The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"What's not serious about it? Everything I said is true." Gu Yin let go of her hand and glanced at Zhenzhu.

Pearl thought about what happened before she came out and guessed, "Miss, do you want to make facial cream?"

"Guessed it right!"

"Miss, can you make facial cream?" Pearl exclaimed.

"Maybe, maybe it's possible." Gu Yin said deliberately, holding up his chin.

"What do you mean by maybe? Miss, can you do it or not?" Pearl looked at Gu Yin's leisurely appearance and was so anxious that she wanted to go up to her and shake her a few times.

Gu Yin stopped teasing her and smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, you see we spent nearly a thousand taels of silver, this won't work, right?"

Pearl thought to herself that it was not her money, but when she confirmed that the young lady really knew how to make facial cream, her heart instantly surged with excitement, thinking that the young lady was going to make a lot of money again.

You have to know that in the Daji Dynasty, the recipe for making facial cream was only in the hands of a few people. Unlike in later generations, you can find any recipe you want on the Internet.

As soon as the two stepped into the yard, Xue exclaimed: "Yin'er, what did you buy? So much!"

"Good stuff." Gu Yin replied casually, dodging Xue's hand that wanted to help, "Mom, it's not heavy, I can do it."

"Miss, are you going to start now?" Pearl's eyes sparkled brightly and her tone was excited.

"What?" Xue was curious.

"Mom, I plan to try making a facial cream." Gu Yin confessed honestly. Since they lived in the same courtyard, this matter could not be hidden.

Xue was naturally surprised again. After asking clearly, she said, "Do you need mother's help with anything?"

"Mom, you just take care of the Nishang Pavilion's affairs, I'll take care of these." Nishang Pavilion has already bought a shop, and Xue has hired a few embroiderers, who are busy making clothes and are striving to launch a batch before the New Year.

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell mother." Xue smiled gently and let Gu Yin toss on her own.

"Don't worry." Gu Yin put her hands on Xue's shoulders and pretended to push her away.

"You kid." Xue chuckled and didn't stay any longer.

Seeing Xue leave, Zhenzhu lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Miss, if you need any tools, I'll get them."

"Well...then go get the pestle and mortar, and we'll grind the herbs into powder first." Gu Yin

"Okay." Pearl quickly prepared everything.

Put the things on the table in the main hall. Gu Yin was a little excited because she hadn't ground anything for a long time. She opened the medicine bag, added Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica into the stone mortar, and started to tinker with it.

Half an hour later...

"No, no, this is not a job for a human being at all." Gu Yin slumped on the chair, exhausted both physically and mentally, and said weakly.

Zhenzhu squatted beside Gu Yin, kneading her wrists and smiling secretly with her head down.

"Are you laughing at me..." A faint voice sounded above Pearl's head.

"No way." Pearl denied it.

"Hmph, dare you raise your head?"

"Miss, let me help you grind it." Zhenzhu decisively changed the subject.

Gu Yin snorted. This girl was becoming less and less afraid of her. However, she was really out of strength now. After pounding for an hour, she only managed to grind out a little bit of powder. It made her doubt her life.

"Forget it, this pestle and mortar is too small, don't waste your energy." This thing is fine for grinding small amounts of medicine, but for someone like them who is planning to produce in large quantities, using such a small pestle and mortar, it would take who knows how many days just to grind the powder, so forget about making any money.

"What should we do then?" Pearl frowned, a little worried.

"Is there a big stone mortar? It's used to pound rice flour or something like that." Gu Yin remembered that she seemed to have seen one in the countryside when she was a child, so there should be one here as well.

"There is a rice pestle, but the pestle is very big, and I, I can't swing it for a few times." Zhenzhu felt a little guilty, as if she could not help the young lady.

"It seems so..." Gu Yin pondered for a moment, and suddenly sat up straight, "Let's go, grab the things, and go to the farm."

"Why are you going there?" Pearl asked, but her hands did not stop and she started to pack up the things on the table.

"There is a water mill over there." Gu Yin winked and said with a smile.

"Oh..." Pearl suddenly realized, but after looking at the sky, she hesitated and said, "But Miss, it's already 3 p.m., isn't it too late to go now?"

Gu Yin slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I am so busy, I will go tomorrow."

Not long after, Gu Chenshuo came back carrying a small bag.

"Brother, you're back." Gu Yin has now naturally accepted his identity and integrated himself into this family.

"Well, are you still okay at home?" Gu Chenshuo looked at his increasingly outstanding sister, raised the corners of his lips and responded softly.

"I'm fine." Gu Yin said, and then stepped forward and took Gu Chenshuo's small bag. "Show me what books you are reading?"

Gu Chenshuo did not let go, but directly put the bundle on the table, opened it and said lovingly: "Can you recognize words now?"

"That's right. Don't you see who your sister is?" The Daji Dynasty used traditional Chinese characters. When Gu Yin first came here, she couldn't understand many of the characters. However, after she studied hard, she recognized them very quickly.

"What do you want to see?" Gu Chenshuo chuckled, his handsome face full of tenderness.

Gu Yin picked up a book, "University"...

Not interested in.

Pick up another book, "Spring and Autumn Annals"...

Still not interested.

"Brother, does your teacher usually only teach the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Yes, the questions for the imperial examination are all based on these." Gu Chenshuo nodded.

"Wouldn't it be boring to read the same content over and over again?" Gu Yin was quite puzzled. There were only a few books that he could recite by heart from elementary school to adulthood. What else was there to study?

"How could that be? The contents of these books are very profound. Every time I read them, I have different feelings, and occasionally I can comprehend new things." Gu Chenshuo explained patiently that it was normal for his sister not to be interested in these things because she did not have to take the imperial examination.

Gu Yin really couldn't understand it. It was difficult for her to calm down and study this kind of book seriously. In the past, she preferred traditional novels because they had a story, which made her want to read on.

"Can you show me the article you wrote?" Gu Yin blinked and looked at Gu Chenshuo.

Gu Chenshuo couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his sister's hair. It was soft and smooth, and he felt satisfied: "Of course."

As he spoke, he took out a test paper from his bag and handed it to Gu Yin.

"Good calligraphy!" Gu Yin was impressed by Gu Chenshuo's handwriting at the first sight of the paper. The strokes were vigorous and powerful, giving people a sense of calmness. It was true that the handwriting reflected the person.

"You also know calligraphy." Gu Chenshuo smiled heartily.

"Who are you looking down on?" Gu Yin raised her chin and snorted. Although her calligraphy was not very beautiful, she still appreciated it.

"How dare you?"

Gu Yin then began to read the article carefully, and looked up after a while: "Brother, the article is well written."

Gu Chenshuo felt a little proud of being praised. The teacher had also praised his writing skills many times.

Before Gu Chenshuo could finish his joy, Gu Yin added, "But your point is not clear enough."
