Chapter 338
What else could be the reason? If this is the case, all of this is inseparable from the third prince Xiao Rong.
Since Ningxianglou was abandoned by Xiao Yi and Zhu Jinren hooked up with Xiao Rong, the bond between them has become deeper and deeper.
The epidemic is an opportunity for Prince Xiao Tong, or it may be a life-threatening medicine.
It would be fine if he was cured, but if not, his life would be lost.
No wonder the queen wasn't worried about this at all.
Jin Yan thought deeply, "Is there any way to get his medicine? I need a lot of it."
Zhu Jinke was stunned for a while.
He has always been the most well-informed, and of course he also knew what was going on in Pingzhou City. Since the news about the imperial master had reached the capital, the situation in Pingzhou City, the center of the epidemic, should be even more turbulent than this.
"Let me figure out a way."
Zhu Jinke had no reason to refuse Jin Yan at this time, and he couldn't refuse either.
After speaking, he left.
In the evening, Zhu Jinke sent a letter to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, stating that the Zhu family would have a small-scale banquet tomorrow, and asked her to bring a few more nobles from the aristocratic families to attend, and he would handle the rest.
Jin Yan sent someone to notify Xiao Yuexi, Bai Mingjing, Jin Ran and others overnight. When they went there the next day, a group of more than a dozen aristocratic young ladies made the Zhu family laugh so hard that they couldn't even open their eyes.
Zhu Jinke, dressed in rich brocade clothes, glanced at Jin Yan in the crowd and walked up secretly, "The old man's favorite aunt lives in Rongan Courtyard. She has an exquisite figure and extremely high skills. The old man was willing to buy many expensive varieties of Qiu. Ju, the princess may be interested in taking a look."
After saying this, he left as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't know you could come. I'm really neglecting you. Please go inside."
Zhu Jinke's face was full of smiles.
The old man also ran out in a hurry, with a smile on his face, "Everyone... please come inside and bring the fine chrysanthemum wine you bought last time, and let the kitchen cook some more dishes. We have distinguished guests here. Don't be lazy."
Everyone in the Zhu family suddenly became busy.
If only one of these people came here on weekdays, it would be a big deal, but now there were more than a dozen here at once, how could he not be happy?
Even looking at Zhu Jinke was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Ake, come on, stop hanging around in front of me and go greet all the gentlemen and ladies."
The old man pushed Zhu Jinke out and frowned again, "Where is your brother? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"Maybe I went out because of something, but I was still here just now."
Zhu Jinke said lightly and didn't seem to care.
Jin Yan sat down, and everyone in the Zhu family who was a master came out to meet them.
"The Zhu family is not as good as Prince Jin's Mansion. Many things are not on the table, which makes the princess laugh. I just got this blood jade a while ago. After thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that only the princess in the world can be worthy of it."
The old man knew that these people must be here for Jin Yan's sake. He didn't care about Jin Yan's purpose. He only knew that after today, their Zhu family's business would be much easier.
Once they enter this door, they are destined to be used by him.
Those eyes were cloudy and full of shrewd calculations.
Jin Yan glanced at it, her eyes flashing slightly. It was indeed an excellent thing, natural, transparent and clean, but she didn't like it, so she pushed it over.
"I came here today because I heard that there are good chrysanthemums in the old man's house? I wonder if you can let me see them?"
He added, "The chrysanthemums in Mingyue Tower were blooming well a while ago, but it's a pity that they have been closed in the past few days. I have no chance to see them again, alas..."
"Yes, yes, to tell you the truth, the chrysanthemums in my house were bought from Mingyue Tower. The King Chrysanthemum, the only one in the world, is at the young lady's place. If the princess wants to see it, I will send someone to see it. Go and move here.”
"No need, in that case, let's all go take a look."
Jin Yan said with a smile.
Then he asked hurriedly, "Is there any inconvenience?"
"If it's abrupt, then..."
"No, no, no, it's very convenient. The princess comes with me."
The old man nodded without any doubts.
He knew that these children of aristocratic families liked this kind of thing the most. Jin Yan often went to Mingyue Tower a while ago. Yesterday, Mingyue Tower announced that she would take a break, so she came to him today.
It seems that I really like those flowers.
The old man led the way with great interest. When he arrived at the entrance of the yard, he found that the servant guarding the door looked nervous and embarrassed.
"Master, I will go and inform my aunt right now, you..."
"roll!"
The smile on the old man's face dropped and he kicked him directly.
The servant was kicked until his face turned pale, but he still blocked the door.
Jin Yan noticed something unusual, looked around in the crowd again, briefly met Zhu Jinke's eyes, and then lowered her head again.
"Isn't it inconvenient?"
She is a dignified princess, and it is very polite to say such words.
Even if the old man knew there was something fishy in the yard at this time, he didn't dare to deny entry. He hurriedly said, "How could it be? This is just a yard where my aunt lives, there is nothing inconvenient about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a look from him, the servant was dragged down without even a chance to defend himself.
"Please!"
Mr. Zhu suppressed the doubts in his heart and made a gesture.
Jin Yan smiled and took the lead.
It seems that this aunt is indeed favored. All kinds of expensive chrysanthemums are blooming in the yard. Jin Yan can estimate at least 1 taels of silver at a glance.
The Zhu family deserves to be the richest man.
"Sister, what do you think? I'll just say that the anus looks nice, right?"
She pretended to be surprised and said something to Bai Mingjing.
Bai Mingjing's face froze, and she quickly reacted and said hurriedly, "Yes, I didn't believe it when you said that originally, but today I saw you are really top-notch."
Jin Yan invited people who were good friends with her on weekdays. When she said this, Bai Mingjing naturally followed her words.
The old man also had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
As the master, he knew very well that this courtyard was abnormal. Why was there no one doing any work? Moreover, they had been in for such a long time, and the aunt hadn't come out to greet the guests yet.
What a system!
Jin Yan looked in the direction of Zhu Jinke's finger and grabbed Jin Ran's hand, "Second brother, let's go over there and have a look."
The group of people walked not long ago when they suddenly stopped.
"Death! What day is it today and you dare to come to my place?"
The woman's voice was charming and full of energy.
As soon as he said these words, a male voice came, "What day is today? It's just because it's a day like this that no one comes. The old man wants to entertain guests in front of the house and curry favor with noble people, so he doesn't care about us."
"Haha... You, you should be more careful. Have you forgotten what happened last time? If you hadn't hid in the cupboard in time, how could we be so happy now? Well..."
"My dear, don't talk about what you have or don't have. You are so greedy for your brother. The old man is about to die. How can any brother love you so much?"
"..."
A wild sound came from the room, and the faces of the people outside the door suddenly changed.
