21. Pearl Clever Eye Distinguishing Spices (I)
"Don't be afraid, you say it, the eldest sister will help you."
With such a down-to-earth and generous tone, Mo woke up and suddenly realized that this sister seemed to have changed! In the past, Mo Mingzhu rarely helped him out, it should be said that it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, but he knew that this eldest sister was kind, because every month he would secretly ask people to send money to the school to her, and the eldest sister didn't have much money for a month, so she had to give it to him.
"Eldest sister, you ...... Don't worry. β
Mo Xingchu kept silent about being thrown into the water, for fear that it would affect Mo Mingzhu if he said it.
At first glance, these two brothers look young and innocent, and look closely...... There's also a little bit of stability. Mo Mingzhu stroked a strand of hair on his chest and said secretly.
Gao's awesomeness is not a joke. Moreover, now that Mo Dingyuan is not in the mansion, it is all the world of the Gao family. Although Mo Xingchu is an adopted son, he is extremely smart and very loved by Mo Dingyuan, and has always been a thorn in Gao's side. With such a smart adopted son here, can the Gao family be happy!
Since Mo Xingchu didn't say it, Mo Mingzhu could only ask some other things, talked about his affairs in the academy, and asked the students, isn't it all that routine? "How are you studying?", "How many exams are there?", "What do you want to do in the future?......
Mo Xingchu never cared about anyone, and he listened to this routine very warmly, so he talked about many things about the school and the academy with great interest.
When Mo Mingzhu heard this, he also aroused some interest.
The "preparatory school" that Mo Xingchu went to is not a formal academy, but a school that must be studied before entering Long'e Academy. Only those who have been polished and selected by the TongguΓ² Preparatory School are eligible to enter the Long'e Academy. Mo Mingzhu also attended the preparatory school, but was persuaded to quit by the teacher last year because "stupid and rotten wood cannot be carved". It was also this incident that made Mo Mingzhu's stupid ugly reputation spread all over Chang'an City.
Long'e Academy has a history of more than 200 years, and was founded by Han Li, the Marquis of Long'e, when the Great Qi was first founded. Nowadays, many princes and princes are also studying in academies. The men who can enter must be the pillars of the country, and the women are mostly the wives and concubines of the pillars......
The children of the dignitaries in Chang'an City will try their best to go to the preparatory school first, and then drill into the Long'e Academy with their heads sharpened! Men are officials, make friends, and learn talents, while women are mostly to climb to high-ranking officials and royal nobles, and fly on the branches.
Now, in addition to Mo Xingchu, Mo Xiaoman is also studying in the pre-school hall, but he has learned to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. At the same time that Mo Mingzhu was kicked back by the teacher of the preparatory school, Mo Xuelan graduated with excellent grades and waited for the entrance examination of Long'e Academy in October......
Needless to say, that time, the former Mo Mingzhu was defeated by Mo Xuelan again. But...... Mo Mingzhu thought about it carefully, there are so many poems in his memory, Mo Mingzhu should not be "stupid" in the past, he should be inferior, so he is often not confident, and his expression is not good......
"Eldest sister, don't be sad, it's okay if a woman is talented, she will retire if she retreats." Mo Xingchu comforted.
"Eldest sister is fine, don't worry about me, take care of yourself."
Mo Mingzhu was about to send Mo Xingchu out, when he suddenly found that he had a whiplash wound on the back of his neck! She flicked her collar, revealing more hideous scars!
"Who bullied you? Pumped so hard! β
Mo Xingchu hurriedly covered it up, saying that it was okay, and he was injured when he practiced martial arts in the pre-school hall.
Needless to say, this veiled reaction may be inseparable from the surname Gao. Mo Mingzhu vaguely remembered that there were two children in the preparatory school, as if there were distant relatives of the Gao family, I am afraid that it was those two children, could it be that those two children bullied him?
Mo Xingchu's sensibility and patience made Mo Mingzhu feel distressed. What a young child, he has to be persecuted so much, and there are really not many people in the deep mansion compound. Now that she has met her, she must not let this child be bullied again!
Mo Mingzhu was just about to close the door, but Mo Xingchu went and returned.
