"Three years? Madam Xiao, you are truly amazing. You can actually make such fine rouge and powder. The ones I usually use break down after a while, so I have to buy more frequently. It costs me a lot of money every year to paint on them."
"Madam, this is different from ordinary rouge and powder. I guarantee it won't spoil for several years."
"Okay, I'll ask Mother Yu to give it to you. When you make it, you must let me try it." Pei Lan was so moved when she heard Lin Shuang say that rouge and powder could last for three years. How could every woman not be moved when hearing this?
"Of course. Madam will need to promote it when the time comes." Lin Shuang smiled.
"Haha, you are quite direct, but I like your personality." Pei Lan likes people who are direct but not stupid. It is more comfortable to play with such people.
She doesn't like people who are cunning and speak in a roundabout way, and always feels that they might stab you in the back one day.
"Sister, you have to leave it for me too. I'll promote it for you. There will be a lot of people laughing at me. When my face heals, and I use the rouge and powder you make, I'll be many times more beautiful than I am now."
"You really are thinking about this, you silly girl." Pei Lan scolded with a smile.
But at the same time, I also look forward to that day.
The three women were talking about rouge and powder. Meng Qi felt that Xiao Yi had a good impression on him, so he pulled Xiao Yi aside to talk about everything. When he learned that Xiao Yi had beautiful handwriting, he felt a little excited because he also liked to practice calligraphy.
The two went to the study to compete to see whose handwriting was better and more steady.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yi, you are much better than me. Your Slender Gold calligraphy is so beautiful."
The kids sat obediently on the stools nearby. There were snacks on the table and a maid was watching them.
The cubs knew they would have to go back late again today, so they didn't hesitate to eat as much as they wanted and brought the little wolf cubs here to play with them.
The maids thought that the children were not only good-looking but also quiet, so they stayed quiet and chatted with each other from time to time.
"Is this a dog? So cute."
"No, it's a little wolf cub." Xiao Jingyu said as he touched it.
"It's a wolf. Aren't you afraid that it will bite you?" The maid swallowed nervously.
"No, it's very well behaved."
The maids seemed quite well behaved, but it was the first time they heard of raising wolf cubs. However, it was none of their business.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Shuang suggested going back.
"Madam, Miss Meng, it's getting late. I should go back."
"Sister, just call me Yuanyuan."
"Okay, Yuanyuan."
Pei Lan looked at the sky outside and saw that it was indeed getting dark. "Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Pei Lan brought it up, but was afraid that people might not like it, so he just mentioned it casually.
"No, ma'am, I have things to do at home."
"Oh well."
Xiao Yi and Meng Qi also finished talking, and the two met.
I took the kids back with me.
Meng Qi and Pei Lan looked at their backs.
He sighed and said, "I'll hang out with them more in the future."
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"This Xiao Yi is not an ordinary person. Don't offend them no matter what."
"Okay, I understand. I like Lin Shuang too." Pei Lan said with a smile.
Lin Shuang and Xiao Yi took the children on a carriage and went directly to their house in town without returning to Qingshui Village.
After a busy day, the children felt sleepy and went to bed after taking a shower.
Lin Shuang and Xiao Yi made three bags of instant noodles, ate them, washed up, and then had a dream meeting with Zhou Gong.
Xiao Ce lay beside Lin Shuang and stroked her cheek. It was a great honor for him to have Shuangshuang in his life.
I just hope that these short and beautiful days can stay at this moment and go by slowly.
Now that Jing Yu and Wang Shu have both passed the plot line, only Nan Xin and his parents are left.
When half of the time had passed, Xiao Yi wondered how the good days could be so short. He had just experienced love and understood his own feelings.
The sun has slowly risen from the east, and a new day has come. Today Lin Shuang plans to send the children to school.
"Today, we will start school. You all must behave well and not act naughty." Lin Shuang helped Xiao Ce and Xiao Jingyu put on their clothes and gave them instructions.
"Mom, I will be good."
"Yes, that's what a good baby should be like.
Qi Yan, you too, tell me if you have anything to say." Lin Shuang looked at Qi Yan and Qi Yue without saying a word.
"Aunt, I will." Qi Yan bowed deeply. Without his aunt, there would be no them.
"Good boy." Lin Shuang saw tenacity in Qi Yan. Like Xiao Ce, he was also at the same age but had to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family's rise and fall.
It wasn't easy for Xiao Ce either. He witnessed the death of his parents but was powerless to do anything.
"Let's go back to the village and pick up the stone."
"OK."
Xiao Yi drove the carriage, and the group arrived at Qingshui Village while others were still eating.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here to pick up Shitou for school. You guys need to wash and change Shitou's clothes for a few days. It will take a while for me to come back. But, Uncle Village Chief, you can come to town to visit him."
"Okay, Guihua, go prepare some clothes for Shitou."
He Guihua went into the house immediately, and Shitou quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then ran to Xiao Jingyu's side.
"Uncle Xiao, Aunt." Shitou called out.
"Shitou, don't cry when you get to the academy. You won't be able to see your family for a long time. Talk to them later."
Lin Shuang smiled and touched Shitou's head. It was inevitable that a child who went to the academy for the first time would miss home, after all, he had never left home.
"Yeah." Shitou said goodbye to everyone in his family and said that he would study hard.
He Guihua took a bundle and walked towards him.
"Lin Shuang, I don't know what to say to you, kid. Why are you so nice to Shitou? Shitou told us that the clothes and study supplies you bought him two days ago cost 11 taels of silver."
"This is the expenses of us country people for several years. You are so good to Shi Tou, how can we repay you?" He Guihua felt that she could never repay the favor.
"Aunt, don't say that. Shitou will remember me when he becomes successful in the future. Uncle and Aunt never said anything about their help in the past, and I am the same."
"Shi Tou, when you become successful in the future, you must not forget your Uncle Xiao and Auntie, understand? Otherwise, I will crawl out of the ground to find you."
"Grandpa, I get it. I will definitely not forget it, otherwise I will slap myself to death first."
"Puchi, okay, it's time for us to go." Lin Shuang felt that there was also a funny element in the village chief's family.
Xiao Yi took Shi Tou's bag, and Lin Shuang asked the children to get in the car.
When they arrived in town, Lin Shuang thought that the children didn't have schoolbags, so she took them to Dieying Pavilion.
"Sister Lan."
"Sister, come in quickly. When you went to the county magistrate's mansion yesterday, did the county magistrate give you any trouble?" Mei Lan asked worriedly.
