Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Mingrou and Zhong Tiantian tinker with things related to mouth fat every day, and Zhong Tiantian has to go to the fields to work with his parents on weekdays. Mingrou has nothing to do for the time being, so he moves some of the things home. Tinkering around the house.

In order to make the rouge more perfect, Zhong Tiantian also took out the pocket money he had saved for so many years to go to the street to buy several different rouges for comparison, and asked people to inquire about them, and found that many merchants were In the process of making mouth fat, animal fats such as butter and beef marrow are also added.

Atao naturally responded to their needs, and tried to get some for them to prepare. After more than a month, the two little girls actually made the lip balm with excellent color, moisturizing enough and easy to preserve. The two little sisters Couldn't be happier.

Seeing the fruits of the lip fat, Ming Rou began to germinate the thoughts that had been lingering in her heart, but she just looked at the poor and poor family now, and secretly thought about other plans in her heart.

Ye Qiuniang is still busy with family and business affairs every day, sometimes she comes back early, sometimes she comes back late, Mingrou sees her exhausted when she comes back, her heart is very distressed, and she wishes to bear it for her.

This morning, Ming Rou woke up as usual, when she heard the sound of fetching water as soon as she got out of the yard, she looked up and saw that it was Ye Qiuniang.

"Jiujiu, don't you need to go to Zhuangzi today?"

"Today, the steward will give everyone a day off."

"Really?" Mingrou looked at her with bright eyes, "Then Jiujiu can stay with me all day."

Ye Qiuniang smiled: "It's good to be with you, but you can't be idle. Today I'm going to open up a small piece of land to grow vegetables. I've almost picked all the wild vegetables on the roadside. If you don't plant them, there will be no vegetables to eat."

"As long as you're with Jiujiu, you can do anything, and I can help you grow vegetables."

"Okay, let's grow vegetables together today." Ye Qiuniang said, scrubbing the clothes in her hands quickly, and then said to her, "Go and drink the porridge after washing."

It was rare for Mingrou to meet Ye Qiuniang at home with her one day, so she fetched water, rinsed her mouth and washed her face, scooped up the porridge and moved a small bench to sit beside her and watch Ye Qiuniang wash clothes.

"Jiujiu, are the clothes I washed earlier dry?"

Ye Qiuniang paused when she heard the words, blinked her eyes lightly and did not speak.

Seeing her reaction like this, Ming Rou raised her mouth high.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiuniang thought of teasing her.

"Rourou's laundry is of course clean, even cleaner than mine."

Seeing that she finally changed her name to Rou Rou in private, Ming Rou felt happy in her heart, and immediately forgot about the dirty laundry, she put down the bowl, stood up and hugged Ye Qiuniang's shoulder from behind , rubbing her face against the top of her hair and said a little awkwardly: "It's not Rourou, it's Rouer."

Ye Qiuniang's hand rubbing her clothes stopped at the moment when the girl's warm and tender body was pressed against her back, and then she heard her warm and playful voice ringing in her ears, coquettishly letting herself call her Rou'er, her heart was out of control The ground trembled suddenly, and after a brief pause, he continued the movement of his hand without changing his expression.

"Jiujiu, what's your name?"

"Miss, stop making trouble, come down quickly, I'm going to fetch water."

Although Mingrou was unhappy, she didn't dare to quarrel with Ye Qiuniang, she got off her back reluctantly, and was so angry that she didn't want to talk to anyone.

It wasn't until after drying the clothes and eating breakfast that Ye Qiuniang walked to the field in front of the house with a hoe on her shoulders, Mingrou then calmed down a little, and followed behind.

When they got to the field, Ye Qiuniang started hoeing. Mingrou didn't know what to do, so she pouted and asked, "Jiujiu, what should I do?"

"Otherwise you're watching from the sidelines?"

"No, I have to work too."

"Then pull the weeds," Ye Qiuniang ordered.

Mingrou found that she couldn't do anything else, but pulling weeds was something she could do with her hands, so she readily agreed, squatting on the ground and pulling it out.

It's a pity that her hands were still too delicate, and after pulling them out for a while, several bloodstains appeared on the palms, which made Ye Qiuniang's heart ache so much that she hurriedly told her to stop.

