Chapter 715 The Yellow Flower Girl
Su Niang's words were also from the heart. Although she was already very familiar with the mansion and began to slowly adapt to life in the capital, Su Niang always felt awkward in this large courtyard.
The reason is simple. Mo Lingshuang and the Western Regions Double Beads need to be said. They are both great beauties, with fine skin and tender flesh, delicate and moist skin. Although Su Niang's skin is much more delicate and whiter than in Liujia Village, there is naturally a difference compared to those girls. This woman is naturally beautiful. She always feels a little uncomfortable when she sees girls who are more beautiful than herself. When she sees those in the mansion, although she is the identity of a mistress, she always feels a little ashamed.
Deep inside her, I really hoped that she was as beautiful as those girls, but she forgot that she had a strong and plump body, healthy skin, and had a different charm.
At this time, seeing that Mrs. Xue was nearly 40 years old but she was so well maintained, she was also ready to move. She thought that she was a teenager younger than Mrs. Xue. If she could also follow Mrs. Xue's method, she might not have lost to several other women.
Mrs. Xue observed her expression and saw Su Niang being moved. She heard Su Niang blurted out and asked, and said with a smile: "There are many ways to maintain this. In addition to paying attention to rest and not staying up late, everyone's maintenance methods are also different. If the mansion is rich, the best way is to soak pearl powder and drink it."
“Pearl Powder?”
Mrs. Xue nodded and took a string of pearl necklace from her body. "It is this kind of pearl, grind it into powder, and then soak it in warm water to drink it. If you take it for a long time, it will naturally delay aging and the skin will be hydrated."
Su Niang saw that the string of pearls was crystal clear and valuable at first glance, and was a little surprised, "Can this thing be drinkable?"
"Of course," Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "In fact, this method is the simplest. It is not like some people. It requires grinding and suffering from various medicinal materials. Moreover, as the saying goes, it is three parts poisonous. No matter what kind of herb is used to take, it will always be bad for the body."
Su Niang asked, "Then how much silver does this string of pearls cost?"
"This is the best pearl." Mrs. Xue explained: "It's only a few hundred taels of silver..."
Su Niang was stunned. She knew that pearls were very expensive, but this small pearl necklace cost hundreds of taels of silver, but she was still surprised. She used to pay for a few cents and a few cents to settle the score. Later, when Chu Huan came back, although her family was well-off and even had dozens of taels of silver, she was used to living a poor life, and even spending a few taels of silver could make Su Niang feel heartbroken.
"Then how long can this string of pearls be taken?" Su Niang asked stuttered.
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "The dosage should be taken at the beginning, and you can add some later." After a pause, he estimated it and said, "Once in the morning and evening, it should last for a month!"
Su Niang couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.
Just for maintenance, drinking pearl powder requires hundreds of taels of silver a month. Wouldn’t it be thousands of taels of silver that year? That would be possible to buy several houses.
Su Niang was a little disbelief.
Mrs. Xue had already put the string of pearls in Su Niang's hand and smiled and said, "Girl, please keep this first. Go back and try it yourself to see if it can work. When grinding, the finer the better. Take it once in the morning and evening. However, this method will not be effective in a short time, and you must persist for a long time."
When Su Niang thought about spending thousands of taels of silver on this every year, she gave up and shook her head and smiled, "This..." She couldn't say she couldn't bear it, so she could only say, "Then there is no other way?"
Mrs. Xue thought for a while and said, "There are many methods, but for your part, this method is the most useful. Many folk methods are not as good as this. The palace ladies naturally have better secret recipes, but we cannot enjoy them." She smiled and said, "There is a Qiqingtang in the capital, which has special maintenance areas. If you like it, I will take you there and take a look, and I am afraid that you will find what you want."
Su Niang was hesitant, and Mrs. Xue gently patted Su Niang's hand and said softly: "Girl, don't blame me. This man is born to be fond of the old and old. When we were young, they were like flowers and jade. Naturally, they were still happy, but as long as they were older and old, they would lose their minds." He leaned closer and whispered: "You are young couples now, and I don't think about some things. I am a veteran. You said that although Lord Chu is young, he is now a high-ranking official of the empire and is used by the court. If you don't use more thoughts, you may not be sure of one day... Oh, girl, don't blame me for talking too much..."
Su Niang hurriedly said, "Erlang is not that kind of person, he...!" When she thought of the "peach blossom disaster" she once said, she didn't know whether the peach blossom disaster had been broken. After being said by Mrs. Xue, she felt really nervous.
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Of course, Lord Chu is not that kind of person." After a pause, he whispered: "Girl, Lord Chu is now in the court. We have very few titles from the Qin Dynasty, but Lord Chu is young and is now an earl..."
