Chapter 68

Bai Xin's rouge creams of various colors have really become popular. Those little ladies who bought one color can't help but buy another color, or some are hesitant, they like all of them, and wish they didn't have a color both.

"Bai Sanlang, the colors of your rouge cream are all beautiful and bright, it's really worrying, which color do you think I should buy better!" The person who spoke was a little maid from the opposite door, who often buys things at Bai Xin, She was familiar with it after going back and forth, and she was always familiar with it, so she opened her mouth to speak coquettishly. After she finished speaking, she realized her almost frivolous words, and she immediately blushed. Hang down, twist up.

If an ordinary young man with a vigorous blood is teased by such a delicate and young lady, he may be preoccupied, but in his bones, Bai Xin would not have any thoughts about this kind of lady. He glanced at the other party frankly, and then introduced Said: "The matching of rouge is also particular. The clothes should be gorgeous, and the makeup should be light, so that they can complement each other, and vice versa. At the same time, it is also related to the seasons. For example, spring makeup should be bright, summer makeup should be thin, and autumn and winter makeup should be slightly lighter." It should be thicker, like now, when the spring flowers are blooming, my lady, you are in the age of cardamom, the rouge color is more suitable for this tender red, powdery, and the complexion is as fresh as lotus with dew."

The little lady was fascinated by what she heard, and when Bai Xin finished speaking, her heart moved slightly. She pointed at her plain hand and said shyly, "I heard you are right. If that's the case, I want this tender powder rouge cream." After that, she paused, her eyes kept glancing at the other bottle, she gritted her teeth, and said, "Seeing that it's getting hotter, you said summer makeup should be thinner, so here's this begonia color one, I really like it so much." .”

Bai Xin happily responded, and quickly brought her two bottles of rouge cream.

……

In the Bai family, Mrs. Cao was leading the whole family to grind spices when they heard a crisp call from outside, "Aunt Bai, are you here? I'm here to play with you."

I don't know if it's because the family is rich, or because Aunt Bai is thinking about it. After coming to the capital for a few months, she finally gradually integrated into this new environment. She became more cheerful every day, and even made friends with the little lady next door.

Aunt Bai stood up, stretched her neck and responded, "Miss Xia, you go back and wait for me first, I'll go find you right away."

After speaking, he confessed to his mother: "Mother, I'll go to Mrs. Xia's house."

Mrs. Cao stopped her hands and complained, "The family is so busy, you still have time to play."

When Wu Niang heard about the game, she was also moved. She blinked and looked at the eldest sister, as if she wanted to go together.

Aunt Bai is not such a careless person, she smiled slyly and said: "I didn't really go to play, Miss Xia saw that the rouge on my mouth looks good, so she kept asking, do I have a few bottles with me?" Show her, maybe she will buy it."

When Mrs. Cao heard that they were selling rouge cream, she immediately felt happy, and instead waved her hands and urged: "In this case, go quickly, she has two sister-in-laws at home, maybe she wants to buy more bottles."

Aunt Bai replied briskly, and went back to the house to get a few bottles of rouge cream. She looked at these bottles and jars, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and the smile in her eyes was even wider. The third brother is always generous. She and her sister-in-law each kept a bottle, and Mrs. Bai was always low-key and didn't dare to show it off, so she only used the light-colored 'Begonia Red', even if it was applied on the face, it was just like drunk, from the inside to the outside. Light pink, no wonder Mrs. Xia kept pulling her to ask how to put on her makeup.

Aunt Bai went to the next door with these bottles and jars, and after a few steps, she hurried back and told her mother, "Mother, if someone else answers the door, please don't open it, please don't open it." Don't open it."

The eldest brother and the third brother went out to set up a stall, and he was not there. Only the mother and sister-in-law stayed at home, with Wu Niang and Gouzi. After he couldn't say a few words, he was caught up in the conversation.

Mrs. Cao was amused by her daughter's serious look, "Mother is not a child anymore, you still need to ask?"

The aunt still had a look of bitterness and hatred, "Anyway, you don't open the door if you are someone else's mother, and don't open the door when the third aunt comes, just pretend that there is no one at home."

Only then did Cao understand what her daughter was worried about, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so she reluctantly complied.

The aunt murmured and went to Xia's house next door. Two girls of the same age got together and couldn't finish talking immediately, so the aunt put her worries behind her.

Xia Niangzi saw so many rouge creams, she really liked it, and sighed, "Wow, Mrs. Bai, you have so many rouge creams! Your Saburo is really willing to give it to you?"

It's no secret among the neighbors that Bai Xin's house sells rouge and gouache, and besides, it's so close, it's impossible to hide it.

When Aunt Bai heard the words, her face was full of pride, and she wished to tell everyone about the goodness of her family Saburo, "That's natural, our Saburo is not a stingy person, and we have to leave a copy for my sister-in-law and me for every new thing we make." .”

