(8) Marry a daughter-in-law for your son [2nd Watch]
After more than a month of traveling, I finally rushed back to the capital from Tongzhou, and my mother was disappointed when she saw that I had come back alone, and began to count the sins of running away from home without waiting for me to salute.
The more she talked, the more angry she became, and at the end she began to cry, crying so much that she was choked and sad.
After being away from home for more than half a year, I missed my parents day and night, and now when I came back, I saw my mother crying angrily for me, and I couldn't help but blame myself deeply.
"Mother don't be sad, there is one more thing my son wants to report to your second elder?"
"What?"
My father asked lightly, I haven't seen him for many days, and my father didn't show a happy look when he saw me, he and Yan Sù, there was always a kind of loss between his eyebrows.
I said respectfully: "My son went out this time and met a woman in Tongzhou, and my son felt that she was the person my son was looking for to spend his life with, so he wanted to set a lifelong event and ask his father and mother to allow ......."
I told them about Yanran, and when I talked about it, it wasn't just to make my father and mother happy, but I really wanted to start a family with Yanran.
This decision was not made by my head hot, but the result of a month of careful consideration on the way back to Beijing, after a very graceful separation, her appearance always inadvertently appeared in my mind, her smile, every word she said, every action and even every expression, are deeply imprinted in my heart, indelible, a few days after leaving, I began to miss her, and more and more I feel that she is the person I am looking for to spend my life with.
When I was almost home, I had already made up my mind to tell my parents about it as soon as I got home, and then marry her back home as my wife.
When my mother heard my message, she immediately suppressed her crying and said eagerly, "Since you like that girl, why didn't you bring her back?" In the barbarian land of the south, witchcraft is prevalent, you leave her delicate daughter's house there, what if something happens? ”
The father also followed: "Otherwise, let's send a few people over and take her back to the capital, a girl's house, take this little baby who has not yet been counted, if she is remembered by the gangsters, it will not be good......"
My parents did not dislike her identity as a concubine, so they directly agreed with my decision, and I was very moved by the care of Yanran, who had not yet met, as if she were her own daughter, and I hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Daddy, I have already put her in the hands of Sister Chrysanthemum, and Sister Chrysanthemum will definitely take care of her." ”
"Chrysanthemum? It turns out that she is also in Tongzhou? ”
Mother didn't know that the Shen family had gone to Tongzhou, and when she heard me mention it, she was surprised, and then said: "Chrysanthemum, that girl is the most heartless and unreliable, you put Yanran in her hands, you might as well bring it back and we will take care of it ourselves." ”
"Yes, take it back, put it under our noses, and see what princess Raushzi dares to bully her?" My father said quietly.
In fact, I miss Yanran very much now, and I wish she could enter Beijing, after getting the approval of my parents, I happily said: "Without the permission of my parents, my son did not dare to propose to her without permission, and I don't know ......what she was thinking."
Before I could finish speaking, my father interrupted me and said, "You are doing the right thing, this is a good offspring who knows how to be knowledgeable, you don't need to come forward in this matter, your father will help you fulfill your wish, you have to stay at home, waiting to be your groom!" ”
So, my father and mother couldn't wait to take over the matter of marrying me, and they didn't even think about whether Yanran would agree to accept me as her husband, so they began to do family affairs for us......
At this time, Yanran in Tongzhou didn't know that she had been designated as a daughter-in-law by the Mu family, and she was busy with the newly opened rouge shop.
Chrysanthemum opened the rouge shop on the most prosperous pagoda street in Nong'an County, a two-story small building, the door face is spacious and generous, here was originally a rouge shop, the rich chrysanthemum was smashed down with silver, is to realize the wish of rouge.
Of course, she only said that this shop was about to close down due to poor management, so she cashed it off, so as not to have a psychological burden on Rouge.
