Yutai Bi

Chapter 3

She strode over, pulled Baicao behind her, took off her handkerchief and bent down to wipe the hem of Fourth Master's skirt.

"Damn it slave!" Baicao knelt down with a plop.

The fourth master felt sorry for the two thrushes, and felt irritable, so he shouted at Mrs. Xu who was short and wiped his lapel: "Go away!"

"Yes yes yes!" Xu backed away with a lost smile, her tall figure intentionally or unintentionally blocked Baicao from the fourth master's sight.

"Morning Sitang uncle!" Cen Sanniang arrived in time, smiled and blessed the fourth master, and scolded Baicao with a straight face, "Hurry up and clean up this place! Clumsy..."

Baicao and the Xu family quickly cleaned up as if they had received an amnesty.

Cen Sanniang walked up to the fourth master, her eyes lit up: "Uncle Sitang, this pair of wax mouths looks good!"

The thrush in the cage gradually quieted down, the fourth master let out a sigh of relief, and then put down the cage cloth.Cen Sanniang's boast just scratched his itch, and she couldn't help saying proudly: "San Niangzi has good eyesight, my male is called Baimei, and he is the king of birds!"

"Bird king?" Cen Sanniang stared at the cage with amazement.Although the cage cloth blocked the bird, she couldn't see it at all.

"No one's thrush in Longzhou City can win against it! Oh, I made an appointment with the seven young birds in the south of the city this morning, and even a miscellaneous bird dared to provoke me to bet a hundred taels of silver with him... I You have to take a step first!" Remembering the bet, the fourth master hurriedly got away and left, and suddenly saw the stain on the hem of the skirt, and immediately thought of Baicao.

He bowed his head to coax the bird, and when he was talking to Cen Sanniang, Mrs. Xu had already slipped away with Baicao.

Seeing the fourth master looking around, Cen Sanniang hurriedly urged him: "Uncle Sitang, hurry up and change clothes, don't let the Seventh Young Master in the south of the city think that we dare not fight!"

"When Fourth Uncle wins the lottery, I'll buy you flowers later!" The fourth master's thoughts were pulled back immediately, and he pushed open the backyard gate with the birdcage.

Cen Sanniang was heaving a sigh of relief, but saw the fourth master sticking his head out anxiously: "Third lady, don't let your fourth sister-in-law know that I took a hundred taels of silver to gamble."

The eldest lady is the housekeeper, and the money is tight.The fourth master has no serious errands, and the fourth wife can't take care of the middle class, so the monthly money is not enough for the fourth master to gamble with birds.Most of the hundred taels of silver were stolen by the fourth master from the box where the fourth wife kept her private money.

Cen Sanniang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, grasping the handle that the fourth master had offered to hand over.She blinked, smiled and took the opportunity to blackmail: "The fourth uncle must give me a box of Zixue from Tianxiang Pavilion."

Tianxiangge specializes in all kinds of makeup jewelry, and its head office is in Chang'an.Zixuehongxuebixue is light purple, pink, and light green facial fat, which is the signature of Tianxiang Pavilion.Applying facial oil before using powder can not only moisturize the skin, but also condition the complexion.Every year, Tianxiang Pavilion carefully makes a batch of colored face creams for the nobles in the palace.The book that can be included in the internal tribute is well-known, and the price is naturally high. A box of noodles costs three taels of silver.

On Cen Liuniang's birthday last month, it happened that the second master sent a steward to send a carload of gifts, so the third lady picked out a box of purple snow and a silver mirror to reward her.Cen Liuniang specially tied a five-color rope to tie the silver mirror to her belt, holding it to take pictures from time to time.Holding a small box of facial fat in his hand, he walked around in front of Sanniang and Qiniang for a long time, and then pretended to be generous and let the two of them pick out a little to wipe their hands, and it took a full half a month to show off before giving up.

Cen Sanniang assumed a very envious attitude as she wished.

Of course she couldn't make gestures and say: "The mirror in my bathroom is as big as two windows! The full-length mirror in my bedroom is not too crowded for two people standing side by side! I use morning and evening creams..."
