starling is not a bird

Concubine Hui in Zhongcui Palace held a hand stove and watched the servants make incense with great interest. Since Yinhu invited the two Hangzhou doctors in to see the doctor for Concubine Wen Xi, the ladies in the palace are willing to send someone from time to time. Wen Xi's concubine went to visit her, only Concubine Hui got their secret prescription, she was really proud.

The sun was good yesterday, and the servants had already ground the chicken bone charcoal with sunflower leaves into powder, blended it with glutinous rice porridge soup, beat it into cakes with big and small hammers, and dried it in the sun for a long time.Choose eight taels of real wax aloes, two taels of sandalwood, half taels of tooth nitrate, carapace, amount of incense, and cloves, one tael of musk, four liang of white brain, and pound fine powder. Fragrance, except for borneol, pounded into charcoal skin powder, one qian each of Pu Nitrate, mixed with raw honey, put into heavy soup in a porcelain box and boiled for a few dozen times, take it out and smell it for seven days, put it into brain, musk deer, make pills, any size, with Gold leaf is the clothing.

The finished incense balls were all wrapped in tribute silk, and put in the incense box of the red lacquer sugar cane section tin blank, and some of them were kept in the Wanchun Ding Kiln incense box, intending to be used by Yinhuxiu in his arms.

Concubine Hui knew in her heart that the son she gave birth to was too rough, how could she use such fragrance?On the contrary, Yinhu was gentle and knew that he was making incense today, so he hurriedly found a Nandu white copper short-necked fine-hole bottle newly made in Wujun and sent it to him. The concubine Hui would never forget him.

The servants have already mixed paper ash and lime into a ball, put it in a large stove and burned it red, then took out the ashes that were ground to a very fine level, and spread them on the bottom of the Xuantong stove.

After the charcoal goblet is fully burned, put it into the furnace, remove the ashes, and only bury half of the charcoal goblet. After the incense balls are burned to ashes, use chopsticks to bury the charcoal goblet, surround it on all sides, and cover it with ash. , gray thick five points.

Long ago, a court lady used the ground casserole to separate the fire, added sand to the ashes, and put incense on the ashes. The concubine Hui personally used fire chopsticks to insert dozens of small holes in the ashes to ventilate the fire. The fragrance of the new fragrance is far away and lasts for a long time.

Concubine Hui kept squatting and pulling the ashes. She didn't throw away the fire chopsticks until the incense was burnt, and asked her servant to put the remaining charcoal in a tile box to fumigate clothes and quilts.Looking at the colorful rows of clothes in the courtyard of the side hall, Concubine Hui reached out and brushed them one by one, as if brushing away her youthful years.

Recently, the family came to the palace to pay their respects, and they were quite suspicious. She knew that her son was planning something. Since the new year, she had seen a few elder brothers gather together and chirp.

Concubine Hui didn't want to ask more questions, it wasn't because of the ancestral rule that the harem should not be involved in politics, she just trusted them, whether it was her own son or her adopted son, even if Yinti was reckless and irritable, as long as Yinti was guarding her, she would never leave With big pleats.

Therefore, all the things that Nala's grand scholar's wife worried about will not happen. She knows that her son is careful enough.Concubine Hui's new hobby is to go to Ningshou Palace to greet Empress Dowager Renxian. Since the day of the Spring Festival, the emperor has not turned over the sign in the harem. The most frequent place is the residence of Empress Xiaochengren. Kunning Palace.

Concubine Hui was a concubine who had served in the palace since before the emperor's wedding. Of course, she could find out that something was wrong with the emperor recently, and miss his first wife?

Of course, but that is definitely not the only reason, and the sudden dismissal of Minister of Rites in the study room has already caused a lot of speculation. Concubine Hui does not know what the answer is. Although the news in the inner palace is well-informed, government affairs will never come in. But on the day of the spring festival, the prince knelt outside the hall, which explained a lot of problems.

Just to mention a little bit, the imperial concubine is ill, and it has been hard to prepare for the big festival. The empress dowager over there smiled kindly and appointed Concubine Tong to assist in the harem.

I was secretly annoyed, no matter what the emperor thought, the queen mother was after all towards her grandson.Fearing that the concubine with a son would treat the prince slowly in managing the harem, Tete chose his aunt to be in charge of Fengyin. She is still a barren aunt, so the empress dowager is very lucky!

