The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 125
Coincidentally, in the past few days, the Xieji drugstore opposite the Xieji pharmacy that they had been looking at for sale was the dowry shop left by her mother.

After all, Xie Anhua is not a big or small Marquis, he has connections and skills, and the business of the pharmacy seems to be good.Xie Xinyue watched with cold eyes, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Just wait and see, sooner or later, Miss Ben will take everything back!

"Sister, what are you looking at? We're here, let's go down!" Xu Yan tugged at her sleeves, and immediately brought her back to her senses. The two got out of the carriage together and went to the fancy restaurant.

This restaurant is naturally much larger than the ones in Xiang'an City, and there are few layouts inside. It's just that after the chef of this restaurant was poached, he didn't find a good one, and the business went downhill. , Sell, find another way out.

Housekeeper Hao is really a good housekeeper. Not only is he quick in handling things, but he is even more deadly when negotiating business with people, killing the seller.Finally, the entire restaurant was sold at a price of 3000 taels of silver.

This sum of money may seem like a lot at first glance, but the land in the capital is expensive, Xie Xinyue feels that she has already taken advantage of it.Although the restaurant was sold out, tables, chairs and materials had to be prepared. I asked Steward Hao. Although the capital also had chili peppers, they were all for ornamental purposes and the price was expensive. In this case, she could only consider transporting goods from Xiang'an City.

Fortunately, the journey from Xiang'an City to the capital is not far away, she only needs to write a letter to Guo Yuren, and let him arrange it when the time comes.However, seeing that summer is coming, I am afraid that the business will not be very good just by making hot pot, so she decided to develop a special health-preserving dish - medicinal food in addition to hot pot.

It's because the medicine is bitter. Many people don't like to drink those bitter medicines once they get sick.Taking medicine into the diet can not only cure diseases, but also enjoy delicious food, regardless of the seasons of winter and summer.The medicated diet not only maintains the curative effect of the medicine, but also has the characteristics of the food, which just allows her to develop her strengths.The capital is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and they cherish their lives even more. As long as they are famous, are they afraid of bad business?

With caressing, Xie Xinyue's whole body was full of energy, and she decided to start writing herbal diet recipes when she returned home today.

"The palace has already issued a decree that the selection of female officials will be held on the first day of April. Hey, who told you that you are unlucky! There are only seven days until the selection, and the rash on your face has been half a month and has not disappeared. .Even if my mother arranged it intentionally, your appearance would be disgraced immediately! I took you out to buy some jewelry today, it is my mother who pities you."

"The eldest sister said that it's all because we are unlucky and unable to share our father's worries. My mother really has a heart, and she specially gave us jewelry to appease us."

The familiar voice immediately made Xie Xinyue look up, and saw three girls in gorgeous clothes appeared at the door of Linlang Pavilion, which sells jewelry next to the restaurant.The woman in the lead has a delicate appearance and a domineering expression, who is it not Xie Xinqin!

Although the two girls who followed her were covered with veils, only their forehead and eyes were exposed, but they could guess their identities. They should be Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu without a doubt.There seemed to be red rashes on the faces of the two of them, and they kept their heads half-lowered with a forbearance.

Xie Xinyue did not ignore the flash of resentment in Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu's eyes, and combined with their conversation just now, she was able to make a guess.There is a selection of female officials in the palace. If she heard about it from the queen, the requirements have been lowered this year. All family members of officials with a fifth rank or above can participate in the election.The cheap scum dad happened to be a fifth-rank official, and all female relatives who were 12 years old or older had the opportunity to enter the palace.

With Tang's character, how could he allow two concubines to stand out? I'm afraid that the thing on his face is also a secret method used by Tang!
"Let's go, I'm going to go in and pick some carefully, so as not to make a fool of myself in the palace." Xie Xinqin walked into Linlang Pavilion first with a proud expression on her face.

"Second sister, let's go in too."

"It's simply deceiving! What kind of compensation, she wants us to choose what to do when we go out with such a face, she is clearly humiliating us on purpose!" Xie Xinqi had tears in her eyes, and her face was full of resentment.

"Second sister, she is a legitimate daughter. Mother doesn't want us to enter the palace to steal her limelight. We are just little concubine daughters. What can we do? Resign yourself to fate!" Xie Xinshu sighed, with a helpless expression, but instead It aroused Xie Xinqi's anger even more.

"I'm just not reconciled! Why should we have to be inferior to others for the rest of our lives? In terms of character and talent, I can't compare to her in any way! It's just because I am not a prostitute, I am crushed to death by her! Third sister, by what With our looks and wisdom, we are definitely more likely to stand out in the palace than the idiot of the eldest sister. Daddy had already agreed to us, but it turned out like this! I don't believe that our faces are allergies. medicine."

"Shut up! Second sister, stop talking nonsense."

Xie Xinshu quickly stopped her, and when they were about to go in, a child suddenly appeared in front of them, and said with a smile, "Sisters, do you want to get rid of the rash on your face? If you really If you have the intention, you can go to the alley behind this restaurant within half an hour."

