Chapter 367: Hibiscus Noodles (1)
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, the cloud family has swept away the haze for many days, and it has become more and more lively, especially those shops selling rice grain, customers are coming and going, and even the stalls selling pork and mutton next to them are booming.
Looking at the liveliness of other people's houses, and then looking at the desertion of her own shop, Xing Ruyi became more and more less interested in doing business, she took a sip of hot tea, pushed the fox with her hand, and asked: "Do you want to?" Let's also sell rice grains. This Yunjiaji is not Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and it is approaching the end of the year, all of them are buying food and drinking, and our rouge gouache is not welcome. β
"What? Eyes red. β
The fox asked with a sideways face, his eyes full of smiles.
"Yes! Eyes red. Not only is his eyes red, but he is even more jealous in his heart. You said that this is the New Year, other people's shops are making money, but our Ruyi rouge shop, I haven't seen a single guest come to the door for several days. Seeing all the white flowers and silver flowing into other people's pockets, my eyes were not only red, but my heart was about to hurt. β
"It's pathetic!"
The fox tugged at her lips, wanting to comfort Ruyi, but when she met her complaining eyes, she couldn't stop laughing.
"Why don't we close this door? The so-called out of sight, out of mind. When the door is closed, you don't have to look at others. β
Xing Ruyi wrinkled his nose, "Are you covering your ears and stealing the bell?" β
"Nope! I'm just on the right track. The fox said, and with a slight lift of his little tail finger, the door that was originally open was half closed in an instant: "My lady is also a shopkeeper, how can she come forward in person to explain these business matters." Even if he changed to selling rice and grain, he would have to wait until Li Mao returned from Luoyang. Besides, your body still needs to be recuperated, how can I rest assured if I worry about it every day. β
Xing Ruyi stuck out his tongue lightly, took his gaze back from the door, put down the teacup, approached the fox and asked, "When will Aunt Lu arrive?" To be honest, although my cooking skills are not bad, I still have to be an old man to handle things like the New Year. In previous years, you and I lived together, although it was warm, but it was also a little lonely. This year is good, not only Li Mao, Aunt Lu, but also Brother Chang and Yin Yuan, this food and drink, you must always prepare more. Fox, you know what? Since my grandfather and grandmother died, I haven't had such a lively Chinese New Year's Eve for a long time. β
"It's not promising!" Seeing Xing Ruyi's eyes red as she spoke, the fox raised his hand and pinched her face. "I promise you that every year after that, Chinese New Year's Eve will be more lively than this year."
"Really?"
Xing Ruyi asked with a raised face, and when he saw the fox nodding, his eyes became redder and redder.
She couldn't cry in front of the fox, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and was about to wipe it secretly, but she saw an extra pair of feet outside the door.
The aqua blue skirt floats gently with the wind, and under the skirt is a pair of embroidered shoes with white backgrounds and black faces but embroidered with most hibiscus, and it is also very particular about looking at the needlework. Gazing upwards with the skirt is a snow-blue brocade tunic made of only medium fabric, but the style is newly fashionable. Further up, there was a black gauze, revealing only a pair of standard Danfeng eyes.
Looking at each other, the man hurriedly lowered his head and followed with a light blessing.
"Excuse me, can this shop still entertain guests today?"
"Hospitality...... Hospitality. β
Finally, a guest came to the door, Xing Ruyi was very enthusiastic, and he didn't care about his still red eyes, so he greeted him: "Girl, please come in!" Do you want to buy rouge, gouache, or skin care products for ordinary skin care? If you don't like it, it doesn't matter, I also have an exclusive bath formula here, the effect is stronger than those of flower baths and milk baths, and they are all pure natural plant extracts, without any preservatives, easy to use, and no harm to the body. Girls only need to use them once and fall in love with them. β
Xing Ruyi's series of sales pitches not only did not move the other party, but instead stunned. I saw that the girl raised her beautiful eyes, looked at Xing Ruyi with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "The girl just said too fast, Luo Fu didn't hear it clearly." β
Xing Ruyi was embarrassed by himself.
She turned back, hoping to get some comfort from the fox, but she didn't expect to see the fox's undisguised smile. I felt sick in my heart, and I also flew a white eye to him by the way. Seeing this, the fox pursed his lips, excused himself to go to see Yin Yuan, and got up and went to the backyard.
"That isβ"
"My father-in-law!"
"The girl is married?"
Luo Fu said, and glanced at Xing Ruyi's makeup again, whether it was the hairstyle or makeup, it was the dress of an unmarried woman, and it was inevitable that there were some doubts in his heart.
"Oh, not yet, get married in the future."
Xing Ruyi smiled shyly, brought Luo Fu to the table, took a new teacup, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Luo Fu.
