"You don't have much to think about." Shopkeeper Tong interrupted unceremoniously.

To be exact, there is nothing to think about.

Listening to the tone of the shopkeeper Tong, Kong Manhan knew that there would be no change if he continued to talk about it. But she felt unwilling, so she pretended to pat herself on the thigh, and said regretfully: "Alas, it's all my fault for not being angry!" I'm sorry for your trouble, shopkeeper Tong. ”

"Nothing troublesome. I eat this bowl of rice, and I must do things well. Shopkeeper Tong sneered, and then pointed to the counter behind him, "I still have a lot of things to do here, Boss Kong, do you see?" ”

"Okay, then I won't bother much...... I'll go back and see my sister. Kong Manhan got up as he spoke, glanced at the inner hall of the Huaxi Pavilion, and then said without a smile: "Then I'll leave first, you don't have to send it, shopkeeper Tong." ”

Shopkeeper Tong got up and wanted to send it out, but as soon as he heard Kong Manhan's words, he immediately stopped and said, "Then you slow down." ”

Watching Kong Manhan go out, Shopkeeper Tong shook his head and returned to the counter, and continued to calculate the accounts.

Kong Manhan came out of Huaxi Pavilion, stopped without taking a few steps, turned to look at the top signboard, took a sip, and said, "What a thing!" There will be a day when you will beg me. ”

As for the Yao family, at this time, he was in his own house, in the bedroom.

Wang Wenxuan and Yao sat on either side of the collapse, with some pastries and fruits on the table. But it doesn't look like anyone has moved.

The two did not speak, Wang Wenxuan played with the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and Yao Shi was holding a letterhead and reading it. After a long time, he sighed and muttered, "This Mrs. Yong'an Hou, why is she so fond of scheming with a village girl." ”

After hearing this, Wang Wenxuan asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, mother?" ”

Yao folded the letter and put it aside, and said quietly, "It's not Xiao Wan's business. I don't know how the news spread so quickly, Mrs. Hou already knows about the leakage of her ointment prescription. ”

"Maybe it's not passed on, it's Mrs. Hou who specifically inquired about." Wang Wenxuan shrugged her shoulders and said.

Yao's was not interested at all, she said: "What she meant in the letter was that she could have met with Lin Xiaowan, and for the sake of her husband, she would never have embarrassed her." But now she looks like a hornet that has been stabbed in a hornet's nest, and I can tell how angry she is from this letter paper alone. ”

"Yes, she kept saying that she couldn't give her a prescription, but someone else got it and made the same thing. She is a dignified Mrs. Hou, but she doesn't have to be angry. ”

Wang Wenxuan put her hands down, folded them on her laps, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and said thoughtfully.

Yao didn't care about the outcome between them, she only cared about the impact on her.

Thinking of the contents of the letter, Yao couldn't help but worry.

"The point is, now Mrs. Hou still thinks that I am deliberately defending Lin Xiaowan. And they've been talking about our cooperation. Tell me, I'm just a messenger, why did I end up being mine? ”

"Because you've reaped the benefits." Wang Wenxuan said with a smile.

Yao pursed his lips, looking helpless. She changed the topic and asked Wang Wenxuan, "Are you going to go to Huaxi Pavilion with me tomorrow?" ”

Wang Wenxuan said without thinking: "Of course I want to go!" I'm going to pick the handkerchief as soon as possible. ”

"My little ancestor, don't pick again. There aren't many handkerchiefs in total, all of them were picked by you, what else do we earn? Yao made a joke, but he was also explaining to Wang Wenxuan that he couldn't do it again in the future.

But Wang Wenxuan is such an obedient child.

"Such a big Huaxi Pavilion, and it is not bad for so many handkerchiefs. I just like my daughter. Wang Wenxuan was coquettish.

Yao had no choice but to tap her forehead with his finger and scolded: "You, you're really a ghost." ”

Wang Wenxuan smiled, "It's not good for my mother." ”

"Bah, I didn't teach you."

The two mothers and daughters laughed and scolded, and the atmosphere eased a lot. But in Yao's heart, there are still unclean stones pressing, and she is worried about whether she will offend Mrs. Yong'an Hou.

Besides, Mrs. Yong'an Hou is looking at it with a prescription in her hand.

