Upon hearing this, Hua Cui's hand trembled slightly, and hesitation and panic appeared on her face.
She was naturally afraid, after all, no one wants to ruin their appearance.
Can……
She was originally the young lady's servant. If the young lady asked her to die, she would not hesitate, let alone test the poison on herself.
He immediately and resolutely closed his eyes and leaned his face forward.
"Come on, miss, don't be afraid of the flower extract! Just smear the flower extract all over your face, I won't even flinch!"
Jiang Mingwei smiled helplessly, but did not refuse the little girl.
After all, the effect of makeup is always more noticeable on someone else's face than on your own.
She quickly applied the BB cream to her face, patting it evenly and making sure to cover every nook and cranny.
"Alright, mission accomplished!"
Heaven knows how nervous Hana was; her palms were sweating.
She cautiously opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, afraid that her face was covered with pustules.
But after just one glance, she was instantly stunned!
Wait, who is that fair-skinned, beautiful girl in the mirror?!
She moved from side to side, and the person in the mirror moved with her.
Hua Cui exclaimed in surprise, looking up at Jiang Mingwei in shock.
"Oh my goodness, Miss, I look so beautiful today! I've never seen myself like this before, I'm absolutely gorgeous!"
"Right? That's the effect of a BB cream. It can whiten the skin and correct blemishes. But you're a young girl, and your skin is already good. Applying it will make you even more beautiful!"
Jiang Mingwei gazed at Hua Cui's delicate face, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Very good, excellent!
It seems that the initial research on BB cream has achieved a phased success.
"Now that you've used it on your face and nothing's happened, you can finally let me use it, right?"
After saying that, Jiang Mingwei was about to apply the smear to her face.
Hua Cui stopped her again, shaking her head seriously and saying, "No, Miss, we should wait at least a day to see the outcome. Today, Miss should use pearl powder instead!"
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Jiang Mingwei had no choice but to compromise.
After getting ready, the two left the general's mansion together.
The BB cream has an excellent makeup effect, and coupled with my naturally good skin, it's safe to say I have naturally good skin!
When Jiang Mingwei thought of this word, she felt a moment of disorientation.
I always feel like those days are so far, far away...
Will she be able to go back in the future?
Upon arriving at Renyifang, sure enough, the herb gatherers were already waiting there.
Before even entering, Jiang Mingwei saw their bulging bamboo baskets and immediately smiled.
Sure, sending them on this trip was the right decision; it seems they gained a lot!
The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet her, and was about to speak to Jiang Mingwei with a smile when he suddenly noticed Hua Cui behind her.
A look of amazement flashed in her eyes, and she praised without reservation, "Miss Hua Cui looks no different than usual today, but why does her complexion look even better? She is truly beautiful!"
Hua Cui was slightly taken aback, blushed, and lowered her head in silence.
"I wonder how your herb gathering is going? Have you found all the herbs I need?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper remembered the important matter and quickly led Jiang Mingwei inside to explain.
"Miss is truly amazing! They said the valley is teeming with medicinal herbs, so everyone gathered a lot. I saw that there are quite a few of the herbs you wanted!"
"There are also some extremely precious medicinal herbs, which are sold in the capital and are all top-quality goods!"
Jiang Mingwei nodded, stepped forward to check each of their bamboo baskets, and took out the medicinal herbs she needed.
He looked at them one after another, nodding in satisfaction.
Yes, just what she needed!
Upon closer inspection, all the medicinal materials needed to develop the antidote for Li Yihuan were available, and the medicinal materials she needed to make cosmeceuticals were also basically complete.
Only one or two items are missing, but they are not extremely important, so it's okay not to add them.
If I encounter this again in the future, I won't eat it even if you add more.
Clearly, everyone took her words to heart, leaving with empty baskets and returning laden with them.
Even if she didn't gather as many of the herbs she needed, she substituted them with ginseng, deer antler, and the like, making sure she got plenty!
"Alright, thank you all. I'll accept all the herbs. I'll give each of you six taels of silver, and the extra tael will be your reward for your hard work. I promised to give you a reward, and I certainly won't go back on my word."
The herb gatherers were overjoyed and thanked Jiang Mingwei repeatedly, so much so that they wanted to kowtow in gratitude.
The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward to stop them and told them not to do that.
Everyone then gave an embarrassed, simple smile.
Seeing that they were all honest and simple, and none of them were cunning or deceitful, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but smile.
"In any case, thank you all for going to find the herbs! This journey must have been fraught with difficulties, so you will certainly be rewarded handsomely."
"If you can bring any more in the future, I will accept them all, but the price will be adjusted and will not be as high as it is today. This time is special, as it is your first time going, so please give us some compensation for your hard work."
The herb gatherers nodded in understanding.
After seeing them off, Jiang Mingwei began to tidy up the pile of medicinal herbs on the ground.
Just as he was about to pick them out one by one and go to the backyard to wash them, a figure suddenly rushed out and grabbed the herbs in front of her.
"Put it down and let me do it. This is my job!"
Jiang Mingwei was startled. When she looked up, she realized it was Niu Niu's mother, the woman who only had twenty coins on her.
It seems he has come to work at Renyifang as agreed.
"Don't rush, let me distinguish them."
The woman nodded rather awkwardly and quickly stood aside, watching Jiang Mingwei carefully select items.
After selecting the herbs she needed, she sorted out another pile of herbs and then pointed to the piles of herbs on the ground, telling her how to wash and dry them.
She doesn't need to worry about her own pile; she'll take it back herself later.
"Do you need me to wash it for you? After you're clean, Madam, you can take it with you without getting covered in mud."
Jiang Mingwei thought about it and realized that it made sense; washing it off wouldn't seem to affect the medicinal properties for several hours afterward.
So I entrusted the matter to her and asked her to do it.
The woman nodded and smiled repeatedly, then picked up the herbs and went to the backyard.
As soon as she left, the shopkeeper began to praise Jiang Mingwei.
“Miss, I’ve been guarding Renyifang for so long, and even when this pharmacy was booming, I’ve never seen anyone so capable and hardworking. You’re truly amazing!”
Seeing the shopkeeper's generous praise of the woman, Jiang Mingwei pondered for a moment, then got up and walked to the backyard, quietly peeking behind.
Although the woman was alone, she was extremely efficient. She drew water from the well, washed the herbs, and then dried them according to her instructions.
They were fast and did a great job.
The entire backyard has been completely transformed and is now neat and orderly!
Jiang Mingwei turned her head and looked ahead again.
I was so busy looking at the herbs that I didn't notice how spotless the room was, a stark contrast to before!
"She cleaned and tidied the entire house, inside and out?"
