The world of makeup through time travel

In the third year of Jingtai, the summer solstice has not yet arrived, and the weather has gradually become hotter.

There is a flower lane on the North Street of Dayan Imperial City, named Beili Lane.The bustling alley was crowded with flower houses of all sizes, and this alley was the one that lacked the most customers every day in the entire imperial city.

In the clear sky, Beili Lane has a tendency to be crowded with people.

"Master! Can't we dress up and come here again? This... this is too embarrassing!" The eleven or twelve-year-old, fair-faced youth in green shirts pulled his cuffs, which were not too wide, and tried his best to cover his face, step by step. He hid behind his young master.

"Is it possible for me to come here less, young master? There will be fewer people who gossip in disguise?"

The young man walking in front was dressed in brocade clothes, and Yushu Linfeng was standing in the back, but his voice was still a little crisp, and his appearance was only eight or nine years old, not at the age of visiting flower houses.

"Since the young master knows, he should pay more attention. The side wife can keep an eye on her closely. If she blows wind into the master's ear, the young master will inevitably be beaten and scolded by the master again."

"Beat and scold, the more ruthless your heart is now, the more clean it will be in the future." The young master said coldly, looked up at the red and green flower buildings in front of him, picked a family, and walked away.

"Young Master, what do you think? You are the most honorable eldest son of our Li Mansion. Why don't you plot to seize the position of the eldest son, instead you just want to avoid it? I really don't understand you."

The young boy in blue pouted, chattering all the way.

The eldest young master of the Li family, Li Xiangqing, frowned at the nagging, stopped in his tracks, glanced at the boy who was half a head taller than him, and said, "Qingye, if you talk too much, the young master will sell you This is the Shaohua building."

Qing Yehan smiled and rubbed his head, and said in a low voice: "Young master is talking nonsense again, this flower building is full of women, what can a young man do if he goes there, isn't there still a strange man who loves men in this world?"

"If you are curious, the young master will sell you and let you have a good experience." Ignoring the term "weird man", Li Xiangqing stretched out his hand to Qingye.

Aoba didn't dare to say any more, and handed over the two purses in her arms.

Weighing the weight of one of the purses, Li Xiang frowned slightly, took out a piece of silver, and put the rest back into Aoba's hand.

"Mother hasn't eaten candied snacks for a few days, so I'll pick a few more to bring back later."

Qing Ye touched the purse, suddenly felt a little sad, the young master looked glamorous, it was all made by Li Mansion for outsiders to see, in fact, even the little money in the purse was earned by the young master himself.Now Mrs. Dow is in charge of the palace, how can the young master live a good life?

"Young Master, don't worry, the lip balm you make is very useful, and the price is cheap. If you go a little further tomorrow, you will surely be able to sell a few more boxes."

Li Xiangqing opened the purse containing the new product and looked at it. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "It's so miserable, take your time, good days are to come."

Starting a business is not that easy. He is only nine years old here, so he is not in a hurry.

Shaohua Building is the largest and most high-end flower building in Beili Lane. Not only is it open all day long, but if a customer steps in, they will have to charge an entry fee.Even so, the guests who come and go every day are eager to break the threshold of Shaohua Building.It's not for anything else, the girls in this building are more than one level more beautiful than those in other places.

"Yo~ Mr. Li is here again~ Please come in quickly~ We have been looking forward to July for many days~" The beautifully dressed bustard mother lightly fanned her small fan, covering her mouth and chuckling, not because of Li Xiangqing refused due to age.

The first floor of Shaohua Building is very noisy, there are benefactors and girls drinking and having fun everywhere, and there are people playing the piano on the stage facing the gate to add to the fun. No one is curious because of the arrival of an eight or nine-year-old child.

It is true that no one is curious, the reputation of the eldest son of the Li family is nothing new in the imperial city.As early as at the Zhou banquet held by the eldest son of Li, Li Xiangqing, who was still a baby, took nothing but a powder box, and word spread in the royal circle of the imperial city that the eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion will be a sensual woman in the future. only.

Mr. Li lived up to expectations. He loved playing with the maids and picking flowers when he was young. He often took his servants to visit flower houses when he was eight years old.Nowadays, some Hualou guests who have never seen the world may not know who the Duke of the Li Mansion is, but they will definitely not know the eldest son of the Li family.

"Young Master Li, this is a place for men to show their prowess. You are still young in all aspects, so why are you so impatient? In a few years, it won't be too late to grow up!"

A middle-aged man with a full face laughed and said, and touched the small waist of the girl next to him, which made the girl moan coquettishly, and pounded the benefactor's chest with her small fists, saying "I hate it" softly .

