Ning Wei stood up, took out a piece of paper from the bookcase and handed it to Hu Rui, "Sir, take a look at this, go find this family based on the address above, and then convince them to report it to the official Yiyuan Pharmacy."
Hu Rui took the paper and lowered his head to look at it. Then, Hu Rui looked up at Ning Wei in surprise, "Someone died? How did the lady know this?"
Ning Wei said as she had planned: "I overheard it.
The husband went to investigate the matter first, and asked the family to report to the government that Yiyuan Drug Store, Renqing Drug Store, and Renhe Drug Store sold counterfeit medicines, and then let the matter go.
Furthermore, my old father was unrealistic, narcissistic and pretentious.
Sir, I am looking for a talented and beautiful actor to create a heart-stirring and inseparable love story for my old father."
Hu Rui had amusement in his eyes and said, "Why did the young lady come up with this strategy? That's the young lady's father."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Just because he is my father, I have tried my best to do what he likes, which is considered as filial piety to his old man."
Hu Rui smiled and said, "Okay then, just go down and do as you are told."
After saying that, Hu Rui stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I understand that while I am out, the lady will stay in the house and do not leave the house."
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I'm at the house and I'm not going anywhere."
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei and saw that she looked serious. He cupped her hands again and turned around to leave the study.
Before going out, Hu Rui called Zaohua over and warned: "I have to go out for something, so take good care of the young lady and don't let her go out."
Zaohua responded and Hu Rui stepped away.
After Hu Rui left, Ning Wei asked Zaohua to go in and ordered: "Let Chang Le go to Qingshi Street and pick up shopkeeper Liu."
Zaohua was ordered to retreat.
Ning Wei sat at the table, squinting and lost in thought.
Whenever she talked about the love between husband and wife in front of others, Ms. Zhao always told people openly and secretly the touching story of her and Ning Guangyan's inseparable love, and how they finally got married.
She wanted to see how the love that made Zhao proud and complacent would react when she knew that Ning Guangyan was carrying her behind her back and was inseparable from others.
Half an hour later, Shopkeeper Liu came to Baoping Lane.
Ning Wei first asked about Shopkeeper Liu's injury. Seeing that Shopkeeper Liu was fine, he asked, "Has the warehouse matter been implemented?"
Shopkeeper Liu leaned forward and said, "Miss Hui, it has been implemented.
The place Xu Wu went to look for was visited by Xiao Xiao the day before yesterday, and it was near Dongshui Pier.
It is a house with three entrances. It was previously rented by a cloth shop merchant to be used as a warehouse.
The merchant made a loss, so he canceled the rent a year ago.
Because the house is relatively large and difficult to rent out, I haven't been able to find a new home for a while.
By the way, the merchant also had a lot of fabrics and cotton piled in the house.
The landlord promised that if we wanted to rent it, he would let the merchants vacate the house as soon as possible.
When I was young, I saw that the house was very spacious.
Even in the wing rooms, each room is 15 feet long and 15 feet long, very spacious, and is especially suitable for storing things.
I was so satisfied that I paid half a year's rent on the spot."
Ning Wei nodded, "Write down the address and I'll go take a look at it another day. By the way, the previous merchant saved a lot of cotton and fabric?"
Shopkeeper Liu took a step forward and wrote down the address.
Shopkeeper Liu said while writing: "Yes, Miss, don't worry, the landlord said that he will urge the man to vacate the house as soon as possible."
Ning Wei's hand gently tapped the handrail, and after a moment, she said: "Uncle Liu, go to the house and have a look. If these goods are still good, try to buy them."
Shopkeeper Liu raised his head and looked at Ning Wei in surprise, "Miss, do you want to do business in the cloth shop?"
Ning Wei nodded and said: "Uncle Liu, this year is Lengdong. Not only can charcoal be sold at a high price, but the prices of cotton-padded jackets and bedding will not be low either."
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Ning Wei with bright eyes, nodded repeatedly and said: "Miss, you are right, I will do it now. I will definitely buy this batch of goods at the lowest price."
Ning Wei said: "Uncle Liu, take Uncle Shi with you to handle this matter. From now on, Uncle Shi will be responsible for the affairs of the village, and you have to be responsible for the rice business."
Shopkeeper Liu bowed and said, "Okay, I will go to Zhuangzi later to take He Zheng and Osmanthus into the city."
Ning Wei nodded, "After Aunt Gui enters the city, ask her to come to Baoping Lane to meet me."
"Okay, I understand, little one."
