Chapter 1054: My sister-in-law really cares about her family
"Hello Master Hou!" On both sides of the gate of Qinghe Shopping Mall, several welcome little ladies excitedly saluted their own masters.
"Okay, good work!" Chen Xu smiled and waved and nodded, and walked into Qinghe Shopping Mall.
On the first day of today's big gathering, in addition to Fan Caiying, who had just given birth, Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan, two wives with big bellies, and Shui Qingrou came to the mall with Xinger Yu Ji.
Because in the past few days, more than ten catties of perfume have been concocted, and then a lot of crystal bottles and packaging boxes of various colors have been made one after another, a group of women have been busy for a few days and carefully packaged hundreds of bottles of perfume of various different fragrances, and yesterday's dinner made an appointment for some women to come to experience perfume today.
In fact, perfume has begun to circulate secretly among the people of Xianyang in the past few days, but they are all known from the mouths of several chemical research institutes in the Quyuan teahouse, and some people have seen perfume, which is indeed a magical medicine with a fragrant floral fragrance, and when specifically inquiring about the origin and secret of this medicine, a group of alchemists have become dumb, only saying that it is the latest essential oil and perfume developed by the chemical laboratory, and more news is shaking their heads.
However, although there were very few perfumes in the hands of Fang Shi, some of them still fell into the hands of some people with great powers, and in the end, most of them were sent to the mansion of the prince and princess, and even the forbidden place of Qin Shi Huang, the palace of Concubine Yun in the harem was given a small bottle.
Concubine Yun is the mother of Ying Shiyan, and her status in the harem was not high before, because even if Ying Shiyan is the daughter of the emperor, but in fact, in the eyes of many people, she is just an ordinary royal family, and she is destined to become a tool for marriage in the future to marry the children and grandchildren of a princely princess, and she will basically become an unknown woman from now on, but what everyone didn't expect was that Ying Shiyan actually married Chen Xu, a disciple of the fairy family, Qinghe Hou, so that not only Ying Shiyan's status instantly surpassed many princesses, And Concubine Yun has also been sought after by more people openly and secretly, even Qin Shi Huang has treated her a lot better, and she will accompany her to eat and sleep on weekdays.
Concubine Yun is thirty-six years old this year, and she has reached the age of being old and yellow, and her appearance is much worse than that of many young and beautiful palace maids and concubines in the harem, but for some reason, in recent days, the emperor has been running into Concubine Yun's bedroom every day, and today is the fourth day in a row.
"Madam, Madam, Your Majesty has gone to Concubine Yun's dormitory again!" A little palace maid ran into the concubine's bedroom in a hurry to report.
Concubine Shu is the youngest and most beautiful one in the harem, and she is very popular with the first emperor on weekdays, and she naturally has the most opportunities to sleep, but she is very disappointed for several days, every time she hears that the emperor has come to the harem, but she has been waiting for a long time to dress up and show off her flowers, and the final result is to go to Concubine Yun's bedroom, once or twice, but she has been running for four days in a row, which is also too incredible.
Concubine Shu sat in front of the dresser, looking at a delicate and charming face in the glass mirror, and couldn't help but complain, and at the same time used her brain.
There must be some secret in this, otherwise why did the emperor go to pamper the old Zhuhuang Concubine Yun for several days in a row?
Concubine Yun's bedroom, Qin Shi Huang was sitting on the bed, holding Concubine Yun in his arms, burying his head on Concubine Yun's chest and sniffing the refreshing fragrance of flowers, after a long time, a pair of big hands began to slowly untie the ribbon around Concubine Yun's waist, and as the gorgeous skirt slid down Concubine Yun's snow-white fragrant shoulders, the emperor seemed to be in good spirits.
"Your Majesty~" Concubine Yun suddenly pressed the emperor's hand.
"Aifei is unwell today?" The First Emperor was stunned for a moment and asked softly.
"Your Majesty's atonement, it's not that the concubine is unwell, but that Your Majesty will be physically tired if you spoil the concubine for three consecutive days, and please take care of your body!" Concubine Yun persuaded emotionally.
"The main reason is that the quiet and fragrant aura on Concubine Ai makes me intoxicated, and I can't help but want to be happy with Concubine Ai!" The First Emperor was very intoxicated and sniffed the fragrance of Concubine Yun with his half-closed eyes, and his hands were still very dishonest to touch and pinch Concubine Yun's body, and at the same time explained: "Don't worry about Concubine Ai, although I am not as good as when I was young now, I have been feeling good in the past two years, and I have not felt tired for several days of pleasure, after today, I must rest for a few days, and Concubine Ai is relieved to be ......"
"Since Your Majesty is in good health, the concubine is relieved, please let the concubine dress Your Majesty widely......"
After the sound of stripped clothes, the sound of men and women quickly sounding in the room, so that the group of palace maids and palace people guarding outside the dormitory held their breath and did not dare to come out.
Half an hour later, Concubine Yun came out dressed with red cheeks, walked outside the dormitory and said to the Xuanwu guard commander guarding the door: "Your Majesty is tired and needs to rest, arrange for someone to guard the dormitory, and spread the message that the imperial dining room will prepare meals, and wait for Your Majesty to wake up and eat!" ”
"Whoa!" The Xuanwu Guards saluted and retreated, and soon hundreds of black-clothed Xuanwu Guards roared over, instantly surrounding Concubine Yun's bedroom.
