Chapter 79 Jade face rejuvenates, Zhu Que polishes

The snow fell so heavily that Cheng Cang was almost blinded by pushing open the corner door.

He looked up and saw the little lady sitting on the donkey cart, with one foot on the shaft and the other foot hanging down, shaking slowly, stroking the back of the donkey, opening and closing her mouth, as if she was talking to the donkey. talking about something.

She was already thin, and after being imprisoned for several days, her small face became paler and sharper under the wind and snow, but her big eyes were extraordinarily bright, and she couldn't see the slightest worry.

"Cheng Weiwei, you are finally here."

Seeing Cheng Cang, Xin Yi jumped off the donkey cart and reached out to hold her donkey.

"Let's go, it's snowing heavily, and I haven't had a bite of warm rice yet."

During the waiting time just now, Xin Yi thought that Zhou Yiliu would deliberately neglect her, and even refused to pass on the pass, but she never thought that she would be rejected, so of course she couldn't let her donkey be exposed to the wind and cold outside, and wanted to take it in. Rub a meal of fodder from the princess's mansion.

Cheng Cang didn't move.

Xin Yi immediately realized something was wrong, stopped and raised his head, met Cheng Cang's calm and gloomy eyes, and suddenly understood.

"The county king won't see me?"

Cheng Cang and Duan Sui have completely opposite temperaments, he doesn't like to talk too much, let alone gossip about his master's affairs, and usually refuses to confide a word.

But looking at the little lady under the wind and snow today, he suddenly couldn't bear it... In fact, she didn't do anything wrong, she just pleased the county king.

It is not easy for a woman to find someone to rely on after her husband dies.

Cheng Cang sighed: "It's not that the king of the county refuses to see you, it's just..."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, and smiled crisply, "What is Guard Cheng hesitating about? I'm begging to see him as a courtesy, but I'm not here to beg him. It's his wish to see the king of the county, so you don't have to make trouble."

Cheng Cang lowered his eyes, "The king of the county has been tortured with a stick, and his body is very inconvenient. Not only the lady, but none of the medicine delivery people who came to greet the mansion today, even the eldest princess came, and said a few words through the curtain. In a word, I hurriedly dismissed..."

Xin Yi understood a little bit, "You mean the county king is embarrassed and ashamed to see others?"

"..."

If in front of Fu Jiuqu, Cheng Cang would not dare to say this sentence, but facing Xin Yi who was waiting in the snow, he acquiesced.

Think about it, and tell me the truth.

"Except for the imperial gift from the official family, the county king only accepted the ointment from the lady."

Xin Yi smiled slightly, as if he had won the bidding, and was very happy to be affirmed for his craftsmanship: "Xin Yi is very honored, so I won't bother you, let the king of the county rest well."

For a villain like Fu Jiuqu, who is so arrogant and refined, he has only been spanked like this once in his entire 20 years of life. Not to mention the feeling of his butt blooming, he will definitely not be able to bear that face.

And with such an injury, it must be difficult to wear clothes.

How could Fu Jiuqu let people see his distress?

Thinking about it, Xin Yi laughed unkindly again.

"Serving in front of the county king for the past two days, Cheng Shiwei must be uncomfortable. I sympathize with you."

Seeing her smiling happily, Cheng Cang was a little puzzled.

Shouldn't it be sad to be rejected by the county king?
Xin Yi made a bow with both hands: "It's snowing heavily, Cheng Chengwei, hurry up and go in. Please give me a word for the county king, just talk about the usage of dressings and ointments, I have written them all on paper. After the buttock stick Some precautions are also written, you can take a look."

Cheng Cang nodded, with a low hum.

"My lady."

Xin Yi led the donkey and turned around, waving at Cheng Cang.

"Then I'll take my leave and come to him another day."

Cheng Cang clasped his fists together, "Young lady, let's go."

From Xin Yi's point of view, she and Fu Jiuqu are still in a cooperative relationship. After all, Fu Jiuqu's life is still in her hands. They are in a relatively equal relationship. Cheng Cang's head felt a little swollen after hearing this. .

Miss Zhang is really an outlier.

Are you so sure that the county king will meet her?
It's like walking around the street, and I'll come back another day.

"Alas!" Cheng Cang sighed, and when he saw a man and a donkey walking away, he turned around silently.

~

Cheng Cang returned to the warm room of Linqu Pavilion.

Fu Jiuqu was still lying on the imperial concubine's couch, with a small table in front of him. The package Xin Yi sent had already been opened, and there were several bottles and cans. Fu Jiuqu frowned slightly, watching "Jade Face Rejuvenation" and "Zhu Que Runse" did not move at all.

Cheng Cang glanced at Sun Huai and Duan Sui.

Sun Huai smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, while Duan Sui spread his hands and pretended to be stupid.

Cheng Cang didn't know what happened, so he stood aside.

"Jun Wang, Miss Zhang has already left."

Fu Jiuqu didn't raise her head, and hummed, "How did you get there?"

"Take a donkey cart."

Fu Jiuqu turned his head to one side, looking cool, as if looking at a fool.

Sun Huai coughed lightly, and Cheng Cang immediately understood the meaning of his master's words.

"Going back to the king, Mrs. Zhang left crying. It's snowing outside, and she looks a bit embarrassed."

Fu Jiuqu's face brightened a bit: "Why are you crying?"

Cheng Cang bowed his head, speaking nonsense against his conscience.

"Ms. Zhang waited outside the mansion gate for a long time. She was so cold-eyed that she just wanted to see the county king. When her subordinates said that the county king refused to see her and threw away the ointment she brought, she must be a little sad..."

