Chapter 626: Herbal Tea
Although Master Gan Lin himself does not come to the mansion often, his voice often appears in Yun'er's ears. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yun'er is in charge of prices, and many times she can't grasp the level of prices, so Master comes to remind her. didn't tell her the ready-made answer, but Yun'er also realized that the price of goods should also be natural, and it can't be completely determined according to her own imagination.
The people of the Qing Dynasty were very poor, but some officials, businessmen, and the old and young of the Ming Dynasty were not poor. The common people buy what they can afford, those who are officials love face, those who have money also love face, they also love to hunt for curiosity, and they specialize in buying what others don't have. So I'm not so obsessed with the price, that is, selling goods really depends on people's dishes. Good things are sold cheaply, and the buyer still looks down on you.
The jewelry store in Fujin is also similar to the antique shop of Old Man Cao, and many exotic jewelry is bought by women as rare treasures. This is not bad, but the Commander's wife's herbal tea shop is a bit troublesome. The girls and grandmothers in the house picked up a lot of flower petals, not only for roasted wheat buns, but also for drying and selling as herbal tea. The Queen Mother's eyeliner was also sent here to report the sales situation here to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother clearly knows that this shop is a franchise store of Lord Rui, and she also has to take a good look at where the endless stream of herbal tea comes from.
The commander's wife would enter the palace once a month to visit her daughter, and the queen mother "invited" her to Cining Palace at this time. After the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked straight to the point: "Isn't the dowry shop of the commander's wife selling gouache and rouge?" How do you sell flowers and plants to people? ”
Who is the Commander's Wife? It's still easy to deal with other people's difficulties. Hurriedly said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine saw that the face of Rui Wangfu Fujin was getting more and more ruddy, and then asked her what panacea she had taken to become younger." Fu Jin said that it was the recipe that Fu Jin gave her to nourish her face and moisturize her skin. Don't look at the concubine who is in her fifties, and she also wants to keep the face of her eighteen-year-old, so I begged her for help, and the result was really effective. So the idea of selling herbal tea was born, and a dowry shop that asked for Huang Pu'er was changed to sell herbal tea. ”
"Does it really work?" The Queen Mother's interest suddenly came up. She is the top woman in the Great Qing Kingdom, enjoying supreme power and material comforts, and she wants to live a long life. It's just that the years are not forgiving, and when the "No. 1 Beauty in Manchuria" has wrinkles quietly creeping up the corners of her eyes, the skin on her body is not so moisturized and elastic, and it is developing in the direction of goosebumps. The elixir of immortality is hard to find, but it is also good to alleviate aging.
"You tell Hongu about this herbal tea? For example, what flowers and plants can be used as herbal tea? ”
"Yes, the concubine will tell you. The slave is a parrot, they all came from Princess Ruiyun, and there are not many things that can be remembered. This herbal tea refers to the herbaceous plants whose roots, leaves, stems, and flowers are decocted or brewed to produce an aromatic flavor. For example, famous teas such as Tieguanyin, Pu'er tea, and white tea, with roses, osmanthus, hibiscus and other flowers, medicinal herbs, wolfberry, apples, peaches, pears, etc., are herbal teas. ”
"Princess Ruiyun said: 'Herbs can be used by drying the whole part of the plant because of its fragrance, irritation, and other benefits, including the roots, stems, bark, flowers, branches, leaves, fruits, seeds, etc., all of which can be used as medicinal herbs. It has a shorter growth period than woody plants and is easily accessible. The uses are also ever-changing, most of them are used in food seasoning, medicine, beauty and dyeing. What Fang Fujin said is more comprehensive than the slave maid, and the concubine told you what she remembered? ”
"Okay, you go on, Miss Flowerbranch, and serve refreshments to the Commander's wife."
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Fang Fujin said that flowers and plants can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, gather the morning dew of the wilderness, gather the spirit of mountains and rivers, have the effect of overcoming hundreds of poisons, inherit the essence of the universe, and contain the energy of enlightening thinking. You can refrain from drinking, but you can't let herbal teas slip out of your life. ”
"Well said! Hongu also wants to use herbal tea. ”
"It's so wise for you to use herbal tea. The concubine is dealing in herbal tea, and she is also a beneficiary of herbal tea. There are many benefits of herbal tea, and the slave will introduce you to a few, do you try it first? ”
"Okay, that flowery girl, go get a pen and write down the recipe that the Commander's wife said."
