One hundred and thirty-eight
Today, the wife of the prefect said to her close maid that, given her status, she doesn't need to be too frugal and the things she uses must be commensurate with her status.
It was these words that made Yu Ying feel more confident and bold, and she dared to use rare ingredients to make facial creams and masks.
——For example, pearls and ginseng.
Pearl whitens, moisturizes and smoothes the skin, while ginseng nourishes and smoothes the skin, resists wrinkles and prevents aging.
Although Yu Ying dared to use it, she still ground a small pearl and a few ginseng roots into fine powder and mixed them according to the proportion.
Five taels of silver were used to make something weighing less than half a tael. When used with honey and milk, it can be used about ten times.
Use it once every three days and it will last for about a month.
In order to ensure the exact dosage, she prepared a spoon and a cup for milk.
In addition to the mask, the facial cream also uses a combination of pearls and ginseng, which can also be used for a month.
The cost of the last two is twelve taels.
There is also a cleansing cream and a lotion made from aloe vera, also known as elephant gall, which weighs only thirteen taels.
Yu Ying was not a sincere person. Adding to what the old woman said, the cost was twelve taels. She proposed thirty-eight taels, more than three times the price.
The people the prefect's wife knows are either rich or noble. If she uses this information effectively, she will be like a living signboard and will never have to worry about business.
Yu Ying carefully wrote down the instructions for use and planned to deliver it to the prefect's wife in person tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Song Sanlang came over.
He said that the demand for facial cream had increased a lot because of the dry weather in autumn. He could sell more than ten cans of facial cream every day. Combined with rouge and lip balm, without reducing the cost, he could earn about six or seven hundred coins, and should make a profit of seven or eight taels a month.
This shed is more profitable than an ordinary small shop. After all, the rent of a shop is not cheap. If she opens a shop, it may not be better than the current situation. Yu Ying temporarily gave up the idea of opening a shop.
In addition, Renshan Medical Clinic also placed orders for facial cream at two price points, three hundred and five hundred cans respectively, and paid some deposit, so the profit was only more than twenty taels.
The business issues were not complicated and were quickly discussed. Then Song Sanlang hesitated for a while before saying that the wedding date had been set.
He still planned to return to Lingshui Village to hold the wedding banquet.
Although he was extremely disappointed with the Song family and didn't want them to get involved, Song Sanlang didn't want his fiancée's family, the Su family, to think that he didn't value his fiancée enough just because he was working at the county government office.
Song Sanlang also asked He Erlang to help find someone to repair the thatched hut he had lived in before and buy some furniture. They would stay in the village for a few days when they got married.
We had no money before, so even the thatched hut was built with the help of the Fu and He families, not to mention the furniture, which was barely habitable.

The next morning, Yu Ying went to the prefect's mansion first.
The wife of the prefect seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. Although her complexion was not as good as it was yesterday after she had the surgery, her condition was better than yesterday.
His brows were filled with joy and a smile was on his face.
I guess Governor Shen must have stayed in her yard yesterday.
After giving me the things and giving me detailed instructions on how to use them, before leaving, the prefect's wife suddenly said, "Your Excellency heard yesterday that the female doctor who came to treat me was the wife of Fu Muyou. She told me that if Doctor Yu comes back today, I will tell you about the letter from Wuling County."
Yu Ying pretended to be surprised.
"What a coincidence! Yesterday, a letter arrived from Wuling County. It was written by the Magistrate Huo himself. His Excellency didn't specify the content, only one sentence."
The prefect's wife thought for a moment and then continued, "In Cangwu County, Prefect Huo will ensure that no one from the Huo family will harm Fu Muli again."
Yu Ying felt relieved immediately and bowed to express her gratitude.
This outpatient visit was well worth it.
I made some money, achieved some success in dealing with noble people, and received some excellent news.
However, Fu Wei's adoptive father's words were ambiguous. They could only ensure that the Huo family members would not take action within Cangwu, but the situation would be different outside Cangwu. At the same time, they also hinted that Fu Wei should stay in his place and not think about climbing up.
Despite this, at least we are safe now.
The prefect's wife must have found that statement somewhat strange, so she wondered, "Logically, having raised him as her own child for twenty years, the bond should surely be closer than with a child you haven't seen in twenty years, but why does he seem so cold?"
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Yu Ying then said cautiously, "I have asked my husband before, but he never says much."
This was a sad matter after all, so it was normal that Fu Wei didn't want to mention it, and the prefect's wife didn't become suspicious.
After saying goodbye, Yu Ying went to the clinic to see a female patient. After the examination, she returned to the inn and gave the ten packets of prepared medicinal materials to Song Sanlang, asking him to make facial cream.
Yu County is small, not as big as the county seat, and the required oil and fat is limited. When there was not enough oil in the past, people had to go to Lin County to buy it.
A large amount of facial cream is needed. Yu Ying has a clinic to run and also has to go out for medical consultations, so she doesn't have the energy to take care of it. Therefore, she only needs to prepare the medicinal materials. Soaking and boiling them are not difficult, and Song Sanlang is also careful in his work, so she handed it over to him.
After staying in the county seat for two days, he returned to Yu County early on the third morning.
We returned to Yu County before dusk on the sixth day.
When he returned home, he didn't see Fu Wei and Fu Zhen, so he asked about Fu An.
Fu An replied, "The government office is busy, so my uncle and father have simply stayed at the government office these days."
Living in the county government office?
Avoid disaster?
Yu Ying always felt that something was not right, but thinking that she would go to the yamen early tomorrow morning, she didn't think too much about it.
When she returned to her room, someone knocked on her door.
Yu Ying thought it was Fu Ning, and while packing her belongings, she replied, "The door is not closed, just come in."