"Where did you come from, kid? Could it be that you've been eavesdropping on us just now?" Although Xie Xinshu was young, his temperament was calm, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face immediately.

"No comment, believe it or not, it's up to you! Only half an hour, if you want to get what you want, it depends on whether the two sisters are willing to take risks!" The child smiled slyly, and ran away quickly after saying this Into the alley next to the restaurant not far away.

Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu looked at each other with complicated expressions. At this moment, they heard Xie Xinqin's urging voice, so they could only rush into the room.

At the same time, in the alley, Xie Xinyue had already put on the veil hat that Steward Hao bought to cover her face.Xu Yan said curiously: "Sister, I have already delivered the message, why did you help those two people?"

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Now I can't help but let the cheap scumbag father and the Tang family fight among themselves and reap the benefits!" Xie Xinyue curled her lips. She just wanted to take advantage of her two The unwillingness of a concubine's sister gave Tang a head-on blow.

There is a saying that Xie Xinqi said is quite right. In terms of scheming and means, Xie Xinqin is really far behind them. These three sisters entered the palace together, and the one who was eliminated in the end must be Xie Xinqin.She was very happy when she thought that Tang's finally made a wedding dress for someone else and saved the two concubine's livid faces!

She was sure that those two people would definitely come to her!

Xu Yan hugged her chest, and suddenly felt a chill emanating from her sister, uh, it's scary!He subconsciously took two steps back, um, it's finally better.

Xie Xinyue didn't wait too long. A quarter of an hour later, Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu appeared in the alley hand in hand. They saw the child just now, and a person whose face was covered by a hood and who couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

"Who are you? Can you really heal our faces?" Although Xie Xinqi is not as calm as Xie Xinshu, she is also very courageous. This time she insisted on coming, and let Xie Xinshu accompany her with the excuse of a stomachache. came out with her.

"Of course." Xie Xinyue lowered her voice and spoke in a low voice.

"But why do you want to help us? What is your purpose?" Xie Xinshu asked timidly, but his eyes were full of determination.It made Xie Xinyue raise her eyebrows, this cheap little sister is not easy.

"Of course I have a purpose, but I can't tell you yet. Of course, I can solve the rash on your face. However, in order to convince you, I decided to demonstrate it first."

The two of them were indeed drugged. For Xie Xinyue, it couldn't be easier.She signaled Xu Yan to come forward and handed him a porcelain bottle.Xu Yan understood and stretched out his hand. After pouring a little powder from the porcelain bottle on his white and tender hand, a red rash soon began to spread, which was exactly the same as that on the faces of the two sisters. !
"ah."

The two of them exclaimed suddenly, and at this moment, Xie Xinyue took out another porcelain bottle from her bosom, picked out a lump of green paste with a wooden stick, and applied it on Xu Yan's rash covered with rash. hands.After about 5 minutes, the plaster was actively absorbed by the skin, and most of the red rash had disappeared.

Seeing this, Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Your face needs to be rubbed with my ointment for three days in a row to fully recover. I can give you the ointment, but I will only give you two days' worth. On the last day, if you decide to believe me, you can do it again." Come find me here. At that time, I will tell you what I need you to do. Fair deal, how?"

"But, what you want us to do, if it's difficult, we can't do it at all?" Xie Xinshu bit his lip and said hesitantly.

"Yeah, we are just little girls, and it is inconvenient to do many things."

Xie Xinqi also hesitated, who knows what this person wants them to do, what if they kill people and set fire to them?
"Don't worry, the matter is very simple and there is no danger. I will give you half an hour to think about it. No one can make this medicine except me! I believe you have seen many doctors, but none of them Find a way to heal your faces! This ointment can not only cure the rash, but also make the skin white, tender and smooth. Compared with the glory and wealth, it is worth taking such a little risk, isn't it?"

Xie Xinyue's tone was seductive, like a big bad wolf dressed in sheep's clothing to deceive.Xie Xinqi and Xie Xinshu looked at each other, seeing struggle in each other's eyes, and immediately, they were desperate.

"Okay, we promise you!"

"Sister, what do you want them to do?"

When the two concubine daughters of Xie's family left, Xu Yan asked curiously, really not understanding her purpose.

"Hush! Keep it secret for now! Did you see the pharmacy across the street? This time, I decided to take it back!" Xie Xinyue smiled mysteriously, with an inscrutable look, no matter how much Xu Yan pestered her, she would not open her mouth. Suddenly Xu Yan flattened his mouth.Ever since my sister returned to the capital, she has been playing tricks, so if she doesn't talk about it, she won't talk about it. He still doesn't want to know!
The two of them ran around the city again, contacted the custom-made tables and chairs, and returned to Xie's house until the sky darkened.There are still a few packs of bottom ingredients brought from Xiang'an City, and if you don't eat them, they will go bad. Xie Xinyue decided to make hot pot again at night, and let the servants in the house try it.

Instructing the woman in the kitchen to prepare a lot of meat and vegetables, Xie Xinyue began to cook the bottom of the soup pot. When the oil pot was boiling hot, the spicy and delicious aroma spread from the kitchen, causing everyone to sniff and stare. looking at.
