The ladies here are passing the lipstick around and examining it carefully.
Mrs. Meng had a lower status and didn't even squeeze into the circle. She just listened from outside the circle.
As a result, the three words "soap", "lipstick" and "perfume" popped into Mrs. Meng's ears, and she was really shocked.
Because she knew clearly that Meng Guxue had just invented soap some time ago, and was currently working hard on researching "lipstick"!
Mrs. Meng had also heard Meng Guxue mention the word perfume.
At that time, she curiously asked Meng Guxue where these strange prescriptions came from.
Meng Guxue said that she saw it from a rare copy and she was the only one in the world who knew it.
But now, Qingzhou not only has these three things, but has also grown into a big country. This...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng was worried that Meng Guxue would suddenly hear about it and make a fool of herself, so she quickly turned around to look for her daughter.
Just like the ladies who like to gather together, the young ladies from wealthy families also sit together to laugh and play.
Mrs. Meng looked over from afar and saw her daughter sitting alone, looking lonely and somewhat pitiful.
She felt a slight pain in her heart and hurried forward.
"Xue'er?"
Meng Guxue was a little surprised when she saw her mother coming to her.
Madam Meng took Meng Guxue aside, tucked her hair tenderly, and asked softly:
"Xue'er, why don't you play with them? Did someone bully you?"
Meng Guxue shook her head, looking nonchalant.
"I don't want to play with them. We have nothing in common."
These young ladies are so spoiled that they always talk about which brand of jewelry they are wearing or which brand of cosmetics they are wearing. It's so boring!
She had a clear goal in attending the palace banquet this time. Once she succeeded, these young ladies would naturally come to her eagerly to please her!
When Mrs. Meng saw that Meng Guxue was showing her arrogant expression again, she immediately frowned, and the gentleness on her face disappeared.
"Xue'er, what did mother tell you before coming to the palace banquet?"
Meng Guxue frowned slightly when she heard this, and said helplessly: "Mother, I remember everything. Am I not being obedient?"
Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Guxue carefully, and was relieved to see that she had finally calmed down.
"Xue'er, you...you told mom last time that you were the only one who knew the formula of the soap and lipstick. Is that true or not?"
Meng Guxue didn't understand why Madam Meng suddenly brought up this matter, but she nodded anyway.
Of course! That’s all modern knowledge!
Mrs. Meng's face became slightly serious. "Just now, I heard from them that Qingzhou has produced soap, lipstick and perfume, and they are all selling well!"
"What!?"
Meng Guxue was so surprised that she suddenly raised her voice, instantly attracting the attention of people around her.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Meng hurriedly pulled Meng Guxue and smiled apologetically to the people around her.
But Meng Guxue was so stunned that she didn't care about the looks of the people around her.
She tightly grasped Mrs. Meng's sleeve and asked anxiously:
"Mom, what you just said is true? Did you hear it right? Are you sure it's soap, lipstick, and perfume?"
Mrs. Meng was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly pulled Meng Guxue to a place with fewer people.
"Xue'er, keep your voice down!"
Meng Guxue was about to cry!
These three recipes are her greatest reliance!
In that extremely clear dream, it was these three things that made her and Shen Lang earn a fortune.
She was planning to confront Shen Lang about these three recipes today!
Apart from her, no one else could know these three recipes!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue stopped suddenly.
Could it be that other time traveler who appeared briefly during the Lantern Festival?
After the Lantern Festival, there was no news from that man and she had almost forgotten about him.
Who could have thought that today, that person would get there first and give her another hard blow!
Seeing that she had reached the wall and there was no one around, Mrs. Meng stopped.
When she looked back, she found that Meng Guxue's face was pale and she looked like she had suffered a great blow.
"Mother, I don't believe it. I want to see it with my own eyes. Which lady did you hear this from? I want to ask her in person."
Meng Guxue's face turned pale and he said stubbornly.
Madam Meng sighed deeply, "I didn't just hear about it. I saw it with my own eyes. Madam Yang took out the lipstick and showed it to the other ladies."
"My mother also took a look. The red paste looked shiny and glossy."
Meng Guxue's heart sank suddenly when he heard this, and he almost couldn't stand.
"Why...why every time I am full of confidence, nothing goes smoothly..."
Mrs. Meng was really worried about her daughter. Seeing her so distraught, she comforted her in a warm voice:
"Xue'er, can't we not stop fighting? Although mother is useless, she will definitely find a good marriage for you. Just be a good lady in the boudoir—"
“No, no, no, no!”
Meng Guxue was a little overwhelmed and covered her ears not wanting to listen anymore.
No matter how good the daughter of a minister is, she can only marry a young man of equal status. What she wants to be is the consort of the second prince and the future queen!
This is her destiny. She traveled through time and space to enjoy all of this!
"Xue'er! Xue'er, keep your voice down!"
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Meng quickly shut up and hurriedly pulled Meng Guxue's arm.
Although this place is rarely visited, you will be punished if you make loud noises in the palace!
Meng Guxue took a deep breath as Mrs. Meng pulled her and managed to calm down.
Her eyes were gloomy, and she said in a cold voice: "Mom, I won't give up. Even if someone gets there first, those three formulas are the most important!"
"As long as I have the formula, I can fight against that person and I won't necessarily lose!"
When Meng Guxue thought of this, her collapsed heart finally found a bit of confidence.
If those three things sell well in Qingzhou, Shen Lang will surely see the appeal of the formula even more. In this way, her bargaining chips will be more convincing!
After thinking about this, Meng Guxue finally calmed down completely.
That’s right, we should think positively, she is the destined daughter of this world, no one can defeat her!
"Mom, let's go back. The palace banquet is about to begin."
When Mrs. Meng saw Meng Guxue's expression, even she, as a mother, was frightened.
Sometimes, she really felt that her daughter had become a complete stranger.
These ambitious eyes, always coming up with new ideas, could the well-behaved and timid daughter of the past really have such eyes?
Mrs. Meng was surprised and suspicious, and followed Meng Guxue away quickly.
On the bank of Yuhua Lake, separated by a wall, the Second Prince Shen Yuanbai slowly stood up, his face full of thought.
The cheating case in the imperial examination was concluded some time ago, and he was sure that the Gu family was going to fall, so he immediately sent people to Qingzhou at full speed to prepare to take over the Gu family's stake.
Unexpectedly, someone was as sharp as him and even bought the best three odds at a higher price.
He sent two groups of people to investigate, but neither could find out who the buyer was.
Not long ago, those three markets launched new products, namely soap, lipstick and perfume, and they became an instant hit, so successful that it was as if they were helped by God!
formula......
The girl on the other side of the wall knows the recipe...
"Your Highness, the palace banquet is about to begin."
Zhufeng came from a distance and reminded respectfully.
The second prince nodded calmly and ordered, "Zhu Feng, go check which young lady in the capital has the word 'snow' in her maiden name, and report back as soon as possible."
