Sweet Beauty Chapter 44: It’s more money

The world is finally quiet.

Jing Shu finally left the White House and returned to Yingmei Villa to live her own life.

Although I still have to soak in the potion every day, but because my body has adapted to it for a while, the pain is not as intense as it was at the beginning.

She soaked in the hot spring and took a deep breath. She only felt that it would be better not to go back to Bai Mansion in her life. Thinking that her mother would definitely go to Beijing in the first half of the year at most, she must think of a way to solve the problem before that. It's good for the government, otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong for the mother and the younger brother or sister to live in the White House?

Thinking of her mother, Jing Shu sighed again, thinking that her mother should be about to give birth at this time, and I don't know what the situation is now...

Yuanling glanced at Jingshu and said, "With my grandfather and mother here, there is no special accident, and my aunt will be fine."

Jing Shu was relieved to hear this, and smiled happily: "You know I'm thinking about my mother again?"

She felt that Yuanling was really becoming more and more divine. No, she was quite divine from the beginning.

Aunt Yuan, um, master, she also said that "Aling often lives in the mountains, her temperament is simple but reckless", she is simply saying that a wolf is too gentle and kind...

Ahem, this is all a mess...

Yuanling gave a light "hum" and said, "Apart from Auntie, who else can make you look melancholy, worried, longing, and tender, isn't it the third son?"

There are absolutely no taboos, but Jing Shu has long been accustomed to Yuanling's way of speaking, and she will not be surprised or embarrassed at all.

Speaking of which, Jing Shu's current temperament is really influenced by Yuanling. She thought of Jiang Yu or said that Jiang Yu's thick skin was largely due to Yuanling's run.

Jing Shu smiled and snorted softly, ignoring her, but playing with the petals in the water, but she suddenly thought of something, so she couldn't help blinking her eyes and asked Yuanling: "Ah, Senior Sister, It is said that powerful doctors can tell whether the child in a pregnant woman’s womb is a boy or a woman, and your family is a genius doctor for generations, in fact, can you tell whether the child in my mother’s womb is a younger brother or a younger sister?”

Yuanling glanced at her and said with a smile, "I just remembered to ask now?"

"Your mother was too young when we left, less than five months old, and I was only about 60% sure...it should be a boy. Grandfather was more sure, but grandfather was never 80% sure. It's not easy to say."

Jing Shu was stunned, opened her mouth to look at her, and said, "Ah, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

Yuanling rolled her eyes and said, "It's my fault... You haven't asked me, and it's not a very sure thing, why should I say it?"

Jing Shu was speechless, she seemed to be right, just with Yuanling's temperament, if she didn't ask about this kind of thing, she couldn't come over and tell her...

But in Jing Shu's heart, although she thinks that she wants a younger brother to be good to her mother, she feels that even if she is a younger sister, she will protect her well.

It's like she's just a daughter who almost made her mother infertile, but her mother still loves her wholeheartedly, so she didn't allow herself to think too much about that before.

That's why she never thought to ask Yuanling. She just thought that her mother was about to give birth, so she just said it casually, and she got an answer from Yuanling.

But it's always a good thing. Jing Shu couldn't help but feel a little sore and swollen in her heart, and her eyes were even a little watery. Fortunately, they were soaking in the hot spring, so there was no need to hide it.

Yuanling looked at Jingshu's heart-wrenching look and couldn't help pouring cold water: "Don't be too happy, you only have a 60% certainty. Anyway, it's time for a letter from Shuzhong to come over soon. , just wait."

Jing Shu said "um", but her heart was not affected at all, she just felt extremely satisfied.

She doesn't care if that is a younger brother or a younger sister, but as long as her mother is good, even without her, she can live well in the future, she will be very at ease and happy.

Jing Shu was self-satisfied for a while, but when she remembered that she was still "concerned", she asked Yuanling, "Senior sister, the exam at the Taiyuan Hospital is in September, and it's only three months away. Next month, my father will be there. Submit your recommended application materials, how are you preparing now?"

