The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 569 The Enemy (2)
Hua Ying shook her head, "In business, there are losses and gains. It's my own incompetence. No wonder Ma'am!"

Leng Ping said in a low voice: "If I say that I have to do this because I have no choice, will Master Hua believe it?"

Huaying smiled wryly and said, "Ma'am, you don't have to explain anything to a loser. Back then, my Huayao shop climbed up step by step on the corpses of many medicine shops!"

Huaying doesn't blame Leng Ping, but only blames herself for being negligent for a while, only seeing the immediate benefits, but forgetting her own fundamentals.Ge Laogao's medicine is so easy to earn, as long as the word Ge Lao is pasted, even a licorice can be turned into ginseng's price. He is too complacent and relies too much on Leng Ping's medicine shop, which caused this situation.

It is he who is greedy for small profits and loses the overall situation, and he deserves it!
Calmly, he didn't say anything, but motioned Huang Li to put the things in front of Huaying.

"Master Hua, this is a contract. I want to use Hua Medicine as a branch of Ping'an Medicine. From now on, the name of Hua Medicine will remain the same, the shopkeeper will remain the same, and the rules will remain the same. Except for one thing, we can no longer provide medicinal materials to the border! I The court offerings from Ping An Medicine Store will be divided into two types for Hua Medicine Store!" Leng Ping said.

Hua Ying was startled, and he looked at Leng Ping in confusion. Leng Ping meant that the mighty prince could no longer be supplied with medicinal materials?Why?
"If Lord Hua agrees, Huayao can reopen tomorrow!" Leng Ping said without further explanation.

Huang Li hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Master, this is the only way now, Madam said, this Huayao shop will continue to open, nothing will change, except..."

Huaying raised her eyes and asked, "Madam Hao, may I ask why?"

Leng Ping shook her head, "No!"

Huaying sighed, keeping the signboard of Huayaohang is more important than anything else, but will Situ Zhanchen give up like this?
"Now Hua Medicine Store is just a branch of Ping An Medicine Store. I am in charge of all important matters. If something happens, I will take care of it. Master Hua only needs to take care of the general affairs of the Medicine Store!" Leng Ping said in a low voice.

Huaying hesitated for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and bowed to Leng Ping, "Yes, ma'am!"

There was a smile on Huang Li's face.

Huaying stood at the gate, watching the ordinary blue cloth carriage slowly drive away.

"Master..." Mrs. Hua stepped forward, frowning worriedly, "You really decided? Even if we are downcast, there is no need to sell ourselves as slaves, and we will never be free for the rest of our lives..."

Anyway, Washington is also a prominent family in Licheng, and now that it has not been completed as someone else's buddy, Mrs. Hua can't accept this reality no matter what she thinks.

"What does it mean to sell yourself as a slave? I am still in charge of Huayao, except for one thing!" Huaying was a little unwilling to listen to this.

"But that's a big deal! That's a mighty prince who kills without blinking an eye. If we don't give him medicine, will he spare us?" Madam Hua still disagreed.

"Do you know the battle between the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang two months ago?" Huaying suddenly changed the subject.

Mrs. Hua was startled, "That time on the pier? I heard that more than a dozen people died!"

"The Yan Gang and the Cao Gang have been living in peace for so many years because the Ruan family has been involved in it. This year, they have fought with weapons, big or small, no less than ten times, and even killed people. But the strange thing is that this fight is only in the Don't you think it's a coincidence that the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang didn't hurt the people?" Huaying said in a low voice.

Mrs. Hua didn't understand, "Master, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"In the past two years, besides our involuntary control, there is also the Ruan family!" Huaying sighed, "The inner city has changed a long time ago. On the surface, it is calm, but in fact the inside has already changed hands, and now the Ruan family can no longer control black and white. Two ways, the one who can control the black and white ways is the imperial court, to be precise, the prefect Hao Chenyi!"

Mrs. Hua was stunned, "Master, are you exaggerating? A little eunuch is the biggest official in Licheng, but compared to those big officials in the court, he is nothing!"

Even the third child of the Hua family is older than Hao Chenyi, and he is also a Beijing official.

"Little prefect? ​​Don't underestimate him. Now that wars continue and the vassal kings are divided, maybe one day the world will be in chaos. It's hard to say what the surname of this country is!" Huaying whispered.

In the past two years, Hao Chenyi's ability is obvious to all, not to mention Hao Chenyi, but Leng Ping's ability. As long as he has ambition, he can do a great job!Now that he has nowhere to go, it is understandable to vote for another owner, as long as he can keep the signboard of Huayao...

Huaying said again: "This matter is settled like this, clean it up, and let someone inform the old man from the past, and get ready to work tomorrow!"

Mrs. Hua still wanted to say something, but thinking about the disdain and sarcasm for the Huazhong family when they left, Mrs. Hua felt as if she was blocked and said nothing.

"This is the Huayao shop guarded by my wise elder brother. That's fine. When I get down, I just need my elder brother to explain to my father alone. These years, my elder brother has been arbitrarily arbitrarily and will not tolerate our brothers. Huayao This is the way to go!" Before Hua Zhong left, every word and every word poked Mrs. Hua's heart.

Mrs. Hua felt that she and Huaying treated the Huazhong family very well. The fake medicine incident a few years ago cost Huazhong a few thousand taels of silver, but Huaying didn't care about it at all. The big and small expenses are all paid by Huaying, but even so, they still have a litter of white-eyed wolves after all!
If Huayao can make a comeback, no matter who it is, at least it can express this grievance!

After Mrs. Hua changed her mind, she finally had a look of joy on her face.

What are you afraid of, now the real owner of Huayaohang is the prefect's wife, that is, the prefect. If the mighty prince settles accounts, he will settle with the prefect. This is a matter for the court, so let these officials fight!

"Old Huang, quickly find someone to start work!" Mrs. Hua turned around and ordered Huang Li who had been standing outside the medicine store.

Huang Li was startled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he responded quickly.

If he had known that he could have both loyalty and righteousness now, he wouldn't have to be so entangled!

On the second day, Huayao Store reopened, but there was an inconspicuous sign on the wall next to it—Ping An Medicine Store Branch. Don’t underestimate this signboard. He also got two qualifications to be enshrined by the imperial court. Huayaohang became a member of the Imperial Merchant from a Ming Dynasty medicine store, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!
After the matter of the Huayao store was resolved, the following days were very peaceful. At first Leng Ping was worried that Situ Zhanchen would send someone to inquire about the matter of the Huayao store, but until November, when frost fell, Situ Zhanchen There was no movement from Chen.

"Is the war tense again?" It was snowing today, and Leng Ping was chatting with Hao Ren while warming up by the stove.

"Meng Guo wants to take Shanhaiguan before it snows, so it will naturally step up its offensive. Now that it snows, the war will be suspended. I'm afraid it was not peaceful a year ago!" Hao Ren said with a slight worry.
