Chapter 439: Those ladies in Beijing
He Chun blushed from laughter at them, and said angrily: "Don't look bad, it's much better than the soap you bought!" The aloe vera has been moistened by hand, and the hands of honey and milk have not been dried, and it is still very delicate! ”
Wutong continued to fall into the well: "Just your handiwork, this level, let alone five taels of silver, it is five dollars of silver, and no one else will buy it!" Hurry up and take it back, don't take it out and look ugly!! ”
Yu Xiaocao glanced at her lightly, and Wutong immediately closed her mouth in amusement.
"Show me!" Yu Xiaocao took the two handmade soaps, the shape is indeed miserable, this He Chun is too unparticular, it won't be a shape made by grabbing it with his hands twice, right? I put the pale cyan one under my nose and sniffed it gently, the taste was quite elegant, with a faint fragrance of aloe vera. The color is uneven, and it is estimated that when the aloe vera juice is mixed in, it is not stirred.
She asked Wutong to bring a basin of water, and washed her hands with the soap of honey milk, the foam was quite delicate, and after washing, her hands were smooth and smooth, with the fragrance of toffee. In addition to the bad look, the effect is quite good.
She helped give a few words of advice, and gave He Chun a bottle of spirit stone water, saying that it was the essence water that she had extracted from many medicinal herbs that was good for the skin. Let the little girl next time she makes handmade soap, put a drop of "drug essence water", and the effect will be better.
He Chun admired Miss's pharmaceutical technology so much that he threw himself into it. Miss said that this essence water is good for the skin, so the handmade soap with this essence water will definitely be able to whiten, moisturize and remove acne and delicate skin as Miss said......
In He Chun's heart, Miss is a god-like existence, and Sister Cherry and Sister Yang Liu are the objects of her worship and the goal of her efforts. Sister Cherry has a talent for pharmaceuticals, so she becomes the manager in charge of the pharmaceutical workshop; Sister Yang Liu is quite talented in cooking, so she has become an indispensable kitchen manager in the Beijing braised vegetable restaurant. If she can perfect and refine this handmade soap, will she be able to become Miss's right-hand man like them in the future?
Mrs. Fang was smiling and watching her daughters and girls "mess around" for a while. Seeing that He Chun's girl was "fooled" by her daughter's words, she couldn't find the north, so she smiled and said: "He Chun, your young lady has a lot of wonderful ideas, so you need a girl like you who is good at doing things and dares to try." Do a good job, this might be your chance! ”
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said nothing, but He Chun was full of energy. Seeing Wutong on the side, he was depressed: Miss doesn't want to see herself? I'd rather promote those little girls at the bottom than give myself a chance. Don't...... That little hoof made a small report to the young lady about her reluctance to go to the countryside to endure hardships and talk about cool words? She was full of sorrow, and thought hard about how she could change her opinion of herself.
Here, the two of them chatted about the ladies in Beijing.
"Cao'er, next month's Douhua Meeting, the post personally ordered by the county lord of Minglan, if you shirk it again, I'm afraid you will be said to be arrogant, unsociable, or spoiled and so on. But if you go, my mother is afraid that you will be wronged...... "Mrs. Fang is also very entangled. On the one hand, I want my daughter to have more contact with her peers and gradually have her own circle of friends, but I am afraid that those young ladies who are above the top will look down on her daughter's background, so she will talk about her past.
Yu Xiaocao smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing wronged or wronged." Don't those so-called famous ladies rely on their backgrounds to be better than others? Regardless of their backgrounds, what do they have left to be proud of? Godmother, don't worry! Those who are irrelevant are not worthy of making me sad and sad. ”
"Your temperament has always been free and easy, and my mother doesn't say anything more. You're right, making friends also depends on fate, let it be! Seeing that Xiaocao had a bottom in her heart, Mrs. Fang didn't say anything more, but said, "That Minglan County Lord is cool and generous, but he is not the kind of person with high eyebrows and low eyes." However, she speaks more directly, and if she says anything unpleasant, she may not be prejudiced against you. It's up to you! ”
Yu Xiaocao nodded obediently, and Mrs. Fang said again: "It is not a secret that the county lord of Minglan likes chrysanthemums in Beijing. Ming'er Douhua, you can take the 'Er Qiao' in our conservatory and do what he likes. Even if you can't come out on top, the lord of Minglan will treat you differently. ”
After a pause, Mrs. Fang was still not at ease, and told the ladies in the girl Co Putin: "Among the ladies in Beijing, the famous ones are the 'Four Talented Women' and 'Shuangshu'. The four talented women are Cao Panyun, the daughter of the Guozi Priest, Wu Lingfu, the granddaughter of the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the daughter of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the daughter of the Zhongshu Lang, Lin Weiyu. Such a person has a high temperament and no dust under his eyes, but he also cherishes his feathers and will not easily make enemies with others. ”
"As for Shuangshu, it is comprehensively evaluated from the aspects of appearance and temperament. One is Yuan Xueyan, the daughter of Prime Minister Yuan, who is better than snow in white and cold and dusty; One is He Wanning, the granddaughter of the eldest princess, who is dressed in red and has a fiery temperament. These two have diametrically opposite temperaments, but they are a pair of good friends. Yuan Xueyan doesn't care, He Wanning, this girl, must not be offended, if she turns her face, anyone will dare to beat ......"
