   Chapter 106 Xuexia Evening

   The people in the store said "wow" and gathered around, "Madam is going to the palace to teach the princesses how to play the piano?"

   "Oh my God!"

   "Mrs. Shizi wants to enter the palace and talk to the Queen?"

   Slap in the face, right? Jiang Liu cheerfully opened his small mouth to read the joke, and Mrs. Jiang held up the teacup to hide the disdain on her face.

  Liu Ruyan quickly adjusted her expression and said with a dignified smile, "It is an honor for Lan'er to learn the piano with you at the same time as the princesses. I wonder how many days you need to enter the palace every ten days?"

"No more, no less, it's also three days." After Mrs. Yazheng finished speaking, Liu Ruyan and Mrs. Meng's eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, but they heard her say, "Yazheng rests for one day every ten days. The remaining three days have already been answered. I went to Mrs. Jiang to teach the girls in Jiang's house how to play the piano."

   Mrs. Jiang put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It is my honor that my granddaughters and princesses can learn the piano with you at the same time."

   "Hahaha!" The female customer in the store laughed out loud. Jiang Liu applauded secretly, secretly saying that his grandmother was also a wonderful person.

  Liu Ruyan bit her lip lightly, and lifted her teacup with her eyes down.

Mrs. Meng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The children of our two families have grown up together since they were young, and they are closer than sisters. Sister-in-law, let the children go to Dicuitang to learn the piano together? If there are not enough piano cases in Dicuitang, we will I'll carry a few here in the courtyard."

   Her face must have been made by the best blacksmith in the city! Jiang Liu expressed deep admiration and turned to look at his grandmother.

   Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "In order to prevent Mrs. from running back and forth, my granddaughters are learning the piano at the piano shop."

"That…"

   Before Madam Meng finished speaking, Madam Yazheng said, "Upstairs is narrow and can only accommodate four qin cases."

   Mrs. Meng closed her mouth and remained silent.

   Liu Ruyan also asked, "If you can fit four pieces, would the girls from the Hou residence come to Madam to learn the piano?"

   "As long as your government agrees, of course Yazheng welcomes it." Mrs. Yazheng said with a smile.

  Liu Ruyan really had no control over the affairs of the Hou Mansion. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Yazheng, got up and walked away.

   "It's still Mrs. Shizi, she is so petty when she talks and does things."

   "It's raised by a small family, isn't that what it is."

   "Fortunately, Second Master Jiang didn't marry her!"

"that is!"

   "Liu girl, you have to keep your father away from her, understand?"

   The person behind him lightly patted Jiang Liu's small shoulder, Jiang Liu turned his head slowly, and smiled at the enthusiastic elder sister-in-law, who flushed red.

   Liu Ruyan left, Madam Jiang also got up to leave, Madam Meng quickly followed, "Sister-in-law, shall we go back together?"

   "Alright." Mrs. Jiang nodded with a smile, and then said to her granddaughters, "It's rare to come out, you can go around, pick a few good-looking paper kites and come back, and let the bad luck go away when the wind is good."

   "Yes." The girls of the Jiang family happily agreed.

   Sent grandmother away and said goodbye to Mrs. Yazheng. After walking out for a while, Jiang Mujin couldn't help laughing, "Did you see the expressions on their faces when grandmother said she was unlucky? You're going to die of laughing at me!"

   Jiang Muyan said quickly, "Five sisters, there are many people on the street, so be careful with your words and deeds."

   Jiang Mujin covered her mouth, still giggling. When the little girls go shopping, they naturally go for rouge gouache and fabric jewelry. When they turned to Fan'er Lane, Jiang Mujin, who often went shopping with her mother, pointed to a shop and shouted, "Third sister, isn't this the shop that the second aunt left to you and the sixth sister!"

   Fifth sister shouted out, and Jiang Muyan didn't want to get in the door. "Let's go down and have a look. Second sister and fifth sister have a few favorites and bring them back to third aunt and aunt."

   "Let's just take a look." Jiang Muzheng quickly grabbed Wumei and showed her that she should not mess around.

   "I don't want anything!" Jiang Mujin shook off the second sister's hand and held Jiang Liu's, "Sixth sister, let's go!"

  Jiang Liu was carried by the nurse and got off the car, and looked up to see the three characters "Xuexia Evening" written on the signboard of the Rouge Shop. The signboard was written by the second uncle, the name was given by the mother, the official script is slender and soft, and the name has a long meaning.

