People in the city are either working hard, planning, and looking forward to a better future, and some have already begun to prepare for the New Year. This year's Chinese New Year is different from previous years, this year many families have harvested crops, have food to eat at home, and earn some money from part-time work, so many people take advantage of the New Year's goods to buy some things to reward their family members who have worked hard for a year.
Therefore, the silk, drifting, soft cotton cloth, fireworks, and small jewelry produced by Qingchun City are very popular from Dachu and Yizhou Island.
The merchants were also happy, the people who bought things were also happy, and the officials inside the yamen were also happy.
But such a happy scene, the city lord Chen Wenhui didn't see it, she had already arrived at Xinguang City on Yizhou Island at this moment. Because the Bai family came from Dachu to accompany their children for the New Year. Of course, the main thing is to visit the beloved little granddaughter. In this way, Chen Wenlin of Tianshui City and Chen Wenhui of Qingchun City could only put down the affairs in their hands and rushed to Xinguang City to spend a reunion with their mother.
Today's Xinguang City is a prosperous scene, not only the city is beautiful, the population is large, a hundred miles away from Xinguang City, inland, but also three small cities, each city now has a population of 20,000 or 30,000.
Chen Wenhui was accompanying her mother Bai Shi to visit the store in Shin Kong City. I have to say that the shop pΓΉ in Shin Kong City is still very interesting to visit, especially Wan Meizhen took them to a shop pΓΉ opened by a Silla person, it is said that the owner is a nobleman who fled from Silla, and the family has an ancestral secret recipe for making rouge gouache, and the rouge gouache made is more delicate than other homes. Bai was interested. Buying a lot at once, Chen Wenhui asked, "Mother, can you use so much?" Besides, these cosmetics have a shelf life, and if they can't be used up, they will deteriorate if they are left for a long time. β
Bai continued to choose. While answering his daughter, he said, "Why do you say so many things every day that I can't understand?" What is Shelf Life? What is Cosmetics? I can probably get the idea. Maybe it's saying that this thing can't be left for a long time and will break, right? This one doesn't matter. I'm not alone. This time I'm out. Many ladies in the capital know that the queen has practiced it for me. When I go back, can I not bring them a gift? There are so many people, there are wives of several big families in the capital. And the relatives of our family, and those palace concubines in the palace? Don't say anything else. You see, doesn't the queen have to bring gifts? And your friend, Shi Guifei, who is now hot, and passing by Shanghai. Don't bring one for Princess Lichuan? And your eldest aunt, second aunt, and your cousin, the crown princess. And a couple of your aunts. That's a lot just that, right. And your aunt. And the ladies I befriended. It's just that your Aunt Hu doesn't use these rouge gouaches, but doesn't Mingzhu use them? β
Chen Wenhui held her forehead and said: "Oh, I have a headache when I hear it, and you can remember it." I'm impatient with these things. For example, last year's New Year's gift, I didn't remember it until you all brought me gifts. Today, I forgot about this matter again, but fortunately, Yujin has a heart, she was ready early in the morning, and she packed the bag early and gave gifts to relatives on Yizhou Island, Shanghai City, and Beijing. β
Bai looked at his daughter dotingly and said: "You, fortunately, the people around you are still capable, now you haven't left the cabinet, even if you are in charge of the city of Nanyang, people won't talk about you, and when you grow up in the future and become someone's daughter-in-law, can you still do this?" This etiquette, a little less, a little wrong is a big deal. I look at the jade brocade very well. Red carp, after going back, we gave the jade hairpin we brought from the capital to Yujin. β
The red carp hurriedly agreed. Yujin hurriedly came over to thank him.
Chen Wenhui looked at these rouge gouaches boredly, and Bai said: "You are twelve years old this year, it is time to dress up, how about buying you a set too?" β
Although he said that, Bai Shi looked at his daughter's white jade-like skin and delicate facial features, and felt that such a natural feeling was already very good, even if it was smeared with rouge gouache, maybe it would cover up her natural glory.
Chen Wenhui worked in a large company in her previous life, and for the sake of etiquette, she had to put on makeup every day, so she was a makeup master. What nude makeup, lip-biting makeup, smoky makeup, dinner party makeup, etc. can't bother her. However, this life is too small. At the age of twelve, at the level of a primary school student or a junior high school student in his previous life, where did he use makeup?
Chen Wenhui said: "I now take a medicated bath every day, so my skin is very good. The sun is so big in Luzon that people get dark there. My deputy city lord complains every day that his skin has turned dark and has spots. I had no choice but to give her the skincare products from our workshop and the prescription for the medicated bath. Now, her skin is much better. I don't think I need this rouge gouache. However, this Silla people can make these things, you see how delicate this powder is, there are so many colors in this color. I'd better have a copy. If there is a heavy event on any day, I also have to put on makeup for the sake of prudence, right? β
Bai Shi nodded, and also chose a set of light-colored rouge gouache for his daughter.
