Chapter 433: Drugging
The dog man is obviously not the former.
Huang Ying'er knew that she was weak and didn't have the ability to break up with that bastard yet.
She pinched her thigh, her cheeks flushed with pain, her eyes moistened, and she looked at the man: "I'm being helped. Since I promised him, I must keep my promise. Wait until I make the formula for pure glass and give it to him, then we can cooperate again."
The dog man frowned immediately: "What did you want to cooperate with me at that time?"
Huang Ying'er thought for a moment and said, "Improve the carriage and the spinning wheel to save the women's labor."
There was an expression of impatience in the dog man's eyes.
Apart from a good reputation, these two things have no substantial benefits at all.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and nodded, "It's my duty to keep my promise. Since we've already reached a cooperation, why don't I send two people to help you?"
He said he was there to help, but in fact he was there to monitor and control her.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Sponsor." Huang Ying'er smiled. "Well... I want to go back to the countryside to visit my parents. Can you send a carriage to take me back? I also want to buy some things for my parents, but I'm short of money..."
The dog man immediately ordered his men, "You accompany Miss Ying'er. All her expenses today will be charged to my account."
"Thank you, dog... Noble sir, you are simply the best person in the world." Huang Ying'er flattered him in a servile manner.
He turned around and skipped out of the alley.
The dog man gave a wink, and immediately two of his men followed Huang Ying'er away.
Wait until the yellow warbler goes far away.
One of his men respectfully asked the dog man, "Your Highness, Huang Ying'er looks like an ordinary peasant girl who has never seen the world. Can she really make purer and more transparent colored glass?"
The dog man glanced at his men and said, "How capable is she? Didn't you all see her clearly last night when she went to the Ministry of Works?"
Thinking of the glass bottle he had secretly seen last night, his subordinates' confidence increased: "Your Highness is wise. I will arrange it right away."
After Huang Ying'er left the alley, she started shopping.
She bought a set of expensive clothes from Tianyi Cloth Shop for each person in her family.
She bought everything she could need, including jewelry, rouge, powder, tobacco, candy and snacks from the silver shop.
Following her men, they took out banknotes one after another.
In less than an hour, he had spent nearly a thousand taels, and his hands were aching.
He stopped Huang Ying'er several times: "This is enough!"
Huang Ying'er's eyes immediately turned red: "I have been away from home for several months, and my family has been worried every day. I just want to make it up to them.
You said you wanted to cooperate with me, but you can't even bear to give me this little money?"
The subordinate gritted his teeth and greeted him with a smile: "Please continue to buy."
Huang Ying'er had bought enough things, so she asked her men to prepare a super luxurious carriage, and then she left Beijing and went home directly.

Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin were busy all day long preparing for the celebration banquet.
The county government erected the top scholar monument at the entrance of the village the day before the celebration banquet.
Fortunately, the day of the celebration banquet finally arrived.
Wen Yan got up very early.
Wen Yan hadn't had a good rest for several days, and she was yawning while eating breakfast.
Ying Zhilin patted her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Just get through today."
Wen Yan yawned again: "Everyone, hold on a little longer."
Around 9:00 PM, guests began to arrive.
Many gentry from nearby villages came with valuable gifts.
Classmates from Wutong Academy also arrived one after another.
Wen Yan took the time to ask Ying Zhilin, "Has the carriage sent to pick up Grandma Wu left? And Shanzhang Ji, Wutong Mountain is so high, it's not convenient for him to go up and down..."
Ying Zhilin said: "I have entrusted these matters to my senior brothers, so you can rest assured."
As they were talking, the people from the Liu family arrived, followed by their second sister Liu Ruxing.
"Second sister!" Wen Yan greeted her happily.
Wen Yan looked at Liu Ruxing and her daughter carefully and was very happy with their changes.
Especially little Fang He, who was wearing a pink dress and had two little pigtails. Her big eyes were lively and cute, and her mouth was red. She looked as cute as a lucky doll.
"I feel much better." Mrs. Liu took Liu Ruxing's arm and was genuinely happy.
Wen Yan said curiously, "Second sister, that... I'm very curious, are those dirty things about the Fang family true?" The relationship in that family is too messy. Except for Liu Ruxing and her daughter, there is no normal person.
Liu Ruxing covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a mixture of truth and falsehood. You can only catch shadows by catching the wind."
Wen Yan patted his chest and said, "My curiosity has finally been satisfied."
There are more and more guests.
People from the Meng family, Prince Tai's palace and Concubine Gong all came.
The Ning family and Madam Sheng both sent people to secretly deliver gifts.
It was noon in the busy time. Brother Dahu hurried to find Wen Yan and said, "Sister-in-law, the ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin at the ancestral hall. The clan leader wants you to go over quickly and participate in the ceremony."
"Okay." Wen Yan responded, pulling Liu Ruxing aside and admonishing her, "Second sister, keep an eye on it for me. I'll be back soon."
Wen Yan rushed out in a hurry.
The county magistrate's wife, who had always been the center of attention, stood up impatiently and said, "It's so stuffy in this room. I'm going to go for a walk outside."
Mrs. Liu immediately came forward and said, "Let me accompany you."
"Leave me alone for a while." She shouted impatiently and strode away.
She pretended to look around the yard and unknowingly came to the place where the women kept the wine.
She quickly found the wine jug used for toasting, and while no one was paying attention, she poured a packet of medicine powder into the jug.
"Madam, what are you doing here?" Liu Ruxing suddenly appeared behind her and asked respectfully.
"Ah..." The county magistrate's wife shuddered with fright and almost fell to the ground. "I...it's nothing, I'm just strolling around."
After saying that, she fled.
Thanks to everyone's help, the banquet went smoothly.
Wen Yan toasted everywhere, but fortunately her third sister-in-law secretly helped her so she was not drunk by them.
However, the strange look the county magistrate's wife gave her made her feel uncomfortable.
It was as if she was a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Wen Yan simply came up to her with the wine jug in hand: "Madam, is there anything written on my face?"
“No…no.”
"Then why do you keep looking at me?" Wen Yan asked bluntly.
The county magistrate's wife replied without hesitation: "Of course, I want to see how a fake rich girl like you can dance with your sleeves."
"Really? Then please treat the county magistrate's wife to a good meal and drink." Wen Yan filled her wine glass.
The county magistrate's wife looked at the wine jug and her pupils trembled violently.
After Wen Yan left, she pretended to be careless and knocked over the wine glass.
All the drinks inside were spilled.
The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it ended.
Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin sent the county magistrate and the county magistrate onto the carriage.
Wen Yan asked Pei'er to bring four small jars of wine: "This is the latest popular fruit wine in the capital. The two ladies can take some back to try."
The county magistrate's wife's eyelids twitched when she looked at the wine jar.
Wen Yan, could it be that she knows something?
