Morbid pet

Chapter 260 It’s hard to find a beauty pill

Ten days later.

A group of people from Beijiang came and stood at the door of Anying's new mansion, excitedly and hesitantly deciding whether to knock on the door.

The guard who escorted them over was the first to knock on the door.

An Ying is not used to having such things as a porter, so the mansions he bought specially changed the porter into a corridor, and the entrance is the gate. The door should have been the porter's position, and the chairs were set up again.

An Ying's bodyguard came out, "Thank you, big brother, for helping us escort the folks!" Lin Chong waved at the people behind him, and the people behind him also smiled enthusiastically.

An Ying was also wearing a loose Daming official robe, and the belt was not tied, so it hung loosely on his body.He saw familiar figures walking towards him, and rushed over like the wind.

"Uncle, Uncle! You are all here!"

Everyone chattered about what they had seen and heard along the way, and recalled the climate of their hometown.

The four seasons in Chang'an are distinct, and it is the end of winter, but the wind is also extremely cold when it blows on your body.

An Ying glanced at the sky and said it was bad, then hurriedly walked outside the house without looking back: "Lin Chong will arrange for you, follow him. I'm going to court!"

Hearing the Shang Dynasty, these people still looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lin Chong explained: "The prince has a false position here and has no real power, but he has to go to the morning court on the first day of every week, and he doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to go later. Today is the first morning court this week, so he Went to court."
-
Changle has been raised for a whole winter, and the only advantage of being bored in the deep palace is not to bask in the sun.

Her skin, which had been tanned outside for a period of time to a healthy complexion, slowly became sickly and fair again.

She got up early today, hugged her child first, and then took An Ying's latest batch of goods into her hands.

Heavy and heavy.

After all, she used butterfly poems for this big project, and she made all the exquisite outer packaging and the dyeing of the inner materials.

A crystal-clear gem-like box was spinning in her hand. It turned out to be a treasure box, containing pills one after another, including pink, white, and blue, like pills one after another. The small candies are more exquisite than candies. As soon as you open them, a rich smell lingers on your fingertips. They smell so good and are worth a lot of money just by looking at them.

Chang Le chuckled and squeezed a handful of the pills in his hand to play with, then distributed them to the maids on his body.Everyone is very happy, fortunate to be able to eat this kind of food, and it is really effective. After eating one pill, you can feel refreshed and refreshed the next day, and your face is fairer and more tender than usual. I heard that Regular consumption also has the effect of maintaining the skin from aging, but the price is staggeringly high.

A pill the size of a baby's thumb actually costs ten taels of silver.

There were 520 pieces in the jar that Chang Le just had, and it was packaged in a limited edition. The total was five thousand two hundred taels of snowflake silver.

The palace maids were all stupefied, but they secretly thought that they could treat Changle better and get into her eyes. Isn't this kind of pill as much as you want?
So, these days, the little maids around her began to be more courteous, and there were even many other court ladies who had heard of the efficacy of this pill, risking their lives to come to the platform to beg Changle to give them one, and to take Even if you spend all your belongings, you have to buy a bottle to go back to eat.

Changle doesn't mind.

Because they are not the intended audience for this thing. Instead of letting the poor spend all their savings to buy something that is useless, it is better to do something good.

In Changle's words, young girls should not buy such illusory things, it is not worth it.Elderly grandmas should not buy it, because this pill will not make you young again.

It was her illogical sales that pushed this mysterious beauty pill to its peak.

Well-informed ladies and wives have heard that Changle and the Prince of Northern Xinjiang have jointly created such a thing, and Changle has recently lived in a simple life, and has just given birth to a pair of children. Something that hasn't been released yet.

After the beginning of spring, the expensive wives finally seized the opportunity.
-
Hundred Flowers Feast.

Daming's Hundred Flowers Banquet was held at any time, almost depending on the mood of the harem master.

On the day of Lichun, a feast of flowers was held.

It can be said to be the earliest Hundred Flowers Feast in history.

Although it is the beginning of spring now, except that the sky is not covered with goose feather snow, the rest of the time is the same. The biting cold wind will still attack people from all directions, and the bones will be cold when walking on the road.

