Chapter 128: When We Meet Again
January before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind is whining, the fallen leaves are yellow, and the weather is getting cooler.
In order to enhance people's understanding of brown sugar, Chi Yue deliberately added the effect of brown sugar on the packaging: invigorating qi and blood, and beautifying the skin.
As for the details that brown sugar helps relieve menstrual cramps, can also treat wind chills and colds with ginger, and is helpful to people along with other ingredients and herbs, because the packaging is limited, it is not easy to explain too clearly, so Chi Yue had to give up.
But she specially went to five pastry shops in the county town to help her sell brown sugar, and gave them a free brown sugar health class, which opened their eyes and promoted it to the public for her.
It worked.
As the weather gets cooler, many people, especially young children, suffer from wind chills. Some people come to get brown sugar just to try it with the rumored ginger jujube brown sugar tea. After all, brown sugar is much cheaper than traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also convenient to make it yourself.
As a result, some people try to see the effect in two or three days, and it is even faster than the medicinal materials bought in the pharmacy.
As for beauty, cosmetics are scarce nowadays, and many people have flaws on their faces and have to cover them up with rouge gouache, and there is no other way to do it. Now that I heard that brown sugar has such an effect, women who love beauty will naturally not miss this opportunity to improve their skin and try it secretly.
Some people not only drank brown sugar, but also made brown sugar masks and applied them, but after a few days, the results were effective.
As a result, brown sugar has gradually become popular among women.
On this day, Chi Yueti was eating a lot of pastries and was about to go to Ear Street to visit many friends.
Lu Ke, Goudan, Da Niu, Miao Miao, and Coriander, because they helped Chi Yue sell black chicken and white phoenix pills, saved a few taels of money, and no longer became a beggar on the street.
Every day, in addition to handing out leaflets, they helped Li Chang sell black chicken and white phoenix pills, and they were very busy.
Chi Yue would visit them every ten days and a half months, and every time she would go with the food that the children liked to eat, because the children were especially looking forward to her.
Along the way, Chi Yue was preoccupied.
Not long ago, she listened to a lot of discussions, but they were all talking about the good news in southern Xinjiang, and they were all dancing with joy when they talked about it.
But it turned out that it was on the battlefield near the river in southern Xinjiang, Dasheng first destroyed the enemy's most lethal cannons and crossbows, and then took advantage of the enemy's chaotic opportunity to personally lead an army of 100,000 troops, like a surging river that broke the embankment, instantly flooded the military camp of the enemy leader, causing it to collapse and flee in all directions.
The commander drove straight into the country majestically, and he captured several important cities in succession, and even approached the capital of Xinyi State.
The Xinyi royal family was shocked, knowing that they could not withstand the impact of this blade no matter what, so in order to avoid the destruction of the whole territory, they flew the white flag in panic and expressed their willingness to form an alliance and ask for peace.
The letter of invitation sent to the capital of Dasheng State stated that Xinyi State voluntarily maintained peace on the border between the two countries for ten years, and would no longer infringe on the territory of Dasheng State, and paid tribute to Dasheng State with 100,000 gold, silver and jewelry every year to show his surrender, and hoped that the monarch of Dasheng State would open up his side and withdraw from the border of Xinyi State.
When the emperor received the gold, silver and jewels, he issued a decree that the commanders who had been driving straight into the country should return to the country immediately, and Wencheng, which was occupied by the enemy, was immediately free.
For a time, the whole country celebrated.
Chi Yue naturally knew who this majestic commander was.
Everyone has a "Rong Wangye", but she affectionately calls "Gu Han" in her heart.
Everyone portrayed him as comparable to the dragon and phoenix fire god in the sky, and he must have come down to save the common people, otherwise how could he complete the cause that General Wen had not achieved for two years in just two months, and almost took down the entire Xinyi Kingdom?
This is not God, what is it?
Chi Yue recalled all the details of getting along with Gu Han in the past, and in the past, he only felt that he was so ordinary, but he was a little more noble and kind than others. Even if he knew that he was a prince, he didn't feel how shocking he was. After all, her background is not manpower, she values a person's own ability more.
Until this time, hearing that he had such a talent that no one could match in military affairs, not only could strategize, but also gallop on the battlefield, it was really bold and wise, so that she had to be impressed.
And Gu Han is still young, and he has not yet reached the crown, because Chi Yue, like everyone else, can't help but feel that he is too young and talented, and he also spontaneously has a sense of worship.
It's just that she has the same suspicions as everyone else. Why is it that the emperor of Dasheng Kingdom wants to give up this good opportunity to occupy the entire territory of the enemy country and unify Kyushu from now on?
Could it be that as the emperor of the Great Sheng Kingdom, he doesn't have this ambition, or is he compassionate for a while, or is he afraid of the comeback of the Xinyi Kingdom, or is there something else that is not easy to say?
While everyone praised King Rong, they couldn't help but sigh for it. It was as if King Rong's strength alone was enough to crush the enemy country and unify Kyushu.
Chi Yue thought back to the news she had heard, and couldn't help but wonder that in this era of very underdeveloped communications, it would take ten days and a half for this news to reach this small place in Baihua County. After all these days, Gu Han would have gone back to the capital a long time ago, right?
