Chapter Seventy-Eight: Beauty Prescriptions
After placing Mama Chen, Xiao Ruyu sat in the house and thought about what had happened in the past few days. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Cai Wei to call in the two sisters that Zhang Ruxue was going to buy that day.
Soon, both sisters walked in. My sister looks very good, her face is ruddy, her steps are light, her expression is relaxed, and she seems to be doing well. Although my sister's face is a little pale, she looks very good, and her eyes are no longer dull, but full of wit.
"Is your sister's illness better?" Xiao Ruyu asked her sister.
"Thank you for your concern, my sister's illness has long been cured, and Dr. Ming said that she will be fine if she rests for a few more days." My sister bowed down again gratefully, and my sister hurriedly followed suit. Xiao Ruyu smiled and asked them to get up.
"What's your name?" I can't call my sister or sister.
"Please give the name of the eldest lady." Obviously, the teaching of the past few days has worked, my sister bowed her head and said. There was nothing unwillingness in her tone, and she seemed smooth and gentle.
"Let's talk about the original name first, and if you can, don't change it." Xiao Ruyu waved her hand, she really didn't care what her girl's name was, but don't be too ugly, in case there is a comparison with Sigui, then she will laugh.
"Slave Huang Poria, this is my sister Huang Amber" hesitated for a moment before Huang Poria said softly.
"Poria cocos and amber are both names of medicinal herbs, you are a family of medicine?" Xiao Ruyu asked curiously. According to their understanding of medicinal materials, they are definitely not from ordinary small families, at least they should sell medicines at home.
"I don't dare to say that the family, the slave's father is the owner of the Huang family pharmacy in the capital, Astragalus." Speaking of her father, thinking of her father's tragic death, Huang Poria burst into tears, and Huang Amber choked up.
"Huang Family Pharmacy?" Xiao Ruyu thought about it for a while, as if he had the impression that when he asked Mingchun about the situation in the capital, he once said that in addition to Renhetang's big pharmacy, there were several relatively large pharmacies. The Huang Family Pharmacy is one of them. I heard that although the scale of this pharmacy is not large, the price of medicinal materials is much cheaper, and the quality is also good, and the people like it very much. It's a pity that the boss was later beheaded by the emperor. She also felt that it was a pity, if there really was such a pharmacy, she could discuss cooperation with him. She decided to fight with Renhetang in the first place, and it is particularly important to have such a pharmacy with a good reputation.
It turned out that this Huang family pharmacy belonged to these two sisters, but it's a pity that the original daughter of the eldest lady is now going to sell herself into slavery, but fortunately she bought them, in case it falls into the hands of Zhang Ren and that scumbag, it will be bad.
"I won't change your name, you are still called Poria, you are still called Amber, how can you have anything to do with Renhetang?" Xiao Ruyu felt strange, Astragalus was already dead, and there was no need to embarrass the two girls no matter how big the feud was, unless Zhang Renhe had other plans.
What could he want? For money? But everyone has been sold into slavery, and the shop must have been sold, where is there any money? Humanness? Zhang Renhe fell in love with two girls and wanted to marry them as concubines? I feel that this brain hole is a bit big, and I think Zhang Renhe is too scummy, so there should be no such possibility. If he really fell in love with two girls, he couldn't ask his daughter to help buy people. Let her daughter pimp herself, Xiao Ruyu really can't imagine how shameless Zhang Renhe is. Why, exactly? Is it for the cure?
"The slave maid does not hide from the girl, Zhang Renhe fell in love with several recipes of the slave maid's father, and always wanted to buy them, but the father refused to sell them, so he used means to recommend the slave maid's father to treat the prince. My father was beheaded by the emperor's anger, and he still didn't give up. I have been threatening the slave sister to tell him the recipe, otherwise we will sell the slave sister to a brothel. Whining. Speaking of sadness, the two sisters hugged their heads and cried.
"Okay, don't be too sad. You are safe now, and no one dares to harm you anymore, and Zhang Renhe is no exception. Xiao Ruyu comforted softly, she was not very good at comforting others, and she couldn't stand others crying, she wanted them to stop crying quickly, and her head would be big if she cried again.
"Fortunately, Miss saved our sisters, and the slave sisters swore that they would never betray Miss for the rest of their lives. Poria wiped away her tears and knelt down with her right hand raised, and Amber also knelt down and said in unison.
"I hope you do what you say." Xiao Ruyu nodded, these two sisters are smart people, although the gap from Miss to Yahuan is a bit big, but the two quickly recognized the situation, without the slightest reluctance, it can be seen that they really know the current affairs.
