30. Beauty and middle-class talents

Due to the change in Mrs. He's attitude, this New Year was particularly happy.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, He Zijin raised his glass and said a lot of auspicious toasts. Old Madam He couldn’t close her mouth and said straight, “I really wiped honey on my mouth, why can I say this?”

He Zijin was sweet-mouthed, "I'm like a grandmother." He made Mrs. He laugh again.

After a long string of auspicious words were finished, the family raised their glasses and He Zijin was allowed to drink a small glass of fruit wine. He said, "Let's change the sweet soup for the girl. It's better not to touch the wine." She still remembered that He Zijin grabbed Zhou and grabbed a wine glass, for fear that He Zijin would not be able to marry into a drunkard in the future, and that he would be very worried when he was left at home.

He Zijin didn't know that Mrs. He was already worried about her marriage. She was wondering when she would make money and brew some wine at home. These days, self-sufficiency is important, and rich families will make wine at home. Her uncle can make local wine. Although he can't compare with the wine sold in the wine shop, he still has a bit of wine. He Zijin doesn't want to make local wine, she wants to make some fruit wine to eat, which is both beautiful and beautiful, and is also good to drink.

Speaking of beauty and beauty, after the Chinese New Year, He Zijin reminded her mother and asked her mother to buy some better rouge powder to use. Shen's young man, and he didn't use rouge powder a few years ago, and his eyes were picturesque and beautiful. The key is that in the past, in small places, there were few people using rouge powder in the village, and Shen's family was not very good at using it. Later, when they married into Bishui County, Shen became a city man and bought some, but it was still not very useful. Now in the past two years, He Zijin said, "These rouge powder can only be used for a few faces. Mom, you should buy some pearl powder or something."

Shen laughed and scolded, "What a small prodigal, pearl powder? Do you know how much pearl powder costs?"

He Zijin said, "Actually, many things can be used. Applying tofu to your face can turn white. The skin is better than using rouge." In fact, she wanted to put cucumber slices on it, but now it's just spring, where can cucumbers come from? Moreover, the conditions at home are too expensive and cannot be used, so He Zijin chose the most down-to-earth one.

Shen didn't believe in his daughter's words at all, "Nothing is said, tofu is eaten, how can it apply to the face?"

"If you can eat tofu, you can apply your face. Can rouge be eaten? The rouge you bought is not good rouge, and the more you use it, the uglier it will be." Because He Zijin said that her mother was ugly, he was blinking his fingers.

He Zijin ignored her mother. She thought about taking care of herself, so she asked her mother to buy tofu every day to apply to her face. Her mother was crazy. Her daughter's tender skin could produce water with one pinch. She didn't know how much she applied it. She even ruined half a piece of tofu and a spoonful of honey every day. In order not to waste things, Shen also started to apply it half-belly and half-doubled half-dozen.

He Zijin is very good at flattering, and every day he will sincerely say to her mother, "Mom, I think your face is so tender!"

When he was washing his hair, He Zijin urged her mother to use eggs to maintain her hair. This is based on He's investigation. The maids in Dream of Red Mansions use this. To be honest, the current life of the He family may not be as good as that of the maids in the Jia family.

The tofu was applied to his face, and Shen felt that it was not bad for egg hair care. Of course, he had to do it secretly. If Mrs. He knew about it, he would not have to call the mother and daughter a prodigal.

He is young, and as long as he has a little beauty awareness, the effect is still very obvious. Moreover, there is a subtle feeling between husband and wife that cannot be treated with outsiders. He thinks he is not an ugly person, but now it seems that necessary maintenance is still necessary.

With the awareness of maintenance, He not only cares about face maintenance, but also carefully dressed up. He also bought a box of moisturizer for He Zijin. This is the best moisturizer in the Yanzhi Shop in Bishui County. It is said that it is mixed with pearl powder, which costs 200 yuan per box. One box can only be used for one month, and it will be broken if it expires.

He Zijin was very moved, and later she found out that her mother bargained for two boxes of 300 yuan and bought them with her...

