"Yeah! Didn't you just complain that your skin is not white enough? This set is whitening and moisturizing, and the effect is very good. There are cleansing cream, skin care water, whitening essence, and face cream in this set...you use it in the order I just said , use it once a day in the morning and evening, and use it for a month or so to ensure that your skin is whiter than it is now, and the water is so fresh, it will definitely fascinate my brother!" Yu Xiaocao smiled with her lips pursed.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls, married and had children abound in the former dynasty. Yu Hang and Liu Huifang are just beginning to fall in love. Even the intersection of eyes will cause a burst of blush. Liu Huifang, who was teased by Xiaocao, was so hot that she could fry an egg.
Seeing that Sister Huifang's head was buried in her chest, Yu Xiaocao said in moderation: "By the way, this is the autumn hunting time. The skins of the red and black foxes that our family Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai hunted, you take them with you." Go back and make hats and scarves for Uncle Shuan Zhu and his body. Those elders in Beijing will wear fur hats in winter, but this black fox fur is not something that anyone can buy!"
"Since it's so rare, let's leave it to Uncle Yu and Auntie." Liu Huifang touched the soft and delicate hair of the black fox fur, knowing that it must be very valuable even if she didn't know the goods.
"Our Xiaohei and Xiaobai can do it. Not only my parents have it, but my grandfather and godfather and godmother have left a share! These two pieces are specially prepared for Uncle Shuanzhu and Auntie. Oh, this box of pastries , I got it from my own shop, and the taste is definitely not worse than the one in Daoxiang Village last year. Take it back and give it to Tiedan and Sister Yaer to taste!" Yu Xiaocao was very careful, and everyone in Liu's family took care of the gifts she prepared. Knowing that Little Tiedan is studying, he also gave a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
"This...isn't it too expensive?" Leaving aside the two pieces of leather, let's just talk about the skin care products of 'Hua Xiangrong'. When she followed her father to Fucheng to deliver the goods, she once heard a lady from a certain family show off a piece proudly. The handmade soap is said to be produced by the most famous "Hua Xiangrong" in Beijing, and it costs at least a dozen taels of silver a piece. He also said that "Hua Xiangrong" took the aristocratic route, and the price was frighteningly high, and it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to get a card. A small piece of soap is so expensive, and this set of beautifully packaged skin care products may not be worth a few hundred taels of silver.
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes at her, and said: "These gifts, the furs were hunted by myself, the skin care products and pastries were taken from my own shop, except for the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, how expensive are they? Sister Huifang, who did you learn from being a mother-in-law? You are not as sharp as before. If you don't accept me, I will not recognize you as a sister-in-law!"
If she refused again, it would be too much, so Liu Huifang had no choice but to accept the gift with a blushing face. The two little sisters were chatting happily when they heard someone shout from the yard: "Aunt Yu, I heard that Sister Xiaocao is back, let me come and see her!"
Mrs. Liu, who was helping the four girls to move things into the warehouse, looked up and saw the little girl of the Zheng family, and the smile on her face froze slightly. Mrs. Liu doesn't like Zheng Xiaocui from the bottom of her heart. This girl has a lot of thoughts, always thinking of gaining benefits from others, and even treats people as fools, thinking that others don't know about it!
In the past, whenever the king of Yangjun came to look for Xiaocao, she would come forward, and said that he wanted to be the concubine of the prince of the county, and Cao'er's little sisters didn't come to the house to play with her. Later, I don't know what the king of Yangjun said. This girl hasn't come to look for her little daughter for a long time.
I thought she would calm down, but who knew that seeing the Yu family's life getting more and more popular, she actually made up her own son's idea. As soon as Yu Hang came back from Tanggu, he would always "encounter" with her in the village. A few times, the girl spoke coquettishly, her eyes wishing to stick to her son. Fortunately, Hang'er didn't have a good impression of her, and every time he greeted her politely, he walked away quickly. But Zheng Xiaocui still didn't give up, and often used looking for Xiaolian as an excuse to stay at home for a long time, and deliberately pretended not to understand other people's winks and orders to chase away guests. Really helpless!
I don't know what little calculations she has in mind when she comes to the house this time. Although Mrs. Liu doesn't like her, but after all, it's not easy to drive people out of the village, so she forced a smile and said, "Cao'er is chatting with Huifang in the house..."
"Hui Fang is here too?" Zheng Xiaocui's face changed slightly, and the jealousy in his eyes couldn't be hidden. Mother said, women chase men's interlayer yarn. She thought that if she ran more diligently and created more opportunities to get in touch with Yu Hang, that kind and honest boy would be captured by her soon. Who knows that guy is just a lump of wood, no matter what she expresses or hints, he won't answer.
Mother said that some boys are late to awaken, maybe Yu Hang has not yet awakened emotionally. But who would have thought that it didn't take long for the news that the Yu family intended to marry Huifang of the Liu family. Although they had not been formally engaged, they had already exchanged tokens. How is that bitch Liu Huifang better than her? Dealing with chickens all day, smelly all over, not as pretty as her, is that guy Yu Hang blind? He didn't choose himself, he chose her! !
