After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

In order to repay Gu Nanxi, Bi Sheng poached all his old masters from the bookstore in Hangzhou.

The preparations for the printing factory went very smoothly. All the technical staff were on duty, except for hiring people for some manual jobs.

Su Xuanming and Su Yunyan agreed that since their academy was called Baichuan Academy and the restaurant was called Baiwei Restaurant, the factory should also be called Baihua Printing Factory!

One reason was that he hoped that the books published by the printing house would flourish like a hundred flowers, and the other was that there were rumors that this movable type printing technology was taught to Bi Sheng by Lu Ban and was specially given to the wife of Marquis Yongchang.

Su Yunyan originally wanted to name it Baishen Printing Factory, but was rejected by Su Xuanming because the name was too big and would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

After discussion, both sides decided that Baihua would be more suitable and use flowers to represent gods.

During the preparation period of Baihua Printing Factory, there were people who were jealous.

For example, the book bureau in charge of printing in the Zhou Dynasty wanted to obtain movable type printing technology to reduce its costs, so it went to the palace to persuade the young emperor.

Who would have thought that the young emperor replied: "That is a gift from the gods to the wife of Marquis Yongchang. If you want to take it for free, go and negotiate on your own. Anyway, I will not go."

The bookstore had to give up the idea of ​​getting it for free and thought about waiting until after the wife of Marquis Yongchang's birthday before going out to discuss cooperation with her.

Inside the Fuquan Teahouse, tea drinkers were having heated discussions.

A man dressed as a peddler took out a bowl with a hole in it from his bag and said, "This is a sacred bowl passed down from my ancestors..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Da, who was passing by, spat at him: "You clearly dug this bowl out of the mud, and you still want to use it to deceive the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang?! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"That's right! You've been blinded by money! You can even do something like this! How shameful!"

"This guy even sold the defective products discarded by the Textile Bureau to his good brother at a high price last time, and he almost bankrupted him!"

The crowd's curses made the small vendor feel ashamed and he covered his face and walked away.

Even after the small vendor was scolded and driven away, the others were still feeling uneasy.

Bi Sheng’s experience is so legendary, who wouldn’t want to soar to the sky like him?

But after all, no one had the courage like him to knock on the door of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. They just wanted to observe for a while.

Just at this moment, an excited and anxious voice came from outside the door: "Go and see what's going on, someone else is going to give a gift!"

No one was in the mood to chat anymore. They dropped their coins and ran towards the gate of Yongcheng Marquis' Mansion. If they ran too slowly, they would not be able to squeeze in.

At the gate of Yongchang Marquis’ Mansion, there stood a woman who was over twenty years old, with an enchanting figure, skin as white as snow, delicate facial features, and a pair of slender phoenix eyes, revealing her feminine charm in every glance.

Someone recognized the woman and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the beautiful lady from Dongjia Lane?"

"Is that the beautiful lady who returned to her parents' home after the divorce?"

"It's her!"

This beautiful mother is also a legendary figure. Her father is a gardener, her mother runs a tofu stall, and she has four older sisters and a younger brother.

Her mother was known as the Tofu Beauty when she was young. Her sisters and brother all inherited her beauty and were one of the best-looking people in Dongjia Lane.

But this beautiful girl is dark and thin, as if she was adopted, and she did not inherit her mother's beauty at all.

She decided to get married early. Her husband's family thought that girls would change a lot as they grow up and that Meiyan Niang would become more and more beautiful. However, they didn't expect that Meiyan Niang was still the same at the age of 20. Her husband couldn't stand it anymore and divorced her.

After returning to her parents' home, Meiyan Niang stayed there for two whole years.

When he went out again, he seemed like a different person. He was more beautiful than his mother and even more beautiful than her four sisters!

Meiyan Niang was used to the eyes falling on her and didn't take everyone's stares at all to heart. Her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Marquis' Mansion until the door slowly opened and a fairy-like figure slowly walked out.

Meiyan Niang knelt down and saluted, saying tenderly: "Meiyan Liang congratulates Madam Hou, and wishes Madam Hou eternal youth and everlasting beauty!"

When Gu Nanxi saw that the person who came to celebrate the birthday was a great beauty, he became even more delighted and hurriedly asked Meiyan Niang to get up.

Meiyan Niang was also a straightforward person. She went straight to the point and handed over the birthday gift she had prepared.

When Gu Nanxi opened it, she found it was a complete set of cosmetics!

Meiyan Niang explained softly, "Nowadays ladies like to use lead powder, but I think the color of lead powder is too pale, so I developed this Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder."

The beauty lady was not at all secretive and told everyone the whole recipe of the Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder.

"Ten ounces of motherwort ash are added with two ounces of gypsum, two ounces of talc, two ounces of clam powder, one ounce of rouge, and musk deer shells. The musk deer shells are not ground and mixed into the powder, but are stored in a jar with the powder to obtain its fragrance."

This jade-like peach blossom powder has a slightly pink tint because of the addition of rouge.

Lumei dipped a little bit of the powder with her fingertips and applied it on the back of her hand. She found that the powder was slightly reddish. After applying it, it looked like peach blossoms and made her look more complexion-enhancing than the bland lead powder.

The beauty lady was obviously very satisfied with the powder: "Use this powder regularly to remove blackheads and freckles, and make your skin radiant and tender like peach blossoms. Of course, with Madam Hou's appearance, you don't need these at the moment."

Gu Nanxi touched her smooth face and thought that women should take care of themselves early. This body is gifted by nature, but it can't withstand all kinds of torture!

The reason why she often didn't apply powder in the past was that lead powder was bad for her health.

But this Jade Face Peach Blossom Powder has some cosmeceutical properties and will not cause any damage to the skin, so it can naturally be used for a long time!

The beauty lady was still introducing the other items in the package to Gu Nanxi: "This is an eyebrow pencil and pollen."

Nowadays, women often use a blue-black pigment called Dai when making up.

Meiyan Niang’s eyebrow pencil does not use black, but ink. Compared with black, ink has stronger dyeing ability and is firm and long-lasting.

As for pollen, it is made by adding the juice of flowers such as roses and jasmine.

Lead powder has always been used as face powder, but this time, Meiyan Niang also used other powders instead of lead powder.

The beauty lady was afraid that Gu Nanxi had high standards and would look down on her cosmetics package, so she used her own experience to explain: "I used to be an ordinary person with a plain appearance. I suffered a lot and worked hard to cultivate my skills. Only then did I get to where I am today!"

The beautiful lady cast her eyes towards Lumei, her tone full of temptation: "Miss Lumei, are you willing to give it a try?"

Lumei looked at the beautiful girl. When she first saw her, she was shocked by her beauty. But when she took a closer look, she could still see traces of makeup on her face, which made her feel moved.

"Please trouble the beauty lady!"

Meiyanniang took Lumei to the gatehouse, blocking everyone's sight. After some tinkering, Lumei came out of the gatehouse and shocked everyone!

She’s wearing the same outfit and has the same facial features, but she’s become several levels more beautiful!

This magical skill made everyone gasp: "This is the goddess of flowers coming down to earth to celebrate the birthday!"
