The world of makeup through time travel

Every year on Mrs. Li's memorial day, Uncle Li would take his daughter to worship, staying for two or three days.

In the past few days, after learning that his aunt was coming, Li Wanhuai was also rectifying the house.My aunt is an elder, and she is quite dignified. She has always looked down on these women in the backyard. Li Wanhuai doesn't want to be reprimanded by her aunt every time because of the concubine. In addition, the relationship with his first wife has recently eased, and he doesn't want to make trouble because of the concubine. Not happy anymore.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, children who were too young were generally not given a big birthday, for fear of ruining the child's life, but the ten-year-old birthday would be a little grander. In addition to celebrating the child's growth, it was also a day for the child to thank the parents for their kindness. .

Often ordinary people's families eat a good meal on that day. The children thank their parents for their kindness in raising them, and the parents give some teachings to their children.And in the imperial city, even if you don't care about the tenth birthday of the son or daughter of a powerful family, someone else will remember it for you. For the sake of connections or interests, the various prefectures will send gifts to bless the children.

Li Wanhuai hadn't thought about his son's tenth birthday before. Recently, he went to Xu Rongyuan a lot, and he gradually cared about his son. In addition, his aunt came here from Jiangnan, so it was unreasonable not to prepare anything.

How Li Wanhuai helped him prepare for his birthday, Li Xiangqing didn't pay much attention to it, he was still very busy recently.

Fu Li left, that day Li Xiangqing went to the Taoist temple outside the city to see him off, gave him a few bank notes, and told him to come back if he had any difficulties, or go to Jiangnan Shen's mansion to look for him. In summer, he will go to Jiangnan.

Fu Li didn't know if he had listened, but he was still laughing and laughing heartlessly, only thinking about refining the elixir and ascending.

After that, Li Xiangqing started to make the second lipstick "July Qingying" and the mint toilet water that has been tried successfully.

On the third day after Mrs. Li's funeral, Uncle Li came back with his daughter.

After dinner, Li Xiangqing wandered to the second uncle's yard next door with a big and round watermelon in his arms.

At that time, Li Ershu and Li Xiangyi were not long after dinner, and the father and daughter were sitting in the yard playing chess to enjoy the cool.

"Second Uncle, Second Sister, you're so elegant." Li Xiangqing walked over with a smile in his arms while hugging the watermelon.

Ever since his eldest nephew told him about the business that day, Uncle Li has often wondered about the possibility.If the daughter's body wants to be taken care of with good medicine all the time, it will cost a lot of money.But now, apart from the monthly money of the Duke's Mansion, the only money he has is the dowry of his deceased wife, but that is not a bottomless pit, and he cannot afford it.

If there is any good opportunity, he is willing to give it a try for his daughter.

"It's just to enjoy the shade at night, come and have a seat." Uncle Li smiled and waved to his eldest nephew.

Li Xiang smiled lightly and stood by the side without sitting down, and said, "Let's eat a watermelon, I bought it at the West Market, it's so sweet."

Li Xiangyi stood up and touched it. It wasn't iced in the well, and he laughed happily, "What a big watermelon."

Second Uncle Li smiled dotingly, took the watermelon, and carried it to the kitchen to cut it himself.

When Uncle Li brought out the sliced ​​watermelon, he saw his daughter playing chess with his eldest nephew. The summer night was warm and harmonious with the gentle breeze.After the death of his beloved wife, his greatest wish in this life is to hope that his daughter can be so carefree and live a healthy and healthy life.

"Eat watermelon, this melon is really sweet." Uncle Li said, put the plate on the stone table, and picked a piece with few seeds for his daughter.

Li Xiangyi took it and ate it with satisfaction, with a happy expression on his little face.

Both Uncle Li and Li Xiangqing were happy to see it, and they also picked a piece of watermelon to eat. Li Xiangqing helped Li Xiangyi win a game of chess with Uncle Li.

After playing a game of chess and eating watermelons, Uncle Li knew that his eldest nephew must be busy, so he asked his daughter to go back to his room to rest.

After the daughter was settled, Second Uncle Li took another wooden box and went back to the courtyard, sitting opposite to Li Xiangqing who was playing chess alone.

"I heard that the lip balm is 63 taels. The second uncle packed the silver for you." The second uncle Li smiled and pushed the wooden box to the elder nephew.

Li Xiangqing didn't answer, and said with a smile: "My nephew is not here to collect debts."

"Second Uncle knows, what you said to Second Uncle last time about business, is this what you are talking about today?"

Li Xiangqing was noncommittal, and asked instead: "From my second uncle's point of view, what is the prospect of Liuying in July?"

Uncle Li's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the day when his eldest nephew came to send Qiyue Liuying with two heavy dark circles under his eyes. He had a bold guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

"Da Yanchao's blush is only vermilion, purple and colorless. The most commonly seen is vermilion on weekdays. It has to be said that Liuying in July is a breakthrough," Second Uncle Li said while taking a sunspot to block Li's eyes. Xiangqing Baizi's way out, "However, if it's just like this, one day the public will suffer from visual fatigue, and the July Liuying that is now popular in the imperial city will be nothing more than ordinary saliva by then, and the prospects are not very good."

Li Xiang nodded lightly and smiled, put the white pieces in his hand back into the box, took out a white porcelain box from his bosom, and slowly pushed it to Uncle Li.

"What if it's not just that?"

