Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 135 The Rouge Shop Meets Li Wan
Beijing Dongcheng,

Inside the rouge shop,

Zhang Jinyu, who had been wandering in her heart, was interrupted by the proprietress before she could recover.

"Come on, Lord Hou, this is the best rouge in Jiangnan this year, with all kinds of fragrances."

The sudden words resolved the embarrassing atmosphere, and Zhang Jinyu quickly turned his gaze to the box in the proprietress's hand.

You’re not too polite, Zhang Jinyu directly took it over, opened the box, and saw small boxes of various styles inside, filled with foundations of various fragrances, yes, it was the foundation of the previous life, but the red one, after a long time of trouble, this thing is ancient cosmetics ah.

I can't tell the good from the bad, so I can only pretend to smell it. It smells good, but I can't tell anything except the smell.

You can only look at the price, you get what you pay for, and it’s right to buy expensive ones.

"How much silver is this box?"

The proprietress smiled when she heard it, and it was done.

"Hey, Lord Hou, I don't dare to ask for more. There are ten kinds of high-quality rouge in here, each of which is ten taels of silver. This box is a hundred taels of silver."

Before she finished speaking, the women around her gasped. It was so expensive. Seeing the reactions of the people around her, Zhang Jinyu's first thought was whether she had been cheated. She stared at her sternly, and the lady boss was frightened. With a jump, he quickly explained.

"Master Hou, women don't have the guts to lie to you. This is a specialty of Jinghu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River. The medium rouge is less than five taels of silver, and the inferior ones don't even need a tael of silver. This is the best. This price is even higher, if you don’t believe it, go ask, and this is an ordinary rouge, you can smell it.”

The proprietress quickly brought over two ordinary rouges and handed them over. Zhang Jinyu took them and opened them. She smelled them and found that they were not very fragrant. Then she checked the color and found that it was a bit dehydrated. Ancient cosmetics are so awesome. At first glance, it is not fake, but I still need to buy more, because there are several people in the family.

"Well, that's ok, how many other lady bosses are there?"

The proprietress didn't realize for a while, what was the meaning of this, it is possible to buy it, Zhang Jinyu saw that the proprietress didn't respond, so she asked again, and the proprietress smiled as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Hey, why don't you say it's Master Hou? Master Hou's store only has six boxes. This is a bit expensive so I don't dare to keep too much. Master Hou wants to buy them all?"

"Well, bring them here, I'll wrap them up,"

As soon as this remark came out, the women around all exclaimed, their eyes were full of light, and Li Wan was also surprised when he looked at this side. He was so rich outside the pass, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he bought things worth hundreds of taels of silver. Yes, it doesn't feel real.

The proprietress was also in a daze, she was shocked by Lord Hou's arrogance when she heard that she was going to buy them all, it really is rich outside this pass,

"Okay, okay, Lord Hou, please wait a moment, the servant will bring it for you."

After the proprietress finished speaking, she turned her buttocks and went to the back to get the goods, while Suyun beside Li Wan was a little anxious;
"Miss, what should I do? He has bought all the good rouge, so what about the rouge you are going to give to Miss Sanchun?"

Li Wan also frowned, looked up and saw that Luo Yunhou didn't care about it, he bought it for a few hundred taels of silver, this can't be said in terms of wealth and wealth, it is a symbol of power, but he promised Sanchun to buy Jiangnan for them Rouge, thinking of this is helpless, I feel a little anxious.

"Master Hou, I've been waiting for a long time. Here are six boxes of Jiangnan rouge. Each box contains ten small boxes with different tastes. Take a look."

Zhang Jinyu opened it and checked it one by one. It was ok and unambiguously took out six hundred taels of silver bills and threw them over. Thick bosom.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for the reward. You must come next time, Lord Hou. I will prepare more good goods for you after the spring of next year."

Seeing that big face, Zhang Jinyu felt a little disapproved of his laughter even though he was laughing, but he had to accept it, and asked the guard behind him to take the rouge box and prepare to leave.

"Okay, keep it for next year,"

"Okay, Lord Hou, you go slowly."

Zhang Jinyu nodded and was about to go out, but Li Wan couldn't hold back, so she yelled softly,
"Master Hou, wait a minute."

A clear female voice came, and the foot that was stepped out abruptly was retracted. Looking back, isn't it that pretty woman? My heart warmed, and I asked;

"Dare to ask the girl what's the matter?"

Li Wan blushed slightly, she was still a girl, Luo Yunhou couldn't tell.

"Master Hou, the mistress wants to ask Master Hou one thing, can you give me five small boxes of rouge, the mistress promised her little sister to give it to them."

It turned out to be this matter, unexpectedly it was also a warm-hearted elder sister, a trivial matter.

"Okay, this is a trivial matter. I have something urgent to do, so I won't charge you any money. I'll give you this box,"

Without waiting for Li Wan to speak, she directly took a box of rouge and stuffed it into Li Wan's arms. Li Wan hurriedly passed it on, Zhang Jinyu quickly withdrew her hand, and was about to leave unnaturally.

