Tang's mother got out of the car first, and Hui Yu took her hand and walked down.

I saw a small shop in front of me, and on the plaque was a few gilded characters of Furui Ji.

A person who seemed to be the shopkeeper was already standing at the door waiting with a few people, and when he saw Hui Yu and the others getting out of the car, he nodded and said busily: "Fourth Master Duan, Third Young Master Duan, Third Miss Chu, I just got the news from the Hou Mansion yesterday, and the little one has been waiting since the morning." Come in. ”

It turned out that the Marquis of Subei had already said hello, and it was strange why the fourth uncle didn't say anything about buying the Tuyi Marquis Mansion......

Hui Yu thought to herself and followed Duan Hong and Duan Zewu in.

The shop is full of all kinds of wooden knick-knacks, including small animals, small people, small gourds and small vases, large and small, all kinds of dazzling.

There seems to be a faint fragrance in the store.

The shopkeeper introduced: "This is made of fragrant wood that is abundant in our northwest, the fragrant wood itself has a fragrance, and it has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects at home on weekdays, and the wood is hard, and the products made will not be deformed for a long time." People in the northwest love to buy it and put it at home, which is not only beautiful but also can smoke incense to avoid insects, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. ”

Hui Yu picked up a small boat-shaped wooden product, and saw that the palm-sized hull, mast, sail, and rudder were all carved lifelike.

Duan Hong also thought these things were quite interesting, so he picked a few small animals and little people, and prepared to take them back and give them to a few juniors. And he bought the big sailboat, the tiger, and the horse, and gave them to some of the brothers.

When it was almost time to buy, Duan Hong and his party went to the next store.

So I went to three or four shops, bought things for play, and wore them, and almost filled half of the carriage.

Hui Yu thought she was going back, but the carriage stopped again.

When I came down, it was completely different from the big store pù I went to before, just in an alley, next to it were some small shops with small doors and small faces, and they looked like ordinary people.

How did you get to such a place? Hui Yu was wondering, but she heard a familiar voice coming: "Girl, you have come to see the slave." ”

Hui Yu looked up and saw that it was Crimson standing at the door of the shop directly opposite.

I saw that she was wearing an ordinary woman's gown, with a pleated skirt underneath, a belt tied in the middle of her waist, and her hair was pulled back into a single bun, and only a golden grate was simply inserted into the bun.

Hui Yu thought that she just happened to meet Crimson, but she didn't expect Duan Hong and Duan Zewu to walk straight into the shop.

Crimson blessed Duan Hong and Duan Zewu and saluted.

Hui Yu took up her crimson hand and looked at her face carefully, only to see that her face was ruddy, and her eyes were full of anticipation, so she knew that she was living a good life. So he said: "It seems that it is the right choice for you to go out of the house, look at your current style, maybe this boss lady has done it very smoothly." ”

Crimson lowered her head shyly and said, "The girl is joking about the slave maid, the slave maid is just a small business to make some money." ”

Duan Hong smiled and said, "The proprietress is modest, I heard that your store was full of customers just a few days after it opened, and many people came here." ”

While speaking, Huiyu and the others walked into the hall of the store, and sure enough, there were many customers around, all buying rouge.

Crimson didn't stop, and directly brought Hui Yu and the others into the backyard, and said, "There are many customers outside, and they are all ordinary women and girls. The wives and ladies of those dignitaries and nobles were reluctant to squeeze in front when they came, so they packed up a few wings in the backyard and made them private rooms for the ladies and ladies to choose rouge. ”

After speaking, he pushed open the door of a side room, and saw a table of eight immortals inside, with a few round stools, and a soft couch next to it, which was probably prepared for rest. There is also a dresser next to the couch, and there is a comb on the countertop. It's very intimate.

Hui Yu couldn't help but praise: "Crimson, I didn't expect you to have such ingenious thoughts, I knew that this was the case, I really should have put you in the shop in the first place." ”

Jiang Hong said embarrassedly: "The slave maid doesn't dare to deceive the girl, these are all ideas that Dongting came up with, the purchase and regularization of the shop are also arranged by him in advance, and the slave and maid are just helping to see the business, and the others really can't help." ”

Hui Yu said with a smile: "Then you have really picked up a treasure, Chen Qianhu is not only good to you, but also can make a living like this, in the future, you just have to give him a good help." ”

Crimson just lowered her head and smiled shyly.

As soon as I sat down, there was a mother who came in with a few little girls, some carrying tea, and some holding brocade boxes of different sizes.

