Xiaojuan agreed, ready to find the maid here to borrow a knife to peel the fruit. However, there was no need for her to take the initiative to find someone, the two maids of the Xiao Mansion who stayed in the house to serve moved at the same time and stepped forward to serve. One of them wrung a wet cloth towel for Qingshu to wipe his hands; One of them quickly peeled an apple, cut it into small pieces, and brought it to the plate.

Qing Shu thanked the two maids who were waiting, and instructed Xiaojuan to bring the apple to Yu Xiaoli and Yu Ya. After that, she took the paring knife from the maid's hand, and refused the maid's help, taking an apple and peeling it herself. With a serious demeanor, she quickly peeled the apple, and with two fingers picked up the peel that had never been broken, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, she looked at Zheng Furong with a smile on her lips, her pink lips opened slightly, and she asked softly and slowly, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

Zheng Furong saw Qing Shu smiling at her, she wanted to smile back, but she didn't want Qing Shu to ask this question. She was obviously stunned for a moment, but after being stunned, she was annoyed, "You ......" Who will eat apple peels? She felt that she had been insulted by Qing Shu.

Qing Shu's smile was full of sincerity, "This is a beauty product!" Ordinary people I wouldn't sue her. ”

Xiao Huan and Xiao Juan listened, and their jaws almost fell to the ground in shock. The young lady eats apples on weekdays, either without peeling and cutting the skin, or peeling the skin and eating the flesh, and never eats the peeled off the skin like this. Also, the young lady only said that apple peel is also nutritious, but never said that apple peel is a beauty product.

Zheng Furong was stunned, and all the ladies present were stunned. Is apple peel a beauty product? How did they not know?

Qing Shu playfully blinked her beautiful apricot eyes, "Shh, this is the secret weapon of the lady in Beijing to maintain her beauty, and she won't sue sù people." ”

Yu Yun was excited, and Huo Di stood up. She took a deep breath and asked loudly, "The noblewoman in Beijing uses it to maintain her beauty?" She was in a hurry to make sure, forgetting that she was a qualified lady with elegant manners and a soft-spoken voice.

However, this is the voice of the ladies present. Everyone wanted to confirm it again, so everyone didn't pay attention to Yu Yun's gaffe.

Qing Shu was not in a hurry to answer, but looked in the direction of Zhu Qianying. Seeing Zhu Qianying looking at her with a puzzled expression, she blinked her eyes playfully twice.

Zhu Qianying was stunned.

Qing Shu retracted his gaze, put the peel lifted by his two fingers into the fruit bowl in his hand, and said with a smile, "It is not only a holy product for beauty, but also a good cure for the disease of broken mouth." ”

Burst...... Zhu Qianying just took a sip of tea into her mouth, but she sprayed it because of Qing Shu's sentence "A good cure for the disease of broken mouth". She sensed her faux pas, but she didn't have time to remedy it. It's just because she can't control herself, and she's busy coughing! Her maid was in a hurry, and she stepped forward to pat her back and hand over the handkerchief, so she was not busy.

The people on Zheng Furong's side all stiffened, and their faces were ugly.

The two maids waiting on the side of the Xiao Mansion couldn't lower their heads any lower.

Xiao Huan and Xiao Juan also lowered their heads, their shoulders trembled, and they almost suffered internal injuries with laughter. They thought that the young lady was really smart, and she didn't use dirty words when she scolded people.

And that's not all. Qing Shu didn't seem to hurt people's consciousness, and said with a sincere face, "If anyone suffers from a broken mouth and is embarrassed to admit it, it doesn't matter, you can eat it quietly behind someone's back when you go back." It can not only cure diseases, but also nourish the skin, killing two birds with one stone! Then he turned a blind eye to the ugly faces of Zheng Furong and the others, nodded, bowed his head happily, and concentrated on processing the peeled whole apple in his hand. A rabbit-shaped flesh came out, and she glanced at it with satisfaction, "Sister Zhu, this rabbit is for you to eat." ”

Zhu Qianying just stopped coughing. She looked in the direction of Qing Shu in surprise, and then unconsciously thanked her, "Thank you!" Well, I won't eat it, Miss Gu will use it slowly. ”

Qingshu, who was in a good mood, didn't let the maid interfere, walked over and gave Zhu Qianying the rabbit-shaped flesh, and said with a smile, "This can only be used to improve the skin, but it has no effect on curing the disease of broken mouth." ”

Zhu Qianying doesn't smile much on weekdays, but she couldn't help it at this time, she hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand, stretched out the rabbit-shaped flesh handed by Qing Shu with the other, and thanked her with a smile.

