Compared with the splendid Huayuetang, Ruo Su Zhai looks much more elegant, with two plates of gentleman orchids placed at the door. The guys are dressed in a kind of green clothes and the cuffs are embroidered with silver patterns.
At the entrance of Ruo Su Zhai, from time to time, a magnificent carriage stopped outside the stone steps, and the people attentively greeted the guests one by one.
When Xiuyi and Lorna walked to the entrance of the shop, a buddy immediately greeted them, looked at the two without any trace, their eyes paused on the blue eyes of Xiuyi, and then reached out to make a plea: "This lady Please." His attitude is just polite, not hot.
Snob!She was disdainful in knowing her clothes, knowing that the man didn't think he was coming in a carriage, and he was dressed casually, so he didn't care about himself.
Laying clothes is too lazy to compare with these snobbish eyes, and said lightly: "What good is your shop..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a sharp female voice: "The shopkeeper, I'm an old customer of Su Zhai. Can't you sell me a box of this new "Han Yue Jiao"? ...You wouldn’t want to sell to Mrs. Xu?"
Looking at it soundly, I saw a middle-aged woman in purple and gold brocade braids standing in front of the counter, hanging her eyebrows and triangular eyes, looking a bit tricky.
The middle-aged woman stared at the small shell-shaped porcelain jar on the counter. The porcelain jar was very delicately made, with gold-plated edges. The lid and the body were painted with delicate and delicate plum blossoms. It makes people put it down.
"Mrs. He, why?"
Behind the counter, there was a woman wearing a dark red auspicious Ruzi pattern, about forty years old, with a reunion face and a hint of shrewdness in her kindness, apparently the head of Ruo Su Zhai.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This'Half Moon Jiao' is really not for sale. Mrs. He, you are a patron, and I do not hide from you that the process of making this jar of grease is extremely complicated and it takes a month to get it Such a small jar. Princess Shizi set it last month."
"Shizi Princess?!" Mrs. He blurted out in surprise, "The shopkeeper, this half-moon is actually Princess Shizi's order?"
The shopkeeper straightened his chest contentedly, and said flauntingly: "That's it. Princess Shizi is a regular visitor here! If we are so innovative, what kind of old names do we like?
"Since it was booked by Princess Shizi, that's all." Mrs. He was very sorry, and then said, "The shopkeeper, wait for your master to create a new'Half Moon Jiao', you must first notify me Ah! Silver is never a problem."
The shopkeeper's smile echoed, and told the man to send the lady Mrs. He away.
When Mrs. He left, the shopkeeper was about to put away the small porcelain jar. It was dark in front of her, and there was a young woman with a pair of blue eyes in front of her.
"This lady..." The shopkeeper's habit smiled enthusiastically.
She didn’t want to make a courtesy with her, and directly said: "The shopkeeper, I also want to see this fat."
The shopkeeper's smile closed, and he looked up and down, and said lukewarmly: "This lady, the'Half Moon Jiao' in our shop is not for sale." There was a trace of impatience in her tone, as if to say, really I don’t know what to do, but I heard that this fat was pre-ordered by the Princess of the World, so I had to make it up!
Could it not be seen by oneself?Then I really got ahead of Nangong Yue!Putting his clothes on his eyes, he said, "The shopkeeper, you are in business... Is it really a month to make this small pot of "Half Moon Jiao"?"
"..." The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth was a little stiff, and a guilty conscience flashed in his eyes.
Placing clothes in his eyes, he said lightly: "As for the shopkeeper, you just want to be a "curious commodity." Why do you not get along with silver money when you are wealthy?! I'm out of five hundred, what do you think?"
"This..." The shopkeeper pinched the small porcelain jar in his hand, and hesitated.
Shaking his lips disdainfully, taking advantage of the shopkeeper's lack of attention, he suddenly took a small porcelain jar from the other party's hand and smiled: "The shopkeeper, this jar'Half Moon Jiao' sold me, you can do more work One can for the Princess of the World."
With that, she made a wink for Lorna behind her, and Lorna immediately took a silver ticket from her sleeve and put it on the counter.
The shopkeeper stared at the five hundred and two denominations of silver tickets, her eyes lit up, and it was hard to conceal the greedy color. She originally wanted to grab the small porcelain jar in her hands, but her hand was still in midair... …
A glance of pride flashed in the eyes of the dressmaker, and said casually: "The shopkeeper, I have to buy some rouge and head oil. What can you recommend?"
It was heard that the smart eyes of the shopkeeper were brighter, and she said, "Yes, yes!" She opened the counter and took out a mahogany tray from which there were several small and delicate porcelain jars. Jedi introduced...
