Noble First Daughter-in-law

"Master Pei!"

The voice interrupted him all of a sudden, and said coldly: "We have agreed from the beginning, don't ask, I won't answer. If you must pursue this, then I will not do this business."

"..."

"After all, 1000 taels is not as important as my life."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingyuan immediately said: "Okay, I won't ask."

Only then did the other party ease his tone: "Then, you agreed to 1000 taels of silver?"

"..."

Pei Xingyuan frowned slightly at this time.

Although I have made preparations for a long time and know what my purpose is for doing this, no matter Yu Wenye or Shen Wuzheng, they all have four words for this plan - no matter the cost, if we don't find out who is hiding behind, we will never The people who don't show off the mountains and dews, but control their lives everywhere, not to mention Yu Wenye's life is in danger, the situation of those people who are obviously connected with Yu Wenye will be even more difficult in the future.

After all, everyone knows that the eradication of the plague this time is related to the foundation of the country in the future.

It also implicated the lives of everyone in the court.

It's just, 1000 taels of silver...

This is indeed not a small sum, even if it is the children of these aristocratic families, it is not easy to get it, and the time limit is today, if he agrees at this moment, the time to go back and make up the number is only half a day .

but--

If it is said that they were a little wary of each other in the previous contacts in the city, then this time the opponent's lion opened his mouth, it is certain that he is determined to get this money.

This is what they were looking forward to, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Thinking of this, Pei Xingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire second floor of the restaurant became quiet again, but the atmosphere was no longer dull, but there was a sense of relief that a long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, but Pei Xingyuan immediately felt an invisible boulder pressing on his heart.The next moment, I heard the person in the private room behind say: "Then, at midnight tonight, you come to the north gate of Dongshi alone."

After finishing speaking, Pei Xingyuan heard the chair move from behind, it was the voice of the man getting up and preparing to leave.

He immediately said, "Wait, I have one more condition."

The other party stopped: "What conditions?"

Pei Xingyuan said: "I will follow you to the warehouse where your medicine is stored."

"..."

The other party immediately became quiet, silent for a while, and said in a strange tone: "Are you going to Yu—our warehouse? What do you want to do?"

Pei Xingyuan said: "You let me go alone, are you still worried that I will snatch it?"

"..."

"I just want to make sure that what I get is the real medicine."

"..."

"If you just find a place to pile up some withered grass and leaves for me, it's useless for me to take it back. Wouldn't it be the same as today, being torn apart by those violent/civilian labor?"

"..."

"I'm going to your warehouse, and I can pick from there, as long as the number matches. This way, you won't suffer, and I can feel at ease, how about it?"

The other party was silent for a while.

Although Pei Xingyuan's request was reasonable, it was somewhat excessive, but there was no sense of entanglement and anxiety in the air. Instead, he could faintly hear the other party let out a sigh of relief.

Pei Xingyuan was wondering, when he heard the other party say: "Okay, I promise you."

"..."

"Tonight, I'll take you to—our warehouse."

Pei Xingyuan was overjoyed: "It's a deal!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the bead curtain crackling sounded from the private room behind him. Pei Xingyuan paused for a moment, and then went out to take a look. He only had time to see Jin Daji's thin figure like a monkey disappearing at the stairs. voice: "Guest, go slowly!"

The sound of footsteps has gone away.

Pei Xingyuan's eyes sank slightly, and he saw the waiter in the shop stomping up to the second floor, holding a plate of dishes in his hand, and bringing them to him with a smile: "Young master, wait a minute, the kitchen is already ready, and the rest The food will be served immediately."

While talking, he put the dishes on the table.

But Pei Xingyuan didn't sit down to eat, but put down a piece of silver instead: "I won't eat the food—the money is here, you can figure it out."

After speaking, he turned to go out.

"Hey?"

The waiter in the shop was stunned, and hurried to follow: "What's the matter, my lord, is there a place where the reception is not good in this small shop?"

Pei Xingyuan walked towards the stairs and said, "I have something urgent."

After finishing speaking, he stopped again, looked at the eager shop waiter, and habitually took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve as a reward, but when he was about to give it out, he stopped suddenly, thought for a while, and felt distressed. Put the silver back, took out a few pennies and handed it to the shop waiter: "Your reward."

After speaking, he hurried downstairs.

