The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 38 Rouge
Yuechan only found out how much Su's dowry was when she was a ghost in her previous life.

Yuechan was divorced when she got married, and Haoyu was killed for gambling. Liu Mei took over all the dowry left by the Su family. Later, Liu Mei distributed the dowry to Yue'e and Yueting.

Those farm shops, gold and silver jewellery, all kinds of clothing materials, coral bonsai, glass screens, emerald plates, white jade bowls, these valuable things from the Su family's dowry were all scraped off by Liu Mei, mother and daughter.

It was at that time that Yuechan realized how stupid she really was. When she got married, Liu Mei cried and said that the mansion was unable to make ends meet, so she believed it. When she saw the thousands of taels Liu Mei gave her, plus A few shops that lost money thought that Liu Mei was really kind to her, but they didn't know that her mother's dowry randomly took out more than this amount.

Yuechan thought about it, she didn't know who owns Su Shi's dowry now, she thought, with the shrewdness of the old lady, she might not let Liu Mei get these things.

I remembered that there was a ready-made rouge shop in Su's dowry. Yuechan thought to discuss with the old lady after she came back, and hand over the shop to her. Presumably, the old lady who is now competing with Liu Mei will agree. .

Having made up her mind, Yuechan calmed down and recalled the recipes she had seen, thinking about how to make makeup powder.

Yuechan and Haoyu asked for some silver, and asked Huan'er to give it to her father, old man Fei, and asked her to help buy some flowers in the flower field outside. It was summer at this time, and the roses were just in bloom. Many roses came back, but not much money was spent.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Yuechan let the lady Wang who was guarding the gate on the west side let her go, and found a few strong boys to bring the flowers back. Drill in the house every day to ponder.

It is actually not very difficult to make rouge. At this time, people just smashed red and blue flowers to make rouge, then wrung out the dregs with a fine cloth, and then dried it in the shade to become rouge. This kind of rouge is a bit dry and hard. And with clear water.

The rouge that Yuechan wants to make is to put oil into it, so that the surface of the rouge is soft and greasy. When using it, there is no need to add water, just lightly dab it on the face with a fine cotton cloth.

Yuechan asked a few little girls to help select the roses in the porch, and then crushed them finely, letting the bright red flower juice flow into a small bowl, then carefully filtered, and then added a little bit of beef marrow, Slowly dry in the shade, and add a small amount of osmanthus oil during the drying process. The rouge produced in this way is bright in color, not dry, and has a light fragrance.

A few days later, Yuechan finished making the rouge and started busy making gouache.

Most of the water powder used by women in the Jokhang Kingdom is made of rice soup or talc, rice juice is fine. The talc is used for a long time, and it is easy to make the skin dry and wrinkled, and it is easy to make people age.

Yuechan knew this, so she didn't know how to put on makeup at all. She just watched Liu Mei's delicate makeup every day, and wondered what Liu Mei would look like after removing her makeup.

The gouache made by Yuechan is different. She plans to use mussel powder and motherwort to blend a kind of gouache, which is temporarily named Yunv powder, and then there is purple powder made of Hu powder mixed with sunflower seed juice, and ying fen made of fine chestnut rice. Butterfly powder, in addition, the more high-end is pearl powder extracted from white jasmine kernels, and the most high-end is pearl powder made of real pearls, and there are hosta powder made of hosta flower and hufen.

These kinds of gouache are different from what people in Jokhang country often do. The gouache made is not harmful to people when applied on the face, and it is not easy to fall off. It also has a faint fragrance. The real fragrance is soft and light, Yuechan thought That said, this gouache can probably make money when it is made.

As for how much money she can make, Yuechan has no idea, she is not a businessman, so she doesn't know much about profit-seeking.

When Yuechan was making gouache, she had asked her confidants to inquire about the prices of those rouge powders in various shops in Chang'an City. Once they had a solid foundation, they calculated their own costs and settled on an approximate price in their hearts.

A few days later, Yuechan made a sample and tried it on the face of Thrush, the effect was really amazing, after using it, Thrush praised it again and again, and said that if it was herself, she would definitely buy such a powder.

Knowing that Huamei would not coax her for nothing, Yuechan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the money left in her hand, Yuechan thought that she should talk to Haoyu about this matter. If Haoyu could help her and the old lady want a shop, this matter would be much easier. After all, Haoyu is now the only boy in the Meng family.

Taking these various makeup powders that she made herself, Yuechan took the thrush to Haoyu's yard. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Hanmo guarding outside. In the house?"

As soon as Hanmo saw Yuechan, he hurried over to meet Li, with a smile on his face: "Miss, the young master is here, do you want me to go in and report?"

Yuechan froze for a moment, and thought to herself, Hanmo never said anything to report when she came to Haoyu before, what happened today?
"But there are guests?" Yuechan thought, probably there is such a possibility.

Han Mo smiled: "Miss is right. At that time, the third young master Fu came to visit and was talking with the young master in the room. I see, this third young master Fu is really good, he is good-looking, and he is also knowledgeable." , the young master can make friends with him, it is also good."

After Hanmo finished speaking, Yuechan was startled, she didn't expect Fu Wenbin to come, she was a little bit at a loss right now.

