Save the disabled male protagonist

This is something Lu Yuanming noticed early in the morning. His husband and wife have a special fragrance.

At the beginning, Lu Yuanming smelled it from a handkerchief handed to him by the other party. It was very faint, like the fresh snow on the branches of Qinggui, and it was hard to forget after smelling it once.

Afterwards, Lu Yuanming discovered that the other party began to smell another kind of floral fragrance. After careful identification by Lu Yuanming, he suddenly remembered that it was the fragrance of rouge.

It was stained by his husband and wife when they were dressing up every morning...

This is the second time from Lu Yuanming that the other party said that he is very fragrant.

Did the other party guess something?

Same as last time, Chu Xiao was also a little nervous, he opened his eyes slightly, trying to see something on Lu Yuanming's face.

As for Lu Yuanming's half-closed eyes, because he had been smoked by poisonous fumes, when he "looked" at him with gray eyes, the dull eyes were so obvious.

Chu Xiao's doubts were dispelled again, but it was always said by a man that it was very fragrant, and it was not a wonderful thing. Chu Xiao retorted forcefully: "How can it be? You smelled it wrong!"

Lu Yuanming suddenly lowered his head, as if to sniff.

He looked too serious, as if he could really smell something.

Chu Xiao quickly covered the tip of his nose with one hand, and said depressedly and helplessly, "Master Hou, are you a puppy?"

puppy?

It was the first time Lu Yuanming heard someone use a dog as a metaphor for himself. Even if it was a joke, it would damage his identity.

However, Lu Yuanming was not angry at all. Instead, when the soft palm was pressed against the tip of his nose, Lu Yuanming couldn't help feeling a sense of joy.

Is this the boudoir joy mentioned in the book?

Seeing that Lu Yuanming stopped talking, Chu Xiao also realized that what he said just now seemed to be out of order under the feudal ethics, just when Chu Xiao was about to say something, Lu Yuanming suddenly laughed: "My lord is a puppy, he just wants to hear something, what's the matter?" ?”

When Chu Xiao went out, he always felt that there was still warmth in his palms.

I had a fight with Lu Yuanming just now, which caused Chu Xiao to come out much later than usual.

When Chu Xiao arrived at the store, he found that although there were many people on the road, there were not many people in the newly opened rouge shop.

In the past few days, Chu Xiao has opened rice shops and embroidery shops one after another in the capital. He thought that the Rouge shop was the most popular one, but who knew it was not.

The rice shop does not stick to anything, it is a necessity after all, as long as the rice sold is this year's new rice, and the store is not short of catties, customers will naturally come to the door.

And the embroidered pieces placed in the embroidery spinning can be seen to be good or bad at a glance, and the styles of various clothes in it are beautiful and novel, and there are many people who pay the bill.

Only the rouge shop has very few people who even come to see it.

After thinking about it carefully, Chu Xiao understood.

First of all, this rouge is something to put on the face, and the ladies of rich families are very cautious about it. They usually ask their maids to buy it in familiar shops, or make their own. Basic rouge can be made from flower petals.

Second, rouge is not like embroidery, you can tell it just by looking at it.

Seeing Chu Xiao arrive, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop immediately greeted her. The shopkeeper's surname is Hua, she is a little over 30, and everyone calls her Miss Hua. She also has experience as a shopkeeper before, and it was Chu Xiao who poached her from elsewhere.

Hua Niangzi also knew this truth, and said with a distressed face: "Master, although the things sold in the shop are good, outsiders don't know about them. If you want to sell them, you have to take your time. Master, don't blame the servants."

Lady Hua didn't know Chu Xiao's identity, but she was not ordinary in his clothes and demeanor. The imperial city was full of nobles. Lady Hua had been around for many years, and she had developed a pair of piercing eyes long ago. She knew that Chu Xiao was not easy.

Chu Xiao didn't take it seriously, he just glanced at Hua Niangzi lightly.

This glance made Hua Niangzi a little nervous, but at this moment, Chu Xiao said: "It's okay, you come with me."

