Chapter 35: This is my rule
Since seeing the letter written by Ruan Jiuge that day, Ruan Li probably understood the reason why the Xie family treated them like that, but this could not be the reason for Ruan's innocent and tragic death.
The business of the beauty salon is becoming more and more popular, and now you have to queue up to buy things, if you have any defects or acne on your face, you can find Ah Ruan to configure a special prescription to solve it.
When Concubine Shu learned from Yun Jian that there was no way to go to the beauty workshop to try it, Concubine Shu immediately asked someone to start this matter.
So, on this day, she arranged for the carriage to quietly leave the palace, and the whole person looked very low-key, wearing a hat to cover her face.
Seeing that there were too many people at the door, I was always used to queuing up for whatever I wanted, and I didn't want to crowd with these people.
She glanced at it with disgust, and walked in directly with the maid swaggering.
"This young lady, please wait in line."
Xiao Er saw that someone had come straight in, and he was afraid of disturbing the existing order, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Concubine Shu to line up.
"Bold, just a small citizen, dare to point fingers at me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Er immediately heard that this person was not small, and when he saw that the other party looked unwilling to line up, he immediately went in to show Ruan Li.
"You and Ziyu go out to deal with it first, I'll come out later, and let her line up properly."
Ruan Li listened to Xiao Er's description, pinched the approximate time of Concubine Shu, and guessed that this person was probably Concubine Shu.
After getting the order, Ziyu followed Xiao Er.
"Hello Miss, please line up."
Ziyu stood in front of Concubine Shu and kindly reminded.
"You, I'm in line, I don't know when I'm going to go."
Concubine Shu originally thought that Xiao Er would take her directly into the inner room when she came out, but she didn't expect Ziyu to come out and still let her line up.
However, why is this girl so familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere.
"Then I'm sorry, this young lady, you see that there are so many people waiting here, and you are not the only one who needs it, right?"
Ziyu's attitude before meeting was very unfriendly, but she didn't get angry, and continued without being humble or arrogant.
"What's wrong with them waiting?"
Concubine Shugui's anger came up all of a sudden, and the whole person couldn't care so much, so she scolded directly, and now the most important thing is her face.
"Miss, I'm sorry, this is the rule set by my young lady."
"What's wrong with the rules set by your young lady, besides, you are not the boss here, call your young lady to tell me."
Although Concubine Shu was wearing a hat, she could still clearly see her proud face.
"My young lady is now making a beauty cream in the back, I don't have time to see you, and I want to trouble Miss to forgive me."
"Is that to wait for me? Do you know that my time is precious? β
"I'm sorry, miss."
Ziyu still refused to give in, and the shopkeepers next to her also fought in a row with great eyes, quite a posture that she dared to come to them if she dared to come hard.
"You ......"
Concubine Shu hates that iron does not become steel, she doesn't know what the emperor came here to do a few days ago, but she doesn't know why the emperor came here, plus Yun Jian's divine doctor, she will come to this so-called beauty workshop.
Unexpectedly, she came all the time, and the people here even put up a shelf for her.
"I'm telling you, I'm going to have to go in today."
She gave a look to a few maids behind her, and after a few maids understood, they immediately stepped forward and held down Ziyu.
The other people who were queuing up and the young lady of your family didn't dare to gather when they saw this battle.
Who doesn't know that Ah Ruan, the owner of this beauty workshop, is Shen Sichen's wife, the prospective daughter-in-law of the Shen family, who dares to cause trouble, and those who dare to come here to make trouble are not good at stubble, everyone chooses to stand by and watch.
"This young lady, my beauty salon has always acted according to the rules, even if you are the emperor, you must follow my rules here."
Just when a few maids were about to make a move, Ruan Li came out, her tone arrogant and conceited.
Concubine Shu felt very familiar, looked up, and found that it was the Ah Ruan from the countryside.
She has a rash on her face these days, and she has never been out, and she doesn't know what happened in Kyoto, if it weren't for Yun Jian talking about giving gifts to the palaces with the emperor, she wouldn't even know that a new beauty workshop had opened in Kyoto, and she didn't know that the owner of the beauty workshop was Ah Ruan.
I knew that the boss was Ah Ruan, so she wouldn't come.
"Where did you come from here, take a big breath, what does the emperor have to abide by your rules here."
Hearing Ruan Li's tone, Concubine Shu couldn't help her temper.
"Why don't you go and ask the emperor?"
The people laughed when they heard it, and the emperor was what they wanted to see.
However, hearing Ruan Li's words, Concubine Shu also knew that Ruan Li recognized her.
"Don't talk wildly here, I won't come to this beauty salon."
After saying that, Concubine Shu turned around and wanted to rent, as if she had completely forgotten that she still had a rash on her face.
"Really? I hope that Miss will not forget your original intention of coming to me. β
Ruan Li saw that Concubine Shu was leaving, and she was not in a hurry, nor did she stop Concubine Shu, and said a word slowly.
Sure enough, hearing this, Concubine Shu stopped her feet.
Yes, how could she forget what she was here for, she came here to solve these rashes on her face, even Yun Jian couldn't help the rashes, maybe this Ah Ruan could really be, after all, Ruan Jiuge had so many beautiful babies at the beginning.