Concubine Wen Xi's empress Niu Colu is not reconciled, she is about to be unable to get up, she just cares about her son, the emperor came to visit her in the palace recently, she only said to rest in peace of mind and did not mention anything else, she also knew , there is absolutely no reason for one school to have two queens.

It's just a pain for my own child. I never got pregnant after giving birth to him, and I didn't even have the chance to prepare an arm for him. That child was born innocent and didn't like those petty thoughts. Qu Feng said, he is more filial to his own father than he is to his own father, sooner or later he will suffer!

Concubine Wen Xi doesn't have the heart to worry about this. The crown prince is not lenient enough. I didn't realize it. Xiao Lai only thinks that he is arrogant. Now that I think about it, he is so cruel. In the future, I will not tolerate my brothers, and I am not right. He rarely did evil things, and now he doesn't care about regretting it, and always finds a way to make a way for his son to survive!

Yin De, the head of the guards, received the message from his younger sister's confidant, and was very surprised in his heart. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of several generations had appreciated his family's Niuhulu family, and his grandfather had also been in his teens since he was a teenager. He followed the emperor Taizu to fight in the north and south, made great achievements in battle, and finally became one of the five founding ministers.

Uncles Turge, Cherge and Irden are all capable warriors who made great achievements in the battle of entering the customs.Although his father had no military merits, he succeeded his uncle, the second-class Duke Turg, and was appointed as the auxiliary minister.In the sixth year of Kangxi, Shengzu was in charge of the government, assisted ministers with grace, and was specially appointed as the first-class prince. Both his sisters entered the palace and had their status.

If he hadn't been implicated by Oboi, coupled with the impact of Prince Kang's Jieshu, how could his father have cut down the grand master and seized the title? The third sister has always bowed her head in the palace, and her family has also declined. Later, the third sister was sealed off. Queen, the family is not unhappy, my father also entrusted my sister's blessing to get the emperor's funeral, posthumous title Kexi, imperial inscription, and stone tomb.

Unexpectedly, in the 17th year of Kangxi, Empress Xiaozhao collapsed. Although the emperor issued a decree to promote the family, set up a family temple and gave the imperial book list, but my sister has no son, who knows what will happen in the future?

Now that my younger sister is dying, as an older brother, I can do my best. Even if I can't lift my nephew to the throne, I can't make people look down on him!

The Chinese New Year is not over yet, and the Minister of Military Aircraft, Nanshufang Hanlin and other officials are still enjoying a rare year of leisure at home, but the spring posts to be written before the beginning of spring should be done early, and the guards of the Maoqin Palace have come to remind them a lot Once, there are only a few spring posts on the case, what can the inner eunuch present to the emperor to celebrate auspiciousness?Yin De took his own name card and went to his relatives one by one to ask for advice. No one wanted to go against the emperor's will and violate his taboo, right?

Since Xiaojiu got the idea that day, in the past few days, she saw Tian'er pestering her elder brother to discuss how to ask for money. Yinhu was really flustered by him, so she quietly reported to her elder brother, saying that she wanted to go out of the palace, elder brother He also knew that the younger brothers hadn't fought for three days, and when they went to the house to expose the tiles, they were active, and they sent a dozen or so skilled guards to tell them to be careful and safe, and then let them go out.

Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi both changed their clothes, saying that they wanted to put on a picture of a rich man, and forced the guards to go outside and buy clothes to come in. They picked out a bright red padded jacket, satin boots, and wore thumb-sized thumb spanners on their hands. With a string of pearls as big as the top of his fingers, he went out arrogantly.

Yinhu looked at the red dolls and didn't bother to tell them that he didn't look like a grandpa, he looked like a fool, but he just watched the guards hold back their smiles and let it go, and he changed into an ordinary gown and sighed followed!

As soon as I arrived at Zhengyangmen, I saw a sea of ​​people. It was the time when the common people were happy. At the beginning of the new year, before the Lantern Festival came, everyone was celebrating the new year happily.

Before reaching Xiaojiu's shop, I saw a dispute at Dashilan. Several rogues were making trouble at the door of the drugstore. One rogue was lying on the ground crying out in pain, and some others were shouting at the door: "Kill, kill!" Lah!" The guards around him winked at each other and were about to take the elder brothers away, Yinhu didn't like to watch the excitement in his life, so he was happy to follow along, holding his younger brothers by the hand.

Just when they had walked dozens of steps, Yinhu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What sign is this pharmacy hanging?" It’s an old Lejia store! It’s just a small store, nothing special.”

