Chapter 343: A Long Journey
When Qi Ning saw Mrs. Tian's expression, she felt a little unhappy and wondered whether she really looked 'lustful'. Gu Qinghan saw that she was hiding and dodging, but Mrs. Tian also had this nervous expression, making it look like she was going to rape her at any time.
He felt a little depressed, but he said, "Go to Xichuan, how many people have you sent? Mrs. won't she go to Xichuan too, right?"
"The mountains are high and the road is far away. How can I withstand it?" Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "Our Tian family's 'medicine' shop has special purchasing staff. We travel to Xichuan three times a year. This time, we send five or six people to Xichuan first prepare the 'medicine' materials, and then hire an escort agency to escort the convoy transporting the 'medicine' materials from Xichuan to send back the convoy."
"So that's it." Qi Ning nodded slightly: "The people sent to Xichuan should be very familiar with the geographical environment of Xichuan, right?"
Mrs. Tian pointed at her slightest: "Their ancestral homes are also in Xichuan. They are very familiar with the Sixteen counties of Xichuan for several years." After a pause, she asked carefully: "Why did the Marquis ask these questions?"
Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "Will they set off tomorrow?"
"Since the Marquis promised to open a 'medicine' shop for 'medicine', I will send them to leave early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tian said: "I guess the sales of the 'medicine' that 'mes' of 'mes' will be very good. At that time, the supply will probably be in short supply. Make preparations early and prepare more 'medicine' and you will never make any mistakes."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Madam is going to prepare for the future and you can do your business well at first sight. To be honest, I still have a few prescriptions here. If you can do your business well, I will give you all these "medicine" prescriptions in the future."
He actually didn't have any "medicine" prescriptions on hand, but he knew very well that it would be no big problem to look for Tang Nuo to ask for two more "medicine" prescriptions.
Mrs. Tian was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Marquis, I will take good care of you and not let the Marquis down." She was full of joy and felt that after knowing this little Marquis, the Tian family's "medicine" business is about to usher in the real "spring".
"I will set off to Xichuan tomorrow, too." Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "It just so happened that I am not very familiar with the environment in Xichuan. If my wife agrees, I wonder if I can let me and your subordinates go to Xichuan along the way, so that there will be a way to take care of it."
Mrs. Tian was stunned and then said happily: "That's good. If you have the Marquis with them, you will be blessed with the Marquis. The journey will naturally be smooth." She stood up and said: "Marquis, then I will go back and tell them to prepare and let them go to the Marquis' Mansion to see the Marquis tomorrow morning."
Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, tomorrow morning, I will take people to your mansion and leave with them when the time comes." After pausing, he waved to Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian hesitated for a moment, but still approached the past. Qi Ning leaned closer and lowered her voice: "Tell them not to be public. I have a secret matter to do when I go to Xichuan. I don't want too many people to know whereabouts. If someone shows up, I will settle the score with you."
Mrs. Tian was stunned, then her beautiful face showed a grievance and said aggrievedly: "Marty, I did nothing wrong, why should I settle the score with me?"
She was already beautiful and charming. She frowned and looked aggrieved, looking pitiful and even more touching. Qi Ning deliberately turned cold and joked seriously: "I only tell you my whereabouts now. If others know about it, of course you will be exposed."
At this time, Mrs. Tian felt like she was accompanying the king as if she was a tiger. She wondered whether it was a blessing or a disaster to cooperate with this little marquis. She said with a bitter face: "Anyway... I won't say it anyway, and I won't let them say it in a mess. If... if someone really knows the whereabouts of the marquis, the marquis... the marquis must investigate it first before they can be punished."
She bit her red lips and lowered her thighs slightly, as if she was complaining that Qi Ning was not responsible for being held guilty.
When Qi Ning saw this mature and beautiful pretty woman, she felt a little girlish expression and laughed, "Don't worry, just tell them to keep their mouths. By the way, how about the business with the Imperial Hospital? Are they embarrassed you?"
When talking about the Imperial Hospital, Mrs. Tian smiled again and said, "I have sent a batch of 'medicine' materials to the Imperial Hospital before the New Year. There are still a batch of 'medicine' materials to be sent this month. Master Zhou is kind and easy to deal with. He also praised the quality of the 'medicine' materials in our Tian family's 'medicine' business."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Mrs. Tian explained: "It is Zhou Si and Lord Zhou, the right magistrate of the Imperial Hospital. Lord Zhou manages the Imperial Hospital's 'medicine' database."
Qi Ning nodded and said, "It's so good." He stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't leave my wife. The wife will go back and prepare. I will go there early tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Tian thanked her again before leaving.
Although Qi Ning knew that Zhuo Qingyang suddenly disappeared, the government would definitely intervene in the investigation. Qionglin Academy was afraid that there would be some trouble, but he was about to leave Beijing and had no time to take care of it. He could only wait to come back before handling it.
