Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 24 The Domineering Little Maid
The Li family in Sanyuan was originally a prominent local family, and there were quite a few high-ranking members in the family.

So after the second manager appeared, the quarrel over there had stopped. He walked towards Liu Mu, but Zhang Chuchen chose to avoid it.Because there are many things, such as Qin Qiong waiting here, Li Jing doesn't know, and it is not convenient for Li's mansion to know about it.

"Mr. Mu Xiaolang."

"Ping Guanshi." Liu Mu remembered this person, and last year he borrowed cattle for his family to use.After his father died in Luoyang, as a big family in Sanyuan, the Li family of Sanyuan sent some ceremonies to express their condolences.

After greeting each other, the second steward named Li Ping asked, "Mr. Mu Xiaolang, may I ask who is the real boss?"

Liu Mu didn't answer, he really couldn't answer.

Li Ping continued: "The ingredients for the perfume are precious, so I'm not suspicious, but Mr. Xiaolang understands."

In the woods over there, Qin Qiong patted Li Dejian. No matter what Liu Mu said at this time, it was useless. It was obvious that Liu Mu's family couldn't even afford food, so it was absolutely impossible to purchase these raw materials.

Those common sweet-scented osmanthus and cloves can also be found in the mountains.

But precious things like agarwood come from Nanyang, and ordinary wealthy households in Chang'an City dare not say that they have them at home.

So Qin Qiong signaled Li Dejian to come forward.

Unexpectedly, another person stood up at this time. "Guan Ping, what do you think?" The visitor spoke bluntly, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Not many people know her about this person, but the second manager of the Li family mansion knows her.

This girl's name is Baoqin.

If the surname is added, the full name is Dugu Baoqin, and her identity is a maidservant.

But at the words of this servant girl, Li Ping quickly cupped his hands: "I'm rude, I'm rude. I just want to order some special ones in advance. The fourth son of my family is now washing horses for the East Palace. Naturally, a servant should think more about the master. So look around and order some offerings to the East Palace."

"My master agrees, but I have to prepare the materials myself." After Baoqin finished speaking, he turned and left.

Liu Mu noticed that when Li Ping looked at him again, his eyes were very strange.But he spoke more kindly: "Mr. Mu Xiaolang, it's just that I don't know what it takes?"

"You prepare the ingredients. You need the spices and the wood of the top-quality wooden box. I have the rest here. I only charge one hundred yuan for a box."

"Okay, then I also make a request, only one."

"I promise to make it for you, and there will never be a piece of it leaked."

Steward Li Ping and Liu Mu lightly clapped their hands together: "I'll prepare the materials and send them here within three days."

"Yes."

Soon, the people on the roadside dispersed.

Baoqin alone makes these servants of the various mansions afraid to approach. As for who Baoqin is, Liu Mu didn't know, but the servants of these various mansions have heard of it.

The personal maid in the Taoist temple.

Liu Mu stood by the road, where money and silk were piled up.It is estimated that there are hundreds of guan.

Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others all appeared, and Liu Ruyu sat on the pile of money, clacking with an abacus, calculating how much profit this time.

The old wolf came running from a distance: "Mr. Mu, old wolf, I have been walking in the green forest for many years. Now I can say that you owe a big favor and got into a very big trouble."

"Ah, don't scare me, I'm young and timid." Liu Mu was startled.

"I don't want to scare you. You don't know the girl who gave you a head just now, but I have heard of it. It's a big background, so let me remind you that you are in big trouble."

"Big background?" Liu Mu was really startled.

But in retrospect, when the little girl came out just now, the second steward of the Li family's mansion, who would give three points of face to the ordinary gentry in the Sanyuan realm, was very respectful. It seems that what the old wolf said was true.

The old wolf nodded heavily under Qin Qiong's hint: "Rumors in the green forest, I can't be provoked or clingy. As for the rest, I dare not say, I still want to keep the eight and a half catties on my shoulders, and eat a few more bowls of your mutton Paomo. At most, I can show you a direction." After finishing speaking, the old wolf pointed to the distance.

Liu Mu looked in the direction.

Over there is the original, there are no people there, only...

Taoist temple!

"Hiss, this..." Liu Mu took a breath, then turned around and ran towards the Taoist temple.

Luckily Liu Mu didn't talk nonsense, he was almost ready to say just now, he already felt that something was wrong with Master Bai, how could it be possible for an ordinary woman to wear expensive soft-soled moccasin boots and the top-quality silk clothes.

It's a good thing you didn't tell Qin Qiong if you did. I, Liu Mu, can also see that your horse, knife, and bow are not ordinary.

Liu Ruyu had already settled the accounts, and cheerfully ordered the people to move the money and silk into the big house.There is a hundred thousand dollars here, after deducting the cost, plus wages.After subtracting the part of the willow wood that was wasted and given away, and subtracting the money to be distributed to Mrs. Li's family, there is still a net profit of almost 1 yuan.

This is already an astronomical income for small households.

Liu Mu knew the profit rate in his heart. Think about the sky-high price of perfume in later generations, isn't it just a few drops of perfume, so expensive that it kills people.

And my own thing, in Datang, is much better than the sky-high price of perfume.

Seeing Liu Ruyu walking away, Liu Zhengze came to Qin Qiong: "General, Brother Wolf has brought up a problem."

"I know, I didn't let it be mentioned."

"Yes, but Mr. Mu Xiaolang has indeed broken the rules. The Chang'an market has always been divided into expensive, rich, ordinary, and cheap. When the same firm conducts different businesses, it will also be divided into two shops. Mu Xiaolang You are going to take everything, which will inevitably arouse the hostility of some merchants. And some people will peep at his prescription."

Liu Zhengze's meaning is obvious, to do the business of the nobles and not to interfere with the business of the common people.

And Liu Mu, you have played too far.

What's more, the prescription for fragrant washing cannot be protected by a maidservant holding a piano.

Qin Qiong shook her head indifferently, and did not express any opinions.Yu Chigong laughed out loud, but also didn't speak.Yuchi Gong saw it more clearly, Qin Qiong's old mother, wife and children died in Luoyang, and the whole house was burned down.It can be said that the only thing left behind is the mahogany amulet made by Qin's mother when Qin Qiong traveled far away.

This amulet is now on Liu Ruyan, the aunt of the Liu family.

With this amulet alone, who dare not have eyes.

On the other side, the Taoist temple.

The willow man had already arrived at the Taoist temple, but he was not in a hurry to knock on the door. He walked around the Taoist temple three times and even looked at the tree next to him before knocking on the door of the Taoist temple.

Master Bai opened the door, then turned around and entered the courtyard.

Liu Mu followed into the yard, where there was a piece of paper pressed by stones on the stone table in the yard, Master Bai pointed to the paper and sat aside.

Liu Mu picked up the paper and read it: "Lilac, agarwood, green wood fragrance, peach blossom, stalactite powder, pearl, jade chips, Shushui flower, papaya flower, three or two each, Naihua, pear flower, red lotus flower, plum flower, cherry flower, Four liang each of hollyhock flower and inula flower, one baht of musk. Combine seventeen flavors, add pearls and jade shavings to make powder, combine seven times with soybean powder, and grind it a thousand times."
