People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

The highly educated Xu Xilu has never believed in face to face, but he still took some broken silver and threw it into the broken bowl in the man's hand, "Thank you."

"My lord, please stop." The man caught up with Xu Xilu, muttering in a spirited voice: "My lord, these three peach blossoms are rare in the world. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. You should pick one of them as soon as possible and discard them. The remaining two flowers, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

Xu Xilu smiled: "Understood."

Jiudong on the side said seriously: "Look, young master, my mother is right! You should eat more and return to the way you were before, so that life will be easier!"

"..." If he hadn't known Jiudong's IQ, Xu Xilu would have suspected that the beggar was his entrustment.Xu Xilu didn't bother to talk to the two of them, he just sighed and walked into the rouge shop.

The proprietress of the rouge shop looks to be no more than thirty, her face makeup is the most popular Yuanshandai in the capital, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and she looks very elegant.She was planning behind the table, but when she saw a guest coming in, she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Hey, what kind of young gentleman is this, who is so handsome? Dare I ask you, what do you want?" ? In addition to the usual makeup powder, rouge, and Shidai, we also have all kinds of jewelry commonly used by women."

Xu Xilu casually glanced around, "Let me see."

This rouge shop can be opened next to the Qinghui Building, so it is one of the best in Beijing. Many young ladies from rich and powerful families have come to patronize it. The proprietress pays for her knowledge. The little one was amazed. "The son is so romantic and suave, must he buy it for some beautiful woman?"

"That's right." Xu Xilu said casually, "You pack some of the best-selling makeup powder, rouge, and Shi Dai each, and pack them in two for me."

Seeing the guests so happy, the proprietress was also elated, "Okay, wait a minute, my master, I'll go right away."

Xu Xilu waited boredly, and suddenly smelled a faint scent of medicine, and couldn't help being shocked.He looked around and saw a silver basket on the table, in which were several diamond-shaped azure sachets, embroidered with pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water, vivid and lifelike.

Seeing that Xu Xilu was interested in sachets, the proprietress hurriedly sold them: "It's the Poison Moon, wearing sachets can drive away evil spirits and avoid poisons, and prevent the invasion of epidemics. Young master, how many do you want to bring?"

Xu Xilu picked up the sachet, smelled it on the tip of his nose, and asked, "What's in it?"

"Angelica dahurica, mugwort leaves, calamus, musk... The sachet formula of our shop is a secret recipe handed down from our ancestors, which is different from other shops. We can only make a total of a few hundred a year, and now only these are left."

At the end of April, the Xu Mansion also distributed some sachets. Xu Xilu didn't like the smell very much, but the sachets from this shop were just what he wanted.He said, "Bring me two."

On the third floor of Qinghui Building, Song Yanqing was sitting by the window, frowning unabashedly to express his dissatisfaction with the people at the same table.

Opposite him, sitting a young man wearing royal blue brocade clothes, is the youngest son of Lord Shen, Shen Zixian.He looked no more than 20 years old, with a pale complexion, a slightly high hairline, and a completely over-indulgent appearance.There were two beauties by his side, one was pouring wine for him, the other was leaning on him, smiling and waving a round fan.

"Ha—good wine!" Shen Zixian closed his eyes, as if savoring the aftertaste of the wine's aroma, "Cousin, don't just watch me drink it! Caiwei, go fill it up for the little prince."

The woman named Caiwei was about to get up, when Song Yanqing said coldly: "No need."

Caiwei looked at Shen Zixian for help, and the latter smiled, "Cousin, in front of such a beautiful woman, you should give me some face."

Song Yanqing sneered, "If you have any farts, hurry up, I don't have time to waste time with you here." Song Yanqing has never liked such a dude as Shen Zixian, but Shen Guogong is his own uncle after all, and now he is also the emperor's right-hand man. As the youngest son of Shen Guogong, Zixian should give him some face even if he is the emperor, let alone him.

Shen Zixian rolled his eyes sideways, sat next to Song Yanqing, smiled and said: "Cousin, brother, I want someone."

