After dressing as a widow

The lady's hand lingered on Lin Zhen's face for a while, and she said to the maid behind her, "Put a small table in front of him, serve a bowl of hot drinks, and bring some food that doesn't dirty your hands."

"Yes." The servant girl took the order to go to work.

The noble lady finally asked about the things he used for makeup: "The famous powder in Kyoto will send some to me every month. Why don't you see this kind of powder that you use? Is there any famous one?"

Lin Zhenxin moved his head slightly, and said in a calm manner: "Mrs. Hui, the powder and flower water used by the little one are made by my family's handicrafts, and they have not been sold in the market before."

"The young one has two small touch-ups with her, why don't you show them to Madam?"

Madam Shi Qiuling felt that the husband in front of her was really to her liking, talented, and could write "Mei Niang" which she also liked very much. Humming up, the most important thing is, how can she be so beautiful, there is nothing wrong with her eyebrows, nose, eyes and mouth.

Mrs. Shi said, "Let me see."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen took out the powder and flower water that he put in a small porcelain box that was two sizes smaller when he came out, and put it in his hand to show Mrs. Shi: "This powder is called Yu For face powder, the raw materials used are different, and the makeup effect is also different. For example, the original skin color of the small one is neither yellow nor red, so it can be slightly brightened, just like shining on the face, so that people can see it at a glance .”

"If the complexion is yellowish and red, you need to use other functional powders to correct the complexion."

"Because this powder needs to be mixed with toilet water before use, it is liquid and will fit the skin better, unlike some powders on the market that will disappear when the face is blown by the wind."

Mrs. Shi herself used rouge and gouache all the year round, and they were all the best. When Lin Zhen said this, she became interested, raised her eyebrows and said, "There are so many ways in it?"

Her own skin is fair, but there are some red blood streaks, which need to be covered with a thick layer of powder.

"Give me a try now, if it's good, I'll make my rouge and gouache here from now on."

At the moment, the people of Qianhong Opera Troupe are singing. Although everyone loves the play "Mei Niang", I have watched it many times, and some of them can even say the next part of the song verbatim. Naturally, it is not just the beginning. I watched it attentively at that moment.

They all noticed Lin Zhen when Mrs. Shi called her over, but they were a little surprised that Mrs. Shi let Lin Zhen sit next to her, and then saw that Lin Zhen didn't know what she had said to Mrs. Shi. Holding the hot handkerchief to clean her hands, then handed it to Lin Zhen.

And Lin Zhen gently held Mrs. Shi's hand, and couldn't help sighing, it was indeed the hand of the noble lady who was pampered and treated well since childhood, and there was really not a single bit of callus, and the skin of the whole hand was as soft and greasy as silk.

Lin Zhen put the powder and plum blossom dew on the small table brought by the maid, and pushed a few drops of plum blossom dew on the back of Mrs. Shi's hand: "This is dew, and it can be used on any part of the skin after cleansing in the morning and evening. , not only can moisturize the skin and reduce fine lines on the skin, but its own fragrance can also soothe the spirit."

"The powder I use is also mixed with floral dew." As he spoke, Lin Zhen picked out some white and light purple powder from the porcelain box, mixed it with floral dew, and then patted it on the back of Mrs. Shi's hand with his fingers. After applying the powder, use a cloth ball made of a piece of extremely fine flannelette, apply a thin layer of white powder, and press gently on the back of the hand that has just been wiped with liquid powder.

Good-looking people are also pleasing to the eye, Mrs. Shi waited for Lin Zhenyi to say that it was all right, and raised her hand slightly to look at it, only to see that the back of her white hand was now incredibly delicate, and it was very similar to the makeup on Lin Zhen's face , looks very natural, just like her original skin is like this.

She couldn't help but raise her other hand for comparison, and the effect was more obvious in comparison.

At first, Mrs. Shi only listened to Lin Zhen's beautiful face, but now she was aroused by the powder and toilet water he used: "Your family's craftsmanship is really good. , when you return to Kyoto, send some to the Shifu."

"By the way, besides powder and toilet water, is there anything else?"

Lin Zhen, who got the first business deal today, was quite happy, but he didn't show it in front of Mrs. Shi. He replied to Mrs. Shi, "I still have a tube of lipstick with me."

Mrs. Shi read the word "lipstick" and thought it was interesting, so she asked Lin Zhen to show it to her.

