Chapter 031: Cooperation
An Ning closed the small box, looked at Meng Chenxi, and said with a stern face: "Hey, how much money have you spent on building a new house?" I'll write you an IOU, and I'll pay you back when I have the money. ”
She had wanted to ask him about this for a long time.
Now that the road of her own medicinal herb dealer has begun, she must calculate many things clearly, and she can't owe more and more.
"I really don't know about this, but if you really want to settle it, you might as well write the IOU as a cooperation agreement. In the future, the output of the medicine field, we will be twenty-eight points, and the previous expenditures can be regarded as the sincerity of my cooperation. ”
Meng Chenxi put down the teacup and looked serious.
"Cooperation?"
"The cooperation between the medicine farmer and the medical center, you should imagine how many benefits there are."
An Ning frowned and looked at him deeply.
His eyes were just as serious.
"You're eight and I'm two?"
Slightly hooking the corners of his lips, Meng Chenxi pointed to the empty cup and said, "It's full." ”
An Ning lifted the teapot, bowed slightly to pour him full of tea, and sat down to watch him drink tea elegantly.
"If I'm eight and you're two, you won't starve to death?"
"So what?"
Meng Chenxi glanced at her, looked at her starry eyes, suddenly felt comfortable, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "You account for eighty percent, of course, this not only covers the output of the medicine field, but also your lion's mane mushroom cake and lion's mane mushroom drink." I'm going to take 20% of these. ”
"Okay!"
"You write down the agreement tonight and show it to me tomorrow."
"Good!"
Meng Chenxi picked up the tea, drank it all in one gulp, put it down, and got up to go back to the room.
An Ning looked at his back, stunned.
What exactly did he think? He was cold, but every time there was a warm side that moved her. Why did he help her again and again?
An Ning picked up the ledger and the small box and went back to the room.
After the grass in the distance, Feng Zhiyuan watched the people in the yard return to the house, and he walked out from behind the grass.
Xiao Nian looked at him worriedly, "Childe, let's go back." ”
Feng Zhiyuan nodded and returned to Grandma Sun's house thoughtfully.
They didn't notice that not far from them, there was also a person looking at the Gu family's courtyard from a distance. Yan Fenglin looked at Feng Zhiyuan in surprise, and his outstretched foot retracted.
Yan Xiaocha didn't lie, An Ning and Feng Zhiyuan really have nothing to do with each other, otherwise, Feng Zhiyuan would not have such a lonely back.
"Master, the white tiger was attacked on the road, and the escorted dart team suffered a lot of casualties, and the white tiger followed the clues to investigate the instigator behind it." Dark guard Tyson entered Meng Chenxi's room and reported the situation to him.
Meng Chenxi held the medical book in his hand and didn't raise his head, "What about things?" ”
"The white tiger has pretended to be taken captive."
"Well, I see, you go down."
"Yes, sir."
Tyson saluted and stepped aside.
"Wait, wait a minute." Meng Chenxi called Tyson again.
"Master, what else do you have to order?"
"You take a few people to hunt down Tai Sui's whereabouts, pay attention, be sure to make some movement. If we lose something and there is no movement, that person will be suspicious. ”
Tyson's face was straight and he nodded, "Yes, master." ”
"Let's go down."
Meng Chenxi raised his hand.
He had a gut feeling that this man was the one who had been running around with his nose in mind. Since the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, he follows the man's will and cooperates to play a good show.
Ninghe County, Feng Mansion, backyard.
Zhen Nan came back with a pale face, still holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
Zhuang Yuhan leaned on the chaise longue and glanced at him, "Did you get the thing back?" ”
"Yes, ma'am." Zhen Nan looked smug and put the small box on the small table next to the chaise longue.
He was injured a few days ago and was deflated by Meng Chenxi's hands, this time, he finally swept away the unhappiness of the past and happily killed the other party.
Ban Yu's eyes opened suddenly, a pair of autumn eyes flashed cold, Zhuang Yuhan hooked his lips and smiled, "You have worked hard, go down to heal." ”
Zhen Nan's eyes fell on Zhuang Yuhan's body with nostalgia, and nodded, "Yes, madam." With that, he left the room.
Zhuang Yuhan sat up, opened the box and looked at the contents of the box, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. This is Tai Sui, I heard that it can make people stay young forever and prolong their lives.