When he thought of Qionglin Academy, he thought of the scroll. Qi Ning returned to his house, pried open a blue brick at the corner of the house with a cold blade, wrapped the scroll with two layers with a cloth towel, and then buried it in the corner of the wall, and then spread the blue bricks and pressed them tightly, he really couldn't see any flaws.
Many people are coveting this scroll. Although Qi Ning couldn't understand what the scroll is for a while, he also knew that it must be an ordinary thing. He didn't have time to explore what secrets were hidden in this scroll, so he could only collect them for the time being.
Although Zhuo Qingyang is missing and may be captured by his opponent, all this is indecisive at present. Whether Zhuo Qingyang is dead or alive, Qi Ning knows nothing. If Zhuo Qingyang suddenly appears one day and asks for a scroll, he will naturally return it.
With money, he could make the devil push the mill. When he went to Xichuan, Qi Ning also brought the silver notes sent by the four wealthy businessmen in the previous episode. For him, it doesn’t matter whether he goes to Xichuan or not. As long as he has the silver on him, there is really nothing to bring.
Because he had to hurry to the far road, Qi Ning went to bed early that night. The next morning, he was awakened by the knock on the door and got up to open the door. The sky was still dark and confused. A pretty figure stood in front of the door. It was Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan saw that he was sleepy and didn't say much, so he went straight into the house.
Qi Ning was happy and thought to himself that this beautiful young woman had been on guard against her for a while and didn't even dare to get closer, let alone get along alone. She had entered her room alone early this morning, and she was quite brave.
"Sanniang, why did you get up so early?" Qi Ning pulled a piece of clothing and put it on and smiled: "I won't sneak away."
Gu Qinghan looked at him angrily, then sighed quietly, saying, "The luggage has been packed, I have prepared all the food and clothing, and 'handed' it to Qi Feng and the others." He took a stack of silver notes and handed it over, "This is a three thousand tael of silver notes. If you bring it with you, you will be out of the door. There is no silver. Also, there are some broken silver in this purse and a few golden leaves, which can be used on the road."
Qi Ning just took the money bag and said, "I have silver on me, so I don't need to bring the silver notes."
"You can take it first." Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "If you are out, you would rather have more than less."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Sanniang, I am an adult, I know it in my heart. I really don't need silver notes."
Seeing Qi Ning insisting, Gu Qinghan sighed and put away the bill. He said, "The weather has not yet warmed up. I have prepared clothes for you. You can wear more pieces on the road and don't be frozen. Also, there are a lot of miasma in Xichuan. You have never been there, and I don't know if you will be unacceptable to the local environment. Anyway, you must be careful in everything."
Qi Ning nodded, and Gu Qinghan said again: "It's not as good as when you go out at home, everything is up to you. You are a casual person and like to meddle in other people's business. You are a marquis, but we can't control Xichuan. Even if the emperor sends you to do business, everything will not be smooth sailing." After a pause, he continued: "Don't argue with others, be safe and safe, don't let me be at home... worry!"
Gu Qinghan told her in succession that Qi Ning felt warm in her heart and was even more excited. She nodded and said, "Sanniang, don't worry, I will come back soon after I finish my errands. Don't be too tired at home, you should take care of yourself. If you want someone to make things difficult for our Marquis' Mansion, don't be anxious. Wait until I come back to clean up slowly."
Gu Qinghan glared at him and rebuked, "What I just told you, have you forgotten now? Tell you not to fight hard, and you will argue with others before you leave the door. If you are not in Beijing, who will make things difficult for us?"
Qi Ning smiled, and suddenly saw Gu Qinghan turn around, wondering, before he could speak, he saw Gu Qinghan's delicate body tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but turn to Gu Qinghan. Seeing Gu Qinghan wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, the beautiful young woman's eyes were red, and he hurriedly said, "Sanniang, I'm just going out to the door, why are you crying?"
"Don't look." Gu Qinghan turned around again, "I didn't sleep well last night, my eyes hurt a little. Who cried? Don't talk nonsense." He got up and said, "Qi Feng and the others have already gotten up to wait for you, and you have some coughing..."
Gu Qinghan personally prepared hot water for Qi Ning. After Qi Ning coughed, he cleaned up and left the door with Gu Qinghan. Qi Feng and others were already waiting in the front yard.
This time, there were not many people. Two skilled and capable men were selected from the escort of the Marquis's mansion to accompany him. Gu Qinghan reminded: "Qi Feng, you must be careful when you are traveling to Xichuan, and you must take good care of the Marquis. If the Marquis loses one head, I will not spare you when you come back."
Qi Feng said respectfully: "Don't worry, Mrs. Third Lady, I just lost my head, too...!"
"Bah!" Gu Qinghan immediately said, "Who made you lose your head? Before you even became a monk, you were talking nonsense. I want you all to come back safely."
Qi Feng and the two guards bowed together and said, "The third lady is instructed, let's keep it in mind."
Qi Ning said: "Sanniang, I won't go and say hello to Miss Tang and the Grandma. Just turn around and say it to them."
