The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 551 Hongmen Banquet (2)
Ling'er fetched water and came in, seeing the scene in the room, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Qingguo got up with a smile, took the basin from Linger's hand, twisted the veil inside and wiped her face first, then twisted the veil and went forward to wipe Wen Tianci's face and hands.

"Tianci, ask Sanniang and Brother Linchun to accompany you to catch insects, okay? My sister has something to do with your mother."

Wen Tianci nodded.

Qingguo took Wen Tianci and handed it to Zhao Sanniang, "Be careful, don't let the insects bite Tianci."

"Yes, girl."

Zhao Sanniang took Wen Tianci out.

Qingguo told Lin Xiaotao, who looked a little better, about her purpose for coming.

Lean slightly.

Lin Xiaotao stared at Qingguo with wide eyes, "Selling rouge?"

Qingguo nodded, and turned her head to signal Fengli to bring up the rouge paste she made, "Auntie, look, I made this yesterday, take out Zhang Ji's and compare it!"

Lin Xiaotao first took the rouge from Qingguo's hand, opened the box, and a faint scent of flowers hit her face, making people feel refreshed!When she saw the rose-colored powder cake in the small porcelain box, Lin Xiaotao couldn't help but looked at Qingguo in a daze, not knowing what to say!
Girls and ladies in this era, it is really not difficult to make some rouge and gouache!But it is difficult, but it is difficult to do it well!

"Auntie, don't just look at me, try it!" Qing Guo said to Lin Xiaotao.

Lin Xiaotao pulled out the hairpin on her head and put some powder in her hand, and was about to ask someone to bring water, but Qingguo spoke.

"Auntie, you don't need water, just rub it with your fingers."

"No water?"

Although Lin Xiaotao was hesitant, she still followed Qingguo's instructions. She rubbed her fingers lightly, and saw a layer of fat red smudged, light and translucent, moist and smooth, as if her original skin color was so!If it hits the face, not only will it be beautiful, but it will also be full of fragrance!

"How about it?"

Qingguo smiled and looked at Lin Xiaotao who opened her mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.

Lin Xiaotao regained her composure, looked at Qingguo, "Guoer, you really did it?"

"If it's fake!" Qing Guo laughed.

"Poor mouth!" Lin Xiaotao reprimanded Qingguo, put the box of rouge in her hand, looked at it again and again, and said softly: "I see, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't compare to it!"

Qing Guo smiled and said, "Auntie, do you want to open a rouge shop?"

"Me?" Lin Xiaotao stared at Qingguo, said with trembling lips, "Guoer, you mean I should open a rouge shop to sell these rouges?"

"Auntie, what do you mean you open a rouge shop to sell these rouges? Of course, you have someone rent a shop and ask someone to sell these rouges for you!" After speaking, she said to Lin Xiaotao who was struck by lightning: "This The recipe for making rouge, I will teach you later, you can find someone to learn from me, and after you learn it, it is not impossible to spread the semicolon all over the country, let alone the capital!"

That is to say, Qingguo wants to hand over the profitable business to her?

Lin Xiaotao looked at Qingguo in surprise and joy.

"Turn around, you should discuss it with my little uncle to see where the shop is and who to take care of it." After Qingguo finished speaking, she took the remaining boxes from Fengli's men and put them in front of Lin Xiaotao, "I still have some A few boxes, Auntie, give these boxes to your close wives, let them spread the word of mouth first, and when your shop opens later, you won’t have to worry about customers!”

"But..." Lin Xiaotao looked at Qingguo, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Guoer, this...this is your prescription, how can it be for nothing..."

"Who are you to me?" Qing Guo rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Xiaotao and said, "Don't forget, you are my aunt! We are a family, what is yours and mine as a family!"

"Hey, hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Lin Xiaotao turned her head and blinked the tears from her eyes.

Qingguo wanted to give Lin Xiaotao a space to ease her emotions, and was about to get up and leave.

Lin Xiaotao suddenly said to Qingguo: "By the way, there is something that I almost forgot."

"Huh?" Qing Guo looked at Lin Xiaotao.

Lin Xiaotao put the rouge in her hand, and said softly to Qingguo: "Rongyang Houfu sent someone to send a post, saying that they invited me to come over to enjoy the flowers. I wanted to push it away, but your little uncle meant to let me Get out and walk around."

"Go! Of course I will!"

If Wen Jinzhao wants to go further in his official career, he can't do it alone!
Qingguo looked at Lin Xiaotao who looked hesitant, and said softly: "Auntie, you can't enter the Hanlin unless you are a Jinshi, and you can't join the cabinet unless you are an Imperial scholar. My uncle doesn't have the power of his father's family and his wife's family to help him. Retire, then what kind of Jinshi did he take the examination for, and what kind of official did he become!"

Lin Xiaotao was silent for a while, and said softly: "I understand what you mean, but you may not know that this young lady of the Rongyang Marquis Mansion is the side concubine of Prince Gong. I'm afraid, this is a grand banquet!"

Qing Guo smiled and said: "Even if it's a Hongmen Banquet, with Princess Rui here, what are you afraid of, Auntie!"

"How do you know that Princess Rui is also going?"

Uh!I slipped up.

Qingguo's eyes flickered, and she said nonsense: "I guessed it, you said that the eldest lady of the Rongyang Marquis Mansion is the side concubine of Prince Gong, so you must invite Princess Rui! Otherwise, why bother to put on such a big show and invite you, little Xiami?" !"

Lin Xiaotao was still thinking about the truth of Qingguo's words.

Qingguo got up and said: "I'm going to see Tianci, just right, aunt, what, then you can use this rouge!"

After the words fell, he had already stepped out of the threshold, and walked away like a gust of wind.

Lin Xiaotao's words in the flower hall.

"Guo'er, they asked you to go with me."

"Yeah, I got it."

Qingguo ran away in a flash!
Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the banquet at the Rongyang Hou's Mansion.

It's not like other girls and young ladies who are so excited about going out that they don't know what clothes to wear!Qingguo is wearing a plain lake blue jacket and skirt, her hair is combed into a double bun, and she is tied with two hairbands of the same color as her clothes. Her whole body is as clean and ethereal as a pool of water in the deep mountains!
Aunt Zhuang saw that Qingguo had finished dressing, looked her up and down, and said, "The old servant has told you about Xianghe, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Pineapple on one side opened its mouth, Aunt Zhuang gave her a glance, and Pineapple obediently went to the side.

This was something that was discussed last night. Since it was confirmed that it was a Hongmen banquet, of course the highly skilled Xianghe had to follow, so that even if it could not be foolproof, it could also ensure safety, right?

"Ah."

Qingguo nodded, she went there in the spirit of watching a lively scene!

Not long after, Lin Xiaotao sent someone to invite her, saying that the carriage was ready.
