"Your Highness!" The two grandmothers suddenly changed their faces, and said in unison: "You are too ruthless, right?" ”

"It's the mother concubine who is ruthless!" Rong Chen's face was expressionless, and after saying this, he instructed Beiyang: "This palace doesn't want to hear the noise anymore and drive people away." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Beiyang immediately stepped forward, stood in front of the two grandmothers like a big mountain, and said coldly: "Please go back!" ”

The grandmothers showed an unwilling look on their faces, but they had no choice but to leave with hatred.

The rain was even heavier.

Rong Chen sat in the gazebo, looking at the thick rain curtain, his heart was like this gloomy weather, and he didn't know when the fog would dissipate.

……

It rained for three days.

In the past three days, Shen Nianzhen has been nesting in the courtyard every day, studying the ointment and counting the silver at the same time, and the total amount of silver she has now made up in her hand is only 5,000 taels of silver, which is still far from the 30,000 taels of silver that she wants to repay Doctor Ge.

"It seems that in the future, every fifteenth day of the new year, I will go to Wangjiang Tower." Shen Nianzhen muttered to himself.

Soon after these words, at the end of the month, Shen Nianzhen went to greet the old lady early in the morning, accompanied him to breakfast, then came back and hurriedly put on makeup, and changed into the same clothes according to the previous dress, and then, put a veil on his face, and led the painting out of the house.

However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she ran into Shen Nianzhu, who came to find her.

Shen Nianzhu has been detained in the house by the third lady Ding these days because of the marriage is not going well, and rarely goes out, but today it took a lot of effort to ask for Ding's consent, as soon as she can go out, she immediately came to find Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen beckoned her to get into the carriage and went to Wangjiang Tower with him.

"Big sister...... Your face ......" Shen Nianzhu looked at Shen Nianzhen's almost unrecognizable face, and was a little surprised.

"It's okay, I deliberately put on makeup like this, just because I don't want people to recognize me." Shen Nianzhen reached out and touched his face, and said with a smile: "You actually recognized me at a glance just now, it's amazing." As he spoke, he took off his veil.

Shen Nianzhu pursed the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and said, "Big sister, you just changed your makeup and clothes, but your temper and personality are still you!" Even the voice hasn't changed, and even when I look at your eyes, I know it's you. ”

Shen Nianzhen was suddenly a little embarrassed when she heard this, which showed that her disguise technique had failed.

"But outsiders shouldn't recognize it." Shen Nianzhu added.

This is what Shen Nian really wants! As long as you can hide the majority of people, then it will be successful.

The carriage went all the way to Wangjiang Tower, and there was no road jam or other conditions on the way, and it arrived smoothly. The car stopped in front of the door, Shen Nianzhen pinched the corner of her skirt and just got off the carriage with the help of the picturesque, someone rushed over, and suddenly knelt down in front of her: "Benefactor!" You're coming! I'm kowtowing to you! ”

Shen Nianzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Shen Nianzhu to take a step back, looked at the beggar on the ground suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?" I don't know you, do you? ”

"Miss Qi! The little ones know it! The beggar raised his head, showed a fairly clean face, and said gratefully: "Half a month ago, the little one was still full of leprosy and acne, ugly and unspeakable, even if he asked for food, no one was willing to give me money, and everyone avoided me when they saw me......"

"Hit the nail on the head!" Picturesque hummed.

The beggar hurriedly said: "Later, a young lady who came out of Wangjiang Tower threw a small bottle of ointment, and the small one was smeared, who knows!" It's only been half a month! I'm a leprosy on my head! And the pimples are all gone! Nothing! ”

"Then you should thank that young lady? Thank you for what I do? Shen Nianzhen said with a smile when he heard this.

She already remembered that the medicine that the beggar said was the medicine she gave to Liu Wanqin that day, and she didn't look down on her own medicine, so she threw it to the beggar as soon as she went out.

The medicine she didn't want cured the beggar.

