Chapter 121 You have to ask the Sixth Madam

After hearing this, Rong Mama praised: "This Doctor Li is a capable person. The medicines for injuries and sprains used by the Marquis are all good medicines. Now we don't have to worry about the Madam having scars on her face."

Qin Yuan asked, "If all the soldiers under the Marquis' command used Doctor Li's medicine, would it be better?"

Rong Ma Ma pondered and said, "That's true. If we can shed less blood on the battlefield and recover sooner, fewer people will die. But..."

But what, Aunt Rong didn’t say.

Qin Yuan understood that this matter was not that simple.

Madam Rong sat for a while and then left.

Qin Yuan was left looking at the Jade Face Cream with a complicated expression. Although she knew it was valuable, she didn't know it was so precious.

"Cui Ming..."

She shouted, then remembered that Cui Ming was still resting and Hong Ye had gone out to inquire about the ice basin.

The mothers in charge all knew that she had been frightened yesterday, and since it was nothing serious, they did not report for work.

Qin Yuan called a little maid, wrote a few lines, and said, "Take it to the account office in the mansion and enter it into the account book, saying that this is the expenses of Renhe Hall yesterday."

The Jade Face Cream is so valuable, you can’t just take it for free.

The cost of medicine and medical consultation for each department is paid by the public, so this bill must naturally be paid from the public account. Last time, Lord Gu was beaten and could not make it public, so the money for the plaster was quietly paid from Wutongyuan's private account.

Although it wasn't much, Qin Yuan felt a little bit at a loss.

When Rong Mama returned to the upper room, she said with emotion: "Madam, I think you are really blessed."

"How to say?"

Madam Gu asked with concern.

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er, who were sitting nearby, also looked over.

Aunt Rong said, "The Marquis is lucky to marry Madam. Madam always thinks of the Marquis."

"What happened?"

Old Madam Gu couldn't stand Madam Rong's keeping her in suspense anymore.

Qiuju and Xiaohong also looked over.

Rong Madam said, "I just went to see Madam. She is fine now. She just used a plaster. Madam, can you guess what it is?"

Madam Gu said unhappily, "It can't be the Jade Cream after all."

I'll have to find a way to go to the palace to get medicine later.

Although I think my son is making a big deal out of nothing, it would be a shame if any marks were left on my daughter-in-law's face.

Rong Mama slapped her thigh and said, "Old Madam is right. It's the Jade Cream, but it's just a little bit. Old Madam, it's a full jar."

Although the jar wasn't very big.

But it was a full jar.

Aunt Rong gestured.

Madam Gu stood up excitedly and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Rong Mama hurriedly supported her and said, "Of course, she said it was given by the doctor of Renhetang, a place she used to go often. It was the treasure of the store and had never been sold, so she was allowed to use it. My God, I don't know how much effort it would take for others to find the Jade Cream, but she could get it just by stretching out her hand." "Now we don't have to go to the palace to ask Queen Lin for help," Old Lady Gu felt relieved, and then she called out again, "Doctor of Renhetang? Renhetang?"

Renhetang is not very famous in the capital, it's just not that famous. It's such a coincidence that I could come across it.

Rong Mama whispered again, "Madam said that the ointment prescribed by Renhetang that the Marquis used last time was better than the ointment used by the army for injuries and sprains. Madam also asked if we should buy more for the Marquis. Look, Madam always thinks of the Marquis in everything she does. Isn't this a blessing for the Marquis?"

Madam Gu patted Rong Mama's hand and sighed, "It's a blessing, it's really a blessing. I slept very well after using the fragrant pill she brought. I was also in a much better mood. It's really more effective than taking medicine. If other young ladies had such a unique skill, they would have been unable to resist showing off everywhere to gain fame, but she doesn't show off at all."

Rong Mama continued, "Not only that, the last time I gave those old sisters the perfume pills, they all said they were good and asked where I bought them. I said they were made by their own wives, and they kept silent. Who would have the nerve to let the marquis' wife make perfume pills for them? It's a blessing to be able to use them once."

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Ge'er listened to them with envy.

Yu Jie'er was also a little curious.

Rong Mama continued, "The old lady knows about my son-in-law. He has always been very proud of his perfume making skills. Last time, he looked at my perfume balls and said that the spices used by the lady are common on the market, but the perfume balls he made are excellent in both effect and taste. He also wanted me to ask the lady if she is willing to make some perfume balls to sell in Ranxiangju."

Madam Gu said, "Then we need to ask Yuan'er whether she is willing or not."

It's one thing to prepare spices for your own family, but it takes a lot of effort to sell them.

Just like what Rong Mama said, one must be very confident to have the Marquis's wife prescribe perfume pills for him.

The Dingbei Marquis' Mansion is not short of money.

Rong Mama said, "I thought if Madam is willing, I could teach some people how to make it, or use this recipe as a shareholder, but Madam was frightened yesterday, so I didn't tell her."

Madam Gu said, "You should ask her sometime. Isn't she still worrying about her own dowry shop? Her dowry is indeed a little small. We should think of ways to give her more subsidies in the future."

Madam Rong nodded and said, "Madam said that she went to bed as soon as she came back yesterday. She was too hungry this morning and didn't come to her room for breakfast. She will come tomorrow."

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The accountant received the note sent by Qin Yuan and was shocked when he saw the amount. The Marquis's wife's medical fee and medicine cost an incredible 600 taels of silver. He dared not refuse to pay, but he also didn't dare to pay it just like that.

"Why did Madam spend so much money on medicine at Renhetang?"

The little maid said, "Madam hurt her face, and Renhetang took the store's most valuable ointment. Isn't that very expensive?"

Accountant Sun, who had a rat-like whisker, was skinny and had a long neck. Hearing this, he swallowed hard and said, "Renhetang isn't very famous..."

The little maid asked, "So should we include this in the account or not?"

Accountant Sun hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Sixth Madam."

The little maid sneered, "You say that, listen to yourself and see if it's funny. Madam was frightened and hurt her face, so she used the ointment of Renhetang, which is only six hundred taels of silver. For such a thing, you have to ask for Madam Six's approval before you can settle the bill. Is Madam's face not precious or what?"

Accountant Sun: "...Do you think six hundred taels of silver is six taels?"

The little maid threw the note on the table of Sun's accountant and said angrily, "I have already given you the note. You write me a receipt. I don't care whether you put it in the account or not. I just do what the Madam asks me to do."

Accountant Sun was also angry, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, making his neck seem even longer: "How long have you been serving the Madam, and you are so frivolous that you don't even take me seriously."

The little maidservant was also a servant of the mansion. She had grown more confident recently after being with Hongye and Cuiming. She asked directly, "Just tell me whether you will accept this note or not. If not, I will take it back and return it to the Madam. If you do, you can write me a note and someone will come to settle the bill in a few days. I'm not saying anything bad about you. Everyone in this mansion spends money like crazy, but you become stingy when it comes to our Madam."

Accountant Sun was scolded so much that his face turned red, and he was almost forced to come forward to ask who he recognized as his master.
