Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 606 Rose Saltpeter

After the first lunar month, the days are slipping away rapidly day by day.

The weather is getting warmer too.

The ice and snow on Nanguan Mountain gradually melted in the warm sunshine, and the gurgling ice water nourished the vast wheat fields.

Although I haven't had time to take off my heavy cotton coat, the breeze blowing on my face still heralds the arrival of another spring.

"Mom, my face is itchy." Xiao Fuyuan lay on Mrs. Zhen's lap and rubbed her little face vigorously.

Most of the children in Shenshu Village will feel itchy when the warm wind blows and the dandruff on their faces comes in spring.

Most families don't care, and some children will scratch the scabs on their faces, leaving faint marks when they grow up.

Unlike the people in the village, Mrs. Zhen attaches great importance to the physical condition of her children.

As soon as Xiao Fuyuan said her face was itchy, Mrs. Zhen immediately paid attention to it.

Picking up Xiao Fuyuan, Zhen looked at it for a long time and found that Xiao Fuyuan's pink and tender face was red. Fortunately, the problem was not serious.

Mrs. Zhen opened the box on the bedside, took out the rose salt and applied it carefully to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan only felt the pink-white powder applied to her face, which was cool and fragrant, and the itching stopped immediately.

"Mom, what is this?" Xiao Fuyuan asked curiously.

This powder has great curative effects.

"Rose saltpeter." Zhen said with a smile.

The name is also nice.

This rose saltpeter is from when Zhen was a child in the Zhen Mansion, the girls and maids in each room would often feel itchy and dandruff on their faces when the warm wind blew in the spring.The mother of a maid in the fourth aunt's room knew medical skills and specially prepared it for the fourth aunt, which was most effective in nourishing the skin and relieving itching.

Later, the fourth aunt named it Rose Salt and gave the recipe to the matron, Zhen's mother, to distribute to everyone in the garden.

Zhen learned it naturally after having her ears wet and her eyes stained.

In the past, her family was poor and could not afford saltpeter and spices. Now that she is rich, Zhen made some rose saltpetre and kept it at home for later use.

Smelling the refreshing fragrance of roses, Zhen's thoughts flew to the capital.

The fourth child is about to take the test. I wonder if he will be able to pass high school this time.

If the eldest brother of the Zhen family knew about her, I wonder if the demonic trend would start again.

Naturally, I thought of my fourth aunt who is now the Queen Mother.

The Bai family reached an agreement before the year and decided to go to the capital to meet the Queen Mother after the year.

However, the eldest and second eldest children have not returned home yet, so the plan has been postponed.

Speaking of going to the capital, the children of the Bai family have been looking forward to it all day.

Especially Xiao Fuyuan, she was visibly happy as soon as the New Year was over. She spent the whole day planning where to go to the capital to enjoy the lanterns, flowers, and boating.

He grabbed Mrs. Zhen and kept asking questions.

After all, he is a child, very curious and easy to be happy.

Unlike Zhen, as spring gets closer and closer, she feels a bit nostalgic and timid.

"Mom, this rose saltpeter is so good, why don't you sell it in Third Sister-in-law's shop?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

It's a pity that such a good anti-itching and moisturizing product is only kept in the Bai family.

"Mom didn't expect it, but you reminded me and I will give the recipe to your third sister-in-law later." Madam Zhen pressed Xiao Fuyuan's cheek with a handkerchief and swept away the excess rose saltpeter powder.

After all, she is a daughter, and she can immediately think of making money.

She couldn't have imagined that the main reason was that she grew up in the Zhenguo Palace and had never been exposed to the ways of merchants since she was a child. Naturally, when she encountered something good, she couldn't think of it as a business.

Xiao Fuyuan couldn't help but sigh.

As the mother-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, she has rare embroidery skills and recipes for good things, but she has never thought of using them for business. What a pity!
Fortunately, I had an embroidery workshop at home, and my mother passed the embroidery skills to Qiuniang, who in turn passed it on to other embroidery workers.