Naturally, Lin Zhen would not hide it. He took out the lipstick from his purse and showed Mrs. Shi how to use it.

I saw him take off the rounded cuboid porcelain cover, twirl his fingers twice on the wooden base below, and a solid red thing was unscrewed out of the tube.

Lin Zhen directly took the lipstick and spread some on his wrist. In an instant, the same light color as his lips appeared on his wrist.

"What a coincidence." No woman is resistant to beautiful rouge and gouache. Mrs. Shi took the lipstick from Lin Zhen and turned the wooden base a few times by herself, "I want this too, but this The color doesn't suit me, Fulang better make some other colors."

"Good lady."

After all, it was something Lin Zhen had used, so it was impossible for Shi Qiuling to greet him and return the tube of lipstick to him.

The noble ladies and ladies who paid a lot of attention to Lin Zhen because of Mrs. Shi's identity and Lin Zhen's appearance also saw the things that Mrs. Shi and Lin Zhen were playing with, and after a little thought, they realized that those things might be It is something used by Lin Zhen, who is very beautiful.

Thinking of Lin Zhen's appearance, many people were moved. After "Mei Niang" finished singing, while drinking tea and chatting, two noble girls walked up to Mrs. Shi, and said to Mrs. Shi innocently: "My aunt got something nice just now, why didn't she call us two young ones."

Mrs. Shi leaned back on the chair and looked at the two juniors with a smile on her lips: "I didn't call you, didn't you come too?"

Then he turned his head and said to Lin Zhen: "Later, you can send two more copies of what I want to the residence of the Minister of Industry and the residence of the Marquis of Yong'an."

These two noble girls Lin really had a good impression, but the two who had just praised themselves for being talented and indirectly helped him and the old class leader out of the siege couldn't help but smile a bit at the two noble girls.

The two noble girls are super friends of "Mei Niang", and they go to see this play every once in a while, and the two also got acquainted because they also like this play, and become close friends in the boudoir.

Seeing Lin Zhen smiling at them, the two looked at each other with the same thought.

Those who can write "Mei Niang" don't think otherwise!

Seeing that the two juniors liked Lin Zhen very much, Mrs. Shi said to them: "You two take him to the river for a walk, there is no need to sit here with us old bastards in a boring way." , Mrs. Shi yawned and leaned back in the chair.

Mrs. He, who was sitting next to her, had the full authority to host the Huaxin Banquet. Hearing Mrs. Shi say it was boring, she gritted her teeth and felt that Shi Qiuling was against her.

But she couldn't show much on the surface, and she said to the maid beside her gently, "Go and make some cool drinks for the ladies, so that they can relieve their fatigue."

The others looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they hadn't seen Mrs. Shi's clear disdain for Mrs. He, nor the uncontrollable fire in Mrs. He's eyes.

Many of them know what happened this morning. Mrs. He's daughter's horse was startled by the lantern, hurting many people, and even collided with Mrs. Shi's frame. Let Mrs. He and the daughter of the He family go, but the daughter of the He family almost cried in anger.

The two noble girls were usually close to Mrs. Shi. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right at the moment, they smiled and said that they really wanted to go outside for a walk. They didn't want to let down the beautiful scenery, so they asked the maid to call Shang Lin Zhen to go with them. up.

It was already noon now, and the entire Huashen Mountain was full of people having fun, and stalls set up by girls and brothers could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers, powder, powder and food.

The two noble girls walked to the river, and the servant girl following them spread a piece of silk cloth on the ground and put a soft cushion on the ground, and the two sat down gracefully.

The younger lady looked at Lin Zhen, "Are the things my aunt asked you to send to our house the ones you messed with just now?"

"Miss Hui, yes."

"We both looked at it for a while. Is it rouge and gouache? The same as the one you use now?" There are only two things that interest them about Lin Zhen. One is that he wrote "Mei Niang", and the other is It is his beauty that people can't forget at a glance.

There are so many noble ladies and noble daughters present, but a brother with a humble status can monopolize the limelight, and there are quite a few people who enjoy it.

The two couldn't help looking at his white face, which seemed to have an attractive charm, and couldn't wait to ask Lin Zhen to show them what he had just shown to Mrs. Shi.

Seeing that he was going to get two more customers, Lin Zhen was of course very happy. According to the process, he tried the powder and plum blossom dew for the two of them, and even designed it ingeniously, which is very different from the current lip gloss that needs to be dipped with fingers. Give them the lipstick to play with.

