Chapter 208: Something Women Will Care About
Mrs. Lin sat with her mother-in-law for a while, then walked out of Rongfu Hall and sat with several sisters-in-law. Old Man Lin only has four men and one girl, so Mrs. Lin is still concerned by Old Man Lin in the Lin family.
"I haven't seen my aunt and grandmother for a long time, but this complexion is getting better and better." Boss Lin Boxiang's wife Yang looked at Mrs. Lin's delicate skin with admiration, as if she was twenty-year-old, which really made her envious.
"That is, although our age is poor, you are really well maintained." The second lady, Wu, was the most approachable, sitting next to Mrs. Lin and carefully examining her face. He also touched it with his hand, "Yo, like those people in their twenties, I really envy me." ”
"Second sister-in-law, don't make fun of me." Mrs. Lin blushed a little when she was looked at by several sisters-in-law. "I just used a little method taught to me by a junior, although I can't get on the stage, my face is really much better."
Women, especially women in their thirties and forties, value their own color the most, if they are old and yellow, not only can they not attract their husbands, but they may also let other women take advantage of the situation, and a young and beautiful concubine in the courtyard of this lady is the evidence.
Everyone knows very well what Mrs. Lin looked like when she went back to her parents' house before, and she knew that her relationship with her husband was not very good, so she didn't have much energy, and her performance on her face was naturally not very good. But now she has a ruddy complexion and a very shiny complexion, as if she is more than ten years younger, and I heard that it is improved by some small methods, how can she not make these sisters-in-law excited?
"Auntie, don't sell it, and tell us what the bottom is?" The second lady Wu urged a little eagerly.
"Second sister-in-law. Don't worry, I'm telling you now, and you can't use it right away. Mrs. Lin comforted the Wu family, and then continued, "Actually, the method is very simple, in the summer, let's eat the leftover watermelon rind, leave the white part, rub it on the face, and wash it off in about a quarter of an hour." On weekdays, cut thin slices of cucumbers and apply them to the face. It's also a quarter of an hour. "Mrs. Lin taught her the method that Lin Zhu taught her. I told a few sisters-in-law that most of these are moisturizing and whitening methods, and they are very useful for maintenance.
However, after listening to this, the ladies all looked incredulous. "It's as simple as that?" Lin Shurui's wife, Zhao, asked with some suspicion. She wants to keep her skin young. Don't lose to the twenty-eight girl, I don't know how many expensive rouge gouaches are used. Compared with Mrs. Lin, it is simply far behind.
"Hmm. Nowadays I just use some facial fat, like rouge powder and the like. Those will dry out the skin on the face," Mrs. Lin said, touching her face, "As soon as the skin is dry, people are prone to look old, that's what the junior told me." Not only me, but even my family's Zhen'er's face seems to have changed. In my heart, let alone thank her more. ”
When Mrs. Lin talked about Dong Yuzhen, several people all believed it, Dong Yuzhen's previous appearance, they still remembered it vividly, and they all thought that with her appearance, it would be difficult to marry a good family in this life, but when I saw it in Rongfutang just now, I almost didn't recognize it.
"Such a good method, you have to tell us the original, otherwise the sisters-in-law will let you out of this door." Yang also made a joke. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was very cheerful.
"Okay, let Mother Zhao explain it carefully later, she was one of the first people to use these methods." Mrs. Lin not only agreed to the requests of several sisters-in-law very happily, but also sent the most powerful Mother Zhao.
Mother Zhao bowed to a few ladies before, "Say hello to the ladies, the slave maid is fortunate to have tried such a good method, and it is also a blessing for the slave and maid to be able to explain it to a few ladies." ”
Mother Zhao's humble attitude made them very satisfied, but because it was not the time for the cucumber and watermelon to come down, it had no practical effect just by talking with her mouth, so Mrs. Lin agreed with them that after a few days, Mother Zhao would come to help a few ladies try this method.
Although the effect of ordinary watermelon and cucumber is not as good as that of special watermelon and cucumber, the ancient people ate all natural green and pollution-free food, as long as they are used in the right way, they can also achieve the effect of whitening and moisturizing.
Dong Yuzhen also told a few cousins about the small methods of beauty, and everyone wanted to try it, but they also said that they would definitely try it if they had the opportunity in the future, so several young ladies of the Lin family let Dong Yuzhen go.
"Cousin Yuzhen, that little sister of yours knows a lot." Lin Qinglan looked at her with envy and said.
"Also, it's just that the identity is a little worse, otherwise I would have called her to personally do this method for our sisters, so that we can rest assured." Lin Qingxue said regretfully on the side.
As everyone knows, this sentence made Dong Yuzhen very unhappy, but she also knew that this was at her grandfather's house, and she didn't show it, but she said, "Cousins and cousins, I haven't been out for a short time, and my mother may have to find me back." She took her leave.
