Chapter 65: Meet Again
It was almost noon after school, and before it was time to eat, Zilan went to the warehouse where the Yang family put things and pulled a box containing gems.
My grandfather was entrenched in the northwest all the year round, and there was a northwest trade route, so there was almost no shortage of various goods, especially the gem Yang family.
Hongmei followed in and asked, "Miss, what are you looking for, the slave will help you find it." ”
"Don't, I'll find it myself, my mother said that I can use her things as I like."
Zilan shook her head stubbornly.
"Of course, it's just that the storeroom is dirty, don't stain your new clothes."
Hongmei smiled and coaxed.
Zilan rummaged through the cabinets and found a few similar gemstones, the color is similar but the luster is not as good as her own, there is still a difference.
But it doesn't matter if she can count them, she took a few gems and showed them to Hongmei.
"Don't tell my mother, I'll make jewelry for my mother, and the rest will be a birthday gift for my brother, hehe!"
Hongmei smiled, "Okay, who do you want to make jewelry, do you need a slave to help you?" ”
"You help me call the steward of Huixiang Jinlou in, I have my own drawings, follow it, I want to make a gift for my mother."
Zilan thought about it, so that she could replace her gem.
"Okay, the minion will arrange it in a moment."
"Thank you, Sister Hongmei, don't tell my mother, there will be no surprise if you know in advance."
Zilan grabbed Hongmei's waist and tilted her head and begged.
"Okay, I won't say it, but the things still have to be accounted for, otherwise I won't be able to tell if I lose the slave."
Hongmei pointed to the gem in her hand, things can't be lost for no reason, she lost such a valuable thing in the treasury, she will be punished.
"Well, write it down, and I'll give you a mudra, so that you won't be punished."
Zilan nodded in understanding, so she needed to count this account.
"Thank you, Miss, for being kind to us."
Hongmei smiled gratefully.
After getting something, Zilan put it in her bookbag, ran away with it, and took the opportunity to replace it with her own stone and put it in her pocket.
In the afternoon, the steward came, Zilan drew the pattern of the jewelry in advance, Hongmei went to talk, and gave these stones to the steward and asked him to make jewelry.
It was made into a bracelet inlaid with various colored gemstones, and a few more were made for shrimp bracelets, and they were given to my grandmother and two aunts, as well as a pendant hanging around the neck, which was Shuhui.
It's not easy to steal a gem from the old lady's box, so just make one for your relatives and steal it again next time.
Including cousins, too, but they are not polished, so they can be directly handed over to the steward to make a wrench or a decoration on a men's belt.
The elder brother's one is polished into a gemstone similar to a faceted oval shape, which can be worn directly in the purse, and I can't think of what jewelry is suitable for the time being, so let's talk about it later.
The spar is not big, and the jewelry is almost used up, and the rest of the housekeepers will be taken back and returned to them.
After doing this, Zilan smiled happily, this movement naturally couldn't hide from the Yang family, she smiled with the old lady: "This kid, it's weird to be out all day long, I think I have to let her toss up my little inventory in a few days." ”
The old lady was also happy, "The child is filial, why don't you go to the Tao, the gems are gone, let your father get some back, it will be sent when it's cold, you can pick it at will, we have a lot of this thing." ”
"I don't know what kind of tricks she painted, I don't wear it if it doesn't look good."
Yang tilted his head very arrogantly.
"If you don't wear it for me, I'll wear it."
The old lady smiled narrowly, she was still looking forward to it.
Zilan went to learn etiquette and other courses in the afternoon, and after learning, she and Shuhui went to the incense room to make incense.
Now, in addition to not touching hot water and moving knives, you can do as simple things as basic grinding.
Shuhui followed her to learn and play together, by the way to identify the medicinal materials, she made seven white ointments today, the famous recipe, by Angelica angelica, white leaves, atractylodes each 30 grams, white poria (peeled) 9 grams, 15 grams of white aconite, 9 grams of aconite, 9 grams of fine spice.
Usage: The medicine is finely minced, and the chicken white is mixed evenly to make pills, such as marbles, or like human little fingers, and dried in the shade. After washing the face every night, the warm slurry water is ground in the urn, and the coating is wonderful.
Function: Make the face moist and not wrinkled, and retreat all gloom.
Solution: This prescription is from the "Imperial Medicine Prescription", which is used by the imperial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. This is a typical skin whitening, beauty formula, and the drug used is still commonly used in modern Chinese medicine and beauty.
Use this recipe to make a mask or wash your face, apply it once, slowly rub it for a few minutes, and then wash it off, and the effect is especially good for long-term persistence.
She made it for her mother and two aunts and other elders, and the two aunts took care of her diet and daily life in every detail on weekdays.
"Sister, is this a good job and your face is white?"
Shuhui smelled a little medicinal and asked curiously.
"That's right, it will be good to use the skin for a long time, and when I do it and divide it into several parts, you take one copy and give it to the second aunt, I will send it to the eldest aunt, and the rest will be used by my mother and grandmother.
Remember that you also sent a copy to Aunt Xu, she didn't bother to teach you the rules, and you personally sent it to thank you. ”
Zilan was afraid that Shuhui would not take it seriously, so she said a few words.
"I know, I'll personally send it to thank you sincerely, don't worry."
Shuhui nodded and understood her sister's kindness.
The method of making seven white paste is not difficult, it can be ground into powder, mixed together according to the proportion and amount and put into a beautiful porcelain box, and mixed with water or milk and honey when used.
Packed the things separately, took two boxes and handed them to Shuhui, "You go now, you have to be sincere, you know?" ”
"You're really verbose, I know, then I'll send it to Aunt Xu now."
"Okay."
Zilan also left a copy for Mama Qi and Mama Xu, saying that Mama was actually not that old, and she was only about forty years old. But in this era, forty-year-old grandsons have grown up to be biological children, and they have long been grandmother-level figures.
Zilan packed two boxes and put them in the mahogany box, "Muxiang, go with me to find my eldest aunt and give her a small gift." ”
"Okay."
Mu Xiang followed Zilan to the courtyard next to the main courtyard, which was the Yilan courtyard of the eldest uncle and eldest aunt.
Seeing her coming, the maid of Yilan Courtyard immediately saluted respectfully and took the initiative to greet her, "Hello cousin, why are you free to come over today?" ”
"Sister Qianxue, your clothes today are so beautiful, and your skin is so white.
I made something small and wanted to give to my aunt, but I don't know if it will be convenient for my aunt, if it's not convenient for you to send it in for me, I won't go in and disturb it. ”
Zilan's good obedience comes easily.
"Oops! The cousin has won the prize. Our lady is here, it's very convenient, please come in. ”
Qianxue is Xu's big maid and is ready to be a housekeeper in the future.