At this time, Wan Meizhen said: "I envy Wen Hui's skin, why is it so good." I also had good skin before. However, since giving birth, I have started to have some spots. What a headache. β
Bai Shi looked at his daughter-in-law's delicate face and said, "After its practical powder, I can't see it very much." It's all a problem that falls in the confinement. People say that the disease in confinement should be cured in confinement. Your baby needs to be well maintained, so that these spots will disappear. β
Wan Meizhen blushed and hurriedly agreed.
Chen Wenhui glanced at her sister-in-law's slightly bulging belly and said, "Sister-in-law's baby must be raised." However, with Zheng's mother here, even if her mother goes back to the capital, Zheng's mother can also take care of her sister-in-law. β
Bai Shi looked at his daughter-in-law's stomach and said with satisfaction: "I didn't expect you to get pregnant again so soon." However, just like Hui'er said, with Zheng's mother here, I am also relieved. Zheng's mother took good care of her. When I gave birth to a few of them, I was taken care of by Mother Zheng's side. You must listen to Mama Zheng, huh? β
Wan Meizhen hurriedly said: "Since Mother Zheng followed Wen Hui to my mansion, I have been much more light-conscious, I just manage the affairs of Xinguang City every day, and the affairs in the mansion are managed by Mother Zheng." Even the affairs of the little good spirit are also in charge of Mother Zheng. β
Bai Shi nodded and said, "It's still okay for Mother Zheng to take the child." Wen Hui was frail and sickly when she was a child, if she hadn't taken it carefully, I'm afraid it would have been bad a long time ago, where could she still be the city lord and the governor of Nanyang like now. It's really reassuring that the good spirit was handed over to Mother Zheng to take me. By the way, red carp, go back and reward Zheng's mother with the head and face of the red gold pine crane longevity character I brought from the capital, and say, she has worked hard with the good spirit girl, and I will reward it. β
The red carp hurriedly agreed.
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Mother, you have rewarded the people around us, do you also want to reward the people around the second brother?" It was also very hard for him to be alone in Tianshui City, thanks to the care of Linbo and his wife. And you gave him your companion Bai Rong and his wife, and the two of them are doing their best, and they are good inside and out. β
Bai Shi smiled and said: "Reward, of course you have to reward, red carp, give the two sets of the same red gold plum blossom head I brought from the capital to Linbo's daughter-in-law, as well as Bai Rong's daughter-in-law." and the two pieces of white jade I brought as a blessing jade pendant for Linbo and Bai Rong. β
The red carp hurriedly agreed.
Bai said: "Actually, when I came here this time, in addition to seeing you, there is one more thing, that is, your second brother's marriage. You see, I'm very relieved that your eldest brother is here. Your sister-in-law is so capable, I don't have to worry at all. Also, your sister-in-law helps your eldest brother manage this Xinguang City, how capable. If your second brother can find such a capable person, don't I have to worry about it? β
Chen Wenhui immediately became energetic and asked, "Mother, but do you have any good candidates?" β
Bai Shi did not answer, but asked Wan Meizhen: "Are we talking in this Silla shop, are we in the way?" β
Wan Meizhen said: "It doesn't matter, his small attic is above the store, which is dedicated to entertaining VIPs, that is, some women want to try on clothes here, and there are things to buy, sometimes, the women of rich families in the city will come here to drink tea and choose things at the same time, it is very quiet, and the walls are soundproof, just to facilitate these women to chat." β
Chen Wenhui was amazed: "This shopkeeper is very good at doing business, and he must be very profitable." This is a dedicated gossip room. β
Bai's strange words about Chen Wenhui are no longer strange.
Bai Shi was very satisfied and said: "I'm in the capital, and the matchmaker for your second brother has broken the threshold of our family." β
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Of course, this is true. My second brother is young and handsome, of noble birth, the nephew of the queen, and the son-in-law of the Xiao Chen family. is still a first-class member, and he is also wealthy, and he is already the lord of a city. What son of a family can have a family business in the city? Also, the most attractive thing is that we don't have concubines in our family. Girls in the capital, who doesn't like our family rules. β
Bai Shimei smiled and said, "You're smart." Knowing everything. That's probably why. The person who told Wen Lin about the matchmaker is called a lot. I picked and chose the ones that didn't see the right one. The girls of those families are good at housekeeping, but they are all too arrogant, and I don't like them. But what about the daughters of those who read? All of them pursue the idea that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and many of them don't even know a word. I plan to take a plate, and I won't touch it when I look at the account book. I was depressed when I saw it. β
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but laugh when she thought of those pretentious noble girls in the capital.
