businesswoman's wife

Because she met Su Jiang, An Chengshao didn't go there, but Xu Xiuyi asked someone to send a message, and it was okay to come. As for the child in her womb, she naturally wanted to discuss with An Cheng less, and thought about the next day. Say it again.

How do you know that this is really a lot of things? She didn't wake up the next day, and bad news came from the old lady's room. It wasn't that the old lady of the Su family died, but the old lady's maid, Yingbi last night Hanged.

This can be regarded as a big event, especially when Su Jinyu is about to get married.

Yingbi hanged herself and was discovered in the morning. When she found out, she died early. There was a life in this house, but the old lady of the Su family meant that she would not be allowed to report to the officials.

First, this is an unfortunate thing. As we all know, it will collide with Su Jinyu's marriage. If the marriage with the household family is not good, it will be Huang, and the Su family has been killed one after another. Which one is willing to marry their family.

The old lady attached great importance to this marriage with the Ministry of Household, and naturally she was reluctant to publicize the matter of Yingbi's hanging.

The second is that Yingbi left a suicide note. The meaning in the suicide note is that she doesn't want to live anymore, she feels that life is boring, so she wants to go to the paradise, the handwriting is also Yingbi's, it's obviously Yingbi herself Can't think of it, no one hurt her.

Although Xu Xiuyi was quite surprised that Yingbi suddenly hanged herself, after seeing the suicide note and comparing the handwriting, she didn't think about it anymore.

Yingbi was bought by the master of the Su family when he was doing business in other provinces. He was only five years old when he bought it. Originally, he had been serving Su Yalan. Later, when Su Yalan entered the palace, Yingbi went to the old lady's house to serve her and be a second-class. maid.

Later, the old lady's most annoying maid, Mingxuan, asked Su Jinyu to spoil it. Mingxuan insisted on reporting to the officials. In order to cover her ugliness, the old lady sent Mingxuan to the country and asked someone to take care of her, but Yingbi naturally It also took Ming Xuan's position and became the big maid beside the old lady.

As far as Yingbi is concerned, the Su family is her only home. She is ruthless and without reason. Naturally, the burial is also handled by the Su family.

The old lady read that Yingbi had been in the Su family for all these years, and asked Xu Xiuyi to give Yingbi a nanmu coffin. .

For two days in a row, Xu Xiuyi was in charge of Luo Yingbi's burial. On the third day, she was finally free. She hurriedly wanted to find An Chengshao, but she met an acquaintance at the gate of An's house - Qin Yan.

Along with him, there was an old man in his sixties. The two of them had just got off the carriage when Xu Xiuyi flashed aside. The two of them did not see Xu Xiuyi and went into the alley.

Qin Yan came again.

Xu Xiuyi's brows tensed, and she looked at Qin Yan's arm subconsciously. She wears less clothes in summer. On her white wrist, she wears a radiant jade bracelet. The jade bracelet is more than ordinary jade bracelets. To be wide, it seems to be deliberately blocking something.

It must be impossible to go today. Xu Xiuyi saw Qin Yan knocking on the door at the entrance of the alley, and Shaoqing Qin Xu came to open the door, and then An Chengshao also came out, standing at the door and saluting the old man with a very respectful attitude, Xu Xiuyi thought, Probably this person is the benefactor of An Chengshao's mouth, Qin Yan and Qin Xu's father.

Hand, caressing the lower abdomen, this child came at an inappropriate time, and now I don't have the time to tell An Chengshao what to do when she is alone, and agreed with An Chengshao to stay five miles outside the city every Friday There is only a few more days left to wait for the meeting at the booth. Counting the days, today is 21, and there are still four days left.

Xu Xiuyi left from Anfu, but did not go back immediately, but went to the inn to see Su Jiang's. Su Jiang's had been staying in the inn for the past few days and did not go home. She was quite excited to see Xu Xiuyi.

"Xiuyi, you've come, I've been waiting for you."

"What's the matter, second sister-in-law?"

