"Alan, you are exaggerating too much."
On the official road more than ten miles away from Zhanjiang Pass, hundreds of guards dressed up as guards guarded several carriages.
Feng Yi's smiling voice floated out of the carriage, followed by a clear and clean retort from a young man, vaguely embarrassed. The person who refuted it was not someone else, it was naturally Sun Lan, just listening to the boy's voice could make up for his jumping expression.
"Rong Li, your face is as white as jade, and you can't get black no matter what, so you don't have to worry about it. How can you understand my heartache?"
While pouting in anger, Sun Lan stirred the jade cup with a small jade spoon. From time to time, she dug a few spoons from the dozen or so small boxes of green sandalwood lined up on the table and threw them into the jade cup to stir. After being busy for a long time, I carefully applied the viscous finished product in the jade cup to my face.
When Fengyi came in, what he saw was Sun Lan who was wearing a mask. Only two eyes and one mouth were exposed on her entire face. The rest of her face was covered with a thick layer of pearl barley powder mask. Feng Yi looked at his posture, and he laughed too, who made a lot of noise.
"You don't understand, this is a very popular whitening method in Maruzhou." Sun Lan took a small mirror and looked at it. It was not very comfortable to put something heavy on her face, and she spoke carefully, for fear of cracking the mask, "No. Young celebrities are very popular, and the effect is good. Do you see my grandfather getting younger and younger? He said that he does it every three days, and he is indeed much younger. "
Sun Lan was busy at Zhanjiang Pass and became a husky. During the daytime, she would get up and exercise for half an hour. After breakfast, she went to work. She was busy until sunset before she could get off work. After dinner, she continued to hold the textbooks of Jinlin Academy. Study until the beginning of the child can not fall asleep.
Every day is full of schedules, where do you have time to learn about the fashion in Maruzhou
So, how did Sun Lan know that these beauty methods are popular in Maruzhou
Speaking of this, Sun Lan feels that her three views have been reshaped. Her grandfather actually collected the usage of various pearl masks, what accessories are used for each pearl mask, and the amount of the accessories is recorded. If it weren't for this, Sun Lan wouldn't know that her grandfather lived so well. He only slept for more than three hours a day, and his grandfather was so busy cooking rabbit meat hot pot that he actually maintained his beauty!
Fengyi almost didn't react when she heard it, Mr. Sun... Make a bed mask for beauty and beauty
He depicted in his mind the scene of the old man carefully preparing the mask and reading a book with the mask on.
"This method... I've never heard of it..."
Fengyi knows that pearl powder is good for beauty, but she has never heard of it.
Sun Landao said, "It is said that it has become popular in recent years. The southern Junhe channel is specialized in producing river beads. There is a pearl-picking girl here. She is deeply impressed by the hard work of her parents and her family. She was inspired to learn to make beads artificially. Making pearls, relying on this to make a lot of money, the neighbors followed suit, which caused the price of nearby river beads to plummet, and the river beads could not be sold. At this time, there was another daughter, whose ancestors are said to be from the former Daxia inner court female officials, and have learned a lot. There are countless secret recipes for beauty and beauty, and these secret recipes all require pearl powder as medicine…”
Most of the people near the river channel make a living from pearl mining, which is difficult and dangerous, and tragedies occur from time to time.
With the advent of troubled times, the days of these pearl diggers have also become difficult. People can't even eat, and they are still in the mood to play pearls. Despite this, the people who dredged the river could not give up the work of pearl mining. Instead, they had to collect more pearls to make a living. This led to an increase in the production of pearls in the past few years, but the selling price of pearls had been falling. unspeakable trouble.
When Fengyi was still studying in the academy, the master mentioned this.
Unexpectedly, the people over there actually learned how to make beads artificially, causing the river beads to flood even more.
Feng Yi said, "The nobles are so fascinated by pearl powder, and they use this to beautify their face. The price of pearls..."
Sun Lan said with a smile, "Of course it has risen, but it hasn't risen too much. This is a good thing. Every household who had dredged the river for pearls began to raise river pearls, which caused the price of river pearls to plummet. There is no return. Now with this way, some pearls of poor quality are sold in batches to fat powder merchants, milled into powder, and sold very well, and many people who are attached to this have a way to survive.”
Feng Yi listened, frowning slightly.
Sun Lan added, "Grandpa told me, do you know who is the big buyer of Hezhu?"
Feng Yi asked, "Who is it?"
Sun Lan said, "General Fu's family."
Feng Yi was stunned and said in surprise, "General Fu is still on the front line, and he is alone, how could he be involved in these businesses?"
Although there are only a few words, Feng Yi can also guess the huge benefits hidden behind this business.
The law does not expressly stipulate that officials cannot do business, but competing for profit with the people is indeed a despised behavior by scholars.
Sun Lan shook her head and said, "Grandpa's original words - that wolf cub took a good daughter-in-law back, hum, the ancestral grave in the last life was smoked."
Feng Yi understood.
"Miss Hui?"
"Yeah, amazing girl, really can't be underestimated."
With the encouragement of Jiang Pengji, Huijun did not trap herself in the backyard, but thought about how to start a business and find a way out.
The spinning wheel operated by water power has been completed. It was put into trial operation two or three years ago, and the effect is naturally good. However, because cotton has not yet been mass-produced, the types of these spinning wheels are limited. Open a fabric shop.
She studied a lot of literature on fabric dyeing, printing and dyeing, as well as the content of various spice rouge, combined with the situation, opened a comprehensive store selling rouge gouache and finished fabrics. In the face of Jiang Pengji and Fu Wang, the business of this shop is good.
Of course, Huijun's ambition is not just to support her family, she wants to make a lot of money.
She wants to make the store bigger, and service quality and product quality are the top priorities.
In the early days, she was always in charge. After the store was on the right track, she did not let up.
There is a habit of pearl powder in the palace for beauty. Huijun does not want to miss this business opportunity, so she needs a stable and cheap supply of pearls.
Accidentally learned that the river beads rich in river beads are flooded, the price is terribly low, and every family is unsalable.
Huijun suffered a lot in the first half of her life, but her luck in the second half of her life was amazing. She sent people to buy Hezhu, and bought many secret recipes from a pearl girl. Although the pearl picker claimed that the secret recipe was the secret recipe of the Xia Dynasty, Huijun didn't believe it. The Xia Dynasty has indeed been destroyed for many years, but the inheritance of those noble families has not been broken...
What is the gentry
It was a shrewd family who had a happy life and was above the royal family. If there is such a secret recipe in the palace, can they not know
There is no reason to prevaricate the past with the secret recipe of the Xia Dynasty...