"Madam, this is Tai Sui." Her personal maid Xiaowei looked at the contents of the box curiously, she was Zhuang Yuhan's confidant, and Zhuang Yuhan would not hide anything from her.
Zhuang Yuhan raised his eyes, and swept away with a cold gaze, and Xiaowei was immediately silent.
"Xiaowei, get the silver needle."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Wei hurriedly went to get the silver needle and came back, and stabbed Tai Sui a few times, but the silver needle did not change.
Zhuang Yuhan looked at it and bowed his head slightly.
"Xiaowei put away the things, and let people send them to Luancheng tomorrow, the old marquis is not in good health, this thing is just right for him to condition his body."
Xiaowei looked at Zhuang Yuhan unexpectedly, "Madam, this is a good thing, I heard that it can make a woman's face last forever." ”
"This thing has one and two, we can't be stingy." Zhuang Yuhan is very generous.
She will return to the Hou Mansion in the future, and she is willing to give up this thing outside her body.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiaowei nodded, reluctantly closed the box, took it to the front of the wardrobe, and put it in the closet.
"Madam, it's not too early, Xiaowei is waiting for you to rest, right?"
"Hmm." Zhuang Yuhan got up lazily and walked to the big bed.
Xiaowei waited for her to sleep, closed the door, and kept vigil outside.
Zhuang Yuhan lay on the bed, sleepless, looking at the top of the tent.
She underestimated Meng Chenxi, she didn't think that he could go up to Damo Mountain, and she could really find Tai Sui from there. It's just that it's too easy to get this thing by itself, and no one in the world has really seen it
, no one in the world has really seen Tai Sui.
She was skeptical.
Could this Meng Chenxi want to lure her out?
Zhuang Yuhan is no longer as rash as she was back then, and after years of stinging, she has long had the habit of scrutinizing everything.
The more I thought about it, the more likely it was to be a trick, Zhuang Yuhan sat up suddenly, and Xiaowei outside heard the movement and immediately came in, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Xiaowei, let Zhen Nan personally send this thing to Luancheng, you go to him now." Zhuang Yuhan opened the curtain and beckoned to Xiaowei, "Come here, I have something to explain to you." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Seeing that she was like a great enemy, Xiao Wei couldn't help but start to get nervous when she looked cautious. Listening to Zhuang Yuhan's careful advice, he didn't dare to miss a word.
"Did you hear me?"
Xiaowei nodded, "Madame, don't worry!" Xiaowei went to do it immediately. ”
She hurriedly went to the closet and took out the sandalwood box, and hurriedly went to find Zhen Nan.
Her heart was slightly cold, she couldn't imagine that Zhuang Yuhan would even abandon Zhen Nan at this time.
Zhen Nan took people out of Ninghe County overnight, and after he was reminded by Zhuang Yuhan, people became more and more careful, but the white tiger's martial arts were strong, and he didn't notice it.
……
Early in the morning, Shi Dafu and his wife went to the county seat in the dark with their things, and with the failure of the previous day, they had no score in their hearts.
When they arrived in town, they took a carriage along the way and went straight to the county seat.
"Boss, can we go along this time?" The two got out of the carriage and looked at the lively county streets, and Lai's was a little uneasy.
Shi Dafu had no confidence, "I don't know, let's go down the street and ask one by one." I think that if peace can work, we should do it too. ”
Hearing him say this, Lai's heart was a little relieved.
"Then let's go."
"Hmm."
The two entered the first medical hall, and behind the counter was a young man, Lai's smiled and went up, and the young man was already one step ahead of her and asked, "This aunt, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
"Little brother, I want to ask, does your hospital accept dried chrysanthemums and lion's mane mushrooms?"
When the young man heard this, he knew that she was not here to see a doctor, but to sell things, and his face suddenly became a little bad, "Don't!" ”
"You haven't seen it yet, why don't you want it? I've heard that this chrysanthemum and lion's mane mushroom can be used as medicine after drying. Lai put down his burden and untied the rope, revealing the chrysanthemums and lion's mane mushrooms inside, "Little brother, look at these things, these are all hard picks from us on the mountain." In terms of price, we are negotiable. ”
The young man didn't look at it, "Don't! No! ”
"Hey, how did you ......?"
Shi Dafu grabbed Lai Shi and shook his head at her.
Lai's gave up and angrily tied things back on.
