Chapter 4: Playing Chess

The next day, under the early morning sun, Yun Zi got up to freshen up, and recently developed a new formula for lipstick, today I want to go to the shop to take a look, and teach those rouge ladies to try to make some.

After going through so many things, the little guy is really tired, still asleep, his red lips are slightly open, and his long eyelashes cover his eyelids, leaving a shadow. After a night of quilting, it was still neat and tidy, and I had to make Yun Zi sigh that the little guy's sleeping appearance was really excellent.

Yun Zi has never liked complicated, so Hongshang combed a simple snake bun for her, and saved a cold plum green and white jade hairpin, half rolled and half scattered, lining a white cheek more petite and lovely.

"Miss, what kind of clothes are you going to wear today?" Hongshang opened the wardrobe to show her.

"Just that moon-white plain velvet embroidered jacket."

Hongshang took the clothes, put them on for her, and sighed again, "Miss is already in her prime, how good is it to dress like this." ”

Yun Zi smiled and didn't say anything.

The streets are bustling and lively. Yun Zi opened the curtain and looked out, passing by his shop. The black-background plaque is written in gilded font - Yuyanpu, and the lower left corner is also marked with Yunji.

Yuyanpu is a three-storey building, and the first floor is naturally the storefront; On the second floor are the rooms of the various stewards; There are two rooms on the third floor, one used as a rest room for Yun Zi, and one used as a production room, which is dedicated to the development of new rouge recipes; And the backyard is the residence of the rouge workshop and the rouge girls.

At this time, there are still customers in the store who are picking up rouge gouache. "Let's go to the backyard." Yun Zi put down the gauze curtain and commanded lightly. The carriage walked straight ahead, turning and disappearing into the alley ahead.

Before entering the door, I smelled the fragrance of flowers, opened the delicate copper lock, pushed open the door as if caught in a sea of flowers, bursts of floral fragrance came to the face, the courtyard was drying fresh petals, and the rouge girls used thin bamboo poles to turn the petals, so that the degree of drying could be even.

Seeing Yunzi, the ladies greeted her with smiling faces, all of them were young girls, who were already the age of flowers, and this smile was just like the warm sun melting ice and snow, dispelling the cold air of the entire courtyard.

Zuo Qing is the lady in charge of the rouge workshop, and she was also one of the first batch of rouge ladies recruited by Yunzi, but she found that she was quite appreciative of the production of rouge, "Recently, a new recipe for lipstick has been developed, and I tried it for a few days and it was not bad." Prepare some dried roses, comfrey, roselle, rose pollen, peach blossom pollen, pearl powder, and beeswax, and you can try it out with me to see if there's anything wrong with the ingredients. ”

"Okay," Zuo Qing replied. "Young master, you go to the third floor to rest for a while, and I'll come up after I get my things ready."

Yun Zi raised his feet and turned around and went up to the third floor, instead of going directly to the production room, he went to his own lounge first, saying that it was a lounge, but it was actually a bedroom.

Bypassing the screen, there is a bed with a white embroidered gauze tent, a table of eight immortals in the center of the room, a bunch of gardenias on the table, a set of light pink glazed porcelain cups, the tea in the teapot is still steaming, and two pear wood carved chairs are placed opposite each other, a beauty couch leans against the window, there is no superfluous gorgeous furnishings, and the layout is simple but not without losing style. Although he didn't come often, the house was still spotless, and it seemed that Zuo Qing sent someone to clean it from time to time.

Came in a hurry, hastily ate some pastries and came, this way from Yunfu, also a little thirsty, Yun Zi sat down and raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea.

"Buckle button" The sound of the door was ringing outside the door, "Young master, everything is ready, can we start now?" Zuo Qing's crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Yes." Yun Zi slowly pushed open the door and followed Zuo Qing to the production room.

After careful checking, the formula of the lipstick does not have any pharmacological conflicts, the practicality is also very good, the color is delicate, and the color is the color of South China Sea coral, which is very suitable for young women. After the two discussed, they finalized the name of this fat - shark beauty.

It is the end of midwinter, the new year is approaching, it is the time when the ladies in the boudoir and the ladies in the courtyard like to choose rouge gouache, Yunzi set the manual period for a week, and told him to remember to be careful and carefully, carefully sift the raw materials, and make this batch of lipstick, not too anxious, but ignore the quality. Zuo Qing responded one by one.

Back in the mansion, Yun Chai was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard fiddling with a pair of chess pieces.

Yun Zi raised his hand and beckoned the red clothes and asked, "Little Young Master, can you have dinner in the morning?" ”

"After using it, I only ate a few bites of food and a plate of porridge."

"Can you play chess?" Yun Zi raised his eyebrows and asked him with some interest.

"No, I've just seen my father and his friends." The boy lowered his eyelids and spoke calmly.

"Oh? Can you read the chessboard? Yun Zi smiled, his eyes narrowed into a crooked crescent.

Yun replied, "Yes." The boy bit his red lip and asked, "Sister, would you like to teach Ah Chai to play chess?" ”

Yun Zi was stunned, after all, he was not his biological sister, and it was inappropriate for them to marry each other in the future and get along with each other all day long.

"You can!" Yun Zi looked at the boy's eyes full of anticipation, and sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he couldn't bear to refuse.

The corners of the boy's mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, and he smiled sweetly, "My sister has superb chess skills, if she doesn't dislike it, she can teach Ah Chai, and Ah Chai is very happy." ”

"Hongshang, go get some snacks and tea." Children still have to grow their bodies, and it is always bad to be hungry.

The red dress brought a plate of rose cake and a pot of hot tea. Yun Zi picked up a piece of it and naturally handed it to Yun Chai, "Come and try it, this rose cake is the dim sum that Chef Wang is best at." ”

Yun Chai was stunned, and then opened his mouth again. Yun Zi's hand paused, his arm was raised, he handed the pastry in, and touched his head, still a child. Yun Chai's face was extremely red, and he didn't know if he was ashamed of his rudeness, or if he was ...... Shy.

"Does the food taste delicious? If you have any preferences, just mention it to the kitchen, don't be too wronged yourself. ”

"I see, sister."

Yun Chai nodded, and explained to Hongsheng, "The little young master is the little master of Yun Mansion, if he has any requirements, as long as they are not excessive, he must try to meet them!" ”

The red dress answered. I think the young lady is afraid that people will not take the little master's affairs to heart, so she specially advised. This reminds people to be more cautious and cautious in doing things, and not to be lazy.

"That's right, Ah Chai, I've done a household registration for you today,

Let's just say that my cousin of my cousin in Yunzhou came to me because of the death of both parents due to this year's floods. ”

Yun Zi looked at the little guy's eyes with a flash of hesitation, knowing his concerns, and continued, "There is indeed such a distant relative, who is not afraid to investigate." ”

"Ah Chai, you can enroll in school in the next year." Yun Zi looked at him with a smile and said.