"Your second brother came to the inn to see me. Please ask me to go back. If you are low-key, I will not go back. I will teach him a lesson and ask him to help that little bitch to humiliate me."

"Oh?" Xu Xiuyi heard the words, congratulated first, and then took Su Jiang's hand, "Second brother probably knows it's wrong, second sister-in-law, you just have a hundred hearts, mother doesn't agree, second brother doesn't. The courage to leave you, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"I said something bad. Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. The reason why second brother came to beg you to go back is because he thinks it's not good to talk about family scandals. He is a businessman and wants face, so..."

Xu Xiuyi observed Su Jiang's face and paused for a moment.

Su Jiang sighed deeply: "What's wrong with me? You always help me like that. If it wasn't for you on the street that day, I might have been humiliated. Hey, I also know very clearly in my heart, you The second brother told me to go back not because of repentance, but because he felt that I had lost his person."

"Second sister-in-law, second brother has been very good to you in the past. I have seen it all these days when I married into the Su family. The reason why he is like this is mostly that Yuan Shishi is chewing his tongue, and Yuan Shishi is relying on himself. Having given birth to a son, and relying on his appearance and youth, he used all kinds of coquettish tricks to confuse the second brother. The time I saw her, I knew that second sister-in-law, you are not the opponent of that coquettish child at all."

Speaking of this, Su Jiang's anger was not at all, and one after another, he pulled out the affairs of Yuan Shishi to Xu Xiuyi.

Xu Xiuyi patiently listened to the trivial resentment, and finally looked at Su Jiang with a distressed face, and said: "So I said that you can't fight her second sister-in-law at all. From what I see, that second sister-in-law is of course. If you want to go back, it's your home, if you don't go back, it won't just fulfill her wish."

"Yes, you are right."

"But as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. One day with her Yuan Shishi in that family, you will not be able to live in peace for one day, second sister-in-law, and the second brother will lose his soul in one day. In my opinion, it's better like this..."

Xu Xiuyi came close to Su Jiang's ear and whispered a few words. Su Jiang's face was slightly shocked, and then she nodded vigorously: "It's a good way, but you shouldn't teach her a lesson."

"Second sister-in-law, let me remind you again, that Yuan Shishi is a savage character, second sister-in-law, you should not confront her head-on, second sister-in-law, you are a young lady from aristocrats, how have you ever scolded her, you will only call her mad in vain Die, so, if she says anything, you give her a cold look and say where is the dog barking, I will keep her so that it will madden her."

"Yes, I just take her too seriously."

"If people don't commit me, I don't commit crimes. She robbed the second sister-in-law's man, abused the second sister-in-law's child, and wanted to squeeze out the second sister-in-law's position. It's not an exaggeration for such a woman to cut the grass and eradicate the future troubles forever, but murder is a crime after all, and also If you take advantage of her, second sister-in-law, you should do as I say first, and keep the second brother grumpy against her, so it is impossible to spoil her so much."

Su Jiang nodded, grateful to Xu Xiuyi, and sincerely regarded Xu Xiuyi as her own.

Xu Xiuyi said a few words to Su Jiang's family, nothing more than a few words of vain and Wei She. After leaving the inn, she went to Baoningtang after the noon. There was little business, and the door was too small. She originally planned to do it with one fell swoop. The counterattack turned out to be an accident, the delivery of the requested goods was destroyed, and her plan also fell through.

However, to deal with Su Jinyi, she still has other ways.

When she got to the counter, she called everyone to the account room, and then ordered: "The summer solstice, the weather is hot, and the traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and dispelling heat is in season, Ah Fu, bring a pen and paper, and I will write a few recipes, from From tomorrow onwards, tell everyone to cheer up and have work to do."

pharmacy.

Everyone thought that Xu Xiuyi knew nothing about medicine, but she didn't expect that she would write prescriptions.

Everyone was skeptical, especially the two doctors in the hall.

"Xiuyi, what pharmacy do you want to write about?"

“Summer drink.”

Summer drink.

As the name suggests, it is the most suitable soup for summer.

