Qingshuang smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's not those things that we have always used in our house, haven't you seen that Madame's skin is also so white and delicate?" ”

Wen Hui thought about it, her mother was a mother-in-law, and her skin was still supple, so she asked: "Before, I knew that my mother had a set of secret recipes for her maids to make zuò and maintain them, which were specially placed in exquisite white porcelain boxes. It's just that I was young at that time, and I didn't think about maintenance, because I didn't care, now, I often have acne on my face, and the sun here on Yizhou Island is too big, I am tanned, is there any way for me? ”

Qingshuang looked at Wen Hui's skin seriously and said, "Our lady uses a kind of powder honey secretly made in the house, and long-term use will make the skin white and delicate." But there is also a kind of powder honey specially for girls to treat acne, I can make it, use the two together, and I can probably see the effect quickly. ”

Wen Hui liked it very much, and Wan Meizhen also asked: "I'm also tanned, can Sister Qingshuang make me a set too, I also have acne." ”

Qingshuang smiled and said, "There is no problem with this, I will definitely take care of the skin of the girl and the eldest and young grandmother." ”

Wen Hui had a flash of inspiration in her mind and said, "Our family's recipe is so good, how did it come about?" ”

Qingshuang said: "This was brought from the capital, and it was originally a formula born from the Chen Mansion, after all, a big family like ours has many such formulas for skin maintenance, and some of them are passed down from the palace. Our wife is very clever, and she has summarized and studied these formulas, and finally made the formula like this, which is the most effective. Although the big families in the capital have their own unique formulas, but the effect is not very good, at that time, the lady made these small things by herself, made a delicate package, and gave them to those ladies. Girls, therefore, Madame's popularity is good, and it has a certain relationship with this. ”

Wen Hui seemed to be able to see her mother. As a concubine, and later became a concubine's daughter-in-law, she struggled to survive among a group of noble ladies and tried to live a good life. I can't help but feel a little wet in my eyes, I really miss my mother.

Qingshuang looked at Wen Hui and said with a smile: "Does the girl miss Madame?" You can write to ask your wife to come here to play, the climate here is warm, how nice. ”

Wen Hui's spirit was shocked, by the way, her parents were busy all day and hadn't come out to play for a long time. Forget about my father, as a member of the imperial court, I can't leave my post without permission, but my mother can, it seems that I can plan to pick up my mother to come over for a visit.

Wen Hui temporarily suppressed the thoughts in her heart and said, "Sister Qingshuang." I have an idea, can we take these skin care things of ours, make them in batches, and then put them in our shop to sell, you know, since ancient times, women's money is the best to sell. ”

Qingshuang's eyes lit up and said, "That's a good way." It can be combined with our fragrances in a collection. However, the materials we use for this thing are very valuable, and the method of making zuò is also very complicated, what should we do? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If we want to do it, we have to make high-end things, low-grade and mid-grade rouge gouache, all over the street. Moreover, those low-grade and mid-range rouge gouaches are all controlled by those few companies, and if we go to grab other people's jobs, people will be unhappy. It's like you said, the ladies of those big families. The girls use very little rouge gouache from these rotten streets, and most of them make their own zuò, so the high-end things we launch will not affect their business. ”

Qingshuang thought about it and said, "Well, I'll try to do it." When I'm done, I'll ask the girl to invest in the workshop, right? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to open the perfume workshop first." Here on Yizhou Island, I plan to build a big workshop facing the South Seas, and the perfumes for export in the future will be made here, so you have to open a big workshop, where the four flowers are constantly blooming, and there are many fragrant flowers that we do not have in the Central Plains, and there are a lot of wasteland that can be planted, so, Sister Qingshuang, get ready to do a big job. ”

Qingshuang nodded heavily.

Wan Meizhen looked at these two super ambitious people, laughed and said, "Hui'er, you have found a long-term job for Sister Qingshuang, won't it delay Sister Qingshuang's lifelong event?" ”

As soon as Wan Meizhen said this, Chen Wenhui remembered that among the big girls brought by her mother from the capital, only Sister Qingshuang was left unmarried. It's already twenty years old. In this place where early marriage is common, it is an older leftover woman. At this time, you can still find your in-law's house, if it is a few years later, it will be basically difficult to find a suitable one, unless it is to fill the house, and the Bai family, who has always loved his maid, must not want to see such a thing happen.

I have to think about finding a mother-in-law for Sister Qingshuang here, by the way, why did you forget it, there are a large number of excellent leftover men on this Yizhou Island, and the disciples of the Hei family generally marry late, so many choices will definitely find a good one for Sister Qingshuang.

