The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the watermelons in Linzhu Fuzhuang are getting more and more mature. Shopkeeper Du from Muyue Trading Company has already sent people to Song County to prepare, waiting for the first batch of watermelons to go on the market.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen exchanged letters almost every month. Dong Yuzhen had long wanted to play in Lin Zhu's farmyard. Finally, the weather got hot, so Mrs. Lin relented and let her go to the countryside to escape the summer heat, so Dong Yuzhen took her maid
A group of six guards arrived at Lin Zhu's house. In fact, Mrs. Lin arranged for many more people than this number, but Mrs. Liu made another mistake and said that Dong Yuyao was going.
When celebrating birthdays at my maternal grandfather’s house, I feel at ease if I have someone to accompany me on the long journey. Who doesn’t know that Liu’s natal father only celebrates his birthday in October? She is just trying to steal the limelight, so Mrs. Lin doesn’t care about her and sends such a message.
Several people, all of whom he trusted, followed Dong Yuzhen to Lin Zhu's house. Lin Zhu arranged Dong Yuzhen in the back room, which also had an attached east and west wing, which was just enough to live in.
Lin Zhu's arrangement made the people who came with Dong Yuzhen very satisfied. Among them was Mrs. Lin's dowry servant whom Lin Zhu and Chang's mother knew. Everyone called her Mrs. Zhao. Mother Zhao was also regarded as Mrs. Lin's confidant, so she followed
Dong Yuzhen and Mrs. Lin couldn't be more at ease. Mother Zhao and Mother Chang met each other, and Mother Chang told her Lin Zhu's arrangements one by one. Both of them were capable people, and everything was sorted out in a short time.
Almost there.
Dong Yuzhen arrived at the right time. The first batch of watermelons in Linzhu Fuzhuang was already ripe. Chang Shi went to Fuzhuang to arrange for the people from Muyue Trading Company to pick and ship them. When he came back, he happened to bring ten watermelons back, which was two hundred taels of silver.
Yeah. But everyone tacitly didn’t say it out loud, so Dong Yuzhen and others didn’t know.
The price of this watermelon, but it is already a big deal to have watermelon at this time. It is something that only the wealthy people in the county can have. Lin Zhu came up with so much at once. Not only Dong Yuzhen was surprised, but even Zhao’s mother was surprised.
I couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, and I was a little confused about Lin Zhu's background.
In order to welcome Dong Yuzhen, Lin Zhu specially made a watermelon chicken. There were also some seasonal vegetables and so on. Lin Zhu's vegetable garden had long been arranged next to the wolfberry garden. It grew very well and the family could not finish it.
Families close to them would come over to pick some and take them back, such as the village chief’s house. There was also the Wang family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family had just been found out to be pregnant, and Aunt Guo also
I was overjoyed. I had heard from Aunt Li that the food from Lin Zhu's family that Liu Qiucui ate when she was pregnant was not bad for the taste and was good for her health. So Aunt Guo also asked Lin Zhu for some vegetables. Lin Zhu did not expect that her food was so effective.
, since it is good for pregnant women, she naturally generously lets her pick it as she pleases. Anyway, the yield of vegetables grown from seeds that have been moistened by space is surprisingly high.
Dong Yuzhen didn't expect the food at Lin Zhu's house to be so delicious. Although it was not as exquisite as the ones at home, the taste was surprisingly good. She unknowingly ate too much, and when she put down the bowl and chopsticks, she realized that it was too filling. "Sister Xiao Zhu.
Your food is so delicious." Dong Yuzhen's face is much better now, and the small acne is gone. But her skin is still a little rough. After all, this cannot be changed overnight.
It is a good thing, so now she can control the amount of meat she eats, but this is the first meal at Lin Zhu's house. "I have eaten a lot of meat, will there be those bumps on my face?" She was a little worried.
I'm worried. It's every woman's nature to love beauty. Now her face has finally gotten better. Her good sister can no longer tease her about this. What if the power is broken?
"Sister Zhen, don't worry. It's okay. I ate too much vegetables just now. As long as the combination is good, it won't have any impact. If you are scared, let's go for a walk in the garden later to eat some food. Don't worry.
.I guarantee you won’t have any more bumps on your face at my house. I’ll do it again tonight.
It's a good thing, guaranteed to make your face tender, white and smooth." Lin Zhu used the special cucumber at home to make facial masks for Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui, and the effect was great. Now they are most fond of cucumber.
I'm so enthusiastic about it, I'm even planning to plant some late cucumbers so that I can make facial masks with cucumbers until October.
"Really? That's great." Dong Yuzhen was extremely convinced of Lin Zhuke now, and the improvement on her face and body was so obvious.
In fact, the beauty effect of watermelon rind is also good, so Lin Zhu planned to use a two-pronged approach, so he kept the leftover watermelon rind and cut the white flesh into thin slices. Even the women, big and small, gathered together
In the house, everyone is making facial masks together.
At first, Mother Zhao and Dong Yuzhen's eldest maid Shuitao were a little unhappy and asked their young lady to put the leftover food on their faces. However, they saw that both Mother Chang and Qian Xuehui were used to it, and their young lady didn't say anything.
