Almighty Blessing Pack: Traveling through troubled times with a microscope

Chapter 19

lose weight?slim?
These two words are seen in the suspicious eyes of passers-by. In the late Jin Dynasty, plumpness was a symbol of good fortune. In the widely circulated stories among the people, a white, tender and naive daughter-in-law is indispensable.

Quite a number of girls who have not left the pavilion came up to have a look at it curiously. When they saw the delicious food that looked full of appetite, and it was free to try, they all wanted to try it.But when they saw the name of the dish like "Shoushou Cai", they all dodged aside with consideration.

After yelling for the whole morning, only people came forward to see what was new, and no one actually tried it.There were fine beads of sweat on Brother Jin's forehead, and he repeatedly stirred up the two pieces of sweat-soaked clothes drooping in front of his strong chest muscles.

"When will this emperor's ancestor arrive? If I wait any longer, I will be burned to death!"

Yin Bao raised his tender white hand, put it in front of his eyebrows, and looked over from the south of the alley for a long time, with a twinkle in his beautiful eyes, he could see the excitement several kilometers away.In the bustling street, the crowd seemed to be cheering, and a dozen people who looked like guards were particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

Yin Bao stood up abruptly, walked a few steps forward, stood on tiptoe for a closer look, and saw an eight-person chariot decorated with red embroidered curtains and gold threads walking unhurriedly from behind, carrying a sedan chair The tired people were sweating profusely, and the vendors on both sides were yelling like chicken blood.

"Big brother and second brother! People are coming!"

As soon as Yin Bao screamed, a few officials and guards came down from the bridge dozens of steps away, followed by a few elders in official uniforms, hurriedly pulling a familiar person.

Yin Bao took a closer look, and found that this man had shrewd features and a round face. He turned out to be the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who bought their wild ginseng when he first came to Mizhuang.

He was holding a big stone in his hand, which shone brightly in the sun, and when the light refracted, Yinbao recognized at a glance that it was the jade that he had won in the bet, a second-class hibiscus jadeite.Nowadays, the war is raging, but the life of rich businessmen and wealthy households is still unabated. This piece of emerald has risen, and now I am afraid that some of them are worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Pity!If Yinbao had 300 taels at that time, their family would have made a lot of money directly!
"Master Guan! Please spare me! I really don't know how to look at jade, I'm just guessing!"

"Don't talk nonsense! If you dare to embarrass your ancestors in front of foreign envoys, you will be beheaded!"

Before Yinbao could realize what had happened, the walking chariot from a distance came up to him, and only after listening to the gossip of the people around him did he know that the eight princes were all calling the kings and building their capitals in their fiefs. At that time, the southeast vassal state sent envoys to come. After the meeting, they not only mocked the emperor's ancestors for being so rich in foreign languages ​​with his apprentices in private, but also laughed at Da Jin for his lack of talents.

In a fit of anger, I wanted to kill to vent my anger, but there is an old saying: When two countries are at war, do not behead them.What's more, when King Langya wanted to stabilize the political situation, he couldn't do that.So he took the initiative to ask for a competition with foreign envoys. The items of the competition were set by the envoys, which was "stone gambling".

"I heard that the foreign envoy brought an apprentice with him. This person's eyes are green and can shine! He can see through this stone with a single glance! You can know whether there is jade in it!"

The people around were all chewing their tongues, and passed on the miraculousness of the opponent who was facing the battle, but now the army is in chaos, and gambling on jade is not a serious business in the eyes of most people. Get a suitable person.

But the shopkeeper of this pharmacy was very frightened. When he sold the package of wild ginseng to the imperial hospital in the palace, he showed off his good luck of "one-shot jade". The palace was worrying about this matter. , deliberately tricked him, and in the end he actually took people to see the jade that had been cut off in half, and was arrested as a "genius" and wanted to enter the palace to compete.

