Allure of a Country Maiden

Fengxiang's powder shop is the best powder and spice shop in the Imperial City. Many of the spices in it are purchased from Nangong Kingdom. Not only spices are sold here, but also some rouge gouache.

There is no shortage of spices and rouge gouache in Xiaoer’s space, and they are even sold in her beauty salon. But Xiaoer will still buy things produced by other shops, not for use, but just to understand where the level of productivity and technology has reached in this era.

Why did she suggest that Shangguan Xuanyi propose to the emperor to open ports and trade with overseas countries? The same reason is true. Making money is secondary. The most important thing is that you can learn about the productivity development level of overseas countries and not make your own country fall behind. Too many. You know, if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

We can no longer take the path of seclusion.

Xiaoer and the Fifth Princess had just walked into Fengxiang Spice Shop when they saw Shangguan Wanru walking out.

When Shangguan Wanru saw Xiaoer appearing in the shop, she was subconsciously startled. The panic on her face flashed across her face, and then she quickly returned to normal.

"Wanru, are you here to buy powder or spices?" the fifth princess said happily when she saw Shangguan Wanru.

Shangguan Wanru smiled slightly: "I just came in to see if there are any new goods. Are you here to buy spices too?"

"yes."

"Then you choose slowly, I'll leave first." Shangguan Wanru left in a hurry after saying this.

When the fifth princess saw Shangguan Wanru leaving in a hurry, she couldn't help but frowned: "I still want to invite her to dinner!"

"The princess may be busy with something." Xiaoer glanced at Shangguan Wanru's leaving figure, and then said: "Let's go, didn't you want to buy some mosquito repellent spices? Hurry, otherwise Mr. Jiang will be stung by mosquitoes again at night. Your face is a bag, you should be heartbroken!"

"You will make fun of me!" The fifth princess blushed after hearing this, and she quickly left Xiao'er and walked in.

She did have a lot of things to buy when she came out this time. She didn't buy them back to the palace, but bought them for the town government.

There is currently no matron in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. Jiang Yuheng has just become the Zhenguo Duke. He is already busy with the affairs of the court, so he cannot manage many things in the mansion. He was bitten by a mosquito while reading the military book at night. I burned incense to repel mosquitoes, but found that there was no spice in the entire town.

The fifth princess found out about Jiang Yuheng after asking after seeing several mosquito bites on his face.

So this time she went out to purchase things, all for the town government.

The shopkeeper saw the two people walking in and greeted them enthusiastically: "What do you, this lady and the girl, want to buy?"

"I want to buy some high-quality mosquito repellent perfume."

Xiaoer didn't speak, she just casually looked at the goods in the shop.

"Sorry, the mosquito repellent spices have been sold out. The weather has warmed recently, and mosquitoes have started to go crazy. There are too many people coming to buy mosquito repellent spices during this period. In addition, Nangong Kingdom and our country are at war. Nangong Kingdom Many suppliers no longer supply us with goods, resulting in many spices being out of stock, and mosquito repellent spices are even sold out.”

The fifth princess frowned after hearing this: "When will the goods be available?"

"I don't know. I don't know when this battle will be over. Now the vendors in Nangong Kingdom are no longer supplying goods to us. The court doesn't know when it will be willing to withdraw its troops. I guess it will have to wait until this battle is over. Then Biancai will supply us with goods! Alas, business is hard to do!"

After hearing this, Xiaoer took a look at the shopkeeper. Why did she feel that his tone was a bit complaining about his country's attack on Nangong Kingdom? But Xiaoer didn't say anything.

Xiaoer saw a box on the shelf that seemed to have been opened. She thought it was a trial package. Just as she was about to reach out and take it, the boss's face changed. He grabbed the box in front of Xiaoer and said, "This Girl, I’m sorry, this box of rouge has already been ordered.”

Has anyone ordered it? There are so many products here, do you still need to order? Xiaoer glanced at the boss and said nothing. She started to look at other goods.

The fifth princess said at this time: "Xiao'er, let's go, let's go to other shops to see if they have any goods."

Xiaoer nodded, and then the two of them left the powder shop.

The two continued to visit several shops selling spices and found that the mosquito repellent spices were out of stock. Even if they were in stock, the prices were extremely high and the quality was extremely poor.

Shopkeepers all said that the dealers in Nangong Kingdom had specially sold out the mosquito repellent spices, so every shop had sold out the spices. The spices they bought from other places were extremely expensive, and the quality was not as good. so good.

Seeing this, Xiaoer said to the fifth princess: "Don't buy it yet. There are a lot of spices prepared in the palace. I will send some to the Duke of Zhenguo's palace later."

"You sent the spices to the Duke of Zhenguo. Will the mansion not have enough?"

"No, I have many there." The war between the two countries will definitely affect the business of some merchants, and we must find ways to minimize this impact.

Both of them were tired after walking around for a long time. Xiaoer missed her children, so they went back home without eating.

Xiaoer returned to the house and found several children crying loudly.

When Yang Mei saw that Xiao'er was finally back, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, you are finally back! After the little masters woke up, they played for a while. When they saw that you were not around, they kept crying and refused to coax them! Feed them. I don’t want to drink milk either.” Before Xiaoer went out, she squeezed out some milk and kept it in the ice cellar. She was going to wait for the children to wake up and let Yangliu heat them under water and feed them. She didn’t expect them to be willing. eat.

After hearing this, Xiaoer hurriedly walked to a few children. Because she had just returned from going out and the clothes on her body were not clean, she did not hug them. She just glanced at the children and said softly: "Little buns, aren't you?" Do you miss your mother-in-law?"

The children probably heard a familiar voice and actually stopped crying.

"I didn't expect that such a young child would start to recognize people." Yang Liu sighed.

"Put them on the bed, and then you can leave. I will take care of them." During Xiao'er's confinement period, she and Shangguan Xuanyi took care of them day and night. Xiao'er also had to sleep at night. Take them with you and sleep in the space together. Probably because of this, the children know how to recognize people.

Yangliu and the nanny knew that Xiaoer wanted to breastfeed, so they both left.

There is a wet nurse in the house, but Xiaoer always breastfeeds by herself. She doesn't like to have anyone waiting on her when she breastfeeds.

After Yangliu and the others went out and closed the door, Xiaoer took the children into the space and placed them on the jade bed. The children lay on the jade bed and let them play with them for a while during the day. The children were absolutely in the space. No crying or fussing.

She quickly cleaned her body in the space, then put on clean clothes, then took the children out of the space and started breastfeeding.
