Chapter 80: Expensive Rouge

Cai Wei took Fei'er and Zhaoqiu, returned to her Zhuangzi, and was warmly welcomed by Du Shi and Wen'er Wu'er, Dou Mama saw that Cai Wei's chest was a little bigger than before, and she was also very satisfied, Mrs. Zhang and the eldest daughter-in-law You Shi saw that Cai Wei was back, and hurriedly went to prepare dinner, ready to pick up the wind for Cai Wei.

After Cai Wei was taken back to the house by her mother, she found that ice was now used in the house, and she laughed jokingly.

"Mother, dad is really considerate to you!"

Du Shi said embarrassedly: "I just think it's a little hot, it's not a big deal, but your father is making a fuss, and he has to use Rausch's things, I don't know how much money it cost?" ā€

Cai Wei said with a smile: "Dad knows that he loves his mother, and his mother should be happy, why are you still complaining, is it difficult for your father to be a miser who is reluctant to spend a penny?" ā€

Du Shi sighed: "I also know that he is good for me and the children, but there are many children in the family, you and Fei'er are getting older day by day, and you are at the age of finding your mother-in-law's family, my mother hopes to save more dowry for you, and you can also have a stiffer waist when you go to your mother-in-law's house, and you will not be looked down upon; And your two brothers, one year older and two years younger, go to school in the future, grow up and marry a wife, where do you not need money? There is another one in the belly, I don't know if it is a man or a woman, and I will have to inject a lot of money to pass it in the future! Although our family is doing well now, who knows what the future holds? Therefore, I thought about saving more money when I have more money now, and keeping it for the future, but he doesn't know how to be thrifty, so he just squanders lavishly, how can I complain about him! ā€

It's normal for Niang to have these thoughts, if Cai Wei doesn't have a space artifact, or she doesn't have a golden finger, maybe she will live as frugally as her mother, but the problem is that she has a space artifact, and she also has a golden finger, and once the glass is developed by her, she believes that she is the richest man in the Great Jin Kingdom, so a few pieces of ice are really nothing in her eyes.

She glanced at her mother and said, "It's just a few pieces of ice, the upside down mother Lala said so much, do you remember what your daughter once said to you?" Someday, we will have more money than you can count! What's the point of using a few pieces of ice, in the future, we will have to build a big ice cellar! ā€

Cai Wei's words, of course, Du Shi remembered, at that time, she was recovering from a serious illness, and the family got ten taels of silver from selling wild boars, and she once said that in the future, there would be one hundred taels, one thousand taels, and ten thousand taels at home, and in the end, there was so much silver that she couldn't count it......

When Weier said this, her smile was indifferent, as if what she said was really like that, at that time, she didn't believe it, she just thought that her daughter was coaxing her, but her daughter proved to her with facts that what she said was done.

It only took half a year for the daughter to let the family from the hard days of not being able to open the pot, directly transitioning to the happy life of brocade clothes and jade food, calling slaves and maids, without her knowledge, her daughter privately bought a farm worth 10,000 taels, opened a well-known dim sum shop in the capital, and also bought a large village covering an area of hundreds of acres for them to live in, and even the family restaurant is also under the influence of her daughter, so that there is today's thriving ......

All of this is a vivid proof that Cai Wei has enough ability to fulfill the promise she made to her family.

"Eldest sister, what is the ice cellar?"

Wu'er snuggled in Cai Wei's arms, with a white and round face, like a curious baby.

Cai Wei kissed his fragrant little face and explained: "The ice cellar is the cellar where rich people store ice, which is much larger and deeper than the kind of cellar we saw in Mujia Village, which is used to store ice cubes in winter, and when it is hot in summer, take out the ice to relieve the heat, and you can also use those ice to make chilled watermelon or chilled plum juice!" ā€

"That's good!"