Mrs. Fang also introduced the temperament of other ladies, and until dinner, she was still reluctant to stop, for fear that if she missed the slightest mistake, her daughter would suffer a big loss.
Yu Xiaocao just listened quietly, and she didn't want to get on the pole to make friends with those ladies who were holding them all day long, as if they were wearing a mask. When the time comes, as long as you can pass on face.
As the days go by, as the weather gets colder, the greenhouse vegetables show its charm even more. This year, Zhuangzi only tried to plant 100 acres, and there was no shortage of rich and powerful people in Beijing. To put it mildly, if you throw a stick casually on Chaoyang Street, the person you hit is either rich or expensive. Whether there is money or power, there is no shortage of silver, and greenhouse vegetables have been fried to an unprecedentedly high price in the case of short supply.
On weekdays, green leafy vegetables cost a pound for a few pennies, and half a pound of silver, and they may not be able to grab it. As for vegetables such as eggplant, beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers, the price is higher, and some people rush to ask for a tael of silver. In front of the vegetable and fruit stores in the east and west of the city, there are people queuing up before dawn, and it doesn't take half a day to open the door, and the vegetables sold out every day will be sold out.
The most painful thing is King Jing, knowing that the vegetable and fruit shops in the east and west of the city are all subordinate to King Jing's mansion, and those colleagues who have spoken before or have not spoken before have come to set up for it, and in the end they can't hide from vegetables and fruits and the like, to see if he can open the back door and supply some unplanned.
King Jing was so annoyed that he couldn't do anything, so he could only sell the emperor: the greenhouse vegetables were jointly owned by the emperor and the agricultural official Yu of the household department, and they had nothing to do with King Jing's mansion, they were just responsible for sales. Don't look at him as a prince, he can't say anything about this! Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to go to Lord Xiaoyu's place for a walk.
Those civil ministers and military generals are mostly opposed to Yu Xiaocao as an official. At the beginning, for her reward, there were ministers with fierce personalities, and they almost hit the pillar. How could it be for the sake of appetite to pull down his face and beg for the head of a six-grade petty official. Some people even blame Yu Xiaocao for not having eyesight and not knowing how to improve the relationship with the courtiers...... If you want other people's vegetables, you have to bring them to the shelf, and these people are also drunk!
Yu Xiaocao must know what these people think, and he must be squirting. She, a peasant official, is just for the convenience of the emperor and for fun, can she still expect to grow grain, vegetables, melons and fruits, all the way to the first grade? Liupin, it's the end of her here!! Why is she in a hurry to slap in with those who have nothing to do with it? Send them vegetables? Why don't you sell it for a penny?
However, the number of posts received by the General's Mansion has continued to increase recently. A small part was given to Yu Xiaocao, all of whom were handed over by unknown ladies who didn't know what purpose. The other part is to invite Mrs. Fang to get together in a roundabout way, and specially indicate that she wants to bring Yu Xiaocao, a cheap girl. was politely rejected by Yu Xiaocao on the grounds that he was busy with the publicity. It's not as easy to entertain those fake and fake ladies as you are to do hard work!
Because she rarely attends various gatherings, she is even more mysterious in the circle of ladies in Beijing. Of course, those ladies who didn't refuse didn't say anything bad about her. What arrogance, stinginess, shamelessness, etc.! This also makes more people curious, what kind of person is this little girl who was born in a peasant family at the age of eleven or twelve?
Soon, the day of the "Flower Fighting Party" arrived. A few days ago, someone quietly asked whether the agricultural officer Yu would participate. More people are waiting to see a good show: if the surname Yu doesn't even give face to the county lord of Minglan, then she is waiting to be abandoned from the circle of beautiful and noble girls! (Yu Xiaocao: Does it matter?) )
Jiang Siniang sent the flag outfit she made by herself to the general's mansion in advance. The flag costume is about to be fully listed in the Linglong Embroidery Workshop, and I hope that the flag costume can become an instant hit in the aristocratic circle.
When Yu Xiaocao was trying on clothes, she also said to herself: "Sister, I'm afraid that I will go in glamorously and come out with a disgraced face." At that time, such a beautiful dress, if people 'unintentionally' spilled tea, or got sauce or something. Isn't it a waste? ”
Jiang Siniang's hand that helped her adjust her clothes paused, thinking of the difficulty when she supported the embroidery workshop at the beginning, the corners of her mouth pursed into a line, and said coldly: "It's okay!" Those people have to take care of their faces, and they shouldn't dare to do it directly. At most, let's say something that doesn't sound good, and let's just bark like a wild dog. My sister brought you an extra set, but you must pay more attention when you change it, so as not to fall into other people's ways. The selfishness and methods of those so-called famous ladies also have to be guarded against. ”
