Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 80 Let's make do with it?

What Baili Jinchuan did was reported back to the capital, and the people cheered.Although the second prince's actions violated the imperial edict of the emperor, he was genuinely thinking of the common people.Many people burned incense at home day and night, praying to the Buddha to bless the second prince to complete the disaster relief as soon as possible.

On the contrary, there are a large number of court officials. These days, Baili Qingcang's imperial case is almost overwhelmed by the impeachment of the second prince.

In Chengqian Hall, the third prince was filled with righteous indignation: "Father, the second brother is too arrogant. You sent him to die for disaster relief, but he killed most of the officials in Jiangnan first. I don't know what kind of mess it's going to be."

Baili Qingcang looked down at the memorial, without any emotion in his deep eyes: "Then what do you think should be done?"

"I believe that the second brother should be recalled immediately, and his title should be revoked, and he should be shut up for a while to calm the hearts of the people."

Baili Qingcang looked at him coldly, and questioned in his voice: "After he is called back, who will go to Jiangnan to continue disaster relief, you?"

The third prince choked up suddenly, Jiangnan is full of plagues, who dares to die?

"Since you don't want to go, let's do this for the time being. Send the medicinal materials needed by Jiangnan as soon as possible. No one can delay. What the second prince committed will be discussed after Jiangnan subsides." Baili Qingcang shook his head after finishing speaking. The sleeves strode away.

The prince in bright yellow clothes got up and walked out, but was grabbed by the third prince: "Prince, when the plague in the south of the Yangtze River subsides, the second elder brother will become the object of support of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. If we want to touch him again, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be afraid." I won’t agree. The second elder brother has a high status in the army, and now with the popular sentiment, the prince should be careful.”

Baili Jinyi had a warm smile on his face: "Second brother can get the support of the people, so I, the eldest brother, am naturally happy. Third brother, now that the country is in crisis, I'd better stop saying such things."

When the crown prince was far away, the third prince yelled at the ground: "Bah! You're so grandiose, hmph, I don't believe you're not in a hurry." Now because of the prescription, the Zhao family also took it, and the emperor has been there for a long time. He didn't go to the queen's palace anymore, he wanted to see how long the prince could last.

At this time, in Linjiang City, disaster relief was carried out in an orderly manner.With the precedents of Pingcheng and Yicheng, no one caused trouble here, and many people helped the overwhelmed guards to take care of the victims and distribute items as soon as they recovered.

On the street, the city that had been dead for a long time slowly revealed life.It's just that Baili Jinchuan, who should be happy, is frowning now.

"Old General Xiao, the medicinal materials in the warehouse are enough for four days at most. If no medicinal materials arrive after four days, Jiangnan may be in chaos."

Xiao Jingran's face was serious, and his voice was tired: "Your Highness, the second prince, the veteran has already submitted the memorial overnight, and now this situation can only be dealt with as best as possible. The old minister will go to remind you again, and your highness, the second prince, don't be too anxious."

Baili Jinchuan's eyebrows twisted into a mountain peak. The medicinal materials that should have arrived yesterday have not been found, and he felt a thump in his heart. He thought that the situation in Jiangnan was so serious that his brothers would not jump out to make things difficult. He was still thinking too naively.

Unknowingly, he walked out of the hall and came to the garden behind the government office.

Shen Ninghua sat on a stool in the small pavilion, resting her head with her hands.

The sun was mild and the breeze was blowing, and her long-term fatigue made her slowly fall asleep.The white porcelain face is slightly bright in the sun, and the two eyebrows are moderately thick and sparse, carrying a fresh and elegant charm.And the bright eyes under the thick eyelashes were gently closed, no longer the blandness and alienation of the past, making people want to get closer involuntarily.

Baili Jinchuan stopped not far away, looked at her obsessively, and heard the heart beating rapidly in his chest.

Shen Ninghua dozed off, and suddenly felt a scorching gaze on her, and opened her eyes suddenly: "Your Highness, the Second Prince?"

Baili Jinchuan restrained his emotions subconsciously: "Why did you fall asleep here? But you are too tired?"

The emotion in Baili Jinchuan's eyes quickly subsided, but Shen Ninghua still caught a clue, and her voice became colder and colder: "It's nothing, why are you here?"

"The medicinal materials are still without a trace..." He said with a heavy sigh, "I don't know if my father knows about this matter? Ninghua, can you do something?"

Shen Ninghua frowned: "No." It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, she can't concoct so many medicinal ingredients out of thin air.

"I was delusional," Baili Jinchuan apologized, Shen Ninghua made him feel too at ease, no matter what time she handled things with ease, when he couldn't find the backbone, the first thing he thought of was her.

Chu Junyi walked over shaking his fan, saw the two people in the pavilion, and said: "Your Highness the Second Prince is here, and there are many people gathered at the gate, Your Highness should go and have a look."

Baili Jinchuan got up quickly: "Mr. Laomo told me, Ninghua, I'll go and have a look first."

Shen Ninghua nodded, but did not make a sound.

Chu Junyi raised the corners of his lips faintly, and when he was far away, he sat down opposite Shen Ninghua and said casually: "This person treats you like a treasure trove, and comes to ask you about everything."

Shen Ninghua was so disturbed that she lost sleepiness, and turned her head to look at the lush rose blooming beside the pavilion: "Who stopped the medicinal materials?"

