The moonlight outside the house was like frost, and the face of someone in the house was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Pei Bao'er moved her somewhat stiff body, lifted the quilt, and bent down, ready to pick up her baby piggy bank.

The man didn't say anything, but he took the first step and scooped up the small, round black porcelain jar with the hand that didn't hold anything.

"You sleep with this? What's inside? As he spoke, he pulled the wooden cork on it and looked at it, and his face was even more wonderful.

Pei Baoer's face was hot, and she hurriedly snatched it.

"What do you care I sleep with!" She came back to her senses and immediately asked, "You, what do you want to do when you break into a private house in the middle of the night?" ”

Qi Heng's eyes fell on her bare wrists, and she couldn't help but feel a little dark.

"Why don't you wear it? You don't like it? ”

Pei Bao'er was slightly stunned, and finally followed his gaze to understand what he was talking about, and immediately frowned: "You came just in time, that thing is not mine, you better take it away." Also, you haven't answered my question yet! She looked at the past with suspicion, isn't this person playing Tai Chi with herself, playing to change the topic?

Hearing this, Qi Heng's face sank suddenly, but he turned to the side to face her, and with the quick recovery, Pei Baoer didn't notice it.

She saw that he was silent, as if she wanted to fool him with silence, and her voice couldn't help but raise her voice by half an octave: "...... the hell you"

Qi Heng replied quickly: "It's just to see that you are seriously ill, so I came to see you." ”

Pei Bao'er looked suspicious, how did he know that he was sick? After thinking about it, maybe he had noticed himself a long time ago, since the time he borrowed water, he knew that he lived here, so he could naturally monitor this small courtyard. Every day, Dani decoction of medicine and throwing medicine residue, as long as people with a heart can see that someone in this family is sick. And she has been staying at home for several days, Liu Yun went out to grab medicine, Dani is in charge of buying vegetables, who else can she be sick if she is not sick!

"Uh, we just met in Pingshui, why do we need to be like this, ...... like this" Pei Baoer stammered, stunned and didn't find any suitable adjectives. Who can tell her what kind of wording should be used to modify the behavior of "trespassing into the boudoir of a woman from a good family in the middle of the night to visit the sick" to make it less strange?

The man finally turned around and looked at her deeply, the emotions in his eyes were too complicated for her to understand.

"Actually, I came to say goodbye to you, I didn't expect you to sleep so late tonight. It's good that I can talk to you face to face. ”

Pei Baoer felt a little weird, but she didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?" After reacting to it, I suddenly felt that I was asking too presumptuous questions. Where do people go, what does it matter to you? Wouldn't it be a good thing that you avoided him and didn't reach him, and now that he was leaving? Thinking of this, her expression turned from annoyance to joy.

Qi Heng snorted coldly almost inaudibly: "It's just a matter of a dozen days away, go and do what needs to be done." ”

"Oh~"

Pei Bao'er suddenly felt that the incense on the body surnamed Qi seemed to have a hypnotic effect, she just smelled it for a while, and the sleepiness that was scared away by him actually came back honestly.

She yawned in disappointment and said politely, "Since you are here to visit the patient, now that the visit is over, can you leave?" ”

The man took a step in her direction, and Pei Bao'er was full of excitement, very worried that he would ascend to the top of the apprentice, and he would do something that was not very good to describe himself like that day. She crossed her arms to her chest, with a strong sense of vigilance in her eyes, although she didn't say any meaningless lines such as "you, you, don't come", but she was ready to go, and she had the posture of "you dare to come over, and the old lady will fight with you".

Qi Heng lowered his eyes slightly, but took a few steps back, put the flat long cardboard box he had been carrying in his hand on the table, threw down the sentence "Take care of your illness, take medicine obediently, don't waste medicinal materials" and walked through the window.

Only Pei Bao'er was left staring wide-eyed in place, what he meant by this, didn't he even know that he didn't take medicine tonight? This person can't be in intelligence, right? He said that he was going to leave for more than ten days and do what he had to do, how did it sound like an ancient killer was going out on duty?