"Brother Li, this is wrong. Wine and sex are the nature of a good man. I think it is a good thing for Mr. Li to get in touch with him earlier. Miss Qiyue is so beautiful that it is difficult for me to wait in line for a drink, but she alone is willing to receive Mr. Li. It can be seen that Mr. Li Although the young master is small, he is powerful." Another thin man also put his arms around a girl, feeding wine mouth to mouth, squinting his eyes and teasing.

When the others heard it, they all laughed at each other.In fact, everyone knows well, what can a nine-year-old child do?

In the imperial city of Dayan, at the foot of the emperor, the most indispensable thing is the rich and powerful.However, the rich and powerful are also divided into different classes. Those who can come to Shaohua Building to have fun must not have too little money on hand, and those who are really powerful will naturally not have fun in such a noisy place in the lobby on the first floor.

These are just a group of low-level dandies in the imperial city, and they only joked a few times when they saw Li Xiangqing was young and saw them often.Coincidentally, it is this group of people who are most able to spend a lot of money for beauty and comparison.In Li Xiangqing's eyes, these people will be his pocketbook in the future.

Not minding their jokes, Li Xiangqing put on a frivolous look, whistled at them, and said with a smile, "I will learn from you."

Everyone laughed when they heard it, flirting with the girls around them one by one, as if to let Li Xiangqing learn a little bit.

Qingye stood behind her young master with a look of lovelessness, the young master really got used to this kind of frivolous virtue.

No longer paying attention, Li Xiangqing put a piece of broken silver into the hands of the bustard mother, and asked with a smile: "Mother Fang, is sister Qiyue here?"

Every time Li Xiangqing came to make a move, he was not extravagant, and only paid a basic entrance fee, but the bustard mother didn't care.One is that Miss Qiyue, who is popular in the imperial city in the building, is willing to receive him. Second, someone stuffed her with a lot of money, telling her not to stop Mr. Li from having fun. The longer the better.

"Here we are, we've been talking about Mr. Li for several days in July, Mr. Go on your own, I won't bother you, mother." The bustard mother covered her mouth and chuckled as she spoke, as if she really took Li Xiang lightly. Became a son and brother who came to a spring festival.

Li Xiangqing didn't say much, thanked the bustard mother, took Qingye upstairs, and walked to Miss Qiyue's room.

Upstairs was much quieter than downstairs, Li Xiangqing put away his flirtatious appearance just now, slowly played with the purse containing the new products in one hand, and walked slowly without rushing.

As soon as she walked to the door of Miss Qiyue's boudoir, she heard the sound of a wine bottle shattering inside, and then someone shouted: "Flying~Flying~ This way is about to ascend!"

"Master! Isn't this the fake Taoist priest?" Qing Ye was about to push the door open in agitation.

Li Xiangqing stopped him, listened to the movement inside, frowned slightly, and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and the person who opened the door was a graceful woman in white, with a scorpion head and moth eyebrows, as beautiful as a peach or plum.

"It's Mr. Li." Seeing Li Xiangqing, Miss Qiyue smiled and looked very happy, but she turned her head to look at the other person in the room, she hesitated to speak, and hesitated. No one was allowed in.

Li Xiang quietly glanced at the Taoist priest lying on the ground inside, without saying much, he just said: "I brought a new product, I want sister Qiyue to help me take a look."

"There's a new product? You haven't sold last month's lip balm, have you? May and June said this color is novel and beautiful, and you can't find it in other stores, but it gave me the limelight." Speaking of lip balm New product, Miss Qiyue is very excited, her love of beauty is ready to move, but there is still someone lying in the room, it is not convenient for Li Xiangqing to enter.

Don't wait for Miss Qiyue to be embarrassed, the Taoist priest lying drunk on the ground inside suddenly made a sound.

"Is it Xiaolizi? Come in quickly! The Taoist priest will show you my newly refined elixir! Now, the Taoist priest, I am about to ascend to the ascension!"

Li Xiangqing didn't make a sound, looked at Miss Qiyue, and asked for her permission, after all, this was her girl's boudoir.

Miss Qiyue didn't expect that they knew each other, she was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "So Mr. Li and Daoist Fuli know each other? Please come in quickly!"

Li Xiang nodded lightly, feeling a little puzzled.Miss Qiyue only picks up guests at night, and since the bustard mother let him come up by herself, there should be no one else in Miss Qiyue's room, why is this Taoist priest here?