Shi Dafu nodded at the young man, "Little brother, I'm bothering you, let's leave." ”
The second, the third...... The two asked five medical centers in a row, but no one accepted their things. Some of those people said that their chrysanthemums were not sun-dried well, and they were broken a lot, and there were leaves and weeds with them. Lion's mane mushroom is even more unpopular, and no one accepts this thing at all.
They were all a little skeptical that this lion's mane mushroom could really be used in medicine.
At least the chrysanthemums are not sunburned well, and the lion's mane mushroom, it seems that not many people know about it.
Lai's beating eggplant like frost, he was tired, "Master, do you think this is an evil sect?" No one seems to know about this lion's mane mushroom, and we only know it by looking at the wild mongrel, tell me, how did the wild mongrel know? ”
The more you think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.
That tranquility is really strange, thinking about it, since Shi Dagui buried her, she seems to be a different person.
Shi Dafu shook his head, "I don't know either." ”
"Could there really be something wrong with the wild mongrel?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Lai said mysteriously: "Could it be that she is possessed by something unclean?" Your brother who gambles is unreliable, but he will not carry people who are not dead to the mountains and bury them. She was buried, but she could still survive, is there anything? ”
As she spoke, she looked around, only to feel a creepy feeling when she stood on the bustling street in broad daylight.
"This?"
Shi Dafu was also a little uncertain when he heard her say this.
"Forget it, leave her alone. You don't want to think about it, but if you get involved with her, we won't be able to eat the fruit. ”
Lai Shi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "You are stupid, if An Ning is possessed by something unclean and drives away the unclean one, wouldn't it be very easy for us to rub her round and flatten?" ”
"What if not?"
"That's... You'll have to try that, too. Lai grinds his back molars.
Shi Dafu was not as rash as her, and hurriedly stopped, "No! Then Meng Gongzi said, if it is good to move, our family will have no fruit to eat. ”
He was still very afraid of Meng Chenxi.
The husband and wife chatted while walking, and the more they talked, the more inconsistent their opinions became.
Lai's playfulness threw the burden on his shoulders, "I won't pick it, you go and ask yourself, if you say hello, come and call me again." "She was dying of exhaustion, hungry and thirsty.
Shi Dafu really sighed, shook his head, and left without saying a word, "That's okay!" I'll ask first. ”
Lai sat down, beating his feet and scolding, "Abominable Anning, I have to kill her when I turn around." ”
She didn't notice that someone was not far away who had followed the couple for some distance. Xiaowei saw that Lai's order was down, so she stepped forward to talk, "This aunt, are you selling things?" What's in this sack? ”
When Lai Shi heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that the other party was a girl with good clothes, so he smiled and said: "Girl, my bag is full of good things, and there are chrysanthemums in it that clear heat and brighten the eyes, and they are still nourishing."
, or nourishing lion's mane mushroom. ”
"Chrysanthemums and lion's mane mushrooms?"
"Yes, why don't you take a look at it first?"
Xiaowei nodded, "Yes." My lord has always said that he wants to sell some tonic and go home to stew soup for his wife, and the sons are often on fire, and this chrysanthemum is even better. Hurry up, you open it and show me. ”
When Lai heard this, he thought to himself, there is no endless road.
This time it's money.
"Hey, good, good! Girl wait. Lai Shi hurriedly untied the rope, Xiaowei pretended to pick up the chrysanthemum and lion's mane mushroom and looked at it, sniffed it again, and said with a smile: "It's really a good thing." ”
"How much does the girl want?"
"Auntie, how are you selling this?"
Lai's eyes turned sharply a few times, and he said with a smile: "Twenty taels of silver, all for you." ”
Xiaowei frowned, "It's too expensive." ”
Lai Shi was afraid that she wouldn't want it, so he hurriedly said: "Girl, this thing is not easy to come by, and I still have to carry it from Niujiao Village." Girl, why don't we each take a step back, how about eighteen taels? ”
"Auntie is from Niujiao Village?"
"What? The girl also knows about Niujiao Village? ”
"Know! I heard that you have a person named An Ning, who is now famous. ”
When Lai Shi heard this, his face was not very good, "Everyone doesn't know, that's a little slut, not as good as it is." She's just a wild species of unknown origin, hooking up with men everywhere. ”
"Auntie knows her?"
Speaking of which, she still wanted to call me a big uncle, but when she had the silver, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone. Who's lion's mane mushroom, she collects it, but she doesn't want me. Her father raised her for more than ten years, and she also colluded with outsiders to put her father in prison. No, it's still closed. ”
Lai's talking about tranquility is not, it is like a river, and it is endless.
