The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the capital began to snow.

In her previous life, Song Qingyue grew up in the Yangtze River Delta, and then went to work in Shenzhen. She is used to the southern climate.

I have been in Beijing for several years, but I still can't fully get used to the dry and cold weather.

I don’t need to spend any money to apply the homemade lanolin on my face and body, otherwise my skin will dry out and crack.

Recently, she urged Shopkeeper Liu of Zhenbao Pavilion to make a stick-shaped lipstick with raw materials such as almond oil and beeswax.

This time, there are still two paths of high price and low price.

The raw materials of the lipstick are basically the same, but a little sparkling mica powder and various floral and fruity essential oils are added to the expensive lipstick.

The main difference is the packaging, the rotating stick-shaped lipstick case is carved from wood.

The case of cheap lipsticks is made of cheap paulownia wood, while the case of high-priced lipsticks is made of rosewood, or painted with delicate gold patterns by a lacquer.

The high-priced ones are naturally sold in the Zhenbao Pavilion, while the cheap ones are sold in the Baoyue Pavilion.

Business is extremely hot.

But nothing to be particularly happy about.

There are almost no technical barriers to the manufacture of this thing.

First of all, there is such a thing as mouth grease, but Song Qingyue slightly changed the formula, added some peak wax, and made it into strips.

As for the rotatable shell, others can know the mystery of it after dismantling it and doing a little research, and it is extremely easy to imitate.

But without the Ministry of Internal Affairs coming to grab it, Song Qingyue could always make money for a few months.

This kind of new gadget can make money for a few months, but it cannot be expected to make a lot of money for a long time.

Song Qingyue didn't care much about this small amount of money, she even asked a few maids around her to contribute some money, and the lipstick business was given to them, seeing how happy they were making, Song Qingyue herself was also happy.

She hasn't decided whether to engage in such things as "patent rights".

It's not that she doesn't think things like patents are unimportant, but that in this era of official standards, government and business collusion, any good thing can be twisted into a bad thing.

Patent rights are likely to be used by greedy officials as a new tool to search for small people before they start to play their due role.

This is really not what Song Qingyue wants to see.

However, the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to come and snatch it, which does not mean that others will not follow.

Concubine You Xian's family was originally a maritime merchant of the Lingnan generation, and now part of the emperor's maritime trade business is managed by You's family.

Now that You Liangyuan entered the palace and became a virtuous concubine, her expenses suddenly increased.The six princes she gave birth to only had one concubine king, and the juelu was pitifully small, so she had to be a mother to subsidize her son.Although he is 14 years old now, and he is not in a hurry to build a palace, marry a princess, or accept a side concubine, but he has to start preparing.

The emperor is now focused on making the Firearms Camp bigger and stronger, but that is a bottomless pit of burning money!I heard that there is also a plan to build academies all over the country that do not require repairs, and it will cost a lot of money. I probably don't want to spend more money on my son's marriage.

Concubine Xian does not count on the emperor.

The emperor didn't even grant the royal palace, and even made such a shameless and shameless idea of ​​housing subsidies, and he didn't want any face at all!
At that time, I have to ask her, a mother, to make plans.

Concubine Xian was also troubled by the matter of money, so she turned her idea on Princess Jin.

No, a maid from Qiandi East Road soon came, she was from Concubine Xian's palace, and said that Concubine Xian wanted to invite Song Qingyue into the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The weather was so cold that Song Qingyue didn't want to take a step out of the warm Baoguang Hall.

Song Qingyue didn't show any face to the concubine Xian's palace servants, she just asked Nanny Bai to pass on the message, there is no need to look at the plum blossoms, there are also several plum blossom trees in the hidden mansion, Song Qingyue will definitely not bother herself in such a cold day into the palace.

It was snowing outside and the road was icy.

There is no palace cleaning operation these days. If she slips and falls on the road and has a miscarriage, if the contents of her stomach are not drained cleanly, she will lie on the bed and wait to die.

She will never go out on a snowy day!

The big maid next to Concubine Xian was very displeased at being so shameless in front of Concubine Bai. After returning to the palace, she angrily complained to Concubine Xian: "Madam, that Princess Jin is too arrogant! She didn't even let her see her face. I was sent away after letting that white nanny come out and say a few words!"

