Medical Brocade

Chapter 287 Antiques
Looking from the outside, the carriage didn't have too many decorations, it was very ordinary, so it wouldn't attract people's attention when walking at night.However, inside the carriage, there are a lot of soft cushions, making people sit more comfortably than expected.

"The person who can make Dr. Qi speak in person is really not an ordinary person." Dong Xiaoqian waited for Qu Ruowen to sit down and said, as if he had already guessed that Qu Ruowen would definitely come out.

"It's hard for Ms. Dong to think of this level. From this, it can be seen that apart from being resolute and calm, Ms. Dong is also thoughtful." Qu Ruowen sat calmly, not inferior to Dong Xiaoqian, as if she still carried the silence and imminent danger that had gone through life and death not messy.

"I didn't expect you to be young, but you have a unique way of looking at people. No wonder Dr. Qi told me that I can't treat you as an ordinary girl." Dong Xiaoqian agreed with Qi Zhenghe's statement since then, and he didn't believe it at first. , What kind of woman can make Qi Zhenghe spend a lot of trouble.

According to Dong Xiaoqian's words, Qi Zhenghe should have seen her before.

"Where is Doctor Qi now?" Qu Ruowen was more concerned about Qi Zhenghe's whereabouts than anything else.

"It seems that I was invited by the maid of the Xie family. She said that the son of the major general seemed unwell. I have also heard that the son of the major general had an accident when he was born. It is a miracle that he survived. It is common to be weak. .”

This excuse is less suspicious than Lin Yuyan's illness. In this way, Dong Xiaoqian should not know the real purpose of it. It seems that there should be no problem with today's treatment, and Qu Ruowen no longer has any worries.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage had stopped, and after Qu Ruowen got out of the carriage, he was already in Dong's house. It seemed that the carriage drove directly in from the side.

"You and Wei'er go to my yard to rest first, and I have to go to my father's side to say hello first." Dong Xiaoqian said after dismounting.

"Girl, this way please." Wei'er waited for Dong Xiaoqian to leave, then led Qu Ruowen to Dong Xiaoqian's yard.

It was night at this time, although there were a few servants on patrol on the road, they were led by Wei'er, and they didn't ask any questions. On the contrary, the servants were very respectful to Wei'er.Thinking about it, it's actually normal. Dong Xiaoqian is Dong Changshang's only daughter, and she will be the head of the Dong family in the future. Wei'er is Dong Xiaoqian's personal maid, so her status is naturally extraordinary.

"Girl, this is the lady's yard. You can rest here for a while, and the servants will let someone prepare some snacks." After An asked Qu Ruo, Wei'er went down. Before going out, she didn't forget to close the door, maybe she knew It's too late for her to have dinner at Qi's family.

Her identity is quite special, and Dong Xiaoqian didn't intend to let others know, which is good for everyone.

When Wei'er brought the dinner, Dong Xiaoqian just came back from Dong Changshang's side. Although there was still a smile on his face, there seemed to be a faint worry between his brows, which was deeply hidden.

"Miss Dong, what happened?" In such a sensitive period, Qu Ruowen paid extra attention to any disturbances, and moreover, he was still in the Dong family who had never met before.

"I heard that this time the Hu family had a batch of silk to be transported to the south. When they left the city, they were all interrogated, without exception. I don't know whether they are really investigating fugitives or others." Dong Xiaoqian sat down opposite Qu Ruowen, It seemed that he was worried about Qu Ruowen's booth this time, and he seemed to be weighing whether he had promised too hastily this time, and was considering whether to give up at this point.

Qi Zhenghe could find out that she was the real interrogator at the gate of the city, not a fugitive. Dong Xiaoqian's connections were no less extensive than Qi Zhenghe's, so there was no reason why he didn't know.

But since Dong Xiaoqian agreed to Qi Zhenghe, she has no reason to go back on her word. She doesn't believe in Dong Xiaoqian, but in Qi Zhenghe.Now that he has come to this point, it is too late to return to the Qi family to make plans.

Now that Dong Xiaoqian had opened his mouth, Qu Ruowen didn't feel flustered, only calm, no matter how bad the situation was, it wouldn't be so bad.

"What is Miss Dong going to do?"

"This is really a problem." Dong Xiaoqian rested his chin, looked at Qu Ruowen who was eating dinner slowly, and held the chopsticks firmly with his hand, as if it had nothing to do with him, "You are not nervous at all."

"Of course, with Ms. Dong's ability, I just need to follow Ms. Dong's arrangement. It's too early to be nervous and worried. It's better to save it until tomorrow." Qu Ruo asked.

"I heard that King Jing ordered the interrogation this time. The Hu family has something to do with King Jing. Now even the Hu family will inevitably be interrogated. Tomorrow, my batch of antiques will inevitably be searched one by one." Dong Xiaoqian said When he said it, he seemed to be more interested in Qu Ruowen, who is it, who can make a big deal and still keep quiet, "I wanted to hide you in an antique box and transport you out. The Dong family's family background, I don't think it will be carefully checked, but this time, the guards at the city gate did not accept bribes, but strictly obeyed orders."

"Miss Dong means that this time, let alone me, even if it is my things, it may not be able to be taken out smoothly?"

