"If what happened today is spread, how will others see you?" Mu Liu asked angrily, her voice full of disappointment and anger, "How can you still raise your head in front of the high gate of the capital? How can you ascend to the highest position? ?”
Mu Wanjing's expression changed slightly when she heard her mother's words.
She has always been a role model among the noble ladies in the capital, and she must not ruin her years of business just because of Mu Nanxi.
She took a deep breath, and then said softly: "My daughter is very angry today, and she will be careful about her words and actions in the future." There was a little apology and self-blame in her voice.
When Mu Liu heard her daughter's answer, her face softened a little: "It's good that you know. We can't let a piece of mouse droppings ruin a good pot of soup."
Mu Wanjing nodded.
She was silent for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something important.
"Mother, my daughter has something to say," she said.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Wanjing took a deep breath and looked serious: "Today in the palace, Mu Nanxi personally admitted to me that her father often visited their mother and daughter and hired a teacher for her. This shows that father has been hiding it from us before. "
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Mu Liu's suppressed anger to rise instantly.
Her face turned livid, and her eyes showed anger and disappointment.
"Good on you, Mu Qing!" Mu Liu shouted angrily in a low voice.
Mu Wanjing pulled her mother to sit beside her: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but my mother is here today to look for her daughter, but what is the important matter?"
"Aunt Mei is pregnant." Mu Liu gritted her teeth, her voice almost forced out from between her teeth, and her face became even more gloomy, full of resentment.
She thought of the eternal vows made by Mu Qing when he asked to marry her, and seeing everything in front of her, she only regretted that she had been blinded by lard at that time.
Mu Wanjing frowned slightly when she heard this.
She got pregnant not long after entering the government?
"Can the doctor confirm it?"
"Of course, that damn Hu Meizi took away my power to run the family before. Now that she is pregnant with a child, she is even more lawless and haunts your father's soul day and night." Mu Liu said coldly.
Her eyes were cold and she wanted to kill Aunt Mei quickly.
"Even the old lady in the backyard, who always doesn't care about anything, keeps sending supplements to her yard again and again, and also assigns maids to her yard to take care of her food and clothing, for fear that someone will harm that foxy girl!"
When Mu Wanjing heard her mother's words, her heart moved slightly and she asked: "If Aunt Mei is born a boy, then he will be the eldest son of Duke Jingguo. Although he is a bastard, he should inherit the position of Duke. Then we, mother and daughter, will People should look at the faces of Aunt Mei and her son everywhere."
"So we must not allow Aunt Mei to give birth smoothly." Mu Liu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"What does mother want to do?"
…
"exquisite!"
Early in the morning, Mu Nanxi lay on the desk in the east wing and thought over and over again. After she stopped writing, she shouted at the top of her lungs to Linglong, who was making the bed in the main room.
"Here comes the princess!" Linglong put down her work and trotted into the east wing. "What are your orders, Princess?"
"Go out and buy the things on this list."
Linglong took the paper from Mu Nanxi's hand, looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, and said with confusion: "Princess buys axes, saws, planes, chisels, whatever. These are all tools used by carpenters."
"Just go and buy it. Don't forget to buy another piece of wood."
Linglong agreed, not daring to delay, and immediately turned around and left the house.
In less than an hour, Linglong returned to Shaoyunxuan, followed by four female envoys, who brought back what Mu Nanxi needed.
"Princess, is there anything wrong when you look at these items?"
Mu Nanxi glanced at the things in the hand of the envoy: "That's right, put them all in the west wing."
After putting the things away, Mu Nanxi sent people to work overtime to prepare the items that would be used when the store opened later, but she locked herself in the side room.
Linglong only heard the tinkling inside, but had no idea what the princess was doing.
The day the drug store opened.
On both sides of the shop, carefully selected red couplets shine in the sun, with the words "Business with Integrity" written on the left and "Children and old men without deception" written on the right.
Right above the shop, there is a carved wooden plaque with the name of the store written in gold paint: "Bocaoxuan".
The windows of the store are wide open, revealing carved wooden shelves with a dazzling array of various products.
Exquisite and unique porcelain boxes sparkle charmingly in the sunlight, and some carved wooden boxes are placed on wooden shelves in the corners, like expensive treasures.
Mu Nanxi stood in front of the shop door, wearing a straight-collar cardigan with tightened cuffs and a light yellow collar, a light-colored "one-line" tube top, and plain white crotch pants with the dividing line of the trouser legs clear and distinct.
There was a lot going on today, so she deliberately wore a set of clothes that were convenient for her.
The melodious sound of the piano came from inside the shop. In order to celebrate today's opening, Mu Nanxi specially hired a male piano player from Yangliu Court at a high price to play, in order to attract the young lady to enter the store.
Seeing that there were enough people watching in front of the shop, Mu Nanxi raised a loudspeaker behind her back and whispered into the loudspeaker: "Today Bocaoxuan has a grand opening, and all categories of cosmeceuticals in the store are 50% off. .”
