Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 743 Is Your Surname Lu? (2 more)
Fucheng was busy with business, Wen Shun couldn't stay for too long, so she came back to make up for the New Year's Eve dinner, and packed up and left the next day.

Lu Yanqing followed him.

When we arrived, a batch of goods had just arrived in the shop, and two clerks were moving things in. Seeing Wen Shun, they hurriedly greeted Wen Shun with a smile, "Young master is here? Hey, where did you find this guy? He looks so handsome." !"

Wen Shun naturally couldn't tell others that he picked it up halfway, "Our relatives will leave after half a month after coming to play."

While saying that, he pulled Lu Yanqing up the steps, "You just stand here, and when the incense burns, I'll see if the effect is good."

Lu Yanqing didn't quite understand what he wanted to do, but he didn't say anything, just stood quietly outside the shop, watching the two guys come in and out carrying things.

Not long after, a woman passing by kept looking back at Lu Yanqing.

At this time, two young girls came in one after the other. The make-up in the front was exquisite, and the clothes on their body and hair were all expensive. The girl in the back was wearing a double bun, and her clothes were inferior to those in the front. Many, it is not difficult to see that it is a maid.

Seeing customers visiting, she put on a smile on her gentle face, skillfully took out a camphor wood painted rouge box, pointed to it and introduced: "This is the treasure of our family's town store, named 'Xianzi Yurong', the workshop I came here directly after I came out, eight taels and eight dollars, the absolute price of conscience, girl, why don't you think about it?"

The girl in Huafu obviously wasn't thinking about rouge, Wen Shun saw her glance towards Lu Yanqing outside the door from time to time.

The maid probably also noticed her lady's untimely gaffe, so she hurriedly stood up to divert meek's attention, "It's the first time I've seen a man selling rouge when I grow up. He looks like a brat, how can you tell the difference?" What is mouth fat, what is facial fat, and if you know the steps of women's makeup, you dare to come out and flirt, and what are the treasures of the store, and..."

The servant girl obviously looked down on Wenwen very much, and pointed at the camphorwood rouge box in his hand with her pale fingers, "Do you know how this box of rouge is made? If you can answer these questions, I will buy your rouge." .”

Gentle Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this true?"

The servant girl snorted: "That's natural, if you can convince me, I'll buy five boxes at once!"

"Come on!" Wen Wen smiled, "Listen carefully."

Seeing Wen Wen's calm face, the maid suddenly had a bad feeling, and only heard the young master who she called "little boy" slowly say: "I don't know what is the difference between other people's mouth fat and face fat. But our family’s mouth fat can be used as facial fat. Pick a little bit with the thin-tailed hairpin and apply it on your lips, just like the frozen persimmons on the branches in winter, moist and plump. Pick a little more and put it in your palm. After a drop of warm water melts, you can directly pat on the face, and the effect is definitely not worse than the facial fat you bought alone.

As for the women's makeup steps, it's so simple, clean the face, apply lead powder, apply face cream, draw eyebrows, apply lip balm, if you like, you can also put flowers on the forehead and paint the corners of the eyes red. "

The smile on the servant girl's face gradually cracked, her eyes widened, and she looked at Wen Shun in shock.

Wen Shun continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you the origin of the fairy beauty and beauty. In spring, I picked the best peony flowers, added alum, pounded them into a slurry in a stone mortar, then filtered them with fine gauze, and put the filtered flower juice into rouge. Put it in the underground storage room, and wait until it is almost condensed, and then it will be ready to use. It sounds simple, but in fact the selection of petals is very strict. If you follow the best standards, you can only select less than half of the petals from a hundred catties. Qualified petals are used to make rouge, and if the gauze is slightly unclean when filtering, the rouge that comes out will be inferior.”

The girl in Huafu was a little absent-minded at first, but was shocked by Wen Wen's words, she came back to her senses, looked at him with re-examination eyes, and opened her mouth for a long time.

Wen Shun spoke first, "Miss, do you want to test my knowledge of the color of rouge? Don't worry, since I can open this shop, I naturally know something about it. The girl's skin color matches the color of the rouge in my hand. If you don't believe me, try it?"

As he spoke, he took out a hand mirror from the lattice cabinet behind him and handed it to her.

The girl in the Chinese dress hesitated to take it, opened the rouge box that Wen Shun handed over, gently dabbed some on her lips and face, and then looked in the mirror, it was really different, after wearing this lipstick and facial balm, she looked even more radiant. Temperament, she was immediately amazed, "Isn't this amazing?"

