"Alain, you're exaggerating. ”

On the official road more than ten miles away from Zhanjiang Pass, hundreds of guards dressed up in the trilogy guarded several carriages.

Feng Yi's smiling voice floated out of the carriage, followed by a young man's clear and clean rebuttal, vaguely with a little shame. The person who refuted was not someone else, naturally it was Sun Lan, just listening to the young man's voice could make up for his jumping look.

"Rong Li, your face is as white as jade, why can't you get black, naturally you don't worry, where can you understand my sadness?"

Sun Lan pouted angrily while stirring the jade cup with a jade spoon, and from time to time she dug a few spoons from the dozen or so green sandalwood boxes arranged on the table and threw them into the jade cup to stir. After working for most of the day, I carefully applied the viscous finished product in the jade cup to my face.

When Feng Yi came in, what she saw was Sun Lan who was making a mask, and only two eyes and a mouth were exposed on her whole face, and the rest of her face was covered by a thick layer of pearl barley powder mask. Feng Yi looked at his posture, and he laughed a lot.

"You don't understand, this is a very popular whitening method in Maruzhou. Sun Lan took a small mirror and looked at it, it was not very comfortable to put heavy things on her face, and she spoke carefully, for fear that the mask would burst, "Many celebrities are very sought after, and the effect is good." Do you see if my grandfather is getting younger and younger? He said that he did it every three days, and he was a lot younger. ”

Sun Lan stayed in Zhanjiang Guan and became a husky, she had to get up and exercise for half an hour before dawn during the day, go to work after breakfast, and be busy until sunset before getting off work.

Every day is packed with schedules, where is the time to learn about the fashion in Marushu?

So, how did Sun Lan know that these beauty methods were popular in Maruzhou?

Mentioning this, Sun Lan felt that her three views had been reshaped, and her grandfather actually collected the usage of various pearl masks, what accessories each pearl mask is paired with, and the amount of accessories are recorded. If it weren't for this, Sun Lan wouldn't know that his grandfather was living so nourishingly, he only slept for more than three hours a day, and his grandfather was so idle that he was hot pot with rabbit meat, and he actually maintained his beauty!

Feng Yi almost didn't react when she heard it, Old Man Sun ...... Do a pre-bed mask for beauty and beauty?

In his mind, he described the scene of the old man carefully preparing the mask, applying the mask and reading a book, and he was so frightened that he was thrilled.

"This way...... I've never heard of ......."

Feng Yi knew that pearl powder was good for her face, but she hadn't heard that she could do it, stirring it into a sticky shape and applying it to her face...... It's weird and weird.

Sun Lan said, "It is said that it is fashionable in recent years, the southern Jun River channel specializes in river pearls, there is a pearl diver here, deeply feel the hard work of her parents and relatives, and occasionally get inspiration to learn to make artificial pearls." The river mussels were kept in captivity, and the pearls were made by artificial means, and they made a lot of money by relying on this, and the neighbors followed suit, which caused the price of nearby river beads to plummet, and the river beads could not be sold. At this time, there is another daughter, the ancestor is said to be a female official in the inner court of the previous dynasty, who has learned many means of beauty and beauty, and there are countless secret recipes, which require pearl powder into medicine......"

Most of the people near the Junhe River make a living from pearl diving, which is difficult and dangerous, and tragedies occur from time to time.

With the advent of troubled times, the lives of these pearl divers have also become sad, people can't even eat, where are they still in the mood to play with pearls. Despite this, the people of Junhe Road could not let go of the work of pearl diving, but had to collect more river pearls to make a living, which led to the increase in pearl production in the past few years, but the selling price of pearls has been falling, and pearl divers have suffered from it.

When Fengyi was still studying in the academy, the master once mentioned this.

Unexpectedly, the people over there actually learned how to artificially make pearls, which caused the river beads to be more flooded.

Fengyi said, "The scholars are so sought after pearl powder, and the price of pearls is ...... when they use this thing to nourish their faces."

Sun Lan smiled, "Naturally, it has risen, but it hasn't risen too much." This is also a good thing, the pearl divers in the previous Junhe River began to raise river pearls, causing the price of river pearls to plummet, and many pearl divers lost their money. Now with this way, some pearls in poor condition are sold in batches to fat powder merchants, milled into powder, and sold very well, and many people who are attached to this have a way to live. ”

Feng Yi listened, frowning slightly.

Sun Lan said again, "Grandpa told me, do you know who the big buyer of Hezhu is?"

Feng Yi asked, "Who is it?"

Sun Landao, "General Fu's family." ”

Feng Yi sighed in her heart and said in surprise, "General Fu is still on the front line, and he is a lonely widow, how can he get involved in these businesses?"

Although there are only a few words, Fengyi can also guess the huge benefits hidden behind this business.

The law did not explicitly prohibit officials from doing business, but it was indeed a contempt for the scholars to compete with the people for profit.

Sun Lan shook her head and said, "Grandpa's original words - that wolf cub is a good daughter-in-law, hum, the ancestral grave in the previous life is smoking." ”

Feng Yi understood.

"Hui Niangzi?"

"Yes, amazing girl, I really can't be underestimated. ”

With Jiang Pengji's encouragement, Huijun did not trap herself in the backyard, but thought about how to start a business and find a way out.

The spinning wheel with the help of hydraulic operation has already been completed, and it was put into trial operation two or three years ago, and the effect is naturally good, but because cotton has not yet formed mass production, the types of these spinning wheels are limited, and they are still a small fight, but it is enough for Huijun to open a fabric store.

She studied a lot of literature on cloth dyeing, printing and dyeing, as well as the content of various spices and rouge, and combined with the situation, she opened a comprehensive shop that sells rouge gouache and finished fabrics. In the face of Jiang Pengji and Fu Wang, the business of this store is good.

Of course, Huijun's ambition is not just to support her family, she has to make a lot of money.

She wants to make the store bigger, and the quality of service and goods is the top priority.

In the early days, she was in charge, and after the store was on the right track, she did not relax, and she checked every three or five times and strictly checked the gates.

There is a habit of pearl powder in the palace, and Hui Jun doesn't want to let go of this business opportunity, so she needs a stable and cheap supply of pearls.

By chance, I learned that the river beads of the Junhe River, which is rich in river beads, are flooded, and the prices are terrible and unsalable.

Hui Jun was very miserable in the first half of her life, but her luck was so good in the second half of her life that she sent someone to buy river pearls and bought many secret recipes from a pearl diver. Although this pearl diver said that the secret recipe was the secret recipe of the Xia Dynasty's court, Hui Jun didn't believe it, if there was such a secret recipe, it didn't make sense that the noblewomen in the scholar circle didn't know. The Xia Dynasty has indeed been destroyed for many years, but the inheritance of those scholars has not been broken......

What are the Scholars?

That's a small day of beauty, above the royal family, there is this kind of palace secret, can they not know?

It's not all because you can use the secret recipe of the Xia Dynasty court to prevaricate the past......