Yinhu nodded, something flashed in his mind, and he was shocked: "Master, I want to go back and have a look." Then he turned and walked back, and the guards behind hurriedly followed.

The guards opened the way for him in front, and when Yinhu squeezed to the door of the medicine shop, he saw a middle-aged man who thought it was the shopkeeper desperately trying to smooth things over. Well, people are dying instead, insisting that the pharmacy must pay them 1000 taels of silver before they are willing to write a settlement letter, otherwise they will fight the life lawsuit all the way to the sky!

Yinhu looked at the person lying on the ground, and made it clear that he was just pretending. If he was really about to die, would he still have the strength to cry out in pain?Just a joke, the younger brothers also squeezed in from behind, Xiao Shi is straightforward, looked at the people on the ground, and shouted at the leader: "What kind of lawsuit is a dead man, you are extorting money, your brother is afraid that he will live 1 years to the South Pole It's okay for the immortal to be a king and eight camel steles, so why cry?"

The leader was a famous popi in the capital. His parents left early, and his family grew up in the west. He didn't remember his name. He nicknamed himself "Hutou Da", and brought a few brothers with him on weekdays. In the area of ​​Zhengyangmen, I specialize in playing "Pengci". A few days ago, I blackmailed a few customers from Shanxi. It was the time when I was proud, but I was eating too much oil and water.

The accumulated food is gone, but you feel uncomfortable?Why spend money on medicine!There is today's scene.Look at the shopkeeper, he can't wait to beg for mercy, businessmen are afraid of getting into trouble, today is a lot of money!The crowd came and came to meddle.Hutouda looked at these little people, and didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he pushed Xiaoshi: "Baby, the Zhang family's hair fruit is in front, you can still do it if you run faster!" Yinhu next to him was furious , with a wave of his hand, several guards rushed up to hold those people down, who knew that the rogue was desperate.

He even yelled: "He's been killed, he's been killed, Qingtian defeats Ri's murderer!" The guard pressed his mouth in every possible way, but Yinhu sneered: "You're not dead yet, what are you shouting for?" The tiger head raised its head and stared at him: "Young master, I'm not dead. My brother was killed by a quack doctor, isn't he dying? You don't care about that quack doctor, but you care about us little people, it's unfair!" Crying for father and mother became noisy.The one lying on the ground became more and more obedient, crying out in pain.

The people around were getting more and more crowded. Yinhu had never seen such a reversal of black and white before. He took out the incense stick from the concubine Hui from his sleeve, opened it carefully, and picked out a piece of chicken bone charcoal with the golden three things that he carried with him. The neck of the man on the ground fell down, and the man couldn't bear the pain, so he jumped up and cursed.

Yinhu smiled and said: "Aren't you sick and dying? I think you are very energetic!" Hutou looked at the failure, gritted his teeth and spat, stared at Yinhu but remained silent.

The manager of the Lejia shop slowly came up and said: "Since I don't care about the medicine in the small shop, the small one can feel at ease!" Then he handed out a bank note: "It's a small amount of silver taels, I'll scare you guys!"

Xiao Jiu looked impatiently: "Obviously they are extorting money, what do you do with them? Is there too much money to spend? Why don't you spend it!"

But Yinhu knew that those rascals suffered a loss today and would come to revenge in the future, and the shopkeeper was just spending money to eliminate the disaster and seek safety, but Yinhu sold favors to them with peace of mind, so naturally he refused to be kind.

Yinhu gently pulled a guard over, and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard took the order. Yinhu held his younger brother in his arms and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The story about raising tigers as a plague must have been heard by those in charge." However, why do you need to appease them like this today?"

The shopkeeper bowed to Yinhu: "Thanks to this young master for clearing up the reputation of our shop, please sit in the shop and wait for us to serve a cup of tea before leaving."

Yinhu didn't make a sound, and dragged his younger brother in, but he refused to let the guards release him, and just let them all be tied there.The cabinets in the Lejia pharmacy are neatly organized, and all the employees are capable.

The few of them were invited to the back hall to have tea, and there was another scene. There were ornaments from all over the world in the boxwood lattice, vines hung from the shelves to cover the red dust in the window, and a imitation autumn mountain picture on the wall had a far-reaching artistic conception. It also has a faint ink fragrance.Goldfish swim leisurely in the earthen basin, crickets sing in the gourd, it is like a mountain villa in a busy city.

