Beauty is poisonous

Chapter 20 Snatch
"I don't know either. The one I kept on me on weekdays suddenly disappeared just now. If you're not in a hurry, just look for it along the road you've walked."

"Could it be that you were too anxious to look for it? You can look in your sleeve again!"

"I've looked for it... Hey, it's actually in my pocket! Haha, that's great, my beauty cream, huh, I love you so much!" Seeing that the beauty cream was not lost, Lu Qiao was so happy that she was going crazy , just kissed the beauty cream box.

Lotus smiled and said: "Look at your stupid appearance, isn't it just a box of ointment, so happy, come, let me see, what makes you love your life so much."

Lu Qiao no doubt had him handing the lotus flower. When the lotus flower opened and smelt it, a burst of fragrance hit her nostrils. The fragrance was elegant and fresh, and the paste was as fine as porcelain when she touched her hand. She was also a person who was used to good things, and she was surprised at the moment: "This beauty ointment is better than the princess's! It really is a good thing!"

"Yes!" Lu Qiao and You Rongyan said with a smile, "Okay, I found the beauty cream. I won't delay my sister, so I'll go to work."

"Then you go." He Hua said so, but put the beauty ointment into her arms.

Lu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Sister Lotus, why did you take my beauty cream? Return it to me!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who took your beauty cream? This beauty cream belongs to me!"

How could Luqiao agree, and immediately started to fight with Hehua, Hehua naturally refused to return the beauty ointment to her, so the two started arguing in the courtyard.

At this moment, Tao Hanrui just said goodbye and went to Wutong Pavilion to see Tao Qiwu, and saw two maids grabbing things indistinctly there, and one of them turned out to be her most powerful maid, He Hua, her face turned green at that time up.

Seeing Xinghua, she immediately went up and scolded: "Luqiao, what are you doing? You dare to argue with Lotus? Are you not afraid of the family law of the Houfu?"

Both she and Hehua are serving Tao Hanrui, even if they are a little dirty on weekdays, they are still unanimous on the outside, and this statement clearly only blames Luqiao.

When Luqiao heard that she was not willing to accept, she rushed to Tao Hanrui, plopped down on her knees, and cried: "Princess, please be the master of the servant, the lotus snatched the beauty ointment from the servant."

"Bullshit!"

Before Tao Hanrui could speak, Lihua scolded: "We are the first-class maidservants of the princess, and the rouge handed out by the mansion is twice as good as yours. How could Sister Hehua steal your beauty?" What about the anointing? For the sake of your cleverness in serving you, leave quickly, don't make any noise here."

Luqiao said anxiously: "Sister Lihua, what kind of ordinary makeup is this? , with pearl powder from the East China Sea, Poria powder from Nanshan, astragalus powder from Xijiang, cistanche powder from the desert, and various precious medicinal materials, it is made after three steaming and three extractions. This box will sell at least How can the rouge in our mansion compare to ten or twenty taels of silver? Princess, let Sister Hehua pay me back!"

He Hua took a step forward and spat, "Look at you, you are talking nonsense more and more. How can such a good thing be possessed by a servant like you? But it's hot and you've got heatstroke and you're talking nonsense here? Well, I read You are tired these days and your mind is useless, so I don’t care about you anymore, but the princess is here, and you are still so blind and messy, don’t blame me for not talking about my usual affection!"

Luqiao glanced at Tao Hanrui, saw Tao Hanrui's cold face, and the four maids all had disdain on their faces, knowing that the beauty cream would never come back, and if it continued, it might be a good beating. Then he lowered his head and said timidly, "I'm sorry, princess, it's because the servant girl can't remember correctly. "

"Okay, since I know I made a mistake, I will forgive you this time, and I will never forgive you if I commit another crime next time."

"Yes, Princess Xie!"

Lu Qiao kowtowed, stood up and left.

After Luqiao left, Tao Hanrui looked sideways at the lotus, and said displeasedly: "Look at your talent, you even want something from a second-class maid! I'm really not afraid of losing the face of the princess!"

