Chapter 171: Do your best

When Gu Shiba Niang said this, Lingbao couldn't help sniffing, and looked at Gu Shiba Niang who picked up the scroll again and read it peacefully.
She returned to the wind and snow that day in a daze, helpless and helpless. She stretched out her hands in front of her eyes and pulled them gently so that their brothers and sisters jumped out of the mire.
I only wanted to sell my life as a slave to pay for my life-saving grace, but when I think about it, the life-saving grace is not only unpaid, but it has been kept behind by these hands.
She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, watching Shiba Niang attentively, and then turned around gently and went out.
At this time, sunlight and spring breeze would never penetrate in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. There was only darkness and dampness, cobwebs all over, and rats on the ground were rampant and swaying. Obviously, they were more powerful than people here.
There is neither the screaming of injustices nor the groans of inmates. It is as quiet as death, and this kind of silence is creepy.
The sound of footsteps broke the silence here.
"Who?" The jailer yelled vigilantly, casting his gaze toward the end of the long corridor, and a figure soon appeared in his sight that had already adapted to the darkness.
"It's the second young master." A smile immediately appeared on the jailer's face, and he respectfully took it over, "Are you here? Just tell me what's the matter."
Lingyuan's expression wrapped in black cloak humbled indifferently, and his steps slowly went inward without stopping.
"My lord..." the jailer cautiously called, only to see Lingyuan raised the waistband in Yang Yang's hand that belonged to Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, and hung his head hurriedly without daring to speak.
Lingyuan walked all the way to the innermost, looking at the narrow cell that never saw the sun, and lost consciousness for a moment.
At this time last year, he also stood here, looking at the tormented drowsy teenager, full of worry, sadness and anxiety. He thought it was just an accident. He will never stand in prison in such a state of mind in the future. He has no father and no mother. With no relatives or friends, no one in this world except Gu Hai's family can make him move.
But what is going on now?
"Little brother, it's you..." an old voice came from within.
Lingyuan didn't know what to say for a while, accompanied by Xixi Suosuo's voice, slowly moved a person from the corner of the wall.
I haven’t seen him for a few months. Yang Taisheng, who was escorted back by his own hands, has completely changed himself. He is thin, with only a handful of bones, messy beard and hair, and his eyes are in the eye sockets. In the end, he still did not escape Zhu Chunming’s hands and fell. When he arrived at the prison where he was supposed to come, although he was snatched by the Five City Soldiers for more care, that leg was still broken.
"I also said that the food was delivered early today... It turned out to be the little brother..." He laughed.
He stretched out his long hair in front of his forehead, and glanced at the Lingyuan standing outside the prison.
"What's the matter with little brother?" he asked with a smile.
His calm voice, the scourge of jail, and the torture did not seem to leave any mark on him.
"My lord..." Lingyuan said, with a hint of anxiety in his voice, "This is the book you want..."
His hand stretched out from under the cloak, and a baggage came in.
Yang Taisheng was obviously surprised. Last time, this young man brought himself from the Five Cities Soldier Ma Siyamen. He casually said that he wanted to read a few books, but after a month, no one sent him in. It must be that my students have nowhere to go.
It seemed that Yang Taisheng wasn't quite comfortable with looking at his eyes like this, Lingyuan threw the baggage in, and turned around to leave.
"Little brother, thank you." Yang Taisheng said with a smile.
Lingyuan paused slightly, "Don't dare, and it's not a white gang."
"Thank you for your mercy." Yang Tiansheng whispered in the back.
Lingyuan stiffened, and he understood that this was a shot that was stabbed in the temple.
"Little brother, take these books, I don't need them..." Yang Taisheng continued.
Lingyuan turned around and scanned the old man's eyes, "Your eyes..."
"I'm old, these eyes are useless..." He still smiled peacefully, and stretched out his hands to brush over those turbid and godless eyes.
The prison has various penalties, one of which is smoking, which makes people feel dying in suffocation to extract a confession. This penalty is very harmful to the throat and eyes.
Lingyuan unconsciously felt his throat astringent.
"I... I don't need..." he whispered, "I can't read these books..."