After a while, Miss Hua sat down dazedly, watching Chu Xiao skillfully opened the makeup box with her long, fair fingers.

Although Chu Xiao was still a boy, she was a man after all, and Hua Niangzi felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing Chu Xiao so attentively, her eyes were calm and motionless, as if she was dealing with an object, Hua Niangzi was not so nervous.

It wasn't until Chu Xiao said "Okay" that Hua Niangzi stood up blushing, and walked carefully to the side of the bronze mirror.

When she saw her completely new self in the mirror, Hua Niangzi almost exclaimed. She couldn't believe that the face in the mirror, which seemed to be [-] years old, belonged to her. Because of the lead powder she used before, her complexion was already a little yellow. , Now even after applying this rouge, it becomes light white and red.

After recovering from the shock, Hua Niangzi was admiring Chu Xiao, but suddenly had an inexplicable doubt. Since Chu Xiao is so powerful, how could his appearance be so ordinary?No, Miss Hua is very familiar with rouge, how can she not see that there are traces of makeup powder on Chu Xiao's face?

Afterwards, Miss Hua didn't have time to think about it, Chu Xiao taught her how to advertise. At first, Lady Hua didn't understand the meaning of the advertisement, but soon she understood, isn't advertising just to spread the word?

Although she was a little shy, Hua Niangzi followed Chu Xiao's wishes and went to the door to place an advertisement and distributed brochures.

After a while, many people came. After all, Hua Niangzi used to be the shopkeeper of another rouge shop. Some people knew her. Seeing her change so much, how could they not be moved?

In the next few days, it seemed that someone got the letter and spread it widely. More and more people bought it.

Hua Niangzi wrote down the best selling ones and handed them to Chu Xiao for review.

She suddenly remembered something and said: "Master, there is one more thing. Today, a woman came who paid a lot of money. She ordered thirty boxes of the most expensive bead powder. Moreover, the woman said that she is willing to pay another hundred taels of gold..."

Speaking of this, Hua Niangzi showed a tangled look and said: "I ask the master to sell her the formula, and I will not do it again in the future."

Chu Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, isn't this a buyout?But who dares to speak so loudly?

Seeing that Chu Xiao's face remained unchanged, Miss Hua said anxiously: "Master, I think you have to think about this, because the girl actually knows the slave family, and she is from the imperial business, so she is bound to win, for the sake of Preparations for the Qianqiu Banquet in the near future..."

Ordinary people may not know about Qianqiuyan, but as Pingnanhou's wife, Chu Xiao, she actually got the news the day before yesterday.

This year the emperor planned to hold a grand banquet in the palace, and chose an auspicious day, called the Qianqiu Banquet, which probably meant the prosperity of the Qianqiu, and it was obvious that people would present gifts.

Except for the courtiers of the fourth rank and above who had to enter the palace to participate, the royal family and nobles with titles and the children of the princes were also among them, and even the Pingnan Hou Mansion specially sent someone to notify.

Although Chu Xiao was going to reject Lu Yuanming because he was in poor health and needed to be accompanied and taken care of, the palace attendant who announced the ceremony still did not let go.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao said with a cold expression, "Don't worry about it."

Seeing that Chu Xiao's attitude was so calm, Miss Hua immediately responded, and became even more curious about Chu Xiao's identity. You must know that the imperial merchant is a person who manages business on behalf of the royal family as an official. How could it be simple?

Now that Chu Xiao returned to the mansion much earlier than before, everything is difficult at the beginning, after taking this step, the rest of the work will be much easier, and it will be better to assign it to others.

And now that Chu Xiao was walking in the Hou's mansion, everyone avoided and bowed their heads in salute, not daring to hesitate at all.

But when Chu Xiao came back today, he found that there were a lot fewer people outside, and he didn't know where he had gone.

At this time, a girl saw Chu Xiao and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hou, go to the courtyard of Lord Hou to have a look. The imperial doctor came to the palace today, led by a father-in-law, and said to see a doctor for Lord Hou, and he is now in the courtyard of Lord Hou Woolen cloth."

