Chapter 79: The jade face is rejuvenated, and Zhu Que is polished
The snow fell so heavily that he almost lost Cheng Cang's eyes when he pushed open the corner door.
He looked up, but saw the little lady sitting on the donkey cart, with one foot on the wood, the other foot drooping, slowly and leisurely, stroking the donkey's back, her mouth open and closed, as if she were talking to the donkey.
She was already thin, and she was imprisoned for a few days, and her little face under the wind and snow became more and more pale and pointy, but her big eyes were exceptionally bright, and she couldn't see half of her annoyance.
"Guard Cheng, you're finally here."
When Xin Yi saw Cheng Cang, she jumped down from the donkey cart and reached out to lead her donkey.
"Let's go, it's snowing heavily, and I haven't eaten a bite of hot food yet."
During the time she was waiting, Xin Yi thought that Zhou Yiliu would deliberately snub her, and even not go to pass it on, but she never thought that she would be rejected, so of course she couldn't let her donkey be blown and frozen outside, and wanted to bring it in to rub the forage at the eldest princess's house.
Cheng Cang didn't move.
Xin Yi immediately realized that something was wrong, stopped and looked up, and bumped into Cheng Cang's calm and gloomy gaze, and suddenly understood.
"The king of the county refuses to see me?"
Cheng Cang and Duan Sui are completely opposite personalities, he doesn't like to talk much, and he doesn't know how to talk about his master's affairs, and he usually refuses to confide in half a word.
But looking at the little lady under the wind and snow today, he suddenly felt a little unbearable...... In fact, she didn't do anything wrong, she just liked the king of the county.
The dead husband wants to find someone to rely on, and it is not easy for the woman to be a family.
Cheng Cang sighed: "It's not that the king of the county refuses to see you, it's just that he ......"
Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled crisply, "What are the guards Cheng doing?" I asked for an order, but I didn't come to ask him. It is his intention to see the king of the county, so you don't have to be embarrassed. ”
Cheng Cang lowered his eyes, "The king of the county has been punished with a cane, and his body is inconvenient, not only the lady, but also the person who came to the house to greet the medicine today has not seen anyone, that is, the eldest princess came over, and it was also through the curtain, and after saying a few words, he hurriedly sent ......away."
Xin Yi understood a little, "Are you saying that the king of the county is embarrassed and ashamed to see people?" ”
“……”
If he was in front of Fu Jiuqu, Cheng Cang would not dare to say this sentence to death, but in the face of Xin Yi waiting in the wind and snow, he acquiesced.
Think about it, and tell it truthfully.
"In addition to the official royal gift, the county king only accepted the lady's ointment."
Xin Yi smiled slightly, as if the bid was successful, and he was very happy that his craftsmanship was affirmed: "Xin Yi is honored, then I won't bother, let the county king recuperate." ”
For a villain like Fu Jiuqu, who has only been beaten once in his entire twenty years of life, he will definitely not be able to hang up on that face.
And with such an injury, it must not be easy to wear.
Where will Fu Jiuqu let people see her embarrassment?
Xin Yi thought about it and laughed unkindly.
"Serving in front of the king of the county for the past two days, Cheng Guards must be uncomfortable. Sympathy, sympathy. ”
Cheng Cang was very happy when he saw the smile, and he was a little puzzled.
Shouldn't you be sad to be rejected by the county king?
Xin Yi shook his hands: "It's snowing heavily, Cheng Guard, hurry up and go in." I took the trouble to bring a message to the king of the county, and said that I wrote down the use of dressings and ointments on paper. There are also some precautions after the hip cane, which are also written, you can take a look. ”
Cheng Cang nodded, and said in a low voice.
"There's a lady of Lao."
Xin Yi led the donkey and turned around and waved his hand at Cheng Cang.
"Then I'll take my leave, and I'll come back to him another day."
Cheng Cang clenched his fists and arched his hands, "The lady is easy to go." ”
In Xin Yi's opinion, she and Fu Jiuqu are still in a cooperative relationship, after all, Fu Jiuqu's life is still in her hands, and they are a relatively equal relationship with each other, but Cheng Cang's head is a little swollen when he hears it.
Mrs. Zhang is really an outlier.
Are you so sure that the king of the county will meet her?
It's like walking the streets, and I'll come back another day.
"Alas!" Cheng Cang sighed, saw a person and a donkey walking away, and turned around silently.
~
Cheng Cang returned to the conservatory of Linqu Pavilion.
Fu Jiuqu was still lying on the chaise longue, with a small table in front of him, the burden sent by Xin Yi had been opened, there were several bottles and cans, Fu Jiuqu frowned slightly, looking at the "jade face rejuvenation" and "Zhu Que touching", and did not move.
Cheng Cang glanced at Sun Huai and Duan Sui.
Sun Huai hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and Duan Sui spread his hands and pretended to be stupid.
Cheng Cang didn't know what was going on, and stood to the side.
"The king of the county, Little Lady Zhang is gone."
Fu Jiuqu didn't raise his head, and snorted, "How did you go?" ”
"Take a donkey cart."
Fu Jiuqu turned his head sideways, cool and cool, as if he was looking at a fool.
Sun Huai coughed lightly, and Cheng Cang immediately understood the meaning of the master's words.
"Back to the county king, Mrs. Zhang left crying. It was snowing outside, and she looked a little embarrassed. ”
Fu Jiuqu's face looked a little better: "Why are you crying?" ”
Cheng Cang lowered his head and said nonsense with a clear conscience.
"Mrs. Zhang waited outside the gate of the mansion for a long time, and she was cold-eyed, so she wanted to see the king of the county, but when she heard that her subordinates said that the king of the county refused to see her, and discarded the ointment she brought, she must have been a little sad......"
