After sending Lao Qiutou away, Leng Yue was dragged into the house by Aunt Qiu impatiently, and asked like a machine gun: "Yueniang, you said that you can make rouge gouache, is it true?" How? Just use this flower to make rouge gouache, how can I look unreliable? Will you really do it? ”

"Auntie, don't worry." Leng Yue was blown up by Aunt Qiu's hair, but she still patiently explained to her: "These flowers are the main materials, of course, there are some auxiliary materials, auntie, you help me get some honey, and I will boil some beeswax." ”

"Okay." Aunt Qiu heard that Leng Yue asked for honey, so she went to the kitchen to get it.

Leng Yue brought the small stove that usually boils medicine at home, and after Aunt Qiu brought the honey, Leng Yue added water to a clean casserole and put it in the fire to simmer.

Aunt Qiu guarded the fire and asked, "And then?" ”

"When it's boiled, you can filter it." Cold reading washes the petals back.

"What is filtration?" Aunt Qiu didn't understand at all.

"Oh." Leng Yue took a piece of white clean soil gauze and gave it to Aunt Qiu, and said, "You spread this, pour it in, and when it is cold, it will solidify into beeswax." ”

"I see." Aunt Qiu took the gauze and nodded.

Leng Yue smashed the petals, twisted the smashed petals into flower juice with another piece of clean gauze, looked at the red flower juice, Leng Yue put the pre-cut lip paper in it and soaked it for a quarter of an hour, Aunt Qiu came over and said in surprise: "It turns out that this is the lip paper used by the rich lady?" It's that simple? ”

Leng Yue smiled, "But I still want to add something." ”

Although this lip paper can be colored, but after coloring, it is not moisturizing, and I have seen that Mrs. Xiao and Ling'er's lips are very dry, and there is less polish after coloring, which is not very good-looking.

"What are you going to add?" Aunt Qiu was extremely curious.

"Wait for your beeswax." Leng Yue pointed to the beeswax that was still cooling, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's do the marriage fat first." ”

"Okay." Aunt Qiu was in high spirits, rubbed her hands and asked, "How to do it?" ”

"Just watch me do it."

Leng Yue took out the pearl powder he bought last time, poured a little, and kneaded with the flower juice, at this time, the beeswax was completely curled, Leng Yue pulled a small piece down, put it in the casserole, added some white vinegar and pressed tea seed oil that is usually used to make side dishes at home, and put it into the fire to boil.

Aunt Qiu watched Leng Yue add oiled beeswax to lip paper and pearl powder, which was very strange, and praised Leng Yue: "Yueniang, you are too good, and there are other things you don't know?" ”

"Yes, a lot of things don't." Leng Yue replied while coloring the lip paper.

"When I come back from the new year, I don't know how surprised I am to see that you can even make lip paper." Aunt Qiu sighed twice, shook her head and said, "Yueniang, I really think that you are not like us, like a fairy who has been beaten into the mortal world by the heavens." ”

"Auntie, you have heard that the book is stupid, there are no stories of fairies descending to earth, they are all blinded." Leng Yue was amused by Aunt Qiu.

"Why not, aren't you?" Anyway, now Aunt Qiu admires Leng Yue and throws herself to the ground.

Leng Yue picked up a piece of lip paper and handed it to Aunt Qiu, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you try it and see if you can dye your lips." ”

"What am I trying to do, I'm an old woman in her forties, you try, I'll bring you a mirror." Aunt Qiu has never used anything like rouge gouache in her life, so she is embarrassed to let her use it.

"Still shy." Leng Yue saw Aunt Qiu running away, and smiled with a lip paper.

The lip paper is very colored, and the color is excellent, and the moisturization is also good, Leng Yue is very satisfied with his handmade cosmetics, so he began to make blues for thrush with Aunt Qiu.

There is something to do, and the time is very easy to pass, in addition to eating, the two of them are locked up at home to make these marital fat gouaches, Leng Yue took two days to make the moisturizer, Aunt Qiu wiped it, ecstatic, and always asked Leng Yue when he would go to the town to sell?

Leng Yue has her own ideas, she wants to let that Lord Xiao help in this business, after all, she is a country woman, and it is inevitable that she will suffer losses when doing business with others.

There are people in the court who are easy to do, and since ancient times, there is no one in the yamen, and it will not work if they want to do business honestly and make money.

"Let's make more, these dozen bottles can't sell for much." Leng Yue had an idea in his heart.

Aunt Qiu listened to Leng Yue, and said that she would do some more, nodded and started to work again.

"What more to do? You guys. ”

A voice came from the door, Leng Yue and Aunt Qiu turned their heads to look, Aunt Qiu saw that the person who came was Wan Baofang, and said in disgust: "Why are you, aren't you leaving?" What else are you doing? ”

"This is my home, I can come if I want, I can leave if I want, can you manage it?" Wan Baofang hugged her arms, didn't take Aunt Qiu in her eyes, and asked Leng Yue in a high-minded tone: "How is it?" How much money have you made in the past few days since I left? ”

"Are you sick?" Leng Yue didn't like this Wan Baofang very much, he used to look at Jin'er's face, and try to keep his distance from Wan Baofang, but he didn't want this Wan Baofang to kick his nose in the face, and ran to ask her how much money she earned, she really regarded herself as a green onion, thinking that she was big and she was small, so how could she obey her?

