"Thanks to the sincere teachings of the nine ladies, the little girl has benefited a lot. Give this gift to each other, and please don't dislike the nine ladies. ”

Xiao Xiuqing didn't take the thing in her hand, her face was full of disgust, and she ignored it: "Hmph, this lady has never seen anything valuable, what do you want to do with this broken box?" ”

She smiled and deftly opened the octagonal box, which turned out to be a white, slippery, fragrant makeup powder.

She said softly: "Jiu Niangzi, this is the little girl's homemade Bai Ze pearl powder, not like the ordinary makeup powder on the market, the little girl takes the natural motherwort and white jasmine kernels in the deep mountains of Qilian to refine, and then uses the wild mussel powder in the Qinghe River as the ointment, the powder of this makeup powder is more delicate and smooth, not easy to sticky, and under the sun, the makeup surface will also slightly flash with pearlescent color, bright and translucent. Would the Nine Lady be willing to give it a try? ”

How can a woman in this world not love beauty! Xiao Xiuqing's eyes were burning, and she hurriedly sat down in front of the bronze mirror makeup box on the side, and jumped to give it a try.

But after a while, Yao Yun personally painted the makeup for her. Her skin is whiter and more delicate, and it can be broken by blowing. And against the backdrop of the light, the slight pearlescent light flickered, and it was really much better than the makeup powder in the best rouge shop in Chang'an.

For these noble and proud little ladies in the noble mansion, it must be right to hold them high and flatter them. Xiao Xiuqing was coaxed by her to smile, and even got the limited Bai Ze pearl powder that Chang'an ladies can't buy at present, and when she left, she enthusiastically pulled her arm, and she was still a little reluctant.

After sending away the big Buddha of the Xiao family's Jiuniang, Yao Yun's beautiful eyes became deeper and deeper, and her heart had mixed tastes.

The old lady Zhou was sitting in front of the hall at this time, her eyes gloomy. Mother Liu had already told her how Xiuqing, who had always been arrogant, ran into the Hidden Moon Pavilion in a hurry, and how she left that place with a smile on her face and intimacy and pleasure.

This Yao Yun seems to have some means than she imagined, it seems that Yao Niangzi has been cultivating her carefully and has lived up to that person's trust. She thought about it, and it seemed that she had to find a justifiable way to keep her in the mansion.

She asked in a deep voice, "Mother Liu, what do you think of Mrs. Yao?" ”

Liu's mother grew up with her and married, and she is the most loyal and strategic.

Mother Liu stood beside her and replied truthfully: "Knowing people well, thoughtful, and humble, you can keep them." ”

The old lady bowed slightly, quite agreeing: "How can I keep her?" ”

"Madam, from ancient times to the present, the contract between in-laws is the strongest."

The old lady smiled, but shook her head with some regret: "It's a pity that she became a widow at a young age, otherwise she could have found a good family for her in the mansion." ”

Mother Li approached her and whispered a few words behind her ear.

The old lady pondered for a moment, her brow relaxed, and finally nodded in agreement. She ordered Liu's mother to handle this matter in person, which can be regarded as solving a difficult matter in the big house.

Shen Chaoyun originally deliberately asked Xiao Xiuqing to test Yao Niangzi's attitude, and extinguished her prestige by the way, so that she didn't dare to have the slightest wishful thinking. I never thought that Jiu Niang returned to the house with joy, praised the newly obtained pearl makeup powder in her hand endlessly, and kept saying good things for that Yao Niangzi.

Shen Chaoyun was secretly frightened, this Yao Yun was really a little powerful.

Good news soon came from the Boundless Bookstore. As soon as the picture of the beauty under the moon was consigned, the boundless bookstore suddenly became famous and came to watch this masterpiece. Many dignitaries and dignitaries bid high prices for this painting, and finally the final word was 970 yuan. Yao Yun earned the first pot of gold in Chang'an City.

The shopkeeper of Boundless Bookstore is even more fond and envious of Yao Yun, a little Langjun, and can't wait to hold him in the palm of his hand to take care of him, just begging him to send paintings over often.

Yao Yun is well aware of the truth that rare things are precious, and the reason why Mr. Pillow Shi's paintings are precious is not only because of the exquisite and unique techniques of the paintings. It is also because the number of Mr. Pillow Stone's paintings is rare and rare.

She is not in a hurry or greedy at all, she sells one or two paintings of Mr. Pillow Stone a year, plus the imitation paintings she made of famous artists in the former dynasty, and by the way, there is also a rouge shop business in Liangzhou, which is enough for the three of them to live a rich and happy life for a year.

On the sixth day of September, when the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, Xiao Chengyu, the sixth master of the Xiao family, finally returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.

The old lady was very excited, and a few days earlier, she had ordered someone to prepare a few tables of dust washing banquets in the front yard, and the whole house was ready to welcome the sixth master back to the house in triumph.

Yao Yun is a distant relative of the old lady Zhou's side, so naturally she is not invited, and she is happy to be at ease. But they are also a little happy, today's meal is extraordinarily rich, there are roast chicken and duck in Rongchang Building on East Street, and five-color pastries in Qi Fangzhai in the bell tower in the west, Ah Wei and Ah Mao are all eating with relish.

Before nightfall, the lively sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard and the noise of the crowd came to an abrupt end. Yao Yun was still a little puzzled, why did this dust washing banquet end so early.

"Yun Niang, I'm angry, I'm angry......"

Yao Yun could hear Xiao Xiuqing's complaints and anger from afar, and she often came to the Hidden Moon Pavilion to talk to her recently.

"Why is the feast over so early? Who annoyed our Jiuniang? ”

Xiao Xiuqing casually threw a few objects on the marble table, sat down by herself, supported her chin with one hand, and said arrogantly: "Hmph, my sixth uncle is really incomprehensible, extremely indifferent, no wonder he can only be a widower for so many years." Grandmother Fang Cai told him about the continuation of the string in a kind voice, and he actually went back to the house with a cold face, and he didn't even give Her Royal Highness the face of the princess! ”

"Princess, what does this have to do with the princess?" She asked curiously, and poured a cup of warm tea for her.

"Yun Niang, you don't know. I heard that my sixth uncle had saved the life of Princess Yong'an in Yizhou, and Princess Yong'an was over twenty-five years old now, and she happened to be widowed, so she privately sent her grandmother to find out her grandmother's tone. I never thought that before my grandmother finished speaking, the sixth uncle brushed his face and left, and the banquet broke up unhappily. ”

Yong'an princess Li Yulan is the sister of today's saints, talented, courageous, and kind to others, I heard that the world calls her "the wisdom of the Heavenly Holy Emperor, and the ambition of the Heavenly Holy Emperor without it", and is quite famous in the court and the people.

"That's it, don't mention the princess. And the sixth uncle hasn't returned home for many years, so he actually gave me a bunch of calligraphy, painting, books and silks. I was really angry that I didn't bring back any rouge gouache and authentic food. ”

Yao Yun coaxed her softly, picked up the calligraphy and painting scrolls scattered on the table, and her eyes lit up.

At the bottom of the scroll there was a stack of white silk brocade. She kneaded it gently, the gray silk has few impurities, the line is neat, the materials are high-quality, it is a precious silk brocade specially used for painting, and she suddenly has some itchy hands.
