Farmer's happy event

Chapter 217
Lianzi's dim sum shop opened year after year, when the business was booming. She wanted to start building the shed quickly, but the shop was too busy to leave, so she decided to wait until after the Lantern Festival. start.

A few days ago, a lot of snow fell one after another, thickly piled up on the roof, and the afternoon sun shone dazzlingly.

Ning Qing was sitting in front of the window, the window covered with good window paper was tightly closed, but the sunlight still passed through the window paper and shone on his face, making his marble-clear skin shine with a moving light.

His shapely and slender fingers were holding a white jade hairpin.

This white jade hairpin is extremely simple, but the delicate quality of jade makes it obvious at first glance that it is extraordinary.The design of this hairpin is also simple yet exquisite. Although there is only a blooming lotus carved at the end of the streamlined hairpin, the carving of the lotus seeds has put a lot of effort into it. The stamens of the flowers seem to be able to count one by one.

This hairpin is what Ning Qing's mother likes to wear every day.In Ning Qing's memory, his mother wore this hairpin every day. This holy white lotus, against the mother's smile, was like the warm sun in the winter afternoon, making him feel warm in his heart.

However, the hairpin is still there, but the mother is no longer there.

Over the years, he could only look at this old thing and miss all kinds of things about his mother.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, last year he wanted to ask Lianzi to go to watch the lanterns together, but it was too late, she had already gone out.

This year, she is exactly 15 years old, and Ji's age.

Ning Qing looked at the jade hairpin in her hand again, and a warm smile suddenly rose from the corner of her lips.

It's time to find an owner for this jade hairpin.

At this time, Lianzi was busy in the shop, making glutinous rice balls for the Lantern Festival with Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yang.

Inspired by the sale of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lianzi thought it would be feasible to sell glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival.However, due to time constraints, she did not do much publicity. She just made several kinds of glutinous rice balls first, sold them for a try, and if they are good, she will prepare them next year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although it is still early from the willows on the moon, the busy people in the "Chun Hui Tang" have already left, and only the big shopkeeper and a few pawnshops are left in the various pharmacies and medical centers. The value guy is on guard.

It was only after Ning Qing finished dealing with the matter that she explained to the shopkeeper, then got into the carriage and wanted to leave.

He took out the white jade hairpin from a small mahogany box, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it.

Give it to her later.

Although she got the hairpin in winter, Ning Qing hoped that the hairpin he gave would become the most meaningful one in her life.

"Master, it's not good, someone is making a fuss in the drugstore in the north of the city."

Ning Qing was about to order the driver to drive when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside.

He frowned and asked, "Which pharmacy is in the north of the city?"

His voice was so cold that people could not help but "thud" in their hearts after listening to it.

"It's from shopkeeper Xu in the north of the city." The guy who hurried to report the news said.

Hearing this, Ning Qing couldn't help frowning again. He was going to Lianzi's place at this time, but this happened suddenly.

He took another look at the white jade hairpin in his hand, then put it back into the box, and then told the coachman, "Go to the north of the city."

Although he really wanted to go to Lianzi's side right away, but now it is a special period, and there is no room for a little mistake.

The imperial court wanted to purchase medicinal materials, and Ning's "Chunhuitang", as the largest medicinal material industry in the city, naturally deserved the order from the imperial court.But after all, it is sold to the imperial court, and no slightest mistake is allowed.In the past, Ning Qing didn't need to come forward for this kind of matter at all, and just let the big shopkeeper in the shop solve it.It's just that today is different from the past, he has to pay attention and stare carefully.

The coachman drove the carriage and took him to the north of the city.

The Ning family's shops are open all over Cangshan County. Although the area in the north of the city is populated by ordinary people, there are also many shops there, and accidents often occur there.

The horse-drawn carriage was familiar with the road, and it arrived at the door of the medicine shop managed by shopkeeper Xu in the north of the city.

Before Ning Qing got out of the carriage, she heard noise outside the carriage.

"Father, baby, what's wrong with you?" A woman cried heartbreakingly, and threw herself on a man lying on the ground while crying.

Ning Qing stretched out her fair and slender fingers, and opened a gap in the off-white brocade curtain embroidered with dark patterns.

"You can't die. If you die, what will we do if we are orphans and widows?" The woman was out of breath from crying, and she looked extremely distressed.

She was wearing dark blue clothes that were patched and patched. At this time, she was covered with dust, her bun was already messed up, and her face was full of tears and snot.

And the man on the ground was lying on a homemade rattan mop, his eyes closed, as if he was out of breath.

Around this man and woman, four or five children in ragged clothes were also crying non-stop, yelling "Father" all the time.

