Chapter 23 Qin wants to sell Jiang Yunzheng for a ghost marriage
Qin soon received another letter from her aunt.
Ask how things are going?
The Qin family no longer dares to kidnap Jiang Yunzheng, and Liu Da has not been found yet. What if the same mistake is made again?
Qin paced around the room with a pale face, and suddenly she felt a pain in her lower abdomen.
It seems that we need to take another drastic measure now.
The doctor diagnosed that Qin was just excited for a moment, so she had to stay in bed to take care of the pregnancy in recent days. Now, Qin did not dare to cause trouble for Jiang Yunzheng and Song openly, for fear that others would find out her flaws.
At this time, Qihuajuli.
In addition to the medical books she brought back from the Jiang family that day, she also found several rare books from previous dynasties in Shi Chaoqing's study.
Qi Zhenzhen was a premature baby and was underdeveloped. Jiang Yunzheng examined Qi Zhenzhen's throat that day and speculated that Qi Zhenzhen's oral disease was largely caused by the fire in the palace that day. Her daughter's throat was injured by the smoke and her Lingyanxue was blocked. In addition, Zhenzhen was weak to begin with, and some of the tonics she had taken in the past few days conflicted with the medicine for treating the oral disease.
The wound had been there for years and was so deeply hidden that some doctors couldn't see it.
As time went by, my body didn't get much better, but my oral disease became more and more incurable.
If you want to regulate it, you have to do it step by step.
But there is still one medicine missing to cure this disease.
At night, Wuyou returned exhausted and brought back two prescriptions.
This was written by Doctor Zhou himself. The recipe is different from the Thousand Poison. There is one more poison added to it. It seems that Qin can't wait any longer.
Jiang Yunzheng narrowed her eyes. How much money did Qin owe?
Wu Yu: "Madam, just as you expected, Qiu Nong took the prescription out and went to two pharmacies to get the medicine."
"I followed your instructions and swapped Qiu Nong's two original prescriptions."
Qiu Nong went to get the medicine. Regardless of whether the prescription would be destroyed in the end, at least the original prescription was in Jiang Yunzheng's hands.
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and said, "Well done."
Wuyue blushed slightly: "Young Madam, you are too kind."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Tomorrow you go find Wu Lu, and the two of you will take turns keeping an eye on Qin's men."
"yes."
The next day.
Jiang Yunzheng went to Qingfeng Courtyard to look for Song. When Song saw her, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Yang is making her hometown delicacies and was just about to call you over. What a coincidence."
In the small kitchen, Mrs. Yang was steaming beef.
Jiang Yunzheng asked, "Mom, is this a specialty delicacy from Jiazhou in Shu?"
Song was surprised: "Yun Zheng, have you eaten it?"
Jiang Yunzheng had indeed eaten it in her previous life, but she shook her head: "I've seen it in a book."
"Mrs. Yang is making tofu pudding, which is paired with beef steamed in a small steamer. It's sour and spicy and delicious."
In addition to tofu pudding, Mrs. Yang also made cross-legged beef.
Cut the beef into thin slices, put it into the bone soup that has been cooked in advance, cook some cabbage in it, and finally sprinkle some coriander and green onions. It tastes great.
Jiang Yunzheng had a guess in her mind: "Mom, are you planning to open a shop?"
Song and Mrs. Yang exchanged a glance and whispered, "Besides those shops, we also have to think about the future. Prices in the capital are high, and we need a safe and profitable way to make money."
These two delicacies have never been available in Beijing, so it would be a good idea to open a restaurant there.
Seeing Jiang Yunzheng's expression, Song Shi also had a clue in her mind: "Yunzheng, I'll ask the store managers outside to keep an eye out. If there is a suitable store, they can buy it first. You can help me check it out when the time comes."
Song's dowry included a bakery, a silk shop, a restaurant, and a farm outside the capital that managed two or three hundred acres of land.
Jiang Yunzheng said yes.
Jiang Yunzheng returned to Qihuaju and asked Wuyou and Hongyu to stay in the small kitchen first. Soon, Qin's people came.
Qiu Nong held a bowl of black medicine in her hand. "Young Madam, this is a new prescription that Doctor Zhou prepared recently. It contains ginseng, which is very nourishing. Drinking it will definitely cure your illness."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned and said, "Just leave it there. I'll drink it when it cools down."
Qiu Nong groaned, "Young Madam, just drink it. Don't make things difficult for us servants. Drinking it will make things easier for you."
Jiang Yunzheng looked much better these days, her eyes sparkling and she had a smile on her face:
"Qiunong, remember what you say now."
Jiang Yunzheng quickly drank the medicine, and Qiu Nong took his men away.
After a while, there was a sound of something breaking in the house, and two people dressed as servants slipped into the house.
"Oh my god, he's really dead."
"Hurry up!"
At the same time, a young woman wearing a veil walked out of the house and got into the carriage.
After a while, a large black box was quietly lifted onto the carriage.
Behind the gate, Qin finally felt relieved as she stared at the departing carriage. She said to Mrs. Zhang, "Qiunong is quite capable. Go to the bank first and ask them to send the money tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhang: "Yes!"
The carriage slowly drove out of the capital. This was the road to Hanshan Temple. When it was halfway there, there was a small road leading to Chen County, a suburb of Beijing.
Qiu Nong took off her veil and breathed a sigh of relief. After today's matter was settled, she would probably be assigned to serve the Third Young Master.
Thinking of Shi Jingtao, Qiu Nong blushed.
But suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the sound of horses neighing could be heard. The coachman said in a gruff voice: "Young Madam, the horses won't move. They probably haven't been fed enough grass. There's an inn ahead. Let's go and rest for a while."
The horse refused to move, and Qiu Nong had no choice but to agree.
The inn was located in the valley, with a tea stall at the door. The waiter drove a carriage to feed grass. Qiu Nong's eyes swept across the carriage. There were several tall men sitting in the inn. She suppressed her uneasiness and sat in front of the stall to drink tea.
The groom went to the backyard and opened the box immediately. Jiang Yunzheng was half lying inside, and he seemed to be in good condition.
Wu Yu quickly asked, "Young Madam, how do you feel?"
Jiang Yunzheng came out of the box. She peeked out through the crack in the door and saw Qiu Nong staring straight ahead. Jiang Yunzheng whispered, "Everything is going according to plan."
"yes."
After driving through this valley, the road ahead was as flat as a flat ground. The person who was to pick up Aunt Qin was waiting there. If Jiang Yunzheng wanted to do anything, this inn was the best place before this section of the valley.
Wuyue called out in a gruff voice, "Young Madam, please come over here."
There are not many people in the stable.
Qiu Nong stood up and walked towards the stable. As soon as the earth wall blocked her body, a silver needle pierced into the back of her neck and she slowly fell down.
Jiang Yunzheng tied the man up, and together with Wu You, put him into a box and lifted him onto the carriage.
But at this moment, there was an unusual movement in the inn, and the men who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time all rushed out with knives.
Jiang Yunzheng held Wuyou still.
The group of men surrounded the carriage with fierce eyes.
There were guards surrounding the carriage. The two sides were fighting, but Jiang Yunzheng remained motionless until she saw a familiar face.
She was the maid who served Yu.
That was the Xu family's carriage.
