Chapter 193: Tricks

When you get together with a few people, you can't help but talk about gossip.

Song Jin turned the conversation to Liu Jianfang.

Song Jin pretended to sigh and said, "Ambassador Liu is such an excellent person, and he is also very good-looking. I wonder which young man he will be given to in the future."

"That's right, young lady, what a nice person."

A maid said while eating cakes, "I have been working in Lianfang Court for such a long time, and I have never heard the eldest lady say that she wants to find a husband for the young lady."

"That's strange. My Lord, it's time to get married."

Song Jin showed a bit of curiosity.

Liu Jianfang was already seventeen years old, but the Liu family had not arranged a marriage for her.

This in itself doesn't make sense.

A woman guarding the gate whispered, "Mrs. Qin, you don't know that the young lady is engaged, but the other party has not come to propose marriage yet. However, it is not quite right to say that the family has no interest in marriage. Every year, they send gifts to the Liu family and even prepare gifts for the young lady."

Song Jin was unaware of this news.

People outside didn't know that Liu Jianfang was engaged.

Song Jin pretended to be curious and asked in a low voice: "Whose son is this?"

The woman said, "I heard it was..."

"What are you doing?"

A delicate cry was heard not far away.

The person who came was Xiao Huan, another maid of Liu Jianfang. She glared at them with a stern face, "Are you all lazy here? Have you finished your work?"

"Oh, Miss Xiao Huan, Madam Qin brought some cakes today, and we left a few pieces for you." A maid came forward to please her with a smile.

Hand the pastries in the box to Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan curled her lips and said, "What's so delicious about this cake? It's obvious that it's not as delicious as Zhengmingzhai's."

He said this, but his hands were doing it smoothly.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.

Eat while feeling disgusted.

Song Jin looked at her but said nothing. The most difficult person to serve in the whole courtyard was Xiao Huan, but she was not a bad person. She just had a bit of a picky temper towards other maids and old women.

At this time, Song Jin didn't stay long.

Go back to work.

The medicinal materials that Liu Jianfang brings back for preparation are usually rarely available on the market or are relatively precious, so the amount of medicinal materials is generally not large.

Except for the first time when we came, when we had seven or eight kinds of herbs, we were delayed because of the search for Trillium.

Wait until those are finished.

Next, one or two kinds of medicinal materials need to be prepared each time.

Like today, it's just the same.

After Song Jin finished his work, he went to the lounge.

His eyes fell on the medical books on the bookshelf.

She had not paid attention to these medical books before, or perhaps it was because the Liu family originally studied medicine, so it was not surprising that Liu Jianfang had medical books. As long as there was nothing mixed in the books, it was not worth paying attention to.

But this time when she was reading it.

Attracted by a medical book.

It's not the content, but the Song family emblem on the last page.

The Song family of Huizhou did not learn medicine.

The collection of books is very rich.

But when the house was searched, it was gone.

Liu Jianfang not only has the pharmacist's notes, but also a medical book? "What are you reading?"

A cold voice sounded behind him.

Song Jin was startled. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice someone coming in. She turned around and saw Liu Jianfang, who was wearing an official uniform and looking at her.

Song Jin quickly raised the medical book and said, "It's a medical book. Why are you back, sir?"

Liu Jianfang glanced at the medical book in her hand. She didn't mean to blame her, but seemed to be full of anger. "Those old guys are just looking for ways to find fault with me. They only prescribe the scarce medicine in stock."

The stock and quantity of medicinal materials in the herbal medicine warehouse are both considerable.

But there are still some people who are not human.

Intentionally consuming scarce medicinal materials.

The person who went to replenish the staff was the ambassador, wasn't she? Song Jin listened to Liu Jianfang's complaints.

After spending some time together, Liu Jianfang began to treat Song Jin as one of his own.

Song Jin listened quietly.

Xiaoxi nodded as she brought him tea and fruits.

