Chapter 182 -75: Sheep Milk_2

Yueyao smiled gently, “There’s a rumor that the great beauty Xi Shi bathed in sheep milk from a young age, which is why she grew up to be a beauty renowned throughout the land. Moreover, ‘Wei Book’ records ‘frequent consumption of sheep milk makes the complexion as fair as a virgin.’ This means drinking sheep milk regularly not only whitens the skin but also delays aging, making a thirty-four-year-old look as beautiful and charming as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.”

Yuebing was stunned, “Is that really true? How come I’ve never heard of it?”

Yueyao explained with a smile, “Although sheep milk is very beneficial, it has a fatal flaw, which is its strong goaty smell. Many people, let alone drink it, would feel nauseous just by smelling it. So although sheep milk is very effective, there are not many who can stomach it.”

Yuebing was somewhat disappointed, “So that means it’s virtually useless.” She had been tempted when Yuehuan said that daily consumption of sheep milk for washing one’s face and bathing could make the skin fair and smooth like jade. But if it had a strong goaty smell, she definitely couldn’t stand it.

Yuehuan only had admiration for Yueyao’s extensive knowledge and talent, regardless of whether Yueyao was reborn or not. Just for this knowledge alone, few could match her, and from the conversation just now, she felt Yueyao was subtly supporting her.

Seeing Yuebing’s disappointed look, Yuehuan quickly said, “Second sister, actually, it’s quite easy to remove the goaty smell of sheep milk. Just add a bit of jasmine tea when boiling the sheep milk, and the smell can be removed. Moreover, the sheep milk prepared this way will have the fragrance of jasmine, making it very delicious.”

Yuehuan deliberately mentioned the benefits of sheep milk’s beautifying and nourishing properties after hearing Yuebing complain on the way here about her skin being dry and her disappointment with her cosmetics. Yuehuan had the idea to mention the benefits of sheep milk.

These days, Yueyao and Tinglun had been studying very late every day, which naturally required a lot of energy, needing nutritional supplements. However, snacks weren’t included in their allowance, and if they wanted some, they had to spend additional silver. Both their monthly allowances of silver and their maternal auntie’s savings were not ample enough to meet their needs, making their finances very tight. Today was also a spur of the moment idea, hoping Yuebing would initiate drinking sheep milk, so that both she and Tinglun could have sheep milk at every meal.

Thinking of this, Yuehuan couldn’t help but envy Yueyao when she looked at her rosy cheeks. In Lian Mansion, aside from the Old Madam and the Madam, only Yueyao had her own small kitchen with a kitchen maid, able to have whatever she wanted to eat prepared whenever she wanted. While she, along with her maternal auntie and brother, had to eat the nutrition-less dishes delivered from the main kitchen, and they were right in their growing phase needing more nutrients, which they had to pay for themselves. Their daily necessities were barely covered, let alone any extra nutritional supplements. Being daughters of the same mansion, the difference was so huge.

Yuebing was somewhat puzzled, “Third younger sister, fourth younger sister, is there any basis for what you said?” Yuebing trusted Yueyao more than Yuehuan. Not without reason, she acknowledged Yueyao was more intelligent than her and knew more, but she wouldn’t allow Yuehuan to outdo her.

Yueyao said with a smile. “Just try it and you’ll know. If it can remove the goaty smell, I’ll drink a cup of sheep milk at every meal.” If the book says drinking this is beneficial, then let’s give it a try. After experiencing so many twists and turns, Yueyao was very clear that a good body was more important than anything else.

Yuebing said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll talk to mother about it later.”

Yueying inappropriately said, “Third younger sister, sheep milk is also considered a meat dish, and you are currently in mourning, you shouldn’t drink it.”

Yuebing immediately became unhappy, “What are you talking about, eldest sister? Sheep milk is not the same as sheep meat. By your logic, should third younger sister also avoid eating eggs since chickens are also considered meat? Are you suggesting third younger sister should just eat vegetables every day?”

Yueyao looked at Yuebing somewhat surprised. Yuebing was actually defending her; had the sun risen from the west today? Such a big change had taken her by surprise.

In a moment of distraction, Yueyao quickly regained her thoughts. No matter what Yuebing wanted to do, she always had a counterstrategy, sticking to her principle of responding to all changes with constancy.

Yueying murmured, “I was just kindly reminding her.” She had seen Yueyao constantly mentioning mourning and was afraid that consuming sheep milk might ruin her efforts.

Yuebing said with a smile, “I know eldest sister means well for third younger sister.” After speaking, she saw Yueyao looking pensive at her, which made Yuebing feel quite uncomfortable. Her behavior today was actually at the behest of Nanny Wang, who had asked her to get along well with her sisters.

As the legitimate daughter, Yuebing’s signals of wanting to improve relations, naturally Yueying and Yuehuan cooperated. Yueyao remained the same, indifferent, neither distant nor close, causing Nanny Wang some frustration.
