Chapter 715: Lessons from Experience
Su Niang's words are also from the bottom of her heart, although she has been very familiar with the mansion for a while, and she has begun to slowly adapt to the life in the capital, but in this big mansion, Su Niang always feels a sense of awkwardness.
The reason is simple, Mo Lingshuang and Western Regions Shuangzhu needless to say, they are all big beauties, and the skin is fine and tender, the skin is delicate and powdery, although Su Niang's skin is much more delicate than in Liujia Village, and it is also much fairer, but compared to those girls, there is naturally a gap, this woman's nature. Aimei, seeing a girl who is more beautiful than herself, her heart is always a little uncomfortable, and when she sees those few in the house, although she is the identity of the housemother, she always feels a little ashamed of herself.
In her heart, she really wished she was as smart as those girls, but she forgot that she was strong and plump, with healthy skin and another charm.
At this time, seeing that Mrs. Xue was nearly forty years old, but she was so well maintained, but her heart was also ready to move, thinking that she was more than ten years younger than Mrs. Xue, if she could also maintain it according to Mrs. Xue's method, she might not lose to several other women.
Mrs. Xue observed the words, but also saw that Su Niang was moved, and she blurted out Su Niang's question, and said with a smile: "There are many ways to maintain this, in addition to paying attention to rest, don't stay up late, everyone's maintenance methods are also different." If the house is solid, the best way is, of course, to soak pearl powder and drink it. ”
"Pearl powder?"
Mrs. Xue nodded and took a string of pearl necklaces from her body, "It's this kind of pearl, grind it into powder, and then soak it in warm water to drink, take it for a long time, it can naturally delay aging, and this skin will also be supple." ”
Su Niang saw that this string of pearls was crystal clear, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and she was a little surprised, "This thing can also be drunk?" ”
"Naturally." Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Actually, this method is the simplest, unlike some people, it requires all kinds of medicinal materials to grind and suffer, and it takes a lot of effort, and as the saying goes, it is a medicine that is poisonous, no matter what kind of herbs are used to take it, it will always be bad for the body." ”
Su Niang asked, "Then how much silver does this string of pearls cost?" ”
"It's the best pearl." Mrs. Xue explained: "It's only a few hundred taels of silver...... ”
Su Niang was stunned, she knew that pearls were very valuable, but this small pearl necklace would cost hundreds of taels of silver, but it still surprised her, she used to use it, it was a few dollars to settle accounts, and then Chu Huan came back, although the family was very wealthy, and even dozens of hundreds of taels of silver were always indispensable in his hands, but he was used to living a poor life, and even spending a few taels of silver could also make Su Niang's heart hurt.
"And how long can you take this string of pearls?" Su Niang stammered and asked.
Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "At first, you should take a little less, and you can add some later." After a pause, he estimated it, and said, "Once in the morning and once in the evening, it should be able to last for a month!" ”
Su Niang couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.
Just for maintenance, drinking pearl powder costs hundreds of taels of silver a month, and that year is not thousands of taels of silver, which can buy several houses.
Su Niang was a little incredulous.
Mrs. Xue had already put the string of pearls in Su Niang's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, you take this first, and you can try it yourself when you go back and see if it can be done." When the time comes, the finer the better, take it once in the morning and once in the evening, but this method is not effective in a short time, and it must be adhered to for a long time. ”
Su Niang thought of spending thousands of taels of silver on this every year, and she was already dead, shook her head and smiled: "This ......! It's hard to say that I can't help it, so I can only say: "Then there is no other way?" ”
Mrs. Xue thought for a while and said, "There are many methods, but when it comes to your sake, this method is the most useful." Many folk methods are not as good as this, and the ladies in the palace naturally have better secret recipes, but we can't enjoy them. He smiled: "There is a Qiqingtang in the capital, where there is a special maintenance place, if you like it, I will take you there to take a look, I am afraid that you can find what you want." ”
Su Niang hesitated, Mrs. Xue patted Su Niang's hand lightly, and said softly: "Sister, don't blame you for saying something, this man is born to like the new and hate the old, when we were young, they were like flowers and jade, and they were naturally happy, but as long as they were older and old, they had no mind." Leaned in and whispered: "You are now a young couple, some things don't feel yet, I am from the past, you said that although Lord Chu is young, he is now a high-ranking official of the empire, and he is used by the imperial court, if you don't put more effort into it, you may not be able to ...... one day Hey, girl, don't blame me for talking ......! ”
Su Niang hurriedly said: "Erlang is not that kind of person, he ......!" When I thought of the "Peach Blossom Tribulation" that I had said, I didn't know if the Peach Blossom Tribulation had been broken, and when Mrs. Xue said these words, my heart was really worried.
