Out of the garment shop, the Wang took the three to the second shop, this shop sells rouge gouache, the variety in it is also staggering, almost all over the famous rouge have, in addition, the shop in this shop is also very unusual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These people wear outstanding dresses, they are dressed very new, they are very polite when they speak, in addition, there is a very special talent, such as Queen Zhang After the three entered the store, they will recommend the rouge suitable for them according to the skin color and age of the three, which person uses what kind of rouge is better, and what kind of gouache can make different people look new.
Empress Zhang already loves people who are powdery, and after talking to them, she can't find fault with them, so she can't help but say: "Where are you from, why are you so proficient in so many things?" ”
The shopping guide just smiled and said, "Madam, this is what the slaves have learned since childhood, so they have a lot of experience." ”
Very general vague past, in fact, their real identity, but is the high-end green building everywhere, in the green building, although there are fireworks women who sell laughter, there are also those who have learned makeup since childhood, they have been sold to the dirt since childhood, but because the birth is not moving, naturally can not go out to entertain guests, so since childhood began to train, for people to make up for powder, of course, such a business, but also only exist in the high-end green building, their skills, after years of tempering, naturally than ordinary women are a lot smarter.
Empress Zhang didn't doubt him, she couldn't help but smile and asked the shopping guide to choose powder for her, and then began to put on makeup.
"It's really interesting here." Empress Zhang couldn't help but say sincerely, and her heart was also happy, her experience had been, if she really opened the door here to do business, I was afraid that there would be a lot of distinguished guests at that time.
Out of the Fan Dai Building, then it is a strange place, called the comb pavilion, go in to see, only to know that this is a place for people to comb their hair, but the comb here is not the same as the combing of ordinary places, they draw down a lot of hairstyles with drawing paper, up to 100 kinds, according to the needs of the guests, comb out a variety of hair styles for them, in addition, you can also wash your hair with soap, flowers and the like for the guests, in fact, for the nobles, which family does not have a few slaves who specialize in combing hair, but obviously this is more new.
This combing pavilion is obviously only incidental, and the ladies will also come in their spare time.
Comb the back of the pavilion, is the tea shop, the tea shop is naturally not an ordinary tea shop, divided into the piano room, the study, the painting room and the tea room four kinds, many of the ladies are beautiful, also like to chant poems and paint, women talk about the length of the family, while learning some elegant art, can also attract the attention of many people.
In addition to these four, there is also a card room, people who do not know still think it is the archway, in fact, here, but it is playing leaf cards, but also for people's pastime.
Empress Zhang looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but stop in front of a shop, and said curiously: "What kind of place is this?" ”
Zhu Yueluo and Duoduo also feel more and more interesting, although they can only look at the flowers, but for their daughters, they feel extremely interesting, almost everything with a kind of freshness, and here, you can always find something that interests you, as a woman, in this era of entertainment is really pitiful, every time you are locked up at home, you feel sorry for yourself, and even on the street is a luxury, now there is such a thing, neither will they say that they are against women's morals, but they can also be here to entertain and buy things they like, It's a lot of fun.
This door face is indeed a little different, it is not big, but it is empty, there is nothing, not only Queen Zhang feels strange, but Duoduo and Zhu Yueluo don't know what the name is.
Wang smiled and said, "Madam and the two young ladies, please come in, just go in." ”
Entering this shop, it is even more strange, on the wall of this shop, there are a lot of portraits, these portraits are framed in wooden frames, are all women's postures, there are anger and anger, there are joy and joy, these portraits, the image is more realistic, are first sketched with ink, and then dyed with watercolor, if this kind of painting is put outside, I am afraid that those who read books will scoff at it, the real good painting, never the pursuit of realism, but the emphasis on verve, charm to come, can be thought-provoking, but for ordinary people, This kind of realistic painting method is very kind.
Wang went to find a painting, which had not yet been framed, and sent it to Empress Zhang, saying, "Madame, please see, this painting is slave, does Madame think it looks like it?" ”
The person in the painting is really Wang, Empress Zhang took a serious look, looked at Wang's again, and found that this painting actually looked a little like, and couldn't help but be amazed: "What's the use of this?" ”
Wang said with a smile: "This is called a photo studio, Madame think about it, these years are ruthless, the years are always easy to pass, the ladies and ladies of each family are free, change into a new dress, let the female painter here paint a picture for them, frame it, wouldn't it be left as a souvenir?" ”
Empress Zhang couldn't help but suddenly realize, and said in her heart that if she changed herself, she would really be interested in leaving a painting here, which would be interesting, and second, she could keep her self at this time, not only when she was dying and old, but also when she was old, but also when she was old, and her children and grandchildren could also see it in the future.
