Chapter 13 Panic

Fortunately, flowers that are cultivated in space can survive no matter how harsh the environment is.

Even though the hole she dug was not deep enough and she didn't water it much, the flowers still bloomed extraordinarily luxuriantly.

When Shen Yuefu saw such a large field of flowers, she couldn't stop smiling: "Oh, that's good! No need to worry about running out of flowers!"

Suddenly, Wang Xifen accidentally stuck to Liang Huanxue's face without losing color.

"This rouge doesn't fade! Yuefu, you are amazing! I saw those men coming out of brothels and being caught by the wives because they were stained with rouge."

It was too late for Nian Huayue to cover her mouth, and she finished her words with a few mumbles.

"Why did you mention the brothel in front of Xue'er?" Nian Huayue had no choice but to pull the person aside and scold him in a low voice.

Wang Xifen just said it casually without thinking too much, "It's my fault for not being able to control my words! Fortunately, all the men in our Liang family are good and would not go to such a place!"

Liang Huanxue couldn't help but smile when she saw how nervous they were.

She knows about the flower building, is there any need to avoid her like this?

"I'll pick some and take them back to try to see if the rouge I make is just as good." Shen Yuefu went back to the house, took out a bamboo basket, and picked a basket of rouge.

Then I returned to the room, and just like yesterday, I crushed the petals to squeeze out the juice, put the bamboo pulp paper in to soak, and took it out to dry.

Because this flower was originally transplanted from the space and was already nourished by spiritual spring water, Liang Huanxue did not add any more spiritual spring water.

"This color looks better than yesterday's!"

"I'm just worried that some people might not like such a dark color. It would be better if it could be a little lighter."

When Nian Huayue and Wang Xifen heard that the rouge was ready, they couldn't wait to come and see.

Although the color looks good, Wang Xifen doesn't like such a deep color.

But yesterday's color pleased her more.

"Mom, Second Aunt is right. We can make a few more shades so that we can meet the needs of different people!" Liang Huanxue said seriously.

Shen Yuefu looked at her in confusion, "What color? What do you want?"

Why does her daughter only speak words she can't understand?

Did you learn this from Chen Lao Er?

"Mom, what I mean is that rouge can have more than one color. It can be dark or light. You can also add petals of other colors to make it a different color. Maybe someone will like it."

Liang Huanxue almost forgot that people in the era she lived in didn't understand these things.

She needs to be more careful with what she says next time.

"Yes, that's what I mean. If I put this color on my face, it would look like a monkey's butt. I would be laughed at when I go out. I still think yesterday's color is better."

Wang Xifen didn't dare to imagine what this color would look like on her face.

"Second sister-in-law, that's not an exaggeration!" Shen Yuefu was amused by her description.

But she thought about it and felt that what Xueer said made sense.

Not everyone likes such a dark color, maybe she could make a few more colors for people to choose from.

But she would have to wait until she was sure that the rouge could be sold.

Otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"This business hasn't opened yet, let's just sell it first. It's not certain whether anyone will buy it, why think so far ahead?"

Shen Yuefu decided to go to the county town to sell rouge early the next morning.

Liang Huanxue also clamored to go.

Shen Yuefu didn't agree at first, but she softened her heart when she saw her tearful face.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but don't complain of being tired halfway through the journey. I won't treat you like your father does!"

She knew that the last time the brother and sister followed Liang Yuanwang on the road, Liang Yuanwang was exhausted.

"I'm afraid mother can't catch up with me!" Liang Huanxue snorted.

Shen Yuefu gently pinched her little face, "You have learned to speak harshly. Then I want to see who walks slower tomorrow!"

Before dawn, Liang Huanxue was pulled out of the quilt by her mother.

She washed and combed her hair in a daze, and almost put on her shoes the wrong way when she went out.

If anyone was to blame, it was because she spent too long looking for seeds in space last night. She didn't even sleep for two hours before she was killed by her own mother.

"Are you still going?" Shen Yuefu felt both amused and distressed when she saw her like this.

"Go!" Liang Huanxue drank two sips of the spiritual spring water and immediately became much more sober. Her eyes were sparkling and her look was stubborn.

Shen Yuefu carried the backpack and led her out the door.

Not long after I started walking, I realized someone was following me.

Shen Yuefu was so frightened that she didn't even dare to turn her head. She walked faster and faster, and Liang Huanxue was almost flying because of her.

"Mom! Mom! Don't be afraid, look back first!" Liang Huanxue shouted.

She knew that her mother was very well protected by her father and rarely went to the county town alone. This was the first time she went out so early in the morning.

It's understandable to be afraid.

But shouldn't she look back and see who is following her?

If you just keep your head down and walk forward, aren't you just scaring yourself?

Shen Yuefu took a deep breath, as if gathering her courage, and then quickly looked back.

Then I saw Nian Huayue and Wang Xifen, who were very good at holding back their laughter.

The look she gave them made them unable to hold back any longer and they burst out laughing.

Shen Yuefu blushed in embarrassment, "Stop making fun of me. Am I not afraid of bad people? You also know that these past few years have not been peaceful."

Although they fled here to escape famine, they settled here and their lives seemed to be stable.

But from time to time, there are still incidents of burning and looting.

Every time something happens, people become panic-stricken.

"I won't laugh at you. We are here to help. People in the county town are not easy to deal with. If you get into trouble, we will support you!" Wang Xifen understood her concerns.

If she went out alone at this time, she would be scared if she suddenly heard a noise behind her.

Nian Huayue stopped smiling, walked over, took the backpack off Shen Yuefu, and put it on her own back.

"Cousin, how can I trouble you..."

"Why are you talking about whether it's a trouble or not? We are a family, so why are you being so polite? I'm strong, I'll just carry you. Let's go quickly, or we won't know when we'll get to the county town!"

Liang Huanxue originally wanted to walk by herself, but Nian Huayue and Wang Xifen loved her and insisted on holding her, so she didn't move for an hour.

After finally reaching the county gate, I found it was closed.

In my impression, the city gates would only be closed when something big happened.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that there was a thief in County Magistrate Fu's house, so the city gates are closed now."

"No way, you think Wenxuan should be fine."

"No, Wenxuan is so sensible."

The children raised by the Liang family are all very sensible and would never do such a thing.