Actually, Jingshu felt that Yuanling's medical skills were not a problem at all. She was mainly learning some Mandarin and the rules of the palace these days, so Jingshu didn't ask her any special questions on weekdays.

Yuanling's face froze for some reason after hearing this, and after a long while, she said, "Ah Shu, you know that those exams are not difficult for me at all. It's just... I'm afraid I won't be able to take the exam this time..."

Jing Shu was stunned, watching her and waiting for her follow-up.

Yuanling turned to look at the dark Changmei Mountain in the distance, and she was silent for a while before saying, "Our original family lived in seclusion in the North, although the North was hit by disasters, but my original home is remote and not so remote. It will be looted by the robbers, or the whole family will be slaughtered. It's just a traitor plotting my original family's medical book and ancestral recipes, and specially attracted the robbers..."

Jing Shu looked at her quietly. She knew that she must have hidden feelings when she came to Beijing, but Yuanling was not someone who couldn't survive. At this time, she told herself about this, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, Yuanling continued, "That traitorous uncle is a highly respected imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. I heard that he is also expected to be promoted to the hospital's envoy, so he has won the trust of the empress."

"It's just that the person didn't know that I already knew that the person who murdered my family was him, and he should not have done it himself, but his family, so I originally thought of being admitted to the Taiyuan Hospital, and then waiting for an opportunity. revenge..."

"Only now, I have changed my mind. I need your father's recommendation when I want to apply for the exam. My relationship with you is too close, and you may soon be engaged to the third son, I am afraid that I will enter It is not good for Third Young Master to go to Tai Hospital and attract the attention of the man and his family."

Although the man had led rioters to loot their family's secluded place, he couldn't find what he really wanted.

At that time, her grandfather happened to take his brother to collect medicine on the mountain, and her mother went to other villages to help people with diagnosis and treatment. She was the only one who was in the village at the time, but hid in the dark and witnessed the massacre.

The entire Yuan family was looted and her clan was slaughtered, including her father at home.

But even if they searched every corner of the Yuan family and searched every inch of the clan's secret land, they couldn't find what they wanted, the most important medical scriptures and ancestral recipes recorded by the Yuan family. .

Because those things are not in the ordinary secret places of the clan, but places where only grandfather knows the secret places.

They didn't find anything, so they tried to find their grandfather and a few of them. They hid in the mountains for a few days, but luckily the Third Young Master sent someone to look for them, and they survived.

Since that person didn't get what he wanted, if he was just an orphaned girl who went to Beijing and was admitted to the Taiyuan Hospital, they didn't know that they already knew the truth about their family's suffering, so they would not be in a hurry to hurt themselves, but they might get closer Come over and try to tell her what to say, check where those things are now.

But if they are afraid of their relationship with Jingshu, that is, their relationship with the third son, because there is a ghost in their hearts, they will not dare to let the third son come to power, and they will definitely do bad things on Queen Hua's side. She can't be because of her own family. Hatred affects the third son.

This, after listening to Yuan Ling's words, Jing Shu didn't know how to answer her.

If it only involves herself, she will carefully analyze the plan, see how to act, and then discuss with Yuanling, but the matter involves Jiang Yu, and she does not know many things about Jiang Yu, so she will Don't dare to make random ideas, so as not to affect Jiang Yu.

Jing Shu thought for a while and could only say: "Then, have you ever thought about telling the third son about these things directly? Maybe he will have a good opinion?"

Yuanling glanced at Jingshu, smiled suddenly, then stretched out her hand to squeeze Jingshu's cheek, and sighed, "Ashu, you are so pure and kind, so the third son likes you so much?"

Jing Shu was stunned again, this is inexplicable...

Just now Yuanling reached out her hand. It wasn't that she couldn't let go. It was just because Yuanling had just said such a tragic experience that she couldn't bear to let go. She just didn't expect that she would suddenly change from the depression just now. This look...

