Chapter 27 Advertise well and settle in the house
Only then did Nie Guifei have the heart to take a closer look at the old lady's face, and at first glance it didn't seem to have changed much, but her skin looked a little moisturized. After a closer look, I found that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were a lot less, and her face looked ruddy.
"This ......" Nie Guifei was a little pleased, turned her head to look at Ji Man and said, "Is it Sang Yu's credit?"
Ji Man smiled slightly, and the old lady nodded and said, "No, this young girl doesn't dress up herself, and she goes to me every day to take care of my face, but she is more serious than Shouwu Angelica." What kind of ointment and mask are fooling my old face, not to mention, it really has some effect. ”
Nie Guifei was interested, and propped up slightly to get the purple-gold box in Ji Man's baggage.
"This is the alabaster that is all the rage outside, Sang Yu gave the old lady and brought you a box, which is better than any precious powder, and it doesn't hurt your face. Ji Man was like a salesman, watching the alabaster finish the introduction, and then picked up a silkworm weave in his hand: "This is called a mask, I made two kinds of hydrating and moisturizing and whitening and wrinkle removal, ten pieces each, I have tried it on the maid's face, the effect is not bad, and the old lady has also used some." Next to these are condensation with a natural aroma. ”
"Hydration... Nie Guifei was a little dazed, Ji Man smiled slightly, looked at her very heavy face, and said: "If my aunt believes in Sang Yu, let's try it, let someone fetch water to clean your face, and Sang Yu will use a whitening and wrinkle removal for you first, and see the effect." ”
Ji Man brought so many products this time, naturally for a purpose. Rouge shops are now also starting to introduce face masks as a set product. However, the cost is too expensive, the price is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, so they have to do some publicity.
The best publicity is not to say that this is something used by the palace mother.
Nie Guifei hesitated again and again, although she was a little worried about her face, but she thought that Sang Yu would not harm her, so she happily let the book fetch water and wash off the fat powder on her face.
With this wash, the fine lines on the face were even more obvious, Sang Yu confessed, stepped forward to take a closer look, unfolded the mask, and carefully pasted it on Nie Guifei's face.
Nie Guifei only felt a burst of coldness, and her face was covered with a layer of things, although she was a little uncomfortable, but after a while, she actually felt very comfortable.
"For a quarter of an hour, you can take a nap. Jiman whispered.
Nie Guifei bowed her head and really closed her eyes and rested. She's also tired these days.
The old lady sat on the side, and watched Ji Man carefully smooth out the folds of the mask on Nie Guifei's face, and then sat on the soft couch and watched quietly.
This child has really changed a lot, looking at it from the perspective of this old woman, she feels that her side face is much more charming than before, but Xuan'er's heart has been trapped by the wild girl of the Wen family, and it is even more difficult for Sang Yu to regain the position of the main room.
After the mask, Ji Man applied alabaster to Nie Guifei again, and repainted her eyebrows and lips with her own skills.
This face looks better, the pores will not be clogged by these ancient rough cosmetics, and it is also great for the skin. Ji Man looked at Nie Guifei's surprised face with a smile, and gave her all the remaining mask bags with the Shui Ji rouge paving seal.
"Hold a book. Nie Guifei kept touching her face, and after the mask, it was obviously a lot whiter, and her skin was as white as jade after using alabaster cream, and the effect was too obvious, she was really happy, and said directly: "Give the emperor to the pair of gold bracelets that are entwined with branches and flowers in the palace to Sang Yu, as well as the ruby hairpin!"
Holding the book, he sighed, seeing that his master was rarely smiling so happily, he was also happy in his heart, and he stuffed it into Sang Yu's arms after holding something.
Sang Yu knelt down and saluted to thank her, this business was worth it, twenty masks and a box of alabaster and a few bottles of condensation lotion were exchanged for such a valuable bracelet hairpin, so happy that her eyes narrowed, and the little abacus in her heart crackled.
When the old lady saw that the concubine was happy, she talked to her for a while and persuaded her to explain. When she left, Nie Guifei glanced at Sang Yu deeply and said, "I always feel that this child has grown up." ”
Sang Yu smiled and made the etiquette thorough, and followed the old lady to the carriage back home.
Nie Sangyu caused Nie Guifei to fall out of favor and the entire Moyu Marquis Mansion knew about it, so when she came back with the reward, everyone was a little surprised.
Even if it is an aunt and nephew, Nie Guifei is not so generous, right? But the family who came back with him said that it was the gift brought by Master Sang that moved the concubine, Qi Siling thought for a while, and said to the girl next to her: "Go and inquire, what did she give to the concubine?"
The instructions of each yard were similar, so the little girls came to chat with Alfalfa.
Alfalfa pretended not to know their purpose, and did not hide anything, so he said that Master Sang gave him rouge gouache from Shui Ji on Yongning Street.
At that moment, the girls who left the house all went to the rouge shop, and the mask was made by Ji Man for a month of idleness. There is silkworm weaving here, which is very similar to the texture of modern facial masks, but the cost is expensive, and it can be produced in large quantities if there is capital, so Shui Ji is in stock.
