The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the watermelons in Lin Zhufuzhuang are getting more and more ripe, and the shopkeeper Du of Muyue Commercial Bank has already sent people to Song County to prepare, just waiting for the first batch of watermelons to go on the market.

Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen have letters and correspondence almost every month, Dong Yuzhen has long wanted to play in Lin Zhu's courtyard, and finally it was hot, and Mrs. Lin also let her go to the countryside to escape the summer, so Dong Yuzhen took the maid and the maid to escort a group of six people to Lin Zhu's house. In fact, Mrs. Lin arranged a lot more people than this number, but Liu's had another moth, saying that Dong Yuyao was going to her grandfather's house to pay homage to her birthday, and the distance was much farther away to be accompanied by people to rest assured, who didn't know that Liu's maiden father only had a birthday in October, she was just stealing the limelight, so Mrs. Lin didn't care about her, so she sent so many people, all of whom she trusted, followed Dong Yuzhen to Lin Zhu's house. Lin Zhu arranged Dong Yuzhen in the back cover room, and there were also east and west wings there, which was just enough.

Lin Zhu's arrangement made the people who came with Dong Yuzhen very satisfied, including the maid of Mrs. Lin who Lin Zhu and Chang's mother knew, and everyone called her Mother Zhao. Mother Zhao is also Mrs. Lin's confidant, so she follows Dong Yuzhen, and Mrs. Lin is the most relieved. Mother Zhao and Mother Chang greeted each other, and Mother Chang told her all about Lin Zhu's arrangements. Both of them are capable people, and in a short time they are almost all cleaned up.

Dong Yuzhen came on the right day, the first batch of watermelons in Lin Zhu Fuzhuang was already ripe, and Chang Shi went to Fuzhuang to arrange for the people of Muyue Commercial Bank to pick and ship when he came back, and he happened to bring back ten watermelons, which was two hundred taels of silver. However, everyone tacitly did not say it, so Dong Yuzhen and his party did not know the price of this watermelon, but at this time, it was already a big deal to be able to eat watermelons, and only those rich and noble people in the county town could eat at home, Lin Zhu took out so much at once, not only Dong Yuzhen was surprised, but even Zhao's mother couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and she was a little confused about Lin Zhu's origin.

In order to welcome Dong Yuzhen, Lin Zhu specially made a watermelon chicken, as well as some seasonal vegetables and so on. Lin Zhu's vegetable garden has long been arranged next to the wolfberry garden. The growth is very good, the family can't finish eating, and several close families will come to pick some back, such as the village chief's house. There is also the Wang family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family was pregnant because she had just been found out. Aunt Guo was also overjoyed, she had long heard Aunt Li say that the dishes of the Lin Zhu family that Liu Qiucui ate when she was pregnant were not harmful. The health is also good, so Aunt Guo also asked Lin Zhu for some vegetables. Lin Zhu didn't expect her vegetables to work so well, since they were good for pregnant women, she naturally and generously let her pick them casually, anyway, the yield of vegetables grown from seeds moistened by the space was surprisingly high.

Dong Yuzhen didn't expect Lin Zhu's food to be so delicious, although it was not as delicate as at home, but the taste was surprisingly good, she ate too much unconsciously, and only realized that it was too supportive when she put down the dishes and chopsticks. "Sister Xiaozhu, your family's meal is so delicious." Now Dong Yuzhen's face is much better, the small acne is gone, but the skin is still a little rough, after all, this is not something that can be improved overnight, so now although she controls the amount of meat she eats, this is the first meal of Lin Zhu's house. "I've eaten a lot of meat, will I still have those bags on my face?" She was a little worried, it is the nature of every woman to love beauty, and now her face is finally better, her good sister can no longer laugh at her, what if she breaks the gong?

"Sister Jane, don't worry, it's okay, I didn't eat less vegetables just now, as long as the match is good, it won't matter. If you're afraid, let's go out into the garden later, and don't worry. At my house I promise that there will be no more small bags on your face, and I will make a good one in the evening to ensure that your face is tender, white and smooth. Lin Zhu used the family's special cucumber to make a mask for Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui, and the effect was great, and now the two of them are most enthusiastic about cucumbers, and they are also discussing planting some late cucumbers, and there will be cucumbers to make masks until October.

"Really? That's great. Dong Yuzhen is now extremely convinced of Lin Zhu, and the improvement on her face and body is too obvious.

In fact, the beauty effect of watermelon peel is also good, so Lin Zhu plans to do both, so the leftover watermelon peel is left, and the white part is cut into thin slices, and even the big and small women gather in one room, and everyone makes masks together.

At first, Mother Zhao and Dong Yuzhen's eldest girl Shui Tao were a little unhappy, and let their own young lady use people to eat the rest of the things on their faces, but they saw that Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui were already accustomed to it, and their own young lady agreed without saying anything, and it was difficult for the two of them to refute Dong Yuzhen's meaning. I had to do it together, and if there was a mistake, all three of them would be the same, and I would be less punished when I went back.