Looking at his back, and then lowered his head to look at the reward money in his hand and the money for food and drinks on the table, the waiter in the shop was a little puzzled, but he also laughed.I haven't received any money in the past few days, even if I only got a few pennies today, it's good, but I feel strange that this person is still urging the kitchen after ordering food and wine, but when the food and wine are delivered, he doesn't move a chopstick.

This is probably the quirk of these rich people.

In fact, what is even more strange is that the guest in the elegant room next door to the young master just now looks like an ordinary person in short clothes. Time, and from beginning to end, there was a smile on his face.

That smile is like—

like-

Like a hunter watching the stupid prey walk into his trap.

The waiter shuddered inexplicably.

Immediately shaking his head again, he muttered to himself: "It has nothing to do with me, what do you care about? You should go to the kitchen to remove the dishes, and you can save some money on firewood and oil."

After finishing speaking, he put away the silver on the table and went downstairs.

"You guys, what are you going to do?"

The pot of medicine on the stove had already begun to boil, and the puffed out steam filled the eyes of the two people.

Su Qinglan repeated the question again, although her tone was not harsh, and even the milky white steam made her eyes look more gentle, but there was a bit of eagerness in the gentleness.

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at her and remained silent.

Su Qinglan looked down at the burden she had brought again, and said, "Although I took out all my family's wealth, I figured it out very clearly that the medicines needed for the patients here would not last for a few days at all. "

"..."

"But today, it's the eighth day, and I still have medicine in my luggage."

"..."

"I've also guessed that maybe other people are secretly giving me medicine. For example, at Yanzuofang, I heard that they donate medicine without taking a cent. There must be enough medicine."

"..."

"However, their people can't enter Changlefang; moreover, I haven't left here in the past few days, only when I take a nap at night, people can take advantage of it."

"..."

"So, the person who delivered the medicine to my bag must be someone from Changlefang."

"..."

"In Changle Workshop, there is only one person who has medicine—"

Speaking of this, Su Qinglan's eyes became more anxious, and she said softly: "Young Madam, you are not here to make money, are you?"

"..."

"You, you, Mr. Pei, and maybe the general, what are you going to do?"

Shang Ruyi still didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly.

At this moment, Tuscher's panicked shout suddenly sounded outside: "Hey, you, what's the matter with you?"

The two were startled, Su Qinglan didn't bother to ask any more questions, she hurriedly got up and ran out, Shang Ruyi also followed, and saw Tusheer squatting by the side of a stable, supporting a person, while taking pictures He shouted eagerly on his back: "You, are you okay? Are you better?"

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be that Jiang Yu.

His face was pale, his eyes were red, he opened his mouth to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, he could only make a roaring sound, and his chest was as stiff as iron, and he couldn't even stretch it.

Seeing him like this, Shang Ruyi was also startled: "What's going on?"

Tusheer said anxiously: "I just let him drink the medicine, but he only drank half of it. He suddenly became like this, and I don't know."

Su Qinglan immediately stepped forward, knelt down and said, "It's because the phlegm is blocking the heart."

"what?"

Tusheer was taken aback, but before she could react, Su Qinglan had already squatted down, wiped his back from the waist up with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to his chest, pressing on several acupuncture points and rubbing vigorously , and then slapped the back violently.

Hearing the sound of "wow", Jiang Yu immediately spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and suddenly coughed violently.

Tusheer hurried forward and said, "Mister, are you feeling better now?"

That Jiang Yu coughed for a long time, his face was red from coughing, but he relaxed a lot, he only waved his hand, and said weakly: "I, I'm fine..."

As he spoke, he laughed again: "I'm old and useless."

Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at Su Qinglan again, only to see the latter said with a solemn expression: "The more serious patients here are elderly people who have many old diseases in their bodies. Suffering from the plague, heart, The lungs and spleen will be damaged, and old diseases will resurface, and even if the plague is cured, they will be dragged down by these diseases."

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Yu again and said, "Old man, you usually like to eat wine and meat, so your situation is the most serious."

That Jiang Yu just wandered through the gate of hell, but when he heard this, he blushed again, and said with a smile: "I, I can't part with wine and meat."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Su Qinglan said: "No matter what, you have to eat less."

"..."

"In short, your current condition is quite serious. I need to prepare some other medicines for you and take them together to relieve your current symptoms."

That Jiang Yu immediately said: "I, I actually have medicine at home."

As he said that, he said with some frustration: "It's a pity that my son didn't come back when he went out to do errands, otherwise, he would have sent it."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise behind them.

Someone was shouting: "Who is it? Don't trespass on Changle Square!"
