Daqi Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 12 Mammy's Proposal, Qingwu's Thoughts

"Welcome! I don't know guest officer...Miss, are you back?" Lu Zhen, who was planning to make plans, heard the bell ringing at the door, raised his head and said, and was very pleasantly surprised when he saw Ma Qingwu walking in. Said.

"Well. Lu Zhen, why are you the only one in the store? Where are Miaoqing and Shuiyue? It's not lunch time, so why did they go?" Qiao Qingwu looked at the sold medicines on the shelf , because she stipulated that one medicine can only be placed on the shelf at most ten packs or ten bottles at a time, and the second time will be placed when it is sold out, so now it seems that today's business is not bad, because the store has only been open for more than an hour.

"Miss Hui, the two of them went to the back pharmacy to make medicine. Because yesterday afternoon, a father-in-law from the palace came over and ordered [-] copies of hemostatic medicine and [-] doses of knife wound medicine, and [-] medicines for each medicine. and it will be in five days, so they have been busy in the pharmacy since yesterday afternoon." Lu Zhen said respectfully.Because the young lady is very kind to the three of them, except for the kindness of saving them from the black market, it is the same now.

Because the lady signed a labor contract with them for ten years, as long as they earn ten times the money she bought them in ten years, and then have enough ability to protect themselves, then after ten years, no matter what they do Whether she wants to stay or leave directly, she will agree, it depends on their own choice.Moreover, their wages are also linked to the quality of the business in the store. For example, if they sell 10 bottles of medicine a month, each of them will be given a tael of silver. If it is [-] bottles of medicine, that is [-] taels of silver. Their own efforts are also important.

"Really? Then it seems that during the month I left, the business in the store should be very good, so I took over the business from the palace. Yes, this is very good! Show me the account book, and So that I can clearly know how much money I have earned!" Said Maca Qingwu, and sat behind the counter.Because the cost she invested was more than 1 taels of medicinal materials, and it was based on the sales in the store for about [-] days. Now she has to see how much money she has earned in addition to the money paid back. .

Naturally, Lu Zhen immediately took out the ledger, while Ma Qingwu flipped through it, he also silently calculated in his heart, and finally said with certainty: "Well, not bad, besides the capital, I also made more than 8000 taels. In the capital city, it is pretty good to have such income for a month. I will live in another courtyard tonight, and you will come over with me. We will have a reunion dinner together. That’s it, I will go to another courtyard , you can continue to watch the things in the store, just remember to come here at night." Ma Qingwu said, and left the store, she had to go to another hospital to see how Mama Ru was doing, and one of the twins How is Lan Qing learning the rules?

"Ru Momo, Lan Qing, Miss is here!" After Ma Qingwu knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was Xiao Qiao, who was bought by Ma Qingwu to serve Momo Ru.Because Mammy Ru has no legs, and her daily life is a bit inconvenient, it is better to have someone by her side to take care of her.Moreover, Mammy Ru also told Ma Qingwu that she was caused by her best friend who she regarded as a sister, so she will never enter the palace again.It was precisely because of this that Saber Qingwu asked her to teach the twins the rules in the palace, and they were the ones who accompanied her into the palace from now on.

"Miss, you are here! Is that because your entry into the palace has been confirmed? That's why you came to the capital again now? Because today is already April [-]th, and the first day of the new emperor's enthronement will be held in early May." It's a talent show, miss, are you sure you want to go this way?" Xiaoqiao took Ma Qingwu to Rumao's room and left, because Lan Qing was cooking in the kitchen at this time, so she didn't get along with Rumao for the time being. Mama has learned the rules.Originally, there were only four people in the other courtyard, all of whom were women, but fortunately, the wall was high enough, so there was no fear of someone coming in, so it was quite safe for four people to live in!

"Mommy, there is nothing wrong with going this way, and you should understand that this world is always harsh on women, and there are always too many injustices. It is not so easy to find a sincere man. And Although it was sincere at the beginning, as time goes by, the sincerity will always deteriorate. So, it is also a marriage, and there is nothing wrong with entering the palace to become the emperor's concubine. When you fall out of favor, It would be nice to live a leisurely life, and enjoy the process of fighting when you are favored!" Of course, Maca Qingwu had a very open mind at the beginning.

"Since you have made your decision, just do it well, and I believe that even if you are in a palace full of dangers, miss, you will be able to live in peace. And the most common thing in the palace is drugging, especially in the palace. After you get pregnant, since you know how to take medicine, Miss, you will be able to avoid many dangers, and you can also use this skill to please people of higher rank than you. Because for you, the emperor is not the only important person That's it, the empress, the noble concubine, and even the well-trusted nanny and maids around them, sometimes you need to please them, so if you get into trouble, at least you can have more hope." Rumao said affirmatively Then, she knew that Macabara Qingwu could understand.

"Okay, mother! No matter whether I am favored or not in the future, I will live in peace. Because if I am not favored, as long as I guard my one-acre three-point land and have money in my hand, I will be fine." Live. Well, I won’t talk about these things today, because I gave Mr. Shang Shu a day to think about it, and I believe he will not disagree with my proposal. I’m going to write a few words now, Mama, tell me Tell me how I feel right now." As Maca Qingwu said, she went to grind ink for herself...

The atmosphere in the other courtyard here is very relaxed, but the atmosphere in the Shangshu Mansion on the other side is not so good, because Ban Zeyu just told Dong Shi about the three requests made by Sababa Qingwu, and neither of them spoke at this time.Dong's heart is very unwilling, of course she doesn't want to change from a common wife to a housemaid, and she is not as good as her previous aunt.But she is a smart person, and she is very aware of Sabazawa Yu's ambitions, so she suppressed her unwillingness and pretended to be virtuous and said:
"Sister, just agree to the conditions proposed by the eldest lady! After all, she didn't grow up in the mansion, but stayed in the countryside for 17 years. Now that she is back, she will enter the palace immediately and become a concubine. I think She has also imagined what her father was like. No matter how long my sister has been away, she is the eldest lady of the mansion after all, and now she is the only one who can enter the palace for draft."

"Zhen'er, you still understand me! Don't worry, I will pretend to agree to her. After she enters the palace, you will still be the wife of the mansion, and your status will not change. But Zhen'er, now more The most important thing is to collect 20 taels of silver as soon as possible, we only prepared 10 taels of silver for Lingyun before, but we didn’t expect that it would be doubled when we got here, I wonder if the government can get it out?” Hearing Seeing Dong being so considerate, Ban Zeyu certainly felt very heartwarming, but then he thought of another request made by Sababa Qingwu, and said with some headaches.

"Master, don't worry, the profits from several shops add up to 10 taels. But now they have been taken out, and by the end of this year, there will not be as many as in previous years. I will go back and count, and strive for the afternoon A specific number can be drawn. But the draft is still more than ten days away, so there should be no need to be in such a hurry." Dong said and left, because that's about the end of the story.