Qing Shu said that he was not polite, and cut three rabbit shapes on the spot, and gave them to the other three young ladies who were sitting with Zhu Qianying. The remaining flesh in her hand was not very good-looking, but she didn't care, she took a bite directly, and then said with a look of enjoyment, "Insist on eating an apple every day, the skin will be smooth and tender, if you don't believe it, you can go back and try it." With that, she was going back to her seat.

The other three young ladies beside Zhu Qianying warmly kept Qing Shu and pestered Qing Shu to chat.

Zheng Furong knew that she was the first to lose, but she didn't want to admit her mistake and didn't want to bow her head to Qingshu. But she couldn't stay still, and always felt that everyone was laughing at her, so she threw her sleeves and walked away with a blank face. Those who sat with her wanted to stay, but Xiao Zhi hadn't come back yet, and they were not close to Zhu Qianying's side, so they sat for a while and then left stupidly.

Yu Yun walked to Yu Xiaoli and Yu Ya awkwardly, didn't dare to look at her sister-in-law Yu Xiaoli's face, and sat down quietly with her head down.

They are all girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen or seventeen, who have basically never left the county and have never seen the outside world. In comparison, not to mention the knowledge of modern times, that is, to and from the capital, Qingshu's vision is wider than these young ladies. Qing Shu casually talked about what he saw and heard on the road or the things in the capital, and he captured the hearts of Zhu Qianying and others, and became a popular figure in the shortest time.

When Xiao Zhi came back, she saw Zhu Qianying and the others surrounding Qingshu, getting along harmoniously and lively. The maids were also attracted by the excitement here, and gathered to listen attentively to Qingshu's talk about what they had seen outside.

Zheng Furong and the others left, and Xiao Zhi knew. Because Zheng Furong and the others asked the maid to pass the word to her. Xiao Zhi saw that Qingshu was so popular and the atmosphere in the room was good, so she joined in happily without knowing the inside story before.

It wasn't until lunchtime that the crowd dispersed. Xiao Zhi stayed for dinner, but Zhu Qianying and others politely refused, saying that they would come back in the afternoon and leave with them.

The maid came over and invited the three aunts and nephews to the dining room.

Qingshu, who stayed behind, asked Xiao Zhi to wait, and then asked Xiaojuan to go back to the room and get a jewelry box. She handed the jewelry box to Xiao Zhi with her own hands, "I don't know if you like it or not, but you can choose it according to your own heart." A little heart, take it! Then he sent his blessings, "I wish you and your husband a long old age, and a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

The carved simple and delicate jewelry box, the unique and elegant "Treasure Pavilion" three words in the upper left corner of the word "Beijing" are rubbed with the word "Beijing". At first glance, it is not ordinary. This is the most beautiful jewelry box Xiao Zhi has seen in more than ten years. She couldn't blush at Qingshu's words of blessing, held the delicate box in her hand, and said in surprise, "This, this is ......" It's just that at this time, she thought that there was only one jewelry inside, and she never imagined that it would be a set of jewelry such as hairpins, hairpins, headbands, earrings, bracelets, etc.

Qing Shu smiled, "Put it away, and open it again when you come back." I'm hungry now, take me to dinner. ”

Xiao Zhi came back to her senses, and it was rude to make the guests hungry. She instructed the maid to send the jewelry box to Mrs. Xiao, and she hurriedly took Qingshu to the dining room for lunch. All the things that add makeup have to be seen and recorded by the mother, so she will let people send them to the mother without looking at it.

After lunch, Qingshu went back to the room to rest.

Xiao Zhi didn't have time to rest, and was immediately called over by Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao's eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law are all there, and the eldest daughter who has married is also holding her young son in her arms, and Xiao Lan is also there.

When Xiao Zhi saw this battle, she couldn't help but be shocked, and stood in the middle of the ground and shouted one by one.

Mrs. Xiao beckoned her daughter to come closer, and pointed to the jewelry box on the table, "This is Miss Gu's makeup for you?" ”

Xiao Zhi was puzzled, but she also replied obediently, "Yes, mother." ”

Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter, "Do you know what jewelry is in it?" ”

Xiao Zhi shook her head, "Mother, my daughter doesn't know." She explained the situation when Qing Shu was sent out.

