Talk About Love, Go Away! - Chapter 30
Magnolia was taken to Xinzheku, this is where the lowest-ranking palace servants in the palace work, and the punished palace servants like Yulan are doing the hardest work inside, The daily task is not to brush the bucket or to wash the clothes.
In just a few days, Yulan had several blood blisters on her delicate hands beside Princess Zhaoyang, and her whole body was quite haggard.
“She is the palace maid who used to be by the princess’ side. She doesn’t look very good. I’ve been hungry for a few days.
“You’re still smart and have a way to treat her. I think she can’t even clean a bucket. She’s clumsy. Don’t even think about eating today.”
Speaking, the two old wives spat melon seeds on the ground and laughed happily.
The reason why Magnolia came here is known to the entire Xinzheku palace.
There is no shortage of people with broken mouths everywhere, especially when they see Yulan, a high-level palace maid that they never dared to think about before, now it is difficult to see her, with some kind of For psychological reasons, there are many people who come to ridicule.
.
Therefore, on the first day Yulan came here, she made trouble when she was deliberately arranged to do the dirtiest work, but she forgot that she was no longer the same as she used to be, and got a beating , and now the corners of the mouth are still bruised.
Magnolia heard the voices of the long-tongued women behind her, holding back the gas in her stomach, resisting the stench and the piercing cold wind, and shivering with cold water to continue flushing the toilet, if she can’t finish it today, She still has to be hungry.
Such difficult days may be every day in the future of Magnolia.
…
The Chinese New Year is celebrated in the capital city and even all parts of the forest country, including the severely affected Jiangnan area. Live the new year happily.
Father Mu, who had dealt with the flood, should have returned to Beijing, but because so many officials have been sacked here in Jiangnan, there are not enough manpower, and secondly, Father Mu has performed very well in disaster relief, and the people are reluctant to let him The country is for the people, Mr. Mu.
Jiangnan officials were able to stay in Jiangnan and practice their plans.
“Mr. Mu, this is the dish that we grew at home, but it’s fresh. You can take it back and try it.”
“Sir, this is an egg, you take it.”
“Sir, this is our pickled…”
Every time Mufu and his colleagues who worked in disaster relief go out, they will always encounter some enthusiastic people who put their own or pickled food into their hands. Valuable things, but also represent their most simple heart.
Mufu and others said several times that they would not accept it, and some people secretly put things at the entrance of the county government office. In desperation, Mufu simply built a porridge next to the county government office. shed, and cook some porridge every day for homeless beggars with the things sent by the common people.
It can be said that it is taken from the people and used for the people.
What Mufu did, even the people in the capital heard about it. After the Mu family received the letter from Mufu, although they regretted that they could not be reunited for the Spring Festival, they were also for Mufu I feel happy, and I am even more grateful to Princess Zhaoyang who has the kindness of support.
If there is no recommendation from Princess Zhaoyang, who would know that Mufu is so talented in water control?
Sent to the Imperial Palace together with the letter from the family, as well as Mufu’s year-end summary report.
inside.
On the one hand, it is more convenient for Ming Yaodi to control the places, and on the other hand, it is used for archiving.
It was the end of the year when the appointed imperial decree was sent, and it was long overdue for Father Mu’s summary report to be delivered, as the Lantern Festival was approaching.
Emperor Ming Yao was actually a little surprised by what Mufu did in Jiangnan. It was indeed a rare thing to be able to control the floods so quickly, place the victims properly, and control the overall situation in an orderly manner. talent.
Lin Zhenzhen next to him could see the satisfaction in Emperor Mingyao’s eyes at a glance, “Father, how is your daughter, Bole?”
Emperor Ming Yao picked up the cinnabar pen, put the word “read” on it, and said with a smile, “It can be said to be a discerning eye, quite the style of his father.”
Ming Yaodi said, put the reviewed book into Li Quan’s hand, and asked him to send it away and put it away, “If you have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, let’s talk, if you have anything else to ask the emperor for help?”
Lin Zhenzhen took a bite of the pastry on Emperor Mingyao’s table, and her speech was a little slurred, “Is your son so obvious?”
Emperor Ming Yao was afraid that Lin Zhenzhen would choke too fast, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it over, “Eat slowly, don’t choke.” Then he continued, “Small eyes are rolling around. , the widow can see it at a glance.”
Emperor Ming Yao said with a smile, “In order to reward your ‘Bole’, tell me, do you want me to help?”