Concubine Xian frowned: "You weren't rude to Nanny Bai, were you?"

When the maid heard this, she pouted a little aggrievedly: "Your Majesty! Why are you being so polite to that one?"

Concubine Xian sighed: "This family will be the eldest prince in the future, and that one will be the crown princess and empress in the future. Do you think I should be more polite to her?"

"But...she's not the princess yet." The maid muttered.

The aunt in charge next to Concubine Xian also said: "Yes, ma'am, it's not easy to talk nonsense!"

Concubine Xian laughed lightly and shook her head: "The pair of father and son are fake and real, true and false, no one knows what they are planning. Not to mention the identity of the eldest son of King Jin, but only to say that our Majesty treats the original queen You can't fake your feelings, right?"

The big maid next to her was still a little unconvinced, but she only snorted softly and said nothing more.

Concubine Xian also knows that His Majesty likes beautiful young girls, so she said that Concubine Mu Shun and Concubine Xu are currently in the limelight, and the emperor now either goes to Yanqi Palace or Jingren Palace all day long.

But what's the difference between these two people and Concubine Zhuang?
That man's love is like a dream, very illusory.

If His Majesty really loved them, he would not allow them to suppress each other and check and balance each other.

The emperor is very romantic but very ruthless.His heart died with His Highness the First Prince's mother more than 20 years ago.

Concubine Xian thought for a while with her chin on her cheeks, determined to meet the emperor face to face and tell the concubine Jin only for the sake of His Majesty's face, so she ordered: "Du Ruo, dress me up for me, aunt, go and invite the emperor today." Come late."

The aunt in charge hesitated, those young girls in the palace could not be handled by the emperor, would they come from my mother?
"Go quickly! Even if he doesn't come, it doesn't matter." Concubine You Xian laughed.

Concubine You Xian is a quiet and responsible person, her father and brother are also capable, and she manages the emperor's sea trade business in an orderly and prosperous manner, and it is true that it has been a long time since she came over to invite her, and the emperor naturally agreed.

When I came to Jingyang Palace, I saw that in the courtyard, the beauty stood in the snow like a red plum in winter, which had a special artistic conception.

Immediately the emperor moved, stepped forward and hugged Concubine Xian's waist, wrapped his cloak around Concubine Xian's slender body, and blamed him: "It's so cold, so my concubine is standing in the snow and waiting for me, how can I live in my heart?" Do you want to go?"

Aifei?

Concubine Xian thought this title was quite interesting, and it was the first time she had heard the emperor call herself that. She smiled and said: "If your majesty is really sorry, you might as well come to Jingyang Palace more often in the future."

The emperor laughed, but didn't answer.

Concubine Xian didn't care, she leaned into the emperor's arms delicately and walked into the warm room together.

Although fresh and tender beauties are delicious, once in a while, there is something new about visiting the old man. After some blissful bliss, the emperor lay comfortably on the bed and didn't want to move.

Concubine Xian's legs were so weak that she had to get out of bed, take a bath by herself, and then wait for the emperor to wipe her body.

The emperor rested his arm on his pillow, watching Concubine Xian go about her business with peace of mind, and sighed in his heart, it's better to be the old man, it's comforting and relaxing.

The little one is too good at acting like a baby, and acting like a baby occasionally is just for fun, but if you play too much, it's asking for it, and it's trouble.

So he said with a smile: "My concubine came to find me today, but I want to ask for something?"

Concubine Xian gave him an angry look: "Isn't it okay for the concubine to miss you? What's the matter?"

The emperor laughed nonchalantly, and waved to Concubine Xian, motioning her to come closer.Concubine Xian walked over obediently and knelt by the bed. The emperor reached out and touched her face, which was still clean, and asked casually, "You sent someone to the Qian Mansion this morning to find Princess Jin, but was it blocked?"

Concubine Xian put her face in the emperor's palm and smiled softly: "Your Majesty cares so much about my concubine, but I know what I have done. I am so moved by this concubine!"

The emperor chuckled and squeezed her chin hard: "But I feel unhappy, do you want to complain to me?"

"How can it be! Why does Your Majesty miss me so much! Princess Jin is weak and is afraid of the cold. It's so cold, she doesn't want to come into the palace, what's there to be angry about?"