At this moment, there was a noise coming from afar. When I looked up, I saw a few people coming towards my house from afar. Ming Rou was pulling weeds happily, and she was not curious about these people, so she kept her head down. The head continues to do its own thing.

But she didn't expect that one of the few people who came would shout at her from a long distance: "Rourou—Rourou—"

Ming Rou heard the voice sound familiar, so she raised her head and squinted her eyes, never expecting that it was Xu Qionghua who found this place.

Looking at the distant figure of the other party, Mingrou felt mixed feelings. When she went to Xu's house that day, she was told that she and her parents were going to her grandparents' house. Mingrou didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she was unwilling to speculate with evil intentions. My best playmate when I was young.

Especially after coming to Tongzhuang, with Atao and Tiantian playing with him, the resentment towards Xu Qionghua has gradually faded, but the friendship of the past ten years has been broken at any time, and I still feel quite uncomfortable in my heart.

But he didn't expect her to come to the door.

The question is, how did she know that she was in Tongzhuang?

Although there were many doubts in her heart, seeing that Xu Qionghua could find her, Mingrou's heart was a little twitched for a moment, and she stood still and watched the other's playful figure getting closer and closer.

"Rourou, why didn't you send me a message when you came here? You don't know how much effort it took me to know that you live here now." Xu Qionghua squeezed her little arm with some resentment in her heart.

Ming Rou didn't know what the other party meant in his heart, she was a little dazed for a while, and then said after a while: "What are you here for?"

Seeing her expressionless face, Xu Qionghua already had some resentment in his heart, but now hearing her question, he suddenly felt wronged.

"Rourou, how can you question me like this? I went to your house to look for you after I came back from my grandfather's house, but your new housekeeper said that you were kicked out by your father and you didn't know where to go. I searched all over and found no one."

"Then how did you find it here?"

Ming Rou's voice seemed a little calm, which was quite different from the previous situation where the two of them would chatter when they met. This made Xu Qionghua's originally excited mood suddenly feel as if a bucket of cold water had been broken.

"If I can't find you, I'll ask your father directly. Anyway, I'm also the second young lady of the Xu family. No matter what, your father should show some face."

"Then, it was Du Xian who told you that I was here, how could he know that I was here?" Ming Rou was very angry when she thought that her track was being controlled by that person.

"No, you... Cough Du Xian, he said he didn't know. I went there for the second time and couldn't find any information. After I came back, I heard that your mother didn't come out with you. I didn't give up and went again, hoping to see your mother." While asking her about the specific situation, those people in your family would never let me enter the backyard."

"What? My mother was put under house arrest by that dude?"

As soon as Ming Rou heard the news, she immediately became irritable. The reason why she left her mother and left was mainly because Ming Yulan didn't want to leave Du Xian at all. Still, even if he accepted Du Xian's benefits, he would not let Du Xian do anything bad to the Ming family.

Now that she heard that her mother was under house arrest, she suddenly felt hot.

Seeing the little calf in front of him looking for someone to fight with red eyes, Ye Qiuniang hurriedly hugged her and said, "Don't panic, listen to Second Miss first."

Being soothed by Ye Qiuniang, Ming Rou lost her temper for a while, and finally calmed down and listened to Xu Qionghua's words.

"I went to your house for the second or third time that day. Your father...uh, Du Xian was not there. I said I was looking for your mother, and the servants took me to the gate of your mother's yard. Immediately, a woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came. , with a big belly, ordered people to stop me from going in, so I had to come back later.”

"And then?" Mingrou couldn't help being a little anxious.

"Then I had no choice but to go out and go home. I was only halfway there when I saw your new butler chasing after him. He was a man in his twenties. He brought me a bag and told me that you were here in Tongzhuang. Let me secretly convey a message to you, saying that your mother is very good, and let you take good care of yourself."

As soon as Xu Qionghua finished speaking, Ming Rou's eyes turned red instantly.

My own mother has been a rich and well-clothed young lady since she was a child. She never had to worry about trivial matters at home. She fell in love with Du Xian at first sight when she was young. From getting married to after marriage, she spent most of her time around her husband. But even so, As a mother, she still loves her daughter. Ming Rou was suffering from illness when she was very young, and she was unable to sleep at night and begged God to bless her daughter.

As a daughter, Ming Rou can naturally feel these little things.