Wu'er opened his mouth wide, and his big dark eyes showed a wistful look, as if he saw a piece of cool, sweet watermelon, and bowls of cold, sour plum juice, he patted his fat little hand and said, "Eldest sister, let's go, let's go repair the ice cellar!" ā€

Cai Wei poked his forehead and said with a smile: "You snack goods, you can't stand it when you hear about chilled watermelon and chilled plum juice, Xiu Bingjiao is a big project, how can you say that you can repair it, besides, even if it is repaired, you have to wait for the house in the capital to be repaired in the future, why is there such a hurry?" ā€

"Does the eldest sister plan to buy a house in the capital in the future?"

Wen'er heard Cai Wei's words and asked.

Cai Wei nodded and said: "The family's business is in the city, you two will have to go to school in the city in the future, although Zhuangzi is good, but every day to delay so much time on the road, my sister always feels that it is not worth it, so I have been thinking about it, and when I have money in the future, it is good to buy a big house in the city!" ā€

When Du Shi heard this, she smiled bitterly, she didn't want to say anything more about this, she couldn't control her daughter's decision, and she didn't want to go around, since she said that she wanted to buy a house, she would definitely be able to buy a house, and since she said that she wanted to repair the ice cellar, she would definitely repair the ice cellar......

In the afternoon, Cai Wei went back to her room, and the first thing she did when she returned to her room was to call Qiuqiu and ask her about Fei'er.

Today's Fei'er's abnormal behavior makes Cai Wei very confused, she has always valued her family more than herself, so she cares about her sister's abnormal behavior.

Seeing Caiwei's inquiry, she unreservedly told Fei'er that day that Fei'er sneaked into the Anguo Mansion, was calculated by Du Yuheng, and was saved by Mo Ziqi from beginning to end, but she didn't know that there was a marriage proposal from the prince of Guangling, so she only said about Du Yuheng's matter.

Hearing that Fei'er was almost insulted, Cai Wei was so angry that her face turned blue, and she couldn't wait to kill the Anguo Mansion immediately and castrate the damn Du Yuheng.

She is extremely protective, but today Fei'er was just teased by Ji Gongzi, so she felt distressed, not to mention that Fei'er was almost defiled!

"Brother Parrot, go, help me check, where is Du Yuheng's beast now?"

Cai Wei froze her face and asked Zhao Qiu to retreat, and as soon as Zhao Qiu left, she called out Brother Parrot. Reasoning, it is more convenient to clean up these pickled things at night, but Caiwei can't wait now, and feels that it is a sin to let Du Yuheng live for one more minute.

Brother Parrot flew away, and Cai Wei quietly came to Fei'er's room, wanting to talk to Fei'er.

Although Fei'er has a gentle temperament, she is a person who admits death in her bones, and the things she recognizes will not change.

Now, she is in love, the object turned out to be Queen Mo's own nephew, Queen Mo has always been cold and arrogant, no one in her eyes, the Mo family is probably the same, although Cai Wei thinks that Fei'er is worthy of any man in the world, but the people of the Mo family will not think so, in order to avoid Fei'er being hurt in the future, she must remind her, lest she fall in!

When she entered the house, Fei'er was packing up her jewelry on the dressing table, Fei'er didn't have many jewelry, but all of them were fine, the last time the queen mother's Shangsi Festival banquet, Huo Yuan not only gave her a set of diamond jewelry when dancing, but also gave her a set of head and face ornaments that she usually wears, after returning from the palace, that set of jewelry was given to Fei'er, and the pink bead flower that Fei'er brought today was obtained by guessing Cao Jin's lantern in Lin'an Mansion, and she also gave it to her sister.

"Eldest sister!"

As soon as Fei'er saw Cai Wei, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her with a smile.

