Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Chapter 55 Xue Baochai 1

Mingxi returned to the underworld, pushed open the door of the crossing department and walked in. The room was quiet, and he didn't even see a ghost.

She received the reward issued by the system, and was about to go back to her lounge to sleep when the head of her family came back, and then she kicked into the small world and continued to work hard.

Mingxi opened his eyes in a daze, and a beautiful lady rushed over and hugged her crying: "Bao'er, you finally woke up, you are so frightened to death."

Mingxi hasn't accepted the memory yet, but seeing her crying so sadly, she still couldn't help stretching out her chubby paws to wipe her tears: "Mom, I'm fine, don't be sad."

The little girl was probably seriously ill. After finishing these two sentences, Ming Xi couldn't help coughing so hard that it took a long time to recover.After Mingxi closed his eyes to receive the memory, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that Haofeng sent me to Qingyun's elder sister Bao with his strength.

She came early, her cheap father Xue Xun is still alive, and her elder brother Xue Pan, who is called the Overlord, is still a chubby six-year-old boy. Still relatively well behaved.

Baochai was only three years old at the moment, and the Xue family was at its peak at this time, and even the young lady of the prefect's family in Jinling had to give her three points when they went out to a banquet.

A few days ago, the little girl accidentally fell into the water while playing in the garden, it was only because of the gossip in the back house.Xue Xun loved Baochai very much, and in a fit of anger sold the concubine who was in favor of the trickster directly.

Baochai's illness was good or bad, and all the doctors in Jinling City had been invited, but the cough became more and more serious.Baochai thought about it in her heart, and estimated that the prescription of Lengxiangwan came at this time.

But Baochai didn't want to eat Laoshizi's Lengxiang pills, so she checked her pulse, and it turned out that the cough turned into bronchopneumonia after a long period of time.The health-preserving pills and honey pills for coughs that she picked up from the space.

Xue Xun invited a famous doctor from Jiangnan this time, and Baochai took a peek at his prescription. There were two brushes, and with the medicine she added, she soon recovered from her illness.

Xue Xun was overjoyed, and gave the famous doctor a bulging purse. The famous doctor was also very satisfied, and when he turned to leave, Baochai said cutely: "Father, let this famous doctor show you too, You see that you have lost a lot of weight recently, Bao'er is really worried about Daddy."

Xue Xun originally wanted to say that his father had taken a good care of the doctor, but seeing his daughter's round eyes were full of worry, and his heart was warm, so he took the initiative to hand out his arm.

As soon as the old doctor felt the pulse, his face was a little dignified: "Does Master Xue usually feel tightness in his chest and can't breathe?"

Xue Xun's heart skipped a beat: "It's true, but it's not obvious. I thought it was because I was tired, and Xiexie can usually be relieved."

The old doctor went on and on a lot: "Your heart disease is already very serious. Fortunately, it is not too late to discover it. You need to take care of it calmly. If it is a few years later, you may be in danger of sudden death. It is considered a good treatment." , will also affect the longevity."

After sending the old doctor away, Xue Xun invited several well-known doctors in the south of the Yangtze River to diagnose the pulse, but the results were the same, so he needed to recuperate quietly.

Xue Xun sighed, looked at the bewildered fat son and the worried daughter, and finally decided to close the Xue family's business as soon as possible. No matter how much money you earn, what's the use of losing your life?

Except for the shop in Jinling, most of the Xue family's business has been resold one after another, and Xue Xun does not run around everywhere.He recuperates at home every day, so he has a lot of time to teach Xue Pan and Baochai.

Xue Xun used to travel around all the year round, Xue Pan was used to eating too much and being lazy by Aunt Xue, and he hadn't formally enlightened at the age of six. On the contrary, Baochai, who is two years younger than him, can already recite the thousand-character prose and a hundred family names fluently.