"No, no, no, although the medicine was given by that young lady, it came from your hand! You're the miracle doctor! The beggar kept saying, "Of course the little one is going to thank you......" After speaking, he lowered his head and banged his head a few times.

His face was full of dysentery and pimples, which had tormented him for many years, and now that he was well and relaxed, he could not express his joy in words.

When Shen Nian really saw it, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that you're sick!" You don't need to thank me so much, after all, my medicine was paid for money, and it was a hundred taels, which day that Miss Liu gave it to you, you have to thank her, you should thank her! ”

After speaking, he smiled at the beggar, and then led Ruhua and the others to Wangjiang Tower.

When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they all rushed to the building, shouting incessantly: "Divine doctor! Miracle Doctor! Let's take a look at it too! ”

The shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower saw Shen Nianzhen, and greeted him with a smile, half a month ago, Shen Nianzhen just rented a private room for him, and gave him five hundred taels of silver, five hundred taels! This is a business without capital, and it is a net profit! How much silver is the total amount of water in his Wangjiang Tower in a day?

This Miss Qi is really an out-and-out God of Wealth!

The God of Wealth is here, of course, he has to do his best to arrange!

"Miss Qi, would you please go upstairs, is it still the private room from yesterday? Or do you want something bigger and more comfortable? The shopkeeper followed Shen Nianzhen upstairs with a smile on his face.

"Just yesterday." Shen Nianzhen smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Money shopkeeper, you can go with your business!" Wait a minute, ask the guy to send a pot of Lu'an melon slices, and then send some delicate snacks, after that, don't worry about me. ”

"Good! Good! That's it! The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and did not follow behind, but went downstairs to make arrangements.

Shen Nianzhu looked at this scene in surprise, she had never seen the money shopkeeper have such a time to curry favor with ordinary people.

Of course, Shen Nianzhen is not an ordinary person.

A few people entered the box, hung the banner, and before they had time to sit down and drink a cup of tea, someone outside rushed in from outside, and the person who came was Liu Chunniang, she seemed to be waiting for Shen Nianzhen here, as soon as she saw her, she immediately held her hand, and said excitedly: "Miss Qi, I have done what you say, look at my current appearance!" ”

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly put down the teacup when he heard this, asked her to sit down beside him, and looked at her carefully by the bright light shining in from outside.

I saw that Liu Chunniang was indeed thinner than half a month ago, and her body shape had changed a little bit, and the makeup on her face was already trying her best to imitate Shen Nianzhen, but it still looked rough and unsightly, not only because of the makeup skills, but also because the makeup was different.

Although it is not satisfactory, Liu Chunniang's overall image is much better than the last time.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly smiled: "Not bad, not bad!" Stick to it, or in two years, you will really step into the ranks of beauties, today, I will put on a different makeup for you. ”

As he spoke, he opened the dressing box he had brought.

"Miss Qi, can you sell me some of these things? I can give money! Liu Chunniang saw a large number of bottles and cans placed in those dressers, each of which had a unique shape, and the last time, it was these things that made her change her appearance.

Shen Nianzhen looked at the silver ticket she was holding in her hand, and hurriedly declined: "Chunniang, when you leave, I'll give you some, there's no need to pay any more money." ”

The last time she just put on makeup for Chun Niang and gave her a set of dresses, the total cost was only one hundred taels, but she received a silver ticket of one thousand taels, how could she still accept it now?

"How can that work! Aren't you going to lose money? Hearing this, Chun Niang insisted on stuffing a fifty taels of silver ticket into Shen Nianzhen's hand, with a look that if she didn't accept it, she would look down on her, Shen Nianzhen had to reluctantly accept it, and planned to wait for Chun Niang to leave, and give her a few good ointments that can whiten the skin, all of which were recently researched by the master.

During this time, Shen Nianzhen inquired about Liu Chunniang and knew that this woman had a short temperament, and she was a sideways figure at home, although she was not very treated by her father because she was ugly, but she had never suffered a loss in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War over the years.

