"My daughter has small pimples on her face that haven't been cured. She's seen countless doctors, but they haven't gotten any better and are only getting worse. Does Miss Lin have any good solutions?"
"Sir, I'm not a doctor. Why would you want to find me?" Lin Shuang really couldn't understand.
"The powder and rouge you gave my beloved wife last time looked so much better than her previous ones. I figured since you're so proficient in this, you might also know something about skin problems."
Meng Qi expressed his thoughts. His original intention was to let Lin Shuang see the red pimples on his daughter's face.
"That's fine. I can't guarantee it will work, but I'm just checking with Lingyuan."
"Okay, don't worry, it's okay if you can't see it."
The group went to the county magistrate's residence with the county magistrate.
"Madam, Yuanyuan, come quickly, Lin Shuang is here."
Pei Lan and Meng Yuan heard Meng Qi's voice and walked towards him together.
"Husband, is this Miss Lin?"
But when he saw that Lin Shuang was combing a woman's hair, he hesitated slightly.
Lin Shuang knew that here the husband is the most important person, and after a woman gets married, she will still be addressed by her husband's surname.
He took a step forward and said, "Hello, madam. I am Lin Shuang, and my husband's surname is Xiao. This is my husband Xiao Yi."
"Xiao Yi!" County Magistrate Meng Qi was a little surprised. Xiao Yi, how come this name is the same as the former great general who defended the country?
The general disappeared after resigning from his post, so he shouldn't be here. Meng Qi knew Xiao Yi before, but he had never seen his true form, nor had he seen the general's appearance.
However, the general's reputation was known to many people, but later he resigned for no reason, leaving everyone puzzled.
"Why, sir, do you recognize my husband?" Lin Shuang looked at Meng Qi in surprise.
"No, I'm just a little surprised. The young general of the Daqing Dynasty was so brave and invincible, but he resigned shortly after becoming the general. I'm just curious. It just so happens that this general and your husband are both named Xiao Yi."
Lin Shuang felt a little uneasy. How come so many people knew Xiao Yi? If he was the county magistrate...
"Have you ever seen that young general before?"
Meng Qi shook his head and sighed, "No, ah, why talk about this? I guess not many people can remember it now. Talented people are constantly changing. How many people still remember the generals who risked their lives to protect the Daqing Dynasty?"
"No one has heard from the general since he resigned. No one knows where he went. We only know that he lived in the capital for a long time. No one knows where his ancestral home is."
Lin Shuang noticed Xiao Yi's absent-mindedness and gently shook Xiao Yi's sleeve.
Xiao Yi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the worry in Lin Shuang's eyes, smiled reassuringly, and said that he was fine.
"Okay, let's continue talking about the red pimples on my daughter Yuanyuan's face." Meng Qi knew that such a great general who served the country must be living a good life in one place.
"Okay. Miss Meng, please sit down and let me see your face." Lin Shuang also knew that this matter should be dealt with first, and Xiao Yi's matter should be considered after returning home.
Meng Yuan was very excited. Could this sister, who looked only a few years older than her, really cure her face? But the fact that she could make such excellent rouge and powder proved that she was no ordinary woman.
Meng Yuan sat down obediently and watched Lin Shuang touch her face. She didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of making Lin Shuang unhappy.
Pei Lan was behind Meng Yuan, holding her hand and giving her some comfort.
Lin Shuang took a look and thought it was probably acne. Meng Yuan was about 13 years old now, in puberty, and had oily skin, so it was normal for her to have such acne.
I felt like I had succeeded, so I decided to buy some skin care products and some medicine in the space to make it disappear first.
"What's wrong, Madam Xiao?" Pei Lan asked nervously. He loved his first child very much. Besides, Yuanyuan was a girl, so the most important thing was her face and reputation.
Seeing Meng Qi and Pei Lan's anxious expressions, Lin smiled comfortingly, "My Lord, Madam, it's okay. I can treat Miss Meng's condition, but it may take a long time. It won't be cured in a day or two."
"I can wait for this, sister. As long as you can heal my face, I'm willing to do it."
When Meng Yuan heard Lin Shuang say that she could cure her face, she couldn't control herself. She stood up and excitedly grabbed Lin Shuang's hands.
Lin Shuang looked at the little girl in front of her, her face full of excitement and hope in her eyes. Lin Shuang knew how much harm this acne could cause to a girl.
Lin Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure you. From now on, you must get my approval for everything you eat every day. You can't eat anything you want like before."
"Okay, sister, I will listen to you."
Meng Yuan nodded heavily. This time, she felt that everything would be fine. She didn't know why, but when she saw Lin Shuang speaking confidently, she felt relieved.
"I'll write down what foods you can and can't eat."
"Come here, bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Meng Qi turned around and looked at the butler, waving his hand.
The housekeeper immediately turned around and fetched pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Lin Shuang did not let Xiao Yi write. Anyway, she had to eliminate all unsafe factors for Xiao Yi.
Although Lin Shuang's handwriting is not very beautiful, it is good enough that people can know what the characters are.
Meng Qi looked at it and said nothing. He felt that for some less affluent families, it was already good enough for their daughters to be able to read and write.
"Ms. Meng, these are things you can't eat. You must avoid hair-raising and spicy foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are good for your skin."
"Okay, sister, I will do what you say." Meng Yuan didn't want to be laughed at by others this time. Although she was the daughter of a county magistrate, she was always laughed at. She was not good-looking and no one would marry her in the future.
"Okay, I'm optimistic about you." Lin Shuang thought Meng Yuan was quite cute, and the county magistrate's family seemed quite friendly towards her, without any prejudice against her based on family background.
"Sir, are the rouge and powder I gave to Madam and Miss Meng last time still there?" Lin Shuang suddenly remembered something. It seemed that there was no preservative in that cosmetic. It would probably go bad soon in this hot summer.
It would be better to take them together and exchange them, and then give them a new set.
"Yes, but I haven't used it yet." Pei Lan replied, with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. I forgot to add something to this rouge and powder. I think it will spoil soon and become unusable. I thought I'd take it back, add some more things to it, and then give it to you. That way, it can last for three years."
