"What do you mean by that? Grandma also has good intentions." Qing Lian was unhappy. Now she truly respected and appreciated Ning Xianbi from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, she didn't like to hear other people say bad things about her, especially this person who doesn't know a good heart.

Still her sister.

"Okay, okay, no matter if you have good intentions or not, you can eat and drink in this palace, and only a fool would go out." Ruyi waved the handkerchief casually, dismissing Qing Lian with just one sentence.

"The key is...what do you think of that...Duan Mingyue..."

Qing Lian thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart. She could see the small thoughts in Ruyi's heart. Instead of letting this sister make a big mistake in the future because she couldn't bear the loneliness, it would be better to let her go free now.

Duan Mingyue is just an actor. No matter how good she looks or how good she sings, she still has a low status. If there is a woman like Ruyi for him, he will definitely cherish it.

Unexpectedly, Ruyi rolled his eyes and sneered: "What did I do to him? I just like to listen to him sing operas. What does my sister think? Do you want me to be with him? Are you crazy? I'll leave the prince alone.

You don't want to be a concubine, but you go and make do with an actor? You...you really dare to think..."

Qing Lian also blushed. She knew that Ruyi was the most greedy for enjoyment. Duan Mingyue, let alone an actor, even from an ordinary wealthy family, probably could not give her such a luxurious and leisurely life and status in the palace. No wonder Ruyi was annoyed, so

I just shook my head and said

: "That's all, since you don't agree, I will be proud of my grandma when I return. Don't be unhappy. I am also sincerely doing it for your own good. In this case, whether you like that actor or not, keep it in your heart. It will be a great success for you in the future."

Don’t make a big mistake by being hot-tempered for a moment.”

"Okay, don't I know how to behave? I want you to worry about this." Ruyi interrupted Qing Lian impatiently, thought about it and sneered: "Speaking of which, you are still worrying about me here. You'd better worry about it first.

Worry, see what happens

Let's go through Aunt Bai's test. This Zheng Li actually came to work as a handyman and told me that this must be a trap set by the person named Bai. She must have known about your funding and deliberately found it.

This person is here to harm you."

Qing Lian smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I have confessed to grandma, so even if Aunt Bai intends to harm me, she can't do anything about it. What's more, Brother Zheng is a handyman in the kitchen. What does it have to do with us? On weekdays, as long as we let him

Mrs. Su in the kitchen looked at her and said, "Don't you know about Brother Zheng? He must be safe in doing this job."

Ruyi snorted twice, stood up and said: "Anyway, you should be more careful. Don't let Aunt Bai catch you in the end. There will be no place to cry at that time." After saying this, he flicked the veil and walked out.

The day passed by in a flash. Shen Qianshan came back in the evening and the couple had dinner. Ning Xianbi discussed with him about the children and the elderly raised by Zheng Li. When Shen Qianshan heard that they did not plan to return to his hometown, he shook his head and said: "This is terrible.

It was a bit embarrassing. After sending the victims back, they

It's not impossible to stay in the capital, but it's just that there are no porridge cooks anymore. And beggars are not allowed in the capital. What will they do then? And they are unwilling to sell themselves into slavery. Although there are many nobles in the capital, most of them do not work long-term or short-term. As long as

If they enter into a death contract and be sold out, won't they have no way to survive?"

Ning Xianbi smiled and said: "I have an idea. Why not let those children help in the pharmacy. The pharmacy currently has enough manpower, but if we research more drugs, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Baicao Pavilion will also need more

Open a third or fourth store. We should also provide medicines when the time comes. Just let them practice their skills. When they are proficient, they can work, and the wages will be better, enough for them to support those old people, what do you think?"

Shen Qianshan thought for a while and nodded: "This is a good idea. Since Zheng Li is such a character as you said, I think the children he teaches will not do anything wrong, but you'd better wait a little and let me Find someone to test it out, your pharmacy is a top priority, lest the secret recipe be stolen again."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. I still have some worries. In the future, if I can live a good life, I will make these secret recipes public."

Ning Xianbi sighed. Many of the ancient medicine's secrets were lost just because they were precious. She didn't want to repeat this mistake. If these secret recipes were made public, it would definitely bring this ancient medicine to a higher level and achieve unprecedented prosperity. Get up. But now she has to prepare for the future disaster and save more money, so she has to keep these secret recipes. Once the future is stable, she will announce these secret recipes, which can be regarded as a time travel by herself, for this Make some contribution to the times.

Shen Qianshan didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing what she said, he couldn't help but be in awe and said solemnly: "How many people regard exclusive skills as life-like secrets that are not passed down, but Abi can have such a broad mind. It's really surprising. Thanks. ”

Ning Xianbi blushed at his praise and said quickly: "Needless to say, there are no such things. You can just ask two people to do this. Now that you are busy, why is it worth spending time on these things? It's just me. I haven't gone back to my parents' home in the past few days, and I haven't seen my cousin, but I don't know how their affairs are going. The Qiao family hasn't gone any further, right?"

