Chapter Forty-One

Ning Xianbi scolded Shen Qianshan and Ning Che'an in her heart. But now she finally let go of her worries. It turned out that the glass bottle containing perfume had been known to others by this time. I just don’t know if it was passed over from the West, or if the craftsmen of the Daqing Dynasty had already mastered the firing method.

While thinking about it, he smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I didn't take it out. I originally wanted to wait until the weather was better and give this to grandma. This fragrant dew is great for mixing with water when your heart feels hot, so I didn't bring it with me either. On your body, since everyone wants to see it, Yu'er, go to the third old lady and get the bottle of perfume from the small drawer."

Yu'er agreed and went out. Several girls here looked at Ning Xianbi with flickering eyes, and they all thought to themselves: Why is this sixth sister's temperament so weird? It was given by the prince's son. Then Is there anything bad about it? I didn't say that I kept it close to my body, but just put it in a drawer casually.

Yuanshi looked Ning Xianbi up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, "Why did the Third Young Master suddenly think of giving something to the Sixth Young Lady? Do you guys meet often?"

Ning Xianbi frowned and glanced at Yuanshi indifferently. She understood her sinister intentions and said calmly: "Today I was making medicine in Xinglin Garden. Several brothers came in with the third young master, saying they were here to get the third grandfather. I specially made the anti-summer medicine for the eldest princess. Since Third Grandpa was not here, I gave it to him and he kept it. It was originally supposed to be given to Third Grandpa, but I thought that Third Grandpa was always in good health. , and you can move around, but grandma can only stay at home, so this thing is better for grandma."

When Mrs. Yuan heard that Shen Qianshan was accompanied by her sons and nephews, she looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sixth Miss is really filial. It's not in vain for the old lady to love you."

After saying that, Mrs. Qu laughed and said: "The second brother and sister are too nervous. How can such a big child know how to give and receive privately? It's just the sixth girl who took the medicine, and the third young master is a child and doesn't want to receive it in vain, so Just throwing away the bottle of perfume, is it worth your thinking?"

Yuan's face turned red, she looked at Mrs. Qu and argued, "My sister-in-law has wronged me, so why should I think so much? It's just a waste of time to stop talking."

After saying that, Ning Yulan smiled and said: "In any case, this is a good thing. The third uncle has such a relationship with Prince Rui's family, so the nephews can get along with the third young master. From now on, only their The good thing is that the reputation of this Third Young Master was something we heard about when we were in Jiaozhou that day. It is really rare for him to be famous all over the world at such a young age."

So everyone said a few good words about Shen Qianshan. Ning Xianbi felt annoyed, but the eyes of the other girls showed eagerness. She sighed in her heart, knowing that these girls may not have fallen in love with Shen yet. Qianshan, it was just vanity. He knew that the boy he knew was so powerful, so he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

But when they grow up, this vanity will turn into strands of affection. It is natural for beautiful women to love heroes, and the girls in the Ning family are all beautiful. Although Bai Caizhi is even more outstanding than the other girls , just her identity as the daughter of a guilty minister meant that she would not be married into the Shen family by an open matchmaker. It seems that she has the most contact with Shen Qianshan at present, but she is an ordinary-looking person. It is no wonder that the eldest uncle and the second uncle are secretly fighting each other. I have an idea, I am afraid that these girls are so enthusiastic about Shen Qianshan, and the teachings of these two mothers are indispensable behind them.

Thinking of this, I felt my mood waning, and suddenly I heard the door curtain ringing, and then Yu'er walked in and handed the perfume bottle that Ning Xianbi put in the drawer to Mrs. Jiang. Everyone looked at it for a while, and they all clicked their tongues.

Admired. Ning Xianbi didn't even look at it. She walked to Ning Cheshou and whispered: "Second brother, this fragrant dew is very expensive in gold, is the glass bottle also very expensive? Do we sell this kind in Beijing?

Something?"

Ning Cheshou said with a smile: "In recent years, there have been a lot more ships going to sea. I have heard that there are often strange foreign goods coming from Guangzhou, but I have never seen this glass. I heard that foreign envoys came to the palace to offer it

We have twelve glass mirrors, and those mirrors are much clearer than our bronze mirrors. When people look at them, they are not blurry at all. It is what it is, but I am afraid that except for a few princes' palaces, it may not be visible in other homes.

There are only twelve faces in the Tong Gong Palace, and at most they are rewards to a few princes. If it is a foreign product from Guangzhou, it is too valuable and too fragile, so the merchants will not take the risk."

"So that's it."

Ning Xianbi couldn't hide her disappointment. Glass and mirrors were so expensive. How could they expect glass to be sold on the market? Not to mention those professional culture media and test tubes. She sighed: Sure enough, she still took it too much for granted.

Already.

But Ning Cheshou smiled and said: "This glass is indeed a good thing. It looks exquisite and clear. No wonder Sixth Sister likes it. But if others like it, that's it. If you like it, you might as well go to Mr. Shen. I heard that because

When the eldest princess was sick, he often went to the Siyi Pavilion when he was seven years old, dealing specifically with those foreigners. He also got foreign medicine for the eldest princess several times, but with little effect, even those who preached in the Siyi Pavilion.

, both foreign envoys and envoys are very polite to him. If you want a large glass, I dare not tell you. Some small ones may be available."

"Isn't the Siyi Pavilion a place for foreign envoys to live? What? Even missionaries can live there?" This Siyi Pavilion was seen in historical novels about time travel, so Ning Xianbi knew a little bit about it.

.

Ning Cheshou couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that she even knew this, and said with a smile: "It is said that Sixth Sister loves reading, and she really knows a lot. The Siyi Pavilion is indeed a place for foreign envoys to live, but because of these people

They are too different from us. If we let them wander elsewhere rashly, they might be beaten to death by the locals as monsters. Therefore, whenever those foreign envoys and missionaries come to our Daqing Dynasty, they must first go to the Ministry of Rites to register and obtain

A certificate serves as a guarantee for walking, and because they are messengers of some god or something, even the envoys respect them very much. Therefore, in order not to lose the prestige of the country and show my great Chinese magnanimity, the emperor has practiced four in all provinces.

The Yi Pavilion is specially for them to live in. The missionaries and foreign envoys in the capital live together in the Si Yi Pavilion to the east of the imperial city."

"So that's it." Ning Xianbi nodded and secretly said to the missionaries, if there are those who specialize in medical skills among them, they might be able to see simple glassware from them.
