Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 21
But then Kong Linglong showed a faint smile, which made Nie Qianqian feel in a trance that the indifference just now was just an illusion.

Kong Linglong stretched out her hand to support Nie Qianqian, and said softly, "Don't kneel to me, you are just forced to do so."

Nie Qianqian stood up with a face full of emotion, and said, "Miss, please take in the little girl. The little girl just wants a place to live."

A safe place, Kong Linglong sneered, in her previous life, what this woman wanted was far more than just a safe place.

But on the face, Kong Linglong still could not bear it, and even sighed: "You are an innocent woman, once you sell yourself as a slave, you will become a lowly citizen, have you already thought about it?"

Nie Qianqian couldn't help being taken aback, selling herself as a slave and becoming a lowly citizen, of course she knew about it.But she originally thought that a "good-hearted" lady like Kong Linglong would only keep her by her side and would not really take away her humble status. In this way, not only would she have the opportunity to serve the lady of your family for nothing, but she would also be able to keep her Innocent.

But once Kong Linglong said this, how did she ask her to speak again?
In addition, the onlookers kept admiring: "It's Miss Kong, Miss Kong is the most benevolent and benevolent girl, you are lucky!"

"Yes, yes, selling yourself as a slave is much better than entering that dirty place, let alone a good master like the Kong family."

Nie Qianqian lowered her head, as if a heavy burden was on the back of her head. She knew that but she refused to agree at this time, and the people around would spit on her and drown her.

So she took advantage of the situation and knelt down again, and said softly: "Since the little girl has decided to sell herself as a slave, she doesn't care if she is of low status or not. As long as she can serve by Miss's side, the little girl will be satisfied."

There was another burst of admiration around, and when Nie Qianqian raised her head, she happened to see a sneer from the corner of Kong Linglong's eye.She looked again, but couldn't see anything.

Kong Linglong stretched out her hand to help her up again, and said with a faint smile, "Okay, I already understand what you mean. Although I don't lack maids by my side, since you are sincere, follow me back."

Hearing these words in her heart, Nie Qianqian felt uncomfortable for some reason.I lowered my status and was willing to be a slave, but Miss Kong's words seemed to be just giving her alms and letting her follow. This was very different from Nie Qianqian's original idea, and the gap in my heart was naturally difficult to heal.

But Kong Linglong had already turned around and said to Shopkeeper Chen, "But it has been found out?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded immediately: "Just please go over and have a look."

Kong Linglong nodded slightly, and then said to Yu'er: "Take this girl and wait for me upstairs first, and you can also tell her about the Kong family's rules by the way."

Yu'er knew the seriousness, and knew that Miss didn't want a newcomer to know too much, so she also smiled at Nie Qianqian: "Sister, you go upstairs with me first."

Nie Qianqian smiled stiffly, sister?She is a daughter of a good family, but she is only in her prime, can she be the elder sister of this rough girl in front of her?
But Yu'er ignored her, turned around and led Nie Qianqian away first.

Kong Linglong glanced at shopkeeper Chen, and then entered the inner room with shopkeeper Chen.The white pill had been ground into powder, and beside it stood a middle-aged man dressed in a white shirt, who was the pharmacist invited by the Kongshantang.

Kong Linglong sat down in the chair and said, "Let's talk."

Shopkeeper Chen glanced at the pharmacist, and the pharmacist immediately said: "Reporting to Master Shao, this small medicine has been carefully refined, and it probably contains some nourishing medicinal materials, nothing special. However, the way of refining medicine seems to be It’s very door-to-door.”

Kong Linglong frowned and looked at the pharmacist: "How to refine medicine? How should I say it?"

The pharmacist cupped his hands at Kong Linglong: "Young master, usually the medicine furnace is the main way to refine medicine, and it is fired at different temperatures of the fire, but when I refined this medicine just now, I found that the skin of this medicine is very delicate, not like It was refined with a fire like a medicine furnace, and it looks like a pill furnace."

Kong Linglong was taken aback, she was no stranger to this alchemy furnace, but the alchemy furnace was more expensive than medicine furnaces, so using the alchemy furnace to refine medicine was equivalent to using gold as a water tank.

Kong Linglong asked again: "Have you looked carefully?"

The pharmacist said: "I have confirmed it repeatedly, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. The only way to practice this level of meticulousness is to use the pill furnace. And it's not the kind of low-level pill furnace made of iron, it should be made of silver." Only the first-level alchemy furnace is possible."

Kong Linglong couldn't help standing up, "Does Xianyang City have such a pill furnace?"

The pharmacist said: "To the head of the family, the alchemy furnaces usually made of silverware are relatively small. Some rich and noble families like to take elixirs, and it is very common to carry them with them."

Carry it with you... Kong Linglong's doubts seemed to be solved smoothly, so Na Suye possessed such a pill furnace, and he also used that pill furnace to cultivate this medicine.

Since this alchemy furnace is so rare, Su Ye's identity is not so simple.

Kong Linglong felt a headache again, she really didn't want to get involved with such a person at this time.

