The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 46

Mrs. Cen is impatient. This second sister-in-law is really annoying. She has no memory at all. Knowing that she has caused her to lose so much money before, she dares to come to her, and she is too lazy to entangle with her any longer. , "I won't agree to this matter, the second sister-in-law should die."

Gao screamed, "I think you want to monopolize it all by yourself. How can there be such a reason! I came up with this idea. If you dare to monopolize it by yourself, I will tell mother!"

Cen's expression turned cold, "Second sister-in-law, let me say it again, I won't let Baozhu give you this prescription, because I didn't intend to use Baozhu's prescription to make money, so you should give up on it. Even if you sue to the government, no one will take care of you, you sue me? Sue me for not giving you the recipe to make you money? If you are messing around, no wonder I don’t care about the relationship between Nian and my sister-in-law!"

After all, Gao hesitated, glanced at Baozhu, and thought to himself that this silly niece is also easy to coax, at worst, he will secretly coax Fang Zi over in the future, there is no need to confront this tigress head-on.

Gao Shi flung his sleeves and left, leaving only Baozhu and Cen Shi in the room.Baozhu became more and more uneasy, and felt that she was a little reckless, and she should not have used these hair oils, rouge, gouache and so on.How did you know that Cen touched her face and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, my son, with your mother backing you up, no one dares to ask you for a prescription, so you can just keep making some by yourself." Things to play, mother does not need you to make money, the dowry given by mother in the future is enough for you to be carefree for ten lifetimes, we don't need to be tired."

This little daughter is the one she loves the most. She plans well for her daughter's future, and finds a family that is lower than the Duke's mansion. Of course, the man's character must also be good. Before getting married, she must never have a concubine. She will give her daughter a full dowry, and she will also marry a shopkeeper whom she trusted in the past. When the time comes, the shopkeeper will take care of her daughter's property and shop, and her daughter will just live a life without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

"Mother, you are so kind." Baozhu was a little sad, but Mother trusted her wholeheartedly, but she kept the matter of the lotion tightly hidden.Now she still dare not tell her family about the lotion. It's not that she doesn't trust her family, but that this thing is too miraculous. If it really leaks out, everyone in the Rong Mansion will be in trouble. Even if she brings this thing into the coffin, she won't Leaked half of it.

"Silly daughter, mother is not good to you, who should I treat?" Cen smiled and hugged Baozhu, "By the way, it will be your grandfather's birthday in half a month. Ju, you were delayed by something in the past two years, but this year will be over." In the past two years, her daughter has grown, and she has become more and more beautiful, so it is difficult for her to take her daughter around.This year, my father said that his birthday is only 55, so it is good to just invite some important relatives, and let Baozhu go too.

Cen also thought about it a little bit, her daughter is still five or six years away from getting married, can't she not go out to meet people for a few years?Even if the little prince is really interested in Baozhu, the Empress Dowager probably won't agree, so why hide Baozhu like this.

Baozhu is also happy, she has seldom been out of the house in recent years, in fact, she also yearns to go out with her sisters in her heart, and she is naturally very happy to be able to go to her grandfather's house in a few days.Can't help asking, "Mother, what gift should I give my grandfather? And what should my aunt and uncles want to give? I want to give her the hair oil and rouge powder for my aunt's cousin Xiwen, and the two cousins ​​of my uncle's family. What else should I give?"

Now the third cousin, Rong Xie, has chosen cousin Zuo Xiwen from his aunt's family, and cousin Cen Anhe from the uncle's family, who has been settled by the first cousin Huizhu. At times, everyone from the fourth house of the Rong family will go to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. of.

Cen said with a smile, "Women's relatives are easy to say, your hair oil, rouge, gouache and so on are very good to send over. As for your uncle and cousin, you don't need to worry about them. I will prepare them all. Your grandfather, just think about it?" After all, it is my own father, I hope my daughter can treat it with caution.

Baozhu nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I understand." Hair oil, rouge and water powder are also easy to make, and some can be produced in half a month. As for uncle and cousin's gift, let mother prepare it, and grandfather's gift must be carefully thought about.

As a congratulatory gift for grandfather, Baozhu plans to take a piece of mutton fat white jade from his collection to be carved into a jade pendant and give it to his grandfather, and then he plans to make a bowl of soup for his grandfather by himself that day. It is also good to use a few drops of lotion on the grandfather.

There's still half a month left, so there's no rush, apart from asking the maids to collect sweet-scented osmanthus flowers every day, Baozhu still has to go to class, and after class, she's busy making hair oil, rouge and gouache.One thing is annoying, Gao always likes to block her, on the way to get out of class, on the way out of class, on the way to pay respects to the grandfather and ancestors, every time it is about the prescription, it makes Baozhu have a headache .

After all, I couldn't bear it anymore today, Baozhu looked at Gao Shi with bright eyes in front of her and said, "Second Aunt, there is really no prescription, it's just a very common practice, if you really don't believe me, I will do some more in the next few days Come out, how about you go and have a look?"

