He Chun blushed from their laughter, and said angrily: "Don't look ugly, it's much better than the soap you bought!! The aloe vera soap moisturizes your hands, and the honey milk soap doesn't dry your hands. It's very delicate!"
Wutong continued to add insult to injury: "With your handiwork and this level, let alone five taels of silver, it is five taels of silver, and no one else will buy it! Hurry up and take it back, don't take it out and think it's ugly!!"
Yu Xiaocao glanced at her indifferently, and Wutong immediately closed her mouth knowingly.
"Bring me to have a look!" Yu Xiaocao took the two handmade soaps, the shape was really horrible, this He Chun was too careless, couldn't it be the shape made by just grabbing it with his hands twice? I put the light blue one under my nose and sniffed it lightly. The smell is quite elegant, with a faint fragrance of aloe vera. The color tone is uneven, it is estimated that when the aloe vera juice was mixed in, it was not stirred well.
She asked Wutong to bring a basin of water, and washed her hands with the soap made of honey and milk. The foam was very fine. After washing, her hands were lubricated and had the fragrance of toffee. In addition to the ugly appearance, the effect is not bad.
She helped to give some pointers, and gave He Chun a bottle of Lingshi water, saying that it was the essence water that she extracted from many medicinal materials that was good for the skin. Let the little girl put a drop of "medicine essence water" when making handmade soap next time, the effect will be better.
He Chun admires the young lady's pharmaceutical technology so much. The lady said that this essence water is good for the skin, so the handmade soap added with this essence water will definitely be able to whiten, moisturize, remove acne and delicate skin as the lady said...
In He Chun's heart, Miss is a god-like existence. Sister Cherry and Sister Yangliu are the objects of her worship and the goals of her efforts. Sister Cherry has a talent for pharmaceuticals, so she becomes the steward in charge of the pharmaceutical workshop; Sister Yangliu is very talented in cooking, so she becomes an indispensable chef in charge of the stewed vegetables shop in Beijing. If she can perfect and finish this handmade soap, can she become the young lady's right-hand man like them in the future
Mrs. Fang smiled and watched her daughter and girls "play around" for a while. Seeing that girl He Chun was "fooled" by her daughter's few words and couldn't find her way, she smiled and said: "He Chun, your lady has a lot of wonderful ideas, so I need a girl like you who is good at hands-on and dares to try. Work hard , this might be your chance!"
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said nothing, but He Chun girl was full of energy. Seeing Wutong beside him, he was very depressed: Miss, does she not want to see me? I would rather promote those little girls at the bottom than give myself a chance. Could it be... that little hoof made a small report to the young lady about her reluctance to go to the countryside to suffer hardships and her sarcastic remarks? She was full of worries, thinking hard about how to change the young lady's view of herself.
Here, Xiaocao and Nianger chatted about the ladies in Beijing.
"Cao'er, next month's Flower Fighting Fair, Princess Minglan personally posted a post, if you evade it, I'm afraid you will be accused of being arrogant, out of gregarious, or pampered, etc. But if you go If not, mother is afraid that you will be wronged..." Mrs. Fang was also very conflicted. On the one hand, I want my daughter to get in touch with her peers more and gradually have her own circle of friends, but at the same time, she is afraid that those charming ladies with high eyes will look down on her background, so her past will be an issue.
Yu Xiaocao smiled slightly, and said: "There is nothing to be wronged or wronged. Don't those so-called noble ladies rely on their own backgrounds to be better than others? Regardless of their backgrounds, what else do they have to be proud of? Damn, don't worry! Those irrelevant people are not worth making me sad."
"Your temperament has always been free and easy, and my mother will not say anything more. You are right, making friends also depends on fate, let nature take its course!" Seeing Xiaocao's confidence, Mrs. Fang didn't say any more. What, just said, "The Princess Minglan has a straightforward and generous temper, and she is not the kind with high eyebrows and low eyes. However, she speaks relatively straightforwardly, and if she says something unpleasant, it may not be prejudiced against you. This is up to you!"
Yu Xiaocao nodded obediently, and Mrs. Fang said again: "It's no secret in Beijing that Princess Minglan likes chrysanthemums. Minger fights flowers, you can take the 'Er Qiao' from our greenhouse and vote for him." Good thing. Even if you can't win the first place, I will treat you differently compared to Princess Minglan."
After a pause, Mrs. Fang was still not at ease, and said to her daughter, the ladies in Beijing: "Among the ladies in Beijing, the most famous ones are the 'Four Talented Women' and 'Shuangshu'. The four talented women are the Imperial Academy Cao Panyun, the daughter of offering wine, Wu Lingfu, the granddaughter of a scholar at Wenyuange University, Shuhan, the daughter of a scholar at the Imperial Academy, and Lin Weiyu, the daughter of a doctor in Zhongshu. Such a person has a noble temperament and a clean eye, but he also cherishes his feathers and will not easily turn against others."
