Ye Zhenzhen could only braid her hair before, but she learned how to comb her hair into a woman's bun under the guidance of Aunt Cui. She also inserted the silver hairpin conveniently. After all, when you come to the county town, you can't be too shabby.
She just looked around and didn't notice anything unusual about Cui Weizhen. It wasn't until he paused in his steps and suddenly stopped in front of a street stall that she realized and followed his gaze, "Brother Zhen, do you want to buy something?"
The jewelry on the stall is not exquisite, but it is simple and elegant. There are not only women's hairpins, bracelets, earrings and other items, but also men's hairpins, crowns and scarves. That's why she asked this question.
Cui Weizhen didn't answer her, his eyes scanned critically among the dazzling array of accessories, and finally landed on a palm-sized bronze mirror.
The stall owner observed his words and immediately said, "Mr. Lang has good eyesight. This is a bronze mirror I got from Fucheng. The back is engraved with a deer pattern. The copper surface is clear. It only costs 500 copper plates. It is genuine and can be used by both young and old."
Was he buying something for her?
The tip of Ye Zhenzhen's heart felt like it was lightly brushed by a feather, trembling and itching. Before she could be moved, she saw Brother Zhen paying for it without saying a word. She immediately became anxious, this young master, how can anyone buy anything?
No bargaining?
She quickly held down his hand, stepped forward to block it, showed a businesslike smile, and politely bargained with the stall owner, "Five hundred is too expensive, brother, can you give me two hundred and five?"
The secret to bargaining is to cut it in half and then take ten more off. This price is still merciful.
Cui Weizhen: "..."
Stall owner: "..."
The stall owner almost vomited blood and said, "Sister! You are a bandit robbing a bride. How can I get this price? I'll give you a discount of fifty at most."
"Let's reduce it by fifty."
"No, no, it's a small business. Even if you lose money, you won't be able to make back your capital."
"Then twenty!"
"... Even if I'm afraid of you, the deal is four hundred and thirty dollars."
The stall owner handed the bronze mirror to Cui Weizhen and said, "Lang Jun, your wife is really good at living."
Cui Weizhen glanced at Ye Zhenzhen and thought to himself, this bargaining ability almost shocked him. The knife was ruthless and ruthless, and he could kill the stall owner.
"You should keep the bronze mirror first, and I will replace it for you later when conditions permit." Not only the bronze mirror, but also the hairpin.
It was really inconvenient to dress up without a mirror. In addition, it was Brother Zhen's wish. Ye Zhenzhen did not refuse and happily stuffed the mirror into her purse and said with a smile, "It's just right for you to carry with you. It's perfect."
What does it mean to be small? This is the first gift that Brother Zhen gave her.
Cui Weizhen looked at the smile on her face, her eyes were softer than he had noticed.
I bought the paper and ink at a literary and art store. Since I was an old customer, the shopkeeper kindly gave me a discount, so the two coins were completely spent.
Next to the antique store was a cosmetics store, called Qunfangzhai, which must have a good reputation and a constant stream of customers. Ye Zhenzhen had some ideas in mind and wanted to investigate the market, so she walked in to take a look.
The types of cosmetics in ancient times are not as diverse as modern ones, and they are endless. There are only a few basic styles, one is face powder; the other is rouge for both lips and cheeks; the third is eyebrow makeup, and the rest are skin care bath beans and the like.
There are no other varieties besides this, it is really simple.
The craftsmanship of the fragrant powders at this time was not high, and most of them were made from rice flour or lead powder. The former is easy to clump, and the latter is poisonous, so women who love beauty still flock to it.
It seems that the cosmetics market has great potential.
In her previous life, Ye Zhenzhen was an expert at craftsmanship. She was very good at cooking and cosmetics. She had a lot of recipes in her mind. It would not be a problem to support her family and maybe even make a fortune.
Cui Weizhen saw her happily coming out of the powder shop, but her hands were empty and her eyes darkened, "Aren't you going to buy rouge and gouache?"
Ye Zhenzhen woke up from the dream of getting rich and saw something wrong with his face. She immediately realized that her daughter-in-law had no money to buy rouge and gouache, and Brother Zhen couldn't bear to lose face.
For some reason, this guess made her want to laugh. She even felt that the sulky Brother Zhen was a bit cute, and even the sharp and cold edges of his face softened.
Take away those false disguises and filters, and this is the flesh-and-blood, real and down-to-earth Brother Zhen.
She suppressed her smile, fearing that he would go in and buy something if he disagreed, so she quickly pulled him to the hospital, "No need to buy it, I don't have anything in mind, so I might as well make it myself."
Cui Weizhen didn't speak during the whole journey. Ye Zhenzhen didn't notice that she had been holding his hand until the hospital. She immediately let go of him embarrassedly and coughed lightly, "Who is my mother's attending doctor? Brother Zhen, go ahead.
Invite someone."
Cui Weizhen looked at her with a straight face and gave her an unclear look before going to the lobby to invite someone.
There were two doctors in the medical clinic. Among them, the white-bearded doctor named Sun was thought to be Aunt Cui's doctor in charge. He also recognized Cui Weizhen and agreed to visit her without saying a word.
Uncle Er De's oxcart was not there, so he had to walk back to Yejia Village. Only then did Ye Zhenzhen realize the fatigue of walking. Walking under the bright sun was even more tiring than the military training in her previous life.
Fortunately, she prepared dry food and water, stopped to eat and rest along the way, and worked hard again. After half an hour, she finally returned to Yejia Village.
"You are finally back. I still have things to do at home, so I will go back first."
Aunt Ye was entrusted to take care of Aunt Cui. When she saw them coming back, she said goodbye. Ye Zhenzhen quickly thanked her and sent her out before returning to the main room. At this time, Dr. Sun had already completed the diagnosis and started to grab medicine from the medicine box.
"Dr. Sun, how is my mother's illness?"
Dr. Sun had a kind look on his face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Cui's illness has improved greatly. After three more doses of medicine, she will be almost healed."
Ye Zhenzhen was overjoyed and asked, "Mother, medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements. Can I cook medicinal meals for my mother?"
"Oh, does the little lady know how to cook medicinal foods?"
Dr. Sun raised his head and looked at her in surprise, "My prescription is very mild, so there is no need to worry about conflicting effects. Madam, just cook some medicinal foods that can soothe the liver and relieve depression. It will be a two-pronged approach. That would be great."
There are many ingredients that can soothe the liver and relieve depression, so it is not difficult.
Dr. Sun grabbed the medicine and before leaving, he comforted Aunt Cui, "Just relax and take good care of yourself. In my opinion, your newly married daughter-in-law is blessed and her life will get better. Don't think too much about it."
Consider it."
Isn't it? Aunt Cui was seriously ill and Shen Ke gradually got better after Ye Zhenzhen came in. What is this if not a blessing?
Aunt Cui was convinced of this and no longer blamed the young couple for hiring a doctor without telling her. Instead, she regained confidence in her body. With the help of herbal soup and herbal diet, her health gradually improved.
When the golden autumn arrives in August, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard begins to bloom, and she can get out of bed and move about alone without the help of a wheelchair.
The college examination is scheduled for August 6th, and there are only four days until the exam starts.
