Thank you for the peace charm of Tianmen Guoguo!

Today's second update, I hope to add three more collections, so that "Plain Hands and Fertile Fields" will increase by 50 collections a week on the Qingyun list!

Before leaving, Yan Xiaoyue found fifteen young, beautiful and literate women in Zhuangzi, and all signed a five-year contract to take to the imperial city.

The rest of the time, Satsuki personally trained them, so that they could learn to greet guests with a smile, skillfully introduce products, serve guests to try various products, and finally teach them makeup.

In this era, women made up four steps, one was to apply lead powder, two to draw eyebrows, three to wipe rouge, and four to wipe lipstick. And Satsuki teaches modern makeup techniques, which is also the business that Satsuki trained before going to work in her previous life, focusing on drawing eyes, Silver Bottle is researching more colors of eye shadow, now there are only red, pink, pomegranate red, rose red, purple, using eyeshadow and sharpened eyebrows to draw eyeliner to create exquisite eye makeup, but unfortunately there is no mascara, otherwise it will be more perfect.

After a month of practice, after each person used up three sets of cosmetics, the effect was amazingly good, among which the best learned one was named Zhao Li, twenty years old, very upright and generous, because she could not have children and was abandoned by her husband's family, she was the cousin of an embroidery girl in the manufacturing workshop, and she had nothing to worry about, this time she was the first to take the initiative to ask to go to the imperial city with Yan Xiaoyue.

After Yan Xiaoyue discovered Zhao Li's talent, she taught her alone for a period of time, intending to train her to become a qualified store manager.

At the end of March of the seventh year of Emperor Zong, Yan Xiaoyue, who had just passed his fourteenth birthday, took Xiaoxiao and a group of women's soldiers to board a passenger ship and went to the imperial city.

This time, Xiaoyue only left the silver bottle, and took Jin Ling, Jin Qiao, Quan Xiuxiu and the three little maids away, and the fifteen women's army, eight of them had husbands, and they all followed. This group of women's soldiers is basically between twenty and twenty-eight, three are divorced and four are widows.

Satsuki chartered a merchant ship alone, there were no other customers on board, Satsuki recruited the women's scout training every day, and divided them into two parts according to their results, one part was downstairs to receive guests and introduce products, and the other was upstairs to wash the guests' faces, massages, and makeup.

After nearly a month of sailing, I finally saw the port of the Imperial City, and when the big ship next to it was parked, the boat that Yan Xiaoyue was sitting on stopped next to it. Jin Qiao drove the carriage off the ship and began to ask the boatman to help unload the goods.

"Satsuki!" There was an excited call from the shore, and I saw Mu Zigui standing on the pier in a brand-new blue robe, and the people around him seemed to have become his foil, "Brother Zigui." With Xiaoyue's delicate shout, the person also rushed out in an instant, hugging Zigui, "Brother, I'm back." ”

Zigui looked at the smiling face in front of her, her nose couldn't help but be a little sour, four years and seven months, she finally came back. The people who are concerned about every day are more gorgeous and dazzling than in the impression, although Xiaoyue was beautiful when he was a child, but he didn't expect her to be so stunning when she grew up, he could feel that the burning eyes around him seemed to burn him, especially on the big boat next to him, he felt that there was a sight that had been staring at him.

Zigui put the basket cloak on his arm and put the hat on Xiao Yue, and then asked someone to carry the goods into the carriage. Zhao Li's group of women's army followed Jinbao away, and Xiaoyue took Xiaoxiao out and introduced, "Xiaoxiao, this is my eldest brother Mu Zigui." "Brother Zigui, this is my sister Yang Xiaoxiao who I told you in the letter."

After the two met the ceremony, Zigui said, "Let's send Miss Yang home first." ”

"Okay." It wasn't until Xiaoyue got into the carriage that Zigui looked back in the direction of the big boat, and saw a man in purple standing on the deck, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he got on the carriage and drove the carriage to Mao'er Street in the Eastern District.

