Chapter 218: Kikyo (1)

In the early hours of the morning, a thin layer of silvery-white frost flowers was spread on the ground, and the cold air around it went straight to the cracks of the bones.

A dark blue carriage was parked in front of the Ruyi Rouge Shop, and the curtain was low and silent.

"Sister, where did you say this carriage came from, why did it stop at the door of our shop." The magpie held a cup of tea, pouting with a look of displeasure. "Do you want me to go out and get rid of it? On such a cold day, the business in our shop is not very good, and if it is blocked again, the fortune will be lost. ”

"How do you know it's here to block money and not to give it away." Xing Ruyi pinched up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth: "I see, I'm here to give us money." ”

"The magpie doesn't believe it, if it's really a guest, why is it spending at the door. It's hard to sit in a carriage than in our shop. ”

"If you want to know the answer, you can go out and ask yourself. Remember, be polite, be kind, we are open for business. ”

"Got it." The magpie put down the teacup, rubbed his hands, and ran out.

"Is there anyone in the carriage?"

The magpie asked, looking down to see through the gap in the bottom of the curtain. It's a pity that it's dark inside, and I can't see anything clearly.

Magpies are mixed on the street when they are small, in addition to observing words and colors, and being able to speak, they have also practiced a skill, that is, to distinguish voices. Her ears are more intelligent than ordinary people's ears. As I got closer, I could hear the sound of breathing coming from the carriage. The breathing was shallow and even, indicating that it was a woman sitting in the carriage, and that she was still a married woman. Because a younger person, the size of her, can't sit in the carriage stupidly, and her breathing won't be so steady.

"Madame, may you reply?" My family is open for business, and it is really not appropriate for your carriage to stop at the main entrance. ”

"Is this a wishful rouge shop?"

The man in the carriage spoke, his voice as if rubbed by rubble, a little harsh and hoarse.

"It's a wishful rouge shop, like a fake exchange."

"Who's the shopkeeper?"

"What do you mean, Madame? I have only had one shopkeeper since the opening of the rouge shop. Oh no, it's two shopkeepers. ”

"Two?" The man in the carriage hesitated for a moment, and muttered, "That shouldn't be the one I'm looking for." ”

"Not the one you're looking for." Magpie frowned: "Then dare to ask Madame what she is looking for, and the shopkeeper is again?" ”

"I'm looking for a shopkeeper with the surname Punishment."

"That's right, my shopkeeper happens to be surnamed Xing."

"But it's called Xingruyi?" The curtain is lifted in a corner.

"It's called Xingruyi."

"But how did I hear that this criminal treasurer is not in Luoyang City."

"If you hear about it, you can't do it. Madame wants to find a Ruyi rouge shop, and my shop is like a fake. Mrs. wants to find a shopkeeper with the surname Xing, the name Ruyi, and the shopkeeper of my family is just called Xingruyi. Oh, by the way, a few days ago, my shopkeeper was indeed no longer in Luoyang City, and our shop had only recently opened for business. ”

"That's it, yes or no, I'll just go in and ask."

"You can not only ask, but also look at it. Our family's rouge gouache is a well-known messenger in Luoyang City, but anyone who comes here is a repeat customer nine times out of ten. The first time Madame came, I had to take a closer look, and when I met someone I liked, I could ask the shopkeeper to give Madame a discount. You, just bring more ladies and ladies over in the future. ”

The magpie was very slippery, and he said a lot of things while people got out of the carriage. As for the lady sitting in the carriage, she was really good-natured, and when she met such a noisy little magpie, she still did not have the slightest impatience and temper.

When the lady stepped out of the carriage, the magpie noticed that the lady's hairstyle was a little strange. Her hair on the right side covered almost half of her face, while the left side was the most common one.

Could it be that there is a new hairstyle popular in Luoyang City?

The magpie touched her hair, and said in her heart, fortunately, she is young, and this woman's hairstyle is really a little unsightly.