"Thank you Sister Mingzhu for your ...... today 'Saving Grace'. In the future, I will work hard to get admitted as soon as possible, if I ...... If my sister is worried about getting married at that time, she can wake up at the beginning of her awakening...... Can ......"
The last few words are really weak mosquitoes and flies, Mo Mingzhu can't hear them, but he can guess them. This little guy is planning to be "responsible" for her.
In order not to hurt the little boy's self-esteem, Mo Mingzhu wasted a lot of effort to make himself serious.
"There is no need to thank each other! You work hard to rehabilitate yourself as soon as possible and get out of the hands of the bad guys. If you have something to look for, my sister will help you. β
Mo Xingchu looked at Mo Mingzhu, his heart was warm, and there was water in his eyes. Since he was a child, he has almost been in a state of fatherlessness and motherlessness, Mo Dingyuan has been away all the year round, and he can't be whipped, this is the first time that a relative cares about him so much......
Mo Xingchu left, and secretly vowed that he must work hard, and he must be good to Mo Mingzhu.
The night is as deep as ink.
Mo Mingzhu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and kept thinking about what Mo Xingchu said, about the magic pharmacy of Long'e Academy.
Long'e Academy has both civil and military affairs, and pharmacology is a must, among which there are various medicine halls, and the drugs treated are all extremely sought-after high-grade drugs, and the price is expensive, for example, Mo Xuelan uses all the medicines of Long'e Academy, which are bought at a high price.
Just now, Mo Xingchu mentioned that there is an incense room in Long'e Academy, which is very magical, there are thousands of spices in it, and those incense have different functions, which is very mysterious!
Some can detoxify all kinds of poisons, some can kill people in an instant, and some can attract bees and butterflies, confuse birds and beasts, and let them be used for their own use. Mo Xingchu said that there is a mysterious and powerful incense master in the medicine hall, who can use incense to lure birds and beasts to pick fruits and give gifts.
If so, it's amazing!
Mo Mingzhu was a little excited when he thought about it.
When she got the chance, she was going to see what happened.
**
After applying the medicine last night, he made a cucumber patch "mask", and his skin was moisturized a lot overnight. In fact, the cucumber compress effect is good, although it is not as immediate as the chemical mask, but it is pure natural and has no side effects, the most important thing is to combine early getting up and going to bed early, internal and external conditioning, so as to effectively whiten.
Otherwise, the water replenished by the cucumber pasted will all be lost by staying up late, how can it still be effective. In fact, the root whitening and body shaping is still in the most basic human body care, and other chemical skin care products are palliative but not curative, and they also damage the skin's own circulation. And natural skin care products, such as cucumber and seaweed, are much gentler.
Beauty is raised!
The root lies in how to eat, how to sleep, and how to regulate one's body.
After drinking the water of rose wolfberry and honey, Mo Mingzhu went for a run and came back for breakfast. When I got up in the morning, the maid suddenly stared at it.
"What's wrong?"
Maid: "Miss, I, I found that you seem to have become a little whiter recently......"
Mo Mingzhu smiled lightly. "Yes."
It is only a matter of time before I don't drink poisonous water, I change my greasy and heavy diet, and I add external and internal adjustments, and my skin becomes thin and white. It's only been more than ten days, and the skin cycle is twenty-eight days, which means that after a month, she will be whiter again!
"Nurse, I'll take care of the things in the garden today, and I'm going to go out of the house." Mo Mingzhu changed into light clothes and took the veil.
The dungeon, she wants to see it again.
Granny Mo worriedly instructed a few words, but looking at Mo Mingzhu's appearance these days is really amazing, thinking that her few instructions are also redundant - the current eldest lady, not to mention how clever she is, where do you need her old woman's advice.
β¦β¦
As soon as Mo Mingzhu left the house, she hired a carriage and went straight to the place where Grandma Mo found her. The cliff is still there, but why can't I find the way?
It's like a labyrinth, and you can't get into the jungle!
'I'm afraid it's dangerous to rush in, so I'm better prepared next time, so let's take Xiao Yuchen with me." Mo Mingzhu thought and returned to the city. Xiao Yuchen said that as long as she helped him heal his injuries, the treasures of this underground palace would be given to her as gifts.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't she Mo Mingzhu also become a little rich woman with a lot of money?
