Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life

All her enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. Jiang Mingwei slowed down her pace and looked at her aggrievedly.

"Why don't you believe it? Are you so unconfident about your young lady?"

This was the first time that this little girl refuted her expressionlessly. Jiang Mingwei felt very hurt!

Hua Cui pulled Jiang Mingwei over to prevent her from being knocked down by pedestrians on the road, and said helplessly: "Miss, the imperial concubine is behind Xingxianglou. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as a country, so Xingxianglou's business is so good."

"Young lady wants to open a rouge shop. Hua Cui certainly agrees. However, it may not be easy to make the business better than Xingxianglou! And if it attracts too much attention, it may attract the attention of the imperial concubine."

The incident of falling off the cliff has made Hua Cui like a frightened bird.

No matter who wants to kill whom, Hua Cui doesn't want her young lady to be in danger again, so she warned: "If the master was still alive, it would be fine. Now that the master is gone, the eldest master is unreliable."

"Miss, please be careful!"

Hearing that she said this because she was worried about her, Jiang Mingwei felt much better and rubbed her head with a smile.

"My dear Huacui, just wait and see! Your young lady will definitely give you a surprise. Even if it doesn't replace Xingxianglou, it will at least be as prosperous as it!"

After saying that, he walked forward with a smile.

Hua Cui hurriedly followed and kept asking what the surprise was.

But Jiang Mingwei just smiled and said nothing.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to say it, but even if she says it, Hua Cui may not understand it.

After visiting Xingxianglou, she realized that there was no shortage of cosmetics in ancient times.

There are all kinds of them, and you can buy almost anything you need.

But obviously, there is something missing that is unique to modern times - cosmeceuticals!

No, there seems to be one, pearl powder.

It can not only make your complexion white and smooth, but also nourish your skin. It is really a rare good thing.

But pearl powder is expensive, and if you don’t have money, you really can’t afford it!

Apart from this, there is no product that can both put on makeup and nourish the skin at the same time.

But what if she did it?

When she goes back and studies carefully how to mix rouge, and then adds herbs that are beneficial to women's body and skin into the rouge and powder, will there be any unexpected magical effects?

The more Jiang Mingwei thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn't wait to go back and try it!

As expected, as soon as she returned to the general's mansion, she locked herself in the ear room again.

However, before starting to make breakfast, she had to first find out what was added to these rouge and powder, and break them down one by one. After writing down the raw materials they needed, all that was left was to find the materials and start making them.

But when she looked up, Jiang Mingwei found that it was already dark outside.

She called Hua Cui in.

"How long have I been in there and why is it dark?"

"It's been two hours, and I haven't eaten the tea and snacks I sent to the young lady."

Hua Cui sighed, her eyes distressed, "No matter what you do, Miss, you can't just ignore your own body!"

"I was so absorbed in my research that I forgot. I'll definitely do it next time."

Jiang Mingwei smiled with her eyebrows curved. She raised her hand to pinch her cheek, then picked up a piece of snack and put it into her mouth.

The crispy taste spread in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes in satisfaction...

On the second day, Jiang Mingwei put the compiled list in her arms, left the house with Hua Cui, and went straight to Renyifang.

The shopkeeper is very efficient.

When she arrived at Renyifang, the herbalists were already waiting for her.

When they saw Jiang Mingwei, they all greeted her.

Jiang Mingwei nodded as a response.

He found a chair and sat down, then looked up at everyone.

"Except for the one who found one, no one else has found the blueprint I gave you?"

Jiang Mingwei looked at the herbalist who had picked one of the herbs for him and asked the others.

Everyone lowered their heads with an unpleasant look on their faces and scratched the back of their heads, looking extremely embarrassed.

It seems that it was not found.

At five taels of silver per plant, she wasn't afraid that these people wouldn't try their best to look for it, unless they really couldn't find it.

"You have never paid attention to these herbs before, so it is normal that you cannot find them. Coincidentally, I know a place where these herbs grow, and as long as they are drawn on my drawings, they are all there."

Upon hearing this, the herbalist's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation, and he was eager to try it out. He couldn't wait to go.

Jiang Mingwei's expression remained calm as she gave the instructions calmly.

"But since I've told you the location, I won't charge you five taels of silver for each herb. That place is dangerous. If you're willing to go, I can still pay you five taels. No matter what herbs you pick, you can't return empty-handed. You must bring some herbs back to see me!"

"If I am not satisfied, I will not pay a penny. Do you have any opinions?"

She explained the pros and cons clearly, and told them to pay when they went, but they could not return empty-handed and they still had to help her search carefully.

For the herbalists, being in danger is a daily occurrence, so after hearing the news, they only remembered that Jiang Mingwei said she would give them five taels, and did not care at all where Jiang Mingwei wanted them to go.

"Please tell me, young lady. I am willing to go and bring back the herbs for you."

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

One call led to a hundred responses, and everyone was eager to go there immediately!

Jiang Mingwei nodded, and then told the herbalists about the valley where she and Wei Jing were.

"There is a way down to the valley, but it won't be easy. The forest is very deep, so you'd better stay in groups of two or three and remember not to get lost."

"There are wolves at night. When you go there, you can first look for this herb and form a circle to stop the wolves. But you still can't take it lightly. It's best to be safe!"

Jiang Mingwei then distributed the drawings of the silver bead grass to everyone, and also gave out drawings of several medicinal herbs that she planned to use to make cosmetics.

"The time is set for three days. I will meet you here in three days. If you bring enough herbs, maybe everyone will get extra rewards."

After giving them a few words of advice, he watched them leave.

Not to mention the extra rewards, even if they could earn five taels by finding herbs in three days, it would be enough to make them excited.

Therefore, everyone took brisk steps without any reluctance.

Seeing them walk away, the shopkeeper turned around and looked at Jiang Mingwei curiously.

Then she remembered that she had picked up a lot of medicine for internal injuries yesterday, so she couldn't help but ask carefully: "How did you know there were so many herbs under the cliff? Have you been there?"

Jiang Mingwei smiled at him and said, "I told you I dreamt about this. Do you believe me?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

He wanted to disbelieve it, but did he dare to say it?

After explaining this matter, Jiang Mingwei took Hua Cui to Xiangfen Street to buy the raw materials for rouge and powder.

As soon as you walk in, a burst of fragrance hits you in the face.

Some smell good, some are pungent, and when mixed together they make people dizzy...

After walking two or three steps forward, the spice merchant stopped Jiang Mingwei with a smile.

"Madam, do you need any spices? I have everything here, would you like to take a look?"
