From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 134
Feeling that the word "old lady" was a bit harsh, Mei Xin said, "It's too much, what kind of old lady is she in her early forties at most, and you can see that she is well maintained, her face is more supple than mine."

Raising his hand to touch his face, it was very rough, and the thick calluses in his palm pierced his face.Mei Xin suddenly found that what Shangguan Xinrou said was true, she did not look like a woman from head to toe.

Seeing Mei Xin touching her face, Luo Qiu knew that she was starting to care about her appearance, and thought it was a good thing, so she took out the pearl ointment Yuan Muqiu had prepared.She opened it like offering a treasure and sent it to Mei Xin. She said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Major General, Mrs. Su has already prepared it for you. Look, it's pearl ointment. I heard it's from a big family in the capital. Girls use this, not only can it make the skin better but also whiten.”

She also wanted to use it, but it was too expensive. Yuan Muqiu said that such a small box would cost dozens of taels of silver.Her monthly military salary plus Mei Xin's additional monthly silver is not even dozens of taels, if she buys it for use, she will starve to death.

Mei Xin doesn't think there is anything wrong with loving beauty when a woman looks like someone who pleases herself.However, she grew up in the military camp and no one reminded her, so she never cared about her appearance.Fortunately, she is not ugly, and she is at her young age, otherwise she would really be unable to meet people.

Knowing that Luoqiu loves smug beauty, Mei Xin said directly: "The godmother prepared a lot, you can use it together, and buy it when you run out. There are many rouge and gouache shops in the capital, we will find time to go shopping that day, and then we will buy more. "

As if being rewarded, Luo Qiu happily embraced Mei Xin's arm and said: "I knew you, Major General, are the best. I want to buy rouge and lip balm. I see that the girls on the street look beautiful."

Unable to bear her enthusiasm the most, Mei Xin said as if she was afraid of her: "Okay, I'll buy it for you, and then I will ask Yunluo to give you the money, and you can buy whatever you like, okay? "

Nodding like pounding garlic, Luoqiu smiled like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Okay, that's great! I'll go buy it in two days, and I'll also buy hair flowers. I will go out like the girls in the capital in the future, wearing skirts and hair. Put a flower on it."

The chances of growing up with Mei Xin to wear skirts are really rare, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like wearing them.Therefore, coming to the capital Luoqiu was the happiest of them all.

As soon as Yun Luo walked to the door, he heard the laughter of the two of them. He walked in and said, "What are you talking about? I'm so happy. I heard your laughter from a distance. Major general, the hot water is ready. , you can take a bath!"

Hearing the sound, Luo Qiu turned her head and rushed directly to Yun Luo and said, "The Major General told you to buy me rouge and gouache with silver, and take us to eat delicious food after we settle down in two days."

Turning his head to look at her, he felt strange, Yun Luo asked inexplicably: "Rouge gouache, you use it, do you know how to use it?"

It's not that I underestimated her, it's because putting on makeup is also a technical job, and she heard from Yuan Muqiu that rouge and gouache are just a general term, and there are dozens of them in disorder.Moreover, each one is different, and it is also different when rubbed on the face.Therefore, if you don't know how to use it, you will waste things, and the most important thing is to damage your face, which is not good.

Luo Qiu had already thought about it, and blurted out: "If you don't know how to use it, you can learn it. No one is born with it. Yun Luo, don't worry, I will guarantee you to teach you when I learn it."

Taking away her hand on his shoulder, Yun Luo said dismissively: "I don't want to learn, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to count in the warehouse. If you are busy like a spinning top, then you have the time to learn this. But , When you learn it, help me put on makeup to see if it looks good. If it looks good, I will learn from you when I have time. If it looks like a monkey's butt, then forget it."

"What kind of monkey's butt, that's because you've rubbed too much rouge, rub it..." Before she finished speaking, Nanny Song came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, walked up to Mei Xin with a blank expression, bowed her knees and said respectfully: "Miss, people who are pregnant should eat less and eat more, and you should eat more now that the fetal image is unstable. There are not many ingredients in the small kitchen, so let's just make do with a bowl of bird's nest porridge tonight. Wait for the servants to come out tomorrow." Give the buyer a list to buy, and the servants will start making other food for you."

After finishing speaking, she put the bird's nest porridge in her hand on the table, and Nanny Song stepped aside and waited with lowered eyes.

She came here by the emperor's order, and Mei's confidant was also the prince's child, so she naturally took good care of her.

Unexpectedly, she could cook, Mei Xin glanced at the bird's nest porridge and said, "Thanks for your hard work, but I don't have the habit of eating supper, so I don't need to prepare it in the future."

Although the food in the army is not good, it is good that there is no limit, and everyone can eat enough.What's more, she is not picky about food, so she eats pickled vegetables and steamed buns. Three meals a day are enough and there is no need to add extra meals.

Perhaps it was expected that she would refuse a long time ago, Nanny Song was flattered and humiliated without even raising her eyelids.Maintaining the previous posture, he said calmly: "Before leaving the palace, this servant went to see the imperial physician. The imperial physician said that the eldest lady was injured in the war and must be mended. Don't worry about the eldest lady. I have eaten the dinner made by the servant tonight." Never gain weight. Not only will you not gain weight, but your child will be very strong and not easy to get sick. The lady should think about the child even if it is not for herself. If the child is born weak and sick, then give the child tonic But it's too difficult."

I don't know what method Mei Xin used to make the emperor feel pity.Not only sent her to Prince Liang's mansion, but also told her to serve her wholeheartedly, to make sure her childbirth goes smoothly, and the mother and child are safe.

Thinking of her son's poor health in the previous life and often suffering from illnesses, Mei Xin hesitated.After thinking for a while, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll have to work hard for Mommy. It's late at night, so Mommy must be tired too. Let's talk tomorrow morning if we have anything to say."

Nanny Song knew that she was exhausted, so she didn't say she must watch her drink, Fushen saluted and said "yes", she turned and left.

Luo Qiu treats her as an enemy, and feels that she must have no good intentions to show affection for nothing, fearing that the bird's nest porridge will be poisoned, she stepped forward to remind her: "Young General, she is sent by the emperor, so she cannot be trusted. There must be dirty things in this porridge, it can't be drunk, I'll take it and throw it away."

"Luoqiu is right, this man's city is extremely deep, we still have to be careful!" Yun Luo thought she was as careful as a hair, but she observed Song Nanny carefully and found that no matter what she said, her eyeballs never moved.And her face was expressionless, her eyes were like a bottomless well, and no one knew what was going on in her heart.

It is necessary to have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Mei Xin took out a silver needle from her sleeve and put it in the bird's nest porridge.Seeing that the silver needle hadn't turned black, she didn't relax her vigilance at all and said, "Take it to Bai Zhi to see if there's anything wrong with it. Besides, you should take care of the cooking first. When the cook arrives at noon tomorrow, she will do it." .”
