Everyone raised their heads and looked at this "heroine among women", admiring her courage in their hearts. Some people actually secretly laughed at each other, waiting to see the consequences of her bad face.
However, some people are afraid that if this "Ningxiang Pill" really has miraculous effects, then Wang Yanran's actions will make her lose face in front of the queen. Then she will most likely become the second prince's concubine!
Everyone looked at Wang Yanran angrily for a moment, praying silently in their hearts, praying to God to open his eyes and let this pushy bitch rot in his face.
The queen looked at Wang Yanran with great satisfaction and vaguely remembered that she was the granddaughter of Wang Ge Lao, a cabinet scholar. Well... she looks good and has courage. She should send someone to investigate her character in the future.
Ting Li immediately sent someone to fetch water. After Wang Yanran took off her makeup and cleansed her face, he applied it on her face himself. Everyone gathered around Wang Yanran to look at her, and her face turned red.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yanran washed the "Ningxiang Pill" powder off her face, and then...
Someone in the crowd sighed, "Sister Yanran's skin instantly became so moist and translucent?! This Ningxiang Pill is really amazing!"
The other noble ladies were astonished by the amazing efficacy of this "Ningxiang Pill". Princess Tingli was indeed not lying.
When the ladies saw how magical the "Ningxiang Pills" were, they forgot their dignity for a moment and asked Tingli where they could buy the "Ningxiang Pills".
Tingli didn't blame him and said with a smile: "This shop is located in a remote place, right at the end of the old street at the east gate of the city!"
After hearing this, the noble women were all impatient and wanted to rush to the "Ningxiang Pavilion" immediately to buy Ningxiang Pills.
On the second day, the originally deserted Ningxiang Building suddenly had many maids and servants coming to buy Ningxiang Pills.
But one pill of Ningxiang Pills was sold for ten taels of silver, so the ladies from the aristocratic families only bought two or three pills and went back for testing.
After using it, my skin was indeed significantly improved. Immediately, the wonderful effect of Ningxiang Pills became a sensation in the capital.
As more people bought it, the supply of Ningxiang Pills in the "Ningxiang Pavilion" exceeded the demand. In a short time, the price of Ningxiang Pills that originally cost ten taels of silver was sold to fifty taels.
The men from the bureaucratic family felt that the women were really prodigal, but when they saw that their wives were indeed more beautiful than before, they felt a lot more comfortable, so they acquiesced in their purchase of the sky-high-priced beauty pills.
Later, the Ningxiang Pills were in short supply and Ji Moyan couldn't make them even with more than a dozen helpers, and there was still a big gap between the target of raising military pay, so Gu Man gave Ji Moyan an idea.
You can ask them to pay a deposit first, and then ship the goods to them when the goods are available. Those who place a deposit in advance can enjoy a 30% discount on each Ningxiang Pill.
In this way, firstly for the efficacy, and secondly to save a lot of silver. Over time, more and more people placed orders.
In just one month, with just this Ningxiang Pill, I made a net profit of two hundred thousand taels of silver, finally relieving the urgent need for the emptiness of the national treasury!
After the emperor heard about this, he greatly praised Gu Man and Ji Moyan, and personally wrote for their shop.
When everyone knew that the owners behind the "Ningxiang Pavilion" were Gu Man and Ji Moyan, there was a lot of discussion. However, this Ningxiang Pill was indeed a good thing, so they stopped talking. Instead, they had the emperor's own handwritten inscription.
Feeling more secure, some women who had been reluctant to spend money on Ningxiang Pills reluctantly bought some.
The money used to support the frontier soldiers was fully prepared. In order to ensure the usage of Ningxiang Pills, they also opened several branches of "Ningxiang Pavilion" in the capital, and even opened branches outside the capital. Ji Moyan and Gu
Man then gradually lowered the price of Ningxiang Pills so that girls from ordinary families can also afford Ningxiang Pills.
For a time, Gu Man and Ji Moyan's reputations were well-known throughout the capital. People's previous bad impression of Gu Man also changed.
However, Gu Man and Ji Moyan's hearts were not in the capital. The business of Ningxiang Pills was very good. Finally, they sold the method of making Ningxiang Pills to the Empress at a very cheap price. From then on, "Ningxiang Pavilion"
"It became a state-owned enterprise.
The Empress was also very satisfied with this behavior of Gu Man and Ji Moyan.
The emperor also paid more attention to and loved the queen.
These days, Gu Man and Ji Moyan have been making Ningxiang Pills. The two of them worked day and night. Although they were very tired and hard, they both felt that their days were more comfortable and satisfying than ever before.
After this matter came to an end, Ji Moyan decided to have a good talk with Cheng Mo.
After Ji Moyan found Cheng Mo, he saw that Cheng Mo was unshaven and very decadent. After seeing Ji Moyan, his eyes kept dodging.
Ji Moyan couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, she finally said, "Master Hou, I have something to tell you!"
Cheng Mo stood up suddenly and walked towards the door, saying in a hurry: "The emperor sent me to transport military pay to the border. Let's set off immediately. If you have anything to do, wait until I get back."
After saying that, Cheng Mo left the Hou Mansion without looking back.
A month after Cheng Mo left the capital for the border, another major event happened in the capital.
plague……
Overnight, there were suddenly many patients with coughs in the medical clinics in the capital. At first, they thought they were simple typhoid fever, but then gradually turned into tuberculosis, and then they turned purple and black and died from vomiting blood.
The imperial court vigorously sent people to control the epidemic and investigate its source.
This investigation revealed that such a case had occurred half a month ago in Xingyang City, fifty miles away from the capital. However, the officials there were afraid that the court would punish them, so they kept it secret. Later, the epidemic went crazy.
It spread, and officials saw that they could no longer hide it, so they quietly ran away.
Seeing that all the officials had run away, the common people dragged their families to the capital and begged the court for treatment. In addition, the doctors in the capital must be people with excellent medical skills, so many people from outside the city, infected or not, rushed in.
to the capital.
Later, when the official was found, he was already infected with the epidemic and was terminally ill, so we will not mention it for the time being.
Due to the ferocity of the epidemic, the hospital was at a loss and could only try more medicines on the sick patients, but they could not cure them.
As a doctor, Ji Moyan naturally could not turn a blind eye, so he treated patients in the epidemic area every day. In order not to bring the virus to the mansion and infect the people in the mansion, Ji Moyan ate and lived outside with the imperial doctors.
.
Gu Man wanted to help, but Ji Moyan didn't allow her to go out. Ji Moyan said: "I am a doctor, and I have the responsibility and obligation to treat illnesses and save people! If you go, not only can you not help, but if you are infected,
On the contrary, it is not a help! You can just stay at home with peace of mind! This way I can feel more at ease!"
Gu Man was naturally worried about Ji Moyan's safety while staying at the Hou Mansion. This plague came out of nowhere. There was no mention of such a plague in the book, so Gu Man was also caught off guard.
Gu Man, who had always grasped God's perspective, was at a loss for the first time. She couldn't do anything to help, so she donated the 8,000 taels of silver she had obtained at "Jidilou" to buy medicinal materials.