Cai Wei looked at the jewelry she had placed on the dressing table, and said with a smile: "Yo, look, our Fei'er has also become a little rich woman, just with these things, no matter which family she marries in the future, which family will look down on our Fei'er, and she will never dare to be angry with us." ā€

Fei'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said: "Look at what the eldest sister said, the eldest and the young are orderly, even if someone in our family wants to marry, it should be the eldest sister who marries first, these things, I just keep them temporarily, and when the eldest sister gets married, I will take out all these things and add makeup for the eldest sister!" ā€

Cai Wei smiled, and took out a gold-inlaid treasure flower crested hairpin from her arms as if she were juggling, and said, "Since these things are given to you, they are yours, and this, take them together!" ā€

Fei'er took the delicate crested hairpin and said, "The eldest sister just gave me a set of precious diamond heads, why did you give me this again, it's too much, let's keep this for my sister to wear by herself!" ā€

Cai Wei smiled: "Give it to you, you can take it, this is not worth much." ā€

Fei'er took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, and said: "The workmanship of this hairpin is fine, and the ruby on it is also very transparent. ā€

Cai Wei said: "This hairpin is second-hand, it was worn by a lady of Houmen, the lady was honest, and gave the lady a lot of dowry, but unfortunately, the lady's husband was a spoiled concubine and killed his wife, and took all the jewelry of the lady's head and face, and gave it to his concubine, and was given to his own wife by the concubine, and her mother felt that she was not worthy of wearing such a valuable object, so she hurried to the pawnshop, and I happened to see it, so she redeemed it and kept it for her sister to wear. ā€

When Fei'er heard this, the smile on her face froze a little, she took the crested hairpin, and sighed faintly: "Since ancient times, amorous women have been ruthless, and I pity that lady, who happily prepared so many dowries, but in the end ended up like this..." ā€

As he spoke, he put the hairpin on the side of the dressing table, and seemed to have lost interest in the delicate golden hairpin.

Cai Wei picked up the golden hairpin, played with it in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing pitiful, it's expected, I think she's the daughter of a rich businessman, just with a little money in this family, she actually wants to marry into the prince's family, although she got her wish, but is the prince's family so good?" The mother-in-law and the concubines looked down on her background, not to mention, and even the concubines didn't take her seriously, and over time, her husband naturally didn't like her, but it was a pity that the dowry that her father and mother worked so hard to save for her finally cheapened the maiden family of those concubines! ā€

After speaking, he laughed again: "It's cheap for you and me, such a good hairpin, only one hundred and eighty taels of silver, hehe..." ā€

Fei'er also smiled with her, but her smile was a little cracked, Cai Wei said a few more words to her, and went back to her room.

Fei'er is a smart person, and she will definitely be able to figure it out when she says this......

After returning to her room, Cai Wei entered the space and continued to study her glass firing method, in fact, the glass she burned now is also very good, and taking out a random piece is enough to shock the world.

However, she is a person who strives for perfection, and those glasses with a small number of bubbles in the middle always make her look upset, so she doesn't think she has succeeded if she doesn't solve the bubble problem!

These days, she has always been busy with her own work, and today Changmei is back, just right to take a hand and help her, so that one is responsible for lighting the fire, and the other is responsible for making the system, and it is much easier to cooperate!

Here, Caiwei's real yĆ n is in full swing, and over there, the news of Brother Parrot has come.

"Master, I've found Du Yuheng!"

"Where is he?" Cai Wei gritted her teeth.

"Oh, the lotus champs in the Anguo Mansion are accompanying the Anguo Mansion to meet the guests, and someone has come to the palace to ask the Du family to marry the daughter of the big house on behalf ......of Wuchang Hou."

Brother Parrot babbled about what he had seen, and was so shocked that Cai Wei's jaw almost dropped!

The Anguo Mansion has just finished the funeral, and she is still in the midst of filial piety, but Concubine Jin sent someone to propose marriage, and she can't help but take the Anguo Mansion too seriously!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Anguo Mansion was extremely awkward

Du Ruhai, Duke of Anguo, and Du Yongzhi, the eldest son, were greeting Li Hai, the great eunuch in the palace of Jin Guifei, with a reluctant smile, although they did not dare to face Jin Guifei's people coldly, but from the awkward behavior of the father and son, the meaning revealed in the words showed that the Du family was unwilling to marry this family business.

