At the fifth watch, a lightning bolt tore through the sky.

Lightning illuminated two pale faces.

One face, hanging upside down from the gatehouse, while the other looked up from below......

Xing Ruyi leaned against the door, still shaking a fan in his hand. A peach blossom was embroidered on the fan, and under the peach tree lay a fox that seemed to be sleeping.

"Are you sure she'll come?"

Xing Ruyi covered his face with a fan and dozed off. As the pregnancy continued, she couldn't see this rainy weather more and more, and at first glance, she felt sleepy.

"It's coming."

It was a guy in the store who replied. But if you look closely, you will find that this guy is a little different from the guys in ordinary stores, and the clothes on his body don't fit well.

The cuffs of the blouse were too short, revealing a large section of the arm. The arm texture is distinct, and at first glance, it is from a practicing family. Looking at that face again, it seemed to be a little more handsome than an ordinary guy, and there was almost no expression on it.

Xing Ruyi looked back, frowned slightly, and said to the guy: "I said Lord Liu, if you are doing this drama, you have to do a full set." Now that you have the tools to clean up, you have to make a show of it, and simply sweep the dust off the ground. And your face, can you have a little more expression. You're so cold, and you're in such a ghostly weather, even if a guest enters the door, you'll be scared away. ”

"It's not going to scare you away."

Yanagi replied lightly.

"Why? Maybe it's because you're handsome. ”

"Of course not." Liu Sheng's ears were hot at the root, and he added: "If a guest enters the door, I will turn around and not let the guest see my face." If the guests can't see it, they won't be scared away. ”

The corners of Xing Ruyi's mouth twitched, looked at Liu Sheng's face, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the coldest joke of the year?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yanagi straightened up and looked at Xing Ruyi suspiciously.

"No, it's not interesting." Xing Ruyi looked at him and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Well, Lord Liu, you better change back into your own clothes."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if a guest enters the door and sees you, they will think that I, the female shopkeeper, are treating people harshly."

"Aren't you being harsh?"

"When did you see me treating my poor boy? Yong'an's shop, it's not like you haven't been there, you ask the boss all over the world, there is one who is willing to hand over the shop he has worked hard to run to the next guy. Only I, only if I am willing to be punished, will I be so bold and courageous, and I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't suspect people. ”

"You're the first woman I've ever seen boast of herself like that."

"That's because I'm worthy of praise." Xing Ruyi proudly straightened her chest: "Or, you can think of some fresh words to praise me." ”

"I won't boast!"

"The master has clouds, he must be ashamed and motivated, know that he will not praise people, and he will not humbly ask for advice, and learn well. I'm doing you a favor, and it's not too much to ask you to come up with a word to praise me. ”

"Thank you Miss Ruyi for your help."

"I'm not a girl anymore."

"Then, thank you Mrs. Yin for your help."

"Forget it, you're not Lin Hu, it's really hard for you to say these words of thanks."

Xing Ruyi put away the fan and sat on the stool, but his eyes were still looking out.

After the Qingfeng Temple's affair was over, she and the fox had originally planned to leave. Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning, I saw Yanagi standing outside the door, with one hand raised, as if he was about to knock on the door.

She asked Yanagi why he was at the door of the inn.

Yanagi replied, "Help." ”

She asked Yanagi again why she knew she was in the inn.

Yanagi replied: "Just ask, and you'll know." ”

Xing Ruyi knows Liu Sheng's temperament, unless he wants to say it himself, on the contrary, even if you ask Potian, you can't ask why.

Then, she became the proprietress of this rouge shop. Temporary, of course. As for why, Yanagi didn't say it explicitly, only said that she should wait for someone here. I don't know who you're waiting for or what it looks like.

Alas!

It's really a headache, but she has a little friendship with it, and she was blocked in the inn by the other party, so she can't say it if she doesn't help.

"Is this rouge shop a replacement?"

Hearing the voice, Xing Ruyi raised his head and saw a woman, wearing a purple dress, holding an umbrella standing in front of the door.

"No substitutions, no substitutions." Xing Ruyi immediately burst into a smile: "The shopkeeper has something to do at home, so temporarily let me come over to help and take care of the shop." Excuse me, what do you need? ”

"Now that I have arrived at the rouge shop, I naturally came to buy rouge gouache."

The woman took the umbrella and revealed a delicate face. When the four eyes were facing each other, Xing Ruyi saw some enchanting style in the other party's eyes.

"Is Madame the temporary shopkeeper of this shop? Why haven't you seen it before? ”

"I'm from my hometown in the countryside, and the girl hasn't seen it, so it's normal." Xing Ruyi laughed with him, and when he heard Liu Sheng cough lightly behind him, he immediately understood that the amorous woman in front of him was the person who would come in Liu Sheng's mouth.

