Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero
Vol 2 Chapter 79:
After returning from Qin Mansion, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Cao Mi and three children stayed in the city for a long time, and it was a little boring.
It happened that in the villa, the news that the mares were about to give birth came from the North Temple. Cao Mi thought about it, and then took the children to Rongguang Villa.
Not only to relieve boredom, but also to take a look at the recent development of various work in the villa.
The noble families in Kham City, who had sent invitations frequently, saw that the head of the Bei'an Palace was not in the city, so they temporarily stopped the thought of climbing the palace, and instead they were busy with other family relationships.
And Qin Mansion, which ranked second in the city, was obviously the best choice for them.
The Qin family in Liaozhou was originally one of the most powerful forces. Although this generation, no one in the main family is an official at the feet of the emperor, but the heritage accumulated by several generations of hard work is also difficult for ordinary people to match.
Not to mention that the current head of the Qin family seems to have directly climbed the line of King Beian. In the past two years, his position has jumped several levels.
For a time, in addition to Qi You, the serious prince, in Liaozhou, the Qin family was the second person from the bottom of the list.
Mrs. Qin is not like Cao Mi like quiet, she likes lively.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Mansion had just held a banquet for the eldest son's birthday some time ago, but during this time, the doors of Qin Mansion were still open every day to welcome guests from all walks of life.
Mrs. Qin sat on the throne, originally in high spirits, but even listening to those similar flattering words these days, she was really tired.
On this day, a lady from an aristocratic family sitting on her left obviously saw her impatience. When she came to the good words on her lips, she bowed and praised the eldest Miss Qin who was sitting next to Mrs. Qin.
The eldest young lady of the Qin mansion was also from Mrs. Qin, and she was two years older than the eldest son of the Qin mansion who had a ten-year-old birthday banquet before.
"...In such a cold day, the eldest miss is not affected at all. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a good white jade carving!" The lady praised: "Oh, she really looks like a fairy. Yo!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin really regained her spirits.
She tilted her head to look at her daughter, with a proud and relieved expression on her face, but she was still humble in her mouth: "Oh, it's just an ordinary appearance, how can you exaggerate like that?"
The aristocratic lady consciously touched the key hole, and immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, and said, "Madam, don't be humble.
"If your little lady is like this, if all of them are called ordinary, then the whole Liaozhou, I am afraid that there will be no good-looking people."
She didn't suppress her voice. As soon as she said this, everyone around her focused their attention on the eldest Miss Qin family.
I saw that although the eldest lady of the Qin family is not very old, she already has a little girl's beauty.
She was lucky, following her bright-looking mother, at this time, her white and tender face was adorned with dark eyebrows and red lips, which was very beautiful.
Under the eyes of everyone, she leaned shyly in the direction of her mother, but she still stabilized her demeanor, and let these ladies and sisters with the banquet look at her generously.
Seeing it, Mrs. Qin was so happy that she no longer leaned against the cushion behind her, and sat up straight with her chest out.
In the crowd, someone said, "The eldest lady is already 12 this year, oh, I don't know which son of a family will have such a fortune to marry such a beautiful lady in a few years!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of good-natured laughter around.
The eldest lady of the Qin family couldn't bear it any longer, and reached out and grabbed her mother's sleeve.
Mrs. Qin patted her soothingly.
That is to say, there are some female relatives whose net worth is not much different from that of the Qin mansion, so everyone dared to make such a joke. After laughing, everyone consciously turned the topic away and stopped embarrassing the Qin family.
The lady of the aristocratic family who spoke at the beginning said: "Just now, it's all a joke, the lady and the eldest lady must not take it to heart.
"But speaking of it, the eldest lady's makeup is really pretty!
"In the past few days, it has been cold and snowy. I apply pearl powder at home every day, and I feel that this old face is a little bit unbearable, and it hurts when I encounter the cold wind outside.
"That is to say, a natural beauty like the eldest lady will not be affected at all."
The eldest lady of the Qin family was still shy and didn't know what to say, so Mrs. Qin said: "Don't you know, this eldest lady in our family is very squeamish. She doesn't open the door on weekdays, and there is nothing to catch the cold. Chance.
As she said that, she couldn't help touching her daughter's delicate Rou Yi, and sighed, "Everything that is good in the family is closely used by her, and it is all born and raised."
The eldest lady of the Qin family raised her head when she heard the words, as if she wanted to say something.
But as soon as she called "mother", she was interrupted by the lady of the noble family next to her.
Taking advantage of this topic, the aristocratic lady directly flattered her **** and said, "Speaking of which, I came here this time and brought you and a few little ladies some new mouth rouge in the city."
She was a little excited in her words: "The store told me that the mouth rouge they sell is not only good-looking, because it has added beauty secrets and maintenance effects."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows.
She has been busy feasting on guests these past few days, but she was a little careless about the wind direction in the city.
At this time, when she heard the news of new things from the mouths of others, she was actually a little unhappy - in this Liaozhou, if there is anything good, they should be the Qin family who get it first.
The aristocratic lady didn't notice her thoughts at all, she just nodded and said, "Yes, it only started selling recently.
"Madam, how strange you are! That thing is very valuable, but it was sold out in less than two days!
"The villain in the house finally bought two sets, and I brought them both to you."
Maybe it was because she lowered her posture low enough that Mrs. Qin's mood improved again.
She nodded and confirmed with some surprise: "It's worth a lot, and it's sold out within two days?
"Doesn't this store have a lot of stock at all?"
Mrs. Shijia shook her head: "I don't know. But ah... This store is located under Fengdeng Restaurant. There are many noble people there, and it is not uncommon for new things to be sold out."
