Chapter 482: Living Signboard
The rest of the cards are thin sheets of iron plated with bronze, silver, and gold. The ornamentation on it is also different, the bronze is the auspicious cloud pattern, the silver is the appearance of the unicorn beast, and the gold membership card is the appearance of the red bird spreading its wings.
Yu Xiaocao gave He Wanning and Yuan Xueyan a membership card that shimmered with a bright silver light, which was in the form of a relief, a sparkling big diamond, which stood out from it.
Yuan Xueyan reads a lot of books on weekdays, but she has never seen an introduction to this material from any book. Diamond cards are very hard and tough enough. She looked at the membership card repeatedly, her face was solemn, and she muttered: "This material, if it is used in weapons......
Yu Xiaocao smiled heartlessly: "Sister Yuan, you want to go with King Yangjun." This alloy is obtained by chance in smelting, and the amount is not much. There is nothing left other than making membership cards. However, King Yangjun had already invited the blacksmith to the smelting workshop under the Ministry of Industry, and worked day and night with those craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry to develop it, hoping to determine the smelting method as soon as possible and make sharper weapons. ”
Yuan Xueyan's eyes flashed slightly: It is said that the king of Yangjun is not doing his job, and it is difficult to become a big tool. Today, it seems that he still has some political vision. The emperor is not wrong, maybe he will be a dark horse in the circle of magnates in Beijing, a capable minister under the seat of the Son of Heaven!
He Wanning played with the membership card in her hand for a while with great interest, and suddenly said very solemnly: "Sister Xiaocao, in fact, I have something to ask for this time. ”
"Sister He is too polite, as long as I can help, I can't give up." Yu Xiaocao saw that she was serious, and she was also serious.
"Actually, this matter, a girl in my boudoir told you, it is indeed a little inappropriate. However, I knew that my sister was not that kind of worldly person, so I cheekily came to the door and begged you. He Wanning paused, lowered his voice, and asked softly, "I heard...... Mrs. Fang's beloved son, who ate the prescription you prescribed, was pregnant? ”
Yu Xiaocao understood what she meant, she came to Beijing for half a year, and she was not a person who stayed at home, so naturally some of the movements and gossip in Beijing had been heard a little. After the eldest princess married the concubine, the heirs have always been thin, and there are only He Wanning's father and an aunt who died early. He Wanning's father only has He Wanning's eldest brother and her two children.
In He Wanning's eldest brother's generation, he has been married for three years, but he has not seen the birth of his grandson's children for a long time. He Wanning's eldest brother and sister-in-law have a very good relationship, and they grew up together. But for the sake of the heir, He Wanning's sister-in-law reluctantly opened the face of a girl next to her and made a room for her husband.
This girl is also considered to be angry, she was pregnant not long after she opened her face, and she was pregnant in October, and gave birth to her eldest daughter. But since the birth of the eldest daughter, whether it is a wife or a concubine, there has been no movement in the belly.
He Wanning's sister-in-law is also a virtuous person, and she has taken a few concubines to her husband, but for more than a year, everyone is angry. In the palace of the eldest princess, there is no third-generation heir, which has become a big concern for the whole family.
As early as Mrs. Fang's old mussel gave birth to a pearl and gave birth to Lin'er, the eldest princess asked her daughter-in-law to visit her to ask for the secret recipe for giving birth. Mrs. Fang didn't have any secret recipes, she just said that her goddaughter helped to recuperate. At that time, Yu Xiaocao was far away in Dongshan Village, and although Princess Taichang had the intention of coming to the door to ask for a prescription, she was cautious and did not come to the door rashly.
Hearing the little granddaughter accidentally say that she had a good relationship with General Fang's goddaughter, the eldest princess started to ask for medicine again. He Wanning is seven or eight years old apart from her eldest brother, she grew up behind her brother's buttocks, and her eldest brother's pampering and tolerance are also one of the reasons why she is arrogant and arrogant. However, she only makes a temperament to people who don't look down on her, and her popularity is not bad. I heard that I wanted to give birth to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, of course, He Wanning was duty-bound, took the heavy burden, and came over to explore the way first.
Yu Xiaocao knew that she was asking for her brother and sister-in-law, so she said: "I read it in an ancient book, saying that everyone who is infertile may not have the same reason. Just like my godfather and godmother, it was because of the old injuries and dark diseases on the battlefield that my godfather affected my fertility. After adjusting his injuries, it will be solved naturally. ”
If she responds and says that she can cure her, He Wanning may not believe it, hearing her say this, it makes a lot of sense, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said: "Sister Xiaocao may have heard about my family, my eldest brother is twenty-five years old this year, and he has been married for almost eight years, and he has never had an heir under his knees." A fortune teller said that the heirs of our He family are thin and cannot be forced. But I don't believe in evil, I heard that my sister's little brother was born when Mrs. Fang was forty years old. Before that, it had always been my sister who helped to recuperate. That's why I took the liberty to ask for it! ”
Yu Xiaocao pondered for a moment and said, "Don't hide it, my medical skills are semi-self-taught, so naturally I can't compare with the imperial doctors in the palace and the medical masters of the people." At most, I will guide more remedies than them, if Sister He's family doesn't dislike it, I'll come to help Brother Ling and sister-in-law take a look another day? ”
"Don't dislike it! How can you dislike it? Can't ask for it!! "You must know that in order to show his favor to General Fang, the emperor not only poured the power of the imperial doctor in the palace to help him heal, but also asked for famous doctors from all over the world, but he returned in vain. When everyone was desperate, a few months after Mrs. Fang went to Dongshan Village, the good news came, and soon she gave birth to a healthy and lively Lin'er. According to the couple, this is exactly what they did to their goddaughter.
