Chapter 438 - 158: Shopping
Yueyao waited for the materials to arrive and then had Xi Yu start to grind and mix them.
Bai Yi said gracefully, "Miss, you’re only ten years old, the prime time for your complexion to be good, no need for facial masks." Even without them, Yueyao’s complexion was rosy. Well, she had gotten a bit tanned from the sun, but as long as
Yueyao merely smiled gently, "I have a sense of measure."
Having spent over a month together, Bai Yi knew Yueyao was the kind of person who, once she made up her mind, wouldn’t let others easily change it, so she didn’t try to persuade her further.
When Yueyao had prepared the mix, it wasn’t for her own use, but for Nanny Hao. Nanny Hao was forty-six this year, looking older than her peers possibly because she’d been through more in life, which was precisely why Yueyao wanted her to try it, to prove the prescription’s practicality if it showed results.
Nanny Hao herself wouldn’t have chosen to use it, reasoning that someone halfway into the grave hardly needed such vanity. But as it was Yueyao’s order, she treated it as a task to be accomplished.
Bai Yi laughed, "Miss, I thought you were going to use it yourself!"
Yueyao shook her head, "Just as you said, I’m at my best age, I’m youthful and beautiful even without such things. If I avoid the sun, I can lighten my skin back again." Her mere tanning by the sun without turning charred black was testament enough to her fine skin.
Bai Yi couldn’t help but giggle; the idea of a ten-year-old girl declaring herself youthful and beautiful seemed quite peculiar!
Yueyao wanted to lease out the shop, which meant giving notice to the shopkeeper and then taking inventory. Originally, she wanted someone else to handle it, preferring not to show up herself. Whatever the stock count was, she wouldn’t quibble over the details.
