Chapter 172 Si Niang prepares to leave
"It's getting late, fifth uncle. Go home and get some rest." After saying this, Nangong Lin signaled his cousin to leave quickly and asked the guards to escort him out of the house.
After watching Lin Dengyuan leave the palace, Nangong Lin returned to his room with peace of mind. He felt relieved to see Yu Yunxin looking much better after taking the medicine.
But why did she tell Lin Dengyuan that she was still a virgin? Did she really not like me? Thinking about why she always pushed me away every time I approached her, who did she like?
At night, he couldn't sleep, and from time to time he went to the kitchen to pull a bunch of noodles, which made King Jiang, Guo Dun and Liu Chao three people, and even made noodles for breakfast for everyone in the mansion. When King Jiang got up in the morning, he was also shocked to see so many thin noodles. What happened to their prince? Why did he pull noodles all night? Not only that, they also sent some to the people in the Chenghuang Temple outside the city who were building the farm for the princess, and even sent some to the medicine store. This Prince Yu pulled hundreds of kilograms of flour in the mansion into noodles. There were so many noodles that there were several racks of noodles drying outside the ice storage.
In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into the house. Yu Yunxin rubbed her eyes. Did she sleep all night? She seemed to have had a very long dream. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Nangong Lin holding her in his arms and asked softly, "Xin'er, why did you lose so much blood after going to the General's Mansion last night?"
"My grandfather and second uncle were poisoned by the Gu from Nan Dian. Only my virgin blood can be used to attract the snake orchid to drive out the Gu." Yu Yunxin replied, "I find it strange that my internal energy is also lost even though I don't bleed much."
Nangong Lin didn't say anything after hearing this. He got off the bed and kissed Yu Yunxin gently on the forehead. He said, "Don't worry about it. Your master is also at the mansion. You can go ask the ghost doctor. I have to go to the morning court."
Nangong Lin put on his coat and left like a gust of wind. After getting up, Yu Yunxin came to the courtyard where the ghost doctor lived like a light deer. At this time, the ghost doctor was eating the noodles made by Nangong Lin. It was a bowl of fragrant noodles. The ghost doctor ate with gusto and licked the sauce in the bowl clean, as if it was the most delicious delicacy in the world.
“Master, Yu Yunxin watched the Ghost Doctor finish his breakfast before coming forward to greet him.
"Disciple, this Prince Yu is pretty good! He can even cook breakfast." The ghost doctor looked at Yu Yunxin with a smile on his face, with admiration in his eyes.
"Why did I not lose much blood yesterday but my internal energy was also depleted?" Yu Yunxin asked.
The ghost doctor smiled and said, "Give me your colorful bracelet first."
Yu Yunxin immediately took off the bracelet and handed it to the ghost doctor. The ghost doctor took it and put all the orchids in the yard into the bracelet space. He said: "These are the medicine king snake orchids that I have spent more than a year to grow. Not only are they immune to all kinds of poisons, they can also cure talisman poison and Gu poison."
"You must use your virgin blood to open the blue bead, and only you can learn what's inside. You will consume your internal energy when opening the blue bead space, but now it can allow you to freely enter and exit the seven-color bracelet. You can regulate your breathing at any time with the internal energy of the Flower God Technique, and your internal energy will recover quickly." After the ghost doctor said this, he returned the bracelet to Yu Yunxin.
"You should know about this, Suli witch!"
Yu Yunxin nodded.
The ghost doctor looked at it and smiled: "This bracelet belongs to the queen of the Suli tribe. It is a symbol of every generation of queens. You know the meaning of this bracelet, right?"
"You can enter the ninth level of the Flower God Technique and the last seven color spaces." The ghost doctor stood up and said, "I asked Bai Yan to save your second uncle from the poison. I left a pot of medicinal snake orchid in the Lin Mansion. I will send it back after your second uncle's poison is solved. You must not let anyone know about this medicinal snake orchid. You can use your mind to summon a medicinal snake when necessary."
"Master, you are always welcome to come back." Yu Yunxin spoke immediately when she saw the ghost doctor who had just said a few words and was about to stand up again.
"I'm not used to living here." Then he got up and left.
She now understood why her master asked her to transfer her blood to the blue bead. Not only could it open the blue bead's space, but it also left a bottle of blood for her second uncle to remove the poison.
After returning to the room, she entered the space again. Sure enough, there was a stream this time, flowing through all the flowers in the space, and the flowers bloomed more luxuriantly and brilliantly. There was a cave at the end of the stream, and in the cave were several pots of colorful snake orchids, with snake orchids lazily resting on the orchids.