As long as Xue Xun asked Xue Pan about his homework, he would be really angry. This guy is better at eating, drinking and having fun than anyone else, and he is dumbfounded when he reads.

Xue Pan was also wronged, his father beat him with a ruler every day, he recited the memorization, if he didn't memorize it, he can't be blamed entirely.Who can remember so many words?

Xue Baochai saw that it was impossible for Xue Xun to be half-dead all day, so he quickly poured him a cup of tea, and while pouring the tea, he added half of the Lingquan water and handed it to Xue Xun: "Father, don't be angry, drink tea, drink tea. Let me teach my brother."

Xue Pan nodded hurriedly: "Let my sister teach, my sister taught me well, I remember what I taught me yesterday."

Xue Xun glared at him: "Look how promising you are, your sister is younger than you and can learn faster than you, are you ashamed?"

Xue Pan scratched his head: "It's not like you don't know that my sister has been smart since she was a child, so let her be my master and teach me."

Xue Xun knew that he was short-tempered, so he beat and scolded as soon as he saw him, but Xue Pan just couldn't learn it.He simply threw Xue Pan to Baochai.

Baochai used carrots and sticks, and Xue Pan loved to eat and play, so she hung him with delicious and fun ones.Coaxing and boasting, Xue Pan felt that it was very comfortable to study with Baochai, and Baochai would not scold him or beat him, but praised him.

Although Xue Pan was a bit of a fool, he was filial and loved his younger sister Baochai.He would sometimes talk back to Xue Xun, but as long as Baochai looked at him adoringly, he would do anything.

Isn't it just memorizing and practicing calligraphy? My sister said that he is actually very smart. As long as he is willing to learn, he can learn nothing slower than others.

Baochai coaxed Xue Pan, giving him memory-enhancing medicine from time to time, but this guy was really stupid.

In a month and a half, Xue Pan memorized the thousand-character prose and hundreds of surnames, and recognized a lot of characters.

Xue Xun's health is well taken care of. The old doctor he hired said that after half a year's treatment, his illness will basically be fine. As long as he doesn't get tired in the future, it won't affect his lifespan.The old doctor tactfully reminded him that this sick man was too sick to cultivate himself, Xue Xun blushed at that moment, and the villain in the pseudo-loli Baochai laughed rollingly.It didn't take long for Xue Xun's delicate concubines to be dismissed by Aunt Xue looking for reasons.

Xue Xun's illness has always been kept a secret. Some time ago, Baochai fell into the water and fell ill, and their family hired doctors all over the city. Everyone in Jinling City knew about it.

This time, Aunt Xue sent Xue Xun's concubines far away. Many people privately said that the girl from the Wang family was tough and Xue Xun was an asshole.

Some people also said that there was a problem with the Xue family's business. The evidence is that Xue Xun transferred many businesses a few days ago.In the past, their Xue family had business houses all over the country, as well as their own caravans, and even fleets, but now they have all transferred.

Xue Xun didn't pay attention to what other people said, and just focused on taking care of his body at home and teaching his two children.Without those Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard, the relationship between Xue Xun and Aunt Xue became better.

Aunt Xue's appearance was already very good, otherwise she would not have given birth to a girl as beautiful as Baochai.When Baochai secretly took care of Xue Xun's body, she didn't forget Aunt Xue. She put Lingquan water, nourishing pills, Zhuyan pills...all the medicines that could be secretly put into the soup.

Aunt Xue's skin is tenderer than those [-]-year-old girls when she goes out without makeup. Xue Xun is reluctant to let go of her in his arms. The couple are as sticky as paint, stickier than when they were newly married.

Xue's family used to be rich, but the stalls were too large. Some businesses made money, but the turnaround time was too long, so it was not worthwhile.

Now Xue Xun has stopped all those businesses, leaving only Jinling's good cloth shops, silver houses, restaurants, rouge and gouache shops, and grocery stores.

Although Baochai is young, she loves reading very much, regardless of whether she understands it or not, anyway, she often goes to Xue Xun's study to rummage.

