Daming Grocer

Today, a distinguished guest came to the palace. He is sick and needs to be recuperated. "Qijian looked at the prescription and hummed casually and asked: "Where is the distinguished guest from the Prince of Shu's mansion?" "It's the Princess Huayue of the Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan who came to visit, and I don't know what to do after traveling thousands of miles to Shu."The current situation has been very chaotic recently, and various rumors are flying all over the sky, perhaps it has something to do with it. " After Dr. Liu finished speaking, he went to burn the building with his hands behind his back.

As if Qijian was struck by lightning, Mu Haitang, Princess of Huayue, has come to Sichuan!This is no coincidence.

Money and time are limited. Qijian has been patrolling the firing room day and night recently. The ingredients in the recipe are roughly correct. She has already thought of animal oil for the oil, and now she is just testing the proportions.

Another five or six days later, Qijian stayed up until dawn last night before going to bed. Now that his feet were still warm, he heard someone knocking on the door.Hua Niang tucked the quilt up for her distressedly, not allowing her to move: "You are asleep, I'll go and take a look." The door opened, and the guy outside rushed in: "Little Qiye! It's done! We're done! "

Qijian sat up in response, still a little confused: "What happened?"

"Didn't you say that the saponin blocks produced by burning have no impurities and can be insoluble overnight by putting them on the stove? Come and see, Xiao Qiye!" Get out of bed, grab your clothes and put them on.Hua Niang gave her a reproachful look: "The more messy, the faster it will be, it's almost this moment, I'm so good to stand, I'll put it on for you."

Qijian dragged Huaniang all the way into the firing room, and saw that the saponins poured out of a petal mold on the stove had a crystal clear light yellow color, and the aroma could be heard from afar.Walked over slowly, picked up the soap locust and shook it in his hand, looked around at all the expectant eyes, and then nodded: "It's done."

The guys all screamed with excitement, and Qijian smiled and nodded from the bottom of his heart.After all, God did not fail her, the silver taels given by Boss Wu had almost just been used up, and the time was just right, Erxi and Delai should be able to come over in a few more days.

Boss Wu and Dr. Liu rushed over when they got the news. Boss Wu recognized it at a glance, and Dr. Liu nodded excitedly after dipping the saponins in water and washing his hands: "That's right! That's what I want! Keeping promises is a genius!" Qijian With a humble smile: "Without the great help of Mr. and Boss Wu, this thing would not be formed." Boss Wu immediately ordered his servants to purchase materials, firing techniques, recipes and heat according to the order from Qijian. He is not interested, as long as he can sell things to make money.

In the blink of an eye, a few days later, Boss Wu's medicated soap became famous in Chengdu, and the merchants who passed by here gradually learned about this product, and began to bring back small batches.The Qijian shop ran two places, and the silver was distributed to Huaniang. The first thing Huaniang thought about with the money was to make this man fatter, but no matter what, there were too many chores, no matter what to feed her. What a delicacy, the body still does not see the flesh.

In the evening of this day, Hua Niang and Aunt Sun discussed the matter of selling the sisters' Shu embroidery in a shop in the town after they moved to the town. She agrees.Just as he was asking Little Huzi if he wanted to go to school, he heard the courtyard door being slapped. Aunt Sun got up to open the door, and Hua Niang took the opportunity to squeeze her face with her hands: "You are good at drinking, don't drink too much, it hurts your stomach." .” Before she could put her hand down, she heard someone calling at the door: “Miss!”

Looking up, Hong'er stood there with two lines of tears, crying and laughing at the same time, Er Xi and Fu Lai following behind were not much better, both with tears in their eyes.

Several people narrated the friendship between master and servant for one night, they were all choked up, and no longer elaborated.

When people come, the house has to be officially moved. The house in the town is rented by Boss Wu. Because Qijian and Huaniang's household registrations are vague, and the road discs are fake. look.One is from Yuxi, a woman from the Shen family, and the other is from Jiaofang, who is a prostitute. Although they look stable, they are always frightened.

Fudelai was taken for a few days, he learned it immediately, and memorized the formula, so Qijian no longer had to run around.Erxi and Hong'er followed Huaniang in the Shu embroidery shop, and slowly started to learn.The days seem to have settled down, Qi Jian comes to the shop to drink tea when he is free, watching Hua Niang introduce Shu embroidery to the eldest girl and the younger daughter-in-law, feeling warm in his heart.I often laugh silly when I see this scene, but what I get in return is often an anger with love.

It was raining today, and the shop was a bit quieter. Several people sat and chatted in the shop after eating in the backyard. After a while, a carriage stopped in front of the shop, the maids held umbrellas, and the servants spread carpets.Several people in the room were stunned, and Aunt Sun who came to deliver the goods was even more surprised: "Which distinguished guest is this? This..."

Qijian squeezed the lid of the teacup so hard that he could almost guess who it was.She was lucky before, but now that she thinks about it carefully, even if she is a princess, she is also a woman. If she didn't have a deep hatred, she would not have entered Shu alone.

Hua Niang saw that her hands were shaking, so she covered them.No matter what, she has to bear it with her.

