Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 70 A Strange Meeting Ceremony
After a while, Lu Xingwan asked someone to come in and remove the uneaten food from the table, and then told Wen Shu that she would take a lunch break so that she could take care of herself.

Only then did Wen Shu remember that there was still a gift for the meeting, so she hurriedly called Mother Chen who had just finished eating and came in with the curtain lifted.

After hearing what she said, Nanny Chen was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect Wen Shu to bring them something, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked Yinhong to take the key and take her to get it.

After a while, Wen Shu returned to Lu Xingwan's room with nine washing stones of different colors.

When Lu Xingwan and the others heard that she was going to get a meeting gift, they didn't pay much attention to it. They just thought it was some ordinary pastries, or she was a female worker who embroidered purses and handkerchiefs by herself.

Unexpectedly, the last thing in front of me turned out to be a few stones!
Everyone was stunned, and then thought in their hearts, this little lady Wen is too picky, since it is a gift, she is not even willing to give away a purse handkerchief, just pick up two stones on the side of the road and give them away, that's okay. ． ． ． ． ．

Although these stones look better than ordinary stones, they are still stones. For a moment, everyone's expressions were inexplicable, and they all looked at Wen Shu with strange eyes.

If you want to say that your family is in a difficult situation and you don't have any money to prepare things, they will understand. After all, girls with their status and status, no one lacks a bag of pastries or a handkerchief, but since you said you have prepared a gift, then Just be a little more careful, and take two stones to calculate what's going on.

This is a good thing that they want to win people's hearts and don't want to spend money. Where in the world did this kind of good thing come from? Everyone's face became stiff at the moment.

Wen Shu saw everyone's expressions, but he didn't take it seriously, and continued to explain the function of these stones in a calm tone.When he heard that these stones were called "washing stones" and could be used to wash his face and take a bath, Lu Xingwan was obviously taken aback, while the others looked skeptical.

"Is it true? Little lady, don't make fun of us."

"That's right, although our faces are not as delicate as girls', but we can't stand the stones, so don't lie to us, little lady."

Wen Shu said with a smile: "How dare you joke about this kind of thing, I've been using this stone for almost a month, and my sisters can see that there is something wrong with my face."

That. ．Of course not.

Wen Shu's skin is fair and delicate, and there is some baby fat on her cheeks. She looks cute and agile. The most rare thing is that she has a natural and rosy complexion without makeup, which is really enviable.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it." Lu Xingwan said, "Yin Xin, go fetch a basin of water."

"Yes."

Yin Xin put down the stone, and after a while, came in with a basin of warm water.

Lu Xingwan rolled up his sleeves and was about to wash, Yin Xin and others rushed forward and said, "Girl, let's do it."

Even if you break your skin, you should try theirs first, otherwise you will have a hard time later.

"It's okay." Lu Xingwan waved them away, and then according to Wen Shu's instructions, first soak the red stone in the water, wet his hands, then pick up the stone, and rub it gently on the back of his hand and palm.

After a while, Yin Xin and others exclaimed: "It can really wash!"

Dense foam rose from his fair skin, with a hint of red. Lu Xingwan's eyes were slightly bright, and he pursed his lips and said, "Although there is no fragrance, the foam is much more delicate than the soap balls from Zhang's shop. Overall, It’s not bad, but I don’t know where to get these stone girls? I don’t think I’ve seen them in the market.”

Here comes the point.

Wen Shu thought about it, and said with a smile: "I picked it up by a river by chance. At first, I only thought the color was good-looking. I wanted to pick it up and decorate the vegetable garden. Who knew that I accidentally discovered that it can wash my face. Later, I gave a piece of dark green color. I don’t think about it, she used it for a month, and she usually likes her acne-prone face, but recently it hasn’t grown very much, and even the pores have become much finer and smoother.”

Upon hearing this, the green willow next to her was surprised and said, "Really."

"Of course it is true. I have used the handkerchief myself, so I dare to say it."

Wen Shu's words were originally intended for her, because according to her observation, the skin of this green willow girl and Wang Ling is very similar, both have foreheads, acne-prone cheeks, and large pores around the nose. Yes, even a faint gleam of oil can be seen.

As soon as Lu Liu heard this, she immediately picked up the dark green stone given to her on the table, put it in her palm and looked at it carefully.

Before Wen Shu gave the stone, he had already thought about what color and how many pieces to give to whom.

As the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, Lu Xingwan is the master of these many people, so he must be special. He got three yuan in total, the colors are red, light yellow and purple.

Nanny Chen is Lu Xingwan's nanny. She is in charge of Wenjingyuan, and is in charge of Lu Xingwan's basic necessities of life. She has the highest seniority and the greatest power, so she got two yuan, one crystal blue and one crimson purple.

The other two big maids, Luliu and Yinhong, each took a piece.

Green willow, she gave her a piece of dark green according to her skin type.The silver-red skin is okay, but it is not fair enough, and it is a little yellowish, so she gave a light yellow one.

The reason why she gave this color was not because she knew the effect of the light yellow stone, it was purely because a blind cat killed a mouse.

The remaining two little maids, Yin Xin and Lu Xin, are still young, both no more than fourteen, and their skins are fairly good with no blemishes.The silver heart skin is a little thin, with faint blood streaks on the face, and her cheeks are flushed in winter. After thinking about it, she gave a piece of blue.

Although she has never used the blue one, and does not know its efficacy, but for some reason, she feels that it is appropriate to give blue ones, which is a strange feeling.

For the rest of the green heart, she randomly gave away a black one. In fact, apart from the flat facial features, this girl really has nothing to say about her skin.

Although the big girl and the little girl are both in one piece, in order to take into account the face of Yinhong and Lvliu, the stones she gave to Yinhong and Lvxin were smaller than those of both of them. The maidservants and the like are inferior, but they don't want to offend others.

At this time, Lu Xingwan said again: "Did the little lady pick up the name Xishi herself?"

Wen Shu didn't understand what she meant by asking, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I saw that it can wash face and hands, so I simply called it Xishi."

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Lu Xingwan looked at her: "I read a book in my brother's study last year. What does the name seem to be? Shan Hai Jing, there are a few mountains in it, and it mentions a kind that can wash your face. The stone for bathing is also called washing stone, what a coincidence.”

Wen Shu's heart trembled, but he smiled as usual: "Really, there is such a book, what else is written in that book?"

Lu Xingwan didn't see any flaws, so he casually mentioned some strange beasts recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, which caused the girls to exclaim, and Wen Shu also exclaimed.

After talking again, Lu Xingwan was a little tired, and Nanny Chen guarded her, while Yinhong, Wen Shu and the others retreated.
