"I have to ask those souls who died unjustly, and their families." Man Bao also glanced at the window and said, "I think this should not be the result, but the cause. It is the Queen Mother who helped these poor people." Because, no one knows what kind of fruit will be obtained in the future.”
Bai Shan said: "But she doesn't think so in her heart."
Man Bao shook his head and said: "She doesn't live long, why bother to argue with her about it? If you're so angry, it's yours or mine?"
And no matter who it is, they will have no good results, so it is better to avoid talking about it.
Man Bao didn't accept it, just because he didn't know the Queen Mother's intention of atonement, only because she was doing good things for herself, and could lead her to do more good things.
"I don't know if the Empress Dowager will consider supporting the Lord Tianzun in the exam," Man Bao said, "It's really strange. Why do the Queen Mother, the emperor and the empress all believe in Buddha and not worship the Lord Tianzun?"
Bai Shandao: "Everyone is different, some people don't worship both, and only kneel to the Father of Heaven and Earth, so there is no need to force it. But others are fine, the emperor should not have a preference."
Man Bao regretted, "It's a pity that Mr. Wei didn't express his opinion on this point."
As soon as these words came out, even Bai Erlang raised his head, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed aloud. Speaking of which, this year's Chinese New Year is so peaceful, they haven't heard Mr. Wei swearing.
The Lantern Festival was closed, and the three of Bai Shan went to the palace again. Others should go to school and work, and the old Zhou Tou and Zhou Dalang went to Zhuangzi again.
This time Xiaoqian stayed in the capital. After eating the food she cooked, Liu Liulang felt that their restaurant could go further, so he dragged her to the restaurant to help.
Zhou Lijun, on the other hand, made a lot of calculations. She is doing very well in the business of grease cream, and she has sold all of them to Yongzhou. The monthly demand is steadily increasing, not a lot, just a few jars. Long, but this is just within their acceptable range.
After all, it is not good to keep this thing for too long after it is made. It must be used after it is made, and it is best to use it up within a year.
Now Fang's and Lu's have specially packed up a pharmacy in the West First Hospital, where they store their equipment and medicinal materials for making ointment.
The shelves alone filled three walls.
During the Chinese New Year, Man Bao looked at Zhou Lijun's account book, and found that the income from this item alone was more than that from the restaurant.
So she also began to search in the encyclopedia, hoping to find some ancient prescriptions. Well, for Keke and the others, it was an ancient prescription, but for her, it might be a recipe from the rear.
The found recipes need to be researched, and after they are made, they have to be used first, and then they are confirmed to be ok before selling them out.
When Changyu heard her talking about it, he said: "We were supposed to do this together, but I didn't expect you to be beautiful in the end."
Mingda explained to Man Bao from the side, "Sister, she envies you. I heard that you can sell a can of medicine for one or two taels, so you can earn a lot of income a year, right?"
Man Bao said: "My second niece is in charge of money matters."
She remembered what Lijun said, that when the grease was sold in Yongzhou City, it was not sold at all at first, and Zhou Zhoulang took the lead several times because of this.
It was the third wife of the Li family who came forward to make peace and saved a lot of trouble, but their business in Yongzhou was still restricted a lot.
In the final analysis, it is because they rob other people's way, because of the grease cream, many people have reduced or cut off such things as rouge and grease.
But who in this world thinks money is too little
Man Bao and Chang Yu said: "Do you want to do this business?"
Chang Yu sat up straight and looked at her with piercing eyes, "Is it okay?"
Man Bao nodded and said: "I have no objection, but my niece is in charge of the business, you have to talk to her."
Man Bao smiled, and said bluntly: "But I think she will agree, you are a princess, with your name, we can save us a lot of trouble."
Mingda frowned slightly, she just teased Chang Yu's mind as a joke, she wanted Man Bao to comfort Chang Yu, so that she wouldn't let her think too much.
But she didn't expect that they directly reached a cooperation. After thinking for a moment, she still couldn't hold back and said to Changyu: "Sister, we are the royal family, and it is not good to compete with the people for profit."
Changyu didn't think so, "How could I compete with the people for profit? I neither bullied others nor bought and sold by force. The buying and selling of goods is based on one's own ability."
Mingda shook his head, and simply said: "Sister, you are still in the palace, you can't interfere with the business outside the palace."
"We'll talk about it after I get married," she turned her head and said to Man Bao, "You ask your niece to wait for me."
Mingda: ...
Man Bao nodded, and asked excitedly: "You and Wei Yu's marriage is settled?"
Chang Yu said: "Father summoned him during Chinese New Year, and on the day of Lantern Festival, Lord Wei also brought him to the palace. I heard that he will take the entrance examination for the Imperial College in February. I listen to Father. If he If you can pass the exam, this marriage will be settled immediately."
Man Bao asked curiously: "Then what if you fail the exam?"
"If you fail the exam, you can delay it for two or three months before deciding."
Man Bao: ... Is there any difference
Ming Da couldn't help laughing and said: "Father and Queen Mother both like Mr. Wei, and think he is very gentlemanly."
She thought of something, turned her head and said to Chang Yu: "Sister, if you marry into the Wei family, you might not be able to behave like a merchant, Master Wei is strict on these things."
Man Bao asked Ming Da: "What about you, do you want to do business?"
Mingda shook his head, "I'll forget it, I don't lack food and clothing, and I don't have a lot of money to spend, why bother to compete with the people for these benefits?"
She said: "My third sister is very strict, and she is lenient to the common people, but that's it, because she participated in the timber business, her stewards did some things like buying and selling by force, because of this, She knelt outside the queen mother's hall for a long time, and cried for a long time."
Man Bao asked: "Has she changed?"
"I heard that the manager who lost the money was also dealt with, but the real job of the third brother-in-law was eliminated, and even the third sister was ordered by the queen mother." She looked at Changyu and said, "That's why I said that the gain is not worth the loss. .”
Chang Yu said: "We are already princesses, why are we still tied up like this? I'm not going to harm anyone, I'm just making some money for makeup?"
"Your words are false as soon as you hear them. Don't tell me you are still short of fat and money?" Mingda said, "If you want me to say, your life is too extravagant. What stuffed eggplant did you want to eat last time? In order to give it to the imperial kitchen Your garnishes almost missed the ones served by the queen mother."
Chang Yu stopped talking.
Mingda sighed faintly.
Chang Yu pointed at Zhou Man and said, "Ask her, who would think that money is too much?"
Man Bao was thinking about Mingda's words, when he heard the words "Huh?", he raised his head and said, "Yes, no one would think too much money, but I remembered a sentence that Brother Yang said just now, a gentleman loves money." Money is obtained in a proper way, and what Mingda said is actually true, you have power and influence, and it is wrong to compete with the people for profit."
Changyu didn't expect her to turn against him, so he stood up angrily and asked, "Then you say that royal relatives like us can't do business anymore?"
