Outside the window, there was the shouting of the tribesmen and the sound of horse hooves tapping.
Even though everyone has come to the capital and has a stable and prosperous life, it is difficult to change their living habits of herding horses, herding sheep, and hunting in the desert.
Early in the morning, Su Chengcheng took the men of his clan out hunting.
Su Nianyun's territory covers a hundred miles, and everyone is no longer afraid of conflicts with other tribes.
Su Nianyun stood up, walked around Chunhua and Xia Yue who were sleeping on the couch, opened the door and came outside.
A familiar scene from childhood appeared in front of me, Aunt Azhu was carefully stirring the mare's milk in the pot in front of the campfire.
Smelling the familiar scent of mare's milk, she sat next to Aunt Azhu.
In the past, her father and brother took the tribe out for hunting, and she would come to Aunt Azhu's house to drink the mare's milk that Aunt Azhu had just cooked.
"Ayun, why did you wake up so early? Don't you want to rest more?"
Su Nianyun shook her head and leaned next to Aunt Azhu, "I want to watch Aunt Azhu work."
Su Azhu touched Su Nianyun's head and held her in her arms.
The two of them leaned in front of the bonfire, watching the mare's milk in the pot boiling little by little, and then Su Azhu scooped out a bowl of mare's milk and handed it over.
"Drink it while it's hot. When you were a kid, your favorite was the mare's milk cooked by Aunt Azhu."
"So Aunt Azhu, you still remember." Su Nianyun took the hot bowl.
"Why don't you remember," Su Azhu smiled, "You were just a greedy little cat at that time. Whatever Aunt Azhu's house was doing, you came here just because you smelled it..."
"That's not because Aunt Azhu is good at cooking and everything she cooks is delicious."
Su Nianyun drank the mare's milk with satisfaction, but a tear fell into the mare's milk without noticing.
"By the way, Aunt Azhu, why don't you see Jiaojiao? Where did she go?"
After drinking the mare's milk, Su Nianyun was curious about Su Jiaojiao's whereabouts.
"She, in the morning, Grandma Liu said she was going to fetch water. She and Grandma Liu went to the river together and said they would take a bath by the way."
"Take a bath?" Su Nianyun was stunned.
"Yes," Su Azhu said with a smile, "It's not because you gave her so much balm. She showed off to other girls last night and didn't have time to take a shower, so she went to take a shower now."
"She said she wanted to clean her up so that Aunt Liu could teach her how to use balsam..."
"So... that's it," Su Nianyun laughed dumbly, and then she asked Su Azhu, "Aunt Azhu, can you use the facial cream I gave you?"
Su Azhu nodded, "I washed my face at the river and applied it when I came back."
Then he showed his face in front of Su Nianyun, "Look, the wrinkles are reduced a lot?"
Su Nianyun looked at Su Azhu's face, which was indeed moisturized a lot.
But if you want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it may not be possible in a short time.
She instructed, "Well, Aunt Azhu, from now on you must insist on taking the medicine I prescribed for you and applying these facial oils, and your face will definitely get better."
Su Azhu nodded, "I will."
As her daughter regained her vitality, Su Azhu also regained some vitality. Especially when she came to the capital, everyone had a new vision for life.
While the two were talking, Su Jiaojiao had already returned with Nanny Liu.
Aunt Liu walked in front, while Su Azhu walked behind with a bucket of water.
She exuded a moist and fragrant smell, "Ayun, I've brought you some water. Wash up quickly!"
Su Nianyun glanced at her and said, "It seems that grandma has taught you how to use those balsams and hair oils, right?"
"Well," Su Jiaojiao nodded and sat down in front of the campfire, "Mama Liu taught me a lot. She knows too much..."
Su Azhu is the beauty of the Su family, and Su Jiaojiao also inherited her mother's beauty.
It is youth, the most beautiful moment.
Grandma Liu dried her hair by the river, and then taught her many tips on women's beauty and skin care.
