Gu Lili couldn't help but feel that she was already quite old.
I've told them several times to just call her Miss Gu, but they still haven't changed their way of addressing her.
Helpless, Gu Lili had no choice but to let them go.
Gu Lili and her servants distilled some essential oils, which they brought back to the East China Sea this time.
Gu Lili also brought back hydrosol.
Perhaps, in the future, we can develop in the direction of skincare products.
When Gu Lili and her companions arrived in Jiangdu, there were three of them.
When they returned to the East Sea, there were six more people besides Li Ershu who stayed in Jiangdu.
Not only were there more people, but Liu Ying also brought large bags and small packages of Jiangdu specialties.
With so many people and things, Gu Lili's carriage naturally couldn't carry them all.
Gu Lili secretly put most of the things Liu Ying gave her into her spatial storage.
However, there are still many of these things.
So Gu Lili bought three more carriages.
A horse-drawn carriage was left for Li Ershu, making it convenient for him to travel back and forth between the village and Jiangdu City.
The other two cars were used, one for carrying luggage and the other for the men traveling with them.
Gu Lili, on the other hand, was chasing the wind, taking Yu Yirou and her daughter with her.
"Madam Liu, I'm counting on you to take care of my second uncle," Gu Lili said with a smile.
At this moment, Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin's eyes were already red. After spending several days together, the two had already regarded Gu Lili as their own family.
Liu Ying's voice was muffled as she said, "Don't worry, Lili, I will definitely treat Ershu as my own son!"
Li Ershu, who was initially feeling a bit upset, suddenly found himself at a loss for words when he saw Gu Lili's earnest expression.
Is Gu Lili the uncle, or is he the uncle?
"Lili, don't worry, I'll take good care of the workshop for you," Li Ershu said helplessly.
I don't know if it's because of Old Zhou's apprentices, but they keep calling Gu Lili "housewife," and it's gotten to the point where Gu Lili is obsessed with it.
Gu Lili nodded and took out the gifts she had prepared for the mother and daughter from behind her back.
"This is a gift for you. I hope you like it."
The mother and daughter accepted the gift. Just as Liu Ying was about to open it, Gu Lili stopped her.
"Madam Liu, let's open it inside later," Gu Lili winked at Liu Ying.
Liu Ying thought it was something that shouldn't be seen by others, so she nodded and put the gift box away.
"Alright, you don't need to see us off anymore. We're leaving now, everyone. Until we meet again!"
Gu Lili smiled, waved to everyone, jumped onto the carriage, flicked her whip, and headed towards Donghai Town.
Liu Ying, Liu Miaoyin, and Li Ershu all couldn't help but tear up.
Especially Liu Miaoyin, whose tears had already fallen to the ground.
She had never had any friends growing up, and Gu Lili could be considered her first friend.
Watching his friend leave, he felt reluctant to part with him.
"Miaoyin, don't cry. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you to Donghai Town for a visit," Li Ershu quickly comforted her upon seeing her distress.
In winter, there are no flowers left to extract essential oils from.
The workshop will then take a temporary break, and Li Ershu will be able to return to Donghai Town for a while.
Liu Miaoyin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded heavily.
I've already started to look forward to going to Donghai Town.
She's never left Jiangdu in her entire life.
Liu Ying naturally wouldn't stop him; she only hoped that Li Ershu would come to propose marriage soon, and then everything would fall into place naturally.
Li Ershu had other matters to attend to at the workshop, so after dropping off Gu Lili, he hurried off to the western suburbs.
Liu Ying and her son Liu Miaoyin also returned to the Liu residence together.
In the front hall of the Liu residence, a mother and daughter sat at a table, curiously looking at the gifts that Gu Lili had given them.
"Mother, shall we open it and take a look?" Liu Miaoyin suggested.
Liu Ying had the same idea, so she quickly nodded.
The two opened the box and found that Gu Lili had given them a set of rouge and face powder.
The aroma and craftsmanship were unlike anything the two had ever seen before.
Liu Ying took out a bottle of lip rouge and opened the porcelain bottle. The color was one that she had never seen before in Jiangdu.
“Come on, Yin’er, let me try it on you,” Liu Ying said eagerly.
Liu Miaoyin looked at the box of lip rouge, her eyes like red beans, quite different from the bright red lip rouge she usually wore.
She immediately pouted and brought her lips towards Liu Ying.
Liu Ying smiled indulgently and gently wiped her lips with her ring finger.
The color, once it touched her lips, made Liu Ying feel as if she were having some kind of illusion.
Liu Miaoyin's complexion seemed to be much better than before.
"This is really good stuff!" Liu Ying couldn't help but praise.
If this were sold in my own perfume shop, it would definitely be snapped up by the ladies and wives of Jiangdu.
Liu Miaoyin couldn't wait to take out the small mirror that Gu Lili had given her from her sleeve, break it open, and start looking at herself.
While taking a picture, she nodded and said, "Yes, Mother, I've taken the maids to many cosmetic shops these past few days, but I've never seen this one before. Do you think this was also made by Lili?"
This was bought by Gu Lili from her spatial storage, so it's impossible for it to appear in Jiangdu.
However, once things were sorted out, Gu Lili naturally wanted to create everything she knew how to do.
Then they are sold nationwide, and even to other countries.
After all, Gu Lili's dream is to become a little rich woman!
"Even I don't know. You can ask Ershu next time and see if he knows. If it really was made by Lili and it's mass-produced, we Liu family must sell it as soon as possible." Liu Ying shook her head and smiled.
Liu Miaoyin nodded, saying she would ask Li Ershu next time she went to see him.
This is why connections are so important – you might as well use them!
Liu Miaoyin was rummaging through the cosmetics in the box when she suddenly found a letter inside.
"Mother, look! It seems Lili left us a letter!" Liu Miaoyin said excitedly.
Then the letter was taken out from the bottom of the box.
Liu Miaoyin also noticed with her sharp eyes that, in addition to the letter, there were two much smaller jewelry boxes inside.
She took it out as well.
Liu Ying took the letter and saw that it was addressed to "Liu Ying". She then gently opened the letter.
After opening the letter, Liu Ying reached in and took out two silver notes worth five hundred taels each.
Liu Ying found it strange and reached in again to rummage around, only to find that there was nothing else besides the thousand taels of silver.
"Mother, why is Lili giving us money?" Liu Miaoyin asked, puzzled.
Liu Ying had already guessed the general idea: the thousand taels was probably the difference in price Gu Lili gave her for the estate.
He then smiled helplessly and truthfully told Liu Miaoyin the truth.
Liu Miaoyin nodded and said, "Mother, it seems that it will be very difficult for us to repay Lili's favor."