Half an hour later, with his clothes full, he left Lorna and left with her head raised, her haze swept away.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically sent the swing clothing to the door until the shape of the swing clothing disappeared at the corner of the street. The shopkeeper turned back to the shop, and the corner of his mouth still had a polite smile.
The shopkeeper told the buddy to look at the shop in front, but he picked the curtain and went to the VIP room at the back.
A Tsing Yi maid who was guarding the door didn't enter the house, and led the shopkeeper directly into the house. The faint tea fragrance lingered in the house, quiet and far away.
The low eyebrow of the shopkeeper stepped forward, and the respectful and restrained look was very different from when he was outside.
"Concubine Shizi," she bowed her knees gracefully to the woman sitting in the upper Taishi chair. "The Saint Baiyue has gone."
Nangong Yue responded, slowly lowering the tea cup in her hand, and a small smile was drawn from the corner of her mouth, saying, "Troubled shopkeeper."
This Ruo Su Zhai is actually one of the industries that the old prince left to Xiao Yi. Fortunately, it did not fall into the hands of the little Fang, but was run by the celebrity of the old prince for more than ten years.After arriving at Luoyue City, Nangong Yue took it back and invited a master from Jiangnan to make rouge gouache.
Over the past year, Ruo Su Zhai's reputation in Luoyue City has become one of the best in the world.However, the people in Luoyue City only knew that this was an old shop, and no one knew that it was actually the property of Bixiaotang.
And if the director of Su Zhai can keep this shop under the eyes of Xiao Fang for more than ten years, it is naturally credible.
Now that the lipstick has been "sold" to the dressing, the Wuhe cream is good or bad. Let the dressing prove it yourself...
Nangong Yue gently spoke with the shopkeeper for a while, and then picked some rouge gouache from Ruo Su Zhai, and then went home.
Back at Bixiaotang, Nangong Yue ordered Ying'er to take the rouge gouache and give it to the girls in the palace.
Yinger bowed her knees, she went to Yuebiju first, and then went to the courtyard of Xiao Ni in the second room.
Xiao Ni's eldest daughter Sang Rou greeted the news and said, "Sister Ying'er, the girl is copying sutras." She said with some embarrassment, "My wife made the girl invisible until the copy was finished. Sister Ying'er Just give it to me. Please thank Princess Shizi for my girl."
Copy sutra?
Ying'er was slightly startled, but she also heard that the second lady believed in Buddha, and she often took her daughter to vegetarians and copied Buddhist scriptures.
So she handed the rouge gouache to Sang Rou, and then she left.
After Yinger left, the smile on Sang Rou's face disappeared at once. She hurried back to the inner room and lifted the bead curtain. At first glance, she saw Xiao Ni's face leaning on the beauty's couch in disgrace, dumbfounded. Looking out the window.
"Girl, Princess Shige ordered Yinger's sister to send you some rouge gouache and said that it was made by Ruo Su Zhai in the season."
Seeing Xiao Fei didn't respond, Sang Rou put the rouge gouache lightly on the dressing table and was about to speak. Xiao Ni's breath suddenly rushed, again and again, heavy and urgent, and his chest was undulating.After a while, her forehead was dripping with sweat and her body gradually curled up.
"girl!"
Sang Rou shouted anxiously and hurriedly, "Slaughter-in-law will get you medicine."
"Don't..." Xiao Ni raised her hand, her lips squeezed tightly.
She doesn't want it!
Since returning on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ni has thought a lot about how she met Gu Girl in Huanxi Pavilion, how to reunite with Gu Girl when she returned the string of white jade plum pendants, and how to foolishly and ignorantly serve With the medicine given by Gu girl...
In fact, since these days, the frequency of her asthma attacks has increased significantly. Originally, she had a rare attack for a few months, but now, she has frequent attacks every few days, and this interval is getting shorter and shorter.
Any method is useless, only the medicine given by Gu girl can be relieved.
Just like at the moment...
"Girl..." Sang Rou's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to shout.
Xiao Ni endured desperately, but as her breathing became more and more rapid, her body seemed to be eating tens of thousands of ants.Her consciousness gradually blurred, as if that day.
She could no longer control herself, only to reach out desperately, moaning painfully: "Pill, give me medicine..."
Sang Rou was stunned for a moment, and he quickly picked up the small porcelain bottle from the dressing table, scooped out a small spoon of black plaster, and fed it to Xiao Ni's mouth.
As soon as the medicine entered, Xiao Ni's condition soon improved. She first breathed gradually, and then her face became rosy.After a while, she slowly sat up and had completely returned to normal, as if the pain just like death was false, but Xiao Ni knew that everything was true...
"Auntie, girl." Sang Rou pinched the small porcelain bottle and was about to cry. "There is not much medicine in it."
