Chapter 120 Contradictions
"Ahem-" Mu Xiaochu's face turned slightly red and said, "Ziyan, I'm not a child anymore." That means I already know what is dangerous and what is not.
didn't think that Mu Xiaochu's words didn't get Qi Ziyan's approval.
I saw that his jet-black eyes were facing her eyes, with a thick worry and warning in his eyes, "If Xiao Chu walks around casually in the future, I don't promise what I will do in the future." ”
Mu Xiaochu: "!! "The baby is wronged, but the baby doesn't say.
Woo - dare not say......
However, this discovery allowed Mu Xiaochu to find a reason why the rouge made by Aunt Rouge did not sell well.
In the courtyard, Mu Xiaochu called Aunt Rouge and asked, "Aunt Rouge, I want to ask, where is the water used to make rouge taken from?" ”
Aunt Rou replied without thinking, "Where else can this be, isn't it in the creek near here, it's convenient." ”
Qi Ziyan on the side heard Mu Xiaochu's question, and then thought about what he saw before, and knew the purpose of Mu Xiaochu's question.
Mu Xiaochu, "Did the Rouge Lady ever suspect what caused the rouge to not sell?" ”
When Aunt Rou heard Mu Xiaochu's words, her face was slightly red, and she said in a stumbling tone: "I don't know this...... But...... The secret recipe of rouge is good, it is handed down from the ancestors, there is no problem. ”
The more Aunt Rouge spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she also knew that the rouge he made had not been bought well, "Master of the family, are you planning to discontinue the rouge?" ”
She asked cautiously, for fear that the answer she heard was that it was discontinued, although she also knew that this rouge didn't make much money now, but she believed that as long as it took a long time, rouge would definitely make money, it was just a matter of time......
Although this time has passed for ten years......
"How so." Mu Xiaochu said in an affirmative tone: "Although I haven't used the rouge made by the rouge, just by looking at the color, I know that this rouge itself is a good one, but what I want to say is, if the rouge can't be sold, will there be something wrong in the middle, such as water?" ”
"Water?" Aunt Yan thought of what Mu Xiaochu said was the water used in the process, but she still believed in her own judgment, and kept shaking her head to deny, "How come, the water source is what we deliberately went to find, and it won't be the water source." ”
Mu Xiaochu was not discouraged and then asked, "Then can Aunt Rouge take me to see the water source used to make rouge?" ”
She suspected that the water used to make rouge was connected to the underground of the volcanic spring, so if she used it to make rouge, if she used it for a long time, there would be problems with people's bodies.
It's not surprising that people who have used rouge don't have any special reactions, they just don't like it anymore, which shows that the harm of volcanic springs to the human body is not very great, otherwise they can stand it with the hundreds of bottles of rouge sold every year.
Qi Ziyan saw Aunt Rouge's reluctance, and said: "Just take a look, it's not something unsightly, if you find the problem of rouge, wouldn't it be good for everyone." ”
After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, Aunt Yan also gave up the struggle in her heart and took Mu Xiaochu away.
It's not that she doesn't respect Mu Xiaochu, it's just that she believes in herself too much and thinks it's unnecessary.
But despite her reluctance, they made their way to the water source used to make rouge.
"This is it." Aunt Rouge said.
Mu Xiaochu looked at the water beside her, her first feeling was that the water was too clear, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she bent down and picked up the water with her hand, put it to her nose and sniffed it carefully, and then licked it with her fingers, the taste was not very good, she quickly dispersed the water in her hand, and asked, "Where is the water used to make rouge?" ”
Mu Xiaochu intends to confirm it again.
Aunt Rouge nodded, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
Seeing Mu Xiaochu's expression, Aunt Rou didn't know the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, but it's not a big problem, as long as you change the water source to make rouge, the situation will be improved."
"......" Aunt Rouge, "Change the water source?" ”
Aunt Yan was puzzled, "It's not all the same water, why change it." ”
"The water here will be harmful to the body if it is used for a long time, but fortunately, there are not many people who use it, otherwise the harm will be great."
For the first time, Mu Xiaochu began to rejoice that the rouge here was not selling well.
"Ahh
Mu Xiaochu nodded, and asked in a somewhat solemn tone, "I still want to ask, do you usually drink the water here?" ”
"No, because the water here is very good, everyone is reluctant to use it, so the water used for drinking and cooking is usually taken from another stream of water."
"Take me to that water." If this is the case, then they may have a slight poisoning in their body and should come to a doctor.
That's right, the water that has been used for rouge contains similar substances to the volcanic spring, probably because they have a place underground to figure it out, but there are not many, so the amount of toxic substances here is not large.
And Mu Xiaochu's guess was also confirmed by Qi Ziyan the next day.
Let's not talk about that.
Half an hour later, the group came to another place where they often drank water.
Mu Xiaochu tried it in the same way, "The water here is non-toxic at the moment, but I don't know the specifics, so I suggest that you find a doctor to come and check your body later." ”
"It's so serious, don't you want to check your body?" Confusion flashed in the eyes of Aunt Rou.
