A few days later, Mrs. Chen came to the door again.
Li Mo did not express any surprise at Mrs. Chen's visit, it should be that the matter has come to fruition.
Sure enough, this is what Mrs. Chen wanted to talk about when she came to the door today. Miss Jiu was immediately spotted by Mr. Shangfeng that day. Mr. Shangfeng left here today, taking Miss Jiu along with her.
Li Mo wasn't surprised after hearing this, but she was relieved in her heart. Miss Jiu is gone, and this matter has nothing to do with her from now on.
Mrs. Chen saw Li Mo's relieved appearance, so she also laughed, followed by a sigh of relief.
This matter has been successfully completed, and she, the middleman, pleases both sides.
In fact, what Li Mo and Mrs. Chen didn't know was that this matter was not that simple. Li Mo was almost occupied by Miss Nine.
The thing is like this, after Miss Nine was favored by Master Shangfeng, after the joy faded a little, she began to think about the hero behind this incident, that is, Li Molai.
She looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, although she didn't want to admit it, but she still understood in her heart that she was not so outstanding, and Li Mo's makeup skills could magnify her original seven-point beauty to ten times, and then she After thinking about it, if Li Mo can be turned into her special make-up girl, and she will be dressed up so beautifully every day, then there will be no long-term favor from adults.
Thinking of this, Miss Jiu went to discuss this matter with her own mother.
But the third aunt raised objections.
"My silly girl, that make-up girl is really skilled, but didn't you see her appearance that day? Her appearance is very good, but it's because she was dressed in rags and didn't make any makeup. Think about it, if she dresses up seriously, can you compare to her? If Master Shangfeng takes a fancy to her by then, wouldn’t you shoot yourself in the foot! The maids stay here, and I will pick two ordinary-looking girls to bring to you."
Miss Jiu didn't think of this level, and now her mother thinks it makes sense, but when she thinks of Li Mo's makeup skills, she is very moved, and hesitates: "Doesn't the makeup girl have a husband and son?" , I shouldn’t have that kind of thought about adults.”
The third aunt immediately sneered, "You, you think too much about people. The Zhuangniang looks like a person who has lived a hard life. If she can get in touch with the glory and wealth, who will not be tempted? Who will remember when the time comes? The poor man at home, you are right about this matter."
Seeing that her daughter still couldn't make up her mind, Third Aunt said again: "You are in our small place, that's why you think that makeup girl is very skilled. When you go to the capital, what kind of good makeup girl can't be found? It's not difficult to find someone here who has much better makeup skills than this makeup girl."
When Miss Jiu heard this, she suddenly felt that her vision was still too narrow. Her mother was right, there was no such makeup girl in Beijing, and she would just find another one at that time, so as not to take this young and beautiful makeup girl to Ansheng.
In this way, Miss Nine let go of the decision to turn Li Mo into a personal servant girl.
Both Li Mo and Mrs. Chen thought that this matter was over, but they didn't know that there would be another disturbance in the future, this is something to be said.
After Mrs. Chen finished talking about this, she talked about the second thing of the day.
"Ms. Song, I'm here today not only to tell you about the last time, but also for one more thing. I don't know if you remember the girls you saw at my house last time?"
Of course Li Mo remembered that there were four girls present at that time, she put makeup on two of them, and the other two girls also wanted her to do makeup on them, but there was not enough time to do makeup on the other two girls I left in a hurry.
Seeing that Li Mo remembered, Mrs. Chen continued: "A girl who didn't get your makeup last time is still thinking about you this time. That girl is going to her uncle's house to celebrate her grandmother's birthday this time. She doesn't want to be raped by her." My cousin looks down on her, so I just want you to put on some makeup for her to make her look pretty."
Li Mo asked one more question this time, "The girl's family is an ordinary family, right?"
Seeing that Li Mo seemed to be still in fear, Mrs. Chen patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, the people I will introduce to you in the future are sure to be ordinary people, and I won't get involved with those officials. This girl and My family is similar, and it is also an ordinary family, so you can rest assured."
Hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Li Mo was relieved, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go. When is the time to put on makeup this time?"