Xiao Ni slowly looked back at her, and heard Sang Rou said: "The medicine is only enough for two or three times, girl, girl... what should we do?"
What should I do?
Xiao Ni did not know what to do.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Gu girl finally gave her medicine, let her think about it when she returned, and warned her that if she told others about it, it would never be possible to get medicine from her again.
The pain at the time of the attack made Xiao Ni not as good as death. She dared not try it easily, nor did she want to break her escape route.
Originally, she was thinking, if she could get through it, she would tell her about it, but she couldn't get through... In the past few days, she had two episodes, but none of them could get through the incense stick. time.
You can still take the medicine three times, do you really have to ask the girl...
But how could Gu Gu give her the medicine so easily?Of course impossible!
What should she do……
"Sang Rou," Xiao Ni said bitterly, "Next time, you tied me up..."
Sang Rou was flabbergasted and busy: "How can this be!"
Xiao Ni's gloomy eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness. She refused to accept the defeat. She wanted to give herself one last chance...
"Sang Rou." Xiao Ni held her hand tightly, as if holding the last life-saving straw. "Now, only you can help me!"
A cold piece in Sang Rou's heart: How could her girl suffer so much!
But what options do they have?
Unconsciously, the dark clouds in the sky outside were stacked one after another, and the thunder from the distance made the mood of the master and servants more depressed...
Time passed quickly. On the 23rd of the first lunar month, Nangong Yue accepted the placard from Please.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, the dress-up came to Bixiaotang again.
In the face of Nangong's calm smile, the dressing heart suffocated for a long time.
Nangong Yue's gaze paused on her flamboyant red lips. The corners of her lips slightly lifted, and she smiled and said, "Put your clothes on the side and concubine free."
Hanyue Jiao made it by her own hands, the color is very special, especially when it is applied to the lips, it will flash a little bit of light under the sun. She does not believe that Amy's dress can resist this temptation.
"Thank you, Princess Shizi." Xiuyi sat down next to her and said straight away, "Shizi, Ziyi came here today to answer the conditions proposed by Princess Shizi on behalf of my king."
Nangong Yue's jaw slightly, that calm attitude, seems to be talking about an ordinary sale.
Putting on clothes to bear the displeasure in his heart, he said: "My king agreed to donate the three cities north of the Luominjia River and the seven cities west of the Annan Mountain to Xiao Shizi." At this point, she paused and her back was firm Straightened, he said with awe, "I don't know if Princess Shizi can express your sincerity for Xiao Shizi."
Nangong Yue smiled and asked: "How to express?"
Shaoyi put forward the conditions without hesitation, "Please ask Shi Shi to send someone to Ruijiang City immediately to rescue the six princes of my Baiyue."
Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and skimmed the tea foam slowly, and said, "This is a good job. But... When will the concubine Yifu bring my family's city?"
The clothes posing slightly stiffened and said, "What does Princess Shi mean?"
"The concubine of this world just wanted to remind the princess of the dressing side a little." Nangong Yue looked awkward, and after taking a sip of tea, she put down the tea cup and said, "Now it is the Lord who asks for my southern Xinjiang. In exchange for the city, in the final analysis, these ten cities are like mirror flowers and water moons, and I have to rely on the blood of my men in southern Xinjiang to beat them down, and the Lord has paid only one sentence. I see it this way. It’s better to show your sincerity to your princess and send the city to you. Shizi will also surrender to Li and express my sincerity in southern Xinjiang."
Suddenly speaking, Yi Yi was obsessed with the purpose of restoring His Royal Highness Kui Lang. He had already gained half of Baiyue's mountains and rivers by Bai Bai. In Nangong Yue's mouth, he said as if he had been greatly wronged.
She took a deep breath and put down her posture, saying, "The Princess of the World misunderstood, hey, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is the brother of His Highness Kui Lang. Now he is under house arrest by the Pseudo-King. His Royal Highness Kui Lang just wanted to ask Xiao Shizi to do another favor .......If this is done, His Royal Highness Kui Lang is willing to send another gold mine as a thank you."
Nangong Yue sipping tea leisurely, laughing without words.
Placing her clothes biting her back molars, she continued, "One gold mine, two silver mines..." She paid attention to Nangong Yue's look and saw that Nangong Yue was still unmoved. Once she gritted her teeth, she said the bottom line , "In addition to the two cities northwest of Annan Mountain."
Nangong Yue smiled, and Ruzi said instructively: "This concubine is not for this. Since you have cooperated with your Lord, this little thing is not a problem."
Pianyi smiled reluctantly, as if the heartache was about to drip blood.