The emperor ran to pamper Concubine Yun for several days in a row, and Chen Xu naturally didn't know, and almost didn't know about it in the entire harem.
At this time, Chen Xu was eating at the fast food restaurant on the third floor of Qinghe Shopping Mall.
Today, I accompanied the emperor to stand on the city tower for nearly an hour, and accompanied Feng Qujian Mengyi and others to visit the market for an hour, and at this time I was already hungry, so I ordered a black pepper steak, two spring rolls and a bowl of porridge to eat, I felt seven or eight points full, so I asked for a cup of hot soybean milk, and drank a wheat stalk and went down to the second floor.
On the second floor, a group of women gathered in Fan Caiwei's weekday office.
Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan, and Fan Caiwei are all there, in addition to the four of them, there are several young women in gorgeous skirts, one of them is Wanwan, and there are a few Chen Xu who don't know, but their status is not low, and they are all luxurious.
On the table in the room, there are several crystal glass bottles of different colors, the colorful and crystal clear colors are very visually impactful, several women are excited to gather together, with the kind of small dropper used in the chemical laboratory to drop the perfume on their hands, apply and smell these different flavors of perfume, and the sound of bowing their heads to discuss is very lively.
Chen Xu knocked on the door, and the women in the room instantly quieted down, but after Fan Caiwei opened the door and saw that it was Chen Xu, everyone hurriedly saluted, and when the other young women who didn't know looked at Chen Xu, there was a strong emotion in their eyes, and there was a spring tide rolling in their eyes, and their cheeks were red and felt like they were in estrus.
"Master Hou, this is the eldest daughter of the household registration Si Lin Shilang...... This is a female official in the palace, and she is also a native of Qi, and she is an old acquaintance with Tian Huinai...... This is the beloved concubine of Lord Yushi Chenggao......"
As the former princess of Qi State, and now the chief dancer and song and dance screenwriter of Qinghe Theater, she is now quite famous in Xianyang, and she is really a person who talks about singing and dancing.
Yesterday I attended the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at Chen Xu's house, because I had a good relationship with Shui Rou Mengwan and others on weekdays, so Wanwan was secretly taken by several women to experience the perfume, and then ...... There is no then, as a dusty woman who has been in Quyuan, she naturally admires this magical perfume that can increase her own charm, and when she left, Chen Xu's three wives also gave her a small bottle of perfume, and made an appointment to let Wanwan find some young and beautiful ladies with rich family resources to experience and buy.
Although Chen Xu's purpose in making perfume is not to make money, just to satisfy his wife's use, but now the family's expenses are getting worse, plus there are Fan Caiying, Fan Caiwei and Meng Wan, three wives who like to do business, so the development of perfume This extremely luxurious business quickly reached a consensus in the house, Chen Xu is responsible for refining essential oils, the water is gentle, Meng Wan and others are responsible for making it at home, Fan Caiwei is responsible for sales, and a group of women decided to support the Hou Mansion's finances with their own hands. Let your husband earn money to support the family, don't work so hard.
Regarding the ideas of several wives, Chen Xu could only raise his hands and feet to express his support.
Perfume is a thing that cannot be produced on a large scale at the moment, so it is destined to be a very scarce resource, and it is not too troublesome to make.
After a simple greeting, a group of women surrounded Chen Xu in the center like a group of stars holding the moon, chattering and asking questions about perfumes, Chen Xu also talked about some of the moods and application occasions of different flavors and fragrances according to some of his own hearsay stories in later generations, etc., of course, most of them were bragging nonsense.
Generally speaking, Daqin is currently short of materials, but his mind is extremely active, and he can quickly accept all kinds of new affairs, and the speed of this recognition and acceptance is getting faster and faster, and every new thing that appears can soon arouse the eager attention and recognition of the people.
And everyone has a love for beauty, and for things like perfume, almost all women can't stop the strong desire for possession, even greater than the temptation of money.
After listening to Chen Xu's popularization of perfume knowledge, a few ladies who were still unsure of which ones to choose to buy also slowly chose the variety and type of perfume they wanted, but after Fan Caiwei quoted the price, they instantly lost their faces.
At present, there are three different fragrance types, and they are divided into nine kinds of packaging of different sizes according to the shade, and the brands are all flower fairies, including osmanthus, chrysanthemum, vanilla, etc.
Among them, the toilet water is the cheapest, the essential oil content is the least, most of it is alcohol and distilled water, the fragrance is very light, and there is a slight stimulating taste of alcohol, in fact, it is not particularly good, but after spraying on the body, the alcohol will volatilize relatively quickly, and it can also maintain the fragrance for a period of time, but it is such a bottle of the most worthless flower water, and the price is as high as a thousand yuan.
Regarding the price of perfume, Chen Xu and a group of wives and concubines got together to talk about it two days ago, because Chen Xu and his wife and concubines had a big difference, so Chen Xu decided to hand over the pricing power to Fan Caiwei to decide.
But at this time, when he learned in person that a bottle of toilet water with a capacity of only fifty milliliters would cost a thousand yuan, Chen Xu couldn't help but shudder slightly among a bunch of women.
Then I was very relieved that this sister-in-law really took care of her family and was very suitable for him to be the shopkeeper of Qinghe Store.