"Oh..." Yang Taisheng nodded, and hesitated a little, "Then little brother would you like to listen to the old man telling you?"
Lingyuan was taken aback.
"Before he became an official, he worked as a private school teacher for ten years..." Yang Taisheng stroked his dirty beard, a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face, "I have left it for so many years, I don't know if I can make it clear..."
Lingyuan stood silent, neither answering nor rejecting.
Yang Taisheng laughed, "Look, I'm talking crazy, isn't it...little brother, go ahead."
"I can't save you..." Lingyuan interrupted him and said lightly.
Yang Taisheng laughed even louder, but the jailer on the outermost side just cast a glance, even if he turned around, he seemed to ignore everything.
"Since the old man dared to come in, he didn't plan to go out alive." He smiled and patted his stumped leg. "There are so many people who want to save the old man, and it's not impossible..."
Lingyuan was silent.
"Second Young Master, go well." Hearing the footsteps behind him, the jailer hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully. The black cloak that blended with the darkness passed by, and the cell fell into a dead silence again.
Xinjia, in the newly-purchased house in Beijing, four or five stewards hurried out, passing by Xin Chaoling and the other three who were hungover-looking, just nodding simply to say hello.
"Look at these people, do you still see us as masters?" one person said angrily.
"Come on, we know who we are, and others know it too" Xin Chaoling patted his brother on the shoulder with a folding fan and yawned. , So we are not at all useful and useless..."
In the study, there were only two pretty maidservants standing with a smile, organizing the four treasures of the study.
"What did you do?" Xin Chaoling asked again just as if he had misheard her ears.
"Take Chun went." The maid Qiao replied with a smile.
"I heard that right?" Xin Chaoling turned his head and asked the two brothers beside him.
The two brothers shook their heads.
"Big brother in spring?" Xin Chaoling shook his head and smiled, "Big brother isn't the bustle the most..."
At this time in the outskirts, Lingbao stretched out his hand to tear off the kite string, and watched the beauty kite swaying in the sky with Gu Shiba Niang swaying away.
"Master, do you want to let go of bad luck?" Gu Shiba Niang turned her head and smiled at Xin Chaoyang, who was sitting on the ground under the weeping willow.
"Am I lucky?" Xin Chaoyang smiled slightly.
"That's not the same..." Lingbao said with a little sourness, her gaze couldn't help but cast to the side of the road, her brother never came...
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, took Jinpa to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and took the tea from Xin Chaoyang.
"The eldest master still has leisure time to come to spring?" She laughed.
She has given Baohetang enough money to fill its working capital. At this time, Baohetang is no longer as panicked as before. If they can survive this time, the combined run on the medicine sheds of Baohetang will It's a big loss.
Xin Chaoyang smiled, "Thank you, Lady Gu for worrying about me..." while speaking, she raised her chin slightly, "but your bad luck is here..."
Gu Shiba Niang was shocked when she heard the words, turned her head and looked, and saw a carriage parked by the side of the road. The third master of the Wang family jumped out of the carriage. Seeing the two sitting on the ground opposite each other, a trace of anger suddenly flashed.
When Gu Shiba Niang took Lingbao into the Wang's mansion, the people in the room had obviously been there for a long time. Seeing her coming in, the buzzing discussion disappeared, and all eyes fell on her.
"How is the shopkeeper Wang?" She looked at Wang Hongbin and asked in a low voice.
"Thank you Lady Gu for your concern, it's okay for the time being." Master Wang San took the call and snorted coldly.
The unkindness in his tone, Gu Shiba Niang just pretended not to hear, and Shi Ran sat down on the side.
Wang Hongbin's expression was a little awkward.
"I don't know what is going on calling me today?" Gu Shiba Niang asked.
The people in the hall looked at each other, their eyes all looking at Wang Hongbin.
"That's it..." Wang Hongbin coughed, feeling a little uncomfortable, and did not look directly at Gu Shiba Niang.
"That's right, the money is not enough, we want to borrow some more from Lady Gu." Master Wang San said directly.
Wang Hongbin glared at him, with a bit of blame. How could anyone borrow money like this? It's like a debt collector
Gu Shiba Niang's expression is still faint, "No more."