Duoduo said with great interest: "Come, come, paint me." ”
Wang smiled and looked at Empress Zhang, Empress Zhang said angrily: "It's not early, let's go shopping again, this painting is down, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, just today, if you like it, let Yueluo accompany you next time." ”
Duoduo was very excited when she heard it, usually the queen mother has always been very strict with her, and rarely let her out of the palace, but now, she is promised that she can come to this beauty shop, which means that as long as Zhu Yueluo agrees, she can be invited to play.
"Mm-hmm......" Duoduo's little head nodded busily, looking very well-behaved, and her heart was happy.
Queen Zhang looked at her lovingly, thinking to herself, she was pitiful in the past, there was no place to play, and she was still not at ease, but now with this beauty square, she must not worry that she will go crazy, let alone worry about any danger.
Zhu Yueluo pursed her lips and smiled, and she was even more shocked in her heart, along the way, I don't know how many shops, what kind of tricks there are, as long as someone comes for the first time, for those ladies and boring ladies, I am afraid that they are willing to come every once in a while.
When you come here, you will inevitably eat tea, taste books and pianos, occasionally put on makeup, or comb your hair, or buy some gold and silver jewelry and dresses, and as long as you attract them, with their identity, they will naturally be rich.
Go further, there are many shops, there are all kinds of strange things, there are actually special dried fruits and candy shops, women love to eat some snacks, and dried fruits and candies have always been popular, usually for those ladies, to eat these, just send someone out to buy it, but Zhu Yueluo faintly felt that these things were more interesting to pick and eat by themselves, and they were more willing to buy them in person.
At the end of the street corner, it is a grand building, called the Performing Arts Pavilion, walk into it to take a look, and find that it is very spacious, there are many seats on the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor, and there is a high platform in the innermost, Queen Zhang can't help but ask Wang: "What are you doing here?" ”
Wang said: "This is called the art pavilion, naturally for the ladies and ladies to show their talents, the beauty of the square every month on the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year will hold a grand party, performance of a variety of programs, such as poetry, painting, playing the piano, so that the ladies show their strengths, as long as there are skills, you can sign up to participate, when the time comes, there are gifts, just like the imperial court imperial examination, score out of the first, second, champion, tanhua, and other guests, if they are free, they are sitting here to support their relatives and friends to encourage, can also be used as a judge, In fact, it is to set off the atmosphere, just like a temple fair. ”
Empress Zhang nodded again and again, thinking to herself, this seems to be interesting. So he asked this Wang: "This beauty shop is really interesting, this ...... Mrs. Ben also likes it very much, but I don't know, will this beauty shop really be profitable? ”
Wang said: "The proprietors have speculated before, there is never a shortage of dignitaries and businessmen in Beijing, there are more than 10,000 businessmen in Beijing alone, plus the adults of each family, their female dependents add up, at least not 100,000 but also 70,000 or 80,000, so many female dependents, every time they stay at home, in fact, it may not be a good thing, but with this beauty workshop, they can be attracted to the beauty shop when the time comes, there are dresses to sell, there are rouge gouache, you can also learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the most important thing is that you can take a walk here." , with their net worth, they can spend ten taels of silver here at will a month, and they are afraid that they can have millions of taels of silver in a year's surplus, how can there be no income? ”
Empress Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and said, "So much? ”
Zhu Yueluo said: "Mother, in the eyes of her daughter, I'm afraid that this number is only a lot more, my daughter used to stay in the boudoir, this boudoir is really stuffy, if there is really such a place, it is common to come a few times a month, in fact, for the ladies and ladies, a few taels of silver is really nothing, for them, the most depressing thing is that there is silver, and there may not be a place to spend, and the business of Beauty Fang will be prosperous in the future." ”
Duoduo said: "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely come, every time I come here to buy something, come here to drink tea, learn to play the piano, and I won't be bored in the future." ”
