After Gao Bisheng collected the money, how could he still dare to delay?
Early the next morning, he sent his eldest son over.
In addition to five pounds of panax notoginseng and five pounds of dendrobium, I also brought two baskets of other earthenware items, including seasonings such as dried chili peppers and star anise, two pieces of batik cloth, and two bundles of dried rice noodles.
It's not a valuable item, otherwise I wouldn't dare to send it, as if it's to earn twice the price difference.
Brother Jiu was not at home, and Shu Shu was about to come out. When he heard about the visitor, he came over to meet him.
Princess Kejing had a rash a few days ago and is recuperating at home. She sent someone over yesterday to tell her that she will go visit today.
Therefore, she happened to be wearing clothes for going out, which was more convenient for meeting guests.
The eldest son, Gao, was twenty-seven or eight years old and was a bodyguard under the Five Banners.
Gao Bisheng didn't come over in person, not because of entrustment, but because that's the rule.
Not under the banner, the ministers did not dare to directly hook up with the prince, to avoid suspicion.
Talking in the garden is nothing, in full public view; but in private, you have to guard your tongue.
Guard Gao was very respectful and said: "My servant Amma is very uneasy after accepting Master Jiu's money. He has already sent a letter to Yunnan, asking his colleagues there to send Panax notoginseng and Dendrobium to Beijing to make up for the shortfall. Several other earthly rituals, This is the filial piety of my slave Ama.”
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu discussed it yesterday and planned to arrange for people to go to Yunnan.
The tea plantation has grown in scale and will produce benefits within two years, so it needs reassuring people to keep an eye on it.
By the way, these Yunnan medicinal materials can also be purchased locally. It is not for profit, but it is good to prepare them.
The journey is too long, five or six thousand miles, which is no longer within the scope of ordinary merchants.
Eight Banners officials do not know how to make a living and do not have this awareness.
Han officials read the books of sages and believed in the "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants" and despised the behavior of merchants.
Since they have tea gardens anyway, they can take care of the medicinal materials as well.
After hearing what Guard Gao said, she hurriedly said: "Don't bother me. Master Jiu is about to arrange for people to go south. It will be more convenient to buy it directly."
This is a taster, and you cannot directly reward tea bags.
Shu Shu had already asked Walnut to prepare a purse before, so he said, "Guard Gao, could you please run over and take these two little things as a reward?"
Guard Gao answered respectfully.
Shu Shu serves tea to see the guests off.
When the high guard came out from his elder brother's house, he rode away.
Although this place is outside the imperial garden, no idlers are allowed to stay.
When they arrived at home, Guard Gao went directly to see Gao Bisheng and said, "Master Jiu is not here, but Jiu Fujin was very polite and rewarded him with something."
Although it is said to be a "little thing", it is indeed not big.
It’s just two soapstone seal materials.
One is withered and will be granted a title immediately, and the other is a deer head, which means good luck.
Gao Bisheng said: "Since it's a gadget, just keep it yourself."
Guard Gao said: "Ama, you have not been in Beijing for the past two years. You don't know that this is the popular chicken blood stone material. It is of this size, full of blood material, and does not wither. It is available in the market for dozens or twenty taels. Look. The workmanship is so exquisite that it must have been made by an in-house manufacturer. It won’t be able to be beaten even if it is doubled. The two of them add up to dozens of taels of silver!”
Goldman Sachs felt a headache.
One day's work was enough for him to find out about Brother Jiu.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the beloved son of the emperor, the beauty lamp, the God of Wealth...
Prince Zhuang's Mansion faced off, and Prince Zhuang's Mansion suffered a loss.
Xinjun Prince's Mansion is facing each other, and Xinjun Prince's Mansion is shameless.
When Ba Beile confronts him, he becomes Ba Beizi.
Three Baylor faced each other, and he was not demoted, but he was given a serious offense.
The royal family prince and the prince's elder brother are like this, how can it be offended only by ministers and slaves?
Avoid it.
This is a great advantage.
He nodded and said: "Keep it, wait until I write to Yunnan later."
The capital is five or six thousand miles away from Yunnan, and it takes several months for letters to go back and forth. If you want to get things sent to the capital, it will take half a year.
Guard Gao said: "Amma, there is no need to write the letter. According to Jiu Fujin, Master Jiu will arrange for someone to go to Yunnan."
After hearing this, Gao Bisheng thought of Brother Jiu's ten thousand acres of tea garden, and understood what was going on.
He said: "That's it. I'll be more respectful to you when I meet you in the future. There's no need to offend, flatter, or violate taboos."
Guard Gao is the third-class guard of Sunu Beizi Mansion. Although he did not see Brother Jiu and Jiu Fujin show off their power in Beizi Mansion, he heard everything about it.
He nodded and said: "You should avoid it. This man does what he wants, and most people can't stand it. Even Master Beizi was made disgraced a while ago, and he couldn't care less..."
The father and son were talking when there was movement outside.
It was the concierge who came in to report that someone was coming from outside. It was the ceremony of Babeizi Mansion who wanted to see Gao Bisheng.
Father and son looked at each other, quite surprised.
We just dealt with the Ninth Prince yesterday, and today we have Babeizi again?
Guard Gao said: "The Eighth Master used to have a good reputation. In the past two years, he has been implicated by the Eighth Fortune Jin. He has made many mistakes and was responsible for negligence, so he was demoted to Beizi."
Goldman Sachs had been working abroad before and was unfamiliar with the relationship in the capital.
