  Chapter 158 Sakura's Truth (5)

  Ning Yue's first reaction was, didn't the old lady send someone to notify the academy? But soon, she saw the gossip in the dean's eyes, she was afraid that her sister would not set foot in the academy because she was determined to get married, so she said: "My sister has contracted a cold and hasn't recovered yet, when she recovers, she should come. "

   "Oh, it's cold." The dean murmured, and then said, "It's nothing, you go to class, I will remember the things about the doctors!"

   "Yes." Ning Yue bowed and sent the dean away respectfully. The dean will not inquire about Ning Xi's situation for no reason, unless... the news that Ning Xi's throat was burned has spread like wildfire, this is really... strange, when did the Millennium Court become so unable to hide the news? up?

  Qiuxiang left the mansion early in the morning with a pair of cards. She took some things from the mansion, half of which were bought by herself, and half were rewarded by the third lady. The third lady has very strict requirements on her servants, she can't do anything wrong, she can't say a word wrongly, and when she works in the second lady's room, she has to work hard. But what is gratifying is that the second lady is particularly generous. She and Dongmei are both second-class maids, and the government gave them one tael. Since she also took on the role of a book boy, the mansion subsidized another one tael. After all, she can get three taels a month, which is more than the monthly money of a housemaid! Then, the second young lady rewarded some materials and jewelry from time to time, all of which were very valuable, and she carefully preserved them all.

  Aniang sent someone to bring the news, saying that Dad’s rheumatism had happened again. She remembered that there was a pharmacy on South Street, which sold medicines for difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Dad used their ointment once, and the effect was very significant. Too bad it's too expensive to use later. Now she has saved some money, which can be used to buy medicine.

From the General's Mansion to South Street, it is a full seven miles. In order to save money for hiring a carriage, she chose to walk. It was already lunch time when she arrived at Zhang Ji Medicine Store. She was hungry, so she went to the small noodle stall on the street first. I ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

  The boss saw that she was dressed neatly, and he was afraid that she was a decent maid from a wealthy family, so he charged her an extra penny.

She put down her burden and started to eat. Unexpectedly, her eyes swept away and she saw an unusually familiar figure. She suspected that she was wrong, and kept staring at him until the other side showed his face. She was absolutely sure that this was the Fourth Young Master Ma Jingyan.

  The fourth young master walked into a pawnshop, took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to the pawnshop owner. He didn't know what he said, but the boss waved his hand with a look of reluctance. The fourth young master frowned, and said a few more words. The boss hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand.

   It should be something, Qiuxiang guessed.

After eating the noodles, before the Fourth Young Master came out of the pawnshop, Qiu Xiang curiously walked past the door of the pawnshop, and heard the Fourth Young Master said in a pleading voice, "Give me some more, I spent a lot of money when I bought it." One thousand taels is pure mutton fat jade, you only give me one hundred taels, which is really too low!"

  Qiuxiang's heart skipped a beat. Would these high-ranking people also lower their heads to beg for help?

The owner of the **** shop took a look at the jade wrench and said, "This jade is a good jade, but you have to see where you went, little brother! I can tell you in a responsible manner, you go to another pawnshop, You can’t find a higher price than mine! I’m giving you one hundred taels because the business hasn’t opened yet.”

   "I need money urgently..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Ma Jingyan's face.

  The pawnshop owner's eyes flashed, and he was about to raise the price, but suddenly swallowed: "One hundred taels, no more! If you are not satisfied, go to another house to pawn!"