"What do you want to do with her?"

Concubine Xian smiled, stood up and took a small object from the dressing table to show the emperor.

"Look at this, Your Majesty." She opened the lid of the lipstick, and a sweet osmanthus fragrance emanated from the lipstick. Immediately, Concubine Xian turned the knob on the bottom of the lipstick stick, and the lipstick actually came out of the casing. .

The emperor laughed as soon as he saw it: "Is this another new thing made by that girl of the Song family?"

"Which lady in the capital doesn't have such a one in her hands, she will lose face!"

The emperor took the lipstick from Concubine Xian and tried it on himself. Concubine Xian saw that the emperor was about to turn all the lipstick out, and hurriedly stopped her: "Don't, Your Majesty, you won't be able to turn it back later!"

The emperor said: "If you can't turn it back, go buy a new one. How expensive is this little thing?"

"I can't say how expensive it is, but the key is that you can't buy it anywhere else! Before Liu Jin was beaten up like that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared not imitate it. Princess Jin is so meek, she doesn't earn more even if she has money, so she makes a little bit every time. As soon as new products came out in the Treasure Pavilion, they were all snatched up. The concubines and sisters-in-law’s maids ran three trips to buy them!”

The emperor laughed: "I can't help you here. If Princess Jin is not willing to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to imitate, even I can't force her."

"Your Majesty! Where are you going? I don't want to reach out to the House of Internal Affairs!"

"The concubine called me, what's the plan?"

"If we don't compete with Princess Jin for business in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can't we do sea trade? I heard that in Dongying, one piece of soap can be exchanged for three pieces of silver pancakes, but the actual cost is only more than 100 yuan. This lipstick is small It doesn't take up much space, and my concubine reckons that the shell is more valuable than the contents inside, so the noble ladies in Japan must be rushing to get it, so let's exchange one for three silver pancakes, how about it, Your Majesty?"

The emperor nodded to the concubine Xian, and then said without the concubine Xian's reminder: "Shi'er will be able to get married on the fifteenth day next year, is there any suitable candidate for my concubine?"

This is what the emperor likes the most. Concubine Xian immediately climbed onto the bed, lay down softly in the emperor's arms, and said: "The concubine is in this harem, studying rouge, gouache, hairpin jewelry every day, what knowledge can I have. It depends on your majesty." And the Empress Dowager palms the eyes for Shi'er."

The emperor immediately laughed out loud, and promised: "Don't worry, my concubine, I will definitely take care of Shi'er's marriage in person."

The next day, Eunuch Tan came to Song Qingyue with a smile on his face, holding a bank note and a draft contract.

The Baoguang Palace was as warm as spring, and Song Qingyue lazily lay on the sandalwood beauty chair covered with white tiger skin and fell asleep.

She is too lazy now, she was originally going to give lectures to Xiao Mo Zhu, but after only an hour of lectures in the morning, she was so tired that she yawned, and then went to sleep.

It seems like I don't get enough sleep.

Hearing that Eunuch Tan, the new eunuch with palm prints, was coming, Song Qingyue finally raised her Jin Gui's eyelids and asked someone to invite Eunuch Tan in.

As soon as Eunuch Tan came in, Song Qingyue lost all sleepiness.

Here comes a handsome guy!

Still a handsome mixed race guy!

That tall nose bridge, deep green eyes, looks like some kind of elf prince!
Gee!

This is the blessing God sent to me while Li Zhao's dog man was away!

"You are the inner palace supervisor who replaced Eunuch Liu?" Song Qingyue looked at Eunuch Tan curiously.

This person is a very important character in the later stage of the original novel.

The apprentice of Yang Shunen, the intelligence leader next to King Su.

When King Su was killed, Eunuch Yang died in order to protect King Su. Later, in order to avenge his master, Eunuch Tan made trouble in the palace and became the most brilliant villain in the later stage of the story.

Tsk, Song Qingyue grabbed her own conscience and reflected deeply, she really needs to correct her facial control problem.

