[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

Chapter 9

After that day, Ling Rong was still busy making the incense in the pear tent as usual, nothing unusual, but told Ling Yong not to tell anyone what happened that day, and not to get close to Aunt Bai and that Bai Jinrong again, lest Ling Yong Yong accidentally incurs a fatal disaster.Fortunately, the end of the new year is approaching, the school is on holiday, and An Lingzhi is back, so Ling Rong gives Ling Yong, that little troublemaker, to teach Ling Zhi.

The materials are complete, and Ling Rong quickly mixed the fragrance in the calyx pear tent, but it has not been put in the store for sale. Such treasures are of no value if they cannot meet someone who understands fragrance, and what she wants is absolutely worthless. Not a one-time fortune.Afterwards, Lingrong prepared many styrax ointments, which were made by mixing storax with agar, plum fragrance and several other common spices.Styrax has the effects of clearing the orifice, warding off filth, resolving stagnation, and removing phlegm; it can also treat scabies and chilblains, and is very suitable for skin care cream in winter. Moreover, Styrax is relatively common and low in cost, and is suitable for most ordinary people to use.Ling Rong made eighty boxes in one go, and sold them in the store in the name of Fang's. The response was very good, so Ling Rong gave Fang the prepared prescriptions, and Fang's authors prepared a large number of them. It is to improve the dismal business, but it is far from enough.

Cheng Ji (that is, the newly opened spice shop opposite the Anjia shop) is rich and powerful, and there are always new products. It is said that the person behind the scenes is a third-rank official of the imperial court. The shopkeeper of the store went online, but most of the business in the shop was robbed. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, and the family's expenses were getting higher and higher, Ling Rong could only do everything possible to earn more money.Fang's, An's mother, and even Webster, who is more than five months pregnant, all showed their abilities to earn some money, but Bai's family didn't care about childbirth. .

Even if it is difficult, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and every household is bustling, and Anfu will start to prepare for the New Year.Ling Rong had to put aside what he was doing so that he could help with shopping for the New Year.An's mother is too old to work hard, Fang's and Wei's are both pregnant, Bai wants to help, but An Ning's health is not up to snuff and accidentally catches a cold, Bai can only stay in the hospital to take care of An Ning.This new year's goods can only be bought by An Bihuai and Ling Zhi, and Ling Rong is just a helper, after all, he is still young.

Ling Zhi has indeed improved a lot in the past few years, he is calm in dealing with things, polite to others, and relaxed under the imperial court; in contrast, An Bihuai is still the same, cowardly and uninitiated, has no achievements in public affairs, has no courage in private, and has only made friends They are friends with wine and meat, and you can't count on any of them at critical times!Fortunately, doing New Year's goods is a trivial matter. An's mother and Fang's made a list, and An Bihuai and Ling Zhi bought them accordingly.

Soon it was New Year's Eve, the whole family had a lively reunion dinner, and then went back to their rooms to watch the new year. Naturally, An Bihuai wanted to stay in Fang's room to watch the new year. Webster's belly was getting bigger, and Fang So he took Webster over to watch the year together.Ling Rong and Ling Yong were still young, and soon fell asleep, only An Bihuai was left with the two pregnant wives and concubines to watch the new year. The three of them talked and played chess, which was quite pleasant.

As the saying goes, it will not be finished in 15 years.After New Year's Eve, visiting relatives and friends is busier than before.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, An Bihuai accompanied Mrs. Fang to pay New Year's greetings to her father-in-law. Because the road was snowy and slippery, Ling Yong was very dissatisfied. I don't remember any unpleasantness after the snowball fight.Ling Rong was also quite helpless about this, he taught him a lot, and he saw a lot of those nasty things, but he didn't know if the kid was too young or too stupid, and he was still heartless, so Ling Rong no longer Forced it.

Tomorrow Lexus will go to Master Ma's house to pay New Year's greetings. Fang's family and An's mother are bothering about tomorrow's gift, and Lexus is also actively preparing.In the end, I decided to make a second painting by myself to show my respect. Of course, this is the most important gift. An's mother also prepared some supplements for Lexus to bring; Put it on and let Lexus give it to Mrs. Ma.Ling Zhi did it one by one, and Master Ma was very happy. He always valued Ling Zhi as a disciple, and Mrs. Ma's reaction was very flat.For this, Ling Rong was a little disappointed, but not discouraged. She still had a lot of things to do, and she didn't have time to think about them. If this road doesn't work, just change another road.

Just after the busy New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival is ushered in again, Ling Yong has been arguing to go to see the lanterns, but Fang couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree.Originally, women should not show their faces casually, but now that Ling Rong and An Ning are just children, it doesn't hurt much.So An Bihuai took Mrs. Bai and a few children to watch the lanterns together.Along the way, Ling Yong took the lead and ran in front, Ling Zhi walked leisurely with Ling Rong, Bai Shi with An Ning leaned against An Bihuai with a soft face, enjoyed the lanterns and guessed lantern riddles together, and looked at the Ling Rong for a while nausea.

"Sister, don't worry about those dirty things, so as not to stain your eyes." Ling Zhi squeezed Ling Rong's hand and said with a light smile.

"Well, my sister knows." Ling Rong ignored the deep affection there and concentrated on admiring the lantern.

"'Black skin, white flesh, black belly, never steals, insists that he is a thief', ha ha... These puzzles are really vivid..." A silver bell-like laughter attracted Ling Zhi's attention, Looking up, beside an exquisite butterfly lantern, a charming little man in a red dress, only eleven or twelve years old, is happily smiling.

"Ge Ge, it's not safe to be crowded here, let's go to the attic to enjoy it." The little maid on the side persuaded the girl not to be crowded.

