Noble First Daughter-in-law

All sold out?

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and asked again: "So, were the medicinal materials bought from your family loaded in that carriage just now?"

The shop owner smiled and waved his hands and said, "It is said that the small shop is running out of stock, so how can there be so many?"

"That is--"

"It looks like they bought it from somewhere else, like talc herb."

Shang Ruyi frowned again when she heard that, the shopkeeper looked at her, then rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I wonder what this lady wants to buy?"

Shang Ruyi originally wanted to go to a larger pharmacy to buy things, but since she had inquired here for a long time, she was embarrassed to return empty-handed, so she smiled and said, "Excuse me, I want half a catty of jujube kernels, three taels of Schisandra, one tael Danshen."

The owner of the shop hastily and courteously said: "Yes, the villain is going to prepare for Madam."

After saying that, he ran back, and after a while, he came out with three packs of already wrapped medicinal materials. Tusheer took them and gave him money, and then accompanied Shang Ruyi back to the carriage.

Chang Wan said: "Young Madam, are we going home?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and said, "No, let's go to the Longevity Pharmacy."

Tu She'er and Chang Wan looked at each other, and they were very puzzled—Shang Ruyi just bought medicine at that small pharmacy, so why go to Changsheng pharmacy?
Although he was puzzled, he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only order the driver to drive the car, and the two of them continued to follow the car. After walking for less than a stick of incense, they arrived at the Longevity Medicine Store, which was indeed more spacious than the small medicine store just now. , It is also more decent to dress when going to and from the doctor to buy medicine.

As soon as he saw a carriage parked at the door, a young man came forward to greet him immediately.

The young man smiled and said, "I don't know what this lady needs to buy?"

Shang Ruyi didn't get out of the car, but opened the curtains, and ordered the boy to pack some more medicinal materials that he had bought before, but the dosage was more than what he bought at the small pharmacy just now. Turning around and going to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, Shang Ruyi stopped him again and said, "Give me another two taels of magnolia bark and two taels of herb."

The young man was obviously an apprentice in the medicine shop, and when he heard the names of the medicinal materials, he smiled and said: "The madam bought the wild jujube seed medicines, presumably there are people in the house who can't sleep, and need to calm their nerves; , is used to treat fever and epidemic diseases, do you have such patients in the house?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Not really, it's just that the weather is hot, so prepare first."

The young man smiled and said: "Madam, please forgive me, the first few medicinal materials are still available, but the shop has just estimated the two medicinal materials Magnolia Cangzhu."

"...?"

Shang Ruyi frowned.

Sold out again.

And just now.

She thought for a while and asked, "Did someone come to buy it in a carriage just now?"

The little guy smiled and said: "Exactly. It's strange to say that although the weather is hot, some people will prepare these medicinal materials early to prevent fever, but now it's already August and a half, and it won't be hot any longer. I don’t know why people still come to buy so many medicines, and it’s still rare for them to buy up all the medicines in the store. Our boss originally wanted to keep some for emergencies, but the price offered by the other party Gao, even the last bit of medicine residue has been taken away."

"..."

"So, please forgive me, madam."

"..."

Naturally, Shang Ruyi would not embarrass such a young man, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, just give me the few herbs you have."

"Yes."

The young man agreed and went, and after a while, Tusheer took the medicinal materials, put them away and gave the money, then turned around and asked Shang Ruyi, "Miss, are you going home now?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's walk along this street for a while."

Tu She'er and Chang Wan didn't know what she was going to do, but they could only follow obediently. The carriage walked along the long street for a while, and then arrived at the door of a drug store. Shang Ruyi asked Tu She'er to ask, but it was still just Magnolia officinalis and herb are sold out, and talc is gone.

I went to two more pharmacies, and it was the same.

Even Tusheer felt strange, and couldn't help asking: "It's strange, why are all these medicines sold out after asking so many pharmacies, are they so in short supply?"

Chang Wan also asked: "Young Madam, what are we buying these medicines for?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head: "Nothing to do, just ask."

As she said that, she looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go back."

So the coachman drove the carriage back again, and Shang Ruyi sat swaying in the carriage along the way, and she didn't sleep for a while last night, so she fell asleep not long after, but the tension in her mind was tense. A string made it difficult for her to sleep again.

Although I only went to a few medicine shops on this street, they were all big and small. Presumably, this should be the case in the medicine shops in the entire Daxing City-the medicines such as talc, Magnolia officinalis and Cang Zhu were all sold out.

Someone is collecting these medicinal materials.

Speaking of it, this is just a business in the market, where anyone buys it, someone else sells it, and it has nothing to do with her, besides, these medicines are not available to their family.

It's just that, for some reason, there is always an unspeakable weirdness in my heart.

Especially just now, that flash of light.

It was an indescribable, almost eerie, familiarity.

Just when she was full of doubts, the carriage had already returned to the Duke's Mansion. Chang Wan went to get the few packs of medicine and put them in the warehouse. Come to report, the Duke and the two young masters have already returned to the residence.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurried inside.

Just when they walked to the long corridor that was still some distance away from their courtyard, they saw Mu Xian coming out from inside, with a faint solemn look on his face, as if he was in a trance, until Shang Ruyi came to the front He just came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Shang Ruyi looking at him with a smile, "What are you thinking, you don't even look at the road?"

Mu Xian hastily cupped his hands and saluted: "Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi said: "Didn't Feng Chen ask you to settle the group of people brought back from Wanggangzhai outside the city, why did you come back so soon?"

Mu Xiandao: "The people have been resettled, and the reason for rushing back is—"

When he said this, his expression became more serious, and he said softly: "Second Young Master is about to go out."

"Going out?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Fufeng?"

Mu Xian nodded.

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised. Last night at the family banquet, she and Yu Wenye cooperated like that to win him the chance to send troops to Fufeng, but in the end, Yu Wenzhen's understatement of a few words overshadowed it. He only said that we will discuss this matter again at the court meeting today. ——As for the court meeting to discuss this matter, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than at the family dinner last night.After all, compared to the previous days when Yu Wenye rescued himself when he went south to the river, it hardly had any impact on the court, but Yu Wenzhen took down Daxing City without a single soldier, but it was an extraordinary feat in the eyes of the world. Such a credit Now, it is almost self-evident who the ministers in the DPRK will favor more.

Therefore, Shang Ruyi didn't have much hope for who would send troops.

Unexpectedly, after a court meeting, Yu Wenye was settled!
She was surprised and happy, but she also had more doubts, and asked, "Why did it get settled so quickly? Do all the ministers in the court agree with Feng Chen's sending troops?"