He also prepared a bowl of tea for Song Jin.

The two of them started chatting again, and Song Jin suddenly said, "How about a drink? I heard that a drink can relieve a thousand worries."

Liu Jianfang was stunned. "I don't drink because drinking can easily cause trouble."

"Are you worried in your yard too?" Song Jin asked in surprise.

Liu Jianfang thought so too, "It's not necessary in my own territory."

"My lord, you have returned at this hour, so you probably haven't eaten yet. It's a good opportunity for the kitchen to cook some snacks to go with your wine." Song Jin went out and asked Xiaoxi to prepare.

It was lunch time.

The kitchen is also ready-made.

A few dishes and some wine make it happen.

Liu Jianfang asked Song Jin to drink with her.

Song Jin pretended to be a novice drinker and choked on the wine several times. Liu Jianfang found that he was in a better mood and drank a few more glasses unconsciously, but he was not drunk.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When you're almost done drinking.

Song Jin pretended to be choked by the wine again, and got up to pour tea from the coffee table.

With his back to Liu Jianfang, Song Jin pretended to be a little drunk and said, "This wine doesn't seem to make me feel better. It doesn't seem to make me feel better."

"Haha, Madam Qin is still so naive even after getting married."

Liu Jianfang laughed and poured himself another glass of wine.

Song Jin used his sleeves to cover himself.

He took out another clean tea bowl and knocked the powder hidden under his fingernails to the bottom of the bowl. Then he lifted up the teapot and poured out the tea.

The water fell into the bowl and quickly dispersed and dissolved the powder.

Not only Liu Jianfang and Song Jin are here.

At the door, Xiaoxi and Xiaohuan were still guarding.

In fact, both of them saw Song Jin pouring tea, but she was pouring it for herself, so they did not go forward to serve her. After all, they considered themselves Liu Jianfang's maids, and they looked down on peasant women from the bottom of their hearts.

This gave Song Jin the opportunity to drug him.

Song Jin handed a bowl of tea to Liu Jianfang, drank another cup of tea himself, and looked at Xiaoxi and Xiaohuan at the door, "Miss Xiaoxi and Miss Xiaohuan, don't you want to eat?"

Liu Jianfang didn't doubt it, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Yes, you two go have lunch, otherwise the people in the kitchen will say that you are too late and there is no food."

Thinking of something, a fierce look flashed in Liu Jianfang's eyes.

Song Jin lowered his eyelids and drank his tea.

There must be some troubles in the backyard of this wealthy family.

Not expecting that it would be so easy to send the two away, Song Jin did not pour any more tea.

Liu Jianfang only drank half a bowl of tea.

This was enough, and gradually, her eyes became blurred.

Song Jin came and sat down beside her, and asked in a vague voice, "Liu Jianfang, where did you get the Song's pharmaceutical notes?"

"Someone else gave it to me..."

Liu Jianfang murmured in response.

Song Jin asked again: "Who sent it?"

Liu Jianfang's eyes were still blurred, but revealed a hint of disgust, then she pursed her lips and said nothing.

This can only create an illusion.

It is not necessarily possible to get something to say.

Song Jin took out the medical book from earlier and asked Liu Jianfang where she got it. The answer she got was still that someone gave it to her.

Every time I ask who sent it.

Liu Jianfang always keeps his mouth shut.

"Did your Liu family give it to you?" Song Jin asked softly in her ear again.

Liu Jianfang shook his head, "That guy is a bastard..."

After saying this, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Is he going to fall asleep? Song Jin quickly exchanged the tea bowl in front of her with his own cup, and then poured the tea into the soil of the potted plant to cover the tea leaves.

Pour another cup of tea.

Even the tea bowl was washed with tea.

Now even the traces are erased.

Song Jin helped Liu Jianfang to sleep on the small couch, and then he sat on a chair pretending to be half drunk.

When Xiaoxi and Xiaohuan came over, they didn't suspect anything at all.
