Use a round flour bowl to fill the rice juice to precipitate it to make a kind of white and greasy "powder", and then put it in the sun to the sun, and the dried powder is rice flour. The way to make zuò rice flour is simple and widely spread among the people, but it has poor viscosity and is easy to fall off. If it gets wet, it will clump together.

Lead powder is a new thing in this dynasty, its production process is much more complicated, but the texture is delicate, loose and even, the color is white, easy to preserve, and most importantly, it can significantly increase the skin color of white people, and it is the new favorite of the female relatives of the nobles and nobles.

But it's leadened! This is something that Natsuhime (aka Hanruo) knows better than anyone else. This kind of thing, if you apply it on your face for more than ten years, no matter how good your appearance is, it will be ruined. Therefore, the ancients lamented that the time is fleeting, in addition to the short life span of the ancients, this is also an important reason! Girls in modern society, because of the high level of social production, use better things, and many thirty-year-olds look no different from twenty-year-olds. This is a dream for the ancients!

The original heroine in Han Ruo's previous mission except for Zhaojun and Empress Lu, everyone else was famous. Zhaojun was a small palace maid in the Han Palace, and she had no money to buy expensive makeup powder, and after marrying the Xiongnu, her status was high, and it was difficult to get lead powder. Because of the hard life in the early days, Empress Lu has long lost her beauty.

In addition, Han Ruo's identity after crossing is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and she is naturally beautiful and does not need to be retouched too much. Most of them don't like to put a thick layer of makeup powder on their faces, and only use it on more solemn occasions. None of the heroines in those missions have experienced being disfigured by makeup.

If there is something that feels wrong after Han Ruo travels through the past, he immediately replaces it with fragrant corn flour. Fragrant corn flour is the same as rice flour in the same way, but it is sticky and not easy to fall off, and then add natural flavors, which is easy to use and healthy.

This time, because I didn't think this makeup powder was wrong, Hanruo (that is, Xia Ji) didn't care. Now that Jing Fu'er said this, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

It's also a shame that Xiao Liu'er is bold and greedy, otherwise the original owner would have been married for more than ten years, and his face would have been almost poisoned by lead powder.

Thinking of the destruction of Chen Guo in the previous life, the original owner was nearly forty years old and was still being chased, in addition to the proverb that "whoever gets this woman can prosper the world", but also because of her gorgeous appearance like peach blossoms. It was because of the loss of Xiao Liu'er that the original owner was able to maintain his appearance differently when women of the same age in their thirties were no longer there.

Fu'er didn't know about these situations, she just felt unworthy for her wife. Xiao Liu'er and Xiao Xu were picked up shortly after Mrs. got married, so in this way, Xiao Liu'er has to covet how much makeup powder Mrs. has! It's a gnashing of teeth just thinking about it. Fu'er indignantly checked Xia Ji's rouge, indigo, jade paste, etc. again. I felt that there was no problem, so I gave up.

Natsuhime looked at the red rouge and suddenly remembered that the earliest rouge seemed to be made of cinnabar.

"Fu'er, bring me a glass of water."

Fu'er obediently brought a glass of water, Xia Ji took off the magnolia hairpin on her head, gently picked a little rouge with its tail end and put it in the cup of water, stirring gently. The water quickly turned red, with only a few tiny particles floating in it.

Sure enough, it's cinnabar! If it's flower juice, there shouldn't be particles.

Fu'er saw Xia Ji frowning, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, but what's the problem?" This rouge was bought by Xiao Su, and I called her to ask. ”

Coincidentally, before Xia Ji could stop Fu'er, Fu'er was about to raise her feet and move out, when Xiao Su bumped into their eyes with a tea tray.

Since Xiao Liu'er left, Xiao Su has changed her previous lazy style, and has taken the initiative to find work to do every day, and has a good impression in front of Xia Ji.

From this point of view, Xiao Xu is much smarter than Xiao Liu'er. At least a little brainy. Sense that the wind direction is not right, immediately turn around, and will not go all the way to the dark.

"Xiao Su, what's the matter with the rouge you bought?" When Fu'er saw Xiao Su, she remembered Xiao Liu'er, who was inseparable from her on weekdays, and in her eyes, these two people were the same, so she unconsciously carried a little anger in her tone.

Xiao Su was about to put the tea tray in his hand on the desk, and when he heard this, he froze on the ground, and his body was still leaning forward. Could it be that the Rouge thing was discovered? No way! What to do? Xiao Fu's mind is spinning.

In front of the master, it is useless to refuse to admit it and make quibbles, because the master does not need any evidence or excuse to deal with his subordinates, and doing so will only make the other party hate him more. If you admit it, according to the soft-hearted character of the lady in the past, although she has changed a little now, she begs for it herself, maybe she can still open the net!

Thinking of this, Xiao Su decisively put the tea cup on the table in front of Xia Ji, knelt on the ground, hugged Xia Ji's leg and cried.

"Madam, Xiao Su is wrong, Xiao Su will not dare anymore. Ten years ago, you rescued Xiao Su from the side of the road and gave Xiao Su a bite to eat, Xiao Su was grateful, and swore to repay you as a cow and a horse. But...... But ......"

