The five taels of silver at home were almost spent after treating Aunt Cui’s medical treatment and taking medicine. Ye Zhenzhen went up the mountain every day to pick mushrooms and dry them. She made a total of three guan. Two of the guan was used to buy spices and carefully made a box of powder and rouge.

The fragrant powder is a purple jasmine powder recorded in the "Zhuyu Mountain House Miscellaneous" in the Ming Dynasty. Jia Baoyu used it for Ping'er in "Dream of Red Mansions". The book says that this powder is "light white and red, with all kinds of beautiful things", and is not like ordinary fragrant powder "blue and heavy and astringent" and is high-end.

In his previous life, Ye Zhenzhen tried to arrange the arrangement according to the "Zhuyu Mountain House Miscellaneous Department" and failed more than ten times before she successfully copied it. Otherwise, according to the current conditions, she would not be able to succeed at one time without proficiency.

At this time, rouge is made of paper made of grease and vegetable pigments. It is applied on the lips and face. It is inevitably unhygienic and the makeup looks thick and greasy.

Ye Zhenzhen made rouge paste, pick unknown wild flowers in the mountains, wash them and pound them into thick slurry, filter them with fine yarn to extract the juice, soak them in silk and dry them, and finally get a dense and moist cream.

This box of rouge has a light and clear texture, and is magnificent and red in color, just like a sunset glow. The Ye Zhenzhen is named Luoxia Paste.

These two boxes of purple jasmine powder and Luoxia paste are believed to be sold for a lot of money, and the cost of the Zhenge Benzhai trial has been settled.

Aunt Cui was also worried about this. After dinner that day, she said worriedly, "The college entrance examination will take four days, and it will take an hour to go back to Yejia Village from the county. Brother Zhen has to take the exam, so he must live in the county. But where does the money come from at home to stay in the inn?"

"No need to stay in the inn. The daily exam takes only half a day. I will come back after the exam. It's time to go."

"no."

Ye Zhenzhen rejected it without thinking, "It's easy to come back, what about when I go? You get up early and are in a bad condition, which will affect the exam too much. Just live in an inn in the county. I made two new boxes of powder, and it will be enough to sell it."

Ye Zhenzhen was urging her so-called cosmetics for a while. Aunt Cui and Cui Weizhen saw it and thought she was just playing around. Now she was shocked to see her take out the finished product. Such a cosmetics were even something they had never seen before.

"It's not an exaggeration to sell such a good fatty powder for dozens of taels."

Aunt Cui tried it, and her delicate and light texture made her love her. She couldn't help but sigh, "The famous jade hairpin butterfly powder is not as good as that."

Jade hairpin butterfly powder is the most popular fragrant powder nowadays. It costs ten taels of silver per box. It cannot be consumed by non-famous ladies. It is also commonly used by Aunt Cui. Ye Zhenzhen speculates that the Cui family has an extraordinary origin, and it seems that it is true.

"Mom, I'll leave some more, and I'll give it to you later."

"Mom is so old, so why don't you need to apply makeup?" Aunt Cui refused. "Zhener, you are in your prime, and it's the best time to dress up. You can keep it for yourself."

Aunt Cui’s love in her eyes is not like being fake. The reason why she refuses is not only because of considering Ye Zhenzhen, but also because she is worried about the inappropriate identity.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't advise her to do more skin care creams in the future and give them to Aunt Cui.

Although the original owner looks exactly the same as her, his appearance is different from heaven and earth. Because of years of hard work, his hands are rough and calloused, his skin is dark yellow and rough, and he has no femininity at all. Even if he applies makeup, he cannot save his appearance and still needs to be adjusted slowly.

With two boxes of powder, the troubles of silver were solved. Aunt Cui felt relieved. She felt that her health was recovering well, so she took the initiative to prepare the dry food needed for Zhen Ge'er for the exam. Ye Zhenzhen assisted from the side and it went smoothly.

Aunt Cui is kind and kind. Even if Ye Zhenzhen makes fragrant powder unreasonably, she will not have any doubts. However, Cui Weizhen is different. The exploratory eyes that have fallen on her in the past few days have not dissipated. She is uneasy and can't help but talk to him.

"Brother Zhen, do you have something to ask me?"

Cui Weizhen raised her head from the book and looked at Ye Zhenzhen standing in front of the book desk.

She looked very nervous, her feet stood side by side, her spine was straight, her face couldn't hide her uneasiness, and her hands were unconsciously tucked together, just like when she was punished by her master when she was a child, as if she was waiting for questioning or punishment from her parents.

There is a secret in her, which is inevitable.

But is it necessary to ask the bottom line?

Cui Weizhen's mind has all these things, and it seems that something has been gently touched by a tip of his heart. The doubt that has been brewing for a long time has changed between his lips and teeth. "Sorry, I've been rude these days. Since you don't want to let people know your secret, I shouldn't offend it."

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you, this is also a kind of respect for her.

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned. She actually had no reasonable explanation. After all, the original owner was just a farm girl who was so simple that she could not be simple. It was even harder to make her turn into a superwoman than climbing to the sky.

She even thought about the ridiculous excuses of the gods teaching Dharma in their dreams. She didn't expect that Cui Weizhen would give up asking. It was really rare for a suspicious and thoughtful person.

He is willing to draw a space in the realm of his absolute control to accommodate her variable.

If it were someone else, I would have been killed as a heresy. Now, she has been extraordinary these days, but isn't it a step-by-step test of Brother Zhen?

Fortunately, the result was as she wished.

Ye Zhenzhen slowly smiled, "Brother Zhen, you are so good. There is no better person in the world than you."

Cui Weizhen opened her eyes uncomfortably and muttered in a low voice, "You can talk sweet words."

"Brother Zhen, what did you say?"

"nothing."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't explore it either. After removing the psychological burden, she felt relaxed and smiled sweetly, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Brother Zhen, please come and read the books. I'm going out to work hard."

He jumped away like a rabbit.

The big hen in the yard clamored, and the girl's crisp and sweet voice rang out immediately, "Dahuang, don't call anymore, disturbing Brother Zhen'er's warm-up book, be careful I'll stew you!"

rhubarb.

A name that looks like a dog is the name given to the big hen by the new hostess.

Dahuang seemed to be frightened and immediately stopped showing off. The girl probably took out the egg from under the chicken and hummed an unknown song excitedly. The rhythm was bright and joyful. Even the powerful weather of the autumn tiger became fresh and pleasant.

Cui Weizhen was stunned for a while, until there was a rustling sound of sweeping the floor outside, and then suddenly came back to her senses and looked back at the poems and books in her hand.

But the senses and mood at this moment, combined with the ink fragrance between the lines, became unforgettable memories, like clear tea, with a lasting fragrance.
