husband in another world

Chapter 11 Selling Lipstick

"So I thought, such a good thing, painted so beautifully, might as well sell it to the county magistrate's wife, she is very nice."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Didn't you say that it looks like eating the flesh of a dead child? Why does it look good?"

"That's you, a big man with such blood red, it's scary to look at, as if you've eaten the flesh of a dead child. If our county matriarch and wife are beautiful, it must look good when you paint it on."

It seems that the county magistrate here must be very good at being an official, so that the people love him so much, so that even the villagers who open the Yamen like Shen Mo are admirable when they mention it.

Zhou Jing deliberately teased Shen Mo and said, "You haven't seen the magistrate, how do you know his wife is beautiful!"

"A person with a beautiful heart will naturally not be ugly."

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "I totally agree with you when you say that. Just like you, husband, you have a beautiful heart and a more beautiful person. I like your husband very much."

"You..." Shen Mo had never been teased like this before, his face was as red as a ripe red apple.

This made Zhou Jing lick the corner of his mouth, and suddenly became lustful.The taste of Xiaofulang is really unforgettable.

It's a coincidence.The two of Zhou Jing were talking and walking to a makeup shop. A gorgeous pink sedan was parked at the door of the shop. It was either rich or expensive.

In the shop, it is obvious that a master and a servant are choosing gouache.

The maid said to the shopkeeper: "Is there no fresh lip balm here? My wife has used all of these."

The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "Ma'am, our rouge and gouache are all good things, and they are all shipped from the south. So it may not be fast, but I think it is not comparable to others."

The maid said: "That's why I always come to your house to buy. Forget it, when your family comes with fresh goods, remember to go to our county grandpa's house to inform our wife first. Our wife will sell it after selection."

"Definitely." The shopkeeper responded repeatedly.

Standing at the door, Zhou Jing and Shen Mo could clearly hear the conversation inside and see the people inside clearly.

The woman dressed as the master wore a light-colored skirt, which was made of high-quality silk at first glance.There are a pair of golden steps on her head, a pair of jade pendants on her ears, and a green bracelet on the wanzi that leaked out from one side. Although the jade quality cannot be seen from a distance, it is definitely good to see her dress thing.A little powder is applied on the face, which is not gaudy, but adds to the extravagance.

The zeros and zeros that this woman wears on her body and on her head add up to a thousand taels of silver, to say the least.It seems that the magistrate is not as honest as the rumors say, otherwise how could his wife be able to dress up so extravagantly with his little salary.

But since his good name is spread up and down here, at least the matter of face is definitely passable, so it's easy to handle.

"Little Mo, it's time for you to go out."

"Ah?" Shen Mo opened his mouth wide in surprise, pointing at himself. "what should I do?"

Zhou Jing leaned on Shen Mo's ear and muttered something, and Shen Mo nodded to express his understanding.The two turned their backs, and Zhou Jing lightly applied a layer of lipstick on Shen Mo's mouth.

To be honest, it's really ugly. From Zhou Jing's modern eyes, I can't appreciate a big man wearing lipstick.But at this time, the twins and gentlemen of the rich and noble families will paint and paint.It's just not so thick, and it improves the skin tone.

Shen Mo listened to Zhou Jing's instructions, and deliberately raised his lips high. He used it too hard, and his whole lips were pouted. It was a little funny, but it was enough to attract people's attention.

At this time, the pair of master and servant just came out, and Shen Mo walked towards them. When the three of them were crossing their bodies, Shen Mo suddenly let out an 'ouch' and fell to the ground.

The master and servant who were about to leave stopped, and the wife of the magistrate said to the maid: "Tian Xiang, quickly help this husband, and see if he fell down or not?"

Tian Xiang hurriedly went to help people, and Shen Mo was helped up, remembering Zhou Jing's instructions to let the magistrate's wife see his lips, so he didn't dodge and looked directly at the magistrate's wife and said, "Thank you."

His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, on the contrary, unconsciously, the magistrate of the county gave him a high look because of his attitude.At the same time, he also noticed the lip balm on his lips. The texture of the lip balm was moist and lustrous, and the color was bright but not kitsch.

Even the wife of the county magistrate who was born and raised in a wealthy family had never seen this kind of lip balm before, and she was immediately attracted and fell in love with it.

The maidservant grew up with the wife of the county magistrate, and the lady's mind can be best guessed.Immediately stopped Shen Mo and asked: "My husband, I don't know where you bought the lipstick on your mouth. I like it very much and want to buy a box."

This is what I was waiting for, and Shen Mo said directly without hiding: "To tell you the truth, the lip balm on my mouth is actually not lip balm, but lipstick. Not to mention we don't even sell it here in the capital."

Seeing that Shen Mo looked like an honest man, the servant girl didn't expect to speak so freely, so she was unwilling.

He said: "No, where did you sell it? Don't say that a country boy can afford any rare treasures? If that's the case, you can still dress like a beggar!"

