Autumn passes and spring comes, and the end of summer and winter solstice make a year fly by like a fleeting moment.
In September of the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, autumn tigers attacked again.
Just after noon, Jinxi lay down on the couch and took a nap, wearing only a single jacket. Mo'er gently shook the cattail leaf fan to fan her with the cool breeze.
The quiet afternoon had not passed for a while when Jiang Rui's low call came from the bedroom door: "Sister Mo'er, are you awake?"
Mo'er stretched out his index finger, turned around and made a silencing gesture towards Jiangrui, put down the cattail leaf fan, stood up and walked out of the bedroom quietly.
"It's not like you don't know that Gege sleeps very late these days, why do you come to disturb her lunch break?" The two of them walked to the stairs one after another, and Mo'er scolded Jiangrui in a reproachful tone.
As the maid around Gege, she must take care of Gege's food and daily life. Jiangrui is upright by nature and doesn't know how to adapt. If there is anything that cannot be decided, she will report it to Gege, regardless of whether Gege is resting.
"Liangzi came to Gege with something urgent, saying that someone was causing trouble in 'Miyu'. Sister Qingsui couldn't solve it." Jiangrui quickly lowered her voice to explain. If Liangzi, who came to ask for help from Gege, didn't look really anxious, she wouldn't have done it either.
It's so inconsiderate to go upstairs and disturb Princess's rest.
"That's it...but Gege just fell asleep..." Mo'er frowned in embarrassment.
In a few days, the teaching nanny will come to the house to supervise Princess. Therefore, these days, Princess is working hard on developing "Fruit Language" and "Sweet Language" that need to be promoted in the next few months.
New product, other book friends can read it normally: At least before the end of the year, Princess will not be able to leave the house freely.
The master gave up his words. If he didn't learn the rules well, he wouldn't be able to leave the house. In order to get the right to leave the house as soon as possible, Princess had to gather all her thoughts and focus on learning the rules.
"What should we do? Liangzi is still waiting outside the small building. If sister Qingsui really can't stop it..."
"I'm awake." Jinxi heard the noise and was already mostly awake. She grabbed a coat and sat in front of the dressing table: "Hurry up and wash me up. I think I already know what Qingsui can't solve.
People."
When Mo'er and Jiangrui heard this, they hurriedly came forward to serve. One combed Jinxi's hair, and the other brought warm water and twisted a hand towel for Jinxi to wipe her face and wash her hands.
………………
As Jinxi expected, it was Qingsui's snobbish aunt who came to "Miyu" Aromatherapy Shop to cause trouble. Back then, after her parents' accident, Qingshui wrote to her aunt's family in Beijing for help, but there was no news.
I finally came to the capital to visit my relatives, but was turned away again. If I hadn't met Jin Xi by chance, I would have been caught and thrown into a pit of fire by the minions of Nixiao Pavilion.
Now it's good to see that Miyu Aromatherapy Shop, which Qingsui has a share of, has emerged in the capital's business world in just one year and has become a leader among spice merchants. They come to visit Qingshui from time to time, hoping to get some benefits from Qingshui.
, if that doesn’t work, it would be good to ask for some crushed scented candles.
Due to her seniority, Qing Sui didn't want to break up with her aunt, but she also didn't want to continue to deal with such a snobbish person. Whenever the other party came to her door, she would avoid her whenever she could. If she couldn't avoid it, she would keep a cold face and hope to make the other party retreat.
The cold face the first time had a good effect, at least it made the other party come back in anger. However, this time, Aunt Qingsui must have been trying hard to get some benefits from Qingshui. Otherwise, it would not have happened like this.
There was such a big news that Liangzi made a special trip to Yingxi Xiaolou to ask for reinforcements.
On the way to Miyu Aromatherapy Shop, Jinxi was thinking about how to help Qingsui. Directly use the banner of Si Age to scare the other party away? Or use the status of Ulanala Mansion to suppress the other party?
I don’t know how powerful Qingsui’s uncle’s family is. Other book friends may ask: Will they not pay attention to Ulanala Mansion? Then, the name Si Age is more useful, right? I just don’t know if he will.
Do you mind? After all, except for informing the prince and other brothers about his participation in the Miyu Aromatherapy Workshop, he never publicized it again.
………………
"Qingqing, I am your aunt after all. Now that your parents are dead and you haven't gotten married yet, my aunt will naturally make the decision for you... If your aunt doesn't watch these secret spice recipes carefully for you, if they are taken advantage of by someone with intentions,
, you won’t even have time to cry by then.”
Before Jin Xi entered the store of Miyu Aromatherapy Shop, she heard such a sharp question.
"Aunt, Qingqing has made it very clear to you that this shop is the hard work of Qingqing and two other nobles, and is not owned by Qingqing alone. Moreover, these spices are no longer the ones made by his father back then, and the recipe is not Qingqing's.
If my aunt insists on keeping it for Qingqing, she has to ask them if they agree, but Qingqing has no right to decide." When Qingsui's calm and calm explanation reached his ears, Jinxi paused, already understanding in his heart that Aunt Qingsui
The intention of this visit was very good! He actually wanted to rely on his dispensable status to ask for the formula of scented candles and scented essential oils that Qingsui spent a lot of effort to develop. It was really intolerable!
