Mrs. Lin sat with her aunt for a while, then left Rongfu Hall and sat with several sisters-in-law. Mr. Lin only had four boys and one girl, so Mrs. Lin still received Mr. Lin's attention in the Lin family.
"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, but her complexion is getting better and better." Mrs. Yang, wife of the boss Lin Boxiang, looked at Mrs. Lin's delicate skin with admiration, as if she was really envious of twenty-year-old skin.
"That's right, although our ages are slightly different, you take really good care of yourself." The second lady, Mrs. Wu, was the most approachable. She sat next to Mrs. Lin and looked at her face carefully. She even touched her face with her hand.
"Oh, you look like those people in their twenties. I'm so envious of you."
"Second sister-in-law, don't make fun of me." Mrs. Lin blushed when several sister-in-laws looked at her. "I just used a little trick taught to me by a junior. Although it didn't make me stand out, my face did look much better."
Women, especially those in their thirties and forties, value their own color the most. If they are old and yellow, not only will they not be able to attract their husbands, they may also allow other women to take advantage of them. In this house, every lady is competing with a younger one.
The beautiful concubine is proof.
Everyone knows how Mrs. Lin looked when she returned to her parents' home. We know that she and her husband didn't have a very good relationship, so she didn't have much energy, and her face naturally wasn't very good. But now she has a rosy complexion and a very fair complexion.
It is shiny and looks more than ten years younger, and I heard that it was improved with some small methods. How can we not make these sisters-in-law excited?
"Auntie, don't be too pretentious and tell us what the solution is?" Second Lady Wu urged with some urgency.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, even if I tell you now, you can't use it right away." Mrs. Lin comforted Wu and then continued, "Actually, the method is very simple. In the summer, we eat the leftover watermelon rinds and leave them.
Take the white part and rub it on your face,
It takes about a quarter of an hour to wash it off. I usually cut cucumber into thin slices and apply it on my face for a quarter of an hour." Mrs. Lin told several sisters-in-law about the methods Lin Zhu taught her. Most of them are moisturizing and whitening methods.
, it is very useful for daily maintenance.
However, after hearing this, the ladies all looked in disbelief. "Is it that simple?" Lin Shurui's wife Zhao asked with some suspicion. In order to keep her skin young, she did not lose to 28-year-old girls.
I don’t know how much expensive rouge and gouache was used. But compared with Mrs. Lin’s, it is simply far behind.
"Well, now I just use some facial oil. I don't need rouge or powder. Those will dry out the skin on my face," Mrs. Lin touched her face and said. "When the skin is dry,
, people tend to look older, that's what the junior told me. Not only me, but also my Zhen'er's face seems to have changed. In my heart, I can't thank her enough."
When Mrs. Lin talked about Dong Yuzhen, several people all believed her. Dong Yuzhen's previous appearance was still fresh in their memories. They all thought it would be difficult to marry into a good family with her appearance, but they just saw her in Rongfu Hall.
At that time, I almost didn’t recognize it.
"Such a good idea, you have to tell us the truth, otherwise your sisters-in-law will let you out." Mrs. Yang also joked. The atmosphere in the room was very cheerful for a while.
"Okay, okay, let Mrs. Zhao explain it carefully later. She is one of the first people to use these methods." Not only did Mrs. Lin readily agree to the requests of her sisters-in-law, but she also sent out the most powerful
The capable mother Zhao.
Mother Zhao had saluted the ladies before, "Greetings to the ladies, I am fortunate to have tried such a good method. It is also my blessing to be able to explain it to the ladies."
Mother Zhao's humble attitude made them very satisfied. However, since it was not the time for cucumbers and watermelons to come out yet, just talking about it would have no practical effect. Mrs. Lin made an agreement with them to ask Mother Zhao to come and help a few days later.
A lady tried this method.
Although the effects of ordinary watermelons and cucumbers are not as good as those of specialty watermelons and cucumbers, ancient people ate all natural, green and pollution-free foods. As long as the right methods are used, they can achieve whitening and moisturizing effects.
Dong Yuzhen also told several cousins about beauty tips, and everyone seemed eager to try them. However, they also promised that they would try them if they had the opportunity in the future. Only then did the ladies of the Lin family let go.
Passed by Dong Yuzhen.
"Cousin Yuzhen, your little sister knows so much." Lin Qinglan looked at her with envy and said.
"That's right, it's just that her identity is a bit different. Otherwise, we would call her here and give us sisters a try in person, so that we can rest assured." Lin Qingxue said regretfully at the side.
As everyone knows, these words made Dong Yuzhen very unhappy. However, she also knew that this was her ancestral home and did not show it. However, she said, "Cousins, I have not been out for a long time, and my mother may also be here."
You're going back to me." She said goodbye.
