Although spending the new year in Beijing was novel and exciting, Yu Hai was still thinking about the greenhouse vegetables in Tanggu Zhuangzi, and Liu Shi was worried about the family. As soon as the first lunar month came out, he began to pack his luggage and prepare to go back to Tanggu.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Shitou was packed and taken to the south of the Yangtze River by Dean Yuan. The Yuelu Academy in the south of the Yangtze River invited Yuan Daru to give lectures, so he naturally wanted to take his closed disciples to travel and see. Yu Xiaocao took pity on them for their hard journey, and made a lot of biscuits and shortbread for storage. Dean Yuan even brought a few roasted chickens and roasted ducks on the road, saying that he would keep them on the road to satisfy his hunger.
Yu Xiaocao originally wanted to keep Yu Hang and Xiao Lian to stay in Beijing for a few more days. But Yu Hang was able to do most of the work in Tang Gu's Zhuangzi. Yu Hai saw that his son was growing up gradually and his temperament was stable, so he began to consciously train him. In the future, the two daughters are going to marry, and the youngest son is talented in reading, so his future is boundless. Although most of the nearly 1,000 mu of Zhuangzi in the family were sent by the king of Yangjun, there will be more and more fields in the family in the future, and Yu Hang, the eldest son, must stand up for the family. Now the greenhouse vegetable business will definitely be booming until spring, and Yu Hang is also afraid that his father will be too busy alone, so he politely declines his younger sister's kindness.
Xiao Lian is also busy, Cherry is in charge of the new pharmaceutical workshop in Beijing, and the pharmaceutical workshop in Dongshan Village is handed over to her. The little girl grasped the prescription of the medicine, the ratio of the medicinal materials, and the management of the personnel. Most of the workers in the pharmaceutical workshop are hired from the village and nearby villages. They are very convinced of Yu's family, and they don't look down on her as a teenager, and she is very handy in management. The holiday of the pharmaceutical workshop ended at the end of the first month of the month. Even though there was a supervisor watching, Xiao Lian was still a little worried.
In this way, Yu Xiaocao was thrown into the capital again alone. In fact, she also wanted to take this opportunity to go back to Dongshan Village to live with her family for a while. However, the women's beauty and health club is still under intensive preparations. Although most of the work is handed over to a female shopkeeper recommended to her by King Yang Jun, and the girl He Chun, as the owner, she can't Just let it go
Besides, the bodies of Anping Hou Shizi and his wife had to be nursed by her. In fact, the bodies of these two people are just like the diagnosis given by the imperial physicians, there is nothing serious about them. It is only because of her diet that she has few sperm. As long as she stops the food that hinders the vitality of sperm, plus her medicinal diet and Lingshi water, I believe there will be good news soon.
Yu Xiaocao, who stayed in Beijing, stayed at her own house for a few days and her godmother's house for a few days. Sometimes, when she was inspecting Huangzhuang, she also rested in the reserved yard of Huangzhuang. When King Yangjun was in Beijing, he was always by her side, and it wasn't too difficult. But after the first lunar month, Zhu Junyang, who was highly valued by the emperor, also took errands to go out of Beijing from time to time, sometimes for ten days and half a month, which made Yu Xiaocao feel a little disappointed.
Sometimes, Yu Xiaocao felt that she was hypocritical. In this feudal society where men are superior to women, she has always planned to be celibate for the rest of her life. When I used to work hard to improve my life with my family, I had to rely on myself for everything. A girl under ten years old supported a family and had no time to think about other things. Now someone loves someone, someone loves someone, and someone is with him, but they feel sad for spring and autumn. Just idle! It seems that I have to keep myself busy, otherwise, like other women, I will become a dodder dependent on men for everything!
Fortunately, the season of spring and flowers has come quietly. On the mountain behind Huangzhuang and Zhu Junyang's Zhuangzi, there is a piece of colorful, gorgeous colors all over the mountain, which looks like colorful clouds from a distance.
Especially in Zhu Junyang's Zhuangzi, almost all kinds of flowers are planted on the back mountain, including common varieties, such as peonies, jasmines, azaleas, magnolias, roses, etc.; there are also some uncommon ones, such as lanterns. flowers, bergamot, toi toi, red Qiaomei, etc.; of course, roses, forget-me-nots, lilies, tulips, etc. imported from the West...
Each flower is planted in pieces and managed by experienced gardeners. The mountain is full of flowers blooming one after another, and the picture is definitely a sea of flowers, like a fairyland.
I don't know who spread the news, there are elegant literati in Beijing, talented scholars and beautiful ladies come to "Huashan" to enjoy the scenery. The stewards of Yangjun Wangzhuangzi are also very good at building various pavilions on the mountain, including wild thatched pavilions, exquisite octagonal pavilions, simple small round pavilions, and lively double-eave pavilions. .
