Qiao Yi

A group of people went down the mountain, went to the teahouse at the foot of the mountain to pick up the carriages and horses left there, and took the carriage back to the city.It wasn't until almost noon that their carriage entered the city. The guards guarding the city saw the token and let it go without daring to stop it.

The carriage went all the way back to Prince Ming's Mansion, and stopped at the door.

"My lord, the princess has just returned to the mansion."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing the sound from outside, Xie Yin knew that someone had come back, and he couldn't read the book in his hand anymore. He closed the book, put it on the desk, got up from the chair, and wanted to go outside.Just as he was about to step out, he took it back, took two steps back and forth in the room, and sat back on the chair again.

As soon as he heard the sound from outside, he knew that the person who came back was going to the small courtyard next door, and did not come towards him. His Highness Prince Ming's complexion turned dark.

Seeing their master's face darken, the big housekeeper who was following him did not dare to speak.

At this time, Qiao Yi didn't know that a certain prince had been waiting for him all night, and now he was waiting for him to visit him.

In fact, it's not Qiao Yi's fault. Xie Yin is rarely at the house at this time of day, so Qiao Yi naturally would not have thought that someone was waiting for him to see him. If he knew, he would definitely have gone there as soon as he came back.

— After returning to the palace, Qiao Yi went back to her yard first.

He just came down from the mountain, not to mention sweating, his clothes were dirty, he took a shower first when he came back, changed into clean clothes, came out and sat down on the recliner, he didn't want to move anymore.

I'm exhausted, daddy!

I didn't expect that I went to climb a mountain, and I was so tired when I came back.

"Master, you have a cup of tea." The serving maids put the tea on the low table within reach of their master, along with three or five plates of pastries.

As soon as she got back to the palace, Zizhu never stopped, she was busy serving her master here, and cared about her meal there.She just went to the kitchen and came back, fearing that their master was hungry, so she brought some over and said: "Master, please eat something to fill your stomach. The servant just went to the kitchen to look at it, and the food in the kitchen will take a while." It will be good."

For the two servant girls, compared to Chun Xue, Zizhu was more thorough in doing things.

"Mm, good." Qiao Yi picked up a piece of dim sum and put it into his mouth. Yesterday he ate vegetables and tofu in the temple, but this morning he drank a bowl of rice soup and ate two steamed buns, so he was not full at all. My son's stomach is growling with hunger.

There are not many people in the palace, and they usually eat meals prepared in the big kitchen, and rarely start a separate cooking in the small kitchen here.Only occasionally when thinking about something to eat, Qiao Yi would let him cook something in a small stove.

But the meal in the big kitchen is not ready yet, so we can only wait.

"Hey, yes, is the prince at the residence?" Qiao Yi asked.

"This... slave girl, I'll go and ask." They had just returned to the mansion, but Zi Zhu and Chun Xue didn't know about it, so they had to go outside and ask.

"Oh, forget it, there's no need to ask. When Doctor Qiu comes back, you can let him come to see me." Anyway, it's not something to worry about. Let's talk about it when the person comes back, Qiao Yi thought in his heart, let him see me. People don't have to ask.

Seeing so many people in the room circling around him, he waved his hand and said, "I don't need anyone to follow me here. If you want to do something else, go do something else."

"Yes." Zizhu and Chunxue agreed, and went down.

It wasn't until the sunset was about to set that Qiu Mingyi returned to the palace from the medical hall. Knowing that Qiao Yi wanted to see him, he went to the courtyard where Qiao Yi lived when he came back.Seeing Qiu Mingyi approaching, Qiao Yi asked people to sit down and talk.

Qiu Mingyi answered "Yes" and sat down.

"I've been away for the past two days, how is the progress of the medical hall?" Qiao Yi asked about the renovation of the medical hall, and when he learned that the renovations were going well for the past two days, he nodded and asked: "I asked you to go and see the medicines in several pharmacies, have you visited them in the past two days?"

"Oh, I went to see it, and I just wanted to tell you about it." Qiu Ming thought that he had gone to see it, so he told Qiao Yi in detail about what he saw, "There is a store that sells Not bad, but the price is a bit expensive compared to others.”

"How much is it expensive?" Qiao Yi asked.

Qiu Mingyi compared the prices of the same medicine, but to be honest, the more expensive one must have better products.Qiao Yi thought about it for a while, and immediately made a decision in her heart, and said, "Okay, make an appointment with that Boss Hu another day.

Go meet and talk to him. "

Good things are naturally more expensive. If the quality can be guaranteed, it is acceptable to be more expensive.

After all, if there is a long-term cooperation in the future, this quality must be guaranteed. He is also open for business here, so he can't fool patients with poor-quality medicines.The most important thing for a medical clinic is its reputation. If it is not good, the reputation that has been managed with great difficulty will be gone.At that time, if the cooperation between the two parties is confirmed, it is best to sign a formal contract. This matter still needs to be handled by him personally.

