“No, I heard that these noble ladies usually disdain to use Qiao’s things, thinking they are not high-grade enough. Some of them cannot buy the real thing even if they spend money, so they have to settle for the second best.
These people are all old customers of the Wen family shop for many years, including Concubine Wen and the queens in the palace, all of them have been tricked."
The waiter's eyes sparkled with gossip as he spoke: "What's even more amazing is that even the imperial physician couldn't find a solution! Because there aren't any poisonous herbs in the prescription!"
The two looked at each other and asked in unison: "What happened next?"
"Later, the Wen family turned the tables, saying that the Qiao family's stuff was problematic and that they couldn't be blamed! After all, some people had used rouge and powder from both families.
But there are also a group of self-righteous people who have only used things from the Wen family and have also encountered problems. For example, Concubine Wen of the Qi Palace trusted her natal family so much that she suffered this disaster, but those who only used rouge and powder from the Qiao family were fine!"
Xu Can took a deep breath and said, "This time the Wen family will be in trouble if they don't die!"
Chu Yuan sighed: "That's right, that's the face. Women dress up to please themselves. If you ruin a woman's appearance, it will ruin her happiness for the rest of her life. Who can forgive you!"
As one of the protagonists at the center of the gossip, Qiao Xin, after sending away the eunuch Cao who came to ask questions, stretched lazily, and in a very good mood called for Nanny Qin to accompany her to Jun Kang Hall.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw that the medicine grinder under the apprentice's feet was about to rub sparks. There was also half a sack of medicine waiting to be ground next to it.
There is no end to it, it really is endless!
There is already a lot of work to do on weekdays, and the steward suddenly added more workload to them a few days ago. Even if they were paid double the wages, they still cannot finish the work!
Qiao Xin watched the apprentice skillfully sorting the medicinal materials with his fingers and massaging the medicine grinder with his feet. For the first time, she felt like an evil capitalist!
Zhang Zhi smiled when he saw Qiao Xin: "Madam, why are you here?"
"If you have nothing to do, come and take a look. Find some strong people to grind the medicine. The child is still young, don't assign him too heavy work."
"Isn't this because we are rushing to meet the deadline? I don't know why, but there have been too many people coming to see Doctor Mo for facial treatments in the past two days, and the spare medicine is simply not enough!"
Qiao Xin smiled meaningfully: "This has just begun, why are you in such a hurry? Just do your thing and don't worry about me, I'll go take a look at the back!" After saying that, she turned around and went to find Dr. Mo!
Zhang Zhi paused in his steps, thinking of the news coming from the capital, and an incredible idea popped into his mind!
No way, it can't be what he thinks?
Oh my god, something big is going to happen!
Zhang Zhi's heart was trembling with fear, and he quickly told his clerk to notify someone to raise the price of the facial ointment that Doctor Mo had requested by a few taels of silver.
........
No one knew what Doctor Mo whispered to Qiao Xin. Nanny Qin was obviously happier after seeing her master coming back from the clinic.
Qiao Xin drank a bowl of sweet chicken soup, and her stomach immediately felt warm.
This kind of good life is the standard for retirement. Even if another hundred years pass, you won’t get bored of it!
After resting for a while, Qiao Xin became full of energy again.
When Qiao Yunting rushed over, he saw Qiao Xin sitting alone by the river in the slanting wind and drizzle, with a fishing rod and a straw raincoat, looking leisurely and contented.
When I got closer, I saw that the wooden barrel next to it was already filled with newly grown crucian carp.
Qiao Yunting rarely saw Qiao Xin so relaxed!
For a moment, I felt that what my nephew said was so right. If they hadn't restrained my mother, she would have lived a life like this long ago!
Qiao Xin swung the fishing rod and a crucian carp was brought out of the water, but its mouth was hooked and it could only struggle desperately!
“I’m back!”
"Well, mother, His Majesty has named his son a prince and given Jiangcheng to me!"
"This is a good thing. Come on, I'll make you some crucian carp to celebrate!"
Qiao Yunting took the fishing gear from Qiao Xin's hand and told her how he was going to deal with the Zhou family's affairs as they walked.
He gave up everything the Zhou family had. Some people in the Zhou family were happy, while others were worried.
On the day the imperial edict was read, his biological father and grandmother fainted on the spot, while people from other families secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without him, the biggest competitor for the head of the family, his biological father's family was completely kicked out. Others had the opportunity to take the position, how could they not be happy?
But these things have nothing to do with him!
He came here to share his joy with Qiao Xin and ask for help from his mother.
Qiao Xin stopped and looked at him in surprise: "You want me to go to Jiangcheng?"
"Oh, mother, you helped my second brother build Yuncheng so well, why don't you come to my territory and give your son some advice!"
What Qiao Yunting said seemed to be a matter of course, but Qiao Xin's eyes went dark, as if her leisurely retirement life was like a scumbag who had just teased her and then said goodbye mercilessly!
What a sin! Are these big boys taking turns to collect debts?
But it’s justifiable to help the second brother and not the third brother!
"What can I do?"
"Mother, His Majesty asked his son to build a horse farm in Jiangcheng. He is responsible for building the first tea-horse farm in the north. He needs to figure out a plan first so that it can be promoted in other border areas in the future. His Majesty also hopes that you can lend a hand!"
Qiao Xin suddenly felt like she had no desire to live. The abacus beads between the uncle and nephew were clattering so loudly that they bounced onto her face. Even the donkey in the production team was not used like this.
Qiao Xin was about to refuse, but was stopped by Qiao Yunting's words.
"His Majesty has decreed that you will be the first director of the Tea and Horse Department!"
Qiao Xin swallowed the word "no" that was about to come out of her mouth, and asked, "Will those old stubborn people agree?"
Qiao Yunting chuckled: "This matter is all thanks to the Wen family's clever operation. Now that the situation has come to this, everyone has to agree even if they don't want to. They still have something to ask of my mother!"
The mess that the Wen family had created this time just gave them an opportunity. They were already helpless in dealing with the disfigurement.
But the palace has received news that the Imperial Concubine's condition has been brought under control after using Doctor Mo's ointment. She should be able to fully recover in about a month.
It was like hearing thunder in the silence, which made everyone dizzy and dazzled!
If they don't want their wives and daughters to have rotten faces every day, they have to put aside their status and beg the doctors at Jun Kang Tang to treat them!
Qiao Xin didn't know what to say for a moment. Her original intention was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to teach the Wen family a lesson while also making some money from the wealthy family.
She and Doctor Mo have already discussed it, and any noble person in that situation who comes to seek medical treatment will be treated slowly.
A bottle of medicine was sold to them for fifty taels, and only three days' supply was given at a time. After a month's treatment, a lot of oil and water could be scraped out.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu used her even more thoroughly and actually arranged an official position for her!
Those who play politics have hearts as sharp as sieves, they are cruel and ruthless, and you can't mess with them!
