LIGHTNOVELONLINE v2 Chapter 75
The snow outside the plug did not touch the white salt catkins, and each piece had sharp edges, as if it would cut the skin and bleed.
After Qi You re-entered Jirong City, he found that the defense in the city was much stricter than before.
After waiting in the city for two days, they finally got in touch with Luo Ke again.
Gerr came back from outside, shaking off a snowflake.
He shivered and walked directly towards Qi You.
“My lord… these are five sets of military uniforms and military badges that Mrs. Luo got from Rongcheng.” Geer handed out a package in his hand, “With these things, we can try to infiltrate the crowd of defenders. already.”
After Qi San next to him took the package and checked it carefully, Geer took out a letter from his arms, “This is a letter from Mrs. Luo.”
Qi You nodded and took the letter.
After a while, he sent the letter into the charcoal stove in front of him and burned it.
“The eldest prince and his party will arrive within five days.” Qi You began to tell everyone the content of the letter, “He was among the guards beside Prince Zuo Yi.
“Luo Ke said in the letter that the information she inquired from the general’s mouth was that the most striking feature of the eldest prince was a pair of golden eyes.”
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Qi Sandao: “It’s strange… But in this way, I’m not afraid of finding the wrong person.”
Qi You nodded.
He raised his head and instructed Geer: “The military uniform is already available, you arrange for a few people to join the army first and wait for the arrangement.”
Gal nodded.
Qi You turned to Qi San again, and said, “Has the Rong Wen document I said before been forged? Send it to Luo Ke as soon as possible, and let her find a secret place to hide.”
Qi San nodded: “Don’t worry, my lord, I will find a chance to send it there tonight.”
Qi You nodded.
He added two more pieces of black charcoal to the charcoal stove in front of him, and his pupils were filled with fiery red veins.
Qi San got up and closed the window next to it that had been blown open by the north wind.
——
Dong Li leaned over and closed the window.
She regained her senses and said to Cao Mi who was sitting on the couch, “This winter’s wind and snow is really boiling.”
Cao Mi smiled: “Where is this going? It’s only half a month since the snow fell, and it’s not the time to really boil people.”
As she spoke, she greeted Dong Li to her side: “Dong Li, come here and try the ‘white jade paste’ newly made by Zhou Xue and the others.”
Dong Li’s eyes lit up.
She leaned close to Cao Mi’s fingertips and smelled it, and said, “It smells so good!”
Cao Mi smiled.
She rubbed a small piece of white jade plaster that she dug out with her fingertips on the Dongli surface.
In this era, women’s makeup still uses heavy metals such as lead powder and cinnabar that exceed the standard.
Cao Mi knew the dangers of heavy metals, never used the cosmetics of this era, and strictly prohibited the maids around him from using them.
Sometimes, when entertaining guests, the ladies of the aristocratic families saw her face to the sky and thought that the King of Bei’an was not in the mansion.
Only Cao Mi knew that he was just cherishing his life.
She also mentioned a few words to those ladies from noble families, but the effect was very limited. Some habits that were deeply rooted in the bones were not something that Cao Mi could press with a sentence or two of “cinnabar is poisonous”.
Cao Mi said it a few times, but he felt bored, so he didn’t mention it anymore.
During this period of time, Zhou Xue and the other women just happened to be free, so she thought of this, and regarded cosmetics and skin care products as a topic, and let them think about it when they were free.
The two were mixed in with other practical topics, and Cao Mi thought that there would not be progress so quickly.
But she underestimated women’s pursuit of beauty.
Zhou Xue’s group of people, just in a topic of “tire development” and “shock suspension system improvement”, priority to get out cosmetics and skin care products.
Although Cao Mi felt a little helpless, but at this time it was a cold winter. A few days ago, the three children in the house played outside in the snow all day, and the next day, their skin and lips became chapped.
Princess Bei’an could only sigh that this thing came in time.
“Take this bottle and use it with Taozi and the others first.” She gave the small porcelain bottle in her hand to Dongli, “Zhou Xue and the others are still thinking about the batch development, and when new ones are made, I’ll give you one more bottle each.”
Dongli took the bottle, Luoluo gave Cao Mi a salute, and smiled happily, “Thank you, Princess, for the reward.”
She served Cao Mi for a long time and knew Cao Mi’s temper. When Cao Mi has good things, he will never forget their maids, and girls like Dongli, in addition to the friendship of master and servant, also read the goodness of Cao Mi.
Cao Mi smiled and said, “Well, go see if some young masters have finished school, and bring them here.”
Dong Li nodded and turned to go to work.
Soon, Qi Ran rushed into the house first.
“Mother!” He jumped directly on Cao Mi’s lap, raised his head and asked, “Mother, do you have honey today?”
The day before yesterday, his lips were peeling, so Cao Mi asked his servants to wipe his lips with honey.
Natural honey is very effective for cracking and peeling of the lips. Apply a thin layer and it will take effect within ten minutes. When Cao Mi was a child, she lived in the countryside and didn’t like any lip balm. Every winter, the elders in the family helped her deal with chapped lips.
But this kind of thing is a little hard to control when it comes to Qi Ran.