Mrs. Xiao straightened up and looked at her daughter-in-law and daughter present, "Miss Gu's thoughts, you all have to remember." With that, he opened the jewelry box and picked up the brocade cloth that covered the top layer.

A set of silver jewelry such as hairpins, hairpins, headbands, earrings, and bracelets caught the eye, which shocked the eldest young lady, the second young lady, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Lan. Miss Xiao, who was holding the child in her arms, was also surprised.

Xiao Zhi herself was the most surprised, "Mother, this, this...... Miss Gu...... The daughter thought that there was only one jewelry in it, but she took it with peace of mind. ”

Mrs. Xiao looked at the expressions of her daughter-in-law and daughters one by one, and said, "This is the jewelry of the most famous Treasure Pavilion in the capital. Look at the ornamentation of this box. Picking up one of the pairs of silver hairpins, he pointed to a point under the delicate hairpin, "Look at the secret mark here, you can't be wrong." Zhi'er, this set of silver jewelry is very valuable, more valuable than the gold jewelry in your dowry. When you come to your husband's house, you must keep it and never give it to anyone else. The implication is that this whole set of jewelry is for the daughter to take to her husband's house.

Xiao Zhi should be, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, this is too precious, shouldn't my daughter accept it?" ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Silly Zhi'er, Miss Gu was just afraid that you would shirk it, so she found such an opportunity to send it out." When Miss Gu gets married, you can show the same mind. ”

Xiao Lan suddenly stepped forward and pointed to a pair of butterfly beads on her head, "Mother, isn't this also very valuable?" Sister Shu gave it to her daughter yesterday. ”

Only then did Mrs. Xiao notice the beaded flowers on her youngest daughter's head, "What? This is what Miss Gu gave you? My mother thought it was sent by your aunt, but she didn't pay attention. As he spoke, he took off the bead flower on his daughter's head and looked at it, "Miss Gu has a heart, this is also the jewelry of the Treasure Pavilion." Although it is a small thing, it also looks chic and delicate. Not to mention the county seat, Jinyang City may not be able to buy it. ”

When the young lady heard this, she hurriedly said to the maid behind her, "Go, go and get the longevity lock around Che'er's neck." The maid took the order and left, and she explained to Mrs. Xiao, "Mother, my daughter-in-law mentioned to you last night that Miss Gu put a longevity lock around Che'er's neck. The daughter-in-law didn't think much about it at the time, and she didn't take a closer look, but she didn't dare to treat it as an ordinary long-life lock at this time. At that time, she saw that the longevity lock was a silver one, and she thought that the silver longevity lock in the county jewelry store was the largest and best six or seven taels of silver, so she received it with peace of mind.

After a while, the maid took the longevity lock. Mrs. Xiao took a closer look and announced that it was also played in the Treasure Pavilion, and the style was more exquisite than that of the shops in the county.

The second young lady sighed, "Miss Gu really has a heart. People in the capital still think about us, and they prepared gifts with their hearts. Mother, I have a fine brocade there, which my father and brother brought back from the south, and it was delivered to my daughter-in-law a few days ago. I'll send it to you later. It was a bright blue fine material, and Miss Gu must have liked it. ”

Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "I have a heart." However, there is no shortage of good fabrics in the house, you keep it for yourself, and the mother will arrange the return gift. "It's really Qingshu's makeup is too generous, and no one in his relatives has Qingshu's generosity. Therefore, Mrs. Xiao will think about returning the gift. Otherwise, there is no rule that others will return the gift immediately when they add makeup.

Let's talk about Zhu Qianying. When she returned home, she immediately went to look for her father, but she couldn't find anyone anywhere. At this time, the subordinate reported that the master had not returned home after going out in the morning. She was in a hurry, so she ordered her subordinates, and her father reported to her as soon as he returned.

Zhu Zhiheng happened to pass by and knocked his sister on the head, "What's the urgency like this?" Didn't you go to your aunt's house to accompany Cousin Zhi? Before leaving, he said that he would come back in the evening, but it was only noon, why did he come back? ”

Zhu Qianying said indifferently, "Second brother, don't knock on your head anymore, what should I do if I knock stupidly?" ”

Zhu Zhiheng laughed. When he had laughed enough, he said, "The second brother is measured, how can he knock his sister stupidly!" Say, what are you doing in such a hurry to find your father? ”

"Hmph, I won't sue you." Zhu Qianying turned around and left.