"The concubine first said green tea and chrysanthemum tea. It is really difficult to understand what compounds, fats, vitamins and so on that side Fujin said, and the concubine didn't remember it, so she said that after these two kinds of tea are put together, they can increase the water, nutrients and metabolism in the body and reduce fat deposits. The slave's understanding is that increasing the water in the body will not dry out the skin, and it can suck in what is good for the body, and excrete all the bad things. Fat is the fat on a woman's body, just like the sac on the belly, which can be melted away. Chrysanthemum tea can have a relieving effect on fatigue caused by excessive play, and the refreshing taste can reduce the greasy feeling of food. Hehehe, the concubine is a parrot, you are smiling. ”
"Hongu is listening carefully, you said it very well, and it's hard for you to remember this."
"Thank you for the encouragement of the Queen Mother, the concubine said that Pu'er tea and rosemary, using rosemary to make tea, can eliminate stomach bloating and bloating caused by eating too much greasy food during the festival, and can also lose weight. Pu-erh tea has the effect of nourishing beauty and maintaining good health. The slave and maid said that there were two kinds of them, and they couldn't remember too much, and when they came next time, the slave and maid wrote them on a piece of paper, so as not to forget them. ”
"Okay, good, you're such a heart."
After the commander's wife knelt down, the Queen Mother and Su Mo'er muttered again: "Do you say that this Princess Ruiyun is a human or a god?" How did she remember that? ”
Su Moer smiled: "Isn't there a saying, there is nothing difficult in the world, only people with hearts." Since Princess Ruiyun wants to send silver to the treasury, she can't be a petty fight, and she has paid attention to everything in the foreign land, and has learned a lot of skills and come back. ”
"This little woman, it's not easy!"
"The slave maid thinks that the Lady of the Commander is not simple. She was already in her fifties, and she could actually remember what Fang had just said. ”
"I didn't care about them when I went to the Japanese Palace. But this is also a good thing, this palace heard that Aya'er's mother likes to associate with those women the most, but she hates to talk about some national affairs, saying that women should look like women, husbands and children, and it is serious to live a good life. ”
"Slaves and maids think they are just ordinary women."
"Stop! Are you saying that this palace is not an ordinary woman, and she is involved in national affairs? ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Su Moer was frightened and quickly knelt in front of the Queen Mother and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Okay, okay, it's just a hurry, and this palace doesn't blame you. The palace is not willing to mix in political affairs, you also know that the emperor's personality is paranoid, if you don't restrain him a little, it will be like a horse without a halter, no one rides on it, then you don't know where to run. Even if the main palace is so restrained, the effect is not very good. Alas, it's a pity that this palace is here, why doesn't the emperor even have a woman like Xiu'er and Yun'er by his side? Do you also know that the emperor brought Dong E's family into the palace, how much did this dragon power detract? The dignified son of heaven actually used a woman who was used by other men! Why didn't Bengong see her in a good place? Cheng Tian was like a sick Shih Tzu, and he took away the emperor's soul. If it is often said by the Han people, it is ****! Is poetry and poetry useful for Jiangshan Sheji? Cheng Tian's family is together, you and I are together, Qingqing and mine, and the emperor's fighting spirit has been wiped out! The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more angry she became, and she scolded the vixen a thousand times in her heart.
"Queen Mother, you are angry, the slave maid looks at many men who have a flower fetish and want to protect weak women. How else to call it a man? ”
"Hehehe, our Su Mo'er has actually observed men, do you think Lord Rui is a good man or a bad man?"
"Queen Mother! The slave is angry with you! People are talking about the emperor, but you mentioned Lord Rui. ”
The Queen Mother laughed: "Don't you dare to make Aunt Su angry?" After pondering for a long time, he said: "This palace has never seen through this Rui Wangye, it is really difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery!" You say, are we going to test what he's thinking? Forget it, it seems that we have the emperor's people in Cining Palace, there is a bit of turmoil here, and the emperor will know it immediately. Ay! This palace didn't say anything about you, don't be too careful. ”
Su Moer smiled reluctantly: "The slave and maid are not careful, there is a saying, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower is popular for a long time." ”
"That's a brilliant statement."
The commander's wife went to the Ruiwang Mansion without returning to the palace after leaving the palace, hurriedly came to the Yiran Tower, told Fujin about the conversation between herself and the Queen Mother, and then said, "Auntie didn't say anything wrong, right?" ”
"You said it very well, the Queen Mother ignored her questioning, and your head was gone at this moment."
"Auntie didn't understand what she wanted to do with such a question? The aunt went to the palace to see her daughter, and she was kidnapped halfway. One sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, making people six gods and no master. ”
"You can be content, among all the princes of the emperor, the queen mother's favorite is Xuan Ye. Love the house and the black, she won't do anything to you. It's okay, it's okay, but she always mentions what we Yun'er do? ”
"Didn't you just think that the side Fujin in the house was a righteous daughter, but you just like it, what else can you do? Oops not good! Did the old lady have the purpose of taking Fang Fujin into the palace to compete with Concubine E? But that'......"