Zheng Xiaocui is about the same age as Huifang, and will be sixteen after the new year. Her elder sister was married to a cripple ten years older than her at the age of sixteen, because his family could afford the bride price of fifty taels of silver. The Zheng family's reputation in Dongshan Village is not good. Men are lazy and patriarchal. In the eyes of the father, the role of the daughter is to work and exchange gifts.
Zheng Xiaocui looks like a pretty little beauty, her father has long been planning how to get the most benefit from her! Therefore, when his daughter posted shamelessly to the Yu family, he also turned a blind eye. If the daughter-in-law became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu family, wouldn't the Yu family's huge property belong to the Zheng family? After learning that there was no hope for Yu Hang, he inquired from the matchmaker that there was a rich man in the town who wanted to accept a concubine in the twelfth room, and it was said that there was two hundred taels of silver as a dowry!
Zheng Xiaocui almost fainted when she learned from her mother that she was going to be sold to an old man as a concubine. If you want to be a concubine, you have to do the same for Yang Junwang! Thinking of King Yang's face that is more beautiful than his own, and his stalwart figure, not to mention his status. At this time, she had already thrown the words of King Yang's threat to her out of the blue!
When she heard that Xiaocao was going home for the New Year, she had already counted the days and looked forward to it. Xiaocao has lived in the capital for a long time, and has a close relationship with King Yang. If she can be persuaded to take her to the capital, she will always have a chance to get close to King Yang and let him see her charm!
This girl dares to think! Not to mention that Yang Junwang's mind-reading skills can see through her inner thoughts at once, but she doesn't have this ability. Even the guards around Zhu Junyang don't like her appearance like noodles in clear soup, let alone read people. There are countless Yangjun kings.
Zheng Xiaocui looked at the mountains of annual gifts in the courtyard, and the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart grew wildly. If Yu Hang hadn't been hooked up by that bitch Liu Huifang, all these silks and satins, gold and silver jewellery, antiques, and various specialties of the capital would all be hers, hers! !
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xiaocui tried her best to pull her eyes away from so many precious gifts. There is no hope for her with Yu Hang, but as long as she becomes the concubine of Prince Yang, if she wants status, money and wealth, isn't it better than marrying into a local rich man's family
For the goal in my heart, I cheered up, showed what I thought was the most enthusiastic smile, and entered Xiaocao's boudoir: "Xiaocao, I know you are back, and I specially brought your favorite pecans and hazelnuts, which are delicious It's delicious, try it!"
Yu Xiaocao lingered on her for a moment, then turned to sister Huifang for help: Who is this? Why am I not impressed? When she was in Dongshan Village before, she was busy with this or that, and she seldom interacted with the villagers. Only Sister Huifang, Shanhu and Qian Yafang were good friends in the boudoir, and the others just nodded and smiled when they met. just laugh.
Zheng Xiaocui almost couldn't keep the smile on her face: What does this mean? When she became the princess, she became defiant, even her playmate? Well you Yu Xiaocao, I never thought you were this kind of person!
Liu Huifang also knew that Zheng Xiaocui had thoughts about Yu Hang, but they were all from the same village, and they usually looked down and didn't see them when they looked up, so it was hard to keep a straight face and ignore them. Seeing Xiaocao's reaction, she almost burst out laughing: You look so affectionate and affectionate as a sister, people don't even remember you, so it's a proper slap in the face!
But think about it too! In the past, every time she made an appointment with Xiaocao to go to the sea, or dig wild vegetables or pick wild fruits, Zheng Xiaocui used her name to force her to come. Later, Xiaocao was busy, so she rarely had the opportunity to go to the mountains and seas together. This happened a few years ago, and it was reasonable that Xiaocao couldn't remember Zheng Xiaocui.
"Sister Xiaocao, this is Zheng Xiaocui, who lives not far from my house. We used to go mushroom picking together!" Liu Huifang introduced her in a few words.
Yu Xiaocao frowned and thought for a while, and immediately showed a dazed expression. Zheng Xiaocui immediately turned into a flower with a smile on her face, took Xiaocao's little hand as thin as fat, and said affectionately: "Yes! It was me. You called me Miss Xiaocui at that time. You haven't been back to Dongshan Village for almost two years. Back then, I was young, so it’s understandable that I couldn’t remember clearly.”
Yu Xiaocao remembered that she was warned by the king of Yangjun at that time, not to get too close to her, saying that she had bad intentions. Although she didn't feel anything, she didn't doubt Zhu Junyang's ability at all. As the saying goes: if you have nothing to do, you can be courteous, if you are either rape or steal! It seemed that she had to brace herself and not get caught up in it.
"Oh! I remembered! It's the one who said that Shanhu wanted to be a concubine for King Yang and drove her away!" Yu Xiaocao pulled her hand out of her palm and slapped her face with a clear look.
Zheng Xiaocui's face froze suddenly: You damn girl, what's wrong with memorizing, she just remembered this.
Just as she was racking her brains to figure out how to get the word out, Yu Xiaocao spoke again: "Xiao Cui, where did you hear about the concubine? There is no one in Dongshan Village who sells his daughter to someone else as a concubine." precedent."
