Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 24

It was pouring rain outside, and even if the two of them wanted to rush to the inn, it was too late.

The middle-aged man got off his horse, handed the black horse to the man in black, and then walked to the eaves of the incense powder shop to shelter from the rain.

He shook the messy skirt and wrung out the moisture from it.

His hands are long and slender, but slightly rough, and there are obvious thick calluses on the tiger's mouth, which is probably caused by holding weapons for a long time.

Judging by his face and clothes, he was probably a general leading troops to kill the enemy again.

Yun Chu slightly retracted his gaze, he did not expect that such a small place as Qingyang County would often have noble people from Beijing passing by.

Although the scoundrel who belittled her last time was a bit of a jerk, his official position should be quite high.

Today, this majestic middle-aged man can be seen just by his demeanor.

Concentrating his thoughts, Yun Chu slightly raised his steps and went downstairs.

The ladies and wives who were scrambling to buy facial masks had already dispersed. At this time, there were only a few people standing in front of the powder shop to shelter from the rain.

The middle-aged man has a striking appearance and temperament, so the shopkeeper took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a smile on his face, "My lord, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

This middle-aged man was Dongyang Hou Yunchong, one of the two war gods in Nanliang. He turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper expressionlessly.

Xu Shi was on the road all night, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, but his pupils were as sharp as a falcon, and his temperament was so close to the abyss that people dare not approach him.

The shopkeeper shook his body. After so many years in the business field, he rarely met someone with such extraordinary aura. He collected himself, although there was still a smile on his face, but the smile was already a bit stiff, " The rain will not stop for a while, there is a wing room for guests to rest temporarily, if you don't mind, you can come in with me and have a cup of hot tea to warm up, what do you think?"

Yun Chong didn't expect that a small incense powder shop had set up a room for guests to rest temporarily. He glanced outside and saw that the pouring rain had no sign of stopping, so he nodded, "That's fine."

When General Lin Lang, who was going to tie the horse, came back, Yun Chong took him into the wing room in the backyard of the incense powder shop.

When Yun Chuwei came down, he happened to meet several people.

The shopkeeper's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't know how to introduce him, so he could only smile and ask Yun Chuwei, "Is the girl leaving?"

Yun Chu responded lightly, his eyes swept across Yun Chong without a trace, and then asked curiously, "I don't know who this is?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's raining to keep people away. This man happened to be sheltering from the rain outside our shop. It's fate. I'll invite him in for a cup of hot tea."

Yun Chuwei suddenly realized, and blessed himself, "The little girl will not disturb everyone's pleasure, so I leave."

After speaking, he opened the oil-paper umbrella, and Shi Shiran left.

Yun Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked the shopkeeper, "Who is this girl from your store?"

The shopkeeper said hesitantly: "That girl just cooperated with our shop, she refused to reveal her exact name and surname, and she rarely shows up in public. Today, her goods are on sale. No, I came to supervise in person."

Yun Chong was silent, thoughtful.

The girl just now, he looked kind-hearted, but he remembered very clearly that he had never seen such a person before.

"Masters, please come inside."

The shopkeeper took out very enthusiastically.

Relationships are the most important thing in the business field, and these two people have a good status at first glance. If they can get married, it will be of great benefit to the future of their shop.

Yun Chong restrained his thoughts, and followed the shopkeeper to the wing.

After the two sat down, the shopkeeper immediately ordered someone to prepare two sets of quick robes for the two to change into.

Yun Chong's tense face eased a little, "Thank you."

The shopkeeper Lian Lian said with a smile, "you two are welcome, meeting is fate, we can meet on such a heavy rainy day, isn't it because there is a plan in the dark? Wait a moment, I will let someone give You make tea."

Yun Chong raised his hand to stop it, "There's no need for tea, let's take a break and leave."

After a momentary pause, "By the way, what did you say that girl's goods are?"

The shopkeeper said truthfully: "It's a new type of face cream made by herself, and it's all for the ladies."

When Yun Chong thought of the face he saw just now, something seemed to flash through his mind, and he said out of nowhere, "Can you let me see it?"

The shopkeeper quickly fetched Yun Chuwei's propolis mask and aloe vera gel.

Yun Chong took it, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Is this the last set?"

"Yeah." The shopkeeper replied, "If it wasn't for the rain today, the last set would have been sold long ago."

"Since it's the last set, then sell it to me." Yun Chong took the money bag from his waist and paid the money.

Lin Lang was puzzled, and while the shopkeeper was leaving, he asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, why do you want this thing?"

Yun Chong said: "The Queen Mother's birthday, I was ordered to return to Beijing, so I have to bring a gift for Jingshu. I just heard from the shopkeeper that the so-called 'propolis mask' and 'aloe vera gel' seem to be things that Shuntian Mansion does not have. , I think Jingshu will like it."

The "Jingshu" in Yun Chong's mouth is Yun Jingshu, the daughter of Dongyang Houfu's chief concubine and Yun Chong's daughter.

In fact, the reason why he bought the last set was not all because of Yun Jingshu, but because he was surprised by the strangeness in his heart when he first saw the girl just now.

He couldn't tell what it was like, he only vaguely felt familiar.

Yun Chuwei left the backyard, went directly to the cashier to withdraw the income he earned today, and left with Meizi.

The master and servant went to the shop that they were still decorating, and there was a wing room inside that was specially set up for Yun Chuwei.

After the hired servant came in to serve tea, Yun Chuwei lazily leaned on the back of the cushioned armchair, while Meizi sat cross-legged on the kang and counted the silver, swallowing while counting, "Oh my God, it's just I made a few hundred taels of silver in one day, so if we ship more goods next time, wouldn’t we have to make a lot of money?”

Yun Chu smiled angrily, "That's impossible, only fifty boxes can be distributed at a time, the market rule is like this, the rarest is the most expensive, we can make a few hundred boxes, but when there are more goods, the price will fall, besides, one time If you make hundreds of boxes, the quality will drop, I don't want to do this kind of self-defeating business!"

"That's right, that's right." Meizi came to her senses, "It's exactly this reason, and the girl is thoughtful."

Yun Chu took a slight look at the white silver on the kang, "Leave 100 taels for a while, let's go to the silk and satin factory to buy fabrics, and then go to buy some more pork, chickens and bags of rice to take back to the workshop for improvement. Food, and the rest will be deposited in the bank."

Meizi smiled and said: "That's right, it's summer, and it's time for the girl to make new clothes!"

Yun Chu raised his lips slightly, "Not only me, but also my father, Uncle Zhao and you all want to make new clothes."

Mei Zi opened her mouth in surprise, "There are slaves too?"

Yun Chu smiled and nodded, "Take it as a reward for your hard work during this time."

Meizi was overjoyed, she got down from the kang, and bowed slightly to Yunchu, "Thank you, miss."
