Tonight, the moon rose from the west, and Zheng Yusang actually spoke up for Huang Wanzhen. "Mom, what are you talking about? Wanzhen behaved very well, and her Western etiquette was very good."
Zheng Liu curled her lips, clearly disbelieving her son's words. She glanced at Huang Wanzhen and began, "I know everything about the Huang family. Just her? A woman with bound feet who can't even walk properly, what knowledge can she have? And Western etiquette? What a joke."
Huang Wanzhen's mind was clear. It turned out that Zheng Liu not only couldn't understand what she said, but also couldn't understand what her own son said.
"Mom, we are tired today, so we will go back first. You and Dad should rest early."
Seeing her son always side with his wife, Zheng Liu was furious and complained to Zheng Ruqing, "Look at this!"
Huang Wanzhen was very used to Zheng Liu's harshness. She went back to her room as if nothing had happened and continued doing what she was doing.
Zheng Yusang felt a little embarrassed and said to Huang Wanzhen, "My mother is like this. If she says something you don't like, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Huang Wanzhen uttered a single sound through her nose, "Hmm." She was not like the original owner during this period of time, who only had the Zheng family in her eyes and heart. Their words were the sky, and their blame was her biggest mistake.
After washing up, Huang Wanzhen read a book for a while, turned on the light and went to bed before Zheng Yusang got angry.
Huang Wanzhen lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today. Although Zhu Tingzhou's suggestion was not good, it reminded her that she could open a shop and sell clothes and cosmetics.
In her previous life, she was a science and engineering girl. When she was bored in the laboratory, she made lipsticks and perfumes. She could also buy some soaps of this era, melt them and add flower petals in them. As long as she promoted and used them well, people would probably buy them even if the price doubled. Women of all ages have one thing in common - they love beauty.
This way, we can make money and solve Xiuqing's livelihood problem, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Huang Wanzhen became more and more excited the more she thought about it. She fell asleep in the middle of the night and got up very early the next day.
Huang Wanzhen used the time before and after class to buy a lot of things, even an alcohol lamp and a beaker.
Huang Wanzhen secretly worked in Xiulan's room for more than a month, making flower petal soap, lipstick and perfume.
Soap and lipstick are both made from semi-finished products, which is very simple. Perfume is extracted from flower petals, which is also not difficult.
The reason it took so long was mainly because Huang Wanzhen wanted to reduce costs and simplify processes.
After finishing all this, Huang Wanzhen finally had the energy to focus on her studies, because the date for the entrance examination to Beiman Girls' High School had been set, August 16th of the Gregorian calendar.
Shen Junru has already registered for Huang Wanzhen and obtained the examination certificate. It is said that the students who attend Beiman Girls' High School are either from wealthy or noble families. The registration fee alone is ten yuan. Who among ordinary families would be willing to spend so much money on a girl just to register, when it is not certain whether she can pass the exam.
Seeing that there was not much time left, Huang Wanzhen started preparing for the college entrance examination. Except for eating and sleeping, she kept writing and memorizing, mainly Chinese. Although scholars now advocate vernacular Chinese, most of the examinations still use classical Chinese, which made Huang Wanzhen dare not relax.
"I'm sorry, Wanzhen, I can't make up lessons for you this Sunday." Shen Junru, who has always been a good teacher, actually took the initiative to stop tutoring her students before the exam.
"Ah? Why?" Huang Wanzhen, whose back was covered with mosquito-repellent eyes, looked at her stupidly.
"Someone asked me to go to the movies on Sunday, and I agreed." Shen Junru had a silly smile on her face, and her evasive eyes immediately made Huang Wanzhen smell something fishy.
"Who is it? Man or woman? Why did you ask me out? Tell the truth, or I'll give you a big fight." Huang Wanzhen pretended to lie on Shen Junru and took a deep breath. "Ah? Oh my God! What's that smell? It's making my nose lose its function. Could this be the legendary 'corrupt smell of love'?"
"Haha, let me go, stop making trouble, stop making trouble." Shen Junru was laughing non-stop because of Huang Wanzhen's trouble. "Sit down, I will talk to you again."
Huang Wanzhen immediately sat up straight like a good baby, with her hands hanging naturally at her sides.
"Do you remember when I volunteered at John's Hospital?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded quickly, "Remember, it was me who suggested you go."
Shen Junru sighed, "Hey, I didn't tell you at first, because of that incident, I got entangled with a man. His family has some influence. He found out that I was teaching at the church primary school in Dexing, and he came to block my door all day long."
"One time he pulled me, and I was terrified. Just when I was desperate, Zhu Tingzhou, the young master of the Zhu family, saved me."
At this point, Shen Junru's expression was a little strange, a feeling of both fear and happiness. She had just put her expression back together and was about to continue talking when she heard Huang Wanzhen shout, "Zhu Tingzhou?"
"Well, is there something wrong?" Shen Junru looked at Huang Wanzhen confusedly, not knowing why she was so excited.
"He is not a good person!" Huang Wanzhen insisted that Zhu Tingzhou could not be trusted, but when Shen Junru asked her why she said that, Huang Wanzhen could not give a reason. She couldn't say that in the previous life, Zhu Tingzhou colluded with several foreigners to set up a trap for the original owner and cheated away all the original owner's belongings, right?
"Why do you say that? Do you know him too?" Shen Junru's eyes changed from confusion to scrutiny.
Huang Wanzhen said helplessly, "He's Zheng Yusang's classmate. He once cheated a girl out of her wealth. If you're willing to trust me, stay away from him. If you're not willing to trust me, I can't help you. You just have to think clearly. You might just get cheated by him as well."
"Your husband's classmate? Why haven't you ever mentioned him?"
Huang Wanzhen was speechless. Why did she say this again? Her tone became impatient. "You didn't ask? I haven't even mentioned Zheng Yusang to you. Why would I mention his male classmate? Does it mean that I have feelings for his male classmate?"
At this point, she froze for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and clapped her head twice. "I remember now. I mentioned you to him."
Shen Junru looked away uncomfortably, but asked honestly, "What did you tell him about me?"
Huang Wanzhen counted on her fingers, "About a month ago, Zheng Yusang invited him to dinner at the Six Nations Hotel and brought me along. He wanted me to work as a tailor in his shop and offered me a high salary of one hundred dollars a month, but I didn't agree."
"The lipstick I gave you a few days ago was something I only remembered to make after I met him."
"Why are you talking about me?" Shen Junru asked anxiously.
Huang Wanzhen thought for a moment and said, "Oh," "It's a bit complicated. He was attracted by my suit-making skills, but I didn't agree! He asked me who my teacher was, and Zheng Yusang said, 'You are my teacher.' I didn't think much about it at the time and just agreed. Besides, it was the truth."
