Chapter 276 Negotiating the Ointment

Drawing eyebrows, as the name suggests, means drawing eyebrows.

Sticking flower ornaments is when women stick decorative flower ornaments on their foreheads or cheeks.

The slanted red pattern is to draw two crescent-shaped lines at the corners of the eyes or temples.

However, Gu Qingqing had almost never seen it. Not seeing it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. After all, she had only been to the county once, and she didn’t even know where the state was.

These are decorations and naturally do not affect the scars on her face.

After listening to what Gu Qingqing said, Feng Zhijin seemed to respond without thinking, "Just do as Madam Wen said. Is your ointment really so effective?"

When water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it wanes. Gu Qingqing understood this principle. Even though she had seen Jiang Qingrou's recovery, she still kept some reservations in her answer.

"You can't restore it to its original state. Conservatively, it won't be a problem to restore it to 60-70%. If you're lucky, 80% is possible. By then, you can use some pearl powder or rouge made from red and blue flowers to cover it up. Most people shouldn't be able to see the difference. Even if there are marks, they will be much better than what you have now."

Feng Zhijin, who had been trying hard to stay calm, now heard that he could recover to 70% of his original state. The scenery in front of him instantly became misty.

At this moment, she could no longer control the upbringing that had been engraved in her soul for more than a decade. She excitedly stepped forward and pulled Gu Qingqing's arm, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I just ask you to prescribe medicine for me. I will never forget your kindness."

"Miss!" Amber next to her was also happy for the young lady, but she was not so able to restrain herself. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She seemed to realize how embarrassing it was for herself. She called out "Miss" and quickly turned her head to wipe her face with her sleeves.

Gu Qingqing chuckled at first, "Why do I need your kindness? I'm after money!"

But she couldn't say that.

On the surface, she patted the hand holding her arm in a serious manner, and said in a gentle voice, "This is easy to deal with. It's just that it takes a lot of time to make. I have to go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs. As for the price..."

Gu Qingqing took a deep breath as she spoke, staring at the master and servant without any concealment.

Feng Zhijin smiled slightly, "As long as the price is right, I will definitely buy it."

The little maid Amber also looked like a happy lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Gu Qingqing was happily troubled at this moment. She also wanted to just name a price, but she really couldn't figure out what the appropriate price was.

The only way she had last time was when she heard from Jiang Qingxue that Mr. Shen had someone bring back a box of medicine from the capital for twenty taels of silver.

She was a little annoyed. Why did she forget to ask that day? Did the twenty taels of silver she mentioned refer to the price of the ointment? Or did it include the cost of the ointment all the way from the capital to Taohua Town?

At this moment, Gu Qingqing was looking at this girl with extraordinary temperament and dressed in brocade, wondering how big the lion's mouth should be.

After Gu Qingqing made a comparison in her mind, she vaguely formed an idea. She smiled at the two of them in a friendly manner, and as she raised her hand, her index finger slowly stretched out, which was unique.

Feng Zhijin looked at Humber uncertainly. Humber looked at the young lady with a puzzled look, then looked at Gu Qingqing and asked in an uncertain voice, "One, one tael of silver?"

Gu Qingqing was not angry. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, and asked jokingly, "Look, you are not very firm in what you said, right?"

Amber blushed at what she said, and then asked very cautiously, "Ten taels?"

Gu Qingqing put away her fingers and glared at her, "Why didn't you guess it was one hundred taels?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Zhijin, who was smiling when Amber said "ten taels of silver", frowned slightly when she heard "one hundred taels".

Amber didn't have such good self-control. Her eyes suddenly widened and her voice became twice as loud as before, as if this was the only way to vent her shock. "What? One hundred taels?"

Gu Qingqing smiled triumphantly and waved her hand at the other person without caring, "I'm just kidding. How can I ask for a hundred taels? I guess similar ointments in the capital would only cost about twenty taels at most."

The little amber man held his chest firmly and asked in disbelief, "Then, then tell me, how much is your ointment worth?"

Until then, Gu Qingqing spoke again slowly, "One bottle is ten taels of silver. One bottle can only be used for about ten days, and three bottles are needed a month. This is the initial price, and it may be cheaper in the later stage. If you can accept the price, I will go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow, and you can come to get the medicine tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning. If you think the price is not appropriate..." Gu Qingqing shrugged her shoulders here, meaning that she believed the other party would understand.

Such a price was beyond Feng Zhijin's expectations. The initial one hundred taels was nothing to the Feng family, or to her sister in the capital.

But for her now, she still needs to cut back on her spending.

In addition, she and Amber both understood that one box would not last long. After all, she had used ointment when she was in the capital, and the cost was much higher than it is now.

She originally thought that the monthly expenditure would be two hundred taels of silver, but now it suddenly became thirty taels. What reason did she have to refuse it?

"Then let's talk to Madam Wen and we'll come to get the medicine tomorrow afternoon. I just don't know if you can only make a ten-day dose of this medicine at a time? Or can you make more for me to take back?" Feng Zhijin asked.

To promote a deal, Gu Qingqing smiled from the bottom of her heart, "You guys have to work hard in the first month. I will prepare a dose every ten days, and you can send someone to my house to get the medicine. However, you need to come in person once a month. I want to check on your condition."

"Okay. Thank you, Madam Wen." Feng Zhijin stood up and thanked Gu Qingqing, and at the same time turned to look at Amber.

Amber didn't even need Feng Zhijin to ask, she hurriedly took out two ingots of five taels of silver from her lapel and placed them on the table.

"This is the money we paid for the medicine. We will come to pick it up at this time tomorrow." Amber said.

Gu Qingqing didn't rush to get the money. Instead, she smiled brightly at the master and servant.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Miss Feng knows a lot of people. I would like to trouble Miss Feng for one thing. If you or someone you know has a similar situation to you, please help introduce them. I will definitely not treat Miss Feng unfairly."

"We recognize..."

"Amber!" Feng Zhijin suddenly interrupted Amber's words, because she suddenly remembered something Aunt Gui had told her, but this matter was not urgent at the moment, and she had to wait until she used this thing herself before making a decision.

"Of course. As long as Madam Wen's stuff is as effective as you said, I won't need to say anything more. There will definitely be people who need it and will come to me." Feng Zhijin didn't care at all about promoting her.

"Okay, let's wait for good news!"

"It's getting late, I won't disturb Madam Wen." Feng Zhijin said, put on her veil again, and left with Amber.

After Gu Qingqing sent them out, she went back into the house to put the silver away. Then she cried "Oh!" and hurried to the backyard.