There were several martial arts manuals in the cave, one of which was actually a set of Hehuan Jue for dual cultivation between men and women. Going deeper, she saw a set of mysterious runes. She found that she could call up the runes at any time, but each call would consume her internal energy; however, this was not the case with the martial arts. She carefully examined the martial arts in the cave and was surprised to find that it was the ninth level of Hua Shen Jue and the corresponding internal energy method. It turned out that the ninth level of Hua Shen Jue had been hidden here. No wonder no matter how hard she practiced and broke through the acupuncture points in her body, she could not make Hua Shen Jue further improve her skills.
As soon as he stepped out of the space, Nangong Lin had already returned from court. With a happy look on his face, he quickly walked to Yu Yunxin's side, looked at her who had fully recovered, and said softly: "Xin'er, let's go out for a walk together."
Yu Yunxin was very happy when she heard this, because she always loved going out. So, she smiled and nodded, and walked out with Nangong Lin. They got on the carriage and drove all the way, and finally arrived at Fengyu Rice Shop. They saw that the three storefronts were crowded with people, forming a long line.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" Yu Yunxin curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked out, and asked questions.
"This is all thanks to Shopkeeper Zhao. Yesterday was a good day for the store opening. I didn't expect he had such a skill. He presided over the opening here yesterday. Tofu and milk candy are subject to purchase limits. The rice is also delivered in rice bags according to your requirements. The words "Fengyu Rice Shop" are embroidered on each rice bag. And the tofu in the shop on the left you see is also made by people in the mansion. The people who made it and took it out to sell are all arranged by you." Nangong Lin said as he looked at Yu Yunxin looking in the direction of the rice shop.
"Let's go buy two candies." Yu Yunxin said to Nangong Lin while looking at the people queuing.
"No, I kept some." After saying that, she took out a wooden box like a magic trick. When she opened it, there were quite a few lollipops, but they were all in the shape of hearts.
Yu Yunxin looked at the white heart-shaped lollipops that Nangong Lin took out and couldn't help but smile sweetly and asked, "Why did you keep all the heart-shaped ones?"
"This one looks good." Nangong Lin said as he took out a heart-shaped lollipop and stuffed it into his own mouth like a child, and also stuffed one for Yu Yunxin.
Looking at the bustling crowd outside Fengyu Rice Shop, "Okay, it seems I can rest assured with Manager Zhao here. Let's go! To Xinxing Fabric Shop." Yu Yunxin signaled Hai Wang to drive to Linglong Pavilion. The street there is a woman's favorite thing to do. Shopping, looking at clothes, and buying accessories are the most relaxing things, as if all the worries can be thrown away like smoke.
Although the newly renovated Xinxing Cloth Shop has not yet opened, the things are almost ready. The clothes here are dazzling and the brocade clothes are dazzling. These are the masterpieces of Si Niang and the embroiderers in the mansion. Looking at these fabrics and embroidery, one can't help but sigh at their exquisiteness. Now it is winter, and they are basically winter clothes. She took out a pen and thought about it. She always felt that these clothes seemed to be missing something. If they were matched with some small accessories, such as petals, and lace lace on the neckline and cuffs, would it be more beautiful? While thinking, she sewed some purple petals on each piece of clothing. The originally dull smoky purple clothes suddenly became lively with the addition of jade petals, like a dancing butterfly. She also made a card for this dress and wrote the four words "Luo Shui Jing Hong" on it. It was really as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon.
The pink ones are the ones that match each other in red, the peach blossoms with human faces complement each other in red, the light pink hibiscus is fragrant, the blue and white white jade is fragrant, and the embroidered red thousand-thread crabapple is fragrant.
"The princess is really amazing."
"You know what, these clothes sound really nice with their names. The clothes really match the names." Shopkeeper Wu said as he looked at the cards written by Yu Yunxin.
"Linglong Pavilion needs to have selling points. Each piece of clothing is made by several embroiderers and is unique. Giving them a name naturally does not let down the hard work of the embroiderers." Yu Yun said as he wrote, and picked up the needle and thread to sew some decorations on the clothes.
"This decoration highlights the characteristics of these clothes and is really in line with the characteristics of Linglong Pavilion." Si Niang came out and saw Yu Yunxin embroidering decorations on the clothes, and applauded.
