Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Even though they didn't know Xue Yin, he seemed to be very popular, young and handsome, and they immediately guessed that he was the crown prince of Prince Xiang who was rumored to have been cured by Jiang Lianzhu.

"This must be His Royal Highness, I have admired him for a long time." Several people stood up to greet Xue Yin, with flattering smiles on their faces.

Xue Yin and Jiang Lianzhu said hello, and then they paid attention to a few people and showed a faint smile: "I guess these are the owners of the medical center. I am here today to represent the sincerity of our Prince Xiang Mansion."

"Yes, yes, yes." Several people looked eager and quickly poured him tea.

Just kidding, Prince Xiang has been a popular person around the emperor recently, and it is rare for them to come into contact with such a person.

After everyone arrived, several people began to discuss the plan to establish an alliance.

The final result of the agreement was that each of several medical clinics would provide one person to help distribute the decoctions every day, and the medicinal materials in the medical clinics would be provided to Jiang Lianzhu at the original price and the price would not be increased.There is no charge for medical treatment for ordinary people and refugees, and medicines are paid at half the original price, with Jiang Lianzhu making up the rest.If the medical center has food, it will be provided to Prince Xiang's Mansion first.

The owners of several medical clinics are still satisfied with this. After all, they have not lost anything, but have made a profit.You must know that because of Jiang Lianzhu's reputation, many people are more willing to go to her medical clinic for medical treatment, while very few people go to their medical clinic.

But now that they have cooperated to form an alliance, it is equivalent to being tied to Jiang Lianzhu, and their future business will definitely be affected by this.

As for food, let alone mention it.As a businessman, I will make some preparations to prevent problems before they happen, and I have a large information network. I had already prepared some stocks in advance when I heard that there was a snowstorm there.Now that they have received the benefits, they do not recommend leaking some from their hands to please Prince Xiang's Mansion. After all, prices are currently being suppressed, and they do not dare to take any action.

Several people confirmed the covenant, Jiang Lianzhu wrote the treaty on the paper, several people took turns to sign, and they chatted for a while before leaving.

After a few people left, Xue Yin's mouth was dry, so he refilled a cup of tea, took a few sips to moisten his throat, and then looked at the two of them: "While the river has not frozen in the past few days, I want to drink some tea first. Let’s go to the south of the Yangtze River.” He said, folding his outer coat and sighing, “It’s such a cold day and I have to go on a long journey. Hey, I’m an official in the imperial court. It’s not for nothing.”

The weather is indeed very cold. Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan were walking on the street just now, and few people came out to set up stalls.Even though Jiang Lianzhu was wearing thick clothes, she could still feel the coolness penetrating through her clothes.

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Xue Yin with some sympathy, then asked doubtfully: "Why go to Jiangnan in such cold weather?"

Sighing, Xue Yin raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It's because the imperial court has a batch of medicinal materials trapped. I need to go over there to check the situation and escort the medicinal materials back in person."

Liao Yunchuan understood: "In this case, we should indeed go down earlier. According to the current situation, the river will soon freeze. Anyway, we have to go down sooner or later, so why not set off tomorrow? You don't know how long it will be to go back and forth. It’s time.”

Xue Yin thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, the condition of the batch of medicinal materials was unknown. If there was an accident and he failed to come back in time, it would be troublesome.

"Brother Liao is right. I will go back and pack up now and leave for Jiangnan tomorrow." Xue Yin put down the tea cup and said with some helplessness.

"Since we are leaving Beijing tomorrow, let's consider this meal as a celebration for the prince." Liao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows, raised his glass to Xue Yin, and then raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.

Xue Yin glanced at him speechlessly. He was so perfunctory and careless. Did he really think that he didn't know that the food on the table was ordered by the same people just now?

He suspected that Liao Yunchuan first remembered that he liked Jiang Lianzhu in the first place, and secretly despised him for being so small-minded but not showing off his beauty on his face.

Because a few people were talking about things just now, the food on the table was almost untouched.The three of them were eating and drinking. After a while, Xue Yin raised his head and looked at the two of them: "I haven't noticed any big moves by the Prime Minister recently, but I feel that it doesn't look like him anymore. He is so quiet now. He can't be secretly holding back something good." Bar?"

If it had been in the past, the Prime Minister would have caused them some trouble every now and then.

Xue Yin always looked as gentle as jade. Jiang Lianzhu was slightly startled when he heard him say a bad word this time, thinking that she heard wrongly.Looking up, he looked calm and didn't seem to notice that he had made a mistake, which showed how deeply he hated the Prime Minister.

Maybe he is used to cursing in his heart every day.

"I really haven't noticed that he has made any big moves recently, and he keeps a low profile in everything he does." Liao Yunchuan mused. If he followed the Prime Minister's temperament, when he found out that he was deliberately driving up food prices, he would definitely go all the way until there was nothing more to be squeezed out of it. Until a little bit of oil and water comes out.But this time, he did stop very quickly, and there was no evidence of their duty.

Hearing this, Xue Yin felt really uneasy. He raised his eyes and looked at Liao Yunchuan with a sincere tone: "I am going to Jiangnan this time and I don't know when I will be back. I hope Brother Liao can help take care of Prince Xiang's Mansion."

After all, Prince Xiang's Mansion has always been a thorn in the side of the Prime Minister. According to past experience, there is no chance that the Prime Minister will take advantage of his departure to attack Prince Xiang's Mansion again.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Liao Yunchuan nodded.

It's one thing that two people don't like each other. It's just that they dislike each other. If something big is involved, the two of them are naturally of the same mind.

Xue Yin felt relieved after hearing his answer. The three of them had enough to eat and drink, and then they said goodbye and left.

On the way back, Liao Yunchuan saw that she had solved the problem on his mind, and his mood was obviously much better. He couldn't help but curled his eyes and smiled on his lips: "The emperor has already taken measures to resettle the refugees. I think the situation will be much better in the future. , you don’t have to worry so much.”

"That's very good." Jiang Lianzhu sighed softly, "I have seen so many separations between life and death these days. If we can really give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it will be much better than now."

She was used to seeing life and death, and she had even killed many people, but never had she felt as complicated as seeing such a scene.

After sending Dabao away, the news made her feel a lot better, and most of the breath that was stuck in her chest was gone.

"I went to see Xiao Ping in the afternoon today. He got along well with the prince." Knowing that she was worried about Liao Xiao Ping, Liao Yunchuan went to see him first after going to the court. At that time, he saw the two of them sitting together and reading in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere was great. They were quite harmonious, perhaps because the two were similar in age and there was no generation gap when they got along.
