Chapter 231 Chapter 231: Teaching Women to Make Makeup Powder (3000 words)
The woman who asked Shen Qingcheng eagerly just now said happily: "Qingcheng, Auntie won't let you talk about this for nothing. Auntie will go back and do it according to the method you said. When it is done successfully, Auntie will give you a box."

Shen Qingcheng aspires to manage all kinds of delicacies, and doesn't expect to make money from making cosmetics. Telling these people how to make makeup powder is just a casual talk for a while, and she doesn't expect these people to thank her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I don't usually use makeup powder, so Auntie doesn't have to give it to me."

No matter how delicate makeup powder is, it will cause clogged pores. Although rice powder will not cause spots on the face and dark yellow complexion like using makeup powder with mercury lead powder after using for a long time, clogged pores will cause rough skin and even the inability to expel toxins from the body. If you come out with acne and you are young, it is better to use it sparingly.

After the banquet, the villagers left one after another, leaving the dozen or so people who helped with chores to clean up the table and the yard.

A dozen or so people were busy till dusk, and finally returned the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans and chopsticks, and the Yang family's yard returned to its usual cleanliness and tidiness.

There was still some braised pork left in the kitchen. In order to thank the helpers, Yang Lushi divided up the rest of the rice bowls, and each person had a bowl, and said a word of thanks to the helpers.

As soon as the helpers left, only Shen Qingcheng's family of four remained in the Yang family.

Yang Chunfen was in charge of taking care of Jun Yiluo, and the others were discussing the wedding of Shen Qingcheng and Jun Wulan in the main house of the Yang family.

Yang Wan sat on the kang and thought for a while before asking Jun Wulan, "Alan."

"What's your father-in-law's order?"

Jun Wulan raised his hand to Yang Wan, his attitude was so respectful that Yang Wan froze in fright.

After a while, Yang Wancai waved his hand and said, "Now there are no outsiders in the family, so you don't have to be so cautious. I just want to ask you, how many banquets do you plan to hold for your wedding with Qingcheng on December 26?"

Jun Wulan said: "Invite all the villagers of Dahuang Village, there are so many people, I want to marry Qing Cheng in a grand manner, besides the villagers of Dahuang Village, I also want to invite a few people to the wedding."

After Jun Wulan finished speaking, Yang Wan silently calculated: There are 52 households in Dahuang Village, based on the calculation of a family of six people with three generations of grandparents, there are about 310 people in the whole village, plus Jun Wulan's friends outside, what's going on? There must be five people in 310. According to a table of ten people, there must be at least 31 tables of banquets.

There are only ten tables set up for the birthday banquet today, half of the pork is left with only one leg of pork, vegetables such as greens, radishes, and sweet potatoes are used a lot, flour and rice are also used, and more than a catty of tea is consumed. This birthday banquet cost about three taels of silver, but the villagers who came to eat either brought a few eggs, or a catty or two of rice, and many came directly empty-handed, and the molecular gifts they received were worth one tael about.

Yang Wan felt angina pectoris, thinking that Jun Wulan would have to hold thirty tables, it would be a big loss, so he frowned with angina pectoris.

"Alan, Qingcheng, there are 52 households in our Dahuang Village. If you go door to door to invite them to a wedding, how much money will it cost?"

Yang Lushi also gave props: "The life of the two of you has just started to improve, so you can't waste money like this. If you have money, save it, and you will have to raise children in the future. I think the yard you live in now is also dilapidated. It's the beginning of spring. You will have to spend money to renovate later, and renovating a house is a costly thing."

"The money is what you need to use. I am young and strong, and I will have opportunities to make money in the future. I invited everyone in the village as I said. I want everyone in Dahuang Village to know that Shen Qingcheng is my Jun Wulan Mingmei is marrying." home wife."

Jun Wulan said while holding Shen Qingcheng's hand tightly.

"Besides, during the banquet just now, my father-in-law had announced in public that Qingcheng and I would hold a make-up wedding banquet on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. It would not be good if we didn't invite all of them."

Yang Lushi glared at Yang Wan angrily.

"Who asked you to announce it in public?"

Yang Wandao: "I was so happy at the time, I said it without paying attention."

Jun Wulan said: "Mother-in-law, I can't blame my father-in-law for this incident. I asked my father-in-law to inform everyone."

"It will cost at least eight or nine taels of silver to organize thirty tables of wedding banquets."

Yang Lushi became worried when he thought about it.

"The money is spent. After spring, what will you two use to renovate the house?"

Yang Wan and his wife still don't know that Jun Wulan received a generous reward after destroying Baiyun Village. The couple always thought that the young couple's main source of income was the bakery stand that just opened and the two jobs, the bakery. Not long after the stall opened, it must have not earned much, and the work has not been done for a month, and I am afraid that the wages have not yet been paid.

Seeing that Yang Lushi cared so much about renovating the house, Shen Qingcheng simply told her.

"Godmother, godfather, brother Jun and I don't plan to renovate that old house. After the new year, we two plan to go to Xiliang Town to look at the house. If we find a suitable one, we can buy it directly."

"That's good, if you move to the town to do business, you don't have to get up early and stay late."

Yang Lushi answered casually, and only after she finished the answer did she realize that buying a house in Xiliang County costs at least two or thirty taels of silver.

She stared at Shen Qingcheng and his wife in surprise: "Have you two saved enough money to buy a house?"

