Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 158 The Familiar Scream (Revised)
Jiang Miaomiao yawned.
I scrambled out of bed, ran out barefoot, and trotted around.
Then I saw Sister Qiao'er come in carrying her face wash water, small toothbrush and tooth powder.
She loves eating sweets, but she also loves brushing her teeth.
Back then, there were no dentists, and toothaches could be excruciating. All you could do was apply some herbal remedies, which were bitter and smelly, and you'd often end up swallowing them by accident, which was incredibly painful.
She dared not let her guard down.
When asked how she knew, she said she had secretly tasted it when her older brother applied it, and it tasted astringent and bitter.
Jiang Qiao'er watched the little girl clumsily rinsing her mouth, and she didn't know how to help her.
He carefully examined the small toothbrush in Miaomiao's hand.
When she was at home, she would chew willow twigs in the morning or rinse her mouth with salt water or tea.
There was also tooth powder and a round thing about the size of a goose egg on the side.
That's really strange; she's never seen anything like it before.
"Miaomiao, what are these?" Qiao'er asked as she helped the little girl get dressed and comb her hair.
She always felt that this little girl knew a lot, and that the things she ate, used, and played with were different from other children.
"The toothbrush was made by my second brother using a bamboo handle and pig bristles. The tooth powder was made by my mother using chicken tongue incense and other medicinal powders. After rinsing, my mouth smells nice. Sister Qiao, do you smell it?" The little girl said, bringing her little mouth close.
"It smells good, of course it smells good." It smells milky and creamy.
Qiao'er gave her a big kiss on her rosy cheeks; the little one looked so adorable that it melted everyone's heart.
"Then what is this?" Jiang Qiao'er picked up the round thing from the plate.
I took a sniff, and it smelled milky and sweet, with a hint of floral fragrance.
"These bath beans are made by my mother using pollen and milk powder. They can make your skin whiter after washing with them!" These are the bath beans that my mother improved.
Making soap was quite difficult for her, so we modified some ready-made bath beans.
At that time, bath beans were made according to the recipe in "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces". The medicinal materials alone were more than a dozen or twenty kinds, which were very precious and could not be afforded by ordinary people.
Now that the family is well-off, my mother still thinks it's too extravagant, especially since there are so many children in the family.
They reduced the amount of medicinal materials, such as musk and eagle droppings.
Children's skin is delicate and not suitable for products containing medicinal powder.
I made a children's version, but only the soybean powder made from soap pods was processed into soap, while retaining the melon seeds, peaches...
At Miaomiao's request, goat milk, peach blossoms, and pear blossoms were added, and large-sized bath beans were made.
Jiang Qiao'er liked it very much. She picked it up and smelled it from all sides, trying to figure out what was inside.
This thing is extremely precious; it's only used by wealthy families. Even though she has money now, she can't bear to buy it. If only she could make it herself.
Then the little girl ran out and into her bedroom, where she opened the bamboo basket on the table.
Holding a bath bean, she said, "Sister Qiao, this is what Mother prepared for you. These are all."
Jiang Miaomiao pointed to the toothbrush, tooth powder, face cream, and rouge in the bamboo basket.
It was right there in her room, but she didn't even open it to look at it. Her mother must have gone out and didn't have time to tell her.
Sister Qiao smiled sheepishly, her eyes gleaming. There was no reason for a master to rummage through other people's things when visiting someone else's home.
But my aunt is really thoughtful and capable.
I must learn how to make these bath beans and toothbrushes from my aunt and Yan-ge'er another day, so I can open a shop...
The young girl thought about it and felt it was too audacious; she didn't have the ability to open a shop.
Jiang Miaomiao looked around the yard.
"Sister Qiao, where did Mother and Aunt go?"
She fell asleep after hearing that last night.
Her mother and aunt chatted for too long, and she only vaguely remembered that her sister Qiao'er was being forced into marriage and had to become a nun.
She was forced into marriage at the young age of fifteen or sixteen.
She had intended to go over and comfort Sister Qiao, but found that she had already sat down at the dressing table and started tinkering with her cosmetics.
They even put a beauty mark on her forehead.
"Auntie and Aunt Xiuxiu went to the Cui family next door. Can I take you with me?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded.
It seems that the forced marriage didn't affect Qiao'er too much; at least she could eat and sleep well, and still had the energy to deal with cosmetics.
She's a carefree girl.
But before they could even rejoice for a moment, a maidservant came to report, "Miss Jiang, a lady has arrived at the house, saying her surname is Qin..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao'er's expression changed drastically. She suddenly stood up and almost knocked over her makeup box.
He said to the maid, "Tell her I'm not in the mansion."
She's already hiding here, why is she still haunting us? Does she want us to die?
Are we really going to force her to become a nun?
The maid pursed her lips. "Please rest assured, Miss. The master instructed us before leaving that he would not reveal your whereabouts. I just came to let you know."
Jiang Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
Then I became a little worried.
"If she comes and can't find me, won't it cause trouble for my aunt?"
After all, she was an official's wife, and even the county magistrate had to treat her with utmost respect.
The maidservant said respectfully, "Miss, don't worry. I've already sent someone to invite the master from next door. Please rest assured and stay here."
The maid who spoke was named Haitang. She was a first-class maid specially selected by the old lady of the Cui family. She was quite mature in her speech and actions. When Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu were not at home, she was the one who took care of everyone in the mansion.
Haitang's words reassured Qiao'er considerably.
Jiang Miaomiao raised her little head, "Sister, I want to go and see."
She wanted to see just how shameless Madam Qin was!
She is, after all, the hostess. When guests come to visit, she should go and see them. Yes, one should still show hospitality.
Before Haitang could reply, the little girl ran out.
Qiao'er wanted to chase after her, worried that Miao Miao would get hurt.
But what Haitang was worried about was Madam Qin and Qin Liulang. If the little rascal dared to pour soup on a princess's head, what else wouldn't he dare to do?
She quickly stopped Jiang Qiao'er, "Miss, please don't go out. Leave the outer courtyard to me."
Jiang Miaomiao rode the little white wolf and soon arrived at the hall.
When they reached the door, the little white wolf lay down to make it easier for her to get down.
Inside the house, Madam Qin and Qin Liulang were drinking tea when they suddenly saw a large white wolf walking towards them through the door, which terrified them.
The two were so startled that they jumped up and dropped their teacups.
"Ah...wolf..."
"Wolf...wolf...help..."
Jiang Miaomiao looked at the people in the room with a smile, and only after they finished calling out did she step inside, holding onto the door frame.
Climbing onto the armchair opposite them, Jiang Xiaobai quietly squatted down beside her.
Qin Liulang drew the dagger from his waist and stared nervously at the child and wolf opposite him.
Haitang heard the familiar scream from afar and quickened her pace.