The lady saw that the magpie had been staring at her hair, and deliberately stumbled down to avoid the magpie's gaze. The magpie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was his own sake, so he quickly smiled and explained: "Madame's hairstyle is very chic, and if you don't pay attention, you will be fascinated." That, my shopkeeper is inside, madam, please. ”

"Thank you!"

"Madame, you need not be polite. That, I don't know what kind of tea Madame drinks on weekdays, I'll go down and prepare. ”

"Why, do the guests who come to your rouge shop to buy rouge still have tea to drink?"

"There is definitely no rouge shop next to it, but there is a rouge shop on the side." The magpie showed his rather professional smile: "Our shopkeeper said that in the service industry, we must start from all details." Only by getting the details in place can we attract and retain customers. Serving tea is just a very common move in our rouge shop, and our most distinctive thing is private rouge customization. ”

"Private rouge customization? Sorry, I don't quite understand what that means. I don't quite understand what the girl just said, but it sounds fresh. ”

"Actually, I didn't really understand it when I first heard it." The magpie scratched his head and whispered, "It's okay if you don't understand, we have a popular version of the explanation." ”

"A popular version of the explanation?" The lady looked at the magpie very seriously.

The magpie subconsciously licked the corners of his lips, pointed to the rows of rouge in front of him and said, "Madam, please take a closer look, the biggest difference between our Ruyi rouge shop and the rouge shop next to it is that each of our rouges is unique." Although there are similar names and the same packaging, the content is ...... Oh, that is, the rouge contained in it is all different. The modulation process is different, the smell is different, and the effect is also different. Each box of rouge gouache placed here is waiting for its owner. ”

"I know that, I heard a friend of mine say it. She told me that everything in the Ruyi Rouge Shop is only sold to people who are destined for it. Most especially, these rouge gouaches are magical, they are able to satisfy people's inner desires and fulfill wishes that people are usually unlikely to achieve. I hesitated for a long time before I got here. ”

"It's the right place." The magpie led the person to the round table, pushed the snacks on the table to the lady, looked around the shop, and said, "I'll go to the backyard to prepare tea, and by the way, let the shopkeeper come over." ”

The lady glanced at the two cups of tea that had been resting on the round table, and nodded slightly.

"Prepare our lotus leaf tea for Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan was born in a water town, and has been accompanied by Qing Lotus since she was a child, and this tea made of lotus leaves is the most suitable for her. Xing Ruyi walked out from behind the curtain with his stomach up: "Let Mrs. wait for a long time, under special circumstances, I can't help but run to the backyard after drinking so many sips of tea." ”

"Shopkeeper, this is ...... I'm sorry, I didn't know I would disturb you at this time, I was presumptuous. ”

"Madame is polite, my Ruyi Rouge Shop is doing business, and I am the shopkeeper in this rouge shop, and I should share it when I come out to see the guests. Madame, please be seated! ”

"How does the shopkeeper know that my husband's surname is Yuan? It's not that you really have the ability to pinch and calculate. ”

"If I had that kind of ability, I would have opened a fortune teller shop. Perhaps, business is better than it is now. Xing Ruyi smiled lightly, changed his tone, and said: "The reason why I know that Mrs. Yuan's surname is because I went to Mrs.'s shop a few days ago, but Mrs. You were busy with other things that day and didn't notice me. ”

"Has the shopkeeper been to my shop?"

"Qingluo Lane, Yuan Ji cloth, Mrs. was in a daze at her own curtains. The curtain should be some years old, and it looks a little old, but it is well taken care of by Madame. ”

"That's an old cloth." Mrs. Yuan lowered her head slightly: "That cloth is a gift from me in the first year of my marriage to my master." I remember very well that the winter was even colder than it is now, and he came back from outside with the cloth in his pocket. The hair was frosted and turned white. His face and hands were red from the cold. At that time, our lives were not as good as they are now. We live in a thatched hut with leaky wind, and we eat rotten leaves picked up from the vegetable market, but so what, we still feel happy, we still feel happy. Young, really good. ”