The princess walked into the store in a white moon brocade robe, looked at Qijian for a long time, and then walked to the side of Xinhang Shuxiu, with a steady but cold voice: "Shop, how do you sell this?" She didn't give up her hand, the dignified princess, she didn't need to go out in person if she needed anything, this was not for shopping, but for her, she was sure.When they looked at each other just now, that gaze might seem as calm as water to outsiders, but she saw the turbulence in the depths.

Hua Niang couldn't get up, Er Xi hurried over to answer, she was about to speak, but was stopped by the woman beside: "You don't need to answer, let your master answer." Hua Niang shook Qi Jian's hand vigorously to signal her peace of mind, He got up and walked over and replied: "This is the best of Sichuan brocade embroidery. If you go to another house, guest officer, I don't need to say more."

The princess recognized the woman, who was the person who passed her by at Jin's shop that day.And the person she was looking for was sitting there solemnly, with his back stiffened, as if facing a formidable enemy.It is indeed like facing a great enemy. Tang Daofei sent a letter, and the Yuxi government sent a letter to the Yunnan government, saying that the suspect at altitude was found in Chengdu, and it was she who was trustworthy.

I don't know where this person got the confidence to sit here calmly. Shouldn't he be careful to hide and keep a low profile as much as possible?The medicated soap sold very well, and Shen Qiye's name was well known to her.

pick up five times

The sound of the rain outside the house was getting louder, and the guards standing around the store door made the already rare pedestrians even more afraid to look here.Someone moved a chair and cleaned it, Princess Huayue stood for a while before sitting down.The chair is facing Qijian, leaving her nowhere to hide.The situation was so weird that Aunt Sun couldn't sit still at first, so she found a little tiger who was worried about the rain and was alone at home, and left first, and then Erxi and Hong'er were sent to the backyard by Huaniang's winking.Both she and Qijian understood that the princess wanted to talk to Qijian alone, but she felt guilty in her heart, as if she would lose something slowly if she gave in.

In the end, if you don't let it go, you have to let it go. The princess sat there holding a fan and leisurely, neither anxious nor impatient, and didn't speak.In the end, Qijian couldn't get over the aura, so he sighed low and leaned into Huaniang's ear: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. You go in to appease the two little girls, and tell them not to panic, and send a man to Nanzhuang to burn it." Fang told Delai to come back earlier today."

Hua Niang hesitated and hesitated, and finally listened to Qijian's words, lifted Luoshan lightly, and walked back to the backyard at every step.

After everyone left, Mrs. Hu also went out with an umbrella and walked to the store next door.As soon as she went out, the guards on the left and right closed the store door.

Qijian personally brewed a cup of tea and served it, then bowed his head and knelt down on one knee: "Shen Qijian, a grass-roots man, has met the princess." Qijian didn't expect to hear the gift of getting her up immediately, and the princess was silent all the time. The lid rattles, as if savoring the cup of tea carefully.

"It is often said that there is spiritual energy in the land of Shu. After a few days away, your complexion is ruddy and your spirit is much better. It turns out that you can talk and your voice is low, which is quite good." The princess's voice is gentle, as if she really cared Like a husband I haven't seen for a long time.Qijian was terrified, bent down even more, and said, "Shen Shouxin's previous crimes were all persecuted by Yu's family. At that time, his voice was silenced by medicine, so he couldn't speak clearly. The princess clearly noticed."

Princess Huayue didn't move too much after hearing this, because she understood that this was also an excuse.But she didn't blame her, although Shen Shouxin was good at writing, but at that time, life and death were at stake, and no one dared to make mistakes easily.After a hmm, Qijian was silent again. Seeing that she didn't seem to care about this matter, Qijian was puzzled for a while, and wanted to raise his head to take a look at this person's expression, but when he raised his head, he met a pair of smiling eyes.This smile was neither scary nor cold, but rather childish.

The two looked at each other inexplicably for a while, and the princess suddenly leaned towards Qijian, making it too late for her to retreat, so she had to suffer from the fragrance.Blushing and lowering her head, she heard the Princess whisper softly, "How about going back to Yunnan with me?"

Qijian didn't know why she asked such a question. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure out why, so she shook her head, "I've never been lucky enough to escape for a lifetime, and now I'm in your hands. You want to kill me." If I want to scratch, I am powerless to fight. I was born knowing that I will be alone, and it will be the same wherever I die, so I don’t need to go back to Yunnan.”

The house was so quiet that only the sound of rain falling on the eaves could be heard. Qi Jian had already given up on supporting himself, but thinking of Hua Niang, he said: "One person does things and one person is responsible. The people around me have nothing to do with this matter. It's not easy to live in this world, and Wang Junzhu sees that we are also in Yunnan..." Speaking of this, Qijian suddenly felt a burst of warmth covering the back of his neck.If I'm not mistaken, this is, the Princess is stroking her, gently stroking like an elder comforting a frightened junior.

"Some things, you will understand why you have to go through it. You are the person next to me. From the moment I started looking for you, you paid attention