For now, he wants to train a group of medicine farmers to grow herbs for him, which is not something that can be done in a short time.Their Qiao family used to have their own base for planting medicines and their own pharmaceutical factory, but those things will all be destroyed in the end of the world. Those things were built with the painstaking efforts of several generations of their Qiao family, just like that It's a shame it's ruined.

These things cannot be achieved in one step, but have to be done step by step.Right now they need to open the medical center first, and then discuss other things after running it, so for the time being, they will buy medicine from the outside first, and they don't need to invest so much and take so much risk.

"Will this be inconvenient?" Qiu Ming realized that Qiao Yi's status was not suitable for meeting a businessman.

"Huh? What's the inconvenience?" Qiao Yi didn't feel any inconvenience at all. He didn't know what Qiu Ming was thinking, and said, "No inconvenience. I'll have time here in two days. Let's make an appointment with that Boss Hu." Tomorrow he will go to Wang's house, and he may not have much time in the next two days.

It just so happened that it was time for dinner, so Qiao Yi stayed for Qiu Mingyi to have a meal together.

After the meal, the two of them sat down to drink a cup of tea and said a few words. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked Qiu Mingyi to go back first.

It's just that on this day, he waited until it was dark, but his prince didn't come over.

It's strange, usually at this time the person would have come back long ago, and the person would come to him as soon as he returned to the palace, why didn't he see him today?Qiao Yi felt strange in his heart.I wondered if that person was delayed because of something outside?

Forget it, he'd better wait a little longer, maybe he'll be back later.

Whenever night falls, the lanterns of the entire flower street in the West Street of the capital are lit up, and this street is full of flower buildings.At night, all the lanterns in front of the flower houses are lit up, and the flower houses are open for business. The girls' faces are smeared with thick rouge and gouache, their red lips are painted, and they are wearing light clothes. Greet guests.

"My lord, please come inside, please come inside."

"Boss Zhang, you haven't come for so long, you want to die at my slave's house."

On this street, Ningxiang Pavilion has the largest facade and the most elegant decoration. The girls in Ningxiang Pavilion are young and beautiful, and guests often like to go to Ningxiang Pavilion to drink flower wine.

Three or five elders in silk and satin walked into the Ningxiang Pavilion and went inside.

Hualou's old mother is good at doing business, and she can speak well with one mouth. She can't remember all the guests who came to their Ningxiang Pavilion once, "Girls, come and serve the elders."

"Yes." A group of girls rushed forward, coaxing the elders into elation.

In contrast to the hustle and bustle downstairs, the wing room upstairs is obviously too quiet.

Since His Royal Highness King Ming entered here, he has been sitting here drinking one cup after another.The most beautiful oiran in Ningxiang Pavilion sat there and played the piano for a long time, a certain prince didn't even look at the oiran, even the oiran's eyes were full of resentment.

The one who can be selected as the oiran of Ningxiang Pavilion must be a woman with good looks. How many princes and lords outside come to ask for a meeting with a lot of money, and the oiran of others even chooses someone to meet.

I didn't expect such a guest to come today. From the moment I entered the door until now, I didn't even look at her. I just sat in this room drinking for a long time. Can this not make the oiran angry?

The sound of the piano in the room became more and more disturbing. Xie Yin raised his hand and let people go down.

The oiran stopped plucking the strings, got up, saluted, and went down with her qin in her arms.After going out the door, the smile on the woman's face faded away, a thought flashed in her eyes, and when she heard footsteps approaching her, the woman put away her expression.

The serving maid came over and whispered, and the woman responded, "Understood, I'm going to change my clothes and go there."

It's just that there is a young man waiting to see her with a lot of money, and her mother asked her to meet him.

"Go back." His Royal Highness Prince Ming spent half a day drinking in the flower building, but all he could think about was the little princess in his palace.

There is no need to continue drinking this wine.

A group of people disappeared upstairs in the Ningxiang Pavilion. No one outside knew that a prince was drinking in this wing not long ago.

On the way back to the palace, Xie Yin saw a somewhat familiar figure from the back.He looked over with one look, and the guards who followed him understood, and followed the man away.

"My lord, the lights in the concubine's room are still on."

"My lord, there is also the servant girl who is serving the wangfei today to ask the lord if you are at the mansion..." The princess next door seldom asks if the lord is at the mansion. Is something to find their prince.

"The king knows."

Back in the palace, Xie Yin wanted to go back to the courtyard where he lived, but when he heard the words of the people below, he paused and turned to the courtyard next door.

As soon as he stepped into the small courtyard and saw the light coming from the room, Xie Yin knew that the boy in the room was still awake.He thought of coming back from the outside several times in his mind, and the boy was sitting under the lamp waiting for him, and his walking pace couldn't help but slow down.

Walked over in two steps in three steps, reached out and pushed open the door of the house...
