In short, the scene was very lively and looked very realistic.

By the time all the tools were ready and the medicinal powder had been ground, even the spring water brought from the farm was boiled and cooled, and the purchased liquor, along with the other things before, was all transported into the specially designated quiet room.

The old lady washed her hands and face, put on clothes that were convenient for working, and covered herself with a plain robe. She also wrapped her head and face with a plain scarf, and she looked spotless.

The old lady dressed like this went into the quiet room alone.

She was fiddling with the materials in the room, while outside the door was guarded by Madam Jiao and two maids.

Madam Jiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and she watched with eager eyes, as if she would shoot down any flying insect that passed by.

This is the old lady’s secret recipe that she doesn’t pass on to others. We can’t let outsiders learn it secretly!

Of course, whether this secret recipe was brought from her mother's home or obtained in a dream, only the old lady knew it.

It was almost evening before the old lady came out of the quiet room.

Aunt Su pretended to hand over a few things to Aunt Jiao.

"These two medicine bottles, one contains pills, the other contains ointment. This larger bottle is for washing your face. The piece of plain cloth in the food box is called a facial mask. It must be made fresh every day and cannot be used again after use."

Everyone has taken and used pills and ointments, so there is no need to explain them in detail.

As for how to use facial cleansers and facial masks, Aunt Su will have to teach you a little bit.

She called Sumei over, and in front of Sumei, Aunt Su asked Aunt Jiao to wash her face with the facial cleanser.

He also put a piece of experimental mask that he had prepared long ago on Aunt Jiao's face.

Everyone had never seen such a thing before. When they saw that Aunt Jiao's originally yellow, black and wrinkled face had turned completely white, with only her eyes, nose and mouth showing, they were surprised and then started laughing.

"Madam Jiao, how does this facial mask made with ginseng and pearl powder feel?"

"It must be refreshing and cool, and comfortable!"

"Oh, this... facial mask, I'm afraid it's worth more than half a tael of silver! It's enough for half a table of food!"

Amidst the laughter and joy, Aunt Su asked someone to light a stick of incense.

"You only need to keep this mask on your face for the time it takes to stick up an incense stick. Any more or less will not be good."

Su Mei nodded nervously to indicate that she had taken note of it.

Aunt Su also told her some things to pay attention to.

"Before washing your face, you should clean your hands first, preferably under running water, and the water should be warm water that has been boiled and cooled."

"Use this facial cleanser on your face and rub it gently for a few dozen breaths before washing it off with warm water."

"Apply this mask after cleansing your face and remove it after one stick of incense."

"The mask you remove is stained with dirt and oil from your face and is no longer clean. You must not use it again. You can either burn it or bury it."

"You must not keep this mask overnight. It will go bad overnight. No matter how valuable it is, you can't be stingy on it."

As he spoke, a stick of incense slowly burned out.

"Ah! The incense stick has arrived!"

"Madam Jiao, take it down quickly!"

Aunt Jiao peeled off the cold, wet cloth on her face, and it felt like she was peeling off a layer of skin.

Many pairs of eyes were staring at Aunt Jiao's face. Aunt Jiao coughed uncomfortably and looked at Aunt Su.

"Madam, is this okay?"

Aunt Su told the little girl to take the used facial mask cloth and "take it to the kitchen and burn it."

At this point everyone had heard what had happened before, so they didn't feel it was a pity that the cloth worth half a tael of silver was burned like that.

"Everyone, take a look. Is Madam Jiao's face any different from before?"

Since the old lady asked questions, everyone naturally praised her for a while.

“It seems to be a lot brighter!”

"I look a little whiter."

"The wrinkles have smoothed out a bit, haven't they?"

Everyone praised her so much that Aunt Jiao couldn't help but reach out and touch her old face... It seemed that it was a lot softer than before.

There was even a little maid holding a mirror so that Madam Jiao could look at herself.

Aunt Su took out another small bottle and gave it to Aunt Jiao.

"The ointment in this bottle is much less effective than the one sent to the Ji family. It only has moisturizing effect. Give this bottle to Madam Jiao. Apply some on your face after washing it every day."

Aunt Su also taught Aunt Jiao how to apply facial rouge.

While teaching, he told Su Mei, "This is how to apply the ointment. After we go to the Ji Mansion, I will teach it to Miss Ji II."

Of course, the facial mask she used on Aunt Jiao was different from the one sent to the Ji family.

What was sent to the Ji family was a human protein facial mask, but the one for Aunt Jiao was one she made herself by soaking plain cloth in various medicinal powders and water.

Otherwise, the cost of facial masks introduced from modern times would be so high. Although Aunt Jiao's complexion is a little yellow and dark, there is no problem. There is no need to use such strong repairing products.

Madam Jiao said with a smile, "Then this old slave will suffer!"

As he said this, he followed the old lady's instructions and applied the ointment on his face.

Although it is a plaster, it is white and has a fragrance. After it was evenly applied, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"Ah! Madam Jiao seems to have turned pale!"

"It is true!"

"Madam Jiao is lucky today!"

There are so many people here, is it possible that no one else has a face?

Everyone can contribute and set an example for the old lady!

Aunt Jiao looked at herself in the mirror, and she was so beautiful. "It seems that she has become really white! The skin has also opened up!"

"This old lady's recipe is truly miraculous!"

Aunt Su smiled and said, "Of course it's a good recipe. If it doesn't work, I wouldn't dare give it to my daughter-in-law, right?"

He also instructed Su Mei to get on the carriage and rush to the Ji family to deliver the medicine.

Although Su Mei was the eldest maid serving the old lady, this was the first time she was sent out of the house by the old lady to do some work. She was nervous and excited, and she went over what she had learned before in her mind several times.

Even after getting off the carriage and entering the Ji family, he was still muttering to himself.

After all the things were delivered and she was taught how to use them, Su Mei got on the carriage driven by Qian Lao San and headed towards Qingshui Lane.

When she came back, she naturally did not come empty-handed. The Ji family brought her a lot of food, including four boxes of snacks and four boxes of cooked food.

Aunt Su asked the servants to divide it up.

Sumei and Aunt Jiao contributed the most, so they each got a whole box.

Meanwhile, in the Ji family, Mrs. Ji, the second Miss Ji, Mama Yang and other servants were staring in amazement at the large and small bottles filled with water, creams and masks.

It doesn't matter if it's a big bottle or a small bottle.

The doctors who were hired to treat the face had also prescribed various powders and ointments.

But the water specially used for washing face and the facial masks delivered freshly every day really shocked them.

The two maids who had been called in earlier to test the medicine for the second young lady followed Su Mei's instructions and washed their hands and faces first. They used the facial cleanser to apply a few points on their faces, rubbed them gently, and washed them clean...

But there is only one mask, who should I let try it?

The second girl who had been watching on the side couldn't help but speak up, "They don't need to try this mask."