The two young girls were very lively, and they even discussed with Lin Zhen what color lipstick they wanted and what scent they liked.

After the performance of the Qianhong Opera Troupe, after receiving Madam He's award, they were about to leave from here, and Lin Zhen, the old friend of the troupe leader of the Qianhong Opera Troupe, naturally also had to leave.

When the old troupe leader was singing, he saw Lin Zhen sitting next to Mrs. Shi, who was about the same status as Mrs. He, sitting in the middle, and while waiting for the people under his hand to collect things, he said: "It seems that Boss Lin has gained something. , Congratulations."

Lin Zhen clasped his fists and said, "If the old class leader hadn't brought me here, I still can't figure it out. I should thank you."

The old class leader hurriedly said: "What is Boss Lin talking about, let's figure out what's going on today."

"Hey, this capital can make money, and there are a lot of things to worry about. Just like today, everyone will suffer if a word is wrong."

"In the future, if I can push this kind of business, I will try my best to push it. My little life is the most important thing."

Lin Zhen nodded, thinking that the old troupe leader's decision was right. In the eyes of those powerful people, the Qianhong troupe was just a fun thing for them, and there was no need to accidentally lose their lives for such a small amount of money.

Leaving the gathering place of the ladies and gentlemen, the old class leader and a few men who also disguised themselves as women did not dare to stay in crowded places, and planned to find a secluded place to stay in the chaos when the crowd dispersed.

Lin Zhen was also with them. Suddenly, when the group of them was walking to a place where there were not many people, the girls and boys in costumes exclaimed, not knowing what they were doing.

The role of Mei Niang in the Qianhong troupe looked puzzled at Lin Zhen, and said, "It's time to choose the flower owner. My lady and brother are casting flowers for the person I think is the most suitable flower owner."

"At the end of the counting of flowers, whoever gets the most flowers will be the flower owner of this year."

Before she finished speaking, the dense crowd not far from them cheered violently, and colorful flowers flew around.

As he talked, Jiao'er looked at Lin Zhen: "If Boss Lin goes, he will definitely overshadow the flower owners of previous years."

Lin Zhen shook his head: "I won't join in the fun, how about we go there?"

He pointed to a slightly gentler slope in front of him. Because the scenery was unremarkable, the big guy went to choose the flower owner again, and there were no people around.

The members of the Qianhong troupe nodded, and the group walked there.

After two full hours of selection, the flower owner was selected, and then the dressed-up flower owner led the girls and buddies to worship the flower god on the flower god mountain, and gave the blessed spring water to the people.

The excitement of the day came to an end. The girls and brothers who had a good time walked back with their family members or acquaintances, talking and laughing on the way back. The vendors who were almost sold out were also happy, carrying empty poles. Back to the city.

Lin Zhen was also saying goodbye to the old troupe master. He said, "For the new drama book, the troupe master will go to the left side of Huai Sifang in five or six days. There is a shop that sells flowers about 300 meters ahead and has not opened yet."

The excitement on the face of the old troupe master couldn't be suppressed. Back then, with "Mei Niang", his troupe became the hottest troupe at that time, and now it is eating the same money as it was then.

Now I got Lin Zhen's playbook again.

Lin Zhendao: "Since you have said that there is a new play in front of those noble ladies, then you can't break your promise, otherwise it will definitely be a troublesome thing to ask in the future."

"The old troupe master should prepare the money, this time the playbook is not as cheap as last time."

Business is business, favors are favors, Lin Zhen originally planned to give a gift to the old class leader, but that has nothing to do with the business between the two.

The old team leader smiled contentedly: "Boss Lin, don't worry, he will give you a satisfactory price."

"Then I'll leave first, see you another day." Lin Zhen clasped his fists to the members of the Qianhong troupe, joined the crowd, and soon disappeared.

The old troupe leader of the Qianhong troupe looked at Lin Zhen’s back, and said to the troupe behind him: “Our troupe is today thanks to Boss Lin’s "Mei Niang". The troupe is just around the corner."

Lin Zhen just appeared in the troupe, and the character who was still somewhat hostile to him said: "This Boss Lin... has such a good temperament..."

The old class leader nodded: "I've always had such an open-minded temperament before, and it hasn't changed after all these years."