The one who took the brocade box put the brocade box in the middle of the table according to the size and opened it in turn, the original brocade box was divided into small square squares, and each square was placed with different colors of rouge, which was quite a bit of a cosmetic box.

What girl doesn't love beauty? Hui Yu was not only very interesting to see such a variety of colors of rouge, but also had that mother next to her to introduce it in detail, Duan Hong didn't understand, so he just listened to it.

If Hui Yu or Duan Hong are interested, then the mother will try to show everyone on the faces of those little girls.

Duan Zewu was not interested, and he didn't want to buy a gift, so he went out alone.

Hui Yu felt that these rouges seemed to be more delicate than usual, better to apply makeup, and the color was more natural. When I asked, I learned that the raw materials for these rouges were bought from neighboring countries. Because Chen Qianhu walked around the border all the year round, he knew those businessmen who often did business at the border, and once he accidentally saw this rouge pigment, he was very interested, and he had the idea of making a living. Now that I have become a family, I just opened such a shop, but I didn't expect the business to be so prosperous.

Hui Yu remembered the more than 2,000 taels of silver she had in hand, if she could discuss with Jiang Hong to open another branch and make some money as the owner, wouldn't it be better than holding it in your hands? Although I think so, today is not a good time to mention this matter, and I will talk about it when I see Crimson alone another day.

Under the introduction of that mother, Duan Hong quickly picked out the rouge to buy. There are more than a dozen boxes of all kinds of models, but the mother is so happy that she can't close her mouth.

Crimson leaned into Hui Yu's ear and said, "These mothers sell as much as they want, so they can usually work hard to introduce customers." ”

Hui Yu sighed secretly, isn't this just a draw...... I didn't expect Chen Dongting to be so business-minded. I also want to cooperate with the Crimson couple more and more.

After choosing Rouge, Crimson and earnestly invited Duan Hong and the others to stay for a light meal. Duan Hong didn't stay, because he had to pack a lot of things when he went back, Hui Yu was also afraid that the Liao family would be unhappy if he came out for too long, and he also said that he would come back next time.

Seeing that Duan Hong and Hui Yu insisted on going back, Jiang Crimson didn't force them to stay, and gave each of them a box of rouge, only saying that it was a new color that had just been developed, and they went back to try it out and play. Hui Yu and the others naturally accepted it with a smile.

When he got out of the wing, he saw Duan Zewu and Li Che standing in the middle of the courtyard, talking.

Seeing Duan Hong and Hui Yu come out, Li Che of course came over to pay respects, and thanked him again. It turned out that Li Che heard that Duan Hong's uncle and nephew were going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, so he specially asked the gang to bring some things back to Princess Changning's mansion.

Duan Hong and Li Che were polite again.

For some reason, Hui Yu looked at Li Che's face and remembered the unsigned paper in the rouge box before. Holding the brocade box in his hand, he couldn't help but tighten and tighten.

After returning to the Yurong Courtyard, Hui Yu pulled everyone back, picked the lower part of the brocade box, and sure enough, there was a note hidden inside, writing: "After the people from the Guogong Mansion return to Beijing, if there is anything, you can send someone to the red silk rouge shop." "There is still no signature at the bottom.

Although it was just a short sentence of unknown origin, somehow, the sadness that I felt bottomless in my heart because of Duan Hong's departure seemed to fade a little.

Hui Yu glanced at the note a few more times, but it was still burned, and the brocade box was carefully placed in the small box and locked up with the previous rouge box.

Early in the morning of the second day, Huiyu was dressed neatly and accompanied by Tang's mother to the gate of the long house.

The carriage of the Dingguo Mansion had already stopped in front of the door.

Duan Zewu is still riding a tall horse. Duan Hong said goodbye to Subei Hou and others. When he saw Huiyu coming, he beckoned to pass.

Hui Yu saluted Su Beihou and the others one by one.

Duan Hong patted Huiyu on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Uncle is back, you have to take care of yourself." ”

As soon as Huiyu heard this, tears couldn't help but welled up, so she had to choke up and say, "Fourth uncle, Hui'er will miss your ......"

Chang hurriedly took Hui Yu's hand and said, "Look at your kid crying, it's not like we won't see each other in the future..."

Duan Hong also comforted Hui Yu a few words, and asked Su Beihou, Chu Pei, Chang Shi, and Liao Shi to take care of Hui Yu, and then got into the carriage.

As Duan Zewu rode forward, the carriage behind him also followed.

Duan Hong stuck his head out of the car window, looked back at Hui Yu, and waved his hand.

Hui Yu also waved her hand until she could no longer see the carriage.........
