Yubai Juxin said, it doesn’t have to be like this.
And he had a hunch that they would see this mermaid again one day.
That night, before going to bed, Juanjuan was still mumbling that she must get up early tomorrow to see her sister off.
However--
In the early morning, when Juan Juan woke up, she heard the sound of water in the yard. It was not yet dawn. She thought about closing her eyes for a while and getting up again, but when she opened her eyes again, Ying had already left.
It was Mrs. Lin who found a carriage for her to take her to Nanluo Kingdom. She must have left the city gate by now.
Juanjuan: It hurts, it hurts too much!
She obviously closed her eyes to relieve the soreness in her eyes when she woke up early, but when she opened them, it was already dawn!
Damn it, someone must have stolen her time! That's right! That must be it!
"Pfft, cough..."
Yu Quezhi was caught off guard and spit out a mouthful of tea.
Girl...well done!
This idea that "I can't make mistakes, everything can go wrong" means that I can't make mistakes. Even if I make mistakes, it will be induced by other factors. It's really great!
By keeping this thought, their family will no longer have to worry about their little sister being bullied when she grows up!
So as soon as Juanjuan came back to her senses, she saw her second brother looking at her with a surging and excited look, as if she wanted to pounce on her. She had never seen her cold-hearted second brother show such an enthusiastic expression.
With a look of horror on her face, Juanjuan thought about the reason for this expression, and finally she came to a conclusion:
[Second brother... went crazy]
[It’s over, what should Sister Shuyan do? 】
[It’s so scary, why hasn’t my mother come back yet? 】
Yu Quezhi's eyes were complicated: "..."
With such a fuss, Juanjuan's sad mood was dissipated a lot, and there was a smile on her chubby little face.
When Mrs. Lin came back, she was eating delicious snacks and seemed to have forgotten Ying's departure.
Caichun was holding a lot of trinkets bought from the market in her hands, a dazzling array of things, and they made jingling sounds as she walked in.
After seeing Juan Juan, she smiled and said in a joking tone: "Early in the morning, Madam was worried that Miss Juan Juan would be sad if Miss Ying left, so she took her slave to the market and bought a lot of gadgets to distract Miss Juan. , it seems that it is no longer needed now.”
Mrs. Lin's face was full of doting, and she finally nodded helplessly on the tip of her nose, "You~"
It doesn't matter if it's heartless, just give Juanjuan as snacks and toys when you don't need it anymore. Anyway, as long as she can be happy, that's fine.
"Mom~ It turns out that Ni went out early in the morning to buy delicious Juan Juan~"
Juanjuan happily took the pile of fancy gadgets and snacks from Caichun's hand, and happily opened the oil paper cloth.
"You can't eat it all at once, or you'll miss lunch again." Mrs. Lin warned her warmly.
Juanjuan looked at the pile of warm and fragrant snacks, and dived in to eat and drink, only saying yes, but actually hearing nothing.
Lin was helpless, she had guessed this would be the case.
She sat down and took a sip of tea. After resting for a while, she chatted with Yu Quezhi about her marriage to the Qin family.
Yu Quezhi was naturally embarrassed to say anything about this kind of thing. He blushed and listened silently throughout the whole process. Occasionally he said, "It all depends on mother's arrangements."
Until Juan Juan's sudden voice interrupted their conversation.
[Hey, what is this little box? Savory. 】
Juanjuan picked it up and shook it, and there was a clanging sound inside.
She looked around and muttered, "Is it delicious?"
"Click!" She opened the small box, and several small round boxes the size of copper coins fell out, all of which rolled to the ground.
This fragrance...doesn't it smell like food?
Mrs. Lin came over, picked up the small round boxes, and placed them one by one on the table.
When she picked it up, she also had doubts.
All she went out to buy today were food and toys. She didn't remember buying such things.
"Caichun, did you buy this?"
Caichun took a closer look, and it wasn't until she saw the larger box that was opened in Juan Juan's hand that she had an impression.
"Madam, this was given to the slave by the waiter at the shop next door when you were waiting for the sugar paintings. She said this was... some balm and lipstick. These are trial sizes and were given to us for free, so the slave gave them to us. Put it on."
These jars are polished with bamboo sections and then painted with paint, so they become colorful. There are so many unseen colors, which are quite attractive to look at.
One of the rolls was opened, and inside was a thick white paste, like refined lard, but the taste was very different from lard.
The smell was a very fresh fruity aroma. Juanjuan smelled a bit like the lychees she had eaten in the palace. Just smelling it made her want to eat lychees.
Lin opened the others. There were three small boxes of balm and three small boxes of red stuff. There was also a small brush in the box.
She dipped the small brush into a little red paste and tried the color on the paper. It was bright red.
"This, this color is great for making lipstick." Caichun said in surprise.
And there are also different colors, which can be dipped in with a small brush, which is really convenient.
Seeing this, Juan Juan already understood. She took each of the ointments and smelled them. There were osmanthus scents, lychee scents, and an indescribable scent. All in all, they smelled good.
[This is lipstick, I didn’t expect her to make it so quickly. 】
Lin's eyes were a little solemn, because she could already foresee how these things would become popular in the capital in the future.
She licked her lipstick with her hands. Although her heart was heavy, she still couldn't help but admire the sophistication of these things.
Is this what people in the future will make? I really can't imagine what kind of era that would be.
And since it can be recreated by the young Sun Leyao, it should be the easiest in her eyes.
However, when she thought that the money Sun Leyao earned from using these things might eventually be spent on dealing with their family, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but admire her.
She pursed her lips and looked at these little things in silence for a long time. Finally, she called Caichun, "Go and find out who owns the shop that sells this thing."
As the eldest maid of the Lin family, Caichun usually interacts with the maids of other ladies. Most of the shops in the capital are owned by dignitaries, so it is easy to find out if you are lucky.
She said yes and went down.
Juanjuan was originally smelling the ointment, but when he looked up, he found that his mother's face was not very good-looking, so he tugged at the hem of her clothes and raised his little head to ask.
"Mom~ What's wrong with Ni?"
[Mother, don’t you like these things? Juan Juan also wants her to buy some more to put at home. After all, with the Ninth Princess here, these things won’t be sold for long. 】