Xiao Fu sobbed and looked almost speechless with grief. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Xiao Su hasn't seen her parents since she was separated from her parents in the famine that year. Xiao Su wants to save some money and see if he can ask someone to find them. So I started the idea of Mrs. Rouge. Madam, Xiao Su has only changed three boxes of rouge. Xiao Su knew that he was wrong, although it was only because he missed his parents, but if he was wrong, he was wrong. Ask the lady to punish her! ”

Xiao Xu secretly raised his eyelids to look at Xia Ji as he spoke, and after saying this, he lay on the ground and "bang"

He kowtowed with a bang. It seems so religious.

The mother-in-law Xu who helped her resell rouge two months ago went back to her hometown to care for the elderly, and she was sure that her wife could only find out the situation for these two months, so she only admitted three boxes. Even the current box, she was afraid of the incident, so she secretly changed it back the day before yesterday! I didn't expect it to be discovered.

Xia Ji and Fu'er looked at Xiao Su's posture in amazement.

Fu'er originally had a prejudice against her, but after seeing her actions, her feelings for her turned into hatred for her, and her eyes couldn't help but be filled with sympathy. Although she did not do it right, it was also because of her filial piety to her parents! Fortunately, her crime is not strict.

Xia Ji hadn't noticed anything before, but now she knew that she had really done such a thing. However, the words "only three boxes of rouge were changed" and "saving money to find parents", just listen to it, it would be too stupid to believe it. Didn't you see that she still had the heart to peek at herself?

"Really? But Xiao Liu'er said, you resold all my previous rouge! The corners of Xia Ji's mouth were slightly raised, and the smile was so deep that people couldn't see the depth.

The expression on Xiao Su's face froze suddenly.

Fu'er's sympathetic expression was also replaced by anger.

"Madame, spare your life! Madame spare her life! Xiao Su hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed again. Unlike Fang Cai, his forehead was not swollen after more than a dozen kowtows before, but now his forehead is red and swollen after three or four kowtows.

"That's it!" Xia Ji shouted to Xiao Su with a word, and then turned to Fu'er and said, "Fu'er, you go out and guard the door." ”

"Yes!" Fu'er walked to the door without saying a word, and glared at Xiao Su fiercely before leaving. Swindler! Always thinking about deceiving others, huh!

Fu'er closed the door and obediently stood outside the house.

Natsuhime slowly paced around Xiao Su twice. Xiao Su lowered his head and lay quietly on the ground. Xia Ji didn't speak, and she didn't dare to say a word, although she was really panicked in her heart. For a while, the room could hear a needle dropping.

"Do you want to live a life of being a human being?" Xia Ji looked at Xiao Su for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Ma'am?" Xiao Su looked at Xia Ji suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"You just say 'I want to' or 'I don't want to'."

"Yes!" Xiao Su gritted her teeth and replied affirmatively.

"Good! I can help you. A smile tugged at the corner of Natsuji's lips.

Xiao Su was stunned. Shouldn't I be punished? Madame, which one is this singing? How can you still help yourself? Xiao Su's heart went up and down, and her awe of Xia Ji was even greater.

"Will you serve the king? Or are you willing to serve your father alone? Natsuki got straight to the point.

"Husband...... Madam...... I ......" Xiao Su was flustered in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer. If you say that the "king" will seem to be too utilitarian? But if there is a chance to serve the king, who wants to serve a courtier? Although Yixing's father is not bad to himself.

"Just be honest." Xia Ji's eyes are as clear as water, as if she can see through the deepest filth in people's hearts.

"The King. I prefer to serve the king! Under Xia Ji's forced gaze, Xiao Su finally said the answer. After saying this, she found herself in a cold sweat.

"Good! I can help you become one of the most favored women in King Chen's palace, but you have to promise me two conditions. Would you like to? Natsuki looked into Xiao Su's eyes.

"I do! As long as Madame can help me fulfill my wishes, I am willing to do whatever she wants me to do! Please help me, Madame! Xiao Su crouched at Natsuki's feet, grabbed her ankle and pleaded.

Anyway, having already talked about this Cheng dù, there is no need for Xiao Su to hide his thoughts. She just wants to be a superior person and live a prosperous life. That's her greatest wish! Who is this body for? What's wrong with giving someone who can give you the best life?

As for looking for parents or something, it's just an excuse to fool people when necessary. His parents were going to give him away for a bucket of rice, regardless of the fact that the man had beaten two wives to death. Now that I have finally escaped, why do I still want to go to them?

"Good! The first condition is that you have to get the king to promise to let Nan'er inherit his father's Sima position in advance. Ambition is not old, and Nan'er will definitely be able to shoulder this burden with the help of those old subordinates left by his father in the army. ”

"That's fine, I'll do my best to make it happen." This question was expected, so Xiao Su agreed without saying a word.

"The second thing is ......," Xia Ji whispered in Xiao Su's ear.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Su's eyes, and then he agreed: "As long as it is what Mrs. asks, Xiao Su has nothing to disagree." You can rest assured. If I can't do it, let me be a slave and maid back to Sima Mansion again! ”
