Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 67
Now that Wei Mingrou is married, she is wearing the wedding gown prepared for Ming Concubine, not only the wedding gown, but also the dowry was brought into the palace by her. In a month, no matter how much she prepares, she can't compare to Wei Mingrou. Not even half.

In addition, Ming concubine suffered so much at the bottom of the cliff, and when she came back, she rescued Mrs. Su again. Su was full of guilt. She didn't know how to make up for it. She had to give Ming concubine her favorite Zhaoxia brocade and let her wear it to get married. Only then can she feel better.

The Zhaoxia brocade is so beautiful that you can't take it away just by looking at it, but Ming concubine refused, "Mother, you can keep it, I don't need such precious silk and satin as a wedding dress."

Su smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Mother only has your unmarried daughter, if I don't give it to you, who will you give this Zhaoxia Brocade to?"

Originally, Ming concubine didn't have much willpower, and Su Shi said so again, Ming concubine didn't think she wanted it too much, after all, this body was still the daughter of Su's first relative...

Ming concubine happily called mother, touched a few more, couldn't put it down, Su smiled and said, "Okay, let embroiderer take it back to Su's embroidery, and you can touch it any way you want later."

Ming concubine's cheeks flushed, and the embroidered lady took the brocade box and said, "The cousin girl is elegant and leisurely, with a beautiful personality, demure and dignified. Wearing the wedding dress of Zhaoxia brocade, she will definitely be the crowning beauty."

After Xiuniang left, Manager Li came in after a while, and the servant behind him carried two big boxes. The old lady raised her brows slightly when she saw her, "This is..."

Mr. Li couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "The eldest girl wants medicinal materials, and my wife went to Su's house. I asked Lord Hou how much to buy. Lord Hou said casually that it was half a catty. I went to the pharmacy to buy it myself. Two, and two big boxes."

Ming concubine looked surprised, but she silently praised Daddy Cheap from the bottom of her heart.

The old lady shook her head secretly and asked, "But you bought it at Zhouji Pharmacy?"

Manager Li nodded, and the old lady smiled knowingly.

The son born by herself knows his temperament very well. Doctor Zhou found a prescription to cure him. Lord Hou is happy and willing to take care of the family's business. If he can be cured, she will give Doctor Zhou a thousand taels of red envelopes.

Then, Ming concubine returned to the study with two big boxes of medicinal materials, Xi'er took the medicine bag and said, "Girl, there is writing on it, Huang... Huang..."

It was yellowed several times, but nothing came out of it.

My memory is really long, I didn't read half of the words, Ming concubine looked over and saw the words on the medicine package, she twitched the corner of her mouth, Xi'er didn't read half of it, she couldn't read half of it.

Xi'er silently put down the medicine bag and changed it to another one, and said happily, "This is Coptis chinensis, this servant knows."

Ming concubine sniffed the fragrance of the medicine, and said, "The previous one was Huang Tier, which mainly treats damp-heat jaundice, damp-heat infusion, knee swelling and pain, dampness, eczema, hot flashes due to bone steam, night sweats, nocturnal emission..."

As soon as the medicine was mentioned, Ming concubine couldn't stop, but Xi'er's words made her wheels stop and smoke.

Xi'er looked studious and asked, "What is nocturnal emission?"

Ming concubine, "..."

What is she going to talk so much about? Does she still want to teach Xi'er as an apprentice?
Concubine Ming didn't speak, Xi'er thought to herself that the girl must memorize it by rote, and half of the bucket of water was shaking, so she changed the subject and said, "Girl, you said peony flower sauce earlier, is it delicious?"

She is still more interested in eating. There are so many peonies in the garden. Turning around, the flowers are lost. It's too wasteful. It's better to use them to fill the Wu Zang Temple.

Mingyu can't explain what is left behind, but Peony Flower Sauce, she can still explain it.

Xi'er listened very carefully, and when Ming concubine finished speaking, she asked with eyes so bright that you couldn't bear it, "Girl, can this servant pick the peony flowers in the yard to make flower sauce?"