Chu Xiao frowned immediately when he heard the words. For so long, the emperor had never said to send an imperial physician to show Lu Yuanming, but now he suddenly sent an imperial physician, which must be a bad intention.

Soon Chu Xiao came to his senses.

He refused to enter the palace yesterday on the grounds that Lu Yuanming's health had not recovered, so the emperor could naturally use this as an excuse to send someone to check.

Besides, it has been more than a month now, and Lu Yuanming's physical condition has recovered a little no matter what, and a few days ago, Chu Xiao and Lu Yuanming's main courtyard did not need maids to serve them. If someone with a heart knows this, how can they not be suspicious?

Chu Xiao asked the girl, how long have those people been here?At the same time, he hurried to Lu Yuanming's main courtyard.

The girl gasped and said: "It was only the time for a cup of tea, and the servant girl was just saying that she would come to find Madam, and Madam came back."

When Chu Xiao arrived, it was already a bit late.

There were several guards from the palace at the gate of the main courtyard. Seeing that Chu Xiao was about to come in, the guards showed expressions of disbelief and asked again: "Are you Madam Hou?"

It's no wonder they questioned that Chu Xiao was out of the house and didn't want to reveal his identity. Naturally, he dressed lightly, and his face was mediocre, so he didn't look like Mrs. Pingnanhou.

It was the first time that Chu Xiao felt that there was something wrong with this disguise, and just as he was about to make a big move, Gao Dehuai from inside rushed over to interrogate, quickly waved his brush, and stopped everyone: "This is Mrs. Pingnanhou, please don't be rude. "

Gao Dehuai just saw the scene in front of him, and realized that the guards in the palace must have their eyes above the top, and they didn't recognize Chu Xiao.

On the other hand, Chu Xiao called out "Eunuch Gao" faintly, and walked directly into Lu Yuanming's room without saying much.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanming seemed to be coping well. He was sitting on the pillow with his eyes closed, and an imperial physician next to him felt his pulse, his expression seemed to be beating with the pulse, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, it seemed that Lu Yuanming still had serious problems with his body.

Besides a few serving servants in the room, there was another person in the room who was Lu Zhi.

When Lu Zhi met Chu Xiao, he called out "niece and daughter-in-law" without a smile on his face. He and Chu Xiao had almost never met each other, but he had an ulterior motive for Chu Xiao who could put his second brother in jail. Naturally, I hated him deeply.

Here, Lu Yuanming also raised his head and "looked" at Chu Xiao. When his gray eyes opened, his unfocused gaze was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Before Chu Xiao could speak, it was Lu Zhi who trembled unconsciously. Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhi stepped forward and asked the imperial physician anxiously, "How is Lord Hou's health?"

Eunuch Gao also raised his ears.

The imperial physician had never encountered such a strange pulse condition. If ordinary people had such a pulse condition, they would have died long ago, but Lu Yuanming still seemed to be in high spirits. He really was a strange person.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand to feel the pulse, and Lu Yuanming withdrew his internal force as if nothing had happened.

The imperial doctor had rich experience and said, "Master Hou's body is recovering now, but how long it will take to recover depends on Master Hou's perseverance. This is not a medicine that can heal..."

Speaking of this, the imperial physician changed the subject again: "However, Lord Hou, you don't need to worry. Take good care of it and you will get better."

These words are actually another version of doing everything possible and obeying the destiny, and those present can understand it.

Lu Zhi secretly rejoiced, these days, he has been suspecting that Lu Yuanming's health will be healed soon, otherwise why wouldn't anyone come in to serve him?That's why he asked the emperor to ask the imperial physician to treat Lu Yuanming's illness. Since he showed his heart, the emperor must follow suit.

If Lu Yuanming pretended to be sick, he would be deceiving the emperor, but if Lu Yuanming really couldn't do it, if he could confirm it, he would have peace of mind.

Since Lu Yuanming really couldn't get better, Lu Zhi thought about it: "In this way, Master Hou still needs to take good care of his body. As his wife, you are just not by his side during the day. People enter?"
