Chapter 74
Later, the new maid who came to serve him accidentally let the matter slip, and Zhao Bin went crazy.
Luo Shi rushed over after receiving the news. He first glared at the maid who had spilled the beans and asked the housekeeper to drag her away to deal with it before going to comfort his son.
Wait for her to explain to Zhao Bin that everything is for his own good, blah blah blah.
Zhao Bin became even more crazy when he heard the sensitive words of marrying a wife and having children. How else could he get a good marriage like this? !
But this is a matter for later.
At this moment, Luo Shi was still worried about how to relieve his son, "Bin'er, your eldest sister..."
"Mom, I know, I won't be provoked by them, don't worry." Zhao Bin said, with a trace of pain on his face.
Luo Shi instantly forgot what he wanted to say, "What's wrong with you? But your leg hurts again? Where's the medicine?"
The grandma who was waiting on the side quickly took the medicine.
Luo Shi gave up his seat and said, "Give him some quickly."
After taking the medicine, Zhao Bin felt relaxed because the pain was gone.
The old woman who applied the medicine hesitated for a moment and said to Luo Shi, "Madam, the medicine is almost gone..."
Luo Shi was about to say that he would buy it when he ran out, but when he thought about the price of this medicine, he couldn't help but frown, "Why do you use it so fast?"
The old woman lowered her head, and the medicine seller said that this medicine should be used once or twice a day, but the fourth young master couldn't stand the pain, so he used it as soon as it hurt, sometimes three or four times a day. Isn't it normal for it not to last a long time?
"How many more times can it be used?"
"Once?" Facing the mistress's worried look, the old nanny quickly changed her words, "Twice is barely enough."
"Take the money and buy another bottle."
"Madam, where is the second room..." The old mama was in a dilemma. She spent so much money to buy medicine for the fourth young master in a short period of time. The princess was already very dissatisfied. Luo Shi was the matron of the house, but she had to consider other people in the family. people's opinions. She had a hunch that if she went to the accounting office to pay money again today, the second room would know about it and there would definitely be a riot.
Thinking of the second wife, Luo Shi also had a headache, "Forget it, this money goes to my private account."
"I know this, I will do it now."
Luo Shi wanted to tell his son that the medicine was expensive and asked him to use it sparingly, but seeing his son rarely calm down, he couldn't bear it.
Zhao Bin woke up from his daze and asked, "Mom, isn't dad back yet?"
Luo Shi took a look at the sky and guessed in his mind that the morning meeting would have dispersed long ago, right? The master should be home by now.
Her heart skipped a beat inexplicably, reminding her of the time when the Zhao family was impeached by Lu Desheng, and the master also did not return for a long time after going to court. She shook her head, feeling that her idea was a bit wrong, but the ominous premonition lingered in her heart.
"Madam, madam, it's not good, it's not good." With an anxious cry, a middle-aged man walked in hastily.
The person who came in was Zhao Wenkuan's long-term follower. Wherever he appeared, it proved that Zhao Wenkuan was there.
Luo Shi stood up immediately when he saw the person coming, "Ma Tiejun, but the master is back?"
The master is back, but he has almost destroyed the study! "Yes, madam, go and have a look."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Just as Ma Tiejun was about to follow, he was stopped by Zhao Bin, "Uncle Ma, is my father back?"
Meeting the fourth young master's hopeful eyes, Ma Tiejun said tactfully, "Yes, I'm coming back, but it may not be pleasant." But he didn't know much. He only knew a little from listening to the chats of the adults who were leaving the palace. .
Not happy? Why? Zhao Bin didn't think about the failure of the plan. Later, he found out. Their plan to win over others failed! Lu Desheng was not fooled, the Lu family also had a gold medal to avoid death! The Xie family lost the position of minister of Dali Temple! He didn't know what the Zhao family had lost, but the loss was definitely not small. It is true that the Xie and Zhao families are in-laws, but the Zhao family must have given resources to the Xie family.
Such an amazing three-step plan failed from the beginning. How could this happen? Is it really true that God is on the side of the Lu family? He was full of expectations, but he couldn't accept such a disappointing result!
Bang, Zhao Bin slammed his fist on the bed and growled, "Why, why doesn't God have eyes?"
Then, Zhao Bin, who was so angry that he fainted from anger! There was another burst of people in the Zhao family's backyard.

As soon as Lu Songli returned to Xiaofeng Courtyard, she saw Chen Rong already waiting there, with a bright red face, as if something good had happened to him.
Lu Songli glanced at Lu Mingzhi, and Lu Mingzhi said knowingly, "Second sister, can I go to the study to read?" He wanted to be a clingy little tail today.
"Go ahead."
As soon as Lu Songli finished speaking, a servant immediately came forward to guide Lu Mingzhi and then served refreshments.
Lu Songli led Chen Rong to the living room.
As soon as Chen Rong came in, he said happily, "Second Miss, we sold another bottle of medicine today! Here is the banknote."
"That's very good."
Bingmo stepped forward and took the banknote.
Chen Rong: "The people from the Zhao family who came to buy medicine today complained that the medicine was too expensive and asked if it could be cheaper."
Lu Songli refused, "No, just 3,000 taels a bottle, whether you like it or not." Once she relents and lowers the price, no matter how much, the other person will think it is expensive.
When she learned from Qin Sheng that the Zhao family was looking for painkillers, Lu Songli knew that they were probably looking for anesthetics.
You're a bastard who doesn't make money if you don't have money, so she wanted to use anesthetic to get some money from the Zhao family. So, she got a porcelain vase and gave it to Chen Rong, asking him to find someone to disguise it and sell it to the Zhao family at a high price.
Her bottle of medicine was specially processed. In addition to the necessary ingredients, some neutral medicinal materials were added to it, which did not affect the properties of the medicine, but was just the denominator to confuse the audience. All these medicinal materials are ground into powder. Even if the Zhao family takes it for analysis, it will be difficult to analyze it.
In fact, if she had time, she could change this recipe and make it into a paste, which would be better for treating leg diseases.
And the high price she said was really high. A bottle would cost him three thousand taels, a flat price. If you don’t want it, you’ll be sold! Anyway, she just wants to take advantage of the situation, so what!
Chen Rong still remembered the scene when the second lady called him and asked him to sell medicine, saying that a bottle of medicine would cost three thousand taels.
Three thousand taels? Chen Rong, who was holding the bottle casually, immediately changed to holding his heart with both hands. This small bottle is worth three thousand taels. If he accidentally breaks it and scatters the powder, he won't be able to compensate even if he sells it. .
He confirmed again and again at that time, did he really want to sell 3,000 taels a bottle?
The second lady comforted him at that time, saying that the price of the medicine was a bit high, but he should be able to sell it.
At that time, he complained in his heart: This small bottle of medicine sold for three thousand taels. That's not a high price, that's a sky-high price!
Because it is said to be a bottle, but it is actually a palm-sized bottle. You can imagine how much medicinal powder is in it and how many times it can be used.
He thought as he walked out with the medicine, the second lady was very dark-hearted. Such a small bottle of powder cost the Zhao family 3,000 taels, and they refused to lower the price, not even one tael. Aren’t you afraid that the Zhao family might find it too expensive and not buy it?