Mrs. Chen said: "Three days later, but I have to work hard for you. You have to go early that day, and their family has to leave early and come back that evening, so you can't delay, you can only put on makeup as soon as possible."
Seeing Li Mo pondering, Mrs. Chen said: "Their family also knows that you are far away, so they are embarrassed to ask you to go so early, so I promise you to give you an extra ten cents as travel expenses."
Li Mo was not considering whether to go or not, but was thinking about when to get up. Now that she heard that she would not refuse an extra ten cents, she nodded and said yes, "Madam, please tell that family. The morning after tomorrow, I will Arrived at the beginning."
Mrs. Chen smiled and thanked the family first, then took her leave and left.
When Song Dashan came back from pulling the cart, Li Mo told him about it, and said, "We have to leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow, we can't wait to pull people from the village."
Song Dashan nodded, "Well, I'll take you there the day after tomorrow, and I'll tell everyone later that I can't get out of the car the day after tomorrow, so the villagers don't wait for my car."
On the day they went to the town, Li Mo and Song Dashan got up early to wash up, then picked up Xiaobao who was still asleep, dressed, and put them quietly in the car.
Today Song Dashan sent her there and waited there, he could take Xiaobao with him, father and son could be each other's companions, and he didn't have to leave Xiaobao at someone else's house every time he went out.
When it was still dark, Song Dashan drove Li Mo and Xiaobao to the town, found a place according to the address Mrs. Chen had left, and parked the car at the gate.
Li Mo stepped forward and patted on the door, and soon someone came out to open the door.
Li Mo explained the purpose of coming, and the people inside quickly welcomed the family of three inside and put the carriage in the backyard.
The hostess of this house came out to welcome her. She was one of the wives I saw at Chen Xiaoting's house last time, and the girl behind her was also the one who had seen her make up at Chen Xiaoting's house last time. The two of them were obviously impressed by Li Mo, smiling He said to Li Mo: "Lady Song, long time no see, I really troubled you today, please come here so early."
Li Mo smiled and said: "It's okay, your family is in a hurry, it's okay if I come over early."
At this time, the wife of the family saw Song Dashan and Xiaobao in Song Dashan's arms who were following behind, and immediately said: "This is your husband and child, please sit down, Lihua, go and get some pastries to greet the guests."
The girl named Lihua in the back nodded, turned around and went into another room, and after a while came out with a few plates of snacks and put them on the table, and then picked them up and stuffed them into the hands of Xiaobao who was watching with wide eyes for him to eat.
Little Treasure was stuffed with pastry, so he didn't dare to eat it right away, but looked at Li Mo.
Li Mo had taught him before that he should not eat food given by others indiscriminately, and he had to ask the adults if he could eat it first. Xiaobao has since remembered that every time someone gives him something, he has to ask Li Mo or Song Dashan.
Li Mo smiled and nodded, and said to Xiaobao: "Eat, remember to thank Auntie."
Xiao Bao nodded obediently, and arched his little hand towards Li Hua, "Thank you, Auntie."
Lihua was intrigued by Xiaobao's cute appearance, and couldn't help but reached out to touch Xiaobao's bun.
In order to finish it as soon as possible, Li Mo asked Song Dashan to wait here with Xiaobao, while she followed the host to Lihua's room.
Lihua sat on the dressing table, raised her face and said to Li Mo: "Sister, last time you made Xiaoting look so good, I was so itchy to be next to you, but you didn't have time to give it to me when you were in a hurry to go back." I have been thinking about it once, and I can finally invite you this time."
Li Mo was amused by her witty words, and said: "Then I must make you look really good this time, otherwise I'm really sorry for thinking about you for so many days."
Lihua nodded seriously, "You must make me look good, let my group of cousins with eyes above the top look at me, and let them say that I am a country bumpkin!"
Lihua's mother scolded her, "What are you talking about! That's your cousin!"
Lihua pouted dissatisfiedly, "That's right, isn't it because my family is in the city, isn't it because my family is rich, what's the big deal, they always laugh at me, call me ugly, and call me ugly, this time I insist on letting Let them see if I'm ugly!"
Li Huaniang shook her head helplessly at what she said, and couldn't help but blame her, "Even if you look beautiful today, it's because of your makeup, and taking off your makeup doesn't mean you're back to your original appearance."
