Man and wife counterattack

Opposite the jewelry store in Mu Mansion in the north of the city is the gloomy Rouge Village.

Jiang's Rouge Village.

The jewelry store in Mu Mansion has two stores on almost every street in the north of the city. The business is very good, but some people's business is good, and naturally some people's business is not.

You Xuan turned around, holding the more than 1 taels of silver that he had saved for a while in his pocket, secretly cheering himself up, and then stepped into the Rouge Village.

He just came to Fenghuang Haicheng, like a headless chicken, he has no idea what kind of business is good or bad, although he saved a lot of silver of more than 1 taels, but You Xuan was reluctant to take out all the money recklessly. Business.

But he couldn't stay idle.

I don't want to waste time either.

So he found the shopkeeper Jiang of Jiang's Yanzhizhuang. He came here specially to discuss business, and nothing else. For the better, he doesn't take money, but if the business is booming, even more prosperous than the Mufu jewelry store opposite, he will pay dividends.

Shopkeeper Jiang was willing to believe him at the beginning, holding good tea and respecting him with kind words, but when he heard that You Xuan was not a rich young man or a famous family, he immediately turned his face, thinking that You Xuan was being funny and slandering face, and drove him out.

You Xuan immediately said, "I don't charge money now!"

He paused, knowing that shopkeeper Jiang felt that he was poor, so he straightened his waist and said, "I won't charge you money, when your business is good, when everyone in Fenghuanghai City knows that your house is Jiang's Rouge Village, Let's talk about money."

Shopkeeper Jiang dismissed him like a beggar, "Whatever you want. Just don't make trouble."

You Xuan made another request, "But I don't know what kind of rouge you have in your store. Take a pen and paper and write it down, and then take me to have a look and introduce them one by one." He thought for a while, and then said: "Give me some more Prepare a copy of the most complete rouge and gouache in your store, all of them."

Shopkeeper Jiang stared at him.

"..." You Xuan opened the money bag, threw out a 50 tael bank note, and said, "Is there any money left for you? Go quickly."

Money is master, shopkeeper Jiang quickly collected the money with a speechless face, and then asked a shop assistant to come and take You Xuan over, first packed all the rouge in their shop, and then took a pen and paper to write on it.

Before You Xuan went out, he turned his head and said, "Refund more and make up less."

50 taels, you can buy thousands of boxes of rouge.

"..."

After staying in Jiang's Rouge Manor for two hours, You Xuan walked out, followed by Dahao carrying two big wooden boxes, which contained boxes of rouge powder.

All colors are available.

You Xuan asked Dahao to carry the box to Yaoxuan first, and when they came out, they brought a carriage, and the carriage took Mu Jue to Yaoxuan.

Dahao went to Shake Xuan first.

You Xuan turned a corner, went to the teahouse to order a pot of tea, paid some errand money, and asked the waiter to find some cheap but useful painters from Phoenix Sea City.

Three painters soon came from different directions.

You Xuan asked them to draw a few pictures of beauties, focusing on beauties and makeup.

The painters took the deposit, explained clearly, and then left one after another.

It was already dark at this time, but You Xuan refused to be idle at all, and asked the waiter if they had a storyteller in the teahouse, and after getting the exact affirmation, he gave the waiter a little money and asked him to lead the way, and went to the storyteller in person s home.

Money is the best thing to do. You Xuan generously gave the storyteller five taels of silver, and asked him to write an article within two days--Miss Yan Zhizhuang lost her memory after falling into the water, and after being bullied by the people , and finally relying on her make-up skills that only rich ladies can do, she finally made a name for herself and made a lot of money and love.

The storyteller patted his chest and said, "I understand, I understand, what is the type of the male lead, son, let me tell you, the best male lead is the kind of Yushu Linfeng, and..."

You Xuan said: "...The most important thing is her makeup skills and Rouge's name. Of course, there are also scenes of love and romance."

The storyteller nodded again and again, "Understood."

After finishing these tasks, it was already very late.

But the north of the city is still very lively.

You Xuan walked past the doors of shops, almost every shop had a lot of customers, except that Jiang's Rouge.

When passing by the jewelry store in Mu Mansion, You Xuan also took a look. The store was also very lively, and... also saw a few acquaintances.

Grandmother Mu, Mrs. Miao, and Nanny Liu are all there.

As if she was talking about something, Grandma Mu's face was a little ugly.

However, Mrs. Miao didn't care about her, and devoted herself to entertaining the rich ladies who were choosing jewelry, and did her best.

In the end, Nanny Liu supported Grandma Mu to leave.

You Xuan has already left first.

He brought Dahao with him when he came out, but later Dahao went to Yaoxuan to find Mu Jue with his things, so You Xuansi thought about it, but he didn't know the way, probably he couldn't find where Yaoxuan was, so he went I simply went to the teahouse where I stayed for a long time today.

The teahouse is still open, and there are still many people drinking tea, chatting and playing chess here.

The waiter helped run errands twice today, and he already recognized You Xuan, and came over happily, "Is the guest drinking tea, or do you have other orders?"

