Chapter 1108

Fengxiang Fat Powder Shop is the best fat powder and spice shop in the imperial capital, and many of the spices in it are purchased from Nangong Kingdom. Not only spices are sold here, but also some rouge gouache.

Spices and rouge gouache are not lacking in Xiao'er's space, and even have them sold in her beauty salon. But Xiao'er still buys things produced in other shops, not for use, but just to understand what 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, making money is secondary, and the most important thing is to understand the level of development of the productive forces of overseas countries, but not to make their own country too backward, you know, backwardness is to be beaten.

You can't take the road of closing the country one day.

Xiao'er and the fifth princess had just walked into the Fengxiang spice shop, and they happened to see Shangguan Wanru walking out of it.

Shangguan Wanru saw Xiao'er appear in the shop, she was subconsciously startled, the panic on her face flashed, and then quickly returned to normal.

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

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

"yes. ”

"Then you pick slowly, I have to leave beforehand. After Shangguan Wanru said this, she left in a hurry.

Seeing Shangguan Wanru leaving in a hurry, the fifth princess couldn't help frowning: "I still want to ask her to have dinner together!"

"The county lord may be busy. Xiao'er glanced at Shangguan Wanru's back, and then said: "Let's go, didn't you say that you want to buy some mosquito repellent spices? Hurry up, otherwise Jiang Gongzi will be bitten by mosquitoes again at night, and your face will be full of bags, you should be heartbroken!"

"You're going to make fun of me!" the fifth princess blushed when she heard this, and she quickly left Xiao'er and walked in.

She did buy a lot of things when she came out this time, not to buy them back in the palace, but to buy them for the Zhenguo Mansion.

Zhenguo Mansion is not in charge of the house now, Jiang Yuheng has just become the Zhenguo Prince, and the affairs of the court are enough for him to be busy, so he can't manage many things in the house, reading military books at night, he was bitten by mosquitoes, and wanted to burn incense to repel mosquitoes, but found that there was no spice in the entire Zhenguo Mansion.

The fifth princess saw that Jiang Yuheng had been bitten by mosquitoes on her face, and only then did she know about it after asking.

So this time she came out to purchase things, all for the Zhenguo Mansion.

The shopkeeper saw the two of them walk in and greeted them warmly: "What do this lady and girl want to buy?"

"I want to buy the best mosquito repellent spices. ”

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

"I'm sorry, but the mosquito repellent spices have been sold out. Recently, the weather has warmed up, mosquitoes have begun to go crazy, there are too many people who have bought mosquito repellent spices during this time, plus Nangong and our country are at war, and the merchants of Nangong country no longer supply us, resulting in many spices are out of stock, and mosquito repellent spices are sold out. ”

The fifth princess frowned when she heard this: "Then when will it be available?"

"I don't know, I don't know when this battle will be over, now the merchants on the Nangong side are not supplying us, and the court doesn't know when it will be willing to collect troops, it is estimated that we will have to wait until this battle is over, and that side will supply us! Alas, business is difficult to do!"

Hearing this, Xiao'er glanced at the shopkeeper, how could she think that his tone was a little complaining about his country's attack on Nangong Kingdom! But Xiao'er didn't say anything.

Xiao'er saw a box on the shelf as if it had been opened, she thought it was a trial pack, and just wanted to reach out to get it, the boss's face changed, and he grabbed the box in front of Xiao'er and took it in his hand: "This girl, I'm sorry, this box of rouge has already been ordered." ”

Someone has ordered? So many goods are placed here, do you still need to order them? Xiao'er glanced at the boss, did not speak, and she began to look at other goods again.

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

Xiao'er nodded, and then the two of them left the fat powder shop.

The two continued to visit a few shops that sold spices, and found that the spices for mosquito repellent were out of stock, and even if they were in stock, the price was extremely high and the quality was extremely poor.

The shopkeeper of the store said that the merchants in Nangong Country specially cut off the goods of mosquito repellent spices, so the spices in every shop were sold out, and the spices they purchased from other places were extremely expensive, and the quality was not so good.

Seeing this, Xiao'er said to the fifth princess: "Don't buy it yet, there are a lot of spices in the palace, and I will ask someone to send some to the Zhenguo Mansion when I go back." ”

"You sent the spices to Zhenguo Gong, will there not be enough in the house?"

"No, I have a lot of them. "The war between the two countries will definitely affect the business of some businessmen, and we have to find ways to minimize this impact.

After shopping for a long time, both of them were tired, Xiao'er was worried about the children, and the two went home without eating.

Xiao'er returned to the house and found that the cries of several children shook the sky.

When Yang Mei saw that Xiao'er had finally returned, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Princess, you are back! After the little masters woke up, they played for a while, and when they saw that you were not there, they kept crying, and they refused to coax them! Before Xiao'er went out, she milked a little milk and put it in the ice cellar, ready to wait for the children to wake up, let the willow warm up through the water, and feed them, but I didn't expect them to be unwilling to eat.

When Xiao'er heard this, she hurriedly walked to a few children, because she had just come back from going out, and the clothes on her body were not clean, she didn't hug them, she just glanced at a few children, and said softly: "Little buns, do you miss your mother?"

The children probably heard the familiar sound, and actually stopped crying.

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

"Put them on the bed, and then you will step aside, and I will take care of them." "When Xiao'er was confined, most of them were she and Shangguan Xuanyi who took care of them day and night, and when they slept at night, Xiao'er also took them with her and slept in the space together, probably because of this, so several children knew how to recognize people.

Yang Liu and the nurse knew that Xiao'er wanted to breastfeed, so they both withdrew.

There are nurses in the house, but Xiao'er feeds her herself, and she doesn't like to be waited on when she feeds.

After Yang Liu and the others went out and closed the door, Xiao'er took the children into the space and put them on the jade bed, the children lay on the jade bed, and let them play with them for a while during the day.

She quickly cleaned her body in the space, then changed into clean clothes before taking the children out of the space and starting to feed.
