Chapter 624: Unscrupulous for the sake of beauty
Li Bai found that his hands were not much different from Yang Kaitai's skin color......
Yang Kaitai is a soldier, he wants to fight, he is often exposed to the wind and sun, and his complexion is wheat, which is a matter of course.
And she is a woman, her skin should be like clotted fat, her hands should be like white jade, when her hands and Yang Kaitai's hands are put together, they should be like the moon in the dark night, but now they can't see the difference at all.
It's all because not long ago, she was sold to a quarry and exposed to the sun for a few days, and it was already so dark.
Li Bai suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, when she was in Xiangmanlou, although she could not be called the best beauty, she was still a lovely person with white skin and beautiful appearance.
But the current state can only be regarded as a blur of everyone.
Thinking of Song Beibei's white and tender appearance again, what did she do to compete with Song Beibei?
Maybe Shen Zhao treated her like this because she wasn't good-looking?
Yang Kaitai saw that Li Bai stretched out his hand and retracted it, and asked puzzledly, "White girl, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this ginseng? ”
Li Bai shook his head and looked at his hand with a wry smile: "No, I just think I'm so dark and ugly now......"
Li Bai raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yang Kaitai pitifully, "General Yang, am I very ugly?" ”
Yang Kaitai couldn't help blushing when he glanced at her, and laughed twice: "Of course it's not ugly!" You are the most beautiful in my heart! ”
Libai smiled bitterly: "General Yang doesn't need to comfort me, everyone in the world thinks that a woman's skin is like clotted fat is beautiful, what am I?" ”
General Yang smirked: "I don't care about this, and no matter how black it is, it's whiter than me." ”
"General Yang fights every day, exposed to the wind and sun, that's why it's like this, I'm a woman, and I'm so ......"
Yang Kaitai hurriedly comforted her: "White girl, you really don't have to care about this!" You're beautiful! And you are sunburned, and you are not born, I have heard others say that as long as you use any pearl powder, you can quickly restore your previous complexion. ”
Libai nodded, this is also true.
She smiled bitterly again: "But I don't have much money on me, and that pearl powder is a valuable thing......
Yang Kaitai immediately put the ginseng on the table: "I'll go buy pearl powder for you." ”
With that, he hurried away.
Li Bai looked at his back and hooked the corners of his lips slightly.
It feels so good to be sought after by men.
But just with pearl powder, it's still too slow.
When she was in Xiangmanlou before, she learned a lot of secrets to maintain a good complexion, and one of them had the fastest effect.
It's the use of mothers. Milk scrubbing.
Li Bai suddenly thought that it seemed that the eldest sister who had been taking care of her had just given birth not long after giving birth.
She immediately went and called the eldest sister over.
Li Bai subconsciously glanced at the eldest sister's chest and asked, "Eldest sister, I have amnesia, I don't know what your name is?" ”
"The white girl used to call me Sister Lin."
Libai nodded: "Sister Lin, your child shouldn't have been weaned yet, right?" ”
Sister Lin was stunned for a moment: "How did the white girl know?" ”
"I can smell your milk."
Sister Lin smiled embarrassedly: "Indeed, my son is only half a year old and is still breastfeeding. ”
Libai hooked her lips: "Sister Lin, you sell me your milk." ”
Sister Lin's face suddenly turned pale: "White girl, I am not a subordinate who has signed a deed of sale, my father-in-law was originally an official of the post house, I am here to serve you, it was ordered by Lord Shen, please don't despise me so much!" ”
Li Bai felt funny in his heart, the next person is the next person, why are you pretending to be so backbone?
But in the end, this is the person Shen Zhao found, and Libai still has to be more or less polite to her.
She clasped her palms with both hands.
"Sister Lin, I didn't mean to belittle you, and I didn't want this thing to belittle you, but to save my life."
Sister Lin was puzzled: "Help?" ”
Libai nodded: "Well, when you went to boil medicine before, the imperial doctor said that I had a fever and burned my brain, and I had to use people. Milk can only save lives when it is used as medicine. If it weren't for this medicine, I probably wouldn't have lived long. ”
Sister Lin really hesitated.
Li Bai turned around again, took out ten taels of silver from the dresser, and stuffed it into Sister Lin's hand: "Sister Lin, I won't use you in vain, you give it to me once a day, one bowl at a time is enough, I'll give you ten taels of silver." ”
Li Bai can see that Sister Lin loves money very much, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the money last time and would have helped me make an appointment with General Yang...... Although it was about the wrong person.
Sister Lin hesitated for a moment, but sure enough, she agreed, and she accepted the money: "Okay." ”
Libai despised her even more in her heart, and kept saying that she didn't despise herself, and she didn't just do things after collecting money?
This kind of person is completely inferior to these Qinglou women, at least the Qinglou women are real, love money is love money, and they won't find any high-sounding reasons!
……
Early the next morning, Sister Lin went to find Libai with a bowl of white liquid.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Yang Kaitai ran over in a hurry, and walked to Sister Lin's side without stopping.
Sister Lin's elbow was taken by him, and with a "snap", a bowl of hard work was spilled on the ground.
Sister Lin looked at the ground and said uncomfortably: "I squeezed all night......"
The smell of milk dispersed, Yang Kaitai understood what this was, and hurriedly scratched his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my child is starving." ”
Sister Lin frowned: "This is not for my son, if it is for my son, it doesn't matter if he is hungry for a meal or two, this is for others, I have collected other people's money, and now I can't take it out, what should I do?" ”
Yang Kaitai was stunned for a moment, dare to love this woman for selling her child's food?
He was most disgusted with this kind of unscrupulous woman for money, and his tone was a little harsh: "My ancestors were poor for three generations, but they still worked hard to survive with their own hands, and they would never do this kind of self-deprecating work!" But you want to sell such things to others, do you have a mother like you?! ”
Sister Lin's face turned slightly pale, this person had spilled all his hard work, he didn't apologize, and even blamed her in turn?
She couldn't bear this breath, and asked Yang Kaitai sharply: "If I was just poor and had a man around me to take care of me, I would naturally not do this kind of work, but my husband is dead, and I want to support the children alone!" General Yang doesn't understand other people's sufferings, so don't talk nonsense! Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back! ”
When Yang Kaitai heard this, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart: "You...... Your husband has died? How did he die? ”
Sister Lin saw that his tone softened, and she was not so tough.
She squatted down and picked up the debris on the ground, while explaining with a crying voice: "When I was just pregnant with a child, my father-in-law repaired the roof of the post house, but I didn't expect to fall down and die, and now I am alone with the child, what should I do if I don't make money?" And I'm willing to sell this, not just to make money, this is what the white girl wants! ”
