The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 188 The Housekeeper of the Marquisate Visits

Erzhu didn't expect Ye Xinran to call him.

I quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll go home and get it now!"

He ran away in a flash.

The rest of them surrounded Ye Xinran and observed the facial soap in her hand.

Everyone was there just now, and no one noticed how Ye Xinran took out the facial soap.

It's weird to carry something like this with you.

But once they smelled the facial soap, everyone understood.

"Who wouldn't want to carry something this fragrant?"

Erzhu quickly brought out the basin, which was half filled with water.

Ye Xinran called to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Grandma, can I use this facial soap to wash your face today?"

Mrs. Zhang was flattered.

A little embarrassed again.

She hasn't washed her old face for several days. What if the water turns it black?

But she couldn't resist the scent of the facial soap.

"Okay, I'll risk my dignity today."

She reached out and scooped up water to wet her face, and Ye Xinran put the facial soap in her hand.

After rubbing it twice, my hands were covered with dense foam.

"Close your eyes, apply the foam on your hands to your face, and wash it as usual."

Ye Xinran was giving instructions from the side.

When Old Mrs. Zhang applied the foam on her face, her nose was immediately surrounded by the faint scent of osmanthus.

She was reluctant to finish washing her face as quickly as usual, so she rubbed it carefully.

The dust and dirt accumulated over the years actually slowly fell off under this rubbing.

Seeing that she had almost finished rubbing, Ye Xinran reminded her, "You can do it now!"

Old Mrs. Zhang had to wash off the foam on her face reluctantly.

After rinsing it off, everyone discovered that Old Lady Zhang's face was actually a little paler than before.

"It's white! It's white!"

"Yeah, it seems to be really white!"

Old Mrs. Zhang felt a little embarrassed as she looked at the turbid water.

But she couldn't care about that now.

Because her face is now smooth, she feels like she has suddenly become younger.

"This thing is really useful! My face wasn't this smooth even when I was in my twenties!"

"Auntie Zhang, can I touch you?"

Zhang Sheng’s daughter-in-law asked.

Old Mrs. Zhang quickly covered her face with her hands, "No, I washed it with great difficulty!"

When everyone saw her like this, they all laughed.

“Is it really that useful?”

"Yes! Aunt Zhang's face is smooth after washing!"

"Isn't it just like bath beans?"

……

Seeing that everyone was very curious, Ye Xinran simply said, "Why don't we all give it a try? It's not convenient to get water here. Let's go to the river and find a place to wash."

Hearing Ye Xinran say this, all the women became happy.

"Okay, let's go to the river!"

"We agreed that each person should use a little, but not too much!"

……

Before long, more than twenty women squatted in a row by the river in Yunbian Village.

They wet their faces with river water and waited for the soap to be passed to them.

After each person gets the facial soap, they turn it around in their hands twice, and when their hands are filled with rich foam, they pass the soap to the next person.

After washing with facial soap, my face becomes moist and smooth.

The women looked at each other and praised each other for becoming more beautiful.

Then he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

The men standing on the shore were equally happy.

They didn't know why their daughter-in-law was so happy to wash her face.

But seeing her happy, I was happy too.

As a bystander, Ye Xinran watched a group of women squatting by the water and laughing.

A group of men stood on the shore and laughed.

It is really a harmonious scene.

By the time everyone has washed their faces, the facial soap has almost lost weight.

The last one to use it was Erdan’s mother.

She returned the facial soap to Ye Xinran somewhat embarrassedly, and then said, "I think this facial soap is okay. It's much better than bath beans. It's just that we used too much and it's almost gone."

Ye Xinran took the facial soap and put it around her waist.

Then he said, "It was originally for everyone to use. If you like it, when the face-washing soap in the workshop is produced, I will give each of you a piece."

“No, we can’t take it for free.

We will buy it at whatever price you sell it for!"

"Then we'll talk about it then."

The two of them were talking here.

On the other side, a young couple had gathered together.

Dazhu just got married not long ago.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to get close to his wife, "Wife, what did you use to wash your face just now? It smells so good, let me smell it!"

"Don't get so close, everyone is watching us!"

Dazhu's wife was shy and pushed the person out.

Dazhu took his wife's hand and said, "Let's go home and smell it."

The two of them were so affectionate that they made a bunch of people blush.

The remaining couple looked at each other, and there was a hint of ambiguity in their eyes unconsciously.

Ye Xinran was the only one there. She looked around, but no one even looked into her eyes.

"It's really a super dog food feast!"

She sighed in her heart, then left the crowd and walked home.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I found an unfamiliar carriage parked outside.

In the yard, Leng Qingyu was talking to a stranger.

"Are you a guest from the capital?"

Ye Xinran greeted.

Leng Qingyu waved at her.

"Xinran, you're back. Come and sit down. This is the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. He's here to settle accounts with me!"

The housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion?

Come here to settle the bill?

Does this marquisate value the lady so much?

While Ye Xinran was thinking this, the housekeeper was still talking:

"Half a month ago, the Duke of Qing's mansion had a new son, and the old lady sent a pair of jade ruyi, a gold lock, and a pair of silver bracelets. These were paid at Linglong Pavilion, for a total of 850 taels.

The second and third masters had not received their monthly salary, so the old lady paid four hundred taels of silver from her own account.

The old lady said that she had paid the four hundred taels first, and the remaining one thousand six hundred taels would be given to the second and third masters after the lady returned to Beijing. "

The housekeeper kept on reading the account book in his hand.

Leng Qingyu asked calmly: "Anything else?"

"There are also some household expenses, food, clothing, and money for the young lady and the master to visit friends. The total is 1,300 taels."

As the housekeeper spoke, he handed the account book to Leng Qingyu.

Follow the previous rules.

As long as Leng Qingyu signed and stamped it, he could go to Leng Ji's silk shop to get the money.

The owner of the silk shop is an old stubborn man.

He only recognized Leng Qingyu's handwriting and seal, not the person.

The butler waited quietly.

Leng Qingyu did not move.

He just said: "I just wanted to ask you, is there any money for my expenses in this?"

The housekeeper was stunned.

Madam’s own expenses?

Is there any difference between the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion and the Madam's expenses?

Isn't it the Madam who is in charge?