She was a doctor in her previous life, even if she was a surgeon, but Xu Xiuyi, who grew up in Guangdong, was no stranger to herbal tea, and her mother was a first-class expert in making herbal tea, and she was familiar with several herbal tea recipes. .

With a few strokes, the five herbal tea houses were opened in an instant. The herbs above were all the herbs that Xu Xiuyi did not purchase in large quantities last time. Several of them, Chen San, felt that if they couldn’t sell all of them before winter, they would be thrown away in mold. dropped.

Su Jinye also came over and glanced at the pharmacy, still a little suspicious.

After all, he is skilled in medicine and has opened countless pharmacies. He still can't believe Xu Xiuyi's bold idea of ​​cutting the medicine into tea and drinking it. I wonder who would drink medicine as tea if there is no disease or pain. This is not a sweet soup to replenish water.

There are five pharmacies, and the first one is called Guiling Paste, which he has never heard of.

"8 taels of tortoise shell, 2 taels of raw ground, 2 taels of silver flower, 2 taels of tuckahoe, 2 taels of herbal tea, 8 taels of forsythia, 1 tael of chicken bone grass, 5 taels of dandelion, 8 taels of herbal medicine, 5 taels of white ringworm skin, windproof 5 coins, 5 coins for nepeta, 5 coins for chamomile flowers, 5 coins for money grass."

As he read, he frowned: "Xiuyi, what is this?"

"I wrote it, Turtle Cream."

The academic doctor Yi Kexin also came over and said: "Turtle shell, nourishing yin and kidney, nourishing blood and nourishing body; Shengdi, clearing heat and cooling blood, nourishing yin and promoting fluid; Yinhua, clearing heat and detoxifying; Tuckahoe, dehumidifying and detoxifying, clearing joints ; Herbal tea grass, clearing away heat and detoxifying; Forsythia, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling carbuncle and dissipating knots; Jigucao, clearing heat and removing dampness, soothing liver and relieving pain; Dandelion, clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and diuresis; Atractylodes Rhizoma, drying dampness and strengthening spleen, sweating and relieving external appearance; White ringworm skin, clearing away heat and dehumidification, expelling wind and detoxifying; anti-wind, dispersing wind and relieving external appearance, expelling wind and relieving pain; Nepeta, dispersing wind and relieving external appearance, dispelling wind and relieving pain; money grass, clearing away heat and invigorating water and drenching stranguria. Good prescription, according to pharmacological properties , this medicinal material, nourishes yin, clears heat and detoxifies, removes damp heat, sores, and acne. It is definitely a good recipe.”

The doctor has said it well, and others are naturally convinced. Only Su Jinye is a serious person, and he still thinks that such an unheard of recipe should not be tried rashly.

Xu Xiuyi probably saw what Su Jinye was thinking, and said that it is better to do it, and by the way, he taught the medicinal soup how to make the tortoise paste.

So I took the big guy to the pharmacy in the backyard for decoction, and asked a little guy to weigh all the herbs she wanted. She brewed it step by step and explained it step by step.

When the bowls of turtle ointment with a dark medicinal scent came out, no one dared to try it. Xu Xiuyi knew that people would be afraid of new things, so she took a spoon, took a bowl, and scooped it into her mouth. .

Everyone looked at her, she took a bite and looked at everyone: "This medicine is cold in nature, it is not advisable to eat more, but as Dr. Yi said, this medicine clears heat and reduces fire, what I do may not be the best, because turtle shells do not have Stew it for five hours beforehand, if you do it, first stew the turtle shell for five hours."

After speaking, he greeted everyone: "I will say this, if anyone gets sick from eating, I will pay for compensation."

When everyone heard this, they laughed, and they trusted her after all. Even if this dark and strange thing looked a little weird, they all took a bowl and ate it.

It's bitter, but it's only a third of the bitterness of medicine.

Xu Xiuyi knew it, and said, "Just add honey, cut it into small pieces, mix it well, and eat it. It tastes the best, just like jelly."

Speaking of jelly, this black thing really looks like black jelly, and everyone is no longer so careful.