I don't know if he will marry Prime Minister Han Cheng's daughter after he goes back?
But thinking of this this time, Chi Yue didn't feel inexplicably hurt for a while like before, but was quite relieved.
Gu Han was able to evacuate the battlefield safely and go back to the capital, which was enough to put her mind at ease.
And such a genius with both civil and military skills should be called an equally excellent talented woman, Han Qi is said to be such a peerless beauty. This pair made in heaven, if it can really be a good thing to come into pairs and tie the knot, why shouldn't she bless the two of them?
On the road, while thinking wildly, he walked hesitantly, and suddenly two or three people passed in front of him, and Chi Yue felt familiar for a while, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.
When it came time to see clearly, Chi Yue thought that she had misunderstood, and couldn't help but catch up with the first few steps, wanting to see more clearly.
Aren't the three young men hooking shoulders the two sons of the Chi carpenter's family, Chi Chen and Chi Wu?
The one next to him who laughed the most was not Chi Yuan, who was it!
How could the three of them hook up together?
As soon as Chi Yue saw Chi Yuan, she couldn't help but think about the bad place, only to feel that it must be the two ignorant half-grown children of Chi Yuan's lead, and they want to do something unseemly.
He remembered that the carpenter had told her that his two children had been acting abnormally lately, going out early and returning late every day, or even not returning at night, and he was afraid that the two children would go down a crooked path, and from then on they would be out of control.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to quietly follow in order to find out what the three were up to.
After all, she still can't completely let go of the bad luck she brought to the pool carpenter.
Following and following in front of a two-story building, Chi Yue suddenly stopped and didn't dare to follow.
Outside the door and inside the door are full of heavy makeup warblers and swallows, with a few beautiful scenery on their chests and backs, and they are snorting to attract male passers-by on the road, wishing that they would enter it with their fat in their arms, enjoy a moment of strong affection and softness, and be full of passion.
Chi Yue raised her eyes and looked at the plaque, "Chunxing Building", what is it if it is not a brothel?
Oh my God, the three of them were just fifteen or sixteen half-grown children, and Ji Wu was only a year older than her, so why did they go into a place like this and mess around?
Could it be that these days, they have been lingering in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and they refuse to go home because they are indulged?
But if you linger in this kind of place, you need to have a lot of money in your hand. Not to mention that Chi Yuan still owes her a heavy debt, let's just say that Chi Carpenter's two sons have no financial source, where can they have the spare money to fool around here?
Chi Yue hesitated for a moment again, determined to go in and ask the three of them face to face, what was going on.
It would be great if I could persuade Chi Chenchi Wu to change his mind about this.
Unexpectedly, she had just stepped into the threshold, and only paid attention to the several pairs of suspicious eyes that came over, but Chi Yue didn't pay attention to one of them, and almost bumped into one person.
"I'm sorry, I didn't ......" Chi Yue was still about to continue, and when she saw the man, the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it anymore anyway.
The person in front of him, handsome and bright-eyed, extraordinary instruments, exudes an otherworldly, graceful temperament from the inside out, like a fairy.
Even in the Qinglou where the layman comes and goes, this person still stands out from the crowd, the calm and calm in the starry eyes, clear and dust-free, and it makes people think that he just came to listen to the Oiran here to talk about poetry and songs, and it is by no means like many people, who came just to find flowers and ask willows, and win the soft fragrance into his arms.
When the other party saw Chi Yue, he was also stunned, frozen in place, but his eyes suddenly shone with brilliance.
The four eyes are intertwined, and the past strikes like lightning, which catches people off guard, and the five flavors are mixed.
"Gu Han, why are you here?" In addition to this, Chi Yuewei really couldn't think of a better word to inquire about this friend who had been absent for a long time.
But after asking, she felt that this question was not so appropriate.
This is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, as a man, of course he came here to find flowers and ask willows, so why should she ask more?
In the past, Gu Han behaved in front of her as a dignified gentleman, and it didn't look like a lack of women's popularity, if he wanted to be fragrant and soft, there would be countless girls in his arms, wanting to sing the piano and cranes, and talking about lyrics and songs in the snow, and there were many talented women among the nobles who had frequent contacts with him, and Wen Jing who liked him was not one? Why do you need to come to this vulgar place, and you have no identity humiliated?
For a while, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and when she asked, she regretted it, and she was a little flustered, "I'm not asking...... I'm ......."
There had never been a moment when her heart had been so flustered!
Gu Han was not much better than her.
Finally saw the person he wanted to see for Twilight, and after seeing her, he thought about what he wanted to say to her countless times in his heart, but it was all for naught, and he didn't know what to say to her.
And he never expected that the place where he would see her again was this unbearable place, which embarrassed him more and more like a fish in his throat.
How was he going to explain it to her?
Do you want him to say that he just thought of this inferior idea to escape into this green building in order to get rid of the dominatrix who was following behind him?
But he was inexplicably afraid that Chi Yue would see that woman, if the two met, how should he deal with it and distinguish the misunderstanding between them?
