Baoyu replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's try it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info wait for Rouge to go to the shop, let's see it as a failure, if it doesn't sell well, let's try to improve. ”

Qingwen was combing her hair outside with a comb, and when she heard the words, she came in and said, "What's bad?" This kind of rouge, the gods can use it, if it's not good, other people's rouge is only worthy of being called mud! ”

Qiu Wen personally sent the clothes over, approached Daiyu's room and said, "What is used by the gods?" ”

Seeing that Baoyu's body was full of red stains, he couldn't help but be angry and laughing, first pushed Baoyu to the compartment to change his coat, took his clothes under the light to take a look, and said:

"I'm afraid that the color of this body can't be washed off, and it will ruin the good clothes. When I go back, the old lady or Mrs. will remember this and I will be scolded again. ”

Baoyu replied with a smile in the compartment, "What are you doing?" I only said that riding a horse and climbing a mountain was scratched by a tree branch, what can they say about you? ”

Qiu Wen said to Daiyu: "Girl, listen, this is not a family that does not know that firewood and rice are expensive, one thing says this, does each one say the same?" Daiyu only sighed with her forehead touched.

Qingwen combed her hair and said, "What are you afraid of, according to me, let's also go to the shop outside, order two sets of muslin robes, cover the outside of the clothes when you make rouge, and take it off when you don't make rouge, isn't it?" ”

Zijuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that in this way, you will have no scruples anymore." ”

Qingwen said with a smile: "It's not just rouge, Baoyu and I are also going to make incense powder, just according to the kind we usually use, use purple jasmine seeds to grind into fine powder and sift it, and then make it into a hosta flower stick-like incense powder, which is stored to make those big girls and little daughters-in-law stunned." ”

Qiu Wen and Zijuan were dumbfounded for a long time, and said, "How much effort does it take to do this?" ”

Qingwen said with a smile: "As long as you borrow a few more little girls from the eldest girl to grind jasmine powder, and then someone helps with the ingredients, Bao Erye can just take a look." ”

Baoyu walked out of the cubicle, changed into a pine-colored shirt, and nodded with a smile.

Daiyu saw that Qingwen and Baoyu were all radiant, with a happy face, compared to when she was in Jiafu Grand View Garden, she didn't know how many times more cheerful, and listened to their proper arrangement, and then thought that she would have to return to Jiafu after only two or three months, and it was difficult to have such a happy opportunity, so she let go of her hesitation and said with a smile:

"I guess it's not just a few people, right? How much more money is allocated to buy flower seeds, make tools, recruit people, and order boxes? ”

Qingwen blushed and said with a smile: "It will take about five or six hundred taels." ”

"The pocket money that Baoyu brought has been quietly invested in to order a batch of enamel boxes, and my private money has also been used to buy seeds. According to Baoyu's idea, if we want to make fragrant powder rouge, we must make the best and expensive that are very different from those on the market, so as to show our good things. ”

Daiyu instructed Zijuan to fetch a thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked people to send a message to the outer courtyard, asking Wang Shun to run errands for Baoyu these days, and let the old housekeeper manage the affairs of the house for a while.

The next day, Jia Zheng went out to use the carriage, and when he saw that the old housekeeper was busy, he didn't feel strange, but said a few words to the old housekeeper with emotion, and then went out to get into the carriage and left.

Baoyu and Qingwen became more and more focused on the preparation of rouge and incense powder.

The people in the workshop also changed batch after batch, and finally all the male workers were sent away, and the female workers and aunts who made rouge were transferred to the outer courtyard to process the flowers, squeeze the flower juice and grind the fragrant powder, and carefully selected a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, dried the rouge paste, sieved the incense powder, and made ingredients and packaging.

Daiyu went to the newly bought shop every two or three days to check the decoration and layout of the store in person.

They were busy until May, and Jia Zheng chose a place to rebuild the academy and approved it, allowing the construction of the academy on a place by the lake outside Suzhou, and the palace also specially recruited a master who designed the garden to be responsible for the design and architecture of the academy.

Jia Zheng was even busier and his feet didn't touch the ground.

He also worked in the Ministry of Engineering for some years, and he also had some vision for architecture, and met a real master of architecture, almost obsessed with it, day and night, either holding drawings and discussing with people from the design academy, or talking to people who purchased engineering materials.

Jia Zheng usually ignores these general affairs, and when he comes into contact with them, he is also a little in a hurry.

Fortunately, Jia Yunmao, who came with them, came out on his own initiative to negotiate with those merchants, so that the price was suppressed, and the manpower was recruited, and the progress of the project was ensured.

Jia Zhengru received divine help and became more obsessed with participating in the design. Feeling the special geography of the lakeside, the designer suggested that it be designed into two different gardens in the north and south, with only a large library hall in the middle.

Jia Zheng praised the wonders, and when he wrote the excerpt and submitted it, he was whimsical, and he had the audacity to suggest that the South Garden should be turned into a women's academy and the North Garden should be turned into a men's academy.

As soon as the excerpt was handed over, the court boiled, and many officials reprimanded them one after another, saying that this kind of behavior was absurd and defiled the sage's study.

Everyone thought that the emperor was going to remove Jia Zheng from his post in anger, and was waiting to see the jokes of the Jia family, when suddenly a decree came out of the palace: after the emperor discussed with the queen mother and the empress, he decided to support Jia Zheng's idea, and invested 500,000 taels to be used as the fund for the women's academy.

Jia Zheng received the support of the palace, and no longer had any worries, and with the help of the Jiaxing County Decree and some of Lin Ruhai's old days, as well as the Jia family's own connections, the design drawings of the academy were finally finalized and immediately put into the building in full swing.

In this bustle, Yang Yanguan, who lost his official position because of his opposition to the construction of the academy, was crazy with jealousy, and went everywhere to gather contacts and find someone to impeach Jia Zheng for him, but he was politely resigned.

Joke, the palace is staring at this matter, planning to do a beautiful thing, leaving a good name that has been praised through the ages, who plans to bump into that annoying fly at this time?

In addition, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's rouge shop also chose to quietly open in May.

Above the shop, there is a plaque of the three words "Qianyunxuan", the door is open, but there is a soft smoke tent of emerald color hanging loosely in front of the door, which is dusty and elegant.

Inside the door are elegant small tables with a small enamel mirror on it, and a white porcelain bottle from an official kiln with seasonal flowers.

On the table was an ice-patterned porcelain box containing a hosta powder; A small white jade box, opened and looked at it, it contained a rose-colored paste, and when you picked it up a little, you could smell the fresh and fragrant fragrance of flowers.

There are also two private rooms in the shop, which are equipped with water and soap, which are specially designed for visitors to remove makeup and change clothes for makeup try-on.

Two or three compartments were divided into two or three compartments with the Duobao Pavilion, on which were placed some strange and interesting ornaments, inch by inch, and different.

On the other side, there is a cover made of glass, and various finished products are placed with rouge and incense powder.

Several girls wore muslin dresses, moved lightly, and smiled brightly.
