Red makeup against the world

Chapter 540 A Day in the Small Yard

The days flowed slowly like Luoshui flowing slowly.

As the cultural, political, and economic center of the world, Luoyang City is as splendid and prosperous as ever, and will not lose its color because of the absence of anyone.Every day, there are epic vicissitudes and joys and sorrows.

Xu Wanzhen's small courtyard is like a small, quiet pond branched off from the ever-flowing river.

Here, time seems to have been frozen. Whoever comes and goes, only makes ripples on the water surface of the pond, and soon returns to calm.

As Xu Wan really fell into a coma, Madam Zheng could no longer stay out of it.After reporting to Mrs. Xu, she took the initiative to take up the responsibility of the nurse in charge of her courtyard.

She divided the serving maids into two shifts, Caisi and Qingluo were in one group, Sangzi and Qingmai were in one group, and each was paired with a little maid, and they took turns changing shifts day and night.

Wen Mulan still shoulders the duty of guarding. There is a maid who is in charge of sweeping and sweeping in the courtyard, and two maids are in charge of running errands. This is the entire staff in the small courtyard.

All the people have only one purpose, which is to take good care of Xu Wanzhen's body, so that her bedside cannot be separated from others for a moment.

Everyone's work and rest are still the same as usual.

When the rooster crowed in the morning, she washed, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and ate meals for Xu Wanzhen.

Su Liangzhi would come to take her pulse every three days to observe whether there was any change in her body.

Although she did not wake up, she had no problems swallowing liquid food.Madam Zheng discussed some prescriptions with Su Liangzhi and Mr. Ning, and made porridge and medicinal meals for her to nourish her body and beautify her face in different ways.

Lily porridge, Poria cocos porridge, minced chicken porridge, mountain delicacies porridge, lotus porridge, bird's nest porridge, yam barley porridge, pumpkin and millet porridge, ginseng porridge, apple stalk rice porridge, acacia flower brown sugar porridge, rose red date porridge...etc. There are dozens of them, not to mention the various soups and drinks.

In order not to make it difficult for her to swallow, the ingredients in the porridge were sifted and sifted, and the original appearance of the ingredients could hardly be seen after being ground.Those that really can't be ground are fished out after being stewed carefully.

On the top is Empress Dowager Xiao's attention, on the middle there is Mrs. Xu's love, and on the bottom there is Xu Wenmin who keeps adding money to the yard's account.It is not an exaggeration to say that this small courtyard with a dozen people can get everything they want.

Three meals a day as usual, in order to prevent bed sores, but also to make her joints normal after waking up.Madam Zheng arranged for someone to help Xu Wanzhen get out of bed, move around, and go to the clean room to change clothes.

When the weather is fine, a deck chair will be placed in the small courtyard, and she will be helped to lie down on it, covered with a thin quilt, to bask in the sun.

At this time, Mother Zheng would play the piano, or Qing Luo would tell Xu Wanzhen interesting things that happened in Beijing, or Mrs. Xu would come to check on her complexion, or Mr. Ning would come to visit Yu She, or Tu Manzhen came to talk to her about her troubles, or Mrs. Zhuang came to visit with her two daughters, and Shi Jingze watched her silently at the courtyard gate...

In the evening, wash and shower as usual.Madam Zheng personally massaged Xu Wanzhen's body to maintain muscle elasticity, and then applied balm.

After changing into her pajamas, she put on another piece of home clothes, and helped her to lie down on her favorite soft couch by the window.

At this time, Xu Wenyu will definitely come to visit Ajie.Climbed onto the soft couch, as usual, put his head against her shoulder, felt her gentle body temperature, and babbled with her about what happened in the academy.

What Xun got the first grade in the exam, Fatty Chang had learned a lesson and didn't dare to bully others anymore, a new student came to the class, and it was the first time to take imperial art class and so on.

Sometimes, Xu Wenmin would come with him.

With the purchase of silk fans and silk flowers in the palace, the reputation has been established. In a short period of time, the Xu family's business has grown bigger and bigger. When merchants from all over the world come to Luoyang City, they must bring these two things back.The workshop is rushing to work day and night, and the supply is still in short supply.Shopkeeper Yu is already looking at new places and plans to expand the workshop.

Even the humble ready-to-wear shops have become the first choice of ordinary people because of their affordable prices and durable fabrics.As the refugees gradually resettled and returned to their hometowns, they brought the name of the Xu family clothing back to their hometowns, and there were many buyers for a while.Cheap ready-to-wear garments can be produced quickly, and there is no need for delicate work such as embroidery. Xu Wenmin plans to start a shop on both sides of the Yellow River.

The business of Jinxiuji's old store is also getting better and better.Empress Dowager Xiao sent Liuli to buy ten horses of fashionable clothes and materials back to the palace under her banner.The wives in Jingli moved after hearing the news, and almost stepped down the threshold of Jinxiuji.With the endorsement of Queen Mother Xiao, the Xu family is not an imperial merchant, but better than an imperial merchant.

The Zeng family, who had never taken the Xu family seriously, and even took the Xu family as the culprit in the case of the emperor's heir, watched the Xu family's soaring momentum, and avoided Xu Wenmin in Nanshi, for fear of accidentally offending him. .

Xu Wenmin would pick up the important ones and tell Xu Wanzhen about these business matters.

Baicaowei is also open.

Because Xu Wanzhen was in a coma, Mr. Ning resigned from Tu's tutoring position two months in advance, and took over all the affairs of Baicaowei.Xu Wenmin is in charge of the management, and she is in charge of the content, including Su Liangzhi's medicinal diet, her health-preserving tea, the style of silver candlesticks and silver tableware, the training of dessert maids and so on.etc.

She posted a post, inviting rich people who had contacts with her, female disciples who had taught, etc., and there was an endless stream of guests on the opening day.

The best among Mr. Ning's disciples: Princess Miao of Chu, and Lu Shi, wife of Duke Zhong's son, brought their acquainted wives to celebrate.The two young wives of the Tu family, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan, both brought their children to try it out.In addition, the young masters and wives of the marquis' mansions and uncle's mansions, the ministers of the Ministry of rites, the ministers of the household department, and the young masters and wives of the servants, etc., all attended the scene one after another.

The two major factions in Beijing, the nobles and the civil servants, who dislike each other, gained a strange peace on the day Baicaowei opened.It is no exaggeration to say that on this day, most of the well-known families in the capital city came to congratulate Baicao Weiwei, and the carriages that came brought the traffic of half of the square to a standstill.

Here, although some people came for Empress Dowager Xiao who was behind the Xu family, Mr. Ning's extensive connections were only revealed at this time.

What made Luoyang people talk about it even more is that Baicaowei opened, and Empress Dowager Xiao also sent someone to send a few words.Opening the scroll, it turned out to be Emperor Qinglong's imperial pen "Baicaowei" in three full and powerful characters, and the private seal "Master Qingfeng" stamped on the signature is the name of Emperor Qinglong.

All the people present here are knowledgeable people, and they recognized Emperor Qinglong's imperial brush with just a few breaths.This time, it was like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan, and the crowd suddenly boiled up.Some are congratulatory, some are jealous, and some rush forward to seek a relationship...

Xu Wenmin was busy with shopkeeper Yu carefully taking the words, and engraved a gold lacquer plaque overnight to replace the previous plaque of Baicaowei.Naturally, the original work of the imperial brush was carefully mounted again, and was collected in Mrs. Xu's room.
