"After cleansing your face, apply plum blossom ointment; after half a month, your skin will be smoother."
"Sister, there's no need to be so polite. Just call them by their names," Madam Cen said, picking up her teacup.
He Yi smiled and nodded.
"Shall we give it a try, Miss Chunying?"
Seeing her young mistress smile demurely, Ping'er bowed to He Yi and took the plum blossom ointment to apply to Chunying.
"My dear sister, you've gone to so much trouble. Next time you bring Long'er back, please don't bring anything again."
"My sister has such a sincere heart for Long'er, so naturally I, as her younger sister, cannot be left behind."
The two women were locked in a fierce battle over their little cub, while Huo Xiaolong below was completely oblivious to the danger above. He was happily picking up the overturned bear cub, then pushing it back down, having a great time.
"If you ask me, our Long'er is just naturally gifted. Little sister, you have no idea, I've made this much money just from selling octopus these past few days."
Mother Cen held up two fingers and said...
He Yi said with a hint of pride.
"As her mother, I don't ask for her to be rich or powerful; I just wish for her to have everything go smoothly and as she wishes."
Chunying lay on the recliner with her eyes closed; if she had her eyes open, she would have rolled them to the sky.
Everything is going smoothly and as you wish, what more could you want, God?
If Long'er wants to be emperor, then so be it?
Over the past few days, Cen's mother has said countless times that Long'er is the little god of wealth at her brothel, bringing her great fortune.
The biological mother and godmother must have spoiled their daughter rotten.
"It's time, Miss Chunying, you may wash your face now."
Ping'er helped her up and washed her face, and found that her skin was indeed much smoother, and the pimples that had appeared from eating spicy food in the past few days had also disappeared.
"Madam's remedy is really effective; my acne has all disappeared!"
He Yi smiled and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. The paper contained the recipe for plum blossom ointment.
"Since the girls in the building like it, then it's a blessing."
He Yi placed the paper on the table and continued speaking.
"This recipe, given to the beautiful lady, will enhance Chunying's already stunning looks."
"What's wrong, little sister? Are you getting distant with me?"
"The girls in the building have taken good care of Long'er, and as her mother, I should thank them."
"Look at you, how about I pay for this recipe..."
After another round of tearing and tugging, Huo Xiaolong, having had his fill of playing with the teddy bear, picked up his finger and dripped spiritual spring water into the plum blossom ointment.
She felt that adding spiritual spring water to the plum blossom ointment would definitely make it more effective.
"Long'er, what are you doing!"
Cen's mother's shout startled Huo Xiaolong, Chunying, and He Yi.
"Try adding a few drops of water, Mom. I feel like adding some elixir would make it work even better."
He Yi and Chun Ying were both stunned by what they saw.
What did they just see?
Why does water come out from my fingertips?
It was also the first time that Cen's mother had seen where the elixir came from, and it frightened her quite a bit.
"You silly child, I told you not to expose yourself outside, and you just went and relieved yourself right here."
Cen Ang picked up the little girl and patted her bottom twice, a little annoyed.
"But there are no outsiders here, Mom and Mother, and Sister Chunying, none of them are outsiders."
The little dumpling is a bit strange.
He Yi understood Cen's mother's intentions. If this matter got out, her daughter would definitely be burned to death as a monster.
No matter what your daughter is, she is still a piece of your flesh.
Even if she is a demon, she is still a daughter of the Huo family!
“Your mother is right. Even in front of us, you are not allowed to do that!”
Huo Xiaolong nodded. It was a good thing to be cautious. She had never been beaten down by the powerful forces of this era and was unaware of hardship.
Listen to your elders; at least they won't harm you.
"Hey! Long'er, what about the old man with the white beard who gave you water in your dream the other day, is that true?"
Chunying then realized what was happening and pinched the little girl's cheek, saying...
"Um!"
The little girl nodded.
"Rest assured, Madam, I will keep this a secret."
The girl bowed to He Yi.
"If Madam is still worried, Chunying can swear an oath."
He Yi shook her head and said
"I trust you, there's no need for that."
————Knock knock knock
"Aunt Cen, the account book is here. Would you like to take a look?" Ping'er said from outside. She had just finished washing Chunying's face and went to get the account book from Aunt Cen.
"Enter"
The maid placed the account book on the table, and Madam Cen turned to yesterday's page and said to He Yi...
"Sister, look, we sold out of grilled squid last night. The gentlemen all said we didn't make enough. Do you think we should expand this business?"
Cen's mother knew that He Yi was good at managing accounts, and wanted to ask for her opinion.
"My sister must be incredibly busy in the kitchen every day now."
"Yes, business is indeed good, but if we add a grilled squid dish, this dish can't be left unattended; we need to dedicate someone to grilling it all the time."
"If you want to do this business, sister, why don't you find someone else to set up a stall outside the brothel? The food will attract customers, and you'll definitely earn more than you do now."
Upon hearing this, Cen Ang's eyes lit up.
"Sister's Clever Plan"
Huo Xiaolong was getting a little anxious when no one paid attention to her. The little dumpling held up a small bowl containing plum blossom ointment and said...
"Would any of you like to try this plum blossom ointment?"
Her two mothers looked at her with pursed lips, and He Yi asked.
"Would you dare to do it again?"
"I won't do it again, Mother!"
"Put it on both me and your mother-in-law, let's try it together."
He Yi and Cen's mother sat down on the recliners, waiting for their little dumpling to apply face cream to them.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
After Huo Xiaolong finished serving his two mothers, he asked from the side...