Madam Xue smiled: "Of course Lord Chu is not that kind of person. After a pause, he said softly: "Sister, Lord Chu is now in the limelight, and we have very few Great Qin knights, but Lord Chu is young, and now he is an earl......!" ”
"Count?" Su Niang blinked, a little puzzled, "What is the earl?" ”
Mrs. Xue is not surprised, she knew from the first glance that Su Niang's background must not be very high, she didn't understand the title of the imperial court, and she was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The earl is the title of the imperial court, it is the highest honor, and not every official can get the title." Our Great Qin has very few knights, and Lord Chu was made an earl at a young age, which has never happened before my Great Qin. This title was given by the saint himself, which shows that the saint has great trust and love for Lord Chu, and the future of Lord Chu will be immeasurable! ”
Su Niang seems to understand whether she understands or not, he knows that Chu Huan is an official in Beijing, but how big an official he is, she really doesn't know, at this time, seeing Mrs. Xue's words even have a hint of respect, she is also a smart woman after all, and she faintly feels that her husband is really extraordinary, and she is a little apprehensive, the higher Chu Huan's official position, the more awe she will be.
"You said Lord Chu's current status, I can't tell how many people will come to make friends in the future." Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "It's common for officials to walk around and give some gifts, but if an official sends a woman one day, will the sister's heart be comfortable?" ”
Su Niangqi said: "There are still people who send ...... Send a woman over? ”
"Absolutely." Mrs. Xue said: "And what is sent will definitely be a big beauty." Lord Chu may not take it to heart, but if you think about it, Lord Chu is young and handsome, and he is a high-ranking official, even if Lord Chu has no mind, it is difficult to guarantee that other women will not have no mind? Sister, you said that a large group of women surrounded Lord Chu all day long, and Lord Chu could really hold it? ”
The more Su Niang listened, the more panicked she became, although she also knew that it was the most common thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she was born in the countryside, but there were few men in the countryside who married a few wives, and when she thought that Chu Huan might have several more women, and even snub herself because of this, her heart began to get anxious, her thoughts were the most simple, since Chu Li was in charge and promised her to Chu Huan, she wanted to be able to sing with Chu Huan's husband and live a peaceful life, but at this moment, Mrs. Xue said something, but her heart felt that it was not unreasonable, The heart can't help but give birth to a sense of crisis.
Suddenly, I thought of Mo Lingshuang and Shuangzhu of the Western Regions, not to mention other women, these three women, if they have a good impression of Chu Huan, then they are their fierce rivals.
Su Niang is a caring person, after arriving in the mansion, although Chu Huan has not spent much time in the mansion for a while, but usually in the mansion, Chu Huan will occasionally go to see Mo Lingshuang and the Western Regions Shuangzhu, and there are talking and laughing, at that time Su Niang felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think too much, at this time, she suddenly remembered, the Western Regions Shuangzhu was fine, but every time Mo Lingshuang looked at Chu Huan's eyes, it was a little different, women are the most sensitive to this kind of thing, Su Niang suddenly felt a lot of pressure when she thought of Ling Shuang's watery eyes and the whispers she heard when she talked to Chu Huan.
Seeing Su Niang frowning, Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "Sister, did I say something wrong?" I speak straightforwardly, although today is the first time I have met my sister, but I feel very cordial, as if I have been sisters for many years, so you don't take the nonsense to heart. ”
Su Niang hurriedly said: "No, no, Mrs. Xue, don't say that." I know...... I know you're for my good. ”
Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that my sister can think like this." Hey, who let me and my sister hit it off at first sight, and when the box was opened, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. ”
Su Niang thought for a while before she cautiously asked, "Mrs. Xue, what do you say...... You say Jiro really likes other women? ”
"Lord Chu has an excellent character, probably not." Mrs. Xue said: "But sometimes this kind of thing can't be done by men, you said that the big girl who is bright and bright is standing in front of you, which man is willing to drive away?" Holding Su Niang's hand, he said softly: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, as a woman, the best way is to be able to firmly tie the heart of your man, as long as you tie the heart of your own man to yourself, he will not be able to run no matter what." ”
Su Niang hurriedly said: "Then how to tie his heart?" ”
Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "If you want to tie his heart, you must make their heart move, so that every time they see you, their heart will move, only in this way can they slowly tie their hearts." ”
As soon as Su Niang heard it, she knew that Mrs. Xue was an old-timer, and she didn't want to be able to catch Chu Huan's heart, the husband and wife grew old together, and they were about to ask for advice, Mrs. Xue had already said: "Let a man's heart move, so that it is naturally very important, sister, you are like a flower, Lord Chu is naturally interested in you, but if you can take more care and dress up a little, Lord Chu will be even more impressed by you." ”
The two whispered for a long time, Su Niang only felt that she and Mrs. Xue were really like old acquaintances, and at this time she couldn't help but blush, bowed her head and said, "I...... I don't know how to dress up! ”
Mrs. Xue smiled: "With me here, you can rest assured." After a pause, he leaned close to Su Niang's ear and said softly: "Sister, don't blame me for being presumptuous if there is a sentence, I look at you as if you are ...... It seems that she is still a yellow flower girl? ”