After the sound passed through the loudspeaker and then reached the ears of the onlookers, it was indeed very loud. Even people in the distance could hear it, and it attracted enough people in a short time.
“When you purchase medicines and cosmetics in the store and pay more than 10 taels, you can get a Yangliuyuan Travel Card!”
Although the folk customs of the Zhou Dynasty were not as open as those of the Dian Kingdom, there were also Zui Chun Tower, which was for men's entertainment and was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Yangliuyuan, a male brothel for women's entertainment.
When the women who gathered in front of Bocaoxuan heard this, they couldn't help but become excited and began to talk about it.
Yangliuyuan is a famous male brothel in the capital. To get into the place, you need to pay ten taels of silver first.
"Nowadays, if you buy ten taels of facial fat at Bocaoxuan, you can enter Yangliuyuan. Isn't it equivalent to getting a facial fat for free!"
"Even so, how can we commoner women afford ten taels of silver?" Some people are tempted but unable to act.
"This Bocaoxuan is a drugstore opened by Princess Zhenbei. It is something that Huang Guifei in the palace uses. I'm afraid a facial cream is much more than ten taels of silver."
…
Mu Nanxi heard the comments from the crowd and coughed a few times into the loudspeaker, drawing everyone's attention back to her.
"Don't worry, everyone, my store not only sells expensive facial oils, but also high-quality and affordable products."
"I think everyone has heard that before I became a princess, I grew up in the countryside. I understand that no matter what status a woman is, she hopes to look her most beautiful. Naturally, I will also think about all my sisters. Ladies, please come into the store and have a look!"
Mu Nanxi deliberately mentioned her experience to close the distance between them.
As expected, everyone felt a sense of warmth in their hearts after listening to Mu Nanxi's words.
A few young ladies with a little wealth led the way into the shop, and the others were somewhat curious. They were curious about the style of face cream used by the royal family, and also wondered what a shop opened by women would look like.
Mu Nanxi stood in front of the shop, smiling as she watched the bustling crowd pouring into the shop, and then also entered the shop to entertain them.
Just when she was about to explain the categories on each shelf, a woman in cloth came up to her and said somewhat cautiously: "Princess, my little wife is from the country. It's really strange to look at these objects. only……"
Her words suddenly paused: "It's just that we rough people have never seen these precious things before, so we probably don't know how to use them."
After hearing this, Mu Nanxi nodded slightly, took a bottle of Ruyi ointment from the shelf nearby, took out a small amount, then took the woman's hand, smeared Ruyi ointment on the back of the old woman's hand, and slowly Push away.
"The ointment melts when it touches the skin. It can be absorbed by the skin after a few gentle rubs. Apply it twice a day in the morning and evening after cleansing. The results will be visible after a few days."
Mu Nanxi's voice was full of warmth and kindness, which slowly relaxed the woman's nervousness.
But suddenly, the woman screamed, and a ball of blood rushed straight to her throat and spurted out.
She leaned back and fainted to the ground.
There was chaos in the shop, and someone shouted in panic: "What...what's going on? This noodle fat is poisonous!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone panicked, pushing and shoving, and threw away the boxes of facial fat in their hands.
Suddenly, countless exquisite porcelain boxes in the shop fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Not far away, Linglong was shocked and turned pale. He hurriedly went to help the woman, only to see blood flowing from her mouth and her face was pale. She was in a very critical situation.
Linglong raised her head and looked anxious: "Princess, what should I do?"
Mu Nanxi knelt down with a cold face and reached out to diagnose the woman's pulse.
She frowned slightly. This person was clearly poisoned by Wudu Powder. How could ordinary people be poisoned by such a powerful poison.
Someone is deliberately looking for trouble with her. They saw that she was opening a drug store today and came to cause trouble for her!
If she found out who was delaying her from making money, she would definitely kill him.
Just as Mu Nanxi was about to take out the silver needle from her arms and stab the woman in her arms a few times to stabilize her condition, she heard another scream from around her, saying that her facial fat was poisonous and could kill people.
In the crowd, a man pointed at Mu Nanxi and said, "It's so abominable! There must be poison in this fat, otherwise how could the old woman vomit blood and faint on the ground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, others, encouraged by him, agreed one after another, clamoring to send Mu Nanxi to the police to be held accountable.
Linglong was extremely anxious, with a hint of whimpering in her voice: "Princess, what should I do? They all say that the princess has been poisoned."
Mu Nanxi glanced at the panicked crowd around him, took a deep breath, and comforted Linglong and said: "Go to the medicine shop next to me and grab a pair of medicine according to the recipe I told you, and ask the doctor to boil the medicine and bring it over."
Mu Nanxi dictated the names of several herbs and told them the weight of each herb.
After she finished explaining, she stood up and looked at the man who accused her, then slowly walked forward and stood in front of him.
