Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 22
Su wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "The fourth prince and your third younger sister have come here, and your third younger sister said that she and the fourth prince proposed to give you the position of concubine, but the fourth prince disagreed, and she begged for a long time , the Fourth Prince agreed to marry you as his side concubine..."

With such reluctance, what is Mother trying to push her between the two of them, Ming concubine said, "Mother, the third sister treats me well, I know, but she and the fourth prince are deeply in love, and my daughter would rather kill her head-on than Get mixed up between her and the Fourth Prince."

Su Shi hugged Ming Concubine, sobbing, "Then what should you do?"

What can she do, three-legged toads are hard to find in the world, and there are plenty of two-legged men.

Mingyu's attitude was very firm, "My daughter would rather die than marry."

Su patted Ming Concubine on the back and said, "Don't marry, we won't marry..."

Ming concubine was very frustrated with that coaxing tone of the child, she should have promised not to let her get married anyway.

Ming concubine backed away, looked at Su Shi, Su Shi wiped away her tears, and asked, "Go to Dongning Hou's Mansion today, and see Miss Shen San, has the wound on her face healed?"

Ming concubine was talking nonchalantly, while Xi'er spoke quickly, gesticulating while talking, "Miss Shen San has such a big scar on her forehead, it's ugly, and she jumped into the lake today, if it wasn't for..."

She blah blah blah blah pouring beans, Ming concubine squinted over, Xi'er stopped talking abruptly.

Su's face froze, not daring to say anything, "How could you be injured so badly?"

She looked at Ms. Zhao. On that day, Ming concubine disappeared, and Su was not in the mood to go to Dongning Hou Mansion to apologize, so she prepared a generous gift for Ms. Zhao to go. Ms. Zhao said, "Impossible, when I went that day, the maid was Applying medicine to her may leave a faint scar, but after a year or so of care, it will disappear after applying some powder, how could it be so serious?"

Afraid of Su's guessing, Ming concubine could only say, "Miss Shen used the wrong medicine to leave her scars. I still remember a prescription for removing scars. I just went to the street to buy some medicinal materials and tried to make it for her. , although the scars were not caused by me, but her disfigurement will make her jump into the lake, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, I can only try my best."

This courtyard is too small, and it's impossible to pound medicine with stones at that time without alarming Su Shi, so I simply say hello first, so that when Su Shi asks, she will explain.

Ming concubine has the heart to save people, Su is full of comfort, but the medicine is not just something, it can be rubbed on the face, the third girl Shen has been disfigured, it is good that the ointment is useless, if it makes things worse, it will just make Shen Shen The third girl was killed.

Ming concubine nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, Third Miss Shen used the wrong medicine first, how can she not learn her lesson, before applying the ointment on her face, she will definitely have the doctor check it, it is impossible to make things worse Case."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Su decided to let her concubine know, and asked instead, "Your cousin Su Li is engaged, have you visited her?"

"I saw it, she cried very sadly."

Su Shi sighed, Ming concubine's mood became more and more heavy.

A marriage came flying in the sky, and the mood of the Su family was a little gloomy. The masters of the Su family were afraid that the old man would get bored, so they all guarded outside the study, and Su Yang walked over.

The second master looked at him and asked, "Is the matter of Qing Yaxuan settled?"

Su Yang shook his head, "It's even worse."

The second master sighed and said nothing.

Su Yang stayed for a while, thinking of Concubine Ming, he came to Kuayuan to look for her.

Inside the house, Xi'er took the medicine bag out of the box and put it on the table, Ming concubine grabbed the medicine and sniffed it, the maid told the third young master Su to come, she smiled, "Let him in."

The corner of Xi'er's mouth twitched slightly, and Su Yang was embarrassed outside.

Although this is the Su family, the place where the cousin lives is her boudoir, how could he just go in casually, Ming concubine didn't know, seeing him not moving, she asked in puzzlement, "Why are you standing there so stupidly?"

Su Yang's ears were a little red, and he really stepped in. He knew that Ming concubine was preparing an ointment for the third girl of Dongning Houfu, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I thought my cousin was really copying books. .”

Ming concubine covered her mouth and smiled, "I was joking with my cousin, do you take it seriously, my wrist was injured, how did I manage to copy the book?"

Xi'er is drunk, girl, you have to be tactful when joking, it doesn't matter if you can't copy it, but you can't spoil Qing Yaxuan's affairs.

Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he knew that his cousin was joking with him, and he actually took it seriously.

Su Yang shook his head, turned around to leave, Ming concubine called to stop him, and asked, "Does my cousin have a seal?"

Su Yang looked at Concubine Ming suspiciously, not knowing what she wanted his seal for, but he took one with him, took it and handed it to Concubine Ming.

Ming concubine took the seal, took a white paper, pressed it lightly, and printed three characters.

Learn from the ancients.

Ming concubine smiled when she saw it, "My cousin is not in a high level."

Su Yang looked at her, "Why did my cousin say that?"

Holding up the seal, Mingyu said with a smile, "Learning from the ancients is not as good as learning from nature, and learning from nature is not as good as learning from my heart."

Qingqing Lingling's voice was like a boulder being thrown into the lake of Su Yang's heart, causing turbulent waves. Neither father nor grandfather knew the deep meaning behind his seal, but my cousin was able to explain it clearly. Cousin, she...

Su Yang looked at Ming Concubine with complicated eyes, but Ming Concubine stamped one stamp after another on the white paper, until she couldn't see clearly, she smiled and said, "Okay."

Xi'er tilted her head, looked at her and said, "What's the matter?"

Ming concubine put down the seal, knocked on the paper and said with a smile, "Cousin is a smart person, he should be able to understand my purpose of doing this, right?"

Su Yang nodded lightly, "My cousin's idea, I know that Zhuangyuanfang can surpass Qingyaxuan so quickly, that's the way. In the past six months, Zhuangyuanfang has engraved the seals of more than [-] books, which were rubbed a month ago. Books are suddenly on sale, and because of the cheap price, Qing Yaxuan is overwhelmed."

Ming concubine had black lines on her forehead, and she was afraid that the printing technique would be difficult to understand, so she specially asked for a seal, but they had already thought of it, and it was because of the printing technique that Qingyaxuan's business plummeted, could there be anything more embarrassing than this?

Su Yang continued, "This method was also used in the Uncle's House a few years ago, but the cost of carving is very high. Not to mention that it is easy to carve with a whole piece of wood. After soaking in ink, it will swell, and then it will die. It's over."

This is also the reason why Qingyaxuan disagreed with the price increase.

The books that are often sold in Zhuangyuanfang do not need those scholars to copy them. Their purpose is to force Qing Yaxuan to raise the price. Without profit, Qing Yaxuan will naturally not be able to maintain it.

Ming concubine said, "Why do you have to use wood to carve?"

"It costs more to use other methods," Su Yang said.

It's not that the cost is higher, it's because you didn't think of a cheaper one, "What about ceramics?"

Su Yang was stunned.

Obviously, she never thought that ceramics could replace wood. Mingyu shook her head when she saw it. In ancient times, it was too difficult to count on a group of scholars who were accustomed to reading Zhiye to do business. Tear it apart, and assemble in front of Su Yang to form the ancient teacher and the human teacher Gu.

Su Yang opened his mouth in shock, "This..."

"understood?"

Su Yang felt ashamed and nodded slightly.

Outside, a maid came in and said, "Third Young Master, Master Yan Biao is here."
