Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Triumph's chairman once said, "A woman's money can never be earned, the important thing is that you know what a woman is thinking?"
For women, youth and beauty, love and glory are their eternal pursuits. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) You might think that their never-ending pursuit of the latest clothes and leather bags would be childish and boring. But what you don't understand is that what they are pursuing is not the clothing and the bag itself, but the inner self-confidence they are pursuing, nothing more.
Recently, Jingshi has been very calm, and there have been no major events for the people to discuss in the wine shop and teahouse. But in the two circles of the officialdom of the Beijing Division, there was one thing that attracted everyone's attention.
These two circles are the men's circle and the women's circle.
There is no need to say much in the circle of men, everyone is spreading the magical effect of the Jiuyang Pill, and everyone who has used it talks about the obsessive expression and smug smile makes others want to buy a few quickly and try it when they see it.
The women's circle is even crazier than the men's, and they have begun to inquire around about the whereabouts of the Fei Feng Dan. Knowing that Mrs. Cui Zhengyi still has a bottle in her hand, more than a dozen wives of officials of all sizes have come to visit her with gifts almost every day recently, although the words are all cold greetings, but the subtext all points to the remaining bottle of Feifeng Dan.
As the governor of Shuntianfu, plus the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Choi Jung-yi's status in the DPRK is not low. But today, there was a person who made Choi Jung-yi have to be cautious about the receptionist. This person is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jin Gui.
In the main hall of Cui's mansion, Jin Gui and Cui Zhengyi chatted for a while, talked about some interesting stories in the officialdom, and gossiped about homely things. Then he asked without a trace, "By the way, why didn't you see my brother and sister today?"
"Huh?" Cui Zhengyi was slightly stunned, he didn't understand how Jin Gui could suddenly mention his wife when chatting with him. You must know that in ancient times, it was rude to care too much about someone else's wife.
Seeing Cui Zhengyi stunned, Jin Gui smiled slightly, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. He said: "In recent days, there have been rumors in the Beijing that your wife and the wife of Lord Huang's family suddenly regained their youth and beauty, as if they were more than ten years younger, I don't know if this is true?"
Cui Zhengyi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It turns out that the adults are here for this matter. Truth be told, it's true. Although it is not as exaggerated as the rejuvenation rumored outside, it really has the effect of rejuvenating. Wait, sir, I'll let Uchiko come out and meet you. ”
After speaking, Cui Zhengyi walked out of the hall and asked the housekeeper to call his wife.
After a while, a tall woman in a long blue dress walked into the main hall. The woman bowed slightly to Jin Gui and said, "Xiangyu see your lord." ”
Jin Gui glanced at Yun Xiangyu, and then the whole person was stunned.
He had seen Yun Xiangyu before, and he was indeed a beauty when he was young. But as I get older, my face is already covered with wrinkles and all kinds of brown spots, and my body is getting more and more bloated, and I don't look like it used to be.
But now
Yun Xiangyu still has a little wrinkles and brown spots on her face, her skin is fair and pink, and she looks like a young girl in her twenties. And her belly, which was already bulging, was also deflated at the moment, and her figure looked slightly plump but very coordinated.
Isn't this the Yunxiangyu when I was young?
Jin Gui was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and said with a slightly red face: "Lost honor, lost honor." Jin Gui said to Cui Zhengyi and Yun Xiangyu again and again: "Forgive me, forgive me"
"Adults don't have to mind, even if I am opposite to the lady day and night, it is inevitable that I will be distracted, let alone the first time the adult sees the lady after the change. Cui Zhengyi said with a smile.
Jin Gui got up and saluted slightly to Cui Zhengyi and said, "Zhengyi, the old man will not be polite to you." I heard that Mrs. Ling still has a bottle of 'Feifeng Dan' in her hand, and the old man is cheeky to ask you for medicine today, hoping that you can give it to the old man. You don't know, your sister-in-law has been pestering me all day long since she met my brother and sister, and the noise makes me uneasy. And my three daughters-in-law."
Cui Zhengyi smiled slightly, and quickly stood up and said, "My lord, Madame does have a bottle of Feifeng Pill in her hand, but there are only seven in one bottle, and a person must take seven pills to have obvious effects, even if it is handed over to adults, it is not enough." But adults don't have to worry, the pharmacy will reopen in two days, and the subordinates will definitely go to buy it and send it to the adult's house. ”
"There are still two days to buy this magic medicine?" Jin Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "By the way, who is refining this medicine?" ”
"The person selling this medicine is very young, and I have never seen it before. I just heard Li Qianshun say that this person's name is Jiangxia. ”
"Jiang Xia?" Jin Gui was slightly stunned, and suddenly lost his voice: "It won't be Li Dongyang's apprentice." ”
Thinking of this, Jin Gui immediately said to Cui Zhengyi: "Zhengyi, the old man has said goodbye first, and we will meet again another day." ”
After speaking, Jin Gui immediately walked out of the main hall.