Yuanling looked at Jingshu's dazed appearance, sighed, and said, "A person like the third son, can he not know about these things? I'm afraid he already checked it out when he rescued our family. I went to Beijing. , since he is with you, I am afraid that he will know all the whereabouts like the back of his hand... He does not say anything, so naturally he wants me to weigh the choices myself."

If what I do is not good for him, he will not hesitate to remove me.

When Yuanling was in the Northland, she had seen Jiang Yu act and was deeply impressed by his ruthless methods. At that time, her brother had used poison to help him do many things.

Jing Shu pursed her lips and said, "If you don't ask, what will he say? He's not as... scary as you think, he's fine."

Yuanling let out a rare burst of laughter and said, "Ashu, he's just being so nice to you, but..."

She gradually lost her smile, and her eyes gradually became distant.

However, nothing is good without a price, as long as you both love each other, the price is nothing.

The third son is her benefactor. Even if she cares about Jing Shu very much now, the third son's relationship is not something she can talk about.

Besides, she also has her own selfishness. If she wants revenge, it is difficult for her to succeed by herself. After weighing it again and again, relying on the third son and borrowing his strength is the best choice, but he does not need her that much, so She actually "used" Jing Shu.

But she doesn't feel guilty, because she uses Jing Shu, but she will try her best to give her more, and she knows Jing Shu is actually very clear about this.

Only, feelings are another matter. Jingshu has a pure and kind nature, but she is not weak and procrastinating in her actions. She has a great appetite for Yuanling. After spending a long time with her, it is hard not to like her, even if she is a self-confessed cold-hearted person like Yuanling.

Yuanling turned around, swam to the side, leaned on a big rock, her face was looming in the dim light, she was silent for a long time, and said: "Ah Shu, people like you can hate white people so much. The government, there must be a very important reason, if the evidence is conclusive, the shot should be ruthless, and don’t have the slightest scruples.”

"Relatives, relatives, sometimes hurting people is the most vicious and lethal, but it is wrapped in various reasons, all kinds of helplessness, all kinds of last resort..."

Jing Shu felt a pain in her heart, my relatives, sometimes they obviously killed you to death without a burial place, but they were wrapped up with various reasons, all kinds of helplessness, all kinds of last resorts, and it was only natural for you to die.

Seeing Jingshu's gloomy expression, Yuanling sneered and continued, "Do you know who the traitor I'm talking about is? Outsiders won't know the secret place of our clan, that person is my church. My sister's fiancé."

"Although our original family was famous in the North, my grandfather had a weak nature and was not interested in anything other than medicine. My father followed my grandfather, and the same was true."

"But that's not the case with my uncle. My uncle always felt that it was a waste to have a medical skill without making a name for himself, so he left the family's seclusion when he was young and went outside. Unfortunately, there were wars and chaos outside. As a result, when he came home ten years later, he was crippled and seriously ill. He also came back with my aunt and a little cousin. The little cousin also had a relationship with another famous medical family in the north, the Tian family. The son is engaged."

"The Tian family was originally a family of imperial physicians in the previous dynasty, and they were also very 'skilled'. After the establishment of the new dynasty, they were recommended by the Queen's family, the Hua family, to become the imperial physician of the new dynasty. The largest medicine store in the north is Tian's medicine. OK. My grandfather never liked the Tian family, because although the Tian family made a good statement on the outside, they were sloppy on the inside. He even went to my family several times to buy my family’s ancestral prescriptions and medical books at high prices, but my grandfather refused. "

"My uncle knows all these things, but he still made my cousin and the Tian family betrothed. After my uncle died of illness, my grandfather has a lot of pity for my cousin. Although he doesn't like the Tian family, he is also kind to the son of the Tian family. After a lot of sex, he is often allowed to stay at home. But I don’t want to cause such disasters in the future.”

"My clan's secret place is not known to ordinary clan people."

