Although she has memories of her previous life, it seems that Qi Zhen is a dirt bun and entered the city, she is wearing gray-brown coarse cloth clothes, her face is covered with sweat, and she holds a dusty jar in her arms, and she looks like a village woman.

Even though the people in Beijing do not have a lot of money, they have a natural sense of superiority over outsiders, after all, they are people who live at the foot of the imperial city, and they are naturally completely different from those outsiders.

The people around him cast disdainful glances at Qi Zhen, and they didn't even want to take a second look, but Qi Zhen had long been accustomed to the atmosphere of the capital, so his mood did not fluctuate.

Walking to a stall, Qi Hao looked at the stall full of dazzling porcelain vases, all kinds of elegant patterns, small and exquisite, and it made people like it.

"Boss, how do you sell this porcelain vase?"

The peddler glanced at Qi Zhen contemptuously, frowned and waved his hand, and said:

"These porcelain vases cost fifty yuan each, can you, a village woman, afford them?"

Qi Zhen knew that this peddler looked down on people, but she really couldn't afford it, and she only brought fifty wen with her when she entered Beijing, and if she spent it indiscriminately, she might not be able to sell these rouge waters.

Pointing to the white porcelain vase that was placed in the corner, Qi Zhen asked:

"And how much is this?"

The peddler glanced at the very ordinary white porcelain vase in the corner, it was very cheap, and it looked a little rough, and it could not be sold at all, but the peasant woman in front of him was not a wealthy master, the peddler thought for a moment, and said:

"This one is two texts."

Qi Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Bring me twenty." ”

glanced at Qi Zhen in some surprise, the vendor didn't expect the village woman in front of him to buy so many porcelain vases, but when the business came to hand, he was not a fool, so he naturally wouldn't push it out, even with a smile on his face, he said:

"Okay, I'm going to wrap it up for you, do you need anything else?"

Qi Zhen shook her head, she only brought fifty wen, carefully counted out forty wen and handed it to the vendor, and then left the stall with a cloth bag containing a porcelain vase.

The sun was very scorching, and Qi Zhen's face was red and sweaty.

This work of walking the streets and alleys is really not done by people, look at those pampered girls in the capital, which one will go out under such a big day?

In case the skin and flesh on their bodies that are as white as porcelain and feel excellent are sunburned, it will inevitably be a burst of gloomy sadness.

Qi Zhen also felt sorry for her face, but she was even more distressed about the silver now, if she didn't have money, Lian Su might not be able to live.

In his previous life, he owed Lian Su a life, and taking good care of him in this life can be regarded as not owing each other.

Walking under a locust tree, Qi Hao fanned the wind with his hand, and stood in the shade, the sun was not so bad.

Wiping the sweat on her forehead with her hands, Qi Zhen looked at the people around her, so she put the porcelain altar filled with rouge water on the ground, and carefully untied the breaded cloth, without tearing the cloth directly, after all, she would have to use the cloth to seal the porcelain altar again, but she couldn't break things so easily.

Twenty porcelain vases were arranged in two rows, and Qi Zhen held the jar the size of a human head, tilted it gently, and poured the rouge water with a rich red color and fragrance into the porcelain vase.

Although this porcelain vase has no pattern, it has a lid, and then tied it with a red cloth strip, so that it will not spill rouge water at all, which is what makes Qi Zhen the most satisfied.

Qi Hao's actions are not strange to look at in the capital, there are not a few merchants in the capital, and they sometimes pick up the goods directly on the street.

However, Qi Zhen is a woman, doing such a hard job, and she has to show her face, I am afraid that it will be like this if a man dies.

After cleaning up, he put the porcelain vase on his back again, and Qi Zhen rushed directly to Dongjie according to the memory in his mind.

When Qi Zhen entered Beijing today, her target was naturally not the young ladies from those big families, but the little maids who served by the young lady's side.

After all, those golden and precious young ladies have never seen any good things, so naturally they will not take a fancy to her rouge water, which is not outstanding in appearance, and if it is made into that rose dew in the future, it can be sold for a good price.

However, the low-status maids are not as rich as the ladies have at hand, and they usually don't use those rouge that are worth thousands of gold, so even if the rouge water made by Qi Zhen doesn't look good, as long as it is not bad, it is still marketable.

Walking to East Street, Qin Miao saw a lot of women wearing green waist skirts around her, all of them looked sixteen or seventeen, very beautiful, it seems that these few should be first-class maids, otherwise they would not be raised so well, all of them are delicate, as if they are serious masters.

Qi Zhen, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, was very conspicuous on this street, holding an altar in her hand and carrying a burden on her back, she really looked like a chicken standing in a flock of cranes, which was very eye-catching.

"The best rouge water! You can try it before you buy it, and you won't be charged if it's not easy to use! ”

Hearing the woman's cry, the eyes of the maids were attracted, led by an older maid, who had a goose egg face, fair skin, and a slender waist like a weeping willow, as if it would be broken when it was broken.

The maid walked up to Qi Zhen and asked:

"What are you selling?"

Qi Zhen was smiling all over her face, looking at her simple appearance, her cheeks were flushed, and she said:

"Girl, I have the best rouge water, and when I apply it to your face, it looks like a peony flower that has just bloomed, and it is very delicate."

The maid looked Qi Zhen up and down, the rules were good, and she didn't have the slightest disdain, and asked:

"I didn't expect your woman to have a very sweet mouth, but if your rouge water is so easy to use, why don't you use it?"

