Chapter 339 Wrong Direction
Xiao Jiuyue threw the lip balm directly to Lianxin and Luokui, saying, "Come, try the colors."
"Miss, you are so amazing, aren't you? You can even make lip balm?" Luo Kui sat in front of the bronze mirror with the lip balm and applied it directly on her lips.
Lianxin helped hold the bronze mirror and her eyes fell on the newly made lip balm. The delicate lip balm, applied on the lips by Basella, seemed to brighten the complexion instantly. It was no longer like the one she bought before, which looked weird when applied on the lips!
The lip balm on her lips adds a touch of color.
"Miss, I think the lip balm you make is ten times better than the ones sold, no, a hundred times better." Lianxin praised.
Luo Kui was even more exaggerated. She looked at herself in the mirror again and again, showing off her lips from time to time, and said, "I think it's better than the lip balm from Shengjing. Most importantly, it doesn't have that waxy smell. It seems light and faint, with a hint of fragrance."
Luo Kui pouted her lips, and felt that her lips seemed to be beautiful no matter what.
"The production methods are different, and the final results are also different, Luo Kui, I know you admire your young lady, but you can't praise me blindly. The lip balm I make is colorless and odorless." Xiao Jiuyue used all natural ingredients, and she did not add any fragrance to the things she put on her lips.
It has to be said that money makes the world go round. Xiao Jiuyue bought most of the raw materials she remembered. After five or six days of practice, and wasting a lot of materials, she actually made a satisfactory lip balm!
"Hehe." Luo Kui grinned and said, "I think it just has a fragrance. It smells good anyway."
"My five hundred coins were wasted," Lian Xin said with a pained look on her face. "If I had known that the lip balm made by the young lady was so good, why would I have spent that money?"
"Five hundred yuan can buy me ten meals at a restaurant." The more Lianxin thought about it, the more painful it felt.
"Lianxin, why do I feel like we're being taken advantage of?" Luokui muttered to herself, counting on her fingers: "How much lip balm did I buy?"
She likes lip balm, so she applies it often. She bought it in Shengjing before, and it wasn’t as bad as the one in Donglin County. It didn’t seem to be anything special. After this comparison, she felt that the lip balm in Donglin County was too bad!
"Don't you buy five or six lip balms a year? You either spend your money on it or on rouge and powder." Lianxin couldn't help rolling her eyes. The monthly allowance given by Luokui was not enough for her to spend.
"No, that shopkeeper is really going too far. He even claims this is the best lip balm in Donglin County. He's a complete liar!" Lian Xin became increasingly angry as she thought about it. She stood up and said, "No, I have to go and have a talk with that shopkeeper."
"Let's go." Luokui pulled Lianxin and walked out.
Lian Xin was stunned. She was just saying it and had no intention of arguing with others over a piece of lip balm. She cleared her throat and said, "It's raining."
"Don't even mention the rain, even if it's slashing, I have to go. If it was the same quality as Shengjing, I would have tolerated it for 500 coins. But now it's so bad, no, I have to go find her." Luo Kui said angrily, "You gave this to me, I can't just watch you get cheated!"
"Miss." Lianxin looked back at Xiao Jiuyue for help.
Xiao Jiuyue drank tea calmly and had no intention of speaking. Soon, Lianxin was pulled by Luokui to go directly to find the shopkeeper.
"Miss, should we go with them?" Donggui watched the scene. If these two maids went to find the shopkeeper, would they really not be beaten back?
"No need. Jin Wen will take them there. With Jin Wen here, they won't suffer any harm." Xiao Jiuyue sipped her tea and asked, "How is the Third Prince's recovery progressing?"
"He's fine. He can get out of bed and walk around now. He'll be fine after a few more days of rest." Dong Gui answered obediently. At the beginning, Dong Gui wanted to say that the Third Prince was seriously injured and asked the eldest lady to sympathize with him.
Who knows, Jin Wu said: The Third Prince's injury has almost healed.
Donggui immediately fooled them with her words of matchmaking!
Sometimes, Donggui felt that the eldest lady seemed to be able to see through everything, as if she understood everything, even knowing that she was a subordinate of the Third Prince.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. They haven't thought about leaving yet?" Xiao Jiuyue was a little curious. Isn't the prince in a hurry to return to Beijing?
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to inspect the Jinjiang River embankment. Now that it's raining heavily, he naturally can't go back." Dong Gui told everything she knew and said, "Miss, if this rain doesn't stop, will we be unable to leave?"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the drizzling rain outside. She didn't like rain. Whenever it rained, it would remind her of the days when she was punished to get wet in the rain in the orphanage. At that time, she was the youngest and many people bullied her, so she would fight back.
Those who bullied her went to complain, and the dean punished her by making her get wet in the rain every time. Later, she realized that the dean was doing it for her own good. She was just a little girl, and if she continued to be so stubborn and easily hurt, she would no longer have to face these children in the future.
"Let's wait a few more days. It's difficult to travel because of the rain. Besides, Hou Jian hasn't spoken yet." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes sank slightly. This Hou Jian was really stubborn. Compared with those bandits like Brother Shan, Hou Jian was really a tough nut to crack.
Hua Qing tried almost every medicine on him, but Hou Jian just wouldn't say anything.
"Hua Qing is still interrogating Hou Jian?" Xiao Jiuyue suddenly stood up and went to find Hua Qing. In the room, Hua Qing was torturing Hou Jian psychologically and physically, but Hou Jian didn't say a word.
"Don't think I don't dare to take your life. The effect of my heart-wrenching pills has been enhanced. You can try it again!" Hua Qing said gritting her teeth. Hou Jian was really the hardest-boned person she had ever seen.
"I don't know." Hou Jian kept repeating these few words. He lay on the ground, looked up at Hua Qing, and said with his dying breath: "Even if you kill me, I still don't know."
"You, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Hua Qing was so angry that she picked up a dagger and put it against his neck. When she saw Hou Jian's relieved look, she stabbed the knife directly into his thigh: "Want to die? It's not that easy!"
Hua Qing drew his knife expressionlessly. Listening to the noise at the door, Hua Qing wiped the dagger and put the knife away.
"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely be able to find out." Hua Qing felt that this was related to her face and her medicine, how could it be impossible?
"Hua Qing, have you ever thought that you might be going in the wrong direction?" Xiao Jiuyue walked into the house. It was a small house where firewood used to be piled. The smell of blood mixed with the physiological smell was very unpleasant, so she left the house directly.
Hua Qing followed him out and asked, "Miss, where did I go wrong?"
"You are good at calculations, so calculate whether his son is still alive." Xiao Jiuyue spoke directly. At that time, he received news that Hou Jian's entire family was buried in the sea of fire, and all the children were killed. Now it seems that this may not be the case.