"Let's leave so soon." Although Lin Qinglan was reluctant to leave, she just heard what Lin Qingxue said and noticed that Dong Yuzhen's face was unhappy for a moment, so she couldn't stop her.
Among the ladies of the Lin family, only Lin Qinglan and Lin Qingxue were legitimate daughters, and a few others were concubines of various families, so they were not as aloof as Lin Qingxue. They all asked Dong Yuzhen about Lin Zhu's situation to see if there was any chance to learn from her.
Get better tips for beauty.
However, Dong Yuzhen also told them that Lin Zhu was in the countryside and it was not convenient to come. If there was a new way, she would tell everyone, so she appeased them.
As soon as they heard that Lin Zhu was in the countryside, they lost interest in her. If she were in the capital, even though her status was lower and she might have some money, how could someone living in the countryside associate with them? The gap was too big.
A little further away. At first, the concubines who wanted to curry favor with Dong Yuzhen suddenly looked down on them with gleam in their eyes. What future could there be for a cousin who had a good relationship with a country girl?
Dong Yuzhen ignored them, said goodbye, and went to find Mrs. Lin. It happened that Dong Wenbo had also met several uncles, and they were also walking this way, and the two met together.
"Sister, why do you look unhappy?" Dong Wenbo asked with concern, "Are they laughing at you again?"
"No." Dong Yuzhen shook her head, "It's just that they seem to look down on sister Xiaozhu, so I feel a little unhappy." She said in a low mood.
"Your sister Xiaozhu won't care about this, so why are you looking for trouble?" Dong Wenbo knocked his sister on the head.
"Yes, Dong Yuyao mocked her in front of her before, but she didn't care at that time." Dong Yuzhen recalled the first meeting with Lin Zhu and laughed, "Sister Xiaozhu is not such a narrow-minded person.
"
"This is not a matter of measure, but Miss Xiaozhu doesn't care about this at all." Dong Wenbo shook his head, feeling helpless that his sister didn't understand Lin Zhu so well, "Miss Xiaozhu is a person who does big things, how can she care about small things?
What about these little disputes between women?"
"Brother, you have never met Sister Xiaozhu, how do you know what she thinks?" Dong Yuzhen didn't quite understand why her brother said so sure.
"If Miss Xiaozhu only cared about these status matters, would she get along with you so well? Don't forget, the one who is most favored in our family is the one." Dong Wenbo said softly.
"That's right, only sister Xiaozhu doesn't dislike me." Dong Yuzhen felt even worse when she thought of how she was ignored by her father and suppressed by Dong Yuyao at home.
"Okay, don't think about all this. Let's go find mother and then go home." Dong Wenbo patted his sister's head comfortingly and took her to find Mrs. Lin.
Dong Wenbo had already received a positive answer from Lin Boxiang, and after a few days he would be asked to go to the most famous academy in the capital, Qingshan Academy.
However, several of the direct young masters of the Lin family did not study there. Because of Mr. Lin's status, all the capable direct descendants of the Lin family entered the Royal Academy, and only the talented and learned concubines entered Qingshan Academy.
Dong Wenbo did not meet the previous conditions, so he could only enter Qingshan Academy. Qingshan Academy is not bad. There are many foreign students who want to enter Qingshan Academy but they cannot. Even if they are related, the knowledge of the students must be examined. Only qualified people
Only then could he enter. Therefore, the Lin family uncle only gave Dong Wenbo a chance to take the Qingshan Academy entrance examination. This was already quite rare for him.
Mrs. Lin declined Mrs. Lin's invitation to stay for dinner because she had just arrived in the capital and had things to do at home. Then she took her two children home.
On the way, Dong Wenbo told Mrs. Lin the good news, which also reassured Mrs. Lin, "You must seize this opportunity, it may be difficult to enter Qingshan Academy."
"Yes, mother, my son will work hard." Dong Wenbo nodded. In fact, Dong Wenbo was secretly urging himself that as long as he could enter Qingshan Academy, he would be separated from his two younger brothers. His father Dong Jisheng's partiality made him
He was also very sad, but he didn't say it out loud for fear of upsetting Mrs. Lin.
But he had his own considerations. He was very clear about the talents of his two younger brothers. Although they were better than his classmates in his hometown academy, they were not as good as him, so they let Mr. Liu use some dirty tricks behind his back.
He couldn't ask for a husband. They definitely didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to take the entrance examination of Qingshan Academy.
If he really can pass the exam, he will be separated from them. For Dong Wenbo, this result is the best. His father will not have anything to say.
On the way, Dong Yuzhen also told Mrs. Lin that several ladies from the Lin family looked down on Lin Zhu and complained to her mother with a small mouth.
"Mom, it's better not to tell them how to beautify your skin." Dong Yuzhen's childish look made Mrs. Lin and Dong Wenbo both laugh. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