Especially when she was kicked out of the Ming family that day, although her mother couldn't part with the Ming family and Du Xian, she finally decided to leave with her, but she was driven back by herself.

At the moment when she was driven away, she said that she wanted Mingrou to protect her heart, but now that she remembered that scene, how could she not let Mingrou feel pain in her heart.

Then Mingrou held the bundle that Xu Qionghua handed over tightly in her arms, it seemed to still be stained with the smell of her mother, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

After a while.

"You mean, the Ming family has changed a housekeeper, a young man in his 20s? How could he be willing to help mother find you to deliver news?" Ming Rou asked the question in her heart.

"It's true that he is the new housekeeper, but I don't know why you are helping your mother. Your mother is willing to tell him your whereabouts, so she must trust her very much."

Ming Rou was puzzled: "How did my mother know that we stayed in Tongzhuang?"

"I don't know about that, Rourou, you are so pitiful. Now you have to go to the fields to weed and plant the fields yourself, or you can go home with me. I can afford you as much as you can eat."

Hearing what Xu Qionghua said, Ming Rou realized that this little sister was still as ignorant of the world as before, otherwise how could she have such naive thoughts.

However, it is very rare that the former little sister did not give up on herself because she was kicked out of the house.

Xu Qionghua could naively invite herself to the Xu family, but she didn't know that if Du Xian used this to attack the Xu family, then the two families would definitely be at odds. Mingrou knew this very well, so it was impossible for her to agree invitation.

Just think of her as a child with a temper.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here, I'll be where Jiujiu is."

Ye Qiuniang is Ming Rou's personal servant girl, Xu Qionghua is naturally familiar with it, and she is very familiar with her, knowing how much her little sister depends on Ye Qiuniang, she can only curl her lips and say: "Okay, but I just want to help you. "

"I'm fine, no—" Ming Rou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of her lip smear, and then looked at Xu Qionghua in front of her, her sinking heart instantly revived.

She said to Xu Qionghua: "You wait here, I'll call someone."

After speaking, he stuffed the burden into Ye Qiuniang's arms, and ran to the Zhong family's field.

Not long after, he ran back panting, followed by Zhong Tiantian.

Xu Qionghua waited for a long time, but when she saw that she called another little girl, and seeing the two holding hands, they seemed to have a very good relationship, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, she and Mingrou had been in love for many years, this little girl's film is Who, Rourou has only been here for a few days and she is so good with her.

"Rou Rou, who is she?"

"She is my new friend, her name is Tiantian."

"Sweet?" Xu Qionghua looked at the girl with yellowish hair in front of her, who didn't look very sweet, and said oh expressionlessly.

Zhong Tiantian saw Xu Qionghua surrounded by several servants following him, so he knew that this person was worth a lot of money. Seeing that she didn't seem to have a good face for him, he didn't dare to make a sound, and followed Mingrou timidly.

Seeing her like this, Xu Qionghua lost all fighting spirit in an instant, grabbed Mingrou's arm and said, "Rourou, what did you want to say just now?"

Mingrou didn't answer, dragging her with one hand and Zhong Tiantian with the other, turned to Ye Qiuniang and said, "Jiujiu, I'll go home first, and I'll grow vegetables with you later."

Ye Qiuniang looked at the backs of the three little girls and smiled: "Have fun with the little sisters, don't worry about things in the field."

Only then did Mingrou bring the two of them home.

Just entering the yard, Xu Qionghua was disgusted for a while: "Rourou, the house you live in is really crude. If it rains, it may leak."

"You are so troublesome. I didn't complain when I lived by myself. What are you complaining about?"

Xu Qionghua was attacked by Ming Rou, and immediately shut up obediently.

Only then did Mingrou take out the lip balm and rouge that he and Zhong Tiantian had prepared together from the desk.

Naturally Xu Qionghua knew the goods, and when he saw the color of the lipstick, he was very tempted and clamored to put it on.

Ming Rou carefully applied lip balm to her lips, then took out the bronze mirror borrowed by Atao's gang and put it in front of her: "How is it?"

Xu Qionghua looked in the mirror, the bright red on her lips was very gorgeous, after putting it on, her complexion instantly brightened a lot, she couldn't help praising her, and took a little bit of it on Mingrou's lips , it looks more conspicuous, and the effect of this lip balm is many times better than the high-end products she bought at the rouge gouache shop before.