You Xuan said, "Go to Yaoxuan for me and find someone surnamed Mu... If the carriages and people in Mu's residence are all gone, then go and rent a sedan chair for me."

The waiter in the shop was even happier when he got the money, "Okay."

You Xuan waited for a while, his stomach was very hungry, so he ordered some pastries, it was so late, the pastries in the teahouse were only cold, the tea was lukewarm, and it was not good tea.

You Xuan ate something, and footsteps sounded outside the store.

When Mu Jue came, he only said once he appeared, "It's already very late."

You Xuan threw a broken piece of silver on the table, and after the waiter found the money, he left with Mu Jue. The carriage was parked outside. Da Hao and Zhi knew that Fang Table was waiting outside the carriage. It was very cold at night. Everyone was stamping their feet on the spot, and their faces were so cold that they didn't look good.

After returning to Mu Mansion.

You Xuan drank ginger soup, pointed to the two big boxes on the ground next to him, and said, "I have to go out again tomorrow, are you going out?"

Mu Jue changed his clothes and stood at the table sorting out some manuscripts of poems, which were poems he wrote at Yaoxuan's Poetry Club today. Hearing this, he paused and said, "I have something else to do tomorrow. "

You Xuan nodded, "I know."

Mu Jue didn't speak any more, feeling chill all over his body.

The next day.

Before Mu Jue got up, You Xuan got up and dressed, and finally put on the black fox fur, took some money, and went out.

As soon as he left, Mu Jue got up and asked, "What did he explain before he went out?"

Cicada was puzzled, "No."

Mu Jue washed his hands and said in a deep voice, "Did you tell me to pick him up? He was still at the teahouse last night?"

"……nor."

Mu Jue lowered his eyes, suppressing the displeasure and coldness that appeared between his brows at some point.

He waited for a long time outside the Yaoxuan gate yesterday.

Finally waited for You Xuan's message.

-

You Xuan didn't care about these love affairs, so he went to the teahouse yesterday when he left the house. As soon as the waiter saw him, he rushed over with a teapot, "Do you want some tea, sir? Or do you have other orders?"

You Xuan asked him, "Does your Phoenix Sea City have... singers, piano girls, dancers, etc. who specialize in performing arts?"

The waiter nodded and said, "There are many singers and piano girls who come out to sell and sing in restaurants and restaurants in Haijie and Shuiheqiao. Just turn a corner in the next street, which is Haijie. Go straight and go through an alley to the right. The river bridge is over, and people come out to sell and sing every day in the shop opposite the Shuihe bridge."

These two places have the most restaurants and restaurants.

You Xuan nodded knowingly, threw a few copper coins to the waiter, got up and went out.

The waiter hurried over to him and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want a sedan chair? It's on the street. I'll call a sedan chair. It will be much cheaper."

You Xuan raised his eyebrows and directly refused.

Although he came out alone this morning, he didn't treat him badly at all, and asked Uncle Zhao, the housekeeper of the Mu family, to prepare the carriage.

The carriage from the Mu Mansion was always waiting beside him, so there was no need for a sedan chair.

-

There are indeed quite a few restaurants and restaurants in Haijie and Shuiheqiao, and basically every restaurant and restaurant will have singers and piano girls who come out to sing and perform.

You Xuan opened the two wooden boxes that he brought out so hard, and took out a large pile of rouge and gouache from inside, and gave them to the singing girls and the piano girls respectively, and also gave each of them two coins, nothing else. The requirement is to ask them to use these rouge powders every time they come out to sing or perform arts. If no one asks, they will take the initiative to mention in front of everyone that they use the rouge powder from Jiang's Rouge Village.

Many singers are not happy, what is Jiang's Yanzhizhuang?

never heard of that.

But seeing the two coins and a few boxes of beautiful rouge and gouache, I couldn't help but agree.

In the afternoon, the snow stopped.

After You Xuan sent out all the rouge, he counted a sum of money, which cost about 15 taels of silver, so he found a vacant seat at a street noodle stall and ordered a bowl of wonton noodles, but he was also busy Dahao, who hadn't eaten anything all day, ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

After Dahao ate most of the bowl of noodles, he hesitated and said, "My lord, what if this is a waste of work? It's almost 100 taels of silver."

"The capital of 100 taels of silver is not too much." You Xuan smiled, and said, "If it succeeds, let's not talk about the dividends that Jiang's Rouge Village can give me. Most of the situation in Haicheng, and the reputation has also opened up, I, I actually plan to open a shop by myself to do business."

He thought for a while, then said softly, "Besides, what Mu Jue meant before was that he was going to Lengzhou, and I will go with him, so I just want to make a small fortune in Phoenix Sea City, so that I can go to Lengzhou in the future." paving."

Dahao understood.

Not far away, the owner of the noodle stall put the soup ladle on the stove, pointed at his son who had just come back crying, and cursed, "It's a worthless thing, even if you play with a lantern, you can be robbed by others. Go to the corner and pick some snow by yourself." Let's pile it up and play, now I don't have money to buy another lantern, let's talk about it during the Chinese New Year."

The little boy cried loudly.