Does the Hundred Flowers Banquet have to have flowers?
I am very sure of that.

Originally, at this banquet, everyone didn't have any good expectations for Youhua.

Because it was too early, none of the flowers I raised at home had bloomed yet.

Changle has already planned it one step ahead.

She has a greenhouse, which is full of rare varieties all over the world. Even in this deep winter, the inside of the greenhouse is so warm that one can roll on the floor wearing only a single shirt.

She put out all her treasured flowers. Although they were only displayed for half a day, she still sent hundreds of professional gardeners to stand in front of each pot of precious flowers and plants to take care of the flowers and plants so that they would not have any accidents in the winter. That's good.

These ladies in Chang'an City, who were used to seeing big scenes, secretly smacked their lips again, they are too rich.

I like flowers and plants, so I have so many of them. The flowers with bright petals and superb appearance are really amazing!
Changle has not appeared in front of these people for a long time. Today she is wearing a red gauze skirt and a rabbit fur coat. She has a golden phoenix hairpin on her head. She has slightly traced her eyebrows and her lips are a sickly red color. It is this piece of In the bright and chilling environment, the only product that captures the soul.

She stood at the door and smiled calmly at the guests coming and going, which surprised everyone who passed by.

Neither Changle nor the noble girls in Chang'an City had a deep relationship, and the only two they had contact with were both his childhood friends.

Zhou Zimu is one.

Zhou Zimu has married Shang Chen and has become a free wife. She spends her days traveling and buying things, regardless of her children or husband, and her life is so happy.

Almost all the people who can get along with Changle are those who seem to be very casual, but when they actually get along with each other, they will find that she is more casual than I thought.

Zhou Zimu has not written to Changle for several years, and everyone has a tacit understanding.

Zhou Zimu walked over. She was dressed in a pink snow suit, and her cheeks were flushed with the most popular red water powder noodles in Jiangnan. Changle praised sincerely: "Zimu, the color of your cheeks is so beautiful."

Zhou Zimu smiled and walked over to hold her hand, "You are also very beautiful and easy to cut. I haven't contacted you for a few years, how are you?"

She often lives in Jiangnan, and now she speaks a Jiangnan Nong accent, waxy.

Chang Le sighed: "What do you mean, I just gave birth to a child, so tired."

Zhou Zimu pulled her aside and asked about private topics in a low voice, "Your majesty, you don't have that with your majesty, do you? Let me tell you, I'm from here, and a woman just gave birth to a child. You must never do that with your husband." , otherwise it will be bad for our health. Man, don’t get too used to him, even if it’s His Majesty, you know?”

Xie Zhao's voice came from above the two of them in a cool voice, "Why can't Your Majesty?"

Chang Le felt that Xie Zhao must be able to focus on the key points, and this all heard the overtones.She turned her head and pushed Xie Zhao, "You go and greet the minister first, Bengong and Zimu have a private conversation in the boudoir."

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile and left.

Zhou Zimu also grew up as the eldest lady of a family. She also met this rumored evil spirit several times at banquets. Every time she saw him, she felt cold and scared, but he actually smiled. well.

Zhou Zimu wondered: "That was really His Majesty just now? Why is he so gentle? It's the first time I've seen him really smile. It's not the kind of conservative smile that perfunctory us."

Changle laughed hahaha, "Zimu, you are so funny. That is His Majesty. Do you have any misunderstandings about him." She blinked at her friend in her boudoir.

Zhou Zimu sighed, "I, maybe I just don't deserve to win your Majesty's smile, anyway, it was the first time I saw you just now. By the way, you haven't answered the question just now. I'm just my old businessman, I was still in the confinement period, and then my health was very bad, and it was like this for a long time."

Chang Le shook his head and said no, and then asked: "The midwife told me that it would be enough for one month after confinement, and then the person who took care of me during confinement said it would take three months."

Zhou Zimu covered his mouth in surprise, "Oh, then you must believe in the latter, start at three months! I think you should not let him touch you for at least half a year, what if you get pregnant again? Giving birth to a woman is very hurtful , After three years of marriage, I gave birth to two children, and now I still have a scar on my stomach, no matter how hard I exercise, it won't go away, I'm so angry."

