Chapter Twenty-Nine: What the Hell Is a Treasure?
Another guy said: "Second Miss, 'Palace Powder' is used in the palace specified by the Queen Mother today, although there are stocks in the store, it is reserved for the eldest lady, and we dare not make the decision and hand it over to the second lady." After speaking, Jiang Ziyan and his party came in, walked out of the counter, and greeted Jiang Ziyan.
"Everybody is here, please inside. We have a variety of good gouaches here, so you can choose from them if you want. "The man came to give a salute, and his conversation was neither humble nor arrogant, and although he had a businessman's smile on his face, he did not have the usual businessman's philistine.
The shop is full of all kinds of incense powders and incense pieces.
"We just look at it casually, and we don't have to accompany us." Jiang Ziyan saw that the guy was following in unison, so he said.
Jiang Qiaochu heard Jiang Ziyan speak, only then did he turn around, and saw that it was Jiang Ziyan who was carrying Ning Xiangju, Jiang Qiaochu, who had always been gentle, virtuous, kind and benevolent in front of people, stepped forward and said, "The eldest sister is here?" A smile appeared on his seemingly gentle and kind face.
Jiang Ziyan turned around and said, "It turns out that the second sister is also here." The corners of Jiang Ziyan's lips seemed to be hooked, and then a breathtaking smile appeared.
The two guys in the shop were stunned, "Isn't this young lady the eldest lady in Jiang Shangshu's mansion?" ”
"It's our young lady, what's the matter?" The crescent moon stepped forward and stood beside Jiang Ziyan, staring sideways at the two guys.
The guy at the counter walked out and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the eldest lady, the little March doesn't know that it's the eldest lady, I hope the eldest lady will atone for her sins." ”
The name March is simple and easy to remember.
Another guy also saluted: "The little five catties have seen the eldest lady." ”
The name five catties is easier to remember.
Jiang Ziyan saw the two guys come forward to give a salute, so he said: "Originally, you didn't know Miss Ben, what a crime, you all go busy, let's go shopping again." ”
Originally, Jiang Ziyan wanted to ask the shopkeeper to come out and get to know him, but because Jiang Qiaochu was here, he said that he was just casually shopping.
Jiang Qiaochu saw that the guys gave Jiang Ziyan a gift, and he was already unhappy in his heart, why are they all Miss Jiang family, and these two people are both servants of the Jiang family, and when they saw Jiang Ziyan, they rushed to give a salute, and they were as cold as passers-by to themselves.
But the guy said in March: "Miss, our shopkeeper said that if the eldest lady arrives at the store, you can pick up the incense powder and incense pieces at will, and you can record them in the account." ”
A few words stunned Jiang Qiaochu's eyes.
Who doesn't know, although this 'five perfume powder shop' is the Jiang family's industry, but it is blessed by the current queen mother, which official eunuch's lady came here to buy things, not first take the silver and then pick up the goods, even the daughter of Guo Shoufu, the wife of the Jiang Mansion, took things in her own store, there was no cash, and she didn't want to take away a box of gouache.
If the guy knows Jiang Ziyan and knows that this gouache shop returned to Jiang Ziyan last night, it's okay to say. Obviously, Jiang Ziyan had never been here, and if he hadn't opened his mouth to say hello just now, these two guys wouldn't have known that this was Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan said lightly: "No need, Miss Ben hasn't taken a fancy to anything yet, but if she does, she will pay the silver." ”
"That is, my young lady has silver, what kind of account is on credit?" The crescent moon didn't know that this shop was now her own lady's, pinching the silver in her sleeve pocket, thinking about the big bag of silver tickets last night, and feeling good about being rich.
"What about 'palace fans'? Miss, don't you use it? "The guy who greeted Jiang Ziyan before was five catties, and the dog-legged man stepped forward.
Speaking of 'Gong Fan', Jiang Ziyan remembered that when he first entered the store, he heard what the guy said to Jiang Qiaochu, so he said, "Then take it out and take a look." "Since it's clear that the store is reserved for yourself, let's see what it is.
The man turned around and went in, and several young ladies came in at the door, led by a pale pink floor-length dress, embroidered with dancing butterflies on the neck and skirt, and her complexion was greasy and white, quite beautiful.
The other was dressed in a light green mopping dress, with small flowers embroidered on the skirt of the collar, and the eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and the two of them looked noble and elegant, and their posture was good.
He was followed by a few rings.
