Chapter 331 Scarlet Carmine

Born from the heart, these four words do not make sense, with a good-looking skin, but a femme fatale, such a person is simply more ugly than ugly! I am a ghostly man, a man who is not good-looking, but has a very beautiful heart, and immediately begins our story "Blood Carmine"!

People who often surf the Internet have probably heard of the "Four Great Evil Arts in Asia", among which the most powerful in our country is makeup, just use some cosmetics, you can make the old look young, the ugly become beautiful, and even the man can make up as a woman, as long as you don't open your mouth, then you can really tell me from male and female!

A hundred years ago, cosmetics were not as diverse as they are now, but women generally put some rouge on their faces, and this rouge became one of the few cosmetics commonly used by women at that time.

After applying rouge, a woman's face will show a healthy red, but that thing is used too much to the skin is very harmful, and later because of the admiration of no makeup, rouge is rarely used, even if there is, it is not used on people, most of them are used to make some ragdoll dolls and the like.

What we want to say is that when rouge was most popular, just like women now often like to compare their bags, jewelry, clothes and other things, those women will sit together and talk about their own clothes.

The quality of rouge is also from two aspects, namely color and taste.

The color is pure, not easy to fade, does not hurt the skin, looks natural, and it does not look like painting on the peeling wall skin, which is good rouge.

In addition, the taste of rouge is required to be fresh and natural, not too strong, and not too light.

The price of a good rouge is also naturally expensive, which can be used as a standard to show off wealth.

On this day, a few rich girls were bored, and they took their little maids to gather in the gazebo by the lake.

Even if they are all rich people, there will naturally be a distinction between high and low, and the richest people among the few people who gather are none other than Lin Huaiyu, the daughter of the Lin family's pawnshop, and Jin Manying, the eldest lady of Jinding Qianzhuang.

The two families have opened a pawnshop and a money bank, and their wealth is comparable, and they have been fighting for wealth since their ancestors until now.

Now their daughter inherits the "fine tradition" of her ancestors and begins to show off her wealth, and the two girls will be punctual every time they get together, but today the party time has passed for a long time, but they have not seen the arrival of Jin Manying, the eldest lady of Jinding Qianzhuang.

The flattering person slapped the eldest lady of the Lin family's pawnshop and said, it must be that Jin Manying learned that Lin Huaiyu got a precious rouge that can attract butterflies to watch, and sighed that it was better not to come!

The ladies who supported Jin Manying on the side also immediately retorted that what can attract butterflies is just some cheesy things, so Miss Jin disdains it, and she will definitely bring more expensive things!

Just when the two groups were arguing, Miss Jin came in a sedan chair, only to see her dressed in red brocade and wearing a golden crown and jade hairpin on her head, and slowly walked towards the pavilion of the party with the support of the maid on the side, and her grace and luxury were undoubtedly revealed!

"What kind of smell is this, and it has attracted so many moths, they are almost choking to death, Xiao Cui quickly sprinkle some of my ice jade rouge to drive away these moths, and by the way, cool down the sisters!"

Jin Manying deliberately said that butterflies were moths, and she had already made Miss Lin and others popular, so she couldn't hold back her anger, and at the same time she was very curious, what is this ice jade rouge that Jin Manying is talking about?

Under the curious gaze of a group of ladies and maids, the golden maid Xiaocui carefully took out a small wooden box from the small bag in her hand, the box looked ordinary, no different from an ordinary rouge box, but the moment the lid was opened, everyone felt a strange fragrance, accompanied by a burst of coolness!

In such a hot summer, there can be such a cool and fragrant thing, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the pores of the whole body all feel considerate and comfortable.

As soon as this box of ice jade rouge appeared, it had already been recognized by everyone, and it was meaningless to compare it again, and he couldn't resist the resistance to this peculiar rouge, even Lin Huaiyu put down the shelf and called Jin Manying her sister, asking her where she bought this rouge from.

Asked about the origin of the rouge, Miss Jin couldn't help but show some panic, but quickly stabilized her mood and said: "This rouge is a rare and genuine product, and it was given by a friend who is in charge of the palace, so it can't be bought for any amount of silver in a small shop in the market."

After listening to Jin Manying's answer, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but after fighting with Jin Manying for so long, she knew Jin Manying very well, and seeing her performance just now, she could guess that she must be lying!

Since Jin Manying said this, Lin Huaiyu didn't want to ask more, this party made her lose the limelight, and she didn't stay long before leaving.

Because of this incident, Lin Huaiyu's mood has been very low recently, and he has not gone out, but has been idle at home all day long to play piano embroidery.

On this day, Lin Huaiyu was embroidering a handkerchief in front of the window, when he suddenly heard a shouting sound from outside the door, and the person who was shouting turned out to be selling "Ice Jade Rouge"!

Thinking of the feeling of fragrance and coolness, Lin Huaiyu put down the embroidery in his hand and beckoned the maid to hurry up and call the merchant.

It didn't take long for the merchant to be brought to Lin Huaiyu, Miss Lin looked the merchant up and down, he was not very old, he was about twenty years old, although he was wearing coarse rags, but he looked clean and neat, giving people a good impression.

The merchant pays great attention to etiquette, and as soon as he enters the door, he bends down to salute Miss Lin, and takes out his own ice jade rouge, and at the moment when the rouge box is opened, the familiar and comfortable coolness and fragrance instantly hit!

Lin Huaiyu closed her eyes, smelled the fragrance for a long time before opening her eyes, and asked how much rouge she had, regardless of the price, all of them were left for her!

The merchant waved his hand and said, "Miss, I only give away this ice jade rouge and don't sell it, I can give one to Miss, but I can't leave it all for you."

Miss Lin saw that the merchant had a tough attitude, and it was not good to force too much, so she accepted a gift from the merchant, and when she left, Lin Huaiyu and the merchant discussed whether they could supply this kind of rouge for themselves for a long time, but the merchant smiled and said, such a box is enough!

In fact, as the merchant said, that box of rouge Lin Huaiyu has been used for a long time, and it has not decreased much, it seems that it has always been so much.

Not long after, Lin Huaiyu, who used the ice jade rouge, went to the party again, this time not to show off his wealth, but because he was bored, he just met the little sisters of the past.

She found that Jin Manying did not come this time, and when she asked, she found out that she had died of illness at home two days ago, and she blamed herself for not even knowing such a major event because of her low mood recently.

Miss Jin had been fighting with herself for so long, and when she suddenly got the news of her death, she didn't feel a sense of joy, but a trace of loss, as if she had lost a lot of things at once.

Recently, Lin Huaiyu felt as if she was sick, her whole body was chilling all the time, no matter how warm the room was, she was shivering all the time, and within a few days, she became haggard and died at home.