"What kind of recipe actually made Zhang Renhe so crazy?" Xiao Ruyu felt strange, she couldn't figure out the crazy thoughts of these people. For the sake of a Meng Qianluo, more than 150 people were killed, and for a recipe that didn't work or didn't work, they actually ruined people's families, these people are really crazy and greedy, like poisonous snakes that will attack at any time, which makes people shudder.
The Huang sisters glanced at each other and hesitated for a moment. Xiao Ruyu waved her hand indifferently: "Ao, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it, anyway, Miss Ben has a recipe." ”
"Miss, don't blame, our sisters swore in front of our father that we would not say these things in front of anyone." Speaking of this, she frowned, "I didn't mean to hide it from the eldest lady, it's really a bit yin damage in this way, my father said that people must not disclose yin virtue, so we won't talk about it." ”
"There is such a strange recipe? Is it not possible to ask for human blood and infant flesh? Xiao Ruyu said casually, but she didn't expect the two sisters to suddenly change their faces, and looked at Xiao Ruyu like ghosts, as if asking: How do you know?
It seems that it was said right, Xiao Ruyu's face was a little solemn, "What kind of disease does it need such a bad prescription to treat it?" "I remember reading an article by Mr. Lu Xun at the beginning, saying that the common people are superstitious that human blood steamed buns can cure tuberculosis, so some people go to the execution ground to buy human blood steamed buns, this recipe is even more powerful than this, is it said that it can cure any incurable diseases?
"It's a beautiful prescription that requires human blood, preferably virgin and infant blood. I heard that young girls use it, their faces don't age anymore, and older people use it, at least twenty years younger. Amber said coldly. Her face was heavy, and her eyes seemed to have a hint of hatred. Xiao Ruyu was speechless, it was impossible, it was even more powerful than plastic surgery, no wonder Zhang Renhe tried his best to get it. If it really works, this is the silver of white flowers.
"This recipe was accidentally discovered by one of our aunts from an ancestral recipe, and she put the blood of our little brother for the sake of beauty. My little brother died of blood loss, and my mother killed my aunt in grief and later committed suicide. Later, our father made us swear that we would never leak a word. Amber said it, and her voice was so sad that she forgot to call herself a slave.
"Please make sure that the eldest lady does not use this as a prescription for testing and promotion." Amber looked at Xiao Ruyu with a confused look, worried about her idea of playing the prescription, and fell to her knees with a snap, staring straight at Xiao Ruyu's eyes, as if Xiao Ruyu would die with her if she didn't swear.
"Ridiculous, what do you promise me?" Xiao Ruyu was unhappy. She could understand Amber and Poria for their father's last wish and the consequences of the remedies being spread were very serious, but they actually threatened her with this, did she seem so easy to talk to?
"Slaves and maids have nothing to guarantee, only their own lives. If the eldest lady can promise not to spread the word, she can take my sister's life at any time. "Poria doesn't have the gentle and graceful appearance she has always had at this time, and she looks very hard. She protected her sister behind her and looked like she was dying generously.
"A pair of solid-eyed fools." Xiao Ruyu scolded with a smile, she admired the toughness of the two sisters very much. Such people's loyalty is very rare, because once they are faithful, it lasts for a lifetime. Xiao Ruyu is not uncommon with their secret recipes for beauty, there are no secret recipes in modern times, and they don't need such bloody things.
"Get up. The master agreed. Seeing that the two sisters were still kneeling there stupidly, Cai Wei reminded. She was scared enough just now, these two people dared to threaten their masters, they were really ignorant and fearless.
"The beautiful prescription?" Poria and Amber are stupid, they were ready to die just now to be loyal, and it was so easy to make sense, what's going on, doesn't the eldest lady need to be beautiful, or is it not rare to be young and beautiful?
"It's not uncommon, you should rot it in your hearts, remember that there will be no such recipe in the future. Miss Ben will give you another recipe, and you can memorize it, and if anyone asks about it in the future, you will take this recipe on top. Xiao Ruyu commanded. She didn't want such a harmful recipe to flow out, the father of the two sisters was right, this kind of recipe was too damaging to yin morality, it was better to ruin it.
"Thank you, Miss." The two sisters were only now completely relaxed and smiled.
"Follow Miss Ben well, Miss Ben swears that she will definitely get back what Zhang Renhe owes you." Xiao Ruyu said with great firmness and confidence.
The two sisters were overjoyed and fell to their knees again, although they did not know when the eldest lady would be able to fulfill this promise, they believed that there would be such a day.
