Chapter 5 Cosmetics for Pregnant Women
Ning Xianglan looked at Qingyue in surprise, "You actually know how to make incense?" ”
Qingyue nodded, "I've learned a little bit before. ”
Soon, Qingyue made a list of spices needed, and Mama Zhao immediately went down to prepare.
After a stick of incense, Mama Zhao brought back many bottles and jars, and placed them on the desk in front of Qingyue one by one, Qingyue lowered her head and studied the spices in the bottle, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and began to make incense.
Guan Qingyue has studied cosmetics in modern times, and she has also studied cosmetics suitable for pregnant women, so it is not difficult to make.
A wisp of the dim sunset shone on Qingyue, and she took a deep breath, "It's done!" ”
Ning Xianglan leaned on the beauty couch and took a nap, heard Guan Qingyue's voice, got up slowly, and looked at the porcelain vase in Guan Qingyue's hand, "This is what you did?" She took the porcelain vase in Qingyue's hand, lowered her head and sniffed it, the paste inside exuded an elegant and unique fragrance, Ning Xianglan asked in surprise: "What is this?" It doesn't smell like your usual rouge. ”
"Slave and maid put on your makeup." Guan Qingyue said with a smile.
Ning Xianglan frowned, looking at the small porcelain bottle in Guan Qingyue's hand suspiciously, "If you put this thing on my face, what if it is disfigured?" ”
Guan Qingyue said: "Young grandma can find someone to check the ingredients inside." ”
Ning Xianglan raised her eyes and said to Mama Zhao, "Go and invite Master Zhang over." ”
Master Zhang is a perfumer specially hired by the Yuan family, and he only needs to smell any spice to know the ingredients inside.
Mama Zhao came back soon, followed by a middle-aged man, Mama Zhao handed the porcelain bottle in Qingyue's hand to Master Zhang, Master Zhang lowered his head and sniffed it a few times, scraped out a little bit and wiped it on the back of his hand, and then grinned: "Grandma, this bottle is just rouge made of ordinary spices, and spices are added to it that are beneficial to pregnant women. ”
Ning Xianglan's apricot eyes widened, she glanced at Qingyue on the side in surprise, and took the small porcelain bottle, "Can this thing be used?" ”
"It can be used and can be used, although the young grandmother can rest assured." Master Zhang said.
After Master Zhang left, Ning Xianglan sat in front of the dresser, and Guan Qingyue evenly applied the cream in the bottle to her face, and patted it from time to time with the puff on the table.
Ning Xianglan was surprised to find that the skin on her face had become smooth and white, her skin was like condensed fat, and her white fingers were placed on her cheeks, "What kind of rouge is this?" After applying it to the face, it fits so well. ”
Guan Qingyue said: "Back to the young grandmother, this is called foundation, which is mainly made of moon linxiang, sandalwood, jatamansi and a large amount of frankincense plus a little mint, and finally added taro that is beneficial to pregnant women." ”
Ning Xianglan looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, nodded and said, "It's really good." ”
Guan Qingyue stood behind Ning Xianglan and tidied up Ning Xianglan's bun, revealing two dimples, "The eldest young grandmother can give the slave maid a day, and the slave maid will make you a set of incense powder to ensure that the eldest young master likes it." ”

With Ning Xianglan's permission, Qingyue returned to her room with a large number of bottles and cans in her arms, placed the spices in front of the dresser, took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves and began to concoct.
Her original dream was to one day design her own cosmetics, but she didn't expect it to come true, albeit in ancient times.
After a day's work, Qingyue came to Ning Xianglan with a few delicate small bottles. The little maid next to her was holding a plate in her hand, Ning Xianglan picked up a grape on the plate with her orchid fingers, and lifted her eyelids, "It's done?" ”
Guan Qingyue nodded and said: "The cyan bottle is shampoo, and the perfume next to it is perfume, and the slave maid has specially developed a floral perfume according to the preferences of the young grandmother on weekdays." ”
Ning Xianglan became interested, "Why didn't you realize that you had this ability before?" ”
Guan Qingyue smiled awkwardly, thinking that Qingyue in the past had already been killed by you.
Ning Xianglan refreshed herself under Qingyue's service, at this moment she exuded the fragrance of osmanthus all over her body, her long black hair was scattered around her waist, and a delicate hairpin flower was inserted in her bun.
"Qingyue, you go and see when the eldest young master will come back." Ning Xianglan sat in front of the dresser, staring at her fair cheeks with a pair of beautiful eyes, very satisfied with her current appearance.
didn't wait for Yuan Annan, but Mama Yang came to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion with a bowl.
Ning Xianglan's face became a little ugly, she got up like a weak willow in the wind, and said, "Why did Mama Yang come here again?" ”
Mama Yang brought out the black medicinal juice in the bowl and said politely: "The young grandmother is a noble person who forgets things, and the old lady sent a slave to bring soothing water to the young grandmother." ”
Ning Xianglan frowned, "It's really Mama Lao Yang, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm very careful about my diet, after drinking the tranquilizer water yesterday, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid this tranquilizer is not suitable for me... I also asked Mama Yang to tell her mother-in-law that she didn't have to send it in the future. ”
"Yo, how is this possible, the medicinal materials in this tranquilizing water are all excellent medicines, and they are also good for pregnant women." Mama Yang saw that Ning Xianglan was making an excuse to send her, and brought the medicine bowl to her, "Young grandma, drink it while it's hot." ”
Ning Xianglan hung her head, her slender hand held her forehead, and she got up suddenly, "I said I wouldn't drink, why are you..."
Mama Yang's wrist was unsteady, the medicine bowl was shattered on the ground, and the medicine juice in it splashed everywhere.
"This! Grandma, you ......"
Before the words fell, Yuan Anan strode in from outside, threw the cloak to the little guy behind him, and saw Mama Yang looking at a loss, as well as the carpet soaked with medicinal juice, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" Why is Mama Yang here? ”
Ning Xianglan seemed to be a different person, she lay on the desk with a weak look, and when she saw Yuan Anan approaching, she got up and prostrated weakly, coughing lightly while covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Xianggong, you are back." ”
Yuan Anan frowned and looked at Ning Xianglan, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ning Xianglan turned her face away and said aggrievedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I was unwell the day before yesterday, and I didn't go to ask my mother-in-law for peace, so she sent Mama Yang to give me calming water every day," Saying that, Ning Xianglan coughed weakly a few times, and leaned on Yuan Anan weakly and bonelessly, "But I feel very uncomfortable after drinking the tranquilizing water, Xianggong, you help me beg my mother-in-law, I really can't drink the tranquilizing water." ”
Yuan Annan's hand unconsciously hugged Ning Xianglan's shoulder, and a touch of elegant fragrance lingered on the tip of Yuan Annan's nose, he suddenly felt that Ning Xianglan today was a little different from usual, and it seemed to be more charming than before. He curled the corners of his lips, "Mother is also for your good health." ”