This has created Liu Chunniang's jealous and hateful temperament, and also created her simple and kind character, the last time Shen Nianzhen not only let her experience what it is like to be a beauty, but also did not show disdain for her from beginning to end, which made her feel respected, so she really liked Shen Nian, and she had been looking forward to seeing her again, and today she was waiting in Wangjiang Tower early.

Not much to say, Shen Nianzhen quickly put on a very different makeup for Chunniang than before, the hair bun and shape are gentle, and the clothes also chose a set of pale pink plackets with pleated skirts, I have to say that Shen Nianzhen really has a pair of hands that can turn decay into magic, obviously they are all very ordinary things, but in her hands it is like divine help, Liu Chunniang, who changed her clothes after putting on makeup, has really changed her appearance, although she is not a stunning beauty, but at least she is a little beautiful.

Walking on the road, it can also make people look back a few more times.

"Look at it, are you still satisfied?" Shen Nianzhen said with a smile.

Liu Chunniang immediately stood up impatiently, looked left and right at herself in the bronze mirror, and praised herself: "Miss Qi is really amazing!" Why do I think I'm a little different today than I was today? But it's also pretty! ”

Her maid magpie interjected, "Isn't it! Miss Qi really has a pair of skillful hands! Last time our young lady went back, our lord didn't even recognize her! Later, after knowing it, I kept nodding my head, and asked my young lady to learn more from you, and in the future, I will be able to get married! ”

"If Chun Niang can have a good home, it will naturally be a great thing." Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this: "In this way, your father still likes you very much." ”

Liu Chunniang was noncommittal when she heard this, and pursed the corners of her mouth: "My father cares more about my second sister." ”

At this time, Shen Nianzhu gently pulled the corner of Shen Nianzhen's clothes on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Big sister, why does she call you Miss Qi?" ”

"Oh, I'm using the pseudonym Miss Qi outside, I don't want to reveal my true identity, don't talk about it later." Shen Nianzhen whispered.

I see!

Shen Nianzhu suddenly realized, and nodded again and again when she heard the words.

Here, Liu Chunniang couldn't put it down and looked in the mirror, touched the clothes on her body, and said to Shen Nianzhen very proudly: "You can match the makeup with a beautiful skirt every time here, I have never seen it in the shop outside, and the workmanship is also of the highest quality, sell me this dress, how much silver?" ”

Shen Nianzhen smiled and stretched out two fingers.

Liu Chunniang took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels very heroically, and handed one of ten taels to her together, and said, "Then ten taels, please have tea with your friends." ”

As he spoke, the smiling one was about to lead the magpie away.

But at this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and someone walked in from the outside, the gorgeous clothes, the slender figure, and the familiar veil on the face, who is it not Liu Wanqin?

She's here too!

"What are you going to do?" As soon as Liu Chunniang saw Liu Wanqin, her face immediately changed, and she rolled up the two sleeves with a brush, and her willow eyebrows stood up.

"Heh, eldest sister, it turns out that you are also here." Liu Wanqin stood still, glanced at Liu Chunniang, and immediately showed a trace of ridicule on her frightened face, and said in a weird manner: "You changed your appearance half a month ago, but it turned out to be Miss Qi's credit!" ”

"So what." Liu Chunniang said coldly.

"Humph! A crow is a crow, no matter how hard you try, you can't become a flower magpie! Don't bother with that! Liu Wanqin said sarcastically.

"You're afraid you're mentally retarded, aren't you? The crow and the magpie are both black! Liu Chunniang couldn't get used to her like this, and immediately sneered: "It's all from a mansion, where do you think you are nobler than me?" I still want to count on marrying His Royal Highness the Second Prince as a side concubine! Don't look at you like this, among the talented women in Beijing, you can be regarded as the last class at most, right? If His Royal Highness the Second Prince really takes a fancy to you, then he is blind! ”

Good! Well said!

On the side, Ruhua nodded with Shen Nianzhu again and again, and almost clapped his hands and praised.

