Because she was going to the Chen family, Jingwan changed her clothes before paying her respects.
Compared to when she was at home, she looked more solemn. Whether it was the hair accessories, jewelry, or even the necklaces of her dress, they were all carefully selected. They were not the best, but they were the most suitable for her overall appearance. She had the beauty that belonged to her age, but she did not lose her dignity. It all showed her bearing and self-restraint. In addition, she had a good foundation to begin with, and her skin was fair and lustrous. Her originally not bad complexion was enhanced by three points.
Old Madame Luo held Jingwan's hand and looked at her carefully. "Good, good, good. Our family's Wan Wan is indeed very beautiful." Last night, Luo Shangshu had told his old wife about his thoughts, and Old Madame Luo did not disagree. Wan Wan had been obedient and delicate since she was young. Anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her to the bone. Naturally, they hoped that her life would be smooth, happy, and healthy.
"The first time I saw you, I knew that you were pretty. But after taking care of you for two days, your skin is as tender as a peeled boiled egg." Eldest Aunt, Madam Wang, praised her from the bottom of her heart.
It was not the first time she had heard this kind of praise. Luo Jingwan was better than her in every aspect, but these people were all blind. Looking at her dazzling clothes, she could only endure it. "Isn't that so? Fourth Aunt's skin is also fair and delicate. Those who don't know would think that Fourth Aunt is not even twenty years old. Even Grandmother looks ten to twenty years younger than the other madams of the same age. Could it be that our Qi 'an Prefecture is really so nurturing?" Luo Jingying interrupted with a' smile '.
Of course, everyone loved to hear such praises. However, other than Madam Zhang and the little ones, who didn't understand the probing in her words, everyone present understood what she meant. If it was really the environment of Qi 'an Prefecture that nurtured people, it was not that the others had not stayed in Qi' an Prefecture before, but they were similar to people from other places. Clearly, there was a problem here. Everyone loved beauty, especially this woman. As long as she could become more beautiful, she was willing to spend any amount of time and effort on her body.
Jingwan's fourth aunt, Madam Wu, touched her smooth and tender face. Among the four sisters-in-law, her skin was really the best. She couldn't help but feel a little proud. She glanced at Jingwan and saw that she didn't have any reaction, so she said, "This is all thanks to Third Lass. In the past year, the rouge, face powder, and some creams that we used were all personally made by Third Lass. They are even better than the products sold in the world-famous Rouge Pavilion. The madams and maidens of Qi 'an Manor have tried every possible means to buy them from Third Lass. Outside, there are even people who are willing to pay more than a hundred taels of silver for a small box the size of a thumb."
Wow, good fellow. Those who didn't know could not help but gasp. They looked at Jingwan with eager eyes. It was not only the desire for beauty, but also, if she opened such a cosmetics shop, wouldn't money fly in by itself as if it had grown wings?
However, "Such good things, why didn't Third Older Sister send some to Second Aunt?" She only knew how to curry favor with her grandmother and didn't even care about her own mother. This was a good opportunity to let everyone see what kind of thing she was Luo Jingwan.
The scene fell silent again. Madam Zhang hurriedly said, "Wan Wan mentioned it in her letter and also sent it once. After that, I told her not to send it anymore. Those things can't be kept for long. It's too troublesome to send it once a month. In any case, she will be coming to the capital in one or two years. There's no rush.
Madam Zhang was not a talkative person, but the words that she occasionally said were pleasant to hear.
"Our Third Lass is not the kind of black-hearted villain who is good at scheming." Madam Wu smiled faintly.
Was she implying that her Luo Jingying was "good at scheming", "black-hearted", and "villain"?
Madam Liu knew what her daughter's expression was. "Third Lass, this is such a good thing. Third Aunt is thick-skinned and wants to ask for some? This woman's skin has become rough when she gets older. "
"Third Aunt is joking. You still have the face of a flower and the face of the moon. I was just messing around for fun. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. However, I've almost used up all the concoctions I made in Qi 'an Prefecture. When I have free time in two days, I'll make some more. Everyone will have a share. "Jingwan smiled and promised.