The door opened, and Yu Ying didn't even turn around. She asked directly, "What's wrong?"
Fu An's voice came from behind: "Aunt, uncle doesn't live in the yamen because he is busy."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying put down what she was holding and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
As if he had thought of something, his heart skipped a beat: "But what kind of injury did he suffer?"
Fu An shook his head: "It wasn't my uncle who was injured, nor was it my father who was injured. It was Wu Yacha who was knocked into a ditch while he was off duty yesterday and broke his leg."
Yu Ying's face darkened.
The person who accompanied Fu Zhen to send Fu Wei home every day was Wu Xiaoyacha.
When he was off duty, he was knocked into a ditch, and there was a very deep ditch between the yamen and his home.
It is very likely that Wu Xiaoyachai was implicated.
Wuling's letter was a little late after all.
Fu An continued, "Although I saw a doctor, my uncle asked my aunt to go to the government office after she comes back, bringing the needle and thread for sutures."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "My uncle said that he might not be at peace these days, but he was afraid that grandma would worry, so he said that he was busy at the government office and that's why he didn't come back."
Yu Ying's expression was serious. After estimating the time, she said to Fu An, "Come with me back to the clinic now. After getting some medicine, we'll go to the government office. We should be able to get there before dark."
She asked Fuan to wait outside the house for a while, quickly changed her clothes, packed some things, and went out with him.
Seeing them about to leave, Luo asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"
Yu Ying was carrying some cakes and clothes she had bought from the county seat, and she said, "If Erlang doesn't come back, I'll go get him some food and a set of clothes."
"Wait, I made some chicken soup and will serve a jar to the brothers as well."
Knowing that her second daughter-in-law would be coming back today, Mrs. Luo specially slaughtered a chicken.
Mrs. Luo quickly prepared the chicken soup, and Yu Ying went out carrying a jar.
He first went to the clinic to get some medicine for his injuries, and then hurried to the government office.
When we arrived at the yamen, it was already dark and the gate was closed.
After knocking on the gate, a yamen runner came to open it. Seeing that it was Mr. Fu's wife, he politely asked, "Doctor Yu, are you here to look for Mr. Fu?"
Yu Ying nodded.
The yamen runners didn't dare to rush the man into the yamen, and only said, "Mr. Fu is in the back hall. I'll go get him."
The yamen runner walked towards the back hall. After only half a moment, Fu Wei, who was wearing a blue shirt with a cross collar and a cloth scarf on his head, walked around the screen wall and towards the main gate.
Seeing that Fu Wei was fine, Yu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Wei walked quickly to her, took the medical kit from her, and also took the jar of soup from Fu An's hand, and asked, "Did you just get back?"
Yu Ying: "I went to the clinic before coming here."
"First, come with me to see the situation of Wu Yachai. I will go to your house later."
Then he turned to look at the yamen runner and said, "My wife and I will go to see the yamen runner Wu's leg injury first. I'll take her out later."
The yamen runner nodded.
Fu Wei led Yu Ying and Fu An into the yamen and first went to the house where he and Fu Zhen lived.
He said to Fu Zhen, "Brother, please push the yamen runner Wu over here."
Fu Zhen took Fu An out of the house.
After the people left, Fu Wei and Yu Ying explained, "Wu Yachao lives in a shared bunk bed, which is occupied by all men, so it's not very convenient."
Yu Ying nodded, and then asked with a worried tone: "Are you really going back tonight?"
Fu Wei whispered, "This morning, I received a letter from the county governor, explaining my safety in Cangwu."
Yu Ying: "I happened to hear about this incident when I was treating the wife of the prefect. However, the news has only just arrived in Cangwu, so I'm afraid the information on the road may not be that accurate."
Fu Wei shook his head, his face gloomy: "Based on my understanding of that person, if the letter arrives, he will be able to guarantee it."
"I understand what he means. He wants me to stay in Cangwu so that I can be safe. But if I leave Cangwu, I'm afraid he will let Huo Minzhi target me. But whether it will endanger my life or not, he is afraid that I will know that my biological father was persecuted by him. In the end, I will do everything I can to clear my father's name and avenge him."
Fu Wei's voice was cold, and his eyes were like the surface of a winter lake, covered with a layer of frost.
Yu Ying was about to speak when Fu Wei suddenly raised his hand to silence her.
She closed her lips, and after a while, Fu Zhen pushed Wu the yamen chopper into the house.
Fu Wei's legs and feet have recovered, and the wheelchair that was supposed to be retired is now useful again.
Wu Xiaoyachai was not careful and fell into the ditch. Not only was his leg scratched by the stones, but his face was also bruised and had several small cuts.
Although he looked like he had been beaten, he still stood up on one leg and bowed politely to Yu Ying.
"Don't be polite, let me take a look at your wound first."
Wu Xiaoyacha felt a little embarrassed, but he still sat down and let Fu An lift up his trouser legs to expose his calves.
Seeing the deep gash in the middle of her calf, almost reaching her ankle, Yu Ying couldn't help but gasp.
If this is not sutured, it is unknown when it will heal. If it is not properly cared for, it will definitely leave sequelae.
Because it was Fu Wei who was injured, Yu Ying felt that she owed this young yamen runner Wu, so she checked it more carefully.
After checking and cleaning the wound, Yu Ying began to let Fu Wei cooperate in stitching up Wu Xiaoyachai's wound.
I don’t know when it started, but a lot of people gathered outside the door, and I don’t know when it started, but County Magistrate Zhou also stood outside the door to watch.
The flesh was turned inside out, and watching the needles being inserted into the skin, then the threads being pulled out, and then sutured again, it made people's scalps tingle. At the same time, they couldn't help but secretly admire Doctor Yu who remained calm across from them.