He was still puzzled and said: "That has nothing to do with our family..."
He invited the ceremony to come over, and then he knew the purpose of the other party's visit.
It turns out that the other party came to Gao Bisheng to inquire about Sanqi at the request of Eighth Prince.
"We are dispensing medicine in Fujin. The imperial doctor said that it is best to use Panax notoginseng that has been aged for ten years or more, and even better that is fifteen to twenty years old. There are not many Panax notoginseng aged in the capital pharmacy, so we cannot use old medicine. I heard that Sir When he came back from his post in Yunnan, Master Ba sent his servant to ask if the soil ritual he brought with him was thirty-seven years old."
After hearing this, Gao Bisheng looked at the ceremony several times.
Is this really a coincidence, or are brothers fighting each other and using themselves as rafts?
No matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with you, so don’t get involved.
He told the truth: "I brought back a total of ten kilograms of Sanqi. I don't know how old they were. I heard they were ten-headed, with one and two halves at each end. Unfortunately, five kilograms of them went to Beizi Mansion. The other five pounds were bought by Master Jiu when I met him in Changchun Garden yesterday."
The ceremony also showed an unexpected look.
This tall man arrived in Beijing just the day before yesterday. He rushed over after getting the news, but he was still a step late.
Now that things have entered the Beizi Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, they can't be bought with money, but also with favors.
It's not up to him to decide exactly what happens.
He said: "Then don't bother Mr. Gao, I will go back and restore the eighth master..."
*
The fifth house in the south is the main room.
Princess Kejing was wearing homely clothes. The rash on her cheeks was very obvious, and there were some marks on her neck. Her eyes were black and blue, and her spirits were low.
Shu Shu was actually very confused.
This kind of eczema is either caused internally, due to low immunity, or it is caused externally, such as pollen and dust.
But Princess Kejing is different from Jiu Gege. She is not slender and weak, but very muscular.
What about external reasons?
It’s been a month since Princess Kejing returned to Kyoto, and it’s long past the time when the pollen is at its worst.
There was no response then, why is there a response now?
She was soft-hearted, thinking about the meeting gift that Princess Kejing had brought back and the 100-day gift prepared for her three children. She was a little more concerned and asked: "What did the imperial doctor say? Is my sister tired? Do you want to be adjusted? Foundation?”
Princess Kejing looked at Shu Shu, her eyes a little wandering.
Seeing the sincere concern on her face, Princess Kejing waved her hand and sent the girls away.
Then, she whispered to Shu Shu: "I've been in a dilemma these past few days. I don't know who to tell..."
After saying that, she got up and went into the back room, took out a bottle of perfume, and said, "This is the culprit!"
It's a bottle of Western perfume, with light golden perfume inside.
Shu Shu picked it up, looked at it, and hesitated.
This kind of perfume is sold in foreign goods shops in Shifujin, except for customs from other places entering Beijing.
She opened it and smelled it. It was a common rose perfume, but the smell was stronger.
Princess Kejing hurriedly snatched it away and said angrily: "You dare to try anything?"
She put on the perfume and took a clean towel to wipe Shu Shu's hands.
Shu Shu felt a little confused.
I was afraid that something bad would happen to Shi Fujin.
She considered it and said: "Sister sent someone to buy it? Do you want the imperial doctor to take a look and see if there is anything inappropriate? Who is handling it? We must also guard against anyone adding..."
Princess Kejing couldn't help but smile bitterly, pointed to the dark circles under her eyes and said, "Look, I haven't slept well for three nights, I'm afraid I'll suffer some disaster!"
If there was something in these words, Shu Shu would look over.
Princess Kejing had no clue and wanted to find someone to discuss it with, so she said, "I would like to ask if there is any quarrel between the Crown Prince and Lao Ba? Or has the Anjun Prince's Palace offended the Crown Prince in the past two years?" The place?"
Shu Shu glanced at the perfume bottle.
Is this the perfume that the prince gave to the eighth prince?
Eighth prince passed it on to Princess Kejing?
She thought about it carefully and said: "The eighth elder brother has always been kind to others. Except for our father, he has never had any blushes with other elder brothers. As for the prince, I have never heard of him having a confrontation..."
At this point, she pointed to the east and said: "But he is the adopted son of Concubine Hui's mother, and his relationship with Prince Zhi is closer. Is it because of this that the prince dislikes him?"
Princess Kejing frowned. She had thought about this possibility for the first time, but thought it was too childish.
If the prince is really intolerant of his brothers, wouldn't it be better to attack the eldest brother directly?
The eighth prince himself was not of a good background, and his heirs had no interest in the prince.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "I heard that the side Fujin in Babeizi Mansion is from Ma Qi's family. Have your siblings met him? How is he doing?"
In addition to being suspicious of the prince these days, she also suspected that the eighth prince was in chaos in his house, which was the result of internal strife and conspiracy to harm the eighth prince.
Although the miscarriage before Bafujin left some symptoms, at this age, there is no guarantee that it will be cured in a few years.
Shu Shu and Fucha Fujin were just acquaintances, and there was no way to guarantee Fucha Fujin's character.
She thought for a while and said: "I only know that she is a very smart person. When the Yaqibs and his wife were here earlier, even if the Eighth Fortune was promoted to 'recuperate', she refused to take over the internal affairs of the house; until the Yaqibs and his wife were liquidated, She just took over, but after Bafujin recovered from his illness, she handed over the account books and never did anything overbearing..."