I didn't expect that although this Liu Chunniang is a little ugly, her heart is good! Although she didn't know that the pseudonym Miss Qi standing in front of her was the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, her indignant appearance was very good for the two of them.

Ruhua immediately decided that when this Liu Chunniang came back in the future, she would definitely take more care of her!

"You, you ......"

Liu Wanqin was not light, thinking that every time she faced up with her eldest sister in the past, she never got any benefits, so she endured this breath at the moment, walked in front of Shen Nianzhen, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said condescendingly: "You can give me some more of the ointment last time." ”

Shen Nianzhen glanced down at the silver ticket, and his expression was very indifferent: "Miss Liu, what do you mean?" ”

"Our lady buys your ointment! What else could it be interesting? ”

Liu Wanqin's maid Chunxing said unceremoniously: "You pay for the ointment, we pay for it, is there a problem?" ”

"Of course there is, I don't sell the ointment."

Shen Nianzhen said lightly.

"What? You're not selling? Why don't you sell me? Liu Wanqin was taken aback when she heard this, even through the veil, she could see that she was very angry.

Liu Chunniang on the side immediately laughed and gloated: "Are you deaf?" People have said that they will not sell it! What are you doing standing here in vain? Stop others from doing business! Let's go! Don't be an eyesore here! I'm not afraid that your veil will fall off and scare others to death! ”

"You!"

Liu Wanqin trembled when she heard the words, she boasted of her beauty, her eyes have always been above the top, when did she suffer from this kind of wretchedness? I'm going to be angry!

But on the contrary, her face is indeed invisible at the moment, and the symptoms of allergies are not only not better than last time, but are more serious.

The immediate priority is to heal your face as soon as possible.

She hadn't seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince for a long time.

"Miss Qi, don't you think you have enough money?" Liu Wanqin endured her anger, took out another silver ticket of one hundred taels from her purse, and handed it to Shen Nianzhen: "I'll double the money." ”

"Miss Liu Er, it's not a question of money or not." Shen Nianzhen glanced at her lightly when he heard this, and then said unhurriedly: "If the ointment I gave you last time, you applied it seriously, and you would have recovered by this time, there is no need to do it at all, I have already given you the ointment, and I don't want to sell it to someone who looks down on me again, please go back." ”

"Miss Qi, what happened last time was my fault."

Liu Wanqin knew that this was the case! He hurriedly explained: "I shouldn't have thrown your ointment to that beggar, I already regret it, so let's do it, if I have an extra thousand taels, you can sell the ointment to me." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out two more silver tickets of five hundred taels from his purse.

Boy! The daughter of the Shangshu family of the military department, she is generous! Take a few hundred taels and a few hundred taels out......

In contrast, her father's heaviness is simply too incorruptible!

"I'm sorry, I still can't take your money."

Shen Nianzhen said lightly: "Everyone has to pay for what they have done, let alone a thousand taels, it is 10,000 taels of silver, I will not sell the ointment to you today, you can ask for another mastery!" Picturesque, send-off! ”

"Yes, miss." Ruhua immediately stepped forward and said to Liu Wanqin unceremoniously: "Please leave!" ”

Liu Wanqin was so angry that she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth.

The silver ticket in her hand was almost deformed by her pinching.

"Okay, okay." She glanced at Shen Nianzhen deeply, and said coldly: "Miss Qi, I remember you!" After speaking, Chunxing, who led his maid, turned around and left.

"Miss Qi, you are really too bold!"

Liu Chunniang on the side praised it: "It's very different from ordinary women!" I like you so much, let's be friends! ”

She had just thought about what she would do if Shen Nianzhen sold the ointment to Liu Wanqin, probably, she would come to spend money to buy Shen Nianzhen's clothes, things, and jewelry in the future, so that she could make herself beautiful, but she would not treat her as a friend anymore.

Shen Nianzhen could refuse Liu Wanqin so simply, which she never expected.