Xu Xiuyi added: "The rest of the recipes are not so troublesome, they are just ordinary decoctions. You all know better than me, and you can make them all. We will try them first. If everyone agrees that it is okay, then this is what we must do. Killing skills, unique weapons, the security hall thought that if the price of medicines was reduced to [-]%, we would not be able to sell medicines. Pharmacies can not only sell medicinal materials, but also ordinary bowls of water. As long as we have ideas, we can also sell gold. the price, of course…”

She joked: "That's what profiteers did, that's not right, I hope that our Baoningtang will operate honestly and use our strength to defeat Baoningtang. I will come back to the store the day after tomorrow. This secret recipe is everyone's wealth. If you make money, I will Please have a big meal."

"Oh!" The inner hall was full of hilarity. For the first time in a few days, the Baoningtang was so cheerful. The laughter spread through the windows to the Baoningtang next door.

In the accountant of Bao Ningtang, Lou Yong, Wang Kai and Su Jinyi were reconciling the accounts and splitting the money. Lou Yong laughed when he heard Bao Ningtang's laughter.

"This group of people can really laugh, and they are going to drink the northwest wind soon."

Wang Kai touched his smooth chin, and his eyes were a bit lewd: "I think I saw the third grandmother of the Su family go in."

Su Jinyi is in a very bad mood at the moment. This is the first time after the opening of the Baoantang. Lou Yong and Wang Kai just paid the money. Usually, he doesn't even come to the store, and he keeps busy. As a result, Lou Yong and Wang Kai deducted the cost of medicinal materials for the silver money earned in the first month, and the remaining money was divided equally, and he did not even get one of the five shares.

Lou Yong and Wang Kai, his brain was really hot before he thought of cooperating with these two rape and murderers.

Since it is a security hall opened together, it is true that Lou Yong and Wang Kai came out with the medicinal materials, but they took all the medicinal materials.

That is to say, if he finds a drug dealer to buy medicine by himself, he only needs to pay [-] cents at most, and if he earns [-] points, he can still make a profit of [-] points.

But Lou Yong and Wang Kai, now they don't give him a cent, and the two of them receive all the medicinal materials they sell. Even for the diagnosis fee, they will get a double dividend based on the agreement that day, and they have to go from him. .

He dared to set up a shop, but in the end he just worked as a guy for Lou Yong and Wang Kai.

He couldn't pay for the medicine, and he had to share the medical expenses with them. He was really aggrieved in such a transaction, but he promised to be online. He swallowed his anger and pretended to smile.

"Yeah, this group of people are still laughing, Qiongle and what, the patients who have entered their Baoningtang this month can be counted with one palm."

Wang Kai is not interested in the sarcastic words of the two. He is willing to do business with Su Jinyi, just to drive the third grandma of the Su family to a dead end, and then come to secretly lend a helping hand, waiting for the third grandma of the Su family to give up. .

Picking up the money that was distributed to him at will, he didn't care about money, the foundation of the Wang family, his blind defeat was enough for him to lose for a few lifetimes. He was willing to come over to get the money, just to ask Su Jinyi, When will Baoningtang be cornered?

Now that he heard Baoningtang's laughter, he couldn't help but wonder, "What are they laughing at?"

"I don't know, poor music." Lou Yong counted the money without raising his head.

Wang Kai glanced at him and looked at Su Jinyi: "You said that you and the others are going to start to pay their bills, do you have the guts, there is no price to fight against us, I think the third grandmother of the Su family can't do business. What's the use of having an unyielding enthusiasm."

"Just call them enthusiastic. Within three months, they probably won't even have the strength to cry."

After Lou Yong finished ordering, he put away the banknotes, and Su Jinyi's flesh was painful to see. These were all earned by his hard work, but now they seem to be given away in vain.

However, he endured.

"Hehe, the two of you, they are stupid and don't press the price of medicine, but I guess they can't. I didn't show you the list of purchases from my third siblings that I got, just those old and expensive. Useless medicinal herbs, no one will buy them if they are crushed to death, I will come back and find a trick to keep them to death, I will be the host today, or go to my house for a drink?"

