Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

It is said that in the past, Mrs. Zhao stayed in Rong'an Fang, and no one dared to make trouble, but in the past few days, Mrs. Zhao has a cold, and she coughs very badly every day, and she can't do work in the shop at all.

Pan'er was wearing a concubine-colored skirt, her facial features were delicate and gorgeous, her skin and flesh were as smooth as snow, and she was accompanied by many guards, so she was obviously not an ordinary person.

The man rolling all over the ground didn't recognize Pan'er as the owner of Rong'an Fang, but when he saw this rare beauty in front of him, he hurriedly climbed forward, grabbed Pan'er's feet with his muddy palm, and howled in his mouth: "Please help Madame help the little one, ask this black shop for justice!" ”

The man held Pan'er's ankle, and even intensified his desire to touch his calf, Luan Yu was not a vegetarian, so he kicked directly on the person's chest and spat: "You are shameless, how can you touch my wife?" ”

After being kicked to the heart's content, the thin man collapsed to the ground in an instant, and let out a pig-killing howl from his mouth, which pierced people's ears and hurt.

Glancing down at the sludge on the embroidered shoes, Pan'er couldn't help but tighten her brows, and said in a low voice to Ge Zhichuan: "Mr. Ge, please check his pulse to see if this person is really sick or pretending to be sick." ”

Ge Zhichuan nodded, lifted his robe and squatted on the ground, and grabbed the man's pulse, the man still wanted to struggle, but was held down by the two guards, and the whole person was like a puddle of dead meat, unable to move.

After taking the pulse, Ge Zhichuan patted the plaster on his hand and said bluntly: "There is nothing wrong with this person at all." ”

The man said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you bad old man, I just drank the medicinal wine in Rong'an Fang to get into trouble."

Walking up to the man, Pan'er snorted meaninglessly: "What's your name?" ”

Seeing the beauty approaching, the man's eyes showed a hint of lewdness. Filthy, he said: "Lao Tzu's name is Xu San." ”

"Xu San is right? You said that you drank the medicinal wine in Rong'an Fang, and your abdominal pain was like a twist, so which one did you drink? After all, there are more than a dozen different kinds of drinks in the shop, so you can't have problems with everything, right? ”

Although it is not appropriate to judge people by their appearance, Pan'er looked at Xu San's appearance and bearing, and felt that he really did not look like a person who could afford to drink medicinal wine, after all, medicinal wine such as snow lotus wine and ginseng wine, a small cup can be sold for one or two silver, and ordinary people can only smell the aroma of wine when they enter the store to buy pickles.

Xu San stiffened his neck, his eyes dodged, and shouted: "Snow Lotus Wine!" ”

Snow Lotus wine was sold in the Yunlai Building in the border city at the beginning, Pan'er brewed a lot, and the rest of the wine was sent back to the capital with the convoy, because there are not many high-quality snow lotus in Beijing, as early as a month ago, all the snow lotus wine was sold clean, this Xu San didn't know whether it was really stupid or fake stupid, casually said a famous medicinal wine, just want to come to Rong'an Fang to make trouble, it is really bold.

A pair of watery apricot eyes were full of ridicule, and Pan'er chuckled: "Are you sure it's snow lotus wine?" ”

Xu San was a little uncertain in his heart, but thinking about the reputation of Snow Lotus Wine outside, it must be the best medicinal wine sold in Rong'an Fang, and it was right to say that this kind of wine was right, he was heartbroken, and gritted his teeth and said: "It's Snow Lotus Wine!" ”

"Xu San, before you came to my Rong'anfang to make trouble, didn't you inquire, the last bottle of Snow Lotus Wine was sold out a month ago, where did you get the Snow Lotus wine, tell me about it?"

The little woman showed a sweet smile on her face, but this smile never reached the bottom of her eyes, only to see the cold light flashing in Pan'er's apricot eyes, and the evil aura made Xu San couldn't help but shudder, he heard earlier that the boss behind the scenes of Rong'an Fang was the wife of General Dingbei, could it be that this delicate beauty in front of him was the general's wife?

