Chapter 82 Liu Lanhua

At this moment, Yang Zijin frowned and stared at Lan, "Are you the finger man that someone arranges around me?"

"Your Highness, I am not. I am not." As soon as the words came out, Lan was stunned at first, then she immediately knelt on the ground and looked at Yang Zijin tearfully.

If she were labeled that she was not loyal to her master, she would be dismissed from the mansion. If she went to another mansion to work. Surely no one would hire her. If she lost her job, her mother who lay on the bed for sickness, could not afford the medicine and could only wait for death.

"I just want to ask. Lan, you don't have to be like this. Get up. I believe what you have said. Yang Zijin appeased Lan who was dismayed.

Looking at Lan's deranged and confused eyes, Yang Zijin knew that it wouldn't be her. No matter how smart a person was, his eyes couldn't fake.

Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Lan couldn't hold her tears anymore. She kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you for believing in me."

Jiang Wei stepped forward to uphold Lan who was tearful, "Don't cry. Get up. Her Highness has no other intention."

Then, Lan wiped the tears on her face with the sleeve.

Yang Zijin looked at Lan who had cried her eye out, and couldn't help thinking of the feeling of being treated unjustly in her previous life. She certainly understood that feeling. It would be better to ask directly in her presence rather than investigate behind her back. In this way, people would have the chance to explain.

Thinking of this, she told Jiang Wei, "You take Lan back to the room first."

Then, she winked at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei understood, "Lan, let's get out first!"

They saluted Yang Zijin and walked out!

After they went out, Yang Zijin frowned, "If it were not Lan, who would it be?"

It seemed that she needed to be alert all the time.

What Yang Zijin didn't know was that no one had arranged informants around her. The problem was due to the Sounding with Steps, which would never occur to her.

After having lunch, Yang Zijin saw that Lan's emotions had been calmed down and she was assured. Then she called Jiang Wei to go with her to go to Woman Flower together.

The street was lively and buzzing. Obviously, Yang Zijin preferred a lively place to the quiet mansion of the duke.

Walking into Woman Flower, they saw that it was quiet in the shop. Wen Lan dozed off with the girls who were in charge of here.

Seeing this, Yang Zijin walked to Wen Lan and coughed twice.

Wen Lan opened her eyes when she heard the movement. Seeing that it was Yang Zijin, she was about to banter. However, Yang Zijin shot her a look, and Wen Lan suddenly remembered what she had been told before.

Then she saluted to Yang Zijin, pretending to be frightened, "Your...Your Highness, you're here."

"You are so bold that you are still sleeping when the infanta comes!" Jiang Wei raised her voice a little.

The girl next to her was also woken up at this moment. Seeing this, she knelt immediately!

The steward beside them had already heard from these girls that the shop had been purchased by the infanta. The steward, who had never met the infanta, heard this and quickly ran forward, "I do not know that your Highness comes. I am to blame."

Then he knelt.

"Everyone stands up!" Yang Zijin spoke at this time, but she didn't want to go on like this. She felt great pressure when they knelt for a tiny mistake.

Seeing that they all stood up, Yang Zijin said again, "You don't have to be constrained because of your identity. Since I purchased this shop, I am your boss. In the future, you should exempt prostration if you could."

"Yes, Your Highness." These people replied together.

Yang Zijin then turned to the steward and asked him, "Show me the latest account book!"

"Yes, I'll get it." Then he walked to the counter and took out an account book from the drawer and gave it to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin took it and read it carefully. She found that there was little income balance for the last half month. She closed the account book and handed it to the steward.

She thought for a while and said to Wen Lan, "Who is in charge of tailoring? Call her."

"Yes, I will go to call her now!" Wen Lan responded.

In this interval, Yang Zijin frowned, and thought about how to solve the problem at hand. Just now, she had read the account book and found that although the dresses were not so popular, the bras were still selling well. Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Yang Zijin!

At this moment, Wen Lan had brought Sister Liu here.

Sister Liu saw Yang Zijin and was about to kneel. But she was stopped by Yang Zijin, "These mere courtesies are not needed."

Wen Lan had already told her on her way here, that this infanta didn't have so many rules, and she told her not to be nervous. At first, she didn't believe it, and now it seemed that Wen Lan was right!

"What should I call you?" Yang Zijin asked her.

Sister Liu quickly replied, "My name is Liu Lanhua."

"Liu Lanhua, how about calling you Sister Liu?" Yang Zijin repeated and said. Some shows still had to be put on.

Sister Liu was so panicky, "No... No. No. Your Highness, how can I let you call me Sister Liu? Your Highness, I’m not able to afford it!"

"It's just an appellation. It doesn't matter!" Yang Zijin said again.

Then she said to Sister Liu, "The Woman Flower 's condition has not been well in recent days. I would like to ask Sister Liu to come in and discuss with me about the next steps!"

After Uncle Liu had eaten and drank his fill, he put the roast duck aside.

Yang Zijin had noticed this movement of Uncle Liu. That duck was for Mo Shang. She knew that although Uncle Liu had been strict with Mo Shang, he still loved Mo Shang dearly. She asked on purpose with a smile, "Uncle Liu, why didn't you eat this roast duck? Was it for Mo Shang?"