"I'm not going, I have something to do at home."

Lou Yong got up.

Wang Kai was quite interested: "I'm just about to have nothing to do, then go and taste the craftsmanship of your bride. I heard that she is a great beauty, and her cooking skills are definitely not bad."

Su Jinyi's eyes were a little cold, Wang Kai, a dude, if he hadn't needed him, he would have turned his face by now.

Wanting to come to Wang Kai and mess around again, he didn't dare to treat the teacher under his nose, so he said: "Then please."

"Please!"

*

After the "mobilization meeting" was over, it was time for Xu Xiuyi to go back to the house. After coming out of the Baoning Hall, she saw Su Jinyi and Lou Yong and Wang Kai coming out of the Baoning Hall.

When Wang Kai saw her, his eyes were straight. He wanted to have a word with Xu Xiuyi, even if he was just scolded by Xu Xiuyi, he would be happy.

Thinking of his footsteps, he moved forward involuntarily, with a smile on his face, just as he was about to speak, Xu Xiuyi didn't even look at him, and got into the carriage.

Wang Kai looked disappointed, Lou Yong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, is this taste heavy? I want to taste the widow's taste, I'm gone, I owe you the business of the old Liu family. Personal affection, I'll pay you back another day."

Wang Kai was still in awe, and he didn't seem to care.

"Brother, don't talk about business, if you want my wife, I will send you too."

"I can't bear it, hahahaha, hahahaha."

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Su Jinyi was behind him, looking at Lou Yong and Wang Kai's good relationship, he became more and more unhappy, and there was always a feeling that the two were united to corrupt him.

But when Lou Yong turned to say goodbye to him, he still had a smile all over his face, so that no one could tell his thoughts.

*

Anfu.

Qin Engong was about to come, An Chengshao actually received the legend of flying pigeons long ago.

It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Yan would come up again.

Qin Xueyi's explanation to him was that Qin Yan was forced to die, and he couldn't.

For An Chengshao, Qin Yan used to be a younger sister, and he was willing to take care and care, but now, it was like a cancer, he kept it at a distance, and even felt a little disgusted in his heart.

Qin Xueyi went to Beijing this time, one is to be invited by the Queen Mother, to enter the palace to make a screen that has a good relationship between heaven and earth for a hundred years, and the other is for Qin Xu.

Qin Xu was the son of his concubine. Although he was young, he was very stubborn. He always thought that his mother's death had nothing to do with Qin Yan's mother. Therefore, a child and an adult were fighting every day at home, but he didn't dare to dare. Helping Qin Xu, afraid that his wife would be angry, so he thought of the only way to send Qin Xu to the capital to study.

This time he came up to settle down Qin Xu's school, Mu's mother, and life in the capital.

In An Chengshao's study, An Chengshao listened to Qin Xueyi's arrangement for Qin Xu's future, his face did not change much, but said: "What did Qin Xu say?"

"He is an obedient child, and he will be willing to stay in the capital."

"When will Engong enter the palace?"

"On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the prince will choose a concubine. The queen mother will send a screen that has been blessed by God for a hundred years. There is still three months. No hurry.

"What about Qin Yan?"

That's the point.

Qin Xueyi's face showed embarrassment: "You know your aunt misses you and Yan'er..."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at An Chengshao's face. Seeing that his face was not very good, he seemed unwilling to listen to this, and sighed helplessly.

"I can't always beat their mother and daughter, they are my calamity, I can only feel sorry for you, I can't manage my own daughter, you can think of a way to make her give up on you, or she may not be able to do it again. What happened to me, you don't know, you left her and left, she was going to die several times, I poured the drug every day and made her dizzy, she didn't act stupid The matter is coming. This time I want to go to Beijing, she cried in front of me all night, and her mother also came to make trouble, I really have no way to do it. "

Qin Xueyi has always been afraid of his wife, An Chengshao can probably imagine how embarrassed he is.