"You, do you really have a way?"
Concubine Shu was not tactful, and asked directly.
"Miss, I have some friendship with Doctor Yun Jian, he told me about your general situation, who else can you find besides me now?"
"Okay, but I don't want to stand in line."
"Yes."
Ruan Li glanced at Concubine Shu and agreed casually.
"One thousand taels of silver will be counted as the cost of your joining the queue, and the cost of diagnosis and treatment will be calculated separately."
"One thousand taels of silver, I just don't want to queue up, are you?"
Hearing one thousand taels, Concubine Shu was stunned.
"No way, miss, my rules are like this, you can do whatever you like."
Ruan Li also looked unhappy.
"Okay, a thousand taels is a thousand taels."
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Okay, Miss Wanwang, don't regret it."
"What about the cost of treatment?"
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and asked, her annual income is only a few hundred taels, but she has fished some oil and water from everywhere over the years, and there are tens of thousands of taels of savings in case she needs it from time to time.
"What about the cost of diagnosis and treatment, after all, ninety-nine-eighty is the same, and each one must be specially prepared with the best things, so a set of five bottles of medicine is five thousand taels, plus the cost of not queuing, it is a total of six thousand taels."
Ruan Li said slowly, she just wants to pit Concubine Shu today.
"Six thousand taels? Five bottles of medicine are six thousand taels, you might as well rob it. β
Hearing her words, Concubine Shu instantly raised her voice.
"Miss, you just say you don't need it. If you want to use it, six thousand taels of silver, no more, no less: if you don't use it, just go out, don't give it away. Whether you use these six thousand taels or not, it's all up to the young lady to decide. β
Ruan Li is not afraid of Concubine Shu turning around and leaving, after all, if people know that Concubine Shu and the son of the Xie family have exactly the same rash at the same time, and they don't know how to gossip, to put it mildly, if this matter is spread to the emperor, the emperor has experienced so many things in the harem, will he not be able to guess that there is a personal affair between the two?
It was only by this that she could eat Concubine Shu to death.
"Okay, you can say as much as you want."
"I have two sets here, I don't know if Miss needs them?"
Ruan Li asked with a smile, she just wanted to know how sincere this Shugui Concubine was to Xie Ruoling.
"One set is enough."
Concubine Shu shook her head and said that she would only buy one set.
"Okay."
Ruan Li nodded, tsk, this is their so-called relationship of fornication at the risk of punishing the Nine Clans, and it turns out that it is nothing more than that.
Ruan Li didn't speak again, and took Concubine Shu to the inside.
"Concubine Niangniang, take it off."
Concubine Shu nodded and took off her hat.
"Isn't it ugly for me to do this?"
Ruan Li didn't answer, and was silent for a long time, but Concubine Shu continued to say her own.
"Also, why did I ask you, you have the favor of Shen Sichen."
Concubine Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, "As for me, it's useless, just this face." In the past, when I was still beautiful, His Majesty never looked at me, let alone now. β
Hearing this, Ruan Li couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu is also a person trapped in the palace, bound by the imperial wall for half her life, and the only thing they can rely on is themselves, so they gradually lost themselves in the imperial wall.
"I've got nothing to tell you about this."
In the blink of an eye, the sympathetic concubine just now was gone, and it was the arrogant and domineering concubine.
"However, it's strange to say that Xie Ruoling, the son of Xie Mansion, has also been bedridden recently and doesn't want to see anyone."
Ruan Li looked at such a noble concubine and deliberately mentioned Xie Ruoling.
"What's my business?"
Sure enough, hearing Xie Ruoling's name, a panic that was visible to the naked eye appeared on Concubine Shugui's face.
"That's right."
Ruan Li nodded, didn't speak, and started to concoct a beauty cream that Shu Guifei could use next to Shu Guifei.
"Does this really work?"
"Concubine Shugui can rest assured, since I dare to charge you six thousand taels of silver, I am completely sure."
Concubine Shu nodded, thinking for a while.
Today, except for Ruan Li, no one knows who she is, as soon as she gets something, she turns her face and denies it, and she doesn't admit it to death, and she doesn't need to give this little hoof of the six thousand taels of silver.
"When the time comes, I will also ask Concubine Shu to prepare the money and send it to the Shen Mansion, and Shen Sichen will count it for me. Shuguifei, you know, my fiancΓ© is very short-sighted. β
seemed to know Concubine Shu's plans, and as soon as Ruan Li opened her mouth, she directly cut off Concubine Shu's retreat.
"Okay, don't worry, this palace is a concubine, only six thousand taels of silver, it's hard to bring down this palace."
Concubine Shu smiled on the surface, and she had already scolded Ruan Li in her heart. Since this is the case, she doesn't mind adding a little block to Ruan Li.
"Speaking of which, the temple prayer for the Qitian feast is coming to an end, Miss Xie Ruowei should come back anyway."
Ruan Li's hand paused, and continued to deploy as if nothing had happened, and replied casually, "Yes." β
Seeing that Ruan Li didn't have the heart to continue, Concubine Shu no longer spoke boringly.
I don't know how long it took before Ruan Li looked at Concubine Shu and asked a question.
"Concubine Shu, how did you know the queen back then?"
