"These individuals are really," Li Zheng hated that iron could not be made of steel, "and his hands and feet were not clean." ”

"No, they deserve to lose their jobs." Qin Shi then scolded, "It's just that they deserve to lose their jobs, if they harm our village, we won't be able to find a job in Erniang in the future, it will be bad." ”

Li Zheng frowned: "What about the three families who are still making trouble now?" ”

"It's a shame to make trouble." Qin pouted.

"The best way to do this is to ask them to return the stolen things, and then apologize to Erniang", Li Zheng said, "It's just that those three families are estimated to be hanging." ”

Qin Shi nodded: "Since they can do such a thing, if they force them, they may be able to apologize, but if they return the stolen soap, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." ”

The main thing is who stole how much, and there is no accurate number, and now there is still a lot of trouble over who has more and who has less.

"That is, Erniang, taking care of the friendship of the same village, otherwise it will not report to the official, and everyone will know about it." The Qin family said hatefully, "But the head of the family, although the three daughters-in-law did not do it right, but our village ......"

"I understand what you mean", Li Zheng interrupted her, "How do you say that I am also the head of our village, find an opportunity, I will talk to Erniang about this." ”

Zhao Zhai, Doctor Luo rushed to the study like a gust of wind, still carrying a dead rabbit in his hand.

"Childe, it's done! Became a childe! His face was flushed, and there was a faint excitement in his speech.

"What has it become?" Ace hurriedly let people into the room, glanced out of the door, and said, "You speak slowly." ”

Doctor Luo then remembered that this house was being watched by someone all the time, and he was so excited that he forgot to hide it, and then he hurriedly said: "I have researched a new prescription, and it is done." ”

At the same time, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Poison." ”

With a grim expression, Ace closed the door of the study, cut off the line of sight, and asked quietly, "What poison?" ”

Doctor Luo tightened his expression and said in a low voice, "Go to the secret room and talk about it." ”

The two people in the room ate at the same time, which seemed to be a very important poison.

Zhao Mingxu nodded, got up and walked into the secret room first, followed by Doctor Luo, leaving Ace to guard outside.

The two sat down face to face, and Zhao Mingxu noticed that Dr. Luo was holding the small bottle brought by Liuli in his other hand, and now there were two identical bottles in front of his desk.

"Immortal Jade Dew?" Zhao Mingxu frowned suspiciously.

"Yes," Dr. Luo nodded, "Last time, I ran into Erniang by chance, and found that she was holding this thing, and I felt that the smell was very unusual at that time, so I asked to come over and study it carefully." ”

"That's what you said about poison?" Zhao Mingxu's brows tightened.

"Childe, do you remember Sanyuanmu?" Dr. Locke did not answer the rhetorical question.

Zhao Mingxu frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "In the early years, the carved ornaments of foreign tribute, I remember that they were made of extremely rare three-yuan wood, because you said that they have medicinal value, I begged my father to allow you to study quietly?" ”

At the beginning, Zhao Mingxu was still the prince of the East Palace, his status was noble, he was modest, and he also admired Luo Cheng as a physician, Luo Cheng was very interested in the wood of Sanyuan wood, which grew in the snowy and cold land of the extreme north, and heard that there was an ornament made of such a thing that was paid tribute, and begged the prince for a whole month, wanting to take a small piece of study.

Zhao Mingxu couldn't resist his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he begged his father in the end, and quietly deducted a small piece from under the base for Doctor Luo to study.

Later, Zhao Mingxu moved out of the East Palace, and this thing was also brought out, and then Luo Cheng wanted it, so he gave it all to him directly, I thought it had been demolished by Luo Cheng, but was there still it?

"It is this", said Doctor Luo, "I have been studying Sanyuan wood for many years, although the wood fragrance itself has a very light taste, not easy to detect, but it lasts for a long time, when I studied Sanyuan wood in the early years, I saw it in an ancient book, saying that Sanyuan wood mixed with ambergris and evening red grass, the fragrance produced will be a chronic poison, people in this environment for a long time, the body will slowly decay until death." ”

Zhao Mingxu's brows furrowed, he already realized something.

Dr. Luo continued: "What's more, crushing ternary wood and mixing it with ink can make the writing smoother and have a faint fragrance. The three-yuan wood itself is extremely rare, and ambergris is not available in the saint, and the moonsaw red grass is a rare herb only in Shu, and it is very difficult to pick......"

"But you found the smell of evening red grass in the fairy jade dew water?" Zhao Mingxu had already guessed.

