Doctor Wu came from Liucheng very quickly, and also brought letters from Chu Cheng and Dong Zhen.
They all complain about the heavy workload and want to be rich and idle at home.
According to their thinking, it is very tiring to attend classes in the Imperial College now, and wouldn't it be even more painful to go to the Imperial College.
However, they only dared to talk about these words to Bai Jin and the others. If they were discovered by the elders in the family, they would have their legs broken without saying anything. Wouldn't they be forced to idle? There is no need for them to think about it. Xi thought.
Bai Jin pulled out the letter paper and wrote a bunch of vernacular words back to them eloquently. Most of them were clichés and ridicules between bad friends: If a young man doesn't work hard, the old man will be sad. If you don't learn well now, you may not be able to marry a wife when you grow up.
After writing it, seal it with wax, and wait for the people from the post station to come and take it with you.
The gossip was put to rest. Bai Jin stretched his waist and got down to business.
That is developing skin care products and cosmetics.
How exquisite can a woman be? She takes care of her whole body, not even a hair is spared, and even her nails need to be well maintained.
Bai Jin once saw a video on the Internet, saying that a woman insured her nails. Good guy, that's okay. Bai Jin was extremely shocked at that time.
Ordinary people should not be like this, but they also have basic skin care. Bai Jin knows that some students in their school have used baby cream and X-ray baby since childhood.
Doesn’t this prove that some skin care products are suitable for all ages?
After discussing with Dr. Wu, he simply started with an eyebrow pencil, then hired a craftsman, and finally made eyebrows that were delicate and satisfactory without hurting the skin.
Next is lip balm, which is lipstick. Unlike lip paper that is particularly easy to fade and requires you to lick your lips to get a bright red color, this lipstick is gently twisted out of the tube and applied to the lips to instantly improve their complexion.
There is also no makeup cream, which is the most basic base. Bai Jin didn't know much about makeup, so he could only rely on the system to give him Baidu, and then he studied hard to read and exchange prescriptions.
The most indispensable thing in ancient times was manpower, so lipstick made from cochineal insects, which was very expensive in modern times, could be made infrequently at this time.
It can even solve the employment problem of some female brothers, allowing them to breed and engage in production, etc. In other words, a group of talents must be cultivated.
Sure enough, money is not that easy to make, and now he can only carry out this project in the capital.
Bai Jin collapsed on the bed. When he turned around, he could see Zuo Anli sitting in front of the window, holding a book and reading silently. A few strands of slender hair fell on his chest, and the young man's profile was also clear and noble.
He hugged the quilt and rubbed the pillow, as if just looking at Zuo Anli could calm down his irritable mood.
In fact, apart from the research and development and leading people that need to be taken care of by Bai Jin personally, there is no need to worry too much about anything else.
Zuo Anli was happy to accompany him, give him ideas, and share some of the busy work. He would also comfort Bai Jin: "I'm probably like a man who lives on a soft diet. I rely on my wife's hard work. How can I do it if I don't do my best?" What?"
Bai Jin rushed over and hugged him, "No, without Anli's support, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Even if manpower was cheap in ancient times, how could it be so easy to train someone from a young age?
If you don't talk about this, you just want to protect your own industry. Without some power and connections, anything you talk about in ancient times is meaningless. The reality is so cruel, there is no way around it.
Fortunately, we have overcome the previous difficult stage, and now we are waiting to try it out and recommend it.

Today, An Guogong's old lady sent out invitations, inviting ladies, ladies and brothers from various families to come and enjoy the flowers. This banquet included thousands of dollars from each family.
In fact, all the ladies know that this is the grandson of Duke An Guo who is looking for a marriage, and those who have girls of suitable age in each family can also bring him to see each other.
When young people are together, they can come out and relax.
Mrs. Zuo did not have a daughter at home, but she was invited to go there. Zuo Erlang was not old yet, so he could take her to see the world and play with her former close friends.
I heard that the princess will also come this time, but An Guogong is the uncle of the little princess and he is also young. It is to give their family face, and there is no other meaning.
Of course Mrs. Zuo's purpose was not this, she was entrusted by her future daughter-in-law.
In fact, even if Bai Jin didn't specifically ask Mrs. Zuo to say a few kind words for him, would those ladies still hold back and not ask after seeing her changes?
When she first tried the bottles and jars, she immediately fell in love with them, and she was more satisfied with them than any jewelry.
Let's put it this way, if Mrs. Zuo was given a choice between County Magistrate Zuo and cosmetics back then, she would definitely choose cosmetics without hesitation.
