Chapter 121 Obtaining the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus
Xiaoqin asked listlessly, "Master, what good job do you have?"
An Muxi looked at her in surprise. What happened to this little girl recently?
"Are you sick? Why do you look so sick?"
Chen Xiang, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth and laughed, "Didn't Guard Jianfeng go out with the prince recently? Sister Xiaoqin must be suffering from lovesickness."
Xiaoqin's ears turned red as she laughed and scolded, "You stupid girl, you dare to tease me? What nonsense are you talking about? I'll beat you to death."
As he said this, he started to fight with Chenxiang. An Muxi held her forehead with her hand. It was hard to keep a girl when she grew up. She just didn't know if Jianfeng was interested in Xiaoqin. If so, she wouldn't mind playing matchmaker.
"Okay, stop messing around, I have something to say."
An Muxi told a few people about her beauty store, and then said to Xiaoqin: "From now on, the sales of this store will depend on you. I will train you some sales skills and skin care techniques. How about we build the number one beauty store in the capital?"
Xiaoqin also likes to be lively. Recently, her master has been going out all day without taking her with him. Plus, there is nothing interesting to gossip about in the palace right now. She is bored and knows that she can go out and do something. She is so excited by An Muxi's trick.
"Master, don't worry! I will definitely work hard to do what you ask me to do. Help you build the best beauty store in the capital!"
The remaining two maids also nodded and promised. They were very excited. They didn't expect that they would be entrusted with important tasks by their master.
Banxia and Chenxiang have practiced martial arts with Qiushuang and Qiuyue for several months, so now they can defend themselves and fight off thugs. With them around, An Muxi is assured of their safety.
As for her, having Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue by her side is enough, and she doesn't really need any special personal service.
She specially took out the brocade she had obtained before and asked Madam Zhao to arrange for the people in the embroidery room to make a few skirts of the same style and color for Xiaoqin and others, with the words "Huanyan" embroidered on them as store uniforms.
From now on, these people will be the faces of the store, so of course they have to dress up well. She also took the time to teach them some makeup techniques. The little maids are all in their prime, and with a little dressing up, they can look no worse than some young ladies from official families.
After finishing these things, she asked Uncle Song to help her buy some high-quality medicinal materials for making cosmetics, and then asked Aunt Zhao to help her contact and purchase some dried pearl flowers and spices.
It has to be said that in this era, raw materials are all natural, and there is no technology or hard work at all. As long as the raw materials are of good quality, the products will be of high quality.
An Muxi spent several days researching in Furong Courtyard and finally made a whitening pearl cream, a scar removal cream, and a moisturizing and rejuvenating cream.
I used various dried flowers and spices to make several different colors of rouge, eyebrow powder, and several different colors of lipstick. Finally, after thinking about it, I made a moisturizing mask.
She tried it out on Xiaoqin and a few others first, and after feeling that the effect was good, she planned to start mass production.
There is a small room in the beauty store that was originally used for patients to see doctors, but it has been converted into a workshop where products can be made.
She taught the production method to Xiaoqin and others, and then began to buy a large amount of raw materials. Everything was in full swing and went smoothly.

At the foot of a snow-capped mountain in Western Xinjiang, Li Rui opened the secret letter sent by his subordinates. When he saw the content inside, the corners of his lips curled up. This little woman is really capable of making trouble and is indeed smart enough.
He actually solved the problem of Jishitang by himself and took the opportunity to acquire Jishitang at a low price. He really wanted to find Bingling Xuelian as soon as possible and go back to see her.
After putting away the secret letter, he looked up at the snow-capped mountain in front of him. A few days ago, they had prepared all kinds of dry food and cotton clothes, and found a guide to head towards the snow-capped mountain.
Unexpectedly, they ran for two days to reach the foot of the mountain despite the snow-capped mountain so close. The closer they got to the mountain, the colder it became. Fortunately, they had all put on thick cotton jackets.
But this would make movement somewhat inconvenient.
Thinking that he would soon find the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus and be able to detoxify, he was filled with energy again.
I asked my men to build a yurt here, which can accommodate 20 people to rest and cook. This was suggested by the local guide.
The group was divided into two groups to climb the snow mountain. Those who were injured went down the mountain to recuperate, and the yurts were used as rear supplies and rest areas.
Everyone carried some dried meat and dry food when going up the mountain, because the weather was cold and they had to replenish enough calories at all times to maintain their physical strength.
Finally, on the third day, when the guide led a few people to climb to the waist of the snowy mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, they saw a crystal snow lotus-like plant in a crack in the snow.
These people had seen the picture of the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus in advance, and they quickly confirmed that this was the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus. So they carefully dug out the roots of the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus, took out the white jade box, put it in it, and sent it down the mountain.
Li Rui did not go up the mountain today. When he saw the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus in the white jade box, Li Rui finally smiled. He did not expect that this time would be so smooth.
Not only did he successfully find the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus, he also picked some common snow lotus and exotic flowers and plants, planning to give them to Divine Doctor Gao when he got back.
A hundred taels of silver were given to everyone who came. The journey was bitter and cold, and it was indeed very hard. Everyone was very happy at the moment. Then the group set out on the return journey.
When they reached the small town they passed by when intercepting grain, a commander of the soldiers guarding the city hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, General Yin wants to see you."
This General Yin was once the deputy general of Marquis Anyang. Later, when Marquis Anyang died in battle, he took over the position of general of Marquis Anyang.
Li Rui learned martial arts in Anyang Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he was acquainted with General Yin.
This time he delivered the food he intercepted from Chief Yu to General Yin's military camp. General Yin knew that he did not leave immediately, and seemed to be going to do something, but he did not know the specific situation.
He just left his trusted followers to guard the only way back to the city every day. Today, he finally waited for Li Rui.
Although Li Rui missed home very much and wanted to go back early to see An Muxi, it was not easy for him to directly refuse General Yin, so he followed the guard to the general's mansion.
The conditions here are difficult, and a three-courtyard house like this is considered very good. The gatekeeper knew that King Rui had arrived, so he trotted in to report.
General Yin soon came out, but he was followed by a woman and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old in riding clothes.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
General Yin immediately knelt down and bowed as soon as they met. His wife and the young girl behind him also knelt down and bowed as well.
Li Ruixu helped him up and said, "General Yin, there's no need to be so polite. Get up quickly."
General Yin then stood up, and the people behind him also stood up.
"Your Highness, please come in. Madam, please ask the kitchen to prepare some more good wine and food."
After saying that, she welcomed Li Rui in, and the woman quickly responded and left.
At this time, the girl in red riding clothes quietly raised her head and looked at Li Rui. Her beautiful eyes moved and her heartbeat accelerated. His Royal Highness Prince Rui was more handsome and heroic than before. How could one not be moved?