As soon as the news spread, I heard that Concubine Nie in the palace had regained her favor, and the emperor slept in her palace for five consecutive days, but the eyes of the other concubines were red. When I asked what was the secret? Everyone answered, Shui Ji rouge shop.
This time I was busy with the water lady, and somehow there were people in the palace who came to buy things, and it was not good not to sell it, but the alabaster was not in stock, and the reservation was seven days later, so I could only take the mask.
Fortunately, the mask goods can be supplied, and the people in the palace are not too expensive, and Shui Ji has a lot of silver in the account.
Seeing that the business was on track, Ji Man turned his gaze to the mansion with confidence.
When she came back from the palace that day, she went to Ning Yuxuan, held the jade pendant to him and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for borrowing the jade, Concubine Nie is very satisfied with Sang Yu, and Sang Yu will come to pay the errand." ”
At that moment, the light in Mo Yuhou's eyes was very sharp, as if he wanted to see through her. But just for a moment, Ning Yuxuan returned to his normal cold expression, looked at her deeply and said, "It's unthinkable that you will return it to me." ”
"Master Hou is not something he really wants to give, and it is not interesting for the slave to take it. Ji Man bowed slightly, then turned to leave.
After following the gaze behind her for a long time, Ji Man knew that this Hou Ye must feel that her brain was in water, and she didn't want a flat wife, and preferred to be a concubine.
However, Ji Man knows that the faster she climbs, the more painful it will be to fall, and now that there is a Mu Shuiqing as a target, she won't join in the fun.
Wen Wan and Hou Ye had a cold war for two days, but Hou Ye relented first, and said that Mu Shuiqing would give birth to a child for Wen Wan, and he had no intention of promoting Mu Shuiqing's position.
Mu Shuiqing felt aggrieved and ran to the old lady to cry. The old lady didn't react, but taught her that the child had not been born yet, so it was better to toss less.
Such a cold reception is even more terrible than before pregnancy, where can Mu Shuiqing stand it, so she locked herself in her room and started a hunger strike.
"Take it all!" With a sweep of his sleeves and the splash of tea, Mu Shuiqing sat in the room with red eyes and waved his hand in disgust at a table of dishes.
Banxia didn't dare to persuade, so she could only wipe her tears and clean up the house, and as soon as she finished cleaning up, she saw a person stepping in at the door.
Ji Man walked in as if no one was around, sat down at the table and began to eat Mu Shuiqing's meal.
Because she was taking care of her pregnant body, the dishes in the kitchen were still well prepared, there were meat and vegetables, and the soup was also chicken soup.
"What are you doing here?!" Mu Shuiqing screamed sharply in her voice.
Ji Man glanced back at her and said softly, "Master Qing, don't waste it." ”
Mu Shuiqing was so angry that she couldn't do it: "I won't eat and it won't be your turn to eat, why did you come to my yard!"
Ji Man took a chicken leg and turned his head to look at the alfalfa. Alfalfa understood, pulled Banxia and went out to close the door.
"You don't want your child anymore?" asked Jiman.
Mu Shuiqing frowned, but she was very deflated when she mentioned this topic: "You're right, no one is rare with the child in my belly, everyone wants me to die, what's the use of wanting this child?"
Ji Man snorted lightly: "Who made you a geisha." ”
"You!" she never liked to hear people say this, so she immediately picked up the pillow and threw it at Ji Man.
Da Song's pillows sat firmly, and Ji Man didn't have eyes behind him, so he smashed a big bag for her without paying attention.
Mu Shuiqing was startled, she didn't expect that she would lose control for a while, and her arrogance suddenly decreased, and she looked at her a little stunned.
"Is it comfortable?" Ji Man was not annoyed, he just touched the bag on the back of his head, and his eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly: "You still expect Hou Ye to protect you? ”
Mu Shuiqing didn't say anything, probably because she was afraid that Ji Man would sue her, and she would be honest in an instant.
"When you're calm, just listen to me. Ji Man squinted at her and said: "Your hopes in this life are in your stomach, don't be angry with others, you are the only one who suffers." What's wrong with holding it to your wife, the child is still your own bones, and you will be filial to you in the future. It's better to have an heir than if you were helpless for the rest of your life, right?"
How does this sound like it's good for her? Mu Shuiqing was stunned, but her heart calmed down. Although this child is rare, if it is gone, it is also a matter of relatives and enemies, why is she so stupid.
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it. Mu Shuiqing lowered her head and hugged her stomach and said, "I am helpless, and only Aunt Ling occasionally protects me." But now that Madame hates me, she will certainly not help me anymore. ”
When Wen Wan wanted a child the most, she conceived a child before her, don't you hate who she hates?Ji Man sighed and said, "You don't know, this heroine... This lady is a kind-hearted person, otherwise she would not be able to be Mrs. Hou. She is angry, but she won't hurt you, you just need to guard against others. ”
Mu Shuiqing thought for a while, and felt that what she said was right, how could Madame's weak temperament hurt people, she might as well worry about Aunt Xue.
But...... Raising his eyes vigilantly at the person in front of him, Mu Shuiqing asked, "What are your intentions?"