Jin Dapeng has been castrated, this is a well-known thing, although An Guogong has been marrying daughters everywhere to seek glory, but he has not been shameless to the point of openly marrying his daughter to a eunuch as a stepfamily, if Du Wanqiu marries Jin Dapeng, she will not be able to give birth to an heir, and she will not be able to help Anguo Mansion consolidate its position, not to mention, it will also attract the jokes of the magnates in Beijing, Anguo Mansion can't afford to lose this person!

Besides, although the elder brother does not have to serve three years of filial piety after his death, he has to mention this matter again after three months, and the Wuchang Houfu mentions this matter now, most likely because he despises the Anguo Mansion too much!

Li Hai, the great eunuch of the Jingong Palace, sat calmly on the chair next to An Guogong, cocked his orchid fingers, and slowly flicked the tea leaves floating on the water in the teacup, ignoring the bitter expressions of Du Ruhai's father and son.

"Hehe, the concubine Niangniang knows that it is not good to come to propose marriage just after something happened in the house, but the matter is from the rights and interests, Wuchang Hou is really not good these days, the wound is inflamed, the high fever does not go away, not to mention, yesterday there was a magic barrier, carrying a knife to kill, and the several aunts who were waiting around were cut, the concubine felt sorry for her brother, afraid that something would go wrong, so she wanted to wash him to marry his daughter-in-law, but I happened to hear that our Hou Ye had come to the house to ask for relatives, and also got the old country's grandfather to agree, so he sent the miscellaneous family to ask, If Grandpa Guo doesn't have any opinions, let's settle this matter! ā€

Du Yongzhi rubbed his hands, his face showed a little embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Gonggong Li, you see, Wuchang is waiting for him..." Already, that...... How else can you get married? ā€

"Ka!"

As soon as Du Yongzhi's words fell, Li Hai's face had changed color in vain, he put the cup on the case lightly, squinted and sneered: "Why, Lord Du looks down on the miscellaneous family?" Or did the young lady of the Anguo Mansion marry for this and that? ā€

"Uh, no, no, no, no...... My father-in-law misunderstood! ā€

Du Yongzhi saw that Li Hai's face changed, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and kept explaining: "What Xia Guan means is that the dog family has just died less than 100 days, if Xia Guan is in a hurry to marry his daughter, he will definitely suffer from people's disease, if Lord Yushi impeaches Xia Guan to the Holy Lord, Xia Guan is only afraid that he will not be able to eat and go around!" ā€

Li Haipi said with a smile: "Lord Du is afraid that His Majesty will be guilty, this is understandable, but I don't know if my lord has thought about it, if you offend Concubine Jingui, will you have to go around without eating?" ā€

As soon as Du Yongbang heard this, he was anxious, he didn't care if the daughter of the big house was married to a rootless person, he only cared if his own interests were harmed, seeing that Li Hai looked like he was about to get angry, he was so anxious that he was angry, coughing a few times regardless of it, and kept glancing at his father.

Du Ruhai sat on the chair, with stiff smile lines engraved on his face, but he was already bitter as if he had eaten coptis.

He really didn't want to do this family business, but Li Hai's words had clearly told them that if the Anguo Mansion should not do this family business, Concubine Jin would definitely blame her.

Concubine Jin is a woman who has been favored by the emperor all her life, and her means and scheming are very good, if the Anguo Mansion makes her unhappy, she is afraid that she will not be far from death, she only needs to blow the wind on the emperor's pillow, and the Anguo Mansion will be wiped out!

The family's expressions were all seen by Li Hai, he smiled sarcastically, flicked his sleeves, and said lazily: "It's not too early, the miscellaneous family has to go back to the palace to resume their lives, and when the miscellaneous family sees the concubine Niangniang, they will tell the concubine Niangniang that this family affair is not appropriate, and the young lady of the Anguo Mansion does not want to marry the disabled, hehe..." ā€

As he spoke, he stood up with his chin raised, trying to get out of here.