"My father and mother died young, and there is only one brother in the family. Xianggong him, like me, his father and mother are gone, only a few distant relatives. So in the past, there was not so much attention. Anyway, in this life, I decided that he would not marry, and he also decided that he would not marry, as for the eyes of others, I didn't pay much attention to it. β
"Luo Shi envies the girl's ease."
Luo Fu said, glancing at Xing Ruyi, there was indeed envy in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"It's not free, it's just a small family, so naturally there is not so much exquisiteness." Xing Ruyi said, and also glanced at the black veil on Luo Fu's face: "Although my Ruyi rouge shop is not big, but the rouge gouache is complete, I don't know what the girl wants to buy, Ruyi can simply make some recommendations for the girl here."
Rest assured, the girl has a rule in my rouge shop, which is different from other places, that is, only sell the right ones to customers, and never sell them indiscriminately. The girl also saw that the things on my shelf were all at a clear price, and the children were not deceived. Whether it is the branch on this Yunjiaji or the main store in Luoyang, the divine capital, they all have the same ingredients, the same curative effect and the same price. β
"Don't hide it from the girl, before I came, Luo Fu also inquired about the girl's wishful rouge shop, and knew that the girl's shop was different from the shop next to it, which could solve the problems that others could not solve, the sorrow that others could not eliminate, and the diseases that others could not treat."
Luo Shi said, gently removing the black veil from his face. There is nothing strange about her face under the black veil, but compared to those eyes, her nose, mouth, and even face shape look very ordinary. Secondly, rough skin, enlarged pores, and some uneven skin tone, but these are minor problems, as long as you take care of them diligently, after a period of time, you will get a noticeable improvement.
"The girl's faceβ"
Xing Ruyi lowered her eyebrows and was about to speak, but her eyes fell on the hands that Luo Fu had half hidden under his sleeves. Compared to her face, these hands are obviously much better-looking, not only are the ten fingers as slender as jade, but even the state of the skin is completely different from the face.
It's like painting a picture of a beauty, you depict everything in great detail, but only when you depict her facial features, you lose patience, so that the whole person looks very incongruous.
"Girl, you've noticed that too, haven't you? My face and my hands are very incongruous. That's because my current face isn't mine. β
Luo Shi said softly, but the more indifferent her tone, the more weird the whole thing sounded.
Changing the skin, Xing Ruyi is no stranger. Mu Xi, the former general's wife, just took the face of others and pasted it on her face. But Luo Fu in front of her is obviously just an ordinary woman, she has neither Mu Xi's spells nor Mu Xi's ability. Besides, even if you want to change your face, you should find a better looking face, not the plain face in front of you.
After Luo Fu finished saying that, he had been carefully observing Xing Ruyi's expression, and seeing that she was only slightly stunned, and did not show disbelief, he was a little relieved and continued: "The girl's name, I heard it from an adult surnamed Chang, and I also know that the girl has skills that ordinary people don't have. So in this matter, Luo Fu can only come to the girl, I hope the girl can help Luo Fu find out the reason behind the change of this face. Like you, girl, after the New Year, Luo Fu will get married, if it is then, Luo Fu will still have this face, I am afraid that I will be disliked by my husband. β
"Lord Chang!"
Be obedient and listen to the point, and this common word also belongs to one of the key points.
In the Tang Dynasty, Xing Ruyi only knew one adult surnamed Chang, who was Chang Tai. But Luo Fu obviously didn't come all the way from Luoyang to find here. So, the question is, how did Luo Shi know Chang Tai, and how did he know from Chang Tai's mouth.
Luo Fu didn't notice the doubt in Xing Ruyi's eyes, she just lowered her head and muttered to herself silently
"Yes, Master Chang. He, like you, girl, is from Luoyang, and I heard that he is also your old acquaintance, and now he is helping out in my cousin's mansion. It was my cousin who introduced Luo Fu to this Chang Adult, and it was also the girl who told Luo Fu about this Chang Adult. That's why today, Luo Shi will take the liberty to come. As for that adult, his full name should be Changtai. β
Sure enough, Brother Chang!
Xing Ruyi shook his head and said to Luo Fu: "That's right, I am an old acquaintance with the Chang Master in the girl's mouth, since he introduced the girl, Ruyi should do his best to help the girl find out the reason for the change in appearance." It's just that if you can ask Ruyi, when did the girl's face start to change? β
"I can't say exactly when." Luo Fu touched his face with his hand: "My face doesn't seem to become like this all at once, but it changes a little bit every day, changes a little bit, and by the time I realize that something is wrong, it is too late." β
"No matter how weird things are, there will always be traces to be found, and please think carefully about the girl, when did you realize that this face was wrong?"
"Do dreams count?" Luo Fu suddenly raised his head, looked into Xing Ruyi's eyes and asked: "During this time, I will always repeat a dream, in the dream, there is always a voice saying to me: Remember, before the hour, don't look in the mirror!" β
