Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 470 Control
Ming concubine planned to send young master Xiao out of the house, but he refused to let him, and left with a small bag, unrestrained and unrestrained.

Ming concubine shook her head, went directly to the backyard, and asked a few maids to help prepare the pills.

Young master Xiao was very sloppy in his work, and after he returned, he had someone write a banner and hang it up, very ostentatiously, directly under the banner of quack doctor.

Anti-plague pills!
The untold secret of quacks!
Everyone in the capital knew that this shop was opened by Young Master Xiao, and he would definitely not be able to fake it by hanging up banners so openly.

The news spread like a gust of wind.

Before the banner was hung, the three boxes of pills were bought away.

Who in the whole of Kyoto doesn't know that quack doctors are highly skilled, and the medicines they sell are expensive, two taels of silver a piece, that's the price of conscience.

When Young Master Xiao returned to the inner room to drink tea, the pills were gone, and there was a long queue outside the door.

He stood there watching for a while, then reflected, "Isn't it cheaper to sell two taels of silver?"

"Do you want to raise the price?" the boy asked.

"Our shop is honest, and we only sell it at a fixed price," said Young Master Xiao with a deep expression on his face.

Considering that the Ming concubine only sells five renminbi a piece, the cost price should not be high, let's just say two taels.

As Prince Mu said, there are many rich people in Beijing, and more people are afraid of death. In addition, there is a sign in front of the shop that all the money earned from selling pills is used to help the victims, and those people are even more generous when spending money.

In the evening, there was a long queue in the shop, all the servants and stewards from various prefectures, waiting anxiously, looking forward to the autumn water.

Waited and waited for the pills to arrive.

A large box of pills was brought in, and the shopkeeper said, "There are so many people who want to buy, I'm afraid there won't be enough to sell."

Young Master Xiao did not return home for a long time, his elder brother Prince Mu came to pick him up, Young Master Xiao looked at him and said, "What if it is not enough to sell, everyone has been waiting for a long time."

The young man said, "A young man stuffed me with money and wanted to go through the back door, saying that if I couldn't buy it back, I would be fined."

Prince Mu said with a black face, "One person can only buy up to [-] pills, which should be enough, and the effect is good, let them buy it."

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and then hung up the sign.

Those in the front are not happy, while those in the back think the shop is wise.

Moreover, the sale is limited, which makes it even more effective that the pills are effective. A good product is not afraid that no one will want it, and it is not afraid that customers will not return.

Let me explain to you, I was tired all afternoon, my waist was sore and my back was sore, just as I sat down to rest for a while, Haitang came over and said, "Shizi Concubine, big girls and the others are here."

Xi'er rolled her eyes and said, "Needless to say, I definitely need pills."

Ming concubine rubbed her neck and got up, and went to the front yard. Chu Yu and the others were waiting in the yard. When they saw her coming, they went up to her and said, "Sister-in-law four."

Ming concubine smiled lightly, "Come to see me for something?"

"I'm here to get your pills," Chu Yu said straight to the point.

The mouth was so sloppy that Ming concubine wondered if she had borrowed their pills at some point and hadn't returned them, and said, "The pills are sold in Young Master Xiao's shop. If you want them, let the boy buy them." It's done."

After a pause, Ming concubine added, "Two taels of silver a piece, just take one piece a day."

"Fourth sister-in-law," Chu Ke called sweetly.

Goosebumps came out of the sweet sister-in-law, and she said, "The money for the pills is used for disaster relief. If you buy more, it will be regarded as a good deed by my government. The only pills left in my hand are half of them. Give it to Princess Langhuan, and half to Eldest Young Master."

Chu Mofeng saved her, and Princess Langhuan "helped" her.

Things have not come out, face still has to be taken care of, about ten pills.

Chu Dai said, "Money is not the problem, the problem is that if you go now, you can't buy it even if you have money."

Ming concubine thought for a while and told Xi'er, "Give ten pieces to the eldest girls. If you have enough for today, you can buy them tomorrow morning."

"Sister-in-law four, ten is not enough," Chu Ke said.

"Then it's fifteen, is there any more?" Ming concubine said.

Xi'er turned around and murmured, "Everyone will give thirty pills in the morning, no one cares."

Chu Yu's face was hot.

When the brocade box came out, Chu Yu gave Xi'er a hard look, and Xi'er held the brocade box tightly.

Chu Yu looked at Ming Concubine angrily, Xi'er let go of her hand, and stood silently behind Ming Concubine.

After they left, Ming concubine asked Xi'er to deliver pills to Chu Mofeng, while she took Qingxing to Fuyunxuan.

Ming concubine hadn't seen Princess Langhuan for a few days, and she was shocked when she saw her. Princess Langhuan lost weight twice, and her face was pale.

As soon as she saw Ming concubine, the servant girl knelt down and begged her, Ming concubine put down the brocade box, "This is a pill to prevent the plague, third sister-in-law remember to take it."

Princess Langhuan's eyes burst into hatred, "The plague has poisoned me to death, it's not worthy of your heart!"

Mingyu smiled slightly, "You're right, but I still have to take into account the opinions of outsiders. I'm not a heartless person who knows how to reciprocate a favor."

Princess Langhuan's blood was surging, and she almost didn't bring it up in one breath.

Didn't stay long, Ming concubine stood up and said, "I won't disturb third sister-in-law's recuperation, let me leave."

After speaking, she walked away.

It is better to say that she is here to deliver medicine, to see how embarrassed Princess Langhuan is, and to anger her by the way.

She wants to see how long she can carry it.

After a tiring day, my concubine should not sleep soundly at night. When I woke up the next morning, Chu Mochen had already left the house.

Xueyan and Haitang didn't come back until breakfast, and they yawned profusely when they entered the room.

Seeing this, Xi'er asked, "You two didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Ming concubine was too tired to make the pills, Chu Mochen didn't want her to work hard, so she asked her to write the prescription, and asked Zhao Feng to send it to Young Master Xiao's pharmacy, fearing that there would not be enough manpower, and also afraid that the first time the pills would be made unfamiliar, let Xueyan and Haitang help.

Xue Yan said, "We have been busy all night, and just now everyone fell asleep in the carriage."

Ming concubine said casually, "Sit down and have some breakfast, then go back to the house and rest."

The two maids were very obedient, and they sat down and ate heartily.

Ming concubine ate another half bowl of porridge and went out. Zhao Feng stepped forward and said, "The plague is under control. Those people took the medicine and their condition did not get worse."

Minnie nods.

The plague was discovered early, and when there were no casualties, it was strangled in time to minimize the loss.

After three days, those refugees who were dizzy, chest tight and short of breath felt relaxed, Ming concubine knew they were all right, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that within two days, even greater bad news spread to Beijing.

The plague spread in Licheng two hundred miles away from Kyoto. Hundreds of people died overnight, countless livestock were wailing everywhere.

When this news reached Minnie Ming's ears, she was severely startled.

How could this be?
With the same prescription, all the refugees in Kyoto were healed, why did Licheng break out?

"Didn't the emperor send an imperial physician to cure the plague?" Ming concubine looked at Chu Mochen and asked.

Chu Mochen frowned with good looks, "The emperor did indeed send the imperial physician. No one dares to take such a big matter seriously. Could it be that the plague is different?"

There are many kinds of plagues, and there is indeed such a possibility, but Mingyu feels that this possibility is very small, "These refugees came from Licheng, they should be the same, and the plague will not kill hundreds of people at one time, those who resist The weak will not be able to bear it first, even if the imperial doctor can't heal, he will report it to the court as soon as possible, how could it be delayed until today?"
