Chapter 509 Makeup Gifts

During breakfast, the family members noticed that Lin Wanwan's swollen eyes hadn't recovered, and they were very concerned.

Xiao Qingyu raised her head and asked Lin Wanwan: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Wanwan rubbed her little head and said, "Mother was blown into her eyes by the snow outside."

"Ah, why doesn't the baby get blown into the eyes by the snow?" The little guy has reached the age where he always talks to death.

"Because you are powerful, you are the most powerful!"

Today, the servants of the entire Lin residence are very cautious, because the head of the family, Mr. Le'an, is in a bad mood.

Even Xiao Yixun has become much more well-behaved, and Xiao Qingyu's animal army huddled up quietly without making any noise.

In the warm pavilion, Lin Wanwan was writing with Xiao Qingyu, copying the copybook that Xiao Chong wrote for her.

The ground outside was frozen, Lin Wanwan didn't let Xiao Qingyu go out to play wildly, and was confined to write big characters at home.

As long as Lin Wanwan is willing to accompany her, Xiao Qingyu doesn't mind writing.

The sky and the earth are quiet, and you can even hear the sound of snow melting on the branches outside the window.

Lin Wanwan's heart calmed down under Xiao Qingyu's comfort. Such a small person gave her infinite strength.

After practicing calligraphy, Xiao Qingyu couldn't sit still, so Lin Wanwan simply took her to choose New Year's greetings for each family.

Lin Wanwan prepared two sets of quilted brocade robes for Xiao Chong, Dugu Dian, Xiao Ce, and doctor Chen Liang in the county yamen.The cotton comes from Lin's workshop, and the ready-made clothes come from the tailor shop she bought in Xiaoxi Town.

In addition to clothes, foodie Xiao Chong's favorite food is of course indispensable.

Lin Wanwan "received" the goods twice from the wild wharf, dragged them into Lin's mansion in a grandiose manner, and then there were cherries and sugar oranges as New Year gifts for Xiao Chong, as well as sunflowers and peanuts she had grown in the greenhouse .

Stir-fried melon seeds and peanuts with salt and pepper are absolutely casual and delicious.

Lin Wanwan not only gave gifts to Xiao Chong, but also to every family in Xiaoxi Town.

Apart from these people, the most important annual gift was prepared for Qiantang's family.

In addition to the New Year's ceremony, there is also a need to prepare makeup for the Xiao family's big family twin sisters.

Both of them are engaged, and the makeup ceremony is scheduled for the same day, which is the day after tomorrow.

Lin Wanwan's gift to them was "luxury" in the Tang Dynasty. It was an antique copper mirror for each of them.

The original is a normal mirror on one side and a triple magnifying glass on the other.

Lin Wanwan felt that the double-sided mirror was too advanced and rare, so she refitted the triple magnified mirror and turned it into a Su embroidery work, embroidering the peony (peony flower), which is the favorite of Tang noblewomen.

For a bronze mirror with a refined copper base, Lin Wanwan only spent 110 yuan to buy one in modern times.As for Suzhou embroidery, it was produced by the embroiderer in her own embroidery workshop, and it didn't cost much.

The embroiderer's monthly salary of [-] yuan and extra business rewards are completely negligible to Lin Wanwan.

After all, whether it is sold through a silk and satin clothing store, or directly sold as a high-end boutique in modern times, the profit will be thousands of times.

I chose to change the triple magnified side of the mirror to Suzhou embroidery, on the one hand to reduce the technological content of this mirror, and on the other hand to better highlight Lin Wanwan's intentions in preparing gifts.

Just looking at it, you can tell that the diorama has been carefully reformed, but it is not just throwing money at people, it is too vulgar.

On the day of the make-up ceremony for the twin sisters Xiao Shulian and Xiao Liwei, the climax was when the servant in charge of gift registration reported Lin Wanwan's make-up ceremony.

As soon as Liulijing was reported, it caused a sensation, and the news quickly spread up and down Qiantang.

From ancient times to the present, gossip in noble families has always been the most talked about topic in the market.

As long as there are lower-level servants, there are no complete secrets in the mansion.

What's more, it is the face of the master's family to spread this kind of thing, and naturally there is no reason to stop the servants from discussing it.

After the world's first exquisite mirror appeared in Italy in 1507, it immediately caused a sensation throughout Europe and became a fashionable item that everyone in the upper class competed for at that time.

The Carpenter Tan mirror that Lin Wanwan took out at the Ge Xian Temple polo field last time only caused some discussion in the small circle of upper-class women.

Because Lin Wanwan didn't hang out with these little girls afterwards, but directly became the younger disciple of Mr. Sun Simiao, and went around Mr. Sun, so the news about the mirror didn't spread too widely.

And this time, as a makeup gift for the two young ladies of the Xiao family, the two glazed mirrors will naturally attract many of their sociable little sisters to come and see.

As a result, the news about the glazed mirror became more and more widespread, and many noble ladies sent people to the merchants in the Western Regions to find out where there was a glazed mirror.

But how could they find it?

According to history, it took more than 800 years for mercury and tinfoil mirrors to be manufactured in the world. It is no wonder that Western Region merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty to trade can get this kind of glazed mirror.

In this time and space, only Lin Wanwan can make glass mirrors, but Lin Wanwan doesn't want to do it.

It is enough for her to buy a few noodles in modern times to make personal favors, glass, soap, perfume, wine, these epoch-making profiteering industries, she does not want to get involved in any of them for the time being.

As Lin Wanwan pretending to be the granddaughter of the Xiao family, giving her some gifts that are easy for her to do to the Xiao family is considered as a reward.

She prepared four bronze mirrors of this kind, one for each of the four sisters of the Xiao family.

Although Lin Wanwan has the best relationship with Xiao Xianghua, she doesn't want to favor one over the other when it comes to the make-up ceremony.

Because every gift for the dowry ceremony will be reported and registered on the spot, and will become part of the woman’s dowry, which is completely open (the dowry list is needed in a divorce lawsuit, and there are divorce lawsuits in the Tang Dynasty), the so-called no worries Why should she do it if she is few and suffers from inequality?

She has a close relationship with Xiao Xianghua, if you want to give her an extra gift, you can just send it in the daily correspondence with her, why make a fuss at the make-up ceremony.

With Lin Wanwan's generosity in the Xiao family's make-up ceremony this time, she will not be afraid even if the Xiao family's real granddaughter shows up in the future. Presumably the Xiao family will try their best to protect her at that time.

It might not even be recognized if the real granddaughter is down and out.

After all, Lin Wanwan's current status as Le'an Township Lord, as well as her incomparable wealth, are a great help to a branch of the Xiao family that has been separated.

As long as people are useful to others, they will never be given up.If it is useless, even close relatives may not be reliable.

Why does Mother Xiao have the highest voice in the Xiao family, relying solely on the brainwashing of "filial piety first"?
The bigger reason is that most of their Xiao family's property in Qiantang is held by the old lady, and the old lady's own dowry property is used to supplement the family.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in modern times, old people with pensions and those without pensions are treated differently with their children.
