The gate of Anping County is wide open, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

The guards at the city gate leaned lazily on the city wall, looking at the passing merchants and walking crowds, there was a large wooden box in front of the city gate, and when the pedestrians passed by the big wooden box, they threw two copper plates into it.

This is called the gate tax.

Wang Wu yawned, the winter sun was warm, and it was very comfortable to shine on people.

Listening to the pleasant sound of the collision between the copper plate and the wooden box, Wang Wu was in a very good mood, this guarding the city gate was a fat shortage, and the city gate tax paid by the pedestrians and merchants who came and went was enough for him to eat a round belly.

If he hadn't had an uncle who was the head of the county government, this fat difference wouldn't have been on his head!

Dada......

The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, Wang Wu instantly became energetic, and the rest of the guards also cheered up.

In the distance, a procession came slowly, led by several tall horses, followed by several flatbed carriages.

Wang Wu's eyes lit up, and he beckoned to the guards around him.

"Brothers, the fat sheep is here."

The guards were also excited, this team looked like a merchant team, they wanted to knock some oil and water out, such a team was the most suitable.

In these years, the status of businessmen is not high, and they still have money, and they are not afraid to make things big after knocking, who will they knock if they don't knock them? !

As it slowly approached the city gate, the speed of the convoy gradually slowed down.

Chen Yan got off the horse a little awkwardly, and with Liu Yueying's support, he strode towards the city gate, and the convoy slowly followed behind him.

Several people paid the gate tax and began to enter the city.

"Stop!"

A voice came from the side, stopping the movement of the group, and following the sound, Chen Yan found that it was a soldier with a rather fierce face.

"This soldier, is there anything wrong?"

Ma Liu stepped forward to negotiate with the soldier.

"Lao Tzu suspects that there are prohibited items in your car and wants to search it."

Wang Wu said arrogantly.

In an instant, Ma Liu's big bald head was dripping with cold sweat, because they really had prohibited items.

Waist knives, bows and arrows, and even Liu Yueying's horse lance are all on the flatbed!

If this is searched, something will definitely happen!

"Haha, Master Bing said with a smile, we are all honest businessmen, where did the prohibited items come from."

Ma Liu said with a haha, and as he spoke, he stuffed a bag of copper plates into Wang Wu's hand very knowingly.

"The soldier has a lot of responsibility, this is my invitation to tea for the soldiers."

Wang Wu flipped the bag in his hand, showed a satisfied smile on his face, and waved his hand.

"Alright, go ahead, I don't think you look like any bad guys."

Chen Yan and the others also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the group also entered Anping City, and the group rushed to the largest rouge gouache shop in the city.

Wanxiang Pavilion!

Looking at the plaque hanging on the face of Wanxiang Pavilion, the corners of Chen Yan's mouth twitched, Wanxiang Pavilion, why don't you call it Yihong Courtyard?!

That's a real ...... to get a name

Without letting Ma Liu and a few people follow, Chen Yan and Liu Yueying walked into Wanxiang Pavilion together, and Chen Yan was amazed as soon as they came in.

Although this Wanxiang Pavilion is called Wanxiang Pavilion, the guests are all men, the housekeepers of large families, and the husbands and sons of ordinary people.

There is not a single woman anyway!

Come to think of it, the feudal etiquette of this era is not a little bit of a restraint on women, and those women who show their heads outside are going to be poked in the back.

This has led to such a situation in Wanxiang Pavilion, where it is clear that the things that are sold are women's houses, but all the people who buy things are men.

As soon as Chen Yan walked into Wanxiang Pavilion, a small group took the initiative to greet him.

"Two sons, do you have anything you want to buy when you come to our Wanxiang Pavilion? Hangzhou's rouge, Jiangnan's gouache, we have everything here. ”

The little guy is very eye-catching, although Chen Yan and the two of them are wearing men's clothes, but the little guy can see that these are obviously two "girls", after all, Chen Yan's face is too delicate, a little not like a man.

In addition, there is also Liu Yueying next to him who is obviously a woman dressed as a man, and the little girl preconceived Chen Yan as a rich lady who was spoiled by a woman dressed as a man to visit the fat powder shop.

But the little guy is very wise to see through it and not to say it, after all, the clothes and materials of the two are very elegant, and at first glance, the family background is extraordinary, and he can't afford to offend a little guy.

"I want to see your shopkeeper."

Chen Yan slapped the fan on his hand and said to the little guy.

"The ...... of the two"

The little guy was a little hesitant, their boss was very busy, and it wasn't something anyone could see if they wanted to.

"There's a big business to talk to him about."

Chen Yan seemed to understand the hesitation of the little guy, and said unhurriedly.

The little guy glanced at the clothes on the two of them again, and bit it and said.

"Okay, you two come with me."

With that, he led the two to a tearoom.

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll call our shopkeeper."

The servant poured tea for the two and left the tea room.

Chen Yan straightened his clothes, sat on a chair, and put the soap he had made on the table in the tea room.

He brought with him four bars of soap, one of which he kept handy for later experiments to show to the shopkeeper, one in an ordinary wooden box, one in a very elaborate wooden box, and one in a fine ceramic box.

"Xianggong, why are you in a different box?"

Liu Yueying asked a little puzzled, she had already used something called soap that her husband had invented.

To be honest, it's easy to use, but she feels that Chen Yan is taking different boxes, and it's completely like taking off her pants and farting - an extra move!

Chen Yan smiled slightly and did not explain.

"I'll take a closer look."

It didn't take long for the two of them to wait, and two footsteps sounded again outside the teahouse.

With a creak, the door of the tea room opened, and just now, the little guy stood respectfully aside, and a beautiful woman with a variety of charms and a mature style walked in.

This woman looks like she is twenty-eight or nineteen years old, she walks with a smoky eye, her body is full of the style of a mature woman, and her eyes are even more rippling in the autumn wind, this is a stunner that is enough to make all men unable to walk.

Her gaze wandered around the tearoom, as if the queen were patrolling her territory.

"Yo, the two sisters of Hao Shui Ling, I heard that you are going to talk to my sister about a big business, right?"

"Wait, damn two sisters, Lao Tzu is a man!!"

The corners of Chen Yan's mouth twitched, what kind of eyes does this old lady have, she can't even tell the difference between men and women, right?

The smile on Wu Linglong's face froze, her eyes looked at Chen Yan, and she blinked a pair of beautiful eyes like water.

"Male...... Man? ”

"Well, look, look, what is this?"

Chen Yan craned his neck and pointed to his Adam's apple.

Wu Linglong turned her head and glared fiercely at the little guy who led the way, and then turned her head with a very hearty smile.

"Haha, this boy is so handsome, just now he was a little girl."