Seeing them come in, Wang Ke's wife hurried out of the counter to give Jiang Muyan and Jiang Liu a salute, "Come in, girls, if you need rouge powder, ask Shuxia to send a letter to the servant, and it would be nice for the servant to send you to the house. How dare you make the girls go for a trip in person."

  Jiang Muyan asked Shu Xia to help her mother up and smiled, "My sisters and I are here to buy paper kites, and we will stop by here and have a look."

   Wang Ke's wife smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that the girls are here. There are some big and beautiful paper kites coming from Caibohang today, and the servants will send the girls there later."

  Sister was talking to Shu Xia's mother, while Jiang Liu let her nanny hold her, lying on the counter and staring brightly at the boxes of rouge powder inside. The female worker behind the counter couldn't help but praise, "This servant has been in Dongshi for more than ten years, and I have never seen a female doll more beautiful than the girl. Which one do you want to see? The servant will bring it to you."

   "That one." Jiang Liu pointed at the most dazzling gold-painted small porcelain box on the counter with his chubby little finger, and Jiang Mujin also came over to take a look.

"Girl has good eyesight, this is our new rouge this spring. It's made of top-quality safflower, cornstarch, and top-grade spices. It is very delicate and docile when applied to the face." in front of the two girls.

   Jiang Mujin smelled it and praised, "It's so fragrant!"

  Jiang Liu also sniffed, the fragrance was strong but not greasy, and it was vaguely familiar. Where had she smelled this smell?

   Jiang Mujin asked again, "Such a good rouge is definitely not cheap, right?"

   The female man pursed his lips and smiled, "This rouge is the most expensive in our store. If a regular customer comes to buy it, it will cost 300 yuan."

   Such a small box costs 300 wen, which is really not cheap. Jiang Liu nodded and motioned to the female buddy to close the lid. Jiang Muyan came over, "Is there a good grease?"

   Wang Ke's wife hurriedly said, "Bring the sophora japonica paste."

   After taking the Sophora japonica paste, Jiang Muyan opened it and picked some on the back of her hand with her fingernails, "It seems to be a little more tired than before."

  Wang Ke's wife smiled and said, "I added a little locust nectar to it. The proportion is what Wang Liyuan, a perfumer, tried a little bit. It's our secret recipe for Xuexia evening."

  Jiang Muyan nodded with satisfaction, "As a reward for his January salary, take five boxes of this sophora japonica paste, two boxes of the rouge just now, five boxes of rouge in the wooden box next to it, and a piece of good luodai."

  Wang Ke's wife prepared it herself and sent the girls to the carriage.

On the carriage, Jiang Muyan opened the box and said, "I see that my grandmother's luodai is about to run out. Let's give this to my grandmother when we go back; the gold-painted rouge will be given to my aunt and third aunt, and the wooden box of rouge will be given to my aunts; these sophora flower pastes, we will give them to my grandmother. A box of five each."

  Jiang Muzheng knew that the third sister was thinking of her, so she brought rouge to every concubine in the house, her eyes couldn't help turning red.

   Jiang Mujin put her arms around Jiang Muyan's arm with eyes full of stars, "Third sister, why didn't I know you were so powerful before! You were in the store just now, like a real housekeeper!"

   "What nonsense are you talking about, the third sister is only ten years old, and she is still early to be the housekeeper." Jiang Muzheng laughed through tears. The third younger sister used to be in the Wang family, and Jiang Muzheng gradually became familiar with her because of her piano practice in the past few months. After getting acquainted, I found out that although the third sister is quiet and quiet, she treats people very well. The aunt said that the third sister's mother had such a temperament when she was alive, and was the most reasonable of the three ladies.

  Jiang Mujin asked again, "Third sister, did your second aunt teach you those things?"

   Jiang Muyan nodded lightly, thinking of her deceased mother, her expression was a little lonely, and she gently held her sister's hand.

   Jiang Liu raised his head and smiled at his sister. At this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by the side of the car, and she immediately remembered why she felt that the smell of rouge just now was a little familiar. Xizhu, the maid next to her eldest cousin, used this rouge! Just now in the Yaguan Music Store, Meng Yajiao also used it!

   Jiang Liu immediately instructed Shu Qiu, "Go-steal-steal-follow-hi-bamboo, look-she-go-do-what-what."
