Red makeup against the world

Chapter 372

Several people stood in the hall, quietly waiting for her instructions.

People who are used to it don't need to show their authority to them anymore, Xu Wanzhen said in a gentle tone: "Everyone is used to it, just stick to your duty. If there are rules, follow the old rules, and if there are no rules, report to me."

Everyone responded in unison, and stepped forward one by one.

Xu Wanzhen took care of one by one, and gave the corresponding cards to withdraw the silver taels respectively.

At the end, Xu Wanzhen said to Feng Xing's family: "These days, little uncle spends more time at home, he has important things to do. You have to be extra careful about the food."

Feng Xingjia took a step forward, responded with a smile, and said: "Miss, just rest assured."

Xu Wanzhen looked at Xu Le'an again and said: "You take care of the outer courtyard, and make those servants work harder so that they can take care of you. Once the things with my little uncle are done, I will reward you here."

Xu Le'an saluted respectfully, and said: "Miss, please don't worry, the villain will take good care of Mr. Su, first thank you for the reward for the boys."

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "I have nothing to worry about when you do things. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, so the things that need to be prepared should be prepared in advance, and the purchase should be done carefully."

Wan stepped forward to salute and said: "Your servant is already preparing, and I have been familiar with several rice wine shops to send samples to our house for a while. Although there are not many purchases, everything must be exquisite. "

She is used to shopping in Suzhou, and she has been in the capital for several months, so the arrangements are naturally appropriate.

After everyone retreated, Xu Wanzhen took her back to her room in the back room.

Madam Zheng came in with red dates and tuckahoe porridge, and said with a smile: "Third Master Su said that the young lady's body is getting better, and the old man saw it too. From now on, those medicinal diets can be stopped and replaced with beauty porridge."

This night the porridge was boiled crystal clear, with a layer of porridge oil floating on the surface.The aroma of poria cocos and rice fragrance, a few red dates are dotted in it, which makes the index finger move.

Xu Wanzhen asked with a smile, "What kind of regulation is this?"

Mother Zheng said: "Miss is growing her body, nutrition must keep up, but a woman's figure must also be maintained. In this diet, pay special attention."

Caisi was very interested in hearing this, she had never heard of this when she was serving Tu Manzhen at the Tu family.Even if she is a young lady, she always eats with the big kitchen. At worst, she cooks some small stoves and occasionally serves some bird's nest or something.

Mrs. Lin has always been stingy with money, and she thinks that Mrs. Li has not given birth to a legitimate son, so she is not generous to her two granddaughters.

Mrs. Li originally wanted to use her private money to subsidize and hire a nurturing nurse for her two daughters.But Mrs. Lin said that Mr. Ning was already enshrined in the family, so there was no need for nurturing mothers, so Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up.

But Mr. Ning is only teaching homework and studies, which is completely different from the responsibility of raising nuns.Therefore, I can't blame the two young ladies of the Tu family for their talents and learning, but each has its own problems with temperament.

When she arrived at Xu's house, Caisi realized how important it is to raise a nun.

Although Madam Zheng seldom appears on weekdays, Xu Wanzhen doesn't even touch her in daily life.But she is experienced, and she often gives pointers on rules and etiquette, dealing with people, sitting and walking.It was only then that Caisi understood why Xu Wan could really have an elegant demeanor comparable to that of a noble lady in the capital.

Besides, in the process of taking care of the woman's body, Mother Zheng did it herself.

From medicinal diets, food supplements, to today's beauty porridge, they are all systematically regulating the body, not just occasionally.The ointment, bath powder and medicinal materials used for Xu Wanzhen's bath were all ground and prepared by her, and she never gave them to others.

"Mommy, why porridge?" Caisi couldn't help asking.

Madam Zheng has always loved Caisi, who is loyal and protects the lord.Listening to her question, she patiently explained: "Porridge is the most nourishing for the stomach. Use a small bowl of it some time before meals, which can nourish the skin and warm the stomach, and can also make you half full, so you don't eat too much at mealtimes." .”

Caisi nodded half-understanding, but Xu Wanzhen understood.

Madam Zheng's method is somewhat similar to the popular method of "eating less and eating more to lose weight" in modern times.

It's just that women in ancient times had a really tiring life. I was not yet 14 years old, so I started to take care of my body from head to toe, from the inside to the outside.You must also pay attention to the graceful figure, and there must be no signs of obesity.

After thinking about it for a while, since I came to the Gaomang Dynasty, among the ladies I have seen, there is not a single fat person.Even if the appearance is ordinary, each body has its own merits.

Thinking about coming to these homes, each has its own way to keep the daughter in good shape.

After finishing the porridge, Caisi helped her rinse her mouth, Qingluo came to report with a smile: "Miss, Rulu came from Gong'an Square, and asked to see Miss."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, it must be because of the crystallization of the pistil sent yesterday, and she came here to express her gratitude.

Rulu entered the door, first saluted politely, then presented a red lacquer box with begonias in both hands, and said: "Rulu has met the eldest lady. This armlet is the bride's acquaintance in the 'Linglongfang' when she is buying a dowry." The one in the middle. So I made a pair, thinking about having one with the young lady."

Caisi took the box, opened it and showed it to Xu Wanzhen.On the dark blue velvet cloth lay a radiant gold-studded ruby-inlaid coral armband. The workmanship was flawless. Gold, gemstones, and coral were inlaid together without any artificial traces.

It is worthy of being produced by "Linglongfang". When these three materials are put together, I feel that the jewels are luxurious and compelling, but I don't feel tacky at all.

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said, "Thank you Miss for me, I like it very much."

Although this armlet is expensive, the two sisters don't need to care about these money exchanges.

Rulu said with a smile: "I've been wearing this pair of armbands for some time, and I just got them today. The young lady said that although these items are expensive, they are common things after all, and they cannot compare to the preciousness that the eldest lady sent yesterday. The friendship of the eldest lady , Miss wrote it down, if there is a chance in the future, it will definitely be rewarded."

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, it seems that Sister Fangyan has indeed grown a lot, she said this very skillfully, and she did not reveal the wonder of the stamen crystallization to the maid beside her.

She smiled softly and said: "Sister Fangyan is serious. Tell her for me, so that she can get ready for marriage and don't think about it. I'm still hoping that she will give birth to a big fat boy soon."

After chatting for a few more words and asking about Tu Fangyan's preparations for marriage these days, Rulu stepped down.

Cai Si joked with a smile: "Miss, seeing that cousin Tu's cousin is getting married, you are not in a hurry at all!"

With Wu Zhengxiang's style and affection, Xu Wan's heart is as stable as Mount Tai, so naturally she is not in a hurry.

Things always have to be done step by step, and the summer feast will be next month.If everything goes well, after the banquet is over, you can take a big step forward.

Xu Wanzhen looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said, "I'll see, but you are more anxious. Isn't this spring just over?"