When Jiang Qiaochu saw the comer, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen the county lord of Xiangyue, and I have seen the county lord of Yanghe." ”
The guy standing in front of the counter also stepped forward and bowed and said, "I've seen the county lord." ”
These two were originally the county lord of Xiangyue, the daughter of the eldest princess Bihua, the sister of Emperor Qingyuan, and the granddaughter of Prince Yu, the younger brother of the emperor, the county lord of Yanghe.
Jiang Ziyan had never been out of the house, but later lived in Huguo Temple for five years, how to recognize these two county lords, and when he saw Jiang Qiaochu stepping forward to give a salute, he looked here.
"Coincidentally, I can meet you every time I come to your store." The main road of Xiangyue County.
It seems that they know each other.
"Miss Jiang is also here to buy gouache?" The county lord of Yanghe smiled, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan thought that she would live here in the future, so she had to settle for the rules here, so she stepped forward and said, "The folk girl has seen two county lords. "Since I don't know each other, it's not rude to greet him like this.
The county lord of Yanghe waved his hand, which was regarded as greeting Jiang Ziyan, and was just about to speak to Jiang Qiaochu, when March came out of it, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and when he saw the two county lords, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen two county lords." With that, he stepped aside.
The county lord of Xiangyue stared at the porcelain vase in March's hand with two eyes and said, "Take the things in your hand to the county lord." "The tone of the command does not allow anyone to beak.
"This is a 'palace fan', and I hope the county lord will not be embarrassed." Although March is respectful, it is not excessively humble.
"The county lord just recognized this 'palace powder', so he wanted to take a look, and you dog slave didn't send it forward!" The county lord of Xiangyue shouted loudly, and the girl ring behind him came over and reached out to grab the porcelain vase in March's hand.
"Go away, or the villain will ruin it." March raised his arms and made a gesture of falling.
"Stand aside, step aside." Jiang Ziyan thought that the two sides would have a conflict, and just wanted to step forward to stop it, but the county lord of Yanghe stepped forward and drank Yahuan.
"You don't have to be afraid, we'll just take a look, and we won't take it away by force." The county lord of Yanghe said to March.
It is said that the two county lords came forward, how to say that this March also has to give face, who knows that this March is a tendon. At that moment, he said: "If you want to see this gouache, please ask my eldest lady, the small one really can't be given to you privately." After speaking, he held the porcelain bottle in both hands and sent it to Jiang Ziyan.
The crescent moon stepped forward and picked up the porcelain bottle and handed it to Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan took the porcelain vase and said in his heart: "What kind of treasure is this, the guy is actually guarding it at the risk of offending the county lord." ”
Jiang Ziyan didn't know the origin of this gouache shop, if he knew, he wouldn't think like this.
At the beginning, Fang Pingsha, the shopkeeper of the gouache shop, carried the ancestral secret recipe, took the family to Beijing, and prepared to open a gouache shop in the capital.
Fang Pingsha had nothing to repay, so he had to give the recipe that his father had worked so hard to get to the old grandfather, thinking about what kind of people the grandfather and his wife were, how could they covet what Fang Pingsha relied on for a living, and after several excuses, the grandfather opened a gouache shop in the most prosperous area of the capital, and Fang Pingsha took the secret recipe to become the shopkeeper.
Fang Pingsha's ancestors were originally practicing medicine, and when they arrived at Fang Pingsha's father's generation, they gave up practicing medicine to study rouge gouache.
The first batch of gouache came out, and Mrs. Ye sent a bottle to the current queen mother, who was the queen at the time, and the queen mother praised it and made a decree to make this gouache a palace product, and other gouache shops should not imitate it. And this gouache is not allowed to be obtained by any means, except for those who hold the Empress Dowager's edict. Of course, Ye Yuyao, as the daughter of the old husband and wife, is a special existence.
Fangjia's original secret convenience is the three-year storage method of the stewed tank, the method of steaming and extracting the wood soaked in wine, the method of washing and precipitating the powder, the three methods in one, the natural herbs, natural plants, minerals are refined and processed, this party is labor-intensive and material-intensive, the production is very difficult, and each time the product is very little.
It is not easy to make, it is particularly precious, every year the palace in the palace Niangniang may not be used, sometimes due to a shortage of herbs, the corresponding year's 'palace powder' is not, later, the queen mother decreed, except for Ye Yuyao to use, the rest of the 'palace powder' is all issued by the palace, both the princess and the princess of the palace and the princess who married, are not allowed to buy and use the 'palace powder' privately, and the 'five perfume powder shop' is not allowed to sell 'palace powder' privately.