Complaining again and again in his heart, Xu San supported the ground with both hands, and hurriedly got up, and his movements were so neat.

Seeing that this person was about to run, Pan'er commanded the guards beside him, these young men were strong and strong, but they were many times stronger than Xu San, who was thin and had no two taels of flesh, and this person didn't even have a chance to struggle, so he was pressed to the ground, his cheeks were tightly pressed against the bluestone slab, and he was scraped red by the dirt and gravel on it.

Walking in front of Xu San, Pan'er squatted down, with obvious sarcasm in her eyes.

"If you really have abdominal pain, where can you be so flexible? Since you have the courage to rush to the gate of Rong'anfang to make trouble, don't blame Mrs. Ben for turning her face. When she said this, Pan'er still had a faint smile on her face, and with her gorgeous facial features, the whole person was so eye-catching.

"Come on, send Xu San to the government!"

The two guards escorted Xu San away directly, and Pan'er saw that the matter was resolved, and was just about to return to the carriage, but heard a clear voice.

"Madame, stay."

Pan'er paused, turned her head, and looked at the man who spoke with doubts in her apricot eyes.

This man looks really young, only in his early twenties, wearing a lake-blue robe, with deep facial features, but he looks quite handsome, Pan'er thought about it carefully, and he doesn't remember that he knows this person.

The man stepped forward and arched his hand at Pan'er, and a thin flush appeared on Qingjun's face: "Madame, I'm afraid I don't remember Ning, Ning was broken in the border city, and he could only make a living by writing letters for others, but it was Mrs. who gave the money to let Ning keep that leg." ”

Hearing this, Pan'er remembered this, when she had just arrived in the border city, she once walked around the street and saw a thin scholar, dragging a broken leg, helping people write letters on the street. She felt that the man was very pitiful, and it happened that there was still some loose silver left in the purse, so she gave it directly to the scholar, but she didn't expect to meet it in the capital.

Glancing at Ning Chuan's legs, Pan'er smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, Ning Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart, if there is something at home, he will leave first." ”

After speaking, Pan'er got into the carriage directly, and when the curtain was closed and the beautiful little face could not be seen at all, the smile on Ning Chuan's face slowly faded.

The little guy behind him stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Childe, that is the lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion just now, if you want to thank you, you can directly backup the generous gift and send it to the Hou Mansion." ”

"You know what?" Ning Chuan waved his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

At the beginning, he was framed by his younger brother and exiled to the border city, penniless, and broke a leg, if he didn't have the ten taels of silver that Pan'er gave him, whether he could get through that period of time safely or two, and finally returned to the capital, Ning Chuan solved all the younger brothers and aunts, but that beautiful shadow kept appearing in his mind, even if he already knew that Lin Pan'er was a wife, he still moved his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

After she returned to the Hou Mansion, she asked the mother-in-law in the kitchen to continue to marinate the fish sauce, and after making the sauce, she sent it to Rong'an Fang and Chen's Restaurant respectively.

Everything sold in Rong'an Fang is not available in other houses, although there are not a few shops making sauces in the capital, but these merchants are not like Pan'er, there is a magical spiritual spring hidden in the center of the eyebrows, with this spiritual spring water, not only the taste of the ingredients itself has been greatly improved, if you eat more of this kind of food rich in spiritual energy, the body will be far healthier than before.

These days, I have been soaking the ore with spiritual spring water one after another, in addition to the gold essence stone and cinnabar stone, Chu Liang got a box of round pearls from nowhere, the color of these pearls is not bad, the texture is smooth and round, but because it has been put for a little longer, the beads are slightly yellow.

Pan'er put the pearl in the wooden basin, poured some mountain springs into it, and then added a lot of spiritual springs, soaked for three days, the dark yellow surface of the pearl became much smoother and whiter, and even had a faint pink halo, the beads were much smaller than before, although it was pleasing to the eye, but the price was not too high.