She agreed without saying anything, and it was difficult for the two of them to refute Dong Yuzhen's intention. They had no choice but to follow suit. If something happened, all three of them would be the same, and they would be punished less when they went back.
But what they didn't expect was that the effect was amazing. In fact, Lin Zhu understood the secret. First of all, they didn't do various moisturizing operations on their faces like modern women. Secondly, the rouge at this time
Gouache is also relatively dry, so there is a lot of it on their faces
Everyone is dehydrated. After applying watermelon rind on the face, and then massaging the facial skin, it has the effect of soothing, calming and hydrating. Of course, the effect is the most obvious when doing it for the first time. In this way, Mother Zhao still has to follow her.
None of the maids and ladies had any objections to using watermelon rind for skin care.
"Sister Xiaozhu, do you think my face is much tenderer?" Lin Zhu makes Dong Yuzhen watermelon masks and cucumber patches every day. Her skin is really much better, her face is also shiny, and her complexion is whiter.
These are not that healthy whiteness, not the whiteness produced by using powder puff. In addition, she is here in Linzhu, and she will be white every day when the sun is not very bright.
Every day, I go to the wolfberry garden to walk around. I especially like to play with Fu Dou'er. Not only does my mood feel good, but my body also feels relaxed. As a result, my whole person has changed. The white and rosy skin on my face is radiant, and although I am very tall, I
, but the person lost some weight and looked slimmer. Mother Zhao and other servants in the magistrate's office were both shocked and happy to see the result.
"Yes, Sister Zhen's face is almost like a peeled egg. It's so tender and smooth. Come on, let me touch it." Lin Zhu teased her and reached out to touch her face. Dong Yuzhen smiled.
Then she ran away, "No, your face is tenderer than mine, touch your own." Now Dong Yuzhen no longer puts powder on her face, Lin Zhu thinks
She is still young and should not apply powder on her face. Besides, most of the powders at this time contain a lot of lead and are very harmful to the skin, so I advised her to be natural and only apply some skin care facial oil. In addition, Chang’s mother
He also knew some ways to protect his face and body, so under Chang's mother's care, Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen both became plump and tender.
So Dong Yuzhen was so happy playing here in Lin Zhu that she couldn't miss Shu. Fortunately, Mother Chang would still teach some rules every day, otherwise she would have been called back by Mrs. Lin. At Lin Zhu's request, Mother Chang also treated Ruyu and Youqing.
They all received different guidance. Although we can’t tell anything in a short time, their family members all
She clearly felt the difference in her daughter. She knew the rules and was polite but not excessive. Her behavior was very different from other country girls. The mothers happily formed a group headed by Aunt Li to thank Lin Zhu. Moreover, Ruyu and the others also got to know each other.
As the eldest daughter of the magistrate's family, even though she can't say it out loud, it is an extremely honorable thing.
On this day, Lin Zhu, Dong Yuzhen and their friends from Linjiacun were sitting around the house learning embroidery from Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui. As a handicapped person, Lin Zhu was just reading a book to accompany them. There was also Zhao.
Mom and Mu Tao were waiting on the side. The room was very lively. Either this person made a wrong stitch, or that one was accidentally pricked. There were also the voices of Chang’s mother and Qian Xuehui’s guidance from time to time.
Everyone worked for a long time. When Lin Zhu saw that it was almost time, he asked Mother Zhao to bring a plate of cut watermelon and placed it on the table under the grape vine outside. In fact, it can no longer be called a grape vine, because
We couldn't find grape vines, so we planted honeysuckle in the bamboo forest. Now they grow very densely, and the two colors of flowers they bloom are very fragrant. It's very pleasant to sit under them in summer.
So everyone tasted watermelon, chatted and laughed, and a group of little girls chattered.
Lin Zian felt resentful since he was caught last time, but he did not dare to make any more mischief in Linjia Village. He knew that if he made some damaging moves against Lin Zhu, he would be driven out of the village easily. So,
He went to the county seat to find Zhou Dalang and became his follower
For the sake of his former brother, Zhou Dalang asked Lin Zian to do some small things, but they were much more profitable than him digging for food in the fields. Therefore, Lin Zian's mother-in-law started to tremble in the village again and praised her to the sky.
Lin Zian has become successful in the county and has made a lot of money.
This news reached Lin Zhu's ears, and she immediately became alert. It seemed that the person Chang Shi saw in the county town was indeed Lin Zian. However, Lin Zian's mother-in-law refused to say that Lin Zian was in the county town.
What on earth was going on, and Lin Zhu's family was always peaceful, so Lin Zhu gradually stopped asking for news about Lin Zian.
After Lin Zian stayed in the county for a period of time, he also gained Zhou Dalang's trust, so Lin Zian gradually let Zhou Dalang know about Lin Zhu's affairs bit by bit. In addition, Zhou was humiliated in front of Lin Zhu's door a year ago.
Zhou Dalang also had the intention of causing trouble for Lin Zhu. However, he could never find the right time.
On this day, Lin Zian came to Zhou Dalang's residence in the county town with wine in hand, "Brother Zhou, I heard that you have a day off today, so my younger brother specially bought your favorite Zuixianjiu from Ditan. How about we have a drink together?"
Zhou Dalang is also a good drinker, so after hearing this, he was still reluctant, "Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook some dishes. We won't come home until we get drunk today."
