The thing Bai Heran said was naturally about the rouge shop, and he originally wanted to hand over the shop to Ge Fangxiao to take care of it, but since Bai Yanyu has this potential, it would be better to find her something to do. What's more, the Ge family's business has to be taken over slowly, and the Ge family brothers and sisters have limited energy, so it is better to focus on the jewelry business they are most familiar with.

Ge Fangxiao is good at things on the books, but the rouge shop needs a person who understands rouge to operate, even if the workshop is set up in Tianci Town in the future, the shop also needs to have a knowledgeable shopkeeper. At the moment, Bai Yanyu is more suitable than Ge Fangxiao.

She told Bai Yanyu about this plan, and Bai Yanyu opened her mouth wide in shock, "Is this true?" The second sister really asked me to take care of the rouge shop? "It's something she's always dreamed of.

Bai Heran nodded, "Don't worry about it at home, if I speak, no one will stop me, just see if you are willing." ”

"I do! Of course I do! Bai Yanyu was almost crazy, "Second sister, don't worry, I will do things well, I will take care of the rouge shop properly, I will never ruin your reputation, and I will never do anything to pit people, and those things that Fragrance Pavilion did in the past will never happen in the future." ”

Bai Heran was very satisfied, "It's good that you can have this awareness, remember, I naturally opened a shop to make money, but this money must be earned cleanly." My recipe is unparalleled in the world, as long as you take care of it well, making money is a sure thing, so, don't think about crooked ways, if you have a heart, you can chat more with those rich and idle people, and discuss what kind of rouge they still need. The things we sell can't always be these, at least there must be new products every month, but these new products can't all be on at once, they always have to be stretched little by little, so as to attract more customers. ”

Bai Yanyu nodded vigorously, "Second sister, don't worry, I know all of this, less is precious, if all of them are put on the ground, the guests will not say anything, and there will be a lot less expectations." Take your time, little by little, it will always make them feel fresh, and the cost of silver taels is too much. After all, we can't just do the business of those concubines, we always have to take care of ordinary girls. She was a little embarrassed when she said this, "Just like me, although I am a young lady from the Wenguo Mansion, how much silver can I get to Miss Shu?" I couldn't afford to use the Fragrance Pavilion in the past, so I could only look at it and sigh. So I suggest that our rouge shop should not only be opened to aristocratic families, but can sell some low-priced rouge on the first floor for ordinary girls. ”

Bai Heran thinks that Bai Yanyu is really good, not only is the idea good, but the most important thing is that she is willing to think and can put forward constructive suggestions. It can be seen that handing over the rouge shop to Bai Yanyu to take care of it is not the wrong person.

"You are the shopkeeper, and everything is done according to your ideas." She gave Bai Yanyu the maximum amount of room to play, "But there is one thing I have to tell you, I am only half of the owner of this rouge shop, and half of the owner is my stepmother, the queen mother of our Eastern Qin, so you remember, making money is important, and reputation is even more important." ”

Bai Yanyu was a little nervous, "The queen's shop, I, can I take care of it?" ”

Bai Heran nodded, "As long as you have a heart, you can manage it." As for remuneration......"

"Whatever you want, I don't ask for anything." Bai Yanyu hurriedly said, "I am already very grateful to the second sister for having something to do, and I will never ask for more compensation." ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon Yingchun's voice was heard: "Miss, are you inside?" ”

Bai Yanyu took the initiative to go over and open the door, Yingchun saluted her, and then walked in quickly, "Miss, something happened in the palace." ”

Bai He was stunned, "Something? What happened? ”

Bai Yanyu saw that she had something serious to say, so she hurriedly excused herself to go back to the prison to memorize the rouge prescription, then exited the medicine house, closed the door, and left the Nianxi courtyard with her maid Lichun.

Yingchun said: "Yesterday, after you left the palace, there was news from the Northern Cold Land, saying that the second princess who married Han Ganguo twenty years ago had a serious illness and was in danger. Luo Xiu was ordered by His Royal Highness Ten to come and ask you to see if there is a way to respond. ”

Bai Heran frowned when he heard this, "Han Gan? But in the northern part of Eastern Qin, which country is separated from us by a snow-capped mountain? ”

Yingchun nodded, "It's that Han Gan, we have a princess and relatives in Dongqin who have been there for more than twenty years." Luo Xiu said that he urgently reported to the palace last night, and as soon as the emperor heard about it, he became angry, and he didn't sleep all night, and this morning the court also discussed this matter with the courtiers. ”

Bai Heran walked out while listening to her, went back to his house to wash and change clothes, and then called Ma Pingchuan and Daoguang, and went back to the palace with the Luo Xiu at the door.

Luo Xiu sat in the carriage of Bai Heran, and told her about the second princess and Han Gan along the way, including the secret report, and told the truth.

