Liu Changting has been gone for more than half an hour.

The kitchen sent rice porridge and snacks, and Liu Yunyi kept them and planned to eat them with Liu Changting, but when Liu Changting came back, everything was cold.

Liu Yunyi wanted to ask what happened, but Liu Changting shook his head and said nothing, "I'll have to go back to Xiaocheng later." The third sister will only live in my courtyard in the future, if someone gossips or someone bullies you, just tell your brother, brother will not let you be wronged. ”

When he said this, the calm eyes rarely saw a trace of anxiety and anger.

Liu Yunyi understood that what Zhao Yuanyuan talked about must be related to her.

However, Liu Changting was reluctant to elaborate, and Liu Yunyi was not good at digging deeper, so he could only nod his head and repeatedly promise that he would take care of himself, so Liu Changting was relieved.

After breakfast, the servants also prepared their carriages and horses.

Liu Yun insisted on sending Liu Changting out of the city, but Liu Changting couldn't resist her, so he could only agree.

Fortunately, the weather is good today, and the streets of the capital have always been lively, which somewhat dilutes the unpleasantness of the morning. When he arrived at the city gate, Liu Changting's face was no longer much gloomy.

Liu Yunyi also put his mind at ease. Although the relationship between Liu Changting and Zhao Yuanyuan is not very good, if the gap between the mother and son is deeper because of her, she will still be unhappy.

"Brother, take care." Liu Yunyi gave him a hug.

"The third sister is." Liu Changting habitually rubbed her heart.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Although we don't actually spend much time together, fate is sometimes such a strange thing. Some people get along with each other every day but still act like enemies, and there are people who see each other many years later but are still intimate.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and Liu Changting's figure was so small that it was almost invisible, so Liu Yunyi was reluctant to withdraw his gaze, and then glanced back at the magnificent word "Beijing" on the city wall.

In the future, if she wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital, she can only rely on herself......

But she's so motivated!

Xia Ju urged on the side: "Miss, let's go back." ”

Liu Yunyi didn't pay attention to her, but untied the cloak with delicate embroidery on her body, and she was still wearing the ordinary clothes she bought before.

Elaborate clothes are too conspicuous to be seen. Similarly, she covered the birthmark on her face, at least for the time being, and she didn't want to be recognized.

"Miss, what are you going to do here?" Chunlian wondered.

Liu Yunyi winked at them: "I want to go shopping on the street, you ask the coachman to find an alley to drink tea, and wait for us to come back." ”

Chunlian was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "There happens to be a big gathering these days, and the city is full of peddlers and pawns, and the fish and dragons are mixed, so why don't you go shopping in a few days, when there are fewer people on the street, it will always be safer?" ”

Liu Yunyi: "You seem to have some truth in what you said. ”

Chunlian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Miss understands." ”

"In that case, then I'll go to the Qinglou!" Liu Yunyi wrote "retreat to the second" with his face written all over his face, so he had no choice but to make this decision.

Chunlian: ???

Xia Ju also collapsed.

The daughter of a dignified official family, opened her mouth and closed her mouth to say that she was going to visit the Qinglou, if this was spread out, wouldn't it cause the entire Shangshu Mansion to be ridiculed?

Liu Yunyi was still quite satisfied with the expressions of the two: "Do you think now that you would rather choose to let me go shopping?" ”

The two maids nodded impatiently.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and go shopping!"

Two maids: "......"

I always feel that I have been tricked by the third lady.

As Chunlian said, there has indeed been a big gathering in the city recently, and the streets are full of people, so it's no wonder that it was so lively in the carriage just now.

This is much more interesting than the dull Shangshu Mansion, Liu Yunyi didn't want to go back more and more, and stopped and stopped along the way, eating and drinking everything. Chunlian and Xia Ju were reluctant at first, but after eating two strings of sugar gourds, they didn't say anything, and they were happier than Liu Yunyi.

However, Liu Yunyi's purpose today is still very clear - market research and finding people who can help her make things.

Prices in Beijing are generally higher than those in other places, but the competitiveness of all walks of life is also quite large, and the fat powder industry is no exception.

Among them, the "Butterfly Love Flower" operated and managed by Zhao Yuanyuan, and the "Fengyu Pavilion" under the name of the Xu family, the richest man in Beijing, are the two most powerful in the fat powder industry, with two or three branches in Beijing, and many small branches that sell products that are relatively close to the people.

It can be said unceremoniously that Butterfly Love Flower and Fengyu Pavilion have almost monopolized all female customers in the capital.

If Liu Yunyi wants to open a new store, he will be under a lot of pressure to break out of the encirclement under the bag of these two companies.

The good news, however, is that the competition between the small branches is relatively free, and the main store does not interfere too much. But if you join a branch, it will be troublesome to follow up.

Either way, there are pros and cons.

However, Liu Yunyi's volunteering is not just as simple as supporting his family and earning a little money. She has a rare system in the world, and she is still a future person, she doesn't believe that she can't break through the world in ancient times!

After walking around the street twice, Liu Yunyi chose a jewelry store, and after leaving Chunlian and Xia Ju outside, she walked around a little and then went to the next jewelry store.

Just looked for them one by one, and it wasn't until he entered the fifth jewelry store that Liu Yunyi showed a smile on his face.

This jewelry store is called Lin Kee Silver Shop, the store is not big, even a little old, located in the inconspicuous corner of the long street, and you can't even find it if you don't look carefully.

