Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 242 Battle
When Yuan's freshly brewed tea turned cold and it was already time, Zhou Mingfeng finally finished his work.

Wiping off the sweat beads that didn't exist on his forehead, Zhou Mingfeng asked the boy in blue to step back with his things.

Turning his head to look at Yuan Shi opposite, Zhou Mingfeng coughed, took a sip of the herbal tea at the side, and said in a calm voice, "As Madam Yuan asked, this ointment has been tested, just as Madam thought, the ointment is not There is no problem, even, it can be said that this ointment is very nourishing and beautifying, and it will not cause the scene described by Madam." Zhou Mingfeng was talking about the few maids that Yuan Shi told him yesterday. Neither the medicine nor the ointment will produce this kind of purulent reaction on the face, unless the maids have taken extremely cold Chinese herbal medicine, otherwise, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

While looking down at the teacup in his hand, Zhou Mingfeng reached out and stroked his beard, thinking seriously about the final outcome of this matter. He had to admire Mrs. Yuan's decisiveness in giving up half of the profits to please himself Coming out of the mountain, I think I have already thought of the worst outcome.

After listening to Zhou Mingfeng's words, Yuan's heart suddenly fell to the ground. Instead, she was not as nervous as before. Yuan looked at Zhou Mingfeng with a serious tone, "To tell the truth, Zhou Mingfeng, the women have already been mentally prepared for this matter. So the conditions put forward by the women yesterday were also sincere, and I hope that Dr. Zhou will agree to the women's request in the face of the people in Linfang. tempted.

Zhou Mingfeng looked at Yuan Shi with sharp eyes, and the two just looked at each other like this, neither of them said a word, until the young man in green shirt at the side reported back, and said that when someone came downstairs, Yuan Shi bowed his head and left.

The moment Yuan went downstairs, Zhou Mingfeng stopped her, "Wait a minute, Madam Yuan, I promise you this matter, and please Madam Yuan don't forget your promise."

Yuan Shi turned her head, bent down to salute, and said with a smile, "Although women have never learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius, they still understand the truth. Yuan Shi will not forget the great kindness of Doctor Zhou today."

Zhou Mingfeng nodded, Yuan Shi nodded, then turned and went downstairs.

Going down the stairs, Yuan Shi looked down at the person in front of her while looking for the target she was looking for. Just like yesterday, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion and the maids who had an accident were all present. Thinking that the strange lady in luxurious clothes looked at this person's whole body, and thought that this was the lady in charge of Li's residence.

Mrs. Yuan took two quick steps, came to the lady, and said with a smile, "So it's Mrs. Li, the lady came down late, and I hope Mrs. Li won't blame you."

"Oh? What did Madam Yuan say? It's causing you trouble, alas." Madam Li sighed helplessly after finishing speaking. There was a feeling of being in a high position all the year round, Yuan sighed, probably because of the perennial housekeeper.

Yuan Shi smiled and continued, "I don't know why Madam sighed, but our Meiyan Pavilion caused you trouble with the ointment problem." Although she knew in her heart that the ointment matter was caused by this madam, on the face Yuan Shi still kept his head down and his brows down, laying all the faults on himself.

Mrs. Li is also an arrogant person. Seeing Yuan's attitude, she naturally saw her clearly in her heart, and her words were a little more casual.

"I have to say that Mrs. Yuan's Beauty Pavilion is really good, no matter what kind of ointment it is, but when Mrs. Li said this, she was very satisfied to see the flickering tension on Yuan's face, and looked back. The maid who covered her eyes with the veil said, "I originally planned to give these ointments to the ladies far away in Qingyang. Who would have thought that the ointments given to the maids have problems to varying degrees. Madam Yuan, As a woman, you understand this kind of pain better than you. Although these maidservants are the sons of our Li family, and they live and die as members of our Li family, but since such a big thing happened, I, the master I can't ignore it, so I came here with the cheek to ask Madam Yuan to seek justice for them, and I hope Madam Yuan will forgive you." After Madam Li said this, she squinted her eyes and gestured to the maid who was leading the way. Suddenly began to sob in a low voice, the voice was not loud, but Yuan's ears were very disturbed.

Madam Li turned her head contentedly, looked at the impatient Yuan Shi, and sat back on the stool before, playing with the teacup in her hand. A small trick can't settle it, and the price is just a few useless maids. Looking up at the beauty pavilion, it won't be long before this beauty pavilion should be her own, ha ha, it's really getting better and better more joyful.

Yuan Shi pretended to comfort her a few words, and then pretended to be helpless and whispered to Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li, this matter is our Meiyan Pavilion's fault, so I reported to my master early in the morning, and now my master I am waiting for Madam on the second floor, and I hope Madam will not make things difficult for me." With an innocent look on her face, Yuan directly confessed Zhou Mingfeng. Anyway, half of the profits will be given to the Herbal Hall, and the Meiyan Pavilion can be regarded as the property of the Zhou family. It is not an exaggeration to call him "Master".

"Huh? What?" Mrs. Li slapped the table and got up from the stool. The maids behind her were so frightened that none of them dared to continue crying. They could only look helplessly at the butler beside him. Mrs. Li's every move gave the maids a look of watching what happened, and the servants had a tacit understanding and stopped talking.

Looking at Mrs. Li with a surprised face, Yuan Shi lowered her head and replied respectfully, "Mrs. Li doesn't know something. This beauty pavilion is not our family's business. The master upstairs also paid half of the money. I know the ointment Something went wrong, he has already rushed over, please ask Mrs. Li to move upstairs for the rest, the three of us can talk further and make sure Mrs. Li is satisfied." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she did not give Mrs. Li a chance to respond , directly turned sideways, and "please" Mrs. Li went upstairs.

Madam Li looked at Yuan Shi fiercely, Yuan Shi lowered her head and did not move, Madam Li suddenly laughed out loud, and told the servants behind her not to move around, while she went up to the second floor with Yuan Shi.

"Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan is not low-handed." Mrs. Li followed behind Yuan Shi and whispered, but the irony in it was too great, and Yuan Shi could easily hear it.

"Mrs. Yuan is not talented, no more far-sighted than Madam." Mrs. Yuan bowed her head and returned, then continued on her way.

"Hehe, no matter where, Madam Yuan is not bad either." Madam Li smiled, and then stopped talking.

The two quickly went up to the second floor, and Yuan's sideways revealed a person that Mrs. Li could not have imagined.
