Chapter 021: Skin Turns White
Zhao Yong's family didn't know He Miao's mother and daughter's bad idea, and it took a lot of words to get He Miao to accept the gift. Seeing He Miao's "reluctantly" acceptance, they were relieved.
Zhao Yong's family didn't stay long, gave gifts, and said a few kind words before leaving.
At this time, Liang Jie was busy in the fields, Zheng Changyin was picking herbs on the mountain, and he didn't know about the visit of Zheng Yong's family, let alone the gifts. As soon as Zhao Yong's family left, Zheng Wenjia quickly took the gift back to his room and took it for himself.
In the evening, Zheng Changyin and Liang Jie went home. He Miao's mother and daughter never mentioned that Zhao Yong's family came to thank him.
"Mom, it's a good thing, take it in your mouth." Zheng Changyin handed Liang Jie a herb. Immediately, he lowered his head and sorted out the fruits of today's labor.
Liang Jie looked at the herbs in his hand and was distracted. During this time, Zheng Changyin ran into the mountains as soon as he had time, and then came back with a large basket of herbs. There were already a lot of sun-dried herbs piled up in the small dark room, and the smell of herbs was filling the air.
"Changyin, what's the use of you picking so many medicines when you come back?" Liang Jie frowned. She was worried that Zheng Changyin was addicted to collecting medicine and was distracted from studying.
"It's a big deal." As soon as herbal medicine was mentioned, Zheng Changyin became interested and responded very seriously: "Every herb has irreplaceable effects. For example, it helps us to replenish our body; whitens the skin; It even purified the air in this little dark room. β
Zheng Changyin took a deep breath and let the scent of herbs fill his lungs. In her previous life, she had been dealing with herbs since she was a child, and her favorite was the fragrance of herbs. These scents make her feel at ease and feel good.
"Mom, don't you think the air in the room is better than before? Are the temperatures dropping too? β
After Zheng Changyin's reminder, Liang Jie paid attention. This little dark room has no windows, no fan in the house, and it is like a steamer in summer, so hot that people can't breathe. But since the herbs were piled up in the house, the steamer-like feeling disappeared, and there was a soothing coolness.
Liang Jie was about to ask which herb was so magical, but Zheng Changyin dropped a sentence: "Mom, I'm going to take a bath." "I walked away with a bunch of herbs.
Zheng Changyin sprinkled the herbs in the large wooden barrel, and as soon as the hot water soaked, bursts of herbal incense came. People soaked in wooden barrels, and suddenly felt refreshed. Zheng Changyin rubbed his whole body with herbal water, over and over again, taking extreme care of his skin.
These days, Zheng Changyin has applied herbal water to his face and bathed, and his skin texture has been greatly improved, and it is much whiter than when he was just reborn.
"It's a pity, there's only herbs here." Looking at his smooth and translucent arms, Zheng Changyin still sighed and remembered the past.
"Concubine Niangniang, your rose water is ready."
"Concubine Niangniang, today is a milk bath."
"Concubine Niangniang, I have already soaked the flowers in the water according to your instructions."
In his previous life, in the palace, Zheng Changyin's requirements for bath water were very high. All kinds of petal baths and herbal baths must be prepared according to her requirements. Her skin is also the best one in the palace, her skin is better than snow, smooth and white like a baby, and she is deeply loved by the emperor.
"Guifei Niangniang, your skin is so good." The palace maid who was waiting on the side couldn't help but praise.
"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor still designated Niangniang to sleep today."
β¦β¦
Memories of past lives linger and always come back to mind occasionally. Zheng Changyin shook his head vigorously, trying to stop thinking about it. The man she loved deeply, the man who had been with her for countless nights, finally pushed her into the abyss and died in the cold palace.
Thinking about it now, Zheng Changyin still hates, gritting his teeth with hatred. So, to live again, she vowed that she would no longer believe in men, no longer believe in love, and live well only for herself.
Zheng Changyin carefully wiped the water droplets on his body with a towel, caring for himself like a treasure. In this life, she dresses up to please herself, no longer for men.
After bathing, Zheng Changyin soon fell asleep. Liang Jie couldn't sleep for a long time. Lying on the bed, his eyes were fixed on Zheng Changyin on the side. Although it was pitch black, Liang Jie couldn't see Zheng Changyin's appearance clearly, but Liang Jie still felt that Changyin was becoming more and more like her father.
Zheng Changyin's increasingly fair skin, her fascination with herbs, and so on, are all the same as her father's.
Kang Yu, where the hell are you? Why aren't you coming home yet? Do you know? My daughter has grown up and looks very much like you. Liang Jie's nose was sour, and her face was moist.
As soon as the morning dawned, Zheng Changyin went to class as usual. Before he walked into the classroom door, he heard Zhao Yong shouting: "Sister, are you here?" β
Zheng Changyin was stunned for a moment and looked back. There is no one behind him, who is Zhao Yong talking to?
"Sister, I wiped your table and chair clean, come in and sit." Before Zheng Changyin came back to his senses, Zhao Yong had already pulled Zheng Changyin into the classroom.
"You call me a sister?" Zheng Changyin's face sank and he was displeased. Although the combined age of her two lives is older than Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong is a head taller than her, and from the outside, it is obvious that Zhao Yong is older than her. Why did you call her sister?
"Yes, my sister saved my life, you will be my sister in the future, and I will listen to my sister in the future." Zhao Yong slapped his chest loudly, for fear that Zheng Changyin would not know his loyalty.
Zheng Changyin couldn't cry or laugh, just like that, he had an extra brother?
"Zhao Yong, do you need this? Zheng Changyin is just a coincidence, how can she understand acupuncture? You are so naΓ―ve. Feng Hui snorted coldly at the same table. Until now, she didn't believe that Zheng Changyin really knew medical skills and could save people.
"Feng Hui, I don't allow you to question my sister!" There is no need for Zheng Changyin to say anything, Zhao Yong is already upset with her.
"Feng Hui, don't think about bullying my sister again. Otherwise, I'm not done with you! β
"You-" Feng Hui was so angry that he shuddered, but he couldn't say a word.
Zheng Changyin didn't say a word, as if watching a play. It seems that it is good to have a younger brother, at least this younger brother will speak for her. In this case, this "sister" should be.
Inadvertently, Zhao Yong saw Zheng Changyin's old schoolbag, and his brows furrowed. I gave my sister a new school bag, why did she still use the old one? Doesn't she like that new bag?
Zhao Yong's mother deliberately picked a pink schoolbag. Girls, she said, love pink. Zhao Yong couldn't help but think, if my sister doesn't like pink, then what color does she like? Don't give me another one for my sister.
Zhao Yong thought about it, his mouth opened and closed, and finally mustered up the courage and asked, "Sister......"
"You are Zheng Changyin?"
Before Zhao Yong finished speaking, he heard an unfriendly voice outside.