Ming concubine couldn't bear it, she nodded, and Xi'er went out to pick peonies.

Ming concubine continued to work, and two quarters of an hour later, a servant girl knocked on the door and said anxiously, "Girl, Mother Zhou wants to beat the Xi'er board."

Ming concubine was taken aback when she heard that, she was very nice, what did Zhou's mother do beating Xi'er?
Mingyu hurriedly dropped what she was doing and ran out, and then she was in a mess.

Of the eight or nine pots of peonies, except for two pots that have not been touched, only the green leaves and stamens are left, and the petals are all gone, so there is no beauty at all. Isn't this a bit cruel?

Over there, Zhou's mother grabbed Xi'er's ear and Xi'er cried out, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, mother Zhou, pull it softly, my ear is about to fall off."

Zhou's mother was so angry that she just went to the embroidery room, and the yard was ruined when she came back, "You still know that your ears hurt. When you pulled those petals, you thought that those petals hurt too. You have to be ruthless to be able to do it and bring disaster to these peonies!"

Xi'er burst into tears from the pain, and Ming concubine also felt that Xi'er should be beaten. It was enough for her to pick a few petals and taste the taste. She was planning to eat the flower sauce as a meal.

"Girl, help me!" Xi'er asked Ming concubine for help.

Hanyuyuan made Zhou's mother unhappy, and only a girl could save her.

Ming concubine helped her forehead, and before she could speak, Zhou's mother said, "Girl, don't spoil her. Although the peonies in Hanyu Garden are not so precious and rare, they are worth a lot of money. This bottle of flower sauce is worth a lot." How much, if I went there in time, she still wants to go to the garden to pick some peonies, even if she sells all the maidservants in Hanyu Garden, she won’t be able to buy them back.”

Xi'er's eyes were red from the pain, Ming concubine remembered the hut at the bottom of the cliff, she opened her eyes, and saw Xi'er sitting on the little bed guarding her, her eyes were red, and there were tears, but she woke up , she was as happy as something.

Mingyu sighed, and said, "I didn't intend to spoil her. Since I picked all the peonies and beat her, wouldn't there be no one to make flower sauce? I would punish her to continue making flower sauce, and she wouldn't be allowed to eat it when it was ready."

Xi'er, "..."

Girl, you can't do this!
Seeing Xi'er's broken expression, the maids covered their mouths and laughed, and Zhou's mother couldn't help laughing. For a person who loves to eat, not letting her eat is the greatest pain and punishment. Besides, Xi'er and Ming concubine fell together. Ya, taking good care of her is not an unforgivable fault. The Hou Mansion will not punish her. Mother Zhou is afraid that Xi'er will be arrogant if she is favored by her. She will not really beat her up if she kills her.

Ming concubine begged for mercy, and Zhou's mother let go, and said with a stern face, "That's how I should punish her."

Xi'er was so pouted that she could hang a urinal, and Zhou's mother stretched out her hand. Xi'er was afraid that her ears would be pulled again, so she ran away in a hurry, and turned her head to make faces when she was still waiting for a beating.

Ming concubine shook her head, turned and went back to the study.

The sound of pounding medicine continued into the middle of the night.

The maids in the yard didn't sleep well, and the next day, when they were sweeping the fallen leaves, they yawned profusely.

Xueyan was sitting on the corridor, hugging the big red lacquered pillar and taking a nap, a little maid came over and said, "Sister Xueyan, what did you do last night, the study room was crackling, and the candles were still on when I got up at night."

Xueyan shook her head, half-truthfully said, "I don't know what the girl is busy with, she is reading medical books while fiddling, and Xi'er and I have almost worn out our mouths, and the girl always says it will be fine in a while, so I am so busy until late at night. "

Ming concubine is a night owl, she doesn't feel anything, poor maids who fell asleep early in ancient times, really can't bear the sleepiness, the maid is worried, "Young lady doesn't behave like this every day, does she?"

Xueyan shook her head, she didn't know, she had never seen someone who stayed up so late and went to bed so energetic.