But what they didn't expect was that the effect was amazing. In fact, Lin Zhu understands the mystery, first of all, they don't often do all kinds of hydrating operations on their faces like modern women, and secondly, the rouge gouache at this time is also relatively dry, so their faces will be more or less dehydrated. After applying watermelon peel to the face, and then massaging the facial skin, it has the effect of soothing, calming and hydrating. In this way, Zhao's mother and several maids who came with her had no opinion on using watermelon peel for skin care.

"Sister Xiaozhu, do you see that my face is much more tender?" Lin Zhu makes watermelon masks and cucumber patches for Dong Yuzhen every day, her skin is really much better, her face is shiny, and her complexion is whiter, which is not that healthy white, not white with powder. In addition, she is here in Linzhu, and every day when the sun is not very big, she will go to the wolfberry garden to walk around, and she especially likes to play with Fu Douer. Not only is he in a good mood, but his body is also relaxed, so that the whole person has changed, the white and red skin on his face is radiant, although his body is very long, but he has lost some weight, and he looks more and more slender, Zhao's mother and other people in the county government are both shocked and happy to see it.

"Yes, Sister Jane's face is almost a peeled egg, so tender and smooth. Here, let me touch it. Lin Zhu teased her, and reached out to touch her face. Dong Yuzhen smiled and ran away, "Don't, your face is more tender than mine, touch yourself." Now Dong Yuzhen doesn't apply powder to her face, Lin Zhu thinks that she is still young, it is not appropriate to apply powder on her face, and most of the powder at this time contains more lead, which is very harmful to the skin, so she is advised to be more natural and only apply some skin care cream. In addition, Chang's mother also knows some ways to protect her face and body, so Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen have become watery and tender under the care of Chang's mother.

So Dong Yuzhen couldn't stop playing here in Lin Zhu, fortunately, Chang's mother would teach some rules every day, otherwise she would have been called back by Mrs. Lin a long time ago. Chang's mother also gave different guidance to Ruyu and Youqing at the request of Lin Zhu, although they couldn't see anything in a short time, but their families obviously felt the difference between their daughters, who knew the rules and kept the etiquette but not too much, and behaved very differently from other country girls. And Ruyu and the others also met the eldest lady of the Zhixian family, although they couldn't say it, it was also a great honor.

On this day, Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen and the friends of Linjia Village were sitting around the house learning embroidery with Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui. There are also Zhao's mother and Mu Tao waiting on the side. The room was very lively, either this embroidered a wrong stitch, or the one who was accidentally pricked, as well as the voices of Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui's guidance from time to time.

Everyone did it for a long time, Lin Zhu saw that the time was almost over, so he asked Zhao's mother to bring a plate of cut watermelon, and put it on the table under the grape rack outside, in fact, it can no longer be called a grape rack, because the grape basket was not found, so Lin Zhu was planted with honeysuckle, and now it is very dense, and the flowers of the two colors are very fragrant, and it is very pleasant to sit below in summer.

So everyone tasted watermelon, chatted and laughed, and a group of little girls chattered.

Since Lin Zi'an was caught last time, he was resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any more bad moves in Linjia Village, he knew that if he made some damage to Lin Zhu, it would be light to be driven out of the village. So he went to the county seat to find Zhou Dalang and became his attendant. Zhou Dalang looked at the face of his former brother and asked Lin Zi'an to do some small things, but he could make more money than he could make in the field, so Lin Zi'an's mother-in-law trembled again in the village, and saw that Lin Zi'an had a career in the county town and made a lot of money.

When the news reached Lin Zhu's ears, she suddenly became alert, it seemed that the person Chang Shi saw in the county was indeed Lin Zi'an, but Lin Zi'an's mother-in-law refused to say what Lin Zi'an was doing in the county, and Lin Zhu's family had been calm, so slowly Lin Zhu stopped asking about Lin Zi'an's news.

After Lin Zi'an stayed in the county for a period of time, he also won Zhou Dalang's trust, so Lin Zi'an gradually let Zhou Dalang know about Lin Zhu's affairs bit by bit, plus Zhou's humiliation in front of Lin Zhu's door a year ago, Zhou Dalang also had the idea of finding trouble with Lin Zhu. It's just that I haven't been able to find the right time.

On this day, Lin Zi'an came to Zhou Dalang's residence in the county town with wine, "Brother Zhou, I heard that you are resting today, and my brother specially bought your favorite drunken immortal wine in the Temple of Earth, how about we have a drink?" Zhou Dalang is also a good drinker, where is there any reluctance after listening, "Okay, I'll let your sister-in-law fry a few dishes, and our brothers won't get drunk today." ”