"En." Fu Jiuqu responded lightly, then suddenly hooked his lips, picked up the box of ointment and looked at it, and asked lazily:
"Tell me, why do the ointments use names like Yumianhuichun and Zhu Querunse?"

Sun Huai smiled, "Little ladies like to use elegant names."

Duan Sui scratched his head, "Master Jiu, why does this subordinate think she is scolding you?"

Fu Jiuqu stared at him coldly: "Oh?"

Duan Sui pointed at the ointment and smiled awkwardly, "I haven't read many books... But Master Jiu, you read a lot, you must understand that these two names look like my little girl's rouge powder, and this jade face is not Pointing at the face? But Master Jiu was injured on his buttocks... Isn't she just scolding Master Jiu for his face growing on his butt?"

Snapped!A porcelain pillow flew over and hit Duan Sui heavily on the face.

"Ouch!" Duan Sui ran away with his head in his arms, seeing the porcelain pillow falling to the ground and being torn apart, he secretly rejoiced that Master Jiu couldn't leave now, so he couldn't come and beat him.

"Dog, I'll punish you for washing the January Gong bucket."

what!Duan Sui screamed.

Cheng Cang said at this time: "Your Majesty, the subordinates just saw that the wind and snow were heavy, and they were afraid that Mrs. Zhang might make a mistake, so they specially asked the two chasing sons to follow."

These words successfully quelled Fu Jiuqu's anger.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Although Chen Chusheng is dead, the black hands behind the several times of mischief against Miss Zhang have not been clarified.If Chen Chusheng really didn't do it, then we really need to be on guard.

"Well done." Fu Jiuqu casually took the book next to the pillow, "Tell them to be careful and not disturb her, so as not to cause trouble."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

……

……

Xin Yi was a little hungry, so he came out along the street, and unknowingly detoured to Ma Xing Street.

There are many medical shops in the north of this street, and there are many fragrant medicine shops. To the north, there are many official residences near the Wuzhang River, and there are a few tiles in the south of the street. It can be said to be extremely prosperous. The night market is even more lively than State Bridge even worse.

At this hour, there are countless vehicles, horses and pedestrians, and there is always a traffic jam...

"Sell dried fruit preserves! Dried fruit preserves! No money if they don't taste good."

"Walking by, I must have eaten..."

"Honey fried fruit, delicious and sweet honey fried fruit!"

"Crispy honey food, candied dates, fragrant candied seeds, sugar dumplings, fried carved flowers with honey..."

"Officer, let's have a piece of hu..."

The night market was busy, and the city of Bianjing, where there was no curfew, was brightly lit like daytime. Xin Yi led the donkey cart and squeezed in. He wanted to buy some snacks and roasted seeds and nuts for the family and children, but he walked to the Sun's pharmacy. In front of the hall, I can't move my feet.

The door of the store was half closed, and Sun Yuzhi, who looked like a scholar, was sitting in the pharmacy with the lights on. Instead of seeing a doctor, he was reading a book, and beside him was a girl with red sleeves to add fragrance.

Xin Yi stared at it dazedly, and he had already pictured in his mind a bright prospect of running a pharmacy here, taking care of the business, consulting doctors and prescribing prescriptions, and opening a vegetable garden in the backyard near the river in his free time to grow flowers and vegetables.

Everything is ready, only three thousand is owed.

"You said you, can you go or not? If you don't go, don't block the way."

A man carrying a burden yelled dissatisfiedly, which brought Xin Yi back to his senses.

"Sorry, sorry, please." Xin Yi hurriedly led the donkey to one side.

The porter was not tall, and the load seemed a little heavy, the straw ropes creaked, and a rough breath came out of his nostrils.

"I don't even look in the mirror. That young master is so handsome, how can he look up to a little girl like you... Every day, the little girls are coming here to look, and the road is blocked."

The first half of the sentence is about Xin Yi, and the second half is about reality.

Sun Yuzhi went to the Sun's pharmacy to sit there, but he caused lovesickness among many young ladies in Ma Xing Street...

Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing that the porter was covered with sweat on his forehead and dressed in half-worn clothes, she swallowed back the words she said.

It's her fault for blocking the road, that's all, isn't it just that people say she is ugly, and the toad wants to eat swan meat?From the king of the county to the young owner of the medicine hall, everyone saw that she was thinking of a man.

snort!
Waiting for her to slowly show them the beauty——

The shopkeeper walked by.

A burst of fragrance wafted out.

Xin Yi sniffed, his eyes moved with his burden.

Agarwood, borneol...

A load is full of spices, how much money is it worth?
Can you buy all ten Sun family pharmacies?

Xin Yi almost drooled...

After the establishment of the Shipbuilding Department, tribute envoys from various countries came to Bianjing, bringing trade exchanges, and the maritime trade also reached a very prosperous situation.Spices are the most popular among Fanbang's products.The people of the Song Dynasty had a culture of burning incense, and the government set up a special workshop for making incense. The high-ranking officials and nobles would also set up an incense and medicine bureau at home to manage spices and use incense.

Therefore, imported goods from Fanbang are worth thousands of gold.

But it is so precious, why would it be carried by an inconspicuous porter?

 In Song Ci, there are many verses about incense, and Lu You's sentence sums it up well, "The car is passing by, and the cigarette smoke is like a cloud, which lasts for miles, and the dust is fragrant."

  Up to the royal aristocrats, dignitaries, scholar-bureaucrats, and down to the common people all use incense, but the incense used is different.The difference between luxury goods and cheap goods.

  If you are interested in the incense culture of the Song Dynasty, you can Baidu it...