This time, she was full of confidence this time. In Luoyue City, she spent the time under the suppression of Nangong Yue. She thought that she had paid a half of Baiyue's mountains and rivers this time, and finally she could hold down Nangong Yue. Then take the opportunity to let Nangong Yue promise Xiao Yi to send troops to rescue His Highness, in order to show his ability.Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue was finally forced to the bottom line given by His Highness step by step.
Even so, she can only say: "Thank you Princess Shizi."
I hate my clothes and tell myself to be calm, as long as that thing is done, everything I pay now is nothing!Xiao Yi will be repaid ten times!
Thinking of this, he put up his clothes and took out a kit from his arms, put it in his hands, and said, "This is the letter with the private seal of my king, and I hope that the princess of the world will receive it. I urge Xiao Shizi to restore my king. Putting southern Xinjiang will always be an ally."
Nangong Yue reached over and took it, "It's easy to say."
Seeing that she finally accepted it, she sighed with relief. Finally, this trip to South Xinjiang was not in vain!
Xiongyi sat down, took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea. After setting her mind, he said tentatively: "Shizi, this time Xiongyi is here to say goodbye to Shizi.... Yi will go back to the king with Wuhe cream."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said, "The concubine of this world will be inconvenient to give away at that time.
Paying attention to her expression, even when she mentioned "Five Harmonies", she was not a little strange, and she didn't even threaten to leave her. It was actually because of his last idea that Han Huaijun wanted to find Lin Jingchen to take medicine. ?
However, at least it can be proved that the batch of Wuhe cream should not have been taken away by Nangong Yue, otherwise Han Huaijun did not need to act so recklessly...maybe it was the pseudo king Nuhar deliberately wanted to break the event of His Royal Highness Kui Lang.
Swinging for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
After she left, Nangong Yue opened the kit.
In the kit is a piece of silk paper, handwriting and silk show, obviously from the hand of a woman, followed by Kui Lang's private cover and handprint.I wanted to come to Kui Lang by giving a blank silk paper that was stamped and stamped on the dress, so that the dress could be done cheaply.
Nangong Yue stuffed the silk paper into the kit and left it with Bai Hui for safekeeping.
Nangong Yue originally suspected that in just such a short period of time, it is impossible to get a reply from Kui Lang, but now it seems to be the case. It is not Kui Lang that made this transaction, but should be the six of Baiyue. Prince.
This is very interesting!
A few days later, the last batch of Wuhe cream, which weighed fifty pounds, arrived in Luoyue City. The next morning, Han Huaijun came to resign to the King of Zhennan, and then went to the Linzhai.
Han Qixia personally set up a table for the chef and practiced with Fu Yunhe and Nangong Yue.
This time parting, I don't know when I can meet again...
On the 30th of the first month, Han Huaijun and his party left Luoyue City with Wuhe cream.
At the same time, a gray carrier pigeon flew into Bixiaotang.
Queer ran in with a pigeon smiling and said, "Concubine Shizi, is a letter from Lord Shizi."
"Ai's letter?"
Nangong Yue put down her half-embroidered belt, stood up, and rejoiced: "Give me quickly."
"Fortunately, Xiao Hui is not here today." Queer said with amusement. "Otherwise, we will have more fun in Bixiaotang."
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, Xiao Hui has been running on both sides of Luoyue City and Dengli City these days, having fun playing.No, just a few days back, I slipped out to play again. If I didn’t come back at night, I would probably fly to Dengli City again.I just hope that when Xiao Yi comes back, it will be a little bit more compliant...
Nangong Yue took out the silk paper from the bamboo tube with a smile, just looking at the first line, the smile on her face suddenly brightened a bit, and said happily, "Ayi is coming back!"
After Fu Yunhe returned to Luoyue City, Tian He went to Dengli City on the grounds that he needed to help Xiao Yi rectify the military affairs of the four cities. In fact, as soon as he arrived in Dengli City, he received Xiao Yi's secret order and led his troops Wuliang City in Nanliang.
Nan Liang's scattered soldiers have been swept away by Xiao Yi. The original Nanliang royal family did all the work, and the entire Nan Liang fell under Xiao Yi's control.
After veteran Tian He took over the rectification of Nanliang's government and military affairs, Xiao Yi could finally return to Dengli City with confidence.
In his letter, Xiao Yi told Nangong Yue that he would lead a triumphant return with the official Mandarin Bai in half a month at the latest.
This battle fought for more than half a year, and finally ended in Nanliang's death!
"It is now the 30th of the first lunar month, which means that Ayi will come back before February 15." Nangong Yue smiled with a happy smile on her face.
A few maidservants on the side were also very happy to hear the words. These days, in order to let Shiziye have no worries, they all paid attention to the hard work of the concubine.
Finally, Shiziye is coming back!