After a while, the shopkeeper respectfully held a few cups of tea on the tray, and Yinhu looked down to see that it was not an ordinary tea, but Hangbaiju mixed with a few wolfberries.The shopkeeper stood bowed after serving the tea.

The owner of the shop, Le Fengming, had already heard the news and rushed over. Seeing the seats of several people, he knew that they were all distinguished guests. He hurriedly said hello in a friendly manner. Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were worried about the rascals outside, so they didn't have time to greet him , only Yinhu had a casual conversation with him.

Before the tea was finished, the guard came over with a few rouge stone alleys. Everyone was taken aback, and the guard replied: "Ba Ye, as you said, don't be handsome, I found a few four The fifth-class prostitutes are here."

Yinhu didn't explain, nodded, got up and invited everyone to go out with him, the shop was already full of people, and the more those hooligans got more and more cheered up, all of them were full of energy, and they had no fear of beating or killing, so just Waiting to see how those young masters are deflated.

When the rogues saw the man coming out, they uttered more and more obscenities, and the leader Hutouda yelled even louder, Yinhu didn't care at all, and waved his hand: "Pull it down for me, let him drill into sister's crotch! "

The people around outside are all happy, and the big tiger is also stupid. He is a majestic street bully, and today he is going to get into the crotch of a prostitute.The guards endured the joy, no matter how much he roared and jumped, they pressed his head and slipped through a prostitute's crotch.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the guards dragged him out, and the tiger head yelled loudly, Yinhu smiled and pointed to the second prostitute, "Come on, drill again!" The crotch of the big drill kiln sister with a tiger head".They found themselves caught in a dilemma: if they obediently admit defeat, they will lose their prestige from now on, how can they stand up?If you don't obediently admit defeat, you'll have to drill into the whore's crotch.

When everyone couldn't stop laughing, and those sloppy eyes showed remorse, Yinhu gently walked over and asked: "I let you go today, will you still come to make trouble in the future?"

Hutou looked at the brother who had been tossed enough, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless person, and the big man would break up immediately: "I beg you to spare the little one. In the future, the little one must know people with eyes and never do it again!" Yinhu knew Although these rascals still made promises, they stood up and let the guards let them go, then turned to look at my brother and said, "Let's go, the excitement is over, let's get down to business!"

On the way, Xiao Jiu couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's so great about that shop, do you want to help him?" Yinhu tilted his younger brother's head: "He has real skills, so don't look at people through the cracks of the door. It's flat!"

Xiao Jiu pouted and was very unconvinced, but what's so strange about it being a small shop?Yinhu knew what his younger brother was thinking, so he didn't say much, and sighed in his heart, who would have thought that such a small shop would be the famous Tongrentang in the future?I saw that pair in the back hall just now: "Cultivation is not seen, but God knows it!" They did indeed do this, and only then did they have the later gold-lettered signboard.

Although Tongrentang's pills are indeed very effective, but their Lejia business skills are first-rate!When the ditch was dug in February in the capital, the whole city was smelly and the sludge was piled up, which made it very inconvenient for pedestrians, especially at night, if they were not careful, they would fall into the sludge pile and get covered in stinky mud.I remember that from the 41st year of Kangxi, they sent people to the place where the ditches were dug, and hung lamps to guide pedestrians. Every time after dark, it was dark everywhere, only a few white gauze lamps with the words "Tongrentang" written on them, Not only is it convenient for pedestrians at night, but it also established the reputation of Tongrentang in the capital.

During the examination period, they donated Pingan yam, which dispels water and soil, to those who took the test, and those who took the test inevitably spread the reputation of Tongrentang to all parts of the country.In the future, if these candidates become high-ranking officials after passing the exam, they will naturally take care of Tongrentang's business, or provide convenience for Tongrentang, or introduce customers to Tongrentang.

Every winter, Tongrentang opens a porridge factory to make a living for the poor who are suffering from hunger and cold, and donates cotton clothes to the poor who are not fully clothed.Every summer, some medicines to treat and prevent heatstroke are distributed to the poor.If poor people die of illness and have no money to bury them, they are even willing to donate coffins. How can such shops not prosper?

Yinhu suddenly said: "Xiao Jiu, do you still remember the steps of that shop?"

Xiao Jiu raised her head: "Remember, it's so strange, other people's steps are upwards, but his house is downwards!"

Yinhu patted his younger brother's head, and asked slowly: "Yes, why?"