Xiaowei looked at Lai's in surprise, "It's actually such a person, my sister-in-law works on an errand in Feng Mansion, I heard that the eldest prince of Feng Mansion almost married her." ”
"Well, you don't know, she's far worse than I say."
Lai Shi thought about it and grabbed Xiaowei, "Girl, do you want this chrysanthemum and lion's mane mushroom?" ”
"Yes! But auntie, you have to be less. ”
Lai was afraid that he would not be able to sell it, so he gritted his teeth, "Fifteen taels, it can't be less." ”
"That's fine! I see that my aunt is also a cheerful person, so it's fifteen taels. But, auntie, I can give you ten taels more, but you have to do something for me. ”
"Errands?" Lai's vigilance suddenly rose.
Xiaowei smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not asking you to do bad things, you can rest assured." ”
"So tell me what is going on?"
Xiaowei leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
Lai listened and nodded.
"Okay! I'll do it! ”
Xiaowei gave twenty-five taels to Lai's family, and left with her own things.
Lai took the silver and went to find Shi Dafu excitedly.
Shi Dafu was coming out of a medical hall with his head bowed, and when he saw Lai's coming empty-handed, he frowned and asked, "Where are your things?" ”
Lai smiled: "It's all sold." ”
"Sold?"
"That's right! There was a girl who bought it for twenty-five taels. ”
"What about me?" Shi Dafu pointed to what was on his shoulder.
Lai patted his thigh, "Ouch, look at my memory, I forgot you still have it." Okay, let's go find the girl. They searched the whole street but didn't find Xiaowei again, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they had to go home.
Twenty-five taels is a huge amount of money for them.
The couple returned to the village happily.
……
It wasn't until the night was almost at night that An Ning finished marking the acupuncture points on the wooden man, and she carried the wooden man into Meng Chenxi's room and placed it next to the bookcase, "Look, I'm done." ”
"It's a mistake."
"It's not yet the third day, so I'm on time."
Meng Chenxi put down the medical book and carefully examined the acupuncture points marked on it.
An Ning looked at him nervously, and as soon as he paused slightly, her heart suddenly hung and pounded.
Meng Chenxi seemed to be deliberate, paused for a moment, and then continued to look down faintly.
"Not bad! This time you have passed the test, and from tomorrow onwards, you will practice the needlework. ”
"How do you practice?"
"I'll teach you naturally."
An Ning nodded, took out a few pieces of rice paper from his sleeve, and handed them over, "This is a cooperation agreement, please take a look." If you don't agree with anything, tell me again tomorrow, and I will change it until you are satisfied. ”
Meng Chenxi raised his eyes and glanced at her, hooking his lips, "This attitude is good, please keep it up." ”
An Ning glared at him.
Meng Chenxi smiled, "Just praised, this is revealed again." ”
"Besides, I'll bite you!"
"Dogs."
"Humph!" An Ning snorted coldly and turned to leave.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's acupuncture practice.
The next day, An Ning and Yan Xiaocha came back from picking chrysanthemums, looked at the dozen or so chickens weighing about two catties in the bamboo cage in the yard, and asked Li suspiciously, "Auntie, what are these chickens?" ”
"Oh, this is what Meng Gongzi asked him to buy from the town."
An Ning turned his head to look at Meng Chenxi.
Meng Chenxi pointed to the chickens in the cage and said, "These are for you to practice acupuncture." ”
"Take the chicken to practice?"
"Every animal has acupuncture points on it, and chickens are the same. You don't use chickens, do you have to shoot directly at the big living people? You have that confidence, and I don't have that guts. ”
Meng Chenxi's face was stern.
Generally, those who study medicine practice acupuncture with chickens.
An Ning choked and did not speak.
Xin Quan and the others were drying lion's mane mushrooms, and Yan Xiaocha took the chrysanthemums to dry.
"Miss, this batch will dry up after another day of drying today, and the shopkeeper will come to collect it in the evening."
"Okay, I got it."
Meng Chenxi washed his hands, looked at An Ning, and said, "You come into the house with me, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll be right away."
The two entered the room one after the other, and Meng Chenxi pushed the agreement left by An Ning last night to the table, "I have already read this agreement, and I have also written it down if it needs to be modified." You take it and take a look, if there is no objection, you can make three new copies, and let's find Li Zheng to be a witness and sign this agreement together. ”
