On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yinding said seriously, "Princess, I ask for your help, not to take advantage of you. You have to pay for your own dinner. Saving money is one thing, and taking advantage of others is another."

He waved his hand: "Absolutely not."

For the first time, Yan Ruyu discovered that Yinding was usually cheerful, principled, and what he said made sense.

No wonder, the guys all respect him.

"Okay, whatever you say," Yan Ruyu gave him the token, "I'll lend it to you for a day. If you want to know what you want, go and talk to the shopkeeper."

Yinding happily took it: "Thank you, Princess!"

He carefully put the token away: "Return it immediately after use!"

Yan Ruyu nodded and handed him a longevity lock: "This is for you."

Yinding looked up and saw the longevity lock in her hand. He subconsciously said, "Is this for Governor Cao's little grandson? It's really beautiful."

I turned it over and over in my hand and suddenly saw the auspicious beast on it. It was chubby with small eyes. I looked again and saw a small word "Silver" on the top of the beast's head.

Yinding was stunned for a moment, and then he looked back and forth for a few times before he looked up at Yan Ruyu and said in disbelief: "Princess, this... this is... for me?"

"For you," Yan Ruyu answered affirmatively, "your own longevity lock."

Yinding's mouth flattened, his eyes turned red, and he rubbed his fingers back and forth: "It's so beautiful, this is the first longevity lock in my life."

Yan Ruyu looked at his excitement and felt a little sad for some reason. Yinding had been with Huo Changhe through thick and thin, and had always been optimistic and cheerful. He was bold, careful, and thoughtful, and was the backbone of the brothers. People almost forgot that he was only in his twenties.

Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, Yinding sniffed, "Princess, is this pure gold?"

Yan Ruyu: “…Yes.”

He put the silver ingot away with great care: "That's great, it will give us another piece of our treasury."

Yan Ruyu cleared her throat and handed him the remaining ones: "Take these back and distribute them to them. There are names on them."

Yinding picked up the small red envelope and looked at it, frowning slightly.

Yan Ruyu asked: "What?"

Yinding muttered quietly: "Why are they all the same size? Mine should be the biggest, at least one size bigger than theirs."

The bitter feeling Yan Ruyu had just felt disappeared completely.

"Hurry up and prepare the car. I want to go to the spice shop."

Yinding put the thing in his arms and ran away.

Yan Ruyu laughed angrily, and the Tibetan fox jumped onto the chair and rubbed her hand.

Yan Ruyu looked down at it and said, "You want it too? But you are yellow-haired, and you can't be seen wearing gold. I'll give you something else."

Yan Ruyu took out a string of beads from the space. This was given to her by the abbot. It was made of ebony, polished to be round and smooth, and had a natural fragrance.

"The abbot said that this fragrance can calm people's minds and make them concentrate. It's just right for you to wear it."

After she said that, she wanted to put the beads around the Tibetan fox's neck. The Tibetan fox seemed to resist a little, so she grabbed the fox's pointed mouth and put the beads in.

Tibetan Fox: “…” I don’t need to be calm, nor do I want to concentrate.

Just want to go crazy.

I patted the Tibetan fox's head, ignored its contemptuous eyes, put on my cloak and went out.

The boss and Linlang were in the yard, and Yan Ruyu gave them the weapons sent by the secret guards.

They don't like gold ornaments and are very fond of weapons.

This time, the secret guard made a pair of silver wire bracelets for Linlang, and a set of flying knives for the boss.

Yan Ruyu demonstrated to them: "The surface is a bracelet of fine silver wire. When not in use, it can be rolled up as a decoration so as not to attract the enemy's attention. When needed, it can be stretched out and it will become a thin, tough and extremely sharp silver wire."

Linlang jumped up with joy, she liked this kind of weird jewelry the most, the value was not important, the most important thing was that it was novel and interesting, and this was exactly what she wanted.

"Thank you, Master!"

Yan Ruyu handed the flying knife to the eldest boss: "The knife bag is made into a belt style. It is usually wrapped outside. It can protect the waist and can also be used to pull out the flying knife in an emergency."

She picked up the largest one, pressed the handle of the dagger, and pulled it gently, and there was actually a smaller one inside.

The eldest master was surprised and delighted: "It's amazing that it can be done so delicately. Thank you, Princess!"

Seeing that the two of them were happy, Yan Ruyu became happy too. It doesn’t matter how big or small the gift is, as long as the recipient is happy, then the gift is right.

When he left the house, Yinding had already prepared the carriage. When he went out, he found that the young men were all there, standing respectfully with their heads bowed, and each of them looked delighted.

Needless to say, it was the golden longevity lock that worked.

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "Alright, go do what you need to do. There's no need to say anything extra. Just do your job well."

"Yes!" several people said in unison.

Yan Ruyu got on the carriage, lowered the curtain, and then chuckled silently.

A few people cheered and dispersed, each going about their business. Yinding drove the carriage, taking Yan Ruyu to the spice shop.

After the Chinese New Year, Huo Zhongmao opened the spice shop in a new location. Before that, they were not stable, so they could only cooperate with the Qian family's shop along the way. Now that everything is stable, they want cooperation as well as their own business.

The shop is not big, but it has a good location and is well decorated. The Qian family also helped a lot, so there are no new shops that are unpopular with customers. It was a slow-paced stage, and business was good from the beginning.

The clerk was also a family member. When he saw Yan Ruyu coming, he hurried to greet her, took her around and introduced her to various aspects of the shop.

Yan Ruyu listened carefully. Huo Zhongmao was indeed an expert and managed the shop in perfect order.

Go up to the second floor and into the small compartment, Huo Zhongmao usually keeps accounts and looks at incense recipes here.

The space is not big, so there is only a table, chairs, bookshelf and a small recliner.

The waiter said, "The shopkeeper is usually very busy. Sometimes he spends the night here, or if he stays up too late, he takes a nap here at noon."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "Why not put a bed?"

"The shopkeeper said that putting the bed down doesn't make you look like you're working, and it makes you lazy."

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything more and the waiter left.

She sat down at the table and looked through the account book.

Remember it clearly, every stroke is clear and correct.

In fact, there is nothing to see. Huo Zhongmao's accounts have always been impeccable and there have never been any mistakes.

Yan Ruyu flipped through a few pages, then stood up and walked to the window, which gave a view of the back street. She opened the window and glanced down. There were quite a few people on this street, coming and going, shouting about buying and selling. The sound came pouring in as soon as she opened the window.

There was a vendor selling candied haws below. They were bright red and coated with crystal sugar, and looked very tempting.

She thought about going to see Huo Changheng, Huo Qinxiang and Rui Ge'er later. The three little ones would definitely like it.

Just when I was about to call out to someone to buy a few skewers, my heart suddenly started beating faster and I felt an indescribable discomfort.

She held onto the windowsill with one hand, trying to calm herself down. She looked out again and saw a white shadow disappearing at the corner of the street.

White shadow? That man again?