When Du Yongbang saw it, he couldn't care about his father and eldest brother anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of Li Hai, and said with a flattering smile: "Father-in-law, slow down, please sit down first, let's discuss it slowly!" ā€

Li Hai squinted at Du Ruhai and his son, and said with a smile: "Forget it, since Grandpa Guo and Master Du don't look down on our Wuchang Hou's court, what's the use of talking more, as the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, since the house is not happy, I better go back and return to the concubine Niangniang soon!" ā€

This sentence frightened Du Ruhai and his son, and they couldn't look down on the courtyard of Wuchang Houfu! How dare they look down on the courtyard of Wuchang Houfu, you must know that Concubine Jin is from Wuchang Houfu, even if they have ten heads, they don't dare to look down on the courtyard of Wuchang Houfu!

Du Ruhai saw that Li Hai was really annoyed, and he even said such a thing, and he was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything, and he arched his hand again and again: "Gong Li's words are serious, how dare you look down on Wuchang Houfu?" I'm sorry to wait, oh, if you want to ask your father-in-law to do it for you, go back and tell my mother, this family affair Anguo Mansion has agreed, when to marry, it's all up to my mother......"

When Li Hai heard this, he turned his anger into joy and said: "Oh, Grandpa Guo is really a transparent person, yes, let's go back and help the concubine Zhang Luo marry her brother and daughter-in-law, hehehe..." ā€

Du Ruhai and Du Yongzhi laughed together and sent Li Hai away.

As soon as Li Hai left on his front foot, the smiles on the faces of Du Ruhai and his son fell.

"Hey, it's really a rainy day!"

The father and son of the Du family sat down dejectedly, as if they had been beaten by frost. The family has just held a funeral, Du Yulang's family died tragically, the Wang family was paralyzed, the family has not come out of grief, and now it has been forcibly married by a notorious eunuch.

Cai Wei sneered when she heard Brother Parrot say this, they have been powerful for half their lives, it's time for them to taste what it's like to be bullied by others!

In the evening, Mu Zhongqing came back early and brought back a box of rouge from 'Mi Fang Zhai' to his birthday girl.

I remember that when the family was shopping for a dinner market in Yushu County last year, Mu Zhongqing bought a copycat version of 'Mi Fang Zhai' rouge for the three women in the family, Fei'er was still happy at the time, and secretly used it a few times later, but because the taste of rouge was too pungent, and the fat powder was not evenly ground, it was like a monkey's butt on her face.

This time, what Mu Zhongqing brought back to his daughter was an enamel silver filigree flat round box, which contained a pink paste of rouge and a vague fragrance, which smelled great, but if you didn't smell it carefully, you really couldn't smell it!

Fei'er held the box of rouge, looked at it and looked at it, smelled and smelled, the love was overflowing, Mu Zhongqing saw that her daughter liked it, and she was also very high-minded, so she smiled and said: "This is the most expensive rouge in Mifangzhai, called 'moisturizing cream', which is the most nourishing for the skin, I heard that even the ladies in the palace are using it!" ā€

Cai Wei took the box of rouge, looked at it, sniffed it again, and asked casually, "Dad, how much does this box of rouge sell?" ā€

Mu Zhongqing glanced at Du Shi worriedly, smiled, and didn't dare to say anything, lest his wife complain that he was spending money indiscriminately.

Only when he looked at his wife, he quickly made a gesture of fifty with his hand, trying in vain to hide from his wife.

Who knows, but he was betrayed by two unscrupulous daughters at the same time.

"Fifty taels?"

Cai Wei and Cai Fei shouted at the same time, both shocked, God, this is too expensive, fifty taels of rouge, this, this, it's more expensive than gold!

Mu Zhongqing was betrayed by his daughter, his body stiffened for a moment, he turned his head weakly, glanced at his wife, and explained in a low voice: "Meiniang, this is not an ordinary rouge, it is made of strange flowers and green vines that came from Quluo Kingdom, and the green vines only bloom once in three years, and each flower can only bloom three or four, like this box of rouge, it takes hundreds of flowers to steam out!" ā€