"Hmm." Fu Jiuqu replied lightly, suddenly hooked his lips again, picked up the box of ointment and looked at it, and asked lazily:
"Tell me, why does the ointment use names like jade face rejuvenation and Zhu Que polish?"
Sun Huai smiled, "Little ladies like to use elegant names. ”
Duan Sui scratched his head, "Ninth Master, why do your subordinates think she is scolding you?" ”
Fu Jiuqu stared at him coldly: "Oh? ”
Duan Sui pointed to the ointment and smiled awkwardly, "My subordinates haven't read much...... But Jiu Ye, you read a lot, you must understand that these two names look like Xiao Niang's rouge gouache, and also, doesn't this jade face refer to the face? But the ninth master was injured in the buttocks...... Isn't she just scolding the ninth master for having a face on the fart? ”
Syllable! A porcelain pillow flew over and slammed into Duan Sui's face.
"Ouch!" Duan Sui hugged his head and ran around, seeing the porcelain pillow falling to the ground and falling apart, he was secretly glad that the ninth master couldn't leave now, and there was no way to come and beat him.
"Dog thing, punish you for washing the January Gong bucket."
Yes! Duan Sui screamed.
Cheng Cang said at this time: "The king of the county, I only saw the wind and snow below, and I was afraid that Zhang Niangzi would make a mistake, so I specially asked two inspectors to follow." ”
These words successfully calmed Fu Jiuqu's fire.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Although Chen Chusheng is dead, the mastermind behind Zhang Xiaoniang's ill intentions has not been clarified several times. If it really wasn't Chen Chusheng's doing, then you really need to be on guard.
"Well done." Fu Jiuqu casually took the book beside the pillow, "Tell them to be cautious, don't alarm her, so as not to cause trouble." ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
……
……
Xin Yi was a little hungry, so he came out along the street and unconsciously went around Mahang Street.
There are many medical shops on the north side of this street, there are also many incense medicine shops, there are many officials' mansions in the north near the Wuzhang River, and there are a few tiles in the south of the street, which can be described as extremely prosperous, and the night market is even more lively than the state bridge.
At this time, there are countless cars, horses and pedestrians, and there is often a congestion of traffic......
"Sell dried fruit preserves! Dried fruit preserves! It's not delicious, you don't need money. ”
"You can't pass by without eating ......"
"Honey fried fruit, fragrant and sweet honey fried fruit!"
"Crispy honey, dates, fragrant candy seeds, sugar dumplings, honey fried carved ......"
"Official, come and ...... for a while"
The night market is the time of bustle, there is no night ban in Bianjing City, the lights are as bright as day, Xin Yi led the little donkey cart to squeeze in, originally wanted to buy some snacks and fried goods back to the family for a few children, but when he walked to the front of the Sun family pharmacy, he was a little unable to move.
The door of the store was ajar, and Sun Yuzhi, who looked like a scholar, sat in the medicine hall with the lamp, not sitting to see the disease, but holding a book and reading it, with a girl with red sleeves next to him.
Xin Yi looked at it stupidly, and his mind had already described a picture of himself running a pharmacy here, taking care of his livelihood, asking for medical treatments and prescriptions, and opening a vegetable garden in the backyard near the river in his spare time, planting flowers and vegetables.
Everything is ready, and I only owe three thousand.
"You said you can't leave? Don't get in the way. ”
A man who carried the burden shouted dissatisfiedly, which brought Xin Yi back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please." Xin Yi hurriedly led the donkey to the side.
The porter was not tall, and the contents of his burden seemed to be a little heavy, and the straw rope creaked, and a thick breath came out of his nose.
"Don't look in the mirror, that young owner is so handsome, where can he look down on a little lady like you...... Every day, the little ladies came here to look, and the road was blocked. ”
The first half of the sentence talks about hardship, and the second half of the sentence talks about reality.
Sun Yuzhi went to the Sun's pharmacy to sit down, but the first diagnosis was not opened, but it caused the lovesickness of many little ladies on Mahang Street......
Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing that the porter was covered with dense sweat on his forehead and was dressed in half-worn clothes, she swallowed back the words of reply.
It's her fault to block the road, it's just that, isn't it just that people say she's ugly, and the toad wants to eat swan meat? From the king of the county to the young owner of the medicine hall, she is thinking about a man in Xiao.
Hum!
Wait for her to slowly show them the beauty-
The merchant walked past him.
A burst of aroma wafted out.
Xin Yi sniffed, his gaze moving with his burden.
Agarwood, borneol......
How much silver is a load of spices worth?
You can buy all ten Sun family pharmacies, right?
Xin Yi almost drooled......
After the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Division, the tributary envoys of various countries came to Bianjing, bringing trade exchanges, and the maritime trade also reached a very prosperous situation. Among the goods in Fanbang, spices are the most marketable. The Song people had a culture of burning incense, and the official set up an incense-making workshop, and the dignitaries would also set up an incense pharmacy at home to manage spices and use incense.
Therefore, the import goods from Fanbang are worth a thousand gold.
But why is such a preciousness carried by an inconspicuous porter?
------Off topic------
In the Song Dynasty, poems about incense abound, and Lu You's sentence summed it up well, "The car is speeding by, the cigarette smoke is like a cloud, and the dust is fragrant for miles." ”
From the royal family, nobles, dignitaries, scholars, and ordinary people to use incense, but the incense used is different. The difference between luxury and affordable goods.
If you are interested in the incense culture of the Great Song Dynasty, you can Baidu it......