The guy and the shopkeeper are the old men of this rouge shop, because they have rich experience in the operation of the rouge shop, Chrysanthemum and Yanran decided to keep them to continue to use, the counters are left by the previous owner, it is still a new and strong, a new paint of oil, you can use it directly, and then replace it with a signboard, move the sample in, and it will be done.
This rouge shop was originally called Hui Yan Zhai, which has been operating in Nong'an County for many years, and has a certain number of customer resources, but Rouge does not want to use the name of the past, the rouge she made is not known how many times stronger than Hui Yan Zhai's, and the selling price is much higher than the original appearance, so if the original name is still used, it will give customers the feeling of sitting on the ground and starting the price, so after thinking about it, I decided to Wen Yange, this name is not only unusual, but also can attract customers.
Chrysanthemum is the shopkeeper, and after the shop is redeemed, it doesn't matter anymore, it's all up to Yanran.
Yanran did not get carried away because of the trust of the chrysanthemum, she always abides by her duty, is conscientious, and has to report to the chrysanthemum first in every detail, and the entry and exit of the silver money is not a single amount of money, so as not to be ashamed of the trust of the owner.
In fact, Chrysanthemum doesn't care about how much money this shop can make, the reason why she looks at this shop is completely to help Cai Wei's future brother and daughter-in-law, she is worth a lot of money, in addition to having a father who has a family of thousands of dollars, but also has a rich husband, that is, their family is lying down to eat and drink, and it is enough to eat for several lifetimes.
Over the years, they have also opened several businesses in Nong'an County, including the first bathhouse, and later several northern style restaurants, all of which were opened for chrysanthemums, and soon they were all closed.
Because whether it is Shen Luming and his wife, or the chrysanthemum couple, they are not interested in making money now, and all their energy and enthusiasm are used to enjoy life and enjoy the joy of family, so those shops are just open for a few days to play on a whim, and they will naturally close when they have had enough.
At the beginning, most of the goods sold were stocked by Hui Yan Zhai, but this was only temporary, otherwise the shop would be empty, and no one would want to go in and buy live.
From the day the shop opened, Yanran was busy in the shop during the day, and after closing at night, she locked herself in the house to make rouge, flower cream, etc., and put it in a box after it was done, and put it on the counter for sale.
As the main recommendation, it was too unconventional at first, but I was afraid that the guests would find it strange and didn't dare to try it lightly, so she basically made rouge, hair oil, fragrance and other big road goods.
Now it is the second year of the year, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the county town have been busy for a year, and they all want to buy themselves one or two rouge dresses, so the business in the shop is very prosperous. But what makes Rouge distressed is that although the business of the shop is prosperous, what is sold is Huiyanzhai's original inventory rouge, and the pure natural and harmless rouge she makes is not cared about at all.
First, it is because the old people in the county have recognized the old brand of Huiyanzhai, and secondly, the rouge made by Yanran is made of high-quality flowers and plants, and the cost is much higher than that of the rouge made casually, so since it was sold, no one has cared about it.
Yanran was very angry about this, and when she looked at the customers, she personally stepped forward to introduce the peddling, but it didn't work, everyone recognized the old brand of Huiyanzhai, and it was really difficult for them to accept a rouge that was several times more expensive than the original rouge, and they didn't know how effective it was.
On this day, Yan Ran was settling accounts at the counter, a carriage that looked very grand stopped in front of Wen Yan Pavilion, the curtain was opened, and a well-dressed young woman walked down, the young woman was about thirty years old, although she was not as good as the high-ranking officials and daughters in the capital, but she was also a double-sided embroidered silk shirt with good materials, a lake blue horse-faced skirt on the lower body, and a maid by her side, which seemed to be the housemother of a rich and noble family in the county.
The young woman has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, very standard, although her facial features are not perfect, she can't find any major problems, her complexion is white and clean, and there are no flaws.
"Madam, please, the shop has new blush, copper dai, as well as all kinds of balms, hair oils, etc., I wonder what Madame wants to buy?"
The young woman coughed with a handkerchief over her mouth, glanced at the female fellow quickly, and did not speak, but her face turned red at first.