He Wanning successfully completed the task assigned by her grandmother, and got a five-fold diamond card, she was in a good mood, and after eating a few pieces of honey cake, she saw that the Yu family was busy and was moving into a new home, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and said: "My sister just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and she shouldn't have come to the door today to make trouble." Sister Yuan and I won't delay you in cleaning up the house, and we will definitely come to the door to warm my sister's stove another day! ”
"My own sisters, why be polite." Yu Xiaocao also had the heart to befriend the Taichang Princess's Mansion, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will go to Huangzhuang to see the growth of crops and greenhouses, the day after tomorrow, I will come to the door to greet the Taichang Princess the day after tomorrow." ”
He Wanning gratefully took Xiaocao's hand and said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow, we will definitely sweep the couch to greet each other." ”
Yuan Xueyan was completely pulled by He Wanning and accompanied her, and she also got up at this time and said: "The girl who makes gouache is almost ready to get started." Are you going to open your shop before the year, or after the year? If it was a year ago, I'm afraid time was a little short. ”
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while and said: "It's only a dozen days before the Chinese New Year, and the former Taishi Mansion is being rebuilt, and it is estimated that it will not be able to open the year before last." But it's okay, our skin care business doesn't need to join in the excitement of the New Year's Festival. As long as the effect is good, there is no worry that the business will not prosper. ”
"I already have a preliminary idea of the skin care cream you mentioned, and I have tried it a few times, and it is estimated that it will be almost finished after the year. How's your cleansing balm and lotion going? Yuan Xueyan looked cold, focused on something in her heart, and she would go all out.
"We still have two brushes in Hechun, and the cleansing cream and skin lotion have been made, and they are being tried, and the response is not bad. Two sisters, do you want to bring some back to try? ”
Yu Xiaocao didn't expect to go back to Dongshan Village, He Chun, this girl has already made the cleansing cream and skin care water she proposed, she washed her face with the cleansing cream today, it is quite clean, but the taste is fresher, it will be more perfect. The little girl listened to her opinion, and went into the back cover room again to get busy.
This time I bought a girl, and I was lucky to meet the shopkeeper and production lady of a bankrupt fat powder shop, and He Chun took the lead and bought everyone. Now this girl has six helpers under her, and she is like a little steward. Those female workers, in order to show their faces in front of the new master, also made full efforts to help He Chun make suggestions. The reason why cleansing creams and lotions came out so quickly is inseparable from their efforts.
Yu Xiaocao was very satisfied with these people, and decided that once the trial was qualified, one person would be rewarded with a silver ingot, and more rewards would be given during the New Year.
He Wanning took the ceramic jar the size of a baby's fist, and when she opened it, there was a pale yellow paste-like object inside, sniffed it gently, and said in surprise: "A milky fragrance, could it be that there are several kinds of cleansing balm?" ”
"Yes, there are four kinds of preliminarily set, namely 'whitening', 'moisturizing', 'acne' and 'anti-wrinkle', and the same is true for skin care lotions. Sister Yuan, after your alabaster is successfully developed, we will also make it into the same series, and the effect will be better. Yu Xiaocao pointed to the small jar in He Wanning's hand and continued, "Sister He, what you have in your hand is the whitening and moisturizing effect. Sister Yuan's hand is a moisturizing and moisturizing series. ”
He Wanning smacked her lips and said a little embarrassedly: "You all worked hard for the beauty and health club, but I got a diamond card for nothing...... Why don't you change it to a gold card for me? ”
"Who says you can't help? Your task now is to honestly use our products to whiten and tender your skin, and when the time comes, you will be our living advertisement. At the beginning of spring, you initiate a few more gatherings to let the ladies in Beijing see your changes, this is your contribution! Yu Xiaocao looked at her much more delicate little face, thinking that there were still three or four months before the beginning of spring, and when the time came, she would raise this wheat-colored little face to be white and tender, which was definitely a living signboard!
"Wow! I said why are you kind enough to give me the product to use, it turns out that you have such an idea! He Wanning pretended to be unhappy and pursed her mouth.
"If you're not happy, give me back the product. I remember the second lady of the Taifu family, her skin is a little yellow, maybe she is willing to improve her skin texture......" Yu Xiaocao deliberately stretched out her hand to take back the small jar.