If it wasn't for the urgent time, Guanshi really wanted to build a Liubei Pavilion. The so-called Liubei Pavilion is the famous "Qushui Liushang", where wine glasses flow on the water, which is the favorite of literati. These various pavilions with the best views of flowers are deeply loved by literati and poets, and some well-known literati even volunteered to write couplets for the pavilions!
Yu Xiaocao's scented tea also began to bloom with the warmth of spring, and it was in full swing. Daughters and daughters-in-law from nearby villages are hired to collect flower petals of various colors at a wage of 20 cents a day, and after a special process, they are scented to make different types of scented tea. Every kind of scented tea, the last process is secretly controlled by Yu Xiaocao. In the eyes of others, it is very mysterious, but in fact, it is the little golden cat that transforms the little butian stone, rolling in various scented teas, leaving traces of spiritual energy on the scented teas. This is the unique feature of "Hua Xiangrong" herbal tea, which cannot be imitated by others.
On the other side of Huangzhuang, the peach blossoms bloomed more than the pear blossoms. Peach blossoms can nourish blood and improve complexion, and pear blossoms can improve dark spots on the face, and these two fruits are precisely the most grown in Huangzhuang. Therefore, when these two kinds of flowers bloomed, Yu Xiaocao personally urged the girls around her and the girls from the tenants of Huangzhuang to pick some male flowers and pick them.
With the raw materials available, herbal teas are produced in batches, and the products in the cosmetics production workshop headed by He Chun are gradually enriched. "Hua Xiangrong" beauty and health club opened grandly in this romantic April!
The house bestowed by the emperor has been rebuilt long ago. A row of houses outside has been converted into shops, three of which sell herbal teas, three of which sell cosmetics, and three of which are health products. The houses inside are still beautiful courtyards.
Yu Xiaocao was too lazy to name the courtyard, so she stole the name of the courtyard from the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions". What is Yihong Courtyard, what is Xiaoxiang Pavilion, what is Hengwu Court, what is Zilingzhou... As soon as the name of the courtyard came out, it won unanimous praise from the famous talented woman Yuan Xueyan, who praised her as a beautiful person. There are levels.
The plaque of the beauty and health club is the plum blossom script written by the empress herself, and it is made by the most famous craftsman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On the opening day, Zhu Junyang got a dragon and lion dance team from somewhere, and the whole street was bustling with gongs and drums. In addition to the personal maids sent by the empress, the people who unveiled the plaque were also the wives of the princes and wives of the Marquis of Anning. Besides them, there were also the "Shuangshu in Beijing".
Because peach blossom tea has been passed down as a myth in Beijing, the "Huaxiangrong" beauty and health club has been paid attention to by the ladies in Beijing before it opened. As for the skin care, body care and body care in the beauty and health club, they are also paid attention to. Mrs. Fang has maintained her skin and body so well just by drinking scented tea, if she adds other care items, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! !
Ladies and gentlemen have no doubts about the efficacy of herbal tea, health tea and various skin care products. If the empress can be allowed to come forward, if the effect is not good, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the mother of a country? Forgive the girl from the Yu family who dare not!
On the opening day, in front of the "Hua Xiangrong" Beauty and Health Club, sedan chairs and carriages stopped early. There are noble ladies from the royal family, high-ranking official wives, delicate official ladies, and wealthy businessmen's wives who favor concubines... They all have one thing in common, that is, they are not short of money! !
These ladies and ladies, taking the family as a unit, were invited into elegantly furnished rooms one by one. Apart from other things, just looking at the furnishings in the room, there is no sense of merchants and philistines, but it seems to be tailor-made according to everyone's hobbies.
For example, the wife of the Taishi family was a famous talented woman when she was young, and her daughter was also proficient in all kinds of poetry and poetry.
And the wife of the Wenyuange University scholar, loves flowers and plants, and likes famous flowers. In the room she was in, there were rare orchids, top-quality peonies, precious peonies... There were some types that she had never seen before. As soon as she entered the room, she almost forgot what she was doing here, and admired the flowers and plants eagerly.
…
Examples like this abound. The rooms everyone enters are so desirable. Naturally, this is the skill of the female shopkeeper. She has figured out the preferences of almost all potential customers in Beijing, and has created more than thirty rooms with different styles, specially used to entertain the customers of "Hua Xiangrong". After Yu Xiaocao found out, she trusted her even more, reused her, and increased her salary a lot.
Customers in each room will get a brochure. It introduced the types and effects of skin care products, skin care products and herbal teas in detail, and there was a well-trained maid standing beside them to explain some questions they didn't understand.
If you are interested in other service items in the health club, you will receive another brochure introducing the benefits of skin care, lymphatic drainage, back opening scraping, head therapy and foot bath. These maids are eloquent, their voices are soft and pleasant, and their introductions to health care items can go deep into people's hearts.
Many customers are very interested in the membership system of beauty and health clubs. You can apply for various membership cards by spending a certain amount of money. The membership card is not only the basis for the next consumption discount, but also a status symbol.