It's just a no-brainer to buy rouge gouache, and it's not something to be ashamed of?
Yan Ran adhered to the principle that no guest should be let go, walked up to the young woman, and said with a smile: "What does this lady want?" Why don't you follow me upstairs for a cup of tea, and we'll talk slowly. ”
"Yes, we have a few new products in our store, which are the best goods made of fresh flowers and plants in the season, which are much better than the goods brought in by other sellers, and only beauties like you can use it, and we don't recommend it when others come." The female guy said sweetly on Yanran's side.
Women can't listen to beautiful words, and as soon as they were sold, the young woman was moved and went upstairs to drink tea with Yanran.
When the two sat together, Yanran suddenly smelled a strong fragrance and pungent smell, she was a little stunned, it was not unusual for the woman to rub incense, but the young woman's body fragrance was too strong, so thick that it almost smelled strange, as if the summer meal was rancid.
The two chatted in a private room on the second floor.
Unexpectedly, this young woman was Ge Shi, the county magistrate of Nong'an County.
The county lady took a maid to the street to buy things? Yanran is even more strange.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ge Shi said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, I want to buy a fragrance to wipe my body today." ”
Fragrance? It's not an unusual thing, why is this Ge Shi hesitant? Still looking ashamed, what kind of fragrance does she want?
Seeing that Yanran was puzzled, Ge's cheeks "brushed" to the root of his neck, glanced at the maid beside him, and spit out embarrassing personal matters: "I have fox odor, this disease has not been cured for many years, and I have been rubbing my armpits with incense." In the past, it was fine, but now in the past two years, the symptoms have become more and more serious, and the general aromatherapy and fragrance are a little uncontrollable.......
Yan Ran suddenly realized, no wonder she smelled a very strong fragrance on Ge's body, presumably she used a lot of spices in order to suppress the body odor. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, most of the problems in the armpits are due to the unblocking of sweat glands, and the fragrance is too strong, but it will make a strange smell, and people close to it are uncomfortable to smell.
Seeing that she was born very well-looking, but no one was perfect, and she had such an unspeakable privacy problem, Yanran thought about it and said, "In this case, Madame might as well try it with peach blossom cold incense powder first." ”
Ge's incense is mostly roses and other strong fragrances, and when he heard the peach blossoms, his eyebrows frowned: "The peach blossoms taste light, can this work......
Yan Ran said: "The strong fragrance is effective for a short time, but after a long time, the taste will become a strange taste, so it is better to restrain it with light elegance." Peach blossom cold fragrance powder is powdery, Mrs. can use a soft wool brush to pounce a little bit of the affected area every time, dry and clean, not as oily as ordinary fragrance, sometimes it will leave marks on the armpits, unsightly, and will cause sweat to not be discharged. ”
Although Ge Shi has some doubts, there is no other way, this problem is really annoying, he can't even participate in the banquet, every time he talks to someone, he has to endure the unbearable face of others, this kind of embarrassing taste is not understandable to others.
Hey, let's use it first, after thanking her, I asked the maid to go to the counter to pay the bill, and Yanran suddenly asked: "Cold incense powder is just a symptom, has Mrs. ever thought about curing the root?" ”
"It's easy to say, why don't you want to? Our wife also went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines that disperse wind and sweat, aroma and scale, paste, eat, wash, all tried, but it was useless. The little maid beside Ge interjected.
Yan Ran said: "I have a private ancient prescription here, called the dark incense pill, which is taken internally, and after taking it for fifteen days, it will begin to have some effects, according to the severity of this problem, more than thirty days, there will be different effects." I don't know if Madame would like to try, but it will take about a day to do. ”
Ge Shi was shocked, can this girl's prescription work, this problem can't even be cured by the doctor in the hospital, and what can be done in one day shouldn't be a precious medicinal material, but he has a glimmer of hope: "Then trouble the girl, I'll call the maid to pick it up at noon the day after tomorrow." ”