Look at this applied to her face. According to Bai Jin's face, she instantly looks as if she is more than ten years younger. It is no exaggeration to say that standing in front of her elder brother, she is like his elder sister.
Especially the skin care products called mud mask and essence cream. After using them for a few days, she felt that her skin was much more delicate and smooth.
There are green trees and green vines, and the wind is swaying.
Wu Nong's soft laughter among the ladies was instantly suppressed, as if they were being strangled by the neck.
The lady who was sharing her enthusiasm couldn't help but wonder. She followed the gazes of several people, but she also fell into the same symptoms as those ladies.
Mrs. Zuo is growing lotuses every step of the way, her smile is gentle and virtuous, and her behavior is elegant and graceful. She is as beautiful and moving as she was when she was not married.
As beautiful as she was when she was young!
Anyone who knows her will not be surprised, her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.
A sharp-eyed lady can tell that she wears heavy makeup and light makeup, but this makeup is definitely just right. Most people only think that Madam Zuo has drawn on her eyebrows, applied lipstick, or put on a little rouge. Can't see it anymore.
If you think about it for a while, you will know that makeup that can make people look younger is really that simple?
So a flower-viewing party was arranged for the younger generation to get married, but Mrs. Zuo became the protagonist. A particularly weird scene appeared - everyone, whether they knew her or not, came over to get close to Mrs. Zuo, hoping to find out the secret. Come.
Today's protagonist has been ignored by everyone, but the other party's family is not angry at all, their eyes are shining, waiting for Mrs. Zuo to share her situation during this period of time.
Who can care about the younger son's marriage when he can rejuvenate his youth and beauty? It's not like he won't be able to find one in the future.
As for regaining a new life, what should I do if I miss this village and lose this store?
Almost everyone present held this idea and listened carefully to Mrs. Zuo's sharing.
Mrs. Zuo didn't hide it, so she told everyone about the cosmetics shop opened by her elder brother Bai Jin, who was engaged to be married, and explained it to everyone with all her heart.
Everyone understood that she was here to advertise for her future daughter-in-law.
The effect must be significant, because Mrs. Zuo didn't just show off her makeup when she came today, she also specially brought cosmetics to them so that they could try them out and feel the effects for themselves.
Everyone was clamoring to try it first. In the end, the ladies with the highest status came first. Mrs. Zuo taught them to rub it on the back of their hands to see if there is any adverse reaction on the skin. If not, they can try their best. On the face.
When they first come into contact with skin care products, there are also psychological factors involved. Many ladies feel that they are radiant and seem to be four or five years younger.
Even if some people have a calm face, they still want to try it in their hearts.
Not to mention that only some older ladies want to try it, even those young girls and boys are just as eager to move and can't help but want to try it out.
The little princess is still young and can't stand the hustle and bustle of the ladies. Children are often born with beauty, and they haven't yet reached the age to appreciate beauty and ugliness.
She slipped out of the banquet and happened to meet Zuo Erlang who came out to take a breath.
Last year, Zuojiro's temperament changed dramatically after he met his brother and fell in love. He originally vowed that he would never like others, but today, he was slapped in the face.
The cute little girl with pink carvings and jade snow blinked her big grape-like eyes and pursed her lips in a smile.
Zuo Erlang: Suddenly he can understand his brother.

What happened at the flower-viewing banquet at Duke Anguo's Mansion also spread throughout the capital. There were many people and many servants that day. It was impossible to hide the matter, and now it is even talked about in the streets and alleys.
All the talk revolves around the novelty of cosmetics, which are carefully developed by Bai Jin and sought after by many ladies.
It can make a woman's skin become delicate and her person more beautiful. Just saying this sentence is enough to make people bump into each other and make their hearts flutter, even more excited than meeting their first love.
I heard that even the nobles in the palace use this cosmetic.
Moreover, some men who feel that their appearance is not good enough are also using it, but they feel that it is not decent for men to apply powder after all, so they have been using it secretly and privately, and will not let others know except for those close to them.
Calculating this base number, there must be a lot of people using it. And the price of these cosmetics is enough to put people from a small family intimidated.
Some people think sourly, isn't the Zuo family very rich? If you just marry a young man from the country, you can make a lot of money. There is really no comparison between people.
Bai Jin, who really made a lot of money, was not what they thought. Not only did he not stay in the room and count the banknotes and gold, but he was still sulking in bed.
The cause still lies with Zuo Anli.