Lady Xia listened with envy on her face, and then moved her body expectantly, "Madam Bai, do you really want me to try your rouge cream? I heard that your rouge cream is not cheap, it costs more than 100 cash! "

After hearing this, Aunt Bai quickly distinguished for herself, and said: "My Sanlang made this rouge cream, but he added a lot of spices and boiled the oil. Isn't it expensive? You smell the smell, is it fragrant?"

Lady Xia came over and smelled it, then nodded abruptly, "It smells really good!"

Aunt Bai raised her chin and became more confident, "Of course I can give you a try!"

Xia Niangzi jumped for joy, hurriedly fetched a basin of water and came back, washed her face meticulously, although she rubbed it carefully, there were still some faint marks on her face, Aunt Bai watched from the side, and took the opportunity to say: "I still have Zao Dumplings at home. , Wash your face, it smells good, and it's clean."

"Well, I know, but it's not cheap. My family has a large population, and it will run out in a few days." Lady Xia was still splashing the water, her voice sounding a bit muffled.

After Miss Xia finished washing, she wiped her face with a cloth, and then took out her makeup box. The aunt saw that the makeup box was carved with magpies and zigzag flowers, and there were several small boxes inside, which made her envious.

Lady Xia first took out a small porcelain dish, scooped some powder out of the powder box with a small spoon, and then took another same porcelain dish, here was poured water, and she sprinkled some powder into it. some white crystalline powder.

Aunt Bai saw that the thing looked familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xia, what did you add to the water?"

Xia Niangzi has already started to stir the water with a small brush, "It's sugar!"

Aunt Bai stared at it, seeing that the other party had finished stirring the water, then poured the powder into it, stirred it again, and when it was evenly mixed, she rubbed the sticky powder on her face.

Auntie Bai hadn't used powder before, so she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she saw it, "Will it be awkward to wipe your face with sugar water? Hee hee, be careful to attract bugs when you go out!"

"If you don't use sugar water, where can you stick it on your face?" Mrs. Xia kept moving her hands, "I made it with sugar water, and I also made it with honey, apricot paste, and ghee. As for the bugs you mentioned, I haven't recruited one yet!"

Aunt Bai thought she would just let her try the rouge ointment and it would be over, but who knew that it would take so long, she was thinking about the work at home, and she was afraid that when the third aunt came when she was away, she would be a little restless, "Still Are you okay? It's so troublesome!"

Xia Niangzi took it for granted, "How can dressing up be easy? If you ask your family Saburo to make cream powder, it will be easy! If there is powder cream, then I will definitely buy it!"

Aunt Bai's heart moved, and she really took this sentence to heart.

After a while, Mrs. Xia finally finished applying her powder, and saw that her whole face was snow-white. This meeting did not show any beauty, but it was a little scary.

"Did you paint it too white?"

"Would it be?" Miss Xia looked in the mirror and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, "White is good, white skin is better than snow, hehe!"

Aunt Bai swallowed her suspicious words back, thinking that she just didn't like dressing up, seeing her wipe her face, she hurriedly took out the rouge cream, opened the lid and handed it over, "Dip some with your fingers, put it on your lips, and put it on the palm of your hand." Here, pat it on both cheeks, and it will be fine."

Miss Xia did as she said, because she used someone else's things, she didn't give up at all, and she was so happy, she wiped it hard, and after applying it again, she still felt that it was not red enough, so she applied it again to her lips, and then wiped off the redness. The rouge cream on the whole hand was slapped vigorously on the face. At this moment, the facial features became more three-dimensional, but they were a little too red.

Miss Xia looked in the mirror left and right, but she thought it was beautiful. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she praised: "Your rouge cream is really easy to use, and you are obedient, as if you have the color itself, but the color is too light."

Under the influence of Bai Xin, Aunt Bai is not used to this kind of heavy red makeup, but she didn't point it out, anyway, as long as the other party likes it, "My Sanlang has adjusted many colors, and there are others here. Take a look."

Aunt Bai opened the bottles, Lady Xia looked at them all, she liked every color, she also knew that Aunt Bai wanted to sell it, her family was quite rich, at least she could pay for the powder, and she really liked this rouge cream, After picking and choosing, I chose a deep and bright garnet red.

"Ma'am Bai, I'm going to get married on July [-]th!" After Madam Xia finished speaking, she could see the shyness of the youngest daughter in her eyes, and she couldn't restrain her anticipation for the future.

Marriage was originally a sickness in Aunt Bai's heart, and her face froze, and her tone became unnatural, "Congratulations."

Xia Niangzi didn't notice it, and started talking endlessly.

Aunt Bai listened to a few words, then found an excuse and left.