Lihua said indifferently: "Anyway, I only see them once today, and I won't see them again in the future. It's enough for me to be beautiful today, and make them envy me to death."
Li Huaniang was completely speechless.
Li Mo also began to put makeup on Lihua with a faint smile.
In fact, this pear blossom is not ugly, it looks like five points at the level of normal people, Li Mo's job today is to improve the appearance of pear blossoms, Li Mo guesses that she can raise the appearance of pear blossoms to seven or eight points .
Lihua's facial features are relatively plain, there is no particularly bright or ugly place, they are all at a normal level, and what Li Mo needs to do is to make each of the facial features look good, so that the overall appearance will improve.
The skin has to be whiter, the eyes have to be bigger, the nose has to be straighter, the mouth has to be smaller, the chin has to be sharper, the face has to be smaller, and the hairstyle has to be prettier. Each item needs to be dealt with slowly. It took Li Mo half an hour. .
After half an hour, Li Mo stopped.
Ever since Li Hua saw Li Mo's make-up last time, she was convinced of Li Mo's make-up without any doubts. What I think is not "have you become more beautiful", but "how beautiful you are now."
Lihua didn't have time to turn around to let her mother take a look first, but she couldn't wait to look in the mirror to see her own appearance.
After seeing her own appearance, Lihua couldn't help looking at her facial features in the mirror again, and found that it was not without reason that she became beautiful. Looking at her facial features, she simply changed, her eyes were bigger than before , her nose became straight and delicate, her mouth was tender and rosy, and her face became a slapped face. Obviously her face was not so small, but everything became beautiful anyway, and the person was even more beautiful.
Li Huaniang, who was waiting at the side, saw that her daughter was still watching, so she didn't turn around to show herself for a long time, and shouted angrily: "Have you finished reading it, and give mother a look after reading it, you dead girl."
Lihua rolled her eyes, reluctantly put down the mirror and turned her head to show her mother, "Here, look, it's just so beautiful."
Li Huaniang wanted to say that she was not ashamed, but after seeing Li Hua's appearance, she swallowed her words.
It is indeed beautiful.
Lihua happily said: "Who dares to say that I am ugly now, I look better than the third cousin who is the most beautiful in my uncle's family, and I am so angry with them."
Li Huaniang didn't want to talk to her stupid daughter, so she took out twenty-five Wen coins and gave them to Li Mo, "Ms. Song, you can keep this money. Thank you today. I won't say any more polite words. I should have kept the money today." You guys came down to have a meal, but we have to leave early, so we can't keep you for dinner, forgive me."
Li Mo waved his hand, "You're welcome, it's important for you to go on your way, and we'll take our leave too."
Li Mo packed up the cosmetic box, then went to the front room to find Song Dashan and Xiaobao, and the family of three went to the backyard to pull out the donkey cart and went out together.
After coming out of Lihua's house, the sky was already bright, and the streets began to be lively.
Li Mo remembered that there was no more flour at home, not much rice, and her cosmetics were about to be used up, so she asked Song Dashan to go to the market to buy all at once.
First went to the grain store, bought a bag of rice and noodles for the family, then went to the place where pork was sold, bought a catty of pork belly and some pig bones, and gave them to Xiaobao at the pastry place not far away. After buying some pastries, I finally went to the cosmetics shop last time to buy cosmetics.
After buying everything, Li Mo went to a shop with the Four Treasures of the Study.
He said that he wanted to teach Xiaobao by himself first, then he had to buy some stationery. There was nothing at home, and he couldn’t even find a piece of paper, so he had to buy all these.
After Li Mo went in, she bought some of the cheapest paper, then asked for a brush and an inkstone, and finally bought a three-character classic for children's enlightenment.
It was only when Li Mo came out that she deeply realized why ordinary people can't afford to read books in this era, it's really too expensive.
Little Treasure didn't think about money, but when he saw the pens, inks, papers and inkstones he bought, he was overjoyed. Holding these things, he looked left and right, reluctant to let go, and even opened the Three Character Classic on the road to read. .
Although I can't understand anything, I still look at it carefully.
