Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 128

"You two, here are the wontons, please take your time." The boss delivered two bowls of wontons to the table. Although they were not expensive materials, they were made by famous masters.But there are a few small and crystal-clear wontons in the clear soup, with a few green onions sprinkled on top, and the aroma is so tangy that it makes your index finger move.It was still early at this time, and there was no one else at the wonton stand except them, not to mention such a handsome man and a beautiful woman with double walls would be very eye-catching no matter where they were, let alone in this little-known town.The boss who was over half a century old started to strike up a conversation when he had nothing to do, and said, "Seeing that the two of you are objectively not from our place?" Daiyu smiled and said, "Yes, we are from the capital." The boss smiled and said: "This lady's accent looks like we are from Jiangnan." Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "My husband is really amazing, but my natal family is from Suzhou." Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are not in the same province, they are also adjacent.Huangfu Bingyan looked at Daiyu chatting with the boss gently, and after chatting for a few words, he talked about people's livelihood, "The past two years should have been good, right?" The old man said with a smile, "Mrs. Our Jiangnan can be regarded as a land of fish and rice, and life is indeed much more peaceful."

Huangfu Bingyan asked inadvertently: "The magistrate of Hangzhou manages well, but his son is not a good person."

The old man laughed and said, "What does the guest officer really say?" Daiyu laughed and said, "A few days ago when we were in the West Lake, we saw a few young masters messing around, but we heard that they were the young masters of the prefect of Hangzhou. My husband But it's a little strange, it's very good to be under the prefect of Hangzhou, and some of them really don't know how to teach their sons." The old man said with a smile: "It's not uncommon for an official son to bully others. Anyway, our place is far away from Hangzhou city, and there are no such master sons. Willing to come here." Speaking of this, a customer came to eat wontons, and the old man smiled and said slowly, turning around to greet the guests.Daiyu looked at Huangfu Bingyan, put the wonton that she couldn't eat into his bowl, took another sip of soup, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said softly: "Looking at their temperament, the people in the south of the Yangtze River don't think badly about the officials in Hangzhou. Yes. Didn’t someone intentionally spread rumors to frame him? Does brother Huangfu know anything about the current governor of Zhejiang?”

Huangfu Bingyan shook his head and said, "I've never been involved in government affairs, let alone local officials. The news sent by the emperor praised Liang Tong, the governor of Hangzhou, and it seems that he plans to transfer him back to the household department in the capital in two years." Such an official can be said to have a bright future, and it is not impossible to say that someone deliberately wanted to ruin his reputation.After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go around again and look back at what's going on with Mohan and the others." Daiyu nodded in agreement.

After eating wontons, the two wandered around the town together for a while, Daiyu looked at the line of people outside the medicine shop that passed by a little strangely, and wondered: "Now is not the season when illnesses frequently occur, why are there so many people?" The two stopped aside, watching the frowning people who came out of it, obviously very distressed by the medicine money.Daiyu helped an old man who was panting and asked, only to find that the price of medicine in this town was several times higher than that in the north, "How can it be so expensive?" It is said that although Jiangnan is not a place rich in medicinal materials, it is never in short supply. , the price of medicinal materials is much cheaper than many places.The old man looked a little breathless, and coughed a few times before saying: "Since last year, the price of medicine has become much more expensive, and in many cases it is not easy to buy if you have money. Ordinary people are fine, but ordinary people with patients at home have a difficult life." ...I heard that there is a strange disease in that place in the south, and now many rich families in the south of the Yangtze River are hoarding medicinal materials." Huangfu Bingyan frowned and said, "If that's the case, why don't you go to other places to collect medicinal materials?" The old man shook his head and said: "We How can people understand?"

Putting some scraps of silver into the hands of the patched old man, Huangfu Bingyan frowned and thought about the problem, while Daiyu was more concerned about the strange disease the old man said.

In the evening, when he returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying, someone had already sent the news that Huangfu Bingyan wanted.Sitting under the lamp, Huangfu Bingyan frowned.Daiyu looked at him and asked, "What? Bad news?" Huangfu Bingyan shook his head and held Daiyu's hand, saying, "It is true that many wealthy families are stockpiling medicinal herbs, but ordinary people don't know anything about it. There was a sudden shortage of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and the price doubled. For the time being, it did not cause too much trouble, so nothing unusual happened." Daiyu was puzzled, "Why are rich merchants in Zhejiang hoarding so many medicinal materials?" Huangfu Bingyan Said: "I'm afraid there is something really wrong. Several big pharmacies in Hangzhou are hoarding a large amount of medicine, and many rich merchants are also hoarding medicinal materials in their homes, like..." Daiyu looked up at him and said : "Just like every year before floods and droughts, grain merchants must hoard a large amount of grain?" Huangfu Bingyan nodded.Daiyu frowned slightly, and said: "Your people have always been in the capital and the border. It's better to ask people from the Lin family about this matter." After all, the foundation of the Lin family is still in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the investigations can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Lin family.Huangfu Bingyan was not polite to her, and nodded in agreement. ,

Before dawn the next day, news from the Lin family came back.It was Mo Yu's bodyguard Lin Qingze who came to report.Ever since Mo Yu had a small success in martial arts, Lin Qingze rarely needed to follow him. Mo Yu didn't want him to waste his time, so he was sent back to Jiangnan to be in charge a few years ago, and now he has become one of the main in charge of Jiangnan. "See Qingze I’ve seen the girl, I’ve seen the prince.” Daiyu laughed and said, “Qingze is exempt, you don’t have to be so formal if you are one of your own. What is the clue of what you want to investigate?”