The wife of the magistrate of the county was very self-confident and scolded: "Tianxiang, don't be rude." However, there was not much reproach in the tone.

Zhou Jing had already told Shen Mo that this kind of situation might happen, so don't panic and just tell the truth.

Shen Mo had already prepared in his heart, and things were developing according to the plan. Not only did he not panic, but he became calm.

"Girl, I know that it is indeed suspected of nonsense to say this in my capacity, but please let me finish my speech, madam, and you will know what I am telling the truth."

The matriarch of the county saw that he behaved gracefully and spoke in a calm and unhurried manner. He really didn't like a person who likes to preach. Presumably, there must be some hidden secrets that she didn't know. Besides, she really liked that lip service, and she had decided in her heart that no matter how difficult it was, as long as he If she can say it, she must find a way to get it.

When this color is applied on her lips, she will take advantage of her complexion to become more translucent, and then show it to the county magistrate. Those concubines in his backyard are not as beautiful as her because of their young age.

The wife of the county magistrate nodded, and Tian Xiang said reluctantly: "You tell me, my wife will listen to it for the time being."

Shen Mo said: "It's a coincidence that I got this thing, and I should be lucky. Presumably Madam also remembers the heavy rain a few days ago. It rained heavily and lasted for a long time. After it stopped, no one in the village dared to go up the mountain. My husband But I didn’t know what was going on and insisted on going up the mountain. My husband and I stepped on the mud and entered the mountain. About halfway up the mountain, we saw a man in a strange dress lying on the ground with blood on his body. My husband and I stepped on it quickly. I helped him with some common hemostatic medicine, and fed him some hot water we brought with us."

"After a while the man woke up, but he had a pair of blue eyes. I thought it was a monster, so I yelled. But he told me not to be afraid of him, and gave us a lipstick as a thank you. The grace of saving lives."

"At the same time, he also said his identity. According to him, he is from the other side of the sea. The people there are all blond and blue-eyed like him, with strange clothes, and they have many things that we don't have here. This time he came This side is for business, to bring things from the other side of the sea and bring back things from this side.”

"Unfortunately, a storm sank his boat, and he himself was blown to an unknown place, and he was separated from his companions. He originally wanted to go to Fucheng, and asked if anyone knew where he came from. But life I don’t know how to get here.”

"He also told us that this lipstick was brought from his hometown across the sea, and it is absolutely not available here. At that time, I thought it was something for business, and it was not easy to bring it from thousands of miles, so I didn't want it. He thought I thought it was a light thing, so I told me that this lipstick is only affordable by nobles in their place, and one piece is worth several hundred taels in terms of our silver!"

"What, it's several hundred taels, what a scam!" Tian Xiang exclaimed.

Shen Mo deliberately wondered: "He didn't ask me for money, how could he blackmail me?"

Tian Xiang immediately stopped talking, but the magistrate's wife asked, "Where's that person?"

Mrs. County Taiye was born in a business family, and her family has traveled around since she was a child.She had some knowledge, and she also heard from her grandfather that there were people on the other side of the sea. They were not black-haired and black-eyed, but blond and blue-eyed.Many of them have no good things here, and they will come by a big boat. The things on them are priceless treasures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are worth thousands of gold.

One of the treasures is colored glaze, a small piece, the size of a palm, carved so crystal clear that you even have to buy it with gold.

So they said that this lipstick is worth hundreds of dollars, and the wife of the grand master of the two counties believes it, especially when they describe the person they rescued as blond, blue-eyed, and dressed in strange clothes.

Now she just wants to know where that man is, not to mention buying a few lipsticks, there must be a lot of treasures on his body, if her natal family can catch this thread, then...

Thinking of this, the matriarch of the county asked anxiously again: "Where is that person? In your house?"

Shen Mo shook his head: "He left, saying that he has a lot of treasures on him, and if someone finds out, he may be killed. He said that, I dare not keep him. I am a countryman, if I lose something, I will rely on me. I can't afford it!"

Everyone left, and the wife of the county magistrate could only feel sorry for her, thinking that she would send a letter to her mother's family, and if she could find that person, she would buy the goods in her hand no matter what.

Suddenly, Shen Mo said: "Ma'am, your skin is fair. If you wear this color of lipstick, it will definitely look good. It's not as rough as my country husband's skin. It's a waste of good things."

"Of course, our wife is a county..."

"Tianxiang!" The matriarch of the county interrupted Tianxiang's words, and turned to be disappointed: "It's a pity that person is gone."

"Ma'am, don't be sorry. I've brought it with me. You can try it. If you like it, you can buy it when the cargo ship comes from the other side of the sea."

It's easy to say, such a long distance, there are many storms at sea, once in ten or eight years is not bad.

Shen Mo took out the tube-shaped lipstick, and the dark bottle immediately made the well-informed Mrs. Madam of the County fall in love with it.Especially when I found that it was so exquisite and small, it turned out to be twisted out, and I couldn't put it down.