"Auntie, it's not impossible, it's very possible! The side Fujin in our house is two years older than the emperor, and it is not very big, whether it is talent or appearance, it is not inferior to the concubine E, does the old lady have any plans to take Yun'er into the palace to be concubine? ”
"Xiu'er, don't panic, listen to what your aunt said. Who's in charge now? Or the emperor, right? According to the emperor's favor for Concubine E, there is no one in his heart, only that fox spirit is liked. Besides, Prince Rui and your family are working hard to make money for the emperor, and they still want to occupy the emperor's brother's woman? That's too unconscionable, isn't it? You don't have to worry about it, what is the emperor's affection for Prince Rui? Can you compare Lord Rui with Bogol? Besides, Lord Rui rescued the car twice, and he still wanted to occupy his woman when he turned around? ”
Fu Jin's head was booming, and he finally endured it and accompanied his aunt with a pleasant face. After the commander's wife returned home, Fu Jin could no longer sit still. I personally went to Feiyun Tower, found the prince outside, and told the prince what the commander's wife said when he saw that there was no one around.
"Not really, right? Isn't the old lady afraid that people will say that she will kill them all? The emperor is not a child anymore. Besides, his mind is on Concubine E, there is a reason why he took Concubine E into the palace, the two of them have been eyebrows, do we Yun'er have it? Not to mention other men, they have never been obsessed with me, a serious man. ”
"It really doesn't matter?"
"It's okay, it's okay, can you come in and sit down?"
"The concubine won't go in, and Xue'er will fall asleep on the bed alone. Then the concubine went back? ”
"Why didn't you follow anyone?"
"The concubine came by bicycle. Although you say so, the concubine is not at ease, the emperor can take advantage of his younger brother's woman, and his brother's is also ......"
"Don't think so much, the affairs of men and women are all what you and I want, and one party is unwilling and can't achieve the goal."
Yun Er heard the conversation between the prince and Fu Jin without falling, and her recent abilities are very good, not only can she see and hear many things in the world, but also see the changes in the heavens, and even see the creatures on other planets. She agrees with the prince's point of view, the emperor is not a person without right and wrong, and he is also angry with Concubine E. When the emperor saw Concubine E once, he was very impressed and wanted to keep her brand during the general election. But it just so happened that the emperor had just abolished the former queen and sent it to the cold palace, so could the queen mother give the queen's position to someone else? Didn't you think that the girl of her family, Borzigit, was going to rule the harem? If Borzigit chooses another girl from Borzigit to be the emperor's queen, she will still have a lot of face. So I took the current queen from the grassland, first the concubine, and then the queen. At the same time, Dong E's marriage was assigned to Bomu Bogol, and the emperor and Dong E's were separated. This didn't play any role at all, the emperor is still not interested in the current queen, it's not that she is not good, it's that the emperor is quite dissatisfied with the queen mother's arrangement: I am the emperor, and I make my own decisions about my marriage! But he can't ignore filial piety, the emperor is not filial to his mother, how can he set an example for the world? So he treated it negatively, coldly treated the queen, and then tried to get Dong E's family into the palace, and then canonized the queen in the next step.
Yun'er hates men being slimy the most, either swearing by mountains and seas, or giving what she wants. She doesn't agree with the idea that girls should be pampered, how many girls are pampered and domineering, and they make a lot of noise if they don't go their way, and even beat and kill the maids around them at will, taking human life as a child's play.
I don't care much about what Fu Jin said, at least the prince has rescued the emperor and has saved his life, even if it is the emperor, he can't be without any human flavor.
But Fu Jin was still very moved by his return to Yun'er. If you change the house, maybe that Fujin will be desperate. Your children are mine!
Through the commander's wife, she knew the general intention of the queen mother, and the prince, Fujin and Yun'er all recognized that the queen mother would have some scruples, because the current emperor has no one in his heart but Concubine Dong E. Moreover, the prince has rescued the emperor and suffered poisoned arrows for the emperor, and the emperor values love and righteousness, and will not take revenge. But they only looked at this matter from the emperor's point of view, and underestimated what the Queen Mother was going to do. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to give up her niece's and granddaughter's queen throne, and she would also contribute to this matter. What they didn't expect was that the queen mother's eyes were fixed on the materials that the three princes bought from a foreign land, and wanted to carry all of them into the palace as Yun'er's dowry, and then teach them to the internal affairs government to operate "justifiably".