There were two porcelain bottles on the table, both open, and the ointment inside looked the same. After looking at it for a long time, Mrs. Hou put the prescription down, picked up two porcelain bottles and put them under her nose to smell.

There is a difference in smell, but as for the effect...... She didn't try.

"Chunlan!" Mrs. Yong'an Hou shouted.

"Madame, what do you command?" The girl called Chunlan came in from outside, bowed her head respectfully, and put her hands in front of her.

"Go find a girl with acne on her face, her skin is a little worse." Mrs. Yong'an Hou commanded.

"Okay."

Chunlan retreated, but after half an hour, she led a thin little maid in from outside.

"Ma'am, someone brought it." Chunlan said, and then said to the maid behind her, "Minglan, please say hello to Mrs. ”

"Hello ma'am." Minglan knelt down, her voice was not loud, and she sounded a little trembling.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou smiled: "I'm not a jackal, tiger and leopard, as for being so afraid of me?" Get up. ”

Chunlan saw that Minglan didn't move, so she went to pull her up again. Then I saw Mrs. Yong'an Hou pick up a bottle of ointment on the table and said to her, "Use this to wipe on Minglan 's face, only half of her face." ”

Chunlan didn't dare to ask, and according to Mrs. Hou's instructions, she went over to take the ointment, and then smeared it on Minglan 's left cheek.

After that, at the behest of his wife, he smeared another bottle of ointment on Minglan 's right cheek.

All that's left is to wait.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't speak, and Minglan and Chunlan stood there waiting. From time to time, Minglan would look at Chunlan a few times and ask her with her eyes. Chunlan just shook her head slightly, not daring to say more.

Half an hour passed before Mrs. Yong'an said, "Take her to wash her face." ”

The two of them then withdrew.

Out of the house, Minglan asked Chunlan in a low voice: "Sister Chunlan, what is this thing that Madame asked me to wipe?" ”

"I don't know. I knew that I bought it from a village woman, and I heard that it was good for the skin. Chunlan said uncertainly, and then asked, "Do you feel anything on your face?" ”

"One side of the face is cold, and the other side of the face is not feeling. It's just slippery and greasy. Minglan said truthfully.

Chunlan didn't know what the effect should be, so she didn't say much, took Minglan to wash her face, and then returned to Mrs. Hou's room.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Mrs. Hou say, "Don't keep your head down, lift it up." ”

Minglan raised her head cautiously, but she didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Hou. Chunlan reminded softly on the side: "It's okay, you take it easy." ”

After looking at it from a distance for a long time, Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't see any difference, so she simply got down from the collapse, walked to Minglan and kept staring at her cheeks.

"Like, the one on the left is better." Mrs. Yong'an Hou said, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with it?" ”

Minglan shook her head: "No, madam." ”

"Is there anything different about that?" Mrs. Yong'an Hou asked again, and after speaking, she pointed to Ming Lan's face and added, "These two faces." ”

"The left side of the face is cool, and the right side of the face doesn't feel anything." Minglan said.

After watching it for a while, Mrs. Yong'an Hou asked her to go back. and gave the ointment to Chunlan, and told her to let her wipe Minglan every day, one on both sides of her face. But don't confuse the two.

After the two of them left, she went back to sit down, picked up the recipe and looked at it again.

This is the prescription that her people took from Liu Cui, and the method of boiling it also has a rough idea. At that time, when Lin Xiaowan was talking about the boiling method, the people there did not record everything.

If the boiling method is different, at most the effect will be different, she is not worried. She was just afraid that something would go wrong, so she asked someone to try it.

Now it seems that the situation is okay.

I just don't know if there will be any consequences if I use it for a long time.

That's why she asked Chunlan to take the ointment down and start an experiment on Minglan . If there is a problem...... It's just ruining a little girl's face.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou thought: It would be good to give some compensation when the time comes. As for the guilt, everything is pushed on Lin Xiaowan.

"Lin Xiaowan, Lin Xiaowan. If you don't make a good deal, you have to say no. Do you have any chips now? Isn't your husband's leg as good as your small business? I feel sorry for your husband. ”

"You still want to let the Yao family take a line, just rely on you, what qualifications do you have to talk to me face-to-face?"