"Except for the six or seven princes who are underage, all other princes participated." Chu Junyi sneered mockingly. When the people were in danger, several princes still wanted to intrigue.I really don't know what to say.

Shen Ninghua's mind turned, and she stretched out her fingers unconsciously to fiddle with the teacup on the table.

The jade-colored fingertips became more and more brilliant against the backdrop of the celadon misty rain lamp. Chu Junyi felt itchy in his heart, and couldn't help thinking about how it would feel to hold these hands in the palm of his hand...

"If I want to buy medicinal materials, is there any way for you?"

Chu Junyi came back to his senses: "Do you want to buy medicinal materials for disaster relief? This is not a small amount, do you have so much silver?"

"When I saved you, you gave 5000 taels of gold and sold it to the second prince for a unique book of war for 5000 taels of gold. Adding in the dowry left by my mother, I earned some fragments of silver taels, which add up to almost 100 million taels. It's silver, and besides, the medicinal materials I want to buy don't care how good the quality is, as long as the quantity is enough, it's enough to be weighed for a few days." As long as he survives the most difficult period, the emperor will not allow a few princes to ruin his country.

100 million taels?Chu Junyi was beyond surprised. He knew that Shen Ninghua had money, but he didn't expect her to be so rich: "Ninghua, what will you do after spending so much money on medicinal materials?" She no longer had a biological mother, and the Shen family She is about to fall, and the Zhao family is watching her like a tiger. Although Baili Qingcang recognized her as a foster daughter, her status is still quite embarrassing, and she has no money by her side...

Shen Ninghua bent her eyes and smiled happily: "Of course it's for making money."

"Make money? Are you going to resell medicinal materials?"

Shen Ninghua looked up at him contemptuously: "I just want to resell those disaster victims, can they afford it?"

"What are your plans?"

"Of course it's a gift." Shen Ninghua's eyes were slightly bright, and her beautiful face was full of spirits, "I bought the medicinal materials and donated them in the name of a medicinal herb shop. When the plague in the south of the Yangtze River subsides, I will spread the medicinal materials. You What do you think will happen then?"

Chu Junyi paused, and then his eyes froze: "I'm afraid your medicine shop will open all over Jiangnan." The sea water is just waiting to be scooped up?

"Ninghua, I'll contribute some money too. How about counting my share? I want the name of the pharmacy, how about calling it Junhua Medicine? Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua, the two of us jointly opened the medicine store?"

Shen Ninghua almost laughed out of anger: "Why are you so thick-skinned? Junhua Medicine, why aren't you called Huajun Medicine?"

Chu Junyi has a gentle smile on his face, holds a folding fan, and has deep eyes. He looks like a gentleman like jade, but what he said makes people want to step on his face:

"Okay, then it will be called Huajun Medicine, and naturally your name will be on the front. Ninghua, I remember when you asked me if I fell in love with your sister, I told you that I would marry someone who is good at housekeeping and has outstanding abilities. I think you are just right, and you will be ready soon, why don't we make do with each other?"

Shen Ninghua raised her eyebrows, her cheeks flushed because of anger, if she hadn't worried about the wrong occasion, she would have thrown the teacup in her hand on Chu Junyi's face: "I have never seen you so thick-skinned people."

"You have misunderstood this, and I will be thick-skinned towards you. I have always been gentle and courteous to others. Anyway, Mo Junqing is also a child of the Mo family who came out to practice. This Mo family is a hermit family. People are amazing only when they are almost everyone, you will see it slowly.”

"Unfortunately, you are an exception." As he spoke, he completely ignored him, and concentrated on admiring the blooming rose next to him.

"Exceptions are exceptions." Chu Junyi didn't mind Shen Ninghua's ignorance, and said with a smile: "Although my identity, Mo Junqing, is fake, it is still possible to use this identity to buy some medicinal materials. Since you can Take out 100 million taels of silver, I can't be too bad, let's take 200 million taels, and we will split the money [-]-[-], okay, I'll go find out where the medicinal materials come from, just wait for my good news."

300 million taels of silver was used to buy medicinal materials, which was enough for Jiangnan to survive for half a month. Shen Ninghua looked at his figure leaving with unhurried and graceful steps, not knowing what expression to use, and finally smiled softly. Depressed emotions dissipated.

The news that the medicinal materials were not transported to the south of the Yangtze River exploded like a thunder overnight, and the victims fell into hell immediately. The plague was rampant, and people died every day. At this time, there were no medicinal materials. Wouldn't this force them to die?

For a while, the whole Jiangnan was crying loudly, and God seemed to think that it was not enough. After a few days of clear weather, it started to rain again, which made the already crumbling embankment even worse.

The imperial physician said dejectedly: "Reporting to Your Highness the Second Prince, all the medicinal materials in the storeroom have been used up, and now there are many carriages from other towns waiting at the gate of the city, just waiting to distribute the medicinal materials and go back to make medicine to save lives..."

Baili Jinchuan slammed the teacup on the ground: "The medicinal materials! The medicinal materials! When will the medicinal materials come!"

Suddenly, a shout of surprise came from outside the door, and a guard ran in with a face full of joy, and threw himself on the ground. He didn't care, and grinned and shouted:
"Your Highness, Second Prince, there is medicine, and the ingredients are here!"
