Chapter 463: Undying
Seeing him like this, Yu Shi did not refute, and continued to eat, and after the meal, she quickly made tea again and brought it to her husband, while he was drinking tea.
As if unintentionally, he asked, "Is there anything new in the city lately?" ”
Ye Zhengde said nonchalantly: "What new things can I know?" I came back every day after leaving the county office. ”
Although he was about to lose his heart and wanted to go to Meixian Temple, considering his purse and the Yu family who was getting older, he could only go home.
No matter what, his current life is much better than when he was in Peach Blossom Village, Yu's skills are good, and he can eat meat every once in a while.
Every day, I go to have a drink with the people in the yamen from time to time, and don't live too arbitrarily.
Coupled with the field tax registration that he is about to be responsible for, he has inquired, this is a fat difference, not to mention that it can be recorded in the account for a few taels of silver, and it feels beautiful when you think about it.
Yu's eyes flashed, and he could only take the initiative to mention what he heard during the day: "Husband, I heard something today. ”
"What?" Ye Zhengde asked casually.
Yu Shi leaned next to him: "Husband, I heard that there is a fat powder shop in the city, and the things in it are very useful. ”
"Now those ladies of rich and noble families in the city have to use them almost every day, and these useless people simply don't have the face to go out."
The more Ye Zhengde listened to his wife's words, the more familiar he felt, and he frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Chunlin fat powder shop?" ”
"Hey, husband, do you know?" Yu Shi looked at him with a strange gaze.
This fat powder is something that women will only use and pay attention to, how can a husband know this?
Noticing her gaze, Ye Zhengde coughed twice and said, "I also know from listening to the conversation of my colleagues, but I haven't seen it yet." ”
"I see, it seems that the fat powder in that shop is really easy to use, and this reputation has spread to the ears of my husband's colleagues?"
Yu Shi looked at him with a pair of big eyes and anticipation.
Ye Zhengde groaned silently, and when his wife said this, the thoughts that he had suppressed for a short time came alive again.
Yu followed him to the county seat for just over a month, and he actually heard about the reputation of this fat powder, it seems that the business of the store is even better than he imagined?
How much money has the second brother's family made these days?
Two hundred taels? No, absolutely not only!
A set of fat powder costs nearly one or two pieces of silver, and even if they partner with others, they won't get less silver, at least... At least five hundred taels!
Five hundred taels? The moment he thought of this number, a glint flashed in his eyes, no, he couldn't just give up, it was better to ..... Tomorrow to explore the real and the false?
He was so focused that he didn't even hear the words of his wife beside him, and when Yu Shi saw him like this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Stretched out his hand and shook his arm: "Husband, husband, did you hear what I said?" ”
"What? What did you say? Ye Zhengde came back to his senses.
"Husband, I want to go around the shop tomorrow and buy a set of fat powder to use ........"
..............
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the second day, Ye Zhengde's figure appeared outside the Chunlin fat powder shop again, and he deliberately left the county office early today.
He agreed to his wife's request yesterday to buy her a set of fat powder.
But instead of going in at once, he stood in the corner opposite the shop, watched carefully, and a quarter of an hour later he stepped into the shop.
Just a moment ago, the store sold five sets of fat powder, and it seems that the business in this store is much better than he imagined!
"Welcome, Lang Jun wants to buy a set of fat powder for the lady in the family? The new gouache in our shop ...... effect"
As soon as he walked into the store, he was greeted by a clerk who introduced him with skillful words.
Ye Zhengde's eyes swept over the shop and asked, "How much silver does a complete set of new fat powder cost?" ”
The clerk replied with a smile: "Nine hundred and twenty Wen, although this price is expensive, the effect of using it is really good, does Lang Jun want to take a set home to the lady?" ”
Ye Zhengde didn't answer immediately, but instead swept his eyes back and forth in the room, noticing that he was the only customer in the store at this time.
He looked at the other party and said, "These rouge gouaches in your store are all brought from Peach Blossom Village, right?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the other party's expression: "What a coincidence, I am the eldest uncle of your second owner, and I am the beautiful girl." ”
When he said this, he stretched out his hand and gestured: "She is probably so tall and has big eyes, her mother, my second brother and sister are probably so tall....."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk who was asked had already recalled the opening day, Ye Hao and Xing, who came to the store, and were about to answer.
When the shopkeeper by the door heard this, his expression was tight, and he opened his mouth to interrupt what the clerk was about to say: "Guest, what do you want to buy?" ”
"If you can't make up your mind, you can ask your lady to come over in person another day, and let my people here put on makeup for her."
"Let's see what color lip grease she's suitable for, so you don't have to buy it back, your wife doesn't like it, doesn't she?"
As he spoke, he glared at the clerk without a trace and winked at the other party.
The clerk is not stupid, she didn't know that she had almost trusted others just now, made a big mistake, and didn't dare to deal with Ye Zhengde anymore, so she turned her head and walked towards the warehouse behind the store.
Ye Zhengde frowned, he suspected that this shopkeeper was deliberate, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, the clerk was just about to speak, and this person came over?
The rhetoric just now was all he came up with early in the morning, in order to be able to deceive the other party, he had heard from the Ma family earlier that the girl had come to the county seat.
Combined with the opening time of this shop, he was very suspicious that the girl was here at that time!
It's a pity that before I heard the answer, I was interrupted by the shopkeeper.
But...... He recalled the look on the other party's face at that time, and it seemed.... Is that what the clerk wants to admit?
Unsure of his idea, the look on his face was naturally not very good-looking, and glancing at the middle-aged shopkeeper, he flicked his sleeves.
dropped a sentence: "Then I'll let my mother-in-law come over another day." ”
turned around and walked out of the shop, even if I asked again, I guess I wouldn't be able to ask anything.
The shopkeeper looked at his back, and the look on his face gradually became serious.
Turning his head, he ordered the people in the store: "Hurry up, hurry up and close the door of the store first, we will close early today!" ”
The other clerks glanced at each other, and all of them responded honestly: "Yes." ”
In the backyard of the store, the middle-aged shopkeeper swept the few people in front of him sternly, and reprimanded: "How did I tell you before? ”
"It's only been a few words, and you almost missed your mouth! Let me remind you of this again, no matter who asks in the future, this store belongs to Zhou Langjun alone, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Eight clerks answered in unison.
