Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

After accepting the gift, leaving the meal, and talking for a while, and drinking a cup of tea, Mrs. Bai watched the two children leave.

She wanted to send it to the gate, but it was windy and rainy, the two of them refused to let it go, and the nanny was also worried about the old lady. After all, she was old, so she didn't want to cause trouble for the younger generation, so she just sent it to the gate.

When they came back, the little maids were helpless at the ceremony that almost occupied half of the hall, and their faces were full of sadness.

Opening the boxes one by one, the old lady suddenly became one head and two big, damn cheap, hell Jiangnan specialties... The lustrous jade ruyi, the silky and cool ice silkworm brocade, some ingenious gadgets made of rare materials, There are also some tea leaves that can't be seen at once but are packed in small jade jars...

Most of the tea leaves on the market are wrapped in oiled paper into a round cake shape, but this... If it's not a famous tea, then it's not like buying a bunch of tea for a pearl?The nanny stared behind her with straight eyes, opened her mouth several times, still didn't know how to react to appear more "experienced in the world", after a long while, she sighed, "It is said that the Ji family controls half of the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. , the wealth is incomparable to the country... It is really rich."

The old lady shook her head and laughed, "Here, it's probably these tricks that she prepared for me. The one who is really generous with this is Achuna... I heard that he has done a lot of business over the years, see It does look like that."

He didn't understand tea in his early years, and drinking tea was like a cow's drink. The old guy joked every time, saying that even the best tea is a waste, so these teas, which are extremely expensive at first sight, must not have been prepared by that guy.And these brocade jade calligraphy and paintings, at their age, they are probably already underestimated.

On the contrary, the Shangguan family said that they offended the imperial power and fled Yanjing to live in the south of the Yangtze River. Now it seems that half of the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is in the Ji family, and the third is in Shangguan. It is hard to say how the situation is.

It's just...she sighed softly, and asked someone to cover a room full of boxes, register them all, and then move them to her small warehouse for safe storage.The gift is too heavy for her to accept. When that girl gets married, add some more and send it as a dowry addition.

……

When I got back to the mansion, I saw Ji Feng moved a small table and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke under the corridor. It really looked like that. He was obviously a smart and clever child who could learn everything quickly. But on the way of practicing calligraphy, there is no progress at all.Ji Wuyan bent down to look, and was about to make a final rescue, but Ji Feng spoke first, "Girl, Sister Shen came just now and said she was looking for you, she looks very anxious."

Shen Luoxin?Ji Wuyan didn't look at those ghostly symbols anymore, "What do you know?"

Ji Feng shook his head, bit his pen and frowned for a long while, before saying, "It seems to be saying something about 'grabbing a living'... It said it was for Grandpa Chen's legs, and it said that many shops have disappeared, which are obviously common medicinal materials ..."

Ordinary herbs... for legs...

My heart tightened, and I immediately picked up the oil-paper umbrella that was still dripping and walked outside. While walking, I told Ji Feng, "It's raining heavily, I have to write in the house."

Ji Feng nodded in agreement, very well-behaved, in front of him carrying the paper that was a bit difficult for him, he moved into the room step by step, but bit the pen but did not write a single word, the girl left before leaving. The look on her face...as if something big is about to happen.Grandpa Chen's legs have been with him for many years, and he often fell ill when he was in Zhuangzi, so this time he said that he wanted to cure his legs. When I heard that there was a problem, I was naturally anxious, but no matter how smart he was, he was still young, biting the pen and racking his brains, but he couldn't think of a solution. When he looked up, he saw Cen Yan approaching, and the wolf hair pen in his hand Yidou ran out, "Brother Cen Yan, accompany me to a place!"

Even when the fire was burning, he still did not forget the warning that he could not go to the streets alone.

Ji Feng was ambiguous, and Ji Wuyan went to Mr. Chen's yard to ask, and found out that the medicinal material that many shops have lost is "Qianghuo", which is a very common thing, so Mr. Chen never prepares too much on weekdays. .Shen Luoxin went to buy it today, and went to several shops, but they all said they were gone, and it just so happened that they were all sold out yesterday.Ask again but don't know at all.

Probably there was an old shopkeeper, it was not easy to see the little girl's wet body, so he revealed a little tone, saying that in Yanjing City, there is only one pharmacy that sells Qianghuo, Muzi pharmacy.

Shen Luoxin took the ginger soup handed over by the maid, blew it, drank it in one gulp, then continued to wipe her wet hair, and said while wiping, "I haven't asked about the Muzi pharmacy yet, I only asked Lu Yuan Looking at it from a distance, the small shop has a curtain hanging down, so I can't see the inside, but I always feel that this matter is really strange, and I want to come back and discuss it with you before going...Muzi, Muzi, isn't the word Li! I I heard that You Lingxi had a bad time with you two days ago, maybe she was playing tricks behind your back again. If that's the case..."

If so, there must be an ambush in that Muzi medicine shop.

Mr. Chen has obviously backed off for the two girls, "I'm not in a hurry for these two days. I'll see in a few days. Maybe some of these out-of-stock shops have arrived. Girl, I really don't know. Urgent, I have survived these years, even if I go back to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be fine."

Ji Wuyan shook his head, with no expression on his face, "The letter of war has been issued, and the trap has been set. Even if I avoid it this time, they must have a follow-up. Although I don't know where I got it from." news, but obviously...you can't escape just by hiding." What she didn't say was, Muzi, Muzi, Muzi is Li, and Shen Luoxin only thought of You Lingxi, but didn't know that there was another person in the royal family who was eyeing them. ——Li Yuqi.

If it was really Li Yuqi, since he had set up such a situation to wait for the emperor to enter the urn, then during this period of time, no new Qianghuo would arrive in the medicine shops in the entire Yanjing City.

The dignified prince, with his back to the left, he... can do it, and he is probably the only one among the heirs of the Li family who can do it.

"Then let's not treat it!" Old Chen made a final decision.

But no one listened.

After wiping her hair, Shen Luoxin put down the cloth towel in her hand, and asked later, "I have to use this? Is there no substitute?"

Chen Lao shook his head silently, and was about to reiterate that he would die, but was robbed by You Lingxi, "Left and right are common things, why don't we go out of the city to buy them? She can't control all the Qianghuo in nearby towns, right? Even if she is the princess, she doesn't have that much power... Before dinner, I took Cen Yan and sneaked out of the city, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't buy Qianghuo today!"
