Miss Forensic Doctor, she is very dragged and black!

Chapter 108

"Don't worry, nothing happened in Qingzhou. Dad decided to move to the capital because of Brother Yan and Brother Bo." He Nan hurriedly said, "I came here this time to be a pioneer for them. Find a good house here, and when they come to Beijing at the end of the year to move in, brother Yan will take the scientific examination next year."

"So that's the case." Mrs. Ru nodded, her eye circles turned red again because she was excited to see her parents whom she hadn't seen for many years, she lowered her head and said with a choked voice, "I just don't know if Dad is still blaming me for not listening to him back then. if……"

"Why?" He Nan hurriedly said: "Every time I go back, my father always tells me about you, saying that he regrets that he didn't promise you to marry your brother-in-law, didn't let you marry out of your natal family in a good manner, I don't know if you are doing well in Jin's house, and I wrote you a few letters, but you haven't replied, Dad thought you were still angry with him!"

Mrs. Ru had a surprised expression on her face when she heard the words. She lived in the West Side Courtyard a few years ago, but she never received a letter from her natal family. After intercepting the letter, she hurriedly lowered her head and pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said in a low voice: "I... have no face to reply to my father's letter, after all, I was so disobedient to my father back then..."

"You silly girl, Dad has always loved you the most. Even if he is angry with you for being disobedient, how long can he be angry?" He Nan stared closely at Madam Ru's drooping face, still treating her like a little sister She said with a smile: "But forget it, all of this is over. When Dad comes to the capital, you can give Dad a good gift and apologize, and then let this little girl behave in front of her parents. It's over!"

"What brother said is true." Mrs. Ru wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, crying and laughing at the same time.

"It's great, Jin Liu can see my grandfather, grandmother and two cousins!" Jin Liu didn't like to see Madam Ru crying, so she clapped her hands happily and turned to look at He Nan and asked, "Uncle , when will my grandfather, grandmother and two cousins ​​come to the capital?"

He Nan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid we will have to wait until September or October. The autumn is clear and rainy, and the road will be much more convenient."

"Ah...it will take so long!" Jin Liu frowned her delicate eyebrows in disappointment.

Mrs. Ru couldn't help laughing when she saw this, she stretched out her hand and tapped Jin Liu's forehead lightly, and said, "You, you just want to have fun, and you've been thinking of ways to run outside all day long, your cousin is Those who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination are not here to play with you, and they can't play crazy with you."

"Isn't there still Cousin Bo?" Jin Liu said with a smile: "I want to take Cousin Bo to visit Ming Lake, Cousin Bo will definitely like it!"

"You like it!" Mrs. Ru spat out Jinliu's words.

Jin Liu didn't refute, and still smiled.

He Nan held the tea bowl to watch Mrs. Ru, Jin Liu's mother and daughter talking, with a smile on his face, put down the tea bowl, and suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, I have prepared something for your old lady and you. This is the first time I saw the little girl, and I forgot to prepare a meeting gift for her."

"She has only one child, so my brother doesn't have to worry about it." Mrs. Ru thought it was a big deal, but when she saw what He Nan was talking about, she hurriedly said with a smile.

"That can't be done. The girl praised me as an uncle before. How could my capable uncle not even buy her a decent meeting gift!" He Nan shook his head repeatedly, got up and stood up, saying: "How about In this way, I have to leave anyway, I will take the girl out for a walk, as long as you see it, I will buy it for you, how about it?"

It was Jin Liu who asked the question, but Jin Liu looked at Mrs. Ru.

Madam Ru also hurriedly stood up, and said, "How is this possible! She is a child, what gift do you want, brother..."

"You don't care about this matter! I'll go tell you fake old ladies!" Before Madam Ru finished speaking, He Nan said forcefully, stepped forward to touch Jin Liu's head, and asked: "Girl, what are you talking about?" Uncle, go out for a walk, okay?"

Jin Liu raised her head to play with He Nan, blinked her eyes flickeringly, grinned suddenly, and nodded vigorously.

He Nan wanted to leave, but the old lady tried to persuade him to stay, but she didn't get what she wanted. Knowing that he was going to take Jinliu out, she naturally wouldn't stop her, so she asked the servants to prepare the carriage, and asked Madam Ru to take the two of them to the second gate. place.

The spring morning was sunny, the street was full of sellers and buyers, and the carriage of the Jin Mansion was slowly driving forward among the bustling crowd. Jin Liu had long been used to such scenes, and sat quietly. In the carriage, He Nan rarely came to the capital. He was attracted by the bustling scene in front of him. He opened the curtains and looked at it for a long time before turning around and smiling at Jin Liu: "The capital is the capital, and the prosperity is better than any town. Even the capitals of some overseas countries are not so prosperous."

"Has Uncle been to many overseas countries?" Jin Liu asked curiously, even in her previous life, she had never been abroad, so naturally she didn't know what overseas is like now.

"I've been there five or six times, and most of them returned after finishing business at the port. Few of them could stay for a stroll. Why, are you interested in overseas affairs?" He Nan asked with a smile.

"Just a little curious." Jin Liu fiddled with the silver bracelet in his hand, and said, "There is a chime clock in Fifth Younger Sister's room, and I found it rare when I saw it, and I heard that it was an imported product brought back to Daqin from overseas. "

"Self-ringing bell?" He Nan laughed when he heard the words, and said, "It's not a novelty overseas. Some families in some small countries have one, and I have two more. If you like it, I will let you know." Someone will send you one over there.”