"Appreciating in the attic every year is not interesting at all, so I don't want it!" The little man pouted and said unwillingly, "Okay, good Xiner, just for a while, I'll go back in a while." Said After that, he happily ran forward again, and the little girl hurriedly followed.

"Hey! This lantern is so special, it's a fat pig! I didn't expect the pig lantern to be so cute!" The girl in red held the happy pig lantern and couldn't put it down. "Boss, how do you sell this lantern?" The girl asked the old man on the side.

"This lantern is made by a little girl, as long as you can guess the lantern riddles on it, you can take it, no money." The old man said with a smile.

"Really! That's great! Let me see what kind of lantern riddle it is. 'The fragrance of the sunset washes away the heart; the embers of the furnace are cold, adding to the spirit'?" After reading the riddle, the girl fell into deep thought.

"Ah! I see, it's an anagram. 'The fragrance of the setting sun is lingering, wash your heart a little bit' is a word for 'bald', and 'The embers of the furnace are cold, adding meaning to the horse-heart ape' is a word for 'donkey', which together means 'bald' Donkey, right!" the girl asked happily.

"Miss is really smart, this lantern is for you." The old man smiled and handed the lucky pig lantern to the girl.

"But, isn't the boss's daughter too disrespectful to the master?" The girl fiddled with the lantern and said calmly.

"The girl doesn't know something. The little girl came to be weak. A senior monk came a few years ago and said that there is a panacea that can cure the little girl's illness. The little old man spent all his wealth, but in exchange for the little girl's condition getting worse. How can the little girl not complain !” The old man shook his head vicissitudes.

"It's so unreasonable!" The girl was very angry when she heard the words, and wanted to say something more, but she was stopped by the maid beside her. It turned out that the girl's family had found her, so the girl had no choice but to leave. the old man.

"Brother, brother, what are you looking at so engrossed, you didn't respond after calling you a few times." Ling Rong tugged at Ling Zhi's sleeve and asked in confusion, followed An Lingzhi's line of sight, but didn't see anything something special.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Rong'er, my brother was distracted. Rong'er is interested in which lantern, and my brother will buy it for you." Ling Zhi touched Ling Rong's head and said softly.

"No need, Rong'er doesn't want a lantern, let's buy one for Ling Yong, the little guy has been looking at that tiger lantern for a long time." Ling Rong looked at Ling Yong who was not far away with a smile and said.

"Okay, it's according to Rong'er." Ling Zhi took Ling Rong to find Ling Yong, and when he looked back, the man had long since disappeared, but Ling Zhi couldn't forget it for a long time.Until many years later, the two had already known each other so well that Ling Zhi still remembered the throbbing at the beginning, and this is all a later story.

As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Ling Zhi went back to school, Ling Rong was busy making spices, An's mother was sick again, Fang's family had to take care of the business in the shop besides taking care of the sick An's mother, Webster's belly was also growing I can't help much, I just stay in the courtyard to raise babies and make flowers.

After the first lunar month, Anfu finally got in touch with the shopkeeper who supplied the spices. After a lot of talking, he finally got this supply line, but the price was two cents higher than Cheng Ji's purchase price, and even more so. What's annoying is that one of the rare spices, Bacai Pearl Orchid, has been bought out by Cheng Ji!Bacai Zhulan is a rare spice that emits faint fluorescence at night. It has a unique fragrance and bright colors.Although the An family started with spices, they also dabbled in dyes. There is also a small cloth dyeing workshop at home. Although small, it is enough for the family to tailor and embroider. The satin can’t be dyed at all. If you buy satin from other places and embroider and sell it, the profit will be much lower.

Ling Rong also knew about this, but as a child, what could she do, she could only hurry up and prepare some special rouge powder and spices and sell them in the shop, which temporarily stabilized the business in the shop, but after all These ordinary goods are not a long-term solution, and Ling Rong can't do anything about it.

Life was difficult and had to go on, and three months later, just as early summer arrived, Webster's fetus started and gave birth to a daughter.Wei Shi gave birth for the first time, and the fetal position was a little bit wrong. It took nearly six hours to give birth to the baby. The mother and daughter were finally safe, but they couldn't conceive again.An's mother named her An Lingyan, and her baby name was Ping An.

On the eighth day of June, when Lingyan was full moon, Ling Zhi specially asked for leave to rush back to congratulate, brought gifts for all his younger siblings, and also brought unexpected good news to Ling Rong.But it turned out that the calyx pear tent Zhongxiang prepared by Lingrong before was favored by Tong Jia, a scholar of the Yingwu Temple, Ma Qi. Mrs. Feng loved incense, and Mrs. Feng Jia donated the incense in the Na'e pear tent to Mrs. Tong Jia, who was very happy.No, when the incense ran out, he went to Feng Jiashi cheekily again, and if he couldn't find it, he found An Lingzhi.Ling Zhi told Ling Rong about the matter by going home to congratulate him, and asked Ling Rong to quickly make another box of calyx and pear tent incense. Ling Rong promised to make it during Ling Zhi's next rest.

Ling Rong knew that this was an unattainable opportunity, so he put up all his energy and handed over the fragrance in the calyx tent to Ling Zhi, and just waited for the good news.Sure enough, a month later, the store's business began to improve, and even the Bacai Zhulan, which was out of stock before, was available, and Lingrong was very happy.

After the hot summer, Fang gave birth to a son and a daughter. An's mother was very happy, and even the illness that had tormented her for half a year was gone. She said that the two children were blessed, named An Lingjie, An Lingshu.Not long after this, Bai Shi, who had been silent for many years, also broke out that she was three months pregnant, and An's mother sent her sister Xi to take care of Bai Shi's fetus.Ling Rong just smiled indifferently at this, she is not afraid that she will give birth to a son, on the contrary, she hopes that Bai's birth will be a son, so that their accounts can be settled properly, right?