Lin Zhenzhen only saw the unique style of the pastries in Ming Yaodi’s hand, so she took a sip, drank the tea and swallowed what was in her mouth, “Daughter, this is not to open a small shop, there is a lack of calligraphy Everyone writes the plaque, who in the world can compare the words of the father and the emperor.”
Even if Emperor Ming Yao knew that Lin Zhenzhen was just saying nice things to coax him, but the speaker was his own daughter, Emperor Ming Yao still felt at ease, motioned Li Quan to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, “But Want a stamp?”
Lin Zhenzhen nodded like a chicken pecking, “I want it!”
Finally, Lin Zhenzhen asked the best master in Beijing to make a plaque out of sycamore wood, covered it with red cloth, and hung it above the door of the soon-to-open rouge shop. Pull off the red cloth on the opening day.
“Your Highness,” Qian Qianrong, who came to check the last matter, walked inside and came out with a bit of high spirits during her actions, “Why are you here, do you want to go in and have a look?”
“This palace has to go back, so I won’t go up to sit,” It was too late, and Lin Zhenzhen hurried back to the palace, “Are you ready for everything we discussed?”
In a short period of time, Qian Qianrong’s whole person seemed to be reborn, a little childish and a little more capable.
Hearing Lin Zhenzhen’s questioning, Qian Qianrong couldn’t help showing a smile when she thought of their arrangement, and said, “Everything is ready, the whole capital will know the name of our Beauty Pavilion.”
These words, Qian Qianrong did not say it casually, a few days later, the “advertising” they made also officially started.
Taohong is a maid in the Hou Mansion. In the past, she served in front of her master. She only had one day off a month to go home and send back some of her monthly silver. At home, by the way, meet your parents, younger siblings, and reunite.
This day, as usual, Taohong came out of the corner door and walked towards her house. On the way, she passed her favorite noodle restaurant, touched the money in her pocket, turned around and walked in , “Boss, want a bowl of beef noodles!”
“Okay, sir, wait a minute!”
Peach Hong sat on the wooden bench and noticed that the bamboo tube on which the chopsticks were placed on the wooden table had the three characters “Beauty Pavilion” written next to it with gold powder. The pattern, as well as a few patterns of rouge gouache, Tao Hong felt that it was novel, so she looked at it a few more times and didn’t take it seriously.
Soon, the noodles came up, Taohong couldn’t wait to pick up a few noodles with chopsticks and was about to put them into her mouth.
Other noodle eaters came one after another, and they also saw the words on the bamboo tube, and asked the boss, the boss replied that it was the boss of Lirenge who said they would use their shop to advertise and give it to them for free of.
Taohong quickly finished eating the noodles, and when she was ready to get up after paying the bill, she saw a group of children walking from the other side of the alley. They looked like they were no more than six or seven years old. The team in the column held a small flag in his hand, and it also painted the pattern she just saw on the bamboo tube.
The boy’s voice was not small, and he shouted clearly: “The opening ceremony of Liren Pavilion, rouge and gouache are all available, and a wooden comb will be given when you spend ten taels, and a wooden comb will be given when you spend one hundred taels. One lipstick, limited quantity, first come first served!”
mean.
“What is this advertisement and lipstick,” someone said curiously, “Do you really send a wooden comb when you reach ten taels?”
“It seems to be true, shall we go and see?”
Peach Hong took the way, walked behind the boy, and turned out of the alley, but it seemed to be in another world.
The logo pattern of the Beauty Pavilion can be seen everywhere. When I hear someone talking about the novelty in the Beauty Pavilion, the most talked about is the lipstick that is said to be twisted open.
Peach Hong was walking when she saw two people walking towards her. One of the women had a beautiful and natural color of rouge on her lips, which made her look back involuntarily.
“I bought a lipstick next door, this is the color she painted for me, what is it called brick red, look, isn’t it beautiful?”
The woman who walked with her looked at the color on her mouth, “I heard that there is still a gift, sister-in-law, should we get together and count one hundred taels of silver?”
…
People’s nature is to join in the fun, or the two aunts next to them chatted too loudly and followed the flow of people. Outside the Beauty Pavilion.
A small rouge, which is said to be a “lipstick”, is for everyone to try.
Peach Hong stood below, just glanced at it, turned around and squeezed into the crowd of Beauty Pavilion, shouting: “I want to buy a lipstick!”
In the evening, Qian Qianrong smiled from ear to ear when she saw the freshly released ledger.