Jun Wulan said: "Well, not long ago I assisted General Pei in destroying a nest of bandits in Baiyunzhai. General Pei and Lord Zhuge gave me more than 2000 taels of silver as a reward. Let's first look at a yard in the town, and finally There are two or three acres of land around the good yard, and then go to Xiliang County to buy a shop for Qingcheng, so that she can happily manage the food business."

Hearing this, the members of the Yang family were both surprised and delighted.

"Yeah."

Yang Lushi said a few words of hello with a smile all over his face, then looked at the sky outside through the lattice window, his eyes were slightly red and said: "Qingcheng is finally over, sister Shuxian, your spirit in the sky can rest in peace .”

When Shen Weishi was alive, he and Yang Lushi were very close, the two were as close as sisters, so Shen Qingcheng played with Yang Chunhua brother and sister since childhood.

Yang Lushi sighed with emotion, turned his eyes away and told Shen Qingcheng and his wife: "Since you have received so much reward this time, you two should keep it well, and it is best to deposit it in the bank, so that the Shen family will not worry about it."

Fearing that Yang Lushi would be worried, Shen Qingcheng and his wife nodded in agreement with her words.

After deciding how many tables to set for the banquet, Yang Wan thought about it and discussed it with Yang Lushi.

"His mother, we still have a lot of vegetables, cabbage and radishes in our vegetable field. Why don't we let Qingcheng and A Lan chop up a few baskets of vegetables for the wedding banquet, and chop up the vegetables in the field, so that we can plant seeds in the spring when the land is empty."

Yang Lushi nodded without hesitation, and told Yang Chunhua: "Qingcheng and Alan are too busy to set up a stall, go to work, and prepare for the wedding. Chunhua, it's the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Go to the field and chop the vegetables and put them in baskets." Send it to a small mud courtyard outside the village."

Yang Chunhua: "."

It feels like my mother has taken in her adoptive daughter, and after having Jun Wulan as her son-in-law, his status in this family has plummeted.

"Mother, I'm your son, how could you use my son as a labor force just after you recognized your goddaughter and godson-in-law?"

Yang Lushi said: "Even if I didn't recognize Alan and Qingcheng, my mother will always use you as a labor force."

Yang Chunhua wants to cry but has no tears.

In front of Qing Cheng and surname Jun, can't my mother take care of his face?

Fearing that Yang Lushi would say something that would embarrass him even more, Yang Chunhua quickly nodded in agreement.

Shen Qingcheng and Jun Wulan looked at each other, and the two understood without objection.

This is the wish of the godfather and godmother, rejecting it will make the elders sad, so it is better to accept all the vegetables, and buy more things for the elders when the New Year comes.

After that, Yang Lushi looked down at the feet of Shen Qingcheng and Jun Wulan again.

"Chunhua, go outside and pick up two thin wooden sticks and come in."

Yang Chunhua knew that Yang Lushi was planning to make shoes for Jun Wulan and his wife, so he left the main house and went to the kitchen to find a thin wooden stick, and quickly returned to the main house to hand the wooden stick to Jun Wulan.

Jun Wulan looked at him puzzled.

Yang Chunhua said: "Mother asked you to measure the shoe size with Qing Cheng."

Shen Qingcheng immediately understood, and quickly refused: "Godmother, you don't need to tie our shoes, I can do the clothes and shoes for the newlyweds myself, so you can have a good rest at night."

Women have to do housework and farm work during the day. Most women can only use the time at night to do needlework. It hurts the eyes to tie the layered bottom under the dim tung oil lamp. When you are young, you don’t feel like working hard. It was not until later in life that I realized that I could not see clearly.

Yang Lushi replied firmly: "According to the customs of our Xiliang County, when a daughter gets married, the mother's family will make a few pairs of shoes for the daughter and son-in-law, which means that the daughter and son-in-law will walk smoothly and steadily throughout their lives, and Shuxian is gone. , the work of making shoes can only be done by me for Shuxian."

Shen Qingcheng didn't know about this custom, she turned her face to see Jun Wulan nodded, and then she didn't refuse anymore, she looked at Yang Lushi deeply moved.

"Godmother, thank you, then thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. Your godfather and Chunhua spend a lot of money on shoes. I have to make a lot of shoes throughout the year. I won't feel tired if I make more and become more proficient."

"Sister Qingcheng, brother-in-law, Luoer fell asleep, I put her on the bed in my room."

Shen Qingcheng and his wife discussed things with Yang Wan and his wife, but they didn't think it was too late. Yang Chunfen walked in and said that Jun Yiluo was asleep, and the couple realized that it was already late at night.

Afraid of disturbing the rest of Yang Wan and his wife, Jun Wulan raised her hand and said: "It's getting late, Qingcheng and I will go back first, and the sun will be deeper, please father-in-law and mother-in-law to rest earlier."

Shen Qingcheng went to Yang Chunfen's boudoir to hug Jun Yiluo who had just fallen asleep, and the little girl called out in a daze, "Mother."

As soon as she got out of the bed, Shen Qingcheng was afraid that the little girl would be cold, so she hugged the little girl tightly, and at the same time comforted the little girl with a gentle voice: "Luo'er, sleep on your mother's shoulder for a while, we will be home in a while."

Jun Wulan was waiting outside the house, and when she saw Shen Qingcheng holding Jun in her arms, she took off her coat as soon as she came out, took Jun Yiluo from Shen Qingcheng's hand, and then put her jacket on Jun Yiluo's body.

Shen Qingcheng saw that he was wearing a leopard-skin vest outside his middle coat. The leopard-skin vest on his back and chest was quite warm, but there were only two thin layers of material on his arms, and she couldn't help shivering.