The onlookers had already circled around, pointing and pointing, and some of them couldn't stand the woman's crying, and their eye circles turned red.

"This family is too pitiful, there must be an explanation from the 'Chun Hui Tang'." Someone said in the crowd.

"Yes, there is only such a strong man in the family, there is a sick old lady above, and there are so many children below, if they really let go, what will they do?" Someone echoed.

Ning Qing looked at it coldly, and a hint of boredom flashed in her eyes.

The Ning family has a big business, and "Chunhuitang" supports half the sky of the pharmaceutical industry in Cangshan County, so it is rare for people to make trouble.

It's just that when the tree grows, it attracts the wind. At a critical time like now, the "Chun Hui Tang" must become a thorn in the side of some people.

Such a commotion, if it becomes violent, the government will definitely intervene. Although the sign of "Chunhuitang" is placed there, the government can't do anything about it now, but if we do some investigation, let's not talk about it, it will cause bad things Influence, and how to say it will take several days of effort.

Coincidentally, two days later, the government had to select a merchant who supplied medicinal materials to the imperial court. If "Chunhuitang" was under investigation and was implicated, then there would be no doubt about it. become undeniably impossible.

Ning Qing blinked her eyes, and saw that shopkeeper Xu, the big shopkeeper of this shop, was persuading the woman, "I said big lady, it's true that you took the medicine on our side, but your man didn't take it because he took it." The medicine here has an accident, you should go back quickly, don't make trouble."

Unexpectedly, not only did the woman not listen to shopkeeper Xu's persuasion, but she went crazy and bumped her head against shopkeeper Xu's stomach, crying, and said loudly: "You said it was because you took your medicine? Ah? Then What's wrong with him now? Could it be that I bought the medicine myself from you, and then fed him the poison when I went back?"

The people around were all nodding, and whispered to each other: "Yes, it is already difficult enough for a husband and wife to support a large family. How can there be any reason for murder?"

Shopkeeper Xu was trying to persuade her with kind words, but unexpectedly, the woman not only refused to listen, but started to fight instead.He was so angry that he couldn't help cursing: "Crazy woman, she is simply a crazy woman!"

The people living in the north of the city are ordinary people, and life at home is not easy, but anyone who is sick, as long as it is not really unbearable, they will not come to the medical clinic to see a doctor and take medicine, just to save some money. money.

If the illness is too serious and eventually dies, some people will come to make a fuss in order to get some money for burning and burial.

Therefore, those big shopkeepers are not very willing to come to the shop in the north of the city.

Although the signboard of "Chun Hui Tang" is big enough, such things still happen occasionally.

However, once such a thing happens, "Chun Hui Tang" will definitely not tolerate it.

The family is poor, it's really pitiful, and it's completely negotiable to charge less money for the consultation, medicine, etc., after all, it's everyone's great cause, and we have to keep a way out for ourselves.But those who specialize in slanderous things to gain benefits are bound to be severely punished.

Ning Qing watched this for a while, and couldn't help smiling. The woman actually said that the accident happened because she took the medicine from the pharmacy.It's absurd to find this reason.

He can't guarantee it in other places, but Chunhuitang is all integrated from planting medicinal materials, to processing, to selling, and there is no possibility of accidents.Over the years, no one has ever had an accident because of buying fake or inferior drugs.

If it's not a problem with the medicinal materials, then it can only be a problem with the prescription.

However, since the "Chunhuitang" blood change the year before last, all the remaining doctors are known to Ning Qing, and they are highly skilled in medicine, and there are definitely no quack doctors.

This matter happened at such a juncture again, without much thought, one can know that someone must have intentionally framed it.

If something happened to "Chun Hui Tang", then there would naturally be other suppliers of medicinal materials in the county who would take down the list.

This is an order from the imperial court. After doing business with the imperial court, the price will definitely increase. Who wouldn't be tempted by such an excellent opportunity?

Today happened to be the Lantern Festival. At this time, there were not many people in the pharmacy, so even if there was a disturbance, it would be difficult to deal with it immediately.

Isn't this the perfect time to make trouble?

Ning Qing widened the curtain of the carriage, and said to a guy standing by the window of the carriage: "Go to the yamen, invite Catcher Zhao, and tell me that I found it."

The guy got the order and hurried out.

"Chunhuitang", as the great cause of Cangshan County's top position in the business world, naturally has many unclear relationships with the imperial court.

For things like this, Ning Qing doesn't need to get out of the car at all, and just hand it over to the Yamen.

At this time, the woman was still crying and howling, and the people around her were still pointing and pointing.