Thinking about this past year, apart from eating and sleeping, Qing Tao has been completely focused on the development of spices. If he were not watched by a few clever little girls under his command, he would not even spend time eating and sleeping.
After countless failures, I finally extracted essential oils from several other flowers and plants with amazing effects.
Today, in addition to rose essential oil, the flagship store of Honey Aromatherapy Shop also adds eight essential oils including bergamot, grape seed, geranium, rosemary, sage, evening primrose, lavender, and olive.
Modern popular herbal essential oils, such as sandalwood, rosin, rosin, etc., are also under research and development.
The family members of scented candles have also increased a lot, including orange, bergamot, lemon, lavender, rosemary, lily, mint, etc. Not only have the types increased, but the appearance and color have also been improved.
In the accessories category, we have introduced aromatherapy stoves that can be used with single essential oils, as well as glass cups that can hold aromatherapy candles, or exquisite porcelain dishes and ceramic cups. It is up to the customer to choose according to their own preferences. If the one-time consumption is more than ten taels of silver
, a gift of an exquisite aromatherapy candle container with the Miyu Aromatherapy Shop logo printed on it. If you spend more than fifty taels at a time, you will receive a Miyu homemade essential oil aromatherapy stove as a gift.
As a result, the business of Miyu Aromatherapy Shop is booming. It is common to earn a hundred taels a day. Perhaps this is why it attracts more coveters, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
Huh! She didn't believe that the power behind Aunt Qingsui would go beyond Fourth Elder Brother. Even if it was the Crown Prince, Fourth Elder Brother had said that he would look out for his face and not come to provoke him.
"Hey, Qingsui, didn't you say you were going back to Meishan today? Why haven't you set off yet? If you delay the shipment that Brother Si wants, I won't be able to save you!" Jinxi stepped into the shop and saw an old man and an old man.
Two shrewd women were whispering to Qing Sui, pretending not to know and reminding Qing Sui.
"...Oh, yes, why did I forget about this? Gege, I'll go first then. Si Fan, please take a look at the shop." Upon hearing this, Qingsui was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses.
, knowing that this was Jin Xi’s excuse for herself, she immediately took over the words. The mother and daughter, who were surrounding her closely, were stunned by the appearance of Jin Xi, and quickly slipped out of the encirclement and escaped.
After entering the shop, he jumped into the carriage waiting for Liangzi and drove quickly to Xiaotangshan.
It seems that it is safe for her to stay in the Meishan Villa and develop aromatherapy. In a year, she rarely goes to the city a few times, but her aunt won't let her go. Is it possible that there are some spies watching her and Miyu Aromatherapy Shop?
"Liangzi, please go back and remind Gege, is there anyone watching outside our store?" Thinking of this, Qinghuan opened the curtain of the carriage and ordered to Liangzi who was concentrating on driving.
"Okay, Miss Qingsui." Liangzi nodded. He also felt strange why every time Miss Qingshui came to the store, the shameless mother and daughter would rush to block people.
………………
"Where did you come from, little girl?" Seeing her niece running out of the shop and getting on the carriage in a flash, it was too late to stop her. Di's face was filled with displeasure, and she almost screamed while glaring at Jinxi. Other book friends were normal.
Look: Damn it! I finally caught that dead girl, but before I could persuade her to hand over the aromatherapy formula, she escaped.
Now, how do I explain it to the master when I go back?! The master’s official career depends on this opportunity. The prince agreed. As long as the master gets the aromatherapy formula from Miyu Aromatherapy House, he will definitely keep his official position as a seventh-grade official.
"I, like Qing Sui, am the owner of one-third of this shop. Who are you two? If we are blocked here, will it affect our business?" Jinxi was cool as he checked the goods on the shelves.
Liangdi answered Di's question.
"One-third of the owner? Doesn't this shop really belong to Qing Sui?" When Di heard what Jin Xi said, she couldn't help but muttered. Just now she heard Qing Sui say something similar, and she thought it was Qing Sui.
She was lying to her. Now that Jinxi said this, she felt a little shaken. Also, how could she, a penniless poor girl, afford to open such a beautifully decorated shop?
"Ahem... let me tell you, girl, is your shop really divided equally among three people? And the other one is..." Di followed Jinxi and asked in a low voice. If this is true, she has to go back and make a good plan with the master.
All in all. Qingsui, a stupid girl, would never give the formula to herself behind the back of the other two partners.
"The other one is a nobleman of the emperor. His name is not something that ordinary people like us can speak out and praise." Jin Xi gave it a try and deliberately let her guess.
"Mother!" Di's eldest daughter, who was equally shrewd, pulled Di to the corner and murmured in a low voice: "I see that this little girl must have a lot of background. Look, the two behind her should be her
She's a maid, right? She's wearing a gauze skirt and a hairpin on her head, which is no worse than what we are wearing..."
Di took a closer look and saw, isn't it? It seems that Qingsui is in luck this time. The two partners are really noble people. I don't know where they come from? After thinking about it, the prince can be said to be the best person except the current emperor.
The biggest outside the world. Who is bigger than him?
Thinking about this, Mrs. Di became more courageous. She pretended to cough, said hello to Jinxi, and then left the shop with her daughter in a big way. She had to think of a way to trick the dead girl back.
With the formula in your mouth, everything is complete. (To be continued)