Second Uncle Li was taken aback, looked at the lip balm box suspiciously, quickly took it over and opened it, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise, it turned out to be another color of lip balm that he had never seen before!

"This is Qingying in July. It will be released after Liuying's limelight in the past few days. What does Second Uncle think?"

Second Uncle Li was surprised and speechless. He slowly raised his hand and sniffed it gently. It turned out to be the fragrance of peaches.

"This... Xiangqing, where did you get this? Could it be you..." Second Uncle Li looked at his eldest nephew in disbelief, and suddenly felt that he could understand why his eldest nephew was so tired when he came to send off Qiyue Liuying that day. And that night, Shaohua Building sold the second batch of July Liuying.

"People in the imperial city say that I am accompanied by women and rouge and gouache every day. It is not unreasonable. Grasping the Zhou banquet and the rouge and powder box may have determined the direction of my life."

Li Xiangqing has already made it clear enough, Second Uncle Li is not stupid, he is even more amazed in his heart, it turns out that the person who caused a make-up scandal in the imperial city recently is actually his eldest nephew, and he is still a nine-year-old child!It turns out that catching Zhou Yan and catching a makeup box is not a joke, but a manifestation of talent?

Second Uncle Li was stunned for a long time before calming down, and asked with some concern: "Xiangqing, you are the eldest son of our Duke Cheng's mansion, and it stands to reason that you can ask for a son after you are ten years old, what do you mean?" Give up your title and go into business?"

Li Xiang smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "I'm so talented, it's a pity to abandon it, not to mention that in my father's heart, I have never been the candidate for the son."

Please establish a son, and then go to the palace to work as the emperor's bodyguard or something?Is this how people live?How can money really come?Li Xiangqing will not say this, after all, in the eyes of many dignitaries, it is a supreme honor for a descendant to be a personal bodyguard by the emperor's side, and then gradually promoted to the commander of the bodyguard.

Seeing that his eldest nephew is so careless, Second Uncle Li doesn't know what to say. The rank of a knight and a businessman are definitely much worse. But it is his own life, so he has no right to say anything. Maybe the child will grow up better. Will change my mind.

"Forget it, it should be yours and you can't escape." Uncle Li smiled relievedly, touched the lip balm box, and asked: "The business Xiang Qing talked about, is it because you want Uncle to manage these lip balms?"

Uncle Li said calmly, but his heart was faintly excited. If new products are always launched, the prospect is indeed good, and it is a profitable business.

When it came to the point, Li Xiang nodded with a light smile, and said, "Second uncle also knows that I am too young to be convincing, and there are so many eyes staring at me inside and outside the house, it is very inconvenient to act. And I want to be careful To make a brand, you can’t always sell it piecemeal, I need shops and labor, and it’s hard for me to show up.”

"It's hard for Xiangqing to trust Second Uncle." Second Uncle Li smiled heartily, stood up and looked around, patted Li Xiangqing on the shoulder, and said, "From now on, it will be our nephew's secret. Partition walls have ears, let's go to the study Talk about it."

Li Xiangqing was very happy that his second uncle had such a heart, so he nodded and followed him to the study.

The two uncles and nephews talked late into the night, and they had a very happy conversation.

Li Xiangqing was in a good mood, and finally found a helper. While climbing over the wall and returning to Xu Rongyuan, he was thinking about all kinds of plans for the future. Second uncle alone is not enough, and he wants to make a brand In the early stage, he still needs a strong backer, so let's rely on him first, so as not to be dug out to him.

Just thinking about this, he bent his knees and jumped back to the ground, put away the flying tiger claws and walked towards his own room. After a few steps, suddenly several servants appeared in front of him with lanterns. , revealing Li Wanhuai's livid face.

"You bastard! Where did you go? You came back so late?" Li Wanhuai was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

Li Xiangqing didn't expect his father to stay up in the middle of the night, blocking him here...

"I went to my second uncle's place to eat a melon. Is father waiting for his son?"

"Nonsense! Your second uncle loves a clean life the most, and can he eat melons with a naughty child like you?! Is he soaking in the flower house again and not wanting to leave?!"

Li Xiangqing couldn't argue with a hundred words, he didn't want to hear the truth, so there was nothing else to say, so he simply shut up.

Li Wanhuai was so angry at this rebellious son's attitude, he didn't dare to pick his ear, so he grabbed his arm and dragged him into the hall.

"Look at you! How many times have Wei father told you! Don't lose your health at such a young age! If you refuse to listen now, don't come to Wei father and cry if you can't stand up in the future!"

The corner of Li Xiangqing's mouth twitched, Father, you have said too much to a child...

When we got to the living room, we found that Liu Surong was not asleep either, so he was a little worried, and he was relieved to see him back.

"You child, why didn't you tell me when you ran out, the master is waiting to measure you." Liu Surong patted his son's hand with feigned anger, and pulled him to stand still.

Li Xiangqing was a little terrified, what happened to Li Wanhuai tonight, he couldn't stand up and he was measuring the size, what did he want to measure? !

Before he could think too much, Li Wanhuai had already taken a ruler to measure his son's shoulder width, arm length and so on.

"It's rare to show kindness to your father, and it was left to hang out in the middle of the night. If your mother hadn't persuaded you, you wouldn't want the new clothes for your birthday."

It was only then that Li Xiangqing knew that Li Wanhuai wanted to celebrate his son-in-law's birthday properly, so he came here to measure his clothes in person, he was really flattered.

The author has something to say:
