beauty heart thorn

Chapter 50 The road is narrow
June was unbearably hot.

As soon as the sun rose in the morning, it was so hot that people were sweating.

Chun'er filled the ice cubes to the brim, looked at the sun outside, and said, "It's too hot today!"

Gu Mingzhu was wearing a goose-yellow dress with light blue sleeves, purple gauze hanging down her waist, half-tied hair accessories, and pearl earrings shaking slowly with her movements.

Gu Mingzhu rolled up her sleeves, picked up the newly bought inkstone, poured some water, and began to study the ink, saying: "June is very hot, Jiangling is not south and north, and the summer is hot and the winter is cold, which is the most uncomfortable."

The black ink quickly stained the inkstone, she picked up the brush and started copying on the copybook.

Gu Mingzhu practiced patiently with every stroke, and practiced like this for more than an hour, when the servant at the door came to report that Miss Yue's family had come to the door.

Gu Mingzhu had just put down her pen when she heard the news and greeted her with a green lotus umbrella.

As soon as he left the hospital, he saw Yue Jingshu approaching with a smile on the opposite side. Seeing her, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Pearl."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Why is my sister free to come and look for me today?"

Yue Jingshu said: "A horse of rouge and gouache came to Miaofang Pavilion, I want you to go and have a look with me."

Gu Mingzhu asked: "Miaofang Pavilion, but the largest rouge and gouache shop in Jiangling?"

When the two of them said this, they had already entered the Lost Taoyuan

Yue Jingshu said: "Exactly. Today the shopkeeper came to inform me that a few boxes of high-quality rouge and gouache came in from Danzhou, and let me go quickly."

Gu Mingzhu had nothing to do with her left and right, and said, "Sister, wait for me to wash my hands, the calligraphy was stained with ink just now."

The two got into the carriage and rushed to the location of Miaofang Pavilion.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a carriage was also parked on the opposite side, the two of them didn't care, and went in hand in hand.

When the shopkeeper of Miaofang Pavilion saw Yue Jingshu, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Yue, you are here. A lot of people have come to the shop just now and asked me to dismiss them."

Yue Jingshu smiled and said, "I'm sorry shopkeeper, where are the things?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Follow me."

The two of them followed him around a row of cabinets. The shopkeeper took a wooden box half the size of a table from the shelf, put it on the table and opened it. Inside were two white porcelain bottles and two boxes of makeup powder.

The shopkeeper said: "A few days ago, Ms. Yue specifically told me to keep two copies. I just pushed the Bai family back."

Gu Mingzhu followed Yue Jingshu forward, approached and said, "Sister, what is this?"

Yue Jingshu opened one of the porcelain vases, and a faint scent of flowers penetrated into her heart, which actually quenched the enthusiasm in her heart.

Yue Jingshu said: "This is Danzhou's beauty cream. I only get a few bottles in half a year. I specially reserved two bottles. You and I each have one bottle. This is a good product. Long-term use will make your face more beautiful."

"So amazing?" Gu Mingzhu sniffed, "It smells good..."

Yue Jingshu handed the porcelain vase to Gu Mingzhu, took out a silver ticket, and said, "The shopkeeper..."

"Where is the shopkeeper?" A clear female voice came from the door.

Gu Mingzhu put down the porcelain bottle.

A girl with a round face came in, saw the three of them, and said to the outside: "Miss, they are here."

Soon a woman walked in from the outside, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light green lotus leaf gauze skirt, flying clouds into the temples, covering her eyes with a veil, revealing only a pair of extremely clear eyes.

Seeing Yue Jingshu, the woman was slightly surprised, and said, "It's the elder sister of the Yue family."

Yue Jingshu also smiled and said, "Miss Li."

She took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.

Li Ruyue.

The color of Gu Mingzhu's eyes changed slightly, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded towards her.

Li Ruyue nodded slightly at her, and said, "Sister Yue's family is also here to buy rouge?"

Yue Jingshu said: "I ordered two bottles of beauty cream at Miaofang Pavilion earlier, and I came here to pick them up today."

Li Ruyue smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, I'm also here to buy beauty cream today, please excuse me shopkeeper, I want two bottles."

The shopkeeper of Miaofang Pavilion looked puzzled: "Miss, I'm sorry, the last two bottles have been bought by Miss Yue."

"Oh?" Li Ruyue looked at Yue Jingshu in surprise, and said softly, "It's such an unfortunate coincidence that I came here."

The maid next to Li Ruyue pointed to the box beside her and said, "Aren't there two more bottles? We want it."

As soon as the little girl spoke, she reached out to cover the box, but before she touched it, her slightly cold hand stopped her.

The little maid looked displeased, and she was facing a pair of round, grape-like eyes, with a hint of a smile.

Gu Mingzhu said: "We bought this first."

The little girl frowned: "Why do you buy it first? If you haven't left the shop, you don't count as buying it first. This is what I fell in love with first."

Gu Mingzhu took out a bank note, stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand, and looked at her with a smile: "Look, the money has also been paid."

But the little girl picked up the box: "It's in my hands, I bought it."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, looked at Li Ruyue, and said, "Miss Li, this girl should be disciplined."

Li Ruyue said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Nu is stubborn."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yue Jingshu and said, "Sister Yue, please give me these two bottles of beauty cream."

Yue Jingshu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since Miss Li..."

Gu Mingzhu said: "No."

Li Ruyue's eyes immediately fell on Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu said lightly: "I also like this beauty cream very much, I don't want to give it to others."

Yue Jingshu squeezed her palm, but Gu Mingzhu remained unmoved, and said, "Miss Li, don't take away people's love."

Li Ruyue smiled lightly: "Gu Mingzhu?"

"it's me."

Li Ruyue said: "Rumors about you in Jiangling have been flying all over the sky recently, you don't know about it, do you?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "So what?"

"Just after Gu Xiurong was promoted, his younger sister was arguing with others in Miaofang Pavilion... With all due respect, if this spreads, it will not be good for your reputation."

Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly: "Miss Li, please worry about my reputation. There are still two plots of land in my garden that have not been turned. If Miss Li is really free, come and sit in my garden tomorrow and help me dig the land."

Li Ruyue's expression turned pale, and she said, "Miss Gu is so eloquent."

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Li for your compliment."

Li Ruyue turned her eyes and said: "Qingqing, pay."

The maid named Qingqing took out a bank note and slapped it on the table.

The two walked out.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes dimmed, she took two steps forward, put her hand on the box and raised it vigorously.

There was a bang, the wooden box fell to the ground, and the white jade porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces.

Gu Mingzhu opened her eyes with an innocent look on her face, and said, "Oh, well, no one should think about it now."

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Li Ruyue looked at Gu Mingzhu with a sullen face, and said for a long while, "Miss Gu has such a perverse character, I can't get it myself, and I won't let it to others."

"That's wrong." Gu Mingzhu said: "Miss Li's ability to turn black and white is also impressive. It is obvious that I paid first, but you robbed me by force. Why did it end up being my fault? When I first arrived in Jiangling , I heard everyone say that the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo is well-known, gentle and virtuous, she is a well-known talented woman, but when I met her today, she was not as famous as she was when she met her."

Qingqing said angrily: "Gu Mingzhu, you are presumptuous! How dare you insult my lady!"

"You are presumptuous!" Gu Mingzhu said with a cold face, "Gu Mingzhu is the word that you, a slave, can call? Are all the servants of Li's house so unruly? It seems that Miss Li should go home again Read some books, otherwise the maids who will be trained in the future will be so virtuous and shameless."