Not only does it allow the Bai family to earn money, it also provides employment for women in Shenshu Village.Thinking of Qiuniang, Xiao Fuyuan also thought of the weird "seal" Qiuniang gave her.

She doesn't know the purpose of both Qiuniang and Cheng Mei giving her seals. The two seals look the same, but if you look closely at the patterns, they are different.

Since it was not clear, Xiao Fuyuan did not continue to struggle.

She was lucky anyway, and it was only a matter of time before things came to light.

"Mom, can dad come back today?" Xiao Fuyuan asked Zhen.

"Should come."

A few days ago, news came from Huaicheng that a battle was won on the Ningcheng border.

Not only did he resist the invasion of the Rong people, but Meng Zhexu led his army to fight all the way to the capital of the Rong state.

The leader of the Rong Kingdom fled to Mobei in panic.

The specifics are not clear to everyone.

The people of Shenshu Village did not care about the fate of the capital and the ruler of the Rong Kingdom. What they cared about was the people in Shenshu Village who transported food.

Because there was no precise information about them, even the news of Ningcheng's victory did not make the Bai family and the people of Shenshu Village too happy.

In order to find out the situation of his son and the grain transportation team of Shenshu Village, Bai Banban went to Huaicheng Magistrate Liu early yesterday morning to get the exact information.

Sure enough, as Zhen said, the white wooden board came back in the evening under the setting sun.

"Grandpa is back!"

Following Saburo's voice, Xiao Fuyuan ran out to greet him and went straight into the arms of the white wooden board.

"Dad, you must be tired."

Xiao Fuyuan handed the white wooden handkerchief to wipe sweat.

"I won't be tired if I have a daughter."

It was very tiring at first, but with the soft and caring care of his daughter, Bai Banban felt that he could still go on a day and night journey.

"Brother Bai is back."

"Uncle Bai is back."

When Village Chief Zhao and others learned that Bai Banban was back, they rushed to the village road, hoping to get news about their son/husband/grandson from him.

"General Meng won the battle, how are Da Zhuang and the others doing?" Village Chief Zhao spoke on behalf of everyone and asked anxiously.

Xie Chuntao held her young son in her arms and stood with Eugene Gui. The two sisters also looked at their father-in-law nervously, worried that something would happen to their men.

The white wooden board hugged Xiao Fuyuan, waved his hands and said: "It's amazing. The Rong Kingdom is not a good man. On New Year's Eve, when they were eating dumplings, they rushed to attack Ningcheng. This battle was terrible. It was said that Ningcheng City Wall They were all blown up, and even the common people went to the battlefield with shovels and pots..."

The white board went through the contents of the arrival report that Liu Hong told him from beginning to end.

When the people in Shenshu Village heard that the common people were going to fight, they couldn't help but panic. Wouldn't the people from the food transport team in Shenshu Village also go to the battlefield?
"Brother Bai, don't talk about anything else. How rich is my family?"

Liu Fugui's mother was so frightened that she lost her mind.

The parents of other family members in the village who participated in the grain transportation team had the same thoughts as Liu Fugui's mother, and they were all worried about the condition of their men/sons.

It is inevitable for people to overthink things when they are worried, and some aunts are even worried that Bai Banban cannot bear to tell everyone the bad news, so they start to lay the foundation for it.

After all, their men/sons are not like the three Bai Dazhuang brothers who have a lucky and good sister to support them!

"Dad, why don't you tell me first how are they doing?" Xiao Fuyuan stopped the white board in time.

Sure enough, Bai Banban listened to Xiao Fuyuan's words and said without hesitation: "Dazhuang and the others are fine, and those of us who transport food in Shenshu Village are fine. Not only are they fine, they have also made great contributions."

"What? Did you also perform meritorious service?"

"What achievements have you made?"

Village Chief Zhao became excited, holding on to the white wooden board and questioning him eagerly.
