Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 266
Fu Ye led the people, surrounded Su Tong three circles in and out, and rode home on horseback.

Su Tong raised his eyebrows, and now he felt that he was the next target. It would be even more troublesome to let the murderer find someone else.

She is not short of people every day, although she is not obvious on weekdays, but Zhao Wanrong always likes to take precautions before they happen, and she is a member of the royal family, so she is used to paying attention to safety. When she was in Qingzhou in the past, she made a lot of arrangements for Su Tong. Expert guards, when they arrived in the capital, the standard of guards was even higher.

Now that Su Tong is going out, if she really meets someone who robs her, she will definitely not be the one who is unlucky.

Whether Su Tong used to watch TV or read novels, he always saw the protagonist of a certain noble son, whose skills were much better than the guards around him.

If there is an assassination incident, the protagonist must catch the assassin wisely, and the guards are either cannon fodder, or they rush over later.

Only in this era did Su Tong realize how outrageous that description was.

For example, Zhao Wanrong, the bodyguards she trained had worked hard for ten years, getting up early and going to bed late, exercising their bodies. Out of a thousand guards, there might only be one or two with good aptitude and enough loyalty to follow their master.

Compared with those who rely on this profession for a living, those noble sons who learn horseback riding and hunting to learn Wudang for entertainment, and also learn various other things, can't compare with 20 years of practice.

You know, the professionalism of these bodyguards is absolutely no worse than the bodyguards of Zhongnanhai that appeared in those TV movies in later generations.

Not to mention Zhao Wanrong, but she occasionally went to the street, no matter how she walked, her figure would never leave the guard's sight, and those people always stood in a place that could help her block the knife.

If there is any dangerous person within three meters, her guards will block them away without any trace. These people's eyes are also very sharp. As long as there is danger, they will never come to Su Tong's side, unless it is As the host, she deliberately went to see the excitement.

No wonder none of the people injured by the murderer was a daughter of a noble family, but a daughter of a doctor named Shi Gong. Because his daughter was a concubine, she married an ordinary businessman with a lax family. It is impossible for him to commit murder on a girl from a wealthy family. The threshold for such a family is too high for the murderer to enter easily.

Fu Ye and Su Wencheng were very worried, and even Erlang and A Yue, the younger ones, were also nervous, and Su Tong was not allowed to go out for several days.

It doesn't matter if you don't go out, anyway, most of the time in this era, you can only be a house girl, Su Tong can find time to read, draw, play chess, and play the piano, which is also very comfortable.

However, seeing the nervousness of the family members, she also felt bad, so that she hoped that the murderer would show up earlier, so as not to make people worry.

Simply, judging from the time interval between his murders, it seems that he can't wait too long.

"I just hope to come soon, so as not to interfere with Xiao Yao's marriage."

"Little lady, don't talk nonsense..."

It's rare that it's a fine autumn day, Erya's face turned pale after hearing her master's words, but she still braced herself to go to the study to take out those books to dry in the sun.

The recent cases in the capital have become anecdotes on the streets and alleys. Many girls dare not go out at night, and the night market is not as lively as it used to be.

Er Ya has seen the world now, but after all she is just a weak woman, and it is inevitable that she will feel sorry for such a tragedy, and she is even more terrified when she hears that her little lady is also being targeted.

Su Tong sat in the viewing pavilion in the yard, sorting out his manuscripts for a while, intending to pick out those that would not be out of date, and send them to Qingzhou for printing.

Chen Mo plans to open a printing workshop here in the capital, but he has been busy recently and can't take care of it for the time being.

"Little lady."

Axia led people to carry four large wooden boxes, Haohao Tangtang went straight into the courtyard gate, and smiled as soon as he stepped into the gazebo, "The eldest princess said, this is the money for you to open the escort agency, besides, The princess also has two big ships at your disposal."

Su Tong was stunned, and asked someone to open the box to look at it. He thought it was copper coins, but he didn't expect it to be four big boxes of gold ingots, which were exquisitely crafted and had the seal of the imperial court on them.

The golden light shone, and Ah Zhen's group of female envoys were stunned.

Su Tong couldn't laugh or cry, now gold and silver are not used as currency at all, they are rewards issued by the court, and part of the salaries of nobles and officials are used for this. Now that the princess gave her so many boxes of gold, she didn't know what to do. How to deal with it is.

However, Zhao Wanrong's influence is really not small, she actually knew what she wanted to do in the first time, and she immediately affirmed the benefits of it.

"Put it in the warehouse first, and I will discuss it with the princess in two days."

Of course, if she is to be a shareholder, not only her, but the imperial court must take a large share, otherwise how can those messy checkpoints be passed?
This kind of business must cooperate with the imperial court, and those post stations will also play a big role. If the imperial court only set up post stations for the convenience of passing officials, it would be too wasteful.

As soon as the gold was put away, another row of embroiderers was sent to the princess' mansion, saying that the eldest princess got some excellent new clothes and wanted to make them for Su Tong to try on.

There are 20 embroidery ladies, old and young. The garden in Su Tong’s yard is not very big, and the gazebo is also small. They swarmed over and made the whole yard run wild. The day was cold and dull.

The leading embroiderer was surnamed Hong, unmarried all her life, eating this bowl of rice in the Princess Mansion, she looked very kind and well-behaved, she opened the box herself, picked up the material and put it on a plain-clothed embroiderer, letting Su Tong Look: "Little lady, please take a look and see which colors you like."

I have to say that girls like pretty things.

At first glance, Su Tong saw that the satin had different colors, but they were all extremely bright. The red one was a very bright red, pink, yellow, and sapphire blue, a crisp green color.

A-Xia was also amazed: "I thought the colors dyed by our academy were rare and bright, but I didn't expect them to look much better than the ones we made ourselves."

The embroiderer surnamed Hong smiled, and introduced in a low voice: "This satin is sent to the princess from the south of the Yangtze River. There is no satin in the tribute satin, and the output is very small. The princess means, you keep more red ones, maybe you can use them right away. "

Su Tong laughed, and she wasn't too polite. Except for dark blue and big green, she didn't like it very much, so she chose everything else, and then asked the embroidered lady to measure her body and recorded the body data.

Since arriving in the capital, she has lost some weight. She used to pinch her waist, which was still fleshy, but now she can only feel a handful of bones, and she really needs to be re-tailored.

The Su family has been dull for several days, and today the eldest princess made such a fuss, and the tense string was finally relaxed.

Su Tong also let out a sigh of relief, this is her home, it should be the most comfortable place, let the female envoys stare at her every day, how can she bear it?Probably get a good night's sleep tonight.

As a result, Su Tong accompanied Li Xiuniang to look at the account books at night, and then went to take a bath. While washing, he heard a noise coming from outside.

Ah Zhen rushed into the bathroom, grabbed the clothes and put them on Su Tong.
