Fortunate Young Gentleman

There is a beautiful garden somewhere in Lingzhou City.

Xue Yun looked at the few people around her, a hint of worry appeared in her eyebrows, and murmured: "It's already past the agreed time, why haven't they come yet?"

A woman next to her wondered: "Did I write the wrong time and place? It's just one person being late. How could there be so many people together..."

Xue Yun shook her head, "I've checked it many times, but there's nothing..."

"Sister Yun, Sister Yun..."

A rush of footsteps came from the front, and a girl ran over quickly and said, "They, they all went to Zhong's house..."

"What?" Xue Yun's expression changed and she said hurriedly: "Didn't they already agree..."

The girl breathed rapidly, patted her heaving chest and said: "They, they said, the Miss Zhong family knows how to make our women's skin white and supple, slow down aging and eliminate wrinkles, so they all went to the Zhong family... …”

After she finished speaking, her breathing calmed down. She looked at Xue Yun and said, "Sister Yun, I just came over to talk to you. I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."

After saying that, she turned around and ran out quickly.

"You..." A trace of annoyance appeared on Xue Yun's face, and she stamped her feet. Strange expressions appeared on the faces of the women behind her.

"Miss Xue, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home and I need to rush back immediately."

"Oh, I forgot too. When I came out just now, soup was still simmering in the kitchen..."

"I, I suddenly feel a little unwell, I have to go back early..."

…

Several women stepped forward one after another, and soon, she was the only one left beside Xue Yun.

Several young talents came in from outside, looked at her, and said in surprise: "Miss Xue, why are you the only one, where are the others?"

Xue Yun's face was pale, and she sat on the chair a little defeated, muttering: "Gone, everyone is gone..."

A young man seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "When I came here just now, I heard that Miss Zhong came out with a secret recipe tonight that can make people's skin whiter and more supple. I wonder if it is true or not?"

"Is this happening?" After one person was stunned, he subconsciously touched his face, looked at Xue Yun and said, "Miss Xue, I suddenly remembered that I still have some homework that I haven't reviewed today, so I'll take my leave first..."

A person beside him thought for a while and said, "Why don't we review together?"

Another person added: "You two don't mind if I join you, right?"

…

Today's Zhong family was a carnival for women, and the yin energy was too strong. Tangning didn't leave Xiaoru until their party was over.

In the morning, Tang Yaoyao had someone pick a large cart of fresh cucumbers and transport them over. When the party dispersed, not a single cucumber was left.

Tang Yaoyao has already sent people to guard the cucumber field. Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow.

Muyan is a well-known talented woman in Lingzhou. Her poems are good at expressing emotions based on scenery. Although she is not as well-known as Zhongyi, she is still a famous talented woman in Lingzhou.

Last night, she followed what she learned from Zhongfu, pounded cucumber into juice, added an appropriate amount of honey, mixed it thoroughly, and applied it on her face.

She looks good, but her skin is oily, and she has been troubled by this for a long time.

When she woke up in the morning, the first thing she did was touch her face.

The greasy feeling that she had felt for a long time was gone, replaced by dryness and tenderness that she had never felt before.

She sat up from the bed suddenly and called loudly: "Qin'er, come in quickly..."

A maid came in from outside in a panic and said hurriedly: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Muyan said hurriedly: "Go out quickly and buy some cucumbers and come back. Buy more..."

Not long after, the maid named Qin'er hurried out of the mansion and went straight to the market.

Li Pan is a petty official in Nghe An County Government. Today he got up early as usual. If there is no accident, his wife has already prepared breakfast. After he washes and eats, he will go to the county government office.

He opened his eyes drowsily and saw a "ghost face" in front of the bed.

"Ah, ghost!" When he saw that grimace, Li Pan was completely sleepless and his face was pale. He huddled at the foot of the bed and hit his head on the bed frame, causing a big bulge.

The ghost's face was densely covered with unknown objects, and only two eyes were exposed to look at him.

"Damn you, you scared me to death!" A complaining voice came from behind the grimace. The woman picked up the cucumber slices that fell on the bed and put them on her face again.

"It seems almost done..." She looked at the burning incense beside her, murmured, and then took off all the cucumber slices on her face.

Li Pan touched his chest and said angrily: "Madam, what are you doing? It's so early in the morning, you scared me to death!"

The woman seemed very happy and ran to the bronze mirror to have a look. Then she ran over to him and asked, "Mr. sir, do you see that there are fewer wrinkles on my face?"

Li Pan took a look and said with lingering fear: "No..."

"Obviously there are!" The woman glanced at him and said, "When you leave the office today, help me bring two pounds of cucumbers. Don't forget..."

Li Pan, who had not had breakfast, walked out of the house feeling depressed.

At the same time, in Lingzhou City, among the major gates, countless maids and servants hurried out and rushed to the market...

A market somewhere in the city.

At the morning market on weekdays, most people are selling vegetables.

Most of those who can set up stalls outside are not vegetable farmers, but ordinary people outside the city. They pick vegetables grown in their own gardens and sell them to make a few copper coins.

Two vendors squatted on the stone steps on the street, with a piece of rag in front of them, on which some seasonal vegetables were placed.

One sighed and said, "This year's cucumbers are really hard to sell. I wouldn't have planted them if I had known..."

"Who knew that they sold so well last year, but this year..." Another vendor shook his head and said, "Your family is okay, you only planted half, my family planted all cucumbers, and now I feel like vomiting when I see cucumbers..."

He complained like this, raised his head and shouted, "Cucumbers, cucumbers are cheap..."

Another person also shook his head and shouted, "Cucumbers, cucumbers, fresh cucumbers, pick any size and length..."

"Girl, give me two..."

...

A girl in a green shirt came over, threw down two pieces of silver, and said, "I want all your cucumbers."

"Ah?" The two were stunned at the same time.

The girl said impatiently: "What? Are you going to sell them or not?"

The two turned around and nodded immediately: "Sell, sell, I'll pack them up for you..."

A few steps away from the two, there was another stall.

A servant in green urged the vendor: "Pack up all the cucumbers here."

Another man in gray looked at him and said angrily: "I came here first!"

"I came first!"

"I came first!"

"I came first!"

...

When the two were fighting over who came first, the girl threw down a piece of silver, waved to the servants following her, and said: "Take these too..."

Overnight, the unsold cucumbers in Lingzhou suddenly became a hot commodity.

It is said that eating cucumbers can help lose weight and putting them on the face can beautify. Cucumbers, which have always been ignored, became a hot commodity in the eyes of Lingzhou women in a very short time.

In half a morning, all the cucumbers in the markets of Lingzhou were bought out.

The maids and servants who followed the orders of their mistress and mistress were anxious because they were late and did not buy cucumbers.

At this moment, someone patted his head and said, "If we can't buy it here, why don't we go directly to the vegetable farmers outside the city!"

"Yes, there must be some there..."

After the crowd reacted, they went out of the city in a mighty manner.

Countless restaurants and vegetable vendors also realized the business opportunities and began to take action...

Zhong Mansion.

Tang Ning took a bite of the cucumber and saw Fang Xinyue walking in from outside, staring at him------the cucumber in his hand.

Tang Ning thought about it and simply broke the cucumber in his hand into two halves and handed her the half that he had not bitten.
