Before Jiang Tuantuan could say anything, Erlaizi couldn't wait to drive the chicken over.
"Wait, Erlaizi, wait until Mai Wu comes. Just hold on a little longer."
Er Laizi said excitedly: "Brother Mai Wu is coming, that's great, I missed him so much."
When Erlaizi was still in Fujiang County, Mai Wu often went to help him. Because Mai Wu could read and count, he would teach Erlaizi whenever he had nothing to do, so Erlaizi is much stronger now.
Moreover, they have similar personalities and get along very well.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "That's right. They'll be here in a few days. I've rented the hill in front and the twenty acres of land behind it. I need to plan it carefully."
After walking around the hill, Jiang Tuantuan was surprised to find that there was a water source next to the hill. This would make it convenient for them to get water when raising cattle, and the grass on the hill was quite lush.
It’s really good, very satisfying.
As a result, Li Jingchen's life has been much better these days.
That day, Mingman was strolling around the Imperial Garden out of boredom when she happened to run into Concubine Shu. The two of them greeted each other.
Mingman had a good impression of Concubine Shu, because Concubine Shu was one of the people who supported the Queen and had a carefree personality, so she was willing to talk to her more.
They walked to a rockery and sat down. The palace maids brought tea and snacks. When Mingman stretched out her arm to pick up the teacup, Concubine Shu happened to see the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mingman, your bracelet is really beautiful. Which craftsman in the palace made it?"
Ming Man shook her wrist and said proudly, "My good friend Tuantuan gave it to me. She owns a shop, and the craftsmen there made it. Isn't it beautiful?"
Concubine Shu nodded quickly. They looked beautiful, really beautiful. I wanted a pair too. Look at me. I’m wearing the original ones now.
"Sure, the shop is Jiangyue Pavilion, and everything there is custom made."
"Customized. Sounds pretty new."
After returning to the palace from the Imperial Garden, Concubine Shu sent the senior palace maid by her side to inquire about the Jiangyue Pavilion.
After some inquiries, I finally learned that the pomegranate skirt worn by Princess Mingman some time ago was also made by Jiangyue Pavilion. It is said that Jiangyue Pavilion also sells pearl cream, which is very easy to use and can make the skin better and whiter.
When she thought about it carefully, Princess Mingman's skin did look better than before.
So he immediately asked the palace maid to buy a jar for him, and then customized a gold hairpin and a pair of gold bracelets for him.
The senior palace maid immediately took the money and left.
After arriving at Jiangyue Pavilion, she was received by Erliu. The two hit it off and recognized each other immediately.
The senior palace maid said in surprise: "Er Liu, it's you."
Er Liu was also very surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Shu Guifei asked me to come and buy pearl cream and customize some jewelry. You are working here now."
"Yes, I'm the shopkeeper here."
The senior palace maid looked at Er Liu with great envy, "I really envy you. Many palace maids can't leave the palace when they reach a certain age. Even if they do leave, they have no way to support themselves. They can only marry someone they don't like and live a miserable life."
Er Liu said: "I am also lucky to have met Her Royal Highness the Princess and my current employer, otherwise I would not be where I am today."
They are the same age, one is still serving in the palace, while the other has left the palace to become a shopkeeper and has freedom. The senior palace maid is extremely envious and even a little jealous.
It takes half a month to make custom bracelets and hairpins. As for what they will look like, the head maid said, "The imperial concubine didn't say it explicitly, but she just thinks Princess Mingman's is beautiful and wants to make one that's just as beautiful."
Her words really put Mai Feng and Madden in a difficult position!
Er Liu introduced the things on the counter. This is pearl cream, which can whiten the skin. This is rose cream, which has a good moisturizing effect. Moisturizing means keeping the skin tender.
Then this is camellia soap and rose soap, which are used for washing hands. Your hands will be more tender after washing with this.
After listening to Er Liu's introduction, the head palace maid also bought one. After all, Concubine Shu was rich and had a good family background, so she couldn't afford a few taels of silver.
Er Liu packed the things and handed them to the head palace maid.
After picking up the things, the head palace maid left Jiangyue Pavilion. On the way back to the palace, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She wondered why there was such a big gap between them even though they were both servants.
She also wanted to leave the palace. Although Concubine Shu had suggested that she leave the palace, she didn't dare to do so. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive if she left the palace, so she refused. But now when she saw Er Liu, she regretted it very much.
She felt regretful and a little jealous. Looking at the pearl cream on her hand, she hardened her heart and secretly sprinkled something on it.
After returning to the palace, the head maid handed the things she bought to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu took a look at them. One was pearl cream with a milky white texture, which looked very good, and the other was rose cream with a faint rose scent. She didn't know which one to use for a moment.
The senior palace maid immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, try using pearl cream. It's said to be their shop's signature product, and it can also whiten your skin."
When Concubine Shu heard this, she immediately adopted her opinion.
Although it was not time to go to bed yet, she couldn't wait to wash her face. She used camellia soap to wash it, and after washing, she felt her hands were really comfortable.
Then I scooped out a little bit of pearl cream and applied it on my hands first, and then on my face.
I touched my face and it felt indeed softer, and it even felt better when I pinched it.
The Concubine Shu praised the head palace maid for her good work.
The senior palace maid nodded guiltily.
After waking up the next morning, Concubine Shu touched her face with pearl cream again, and then excitedly took the pearl cream to find Mingman.
Mingman was sitting lazily by the window reading a book. When she saw Concubine Shu coming, she put down the book and went out to greet her.
"Mingman, look, I also bought pearl cream."
Mingman's eyes lit up. "Have you used it? How does it feel? Is it particularly useful?"
Concubine Shu said, "It works very well. I feel like my face has become softer after being pinched."
As she spoke, she opened it, applied a little more on her hand, and then scooped out a little more for Mingman. Mingman pushed it open on her hand and felt that the color was a little strange.
The color on Concubine Shu's hand is a little gray, while the color on her hand has always been pure milky white.
Seeing Mingman's strange behavior, Concubine Shu asked, "What's wrong?"
Ming Man shook her head. "It's okay. I just got distracted."
"Have you not had enough rest recently? You've never been in good health since you were a child. You must take good care of yourself, otherwise your mother will be worried."
After the two of them sat for a while, Concubine Shu left.
At night, after Mingman washed her face, she opened the pearl cream and applied it on her face. She finally realized something was wrong. There was definitely something wrong with what was on Concubine Shu's hand.