But after Liu Yunyi came, he didn't want to leave.

Although it is called a silver shop, there are quite a lot of things bought in the shop, including silver, copper, and jade, as well as all kinds of exquisite head flowers, small pendants with strange styles, and even small mascots.

The most important thing is that the styles of these things, especially the carvings, are very ingenious, not the same products, and they are very much liked by Liu Yunyi.

The proprietor was a woman with a somewhat eccentric temper, dressed modestly and without powder. Her appearance is not ugly, but it is full of spots, and her face is serious and unsmiling, which makes her look somewhat rigid and sharp, and she is not very close.

What made Liu Yunyi feel strange was that she looked about thirty years old, but her hands were extremely delicate and beautiful, with slender fingers, rounded nails, slender and powerful, and she looked like she was in her teens.

Liu Yunyi couldn't help but stretch out his dry hand and compare it, instantly ashamed of himself.

It seems not surprising that such a pair of hands can make so many delicate and interesting things.

It's just that what makes Liu Yunyi a little depressed is that from the time Liu Yunyi walked in to the present, this woman hasn't looked up at Liu Yunyi, and has been sitting behind the counter tinkering with something, and her mouth is still chattering.

Liu Yun wanted to talk to her, but she directly raised her head and glared at Liu Yunyi and said, "Wait." ”

Liu Yunyi was a little annoyed, after all, who can open the door to do business with this attitude?

But after seeing what she was doing in a blink of an eye, Liu Yunyi quieted down.

"This is Kong Ming Lock?"

The woman finally took care of her: "You know this? ”

Of course you know? Can she say she's played with this stuff since she was six years old?

Kong Ming lock is also called a difficult lock, without nails and ropes, completely supported by the connection of its own structure, it seems to be simple to solve but difficult, but once the first one is disassembled, it will be easy to follow.

She was obviously stumped, no wonder her temper was not very good.

Liu Yunyi looked at it a few times and found that the Kong Ming lock in her hand was more cumbersome than the ordinary one, so it would be more difficult to solve, even if she did, it would probably take some time.

"Why don't I try it, I might be able to solve it." Liu Yun smiled happily.

"Little girl, her tone is not small." The woman sneered, believing that Liu Yun meant to say big things.

Smart as she is stumped, what can she understand as a little girl!

Liu Yunyi was not angry, and since she grabbed the Kong Ming lock in her hand, she began to disassemble it according to the method in her memory.

One second, two seconds......

The disdain on the woman's face became more and more obvious, waiting to see how Liu Yunyi stepped down.

Unexpectedly, after a small half of the tea, every section of Kong Ming's lock was arranged clearly by Liu Yunyi, and he lay on the table in a uniform manner.

The woman's expression also completely changed to shock.

"Girl, how did you do it!" The woman's tone had changed.

Liu Yunyi smiled: "Secret! ”

This Kong Ming lock is really more difficult than she used to play, but fortunately, she was lucky, and she was confused, otherwise this woman would definitely have to laugh at her.

“…… Hum! The woman arrogantly brushed off her head, fiddled with the Kong Ming lock again, and tried to form it back.

But this time, she was finally willing to deal with Liu Yunyi, and asked: "Little girl, you have been in my store for most of the day, but you haven't bought anything, what are your plans?" ”

Liu Yunyi said in his heart that it is really not easy to do business with people now, and she has to learn to unlock Kong Ming's lock first, otherwise people will ignore her. But these words also complained in her heart, who told her to fall in love with other people's carving skills?

Thinking of this, Liu Yunyi didn't beat around the bush, took out a few drawings directly from his arms, and handed them to the woman one by one.

Liu Yunyi paints a combination of nine brushes, an oversized foundation brush, a gentle rouge brush, a flowing powder brush, a contouring brush, a concealer brush, and two large and small eyeshadow brushes, an eyebrow brush and a lip brush.

Liu Yunyi not only gave a general appearance, but also carefully marked the purpose, as well as the feel and texture of the brush, as well as the size.

After all, she was a designer by profession in her previous life, and making drawings or something is also her forte, but she is not a professional painter after all, and she can't sculp, so the pole of the brush still has to be designed by professionals.

"I want to customize a batch of copper brushes for myself, I hope you can help me design the pattern and style, and the hair used in the brush must be pony hair or goat's hair, if you don't have it here, I will find a way to send it."

The woman may have lost to Liu Yunyi because of the solution to Kong Mingsuo, and she is still a little annoyed, and her tone is lazy: "What are you going to do with this brush?" ”

Liu Yunyi didn't hide it from her: "These brushes are all used for makeup, and the style doesn't need to be exquisite, just look unique and beautiful." ”

After all, makeup brushes are really no special products, Liu Yunyi can already foresee that other businesses will copy this in the future, so she just wants to make it distinctive, so that customers can remember.

In addition, if the design is too beautiful, it is destined to be impossible to produce in large quantities, and the cost will be too high.

I thought it would be strange for the woman to use these brushes, which looked like brushes, to make up.

Unexpectedly, the woman listened to it, and nodded quite approvingly: "It looks pretty good, you can actually think of such a method, your mind is wonderful." ”

After speaking, he touched his chin, and after a while, he lazily continued: "Okay, I'll take this job, I'll do it as soon as possible, you just wait...... Well, come and get it next month. ”