"Ha" Master Wang San let out a sneer, looked around at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Have you heard it, did you tell me what was right?"
The eyes of the people in the hall looked at Gu Shiba Niang a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shiba Niang raised her eyes and asked him lightly.
"If Ms. Gu has any difficulties, please tell me clearly that you can help if you can. Baohetang will not blame you if you can't help us. It's not good if you just face to face and cover your own way..." Mr. Wang San said coldly. Said.
Before he finished his words, Gu Shiba Niang suddenly stopped the tea cup in her hand on the table, making a crisp sound.
Looking at her gaze, Master Wang San couldn't help but feel cold. What kind of look is this, indifferent, cold, and how can there be such a look in a daughter's family in the world?
Wang Hongbin, who was on the side, had met him. It was in Jiankang that year. When Baohetang pointed to Gu Shiba Niang to tell her to understand, the girl had such a look, and he couldn't help standing up.
He had personal experience of this girl's ruthlessness.
Just when he wanted to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere, Gu Shiba Niang's eyes fell.
"I'm going to see Mr. Wang's shopkeeper." She stood up and said.
The voice was flat and there was no emotion in it.
Wang Hongbin breathed a sigh of relief, stopped the third master Wang who was still talking, and hurriedly sent someone to lead Gu Shiba Niang to the back hall.
"...Is it wrong? Who doesn't know that Da Yousheng wants to cage her, Lang Youqing concubine intentionally, believes that she will help us desperately? Dreaming? Who will let us not have a good son."
The door of the house was closed, blocking the angry voice of Master Wang San.
"Why this person?" Lingbao gritted his teeth angrily, turned around and was about to go back.
Gu Shiba-niang stretched out her hand to hold her, "Some people in this world have never made sense. They only believe what they think, and they won't listen to what you say, so there is no need to talk to them in vain."
"It's obviously their own fault, and they are useless. The young lady borrowed so much money from them. They are not good. Not only do they not remember the gratitude, but they have hatred too much" Ling Bao said angrily.
"How about holding grudges? Am I afraid of him?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled, pulled her away, and followed the guide and walked into Wang Yizhang's room.
The servants and maids gave salutes.
"How is the old man?" Gu Shiba Niang asked in a low voice.
Wang Yizhang's wife gently wiped her tears, "It's only been a few days..."
"Old lady, the old lady asked if Lady Gu is here? Please speak with Lady Gu." A maid turned out and whispered.
Gu Shiba-niang nodded and turned into the inner room. She unexpectedly saw Wang Jinyi there. They hadn't seen him again since they poured tea on the big medicine meeting.
Seeing Gu Shiba-niang coming in, Wang Jin stood up, stepped back and lowered his head.
"Lady Gu..." Wang Yizhang called in a faint voice.
Gu Shiba Niang looked at the old man with mixed feelings.
"Ms. Gu, we are all cleaned up..." Wang Yizhang smiled weakly, and said without beginning and ending.
Wang Jinyi couldn't help but look up.
Gu Bainiang nodded and reached out to hold Wang Yizhang's thin hand, "Mr. Wang, I will save the name Baohetang..." After a short pause, with a wry smile, "Mr. Wang, please be considerate. I am also a life-saver, I can only do so much..."
"Enough..." Wang Yizhang said softly, shook Gu Shiba Niang's hand, "Thank you..."
"Thank you too..." Gu Shiba Niang's nose was slightly sour.
Three days later, Wang Yizhang, the third-generation leader of Baohetang, passed away. At the same time, Baohetang did not accept Gu Shiba Niang’s suggestion, and followed the delay and reconciliation, but once again purchased a large number of products on the market. Guizhi, two months later, under the tremendous pressure of all the medicine sheds in the capital to vowed not to repair guizhi this year, in June, Baohetang sold Guizhi and lost one million taels of silver. It was insolvent and had to sell the insurance. Hetang.
Defeated like a mountain, Baohetang withdrew from the world of medicine overnight. As Wang Yizhang instructed in advance, anyone who came to buy Baohetang would require the brand of Baohetang to be purchased together. Before the large-scale sale to repay the debt, someone had bought the Baohetang brand at a high price.