Let's go into the house, Yuechan is a little reluctant to see Fu Wenbin, but if she doesn't go in, it's really unreasonable to just leave like this, if she lets her brother know, it seems that she has a ghost in her heart.

Gritting her teeth, Yuechan was about to say that she would come back later when she heard Haoyu's voice in the room: "But sister is here?"

As he spoke, Haoyu was dressed in a moon satin gown, his hair was casually fixed with a silver hairpin on the top of his head, and he just walked out the door.

"Sister!" Seeing Yuechan, Hao Yu was in a good mood: "Even if you're here, why don't you go in and have fun, you also know Brother Fu, you should meet him."

Yuechan had no choice but to carry the box into the room, but saw that Fu Wenbin was still wearing the same white robe and dark green gown with light yellow cloud patterns embroidered on it. He was sitting quietly on the chair by the window, holding a book in his hand and looking at it. It seemed as if his whole mind was immersed in the book, and he didn't see Yuechan coming in.

If it weren't for Yuechan's years of getting along with this person, she really thought he was a good student.

Yuechan lowered her head and smiled, thinking that Fu Wenbin is pretending, he is a person who obviously loves to move and not to be quiet, and the one who can't bear to read these boring things, but today he is holding the book and looking at it engrossed , really ridiculous.

When Yuechan laughed to herself, Fu Wenbin secretly looked at Yuechan. How could he read the book? Dare to show it in front of Fu Wenbin, so he had to cover it up with books.

At this moment, when Yuechan entered the door, Fu Wenbin was so happy that he didn't know what to do. In his eyes, the words in the book fully reflected Yuechan's beautiful face with a smile, and he was a little crazy looking at it.

Yuechan is also wearing a moon satin shirt today, with a light-colored pleated skirt tied underneath, and only a few jade hairpins on her head. Standing with Haoyu, they are really a pair of immortals.

Fu Wenbin took a peek at Yuechan, and fell in love with Yuechan to the bottom of his heart, but he was really afraid that Yuechan would be abrupt, so he didn't dare to speak.

Haoyu looked at Yuechan and laughed, walked over and took away the book in Fu Wenbin's hand: "Brother Fu really worked hard, we brothers and sisters didn't notice when we entered the door, if everyone in the world is like Brother Fu, what else is there?" It can't be done."

Only then did Fu Wenbin smile awkwardly, as if he had just seen Yuechan's appearance, he stood up abruptly, a little at a loss: "Miss Meng, please be polite."

It's really funny that a person who likes knives and guns, but imitates that sour speech.

Even though Yuechan hated Fu Wenbin, she couldn't help but burst out laughing seeing him like this.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't smile, this smile is like a spring flower blooming, the spring breeze blowing across the room, Fu Wenbin looked at it, his face flushed, and he laughed along with it.

"You're being polite!" In her own home, no matter what, Yuechan would not be rude, so she gave a simple courtesy and said with a smile: "I didn't know you were here, but it's really bothering you, you and brother continue studying. I go first."

Fu Wenbin, who originally wanted to stay with Yuechan for a while longer, heard that she was going to leave, how could he agree? A disappointed look appeared on his face, and he waved his hand: "Miss Meng, you are welcome, we are family friends, why do we need these things?" Xuli, if you have something to say to Brother Meng, why not let me go first."

While talking, Fu Wenbin wanted to leave.

Meng Haoyu looked at Yuechan, then at Fu Wenbin, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold Fu Wenbin: "What are you talking about, you are my friend, and our two families have such a relationship, there is no need to be so polite, hurry up and sit down." Down."

After talking about Fu Wenbin, Meng Haoyu turned his head to look at Yuechan again: "Don't talk about leaving, I know you must have something to do when you come, tell me, Brother Fu is also trustworthy, and he can help you with the details. Second, besides, brother Fu has many friends, if you have something that I can't help, he can too. "

In a word, Fu Wenbin was very happy, and said in his heart that Meng Haoyu's friend did not make friends in vain, and he would definitely create opportunities for him. He was thinking of using any reason to get closer to Yuechan, but with Haoyu's words, There are ready-made reasons.

"Miss Meng, just tell me what you want. Although I am not as good as Brother Meng, I know a lot of people in Chang'an City. Maybe I can really help you." Fu Wenbin said generously.

During this period of time, he inquired about it, and knew that Yuechan's life at home was not very easy. With a stepmother like Liu Mei watching over her, Yuechan was bound to do anything she wanted to do. Fu Wenbin also heard from Mrs. Fu that Yuechan was squeezed out by Liu Mei, and she was not allowed to appear on such important occasions, and she was made to dress so shabby, Fu Wenbin felt distressed for a while, thinking No matter what, I have to help Shang Yuechan.

Seeing Fu Wenbin's serious expression, and seeing Haoyu staring at him, Yuechan sighed helplessly, put the boxes in her hand on the table, opened them one by one, and smiled: "I don't have anything important, I just made some rouge and gouache, I wanted to show my brother, but I didn’t know Mr. Fu was there, I’m really rude.”

As soon as Yuechan finished speaking, Fu Wenbin reached out to take a box of rouge in his hand, put it on his nose and smelled it, and said in surprise: "This rouge is really extraordinary."

As he spoke, the man actually took a little bit of it with his fingertips and painted it on the back of his hand.

Yuechan was dumbfounded, she didn't know that Fu Wenbin still had research on these things.
