Chapter 1250 - 157 Conceal the Secret_3
Looking up and smiling at Lin Yuan, Lin Jiaxin put down the chisel in his hand, and with a wave of his other hand, he laughed, "Isn’t it your little sister who insisted that I carve a few small boxes for her? She even drew up the plans herself."
Xiao Linshuang’s?
Lin Yuan curiously picked up the drawing on the table and looked it over. Ignoring the quality of the drawing and the lines for the moment, it was the small round boxes depicted that felt strikingly familiar to her.
Picking up a small box that was already carved, Lin Yuan opened and closed the lid a couple of times before wrinkling her little nose and muttering, "Why does this look so much like a container for rouge and face powder?"
"Ha-ha, because that’s exactly what it’s for!"
Lin Jiaxin couldn’t help but smile at his eldest daughter, "Your sister said the boxes she bought for her rouge were too ugly, and wanted me to make some pretty ones for her. And so, she brought me the designs. Tsk tsk, that little girl—I’m not one to talk, but does her drawing really look better than those you can buy in the market?"
Thinking of Xiao Linshuang’s serious little demeanor when she had come to him, Lin Jiaxin couldn’t hide his smile. Each of his daughters was more promising than the last, and even the littlest knew how to fancy up!
While fiddling with the small box in her hand, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the herbs Xiao Linshuang and Lao Fan had been secretly working with in their room these past few days. Could it be that these two were making rouge and face powder? It seemed they were planning to break into the world of cosmetics!
Lin Yuan was never particularly interested in rouge and face powder, so she didn’t press the matter. She wrapped up the mirror frames that Lin Jiaxin had finished making with great care, and then moved them with Shui Xian to the horse carriage outside.
Yin Xing stayed behind at Yi Ran Residence to teach the young ladies about poise, and Lin Yuan didn’t trust anyone else with the mirror frames, so she decided to take them herself.
In addition to the mirror frames, she also took a good supply of Xuan paper from Lin Jiaxin, as well as some homemade charcoal pencils she used for drawing.