In addition, Nanny Liu came from the palace, and her actions were generous, graceful and knowledgeable. Su Jiaojiao regarded Nanny Liu as a god.
Last year, she was lucky enough to meet the daughter of the Yao clan leader. She had been using the balm sold by the foot merchant, and her skin was much better than others.
She does not require herself to be like those fair-skinned and beautiful girls in the capital, as long as she is no worse than the daughter of the Yao clan leader.
"By the way, mama, these things you taught me are really useful. Can I call my friends over and you can teach them together?"
Aunt Liu nodded, "Miss Jiaojiao, just call them here. I will definitely teach you everything I know."
"That's great!" Not long after Su Jiaojiao sat down, she quickly stood up and went to call her friends.
"Jiaojiao..."
Seeing her daughter's thoughts coming out, Su Azhu couldn't help but said to Su Nianyun, "Ayun, you are so delicate and reckless. Aunt Liu is your side, so this will not delay you..."
"How could it be?" Su Nianyun shook her head, "I'm very happy that Jiaojiao likes Grandma Liu. Grandma Liu is an old man in the palace and can teach her many things."
"When they come over later, let Nanny Liu tell them some of the rules of the wealthy families in the capital. This will also make it easier for them to deal with those people when they open the shop later."
Upon hearing Su Nianyun's words, Su Azhu asked in surprise.
"Ayun, you said last night that you would let Jiaojiao and the others take care of the shop. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true," Su Nianyun smiled, "Aunt Azhu, I'm not kidding."
"You see, Uncle Cheng has a medicine shop and a fur shop to manage, and then gives them two rouge and gouache shops. One is that they can't understand it, and the other is that they are not as proficient as women."
"But there are two shops, and Gillian herself has no business experience. She is afraid that she will not be able to support one shop." Su Azhu's face was full of worry.
"Aunt Azhu, don't worry, I've already arranged someone in the capital."
"After the shop opens, they will help and assist Jiaojiao. If you have any questions, you can contact Uncle Cheng or me."
"Then are the people arranged by you in Beijing reliable?"
"Them?" Su Nianyun nodded, "Those two fathers and women are both good..."
The helpers Su Nianyun selected for Su Jiaojiao were the father and daughter of the Shi family, Shi Xuan and Shi Zhenzhu from Rouge Shop on Taohua Street.
After buying their shop, Su Nianyun temporarily closed the shop, and she arranged for the two father and daughter to move to the new shop she bought behind them.
It was a two-story shop on Fu'an Street.
This shop sells rouge gouache, but because it is on the same street as the famous "Peach Blossom Noodles" shop in Beijing, and at the same price, the Peach Blossom Noodles are better.
The shop could not establish itself on Fu'an Street, so it had no choice but to sell the shop and change the venue.
So Su Nianyun bought this place.
At first, Su Cheng only regarded this place as the last option for Su Nianyun. After all, there was already a dominant Taohua Noodle restaurant here.
But unexpectedly, Su Nianyun was optimistic about that place.
It can be said that neither of the two shops Su Nianyun bought was what Su Cheng had expected.
The father and daughter of the Shi family never expected that although they were forced to sell their small shop in the end, they would eventually become the talkers of a large two-story shop.
At this time, the two fathers and daughters were cleaning up the inside and outside of the shop, just waiting for the place to be renovated so that they could sell the rouge gouache that the owner said was more expensive than peach blossom noodles.
Not far from the two father and daughter, there is another shop that is looking gloomy and gloomy, that is the jewelry shop belonging to the Chen family.
The old lady was holding Mother Wen's hand and stamping her feet inside, "What's going on? What's going on?"
She asked the shopkeeper, "Didn't you say that the orders of people buying hairpin rings are all full, and the master craftsmen are too busy?"
She pointed to the deserted jewelry shop, "It's been five or six days, and a few customers have come here. Tell me why the craftsmen are so busy?"
The shopkeeper said, "Old madam, it's not something I can decide whether there are more or less customers. This was indeed the case when you came here a few days ago!"
