Madame Bovary Reborn

The next evening Charles returned from Rouen duly, new clothes apparently in his bag, and he was wearing an old suit.Emma went to pick him up with no displeasure on her face, but Charles murmured: "I'm afraid I'll get my new clothes dirty." After speaking, he quickly explained: "I wore them when I went to the pharmacy." Emma didn't agree He didn't plan to transform him successfully in one go, and he was infinitely tolerant to him, so he just smiled and said, "You're tired, let's go home for dinner first." Charles obediently followed behind his wife, with nothing but a fashionable leather bag in his hand , also carrying a big bag.

For dinner, there was Charles' favorite beef with onions. It was carefully cooked all afternoon, and the aroma was very attractive.There is also fresh yellow cheese delivered from the store, but Emma always limits him to eat two pieces at a time for his health.Obese doctors will not be trusted by patients.While devouring his meal, Charles told Emma what happened in Rouen.Emma saw him like this, as if she had been hungry for several days, and hurriedly ordered Nataxi to bring another chicken pie that she had prepared, which was originally intended to be breakfast for him.Charles' eyes lit up, Emma stood up and poured him a glass of orange wine, and then asked, "Didn't you stay at the hotel?" Charles shook his head, and said honestly, "I went to the place where I went to school. , the landlord at the time still remembered me, so he just made do with it for one night.” Emma brought him 170 francs, which was enough for him to spend comfortably for a day and a night, but apparently the doctor didn’t enjoy it recklessly.Look at the way he is eating, Emma is nibbling on hazelnuts, waiting for him to finish his meal before continuing to ask: "What did the people in the pharmacy say?" Charles replied while wiping his mouth: "They said that we need to give more For the medicine, I just said that there is no more, they are very anxious, but there is nothing they can do." This is what Emma said, and Emma nodded after listening.Charles stood up, picked up the big bag on the side of the table leg, and then began to place the same things on the dining table, there were quite a few!There are small bottles of cologne fruit perfume, Bavarian red velvet shawls, rose-red soft satin slippers, silk bathrobes embroidered with flowers, light purple velvet robes, fully trimmed with four laces, and gold silk satin A hardcover book, full of girly fantasies!There are round straw hats with leopard prints, which are suitable for Genoa beach vacations, and small crocodile leather satchels, which seem to be popular styles from Paris, small Dutch windmills, and wine chocolates from Marseilles.Emma looked at Charles affectionately, his face blushed, and he stammered, "I saw it, and I think you might like it..." Emma stood up, hugged him gently, with a very touching expression The voice said: "Thank you, my dear, I like it very much." It is conceivable that he was saving money in Rouen, just to save the money to buy her these charming baubles.Charles had been worried that Emma would complain that he wasted money, but the desire to please her overcame everything.Sure enough, she was so happy, and it was not in vain. He walked so many streets, searched so many shops, and more importantly, he had enough money at his disposal. Just like his former classmates, he could also spend a lot of money on his women up.This sense of satisfaction filled his whole body, and there was nothing more fulfilling than this.

Two days later, the Bovary family welcomed a mysterious guest.He is travel-stained, well-dressed, and the horse he rides looks very handsome.Nataxi had never received such high-end guests, and she acted timidly and tremblingly. Emma couldn't see it very much, and finally made up her mind to replace her.The guests sat in the living room drinking rose tea made by the hostess herself, waiting patiently.Nataxi tremblingly told the hostess the origin of the guest. It turned out to be the third shopkeeper of the Rouen pharmacy, named Bin Sey.Emma went back to the room and changed into a ginger-yellow wide-length dress with four pleats. Nataxi had never seen her dressed so formally, and her voice involuntarily lowered a little.When Emma came out, Mr. Spencer obviously didn't expect to have such an outstanding wife in such a remote place. Looking at the diamond watch on her hand, and the jasper-encrusted hair comb, he couldn't help but restrain himself a little. Very contemptuous.

"Sir, please sit down." Emma smiled and sat down too. Nataxi consciously sent a plate of almond cookies and added a cup of coffee to his wife.Bin Saiai said: "It's really disturbing to come here today." This is a polite word, and Emma will accept it after hearing it.Sure enough, Bin Sey continued in a hurry, "It's just that the supply of toddler pills and toddler oil that Mr. Bovary supplies to our store is in short supply, so I came here to discuss with you." Emma couldn't help laughing after hearing this. : "My husband has business, and I can make the decision...Mr. Binsayer has come from a long way, why not try our dessert first. It is homemade almonds and butter, and it tastes good." She was so generous that she immediately believed her words.Now that we have found someone who is in charge of the house, it is easy to discuss this matter.He galloped all the way here, and he didn't tip his tip. He was really hungry. He ate a piece of cookie first, praised the crunchy sweetness, and smiled bitterly: "Tuo Te Wan is very effective. Although it didn't do anything at first, I don't know how to get it in later." With the insight of these young ladies, with their publicity, their reputation is getting better and better. Later, there are a lot of people who come to the store to buy, and we don’t have much stock, so we have to explain to the customers that the supply is limited, but some wives It’s not the master we can offend, he insists that we find the medicine quickly, so..." Emma heard it, and it was exactly as she expected. Naturally, there is no doubt about the magical effect of grape seeds, otherwise Huanyanchun would not be great It's a bargain, but it's not time for her to express her opinion, so she always has to listen to the price of the other party.