He himself also wants to use it, and his daughter is by the way. It’s not that He doesn’t love his daughter. The daughter is really tender now, so it’s nothing if you don’t need a body cream. But since you have 300 yuan and two boxes, just give your daughter one box, and give her one box. It’s not a bad thing to make her daughter have a sense of beauty since childhood.

The mother and daughter rushed towards the beauty avenue. He Gong had good luck this year. After the scholar's trial, he was on the list. Although he was only average, he was also a serious scholar's husband.

Old Madam He almost fainted and ordered her son repeatedly, "First, go and burn incense for your father. Tell your father, you are a scholar! Our old He family has become a scholar!" The last sentence became sharp and loud.

After years of hard work, He Gong was happy, and smiled, "Yes."

Shen smiled with a pursed lips, "The firecrackers have been prepared for a long time. Let's hang them in front of our door to add some joy."

When Mrs. He saw that Shen was so pleasing to the eye, she smiled and said, "This is well prepared."

Shen prepared the book secretly. Her husband had been defeated for several years. If he asked her husband to know that he had bought firecrackers in advance, he would inevitably be very thoughtful. He simply prepared the book secretly. If he got it, he would take it out and put it out. If he couldn't win, he would put it aside for the year and would not be ruined.

He Gong went to burn incense to his ancestors. Shen ordered people to set off firecrackers, and then discussed with He's mother to report the good news to his relatives and friends. He was in a good mood and suddenly remembered Shen Su and asked, "Didn't my uncle also get a scholar, have you passed?"

Shen laughed, "Asu has never been dedicated to her public studies."

Mrs. He said, "How old is my uncle younger? There is no need to worry about this. Most of the fame is God's will. If God's will comes, you will naturally win."

It was rare for the mother-in-law to say such a pleasant thing. Shen smiled, "You are saying it."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed whether to serve wine or celebrate, as well as gifts to the husband, even in the genealogy, He Gong had to add something extra if he had made a fame.

Old Madam He said to Shen again and again, "You will be more blessed than me in the future."

Shen laughed, "The husband has fame and fortune, which is a blessing for our family."

"Yes, yes." Old Madam He's face kept smiling, her eyes were particularly bright, and her voice was very bright, "Tomorrow, we will be alone in silk clothes!" Although we can wear silk with money now, we are not as confident as we are now. My son is a scholar-in-law! When others see her, they will be polite to call her Lao Anren.

Shen naturally won’t discourage her mother-in-law’s interest.

After a moment, Aunt Chen brought her youngest son over and smiled when she entered the door, "I had already ordered someone to inquire about the scholar list. I knew that Ah Gong had passed the exam. I couldn't sit still for a moment! Sister, you are the hero of our He family!" There was no scholar in the entire He family. He Gong, a scholar, was at least a success in the family. From the He Gong theory, He Gong was also the first to make a fortune. Therefore, Aunt Chen said that He was a hero of the He family, because He Mother He raised a scholar son!

It was the first time that He Zijin realized that in this era, it was already a great thing to pass the scholarship exam!

Needless to mention the excitement of the He family, the patriarch came here in person to express his appreciation for He Gong. The patriarch thought that He Gong had become a scholar in his early twenties. If he had to survive for another twenty years, he could become a juren. The He family's status in Bishui County was suddenly different. The patriarch also specially brought his grandson He Luo over and asked He Gong to have time to guide He Luo's homework.

He Gong responded with a lot of laughter and tears. He Luo visited Uncle Gongwu, whom he often met, and went to play with He Zijin.

The He family held a day of wine to celebrate. On the second day, Chen Su also came, so naturally congratulated He Gong. Chen Su is a person with a broad heart, and it will not be a day since he failed the exam. His brother-in-law has a promising future, and Chen Su is happy for his sister, and finally made it through with the He family.

However, Chen Su was also infected and went home and said to his wife, "Sister, Zijin is wearing silk. Don't worry, I must study hard this year, and I will ask you and your children to wear silk next year."

Jiang's delivery period was right in front of her. She habitually placed her hand in front of her abdomen and comforted her husband softly, "You have this heart, I'm happy whether I wear silk or not."