Looking outside the yard, Qin Yan was breaking a leaf from a tree and lost a lot of weight. He was no longer the innocent, lively and lovely Qin Yan he knew.

He just hated her.

But the Qin family was kind to him after all, he could only nod his head: "I will solve it."

"Young Master Cheng, don't hurt her, she's just a silly girl."

"I know, grace."

Qin Xueyi sighed and said, "We've stayed at the Yuelai Inn for the past few days. If the house where Qin Yan lived is still vacant, we'll move there."

"always there."

"Okay, by the way, Su family, you haven't acted yet?"

Qin Xueyi asked.

An Chengshao was silent for a moment.

Qin Xueyi shook his head: "The woman I know is also from the Su family, and she is still the head of the Su family now, Young Master Cheng, I'm not talking about you, even if it's not our Qin Yan, she shouldn't be a widow, forget it, I I know you don't want to listen. I know you best when you are small. Although your temperament is cold, if you are sure of something, you will be plunged into it hot, and ten cows may not be able to pull you back. Think about your mother. Come on, kid."

An Chengshao was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "I have already started to act, already, done something."

Qin Xueyi sighed again: "Sometimes revenge is actually not happy at all. I persuaded you before, but you persuaded me in turn. Now that you have taken the first step, you should either stop or stop. Don't worry about it, make a quick decision, you have been delayed in the capital for too long, and the Tuoba family outside the gates will be arrogant when you are not around."

"I heard that, let Lu Qing and Lu Hong go back and deal with it."

"You can count it yourself. I won't say more. I'm leaving. Yan'er, let's go to the inn."

After leaving the study, Qin Yan ran over immediately, but instead of running in front of Qin Xueyi, he ran into the study and saw that Xu Xiuyi's portrait was still there, staring at An Chengshao angrily.

"I, I would like to be small."

As soon as he said it, Qin Xueyi only called that helpless, and came in and dragged Qin Yan.

Qin Yan broke his hand: "Young Master An Cheng, I said I would like to be a concubine."

"You want shame."

Qin Xueyi's face was cold.

Qin Yan's eyes were red with grievances.

"Walk."

Qin Xueyi snorted coldly again, Qin Yan was still a little afraid of him after all, so she could only leave with Qin Xueyi with wet eyes, walked to the door, turned back to An Chengshao and said, "Even if it's a maid, I'm willing. "

An Chengshao didn't even look at her, turned around coldly, entered the study, and closed the door.

There were two packs of tears in Qin Yan's eyes, and suddenly fell down, Qin Xueyi finally softened his tone when he saw the baby girl like this: "He doesn't like you, even if he is a maid, he won't want you, Yaner, listen to Dad. If so, darling, tomorrow and daddy will go to the palace to meet the queen mother, and the queen mother will point you to a good marriage."

Qin Yan wiped away her tears angrily: "I don't want anyone, I want An Chengshao."

"You, whatever you want, but I warn you, if you dare to joke about your life again, I will divorce your mother."

Qin Yan whimpered and cried, "You dare not, even if you dare, I still love Young Master Cheng, and I will love him with my life."

Qin Xueyi had nothing to say, so he could only look at Qin Yan in distress and helplessness, and then look at An Chengshao who had closed the door of the study, and sighed deeply: "Nie Yuan, Nie Yuan."

After speaking, she went straight to the carriage, Qin Yan looked at the closed study with tears in her eyes, and finally followed Qin Xueyi to the carriage. She was not reconciled, she was really not reconciled, but no matter how much she was not reconciled, because Love An Chengshao, she is willing to let go of her unwillingness.

Whether it is a concubine or a child, even if it is a servant who brings tea and water, as long as she can accompany An Chengshao every day, she does not care, but why does he not want her, why?

[Forgive my carelessness, Su Yalan is the second young lady of the Su family, and Xu Xiuyi used to be called the eldest sister, which is wrong, thank you all.Let me correct it here, the eldest sister is still in the palace, and has fallen from a concubine to a concubine.I will write about this eldest sister in the future, thank you all. 】