When they arrived at the Yang Mansion, Uncle Shan greeted them at the side door, led Xiao Yue and the three of them in, met Fang Yajie, and handed over all the things to her, Xiao Yue followed and said goodbye, "Xiao Yue, you don't live here?" I've got a room for you. ”

Xiao Yue declined and said: "Mother-in-law, no need, my brother and I live in the West District, I have been busy recently, and I will come to visit you when I settle down." ”

In Xiaoxiao's reluctance to leave the Yang Mansion and return to the shogunate, the osmanthus tree in the patio was also replaced by a begonia, full of flowers, and seeing that Zhaocai was directing people to carry luggage, Yan Xiaoyue said to him anxiously, "The big box of sour branches and wood is carefully moved, but it is loaded with what I transported back from Nanyang, and it is precious." ”

"Miss, you can rest assured that I will do things, I have been running around with the young master in the past two years, and I don't know how many goods I have moved, and I have never broken them."

"You're talking a lot of nonsense, just be careful. Xiaoyue, let's go into the house, just have a fortune here. After speaking, he took Xiao Yue through the corridor to the backyard, which is exactly the same as before Xiao Yue left, and the garden is full of flowers and plants planted randomly by Xiao Yue with a bunch of flowers and plants in the east and west of the maid, and this season is in full bloom. The room has not changed, it should be cleaned up often, the house is kept very well, Xiaoyue is on the couch, holding the pillow made by herself, looking around, "It's still the same here, nothing has changed." Brother Zigui, thank you really for all these years. ”

Zigui smiled slightly, "Xiaoyue, do we still need to be so polite between us?" It's just that you've been gone for more than four years, and you haven't come back, and you haven't let me see you, do you know how worried I am? Especially when you went to Nanyang alone later, there was no news, it really made people crazy, do you know? As he spoke, his tone became cold.

"Oh, Zigui brother, you said me several times in the letter, didn't I come back intact? I just want to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and see if there will be a chance in the future. You don't know, there are a lot of interesting things in Nanyang. There is no land for the people who are near the sea, and the food and clothing are all from the sea, and the sea is magical, and I also learned to swim in the water, and collect pearls in the deep sea, and many beautiful fish have swam past me, and once, there was a fish that kissed me, and I jumped. Hehe, by the way, I also found a glass mirror on an island called the Jurchen Kingdom, but it is clear, and the pores of the person who shines it can be seen, and it is contained in a sour branch wooden box, and you will help me find a good craftsman to make a dresser. ”

As soon as Xiao Yue said it on the phone, Zigui shouted to stop, and didn't break her careful thoughts, "Okay, let's talk about these things later." I'll tell you about our business first, and you'll have to look at the account books. ”

Xiao Yue waved her hand, "Brother, do you and I still have so much clarity, I have used so much money in the past few years, and you have not earned it back." After speaking, his tone changed, "Brother Zigui, we already have enough money, but why haven't you found me a sister-in-law yet, so that someone will take care of you, and the family will not be so deserted." ”

"We'll talk about that in two years."

"You've been saying this for three years. You're twenty-two now, big brother, and you're delaying......"

"I know this in my heart, by the way, when will you go to see the store you asked me to buy, it can only be bought with the help of a friend of yours, otherwise we won't be able to enter Changsheng Street at all."

Satsuki said strangely, "My friend? Who? ”

"He said that his name was Ziye, and he sent you home during the Lantern Festival one year, and later came to look for you a few times, but then you went out. When I went to Cheong Shing Street to ask about the store, I happened to meet him, and I heard that you were coming back to open a store, so I sent the title deed of the store the next day. ”

"Did you give the silver?"

"Of course I gave it, according to the market price, a thousand taels, and the title deed was put in the drawer of your room, and it was also transferred."

"That's good, so I don't owe him too much. Then I'll check it out tomorrow. ”

"Okay, you're tired today, so take a good rest. By the way, I arranged the group of women I brought in the store, and there was a yard behind the store, where the single people lived, and there were eight couples, and I asked them to find another house for them, and they all lived together. ”

"That's very good, although I've said it many times, but I still have to say it again, Brother Zigui, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done what I wanted to do so smoothly, you are really my nobleman."

Zigui smiled, "Okay, your noble is going to do things for you, you can rest early, and I'll take you to see the store tomorrow." ”