"I don't know if you have noticed that although the water used for rouge is clear, there is not even a single fish, on the contrary, although the water of this stream is not very clear, there are still traces of fish."
Regarding everyone's next doubts, Mu Xiaochu didn't explain much, but directly called the doctor.
While waiting for the doctor, Qi Ziyan pulled Mu Xiaochu to a place where no one was around, and said helplessly: "Didn't you promise me just now that I would stop doing things recklessly, and taste the water that might be problematic in the next second, what should I say to you." ”
Mu Xiaochu shrank weakly, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it okay for me." ”
"Yes, it's okay this time, but next time, are the people I raised all decorations, and you need to do everything yourself." Qi Ziyan said in a salty tone, for a long time, he sighed, "I only have you, can you think about me before doing things in the future." ”
Whether it's the position of regent who is now jealous, or the position of the prince, it is not as important as you.
However, there are many differences between the previous life and the present, for example, in the previous life, Xiao Chu, who was just an unfavored concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, has become the head of a famous family in the capital now.
Mu Xiaochu looked up at him, his eyes were firm, "Ziyan, you should believe me." ”
Qi Ziyan looked at Mu Xiaochu like this, and lost his mind for a moment, he wanted to say, 'I don't care about your status, and I don't care if you have the ability, as long as you are by my side.' ’
But he couldn't, let go of the clenched fist under him, and let her head rest on his chest with a big hand, and said after a long time: "Okay, but even if you don't know anything, I will always be by your side." ”
"Hmm."
Now Mu Xiaochu is like a tiger who was in a hurry to prove himself not long after she was born, but before the tiger could do anything, she was protected by a lion who had coveted her for a long time.
Although the comfortable life is good, the growth of the little tiger in the future has suffered a lot.
But how many tigers die at birth?
Here, Aunt Rou, they finally waited for the doctor.
About half an hour later, the doctor checked and said that everyone had a slight tendency to be poisoned, but fortunately, it was not very serious, and it was good to prescribe a few more pairs of medicines for a few more days.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they knew it was okay.
After a long time, Mu Xiaochu asked, "Aunt Rouge, do you want to see more people come to buy the rouge you made?" ”
"Naturally, I thought about it, but ......"
"Actually, the rouge made by the rouge lady is very beautiful, and there are many types of colors, and it looks good on the face." When she was waiting for the doctor, she tried it on her face, and it was really beautiful, but when she thought of the ingredients in the rouge, she only rubbed it off for a while.
It's not too harmful to the body.
Aunt Rouge was a little shy and said: "It's not as good as the head of the family said, it's a little better than the average rouge." Although she is very confident in the rouge she makes, she still has to keep a low profile, after all, they didn't make much money from rouge in the first ten years.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mu Xiaochu said: "Since this is the case, then I suggest that you change the place to make rouge." ”
"......" Rouge Lady, "Change places?" ”
It was clearly said that it was a water change before, but this time it is said to be a change of place, which is much more serious than the previous one.
But despite this, her tone was not as strong as before, after all, in addition to the identity of the head of the family, she had just saved the lives of all of them.
Mu Xiaochu nodded, and took the hot railway: "Presumably, Aunt Rouge also knows that the water here contains toxins, and after people take it for a long time, it is harmful to the body." ”
"But didn't the doctor say that he would be fine after taking the medicine?"
Mu Xiaochu, "......"
Just when she was about to say something, she only listened to the other people's gossip.
"That's right, the doctor said it's okay, why do you have to leave."
"yes, I've lived here for almost ten years, and I don't want to leave."
"Master of the house, do you have to leave, can't you not leave? Could it be that the owner of the house can't get used to the rouge shop and wants to get rid of us at a loss?! ”
"No, we've all lived here for so long, how can the head of the family let us leave casually, anyway, I don't agree."
"That's it, this is my home, and I won't leave if I am killed."
"Isn't the head of the family just taking office and planning to take us under the knife?"
……
In short, there are more and more people who say it, and the words spoken are becoming more and more unpleasant, Mu Xiaochu's face changed from surprise at the beginning to ridicule at the end, his body was trembling, and the words he wanted to say many times stopped because of what the Great Elder said before.
Qi Ziyan's face on the side became darker and darker, looking at the more and more excessive crowds, he no longer had a good temper, "Enough!" ”
The sound stopped instantly.
Qi Ziyan's eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as winter, "Since everyone is so reluctant to leave, let's stay here, it's just a rouge shop after all, if you abandon it, you will abandon it!" ”
Then his face softened, and he took Mu Xiaochu's hand and was about to leave, "Let's go, such a person is not worthy of your care, if you want, I can open ten or eight rouge shops for you in the capital!" ”
Originally, he didn't want Mu Xiaochu to take care of so much, but now it's good that he has a legitimate reason to leave.