Beside her, there was another person who could not see that she was selling well in front of Mrs. Qin alone, and said sourly: "It turned out to be in Fengdenglou...
"Now in Fengdeng Building, what is sold is not sold out? Isn't it just a little gimmick and novelty."
As she said that, she complimented Mrs. Qin: "What kind of family is the Qin mansion? I haven't seen any good things. How can I see these things with only their names."
The madam of the noble family who presented the gift gritted her teeth, but did not dare to tear her face with the person who spoke, so she could only say, "You can't say that!"
The man said again: "Rouge gouache is something that is meant to be used on the body.
"If it's not really good, even opening the store in Fengdeng Building will not help."
The people around nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were fighting happily, Mrs. Qin simply said: "Otherwise, let's take that rouge and take a look?
"If it's as good as you said, then next time, I have to send someone to squat."
The aristocratic lady was shocked, and nodded while maintaining a smile.
That thing was brought up by the people below. Before she got it in her hands, she brought it to Qin Mansion.
Is it really easy to use? In the heart of this aristocratic lady, there is no bottom at all!
But at this time, Mrs. Qin spoke up, she had no room for refusal at all, she could only pretend to agree calmly.
Mrs. Qin gave a wink to the maid next to her, and soon someone went down to arrange it.
After a while, a beautifully packaged gift box was delivered.
Mrs. Qin took the things apart in front of everyone.
The wooden box is not large, and it is covered with silk that feels very tactile. On the silk, there are several colored porcelains.
There are also text labels on the colored porcelain, which are written with the words Daimei powder, mouth grease, white jade moisturizing cream and so on. These names are a bit odd, but they're still there at a glance.
Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up, and she took out the bottle of "moisturizing cream".
Opening the lid of the porcelain jar, she put her nose in and sniffed, smelling a fresh floral fragrance.
"Hey! This thing smells good!" Mrs. Qin exclaimed.
Next to her, Madam Shijia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her praise.
She was still thinking about the matter of asking for credit, and said, "Oh, if you like it!
"It's not in vain that I spent a lot of money to buy it, and it was delivered as soon as possible."
Mrs. Qin took this love, and then dipped a little delicate paste on the back of her hand.
She has often been active in the snow these days, because she has to do a lot of toasting, and her hands can't be hidden in her sleeves all the time. After a few days, the back of my right hand had frostbite.
Applying pearl powder or something must not be done in the current occasion of entertaining guests. The paste that happened to be just received looked very delicate. Thinking that it would be fine after applying it, Mrs. Qin immediately started to use it.
She did not expect any immediate effect from this product, but after applying it, she only felt a moisturizing feeling on the back of her hand. Soon, the pain in the original frostbite area was relieved a lot, and the tight skin was relieved.
This time, Mrs. Qin was really stunned.
She praised: "Hey! This thing is really good! It actually has an effect when you apply it!"
The eldest lady of the Qin family opened her mouth, and of course everyone agreed immediately.
The woman who was choking with the aristocratic lady's face became very ugly.
Of course, more people looked enviously at the lady who presented the gift.
Given the right thing, in the eyes of Mrs. Qin in the future, this aristocratic lady may have to compete with them.
Mrs. Qin didn't have time to pay attention to the careful thoughts of these people, and happily shared this good thing with her daughter next to her.
She also pulled her daughter's hand over and smeared a layer of moisturizing cream on her.
The eldest lady of the Qin family looked a little strange. She withdrew her hand and put it under her nose to smell it.
"How is it?" Mrs. Qin looked at her daughter and asked excitedly, "Not bad?
"No! I have to remember that next time I go to Fengdenglou in person and find the shopkeeper, I will definitely buy a few more sets!"
She murmured: "My own use is one thing, and the princess has to send a few sets to express her feelings."
She was thinking to herself, but the eldest lady of the Qin family, who had been silent for a while, finally realized something.
She said to Mrs. Qin, "Mother, what did you say?"
Mrs. Qin gave a suspicious "um".
The eldest lady of the Qin family explained amusingly, "You just said you want to send this thing to the palace?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Qin to nod her head, she said, "Isn't these things the gifts that the princess gave us during the birthday banquet of my brother a few days ago?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Qin was stunned: "Gift from the princess?"
The eldest lady of the Qin family nodded.
Only then did Mrs. Qin remember that there was such a thing.
But at that time, after she received something from Cao Mi, she didn't take it to heart at all. As the eldest wife of a top family in Liaozhou, she has valuable things in her family for her consumption.
But after the eldest lady of the Qin family got her share from the housekeeper, she used it curiously.
She has a very good impression of the beautiful and generous Princess Bei'an, so she also loves the house and Wudi blue-eyed for the things she sent.
And this test, she discovered the mystery.
Originally, she thought that the Princess and the East had sent some, and her mother and sisters had all distributed them, and naturally they used them, so she didn't mention them these days. At this time, through this incident, she realized that her mother had completely forgotten about it.
Mrs. Qin blushed a little. She was stunned for a while before she regained her senses. She said angrily, "Hey...Look at me. I've been busy these days, so I forgot about it."
The eldest lady of the Qin family has turned her attention away.
"It's alright now, I was worried that I'd run out of these things, so I wouldn't be able to ask the princess for it!" She blushed slightly and said excitedly, "In this way, mother, we can also send someone there. Buying from Fengdenglou, don't bother the princess."
Mrs. Qin nodded mechanically: "Yes."
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to her daughter, "Fortunately, you ... or else I'll actually send things away, but I'll make a big joke in front of the princess."
The lady of the Qin family smiled softly at her, stretched out her hand and checked the other items in her wooden box.
The other people next to them had different expressions, all silently making their own calculations in their hearts.
