Although An Ge was very upset, Chu Qiao still walked out of Yayuan with a straight back. No matter what, she would not look back. The pain at the moment was short-lived for An Ge. Over time, he would forget this name.
Li Chunxiang's woman.
Standing outside Yayuan, Chu Qiao sniffed hard, suppressing the grief in her heart little by little.
"Ange, I will leave the palace, and I hope you can be as happy as before."
After returning to the Taiyuan Hospital, Chu Qiao put down her luggage and went directly to the Yuxiang Room. According to the decision of Eunuch Chen and the Shang Medical Superintendent, she is now the highest supervisor of the Yuxiang Room and will directly serve the state banquet.
Master Zhou Jiren, who was originally appointed by Yuxiangfang, was below her, so Master Zhou had a gloomy face and a low mood from early morning until now.
As soon as Chu Qiao entered the door of Yuxiang Room, she felt that the atmosphere was different.
"Master Li."
Zhou Jiren stood aside with a green face. He looked to be over fifty and had a half-length beard. Zhou Jiren lowered his head and felt dissatisfied. He had been struggling with Zhou Jiren for how many years before he finally succeeded.
How can I feel comfortable when I have taken the position of being the advisor of Yuxiangfang, but now I have to obey the orders of a little girl?
"Chunxiang, there are still many things you don't understand, and you will have to ask Mr. Zhou for advice in the future."
Chu Qiao didn't dare to be arrogant as soon as she entered this door. There were more than a dozen officials, big and small, and perfumers working here. If Zhou Jiren took the lead in confronting her, it would be really difficult to get started with this job.
"How dare you Zhou? Since Mr. Li can be nominated by the emperor to be sent to the Imperial Hospital and has the final say in the Royal Fragrance Room, it is not for free."
Zhou Jiren's words were so bitter that the corners of his mouth twitched at least three times. He glanced at Chu Qiao and continued to pretend to be respectful.
"Master Li, the spices sent by Qingzhou spice king Chu Jing'an have arrived in the capital. The Lord is at the side door of the palace. I would like to ask Master Li to take a look at them one by one and make a decision as to whether the spices are of high quality and meet the requirements of the palace.
"
After Zhou Jiren said these words, he secretly raised his eyebrows and pinched his beard with his fingers, showing a cunning look. Even if a teenage girl knows a little about spices, how much can she know? If you want to really distinguish spices.
Good or bad, after just a few years, I'm afraid I can only know a little bit about it.
This time Zhou Jiren decided to let Li Chunxiang do the test. He led others to watch the excitement, waiting to make this woman look foolish.
No matter what, Zhou Jiren had to vent his anger and let everyone see that Li Chunxiang was simply not qualified to be the manager of Yuxiangfang.
"Chu Jing'an?"
Hearing Zhou Jiren mention this name, Chu Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Isn't that her father's name? It seems that the catastrophe for her uncle was caused by Chu Jing'an's prompt and decisive decision to cut through the mess quickly and spend a lot of money to bribe the government.
, has been separated from the relationship, and has not been implicated. Even the business of royal spices for the palace has not been lost.
Thinking of Chu Jing'an's ruthlessness, Chu Qiao's heart was filled with sadness.
But calm down and think about it carefully, if she were the father, maybe she would make such a ruthless decision to abandon two people and save the entire family for the sake of the heads of the entire Chu family.
Not possible?
"Sir? Master Li?"
Zhou Jiren's voice sounded again. He leaned closer, observing Chu Qiao's expression, and felt secretly proud. Li Chunxiang was so dazed, wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to recognize the spice and would make a fool of himself?
"Master Li is now the top manager of Yuxiangfang. This matter... you have to go..." He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Li Chunxiang wouldn't back down so quickly, would he? It seems,
She is really a woman with no real ability. Maybe she relied on some connections to get admitted to Tai Hospital.
"ah?"
When Chu Qiao heard Zhou Jiren's shout, she immediately came to her senses and responded in a low voice.
"I'll go right away."
"I will take more than a dozen people with Mr. Li. When carrying spices, outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace."
Zhou Jiren was not going to help move things, he clearly wanted to watch Chu Qiao lively. Chu Qiao pretended to be busy and left the Royal Fragrance Room in advance without thinking too much.
She was worried about one thing. She didn't know who from the Chu family was coming to the capital to deliver spices this time. Would they recognize her immediately?
"Is it Chu Jing'an himself who has sent spices to Beijing the last few times?" Chu Qiao asked.
"It used to be sent by Chu Jing'an's cousin, but recently, it's been sent by Chu Jing'an himself." Zhou Jiren answered. These words made Chu Qiao's heart beat wildly. It was actually his father himself.
Come to deliver?
It seems that after his uncle's accident, Chu Jing'an was very cautious in doing things, fearing that something might happen to him, so he spared no effort and went to Beijing in person.
"This is quite hard work, and you have to deliver it in person?"
Chu Qiao's lips trembled and she said something casually.
"Almost all the spices in the palace now come from the Qingzhou Chu family. How can he not pay attention to it? If something goes wrong, it will be hard to eat. This time Master Li will be more careful when testing the spices. This spice
After inspecting the goods and entering the palace, the quality has nothing to do with the Chu family."
"I see."
Chu Qiao naturally understood Zhou Jiren's words, which told her to be careful when testing.
But Zhou Jiren didn't know that Chu Qiao was not worried about testing the spices, but how to make Chu Jing'an not recognize her. It seemed difficult.
As the manager of Yuxiangfang, she cannot hide her face, let alone dodge. She must face Chu Jing'an face to face. Even if she tries her best to avoid it, Chu Jing'an will still see her face. Will he risk it?
We can move forward and recognize each other freely? If so, she will definitely die.
As Chu Qiao was thinking like this, she had already arrived at the side entrance of the palace. From a distance, she saw several carriages. Chu Jing'an was standing at the front of the transport team, talking to two eunuchs. He saw someone coming.
, and looked this way.
Seeing his father Chu Jing'an again, Chu Qiao couldn't calm down. After several months of separation, he looked much older and his face was gloomy. It seemed that the disaster in the Chu family had made him seriously ill.
Although he tried his best to slow down, Zhou Jiren still pushed her to the front.
"Master Li, let's go first."
This guy had a smile on his face and wanted to make Chu Qiao make a fool of himself immediately. It seemed that this push attracted Chu Jing'an's attention. He frowned, as if he was thinking about something?
Chu Qiao secretly pressed her lips together, comforting herself that Chu Jing'an was not a fool. He had been in business for so many years and dealt with the government and the palace. He should know what to say and what not to say. Even if they meet in this situation, even if he
Even though he recognized her, he didn't have the courage to acknowledge her.