Chen Su said, "If you have this heart, you have to be able to accomplish this."

Soon, Chen Su's loss of failure was dispelled by the birth of the eldest son. In fact, the first child is the same regardless of his children. Of course, the son's words are better.

Chen Su drove to the He family to report the good news the next day. Shen was so happy that even Mrs. He was happy about his son's scholar. When she heard that Chen Su had his son, she smiled and said, "I'm so happy, I'll take three o'clock tomorrow?"

Chen Su smiled, "Yes. I just don't know if my brother-in-law is free? If you have time, the past lively day will be a blessing for my boy." He knew that Mrs. He was tricky, so he asked in person to avoid making things difficult for his sister.

"If there is no place, I have to join in the fun even if I don't have time." My son is a scholar. Not only is he easy to talk to, but she also has the intention of showing off her face. My mother He smiled, "If my uncle doesn't bother, I will follow him to enjoy the joy tomorrow."

Chen Su hurriedly said, "You call me my name. If you are willing to go, I will not ask for it."

Mrs. He laughed, "This is a matter of course." He asked the child when he was born, and he could have a name or something. At noon, he took a lot of money to let the kitchen buy good dishes. He said to He Gong, "Asu must go home today. We are not outsiders, so we don't have to leave him alone. You can have a meal with him, but the wine is not available, otherwise he will not be at ease when driving along the way." He also ordered Shen, "Now, let Mrs. Zhou make pancakes, afraid that it will be too late, so he will buy some outside, and then add some sauce meat, and bring it to Asu on the way."

Shen really felt that the sun was coming out from the west. His mother-in-law opened her eyes so much. Shen naturally smiled. Chen Su said it was just a waste of money, and Old Madam He smiled, "The things that are common in the house are not worth mentioning. The road is long, so I can rest assured if you take them with me."

Chen Su smiled and thanked. His sister has been married to the He family for five years. When Old Madam He was treated so close to him, she thought to herself that the old lady was abnormal and could not believe it if she had not seen it with her own eyes.

Chen Su is a delicate figure. Even if he is suspicious, he will not show anything on his face. However, Mother He is treating him close to him, and he is much more respectful to Mother He. When He Zijin picked someone out, he muttered in her uncle's ear, "Since my father became a scholar, my grandmother has been like this. I have bought me a fruit for five days."

No wonder.

Chen Su couldn't help but feel happy, and pulled her niece's horns and braids, thinking that it would be better to let your wife have a daughter next time.

Tomorrow, I will go to Changshui Village to participate in the three-legged rituals of Chen Su's eldest son. When Chen Su said goodbye, Old Lady He called Shen to ask what he had prepared. Shen said, "I made a silver lock and two small clothes I had taken time to make." In the countryside, the three-legged rituals were like Shen, and he would give such a generous gift if he had to have a close relative.

When Mrs. He thought of his son's status now, he said in a rare way, "It's a bit thinner. I have the longan and red dates given to me by your aunt before. This thing will be nourishing after eating it for the mother. Let's take it with you."

Shen said hurriedly, "That's what my aunt gave to my mother, let's eat it."

Old lady He rolled her eyes and glared at He Zijin, "I'm going to have all the greedy girl's stomach." What kind of food is there? The debt collector girl knows more than her. He lied to He Zijin several times and said that he had eaten up all the food or hidden it in a place, which made me feel embarrassed. So much so that I gave up on myself now, and the delicious food is not locked, so I can eat it with He Zijin!

Shen thought to himself, no wonder his daughter doesn't make a fuss to buy snacks for her now... Thinking of her daughter's difficulty, Shen apologized, "My mother spoiled Zijin. No matter how naughty she is, you tell me, I will teach her a lesson." Although she is not in harmony with her mother-in-law, she is not a child's temper.

How could Mrs. He not be able to accept Shen's affection at all. She rolled her eyelids and taught Shen, "We are the scholar's family, how can we be like those savage families? What do you know about children's family? It's just a greedy person. It's not like you can't afford to eat something." He said to He Zijin, "Go grab another handful and eat it, and take the rest to your grandmother tomorrow."
