Admitted to the hospital at dusk, the wind blows the fragrance of cinnamon.

Tao Jiang came from the twilight in a dark dress, and the warm light of the dusk fell on her little by little, like a picture of a beautiful woman with pleasant tones.

She walked all the way to the middle of the courtyard, and didn't even give Gu Chonglou a look, only smiled at Miao Yiqing, who finally stretched her brows:

"Uncle Miao, I'm still in time, right?"

Miao Yiqing breathed a long sigh of relief and replied in a loud voice:

"Just in time! Make it! ”

Gu Chonglou struggled to concave this pine-like crane shape for a long time, just waiting for Tao Jiang to fall into her own grace as soon as she entered the door and couldn't extricate herself, but she didn't even give herself half a color from the tips of her eyes, and she couldn't help but have a blue and white face that was lively.

After being a little frustrated, he immediately looked at Tao Jiang's master and servant, and saw that both of them were empty-handed, and couldn't help but smile and spread the jade face from his heart:

"Cousin, you came with the silver but didn't arrive, shouldn't you have earned a penny this day!"

After speaking, he nodded to the little guy behind him, and the little guy had to open the cage on one side, and a box full of silver made the onlookers exclaim.

is also a businessman, how many people have never seen so much money in their lives.

Gu Chonglou flicked his sleeves, did not hide the arrogance on his face at all, and said to everyone:

"I bought a nine-point pearl for 1,000 gold and sold it to the Du family of Ambo Province for 1,200 gold. This profit is a full 200 gold, that is, 2,000 taels of silver! In addition, I also collected some loose beads, the cost of 500 taels, and in the end of this competition, my Gu family's profit was 1500 taels of silver. ”

After speaking, he walked lightly to Tao Jiang's side, leaned over and pointed his head to her ear, and said softly as he thought he was blowing:

"I don't know how profitable my cousin who hasn't received a bead today?"

Tao Jiang's neck was white and slender, like a high-grade mutton fat jade revealing a surging watery meaning, and falling into Gu Chonglou's eyes made his heart stir--

A plum blossom-like beauty like Tao Jiang, I don't know what it would be like to hold it in my arms?

Is it soft incense? Or do you want to go low?

Gu Chonglou's heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to push the wonderful person in front of him onto the couch in the next moment.

Suddenly, Tao Jiang in front of him took two steps back, covered his mouth and nose, and said with a disgusted and serious expression:

"Gu Gongzi has been having a bad stomach recently, why did he come close to me and speak, and the smell in his mouth was so big? After the competition, go to my Taojia pharmacy and prescribe a few doses of laxative and breath-relieving medicine, and by the way, your intestinal excretion will be cleared, otherwise it is always rude to smoke others. ”

The sound was not loud or small, just enough for the vendors to hear it really.

A burst of ridicule broke out in the crowd in an instant, Gu Chonglou quickly covered his mouth with his hand and tried to breathe, and sniffed under his nose without a trace...... No smell, huh?

He has always paid attention to appearance, wide clothes and self-comparison, and the merchants will take a piece or two of chicken tongue incense from time to time to prevent his breath, how can he speak with a peculiar smell?

Could it be that my cousin framed me?

He suddenly raised his head to look at Tao Jiang, but saw that her apricot eyes were blue and white, and the smile on her lips was more fake than the clay sculpture in the temple - this was obviously putting herself together!

Gu Chonglou was so angry that his facial features were about to move, and he didn't care about the image of a gentleman, and shouted at the stage:

"Miao Lao, don't you announce the results yet? Is it possible that we all want to accompany the Tao family Sanniang to play here? ”

The face is red and the neck is thick, where is there still half a point of modest gentlemanly appearance.

Tao Jiang didn't panic when he heard this, but just took a piece of paper from his waist and handed it to Miao Yiqing:

"Uncle Miao, this is my achievement."

Gu Chonglou looked at the tissue paper in Miao Yiqing's hand suspiciously, but the sky was dark, and he couldn't see what was written on it.

I saw Miao Yiqing quickly glance at it a few times, then put the paper under the croissant lamp, read it carefully several times, and only after confirming it several times did he laugh aloud:

"Hahaha...... is worthy of being the first businesswoman in my Xiangxi! Tao Jiang, if you don't sit in the position of the general merchant, who else can sit? ”

Miao Yiqing's words made Gu Chonglou's face change, he didn't know what was written on that piece of paper, which could make Miao Yiqing so excited, and directly gave Tao Jiang the position of general merchant.

His heart was on fire, and Gu Chonglou couldn't care so much, so he stepped up to the high platform in a few steps and snatched the paper from Miao Yiqing's hand, only to find out--

This...... It turned out to be an order for the hand oil ointment of the Bengzui Lake Imperial Court Navy!