"Really?" Jin Liu asked, if there was a chime clock, then she would not have to worry about not knowing the time in the future.

Seeing He Nan's quick nod, he happily thanked him.

"This is nothing, if you have anything else you like, just tell uncle." He Nan said with a smile.

"It's enough to have this, uncle doesn't need to spend money!" Jin Liu hurriedly said.

"You child is not greedy." He Nan still said with a smile on his face, stared into Jin Liu's eyes for a while, and asked, "I heard that you are close to Concubine Ning in the palace?"

Jin Liu was stunned for a moment, she knew that He Nan would not bring her out just to buy herself a meeting gift, she thought that he wanted to ask about the Jin family and Mrs Ru, but she didn't expect that what he wanted to ask was related to the affairs of the palace , nodded and said with a smile: "Why is it that uncle wants to sell those rare items from overseas to the palace?"

"That's not true. Your uncle and I are not the emperor yet, but I dare not sell everything to the palace. The rules in the palace are strict. If there is any mistake, I can't afford it." He Nan laughed loudly when he heard the words, The smile on his face gradually faded after he finished speaking, and he said: "Besides, the situation in the palace is tense right now. I, a commoner, didn't want to join in. If I was implicated indiscriminately because of an object, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

"That's true." Jin Liu looked at He Nan and said hesitantly, vaguely feeling that he was testing his tone, but now he clearly knew that she was close to Concubine Ning, did asking this mean that they were Not necessarily all the way?Turning quickly in his mind, Jin said, "But even though uncle is a businessman, it is inevitable to deal with people in the officialdom. Could it be that uncle has never sold or sent things to those people?"

Now Concubine Rong Gui and Concubine Ning live in peace in the harem, but the supporters on both sides are fighting openly and secretly. It is easy to see who is on which side. Jin Liu asked this to see who He Nan is closer to, so as to judge Which side is he on.

He Nan traveled all over the world and had a lot of knowledge, so he naturally knew what Jin Liu meant when she asked this question, so he glanced at her in surprise, and said with a smile: "Of course they have to deal with, but they are all adults who are related to business. There is no intersection."

The official positions related to business were taken away. What He Nan said was really general, the two transportations of salt and water, the governor of shipping, and the officials of the commercial road might have had intersections with him, so Jin Liu couldn't judge. After thinking about it, she simply didn't ask any more questions, and said a soft "oh", as if she had left the topic behind.

He Nan's eyes lit up when he saw Jin Liu, but he didn't rush to ask. He opened the curtain and saw a restaurant outside, and turned to Jin Liu, "I didn't eat anything in the morning. I'm a little hungry, how about you accompany uncle to eat something?"

"Okay." Jin Liu naturally followed suit, anyway, it wasn't her who wanted to inquire about the news, so she just waited for He Nan to make a move, and just accepted it calmly.

Seeing Jin Liu's response, He Nan asked the driver to park the carriage in front of the restaurant, and after asking the waiter in the restaurant, he took her to the box on the second floor.

This restaurant is not big, but the decoration in the box is simple and elegant. There is a small table near the window, and there is a root carving tea tray next to it. After the two sat down at the small table casually, He Nan called the waiter Come, let him go out after ordering some snacks and a pot of tea. When I looked up, I saw Jin Liu propped on the table with one hand, looking out with her head tilted, following her line of sight, but found that there was no There was nothing to see, so he asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the rouge shop below." Jin Liu pointed to a rouge shop below and said.

He Nan looked in the direction of Jinliu's fingers, and he saw a rouge shop called "Beauty Pavilion" below. From time to time, there were little maids with buns and gorgeously dressed young ladies coming in and out. Those little maids must be doing it for themselves. My master came to buy rouge, but there are so many people in and out of the world, but none of them are in ordinary clothes. It can be seen that the rouge gouache in this rouge shop is not affordable for ordinary people.

"Do you like the rouge of this shop? Do you want to go down and have a look later?" He Nan looked back and asked with a smile.

Jin Liu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It's good to have a look. When I entered the palace last time, I heard from Xiao Hong that Concubine Ning's rouge was almost used up. Anyway, she came today, so I just went to buy a box. When you go back to the palace, you have to bring it to your empress."

"I still think it's for your own use. I don't think about you but I think about the empress in the palace." He Nan looked at Jin Liu in surprise.

"I don't like to use that." Jin Liu said with a smile. She usually only uses her own balm and toilet water. These rouge powders on the market contain lead for good whitening effect, although I don't know the content. More or less, but for the sake of her own skin, she is still unwilling to use it. "But the empress likes the rouge from this company very much. She said that the balm from this company looks white when touched on the face, and the rouge is natural when rubbed on the face. It’s just something I gave to the empress, and my uncle spent a lot of money..."

"It's just some rouge and gouache, and it's not something valuable to hide. You still care about these things with your uncle." He Nan said with a smile before Jinliu finished speaking.

"That's true. Uncle is in big business, so naturally he doesn't care about the little money, but..." Jin Liu raised his eyes to He Nan and asked indifferently: "What should Jin Liu tell the empress? Did Jinliu buy those, or did my uncle buy them?"
