Chapter 27 Cream Powder

This peddler looked inconspicuous, but he was very well equipped with all kinds of cosmetics. Perhaps he knew that the market potential near Qin Mansion was huge.

Ding Jingzhu was also attracted by this ancient cosmetics. The thrushes were roughly divided into two types, numbs and eyebrows.

The numb shaped like a conch, with thick middle and thin ends. Dip the tip of the numb numb in some water, and you can use it directly to draw the thrush.

Eyebrow ink needs to be carefully refined like grinding ink, and dipped it with a pen before it can be used to draw the eyebrows.

The colors vary, including dark black and dark brown, but some are also uncommon, such as red.

There is also rouge made of various natural dyes. In addition to being able to be applied to the face and mouth, it has the functions of lipstick and blush.

Only women who are particular will separate facial fat and mouth fat.

There are three types of makeup powder, rice flour made of rice, lead-containing Hu flour, and jasmine kernels.

However, Ding Jingzhu looked at the color of the makeup powder and was afraid that it would be scary in the middle of the night, so she had no intention of buying it.

I only took a box of jasmine cream for maintenance, and it looked similar to Danhong.

Thinking of Youlan, who had entered Anshoutang with her, was destined to be together, but they bought a box for her as a gift.

As for the various osmanthus head oils, rose head oils and peach head oils that the peddler strongly promoted, Ding Jingzhu sternly refused.

In this era when hair is not often washed, girls and wives need to rely on these fragrant hair oil to overshadow the smell on their heads, and there is also an aesthetic trend of greasy and smooth hair as their beauty.

But Ding Jingzhu really can't accept this kind of thing.

When Wang Zhizhi saw Ding Jingzhu take a box of jasmine paste, she also took a box of her. In addition, she also took a snail for thrush painting.

After the two looked for a while, Ding Jingzhu pulled Wang Zhizhi away from the peddler's place.

It happened that an old farmer was selling his own candied fruits, but Ding Jingzhu bought some dried apricots, dried sweet potatoes and dried peaches. She thought she was just sweet when she was bored.

Wang Zhizhi didn’t need any snacks. She was in the big kitchen, and she could eat all kinds of things whenever she was hungry.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the door of Fuxin Buzhuang.

Seeing that the two of them had pulled a few feet of cloth each, the boss guessed that the two were from Qin Mansion and said with a smile:

"If the two girls have free time to do scattered embroidery work, they might as well send it to our Fuxin Buzhuang."

"The things we collect are low, not as high as the Min'an embroidery workshop opposite."

The two looked at the smiling boss and agreed.

The two of them walked around for a while, and as they saw that the time was almost over, they each ate a bowl of braised noodles and returned to the Qin Mansion.

Wang Zhizhi returned to Cai’s mother’s yard, and Ding Jingzhu also returned to Anshoutang’s back room.

After preparing the things I bought today, Ding Jingzhu gave Youlan the jasmine paste he bought specially.

Youlan still looked childish, and she pulled her eyes like grapes and said, "Thank you Sanni, Sister Jingzhu."

"Sister Jinzhi also asked me to take a vacation today, but when I went to Sister Ningyu, she said that I was too busy to go away, so I couldn't rest."

Ding Jingzhu frowned, and it seemed that there were maids who bullied people based on their background and rank positions everywhere.

"Next time you tell Ningyu that this is An Shoutang's rule. At worst, she will definitely follow the old lady."

Youlan was embarrassed to say, "It's not a problem, it won't matter if I stay for more time."

"In the past, I was busy during the autumn harvest. I had to pick wild vegetables and wash clothes to feed chickens on weekdays. Now it's very easy to save myself."

Ding Jingzhu looked at Youlan with no false expression, so she had to give up persuading her.

Youlan said embarrassedly: "Sister Jingzhu, if Sister Ningyu asks me to take a vacation next time, can I go with you and Sister Zhizhi?"

Ding Jingzhu looked at Youlan with her eyes wide open, her heart softened, she touched her head and said, "Okay."

While the two were talking, Danhong and Hanhui came into the house.

Ding Jingzhu brought the candied fruits, but the four of them ate some together.

Danhong looked at the jasmine cream that Ding Jingzhu bought and smiled:

"This jasmine cream is suitable for nourishing the skin. My mother said that if you use too much of those powders, it will hurt your body."

"Women need to take care of their appearance from the inside, and Tremella, red dates, and wolfberry are all nourishing their bodies."

As he said that, Danhong stroked his black hair and said, "My mother gave me black sesame seeds since she was a child, and now she has such good hair."

Ding Jingzhu looked up and said that it was really not easy to raise her hair like red under this situation, so she exclaimed a few words.

Hanhui was a little angry for some reason: "If you keep talking, it's your mother. If you don't know, you are here to be the master of Anshoutang?"

Danhong was not angry either, and pinched a piece of dried apricot and chewed it in her mouth: "A girl has to get married when she is old, so what's wrong with cherishing her appearance."

"I want to tell you that although I don't have the idea of ​​my master, if I can find a confidant who is of the right age and valued by the master, it would be nice to be a powerful manager in the future."

Ding Jingzhu was right when she thought Danhong's words. For the maid, this was the best way out besides climbing the bed.

Hanhui blocked her words for a moment, but she didn't say anything and went out with a veil.

Danhong and Hanhui's home are close to each other, so they can go home and take a shower on vacation.

Ding Jingzhu and others who live in the mansion can only use the only room that takes care of miscellaneous items and the thatched cottage to take a bath and wash, which is extremely inconvenient.

First, there were about twenty girls living in the room after that, and they had to come in from time to time to solve their gastrointestinal problems. If you take a bath, you will easily see the sky and taste uncomfortable.

Second, the tea room and kitchen that supplies hot water throughout Anshoutang does not have the ability to burn enough hot water. Few people on the cards cannot enjoy enough hot water treatment.

As for bathing with hot water made of milk petals or Chinese medicine, just like the masters, you can only dream in your dreams.

Therefore, Ding Jingzhu has been able to use a veil to wipe her body with a hot water over the past few days.

The cleansing of hair depends entirely on the sign-in powder, and you have to suck out the oil and shake it off when people are not paying attention.

But I don’t dare to wash it with water. It’s still cold today. Colds in this era are not trivial.

Now I just hope that summer will come early, so I can take a shower with well water.

Ding Jingzhu came to pay as usual on the second day, but she saw that the nest made of cotton for the thrush and parrot in the corridor disappeared.

Then he asked Cedar: "Sister Cedar, where is the nest I made for the birds?"

Cedar turned his eyes upwards, pinched the obsidian ring on his hand and said, "Your thing is so white, it looks bad, I'll throw it away for you."

"If the old lady saw it, maybe she might be cursing her?"
