Chapter 254 Making a Facial Mask
"Millet……"
Seeing her in a daze, I thought she was tired. "You must be tired after listening for so long. After dinner, go back and rest."
Xiaomi looked at Sun's face right in front of her. It was the first time they were so close, so close that she could clearly see the crow's feet at the corners of Sun's eyes, and the faint chloasma. Her skin was also a little dry, and her complexion was slightly yellowish.
Time makes people grow old. Even if they are taken good care of, women cannot escape the mark of time.
This mother-in-law had never bullied her since she got married. On the contrary, she was quite caring and respectful towards her, and now she was even devoted to teaching her how to run the household.
If someone gives her a peach, she will return the favor.
For a woman, especially a rich one, the most important things are definitely her husband, children and her own face.
Beauty fades and love fades. When a woman gets old, a man will naturally be moved by the sight of a beautiful flower. It seems that she should also take good care of herself. Keep a good figure, take good care of her skin, and improve her temperament.
"Then I will take my leave first and start making wine this afternoon. When the pomegranate wine is ready, please enjoy it."
"Don't tire yourself out. Leave it to the people below."
"Ai!"
After returning, Lin Xiaomi didn't have time to rest, "Xi Que, go to the clinic and buy me some herbs, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, White Poria, White Peony Root, White Aconitum, and Bletilla striata. Remember, don't show it outside."
"Yes." Xi Que nodded and took the prescription in his hand seriously.
She was not curious about what her master wanted these herbs for. As a servant, she only had to do what she was told.
"Master, do you want to buy two from each clinic?" If we buy them separately, the prescription will not be leaked.
"Okay, use a larger quantity and buy some other herbs to cover it up."
"Yes." Xi Que left the house immediately.
After getting the herbs, he told Daya and Sanya to grind them into powder in the room.
She plans to make a facial mask, but she doesn't know how effective it is. Just now, she saw her mother-in-law and suddenly remembered this recipe. She will try it herself first. If it really works, she may make a fortune again.
No matter what time, women's money is the easiest to make.
Especially for wealthy women, they are willing to live and die for beauty, so spending a few taels of silver is nothing.
Lin Xiaomi looked at the medicinal herbs and giggled. She seemed to see white silver flying towards her from all directions.
After demonstrating the process of making pomegranate wine, she told the kitchen staff to continue making the rest, and returned to her room with a few bowls, a jar of honey, and ten eggs.
The people in the kitchen looked at each other in bewilderment. Was the lady going to cook sweet eggs in the room? Why not in the small kitchen?
"How is it, is it polished?"
"Okay, ma'am. Have you seen enough?" Daya showed her the ground powder.
"That's all for now."
Lin Xiaomi took out a bowl, poured in some seven-seed powder, then poured in honey and water, and stirred evenly.
"Come, put it on my face." She lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
"Yes."
Daya took the bowl and carefully applied it to Lin Xiaomi's face. In the past, the young lady had applied cucumbers, egg whites, and rice washing water, but this was the first time she had applied the medicinal herbs on her face.
The magpie was looking at it in surprise. The lady's face now, well, looked quite creepy.
"You all put it on too."
Lin Xiaomi, who was lying on the bed, said softly, "When doing a facial mask, you can't speak loudly."
The three of them carefully helped each other apply facial mask. After that, Lin Xiaomi asked them to sit down and wait.
They looked at each other, all with a grimace on their faces, wanting to laugh but not daring to. The lady said that if you laugh too loudly, you will get wrinkles.
very scary!
Sitting quietly, not daring to move.
Lin Xiaomi estimated the time in her mind, and after two quarters of an hour, she went into the inner room to wash her face. She was afraid that the maids would scare people if they went out, so she asked them to wash their faces inside as well.
Several people were flattered that they were using the same washbasin as their master!
After washing her face, Lin Xiaomi patted it and found it was really smoother and more moisturized.
"Touch your face, is there any difference?"
"So slippery!" San Ya shouted.
"Really? It's so tender. Is this my face?"
Everyone touched their faces in shock. It felt so good to touch! So tender and smooth. Was it really because of their rough skin before?
Looking at Lin Xiaomi with admiration, Madam is indeed not an ordinary person! She can actually turn decay into magic!
“I’m trying the egg white one.”
Several maids have tasted the sweetness. Before, they had to obey the master's orders, but now they are actively preparing facial masks and applying them to each other.
"Apply it to your hands and neck, too."
She was afraid that the effect would not be obvious after just one application.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Wow! Ma'am, my hands seem to be a little white. I can't bear to let go of them after touching myself like this."
"Pfft!"
San Ya is really something, she dares to say anything.
Daya, Xi Que glared at her and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Madam, don't worry. I will keep this facial mask recipe strictly confidential and will never reveal a single detail."
Xi Que’s mind worked quickly, and combined with Lin Xiaomi’s previous caution, she knew that this recipe was by no means simple.
"Ma'am, so do we."
"Me too!"
The three of them were busy assuring each other that the Madam had not concealed such an important matter from them because she valued them, and they would not do anything to let their master down.
"Well, I believe you."
Daya, Sanya, what recipe in the village did they not know? They never leaked a single word. Especially Sanya, who was so lively, she kept everything under wraps.
As for the magpie, it is smart and knows what not to do.
"Xiaomi, come here. This is the expenditure of each room in the mansion this month. Take a look."
She really felt that the bills made by the ancients were too complicated, piled up in piles, and dizzying to look at.
Seeing that Lin Xiaomi could quickly calculate the total amount by turning a page, in less than half an hour, she had clearly calculated the expenses of each courtyard. Sun was amazed, wondering how many more surprises this daughter-in-law could bring her.
"Xiaomi, how did you figure this out? Why don't you even use an abacus?"
Please learn about mental abacus.
"The daughter-in-law just went over the bill in her mind and calculated it in her mind."
"How did you learn this skill?"
"When I was a child, my family was poor and there was no abacus for me to practice on, so I calculated in my mind. After a long time, I no longer needed an abacus." Lin Xiaomi smiled shyly: "In fact, I still don't know how to use an abacus!"
Sun:......
Grandma:......
Is the legendary young genius her daughter-in-law? Sun was in a trance. She felt that she had originally planned to teach her how to run the household in half a year, but now it seemed that she did not know her daughter-in-law well enough.
For her, maybe a month is enough.
Thinking back to the day when she studied hard for a whole year, she still struggled to be the head of the family. This is a bit discouraging!
Sun felt that she might not be able to teach her daughter-in-law, so she had to talk to the Marquis about this in the evening.
Oh, she is so smart, how much pressure her son must be under!
After everyone left, only Lin Xiaomi, Sun, and the people who served them were left.
"Mom, I noticed your skin was a little dry yesterday. I happened to find an ancient recipe for moisturizing and whitening. After I went back yesterday, I and a few maids tried it. The effect was quite good. Would you like to try it?"
Looking at the corners of Sun's eyes, the crow's feet are quite deep! There are also some light melasma, which can't be covered by powder.
