The next day, when it was dark, Daiyu woke up from a good night's sleep, listened to the crisp birdsong outside, and sat in the quilt to stretch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qingwen and Zijuan had just washed up, and when they saw Daiyu waking up, Zijuan hurriedly came over to put on clothes for Daiyu, and Qingwen went to the teapot on the table to pour a new cup of tea for Daiyu to rinse her mouth, and brought her a cup of warm water to drink.

After Daiyu finished washing up and had breakfast, someone went back and forth to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhen Shiyin's family.

Daiyu asked him to come in and reply, and the little guy said: "The little one went to the gourd temple to inquire first, and the house that was burned down there was rebuilt, but the residents are not those people anymore." The little one happened to find a person who had an old relationship with the Zhen family, and heard that this old man Zhen lost his daughter and burned down the house, so he had to sell his land and go to his father-in-law's house. The little one found there, and I heard that Master Zhen left home five or six years ago, leaving his wife and Mrs. Feng to live in his mother's house, and now he lives by doing needlework for others. ”

Daiyu said "hard work" and asked Zijuan to take a tael of silver and reward it.

The little servant thanked him and wanted to leave, and Daiyu said again: "Go and take Steward Wang to find this lady, and say that there is a lack of needle and thread in our house, and ask her if she would like to come over, and give more moonsilver." The little guy nodded and went out.

Seeing that there were still two or three days before the sacrifice, Daiyu decided to go and see the rouge workshop. As soon as Baoyu heard that he was going out, he naturally followed.

They took the girls to the rouge workshop, only to see a small two-entry yard, the front yard is the place to collect flowers, juice, rough processing, the back yard is to make the rouge into a piece and then cut into small squares, and finally box and package the place.

When Lin Daiyu came over, Wang Shun had already asked people to come over to inform the male workers to avoid it, so the female workers who stayed in the yard were some female workers.

Jia Baoyu saw this rouge shop, very interested, tried their tools for squeezing flower juice, and went to see the workshop inside, praised for a long time, and said to Daiyu: "They are not bad at this, in the end they don't have all our tools, and they don't have our fineness." ”

Zijuan, Qingwen, and Autumn Pattern pursed their lips and smiled.

Jia Baoyu was about to try to make rouge, but Daiyu hurriedly grabbed him: "Just take a look, if you do it again, you will get the color on your body when you turn around, and you have to let your uncle not want to see you." ”

Baoyu thought about Jia Zheng and found out the consequences of his rouge, so he couldn't help but quickly retract his hand and said to the female workers, "You guys are doing it to show me." ”

Knowing that it was the owner, the female workers hurriedly went to pound the flower juice, starched it with gauze, and then added rice water to remove the variegation.

Jia Baoyu pointed out beside him with great interest, either saying that "the scum is not clean", or that "the color is not pure".

When Daiyu saw this, she couldn't help but regret a little, if Jia Baoyu indulged in the fun of making rouge paste, Jia Zheng would definitely be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

She hurriedly said: "We've seen it here, let's go somewhere else!" ”

Baoyu was reluctant to go, and a female worker in charge said with a smile: "Although the son is young, he knows more about these than us, so we all thought that it would be enough to Taocheng two or three times, and after this guidance, it was really better than before." ”

Qingwen said with a smile: "You praise him like this, he is more and more reluctant to leave, how can there be a good young master who thinks about rouge paste all day long." ”

The lady in charge smiled and said, "It can be seen that you are a scholar of your family, and you know more about these crafts than us." ”

Baoyu sighed and said: "You have to have these flowers here, if there is a flower Zhuangzi, plant some extremely bright and red roses, and use the rouge made from those flowers to applaud." Seeing this, Daiyu could only hold her forehead and sigh.

Zijuan said with a smile: "Hua Zhuangzi is also available, I heard Wang Shun's housekeeper say that they have all been bought." ”

Baoyu was really even happier, and asked what kind of flowers were planted, and the housekeeper replied: "It's ordinary red and blue flowers, hollyhocks, and red camellias." ”

Baoyu said: "The red camellia is not enough, the red and blue flowers, hollyhocks can be slowly pulled, to choose the reddest and most colorful roses to plant ten acres, and then the hosta, magnolia, purple jasmine, begonia and other fragrant flowers are planted, and when the flowering season is picked, it is made into flower dew, added to the rouge, and more fragrant and moist than other people's homes." ”

Which of those female workers who do rouge is not from the girls who love to dress up, and these people are not as strict as the girls, and when they saw this handsome young man like a girl telling them this, the owner next to him was just a little girl, and they all put down their work and gathered around and asked in a chattering manner.

Baoyu didn't feel anything before, but when she saw that these aunts were all around, and they were not as well-behaved as the mother-in-law at home, her face suddenly turned red, her palms began to sweat, and she hurriedly turned her head to ask for help.

Qingwen was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing at Baoyu, Zijuan pushed her and said, "Anyway, that's your former master, why don't you help him?" ”

Qingwen smiled and pinched the handkerchief and said: "The former master is the former master, and he is still afraid that the Lou Zi he stabbed himself will not be fair?" And there's a ready-made person here! He said and pointed to Autumn Pattern.

Qiu Wen smiled: "Don't talk about this, it's for the sake of you to accompany him to make rouge cream, you should also say it." ”

Qingwen had nothing to say, so she had to step forward to rescue Baoyu and said, "Don't worry, big girls, just ask me if you want to ask!" ”

Those ladies saw that Qingwen was dressed very smartly and pleasing, and the makeup on her face was also delicate and bright, so they abandoned Baoyu and talked around Qingwen.

It was easy to get rid of those ladies and go back, Baoyu was sneering all the way, and it was not until the street that he eased up. Zijuan and Qiuwen made fun of Qingwen in the carriage: "Look at your big face today!" ”

Qingwen grinned and said, "That's!" There are also playful benefits, and it's really boring for you to be bored all day. ”

Qiu Wen smiled: "Look at her proud, be careful that you girls don't want her, send her to plant flowers and make rouge!" ”

Qingwen said with a smile: "Don't say it, if the girl really plans to open a rouge shop seriously, I will invite myself to be a housekeeper for her." There are many people who see it every day, and there is a lot of excitement, isn't it much better than being bored in the house for a lifetime and then being an old mother with fish eyes? ”

Zijuan and Qiuwen both laughed dumbly, and Qiuwen pulled the curtain and said to Baoyu sitting on the wheel: "Second master, listen, Qingwen wants to be a housekeeper for Miss Lin?" ”

Baoyu had already heard a few big girls laughing, so she said to Daiyu: "According to me, let's get the rouge shop seriously, it can be regarded as an entry, and it will be in vain for us to come out this time." ”

Daiyu held her forehead and sighed, regretting that she bought this rouge workshop on a whim, and now Baoyu is going to be a rouge maker seriously. But seeing that both he and Qingwen looked serious, they thought about it and nodded reluctantly.

Baoyu suddenly became happy, and said with a fluttering eyebrow that he wanted to use what flowers to make rouge, what kind of box to order, etc., and said that he wanted Qiuwen to take the one hundred taels of silver given by Mrs. Wang into shares, and he wanted to write a letter to the government to send a few hundred taels of silver.

Daiyu hurriedly stopped his series of behaviors, and said: "Now it's just such an idea, everyone knows about it, it's not good for you to mix it up with me, and our family doesn't expect to earn this silver to eat, it's better to play quietly, quietly and happily." ”

Baoyu calmed down a little at this time, and suddenly thought of something, and got together with Qingwen to discuss rouge.