The honey tasted sweet, painted his mouth, and was about to be licked off by Little Fatty in a blink of an eye.
Fortunately, after a few times, even though most of them were eaten, Qi Ran’s lips recovered a lot.
Cao Mi tapped his lips and said, “No, you are all well, what kind of honey do you need to put on?”
Qi Ran pouted, as if a little unhappy.
Later, Qi Rui and Qi An also caught up.
Cao Mi touched the palms of the two of them and asked, “Come over from the academy, is it cold?”
Qi Rui shook his head and said, “It’s not cold.”
Cao Mi took Qi Ran, who was fluttering on the couch, into his arms and said, “Okay, Ran’er, don’t move.”
She smiled and said to the three: “Today is the tenth birthday banquet for the eldest son of the Qin family. After we pack up, we have to prepare to leave for the Qin Mansion.”
Qi An asked curiously, “Qin Mansion? Do you have to go there?”
It’s snowing and it’s cold, and he still prefers to stay at home.
“In the past, I pushed all the invitations from aristocratic families in the city, but it’s not good to keep rejecting them.” Cao Mi said: “And we didn’t stay too much, we only stayed for a while and then came back.”
Qi Rui nodded beside him and said, “With my father’s intentional support, the Qin family is now in charge of politics in Liaozhou, and my mother is really not good and always avoids them.”
As soon as he said this, Cao Mi and the twins looked at him.
“Brother, how do you know?” Qi An asked.
“Before my father sent me several rosters, let me write down.” Qi Rui told the truth.
Qi An’s mouth pouted so high: “Hmph, why don’t I have one?”
Qi Rui said directly: “You are still young, and my father specially instructed in the letter not to show it to you and Qi Ran.”
The second son of the palace frowned a little indignantly.
Cao Mi took him directly and comforted him: “An’er, I remember you and Qi Ran are still learning Chinese characters with Master Lin, right?”
Qi An didn’t know why she asked this, so she nodded.
Cao Mi smiled and said, “Then do you know what kind of official position Qi Rui mentioned earlier as ‘in charge of politics’?”
Qi An shook his head.
“Your eldest brother has already understood the various official positions in the DPRK, so your father will show him these.” Cao Mi tried to appease him: “Actually, my mother also approves of your father’s actions.
“I can really show you those rosters, but because you haven’t even touched the basic official positions, it’s easy to cause confusion for yourself.
“Knowledge is like food, you have to eat it step by step, understand?”
To a precocious child like Qi An, it won’t work if you fool him with the reason of being “young”, and it may even arouse his rebellious psychology.
Fortunately, he is willing to reason, Cao Mi has always been very patient, and is willing to analyze the original intention of some things with him.
Sure enough, after hearing Cao Mi’s explanation, Qi An nodded and returned to Qi Rui’s side to stand up, his face much better.
Cao Mi smiled.
She glanced at Qi Ran, who was heartlessly listening to them.
Qi An is an example. A normal child like Qi Ran would like to read a little less.
After appeasing Qi An, Cao Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
She took a bottle of white jade ointment next to her and said, “Come on, I’ll help you apply some face ointment. After you go out later, you won’t be blushing like the last time you go out.”
The three children nodded obediently.
Cao Mi followed the order, grabbing Qi Ran who was closest to him first and getting busy.
When he touched the biggest Qi Rui, Cao Mi sighed: “Tsk, our Rui’er’s skin is really good, white and bright, this time out, I don’t know how many little ladies out there want to see the eldest son of our palace.”
Qi Rui’s birthday was in February, and he was almost six years old after Chinese New Year.
The little boy with the protagonist’s halo is tall and has long legs. In addition, the appearance has been opened a little, unlike the twins, who still have immature faces, and already have the capital to make a woman feel young.
Anyway, as a modern person who has surfed the Internet and met all kinds of beautiful men, Cao Mi will be amazed by the looks of their father and son from time to time.
Hearing his praise, Qi Rui blushed slightly.
“Why is our Rui’er blushing so easily?” Cao Mi mocked again, pretending to be distressed.
Qi Rui was so amused by her that she couldn’t stand it anymore. She took a small step back and said, “Mother… I’ll do it myself!”
Cao Mi smiled and nodded, and handed the small bottle containing the white jade paste to him.
She turned her head and was about to take the twins down to change clothes, but saw a scene that made her angry.
“Qi An, Qi Ran!” Cao Mi gritted his teeth, “What are you doing?”
Taking advantage of the moment when Cao Mi was teasing Qi Rui, the two bear children found the gift that Cao Mi was going to bring to Mrs. Qin.
For the birthday ceremony, she prepared two copies, one was for the eldest son of the Qin family, which were books and papers produced by Sifang Bookstore.
The other copy was to be given to Mrs. Qin and the ladies of the Qin residence. Cao Mi chose the latest mouth grease and skin care products developed by Zhou Xue.
After all, these things were already preparing for mass production. Zhou Xue was leading the village refugees who had nothing to do in the winter, so Cao Mi decided to take this opportunity to send out a few bottles.
If things can get the approval of these noble ladies, then there will be no worries in the future!
At this time, her packaged box of mouth grease was turned over by the twins, and Qi Ran’s lips were already covered with bright red rouge.