Thinking of this, Wen Hui said to Wan Meizhen: "Sister-in-law, the Alun I introduced to Chunguang, did Chunguang take a fancy to it?" ”

Wan Meizhen immediately smiled and said, "When we returned to Xinguang City, Chunhong and the others talked to Chunguang about Chunshui, and Chunguang immediately decided to learn arithmetic, so that I could take care of my shop and business in the future." As you learned, you came back and introduced her to Aaron. If you want to talk about this Aaron, I also look very satisfied, and it is very compatible with our spring. They are all round faces, they all like to study, this is really a talented woman, I have specially created an opportunity for them to meet in the past two days, it seems that Chunguang is very satisfied with Alun, and Alun also admires Chunguang very much. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said: "I want to keep Alun in Xinguang City, so, you let Chunguang come on, you must stay with Alun, I will wait to drink the wedding wine." You see, there are so many excellent disciples of this black family, let's also find one for Sister Qingshuang, okay? However, I have to say it in advance, Sister Qingshuang can't enter the Hei family, we have to kidnap an excellent disciple of the Hei family. ”

Qingshuang's face was already red, and she made an excuse to say that she wanted to tidy up her things, so she ran out. Wen Hui laughed, Wan Meizhen said: "Hui'er, where is there a little girl like you, and you still work as a matchmaker for others, really, I don't even know how to say that you are good." ”

Wen Hui stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm only like this in my own home, and I always remember to maintain decency and never reveal my true face outside." ”

Wan Meizhen couldn't cry or laugh, Wen Hui asked: "By the way, sister-in-law, you have returned to Shinguang City for so long, have you released any news about the purchase of a large number of Japanese people, Silla people, and Goguryeo people?" ”

Wan Meizhen said: "Of course it was released, and the first thing I did when I came back was to do this. Then I also gave all the more than 1,000 Japanese people we had in our hands to the people of the Hei family, in exchange for more disciples of the Hei family to build Xinguang City for us. ”

Wen Hui asked, "How can there be more than 1,000 people?" Didn't there be only a few hundred when I left? We can't give it all away, we have to keep some of it ourselves, otherwise, who will plant so much of our land? Who will build our Xinguang City? ”

Wan Meizhen said: "When you left, there were only a few hundred people, but this period of time, almost two months, there are new people sent over from the Wa Kingdom. The sugar we brought from Yizhou Island was very popular in the Wa country, so in exchange for a lot of Wa people, among them, several families fought wars, and the victorious family bought us a lot of things, and because there was no money to pay the bill for the war, they used these Wa people to pay off their debts, so there were four or five thousand people in this alone. It is equivalent to a boatload of things that we pulled over, and exchanged it for a boatload of widows, and some silver to find. In this way, I left more than 3,000 people, half of them were left to work in Xinguang City, and half were sent to our various farms, and there were disciples of the Hei family to help us manage them, and they would open up wasteland and plant things there. The remaining more than 1,000 people were given to the black family. ”

Wen Hui nodded and said, "Captives are a good source, we have to find more captives in the future, and it is best to fight every day in the Wa Kingdom, so that we can have enough manpower to use." Just leave this to the eldest brother, the eldest brother is the best at this. Hey, speaking of which, I miss my second brother, I don't know how he is doing in the clan land? ”

As he was talking, the curtain of the door was opened all of a sudden, and the eldest brother Chen Wenjun came in and said, "Do you miss your second brother?" It just so happened that your second brother sent a letter. Chen Wenhui was very happy and hurriedly opened it.

After she finished reading, Chen Wenjun said: "This winter is very cold in the north, and your second brother has a lot of chilblains. Do you have any good chilblain plaster for him? ”

When Chen Wenhui heard her eldest brother say this, she suddenly felt distressed and said, "How can you get chilblains?" When he left, we brought him a lot of new padded jackets, can't we? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Of course, those new cotton jackets are warm, but you don't know the cold in the Northeast, and it is not something that a few cotton jackets can stop." At that time, I also had a lot of chilblains in the Northeast, which was very uncomfortable, and it was okay to be cold all the time, but if it warmed up, it was terrible, it hurt and itched, and it was very unbearable. ”

Chen Wenhui was even more distressed when she heard this.

Chen Wenjun continued: "We're okay, we have a cotton jacket to wear at home, where do ordinary people have this, now cotton is only available in our Jiangnan, and we haven't seen it in the Northeast, they wear clothes like arrowroot cloth, silk and satin, where is the cotton jacket warm, but those who grow in the clan land are already cold-tolerant, not afraid of the cold, unlike us from the warm place in the past, really suffered a little." I hope that our father's cotton cultivation will be expanded a little more, so that we can buy some cotton jackets for the warriors in our land, and it will not be so cold. ”

Chen Wenjun was talking narratingly, and Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered one thing, which was also the clothes he was wearing, which was very warm, warmer than a padded jacket, that is, a down jacket.
