Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Madam, since Liu Lu is so smart, I think we can find an opportunity to make her one of us.” Tang Dongfeng said, somewhat wanting her talent.

“If you have a way to do it, I’ll give you credit. I’ll give you a big red packet during the New Year.” Ye Muyu drank the last mouthful of tea and felt even hungrier.

She also understood Tang Dongfeng’s personality. It was better to give him money than New Year’s goods.

Sure enough, Tang Dongfeng was amused. He cupped his hands and said, “Madam, then I won’t stand on ceremony. I will definitely complete this mission well.”

Tang Dongfeng bade farewell and left.

Ye Muyu waved her hand and called for breakfast.

Ye Muyu felt much better after eating the hot breakfast. She rinsed her mouth and got up. She walked out of the hall and asked, “Where are Chu Heng, Ziluo, and Lil’ Jin?”

“Madam, Young Master and Young Miss are playing with the snow in the front yard. Master is practicing his sword.”

“Practicing the sword?” Ye Muyu paused. Instead of going to the front yard, she went back to the backyard and took out a wooden box from the closet.

Su Mei and Su Lan quickly went to help.

“Madam, what do you need?”

“I remember that there is some leather inside. I want to make some gloves, knee pads, and hats.”

Su Mei and Su Lan took a small stool and sat at the side. They took out all the leather inside.

“Madam, this white leather is very beautiful.” Su Mei took out a piece of fox fur. There was not a trace of impurity on it. It was obviously of good quality.

Ye Muyu reached out and touched it. “It’s quite big. I’ll use it to make a scarf.” She thought of Chu Heng setting off for the capital. The further north he went, the colder it became. The winter in the north was incomparable to that in the south.

However, the air in the north was dry. As long as he wore thicker clothes to resist the cold, he would feel a little better. He did not have to worry about the cold feeling in his bones.

Everything was focused on keeping out the cold.

In the following month, Ye Muyu guided Su Mei and Su Lan to make leather clothes.

Not only did she have to prepare clothes for Chu Heng, but also for the coachman and the guard who followed along.

In addition, Ye Muyu also made a face mask. If there was a strong wind on the road, it was necessary to cover your mouth.

The New Year atmosphere was getting heavier.

This morning, Ye Muyu was arranging for Butler Luo to prepare the New Year’s goods.

Tang Dongfeng came again.

“Madam, the Yu family’s rouge shop is selling lip balm.” The air was filled with white fog as he spoke. Although it was cold, the Yu family’s actions made him burn in anger.

“These are the new New Year lip balms that the Yu family released today. They are bright red and many young ladies like them. Many maids from rich families are waiting at the door, waiting to open their shops to buy them.”

“These are the two models I bought. Madam, please take a look.”

Ye Muyu took the two cosmetic boxes in her hands. The lip balms were also in beautiful ceramic jars.

She stretched out her finger and smeared a little on the back of her hand.

Tang Dongfeng was shocked and subconsciously reached out to stop her. “Madam, there is indeed some medicine in this lip balm. After using it for more than one or two months, the skin will slowly dry up. It will still cause some damage to the skin. Madam, it’s better not to use it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“The color is very similar to ours, but the texture is more moist. Perhaps it’s prepared for some customers with dry skin. No wonder.” The winter was dry, and the more moist the lip balm was, the better it sold.

In Ye Muyu’s cosmetics shop, it was also the skin care cream that was more popular.