Thinking about it this way, Pei Baoer felt that the future was even more bleak. It's not good to wear someone, but I wear a dead woman who is closely related to the suspected killer!

After being tossed around a few times, her sleepiness completely disappeared, and she simply got out of bed to open the carton he brought. At first glance, it was the tangram and flying chess that she was going to buy that day but didn't buy it. So, what is there about this man that he doesn't know?

When I think about it, what he just said seems to have a different meaning. He said that he didn't expect that she hadn't fallen asleep at the point of "tonight", that is, he knew his daily routine in recent days? Could it be that this person jumps out of the window every night and steals incense and jade?

Recalling the experience of "ghost pressing" in the past few days, and his behavior of going straight to the end when he thought he was asleep, a bold conjecture came to mind.

Could it be that the "ghost" is him?

Pei Bao'er was a little angry, but she felt even more frustrated, because every time she faced him, she felt a sense of powerlessness that punched into the cotton. If you want to trap him, it's basically impossible! Last time, it was a special situation, and this time she was first startled by his "bold behavior" of breaking into her room at night, and she forgot to ask him the most crucial question.

And that's—

What the hell is their relationship? And, she doesn't have the slightest memory of the original owner, can he raise his noble hand and let her go?

Thinking from this point of view, Pei Baoer was a little expecting him to come back after the end of the "field work". After all, early death and early superbirth, it is very troublesome to think about this matter every day, and she is more willing to spend brain cells on developing new products and engaging in promotional activities.

Recently, she has been bored in her illness, except for occasionally pulling the rest of the family to play flying chess, but there is also one thing that makes her interested, that is, Ruyu Pavilion recruits female workers.

Although the folk customs of this dynasty are not so conservative, the division of labor concept of "male protagonist outside, female protagonist inside" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and very few shops will recruit female workers. Mrs. Wang is also a strange person, she dared to give her a job against the discussion of others, she went to work at the beginning and was blinded by the shopkeeper for a long time, and later, with her own unique aesthetics and many strange ideas to the Wang family silk village to attract a lot of business, which slowly reversed the minds of others. After all, no matter where she is, shopping is a woman's nature, and those who are in charge of the store have to admit that women understand women's needs better. It's just that not many women are willing to show up to work, and the pay is not high, so there are very few shops that recruit female workers.

But Jade Pavilion is different, as a fat powder shop, you can't just remember the name of each product, but also have a good understanding of various colors and collocations. Not to mention that Pei Baoer also imitates the modern cosmetics system, and the makeup powder also adds attributes suitable for different skins, such as the most common dry, oily, and combination. It was just a matter of proportioning the ingredients for her, but it was an eye-opener for the women who came to her door. Obediently, there is still wet makeup powder in this world, and it is so finely divided, for a while, many female relatives will inevitably discuss each other's skin type when they meet and talk about Ruyu Pavilion, and it has become a fashion in this area of Taixing County, which is a later story.

In the first half month of opening, the business was not very prosperous, but compared with the original old fat powder shop, the customer flow was better than theirs. It's just that it didn't meet Pei Baoer's expectations, and as one of the partners, Mrs. Lin was guaranteed by Pei Baoer at that time, and she was also a little disappointed at this time.

Pei Baoer analyzed it and felt that she could recruit a female worker who knew how to make up to test the water, after all, she couldn't run into the shop every day, there must always be someone who knew how to fool those female customers, and it was best to be able to demonstrate on the spot.

When she took advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper Qin came to pick up the goods, she asked him to mention the matter to Mrs. Lin by the way, who didn't have much opinion, but the reply she brought revealed a point or two of dissatisfaction. probably felt that the shop was not as prosperous as expected, and Pei Baoer had to increase labor costs.

"If there is no improvement in the past year, our cooperation agreement will have to be considered again."