"Almost." Dong Xiaoqian said.

"But looking at Miss Dong's expression and listening to Miss Dong's tone, it doesn't seem to be the same thing." Qu Ruo asked while listening to the stall. She had already finished her meal and was really hungry. All the dishes are eaten cleanly.

Dong Xiaoqian was very curious: "You are not me, how do you know?"

"I didn't intend to use anyone to get out of the city this time, but since I've arrived at Dong's house, I must have made some arrangements somewhere. I didn't think about getting anyone involved. Why don't Ms. Dong prepare a brocade box that can hold this box for me?" And some paints, and, if you can, give me a plate like this one, the bigger and less patterned the better."

Dong Xiaoqian didn't know what Qu Ruowen wanted to do, so he gave Wei'er a wink, and Wei'er went down to prepare.Wei'er really deserves to be Dong Xiaoqian's personal servant girl, she is smart and capable, she has learned a lot from Dong Xiaoqian, and within a short while, everything is done.

The medicine box was originally silver-white, but later it was painted the same color as a normal medicine box. Now, Qu Ruowen plans to recolor it, and she mixed it with black. If it looks like it is in a brocade box, it will be like seeing the box directly Same bottom.She started to paint the white plate again, and the sandalwood-colored plate suddenly looked like frosted. She drew a wave in the center of the plate to separate the two halves. The plate seemed to be cracked, but it was still intact.She tapped a little on both sides, one with vermilion and the other with black, just like a gossip alchemy plate.

"This... can also be regarded as an antique?" Dong Xiaoqian sighed in surprise.

"Things are rare and precious. Can the country of Qi find the same thing? If possible, can you find me two pearls, one black pearl and one red pearl, inlaid at these two points." Qu If you ask to put the medicine box in the brocade box, spread a red cloth on the top of the medicine box, and put the plate on it, the whole brocade box seems to be just to decorate the plate, if it is paired with two pearls, it will naturally look more like a piece of antique.

"In this way, no one will pay attention to your box." Dong Xiaoqian's eyes were full of surprise, as if he knew Qu Ruowen again.

"Miss Dong, please forgive me, since tomorrow we will open the boxes one by one for interrogation, the recent batch of goods, especially tomorrow, should be as small as possible, or they can be divided into batches. Nothing was found in the first search, Then the second time will not be so strict. An antique is invaluable, if it is exposed, then this trip south will definitely be coveted, if you are not careful, it is better to lose a few than to lose all." Qu Ruowen said Directly, I have already prepared for the worst, and things may happen during a business trip, just like that time when the river and the sea encountered storms, and if one was not careful, the entire batch of medicinal materials was thrown into the river.

Wei'er was slightly displeased. When Qu Ruo asked, she seemed to be cursing what happened to the Dong family's goods. This time it was all for her. How could she speak like that.

"Girl, how can you be like this..."

Dong Xiaoqian raised his hand to block it, and his eyes flashed: "You have far-reaching considerations. Among the five imperial merchants, only my family's antiques are the easiest to get, and the most worthwhile, and even easier to get rid of."

"Miss..." Hearing Dong Xiaoqian's words, Wei'er's lips twitched slightly, but she couldn't say anything.

"Ms. Dong really understands. Recently, Ms. Dong must have heard about the Qu family and the Wei family. In fact, the Ye family also had an accident long ago, but it was not as serious as imagined. Therefore, during this period, Dong Miss, it's better to be careful in everything."

Dong Xiaoqian suddenly looked at Qu Ruowen squarely. If he had been holding a wait-and-see and test attitude before, this time, he already looked straight at her, and even wanted to listen to her.

"It turns out that you know more than you think."

"This is not something to be happy about. If you know too much, you will provoke people who shouldn't be provoked. If you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will naturally cause trouble." Qu Ruowen closed the brocade box and put it aside.

"During the years of doing business with my father, I thought I had seen all kinds of scenes. I didn't expect that you, who are not well-known, could see it better. In the capital, I thought I was the only one who showed up as a woman and met all kinds of people. In this way, I am not the only one. My father often said that there are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. He told me to restrain myself and not be too sharp. I didn't think much of it before, but this time I learned it. "

"Miss Dong is only in contact with businessmen. It's hard for Miss Dong to meet strange women. If it's about deploying soldiers on the battlefield and strategizing to win thousands of miles, Miss Dong might as well hang out with Miss Xie's second, and she will gain a new understanding."

"You say that, I really want to get to know Qu Ruowen, the third miss of the Qu family." When Ms. Dong said Qu Ruowen's name, she gave Qu Ruowen a meaningful look, as if to confirm that Qu Ruowen ask for identity.

Qu Ruowen didn't know that there was something in Dong Xiaoqian's words, but when she found out, the expression on her face was enough for Dong Xiaoqian to confirm something.

"It's getting late, so you can sleep peacefully. Since you have promised Doctor Qi, the Dong family will naturally not break their promise. I will send you out of the city tomorrow." Dong Xiaoqian promised.

"Miss Dong's words, I naturally believe that this brocade box will be handed over to Ms. Dong." Qu Ruowen pushed the brocade box next to her without any hesitation.