Hehe, when the time comes, even if she doesn't marry, she will be able to be self-reliant and get rid of the persecution of the Gao family and the messy Mo Mansion as soon as possible.
Mo Mingzhu took out the phoenix hairpin in his arms, looked at it, and put it back. Suddenly, I thought a little bit about that hard and gentle man. "I don't know what Xiao Yuchen is doing at this time......"
Who would dare to believe that King Chen, the god of war, whom everyone admires and fears, is entangled with her, a big ugly girl that everyone despises? Mo Mingzhu couldn't help laughing. Should I say, this big hero has a slightly heavier taste, or does he like inner beauty?
*
It was still early to return to the city, Mo Mingzhu walked around the street, planning to go to his grandfather's house to have a look, and by the way, let the uncle stop collecting medicinal materials for her to treat her eyes, this is not a disease!
People come and go, vendors and buyers are busy! The bazaar is divided into four areas, south, east and west, each of which is large and lively. My grandfather's family lived in Xishitou and opened a spice shop. Her maternal grandfather was the godfather she recognized before her mother got married, and the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites who returned to her hometown, which was very good to Mo Mingzhu.
Mo Mingzhu walked in front, crowded, and didn't notice that in the distance, there was a slightly fancy tall figure following her......
When Mo Mingzhu arrived there, it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the guy was actually closing the door.
Guy: "Girl, you go to another shop to buy spices, we won't do business today." β
"I'm not here to buy anything, I'm here to see your boss."
Mo Mingzhu wore a veil, but the guy didn't recognize it, and he pushed back and forth.
"I'm Mo Mingzhu from Mo Mansion, you go and report it."
Dude was amazed! I remember the last time I saw Mo Mingzhu, he was still hunched over, his eyes were evasive, and he spoke very quietly, where was he so generous and confident.
Mo Mingzhu finally saw his grandfather and grandmother, a pair of kind old men, with half-white hair, and saw Mo Mingzhu looking up and down with old tears, lest a piece of meat be missing.
"I heard a few days ago that you have suffered a lot, and your grandfather and I both want to go to Mofu to see, but we are not in good health, and we can't stand the bumps of the carriage, so we are afraid that we will cause you more trouble when we come, so we didn't come, don't blame your grandfather and grandmother......" The old woman trembled.
"My grandfather and grandmother are so good to Mingzhu, whatever is good will be sent to me, how can Mingzhu blame you." Mo Mingzhu was held by the old man's old but warm hand, and warmth rose in his heart, "It should be Mingzhu who should ask for your forgiveness, Mingzhu was not sensible in the past, and I hope you will forgive me." β
The two old men were surprised, glanced at each other, and then looked at Mo Mingzhu from beginning to end. Although Mo Mingzhu also loved them in the past, he never spoke so generously, let alone had such confident eyes.
"Grandmother, why is it closed so early? There are still a lot of people on the streets outside. β
As soon as the second elder heard this topic, his hair was about to fall out.
"Alas...... Recently, the uncle of the Guogong Mansion also intervened in the spices, and bought a lot of shops, but we didn't sell them, and offended them, so they let the wholesale spice vendors make our spices into tricks, and many spices with similar shapes, eyes, and smells were mixed together, and we ...... You can't sell it. β
The purchase price of spices is expensive, and if this large number of goods loses, they will lose all their money, and this shop will have to be sold if it is not sold.
The son of the second elder, that is, Mo Mingzhu's uncle, has been running for many days in order to find an incense master to distinguish spices, but unfortunately, the spices are mixed and too difficult, and such a genius is really difficult to find.
Mo Mingzhu: "Grandfather, grandmother, there is an incense room in Long'e Academy, I heard that the incense maker is very good, why don't you invite him?" β
The second elder sighed again when he heard this.
"That incense master is so noble, where can we invite it, I'm afraid that the emperor will personally see if he can be invited."
The second elder sighed heavily, Mo Mingzhu didn't feel good when she heard it, she had been cared for by them for so long, and she also wanted to help and repay them. Hey, by the way, aren't her eyes able to see smells......
"Maternal grandfather and grandmother, if you are simply distinguishing and classifying various spices, Mingzhu may be able to help you solve your problems."
When the second elder heard this, he was greatly surprised.
