Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 711: Introduction

“So it’s your cousin-in-law. You’re really pretty. I wonder which family you’re from?”

Xiang Ling’er blushed slightly. However, when she saw Ye Muyu’s encouraging gaze, she instantly mustered up her courage and said softly, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Madam. In fact, I’m just a country girl from a small family.”

“I don’t deserve your praise.”

“It’s not like there aren’t any good country girls. Isn’t Ah Yu very powerful? A country girl by Ah Yu’s side must also be very good.”

“But did you use any rouge or cosmetic powder?” Mrs. Hong could not help but ask curiously. When she saw Mrs. He looking over, she suddenly realized that she was being too direct. She quickly changed her words. “Look at me. Please excuse my rudeness.”

“It’s because my body has been heaty these days, and many red spots have grown on my face. It’s really ugly. I wanted to use rouge and makeup, but it only made it worse. I don’t know how thick the makeup I put on today to not embarrass myself. Sigh.” At this point, Mrs. Hong was really a little worried, and the worry on her face was especially obvious.

When Mrs. He heard this, she felt the same way. “I don’t have acne, but my skin is dry. Look, winter is coming, and I’m afraid it’ll be even worse. I’ll look like a ghost with makeup on. The Yunxiang Pavilion’s signature Yunxiang cream is good, but it’s just expensive.”

“It doesn’t last long, but it costs a few dozen taels.”

Spending ten to twenty taels a month on a type of cream was definitely not cheap.

However, it was not like Mrs. He could not afford it. There was probably another reason.

Ye Muyu smiled faintly. She did not ask any more questions. Instead, she changed the topic to Xiang Ling’er. “Mrs. He, look. Isn’t Ling’er’s wrist a little dry?”

Xiang Ling ‘er calmly stretched out her hand. She had not done much farm work and her hands were not ugly, but they were not delicate.

She knew that Ye Muyu was going to introduce these rouge and cosmetic powders today. Thus, not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she was also excited. She was excited that her use had finally come.

She then said, “Mrs. He, actually, not only are my hands dry, but my face and body are also dry. I don’t usually have any good cosmetics to use, so I can only ignore them or wash them with rice-washing water.”

“Eh, then why is your makeup so natural?” Mrs. He was surprised.

Ye Muyu saw that Xiang Ling’er did not doubt that her hands and face were different, so she did not explain further. After all, Xiang Ling’er was indeed prone to dry skin, so it was fine as long as her cosmetics were useful.

“Cousin-in-law put some cream on me. Does Madam want to take a look?” Xiang Ling’er said as she took out a sample suitable for Mrs. He from the small wooden box beside her.

“If Madam doesn’t mind, you can apply some on your arm.” Xiang Ling ‘er did not overstep her boundaries. Instead, she obediently got up and walked to Mrs. He’s side. She opened the small porcelain bottle containing the cream.

As she got closer, Mrs. He could see it more clearly. Even when she smiled at Ling’er, the rouge on her face did not seem to fall off at all. On the contrary, when she looked at it up close, it was still very delicate, making people envious.

Ye Muyu took a sip of the tea and covered the smile on her face. She let Ling’er be the test subject because her skin was naturally good. A good foundation meant good results.

However, Ye Muyu’s main focus was skin care, and the rouge needed for makeup was secondary.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll try.” Mrs. He could not wait to use some and apply it on her hands.

Xiang Ling’er did not say anything else and returned to her seat.
