Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 26: Act with vigor and determination

Yuxi smiled and immediately told Luyun to buy some cloth and cotton.

Luyun didn't know what Yuxi was planning, so she asked.

Yuxi did not hide it from them. Anyway, they had to make the things they bought from her, and she had a grudge against needles and thread.

Yuxi told them about her plan to make soft pillows and hug pillows. The three of them found it novel and couldn't wait to see these items.

Cotton wool is quite expensive, and although Luyun can afford it now, she still feels bad about the money, so she suggests using goose feathers instead.

Yuxi thought it was feasible, so she nodded in agreement, but cotton wool was also a must.

The next morning, Luyun and Cuiping went out early with a hundred taels of silver in their pockets.

In less than two hours, the two returned, each carrying a large bag.

Yuxi was so excited that she immediately told the three to start working. Yuxi gave instructions from the side. The three of them were very skillful and they finished the pillow in half an hour. It was so soft that people couldn't put it down.

Yuxi was also very satisfied. Seeing that there was still some cloth and cotton wool left, she asked them to make one each.

The three of them were so happy that their eyes were curved with laughter. Cuizhu asked with a smile:

"Miss, are you planning to sell your silver?"

Yuxi shook her head. This soft pillow is easy to make. Women in ancient times all had skillful hands and could make it just by watching.

It doesn't make any money at all, the soft pillow is just a practice.

Another day, Yuxi paid her respects to the old lady. Zhuying was massaging her shoulders, and the old lady looked a little tired.

Yu Xi asked with concern, only to find out that the old lady had been sleeping restlessly recently. She always woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again after waking up.

The old lady patted Yuxi's hand and said softly:

"As you get older, you'll have more problems. It's no big deal."

"Long-term illness can lead to disease. Insomnia may seem like a minor problem, but if not handled properly it can lead to a lot of pain. It must be treated in time."

Yuxi sat in the old lady's room for a quarter of an hour, then went to pay her respects to Liu. Liu was still cold to her, but she didn't make things difficult for her.

After Yuxi returned to Xiyuan, she took out paper and ink and wrote down a few medicinal herbs.

Let Luyun and Cuiping go shopping for artemisia annua, white jasmine, patchouli, chrysanthemum, etc., and buy some cloth and cotton wool along the way.

This stumped Luyun and Cuiping.

They all came from poor families and could not read a single word. They were puzzled when they saw the note Yuxi handed over.

Yu Xi was speechless and had to ask the two of them to memorize the names of several herbs. They could learn by rote.

Yu Xi confirmed again and again that they had remembered it before letting them go.

Yuxi was under a lot of pressure during the college entrance examination and suffered from insomnia for a period of time.

She still remembers that her grandfather made her a medicated pillow and medicine bag. The medicated pillow can improve sleep, and the medicine bag can improve eyesight and clear the mind. She can't remember all the prescriptions and can only recite a few of them.

After Luyun and Cuiping came back, Yuxi asked them to take action immediately.

First, put the medicinal materials separately in a small bag, and then put them into a cotton bag to make it easier to take out and wash.

After everything was settled, when Yuxi took Luyun and carried the luggage to Songhe Hall, Liu's mother and daughter were all there.

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, then she walked past them and bowed to the old lady, and then bowed to Liu and her elder sister.

Lin Yuhe raised her head with a glint of pride in her eyes. A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear in the Kingdom of Da'an. A concubine's sister still has to show respect when she sees a legitimate sister.

No matter how she wins the old lady's favor, she is still one level lower than her.

It was Lin Yuhan who reacted first and gave Lin Yuxi a half-curt return.

Liu looked quite satisfied, thinking that she was going to get married soon and now she understood the rules.

Looking at the younger daughter again, she didn't show any intention of returning the gift.

The old lady was still watching. Liu felt embarrassed and shouted, "Yuhe."

Lin Yuhe secretly glanced at the old lady's slightly gloomy face, and then reluctantly returned the half-salute.

Then he glared at Lin Yuxi with disdain, thinking that it was really beneath his dignity to give a return gift to a concubine's daughter.

Yuxi didn't mind and said to the old lady:

"When I was paying my respects to my grandmother in the morning, I heard her complain about insomnia. After returning home, Yuxi flipped through some medical books and learned that this medicinal pillow can improve insomnia. So I made one based on the book. I also asked the doctor for the prescription and only dared to make it after confirming that it was feasible."

When Mother Wang heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled happily.

Regardless of whether it is effective or not, the old lady's love for her is not in vain just out of this thought.

The old lady was also moved and waved to Yuxi, who sat beside her as she said.

"You are the only one who is so thoughtful that you even thought of this method on purpose."

The old lady smiled at her with satisfaction, and Mother Wang looked at Yuxi with a little more respect.

Yuxi just smiled and shook her head, but Lin Yuhe couldn't help but said disapprovingly:

"Can a pillow really cure insomnia? How come we haven't heard of it before? Are you lying?"

Luyun couldn't help but curl her lips. Whether this can be cured or not, it's none of your business anyway since you don't have insomnia. Why do you have to make things difficult for the girl?

Besides, you haven't heard of it. That's because you are short-sighted, and you dare to bring it up.

"As I said just now, I followed the instructions in the medical book. I also checked the prescription with the doctor. I only gave it to grandma after it was confirmed. As for the effect, it varies from person to person. As long as you relax and have fewer distracting thoughts, and take the herbal treatment, you will definitely be able to improve your insomnia."

The first half was spoken to Lin Yuhe, but the second half was spoken to the old lady.

Knowing that the old lady had something on her mind, she couldn't interfere in the affairs of her elders, but she could still give her some advice.

The old lady was stunned, and seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in Yuxi's words.

But it was fleeting, frowning,

"Okay, Yuxi is filial, and it's enough to have this intention. Whether it is effective or not is another matter. I have a jasper bracelet in my dressing box and a piece of horn in my perfume box. Give them to the second young lady."

The old lady turned around and gave instructions to Mother Wang, and her eyes softened as she looked at Yuxi.

Yuxi quickly waved her hand to refuse:

"This medicine pillow didn't cost much money. It was given by Yuxi to honor her grandmother. I don't want any reward."

The old lady shook her head when she saw it, and said, "Silly child, people are so happy about these rewards, unlike you who is desperately shaking her head to refuse them."

She took the bracelet from Wang's mother and put it on Yuxi, saying with a smile:

"Grandmother has never rewarded you with anything, but you deserve this for your filial piety."

Yu Xi held up the black and hard horn like an ox's and pulled the corner of her lips.

The Lin family was in the perfume business, but she was an outsider who didn't understand perfume and rarely cared about it in the secular world, so naturally she didn't understand the value of this palm-sized piece of horn.

However, her ignorance did not mean that others did not know. Lin Yuhan and Lin Yuhe were both so angry that they were about to smoke.

It's just a medicine pillow, but it's not worth it for the old lady to give her the jade bracelet. The bracelet is nothing.

He also rewarded me with a large piece of agarwood, which was worth a thousand taels of silver.

She was so generous in giving them the reward. I never saw her give them anything at all. She is so biased.