At the moment, she was thinking about how to dispose of everything, and finally Ge Zhichuan helped her think of an idea, grinding the beads into fine powder and mixing them with spices and herbs.

Pan'er also wore a sachet with pearl powder, I don't know if it was her delusion, after wearing this sachet, she did feel much more stable when she slept at night.

Recently, there is a new trick in the capital, whether it is a young or old woman, are willing to hang a sachet on the waist, the workmanship of the sachet is really exquisite, please be the best embroiderer in the capital, embroider the pattern of herbs, wear it on the waist, it is not only good-looking, but also can play a role in beauty and calming the nerves.

Because there is a lot of pearl powder in the sachet, the price is not low, such a small thing, it costs five taels of silver, fortunately, most of the ladies in the capital have recognized Rong'an Fang. For those Miss Jiao who spent a lot of money, five taels of silver was nothing at all, and some of them fell in love with the patterns of those herbs, and they bought four or five in a row.

Geng Yuxiu is the embroidery lady of the splendid building, she embroiders exquisitely, is good at Suzhou embroidery, embroiders some large ornaments every month, can earn dozens of taels of silver, but the embroidery is too hurtful to hurt the body and eyes, every night has to face the oil lamp, carefully trace the pattern, thread the needle, can not relax for a moment.

The first two years of marriage were better, she had never conceived a child, and her energy could keep up, but since she gave birth to a daughter, the whole person is not as good as before, she can't sleep all night, she doesn't rest well at night, and she can't keep up her energy during the day.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of places to use money at home, embroidery hurt her body like this, Geng Yuxiu said that she didn't want to do anything, but it was a pity that she couldn't throw away such a lucrative job now, so she could only forcibly endure it.

Rong Anfang asked for a batch of sachets, most of which were from Geng Yuxiu's hands, she put the prepared medicine powder in the sachet according to the maid's explanation, and carefully tightened the seal to prevent the grinding very fine medicine powder from leaking out.

It is said that these medicinal powders have the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the skin, although Geng Yuxiu has heard the name of Rong'anfang, but he does not know whether this medicinal powder is true or false.

The sky was dark, Geng Yuxiu made a full twenty sachets today, smelling the aroma of the medicinal powder, she couldn't help yawning, packed up the embroidery objects, put them in the embroidery basket, she hastily washed her face, and went to bed to rest.

This sleep, I slept directly until dawn.

Geng Yuxiu was woken up by the sound of chickens in the yard, and when she saw the bright sparkling outside, the woman's pale face couldn't help but show a deep sense of surprise.

Not to mention the distance, the night before yesterday she tossed and turned for half a night, without a little sleep, how could she have thought that she fell asleep so smoothly last night, is that sachet really useful?

With this thought, Geng Yuxiu made a whole day of sachets, and tonight, when she reached the time, she felt a little tired, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep groggy.

Probably due to the overwork in the past few years, the effect of the sachet is extremely obvious on Geng Yuxiu, knowing that this sachet is a good thing, after she has made all the two hundred sachets, she gritted her teeth and directly bought a royal blue sachet.

The sachet is filled with medicinal powder, which must not be washed, and the royal blue is very resistant to dirt, even if it is worn close to the body on weekdays, and it rubs a lot of dust, it can be used for a while. Geng Yuxiu is used to being thrifty, and this small sachet is already the most expensive item she has bought this year, so she naturally has to take good care of it.

Hanging the sachet on her body, after wearing it for a whole month, Geng Yuxiu's face was not as pale as before, and she was plump a lot.