"As for the twin sisters, they are evaluated comprehensively based on their appearance and temperament. One is Yuan Xueyan, the daughter of Prime Minister Yuan, who is dressed in white clothes better than snow, and looks cold and dusty; the other is He Wanning, the granddaughter of the eldest princess, who is dressed in red and has a fiery temperament. People have completely opposite temperaments, but they are good friends. Yuan Xueyan is fine, but this girl, He Wanning, must not be offended. If she turns her face, anyone will dare to hit her... "
Mrs. Fang also introduced the personalities and tempers of the other girls, and she was still reluctant to stop until dinner time, for fear that if she missed the slightest bit, the girl would suffer a big loss.
Yu Xiaocao just listened quietly, and she didn't want to make friends with those ladies who wore masks all day long. At that time, as long as the face can pass.
Day by day, as the weather gets colder, greenhouse vegetables show their charm even more. This year, Zhuangzi only tried to plant 100 acres, and the most important thing in Beijing is rich and powerful people. To put it bluntly, if you throw a stick casually on Chaoyang Street, the people you hit are either rich or noble. No matter whether you have money or power, there is no shortage of money. Greenhouse vegetables have been fired to unprecedented high prices when the supply is in short supply.
On weekdays, green leafy vegetables that cost a few pennies a catty and half a penny a catty may not be available. As for vegetables such as eggplants, beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers, the prices are higher, and people are rushing for a tael of silver. In front of the fruit and vegetable shops in the east and west of the city, there are people queuing up before dawn, and it doesn't take half a day to open, and the daily rationed vegetables are sold out.
The most painful thing is King Jing, knowing that the vegetable and fruit shops in the east and west of the city are all affiliated to King Jing’s mansion, those colleagues, whether they have spoken before or not, all come to make friends, and in the end they can’t hide from the vegetables and fruits, look at him Can you open the back door and supply some outside the plan.
Prince Jing was so annoyed that he had no choice but to sell the emperor: the vegetable shed was a joint venture between the emperor and Mr. Yu, the agricultural officer of the household department, and it had nothing to do with Prince Jing's mansion, they were only in charge of sales. Don't look at him as a prince, he can't say anything in this regard! Instead of wasting time on him, it's better to go for a walk with Mr. Xiaoyu.
Most of the civil servants and military generals were against Yu Xiaocao's appointment as an official. At the beginning, for her reward, the minister with fierce personality almost hit the pillar. How could it be possible to pull down your face and beg on the head of a sixth-rank petty official for the sake of appetite. Some people even blamed Yu Xiaocao for her poor eyesight, and didn't know how to improve the relationship with the courtiers... If they want vegetables from others, they have to rush to deliver them on air. These people are also drunk!
If Yu Xiaocao wanted to know what these people were thinking, she would definitely be furious. As an agricultural officer, she was just doing things for the convenience of the emperor for fun. Could she still expect to grow all the way to a first-rank official by growing grain, vegetables, melons and fruits? Rank six, it will be the end of her here! ! Why is she rushing to curry favor with those irrelevant people? Send them vegetables? It's better to sell it for more money!
However, the number of posts received by the General's Mansion has continued to increase recently. A small part was for Yu Xiaocao, and they were handed over by unknown ladies for some unknown purpose. The other part is to invite Mrs. Fang to get together in a devious way, and specifically stated that she will bring Yu Xiaocao, a cheap girl, with her. They were all declined by Yu Xiaocao on the grounds that she was busy with the announcement. To socialize with those ladies who pretend to be fake, it would be easier to do hard work like this!
Just because she seldom attends various gatherings, she is even more mysterious in the circle of ladies in Beijing and China. Of course, those ladies who didn't refuse said bad things about her. What arrogance, stinginess, shamelessness, etc.! This also made more people curious, what kind of person is this little girl from a farming family who has been an official to the sixth rank at the age of eleven or twelve
Soon, the day of the "Fighting Flower Fair" arrived. A few days ago, someone was quietly inquiring whether Mr. Yu, the agricultural officer, would participate. More people are waiting to see the good show: If that Yu, even Princess Minglan doesn't give her face, then she will just wait to be excluded from the circle of ladies and gentlemen! (Yu Xiaocao: Is this important?)
Jiang Siniang sent the flag she made by herself to the general's residence in advance. The flag dress will be fully listed in Linglong Embroidery Workshop soon. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this flower fight, I hope that the flag dress can become a hit in the circle of nobles.
When Yu Xiaocao was trying on the clothes, she said to herself: "Sister, I'm afraid that if you go in brightly, you will come out with a disheveled face. At that time, if someone 'unintentionally' spills tea or sauce on such beautiful clothes, Is it not a waste?"
Jiang Siniang's hands helping her adjust her clothes paused, thinking of the difficulties when she was holding up the embroidery workshop, the corners of her mouth curled into a line, and she said coldly: "It's okay! Those people should take care of their face, so they shouldn't dare to do it directly. At most, it’s just something that doesn’t sound good, let’s bark like a wild dog. My sister brought you an extra set, but you must pay more attention when changing it, so as not to get caught by others. The secrets of those so-called famous ladies And means, also have to guard against."