"That's right," Dr. Luo held up the fairy jade dew in his hand, "by chance, I was able to put together these three things, and after my experiments over the past few days, it has also been confirmed that it can indeed produce toxins and kill people." ”

Looking at the dead rabbit that Doctor Luo was holding in his hand, Zhao Mingxu was silent for a long time before he said, "Don't talk about this matter to anyone." ”

Physician Luo nodded, naturally understood.

"How much is left of that three-yuan wood carving?" Zhao Mingxu asked again.

"I know that this thing is very desirable, so I have used it very much over the years, and now I still have most of it left." Dr. Locke said.

Zhao Mingxu looked at the small and delicate jade bottle, and pondered for a long time, he remembered that Liuli said that the fairy jade dew water is very popular in Shangjing, and the ladies in the palace like it......

"Take it back." Zhao Mingxu said in a deep voice

"Yes."

In the evening of the same day, Ace retrieved the remaining three-yuan wood carving from Dr. Luo, which was once the size of a water basin, but now only half of it is left.

"Childe, what's the use of asking for this?" Ace asked a little puzzled.

Zhao Mingxu took the wood carving, put it under his nose and smelled it, and the fragrance was faint and imperceptible.

"Crushed, mixed in my ink." Zhao Mingxu said lightly.

Shangjing, which lasted for a month, the Rouge Pavilion branch was finally opened, Wei Zi and Coral had not come back for a long time, and this time they came back to explain to Liuli.

"The store is not big, but fortunately, the location is good", Wei Zi said, "The work has also been found, because the prices in Beijing are quite high, and the wages of the workers are higher than those in Xingping." It's just that although they signed the deed, they only dared to send them to do some simple work. ”

Things like making lipstick and extracting glycerin from soap, Wei Zi still does it herself.

When he comes back this time, Coral can stay in Xingping, but Wei Zi must return to sit down.

"The lipstick is small, I think this thing can be made from Xingping and shipped to Shangjing", Liuli said, "As for glycerin and soap, we still have to trust someone to make the key step." ”

"I know," Wei Zi said, "the time is still short, and after a long time, we will be able to see who is trustworthy, and when the time comes, we will sign a long-term contract with him." ”

Liuli nodded, and asked again: "Is business good in Beijing?" ”

"Erniang, don't worry", Wei Zi said with a smile, "The signboard of our Rouge Pavilion is there, so naturally the business is not bad." ”

"There is one more thing, I want to ask Erniang's opinion." Wei Zi thought about it and said again.

"What?" Ruri asked.

"Our fairy jade dew is very popular in Shangjing, many little ladies praise the unique taste and good smell, I wonder if this fragrance can be mixed into lipstick, so that the lipstick will also have a fragrance?"

Liuli thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "From the perspective of the production method, it is not impossible. ”

"Then I'll tell Xiaocao, let's try to make a few first?" Wei Zi said, "Originally, it was added to other rouges, but the fragrance is rare, and if you want to add it, you will add it to our most expensive and popular lipstick." ”

"Rare things are precious", Liuli smiled, "If all the rouge in the Rouge Pavilion are added with this fragrance, this fragrance will also lose its uniqueness." ”

"That makes sense", Coral, who had been listening to the two of them, suddenly spoke, "I don't think it's okay to add all the lipsticks, didn't Sister Wei Zi say that she wanted to make some exquisite and expensive lipsticks and sell them to the nobles in Beijing?" Why don't we just add perfume to these? ”

"This method works." Wei Zi immediately nodded in affirmative.

"Then let's do it." Ruri agreed.

After only staying in Xingping for three days, Wei Zi went on the road again, with a large number of perfume and temporary lipsticks with spices, these lipsticks can only be regarded as semi-finished products, and when they arrive in Beijing, Wei Zi will also order a batch of beautiful jade tubes, and then put the lipsticks in it, and they can be sold.

Coral didn't go with him this time, and stayed in Xingping, where Liuli was able to get out and get some free time.

She made two bottles of unscented fairy jade dew water and took them to Zhao's house.

After arriving, I was told that Zhao Mingxu was copying scriptures in the house these days.

"Didn't you say that the problem at home was solved?" Entering the inner room, Liuli asked with some confusion, "Why are you copying these again?" ”

"It's not so fast", the hand didn't stop, the man didn't raise his head, but the corners of his lips unconsciously raised the arc, "There was an epidemic a few days ago, and I didn't have the heart to copy it if I couldn't send it out, but now it's all good, I must copy more to make up for it." ”

"Want to help?" Liuli approached and looked at the man who wrote carefully with one stroke, and the man who was really serious was the most handsome.

