's for the drugstore.

Why do you have to recognize people first.

Bai Yingxuan and Bai Wenshi's attitude towards Gong Er was more affectionate than when they met Jiu'er yesterday.This is inevitable.Jiu'er is only Lu Heng's concubine, while Gong Er is the wife that Lu Heng's master told him.

In traditional thinking, the status of wives and concubines is vastly different.

Bai Wenshi personally took Gong Lan to the Hundred Herbs Hall, picked out a good drug-recognition guy and shared it with Lu Heng's pharmacy, and fulfilled the agreement with Lu Heng, that is, the top-grade medicinal materials were divided into half, so the Lu family's The pharmacy opened.

In the next few days, Lu Heng spent most of his time running between Hailan Garden and Pingkangfang.Bai Sanye handled things neatly, and soon invited craftsmen, ordered calligraphy and painting, porcelain, furniture, etc., and within a few days, the pre-work was done properly.

Jiu'er followed Bai Sanye without a single step. In just a few days, his knowledge has greatly improved.

This is also what Lu Heng meant - please third master Bai to teach her more.

The ability to treat people and things, teach by words and deeds.

Gong Lan has nothing to do. The pharmacy has just opened, and there is almost no business. After a few days, she only made two orders.After all, top-grade medicinal materials are not weeds on the roadside.

Jiu'er is too busy.During the day, I have to run around with the third master Bai, and treat people and things.After I went home, I had to learn arithmetic with Lu Heng and literacy with Gong Lan in the evening.

This girl is tenacious, very hard-working, and very attentive.

He just said why he couldn't be idle and wanted to help Lu Heng.Otherwise, you will feel useless.

Lu Heng couldn't persuade her either—Liang Jiu'er was soft on the outside and tough on the inside.

In fact, Lu Heng also likes her.

Gong Lan's temperament is relatively cold. Because of her family education, she seems to have a style, but in fact, this girl is weaker than Jiu'er.

She was also young, and Lu Heng took pity on her.

When the decoration of Hailan Garden was on the right track, Lu Heng gradually let go and let Jiu'er take care of Gu Hailan Garden instead of him.He himself put more thoughts on it, and put it on the Taoist priest Gao Tongyuan of Baiyun Temple.

Going to Baiyun Temple that day, Gao Tongyuan happened to be there.

Gao Tongyuan was very satisfied with Lu Heng running to him every three days, every time it was a gift of several hundred taels of silver, regardless of whether he was there or not.

There is a lot of kindness between the words.

He said, "I've been in the palace these days, telling the queen mother how to maintain health. There are also rumors in the palace about Hailan Garden. Eunuch Zhang, who is under Director Li, also said that he would teach you a lesson, but I stopped him."

Then the voice changed: "But if you want to open the Hailan Garden well, you have to make some representations for Eunuch Zhang."

It means pointing.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Uncle Shi said yes. But although I know Eunuch Zhang, but I don't have a way, what can I do?"

Gao Tongyuan smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter. Tonight, Eunuch Zhang hosted a banquet for Director Li, and he also invited me. I'll take you there later, you should be more conspicuous. Director Li and Eunuch Zhang are both here. It's in your interest to have a relationship between one and two."

Lu Heng was overjoyed: "Thank you for your help!"

Then he got up and said, "So, I'll go back and prepare."

Gao Tongyuan waved his hand: "Go quickly. Remember, the courtesy can't be taken lightly!"

When Lu Heng returned home, he searched through the property, picked and picked out two items, and took another 3 taels of silver bills to put them on.

The two objects, one is a jade bi with suet and white jade, and the other is a whistle with a rhino horn.

These two items were all found by the shaman's Black Dragon Cave. At the beginning, he searched a lot, but Lu Heng only picked a few items, and most of them were distributed to those who went out of business.

The things of Shaman's lair are not simple.Most of the jade bi was given to the shaman by a certain generation of Tartar emperors. As for the rhino horn whistle, it seemed to be an item for adjusting Costin.

Of course it wasn't the fetish Haidongqing enshrined by the shamanism, but the ordinary Haidongqing.Bannermen have the custom of adjusting and raising costin.

The whistle made of rhino horn is also a rare treasure.

These two are old objects, at least more than a hundred years old, and they are gifts for Li Lianying and Eunuch Zhang, in addition to 1 taels of silver notes for each.The extra 1 taels was for Gao Dongyuan.

Once the relationship here is established, the news channel in the palace will be opened.This is important.

So money doesn't matter.

After taking a sandalwood box and packing it, Lu Heng set off again and went to Baiyun Temple.

Seeing Gao Dongyuan again, Lu Heng stuffed him with 1 taels of silver notes, and said, "Uncle Master supports me, and I can't repay you for it. I just want some yellow and white things to show my heart."

Gao Tongyuan was of course satisfied.

Before evening, a carriage came to Baiyun Temple.Lu Heng followed Gao Tongyuan to Eunuch Zhang's mansion.

At this time, the eunuch Eunuch Zhang's mansion was already brightly lit.

Eunuch Zhang speaks to people justly.This man was in his forties, with a burly stature, a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick chevron on his mouth.

"Kung Pao, this time I spent a lot of energy to invite Director Li, you must seize the opportunity."

The man hurriedly cupped his hands: "Father-in-law treats me like this, teach me what to do in return!"

An intriguing expression.

Eunuch Zhang waved his hand with a smile: "We have known each other for so many years, you help me, I help you, it has long been inseparable. This time, it really annoyed the queen mother. Fortunately, you woke up early, Li Zhongtang is also for you. Speaking, the queen mother just pressed it and didn't move."

He added, "Director Li is a popular person in front of the Queen Mother. As long as you get rid of him, things will be easy."

The person called Gongbao nodded: "Elder-in-law is right. I have prepared 10 taels of silver notes, some calligraphy and paintings, and jade wares this time. I don't know if I can satisfy Director Li."

Zhang Gonggong said: "Silver bills are trivial matters, as are calligraphy, painting, and jade articles. We are errands in the palace, and that's not bad. It's just icing on the cake. You just need to remember that you are sincere and loyal to the Queen Mother, and Eunuch Li will naturally speak for you."

The man named Gongbao laughed, and said with a sense of complacency, "Father-in-law is very right. My, Yuan Gongbao's allegiance is the Queen Mother, and she will not change until death!"

"That's right!" Eunuch Zhang laughed.

Then he said, "This time I also invited Daoist Gao Tongyuan from Baiyun Temple. When he comes, you should be close."

When Yuan Gongbao heard this, he wondered, "But that high goddess who is good at health preservation and is famous in the capital?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, it's him."

Said: "Don't look down on him because he is a Taoist priest. He has real skills. Otherwise, the Queen Mother will not treat him differently, and Director Li will not call him a brother. There are many powerful people in the capital, and it is impossible to invite him. Yes. It's also good for you to befriend him."

Yuan Gongbao said, "He has a lot of friends!"

"That's right." Eunuch Zhang said, "If you don't get along well with someone like him, don't offend him, or you might stumble somewhere, and if you fall, you won't know whose hands and feet are."