"No, I am full now, and I will eat it later!" Uncle Liu wouldn't admit it when he was laid bare by Yang Zijin, so he said stubbornly.

The subject was changed inadvertently, "Tell me. What do you want from me again!"

"I do have something to ask Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu, do you know what kind of herb can play a role in whitening and anti-aging?" Seeing that Uncle Liu was unwilling to admit, Yang Zijin didn't continue asking. And she told him why she came as he had asked.

Uncle Liu couldn't understand for some time, staring at Yang Zijin for a while, "What are you going to do with them? Your skin doesn't need them at all."

"Who said that I want to use them? I'm going to make some skincare products of these herbs and sell them in the shop." Yang Zijin grinned.

Uncle Liu understood after hearing this, and then said, "People with spots on the face can use this white aconite, but it contains traces of toxins. So, it needs to be used with Angelica to reduce the poisoning effect, and it can help whiten and moisten.

"What's more, the powders of the ginseng can retain youthful looks. But the price is more expensive. Washing the face with Bletilla striata in both the morning and evening can make the skin smooth and delicate." Uncle Liu added.

"but..."

"But what?" Yang Zijin asked Uncle Liu immediately when he stopped speaking.

Uncle Liu thought for a moment and then said, "I am afraid that herbs with the function of anti-aging and reducing wrinkles are a little difficult to get."

"What is it? Say as much as you can!" Yang Zijin asked.

Uncle Liu had to tell her, "It's the Saussurea on the Tianshan Mountain."

"Saussurea?" This species had already become extinct in her time. Today, she heard Uncle Liu saying this and couldn't help being curious.

"Yes, the Saussurea grows in the Tianshan mountain which is extremely cold, and it would bloom in three to five years. Because of the special growth environment, it is hard to find." Uncle Liu explained.

Hearing what Uncle Liu had said, Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Seeing Yang Zijin feel lost, Uncle Liu said again, "But in my early years, I was fortunate enough to get a one, and it was sealed with a special method. It has not been used until today. Since you need it, I will give it to you. "

"Really? Do you have the Saussurea here?" Yang Zijin didn't believe it. Uncle Liu even had a Saussurea in his shabby clinic.

Uncle Liu didn't respond, and headed for the backroom!

After a minute, Uncle Liu came out with a small wooden box and put it on the table.

Yang Zijin couldn't wait to open it. The Saussurea was well preserved. The whole body was white, and the corolla was lilac. Although she had never seen it before, she knew it was a superb Saussurea.

Then, Yang Zijin asked uncertainly, "Uncle Liu, are you willing to give me the Saussurea?"

"Originally, I wanted to give it to you. However, hearing your words, now I'm a little bit reluctant to do so." Uncle Liu said while showing a little reluctance!

Yang Zijin looked at Uncle Liu with a smile on her face at this moment. "I knew Uncle Liu was the best, so I accepted it."

Then, she closed the small wooden box and quickly held it in her arms tightly, fearing that the techy old man would regret it later.

"However, there are some things that you have to bear in mind." Uncle Liu was getting serious.

Yang Zijin also stopped smiling, "Uncle Liu. Go ahead, please."

"Most of these whitening herbs are cold. Pregnant women and women who have just given birth to the child can't use them, especially the white aconite. If it is used by people with sensitive skin, it will not only fail to whiten the skin, but also make the erythema occur on the face. If it is serious, it will disfigure the people who use it. "Uncle Liu told Yang Zijin about the serious side-effects.

Yang Zijin had thought of these problems before she came. In her previous life, she had part-time jobs in the cosmetics shop for a few days. She had already known what Uncle Liu had said. There were modern allergy testers. Although they were not available in ancient times, she had already thought of countermeasures!

Yang Zijin nodded, "Uncle Liu, don't worry. I have my own solution!"

After that, Uncle Liu told Yang Zijin about the dosage and preparation of these medical powders, which could maximize their effects!

Yang Zijin took a note of all.

When she returned to the mansion of the Duke Mu, it was still early. Yang Zijin went back to the room and wrote down the proportion that Uncle Liu had said, as well as the medical materials she needed to buy.

Opening the box, Yang Zijin looked at this Saussurea carefully. "Whether the brand could make a good start is up to you." thought Yang Zijin.

The day after tomorrow would be the birthday of the old lady of the Mansion of Grand Preceptor. Those who would attend the banquet on that day had prominent identities. She wanted to make these masks before the birthday banquet. This is the time that she could befriend the ladies from various mansions. If she wanted to investigate the case in that year, she couldn't do it alone.

After dinner, Yang Zijin told Jiang Wei not to disturb her if there was nothing important.

Then she locked herself in the house, took out the rice paper and her homemade charcoal pencil, and started drawing.

She wanted to speed up to have the design drawings of the accessories done and asked Sister Liu to fabricate a batch of the accessories first to see how the effect would be. Then she would fabricate more.

Yang Zijin drew several styles one by one and stretched herself. She heard the some people speaking outside the door, so she strained her ears to catch the sound. She could vaguely hear that Jiang Wei said, "Madam, the infanta has already slept. I will tell her tomorrow. "

After a while, there was no more sound. Yang Zijin ignored it. She bowed her head and continued drawing.