Changle thinks it is very interesting to chat with Zhou Zimu, and they both have the kind of personality that doesn't take anything to heart.And everyone lives a particularly transparent life, which is the key.

Chang Le pursed her lips and smiled, "Listen to you, but I won't have another child. I think having two children is already meritorious enough. I don't like the feeling of being full of children and grandchildren. To be honest, I think two children are noisy. , one is fine. I have two children, do you know? Li Yange and Li Wanning."

Zhou Zimu, a rich lady who eats melons all day, has of course heard that these two children are the orphans of her master, and Changle picked them up from the mountain, raised them by his side, and gave them the surname Li, Even a Pangzhi is a glorious and noble existence.

Changle wanted to go in to entertain guests, so he didn't say much to Zhou Zimu, just patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Zimu, you can come to me and share with me if you have anything in the future. Open the gate of the platform for You are open."

Zhou Zimu suddenly also felt that time flies, from the intimacy when he was a child to the next step in everyone's life, always missing the moments that each other needed too much.Zhou Zimu smiled, "Well, I see."

There were a few noble ladies standing side by side, looking like they were chatting, but after communicating with them, I found out that they had been discussing in a low voice, the latest beauty pill released by the empress, which has not yet hit the market.

But they dare not ask.

After all, standing behind Chang Le was Xie Zhao, the man who stood upright in Daming.

Changle happened to hear some intermittent words when she walked past them. She stopped curiously and asked, "What are you talking about just now?"

Changle's face turned to the side for a shock, which made all the ladies startled, and the ladies scrambled to praise: "Empress, why is your skin in such good condition? I saw you once at the state banquet last year, and you only knew it at that time." When I came back from other places, my skin was still a bit honey-colored, but now it has grown into this kind of snowy skin, I really envy us!"

This is half true.

Chang Le was puzzled and said with a smile: "The beauty pills of this palace haven't been released yet, but you all know about it. It seems that the palace's ability to spread is very fast."

Of course, she deliberately said this to these ladies.

Changle supported his head and thought for a while, "Do you want to try it? It happens that there are still some on the maid of the palace. We are still testing the effect of this beauty pill, but I have been taking it for a while with the people around me. You can see Look at the difference. It is quite useful, but the price.”

Dian Cui came out from behind her, took out a clean small porcelain bottle from a red brocade box in her arms, opened the porcelain bottle, and put all the pills in her hand, there were more than twenty pills in total.

The ladies scrambled to say: "The price is not a problem! I believe in the quality control of the empress."

Changle raised his chin: "Eat three of them, and if you feel good after eating, go to Lanyuetai to buy them. There is a batch of new products in storage at Lanyuetai. Originally, we will wait for the store to be renovated in the middle of next month. Let it go, but now since you want it, I will sell it to you in advance."

The three warm and white beads fell on the hand, and there was a cold feeling for a while. After eating one, I was shocked by the fragrance of flowers in my mouth. When I crushed the beads, there was a faint fragrance of flowers, and it felt great to slide down my throat.

And blue beads.

When you eat it, you will feel the fresh taste of green grass and blue sky. It is a little bitter, but soon it turns into a strong sweetness after swallowing.

Making a fuss about the senses has always been Changle's forte.

What she herself is very satisfied with, these noble ladies must also be very satisfied with.

Chang Le said with a light smile, "Well, there aren't many in stock, first come, first served."

The eldest lady of Jiang Taigong's family in red said: "I want as much as I have. I'm sorry, sisters. I can share some with you when I buy it. It's delicious to eat as a sugar pill."

The other ladies didn't dare to break up with her, so they could only mutter in a low voice: "Okay, okay." But they all made up their minds to buy all the beauty pills in Changle when they go back. If not, wait until she restocks the stock. , there will be.

Changle smiled and left.

Dian Cui chased after her and asked, "My Lady, are you holding this Hundred Flowers Banquet just to sell this beauty pill?"

Chang Le laughed lightly: "Then why not? Who would get lost in looking at flowers in winter?"

Dian Cui secretly sighed: "Your Majesty is really a business genius."