"Rourou, this is really a good thing. Where did you get it? Tell me the name of the shop. If I look like this and hang out among the little sisters, I don't know how many people will envy me."

Ming Rou said with a smile: "This thing is only available to me, it is not available anywhere else."

"Really, Rou Rou, you're not trying to fool me, are you? You don't seem to be able to make such a good thing." Xu Qionghua didn't believe her at all.

"Don't look down on me, but Tiantian and I made this delicious fat together." Mingrou pulled out Zhong Tiantian who was hiding behind her.

Xu Qionghua sized up the rustic little girl behind her in disbelief, and then looked at Mingrou's serious face, thinking that she didn't need to lie to herself, only to realize that she really looked down upon others, and muttered embarrassingly Said: "Looking at people is not good, there are indeed two tricks."

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. This young lady's arrogant appearance is no different from Ming Rou's before.

Ming Rou was not surprised by her appearance, Zhong Tiantian, as a small peasant girl, naturally did not dare to do anything, and stood weakly watching from the sidelines.

"Then you asked me to come up, because you want to give me this big box of rouge?" Xu Qionghua couldn't help but shine in his eyes as he said.

"You have a good idea," Mingrou spat at her angrily, and then said, "Of course, if you want it, it's not impossible, but I think we might as well do something together, just rely on this rouge , earn a little money to spend?"

For a lady from a rich family like Xu Qionghua, earning money is not the biggest temptation, just at the moment of hesitation, Mingrou's voice rang in her ears again: "In the future, Tiantian and I will make other styles and colors, if you If you want to get it immediately, why not join us.”

After Xu Qionghua heard this reason, her heart was ready to move. To be honest, Ming Rou was not alone in her circle, but the two grew up together since they were young. They have similar temperaments, so their friendship is relatively deep, unlike other young ladies from other families. One side is behind the other, hypocritical, but it does not prevent her from showing off in front of them in beautiful clothes and beautiful lipstick, and then reaping countless envy and jealousy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallowed and said: "What do you need me to do, let me declare first, I only have a few taels of silver a month, I can help you with your daily needs, and I will help you, but if you I don’t have the money to support these lipsticks.”

Xu Qionghua loves to go shopping, and the monthly money for a month has been spent before the end of the month, Mingrou knows this, and doesn't expect her to be of help.

"I don't ask you money, but when the matter of lip service really starts, I will let you help us spread it in your circle of rich ladies. If the business does well, you will naturally have a share of it." remuneration."

Xu Qionghua laughed immediately after hearing this: "What happened to me at the time, I just put this rouge on my pretty little face, and those rich ladies would not rush to ask me for an introduction."

Seeing her agreeing, Mingrou finally revealed a plan in her heart, and ignored her stinking, turned to Zhong Tiantian and said, "Tada, after our business is settled, you will be responsible for continuing the business." Make more and better-looking rouge, and I will be in charge of the rest and all the rest, and it’s really done, and it’s not a problem to have a big fish every day.”

When Zhong Tiantian heard this, his face flushed with excitement.

On the other hand, Xu Qionghua on the side looked contemptuous: "Rou Rou, you are really not pursuing anymore, you can be so beautiful even if you can eat a meal of meat - see how pitiful you are, what I saved last month is still Forget all the monthly money my father just gave you this month, so that I won’t see you starving into a bean sprout next time, unable to work and unable to ship to me on time."

After speaking, he took out a small purse from his pocket and put it on the table.

Seeing her move, Mingrou's eyes were slightly hot, but she didn't refuse, she squeezed out a smile and hugged Xu Qionghua and said: "Hua Zi, you are so kind, you bet on the right person in your life, I It will return your monthly money hundreds of times to your hands."

"Huh, who cares about your rewards, just don't starve to death. Okay, I'm going back. I ran out secretly. When I turn around, I will let my father know that he must break my two legs."

Seeing this, Mingrou didn't want to keep her anymore, and both of them sent her to the side of the road with Zhong Tiantian, and then waved goodbye.

Looking at the back of the carriage going away, Zhong Tiantian couldn't help but said: "Rourou, your friend is really rich."

Ming Rou smiled and winked at her and said, "Don't worry, we will have a lot of money in the future."