The chariot stopped not far away, and a graceful and luxurious old lady wearing a pure gold armor alighted from the sedan chair. The phoenix was embroidered on the splendid silk and satin dress. She had slender eyebrows, sharp eyes, and dark red lips that showed Royal power.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was pushed past the stall of the three brothers and sisters of Yinbao, and one of them accidentally fell down. When he got up, he caught a glimpse of Yinbao. Great joy burst out of his originally dull eyes, and he was about to point at When Yin Bao said something, he was pushed and shoved by the guards behind him, and then he lay down in front of the emperor's ancestor.

The maid next to him took the big jadeite held by the official guard. The ancestor raised his hand and gently stroked the clear and pure texture. The places where the fingertips passed were pure in color, mixed and natural, and looked like a landscape. .

After a long time, the old ancestor smiled with great satisfaction, his thin eyebrows eased slightly, and he nodded in approval and said——

"Sure enough, it's a good piece of jade."

"What does your family do?"

A lot of onlookers gathered around him, and the nanny brought up a chair for the old ancestor, and the maidservants on both sides held up big plantain fans. Scraping.

"Back to our ancestors, the youngest one is Zhang Lisan, the shopkeeper of Xuande Pharmacy at No. 88, Jingcheng Lane. He has been in business for 24 years!"

Hearing that it was a drug seller, the ancestor became interested, and gently touched the cup in his hand, thinking about it inch by inch.

"Then you can be regarded as a half-doctor. Look up and see if there is any medicine that can make Aijia's body thinner?"

The old shopkeeper was startled, and remembered the notice pasted on the city gate a few days ago, and then realized that the strange disease of the old ancestor was because he wanted to lose weight.

"Small incompetence, what can be thought of in a small mind, I guess the doctors in this hospital have already done it to the ancestors."

"Hmph! Useless stuff!"

The three brothers and sisters of Yinbao knelt on the side of the road and carefully looked at the figure of their ancestors. It was indeed a little swollen. If other diseases were ruled out, Shoushoucai is a good medicine. Just follow the combination of breakfast + Chinese food + Shoushoucai , Within ten days, you will definitely lose weight.

Just as he was about to go forward and take the opportunity to recommend it, the old ancestor asked about the origin of the jade again. The old shopkeeper pointed to Yinbao who was kneeling beside him without blinking his eyes, "It's her, it's her who bet with me that she will definitely recognize it." from!"

Yinbao: "."

The elder brother and the second elder brother nervously looked at Yin Bao who was guarded behind them, and were about to ask in a low voice what to do when the old ancestor waved towards him, and a man with the appearance of a eunuch came forward with a fly whisk, slightly hunched over , Whispered softly, "Girl, the ancestors are calling you! And talk to my slave over there."

After drinking tea, the ancestor tasted a few red bayberries, and looked up at the "woman with divine eyes" that the old shopkeeper said.With a childish face, at most fourteen or fifteen years old, with a long bun, a light pink headband, and two pink pendants around the ears, this small face is even more delicate and lovely.

The old ancestor immediately raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "This child is born to be well-behaved, clever, and cute."

What is more attractive is her pair of bright eyes. The ancestor has stayed in the palace for some years, and knows people by face. It is not uncommon to see the bottom of the eyes. Most of them are stupid women who can't survive three episodes. They are cunning and insidious. Eyes are not uncommon, and they often end up with a bad ending.

And this pair of eyes, elegant and beautiful, clear in the pupils, quick-witted and agile, make people unforgettable.It's just good-looking, good-looking, said that such a young woman has "divine eyes", the ancestors would not believe it.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy knew that it was not a good job to go to the competition. If he made a mistake, he would be ashamed and thrown abroad, and the palace would not spare him.So he insisted on beating him to death, that's what Yinbao saw.

Yinbao was the same, the matter has come to this point, he can only admit, and by the way, "It is indeed a guess."

No one can let her be captured as a strange creature that can pass through.

"Okay! The Ai family admires your courage! Tomorrow, at this time, at this place, the competition is gambling jade. You will represent the entire Langya royal family, and you will never return!"

The old ancestor pressed the teacup firmly on the table beside him, and the maidservants around him bent down slightly in fright.Yinbao calmed down and tightly clutched her flowered jacket. She was neither a relative of the emperor nor a relative of the state. She was fighting for the face of their royal family, so she couldn't work in vain!
"Wait a minute, little girl has a question!"