"Leave so soon." Although Lin Qinglan was reluctant, she listened to Lin Qingxue just now, and she also found that Dong Yuzhen had a moment of displeasure on her face, so it was inconvenient to stop her.
Among the ladies of the Lin family, only Lin Qinglan and Lin Qingxue are concubines, and a few are the concubines of each family, so they are not as high as Lin Qingxue, and they have asked Dong Yuzhen about Lin Zhu's situation to see if there is a chance to get a better beauty method from her.
However, Dong Yuzhen also told them that Lin Zhu was in the countryside and it was inconvenient to come, and if there was a new way, she would tell everyone, which appeased them.
And as soon as they heard that Lin Zhu was in the countryside, they had no interest in her, if they were in the capital, although their status was lower, they might still have some money, how could this person who lived in the countryside interact with them, this gap was too far. At first, I wanted to talk to Dong Yuzhen's concubines, but all of a sudden the light in my eyes was full of contempt, what good can a cousin who is good friends with a country girl have?
Dong Yuzhen ignored them anymore, said goodbye, and went to find Mrs. Lin. It happened that Dong Wenbo had also met several uncles, and they were also going this way, and the two ran into each other.
"Sister, why do you look unhappy?" Dong Wenbo asked with concern, "Are they laughing at you again?" ”
"Nope." Dong Yuzhen shook her head, "It's just that they seem to look down on Sister Xiaozhu, so I'm a little unhappy in my heart." She said with a low mood.
"Your little bamboo sister won't care about this, so why should you bother yourself." Dong Wenbo knocked on his sister's little head.
"That's right, Dong Yuyao used to taunt her in front of her, and she didn't care at the time." Dong Yuzhen remembered the scene of the first meeting with Lin Zhu, and laughed, "Sister Xiaozhu is not such a small person." ”
"It's not a matter of measurement, it's that Miss Xiaozhu doesn't care about these at all." Dong Wenbo shook his head, feeling helpless that his sister didn't know Lin Zhu so much, "Miss Xiaozhu is a person who does big things, how can she care about these little tricks between little women." ”
"Brother, you haven't seen Sister Xiaozhu again, how do you know what she thinks?" Dong Yuzhen didn't quite understand why her brother said with a positive look.
"If Miss Xiaozhu only cares about these identity things, will she get along with you so well? Don't forget, it's the one who is the most favored in our family. Dong Wenbo said softly.
"Also, only Sister Xiaozhu doesn't dislike me." Dong Yuzhen remembered that she was ignored by her father at home and pressed by Dong Yuyao, and her mood was even worse.
"Okay, don't think about what you have and don't have, let's go find my mother and go home." Dong Wenbo patted his sister's head comfortingly and took her to find Mrs. Lin.
Dong Wenbo had already received a positive answer from Lin Boxiang, and in a few days, he would let him go to the most famous academy in the capital, Qingshan Academy.
However, several young masters of the Lin family did not study there, because of the status of the old man Lin, all the children of the Lin family who were capable entered the Royal Academy, and those who were talented and learned entered the Qingshan Academy.
Dong Wenbo did not meet the previous conditions, so he could only enter Qingshan Academy. Castle Peak Academy is not bad, how many foreign students want to enter Castle Peak Academy, even if it is related, it is necessary to examine the knowledge of the students, and only qualified people can enter. Therefore, Uncle Lin just gave Dong Wenbo a chance to participate in the entrance examination of Qingshan Academy. This is already quite rare for him.
Mrs. Lin refused Mrs. Lin's invitation to stay at home when she first arrived in the capital for the reason that she still had something to do. So he went home with his two children.
On the way, Dong Wenbo told Mrs. Lin the good news, which also relieved Mrs. Lin, "You have to seize this opportunity, it may be difficult to enter Qingshan Academy." ”
"Yes, mother, my son will work hard." Dong Wenbo nodded. In fact, Dong Wenbo secretly spurred himself in his heart, as long as he could enter Qingshan Academy, he would be separated from his two younger brothers, and his father Dong Jisheng's partiality made him very sad, but he didn't say it, for fear of upsetting Mrs. Lin.
But he has his own thoughts, he knows very well the talents of his two younger brothers, although they are better than their classmates in his hometown academy, they are not as good as themselves, so they let Liu make some tricks behind his back, wanting him to invite Mr. Cheng. They certainly never imagined that they would have the opportunity to take the entrance examination for Castle Peak Academy.
If you can really get in, you will be separated from them. For Dong Wenbo, such a result is the best. Father won't have anything to say.
On the way, Dong Yuzhen also told Mrs. Lin about several young ladies of the Lin family who looked down on Lin Zhu, and complained to her mother with a small mouth.
"Mother, it's better not to tell them how to beautify." Dong Yuzhen's childish appearance made Mrs. Lin and Dong Wenbo laugh. (To be continued......)