Half a year's ration, worth 10,000 taels of silver!

Gu Chonglou was like being beaten on the head, his nostrils were spewing heavily, and his eyes were wide open but he couldn't speak.

He saw Tao Jiang standing calmly under the golden cinnamon, smiling slightly, but it was cold that penetrated people's muscles and bones, and his ears sounded what Tao Jiang said to him at this time yesterday--

"The reason why I accepted the third game is just to make you lose more miserably, more humiliating, and more unable to raise your head!"

Isn't that true?

How can it be?

Obviously, a few days ago, this cousin also regarded himself as a treasure, and he looked like he would not marry.

Why do you look at your eyes now, but it seems that you want to peel his skin and drink his blood?

Gu Chonglou shook his head as he retreated, and muttered like a lost soul:

"Impossible...... No way...... There's no way she's going to win against me......"

Miao Yiqing saw that his expression was different, snatched the order from Gu Chonglou's hand, turned his head and said to Tao Jiang;

"Since the Gu family's son is not convinced, you can tell everyone in detail!"

It turned out that Tao Jiang saw that the Gu family had collected all the beads, and he could only use local materials, so he set his eyes on the mussel shell.

Tao Jiang remembered that there was a record in "Seventy-two Prescriptions" that he took a penny of mussel shell and ground it very finely, one tael of white wax and one tael of lard oil, melted it on fire, mixed it with mussel shell powder, and then supplemented with pig's trotter soup and a little wax oil medicine to make a paste. It can treat all kinds of poisonous scabies, tendon ulcers, rotten muscles and bones, and ulcers that do not heal for a long time.

It's just that this recipe is out of the way, and there are very few people who know it, and the mussel shell is a pickled thing, so this hand ointment is not a circulating thing in Daqi.

Tao Jiang was also worried about where to sell this ointment, and when his eyebrows were furrowed, he saw two fleets of ships on the surface of Bengzui Lake--

It was the naval exercises of the imperial court!

It's late autumn, and winter is coming in a few days.

The navy is stationed on the lake all the year round, and the spring and summer seasons are fine, but in autumn and winter, the hands are frostbitten, the light ones are extremely itchy, and the heavy ones bleed and pus.

Even now in late autumn, the remnants of the autumn tiger are still there, and the backs of some sailors' hands are already red, swollen and itchy.

Not to mention the training of the Xi army, it is to use the oars to shake the oars, everyone is grinning in pain, what kind of battlefield fighting spirit do you mention?

Therefore, every time it enters autumn and winter, it is the most headache for the generals of the navy.

Of course, even if the medicine is for the disease, the promotion of Tao Jiang is not so easy.

The general must not believe such a young girl who has not yet reached the end of time, until Tao Jiang told him the pharmacology of the ingredients of hand oil ointment without a trace of stumbling, and conducted experiments on the hands of more than a dozen sailors in a row.

It's also strange - after a stick of incense, these sailors grinned one after another, and their hands were not itchy!

After waiting for a while, even the redness and swelling have subsided a little!

The general is also a straightforward man, so he immediately called the adjutant to sign a half-year order, and said that if it is used well, it will continue to order in the next year!

After speaking, everyone looked at Tao Jiang differently--

can do business with the official family, which is not many people in the entire Xiangxi County!

What's more, in just one day, he got an order of 10,000 taels of silver, which is really terrifying!

It seems that the name of Tao Sanniang, the "No. 1 merchant girl in Xiangxi", is not casually blown, and the few axes in this show bag are real!

In addition, there have always been regulations in Hecaitang--

At the end of each year, the business profits of the four major families will be distributed 5 points to the merchants in Xiangxi as a labor supplement.

So, without waiting for Miao Yiqing to hand over the seal ribbon of the hall master of Hecai Hall to Tao Jiang, there was already thunder of joy in the courtyard:

"Hall Master Tao! Master of the Tao Hall! Master of the Tao Hall! ”

Tao Jiang stared at Gu Chonglou, whose face was as white as paper and his lips were completely colored, the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper, and he gently spit out a sentence:

"I heard that Gu Gongzi's father has held a banquet in the mansion to celebrate your return home with the position of chief merchant, why don't Gu Gongzi hurry back and have a look?"

Gu Chonglou looked at the ghostly Tao Jiang, thinking of his father, whose face was as black as iron, and the pearl that he had sold cheaply, he couldn't help but soften his feet, and sat down heavily.

But Tao Jiang's performance was very strange, her eyes were full of excitement, staring straight into the sky--

No one knew that she was looking at the dark cloud above her head, which had already developed a faint layer of redness, and the change in value made her mouth grin directly to the root of her ears.