"Don't you know each other?! You fake Taoist priest, if you don't stay in your fake Taoist temple for the past two months, you can give my young master a good meal!" Before Li Xiangqing entered the door, Qingye had already rolled up his sleeves and took a few steps. Stepping in and grabbing the front of the Taoist priest's Taoist uniform is about to lift him up, but he is still young, like a weak chicken in front of the Taoist priest, he can't pull it at all, he can only turn to glaring at him.

The Taoist priest ignored Qingye, still lying on the ground, yelling that he was about to ascend.

Miss Qiyue looked around, and hurriedly said: "Master Fu Li is probably drunk, Mr. Li, please sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Li Xiangqing took out a ceramic lipstick box from his purse and handed it to Miss Qiyue, saying, "Sister Qiyue, take a look first?"

Knowing that Mr. Li and Daoist Fuli had something to say, Miss Qiyue tactfully said nothing, and happily took the lipstick box, and took it to the dressing table in the inner room to try it out.

Seeing that Miss Qiyue had left, Qingye yelled dissatisfiedly: "Young Master, look at him! I said he is a fake Taoist priest, and he has come to Hualou to seek pleasure! How can he have real skills?"

Li Xiang sighed softly, squatted beside the Taoist priest, and patted his face lightly, "Are you still awake?"

The Taoist didn't even open his eyes, and muttered: "Wake up, wake up! Little Lizi! Taoist, my elixir is useful for safekeeping this time! I'm going to ascend! I'll see him right away after I become a god!"

Hearing his nonsense, Li Xiangqing knew that he was still drunk and daydreaming about ascension.

It's not unreasonable for Qingye to call him a fake Taoist priest. He is yelling about refining elixir all day long, and the Taoist uniform he wears is nondescript. The Taoist temple he lives in is very remote, small and broken, and he is the only one in the entire Taoist temple. No one would believe him if he was not a liar.

It was really an accident that Li Xiangqing got to know him.

Li Xiangqing was born with memories, he didn't know if it was the legendary soul wear, or if he was reincarnated after death without erasing the memories of his previous life.

He only remembered that he was the director of a famous domestic cosmetics company before, and he started to launch a series of traditional Chinese medicine skin care products, which received a particularly good response.That night, he took a group of employees who had worked hard for a long time to the celebration banquet.Because he was happy, he rarely drank a lot of wine, and then there was nothing more.

Until now, every time Li Xiangqing thinks back on his past life, he always feels that the cause of his death is indistinguishable from alcoholism.

Although he was born in the Duke's mansion in this life, because of the embarrassing status of his mother, his father doted on his concubine and killed his wife, let alone the position of the son, it is still unknown whether he will have enough to eat in the future.Therefore, Li Xiangqing's goal is very clear, to return to his old business.Although it is said that there are scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce in this era, as the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around. No matter which dynasty you are in, nothing is as real as money.

Fortunately, today's sage has a long history with the way of merchants. Although this road is difficult, there is still hope.

It's a pity that ancient technology is not good enough, and many things we want to do can't be done.Li Xiangqing has tried his best to combine ancient and modern techniques, abandoning many modern technologies, but only some of today's ingredients cannot be broken through in ancient times.

Some ingredients are very necessary, and they were not available in ancient times, but he knew how to refine them. What he lacked were refining techniques and people.

In this era, Li Xiangqing can only think of "Taoist" if he has to associate with the word "refinement".

Over the years, as a child, it was very difficult for Li Xiangqing to inquire.Occasionally, I heard that a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple went where to exorcise demons and demons, and which family invited a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple to perform deeds, but I just never heard of which Taoist temple made any pills.

Li Xiangqing didn't give up hope at first, at worst, he just used today's technical components to make some simple ones, but he didn't expect to meet a fake Taoist priest who was selling elixir on the side of the road.

Now recalling the first acquaintance with this Taoist priest, Li Xiangqing felt that he was really in a hurry to go to the doctor. Looking at the drunken Taoist priest, he didn't have any hope in his heart, and asked lightly: "Promise me , can we do it?"

Unexpectedly, looking at the drunken young Taoist priest, he suddenly opened his eyelids, and muttered: "I can refine elixir, Taoist priest, but I can't refine your things? But the Taoist priest is drunk now, and we can talk about it when I wake up."

Said, fell asleep again.

Li Xiangqing choked a mouthful of old blood in his throat, he couldn't get up or down, and finally swallowed it down.

Anyway, at least there is hope.

Instructing Qingye to take care of Taoist Fuli, Li Xiangqing got up and went to the inner room to talk to Miss Qiyue about promoting the new lip balm.