Is this going to tell Fang Zi to her?Gao was pleasantly surprised, "Okay, good niece, then you should hurry up and pay your respects to your ancestors, and your aunt won't bother you."

In the past few days, the maids in the Baozhu courtyard have picked all the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers and cleaned them. They are only waiting for Baozhu to start making hair oil, rouge and water powder. , "Ouch, my good niece is back? Hurry up, have some tea, you're exhausted after a day of class, aren't you?"

Baozhu smiled and said, "I'm not tired, Second Aunt, I'll start making it right away, you can see clearly, it's really just an ordinary prescription."

Gao looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile, "I see it all clearly." In the end, he kept an eye out, fearing that the orb would deceive her, he used an ordinary prescription in front of her, and remade it with another prescription behind her back , so I came to supervise in the next few days, until the hair oil and rouge water powder were made, I believed it. After smelling and using it again, the taste and effect were the same as before. It seems that the orb did not deceive. she.

In the past few years, Gao's cloth shop has been affected by that incident, and the monthly silver income has dropped by several tenths. If the shop was not owned by her, it might still lose money.Gao Shi excitedly went back to change the shop into a rouge and gouache shop. Seeing her chattering excitedly, Master Rong Er couldn't help but ask a question.

Gao didn't hide it, and excitedly told the story, including his own plan.

Master Rong Er held a skeptical attitude, "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?"

Gao nodded, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes. I watched it for several days. From the beginning of the production to the final ending, I didn't miss it all day. I can see it clearly. I can't be wrong. Master, if you really can make That silly girl’s yard has exactly the same thing, I plan to sell a bottle of head oil for ten taels of silver, such a good thing, it’s no problem to sell hundreds of copies a day, that’s 3 taels of silver a month .”

Master Rong Er was also a little moved, he still knew the effect of those things, the hair of the women of the Rong Mansion was obviously much darker, and even the Gao family looked better than before, so it goes without saying that the effects of these things are.Now his expenses outside are a bit high, and the second room is maintained by the monthly case and Gao's dowry, which is really stretched.If you can really make money like this, you are also a good thing.But in the end, I still kept an eye out, and said to Gao, "Don't rush to change the sign of the shop, try it in Fuchu first, and wait for the finished product to come out and try the effect."

Gao said with a smile: "Master is right, it is better to see the finished product, I will prepare it later."

Master Rong Er said, "Tomorrow is Jing Henghou's birthday, are the congratulatory gifts ready? Jing Henghou is quite popular with the emperor now in court, but it is said that Jing Henghou plans to give up his title after this birthday." To Cen Yu, the boss of his family. The two boys in the Cen family's family, the eldest is Huizhu who has booked the big house, the second child is also twelve, and Chang Yanzhu is two years old, just the right age. The two children of Cen's family have no character In other words, it would be great if Yan Zhu could tell Second Master Cen, see if you can let Yan Zhu and Second Master Cen settle their marriage."

Gao's eyes lit up, and he also felt that this marriage was very good. If he married Huizhu, he could still be a sister-in-law with Huizhu. Although the second master of the Cen family could not inherit the title, he was said to be very smart, and his career in the future would be safe. , Yanzhu marrying him is also a match made in heaven.Furthermore, if Yanzhu marries Erye Cen, there is no reason for Cen not to take her to earn money. By then, Yanzhu will be Cen's nephew and daughter-in-law, and they will be considered in-laws.

Mrs. Gao was not in a hurry about the shop anymore, so she hurried to see what gifts to give.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Di and the Duke of the State took the four householders of the Rong family to Jing Henghou's mansion. Jing Henghou only invited some relatives. The daughter-in-law's natal family, Qingwei's family of Guanglu Temple.Jing Henghou's continuation, Mrs. Zhang, also gave him a pair of children. The youngest son, Cen Bai, is only twenty years old. He married his wife, Mr. Wang's youngest daughter, Mrs. Wang's family, and has a son, Cen Ankang, who is now only three years old. He is Baozhu's youngest cousin.There is also a girl, Cen Zhi, who is only fifteen years old now, only five or six years older than Baozhu, but she is already Baozhu's little aunt.

After going to the Cen's house, the Zuo family of Yushi doctor, the Wei family of Guanglu Temple and the Wang family of the imperial hospital had already arrived, and the housekeeper took them to the place.Although they are all relatives, but after all the daughters are grown up, one of the female relatives and the male guests stay in the backyard, and the other stays in the front yard.

The backyard of the women's family members was greeted by Mrs. Jing Heng Hou Xuxian Zhang, and the Duke took several lords and gentlemen to the front yard.

The girls from the Rong family, the Zuo family, the Wei family, and the Wang family have also seen each other before, only Baozhu and the others have never seen her. Baozhu has not shown her face in front of these relatives in the past two or three years. Stopped, "Whose...whose girl is this? She is as beautiful as a fairy girl in the sky." Suddenly, she thought of something again, and stared at Mrs. Cen with wide eyes. "Couldn't this be the seventh girl's orb? This..." A few years ago, she was a fat girl who was not at all attractive, but she has become so beautiful in the past two or three years.