She smiled meekly: "That's because the girl has good eyesight, and she picked the treasure of our family's store as soon as she came."

A box of rouge for eight taels and eight dollars is indeed not cheap. You must know that what ordinary girls use is only a few tens of pennies a box, eight taels and eight dollars, enough for them to buy rouge for decades.

When the girl in Huafu heard that the maid had ordered five boxes privately, she immediately felt a little pained.

The servant girl said awkwardly: "I didn't expect this shopkeeper to be so eloquent. He knows more about the rouge and gouache used by women than I do, so...Miss, why don't we just buy five boxes and give them to the cousin girl?" alright."

The girl in Huafu was not really angry, and finally she paid for it and left.

Respectfully sending the guests away, meekly weighing the dozens of taels of silver in his hand, he smiled contentedly.

Sure enough, there is a live sign that is different, and the first day of the new year will be a good start.

He hid the money, walked out the door, saw Lu Yanqing was still standing there, and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, brother Wuming, you have made great achievements on the first day today, what do you want to eat later, I treat you."

Lu Yanqing tilted his head, stared at Wen Wen for a moment, and said, "Why don't you take the imperial examination to do this kind of business?"

"What's so fun about being an official?" Wen Shun admitted frankly, "Anyway, I'm not that material. I just want to make money. Have you ever heard a saying that if I have money to travel all over the world, when I save enough money, I will Go and see what the capital looks like under the feet of the emperor."

Lu Yanqing said: "With your current ability, you can go."

"I know, but I can't go now."

"Why?"

"You don't know, I have a brother-in-law. I used to look down on him. He is very promising now. He is a high-ranking official in the capital. I can only be regarded as a small success at the moment. If I go like this, I will appoint him It's a joke. I have to make more money, and when I have the ability to spread the branch to the capital in the future, I can hold my head high when I see him again."

Lu Yanqing asked: "You have been so ambitious since you were a child?"

Thinking of the stupid things she did when she was a child, Wen Shun felt a little guilty, but she still didn't change her face and said: "That's natural, I have inherited my father's mantle, and I will become a wealthy man in the future."

……

In the next few days, according to the contract, Wen Shun would not let Lu Yan do any work. Every day, he would be groomed to be a handsome man, and if he stopped in front of the shop, he would soon attract a large number of girls who bought rouge. guest.

In just a few days, Wen Wen made a lot of money, and what Lu Yanqing could do every day was to watch the sky and the customers coming and going in front of the shop.

He almost turned himself into a sculpture, no matter how beautiful the girl looked at it, he would be indifferent.

Most of the docile customers are women. He knows the concept of "aesthetic fatigue", so he asked Lu Yanqing to come in on the tenth day, saying that he didn't need to stand any longer.

Lu Yanqing's face remained unchanged, cold and indifferent, and his words were not enthusiastic, "The contract is endless."

"I don't want you to stand if it's not over." Wen Wen was really afraid that if he stood still, his business would drop instead, "Didn't we agree before that if you come to solicit business for me, I will ask someone to find you a father, but I will After so long, there is no clue at all, why don’t you think about it, what are the characteristics, it’s best if you can give it a name, then I will definitely find it.”

Lu Yanqing shook his head, "No need."

Wen Shun: "Huh?"

"I've found it." Lu Yanqing regained the characteristic of cherishing words like gold.

"When did you find it? Why didn't you tell me?" Wen Shun was very surprised. If he remembered correctly, during the few days since he came to Fucheng, Brother Wuming stayed in the room for the rest of the time except standing stupidly outside. Where's the time to find my own father? Could it be that he can do avatars?
Unsurprisingly, Wen Shun did not get an answer from the nameless brother.

After half a month, No. 16 days, Wen Shun did what he said, and personally sent Lu Yanqing back to the county town, and went directly to Father Wen's shop.

Seeing this kind-faced young man again, Father Wen asked him, "Did you find your father?"

Lu Yanqing pursed her lips, took two steps back, knelt down in front of Father Wen, and kowtowed three times on the ground.

Wen Shun was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Zhou's face was also dumbfounded, and she looked at Father Wen.

Before Father Wen could react, he saw that the young man had stood up and said, "Thank you for taking me in for half a month, and I will leave."

Then he took out the 35 taels of silver on his body, left 30 taels of silver for money, put [-] taels of silver on the wooden bench, and walked away.

Father Wen's heart suddenly stirred up a turbulent wave, he chased him out and asked, "Son, is your surname Lu?"

Obviously, the back view of the young man going further and further away could no longer answer him.