I still remember that at Lanyue Platform, Changle asked An Ying to calculate the production cost and how much silver it would cost to make a beauty pill.

An Ying held an abacus and fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Finally he said, "No, this one can't be counted."

Chang Le thought it was because of the high cost, and wanted to take the list of ingredients to someone for calculation, but An Ying waved his hand and said, "I calculate the money by catty, 500 taels per catty."

Chang Le asked again: "How many grains is equal to one catty?"

An Ying really didn't calculate this thing, but the little drug boy behind him did the calculation, "If you go back to your mother, the goods in front of you now are three catties, and one catty is a dough, which is also made of a different color." Yes, there are about ten thousand beads here."

Changle made a final calculation and said in disbelief, "So cheap?"

An Ying raised his eyebrows: "The cost is low. It's not that the cost of adding your nectar and pollen is lower, but the price of nectar and pollen are all imported prices, because your business brought them over."

Chang Le nodded: "I know how to sell it, go burn a good-looking jar, and the budget can fluctuate around 50 taels."

The final cost is that the transparent octagonal glass jar can reflect the brilliance of eight colors in the sun, which is very beautiful, and contains 520 beauty pills of different colors.

The final price is 200 taels of silver.

There is also a thoughtful gift of a pink flower raft handwritten in golden ink, on which are carefully written contraindications and precautions for taking, as well as ways to see the effect.

It can be described as extremely caring.

When Mrs. Li Yuanwai finally snatched a can from the platform, she was also amazed by the beautiful can. To her, 200 taels was just half a year's money for rouge and gouache. Does this beauty pill still use so many embellishments?
That will definitely not work.

Therefore, the higher price is acceptable to everyone.

Changle watched the warehouse being emptied and asked An Ying's people to work overtime, but only a few dozen cans were produced. Originally, they were said to be sold in bulk, and these large cans were used as decorations in the store.

I didn't expect everyone's purchasing power to be unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Chang Le himself felt in a trance.

In order to promote this beauty pill, she did not hesitate to plan a flower feast in winter, which is also enough courage and execution.

An Ying's admiration for Changle deepened.

The final accounts all flowed into Chang Le's pocket, but she was not short of money, so she gave An Ying's 5000 million final payment to him in advance.

With this huge sum of money, An Ying has been busy building his own factory in Chang'an City recently, and has also started building factories in several neighboring cities, preparing to start mass production of this beauty pill and sell it to Daming. Go to a few more central cities.

Changle understands marketing.

After passing the trials of the first batch of rich wives in Chang'an City, everyone has a deeper understanding of the efficacy of her beauty pills.

And the rave reviews.

After all, it is something that Changle himself is using.

Nobody worried much about safety.

But here lies the bad.

This is the first time Changle has made this kind of health-preserving thing.

The inventory has not been stored in the warehouse for long enough, and it is impossible to test the preservation time.

Her warehouse is ice-cooled, but it doesn't mean that other people's warehouses are also like this.

They usually take it back and put it on the dressing table. Sometimes the jar is not sealed, and it is opened when it is opened, allowing the air to go straight in.

So some people eat and damage their bodies.

Mrs. Li, who was happy to take it back, found something wrong after eating it. She opened the jar and was shocked.

She couldn't help shouting loudly.

The colorful beauty pills under the transparent glass jar are all sticky together, and white fluff grows on it. When the lid is opened, a disgusting industrial smell is exposed. How can this be a noble thing bought for 5000 taels?

Now even at 20 taels, she would avoid it.

Then she felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, and then passed out directly.

Many doctors have come to look at it, but it is useless.

People still didn't wake up.

When Changle knew about this, three days had passed.

Li Yuanwai really had no choice but to come to Xie Zhao.

And Xie Zhao himself only knew about it, and he was surprised: "How could this happen?"

An Ying ran to Li Yuanwai's residence overnight, and saw the pale-faced Mrs. Li.

He didn't know how to check the pulse, so he put his hands on her neck, and then took out a few silver needles with black bottoms from his sleeves.

When the silver needle sank into Mrs. Li's neck, the melanin penetrated into her body.

