Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 34
In the early morning of the second day, Tian Liusu got up early to pack things up. As soon as Tongrentang opened, he went to Shopkeeper Sun to ask if their boss would meet her. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Sun said that there was a big event in the capital last night, and their boss was very busy. Tian Liusu was disappointed when he couldn't see her for two days.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have come. She came all the way, but who knows that the nobleman is busy and didn't see anyone. Isn't this just playing tricks on her?She felt a little unhappy.

Shopkeeper Sun also felt embarrassed, so he comforted her and said, "Miss Su, if you can't stay long, and you can't wait, the owner will ask you to go back and continue collecting Poria cocos first. He will leave to inspect the pharmacy below after he finishes his work in the past few days. The first stop is Then I will go to Tianshui Village, and then he will tell you about the cooperation in detail."

"So it means that the owner has already decided to cooperate with me?" Tian Liusu became more interested when he heard this.

"Yes, that's what the boss said."

"Uh, well, then I'll go back first, and wait for him to come." Tian Liusu thought to himself, as if she was going shopping in the city, she must go back today, and she was already scratching her head thinking about that. The two little ghosts are dead.

After finishing speaking, she and Qin Baozhu said goodbye to shopkeeper Sun, packed up their things and prepared to go back.

She brought 80 taels of silver with her when she went out this time, and she was going to buy some things. Now she led Qin Baozhu to the street and started to buy things.

Tianqi has a well-developed commerce and trade with other countries. The things here are relatively cheap. She bought a few bolts of linen, pulled a few bolts of silk and satin, and weighed a few pounds of fine camel hair. She was going to go back and sew quilts and cotton clothes.

She wandered around and found a seller of felt in the market. This is a good thing. Felt is made of wool by bonding it. This is just right for the bunk on the earthen kang at home. Spread the felt on the bottom of the kang. Put a layer of leather mattresses on top, and heat the earth kang, so that you can survive the winter warmly without worrying about being frozen.

The chickens she bought last time have already started laying eggs, but An Anlele and her two children love to eat eggs, and they can't save them every time. It seems that it is not enough to hatch chicks, so she bought eight more hens for two A rooster was caught, and a half-sized piglet was caught, and some bran was bought to feed the pigs. Only the village head and a few villagers raised pigs in the village. Then you can kill and eat meat.

In the end, she bought some snacks in the capital, chestnut flour cake, rose cakes, and two delicious roast ducks, and asked the shop assistants to wrap all these things in oiled paper and put them in a bag she carried with her before calling Qin Baozhu to set off go home.

Their carriage is very simple, that is, a horse is harnessed to a cart, surrounded by tarpaulins, and a wooden roof is added on top.

Tian Liusu piled all his things on the carriage and sat on it by himself. Qin Baozhu and a servant squeezed on the shaft to drive the carriage. The other three occupied a corner of the carriage and sat on it by rubbing against each other. The servant gave a password , the horse ran at a constant speed.

Qin Baozhu followed her all the way with his head drooping and his face darkened. The reason was that she refused him to pay for Tian Liusu, and she was determined not to let him pay.

Tian Liusu said that she had already brought money with her, and this time she was compensated. The ingot of gold weighed a full twelve taels, and the man was quite generous in his hand, so she got a big deal. Qin Baozhu was very upset by Chu's attitude, so he kept humming on the way back and refused to say anything.

When he was approaching the gate of the city, commotion broke out in the crowd, and the people fled in all directions, as if something important had happened in the capital, a galloping horse came galloping. When he arrived at the gate of the city, Qin Baozhu and Tian Liusu's carriage had just left the city. .

The man held the badge of Prince Chang'an in his hand and ordered the city guards to close the city gates, put the whole city under martial law, and search for anyone.

In the study room of the Prince of Chang'an, Yun Luo wore a gorgeous silk and brocade home robe, and sat on the sandalwood chair above, holding a human skin mask as thin as wings in his hand, and a maid was kneeling underneath. At this time, the woman was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with dirt, and there was no intact flesh on her whole body.

That woman is Zhui'er, the personal servant girl of the imperial concubine, who is also pretending to be the concubine. He had already left the other courtyard years ago, and his whereabouts were unknown.

And her personal servant girl pretended to be her so vividly, if Xiaoqing hadn't accidentally discovered the letter and exposed her, she could almost be mistaken for the real one. , Yun Luo secretly hummed in his heart that his concubine in this life is really not simple.

"Aren't you going to recruit?" A cool smile appeared on Yunluo's handsome face, and he glanced at the woman below like a torch.

"Slaves... have nothing to say." Although the woman was shaking like chaff because of fear, she still insisted on refusing to confess.

Yunluo tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, and saw that although the woman below was still persisting, but the defense line in her heart was on the verge of collapse, the secret passage seemed to need to fill another bundle of firewood, so he turned his head to look at Mo Li beside him, and ordered: "Since If she refuses to confess, then strip her naked and throw her into a beggar gathering place, and let her fend for herself."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I say..." The woman raised her head and screamed sternly when she heard the words, her body trembled even more. She didn't expect Yunluo to be so cruel, and she also knew his uncompromising character, so she persisted Can't help it, the line of defense in my heart collapsed instantly.

"Quickly bring in the details of her situation before she left." Yun Luo's clear and shallow voice sounded, and he couldn't hear any joy or anger, but he could feel his majesty and unattainable height.

"Yes, one day after the concubine Shi Zi went to another hospital, she suddenly fell into a coma..." The maid paused after saying this, and Yun Luo frowned when she heard about it.

"After the servant girl went to ask the doctor to check the pulse of the concubine, the doctor said that the concubine was weak and her old illness had relapsed. Later, he prescribed some medicine. The concubine seemed to have forgotten a lot of things when she woke up. She asked the concubine many things about the past. After the servant girl told her, she said she would leave the other courtyard and let the servant girl pretend to be her."

The servant girl was seriously injured, and she paused to catch her breath after speaking for a while, but Yunluo was wondering about the credibility of her words.

"That letter was written by the concubine Shizi before she left, saying that if one day the maid...is exposed, she will take out this letter."

"Didn't Xiaoqing discover this letter by himself?" Yunluo asked suspiciously.

"The slave girl didn't hide it well, accidentally fell out, and was picked up by Miss Xiaoqing..."

"Hmph, she made this human skin mask?"

"Yes, the Crown Princess said... that she has a unique way of making masks, and under normal circumstances no one will be able to tear it apart."

"That's why you, a bold evil maid, thought it was a fluke and wanted to pretend to be her all the time?" Seeing the maid faltering and fumbling for a long time, Yun Luo didn't understand what she was thinking.