Speaking of this, Yuanling suddenly smiled again. The smile was very intimidating. She said, "You know what? My family was slaughtered, but my aunt and cousin were not dead. I followed the Tian family to the capital, and not long ago I found out that my cousin is still living in Tianfu as his fiancée."

Jing Shu was horrified.

At the same time, there was a quiver in her heart, the Tian family of the Taiyuan Hospital, isn't it?

In her previous life, she escaped from Zhuangzi, but she did not go directly to Duke Ling's mansion. When she learned that "Mrs. Shizi" of Duke Ling's mansion was still stably pregnant in the mansion, she was shocked and didn't know why, but she didn't know why. Dare to go back to Duke Ling's mansion to ask questions, I first inquired about the situation of her parents' Bai family, but found that everything in the Bai family was as usual, except for the vaguely heard that the mother was not in good health, but the others were all very well, and it could even be said that the Bai family was upright." thriving"...

So naturally, she didn't dare to go back to Bai's house, so she wondered if she could find her uncle's house first and then inquire about the situation. Only after inquiring did she find out that her uncle's family had returned to Shuzhong not long ago.

She took a lot of trouble to find her uncle's old servant who stayed in Beijing, only to learn that her cousin Youhui had hanged herself, and her uncle and aunt were sad and brought Youhui's body back to Shu, because, It was Yuhui's last wish.

Jing Shu and You Hui also grew up together. They were of the same age, and their relationship has always been very good. She was in a bad condition at the time. She was beaten one after another, and her heart was almost numb. In the bottom of my heart, there was a piercing pain from the numbness.

Youhui has always been cheerful and lively, how could she hang herself?

But when I asked, the old servant didn't know very well. He only vaguely said that it seemed that a master from a large family in the Taiyuan Hospital had taken a fancy to Youhui and wanted to take Youhui as a concubine, but Youhui was unwilling, so he was forced Hang himself. That family seems to be surnamed Tian...

It's a pity that she was useless in her previous life and could not do anything for you.

When Jing Shu thought of this, the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze.

Yuanling looked at Jingshu and her face turned pale after hearing her words, thinking that she was shocked by her words, she sighed inwardly, slowed down her voice, and said, "Jingshu, you don't have to feel sorry for me, I'll tell you. These are not to share your thoughts with you. I just tell you that sometimes, when you find something wrong, don't hesitate because the other person is your relative, otherwise the consequences may be more terrible than having an enemy."

"At that time, our original family was looted and slaughtered. Grandfather only hated why he didn't deal with it in time when he found out that his uncle and aunt were doing something wrong. Unfortunately, what's the use of that? In the future, I will use medicine to treat my aunt and aunt. If my sister becomes a medicine person, let them live in endless pain and torture in this life, that will not change what happened in the past."

Jing Shu looked at Yuanling and listened to her lightly speaking unusually cruel words, but she didn't think it was too much. will let them go!

She couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, what kind of people are there in the Tian family? They, only mere imperial physicians, dare to do whatever they want, because, because of Queen Hua's power?"

Yuanling chuckled lightly, as if thinking about something and said, "Queen Hua's power is part of it. The Tian family is good at business and has formed a lot of parties. Every year, the pharmacy and pharmacy have huge profits, and many are willing to cooperate with them... "

I didn't answer what Jingshu said about the people in the Tian family. Also, this kind of big family has intertwined roots and branches, and the branches are complicated.

Jing Shu was silent for a while, and slowly came up with a plan in her heart. She didn't want Yuan Ling to indulge in old things at this time, and instead asked: "Then, Senior Sister, if you don't go to the Tai Hospital, what are you going to do next? "

Yuanling saw that Jingshu's face was still heavy, probably because she didn't want this to affect Jingshu's mood, she chuckled lightly, stretched out her hand to play the water splash, and said, "The Tian family's influence in the Taiyuan Hospital is deeply rooted, and they have won the trust of Queen Hua. Seriously, when I entered the Tai Hospital, I was fighting alone. If I was not careful, I might have been killed. It doesn't matter if I died, but it is too embarrassing to be killed before I get revenge. Now, since you are supporting me, I am anxious. What, the world is ever-changing, and waiting for an opportunity is the best policy.”

