White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 106 Did She Just Cry?
Wen Ning returned to the room.

This Pei You's bedroom, these days, she has remodeled a lot according to her own preferences, it is already very different from when she first came here, and it is completely different from her previous life.

She's pretty much used to it.

But she still didn't sleep well that night.

It's not that I doubt Pei You's ability to handle this matter, but...

There was always some uneasiness in her heart.

If it was a coincidence that the Ryukyu prince's visit was premature, and it was an accident that Zhao Xizhi prescribed medicine to Pei You early, then the collapse of the school in Jiangning Mansion was a few months earlier, what happened?
Once she was reborn, she thought she knew where everything was going and was familiar with everyone's ending, but now it seems that probably because of her variable, she made many choices that were completely different from her previous life, so many choices in this life Things did not develop according to the timeline of the previous life.

If so, will other things also deviate from the original timeline?

For example, will the Xuanping Rebellion be brought forward?
And what she's planning right now.

She first wanted to open a wine shop, first to earn money, and second to prepare for the dust-cleaning banquet.

And now she wants to open a medicine shop... Actually, it is because in the autumn of Jiahe's 16th year, there will be a plague from south to north, affecting the whole Dayin.

Countless people died in that plague. Although the epidemic in the capital was relatively mild, many good doctors and virtuous ministers were dispatched abroad, and all of them died in the epidemic area.

Including He Luan who failed to marry Wen Lan in her previous life.

But in fact, at the beginning, the epidemic was not serious. The Tai Hospital gave the prescription early on. As long as the medicine is taken according to the prescription, the epidemic can be controlled.

It's just that no one thought that someone would want to make a fortune from the epidemic.

The rare and ordinary medicinal herbs in the prescriptions were sold at sky-high prices, and they could not even be bought with money. As a result, the epidemic continued to ferment.

A natural disaster abruptly turned into a man-made disaster.

In fact, Wen Ning didn't think about how capable she would be, what a hero to save the people from the fire and water. She just thought of the scene where refugees were everywhere in the capital and everyone was in danger, and she thought of receiving He Luan as a medical girl who went south. Grief at the news of her death in a foreign country, trying to see if she could do something to the best of her ability.

At that time, the rare medicinal herb was called "Shi Ying", and it was not expensive on weekdays.If she could stock up in large quantities at low prices before the outbreak of the plague and send it to the affected area in time at the early stage of the outbreak, wouldn't it be possible to save many lives?
In the beginning, this was just a small idea of ​​her when she was free. After all, she was a boudoir girl who couldn't even fight a man, so she was talking about saving thousands of lives.

But with Duan Rushuang's joining, with the success of the wine shop, and with her occasional wins once or twice in the confrontation with Pei You, she became more and more confident.

It's like walking forward step by step, calm down, and confident. Things that used to be out of reach have become within reach.

As long as she spreads the medicine, before next autumn, with the one-year profit of the wine shop and the 1 taels of silver Pei You gave her, she can stock up on Quan Dayin's "Shiying".

But now that the timeline of so many things has been advanced, will this plague be advanced?
It stands to reason that natural disasters will not be affected by human beings, just like the weather that should have snowed, it will not turn into a clear sky just because she got up late.This plague will not change the time just because some of her behaviors in this life are different from her previous life.

It's just that I feel uneasy in the end.

This plague was too destructive. After that, the Jiahe Dynasty no longer flourished, the borders were frequently harassed, and the court did not establish the East Palace. ...

Wen Ning sighed, deciding not to think so much.

You have to eat every meal, and you have to do things one by one. If you think too much, it will just add trouble.
-
Pei You probably really listened to the conversation in the study that night.

For several days in a row, without Linglan Mou's energy to go outside to inquire, a secret guard would come directly to Wen Ning to report matters related to Wen's residence every day.

In just two or three days, the news that Wen's family opened a wine shop, and even floating life and drunkenness was the Wen family's story, was widely known in the capital; Lifelike.

For a while, even Wen Qi, who was not implicated, sued for leave.

Thinking of the three men staring at each other at home, wondering if the two elder brothers would take the blame for her again, and being scolded by Wen Tingchun, Wen Ning couldn't help but sigh.

But sighing, she still thought clearly.

Firstly, as Pei You said, sooner or later the matter of the wine shop will be exposed by someone with a heart, it is better to turn passive into active; secondly, she has never heard of the collapse of a school in the south of the Yangtze River and the killing of a scholar. It can be seen that King Na Rui was indeed arrested Diverted?
Does that also mean that her wine shop actually saved more than a dozen lives?
Compared with money and fame, human life is more important after all.

Wen Ning originally wanted to stay in the Duke's Mansion until this incident was over before going out, but one day Wang Qinsheng came over in a hurry, took a look at her and whispered: "Ma'am, there are people looking for the east door..."

Of course Wen Ning still remembered the east side gate, which Pei You told him was his own territory.

She hurried over and saw a man with blood on his head, and said anxiously: "Miss Wen... our wine shop was smashed!"

