Chapter 164: Ice Cave
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Although Xu Rong had never seen that peach wood bead, she knew that this thing was a rare good thing, if she could get her hands on it, her medical skills would be on a higher level, and then the divine doctor of the Dayu Dynasty would no longer be Yan Hao, but her.
Thinking that her family was revered, and the dignitaries and dignitaries kept rushing to Suxintang, the woman's breathing couldn't help but be a little short, her beautiful face was slightly red, and her mood was not stable.
Walking slowly to the table, Xu Rong sat on the round stool, playing with the delicate porcelain box in her hand, looking at the pattern of the orchid grass on it, she hooked a sneer on her lips, first lifted the lid of the box, lowered her head and sniffed the light yellow grease, although the orchid fragrance was light, but it was very long and long, and there was no difference from the blooming flowers.
She dipped her fingertips in a little, applied it to the back of her hand, and slowly kneaded it apart.
Xu Rong frowned tightly, she had to admit that the texture of this grease is not bad, it is moisturizing and not greasy when applied to the face, although it is not the best, but it is better than the cheap, and it cannot attract the ladies of the wealthy families, but the woman who does not have a lot of money at hand loves it like a treasure, she thinks that the grease made by Xue's is evolved from the secret recipe, but she has read the copy of the secret recipe several times, and has never mentioned this orchid balm, where did Xue's get the method?
In Xurong's eyes, there is no one in the world who can compare to her, even if the Xue family has been running a private restaurant for many years? raised in Anning Village, she is a village woman with a fishy smell, and it is a coincidence that she can marry the Marquis of Fuguo, except for a gorgeous face, there is no outstanding place at all, let alone any talent.
If she is interested, she will take the initiative to hand over the peach wood beads, if she is not interested, she will not blame herself for being ruthless and trampling Yan Ruyu under her feet!
Xue Su didn't know anything about Xurong's thoughts, she and Liu Yiqing entered the private hall, because she devoted her heart and soul to it year after year, many old customers knew the proprietress and even knew her quite well, and could say a few words.
Even as the wife of the Fuguo Marquis, Xue Su never pretentiously treats all the guests equally, regardless of status, such a peaceful and approachable attitude makes people happy, and the female guests avoided her identity at first, but later they were full of admiration.
Xue Su, who had prepared the flower dew before, also put a few bottles in the private hall, the dark red glass bottle, the bottle body is boxy, simple and generous, and a little exquisite. Many young guests swept the flower dew on the counter and asked with some curiosity, "Boss, what is this?" I haven't seen it before. โ
Xue Su put down the teacup and explained softly, "A few days ago, I got some peony flower dew, which was prepared with the buds sealed by the secret method, which not only had flower juice, but also added a lot of medicinal materials to nourish yin and nourish the skin. โ
The lady who asked came to be interested and wanted to buy a box, but was politely refused, "This item is small, and it will not be sold for the time being, but you can try it for you, if you like it, it is not too late to buy it after a while." โ
After some female guests finished the massage, the residual elephant gallbladder cream on the face was washed, and then there was a little maid holding a wooden tray slowly walking, on which were placed peony dew, and a palm-sized mahogany box, this box is exquisitely carved, the peony pattern is lifelike, and it is also inlaid with a large ruby, which must be worth a lot.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the guests, Xue Su guessed that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "The inlaid thing on the wooden box is not a gemstone, but a glass from the Western Regions, and a bottle of peony dew is an object, but it is carved by a craftsman, and it looks extraordinarily clear." โ
Hearing this, the lady opened the lid of the box, and took out a thin, soft cotton pad from it, and for a moment did not know how to use it.
Xue Su held the cotton pad between his fingers, poured the peony flower dew on it, and then gently wiped it on the face, the faint fragrance spread, and the woman's whitening and delicate skin made the surrounding ladies couldn't help but open their eyes, but they didn't expect the flower dew to be used in this way.
"Mrs. Chu is really thoughtful, and she actually came up with this method, which is much better than what Su Xintang sells." A tall, thin woman glanced across the side and spoke slowly.
"That's right, the slimming water sold by Su Xintang has the same effect as Yang Liulu, and I don't know where I got the recipe, it's really strange ......."
"Slimming water?" Xue Su kept an eye on it, and after the female guests present had tried the peony dew, Liu Yiqing sent the maid to Suxintang to buy a bottle, she opened the lid of the box, smelled the familiar smell of plants and trees, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Where did Xu Rong get the secret recipe? Is it Cheng Sanniang or someone else? When she was in Anning Village, Cheng Sanniang stole all the secret recipes at all, there were only a few kinds, even if Yang Liulu was among them, but Su Xintang sold more than this decoction.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, but I couldn't figure it out.
