Chapter 45: Dowry

After Fenghua entered the hall, Qinge, who was originally sitting with a slight smile, left everyone, immediately stood up, and greeted her with disgust, "Why did you come?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Seeing this, the women touted the two one after another.

"Jin Lan has become a concubine, kissing and kissing, it's really enviable!"

"The sixth princess and the seventh princess are all fairy-like figures, it seems that Jiangnan raises people."

"Not really! When spring begins, I will also take my little girl to live in Jiangnan to see if I can touch the blessings of the two princesses. ”

......

Fenghua glanced around, everyone was smiling, only Chen Lingxiu sat with a cold face, looking at them with disdain.

Today is a good day, Fenghua doesn't care about her, but this hot scene makes her laugh out loud, it's really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

She clearly remembered that they were both foxes and buns before, but Chen Lingxiu was consistent, which was really rare.

However, she has never been good at socializing, and she never took the initiative to expose people's shortcomings, but only responded to the song: "I am here to give you a dowry, so naturally I have to prepare everything." ”

Dumping Ge smiled, "Why do we need these vain things between us? ”

A few months ago, Fenghua got married, and the song was still dormant, and she didn't have too much financial resources, so she braided the blood jade pendant that her mother passed to her into a sword spike and gave it to Fenghua.

This blood jade is an extremely rare treasure, when she was young, Fenghua was curious to touch this blood jade, but she refused to protect it. But Xiao Fenghua is a naughty person, the more she can't get it, the more curious she becomes, and she wants to go along again and again, so angry that she cries.

Later, the two separated, and she regretted it very much, why didn't she give it to an important person if it was an important thing?

Fortunately, it was finally delivered.

At that time, Fenghua saw that he had added this blood jade to the song, and he refused to accept it. She knew very well that this blood jade was the thought of A-Niang and A-sister.

But Dumping Ge is such a person, he looks soft and weak, but he is very stubborn, and he says that if he doesn't accept it, he will not be a sister in the future.

Fenghua looked up to the sky and sighed: "Today you give me an heirloom, and tomorrow you get married, I can only send you a life." ”

Now, there is no need to give away the life, but there is still the ability to add some scenery to the song.

"Mei Ying, let them in." Raise your voice.

I saw eight strong little maids carrying two big red boxes, and eight maids holding mahogany boxes, and they rushed in.

The red box fell to the ground, and the sound was muffled, but you knew that it contained very heavy items.

Then, the two servants lifted the lid together.

One box was neatly stacked with white silver, and the other was a box of all kinds of pearls and jade, and the whole room was brightly illuminated, and everyone was dumbfounded.

It's not that Qinge or other nobles can't get such a dowry, it's just that the little sister's dowry is meaningful, how can there be such an addition? It's too big!

But there's more to come.

The maid opened the two holding boxes and sang: "One end of the thousand-year-old wild lingzhi, and one snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains." ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped, and couldn't help but stretch their necks to look at this treasure, and some even jumped up from their seats in shock.

It is rumored that these two rare medicinal materials have the effect of resurrecting the dead, and they are priceless in the market, and Rao can cause thunder if he takes out one, not to mention that there are two kinds of them at once!

Two years ago, there was a Tianshan Snow Lotus in Beijing, and many wealthy families competed for it, and it was finally won by someone with 100,000 gold, which was a sensation.

In fact, this is the dowry that Fenghua's mother prepared for her daughter early, originally Fenghua planned to secretly add it to the song, but now the song is married to the dragon and phoenix among the people, and it doesn't hurt to show it.

Actually, this is also the idea of the song.

Earlier, she heard Fenghua say that she wanted to add a few precious medicinal materials for her, or the kind that brought the dead back to life.

She knew that Fenghua's mother's house was the No. 1 medicinal herb store in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were many precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler.

Recently, she saw that Fenghua was anxious about Anhetang, so she proposed to sing about this precious medicinal material when she added a dowry, which could make her famous.

It's just that I never expected that Fenghua was really a medicinal herb that brought the dead back to life.

Thinking about it, this is also the treasure at the bottom of Fenghua's box, she looked at Fenghua in astonishment, and whispered: "You are too valuable, I can't take it." ”

"If you don't accept it, you won't be sisters in the future." Fenghua smiled and returned the words of the original song to her.

Qingge glared at her, "If you don't learn, you have to learn quickly!" ”

"Dare to ask the Seventh Princess, where did such a precious medicinal herb come from?" A thin lady couldn't help but ask.

Fenghua knows that she is the wife of the old lady, and the old lady is now over half a hundred years old and is a well-known filial son.

A year ago, his mother's old disease recurred, Wang Qianhe had a diagnosis, hanging with ginseng, the old lady still has two or three years to live, but if there is a thousand years of wild Ganoderma lucidum, maybe it can clear the old disease and prolong life.

The Taifu family has been looking for medicine for a year, but nothing has been found.

Fenghua replied: "Madam, my mother's family is a pharmacy, and now the pharmacy is left to me, although it is not famous in Beijing, it is some treasures." ”

Fenghua has long known about the matter of the pharmacy in Beijing, many people openly and secretly ridiculed the daughter of her businessman, ruined the royal identity, and some people secretly said that she was like a wolf and a tiger, in order to find medicine for Ye Yanqi, so as to perform the gift of Zhou Gong.

But what about a bad reputation? When it comes to life-threatening matters, isn't everyone having to bow their heads?

Moreover, it is not only the Taifu family who needs rare medicinal materials, many people already have plans in their hearts.

Next, there are two more wooden boxes.

After the maid opened it, a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out, uplifting people's hearts.

"Gold and jade powder, jade gel paste, and three-flower juice." The maid sang.

I saw that there were several small square and round porcelain boxes in the wooden box, which contained something like shimmering white noodles, as well as snow-white paste, and liquid.

Qian Ge picked up the small porcelain vase with a happy face, "This is exactly what I am looking forward to, and I am still waiting to put it on before applying makeup." ”

Everyone had never heard of these names, but seeing that the items in front of them were so precious, and Xia Tingge was so proud, presumably these were not vulgar things, they asked curiously: "Hey, what are these?" ”

In fact, this is the strategy discussed by Fenghua and Qinge.

A few days ago, she asked her for some pearl powder. said that Mrs. Chen, who had given some concubines to her family, felt very good about it, and shared it with some good wives, but it was soon gone, and someone came to ask her how to buy it.

This pearl powder is made by Fenghua A-Niang and a doctor in Jiangnan, she has seen A-Niang often put on her face and hands since she was a child, and when she was older, A-Niang let her use it with Pung, saying that it can keep people radiant.

Because they have seen it since they were children and have been using it, both of them think that it is a common thing.

After Qinge asked, she found out that these medicinal powders and ointments were actually liked by nobles in Beijing, so she wrote to Uncle Tang to understand the situation.

Uncle Tang replied that more than ten years ago, her aunt developed a lot of external ointments for women, which can nourish the skin, promote blood circulation and dissipate stasis, improve skin texture, and so on.

Originally, her aunt wanted to use these dressings to develop new uses for medicinal materials and open up the women's market, but Jiangnan rouge gouache was prevalent, and the ointment could not be immediate and expensive, so it fell behind.

It's no wonder that these dressings are expensive, take the pearl powder as an example, it is a fusion of twenty-four herbs, and it also needs good pearls and gold leaf, not everyone can afford it.
