Peasant girl farming: I did beauty in ancient times

Chapter 10 Going to the Town

Lin Yuehua got up early and gathered at the entrance of the village to ride an ox cart to the town, when she saw Lin Xiudi was there.

"Big girl, it's really strange, are you going to the market too?"

As soon as Fang yelled, everyone looked at Lin Yuehua. The original owner, Lin Da Niu, hadn't been to the street a few times.

"Auntie, can I go if you can?" Lin Yuehua sat down in the empty seat beside Lin Xiudi and ignored Fang.

The ox cart passed by the original owner's field, and Lin Yuehua saw that widower Zhang had plowed the field so early and did not use the ox to plow the field. When will he get it?

Fang followed Lin Yuehua's gaze and teased, "Hey, isn't that widower Zhang? He's really hardworking. Girl, if that widower doesn't resign with you, he will be working for your family now."

Lin Yuehua frowned, and said displeasedly: "Mr. Fang, you can eat more and don't talk nonsense. It's our retired relative. No one in the village knows. Since you are so optimistic, you might as well say to your natal sister."

"Pfft..." Lin Xiudi couldn't help laughing.

Fang became angry with embarrassment: "You little girl with a bad mouth! Do you think you can get married? No one in the village looks like a ghost when he sees you."

"Then don't bother you." Lin Yuehua was speechless.

"My old lady is about to say that you are dreaming of recruiting a son-in-law, and you don't take a piss to see what you look like. In my opinion, you are worthy of a widower, a lame man, or a blind man."

The more Fang talked, the more excited she was, she almost pointed at Lin Yuehua's nose and scolded, and Lin Xiudi couldn't stand it.

"Aunt Zhang, you are all from the same village, and your words are too harsh. You don't care if the big girl gets married or not. If the aunt wants to take care of it, why don't I talk to my grandfather about the big girl's marriage? Have you been a matchmaker?"

"You!" Fang was choked and speechless, seeing that Lin Xiudi was the granddaughter of the village chief, she didn't even complain and curse.

"You are neither my father nor my mother, neither of you can control my marriage!"

Lin Yuehua was also angry, Fang's mind was smaller than a needle, didn't it mean that Duhu was fighting with her Shitou to grab buns, as for targeting her when he saw her!

"That's right, that's right, everyone, please don't say a few words." The people in the same company came out to smooth things over, and the quarrel was over, and no one talked to anyone on the way.

It arrived half an hour later, because Linshui Town is the only way to go to Fucheng, it is more lively than ordinary county towns, and there are all kinds of shops, inns, and restaurants in the town.

After Lin Yuehua got off the ox cart, she parted from everyone. The original owner always had low self-esteem in front of Lin Xiudi, and even though they were of the same age, they didn't play together.

"Sell candied haws!"

"Delicious sugar man, no sweet no money!"

"Huh" breathed a sigh of relief, this long-lost excitement made Lin Yuehua feel much happier.

Lin Yuehua received a lot of scrutiny and ridicule, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it, she had to go shopping quickly, otherwise the ox cart would leave later, and she would have to walk back to the village.

"Uncle, I'm buying two sugar figurines. May I ask how to get to your makeup shop?"

Lin Yuehua didn't know the way, so she bought two candy figurines for three Wen, and asked the way to go to see the cosmetics used in this era.

Passing by the grain and oil shop, Lin Yuehua went in to have a look, but Lin Yuehua found that there were very few seasonings, and the star anise, cinnamon, and pepper she wanted to buy was not there.

I searched around the store and asked the clerk, "Where did you keep your star anise?"

The guy had a bad attitude when he saw Lin Yuehua's appearance: "What's the trouble? Don't disturb our business if you don't buy something. You've been sneaky since I saw you just now."

"Me? Sneaky? I'm looking for a tune."

Before Lin Yuehua could finish speaking, the man kicked him out.

"Bah." Lin Yuehua was lucky, she wasn't angry!She went directly to the powder shop.

Seeing that Lin Yuehua was dressed in shabby clothes, she was not driven away but no one received her. She glanced at the products on display and was disappointed in her heart because there were too few types.

There was a big bronze mirror in the shop, Lin Yuehua walked over and carefully looked at the current appearance.

The cheeks are sunken, the eyebrows are like two caterpillars, the eyes are big, but they don’t match the thin cheeks, and they have the look of a frog, the nose is quite satisfactory, the lips are a bit big, the worst thing is that the skin is sallow, and the face is covered with pus. smallpox.

Could it be that the children in the village said she was a toad spirit?

"I said, sister, what do you need?" A middle-aged woman with makeup came over with a cold tone.

Lin Yuehua looked at the visitor's makeup, the eyebrows were too thick!
Too much rouge!
The color of this lip balm does not match the clothes!
Despite this, Lin Yuehua, who is a beauty blogger, looks friendly, and there are almost no women in Linjiacun who wear makeup.

She really wanted to help the woman remake up, restrained the itching of her hands, and said, "I'll take a look first, and then I'll buy after I see it."

"Is this facial cream? How much is it?" Lin Yuehua opened a box and smelled it. The fragrance was too strong, the texture was rough, and the color was dark yellow.

The woman hurriedly snatched the box away, shouting: "Oh, don't touch it. This is a new product, high-quality facial ointment, worth a tael of silver."

The woman glanced up and down at Lin Yuehua, and in her eyes she meant that you can't afford it, don't touch it.

"I'll look at other things." Lin Yuehua walked around, and this shop also sells jewelry and tiaras.

Lin Yuehua picked out a few hair ropes and flowers, and both she and Lin Erya tied their hair with cloth strips, which fell apart easily.

"Shopkeeper, is this rouge?"

Before Lin Yuehua asked the price, the woman hurried over, took a hair rope and stuffed it into Lin Yuehua's hand: "I'll give you a hair rope. You go to pay for five cents. The shop is still open for business."

"I haven't finished it yet."

Lin Yuehua came out of the shop, looking at the two extra hair ropes in her hand, she couldn't laugh or cry.

After Lin Yuehua walked away, the waiter in the shop said dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, why do you still give that ugly girl extra hair ropes, you'll just have to drive her out."

"What do you know! You didn't see the pimple on that girl's face. What if she said that she used our facial cream and extorted money? I, Feng Siniang, was smart, and sent her away with two hair ropes." The woman The man said triumphantly.

Of course, Lin Yuehua didn't know the discussion behind this. She left the gouache shop and planned to buy clothes.

Lin Erya's clothes are all picked up from Mrs. Lin's old clothes, patched and patched. When spring comes, she doesn't even have any clothes. Lin Yuehua bought two ready-made clothes for Lin Erya, she bought one herself, and Lin Dahu added a pair of shoes.

In the village, people usually buy cloth and make it themselves, and the leftovers can be used for shoe soles, making handkerchiefs and so on.

"Shopkeeper, can it be cheaper? How about two hundred coins for a change? You see, I have bought so much." Lin Yuehua touched her shriveled purse, and couldn't help talking about the price. She can't even buy things in modern times. bargain.

"That's not good, that's not good, it's too much wiped, you add another ten cents." The shopkeeper quickly packed Lin Yuehua.

"Then you give me a few handkerchiefs." Lin Yuehua held on to her hands and did not let go, and paid 210 Wen after the shopkeeper agreed.

After buying clothes, a pot of oil, a bag of brown sugar, and other small odds and ends, Lin Yuehua didn't give up until she couldn't lift them anymore. There were too many things missing in the house, and she didn't even spend a tael of money.

"Big girl, is that you?"

A warm and familiar voice sounded behind him, and Lin Yuehua turned her head.