Little Eunuch Tan was sized up and down by Song Qingyue so unabashedly, and he blushed a little embarrassedly, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, the youngest one is named Tan Hongen, and he is a slave rescued by Eunuch Yang from the Northwest. Your Majesty thinks highly of it, and has become the eunuch of the inner palace supervisor. I hope that the empress will give you more advice in the future."

Song Qingyue smiled coquettishly and prettyly: "I want to teach you more, welcome to come and sit often."

"Mo Shan, hurry up and serve the tea! Bring some sheep's milk cake and ask the father-in-law to taste it."

Concubine Jin was so enthusiastic about her, Eunuch Tan was flattered and blushed even more.

He was obviously a handsome and indifferent person on the outside, but in front of Song Qingyue, he suddenly turned into a pure and innocent boy, with his legs close together and his fingers intertwined awkwardly.

He also couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, but if he had to talk about it in detail, Eunuch Tan probably enjoyed the admiring gaze that Princess Jin put on him now.

After receiving the tea from Mo Fan, he actually said, "Thank you sister!"

The ink fan was so happy that he giggled, and teased him: "It's all the seal of a supervisor, it looks like he just entered the palace."

Eunuch Tan drank his tea, choked on Mo Fan's words, coughed for a while, and everyone in the room laughed.

After laughing, Song Qingyue suddenly put away her smile, her eyes of spring water turned cold in an instant, and asked, "Why did your father-in-law come here today?"

Song Qingyue regained the majesty and dignity that a princess should have, and told Eunuch Tan to be more comfortable. He also put away all the embarrassment, and replied respectfully: "The concubine Xian showed your majesty the lipstick made by your mother the day before yesterday. .”

"So?" Song Qingyue raised one eyebrow and asked threateningly, "Does Eunuch Tan know Eunuch Liu Jin?"

"If you go back to your mother, the little one will know."

"You know and dare to come and mention it to me?"

Song Qingyue squinted her eyes and stared at him unkindly. She was not as thick-skinned as the Ministry of Internal Affairs for grabbing business.

Eunuch Tan replied unhurriedly: "I think the empress has misunderstood. The younger one came here today. I don't want to ask the empress for the recipe or the blueprint, but His Majesty sent the younger one to ask the empress if she is interested in doing it." Haimao. Niangniang’s lipstick stick sells for two taels of silver in the capital, but if you sell it in Dongying, you may be able to exchange it for three silver pancakes, a total of 28 taels!”

"You mean, after the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here, it will not be sold domestically, but only sold outside? Then Your Majesty will share the bill with me?"

Eunuch Tan nodded with a smile: "Nowadays, Japan is in chaos. There are more and more rogues who come out to burn, kill, loot and harass our borders. They are becoming more and more rampant. If you want to go to sea, don't you want His Majesty's fleet to follow? That money is not easy to earn!"

This is true.

Song Qingyue lowered her eyes, and Lu Song's body poison, and even further away, were all messed up.

Song Qingyue heard that the pirates in the south are very rampant, much more rampant than when the emperor was in Lingnan, and now they have to risk their lives if they want to smuggle.

If you want to do business safely, you have to go with the navy fleet of the imperial court.In this way, customs duties must be paid honestly.

Song Qingyue even felt that the pirates in the south were placed there on purpose by the emperor, or how could they specialize in robbing smuggled ships?

Gee!

In terms of sea trade, the emperor really played it clearly.

After thinking briefly, Song Qingyue quickly nodded and agreed: "Sure, you guys can do it, I'll share the profits and I'll do it."

"One percent?"

Eunuch Tan was very surprised holding the draft contract in his hand. He thought that Princess Jin would ask for at least [-]% to leave.

Song Qingyue said: "It would be nice if you can give me [-]% honestly. If you still want to withhold [-]%, don't blame me for being unkind."

Eunuch Tan laughed: "Your little one won't cheat anyone if you cheat, otherwise I, Tan Hongen, will be struck by lightning every day, and I will die a terrible death."

Gee!
Swear it works?

Swear that Song Qingyue doesn't believe in the Ministry of Internal Affairs either.

Song Qingyue snorted, "It's agreed, I don't accept banknotes or treasures, I just want cash."

~

In a blink of an eye, Laba is coming soon, and she can plan the porridge giving in Beijing, Baoding, and Tianjin during the Laba Festival. In addition, she has not prepared Li Zhao's birthday gift yet.