Seeing that the young woman in front of him remained motionless, Bin Saiai smiled politely, but did not intend to solve the problem at all, instead she refilled a cup of hot tea with good manners, and he immediately understood that he had encountered someone who was in trouble.So it doesn't matter if you don't mention the seven or eight layers of twists and turns in your stomach, since you are here to ask for help, you must show some sincerity, and he said: "I forgot to tell my wife. The consignment fee for special pills and tote oil has been reduced to [-]%." Emma originally planned to lower the agency fee so that her family could earn more, but she was shocked when she heard what Bin Sai said.Being able to drop [-]% easily, but I didn't even bother to talk, it can be seen that the matter is already very urgent.The pharmacy has been able to sit firmly in the prosperous place of Rouen for so many years, and it is considered to be relatively powerful. Today, it is forced to be like this, which shows the strength of the people behind it.Now that he has been targeted, this matter will not be settled easily, who knows if it will cause fire in the future.Things might be troublesome, and her instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages made her decide that it would be better to take the opportunity to sell the prescription of Tuote Pills, and forget it once and for all.As for the tote oil, she immediately decided to stop supplying it. The big place is too dangerous. Sooner or later, people will see that it is exactly the same as Huanyanchun's formula. Why don't you go back and discuss it with Mrs. Linda, and only sell it in units below the town. Small profits can also sell more.

At dusk, Spencer left Todt very satisfied, but Madame Bovary was such a straightforward person that she sold him the prescription directly!Oh silly woman, doesn't she know that the prescription will be an endless cash cow!But there is still a little regret, the prescription of toddler oil has not been obtained, it seems that Madame Bovary also saved a hand, but maybe she is not lying, she really does not have the prescription, otherwise, how could the supply be stopped? ?Of course, what is taken from others cannot be the master.Bin Ceier successfully completed the task and went back to Rouen in a very happy mood.

At dinner time, Charles came out of the consultation room. He didn't know that there was a visitor at all.Emma told Charles that she would no longer have to go to Rouen to deliver pills, and she had already sold the prescription to the pharmacy.Charles has always listened to Emma's opinions, so naturally he has no intention of objecting.Emma saw that he was so calm, so she put a check in front of him, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you made this prescription entirely, so that it works so well." , but Shire added a few other things according to the Pharmacopoeia, which ensured the activity of the whitening ingredients very well. This check is indeed his credit.Charles lowered his head to eat the potato, and said vaguely, "You just keep it." Emma motioned him to take a look. Charles wiped his hands, picked it up and took a closer look. He was almost shocked, and it was eight thousand francs. !With so much money, he thought it would be a great deal to sell it for a few hundred francs.Emma said: "The prescription has been given to them, and they can set the price at will! Anyway, those noble people have plenty of money, so they don't care about these expenses at all." Charles nodded and shook his head: "The price of our Tuote pills is not high. Ah, it’s not okay for them to raise the price at will, right?” Emma couldn’t help laughing: “You’re an honest man, they can definitely make another new drug! Let’s just say that the tote pills are out of stock, and we won’t buy them in the future. Is it all right if you don't sell it?" Xia Er suddenly realized, his face was a little red.Emma looked at him, smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with honest people, I just like honest people." Charles' face turned even redder.

The plan was to invite a few neighbors over for dinner over the weekend.Emma solemnly mentioned to Xia Er about dismissing Nataxi, because a maid who is slowing down is very fatal when preparing a dinner party.Nataxi was Shire's first patient, and she has been here for several years. Shire is a nostalgic person.Emma is well aware of his reluctance, but this kind of indecision is really not beneficial.For Shire's sake, Emma paid Natacido half a year's salary.Charles felt a little disappointed, and then Emma took him to discuss the dinner menu. After half the night, Charles forgot about Nataxi.

Emma didn't trust Toth's agent, and wrote Teresa, asking her to help choose two young girls from the farm.Teresa was a little worried about whether it would affect the newlyweds. After all, she was a young girl... The son-in-law is at a young age. Although the lady is impeccable, as a man, he really can't be too trusting.In the end Teresa chose two ordinary-looking girls who were quick at work. They had already obtained the consent of their parents or brothers and sisters-in-law to work as servants in Toth's uncle's house, and the salary was paid by Berto Grange every month.Emma didn't expect Teresa to be so thoughtful, but she didn't stingy to refuse, but the package sent to Nino every month has been enriched a lot.

The new girl was about the same age as Emma, ​​but according to Charles, Emma was a thousand times older than them.Probably because of the marriage, he thought so, and didn't look carefully at the appearance of the girls.He was fascinated by Emma, ​​and he really couldn't let go of other women.Emma is very satisfied with Teresa's vision, Louise is very good at needlework and cleaning, and Carla is a good hand at farm work and cooking.So Emma put on a white apron for Louise and asked her to clean the house, while Carla took care of the vegetable patch in the garden with her.