The other party had already reached the age to get married, but he still hadn't gotten married. When I asked, I learned that he had already been engaged, and the person he was engaged to was Bai Jin, but why did he have to wait until he was 18 to get married.
A group of people couldn't help but murmur, and some people started a conspiracy theory, thinking that the Zuo family looked down on his little brother and were reluctant to let him get rich, so they deliberately delayed it.
And Zuo Anli was already sought after by the noble ladies in the capital, and some people even came to marry Zuo Anli deliberately with disgusting thoughts!
During this period of time, Zuo Anli had rejected no less than ten requests for in-laws, and even finally told the Zuo family to close the door with a cold face.
Bai Jin knew that he shouldn't argue with the other party about this matter, and those who deliberately talked about marriage were not doing it for the benefit of their children, or just to take advantage and seek benefits, but he still couldn't help but feel bad about it.
In addition to his fiancé being constantly on the minds of others, he also had to guard against others attacking his shop, which was really exhausting both physically and mentally.
"Bang bang bang -" A soft knock on the door came, followed by Zuo Anli's voice that was so gentle that he was drowning.
"Qingnu, can I come in?"
Bai Jin got up from the bed in a panic, and kept arranging his clothes with his hands, "Wait, wait a minute!"
Zuo Anli heard the anxiety in his tone and raised his eyebrows slightly. , but waited patiently.
Worried that it would be bad to keep people waiting outside for a long time, Bai Jin opened the door in a panic. Except for his disheveled hair, which was still neat, his clothes were indeed messy.
"What are you doing in the house?" Zuo Anli stared at Bai Jin's red face, his eyes slightly dark.
Bai Jin touched his hot face and knew that the other party was thinking wrongly. Even the thin and white tips of his ears turned red for a while.
He had no choice but to take a pre-emptive strike and said aggrievedly: "You and I are engaged, but there are still so many people thinking about you. It's really a disaster."
Zuo Anli felt distressed and funny, pinched his nose, and led the person into the house. , lest he catch a cold in the cold wind outside wearing only a single coat.
"How can I control other people's thoughts, Qingnu?"
Bai Jin naturally knew it, but he still couldn't restrain his anger, "Who asked you to always show off in the market? Those noble ladies just caught you here alone. Did you see it?"
Zuo Anli surrendered with a bitter smile: "Qing Nu is wronging me. When I go out every day, I am at home and on the same line as the Imperial College, which is not as long as Qing Nu."
Bai Jin coughed. , "Is this so?"
Zuo Anli hugged the person in his arms and said softly: "If Qingnu is really worried, we will get married as soon as possible to avoid the temptations of those demons and monsters outside."
Bai Jin frowned: "Say yes You'll be eighteen when you're eighteen, and it won't be a good idea to change it in the morning or evening."
Zuo Anli kissed his red mouth, and the secret was successful. He smiled with crooked eyes, "Okay, when I get my name on the gold list, I can be fair. He happily married the young slave back home."
After a joke, he felt much better, especially with Zuo Anli's obvious preference, he really didn't have to worry about it.
"Our business is so big. I heard from His Highness the Crown Prince that someone has already written a letter to the emperor to tell me to change my household registration." Bai Jin said upset.
Liu Xuandu has already reached the age of going to court. Although this kind of thing is brought up to the court for discussion, he handles some unimportant official documents every day and always sees one or two.
This may be the benefit of having someone in the DPRK to handle affairs. Whether good or bad news, they can be informed of it as soon as possible.
Zuo Anli touched his smooth and shiny hair and muttered: "People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. We can't stop greedy people for long just by relying on us to support the cosmetics industry."
Even his mother's maiden Cui As a big family, everyone wants to get a share of the pie, let alone other people.
"What should we do?" Bai Jin asked worriedly.
Zuo Anli pinched his cheek and said, "Qingnu, you have forgotten again, who is the biggest in this world? Who can best protect your property?"
Bai Jin's eyes were bright, "It's the emperor!"
When he was happy, He kissed Zuo Anli on the chin as a reward.
Zuo Anli's eyes darkened, he picked him up, sat face to face, leaned down and kissed the soft lips that he thought about all day and night. He couldn't describe the specific taste, he only knew that it was sweet and soft, and he could taste it as much as he wanted. Grind for a long time.
Bai Jin felt a little pain from his bite, and he hummed unconsciously on the tip of his nose. His brows furrowed slightly, and his hands tightly grasped his sleeves, pulling out a few obvious wrinkles.
The boy's passion was still overwhelming, and the kiss continued for a long time.