Feeling the unique light fragrance of the girl, Zhao Mingxu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and said with a sigh of relief: "If you stay away from me, you will help." ”

Glass:......

Finally finished copying one, Zhao Mingxu raised his head and saw the two small bottles placed in the corner of the table: "Made a new one for me?" ”

"Yes" Liuli pursed her lips and said deliberately: "According to your request, the fragrance-free fairy jade dew I made myself, the two bottles from the previous time, is it good for Childe to use?" ”

Zhao Mingxu immediately smiled: "Very good." ”

Looking at this delicate little bottle, and then at the slowly stacked Buddhist scriptures piled on the case: "You ......" Zhao Mingxu opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"What?" Ruri asked lightly.

"Nothing" didn't say it after all, ambergris, ternary wood and evening red grass, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to collect these three things at the same time.

"How's your branch in Beijing?" The man asked.

"Business is booming." Liuli suddenly became triumphant, "I heard them say before that the fairy jade dew water was sold to the palace, I thought it was an exaggeration, I received a reply from Sister Wei Zi a few days ago, saying that there was really a large number of purchases in the palace in the shop." ”

Zhao Mingxu fumbled with the small bottle in his hand, his eyes were light and distant: "It seems that it is really as you said, the ladies in the palace love to use it." ”

"Of course, Niangniang is also a woman, and there are few women who don't like it."

In Beijing, in the bedroom of Emperor Zhengxuan, Jia Qiaoer rubbed her belly for six months, and her face was happy and shy.

Emperor Zhengxuan glanced at her, it was already the second child, and although Jia Qiaoer, who was pregnant, was not as slender as before, there was another charm between her eyebrows and eyes.

"You are heavy, you shouldn't be tired", Emperor Zhengxuan's voice was rare gentle, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days, and I really miss Qiao'er." ”

Jia Qiao'er smiled shyly and said softly: "Qiao'er also misses Your Majesty and is willing to come." ”

Emperor Zhengxuan hugged the person closer, buried his head in her neck, a unique fragrance came into his nose, and he took a shallow breath: "Good fragrance~"

"It's fairy jade dew, does Your Majesty like it?" Jajol laughed.

Hearing this familiar name again, Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned, and then smiled: "What, you all like to use this?" ”

"The concubines and concubines all use them, so naturally I can't do less." Jajol said angrily, "Otherwise, what if Your Majesty doesn't like me?" ”

"Silly girl" Emperor Zhengxuan gently touched her cheek, "I like you with anything, but now that you are pregnant, you have to be more careful with what you use, you know?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured", Jia Qiaoer gently rubbed her cheek on the back of Emperor Zhengxuan's hand, "It's all about asking the imperial doctor to see it, and it's okay to say it." ”

"That's good." Emperor Zhengxuan was relieved.

"Your Majesty, the concubine still has one more thing she wants to ask the emperor." Jacoral straightened up suddenly.

"What's the matter, tell me about it?" Emperor Zhengxuan was obviously in a good mood at this time.

"The concubines heard that a few days ago, the court department purchased a lot of lipsticks, all of which have a unique fragrance, different from other lipsticks next to them, and the concubines also wanted them, but they bought all the lipsticks from the Rouge Pavilion, saying that they were for the ladies in the palace."

"You, you're really a child's heart", Emperor Zhengxuan smiled dotingly, "I'll ask the Inner Court Division to send you some when I go back." ”

Jia Qiao'er was happy now: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The two of them were warm, and the sound of eunuchs reporting outside.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Zhengxuan asked loudly.

"Your Majesty", Wang De came in and replied, "Someone from outside reported it, saying that it was ......" He glanced at Jia Qiao'er beside Emperor Zhengxuan, and then said, "It is said that it is from Xingping, the Buddhist scriptures copied by Prince Qing have arrived, there are ninety-nine volumes, and the prince said that he was slacking off a while ago, and he specially copied more these days, and asked His Majesty for his guilt." ”

"It's rare that he has a heart, so let's present it." Emperor Zhengxuan said lightly.

"Yes", Wang De responded and left, and after a while, he presented a stack of copied Buddhist scriptures and put them in front of Emperor Zhengxuan's case.

"No Buddhist scriptures have been sent for many days, and I don't know if the second child's words have regressed." Emperor Zhengxuan said lightly, just like that, he hugged Jia Qiaoer with one hand, and looked at the Buddhist scriptures copied by Zhao Mingxu with the other.

Not far away, ambergris faintly lit with a wisp of green smoke.
