Skin care net red in ancient times

01.

Muyao bought a shop first. The shop was originally a teahouse, and there was a ventilated cellar underneath for tea storage. Muyao was quite satisfied with this.

Then Sikong Zaixing told her that she had to go to the government to file.When filing the record, you still need to report your identity. Mu Yao thought for a while and said, "Can I say that I am the daughter of a down-and-out official?"

"Aren't you?" Sikong Zhaixing froze for a moment.

"Well...well, it's a job in the government." Mu Yao said, her father was a firefighter.

Sikong Zhaixing was very smart and didn't continue to ask: "Generally, the investigation is not very strict. You can mention your life experience to the county magistrate, and then read a few poems to reveal your identity. You can read poems, right? Or Shall I teach you a few words?"

"Would it be embarrassing to read a poem suddenly?" Mu Yao asked.

"Embarrassed? Reciting poems is done by educated people, so it won't be embarrassing." Sikong Zaixing said.

"Okay." Mu Yao said.

So Sikong Zhaixing accompanied her to the yamen. The Jin dynasty had always attached great importance to commerce and had a lot of policies towards merchants. Fortunately, compared with other dynasties, the business tax of Dajin was not very heavy.

The county magistrate is the deputy of the county magistrate, the eighth-rank official, and assists the county magistrate together with the master.The county magistrate is divided into various matters such as taxation and household registration, as well as matters related to shops.

Because Sikong Zhaixing had said it beforehand, Muyao didn't feel much nervous after meeting the county magistrate. She promised that she would be a good businessman who kept her own law and would obediently pay taxes.Then the county magistrate really asked about her personal situation.Mu Yao cleared her throat, and said with emotion like a primary school student reading a text: "The beauty rolls up the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns." After reading a few sentences, she wanted to cry in embarrassment, covered her face with her sleeve, and continued tremblingly : "But seeing the wet tears, I don't know who I'm thinking about."

Directly calling herself a "beauty" really embarrassed her to the point of digging out three rooms and one living room with her toes.

She sneaked a look at the county magistrate from the top of her sleeve, and found that the magistrate had a solemn expression: "It turns out that the girl has a scholarly family, so I'm being disrespectful."

...Oh my god it actually works.

"Now I'm just a grassroots." She continued trembling, "There is no one else in the family, and I want to open a rouge and gouache shop to barely make ends meet, and I hope the adults will take care of me."

The county magistrate readily agreed.

Mu Yao 囧囧 walked out of the county office with spirit, so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a long time.Hmm... She has to get used to it, get used to it.

Next, I started to decorate the storefront and purchase tools. Mu Yao ran around but didn't get what he needed.She bought rice paper, drew sketches of the required utensils on it with a brush, and after consulting Sikong Zhaixing, she marked the size on it in detail.Then she ran to the folk kiln and handed over the required utensils to the master craftsman in the kiln.

Mu Yao felt that a set of crystal utensils should be made, so she told Sikong Zhaixing, and Sikong Zhaixing told her that if she wanted crystal utensils, she had to go to big cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinling.

She had no choice but to put this plan on hold for the time being, and planned to gain a firm foothold here first.

Baihua is the largest county in this area. There are many flowers, herbs and medicines in Baihua Mountain, and there are many beekeepers at the foot of the mountain, so they can get relatively cheap honey.Although it cannot be compared with big cities such as Luoyang and Jinling, it has all internal organs.There is no problem with Muyao's plan. Here, he will gradually adapt to the world and get the first pot of gold at the same time, and then see if he will develop in a big city.Those big cities mean more competition, and this is a martial arts world, so it also means more dangers, these are things that Mu Yao needs to consider.

Muyao's work was neat and methodical, and it only took two days to arrange these arrangements neatly, and then waited for the craftsmen to deliver the needed things.

Sikong Zhaixing was amazed by her super mobility.

On this day, the morning breeze was refreshing, and the weeping willows on the embankment were rubbed so that the goose yellow was about to come out, and the green waves on the water surface were rippling, and the scenery was just right.