"So, can Madame know rouge?" The woman hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth to ask.

"As a woman, there is no one who doesn't understand this rouge." Xing Ruyi did not answer the woman's question directly, but directly opened a box of rouge and handed it to the woman: "Girl, smell it, how about this box of rouge in my hand?" ”

The rouge in the box has a peach-like pink, and when you smell it, it seems to have a light sweetness. In a trance, it seems to see a young woman standing among the peach blossoms, with low eyebrows and a smile, which is very good-looking.

"It's ......"

"This is my family's new rouge, and it uses ancient recipes." Xing Ruyi closed the box: "I heard that this recipe flowed out of the Han Palace, and it was secretly made by the Empress Wei of the Han Palace back then. Empress Wei knows that she is the queen who has favored the Han Palace for nearly forty years, although it is not all the credit of this rouge, but this rouge is also the icing on the cake, and the credit is indispensable. ”

As soon as Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he noticed that the woman's eyes lit up a little.

"Madame, but is it true?"

"It's really fake, I'm not sure, it's just that this rouge is called Meihua Slave, and its recipe is indeed a Chinese medicine, but everyone who has used it has praised its benefits. Of course, if the girl doesn't like it, I have other rouge recommendations here. ”

"I, can I try it?" The woman stared at the box of rouge in Xing Ruyi's hand, obviously moved.

"Naturally." Xing Ruyi handed the rouge in his hand to the woman: "No matter how good the seller says, it's better to try it out for the buyer." Since I recommend this box of rouge to you, girl, I am naturally a little confident. Well, there's a mirror over there, and the girl can make up the mirror and see if this charming flower slave in my house is as easy to use as I said. ”

The woman took the rouge, took three steps and did two steps, and soon sat down in front of the bronze mirror. On the rouge face, the woman in the mirror seems to be a little more delicate in an instant, and she looks more and more exciting.

"Madame, this charming flower slave, is really different from ordinary mortals. I feel like I'm getting better. The woman excitedly held the box of rouge: "I want this rouge, how much silver?" ”

"The so-called good wine with good utensils, good looks with good makeup, I, a charming flower slave, are also rare to meet people who know how to appreciate it. Speaking of which, the girl is also the first guest to come in since I stood in this shop, you and I are destined, this charming flower slave, just the meeting gift I gave to the girl at that time. ”

"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”

"Girl don't have to be embarrassed, I'm a businessman, so naturally I can't afford to be early. This rouge, although it is given away for free, is not for you to use for nothing, girl. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If the girl thinks it's easy to use, she will help publicize it." Worried that the woman wouldn't understand, Xing Ruyi added: "It's to introduce the rouge gouache in my store to more beauty-loving girls, so that I can earn more money." ”

"It's easy, there are a lot of girls in my yard." As soon as the woman finished speaking, she covered her mouth and nose with her hand.

raised his head, saw that Xing Ruyi was still staring at him, coughed lightly twice, and said, "That, I am the girl in the Begonia Courtyard." ”

"Begonia Temple?"

"It's what ordinary people call Hualou, Qinglou."

"My rouge only recognizes girls, not their origins. Besides, I don't think that the girl in the Begonia Courtyard is a little lower than the girl outside. To put it bluntly, it's not forced by life, but whoever has a choice, who wants to live in that kind of place. ”

"What Madame said is that if there is a choice, who wants to laugh and welcome guests in that kind of place." The woman smiled weakly: "Fortunately, I met a good person and will leave that place soon." ”

"Congratulations girl!"

"Thank you!" The woman nodded, with some emotion in her eyes: "Since this charming flower slave was given by Mrs., Cutting Yun will no longer refuse, and will accept it first with a cheeky face, but Cutting Yun still has a reluctant request." ”

"Girl, please speak."

"Please ask Madame to pick out some more good rouge gouache. Cutting Yun has stayed in the Begonia Courtyard since he was a child, and he also has many good sisters. Now, when he finds a lover, he is about to leave, and when he leaves, he also wants to give those sisters something. In that kind of place, all the people who fancy them are women's appearances, and Jieyun thought that instead of saying goodbye, it would be better to send some rouge gouache, hoping that those sisters can also be like Jieyun, get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and find a lifelong home. ”

"Cutting clouds?"

"Oh, that's my name."

"What a chic name!"

"It's just that my father and mother took it at will, how can it be chic or not. Speaking of which, I haven't used that name in years. Cutting Yun said and lowered his head: "When I was in Begonia Courtyard, I used flower names. Cutting Yun was reluctant to say that he was afraid of soiling his wife's place, and he was also afraid of soiling his wife's rouge gouache here. ”

"Where, where, Miss Cutting Cloud is serious, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just a little difficult."

"Embarrassed?" Cutting Yun looked at Xing Ruyi in confusion.