Cui Zhengyi was still stunned, and his wife suddenly pinched him and stomped his foot urgently: "Why are you still standing here? Didn't you hear Lord Jin say that he might know the person who sold the medicine? My medicine is almost finished, why don't you buy it for me!"
Cui Zhengyi was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, he immediately turned his head and shouted to Jin Gui's back: "My lord, wait for me, I will accompany you." ”
Cui Zhengyi said secretly in his heart, and my Jiuyang Dan, Jiuyang Dan
In the Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia was discussing state affairs with Li Dongyang. The topic of the discussion between the two was the pros and cons of the Ming treasure banknote.
Nowadays, the depreciation of Daming treasure banknotes has become more and more strict, and silver is almost about to replace Daming treasure banknotes. If the Ming treasure suddenly withdraws from the stage of history, then the Ming economy will suffer a severe blow. Li Dongyang had been worrying about this matter since he was still a cabinet assistant, and when he talked to Jiang Xia like this, he felt that he had benefited a lot.
Li Dongyang frowned and asked Jiang Xia: "What does the so-called opening of emerging markets, the outward transfer of Daming treasure banknotes, and the circulation of currency into a circulating currency, can you explain it to Weishi?"
Jiang Xia nodded, "This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to operate. In fact, we only need to open trade outside the customs, and use our Ming silk, porcelain, tea and other items to trade with the Tatars, Warats, and Nuergandusi outside the customs gates. Forcing them to buy these items from us only with Daming Treasure Banknotes, so that they will deliberately exchange Huàn Daming Treasure Banknotes.
With the passage of time, as long as our trade is done well, they will naturally begin to circulate the Ming treasure banknotes in their country. Then the Daming treasure banknote must begin to appreciate, and as long as the production volume of the Daming treasure banknote is allowed to exchange the old banknote for the new banknote, then the Daming treasure banknote will not continue to depreciate. However, "
"However, foreign trade is a taboo, and it is not easy to achieve it because of the suspicion of being an enemy. Li Dongyang shook his head and said.
Jiang Xia nodded, expressing his approval of Li Dongyang's words.
Li Dongyang sighed slightly, he simply stopped talking about this question, but instead reminded Jiang Xia: "By the way, Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian in the past two days, is coming to Beijing to face the saint, you have to be more careful." The world says that the king of Xingxian is loyal and shallow in his scheming, and he is a prince who is willing to be carefree and plain. But the teacher doesn't think so, the people in this world are too good at disguise, and the more loyal they seem, the more they may actually be harboring evil intentions. ”
Jiang Xia nodded cautiously, he obviously knew more than Li Dongyang, but he didn't want to say it, so as not to involve Li Dongyang.
"I understand. Jiangxia said.
Li Dongyang bowed slightly, and then asked, "I heard that you recently opened a pharmacy on Sanlihe Street?"
"Yes, there were two pills handed down in the disciple's family, and the medicine was very effective, so the disciple was ready to make medicine and sell it for the benefit of the world. ”
Li Dongyang looked at Jiang Xia calmly.
Jiang Xia suddenly understood that Li Dongyang must not believe this kind of glorious and righteous words, he laughed a little embarrassed and said, "Of course, I also want to make two small dollars to buy wine for my master." ”
Li Dongyang smiled slightly, touched the beard that had just grown out of his chin and said: "There are still more than ten days before the imperial examination, you can directly enter the palace examination as the national superintendent, and I hope you can be diligent in your studies and strive to get back a top three name in the palace examination." ”
"Master, don't worry, the apprentice will definitely work hard. Jiangxia said.
As soon as Jiang Xia's words fell, suddenly a porter of Xiaoyao Villa hurriedly ran over to report: "Owner, there are two people outside the door who claim to be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who want to see you, you see." ”
"Jin Gui?" Li Dongyang nodded and said, "Please." ”
"Yes. The guard replied and immediately retreated.
After a while, Jin Gui and Cui Zhengyi walked in under the leadership of the guards. Seeing Jiang Xia, Cui Zhengyi pointed at him excitedly and said, "It's him, it's him, it's him." ”
The teenage hero Xiao Nezha. Jiang Xia subconsciously sang in his heart.