Lin Qingze nodded and said, "Forgive me, girl. There were some clues about the hoarding of medicinal materials by big families in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that our Lin family's drugstore didn't adjust the price accordingly, and the business of the drugstore wasn't originally regarded as making money, so we didn't check it carefully. It's just that In the past two months, some medicinal materials have been imported from other provinces. After receiving the news from the girl last night, Qingze sent people to inquire about it. A small county town more than 100 miles away from Hangzhou seems to be suffering from a strange disease. It can be contagious. In the beginning, several nearby villages also had contagion, but it did not spread to farther places. It is very remote, and our family does not have a store there, so the specific news is not very clear." Huangfu Bingyan Frowning, he said: "If that's the case, the entire county is infected, why didn't the court be notified?" Lin Qingze looked at Huangfu Bingyan with some embarrassment, and finally said in a low voice: "I heard some gossip that Governor Liang of Zhejiang will soon He is about to be promoted, and Master Qin will probably take over his position at that time. If at this time" Lin Qingze didn't continue in the middle of speaking, the coldness on Huangfu Bingyan's body was already frighteningly cold, and he said coldly: "You mean Liang Tong deliberately concealing the epidemic for the sake of his political achievements?" Lin Qingze hurriedly said: "This is just the conjecture of the subordinates, from the perspective of the whole machine, Mr. Liang is also a good official."

Daiyu raised her hand to hold Huangfu Bingyan's hand, and the chill on Huangfu Bingyan's body immediately dropped a lot.Lin Qingze, who was a little overwhelmed standing on the side, was relieved, and let out a deep breath in his heart.Only then did Daiyu look at Lin Qingze and said, "As soon as possible, collect... the situation in Qingyuan County. How long has this illness been...?" Lin Qingze said, "It seems to have happened at the end of last year." Really, it has been nearly four months since the end of last year, Huangfu Bingyan of the county said: "Yu'er, you will go to Hangzhou tomorrow, I will go and see in person." Daiyu blurted out: "I will go with you Go!" Huangfu Bingyan frowned, and refused straight away: "Nonsense! You don't even know what's going on, it's too dangerous for you to go there." Daiyu puffed her cheeks in disbelief and said, "You're just messing around! I It's a doctor, it's an epidemic area and not a battlefield, how much do you know better than me?" Huangfu Bingyan hesitated, but still firmly refused: "Anyway, you are not allowed to go, or I will get angry." Huangfu Bingyan usually behaves like this Said that Daiyu probably wouldn't argue with him anymore, but now Daiyu didn't give in at all, glaring at him and said: "I'm already angry! Huangfu Bingyan, if you dare to leave me, I will ignore you again Already!"

Lin Qingze stood aside, dumbstruck.A little sweaty looking at his girl.She's so brave, she deserves to be a girl from their Lin family.When Lin Qingze was in the capital before, he was in awe of His Royal Highness Yan Wang, and never thought that someone would quarrel with him like this.Huangfu Bingyan frowned deeply, looked at the coquettish and angry child in front of him, finally sighed helplessly: "I am worried about you." Daiyu said: "I will worry about you too, you are not just a doctor What's the use of people going? My medical skills are not bad anyway, if there is an epidemic, I can always help." In the past two years, they traveled around, and Daiyu's medical skills have been better honed and strengthened. practice.And he raised his son healthy and healthy.After being affirmed by several famous doctors, Daiyu still has some confidence in her medical skills.

The two people who refused to admit defeat seemed to have started a contest of eyes.Huangfu Bingyan's eyes are always calm and deep, most people dare not confront him.Daiyu's beautiful eyes, which are usually clear and clear, are rarely filled with firmness and persistence, and she won't lose at all when confronting Huangfu Bingyan.The corners of his lips biting slightly showed a bit of stubbornness, Huangfu Bingyan knew Daiyu well enough already, seeing her like this, he knew that he could not convince him.Just as she was about to say something, Daiyu spoke first, "If you dare to knock me out, tell me not to wake up, or I will go myself when you leave!" Huangfu Bingyan could only smile wryly in his heart, obviously Daiyu Yu also knew enough about him.But how could the little idiot think that he was willing to beat her?He just wanted to touch her pussy.
