Chapter 15: Fifteen Beauties

In the past few days, the business in the silk shop is good. A few women also came to inquire about the balm given by Heluo today, and it seems that their free gift advertisement can be regarded as having some effect.

It's just that as soon as Heluo's carriage arrived in the house, Mama Zhou ushered in her, and whispered that Tinglan was waiting for her in the courtyard. When Heluo heard this, he couldn't take care of the tiredness on the road, and hurriedly rushed back.

He Luo went back to the yard and saw Tinglan, and he didn't say much, but said directly: "Anyway, what kind of moth did my good mother come up with?"

Tinglan hurriedly replied: "Miss Mingcha, it's the eldest son, and Mrs. asked Mama Hu to call the eldest prince back." ”

When Heluo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair. Mama Zhou said on the side: "Isn't the girl in a hurry, if the eldest prince comes back, the lord will definitely let the lady come out for the sake of the eldest son's face, and besides, the lord has finally paid some attention to the young lady these days."

When Heluo heard this, he just smiled faintly and asked, "Does Mama know why Daddy values me, and does Mama know what Daddy values most?"

Heluo asked Mama Zhou about this, and Mama Zhou just pondered. On the contrary, it was Tinglan next to him who was a little enlightened.

"Daddy values me, in addition to having a mother, it's nothing more than that I'm still useful, I'm an obedient and filial daughter, and when I go to the capital, Daddy can use me in many places. My brother is different, he is the eldest son of Pei Fu, and he is studious, and he will be the one who will inherit Pei Fu in the future. Daddy's most important thing is the Pei family, what he wants is the scenery of the Pei Mansion in the future, an eldest son and a concubine who is just a little useful, Mama, which one is the heaviest?" Heluo's tone at the beginning was just faint, slowly. There was a burst of fierce words in the back.

After that, his tone softened again, "Mama, don't let Heluo mention it again, there are some things that we can't touch now." I dealt with the eldest lady, firstly, I took a ride with Heying and the Du family's son, and secondly, my father was dissatisfied with my mother for a long time. In fact, I originally just wanted to leave some room for my family affairs in the future, and not let my mother interfere. What the rest should be or what it is, I never thought much about it. ”

After hearing this, Tinglan was convinced that she was really following the right person, and nodded again and again.

After a few more days, Heluo saw that there were more people who came to ask, so he opened a cabinet in the silk shop. The shopkeeper first said that it was difficult to explain because Heluo was the master. In the past few days, seeing that this face-wiping cream has also brought some business to the silk shop, and seeing that people are more popular, they are naturally happy. Only then did Heluo tell him that he had already greeted the house, so it was even more difficult for him to say anything.

Heluo put some on the shelf, the grease to wipe the face, the fragrance on the body, the hair oil on the head, and the powder on the face that he made a few days ago. All of them are porcelain vases and porcelain boxes that they have ordered in advance, and they are all painted with a beautiful woman's side face, sniffing a cluster of orchids, and the word "beauty" is written on the side. There is no excessive dyeing, and the furniture is black and white, which looks simple and clean.

Needless to say, those who have used it will come back and ask about its efficacy.

It's just that this fragrant milk and hair oil are a little different from the women used in this era, when the fragrant milk is made, combined with the experience of using body milk in the previous life, it is moisturizing but not greasy, coupled with the effect of space water, this fragrant milk absorption is naturally excellent. Besides, the oil, women in this era mostly like to comb their hair when they use it, not to mention the greasy hair, the heavy smell of hair oil is also unpleasant, plus it's summer, even if you don't mind, it's always uncomfortable to be tired, so I made two according to the recipe, one is used when shampooing, and the other is exempt from cleaning when sleeping, which is naturally better than hair oil.

The last thing left is the Fu powder used for the face, and the most primitive milling method used by Heluo is to use a round powder bowl to fill it with rice juice to precipitate it to make a white and greasy "powder", and then put it in the sun to expose to the sun, and the dried powder can be used to make up the face. It's just that some spices are added according to the recipe, and there is a certain proportion of lead powder, and the Fu powder produced in this way is not as harmful to the skin as pure lead powder, and it has the effect of being obedient to the skin.

Heluo put these things on the top of the cabinet, and naturally there were the most people who wanted to wipe their faces with the balm, and there were even some rich ladies who had not yet come out of the cabinet to ask for them after hearing about them. Naturally, some guests will also bring some milk and hair oil by the way because of Heluo's introduction, saying that they will buy it and try it. Of course, I will also bring some satin cloth along the way.

Business on this day was somewhat unexpectedly good. It's just that I've been doing these things for some time, and if I do them again, it's not enough to do them alone. Mama Zhou is old and not good at spices and the like, Ting Lan is a good helper, but she has a special identity, in order to prevent the eldest lady from paying attention to their relationship, it is not good to hide, let alone let her help.