I've never seen such a dead-skinned person who doesn't know the situation.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, when Nianzi comes, I'll ask Nianzi in person." Wan Baofang knew that Leng Yue and Aunt Qiu didn't like her, and when she saw that their eyes were not good, she was also a little more interesting, otherwise she would have angered them, who knows if they would do it.

"You are really shameless, and you want to wait for Nianzi to come back and ask in person, who are you when you are, shameless slut, didn't you take a hundred taels of silver? Dare to get out of here, is this the place for you? Aunt Qiu domineeringly beat Wan Baofang out with a broom, pointed at Wan Baofang and scolded: "Come in again, believe it or not, I broke your dog's leg?" A boring like you, don't dirty my floor. ”

"Okay, you old woman Qiu, don't think that if you marry an old man, you will be lawless, I don't know how you will die, and when the young man comes back, if he obediently provides me with good food and drink, if I am a little unhappy, I will let your whole family die." Wan Baofang stuck her waist and pointed at Aunt Qiu's nose and scolded each other.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you still think you are the mother of the palace or the emperor? wants to kill my whole family, a beggar woman who is even dirty as a beggar, and wants to threaten me to see if I don't kill you. As soon as Aunt Qiu's temper came up, she picked up the broom and hit Wan Baofang.

Wan Baofang saw that Aunt Qiu was really beaten, so she hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of her feet, and said as she ran: "You wait, die Old Lady Qiu, I will let you bring me tea and pour foot washing water in the future, you are not as good as a dog." ”

"I'll wait, wait until you become the lady of the palace." Aunt Qiu saw Wan Baofang fleeing, laughed, and yelled at Wan Baofang.

"Do you think this person is sick, and he dares to threaten us, and he thinks that his life is long? Count her as fast as she runs, or I'll kill her." Aunt Qiu said indignantly.

Leng Yue twisted his eyebrows, just when Wan Baofang came in, his face was stricken, it was as natural as asking Nianzi for a hundred taels of silver, Wan Baofang, this woman is annoying, but she is not really stupid, why would she be sure that Nianzi would definitely give her a hundred taels of silver? Why did you say that again?

If you talk about threats, there is always a handle, right?

Did Wan Baofang know about the previous events of Nianzi?

It's possible.

She always felt that Nianzi had something unspeakable hidden in her heart, although she could fix Wan Baofang, but she was helpless to take Wan Baofang, Nianzi wouldn't really kill people before, right?

No, Nianzi killed someone, Wan Baofang can only threaten Nianzi alone, why did Wan Baofang say that if Nianzi didn't eat and drink for her, she would let her whole family die?

The sin of being beheaded?

"Yueniang, what are you thinking?" Aunt Qiu saw Leng Yue in a daze and pushed her.

Leng Yue came back to his senses and looked at Aunt Qiu absent-mindedly, "I'm thinking that my father and Nianzi will not be able to come back in two days, right?" ”

Two days later is the Qingming Festival, she forgot about it, the Qingming Festival to go to relatives, father and Nianzi with Jin'er Xiu'er will definitely sacrifice the dead relatives, I heard Nianzi say, his mother died when he was ten years old, he also has a twin brother, died on the battlefield after joining the army, the court did not even have a pension, and the bones were not transported back, he went to the government to ask, and the government gave him a piece of clothing.

Leng Yue felt that this court was too irresponsible, the soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country, and they didn't return the corpses to their relatives for burial, if this continues, who is willing to work for this court?

"Thinking about the New Year?" Aunt Qiu thought of this and buried the old man, and said, "What do they mean by taking Jin'er Xiu'er back to worship their ancestors and leaving the two of us at home?" Aren't we family members when we enter the door later? ”

"Auntie, don't complain, I think they may not be able to let women be present during the sacrifice, so they let the two of us stay at home." Leng Yue didn't think about this, she now wanted to ask what Nianzi had done before, so that Wan Baofang came to be arrogant.

If Nianzi really committed a serious crime, it is inevitable that the Lian family will be blackmailed by Wan Baofang, and everything will wait for Nianzi to come back.

"Is there such a custom of not allowing women to be present?" Aunt Qiu asked, "Isn't that embroidery a woman?" ”

"She's still a child." Leng Yue didn't expect Aunt Qiu to be a lot of years old, and she was still like a child, so she didn't take her there, and she was always haunted.

"Forget it, if you don't go, you won't go, the road is so far, the bones will fall apart, and you can stay at home to enjoy it." Aunt Qiu spoke, first very angry, and then worried, "I don't know if even the old man can't stand the long journey?" Don't come back, people are thin. ”

Leng Yue ignored Aunt Qiu, and continued to mess with the unfinished work in his hands, thinking in his heart that if Nianzi really committed the crime of beheading all over the house, then Wan Baofang blackmailed them, and the future days would only be peaceful, and they would be afraid.

Aunt Qiu saw that Leng Yue didn't talk, only to realize that she had lost her dignity in front of the juniors, and secretly scolded herself, disrespecting the old, how could she complain and show her feelings in front of the juniors? Dry or not.

In the middle of the night, a figure passed by the window, just about to push the door.

"Ah......h

Leng Yue woke up in shock and sat up straight from the bed......