Zhou's face was full of surprise, he walked to Geng Yuxiu's side in a few steps, and hurriedly asked: "Xiuniang, what good things have you used recently, how many years younger, did you smear the fat powder that Persia transported to the capital?" ”

Geng Yuxiu smiled and explained, "Where did you smear what fat powder?" I've heard that the fat powder sent from Persia has a lot of lead poison in it, how dare I use that? ”

Zhou didn't let her get by, pulled Geng Yuxiu's slender wrist, and asked reluctantly: "Then how did you become like this, and teach me ......."

There was no way to be entangled by the Zhou family, Geng Yuxiu could only take off the sachet hanging from his waist, put it in the palm of his hand, and said: "This is the sachet sold in Rong'an Fang, I heard that there are a lot of medicinal materials that soothe the nerves and nourish the face. ”

Hearing this, Zhou picked up the sachet, put it in his nose and sniffed it gently, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread, with a not too strong bitter taste, which is indeed very good.

Returning the sachet to Geng Yuxiu, Zhou's chubby face couldn't help but show a little hesitation: "Five taels of silver... That's not a small amount..."

Geng Yuxiu and Zhou's acquaintance years are not short, so they naturally know what kind of character this woman is. At this moment, I couldn't help but glance at her: "Our embroidery is a work that hurts the gods, if you don't treat yourself better and raise your body and bones, what's the use of the silver you earn?" I earn dozens of taels a month, all for my husband to study, even so, just because I gave birth to a daughter, my mother-in-law has to give her husband a concubine... Who can be nice to you but yourself? ”

Zhou was originally reluctant to buy five taels of silver for a sachet, but after listening to Geng Yuxiu's words, the man in the family who was asking for a concubine appeared in her mind, and her face couldn't help showing resentment: "That bastard thinks about beauty, spending the money we earned, and even wants to use this money to raise a woman, it's really shameless!" ”

After saying goodbye, Zhou didn't stay in the Splendid Building any longer, and after saying goodbye to Geng Yuxiu, he went straight to Rong'an Fang and bought a sachet.

The box of pearls soaked in the spiritual spring water was made into a total of 500 sachets, and it was sold out in less than two months.

At first, the sachets sold a little slowly, but later, everyone realized the miraculous effect of the sachets and bought a lot of them. Two months later, some guests heard about the name of the sachet and went to Rong'an Fang to buy one, but they didn't know when the shop was out of stock, and they didn't know when they would be able to make it up.

After removing the cost, he made this batch of sachets, and made a net profit of two thousand taels of snowflake silver, a full four times the profit, which really surprised Pan'er. I don't know how many pearls in the capital are not good, these beads themselves are not bad, but the color and shape are not very good, most of the pearls are used to make jewelry, and the color is not good, and they can't be sold at a high price, and even those shops that sell jewelry are unwilling to buy, so they can only be smashed in their hands.

Tasting the sweetness of the sachet, Pan'er specially asked someone to write a notice and paste it on the outside of Rong An Fang, which was used to buy those pearls that had not been worn, were in good condition or in poor condition.

I don't know how many customers come in and out of the shop every day, and at first some people thought that the boss of Rong'an Fang had something wrong with his head, otherwise what would normal people do with those pearls with poor color? After reading the notice, some people came to try their luck, but they didn't expect that the yellow beads in their hands were actually bought, although they couldn't exchange much money, but it was better than pressing under the box and wasting them in vain.

After the pearls were almost done, Pan'er continued to soak the beads with spiritual spring water, and the soaked pearls were all shiny, and there was no fault with the color, even Ge Zhichuan came to the main courtyard from time to time, grabbed a few from the basin containing the pearls, and used them to dispense medicine, and the pills made were much more effective than before.

In order to grind pearls and medicinal herbs into fine powder, Pan'er specially asked people to put a stone mill in the wing room of the main courtyard, and the stone mill was covered with fine silk and satin.

Taking advantage of Chu Liang's absence from the camp in the north of the city today, Pan'er called him to the wing, she held the beads in her hand to wipe the water, put them in the stone mill, and mouthed Nunu, the tall man in front of her, her little face was full of cunning, and her voice was delicate:

"Push it."