Jing Shu looked at Yuan Ling, even though she just said something like that, but she was not at all hostile. Although she seemed cold and vicious, Jing Shu often felt that she was like a knife made of ice crystals. She is sharp, but very clean and thorough, free from dust, and she treats people with clear grievances, which always makes Jing Shu feel a different kind of warmth and trustworthiness.

Jing Shu said "um", nodded, and said seriously: "Then you can live slowly, it's better to find more entertainment, you know I don't have anything else, it's just that my mother gave me more money. ..."

Actually, it's not just that Mrs. Chen has given Jingshu a lot of business. Jingshu has learned so much about business, business, and shop management. She also has some memories from her previous life. She returned to the capital for a few months. She has done a lot of actions in private, and now she is really rich...

After talking with Yuanling that day, Jingshu didn't put the matter down. She went back to her room and carefully filtered the things about Youhui in her previous life. The affairs of the Tian family in the Taiyuan Hospital, the main personnel of the Tian family, the situation of each room, each person's character, then the relationship between the Tian family and Queen Hua and the concubines in the palace, and the relationship between the Tian family in Beijing and the various prefectures, etc., the more detailed the better.

Winter Shadow is Jingshu's close guard. She never takes a few steps away from Jingshu, and she has good eyesight and ears. She also listened to the conversation between Jingshu and Yuanling that day, so she only listened to her. When Jingshu was investigating for Yuanling, she did not suspect it, so she sent someone to investigate without mentioning it.

Speaking of Jingshu often asking Dongying to investigate various things, in fact, Jingshu did not use Jiang Yu's human and material resources indirectly through Dongying, but she knew Dongying's ability and allocated a lot of money to Dongying Shadow, let her train people, and even bought some restaurants and teahouses in Beijing to facilitate inquiries.

Even though Jing Shu let Dong Ying do these things, or Dong Ying asked for help from others, Jing Shu didn't ask questions, she would always inquire carefully, and she learned a lot in the process.

Of course, cultivating manpower and information bases did not happen overnight. Even in some of the things that Winter Shadow is helping Jingshu do now, she still often relies on Jiang Yu's power, but Jingshu doesn't mind and is not discouraged. In any case, she is always working hard bit by bit, trying her best to do what she can, and improving her strength and ability bit by bit.

********

June 15, Chiba Temple.

Jing Shu will go to Chiba Temple on the 15th day of every month to offer incense to the Buddha, and this month is no exception.

The incense in Qianye Temple is very strong. Jingshu usually avoids crowded times. Yin Shi will bring Bi Xuan, Winter Shadow, Qian Mei, Qian Xue and a few guards up the mountain. At the beginning of the mountain, it was the time when the most pilgrims went up the mountain.

Occasionally when Jingshu gets interested, she will let Bi Xuan and the guards wait outside. She brings Dongying and Qianmei Qianxue to the medicine garden in the back mountain of Qianye Temple. Although Qianye Temple does not Although it is particularly large, it is an ancient temple that has gone through several dynasties. The medicine hall has a long history, and the medicine garden in the back mountain has many precious medicinal herbs.

The medicine garden is not open to the public, but the master of the medicine garden is a medicine idiot. Once Yuanling came over, he got his eye, and they talked very happily, so he invited them to visit the medicine garden, and they got to know each other gradually. When Jingshu came over on the 15th day of the first day, she was occasionally entrusted by Yuanling, so she went to the medicine garden to pick some herbs for her. Of course, Yuanling had other things to give to the master of the medicine hall in exchange.

It's just that when Jing Shu came out of the medicine garden today, she unexpectedly met someone.

When Jingshu walked out of the medicine garden and walked towards the temple, she heard a person behind her calling her "Cousin Weijia". Although the voice was long gone, it still made Jingshu immediately identify who it was.