Xue Xun traveled all over the world, and had dealings with foreigners. Baochai dug out several books in foreign languages ​​in his study, as well as travel notes written by people who had sailed across the sea.

There are many prescriptions in her space, and the system says they are collections from previous lives.Baochai wrote the recipes for making soap, scented soap, cream, and glass on a sheepskin roll with a quill, and then made it old and hid it in the interlayer of the cover of a travel book.

As soon as Xue Xun entered the study that day, he saw Baochai poking out his little buttocks and picking up books, and couldn't help laughing: "You little naughty, did you reach for the books on tiptoe and drag them all down?"

Baochai looked at her fingers embarrassingly: "I just wasn't careful, Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely put them all away."

Xue Xun walked over to help her tidy up the books and put them back on the bookshelf. As a result, the cover of a book fell apart, and a parchment fell down.

Baochai picked up the parchment: "Father, this paper is so thick, what is written so densely?"

Xue Xun took the parchment in her hand and said with a smile: "This kind of paper is made of parchment, so it's very thick. Dad, check it says... Oh, is this true or not?"

Baochai tugged at his arm anxiously: "Father, what is written on it? Tell me quickly."

Xue Xun pointed to the prescription on it and read it to Baochai: "Why don't I see it as reliable? This oil can be used to make soap, wash clothes, and wash face. It doesn't sound very reliable."

Baochai rolled her eyes: "It's not credible, let's give it a try. Let's try it secretly. If it works, tell mother. If it doesn't work, throw this piece of paper away."

Xue Xun was right when he thought about it. Anyway, the things he used were not expensive, so he might as well give it a try.

Xue Xun asked people to prepare the raw materials, led Baochai and Xue Pan, and drove out all the people in the small kitchen in Aunt Xue's yard.The three closed the door, Xue Pan lit the fire, and Baochai memorized the steps. After memorizing the steps, he told Xue Xun what to put first and what to put next, and Xue Xun did it himself.

After working hard for more than half an hour, the three of them finally boiled the soap liquid, then poured it into the prepared mold, and put it in a cool place to wait for it to take shape.

Xue Xun just had the attitude of giving it a try, so he didn't hope to succeed once.After a few days, Baochai dragged him to the small room where the soap was kept: "Father, it looks like it's done, should we try it?"

Xue Xun picked up the mold and knocked it hard, and the splashing soap pieces fell to the ground.Baochai picked up a piece of soap: "Find me some dirty clothes and let me try."

Finally, I found a piece of clothing that Xue Pan had stained with blood and oil before. I wiped it with soap and rubbed it lightly with my hands, and it was cleaned immediately.

Xue Xun immediately realized that this was a big business opportunity, soap, who doesn't wash clothes?The cost of this thing is very low, and according to the prescription, it can be made into soap exclusively for wealthy families by adding various essential oils and fragrances.

Although Xue Xun was very anxious, there was a note on the back of the prescription. It is best to open a workshop and separate the steps. Each group of craftsmen only does one process, so that even if one of the processes is leaked, it will not have any harm to the workshop. what effect.

Xue Xun thought about changing Xue's rouge shop into selling soap and scented soap, and changing a big village in the west of the city into a soap workshop.

This job does not require much technical content, it only needs to be honest and capable.Xue Xun didn't use family slaves, all of them were bought from Ren Yazi, taciturn and honest.

He divided all the steps into five steps, and bought thirty servants who signed a death contract.Then divide them into five groups of six people.

It is not difficult to learn these things by teaching them hand in hand, and they will be able to get started soon.

After getting proficient, the speed is getting faster and faster.There is no need to worry about raw materials. When the grocery store purchases goods, it directly prepares enough stocks for the needs in large quantities.

In addition, a large number of molds of various shapes are needed. Xue Xun found a familiar skilled craftsman and ordered a large number directly.
