Chapter 215 The Last Medicinal Herb
Soon the servant brought the person in. It was a little girl with a bun in her hair, wearing a blue skirt. She looked very cute, and was about nine or ten years old.
The next second, she muttered as she stepped forward and grabbed Uncle Yang's robe, "Grandfather, it's just a coincidence that you should give me some silver."
"Why are you asking for silver? Didn't I just give you fifty taels yesterday?"
The little girl shook her head, and the hairpin on her head swayed. "Isn't it all used up? The child of the tenant next door said that her family couldn't afford food. I asked her how much silver she needed for food, and she said fifty taels would be enough, so I gave it all to her."
"Fifty taels? For food?" Uncle Yang patted her head helplessly. "You have to know that an ordinary family can spend a year on thirty taels. Shanshan, have you been cheated?"
"How could that be? She looks so thin and her clothes are full of patches..." Yang Shanshan pouted and refused to admit that she had been deceived.
Seeing that things had come to this, Uncle Yang took her hand and walked over to Song Ci, "Song Ci, this is the Shanshan I was talking about. I am her granddaughter, and I leave her to you."
She also heard the conversation between the two just now. This girl is not a bad person, just a little willful and naive.
The elders in the family couldn't bear to criticize him harshly, so they had to take him out and find someone else to teach him.
Born in such a wealthy family, she still developed such a simple and lovely personality. You can imagine how spoiled she was. No wonder Uncle Yang wanted to bring his granddaughter out.
"What a beautiful sister." Yang Shanshan quickly got over the sadness of being deceived, and looked at Song Ci with her bright eyes without blinking. She had never seen such a beautiful sister before.
"Shanshan, are you willing to come with me?" Song Ci smiled gently, looked at her fluffy hair, and resisted the urge to rub it.
"Go out and play! I'd love to." Yang Shanshan looked excited. Ever since she came to Beijing with her grandmother, she was required to play only around the farm. She was tired of playing around everywhere, and when she heard that she could leave, she was so happy that she almost jumped three feet high.
He was just thinking about sending his granddaughter away, but now seeing the little girl looking heartless and eager to leave, Uncle Yang became unhappy.
"You're in such a hurry to leave, you won't miss your grandfather at all."
Yang Shanshan held Song Ci's soft hand, looked back at her grandfather with a sad face, and nodded obediently, "I'm willing to give it up."
Song Ci smiled awkwardly, and Uncle Yang felt like his heart was about to break.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."
When the two of them reached the door, Yang Shanshan suddenly stopped and said, "Sister Song, wait for me." Then she skipped to Uncle Yang, grabbed his hand, pulled him to bend down, and quickly left a loud "bo" sound on his face.
"Grandfather, I'm leaving."
Uncle Yang, whose face was covered with saliva, was both happy and sad. He was happy that his granddaughter was willing to comfort him, but he was sad that this brat was leaving. He suddenly felt a little empty.
Forget it, just go. I hope she can learn something and not be so naive.
He can protect his granddaughter when he is alive, but it is unknown whether the uncles and aunts under him will still be so good to her after he is gone.
After a trip, they brought back a little girl. Wanxiang and Tian'er were stunned. When they got back to the carriage, they heard Yang Shanshan's childish voice all the way, chirping like a happy lark. They quickly became familiar with her.
Yang Shanshan was simple-minded and answered whatever was asked. If Song Ci hadn't interrupted her, she would have told him everything.
Song Ci suddenly understood Uncle Yang's thoughts. This child was really too simple-minded.
After returning to the third room, he ordered someone to clean up a room for Yang Shanshan to live in.
Perhaps she was tired. Not long after she tidied herself up and lay down, she fell into a deep sleep. Song Ci could still hear her faint snoring while standing at the door.
She smiled slightly and walked out carefully.
"Please be more careful. She's new here and doesn't know the place well. If she needs anything, don't report it to me."
Wanxiang, Tianer: "Yes."
They would do these things without the lady's instructions, and besides, this little girl is really cute and they like her.
Song Ci returned to the house and dealt with this medicinal herb. There was still one left in the princess's hands.
So, how can we get it?
She rubbed her brows, carefully recalling the fragments of words she had heard in her previous life. Perhaps because of the passage of time, some of her memories had become a little fuzzy. She thought about it over and over again, and suddenly something flashed through her mind.
In her previous life, Song Rouxi was the Crown Princess. When she returned to the Song family to visit her relatives, she accidentally heard Song Rouxi mention something with a contemptuous tone.
"This eldest princess and her husband are seemingly in love but not together. Tsk tsk tsk... How dissolute."
Debauchery? Song Ci's eyes suddenly widened as she thought of a possibility. Could it be that the eldest princess had someone else outside? She quickly felt that this possibility was extremely high. The princess and her husband had no children except for Shen Qingman.
This is totally inconsistent with a loving couple.
This only meant that the relationship between the prince consort and the princess was not good. How could a princess like her willingly accept being ignored? Rumors had spread that the prince consort had a mistress, so it wouldn't be surprising if the princess had someone else outside.
Ordinary people would definitely not know such a thing. But at that time, Song Rouxi was favored by the prince and married into the palace, becoming the one and only princess.
The news she knew must be true.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly told Tian'er, "You and Pei Ji and the others, do me a favor."
"Miss, please give your orders."
"Help me keep an eye on the Princess's mansion. Remember everyone who comes and goes. I want to know everything. But, please don't let anyone find out. Can you do that?"
Tian'er thought about it and nodded, "If I were alone it would be a bit difficult, but the people Master Pei left behind are extremely good at disguise. With them, I'm confident I won't be exposed."
"Okay." Song Ci rubbed her head. She still had too few people she could use. If Le Yi hadn't given her Tian'er, she wouldn't know what to do now.
It seems that she needs to find some opportunities to find some people who can help her.
....
"Cough cough cough..." There was a violent cough in the carriage. Pei Ji's cheeks were stained with an unnatural blush, and his lips were as red as blood.
"Master! We have been traveling for three days straight. Even a healthy person can't bear it, let alone you who have been poisoned." Alin was extremely anxious.
Pei Ji finished coughing and slowly wiped his cough with a handkerchief. His eyes were cold and stern. "If you shout any louder, everyone will know that I'm poisoned and come to attack me."
"Young Master..."
"I know my own body." Pei Ji thought of what Song Ci said. If he delayed for one day, countless civilians would be killed on the border. As a person of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would never allow those barbarians to do whatever they wanted.