Ning Wei then asked: "Have you started working on the charcoal matter?"
Shopkeeper Liu wrote the address and put down the pen.
He replied: "We have already started. I asked Gui Yi to handle this matter.
Guiyi traveled around the capital, contacted many charcoal sellers, and bought all the stocks at 50% of last winter's price.
They also promised the other party that as long as they had charcoal, they would buy it all at this price, and the charcoal sellers happily agreed.
These days, a lot of charcoal has been delivered to Zhuangzi."
"Are they willing to sell it at 50% of the price?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "The price of 50% is not low. Even in the cold weather, they sell the charcoal to merchants in the city for only this price."
Ning Wei nodded with satisfaction, "As long as they are willing to sell, we will keep charging this price."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."
Ning Wei continued: "The warehouse has been rented, and the grain collection will begin. Uncle Liu, can you go to Jiangnan?"
Shopkeeper Liu immediately understood what Ning Wei meant, leaned forward and said, "It's okay, my boss. What are your orders?"
Ning Wei pushed the paper on the desk in front of Shopkeeper Liu and said: "These are the rice merchants I found out about. I have already sorted out how to form a partnership. You can take the documents to discuss business matters with them."
After shopkeeper Liu lowered his head to read, he looked up at Ning Wei and said, "My boss, we don't have enough money to purchase so many goods at once."
Ning Wei said: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, the eldest lady of Jiang Shangshu Mansion will join us in doing business, so you don't have to worry about the money."
Shopkeeper Liu paused for a moment, then nodded ecstatically, "Okay, I understand. I'll accompany He Zheng to finish the business in Buzhuang and set off immediately."
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu."
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's not hard. As a shopkeeper, I dream of big business. The boss allows me to get my wish, but it's too late for me to be happy. There's no need to suffer."
Before leaving, shopkeeper Liu said to Ning Wei: "Miss, after I leave, if anything happens to me, I will tell Xu Wu. Xu Wu is a very steady and considerate child, and leaving the matter in his hands makes people feel at ease."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'm waiting for good news from Uncle Liu."
After seeing off Shopkeeper Liu, Ning Wei sat back at her desk, lowered her head and continued working.
Mrs. Zhao returned to Qili Street from Baoping Lane and became furious in the mansion. The servants all avoided it and did not dare to approach Lingyun Garden.
Nanny Qin, Jin Zhu and other personal attendants stood by the side with eyes and noses in mind, not daring to express their anger, for fear that Mrs. Zhao would vent her anger on them.
It wasn't until Mrs. Zhao got tired of beating her and sat on the beauty's couch panting to rest that Grandma Qin signaled Jinzhu and the others to clean up.
Nanny Qin looked at Mrs. Zhao, turned around and went to the door, asked the maid to bring tea in, and stood at the door waiting.
After a while, the maid came over with tea.
Nanny Qin took the tea and whispered: "Wait at the door and be smart."
The maid bent her knees and said, "Thank you so much, mama. I understand."
Nanny Qin walked to the beauty's couch with tea in her hand and whispered, "Madam, have a sip of tea."
Mrs. Zhao took the tea, lowered her head and took a few sips, then handed the tea cup to Grandma Qin.
Nanny Qin turned around and put the tea cup on the table, walked over and picked up the round fan on the ground, and while fanning Mrs. Zhao, she persuaded: "Why do you want to live and die like this, madam? Isn't it worthwhile to be so angry that you are so angry?"
Mrs. Zhao was leaning on the beauty's couch, her eyes focused in an unknown direction, as if she had not heard what Nanny Qin said.
Nanny Qin didn't say anything more, and kept fanning Mrs. Zhao.
"Since when did things start to go wrong for us?"
"Huh?" Nanny Qin didn't understand what Mrs. Zhao meant for a moment. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Zhao and saw that Mrs. Zhao was looking at her.
He had the courage to ask: "What did madam say?"
Mrs. Zhao said impatiently: "Let me ask you, when did things start to go wrong for us?"
Nanny Qin leaned forward and said, "Madam, please calm down and let me think about it."
Grandma Qin thought for a while and said: "If it's not going well, it starts with drugging the eldest lady. The eldest lady seems to know that we are going to attack her. The eldest lady may not have eaten the food that day."
Mrs. Zhao bit her lower lip, frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, she raised her head and asked, "I didn't even tell you about this before. How did that bitch know about it?"
Nanny Qin thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Madam, do you think it could be Nanny Yang? Madam didn't even tell the old slave about this matter. Only Madam and Nanny Yang know about it."
Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes slightly, "She?"
Nanny Qin nodded and said: "Yes, except Nanny Yang, no one else knows...she must have done this."
Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "The lives of Grandma Yang's family are in my hands. She doesn't dare to do anything against me."
"If it's not Nanny Yang, who could it be?" Nanny Qin murmured to herself.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao sat up straight and said, "I won't mention this in advance. There are two important things at the moment.
The first is Brother Qing's marriage. If word spreads about Brother Qing's injury, and I let that bitch marry her, I will have to harm her reputation.
Then there is the matter of the scientific examination, and we cannot allow that bastard to prepare for the examination with peace of mind."
Aunt Qin nodded in agreement and said, "You don't have to worry about the Second Young Master's preparation for the exam. We only need to make excuses to visit the old lady every day and take the opportunity to cause a scene, so the Second Young Master can't concentrate on preparing for the exam.
As for the marriage of the eldest lady, it is the most urgent matter at the moment. But it is useless for me to come forward because the old lady does not agree to marry the eldest lady."
"This old immortal thing." Mrs. Zhao thought of Mrs. Qian and cursed fiercely.
Nanny Qin thought for a while and said, "If the old lady dies, will the eldest lady's marriage fall into the hands of the madam?"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao glanced sideways at Nanny Qin and reprimanded: "What are you talking about? The old immortal is dead, and I will have to worry about you for three years. Three years, do you understand? What else can I do if I return to the Yamen?"
Afraid of angering Mrs. Zhao, Aunt Qin quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I am confused.
The old lady cannot and cannot die. Since the old lady cannot die, let her get sick.
As long as the old lady is ill and too confused to take charge of the affairs, the eldest lady's marriage will also fall into the hands of the madam."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up and she murmured: "It's a good idea! Now that the old man is not in the house, how can he make her sick?"
Nanny Qin accompanied her with a smile and said, "Madam, I forgot, isn't there someone else in Jing'an Hall?"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao became energetic and said: "Yes, there is still Nanny Yang in Jing'an Hall. Nanny Yang was the person who served the old man before. Let her go to the old man."
Nanny Qin nodded and said: "Madam's idea is good. As long as Nanny Yang is by my side, why worry about the old lady not falling ill?"
The corners of Mrs. Zhao's mouth turned up, she nodded and said, "Well, it's settled. You go tell Nanny Yang and ask her to go to Baoping Lane to serve the old thing immediately."
Aunt Qin bent her knees in response, took two steps back, turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" Before Nanny Qin could go out, Mrs. Zhao called out to her.
Nanny Qin stopped, turned to look at Mrs. Zhao, and asked, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "Wait a moment and let me think about it again."
Nanny Qin came back and asked, "What do you think is wrong, madam?"
Mrs. Zhao got up and walked around the room.
Nanny Qin looked at Mrs. Zhao with confusion and stood silently by the side, not daring to disturb her.
After a while, Mrs. Zhao turned to look at Nanny Qin and asked, "When the old man left the house, he didn't take Nanny Yang with him. Did he find out that Nanny Yang had betrayed her?"
Nanny Qin didn't think of this at first. After being reminded by Mrs. Zhao, she nodded involuntarily, "It's very possible. What should we do? Are we still going to let Nanny Yang go?"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao thought for a while and said: "Let her go. However, we can't rely on her alone.
The old man also has Dong Hui, Qiu Ju, and Chun Cao with him. We have to bribe one more person to come over. You have to do this yourself. How much money is needed can be paid by the accountant. Do you understand?"
Aunt Qin bent her knees and said, "Yes, I understand."
Nanny Qin waited for a while, but when she saw that Mrs. Zhao did not give any more instructions, she bent her knees and saluted, "Old slave, please step back."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao warned: "Remember, don't be stingy! Only when the money is in place can someone work for us."
Aunt Qin replied: "Yes, I understand."
"Go!" Mrs. Zhao Fu waved her hand.
Not long after Nanny Qin left, Ning He came over with her maid and mother-in-law.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, and her annoyance disappeared. She came forward with a smile on her face and asked, "Why did Sister He come to Aniang's place?"
Ning He stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Xiao Zhao's hand and said coquettishly: "My daughter misses my grandma!"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao stared at Ning He for a while, then asked with a smile: "Really? Isn't it because you are looking for money from your superiors?"
"Aniang!" Ning He cried out sweetly to cover up her embarrassment after being exposed by her mother.