Of course, what Cui Zhengyi was going to say next was naturally not this, he said to Jin Gui excitedly: "My lord, the medicine was bought in the hands of this son." ”
"Hahahaha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Jin Gui ran over in a few steps, grabbed Li Dongyang's hand and said, "Brother Bin, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, and today is the time for Jin Gui to come to you to ask for favors." ”
Li Dongyang was taken aback by Jin Gui's excited appearance, he quickly withdrew his hand from Jin Gui's hand, coughed dryly twice, and said, "What's the matter, I'll talk about it first." ”
Jin Gui didn't say the word "fart" after "also refer to it", after all, he was reading a sage book, how could he swear.
Jin Gui looked at Jiang Xia hesitantly and said, "Binzhi, ask your apprentice to give me some of the medicine he refined." ”
Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, thinking that this old guy is so old and still needs Jiuyang Dan?
Fellow travelers. Jiang Xia blinked his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "My lord, that medicine is good." ”
"Yes, yes, the effect is significant. Jin Gui said.
Li Dongyang couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia, "Jiang Xia, what kind of medicine is that?"
"Back to Master's words, it is an aphrodisiac, and if you eat it, you can be fierce, seven times a night, and you will be happy every time. Jiang Xia said.
Li Dongyang was stunned, then looked at Jin Gui and suddenly laughed, he smiled and quipped: "Okay, Jin Lao Pifu, you still have such thoughts at such an age, I must tell Liu Gong and Xie Gong about this matter." ”
"What? What aphrodisiac?" Jin Gui hurriedly asked Jiang Xia: "How did Feifeng Dan become an aphrodisiac?"
"If you are Fei Feng Dan?" Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood that he had misunderstood. He nodded: "I'm sorry for misunderstanding my lord." The Fei Feng Dan takes seven pills as a course of treatment, and the four courses of treatment will be fully effective. Wait a minute, my lord, I'll have someone prepare four bottles for you in a moment. ”
"Four bottles, how can four bottles be enough?" Jin Gui shook his head, stretched out four fingers and said, "At least four bottles." ”
"So much? There are many people in the adult's family waiting to take it? I would like to remind you that this medicine can only be taken by women, and it is harmful for men to take it. And taking too much is not beneficial. ”
"There are indeed four women in the family who want to take it, don't worry. Jin Gui said.
"I see. Jiang Xia secretly glanced at Li Dongyang and tried to say, "Then this price"
Jiang Xia saw that Li Dongyang didn't react at all, and his heart suddenly relaxed. As soon as Jin Gui heard that he wanted silver, he immediately shot his eyes to Li Dongyang, he coughed twice, and motioned for Li Dongyang to say something.
Li Dongyang said lightly: "Jiangxia, Jin Shangshu has been an official in the same dynasty as his teacher for many years, so he will be cheaper."
"You're funny. Jin Gui suddenly said with a smile.
But Jin Gui never expected that Li Dongyang's back hand behind his back secretly made a lifting action for Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia's heart suddenly understood, and he nodded his head seriously and said, "Yes, Master." Since it's Master's friend, let's charge a cost price below. That Fei Feng Dan is made from more than 20 precious medicinal materials, including thousand-year-old He Wu, Tianshan Snow Lotus, thousand-year-old ginseng, and so on."
Cui Zhengyi was slightly stunned, aren't these medicinal materials contained in Jiuyang Pill?
The corners of Jin Gui's mouth twitched, and a sense of unease faintly rose in his heart.
Jiang Xia finally said with a smile: "After calculating the cost, I'm afraid that each pill will cost fifty taels of silver." ”
"Fifty taels?" Jin Gui exclaimed, fifty taels and one bottle, one bottle of seven is three hundred and fifty taels, four bottles are one thousand four hundred taels, and sixteen bottles are five thousand six hundred taels.
Jin Gui couldn't help but shout, "Why don't you grab it?"
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "My lord, it is obviously easier to have such a panacea in your hands than to rob it, so why do you need to grab it?"
"Li Binzhi!" Jin Gui looked at Li Dongyang and called out his words in a deep voice.
Li Dongyang smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "It's not impossible to give it to you, but I remember that your Ministry of Rites can specially approve a few students from the Guozi Prison to enter the palace examination directly." It just so happens that Jiang Xia has a few friends in the same class who have not been able to enter the top 20 of the National Prison, so I hope you can do me a small favor. ”
When Jiang Xia heard this, he suddenly shouted in his heart: "Master is high." ”
In the last Guozijian internal examination, they won the top 20 places in the day shift. However, there were eight people who could only rank outside the twenty, and they could not directly enter the temple examination, and they had to go to one class to take the examination first.
Jiang Xia couldn't think of a way to help them, but he didn't expect Li Dongyang to seize the opportunity to ask Jin Gui for help.