"Earl?" Su Niang blinked her eyes, not understanding, "What is Earl?"
Mrs. Xue was not surprised. From the first glance she saw Su Niang, she knew that Su Niang's origin would not be very high. She didn't understand the title of the court, nor was she surprised. She smiled and said, "The Count is the title of the court, the highest honor, and not every official can get the title. Our Great Qin has very few titles. Lord Chu was named the Count at a young age, so he had never had before my Great Qin. This title was personally granted by the Emperor, which shows that the Emperor trusted and loved Lord Chu, and Lord Chu's future will surely be immeasurable!"
Su Niang seemed to understand, but she knew that Chu Huan was an official in the capital, but she really didn't know how high she was. At this time, she saw that Mrs. Xue's words even had a hint of respect. After all, she was also a smart woman. She felt that her husband was really extraordinary. She was surprised and a little nervous. The higher the Chu Huan's official position, the more awe there was in her heart.
"You talk about Lord Chu's current status, so there aren't many people who will come to make friends in the future." Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "It's common for officials to walk around and give gifts. But if an official sends a woman one day, will the girl feel comfortable?"
Su Niang said strangely: "There is someone who sends... to the woman here?"
"Of course there is." Mrs. Xue said: "And the one who sent it will definitely be a beautiful woman. Lord Chu may not take it seriously, but think about it, Lord Chu is young and handsome, and he is a high-ranking official. Even if Lord Chu has no intention, it is hard to guarantee that other women will not have any intention? Girl, do you say that a large group of women around Lord Chu every day, can Lord Chu really control it?"
The more Su Niang listened, the more she became more and more panicked. Although she knew that it was the most common thing for men to have three wives and four concubines. She was born in the countryside, but there were few men who married several wives in the countryside. When she thought that Chu Huan might have several more women, she would even neglect her because of this, she began to worry. Her thoughts were the simplest. Since Chu Li made the decision and promised her to Chu Huan, she thought that she could play with Chu Huan and live a peaceful life. However, after Mrs. Xue said something at this moment, she felt that it was not unreasonable, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in her heart.
Suddenly, I thought of Mo Lingshuang and the Western Regions Shuangzhu. Not to mention the other women, they were these three women. If they had a good impression of Chu Huan, they would be their strong rivals.
Su Niang is a thoughtful person. After arriving in the mansion, although Chu Huan has not been in the mansion for a long time, Chu Huan would occasionally go to see Mo Lingshuang and the Western Regions Shuangzhu, and talk and laugh. At that time, Su Niang felt something was wrong, but she didn't think too much. At this time, she suddenly remembered that the Western Regions Shuang's eyes were fine, but every time Mo Lingshuang looked at Chu Huan, she was a little different. Women were the most sensitive to such things. When Su Niang thought of Ling Shuang's watery eyes and the whispers he heard when he talked to Chu Huan, she felt very stressed.
Seeing Su Niang frowning, Mrs. Xue hurriedly said, "Girl, did I say something wrong? I speak frankly. Although it was the first time I met the girl today, I felt very kind. Just like a sister who has been with me for many years, so don't take it to heart by talking nonsense."
Su Niang hurriedly said, "No, Mrs. Xue, don't say that. I know... I know you are for my own good."
Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that girls can think like this. Alas, who made me and the girl come to the same point at first sight? When I open this conversation, I can't stop my mouth."
Su Niang thought about it before asking carefully: "Mrs. Xue, you said... did you think Erlang really like other women?"
"Master Chu is very good-natured, probably not." Mrs. Xue said: "But sometimes such things cannot be allowed to be men. If you say that the big girl with water is standing in front of you, which man is willing to drive away?" Holding Su Niang's hand, he whispered: "As a woman, the best way is to be able to firmly tie the heart of his man. As long as he tied his man's heart to himself, he would not be able to escape no matter what."
Su Niang hurriedly said, "How to tie his heart?"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "If you want to tie his heart, you must make them moved, so that every time they see you, their hearts will move. Only in this way can they slowly tie their hearts."
Su Niang knew that Mrs. Xue was an old senior at the moment of hearing this. She also wanted to capture Chu Huan's heart. The couple grew old together. Just as they were about to ask for advice, Mrs. Xue had already said: "Let men be moved, this kind of appearance is naturally crucial. Girl, you are like a flower. Lord Chu is naturally moved by you, but if you can take more care of yourself and dress up a little, Lord Chu will be moved by you even more."
The two of them whispered for a long time, and Su Niang felt that she was really like an old acquaintance with Mrs. Xue. At this time, she couldn't help but blush her pretty face and lowered her head and said, "I...I can't dress up!"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry if I'm here." After a pause, he leaned close to Su Niang's ear and whispered, "Girl, don't blame me for taking the blame. I think you are... still a yellow girl?"