Qi Zhen lowered her head a little ashamedly, reached out and touched her face, sighed, and explained:

"The little woman's skin is dark, and if she uses rouge water, she can't see the effect, isn't it a bad thing? If I had been as pale as a girl, I would not be willing to sell these rouge waters. ”

Qi Zhen followed the old eunuch in her last life, and she was very clear about these girls' thoughts, and her mouth was very smart, which made this girl smile.

took out a porcelain bottle from the baggage, Qi Zhen carefully poured out some rouge water, rubbed it on the back of the maid's fine white hand, and looked at the skin as if it was dyed red, white and red, very beautiful.

"Girl, smell it, this rouge water is still fragrant with osmanthus! If you apply this rouge, you will have a faint fragrance on your body when you walk, and then it will really be jade body and skin, orchid cinnamon. ”

Hearing this, the maid's eyes lit up, put her hand in front of her nose, sniffed it gently, and really smelled a light fragrance of osmanthus, not pungent, but very good, compared to the precious spices in the young lady's room, it was not bad.

And the color of this rouge is very positive, and it looks better than the rouge in ordinary shops, and the maid moved her mind and asked:

"How do you sell this rouge water?"

"This rouge water is very difficult to make, a bottle of one hundred yuan."

The porcelain vase is only higher than the thumb, and the rouge water contained in it can only be used for about a month, which is not cheap in the capital, but for the maids of these large families, there are two taels of silver a month, and a hundred wen can still be paid.

"Sister Green, you wipe it on your face first, if it looks good, it's not too late to buy it."

Hearing the sound, Green Yi's heart moved slightly, and he poured out a little rouge water, and gently rubbed it on his cheeks, the color was excellent, and he looked very delicate when he looked at the whole person.

The little maid on the side was also a little moved, so she said, "You also sell me a bottle of rouge water." ”

As soon as she heard this, Green Yi knew that this rouge water should not be bad, better than the two hundred wen sold in the shop, she was serving the eldest lady closely, and she was more generous than the average maid, and said:

"Sell me three bottles."

There were eight maids in this group, except for the three bottles that were bought by Green Yi, each of the rest bought one bottle, Qi Zhen accepted one or two silvers, carefully stuffed them into his arms, and then walked out from East First Street.

The people living on this side of East Street were all rich families, and Qi Zhen sold all twenty bottles of rouge in one afternoon, and then she returned to the stall that sold porcelain vases.

Qi Hao pointed to a blue and white porcelain box and asked:

"Can this porcelain box be cheaper? If it's fifty wen, it's too expensive. ”

The peddler remembered the peasant woman, and although the peasant woman looked inconspicuous, she did have some money in her hand, he thought for a while before he said:

"Forty Wen, it can't be cheaper, otherwise my small business will definitely lose money."

Qi Hao pouted at the porcelain vase Nunu in the corner and said:

"Fifty more porcelain vases, you take less, and we can still do business for a long time."

The peddler gritted his teeth, the cost of the blue and white porcelain box was not high, and said:

"Well, you'll be charged a total of one hundred and thirty for these things."

Qi Zhen did the math and found that this price is indeed not high in the capital, and the hawker still has a little profit.

"Then I'm sorry for you to wrap it up."

The peddler sighed, took a dusty cloth bag out of nowhere, carefully wrapped fifty porcelain vases, and handed the blue and white porcelain box to Qi Zhen.

Qi Hao counted out one hundred and thirty Wen from his hand and handed it to the vendor, then took his things and left.

Walking to the city gate, Qi Hao found that there was a seller of osmanthus candy, she still had a little money on her, bought a few pieces of osmanthus candy, and when she arrived at the city gate, she happened to see Xu Laohan waiting on the donkey cart.

Xu Laohan swallowed clouds and fog on the donkey cart, and saw Qi Zhen carrying a huge burden, so he didn't ask anything, so he let her get into the donkey cart.

When people are old, they talk a lot, and Xu Laohan said that how much money the grain sold is enough for Huzi this year.

Huzi is the eldest grandson of Xu Laohan, and he is only nine years old this year, because there are many men in the Xu family, and there are many people working in the fields, plus the past few years have been a good year, there have been no droughts and floods or anything, the harvest is good, and the tiger is raised very strong, as big as Lian Boyuan, but more than a head higher.

After tossing and turning on the road for two hours, when it was getting late, I finally arrived at Dawan Village.

As soon as he jumped off the donkey cart, Qi Hao took out a piece of paper-wrapped osmanthus candy from his cuff and handed it to Xu Laohan.

"What is this?"

"Osmanthus candy, give Huzi a snack, Uncle Xu, when my father-in-law was seriously ill, thanks to your care, you sent me to the capital today, I don't know how to thank you."

As soon as he heard this, Xu Laohan immediately nodded and said: "They are all neighbors, Lian Jun was seriously ill before, our family should naturally help, you can take this osmanthus candy back, and you can take Bo Yuan and Zhong Qi with you in the future." ”

Qi Zhen took a step back and said, "Uncle Xu, I also bought one for the two of them, what you have in your hand is for Huzi, it is a piece of my heart, Uncle Xu, don't shirk it." ”

After speaking, Qi Hao didn't wait for Xu Laohan to catch up, and ran home directly, while Xu Laohan led the donkey cart, and couldn't catch up no matter how he chased him.