Shopkeeper Chen saw that Kong Linglong's expression was unkind, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "I don't know what troubles Young Master has, and where did you get this elixir?"

Kong Linglong turned around in her heart and said, "Does this medicine really have the effect it says?"

The pharmacist said: "The cistanche in this medicine really has the effect of nourishing the essence and blood, coupled with the unique refining method, it really makes this medicine more effective."

Replenishing the essence and blood... Kong Linglong's face turned red and white, but she remembered that there were so many young and strong men who bought the medicine today, and that was the reason.

Seeing the young master showing such an expression, the pharmacist also seemed to feel embarrassed, coughed a few times, and stopped talking.

Kong Linglong said coldly: "Understood, there are shopkeeper Lao Chen and this pharmacist."

The pharmacist went down after speaking, and shopkeeper Chen didn't expect the medicine to be used in this way, so he asked Kong Linglong a few more questions, but he didn't ask because of his identity.

Kong Linglong had already said: "Please ask a fellow to go upstairs and ask my girls to come down, and I will go home now."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately agreed and asked Nie Qianqian and Yu'er to be invited.

When the two girls came down, Kong Linglong took a look at each of them. Seeing Nie Qianqian looking around Kong Canting Hall, she seemed to be quite amazed at the magnificence of Kong Canting Hall.

Kong Linglong brought two maids to the carriage, Yu'er went up first, and helped Kong Linglong get into the carriage as well, Kong Linglong looked back at Nie Qianqian who was hesitating there, and said, "You come up too. "

Nie Qianqian was overjoyed, but said a little nervously: "Well, as a servant, how can I ride in the same car as the young lady?"

She was quick to see the opportunity, and she already called herself a slave.

Kong Linglong said indifferently: "My Kong family doesn't have so many rules, you just come up, and there is no place to sit outside the carriage."

Only then did Nie Qianqian thank her, and carefully got into the car with her skirt in hand.

Seeing that the carriage had a larger exterior and a more magnificent interior, Nie Qianqian felt a surge of joy in his heart.Ms. Kong family, she has heard of this name before, especially a few days ago, the bold remarks about recruiting a son-in-law at the rice shop in the city have become popular in Xianyang. The wealth of the Kong family is overwhelming. Being born rich and honorable, it can be said that as long as Miss Kong is pleased, only good days await.

Thinking about it, Nie Qianqian glanced at Kong Linglong. Kong Linglong put one hand on the table and fell asleep. The face swept by light makeup was as delicate as pearls. Nie Qianqian couldn't help thinking, how could there be such a lucky woman in the world? Not only was he born with a good appearance, but he was born in a wealthy family and enjoyed all the glory.

In comparison, she, Nie Qianqian, was born in poverty, running around to earn a living, even her parents had died, she was forced to sell herself into slavery, how unfair it was.

At this time, Yu'er suddenly looked at Nie Qianqian, and Nie Qianqian quickly restrained her mind, showing a humble look. This Yu'er seemed to be Kong Linglong's confidant girl, and no matter what, she had to gain Yu'er's favor and trust first.

Yu'er said curiously: "I don't know your name yet."

Seeing that she just asked this, Nie Qianqian felt relieved and said with a smile, "My name is Nie Qianqian."

Yu'er muttered about the name, and said: "It's really nice, my name is Yu'er, my name was chosen by our master when he was alive, and I have been serving the young lady since I was a child, and the young lady also said that my name is good."

Nie Qianqian looked at Yu'er's attire, and felt half-contemptuous but also half-envious. Yu'er seemed to have been a slave in the Kong family since she was a child, and her status was obviously not high compared to those who later sold herself as slaves, but Yu'er's clothes were very different. Decent, even far more than the crude clothes of half of the slaves.It can also be seen from this that the Kong family is indeed rich, and, as a servant of his family, the treatment they receive is more or less guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Nie Qianqian felt a little better.

After a while, Kong Linglong opened her eyes and looked at Yu'er indifferently: "Order the carriage to enter through the back door, and don't go through the front door for now."

Yu'er nodded and said, "Miss, are you still worried about bumping into that Mr. Su Ye?"

Kong Linglong didn't speak, but Nie Qianqian's curiosity had already aroused, Mr. Suye?Who is this man?But both Kong Linglong and Yu'er stopped the topic, making Nie Qianqian's heart itch for a while.

Kong Linglong was not really afraid of that Suye, but after knowing the ingredients of the medicine, she felt even more uncomfortable with this person in her heart. Before she could find out the real purpose of the other party and think of a countermeasure, she would rather not touch the other party. edge.

At this moment, the carriage had already stopped.The coachman called out respectfully from outside: "Miss, we are here."

When Yu'er heard this, she got out of the car quickly, and Nie Qianqian immediately followed after seeing this.Beside the carriage, Nie Qianqian and Yu'er stretched out their hands at the same time, trying to help Kong Linglong.

Kong Linglong glanced at the two jade hands in front of her, and could see that there was a trace of nervousness under Nie Qianqian's pretended calm.