It seems that the only way to buy a few clever girls is to go to the human market, and Heluo calculates what he has in his hand

silver, and asked Mama Zhou about the price, it should be enough to buy two or three maids.

On the second day, Heluo brought a yarn hat and asked Mama Zhou to go to the market early in the morning. It is said that the human market is not the slave market of the past, but the people in some houses who have been sent to buy and some people who have voluntarily sold themselves as slaves.

The carriage stopped next to a street, and Heluo got out of the car and was slowly walked into an alley with the help of Mama Zhou, only to see that there were several old courtyards in the alley. There was a lot of noise, and from time to time people came in and out of it. He Luo looked at it, this should be the place to buy slaves, so he picked a relatively large courtyard and walked in, and a man who looked like a steward greeted him.

"This girl has to choose some people, we have the most complete here, as long as you want, housekeepers, waiters, handymen, men and women, old and young, we have them here. The man made a series of introductions.

Heluo pondered for a while, and said to this person: "You can find me some women who know how to handle flowers and herbs, young and old, and I don't have any requirements for appearance, as long as people look clean." ”

When the steward heard this, he hurried in, and after a while he brought out some of the women. Hurriedly walked over and asked, "Look, these few can work, if not, I'll give you another batch." After the steward finished speaking, he stood aside, waiting for Heluo to choose.

Mama Zhou has been going up and down in her heart this morning, and finally couldn't hold it back at this time, and asked: "The girl wants to buy someone into the house?" There are many maids in this house, and it is not suitable for the girl to buy them back, and where are the people placed?"

Hearing this, Heluo replied: "Mama, don't worry, I am useful to these people, and the yard has been found outside, so don't worry." ”

When Mama Zhou heard this, she thought about continuing to ask, but she thought that now the girl herself is a paying attention, and she doesn't understand anything. I had to go back and ask again.

He Luo looked at the people and asked, "What do you know about flowers and herbs, what did you do before, and you replied to me one by one." ”

After listening, Heluo was very satisfied with three of them, two of them were women, who used to grow crops in their hometown, because of the local weather, they also planted some flowers and plants, but they escaped because of the disaster in their hometown, and their families were gone, and there was nothing involved. The remaining one is a girl about fifteen years old, her face is very ordinary, but I heard her say that her family used to run a pharmacy, and the shop at home was occupied, and her father and mother were killed, and she knew medicine and could handle medicinal materials, and the rest didn't want to say more when she saw her, so Heluo didn't ask more.

He Luo looked at these three people, not only satisfied that they understood this, but the most important thing is that these people have nothing to drag down, and it is convenient to handle them, and there will be no trouble in the future. So he talked with the steward about the price again, and finally twenty taels of silver were sold for three people.

After that, Heluo sent Mama Zhou to go back to the house first, and he took the three of them to the courtyard he had rented in advance on the outskirts of the city. Let them settle down first, and then ask their names separately, and call them Yueniang, Siniang and Rouge.

After that, he pointed to the prepared materials in a room, taught them how to deal with them, steamed the materials, etc., and finally found that these people were all good at work, and they were very quick to get started.

Heluo only taught them some basic processing, and the rest of the concoction was done by themselves, after all, the people who had just bought it back, even if they had a deed of sale in their hands, they would inevitably have some different intentions.

The two women and the girl were also a little uneasy when they first opened, and when they arrived at the place, they found that the food and accommodation were good, and they didn't need to be served, let alone worry about the host's beating and scolding. I only need to process some flowers and herbs, and I heard the girl say that she is making some grease that women like, and the sesame oil is even more assured, and the work is more hard.

Heluo saw that they could all get started, and he was not in a hurry to establish his authority, after all, the days were still long, so let them do it first and go back to the house first.

After a while, Heluo developed some rouge and eyebrows. Because the reputation of "beauty" has been beaten, although the price of these things is not low, it is not high. In addition, the effect is good, novel, and the upper face is natural. Because of the small production, there is a taste that is in short supply.

Heluo saved his mind to look at the shop, and on the other hand, he asked Rouge and others not to be uneven because of the large amount, and each material must be made in strict accordance with their own explanations, of course, the three of them should be. Fortunately, the flowers and plants in the space are growing fast, and the seeds of the things I want are available, and there is no shortage of materials. It's just that now because there is no way, I have to call a carriage to transport the materials and flowers every time, this method has no way to last long, and it is also suspicious. Once the demand increases, there is no way to hide it, and when the time comes, it is necessary to rent a few acres of land to plant some flowers and plants and use the crops in the space.
