Chapter 35 Business Opportunities
After careful consideration, Mu Xi planned to tell the old lady the truth in private, so he frowned and said: "The eldest prince has a blocked brain and veins, resulting in a coma, I want to go to the street to buy medicinal materials in person, and I need to do it myself, so during the treatment of the eldest prince, please ask the old lady for permission, don't let anyone come to visit, if you want to visit, you must also get my consent, the old lady may agree?" ”
Old Madam Qin looked at Mu Xi sincerely and said, "The old body believes in you, and everything will be done according to what you say." ”
Turning his eyes to look at the grandmother beside him, he said, "Grandma Xu, you also heard what Miss Mu said, go and tell Steward Qin now, let him be sure to tell everyone in the mansion to know, if outsiders come to visit, they will all be stopped." ”
Mama Xu made a promise and went out to spread the word. Old Madam Qin took Mu Xi's hand and said, "You are not familiar with the place when you first come to the capital, I will arrange for Mama Xu and a few capable maids to accompany you out to buy medicinal materials, and at that time, if you have anything, just tell them." ”
Mu Xi bowed his head gratefully and said, "The old lady is thoughtful, Mu Xi is very thankful." ”
The more Old Madam Qin looked at Mu Xi, the more she liked it, and patted her hand with a smile and said, "You kid, you all said don't be so polite, just tell the old body if you have any needs." ”
Mu Xi smiled and nodded, and the group went out of Xuanhua Pavilion together and went back to the courtyard. Back in the heating pavilion, Mu Xi changed into a lake blue dress, covered with a smoke-colored light gauze coat and gown, did not deliberately dress up, did not apply grease powder or thrush, and simply went out of the yard.
In front of the courtyard gate, I met Mama Xu and the three maids, and the four of them hurriedly saluted, and Mama Xu smiled and said: "The old lady is afraid of delaying the girl's business, so she urges the old slave to come over quickly, and see that the girl is preparing to leave the house at this time?" ”
Mu Xi nodded and replied: "The eldest prince's condition needs to be treated as soon as possible, and the decoction also needs to be replaced, so the purchase of medicinal materials is imminent, and Mu Xi does not dare to slack off." ”
Seeing that she was serious, Mama Xu also looked down and said, "Since that's the case, don't delay, let's go to the street to buy medicinal materials." ”
With that, the group went out of the courtyard and went straight to the gate. As soon as he arrived in the front yard, he saw Steward Qin coming over, followed by a housekeeper, who was holding a tray in his hand, with a red silk cloth on it, and he couldn't see anything in the tray.
Steward Qin saw Mu Xi and his party, greeted him and said, "The old slave was planning to go to the heating pavilion, but I didn't expect the girl to come to the front yard, is the girl going out of the house?" ”
Mu Xi raised his forehead slightly and said, "Amber, Mu Xi wants to go out of the house to buy medicinal materials, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”
Steward Qin smiled and lifted the silk cloth on the tray, and there were neat silver ingots stacked in the tray, and the number was no less than a few hundred taels. He said: "The girl is polite, the old slave was ordered by the old lady to send the girl five hundred taels of silver, the old lady said, the capital is no better than other places, the girl should bring more silver when she goes out of the house, these silver, it should be used by the girl for emergency." ”
To tell the truth, when he left Yunxi City, Ye Fuyun gave five hundred taels of silver, and Mu Xi himself was penniless, and what he needed most at the moment was silver. Qin Muchen is responsible for the medicine he uses, and the old lady is also in order to treat Qin Muchen with peace of mind, which is reasonable, and Mu Xi naturally has no reason to refuse.
Mu Xi bent his knees slightly and said, "In this way, then it will be troublesome for Mu Xi to thank the old lady on behalf of Amber." ”
Turning his head to look at Chun Xing behind him, he said: "Xing'er, please take the silver, take out two hundred taels of labor and ask Mama Xu to help me keep it, and send the rest back to the heating pavilion to put it away, we will wait for you while walking, and you will go to the medicinal herb street shop to find me later." ”
Chunxing Fuli said: "No." ”
Out of the mansion, Mama Xu realized that she had forgotten to ask Steward Qin to prepare a carriage, and there was a distance from Qin's Mansion to Jinyang Street.
"Girl, wait a moment, the old slave will go and ask Amber to set you a carriage."
Mu Xi shook his head and said, "Mama, don't be busy, let's walk over, and by the way, let me get familiar with the environment." ”
Mama Xu said with a sad face: "However, you are a girl's family, which is unreasonable." ”
Mu Xi smiled slightly and said: "Mama, don't treat Mu Xi as a lady, I'm just a common person, I know a little about medical skills, and I came to the mansion to treat the eldest son, and I don't have such rules." ”
Mu Xi insisted on walking on foot, and Mama Xu didn't say much, so she had to follow her silently. Everywhere she went, Mu Xi would carefully ask, where the road leads, and what kind of distribution those places are, Mama Xu only thinks she is a girl's heart, and answers for her one by one to satisfy her curiosity, but this is not the case, Mu Xi inquired about these just to be more convenient in the future.
When they arrived at Jinyang Street, the group went straight to the medicinal herb shop, and Mama Xu and the three maidservants were familiar with the medicinal herb shop, and took her to the famous Tongjitang medicinal herb shop on Jinyang Street.
Tongjitang is divided into two floors upstairs and downstairs, the downstairs lobby is very spacious, the entrance is directly in front of the counter, behind the counter is a cabinet, the same as in the play, a small drawer, the drawer panel is pasted with a strip of cloth, and the name of the medicinal herb is marked in small block letters on it, and the whole counter is orderly, refreshing and refreshing, and it looks very comfortable.
There are several chairs on the left and right, a few bonsai, elegant and pleasant, and the space on the first floor is not generally empty.
The shopkeeper in the counter saw a young lady and a few grandmothers coming to the door, and hurriedly walked out of the counter to greet him. Looking at the little lady's appearance, although the dress is simple, there are several people around her, and it must not be easy to come to the identity.
The shopkeeper bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know if Miss wants to buy supplements or plasters for beauty when she comes?" ”
Mu Xi raised his eyebrows, people in this time and space still know how to make plasters for beauty? couldn't help but be interested at the moment, and said, "The store might as well take out the high-quality beauty plaster in the shop and let the little woman take a look?" ”
The shopkeeper said: Hey, business is coming.
He hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, Miss, sit next to you and wait, the villain will fetch it for you." ”
As he spoke, he turned back to the counter, opened the drawer, took out a boxy mahogany box, and happily returned to Mu Xi's side and introduced: "This is the Cui family's new product this year, Baihua Yulu cream, Miss Baozhun uses her skin to be whiter and smoother." ”
Mu Xi took the box from the shopkeeper's hand and looked at it, frowning slightly, if it was really high-quality, such an appearance would be a bit vulgar, and he looked up and asked, "Shop, can the little woman open it and take a look?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "This was originally for the guests to try, make sure you like it, just that fragrance, all the guests who smell it don't like it, my store is about to run out of stock." ”
Mu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, unceremoniously opened the box, and Xu Mama couldn't help but praise: "Oh, this fragrance is really good, I'm afraid the young ladies in our house don't know that there is such a new product coming out, and I haven't seen anyone use it." ”
The shopkeeper stroked his short beard a little proudly, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from your guests, this white flower jade dew paste is extremely rare, a box costs a hundred taels of silver, even if it is the leading rich Qin family, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to use it for a long time." I heard that the Cui family dedicated a group of nobles to the palace, which was praised by the nobles, and even His Majesty now attaches great importance to the Cui family. ”