Jingwan was so generous that naturally "everyone" was happy.
"Third Lass, have you never thought of opening a cosmetics shop?" Third Aunt Liu asked with a smile. No matter how one looked at it, she was purely curious.
"I don't lack that money. It's too troublesome to open a shop." Jingwan fiddled with the double-sided embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said casually.
You don't lack money, I do. You think it's troublesome, I don't think it's troublesome. Just give up the recipe. More than one person was roaring in their heart. They still had a smile on their face, but they couldn't hide the greed in the depths of their eyes.
The entire Luo Household had two to three hundred years of accumulation. Naturally, they didn't lack money. The first branch was in charge of the household and was in charge of power. They didn't lack money. The second branch had Luo Rongyan who occasionally dealt with gold and stone outside. It was easy for them to earn money. Every three to five days, they would spend a lot of money without batting an eyelid. They also had various subsidies from the Old Madame in the early years, so they lived more comfortably than the first branch. As for the fourth branch, as the youngest son of the Old Madame, they basically stayed by the Old Madame's side. They didn't need to pay for their own food and clothing, so they certainly didn't lack extra subsidies. The third branch didn't have the ability to make money. Mrs. Liu was born in a dilapidated Bo Fu. Her dowry was very shabby. In addition to the monthly allowance, Third Master Luo Rongping's salary could occasionally be used to get some filial piety in the name of Luo Shangshu. However, Luo Rongping's status in the Luo Household was not prominent, so the filial piety was very limited. Therefore, the third branch was short of money, very short of money. If they wanted to buy something extra, they had to be stingy.
As a result, Luo Jingying was naturally even more unbalanced. Almost every time she came back from the Flower Banquet and poetry recital, she would make a scene before going out. However, she never thought of not going out.
"Although we don't lack money, who would dislike having more money? If we really open a shop, there will be servants to do it. How troublesome will it be?" Luo Jingying didn't give up and said. As long as she took out the recipe, she could always find a way to get it. She didn't notice Mrs. Liu's expression at all.
"Fourth Miss, there are some things you don't know. When Third Miss makes cosmetics, all kinds of flowers account for a large proportion. Any pot of flowers raised by her can be sold for hundreds of taels. Not to mention those expensive flowers. How much cosmetics can those flowers make? Comparing the two, the gains don't make up for the losses. Besides, we don't even have enough people to use, so how can we sell them? The flowers raised by gardeners and farmers don't have such good effects. "Mrs. Wu really couldn't bear to see some people being so thick-skinned.
"The effect is not good, but it's certainly better than the outside … …"
"Fourth Sister, it's not good for a noble and lovely person like you to always talk about money. What if you are tainted by the smell of money?" Jingwan's concubine-born younger sister, Luo Jingyou, suddenly opened her mouth.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Jingying's face turned livid. The older sisters next to her covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. They looked at Luo Jingyou in a new light. In their impression, she was a saw-mouthed gourd, a blockhead, and an invisible person. She was far inferior to her younger sister who was several years younger than her. They didn't expect her to be so sharp when she opened her mouth. Luo Jingying was the most knowledgeable among them, especially in poetry. She was often praised by the teachers. She was very proud of this. Because her eldest sister was married, her third sister was not around, and her second sister was just a concubine-born daughter who worked for her mother. Therefore, in the family school, she was very high and looked down on others.
Luo Jingying's lungs were about to explode, but in front of the Old Madame, she didn't dare to lose her temper. She stared at Luo Jingyou as if she was dipped in poison. Then she looked at Jingwan with hatred. Just because this b * tch also came to the capital and had someone to support her, a mere concubine-born daughter dared to talk to her like this. Just wait and see, every one of them will be counted. No one will have an easy time.