Wang Hongbin was standing in the yard. Basically all his servants had already been sold. Several others had left the capital and returned to their hometown. This house was originally to be sold, but he bit his teeth and stayed at the price of selling it. My own property, no shops, no property, how difficult it is to imagine the future, especially when they were born and grew up in good clothes, women and children crying from the house, Let this atmosphere become more sad.
"Master, master..." An old home ran in breathlessly.
"Why? Someone is coming to collect the debt again?" Wang Hongbin asked without turning his head, "Let them come in, pick your own, and take what you should take..."
"No, sir, Gu Niangzi sent this..." the home courtyard said anxiously.
Wang Hongbin turned around abruptly and looked at the black, bright and old plaque with the word Baohetang in his hands in his home courtyard. The three-foot man did not shed tears in the face of such a major change. Wang Hongbin's eyes could not help but slightly red.
He walked a few steps quickly, as if he wanted to rush out to meet Gu Shiba Niang, but in the end he still held his foot, and there were some things that didn't need to be said, it was enough in his heart.
He reached out and took the plaque. Only then did he understand that Wang Yizhang had to take the risk to introduce the King of Wenjun on behalf of Gu Shiba Niang, regardless of the opposition of his family. The old lady was so aware that he had already guessed at that time. Don’t you have a big trouble.....
It's all these younger generations are useless, they are used to enjoying the blessings left by their ancestors, but they have not developed the ability to continue glory.
"Second Uncle, I must revive Baohetang." Wang Hongbin knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the ancestral house.
Sitting in the carriage, Lingbao remembered the defeated Wang Family Court, and couldn't help but caress his chest, "It's really dangerous to do business, so rich, but you lose if you lose..."
"It's more than just doing business," Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "It's just those princes and generals who said defeat was just a blink..."
The prince general...Ling Bao naturally thought of Zhu Chunming and his brother, his expression could not help being sad.
"It's not easy for a person to live. If you lose, you lose. As long as the person is still there, everything starts again, it's not a big deal..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled and comforted her.
"Lady Gu" accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, someone called from behind, "Please wait."
Gu Shiba Niang lifted the curtain of the car to look, and saw that it turned out to be Wang Jinyi.
Most of the Wang family have left the capital, especially those in the family who have the head, face, and position. After this result, they have no face to mix in the capital, and they are left with insignificant little people, and they don’t care about being made fun of by others. Staying in the capital can support yourself.
Wang Jinyi is Master Sun from the royal family, but he hasn't left yet?
"What is he trying to make?" Lingbao looked wary. These people are simply unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
Wang Jinyi didn't come close, but got off the horse not far away, suddenly bent over at her for three prayers, and then he mounted and left without saying a word.
"What do you mean? To make it ugly on purpose?" Lingbao stared, this one had never given a good face when he saw them, let alone a salute, and suddenly came such a show, especially when he was splashed in public. Facing water, after failing to help them bankrupt the Baohetang, Lingbao felt that the gift was not meant to be a gift.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and let Ah Si move on.
"Everyone can figure it out, and then come back again..." She leaned on the frame, sighed slightly, and said in a daze, "I'm really too stupid... I lived all those years in vain but I was confused... dead I don’t understand...no, I don’t understand even if I die...if it’s not for a new start..."
"Miss is stupid?" Lingbao exaggerated exaggeratedly, "Then there are not many smart people in this world... How can the lady be stupid? Miss can guess everything and do everything right..."
It didn't come easily~EbookFREE.me~ Gu Shiba Niang smiled, and she said that she didn't talk about it anymore.
After the contract with Da Yousheng expired, Gu Shiba Niang did not renew her contract. Although countless pharmacies came to visit every day, she never signed a contract with anyone for the exclusive supply.
"Nowadays, she doesn't need to use this to boost her confidence..." Xin Chaoyang said lightly, shaking the folding fan, "Now she has really become stronger inside..."
"If you can't comfort her when the eagle is young, then you don't have to think about it once the eagle spreads its wings." The elderly old man said with some regret.
"Then let her fly." Xin Chaoyang smiled and looked at the blue sky in August.
