Chapter 20: Rouge Shop
Xiao Xiantang's face suddenly became gloomy, and Mu Chonglan, who was full of curiosity, looked at his face, and was taken aback, and swallowed back what he wanted to ask.
The silence between the three of them seemed to be audible even if a needle fell on the ground, and just when Mu Chonglan thought that he was going to be silent until dark, Xiao Xiantang suddenly said coldly: "Go out." ”
Mu Chonglan looked at Yan Shoucai, Yan Shoucai looked at Mu Chonglan, Mu Chonglan saw that he was still looking at himself, and he didn't have the consciousness to go out quickly, so he kicked the hem of his clothes with his toes, signaling him to go out quickly, lest Xiao Xiantang be angry, and the two of them would suffer together.
"Mu Chonglan, how self-aware are you?" Xiao Xiantang said again, perhaps with her name, and the words were far less sharp than the previous sentence, and there was a little more helplessness, as well as a bit of gentleness that could not be explained.
was driven out twice in a row, Mu Chonglan didn't have such a thick face to continue to stay, rolled his eyes at him, and then walked out.
If you don't let her listen, she won't listen, it's like who is curious...... Not to mention, she's really curious.
Mu Chonglan turned a corner, and then carefully hid under the window, intending to listen to what the two people said, but these two people didn't know if they found her eavesdropping, the voice was very small, she didn't hear anything for a long time, and finally had to sneak out while she was not discovered.
After that, Mu Chonglan tried every means to get close to Yan Shoucai, just to get some clues out of his mouth, but Yan Shoucai was so strict-mouthed, no matter how Mu Chonglan asked him, he was pretending to be dead with his eyelids drooping, and he was really in a hurry, so he would only throw Mu Chonglan's hot potato to his young master, and let Mu Chonglan ask Xiao Xiantang himself.
How dare Mu Chonglan ask Xiao Xiantang, so this matter has been delayed, and another day later, news came from Qingzhou, and Mu Chonglan let Yan Shoucai go.
It turned out that Mu Yuanshan learned that Mu Chonglan had come to Dadu, and angrily sprinkled a few pages of family letters to scold Mu Chonglan, but he was angry, but he made people bring a lot of silver tickets to Mu Chonglan, and asked the person who sent the letter to tell Mu Chonglan that no one in Qingzhou knew about her going out now, and only thought that she was still collecting rent in Zhuangzi.
Therefore, Mu Chonglan can't go back for the time being, so he can only wait for Xiao Xiantang and the others to go back quietly in the team, and after coming back, he must pretend that he has never left Qingzhou, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble.
At this time, no matter how bad Mu Chonglan's reputation is, it is always just strong, if it is known that she has become a wife, she still dares to take a maid to run out, I am afraid that I don't know what to be arranged.
The Xiao family looked at his face, and categorically didn't dare to mention anything like not abiding by women's morals, but this matter must be like a thorn in the eyes of the Xiao family, and if they can't protect Mu Chonglan one day, the Xiao family will definitely talk about this matter.
Mu Chonglan read Xiao Yuanshan's letter twice, and Qinghe counted the silver ticket, which turned out to be a thousand taels.
"The master doesn't say it, but it's actually really good to the young lady."
"Of course." Mu Chonglan grinned.
When Mu Yuanshan took her and her brother Mu Chongguang from the Mu family, they only got a few acres of fertile land and a Zhuangzi, and Mu Yuanshan obviously won the champion, but for some reason he was assigned to the border town of Dangzhi County.
Mu Yuanshan was unwilling, and in order to dredge the official road, he sold the good land and Zhuangzi, so that the father and son lived in the leaky yamen for nearly ten years.
You must know that she was less than a year old at that time, and the result of sleeping with the wind and food was a fever at both ends for three days, and once she burned so hard that she almost lost her life, so Mu Yuanshan indulged her like this at this time, and there was some meaning to make up for it.
"I remember I had a Zhuangzi in my hand?"
"Yes, there is a teahouse and a Zhuangzi, and there is also a rouge shop, and the rouge shop is specially purchased by the master, especially for you to add makeup." Qinghe's words revealed envy, you must know that Mu Yuanshan has not been promoted to the prefect for a few years, and he doesn't have much property in his hands, but he gave Mu Chonglan the most money as a dowry, not to mention, he also bought a rouge shop to support the scene, on the other hand, his father and mother only thought about marrying her to the little servant in the house, and then lived her life with her duty, and did not ask her what she thought in her heart.
"Miss is planning to take over the rouge gouache business?" When Mo Xiang came in, she happened to hear the conversation between the two, so she asked casually.
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, Mu Chonglan just asked about Zhuangzi at random, and planned to move to Zhuangzi to live after he went back to see the situation, but when he heard about the rouge shop business, he was a little moved.
Mu Chonglan has been a wild man who has no one to restrain since he was a child, and as soon as his mind started, he directly took his two maids out of the door, wanting to go to the rouge shop in Dadu to see how people do business, and then go back to take over the business of the rouge shop.
Knowing that Mu Chonglan was going out, Yan Shoucai wanted to persuade him, but Mu Chonglan was stubborn and was a newborn calf, so he had to immediately order the groom to prepare the carriage, and quietly arranged for a few nursing homes to follow from afar, and did not show up until he had to.
The reason why he ordered this was because he was afraid that Mu Chonglan would find out and think that he was asking people to spy on her, but he really overestimated Mu Chonglan, and Mu Chonglan was a fool.
Mu Chonglan, who was full of thoughts that he was about to make a fortune, and then wanted to take his father and brother to find a place to be the emperor of the soil, how could Mu Chonglan have any scheming to speculate whether Yan Shoucai was suspicious, or that although she was not at odds with Yan Shoucai, she subconsciously recognized Xiao Xiantang's vision, and felt that Yan Shoucai was a very reliable person who would not harm herself, so naturally she didn't think much about it, and directly accepted the carriage and coachman arranged by him.
Holding the silver in her hand, Mu Chonglan took Qinghe and Moxiang to a few rouge gouache shops, Moxiang was expressionless, Qinghe was dazzled, everything was fresh, but the cheapest one also had one or two lines of silver, she was categorically reluctant to buy it, so she could only look at Mu Chonglan with a blank eye, waiting for Mu Chonglan to buy it, and she could taste some sweetness.
However, she didn't know that these rouge gouaches, which seemed to her to be fresh, were nothing in Mu Chonglan's eyes, and she could even be said to be very disappointed.
At this time, most of the rouge was made of various petal juice with silk, some gouache was ground with pearls, and some of the worse was soaked in new rice, and then ground and steamed out, which was not monotonous at all, and it was not at all like seven years later.
Seven years later, there are many kinds of rouge gouache, the most famous rouge shop is the Yurong Fang opened by the daughter of the Mu family, Miss Mu Jinse, the treasure of the town shop in the Yurong Fang is a gouache called concealer, it is said that the birthmark brought by beating the mother's womb can be covered, and their rouge is no longer single, but there are more than a dozen kinds of red alone.