The movement of his hand was very fast, and he pulled out the silver needle in a short time. Li Yuanwai was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised.

He covered his mouth and said, "What on earth is going on?"

It's hard for An Ying to say that he was poisoned.

Lin Chong, on the other hand, found the jar of mutated Beauty Pills on the table when he passed by.

An Ying took it and held it in his hand to look at it for a while, he frowned: "Beauty Pills"

In the end, this jar of mutated beauty pills fell into Chang Le's hands.

She really couldn't figure out why this beauty pill was so fragile and it was not easy to preserve it.

No matter how safe the ingredients are, they cannot withstand spoilage.

Chang Le was depressed for several days, but couldn't find a solution.

It is here that the first batches of the Beauty Pills began to slowly rot.

Some families who pay attention to it will put it in the ice kiln to keep it fresh, but if some people don't pay attention to it, they can only let the ball go bad.Moreover, the first batch sold is 520 pieces, which cannot be eaten in a day or two.

Follow the routine of eating up to five pills a day.

It will take a full hundred days.

to finish eating.

How to keep the beauty pills for at least two hundred days.

It has become their number one priority now.

Because of Changle's status, Li Yuan's family didn't make a fuss in the end, and they paid some compensation to settle the matter.

Of course, there are several companies that have this deterioration problem, and Changle directly asks people to pay compensation.

Just when she was feeling bored, Xie Zhao came over.

He was a little annoyed by Anying, he knew how to find something for Changle in a day.

He sat down beside her, "Chuchu, don't do it if you don't want to."

"If it's a big deal, just pay the compensation. If you don't sell us, don't be angry."

Chang Le laughed and said, "What do you know?"

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "The matter of Mrs. Li Yuanwai has bothered you for a long time. Then don't think about it. The preservation technology is not very good now. You also wrote in the manual that you should keep it in a refrigerator. The same is true for sealing. They don’t do it themselves, and they come to you for after-sales after eating their stomachs, which makes me feel annoyed.”

"It's not that we lack their little money, why bother?"

Changle cried and laughed: "Why bother? I don't know why. But I just want to do it, because it is a meritorious thing. No one has ever paid attention to women's internal care before. As long as I create a market , there are countless merchants staring at this area, and soon, there will be a lot of things that focus on women’s bodies in the market. Even if they can’t afford our products, they can still buy other merchants’ products. This is because they love themselves way, I don't want to give up."

Xie Zhao finally gave in.

"But, you have to promise me that you can't let yourself be so tired, you know? I feel bad when I see you tired."

The nurse carried the children over, Chang Le took the children over, Nini slept soundly in her arms, Tuantuan was in Xie Zhao's hands, staring at the two with big watery eyes.

Chang Le couldn't help laughing: "Tuantuan, why are you staring at Daddy, Daddy didn't give you food?"

Tuantuan couldn't speak yet, so he could only babble and say, "Beat!"

Xie Zhao bowed his head and kissed Tuantuan, "Be good, don't hit me."

Tuanzi didn't know that he was stimulated by these words, and he started to cry loudly. His voice was so penetrating that Changle even frowned.

Xie Zhao slowly coaxed and coaxed, and the child's crying gradually stopped.

Changle was already annoyed in her heart, and the child still came to annoy her.

She was in no mood to eat.

I've been in a bad mood all day.

What bothers her is not that this product cannot be sold, but that they have no way to solve the storage problem now.

Just when she was annoyed, she suddenly saw a dusty glass jar in the corner of the warehouse, and inside was a rose that was still as bright as fire.

"Eternal Flower!"

Changle ran over and held the eternal flower in his hand.

She picked up the flowers and turned around, and found that the flowers were still bright and beautiful.

She lowered her head and gently smelled the light fragrance of the flowers, "It smells good."

The petals are hard to the touch, not soft and juicy when they are alive.

She seemed to be struck by lightning, and her spine was numb all the way.

"Desiccant!"

She turned her head to Dian Cui and said, "Send someone to bring An Ying over immediately."

Dian Cui was a little puzzled and said, "What's wrong with your mother? What is the desiccant?"