It took Wen Ning a long time to recognize that this person was usually in charge of the overall situation, and the shopkeeper Chen Shang who was praised by Wen Qi, didn't even bother to change clothes, so she immediately went to the winery with him.

"Ma'am, don't blame me." Chen Shang got into the carriage and realized that it was time to change his address, "Recently, there are a lot of things going on in the wine shop, and it is not suitable to go to find Mr. Wen, and Miss Duan... and it is inconvenient to go out, but such a For big things, I absolutely dare not make up my mind, so I have no choice but to come to you."

"Is sister Rushuang also involved in this matter?" Wen Ning asked.

Chen Shang sighed: "Master Duan knew that Miss Duan was involved, so he was furious. It's been a while since Miss Duan went out, and even a letter couldn't get in."

Wen Ning clenched the handkerchief tightly.

"How is the wine shop today?"

Chen Shang sighed again: "They are all ordinary people, and I don't know who incited them to say that our winery makes black-hearted money, seeks the people's fat and anointment, rushes in and robs them, and now... hey..."

Wen Ning frowned lightly, just in front of a medical clinic, she stopped the carriage: "Master Chen, go and see the injury first, I know the matter, just leave it to me to deal with it."

"But……"

"Don't worry, there are people following the Duke's Mansion."

In fact, Wen Ning only brought Linglan with her, but according to Pei You's behavior, when she goes out, there must be a hidden guard by her side, so she is not worried.

It's just that when he arrived at the winery, he didn't ask the hidden guard to use him.

The crowd dispersed early, and the wine shop... was almost in ruins.

Wen Ning stood inside, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She forced herself to dismiss the injured workers in the winery, saying that the winery was temporarily closed, and gave them a sum of money to go home to recover from their injuries.

Back on the carriage, I couldn't hold back a few tears.

It's really deceiving!
She hasn't participated in Fushengzui yet, but she arranged every plant and tree in this winery by herself.The landscape paintings hanging in the winery were all embroidered by her stitch by stitch over several months.

Now it's fine, she was torn apart, trampled and thrown on the ground like mud, how could she not feel distressed?
Linglan followed beside her, her brows were wrinkled, but she couldn't say any comforting words.

When something like this happens, it's lucky that people are fine, how can they care about the gains and losses of things?

The wine shop came and went back and forth, and it was already afternoon, which happened to be the time for the court to be on duty.

When Wen Ning got off the carriage, she saw Pei You get off the carriage as well.

Having just seen the tragedy of the winery, seeing this "culprit", I feel a little bit worried.

After all, they were still "quarreling" to the outside world, Wen Ning simply withdrew her eyes, and took Linglan to take a step ahead without saying a word.

Pei You naturally also saw Wen Ning.But before he could react, the man glanced at him indifferently, turned around and left.

Pei You paused, stared at the back for a few times, but didn't ask anything, and stepped into the mansion.

As he was approaching the main hall, he suddenly stopped and asked Gu Fei beside him, "Did she cry just now?"

Gu Fei who was still thinking about what to have for dinner: Her?which her?What are you crying for?

Pei You gave a "tsk", and walked towards Qinghui Hall.

As soon as he entered the study, he called Tu Bai.

Tu Bai is much smarter than Gu Feifei. When Pei You's carriage arrived in front of the Duke's Mansion, it was the time when he had finished communicating with all the stakes. As soon as he was summoned at this moment, he immediately replied:
"My lord, the people who were incited today smashed the wine shop in anger. Madam just came back from the wine shop."

Pei You did not sit in front of the desk as usual, but stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

Wen Ning not only remodeled the bedroom, but also made many changes in the yard.The most obvious is that there are many more patchwork flowers.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Tu Bai was about to continue, but he heard Pei You say: "Who made Madam cry?"

Uh……

Bai Bai didn't know the details of the carriage.

But he only paused for a moment, and then he replied: "The crowd dispersed when Madam went, and Madam was not injured, but the wine shop was smashed quite badly... There was a landscape picture that Madam had embroidered for a long time was destroyed. I stopped in front of the embroidered picture for a long time, thinking it was... a little sad."

Pei You frowned invisibly, turned around and sat back in front of the table, picked up a piece of parchment on the table, and unfolded it.

"There is no other movement today?"

"No." Tu Bai replied, "It's still just the faction of King Rui instigating the flames, and the restless people today are also instigated by the people under King Rui."

Pei You stared at the names on the parchment, his eyes sank.

After half a month, he dropped Wen Tingchun's bait, but the other party didn't take the bait.

He actually saw through his intentions.

A person who is not small, smart and quick, but so cautious about exposing himself... His eyes flicked over the names listed on the parchment.

Who will it be?

"It's pointless to wait any longer." After a long while, Pei You raised his black eyes, "Get ready to take up the thread."

"Yes!" Tu Bai took the order.

Before Pei You let him back down, he continued to stand still and wait for orders. He thought that Pei You would give some more details, but he turned his eyes to the yard again, and threw the parchment aside:
"Order someone to bring over the landscape map of the distillery. Let me see what kind of treasure it is."

　"Stone Ying" is fictional.
