Chapter 131 Strange Perfume
Zhou Chang suddenly remembered what the small bottle might be, and replied to Zhong Yu's words: "Yes, I remember, Mr. Zhong once mentioned it."
"Since he left Boyin Academy, he really couldn't find a suitable job." Zhong Yu didn't pay attention and just continued, "This classmate of mine is much better than me in terms of intelligence and cunning, but there is one thing, he is a person who likes to make friends and speaks quickly, so he tends to talk too much and is inevitably not cautious enough."
"That's nothing. The key is that the gentleman affirms his ability. As long as he can get the job done and has reliable character, there will be no problem." Zhou Chang's attention was all on the glass bottle.
But he did not forget Yuan Yu's warning and did not show this thing to anyone else.
So while talking to Zhong Yu, he picked up a few pieces of parchment.
Zhong Yu was still talking to himself: "I can vouch for his ability to do things. As for his character, I have known him for many years and there is no problem with his character."
"Then please take care of it, sir. We are short of manpower right now, so we should get more manpower as soon as possible." Zhou Chang looked at the document on the parchment that looked like a house deed or a land deed, but he was not sure.
Zhong Yu then relaxed his brows a little: "Brother Ma, his ancestral home is from Xihua, Dingzhou. He was a Jinshi in the third year of You'an. Now his whole family is in Jindu..."
"As long as the sir is optimistic about the person, I will have no worries." Zhou Chang was no longer interested in listening to what Zhong Yu said. "Sir, help me take a look, what is this?"
Zhong Yu didn't care about being interrupted. He took the parchment and looked at it. Surprise reappeared in his eyes: "Your Highness, this is the sale document of the property deeds and land deeds of the three medical clinics and drugstores."
"Business documents?" Zhou Chang stood up from his chair.
"The documents show that these three medicine shops belong to the prince." Zhong Yu carefully confirmed again, "Yes, these three medicine shops are all in Jindu City, and one of them is also in Jixiangfang."
"This..." Zhou Chang was speechless.
Yuan Yu not only gave her 100,000 taels of silver, but also added three pharmacies?
Zhou Chang pinched his thigh and asked, "How much silver are these three medical clinics and drugstores worth?"
"This..." Zhong Yuquan speculated, "If we only talk about the shops, they are not worth much silver, but this also includes the land deeds. I'm afraid one shop would cost about five thousand taels of silver. The three shops together would probably cost more than ten thousand taels of silver."
Zhou Chang was no longer able to speak.
Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness resurfaced. The 100,000 taels of silver were not a big deal, but these three pharmacies were obviously given to him by Yuan Yu to please him.
Uncontrollably, he took the parchment back and held it in his hand, feeling overwhelmed with excitement.
This time Zhong Yuyi did not object.
Compared to silver, the pharmacy is obviously more sincere.
Zhou Chang was indifferent to this and could only let Prince Yi Fengming's emotions rise and fall. The only thing she was thinking about and curious about was the small transparent bottle made of emerald green glass inlaid with gold at the bottom of the brocade box.
After Prince Yi Fengming calmed down, Zhou Chang spoke a few words to Zhong Yu in a hurry and then sent him out.
After Zhong Yuyi left, Zhou Chang couldn't wait to take out a small transparent bottle made of emerald green glass inlaid with gold.
The size of the bottle seems like a trial bottle of perfume from my previous life.
"Bang!" Zhou Chang pulled out the cork from the bottle, brought it to his nose and took a sniff.
"Hah——" I almost vomited.
Fortunately, she didn't eat anything just now, otherwise she would have vomited.
Zhou Chang forced himself not to throw the bottle away. He stuffed the cork back into the bottle and pushed it away. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s hard to describe what the smell is, familiar yet strange, pungent yet disgusting.
"Ah, isn't this the smell of body odor plus sweat? Of course, there's also some pungent floral scent in it. Yes, it's more like the mixed smell of the foreign black people I met on the university campus in my previous life." Zhou Chang finally remembered how to describe it.
In my previous life, I heard that there was a perfume called Jo Malone, which was expensive and smelled bad. It was like this.
A transparent bottle made of emerald green glass inlaid with gold, what a gorgeous packaging, and what's inside?
Zhou Chang simply couldn't believe it.
What's wrong with Emperor Lin? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
He then put the bottle back into the brocade box and placed the box in the farthest corner of the table.
She never wanted to smell it again in her life.
It took Zhou Chang most of the day to get out of the shadow left by the smell.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark outside. I was just wondering why no one had brought me food and drinks at this hour, when Aunt Jing came in with snacks and dinner.
"Your Highness, the temperature has suddenly turned colder these past two days, so Your Majesty has moved up the dinner table so that you can eat early and rest early." Aunt Jing placed four dishes, a soup and a plate of sugar-coated biscuits in front of Zhou Chang.
"Okay, got it." After Zhou Chang recognized Wang Mama's cooking skills, he had accepted his fate and would just eat whatever she cooked.
"Your Highness, what do you think of the two girls, Xinxian and Xinmu?" Aunt Jing asked suddenly.
Zhou Chang stuffed his mouth with food while he was hungry, and said perfunctorily, "Very good."
He took a few bites of food and picked up the soup bowl. For a long while, he didn't hear any movement from Aunt Jing.
Normally, Aunt Jing would nag her whenever she had the chance, but why did she remain silent today?
When I looked up, Aunt Jing was looking out the window.
Wouldn’t it be better if she didn’t nag? Zhou Chang didn’t care.
I ate my meal in a hurry and ended up overeating without realizing it.
Aunt Jing cleared the dishes and left.
Feeling very full and having not gone out for another day, Zhou Chang strolled out of the study to digest the food.
Before I knew it, I had walked around and arrived at the central courtyard. The fruit trees planted on both sides of the courtyard were not affected by the temperature, and their branches and leaves became more lush.
Further ahead is the front hall. The doors on the front and back are usually wide open because there is no furniture inside, so it is convenient to make a doorway for passing through.
Enter from the back door of the front hall and pass through the front hall to reach the front courtyard.
There's nothing to see there except vegetable fields on both sides.
Three months passed, and Zhou Chang was already familiar with most of Prince Yi's Mansion except for one place. There was really nothing to see. But if he wanted to go out, what could he do without money?
As he hesitated, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, came back from the side of the front hall, and went in through the back door of the front hall.
Zhou Chang blinked hard and realized that the figure was definitely Mr. Zhong.
She was regretting that she should not have given away all the 100,000 taels of silver in the afternoon. It would be better to take advantage of the "chance encounter" to find a way to get some of the silver back. Even if she didn't spend it, she had to find a way to bring goods to the customers in the plane.
Although Zhong Yuping looked sick, he walked quite fast and disappeared into the front hall in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Chang also quickly followed and walked up the steps to the back door of the front hall.
It was completely dark. The front hall was empty without any furniture and was silent. Prince Yi's palace was usually without even patrolling soldiers.
After entering the front hall, Zhong Yuzheng had a panoramic view and was about to leave the front hall.
Just as he was about to say hello, Zhong Yu suddenly dodged and squatted down, hiding behind the front door. "Go ahead and do it, don't be afraid, no one cares anyway;
Even if someone cares, what is a person? "
