Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 282 Beauty House

Jiang Xiaoxiao's casual words to comfort Yu'er were heard by Yu Ying'er.

She suddenly came to her senses. That's right, they must have spent the money that Su Wanwan rewarded them!

Otherwise, where would these two country bumpkins get the money to eat at such an expensive Zuifenglou?

This Zuifenglou is the most expensive restaurant in the entire Xuzhou wharf. Even she has never been there to eat. And it is said that the chef of Zuifenglou is descended from an imperial chef, and has been studying cooking for generations. The superb cooking skills are unforgettable for everyone who has eaten there...

Maybe they have spent all their money on this meal!

Thinking of this, Yu Ying'er couldn't help feeling proud again.

This mother and daughter have no money but are pretending to be rich to reward their friends. Humph, she wants to see what they will do if they have no money in the next few days?
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no idea what Yu Ying'er was thinking. She walked straight past Yu Ying'er and called out to Mr. Bai, who was standing in a daze in front of her.

Mr. Bai was very surprised to see them: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect to meet you here..."

Seeing that he was looking depressed, Jiang Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Uncle Bai, why are you here alone? Did something happen?"

When he got off the merchant ship, Mr. Bai was in good condition, but why did he become like this after we parted at the clinic?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very confused.

Mr. Bai opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain, but when he saw Yu'er and Yu Ying'er beside him, he swallowed his words.

"It's just a small incident, don't worry." He forced a smile.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wei frowned unconsciously, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just said: "Then let's take a walk together, it's just right for you to go to the same place with us."

Mr. Bai nodded.

He understood what Jiang Wei meant.

He also knew what happened in Yong'an County. The Jiang family came to Xuzhou for important business.

It was the first time for the mother and daughter to come to Xuzhou, so they were inevitably unfamiliar with the place. Having him by their side saved them a lot of trouble.

Yu Ying'er was listening nearby, her eyes darting around, looking at Jiang Wei, then at Mr. Bai, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

But he smiled and said, "I wonder where Madam Jiang is going. Although this is my first time in Xuzhou, I know most of the roads. I can take you wherever you want to go."

There was a sense of superiority in his tone.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at her and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

Jiang Wei didn't even look at her, he took Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand and said to Mr. Bai: "Then please take us to the Central Royal Street, Mr. Bai."

Mr. Bai said yes and led the way.

Yu Ying'er was stunned.

The Central Imperial Street is the most prosperous and affluent street in Xuzhou. Every inch of land there is valuable and anything sold in any shop there is not cheap.

She didn't believe it, so she pulled a little maid beside her and followed.

She would like to take a look and see what this country mother and daughter are doing in a place like that. Could they be going to live with some rich relatives?
Seeing this, Yu'er had no choice but to follow.

So, a group of people marched towards Yu Street, the largest and most prosperous center of Xuzhou.

……

Soon they arrived at the central imperial street.

This is indeed the most bustling and prosperous street in Xuzhou, with tall city towers on both sides of the street, and houses lined up one after another, including teahouses, wine shops, antique shops, clothing shops, rouge and jewelry shops, etc. There are also many food vendors selling food along the busy streets.

Jiang Xiaoxiao remembered that on the stack of shop deeds that Governor Xie gave to her family, there was a rouge shop.

It seems to be called...Birenzhai.

It specializes in selling skin care products commonly used by women, such as rouge, powder, bath beans, soap beans and scented powder.

Not long after walking, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the shop called Meirenzhai.

The shop is very large, with the three characters "Meiren Zhai" inscribed in a flamboyant style on the golden nanmu signboard. There are also lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, shining brightly and attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Mom, that shop should be it." Jiang Xiaoxiao tugged at her mother's sleeve and said in a low voice.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Jiang Wei had just finished speaking when Yu Ying'er, who was standing next to him, could no longer contain her excitement and rushed into the Beauty Room, pulling a little maid with her.

Love of beauty is women's nature. No woman can resist the temptation when passing by such a large rouge and powder shop. Even if they don't buy anything, they would want to go in and take a look.

When the mother and daughter entered the store, they immediately smelled the fragrance inside. Then they looked around and saw that the interior of the store was elegantly decorated with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which was very stylish.

At this moment, Yu Ying'er was already leaning over an exquisite cupboard, picking out rows of lip balms.

Lip balm is the lipstick in ancient times. It is usually used together with rouge. It is packed in a small box or jar and applied directly with hands.

The lipsticks in the cupboard come in a variety of colors, including bright vermilion, red, and lighter sandalwood...

The person who received Yu Ying'er was the store owner.

The shopkeeper saw that she was wearing a maid's attire and thought she was a maid serving the lady of some wealthy family, who was here to help buy rouge and powder, and was very attentive to her.

"Give me a box of vermilion." Yu Ying'er enjoyed the shopkeeper's flattering attitude and pointed to a box of lip balm inside.

When the shopkeeper saw Yu Ying'er directly asked for the most expensive lipstick, he smiled brightly and said, "Miss, you have a good eye. This box of lipstick is the best-selling one in our store, and it only costs fifteen taels of silver."

"Ten or fifteen taels of silver?!" The smile on Yu Ying'er's face froze.

She thought the things in here would be expensive, but she didn't expect it to be this expensive!
This is just a small box of lip balm, but its price is almost catching up with the prices in Beijing.

"Miss, do you want more?" When the shopkeeper saw Yu Ying'er hesitating, the smile on his face immediately faded.

Yu Ying'er hated to see others look down upon her, so she immediately took out some silver from her purse and said in a very aggressive tone, "Yes! Why not? Give me a box of that powder over there, too."

Black powder is something that ancient women used to draw their eyebrows. It is made of a bluish-black mineral. When drawing eyebrows, the black powder is placed on a stone inkstone, ground into powder and then mixed with water.

Of course, these are things only rich people use, and the price of this box of lip powder is not lower than the lip balm just now.

If girls from poor families wanted to draw their eyebrows, they would mostly use burnt willow branches.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes followed the rows of ancient cosmetics, rouge, makeup powder, lipstick, flower ornaments, lipstick paper, forehead pigment... and finally landed on powder.

Fu powder was also a kind of cosmetic in ancient times, mainly used on the face to decorate and whiten the face.

Looking at this familiar color, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Li Xiufen's disfigured face.

She frowned slightly, pointed at one of the boxes of powder and said, "Uncle Shopkeeper, can you give me a box to look at?"

"Go away, go away, you little girl, what do you know? Why are you looking around in my store without buying anything?" The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently.
