"Oh," Han Du nodded, suddenly raised his eyes to look at this person, and said seriously: "Also, don't let anyone know about this matter. Without my permission, if you dare to reveal even the slightest bit, I will definitely do it without my permission. Say, you should know the consequences."
"I know, I swear, if this leaks out, I will die without a burial place and will never be reborn, and my descendants will be slaves and maids for generations to come."
Han Du nodded with satisfaction. The fact that people of this era could make such a poisonous oath showed that she really had never thought of leaking the secret of this makeup. And she will keep this secret even if she dies. Of course, Han Du is not afraid of her leaking it. As long as she dares, Han Du will naturally have a hundred ways to deal with her.
Of course, Han Du is not the kind of person who wants his horse to run well but also not eat grass.
"Starting from today, your monthly salary will be five guan. Remember to find Aunt Li to give it to you. I will give her instructions."
"Month, monthly salary?" This person was shocked. Logically speaking, she is a member of Jiaofangsi, and her household registration is still in the hands of Jiaofangsi. If you want to deregister, you can either wait for the Jiaofang Secretary to show mercy, or you can use the money to redeem yourself. But people like her would not have received a penny in wages when working in the Jiaofang Department before, let alone a salary. Without a source of income, she naturally has no way to deregister.
But now the adults actually give her a salary, which is still five taels a month. Doesn't this mean that she is also expected to deregister?
She suddenly burst into tears and bowed to Han Du solemnly, "Thank you for your great kindness, sir."
"No need to thank me, you deserve this." Han Du waved his hand nonchalantly and asked her to stand up.
Inside the wooden box on the table, there are dozens of small compartments filled with a dazzling array of cosmetics for various purposes.
Han Du closed the lid, held it in his hand and went out. At the end of the day, I didn’t forget to say, “Remember, hurry up and make more.”
"Yes, sir. I will certainly live up to my high expectations." Even though she knew that Master Han was far away and would not hear her words, she still finished her words solemnly, word for word. It seems that these words are not meant to be said to Master Han, but that she wants to keep them in her heart.
Han Du took away a box of makeup, so naturally it was not for himself. Han Du felt that although he was oily in his previous life, he was still young in this life and was far from the time when he needed to be oily.
Han Du was going to give this box of makeup to Miss Jingyun. I haven't given her anything for so long. First of all, it's because Han Du really doesn't know what the ladies of this era like Jing Yun really like. Secondly, it is also because Han Du has been too busy. After he came out of the prison, Han Du never stopped. How could he think of giving gifts to girls when he had time?
Now I'm killing two birds with one stone. I'm giving the girl rouge and gouache. She should like it, right? And it’s such a unique rouge gouache. And this thing doesn't take much time for Han Du, just bring it over.
Originally, Han Du was thinking about sending a set to Lan Yu's wife, but thinking that Lan Yu was still fighting in Yunnan, it would be inappropriate for a man to take this opportunity to come to the house, so he gave up.
After returning home, Han Du took out the box and handed it to Sister Jingyun while he had a chance to eat.
"Brother Wei is giving you something. Brother Wei hasn't given you anything for so long, so just accept it."
Han Du's words made the whole family look directly at him, wondering what Han Du wanted to do.
Sister Jingyun may have never encountered anything like Han Du giving away things at the dinner table. For a moment, I was stunned in place and didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Han Du, then at Han Jingyun, and said to her: "Since your eldest brother gave it to you, just accept it."
"Oh! Thank you big brother." Han Jingyun happily took the box. She was very happy that big brother could give her something, no matter what it was.
"Brother, brother, where's mine?" Han Shu saw it and asked quickly.
Han Du suddenly discovered that he had a younger brother, but he didn't prepare any gifts for him. He suddenly said awkwardly: "You can't use this thing, you can wait until next time."
"Ouch..." Han Shu's tone was obviously filled with disappointment.
When Mrs. Liu saw it, she didn't say much. Instead, she asked curiously: "What on earth is this?"
"Nothing, just some rouge and gouache?" Han Du replied lightly.
"Rouge gouache?" Mrs. Liu heard this and looked at the box in Han Jingyun's hand, very confused. She was no stranger to rouge gouache, but she had never seen rouge gouache in a box. Moreover, the carvings on this box are very exquisite, and you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.
Aren’t rouge gouache always packed in porcelain bottles?
Moreover, ordinary rouge gouache, although to ordinary people, is still a relatively precious thing. But for the Han family, it is still affordable. The Han family holds 10% of the coal mine stocks. With the continuous development of the briquette industry, especially after Queen Ma intervened, the supply of briquettes has experienced explosive growth. Therefore, although the Han family cannot be called rich now, they can at least be regarded as small rich. Life as a child was much better than when Han De was a second-grade official.
"Open it and take a look?" Mrs. Liu said, looking at Han Jingyun.
In this era, what is important is that the king should be the guide for the ministers, and the father should be the guide for the son. Not only do children have no privacy at all when facing their parents, but even the money they earn belongs to their parents, not the children themselves.
Therefore, Mrs. Liu asked Han Jingyun to open it and take a look. There was nothing rude about it, but it was a matter of course.
Han Jingyun was also very curious as to what kind of rouge and gouache the eldest brother would give her.
As the box was opened, Han Jingyun's eyes were filled with colorful little grids, which surprised her and made her mouth turn into an O shape.
Not only Han Jingyun, but also Liu was surprised. Is this rouge gouache? Why hadn't she seen such rouge and gouache before? He raised his head and stared at Han Du, waiting for his explanation.
Han Du was glared at by his mother before he realized that something was wrong. I only prepared gifts for my sister, but not for my mother. And Han Du didn't expect that his mother would be so curious and wanted to open the box on the spot. According to Han Du's opinion, the girl should have brought the box back to the room and opened it while hiding alone.
But God is not as good as man, and it is too late to say anything now.