"Su Niang, you don't have to worry, it's better to let Xu Cheng go to check the origin of Xurong first, it is said that a woman with such a skilled medical skill should not be unknown, if you find out her identity, if you want to find out the reason, it is only a matter of time." Liu Yiqing sighed.
"What you said also makes sense, but she obviously came prepared, and Princess Jinyue is protecting her, and she wants to find out thoroughly, I'm afraid it's not easy." As the words fell, Xue Su commanded the tall guard, who responded with his fists and retreated.
Yan Ruyu's peony flower dew is different from the cheap orchid balm, just looking at the exquisitely made glass bottle, you can guess that this thing is worth a lot.
I don't know how many women in the capital have a lot of money, people say that things are rare and expensive, and peony dew can only be tried, not bought, like a cat scratching, and the people who hook it are itchy and unbearable. Moreover, the female customers who have tried the flower dew are full of praise, saying that this thing is very magical, and wipe it with a cotton pad, the skin and flesh on the face are more clear than in the past, if you can use it in the morning and evening, the effect will definitely be better.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the flower dew that Xue Su painstakingly blended has won the love of many young girls, even better than the methods recorded in the secret recipe, so that this thing has not yet been sold, but its reputation has spread throughout the capital.
After learning about this, Cheng Sanniang gritted her teeth with hatred, but the number of guests in the beauty shop is getting fewer and fewer day by day, even if she tries her best, it is useless, such a sharp contrast is like a sharp blade, stabbing the good flesh on her body to blood.
Not to mention the frustration in the business field for the time being, when Cheng Sanniang returned to Yufu in embarrassment, she found that Yu's father-in-law was followed by a maid, who was not young, and her facial features could not be said to stand out.
Although Cheng Sanniang is extremely disgusted with Father-in-law Yu, what belongs to her must not be taken away by others, whether it is a private house or a man, it is no exception.
Recently, Father-in-law Yu has suffered from the wind and cold, and Fangcao has taken care of him day and night, and the tired whole person has taken off his face, so he naturally has no time to take care of Cheng Sanniang's thoughts.
On this day, she went to the kitchen to bring a medicine bowl, and walked to the edge of the pond, but she didn't know what was going on, her feet slipped, and she fell straight forward, and the ice was not very strong, and she was smashed like this, and a hole was opened when she landed, and the figure was completely engulfed.
Over the years, Rong Xi has followed Cheng Sanniang's side, although he has also done a lot of evil things, but it is the first time he has done murder, and he can't help but be a little frightened at the moment, and he ran away quickly.
She left with her front foot, and a guard with water on her back foot jumped into the ice cave, rescued Fangcao, who had passed out from freezing, and specially invited a doctor to treat her, which saved her life.
When Father-in-law Yu learned about this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he was so careful that he sent people to the maid's side, otherwise this good girl, I am afraid that she will go to see the king of Hades today, and the Cheng family is really vicious.
Regardless of the feeling of dizziness, he dragged the sick body to the wing, and when he saw Fangcao's frozen purple face, Father-in-law Yu only felt that an evil fire burned in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed straight to Cheng Sanniang's bedroom, grabbed the woman's collar, and slapped her backhand.
When Rong Xi saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. Seeing that Father-in-law Yu had long lost his life, he had been pampered for many years, but he was a man after all, and his strength was much greater than that of the maid, so he pushed Rongxi away and roared, "Cheng, did you do it?" โ
Cheng Sanniang has never suffered such a big loss, at this moment, her head is still buzzing, and her cheeks are swollen so much, there is no difference from a pig's head.
With a mouthful of blood foam, she said angrily, "What if I did it? It's just a maid, and she dares to use those inferior methods, isn't she dead? Another day, the hooves will be sold to the hook bar, and it will save the money to stay in the house to make trouble! โ
Father-in-law Yu is not a good person in nature, but he wants to protect Fangcao and can't tolerate others harming her, Cheng Sanniang is so vicious, it is better to take the opportunity to solve it, and it is better to get into trouble every day.
"Fangcao is a servant hired by the government, not a death contract, you instigated the maid to harm people's lives, according to the laws of this dynasty, even if you don't die, you have to shed your skin." A trace of cruelty flashed in Gonggong Yu's eyes, and he raised his voice and said, "Come on, tie up the Cheng family and send it to the official mansion!" โ
It is said that the master beat the slave to death, which is not a new thing in the Dayu Dynasty, ordinary people take care of their faces, they dare not make a noise, and they can suppress the wind by giving the bitter master a few hundred taels of silver.
Cheng Sanniang only felt that there was something wrong with her ears, her eyes were round, and she scolded loudly, "The surname Yu, you are crazy, just a maid, is it really so important?" Do you want to put me to death? โ
Father-in-law Yu wanted to find a pleasing food and live a good life, but he didn't expect to be confused for a while, and he actually brought a scourge like Cheng Sanniang into the house.