Bai Heran was not optimistic at all, "Hangan is so far away from Dongqin, I am afraid that it will take a few months for the urgent news to come here, the second princess was critically ill a few months ago, can she survive until now?" ”

Luo Xiu sighed, "The tenth master also said the same, I know that the second princess is afraid that she will be gone at this time." But in order to comfort the emperor, I still have to invite you into the palace, whether you can catch it or not, we have to try, what if you are still there? ”

Bai Crane Ran sighed, "It's okay, even if it's a psychological comfort." I can give the medicine, and as long as the person still has a breath, I will ensure that the medicine will be cured. Keda wrote a letter from Hangan and sent it to Dongqin, and then we took the medicine and sent it back, but it was half a year, or even more than half a year, even if it was critically ill, how could it last so long? She asked Luo Xiu, "Is there a famous doctor in that Hangan country?" ”

Luo Xiu also sighed and shook his head, "It's good to have a famous doctor, His Royal Highness Shicai is still saying that even if there is a great teacher like Luo Ye in Hangan, the second princess may drag it out, and wait for the princess to take your medicine." It's a pity that the northern cold land is barren, and even if it is the royal family, there are not many people who can use it, and it is far from being comparable to a country like Luo Ye. There is little to offer in that place except for the fierce folk customs. ”

Bai He smiled, "When did the people's fierce customs become desirable?" ”

Luo Xiu told her: "Because it's too strong, or tough." The Hangan people are very resistant to cold, and where the people of Eastern Qin could freeze to death in the past, the Hangan people didn't care at all. And they are not only resistant to the cold, they are also powerful, and they don't want to die when they fight, they don't use weapons, and they use their heads to knock their heads when they hold the enemy. The enemy was knocked out of their brains, but they had nothing to do, and they could immediately knock another one. But the Hangan people are not willing to live in the northern cold land all the time, and they also want their descendants to live on a different piece of land, so they have been coveting the land of Eastern Qin for a hundred years. ”

"So in order to ensure the safety of the border, Dongqin sent the princess over to make peace, and changed the peace for twenty years?" She asked Luo Xiu, "What about before the kiss?" Constant fighting? ”

Luo Xiu nodded, "It's true that the war continues, at that time, His Royal Highness Ten was not born yet, and the Eastern Qin generals withered, and almost no one was available except for one old general Guo." And princesses and relatives are also a tradition in all dynasties, so when Han Gan asked to marry a princess of Eastern Qin, no one thought it was inappropriate. ”

Bai Heran didn't speak anymore, and he didn't say anything more until the carriage arrived in front of the Xuanwu Gate.

Yingchun carried the medicine box and wanted to enter the palace with her, but was stopped by Bai Heran, only took a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box and took it with him, and then entered the Xuanwu Gate with Luo Xiu.

Dao Guang looked at her back for a while, then turned around and asked Yingchun: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Yingchun sighed lightly, "If something like this happens, it's inevitable to be sad!" Even I thought the two princesses were very pitiful. In such a bitter cold place, the princess of a country was sent to be married, and she wanted to marry a monarch with such a fierce folk style, and the days of these years can be imagined. It's just that being friendly is regarded as a very normal thing, how can a young lady have such a temperament accept. ”

Daoguang didn't think so, "If sending a princess to make peace can replace one battle after another, why don't you accept it?" The life of the princess is life, and the life of the border soldiers is also life, and too many people will die in a battle, so since ancient times, people have been willing to use this way to avoid war, although it sounds helpless, but it is also a good thing. ”

Yingchun shook his head and didn't say anything. She's just a maid, this kind of thing is not praised, I want to say that I wronged those royal princesses, but just like Daoguang said, isn't the life of the border guard a fate? Defending the country is not their lifelong destiny, but the destiny that all Eastern Qin people should have, but some people can't resist and can't lift it, and the burden is on those who can go to the battlefield. Yingchun knew that she was also one of them, so she was not qualified to say who was right and who was wrong.

The white crane dyed into the palace and went straight to the Qingming Palace.

At this time, Emperor Tianhe and Empress Chen were there, as were all the princes in Beijing, even the sixth princess Jun Changning and Princess Jun Lingxi were there. The atmosphere in the Qingming Hall was very bad, and when Bai Heran entered the outer hall, he heard the eldest prince saying: "Don't be too sad, don't be too sad, the tablet has been enshrined at the other end of the Buddha Light Palace, and Master Qingyuan has already gone to invite him, and he will enter the palace soon." We arranged the best puja for the second emperor sister to comfort her soul. ”

Jun Changning wrinkled his eyebrows, he didn't like to hear this the most, "Big brother just concluded that the second emperor sister is no longer there?" The letter only said that she was seriously ill, but she didn't say that the person was gone, as her mother's family, if even we gave up, what hope did the second emperor sister have? If she's still alive, aren't we trying to force her to death by doing this? It's pitiful enough for the second emperor sister to marry far away, why do we have to offer her a tablet before we have received the news of her death? Woo......" As she spoke, she began to cry.

Emperor Tianhe looked at the sixth daughter under his knees, and his heart was also very uncomfortable......