Li Wan, who was a little astonished, also forgot to thank him, seeing Hou Ye who had already left the house, said in a strange way;
"Master Hou, Li Wan, the granddaughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion."

Zhang Jinyu couldn't believe it when she heard it. Who, Li Wan turned out to be her, so beautiful, no wonder, what a pity.

"Understood, goodbye by fate."

The women all around looked at Li Wan with envy and hatred. Naturally, Li Wan knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, so he took Suyun to go back to Rongguo Mansion, but the strangeness in his heart was still lingering.

Zhang Jinyu went to the jewelry store on the other side without looking back. When she arrived at the jewelry store, the lady proprietress had already taken out the treasures from the store, but the news of Master Hou's big purchases in the store over there came over.

Zhang Jinyu came to the proprietress of the shopkeeper, picked up the jewelry and jade bracelets on the table, and looked at them. Although they were all high-quality goods, there was no gold hairpin from Old Brother Shen. In case, I forgot about it when I left in a hurry, I didn’t even look at it. too satisfied
"Shopkeeper, take out your treasures. Although these are high-quality goods, they are not worth it."

The proprietress's eyes widened. These are all high-quality goods worth more than a thousand taels, and this is not enough.

"Master Hou, this is a thousand tael high-quality goods, if you take it again, you won't be able to top it."

"What nonsense is that woman talking over there? Didn't you see Master Hou coming?"

The shopkeeper came directly to make amends, and pushed his wife aside.

"Master Hou, forgive me, country women don't be as knowledgeable as her."

How could Zhang Jinyu be so angry by such a trivial matter,
He waved his hand and asked,
"Shopkeeper, do you have any good items here? If you don't have this, you can leave."

"Yes, yes, Lord Hou, just wait a moment."

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, but he went back to the backyard. Zhang Jinyu's spirit was shaken, the good guy has met a treasure.

In the backyard of the shop, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that this is a good opportunity. If he can give away the things passed down from his ancestors, it will be worthwhile to find a future for his son. I have also asked someone to inquire about Luo Yunhou these days. Well, he seems like a good master.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to Luo Yunhou. The shopkeeper turned around and went into the inner room and took out an old box from the ground. It seemed to be old enough. He wiped the dust and dirt with brocade cloth, and hugged it went to the front.

While Zhang Jinyu was sitting there, thinking about what it was, a group of fat, green and thin women poured in from the door not far behind. They looked familiar. They were the women who bought rouge from the rouge shop. , They didn't buy it when they came in, they just looked over here not far away, Zhang Jinyu's forehead was sweating, there is still star chasing here.

After a while, the shopkeeper mysteriously brought an old box with age at first glance,
"Master Hou, this is a treasure handed down from my ancestors. It is said that it was from the palace of the former court. If I take it out this time, if Master Hou doesn't buy it, I will be in bad luck."

Zhang Jinyu heard the shopkeeper's embarrassment, and understood that this person was also taking risks, so she replied;

"Don't worry, as long as it's true, you can buy it if you need it. If someone asks you, you can directly report the name and say that I bought it, and I guarantee the safety of this shop."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately knelt down and thanked him.
"Your Majesty, be kind."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

After the shopkeeper got up, he took away all the sundries on the table, then opened the window, let Yang Guan shine in, and then carried the old box up. Seeing the shopkeeper's operation also aroused Zhang Jinyu's interest , it doesn't look like a vulgar thing, but it's unlikely to be a treasure like Dongzhu. It needs sunlight, but it's not sure, there are so many treasures in the world.

The shopkeeper took another piece of brocade cloth and carefully spread it on the table, then took out a sandalwood box from the old box. The proprietress also stared wide-eyed, she couldn't believe that her old man had such a treasure, but she didn't know why he was so strange.

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect this level, and she was looking forward to it. The shopkeeper took out the box and put it on the sunny side, slowly opened the box, and saw a rare purple jade bracelet, which was shining brightly under the sunlight. Sheng, radiant, and warm, very comfortable, there is also a faint mist rising on the surface, as if it is about to fly away, the artistic conception is rare in the world.

Everyone stared at the peerless treasure intently, and secretly swallowed their saliva, when they heard the shopkeeper's introduction there;

"Lord Hou, this object is said to be a rare purple chalcedony in the palace of the previous dynasty. It was carved by the master for three years. It is said that there was a thunderstorm when this jade bracelet was carved, and the treasure house where it was stored in the palace Destroyed, this thing is rare in the world, folklore, the emerald bamboo Dharma Body Bibotan, dew exquisite and transparent color light. The quality of the jade is unique, and when you meet the nobles, it is the description of this thing."

"Good baby. Really good baby, this is what I want!"

Zhang Jinyu praised bluntly.