Shen Qianshan said sternly: "I was about to tell you that although I didn't see Qiao Yu today, I heard that he handed over his badge outside the palace and wanted to meet the emperor. I think that's why he came here. Xuan My brother is very agile in his work, and after only a few days, he is now open and honest."

Ning Xianbi didn't expect that she would get such news after asking casually. She couldn't help but feel nervous and said quickly: "Then... what will the emperor say? Will the emperor agree if Qiao Yu takes the initiative to break off the engagement?"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Shen Qianshan sighed and shook his head.

Ning Xianbi felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Why do you say that? Didn't we say before that as long as Qiao Yu took the initiative to speak, this matter would be much easier to handle?" After saying that, Shen Qianshan said solemnly: "Yes. Ah, it's just much easier to handle, but I didn't say it will be done. Who is the emperor? Qiao Ming first proposed, but now Qiao Yu regrets the marriage, what's the matter? Could it be that he is playing tricks on him? "

"What should we do?"

When Ning Xianbi heard this, Shen Qianshan's words made sense, but this matter really couldn't be delayed any longer, otherwise the emperor would get angry and simply give Qiao Yu and Qi Zhilan a royal decree to marry. By then, the campus would be in trouble. Read the full text of "The Ultimate Madman", a good novel: Because of thinking like this, his face turned red with anxiety, and then he heard Shen Qianshan say: "Don't worry, aren't there still you and me? I will go to the emperor tomorrow. This is a two-pronged approach. , the certainty of this matter is still very high.”

Now she could only comfort herself like this, because Ning Xianbi didn't sleep well that night. She got up early the next morning and sent Shen Qianshan to the morning court. She was thinking about Jiang Jing and Qi Zhilan's affairs, and she just couldn't sleep. I couldn't concentrate on anything, so I simply stopped what I was doing and just sat in the yard in a daze.

By mid-morning, everyone in the Ningbi Courtyard knew that grandma was not in a good mood, so no one bothered her. Time passed by like this, and suddenly a daughter-in-law walked in and said with a smile: "Reply to grandma. .There is a young master of the Jiang family at the second door who claims to be your cousin and asks to see you. Aunt Bai sent a servant to ask grandma if she can see you? If so, where will the arrangement be?"

"cousin?"

Ning Xianbi suddenly stood up from the chair and said quickly: "See, there's no need to arrange a place, just bring my cousin over." After saying that, she said to Lu Hua: "Go and get what I brought back a few days ago. Let’s soak in the best Longjing and ask the kitchen to make some good snacks. We usually eat our cousin’s food, but it’s rare for him to come to our house today, so let him try ours.”

Lu Hua smiled and agreed. Here Jiang Jing was led by his daughter-in-law and came to Ningbi Courtyard. Ning Xianbi let him into the main room and heard him ask: "What? General Shen is not at home today? There is nothing in the Ministry of War now. Something?"

Ning Xianbi knew that he was still close to Zhou Xin, and it was not unusual for him to know about the Sixth Department, so she smiled and said, "Since my cousin knows that the Ministry of War is fine, hasn't he heard that our master has been transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs to help out?" Come on, cousin, try this tea. The old man gave it to him a few days ago, but he’s not willing to drink it yet.”

Jiang Jing took the tea cup from Ning Xianbi, thanked him quickly, and said in surprise: "Transferred to the household department? Oh my, this is quite busy. Who doesn't know that the busiest among the six yamen nowadays is the household department. , it is said that there are officials there who don’t go home for several days and nights in a row.”

"He's not that busy." After Ning Xianbi finished speaking, she winked at Luhua, so the little girl understood and took the other two little girls out of the house, while she sat on the porch and guarded the house in person. The brother and sister can talk freely.

Jiang Jing took a sip of tea and praised a few words. Ning Xianbi got straight to the point and said, "My cousin is here today, but what's the important matter? Tell me directly. Is it because of Qiao Yu?" She expected Jiang Jing. If nothing is wrong, he will never come to the door easily. As expected, after asking, the other party's expression became serious, and he nodded: "It is precisely because of this matter that I want to ask my sister to help me find a solution."

"Tell me, cousin." Ning Xianbi also took a sip of tea and heard Jiang Jing say seriously: "Yesterday evening, Gang Leader Qiao Er came to me directly..." Before he could finish, he saw his sister looking over in surprise. Then he smiled and said: "What's so strange about this? Gang Leader Qiao Er and I have known each other since we were at the border. At that time, I brought people to deliver food and grass to them several times. Have you forgotten?"

"Well, I remember it." Ning Xianbi suddenly said, "But you have no close friendship with the Qiao brothers. How could he come to you directly?"

"He already knows it all."