Mu Yao and Sikong Zaixing left the city all the way to the foot of Baihua Mountain, and began to look for suitable herbs and flowers.

Baihua Mountain was originally famous for its Baihua, and later there was a Baihua sect with a lot of female disciples. This "Hundred Flowers" has a double meaning.

Mu Yao stared at the ground. There were many wild flowers she didn't know, but she was not discouraged and continued to search.After turning around a pile of rocks, her eyes lit up.There is a large clump of herbaceous plants more than one meter high, and the blue-purple sessile flowers are gently swaying in the wind. At first glance, it looks a bit like lavender, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many differences between the two.

"It's verbena!"

Muyao is very familiar with this kind of flower and plant. Verbena is a well-known raw material in natural skin care, but some people often confuse it with verbenone rosemary, which are actually two kinds of plants.Verbena has both ornamental value and medicinal value. There are many records in "Compendium of Materia Medica".

If verbena is made into pure dew, it can reduce skin acne, repair, calm and moisturize the skin, and it can also be used to care for hair.

In addition to skin care and beauty, Mu Yao will also make some verbena delicacies... Suck.

Mu Yao put on a muff (the ancient name for gloves), and then started to pull the verbena. Sikong Zhaoxing also stepped forward to help. The two moved quickly, talking and laughing while working, and quickly picked enough verbena.Seeing the sun gradually rising, Mu Yao hurried back, fearing that he would get sunburned.Mu Yao decided that she would not walk around in the sun until the sunscreen was made.

On the way back to the shop, I bought some Changchu, that is, kiwi fruit, from the hawker, and I went to buy some honey.

02.

Sikong Zhaixing originally planned to leave, he was a man who came and went like the wind, and rarely stayed in one place for too long.But the skin care that Mu Yao talked about aroused his interest again, so he stayed for a while longer.

Mu Yao thought that in ancient times, men sometimes paid more attention to their appearance than women.

For example, "Hanshu" records: "When Xiaohui was filial, all the servants were crowned, with shell belts, and applied (applied) powder." At that time, civil servants seemed to be wearing makeup and powder, and it was even more powerful in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. You have to make up when you go out, and they also have popular skin care cosmetics, rouge, incense...the list goes on.In addition, there is also the famous drug Wushisan. One of the reasons why many celebrities eat it is for beauty, to make themselves look better and more temperamental.

After listening to Mu Yao's words, Sikong Zhaixing laughed: "I'm curious whether the cosmetics you mentioned can improve my disguise. I'm the third most handsome man in the world. If I pay more attention to appearance, it will be too unfair to other men. gone."

Mu Yao thought that was the case, and then she was a little curious: "I thought you would call yourself the most handsome man in the world because of your narcissism. What about the top two?"

Sikong Zhaixing stroked the mustache on his chin and said—he changed his appearance every day these few days, making Mu Yao almost face-blind: "The number one is of course Jiang Feng, who is recognized as the most beautiful man in the world."

Jiang Feng, Hua Wuque's father.Mu Yao thought to herself that this is still a world of comprehensive martial arts, then she nodded: "That's true."

"Tied for second place, Ximen Chuixue and Huamanlou." Sikong Zaixing said, "Their temperaments are very different, in my opinion they are on par, although I prefer Huamanlou..."

"This is indeed more handsome than you." Mu Yao said.

"I tied for third place with Bandit Commander Chu Liuxiang." Sikong Zaixing said.

Mu Yao teased: "It seems that everyone thinks that Chu Liuxiang is more handsome than you."

Sikong Zhaixing stared: "They are also great robbers, I am tied with him! Tied!"

"Alright, let's make a parallel." Mu Yao said with a smile.

"Then Lu Xiaoji is pretty handsome too, and he's about to catch up with this Bandit Immortal. Oh yes, Chu Liuxiang is called Bandit Commander. I'm a Bandit Immortal. Immortals are better than handsome. I'm juxtaposing him with me to praise him and cherish him. That's why." Sikong Zhaixing said.

Mu Yao suppressed a smile: "Okay, I see. You are the third most handsome in the world."