Chang Le simply explained: "Do you think this rose will not wither? An Ying told me before that he would add a desiccant to make this kind of rose to keep the rose dry and never wither. , You see, this flower has been kept here for so long, and it hasn’t deteriorated, so if we think of a way to make the desiccant into something and put it in a jar, can it also keep the beauty pill dry?”

Diancui still doesn't understand.

She just thinks the eternal flower looks good.

An Ying will arrive soon.

His new residence is across the street from the former Governor's Palace.

It's only a short horse ride away from the palace entrance.

When Chang Le saw him, he told him about the eternal flower. An Ying actually thought about using a desiccant.

But the desiccant cannot be eaten, it is poisonous.

It can't be the same as the eternal flower, soak the beauty pill with a desiccant.

Then it's worth eating.

Changle shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The desiccant only needs to be made into something that can be volatile. For example, a small cloth bag is sewn together, and then poked a few small holes, or the cloth is ground into a very The thin strips allow the desiccant content to evaporate through the cloth strips."

She doesn't know much about practical things.

However, An Ying accurately captured Chang Le's meaning.

He decided to go back and try, "Okay, I know how to do it, I'll take someone to study it when I go back, so don't worry about this kind of thing, it's still our own problem. Next time when a new product is released After experience, we still need to polish it slowly. We can’t go to the market so quickly. Before, we made a little at a time and ate it after finishing. Of course, there is no problem. I think the problem of storage this time is also a warning to us. Bar."

Changle nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

An Ying smiled and shook his head: "It's not hard, it should be."
-
Lan platform ushered in a rare visitor.

Zhou Zimu.

She has not been to Lanyuetai for many years.

She also had a share in buying Changle's Beauty Pills before, but she was very persuasive and put the Beauty Pills in the mansion to be chilled. Later, Mrs. Li's incident happened again, and she was so scared that she hurriedly distributed the Beauty Pills to others. The people in the house also ate more, the changes during this period are really big visible to the naked eye.

Her skin became much fairer and more delicate, and even her cheeks began to turn rosy.

The concierge is new, and he has never met Zhou Zimu, so he went in and passed it on, and then Die Shi came out and took her to the flower hall where Chang Le was.

When Changle is depressed, he likes to sit in the flower hall and look at the flowers in a daze.This is the way she gets along with herself, and no one can comment on it.

When Zhou Zimu walked to the door, Chang Le didn't say a word.

Zhou Zimu said softly: "Mother, can I come in?"

Changle seemed to have just discovered her, nodded, "Come in, Zimu."

Zhou Zimu put the milk cake and refreshments he made on the table and took them out carefully. "I remember that you like milk cakes and Biluochun tea cakes the most."

Chang Le got up and walked over, poured a cup of thick rose tea for her and himself, and then ate it with the tea cake Zhou Zimu brought over.

Changle smiled and said, "It's delicious."

Zhou Zimu came here today to repair the relationship she hadn't had with Changle in the past few years. Since the last flower feast, Changle has looked haggard, presumably because of the recent worry of Meirenwan.

Zhou Zimu said: "Your Majesty, your Beauty Pill is really an epoch-making product. I have used it very well, but there is indeed a storage problem, and we can't ask everyone to store it in an ice kiln. It is impossible to take it out." It’s convenient, it’s better to put this kind of daily necessities in a place that can be reached everywhere.”

"Commodity?" Chang Le looked at Zhou Zimu suspiciously, and soon You suddenly realized, "Zimu, this means that the daily necessities are gone!" She shouted excitedly.

Zhou Zimu looked at her, "Huh?"

Chang Le said with a smile: "I know that I need to re-study the problem of storage. When I made the product before, I didn't consider this problem at all. I still have too little experience. As for women's health care products, no one has any experience. After dabbling, this area is almost blank even in our eyes.”

Zhou Zimu smiled and said, "Do you see that my skin condition is much better than before?"

It was only then that Changle noticed that Zhou Zimu's originally dull face was very smooth and fair without makeup.

Changle thinks this is the meaning of hard work.

Let all women care for themselves as much as possible, instead of pleasing men.

This is why she made all women in the world wear phoenix robes and phoenix crowns when they get married.

Love yourself and someone will love you.