Song Yanqing knew that nothing good would happen to this person, "I heard that there are not twenty but fifteen concubines in your room? Who else do you want?"

"On the Lantern Festival, I met Yao Min, the servant of the household department, and Mrs. Yao's concubine daughter on the bank of the Xunjiang River. I fell in love with her at first sight. I swear to God immediately that I will not marry Miss Yao in this life."

Song Yanqing twisted his face, "Then you are going to divorce Princess Fangyi and reconcile with her? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your uncle?"

Shen Zixian waved his hands in a panic, "I don't dare to do that! It's just that although my dynasty is monogamous, I can have more concubines..."

Song Yanqing wished to poke her chopsticks into his eyes, "Yao Min is a second-rank official after all, you want his daughter-in-law to be your concubine?"

Shen Zi said indifferently: "What's the matter? It's not like there's no precedent. Isn't Xie Heng's concubine still rushing to be Xu Shangshu's concubine?"

"Shut up." Song Yanqing gritted her teeth and said, "This king will never help you with this matter, just give up your heart!"

"Cousin!" Shen Zixian grabbed his sleeve and begged bitterly, "Cousin, please help me one more time, I really like that Miss Yao, without her I will die, cousin!"

Shen Zixian was like a piece of cowhide plaster, sticking tightly to Song Yanqing, Song Yanqing couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried, Xuan Mo hesitated aside, and didn't know whether he should go up to help.

"Let go!" Song Yanqing was so entangled that she had no choice but to say first: "This king just promised you, let go!"

"Really, cousin?" Shen Zi almost jumped up when he heard the words, "Thank you, cousin, I knew that cousin is the best for me."

Song Yanqing straightened her crumpled clothes with a look of disgust, "You say one more word, and this king will grab your hair and throw you from here."

Shen Zi put it away when he was free, sat back to his seat, put his arms around the two beauties, and mouthed: "Pour wine, pour wine."

It's a pity that Shen Zixian had been quiet for a short time, but for some reason, his eyes were bright and his neck stretched out, as if he had been spat out. Song Yanqing said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Look, cousin." Shen Zixian pointed out the window and said, "Which family is this son, who looks so good, and I don't know him?"

Song Yanqing looked sideways, and saw that at the door of the rouge shop opposite, a woman who looked like a proprietress was smiling and talking to a young man.That young man was dressed in moon white, extremely handsome and unrestrained, just like the romantic young man in the storybook.Song Yanqing looked at it for a moment, then looked away, and said contemptuously, "It's not much."

"Wait, cousin, he seems to be looking at you!"

When Song Yanqing looked again, he met the young master's eyes, and the latter even smiled at him.He couldn't help being taken aback, wondering, "Why does he look at me? Still laughing at me?"

"Probably because my cousin is good-looking," Shen Zixian said flatteringly, "After all, my cousin's face is rare in the world, who wouldn't want to take a few more glances after seeing it."

Song Yanqing suddenly realized, "That's true."

Xuan Mo couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and said, "My lord, that is the second son of the Xu family."

"The second son of the Xu family? Xu Xilu?!" Song Yanqing said incredulously, "Are you sure?"

"Exactly, my lord, please take a closer look."

Song Yanqing saw the boy following the man, he was indeed Jiudong whom he had seen several times, and turned his gaze to the man's face again, as if he had a feeling of deja vu.In an instant, like thunder and lightning, he was stunned.

Shen Zi happily said: "Cousin, do you know him? Quickly invite him up and introduce him to me!"

Xu Xilu hasn't seen Song Yanqing since the last time the palace left.Speaking of which, even though Song Yanqing drove him out of the palace that day, he did him a great favor after all. He was busy losing weight these days, and he never came to thank him.Thinking of this, Xu Xilu said to Jiu Dong: "Go, let's go in and say hello to the little prince."

At the corner of Changxing Street, Lian Cha silently watched the backs of the two of them. After deliberating for a long time, he still didn't dare to enter the shop.She frowned as she thought about what a certain girl had revealed not long ago—could it be that the second young master really knew something?