"Hehe, it's still the princess who understands the servant, isn't the servant also for the sake of the princess?" He Hua said with a playful smile.

Lihua's expression changed and she said: "Lotus, don't talk nonsense, who is the princess, can he still covet a second-class maid's things?"

"Crack!" He Hua slapped herself lightly, and said with a smile, "Look at this servant who can't speak, princess, look at this thing!"

Speaking of presenting treasures, he handed the beauty ointment to Tao Hanrui.

Tao Hanrui said with a look of disgust: "What's so good about a girl's things? Your eyelids are getting shallower and shallower. If you want to tell this princess, then the maid next to this princess will naturally If you want to be more promising than others, this princess will give you money to buy it."

"Hehe, the servant girl will thank the Princess for the reward first, but the Princess, this beauty cream can't be bought with money. Didn't you listen to the little hoof of Luqiao, so many crafts are all good things!"

"Tch, Sister Lotus, you are also a well-informed person with the princess, why did that rough girl Luqiao believe what she said? You don't even think about who the princess is? Even the good things in the palace, the fourth prince You can give it to the princess, can the princess still care about this girl's stuff?"

"Elder Sister Pear Blossom, don't talk about me yet, let's talk about it now"

After speaking, they opened the lid of the box, and when the three of them saw that they had still used it, their faces became even uglier, and they scolded: "Lotus, are you getting more and more unruly? How dare you dirty the used things?" In the eyes of the princess? Take it down!"

"Sisters, if the princess doesn't want to read it, you can watch it before talking!"

While speaking, she wiped a small amount on the peach blossom face that was close to her, and the peach blossom face changed and was about to scold her, but she gasped and said: "Why does this fragrance smell so good? It feels so good when it is applied on the face." comfortable?"

Tao Hanrui smelled it and said with some interest: "Bring me the princess to have a look!"

Only then did Hehua excitedly hand over the beauty ointment, Tao Hanrui lowered her head and smelled it, and said joyfully, "This smell...it smells so good!"

Secretly in his heart, he stretched out his white jade finger and wiped it lightly. After slightly rubbing it, he said pleasantly: "It's so delicate!"

He Hua gave the others a proud look before saying flatteringly, "Princess, isn't this beauty ointment good?"

"It's really good, even the owner of the princess is not using it now! Where did you buy it?"

Hehua then repeated what Luqiao said, Tao Hanrui listened carefully, and after listening, she smiled and said: "The shopkeeper of Baimeitang is a wonderful person, all the rouge has always been provided by Qianjiao Baimei. The entire Zhuo Kingdom also uses thousands of charming and charming cosmetics, and it is impossible for anyone to surpass Qianjiabaimei. The shopkeeper of Baimeitang can only find another way, starting from the maids of various prefectures, and waiting for the effect to naturally drive the nobles It’s a good idea, but it’s wrong!”

"Wrong? What's wrong?"

"Think about it, it's a good thing that a maid used, which noble lady is willing to use it? Even if she used it, wouldn't she be thrown to death if she was said to have used a maid's thing in the future? This beauty ointment, It’s a pity, it’s probably going to be closed soon.”

He Hua was puzzled and said, "Even if it's as the princess said, if you sell it to maids and common people, that's not a small income!"

"This is even more impossible. Think about it. As far as the materials you mentioned, the cost of the materials alone is more than ten taels of silver, how can there be such a wealthy maid and commoner in this world who are willing to spend more than twenty taels of silver on these things?" Facial powder? Are you willing?"

"..." The four big maids looked at each other, thought for a while and said, "It's rare to buy it once, but if you buy it when you run out, you really can't bear it!"

"Isn't that enough? As the eldest maids of the princess, you spend more on food and clothing than the eldest ladies among the minor officials. You are all reluctant, how can other maids be willing? So, this The store will collapse sooner or later! What a pity for this beauty ointment! Well, I won’t talk to you guys about this, come follow me to Wutong Pavilion.”

"Yes!"