The recruitment notice for female workers was posted at the door of the store, and after it was released, it attracted a lot of objections. It is said that there is a man in his forties and fifties who looks like a Confucian scholar who went to talk to the shopkeeper that a woman should be at home with her husband and children, and that if she comes out to work every day and shows her face, there will be no one to take care of her at home, which will lead to all kinds of evil consequences. Pei Baoer scoffed at this kind of fake Taoism, anyway, he didn't come to the door of the store every day to make trouble.

According to her meaning, the shopkeeper Qin roughly screened the people who applied for the job, took out the four-color rouge for them to distinguish the color, and directly eliminated the unclear, and the rest first registered the basic information, and then planned a unified time, and let her go to the shop for an interview in person.

Pei Bao'er recovered from a serious illness, and went out wrapped in a round face, and did not squint when she passed by the bookstore, but she didn't dare to look over. Even if the surnamed Qi is not there, after all, she described the embarrassment that day and rushed out of the door, and that appearance probably fell into the eyes of the young man, which is a shame.

There are four female workers interviewed today, surnamed Tao, Ma, Peng, and Luo, aged between 20 and 30, among which Luo is a widow, and the other Ma is also Pei Baoer's "acquaintance" who had a two-sided relationship before.

Pei Bao'er didn't wear makeup, this appearance was the same as in the county government court at that time, Ma quickly recognized her, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he didn't say anything.

"I have a general understanding of your basic situation, and today it mainly depends on your skills in grooming." Pei Bao'er made the final decision, "You are just four people, whatever you want to team up, two people as a group, put makeup on each other." ”

The four women didn't expect the interview to be tested for this, and they all looked at each other, their faces more or less panicked.

The round-faced Peng asked a question in embarrassment: "I have already put on makeup before going out, and it is freezing at this time, why don't you wash your face in the store first?" ”

Pei Bao'er glanced at the faces of the four people, each with some makeup. Among them, Ma's is the most intense, a face is painted white, nearly two shades different from the neck, and the lips are also red, this appearance is similar to when Pei Baoer saw her before, if it weren't for her poisonous eyes, she was very good at seeing through the true faces of everyone behind the makeup, and she really couldn't find out that it was a person. Dow's most natural, it looks only slightly modified, but her facial features are upright, and there are no obvious flaws or flaws, which is superior.

Before she could answer, Ma Shi rolled her eyes again and asked Pei Bao'er: "I didn't know that I was going to take the school exam before, but I didn't bring anything here." Dare to ask this lady, we use ......"

Her eyes fell on the dazzling porcelain boxes on the shelves in the store, and there was a strong sense of admiration in her eyes. Ma Shi only found out about the news when she rushed into the city a few days ago, she was illiterate, and she couldn't understand what was said in the recruitment notice, so she still squeezed into the shop with a cheeky face and asked. It is said that the working treatment here is not bad, and what can you buy the products in the store at what employee price, hearing this Ma Shi was moved, if you can buy at a low price and sell at a high price, it is also a way to get rich, so I came to register happily.

Pei Bao'er nodded, "Rouge gouache is naturally used in the store." He pointed to one of the small boxes in the "trial pack" placed in front of everyone, explained the "dry cleaning" use of this makeup remover slightly, and took a few clean hot cloths, signaling them to hurry up and do it.

Ma preemptively drew one of them in front of him, smiled smugly, and asked the other three who wanted to be in the same group as her.

Tao was a little restrained, and glanced at Peng, who said: "The two of us came together, so let's go together." It means that they don't want to be in a group with Ma, and the two of them have formed a team on their own.

Pei Bao'er looked at Luo, who had no extra expression on his face, and had been faint, and only then did he raise a faint smile.

"I'm casual. Ma Niangzi, is it you or me first? There was a bit of arrogance between the words, and it seemed that he didn't take the other three competitors very seriously, and he was sure that no matter who came first, he couldn't change the final outcome.

Ma Shi became angry when he heard this, gritted his teeth and held back the three words "I came first", and couldn't wait to turn the woman in front of him into a dominatrix.
