Chapter 268: Isn't it too difficult for mandarin ducks?

Shen Qi saw that Shen Datian was okay and invited credit, and he couldn't stop chattering: "Dad, I didn't expect you to eat arsenic with so much strength, I almost didn't hold it down just now, it took a lot of effort to hold one of your legs, but it tired me to death, fortunately you're okay now." ”

There was silence in the carriage, no one paid attention to him, Shen Datian lived so big, he wanted to die for the first time, Gu Fang was disgusted and was reluctant to speak.

Shen Qi felt bored, so he temporarily stopped thinking about inviting credit.

Shen Yuerong was in no mood to go to the full hall after such a fuss, she really couldn't understand why Shen Datian would eat arsenic, this matter would not be dead or alive, and he had always spared his life, how could he have such courage.

Shen Yuerong couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to, the front yard was smelly, so she decided to study the lipstick in the back room.

"Baozhu, Baocui, help me bring the dried petals and the pounding jar, and get a stove."

The two little maids didn't know what Shen Yuerong was going to do, so they just went to find it obediently.

Tofu can be applied to the face, and it is not surprising that the young lady has any new ideas.

Shen Yuerong took out the beef bone marrow prepared before, as well as the box containing the lipstick.

After all, she hasn't done it before, so she plans to try it first, just get it, see if it can be formed, and if it does, put some good materials next time and make it for her own use.

Shen Yuerong instructed: "Baozhu, you help me mash the petals, Baocui, you go and help me melt the beeswax." ”

"Yes." Bao Zhu Cui responded to the call.

Bao Cui couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what are you going to do today?" I've heard that this beeswax is a good thing, it's not cheap. ”

Beeswax is the wax secreted by bees, to be heated, overthought, condensed, and then taken out, the effect is very many, but the main role in the lip fat is to use it to stereotype, because of its edibility, it is the most reassuring to use as lip fat.

The price is not cheap, otherwise the rouge gouache shop would not be so expensive, but if you do it yourself, the amount is not large, and you need a little bit.

Baozhu said with a smile while pounding the petals, "Baocui, what do you know? This beeswax was specially bought by the county order for Miss, so what's wrong if it's not cheap? Our lady used it. ”

Bao Cui nodded madly: "En, our young lady is the future county lady, you can use whatever you want." ”

Shen Yuerong was in a much better mood listening to the chat between the two of them, and thought of what Shen Datian said about taking a concubine today, so she chatted along.

"Did you two come from the capital with Gu Xianling?"

Bao Zhucui shook his head, and Bao Cui said: "We also served the county order for a short time, and the two of us served together in another house before, but then the family was down, so we came here." ”

Then Brother Gu's previous affairs, they probably don't know much.

Baozhu then added: "It seems that Steward Huang came from the capital in the county office, no, miss, Lin Yun and Lin Feng should also be from the capital, and their accents are different from ours." ”

This Shen Yuerong really didn't pay enough attention, forget it, instead of asking around, it is better to wait for Brother Gu to come back and ask directly.

It's just that it's not too abrupt, after all, this phenomenon is very normal in this era, if there really is, he can't be blamed, and it's all in the past, who hasn't ordered the past.

But don't ask, I think it's weird, after all, the past tense is understandable, what if there are still people at home in the capital?

Shen Yuerong was still thinking about it, and Baozhu seemed to see something, and said, "Miss, are you thinking about what the eldest master said today?" I don't think you need to worry too much, Gu County Ling has been in our Jiahe County for a long time, and you have been to the backyard of the county government before, and no other woman has come. ”

Bao Cui added: "Yes, yes, the county order has a cold face to everyone, looking like a piece of ice, only to Miss has a smiling face, Miss is the most special, good looking, smart people, no one can compare." ”

Shen Yuerong smiled and looked at the two people who got along day and night in front of her, and these two people gradually showed their smart appearance, worthy of being picked by the housekeeper's uncle, and they could actually guess a little bit of my thoughts.

Shen Yuerong said with a smile: "It's an exaggeration, Gu County Ling has always been a good person, but his face is cold and his heart is hot." ”

Bao Zhucui looked at Shen Yuerong, who was guarding her husband, and couldn't help laughing.

The three of them chatted until they were almost done with the work at hand.

Shen Yuerong left the finest bit of the mashed petals, put them into the cow bone marrow and carefully mixed them until they fused, then added beeswax to mix, and finally poured them into the lipfat box, waiting to cool.

She remembered the purse again, and asked Baocui to pick a piece of cloth, and asked Baozhu to invite Aunt Liu.

Shen Yuerong asked: "Aunt Liu, I remember you said that you are very good, you teach me to make a purse?" ”

Aunt Liu has been doing chores since she came, and she is still very happy to do female red jobs who are good at it.

"Okay, what pattern does the young lady want to embroider?"

This, it's really difficult for Shen Yuerong, she really doesn't know anything about female celebrities.

Shen Yuerong had no choice but to ask: "What kind of embroidery patterns are generally beautiful?" ”

Aunt Liu is like a number of family treasures: "Girls' purses are generally embroidered with flowers, grass insects, auspicious words, men's purses are birds and beasts, landscapes, characters, poems and the like." ”

What is it to embroider for a lover? Mandarin duck? It's also too hard, and it's cookie-cutter and uncreative.

Shen Yuerong's face was embarrassed, and Aunt Liu said again: "What tricks does Miss want?" I'll help you embroider, it's absolutely beautiful. ”

Bao Zhucui secretly covered her mouth and laughed, and Aunt Liu suddenly realized.

"Is Miss going to give it to my uncle? It must be embroidered with mandarin ducks. ”

Shen Yuerong said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to embroider this at all, isn't this mandarin duck too difficult?" ”

Mandarin ducks are really not easy to embroider, even if they are veterans like Aunt Liu, it takes some work to embroider, not to mention a novice like Shen Yuerong, and the embroidery on the purse is a miniature version, which needs to be more detailed.

Aunt Liu thought of Shen Wan's saying that Shen Yuerong would not be a female celebrity today, so she proposed again: "Miss, why don't you embroider a concentric knot?" ”

Concentric knots, hey, there is.

Shen Yuerong took the paper and pen used to read the accounts on weekdays, drew a pattern, and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, I want to embroider this pattern, you teach me." ”

The three onlookers couldn't understand it, but they still opened up.

Shen Yue Rongguang can make money and eat, this kind of meticulous work is really a bit overwhelming, and after a while, she was pricked a few times, and she almost threw away the needle and thread in anger.

Thinking of Gu Jinghuai, who was still outside, she slowly calmed down, and little by little, under the careful guidance of Aunt Liu, she embroidered a little clumsy and a little bit.