You need to think about it carefully, if you forget this year, that guy will definitely make trouble.

But Song Qingyue is too lazy to use her brain now, she plans to draw another portrait of that person to fool him.

Anyway, as long as he gave it away, as long as he remembered it, he would be happy.

With that in mind, I happily started writing that afternoon.

Unexpectedly, before drawing a few strokes, Eunuch Wang suddenly appeared again without warning, and with a smile, he sent some nutritious ingredients, and some high-quality jade raw stones, which he said were for the little prince to use in the future, such as carving ornaments, jade locks, etc. , or jade pendant.

Hearing the words "Xiaoshizi", Song Qingyue Yubai's face sank again unconsciously.

As if he couldn't see Song Qingyue's stiff smile, Eunuch Wang persistently said, "Young son will be blessed in the future." He also said that the emperor was already reading "Zihui" and wanted to name the future eldest grandson himself.

The more you talk, the bigger Song Qingyue's head becomes.

The maids and women around can also pay homage to the ancestor of Sanqing and ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Nanny Bai even gave her a "secret formula for giving birth to a son", which made Song Qingyue dumbfounded.

Knowing the principle, she knew that it was purely a matter of luck, and she really didn't just do whatever she wanted.

How can a prescription affect whether to have a boy or a girl?

Whether it is the x chromosome or the y chromosome is obviously Li Zhao's fault, and the pressure is all on Song Qingyue's head. There is really no reason to reason.

After a long circle, Eunuch Wang finally started to talk about the business: His Majesty is going to visit her Xianyue Manor!

Song Qingyue's small brows immediately frowned, but she didn't hide her reluctance.

Eunuch Wang acted as if he hadn't seen it, and smiled flatteringly: "I don't know something about your concubine. Rumors that your Zhuangzi is a fairy Zhuangzi have already spread in the capital. Your Majesty only wanted to open it after hearing the rumors." Open your eyes."

Open your eyes?
How is the word used so modestly?
Song Qingyue blinked her eyes twice, feeling inexplicably happy, what's going on?

Open the eyes of the rich emperor?
Just because of this sentence, it is hard to disagree!
"Father, do you want your son to go with you?"

"Your body is precious, and it's cold outside. Your Majesty is afraid that you will freeze. For the sake of the little prince in your belly, Your Majesty said that you can send a capable servant girl to go with you."

After Eunuch Wang finished speaking, Nanny Bai nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right! Your Majesty is still thoughtful! This old servant also thinks it's hard for the princess to go out in such a cold day!"

Just like that, Nanny Bai and Eunuch Wang agreed to make a decision that Song Qingyue must stay at home.

Song Qingyue has nothing to object to, after all, with a baby in her belly, if she catches a cold, it might really kill her.

She is timid and cherishes her life.

Honestly stayed at home to paint a portrait of Li Zhao, and planned her cable telegraph project.

People who get along day and night can draw without a model at all.

But as she was painting, Song Qingyue could always think of the 19-year-old Li Zhao she first met in Xianyuezhuang.

It's like the little Lizi who was amazed by the time in the Titanic, that kind of man who does nothing but can make the surroundings eclipsed by just standing still, staring at himself with affectionate eyes, he Said that he wanted to treat himself well and pamper him for the rest of his life, God knows how much effort Song Qingyue spent to stay sane!
Her hand holding the charcoal pencil gradually stopped, and she lay lazily on the table, thinking about all the things between her and Li Zhao.

It has been almost five or six years since we met in Xianyuezhuang, and the days with him have been turbulent like a dream.

She always kept herself extra busy when he was away because she didn't want to miss him when he was away.

But that day, he clearly told himself that he only wanted her in his life.

Song Qingyue thought of the look in his eyes when he said that sentence, his deep voice, and the temperature in his arms, and her heart couldn't help but beat slightly.

She turned her face, looked at the portrait with only one outline, strands of longing came from the bottom of her heart, floating in the air, it seemed broken and unbroken, it couldn't be seen clearly.

But when she thought about her romantic father-in-law and the concubines in the harem who were about the same age as her, Song Qingyue immediately put away her useless love.

Just get up and do your own thing, so she doesn't want to think about him.