"By the way, how are the soaps sold in Linglong Pavilion?" Yu Yunxin held a few pearls in her hand and embroidered three pieces of clothing in a short time. After hearing what Si Niang said, she said, "You are very clever, and I only moved a few stitches."
Shopkeeper Wu and Aunt Cheng, one of the refugees, were busy in and out of the store. When they saw Si Niang coming out, they asked, "We are preparing to open tomorrow for the summer fashion show. After all, summer is coming soon, and we need to prepare summer clothes. Will Princess Yu come to the store tomorrow?"
"No need. My princess has to go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother tomorrow. General Lin is not in good health. I think we should leave everything to Si Niang and Chun Yu to arrange." Nangong Lin said as he watched Yu Yunxin working hard.
"Leave Xing Linglong Pavilion to me! I made a few couple outfits based on the clothes you were tinkering with and sent them to the Prince's Mansion for you. The Princess can also add some accessories." Si Niang bowed to Prince Yu and said, "I have been sewing clothes for you these past few days."
"Then you are my exclusive fashion designer!" Yu Yunxin patted Si Niang's shoulder and said.
"You little brat! The crystal clear, jade-like wood ash laundry soap you put in Linglong Pavilion did not sell well at first, but many people who bought it and used it started to stock up like crazy. Some people even secretly added a pound to the price and resold it, or sold it in the prosperous state capitals in the south. Do you want to consider raising the price a little bit?" Si Niang asked with a smile, "I came here this time to discuss this matter with you. In addition, your goat milk soap is also very good."
"I have only made a small number of trial sales of the product. If the market response in Beijing is good, we can set up a conspicuous counter in Xianzhi Pavilion to sell this kind of soap exclusively. By the way, I still have a flower essential oil soap that I haven't brought out yet!" Yu Yunxin said with satisfaction.
Si Niang smiled at Yu Yunxin and said softly, "There is a small cosmetics shop next to Linglong Pavilion. Madam Liu has earned enough money to pay for her son's tuition. She wants her second son to pursue a career in government, so she plans to transfer the shop to me. How about you open the soap shop next to Linglong Pavilion?"
"Si Niang, don't you have any money? You can open a soap shop yourself!" Yu Yunxin put down the jewelry in her hand and responded.
"Actually, I want to give you Linglong Pavilion under my name. After all, Linglong Pavilion was given to me by your mother. Naturally, I have to return it to you." Si Niang said reluctantly.
"Si Niang, what are you doing?" Yu Yunxin asked puzzledly.
"It's because there is news about Ouyang Lei. He is at the border of Xizhou. I will leave in a few days and may never return to Beijing." Si Niang said.
"Si Niang, I really can't bear to leave you! Don't worry, I have already arranged everything for Linglong Pavilion, and I have also taken care of the cosmetics shop. I also left you my albums of these years. Now that your Prince Yu is well, I will leave the capital in a few days."
Si Niang waved her hand gracefully, like a dancing fairy, and said with a smile: "I also want you to give me some silver so that I can spend it lavishly."
"But the new Xinxing Cloth Shop hasn't opened yet. Why are you thinking of quitting?" Yu Yunxin held Si Niang's hand tightly and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, although I don't have any other skills, I am more than capable of protecting myself. Before you leave, just prepare some wine and silver for me." Si Niang smiled slightly, like a blooming spring flower, and gently put the shop deed next to her into Yu Yunxin's hand.
"Tell me when you are leaving so I can send you a cart of wine." Yu Yunxin said reluctantly, with a hint of attachment in her eyes.
Si Niang smiled slightly, patted Yu Yunxin's shoulder gently, and said softly: "Five days later, I have been in the capital for twenty years, and I really don't want to leave... but all good things must come to an end." After that, she turned around and prepared to busy herself with her own affairs.
Yu Yunxin quickly pulled Si Niang, looked at her firmly, then turned to look at Nangong Lin beside her and said, "You can spend today saying goodbye to Aunt Si and me."
After hearing this, Nangong Lin slowly stood up, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, I will not interfere in the affairs between you women. But, you must remember to return home early and don't make me worry." After that, he turned and left, leaving space for Yu Yunxin and Si Niang.
After Nangong Lin left, Yu Yunxin looked at Si Niang with joy, her eyes flashing with excitement, and said, "Aunt Si, let's go! I'll take you to the eldest princess's bar, and we won't go home until we're drunk!" As she spoke, she held Si Niang's hand tightly, and couldn't wait to take her to the eldest princess's private club to enjoy some drinking.
