Since he was going to the spice shop that the women in the capital loved to go to, Shu Mei dressed himself seriously by the moon pattern, and used the hair oil, fat powder, and eyebrow ink bought from Tianxianglou all over the place.

While letting the moon tattoo put on makeup, she seriously asked the name, price, and purpose of the pile of bottles and cans in front of her, and made up for the makeup class she owed a lot. As the personal maid who is responsible for her grooming, Moon Pattern feels that she has a scenery in front of her master for the first time, and she hates to shake out all her cognition of rouge gouache.

"It turns out that there are so many famous names in this...... It's much more complicated than raising grasshoppers......" Shu Mei sighed.

"The county lord has a good foundation, and this rouge gouache is really good-looking." The moon pattern applied lip grease for Shu Mei, and praised it.

"It's good-looking, but this is coated with lip grease, you see, a smile will stick to your teeth......" Shu frowned at the rhombic copper mirror.

"Who made you laugh like that?" Moon Wen bowed down and wiped the lipstick on her teeth with a cloth towel, "You have to smile lightly to live up to this delicate makeup." ”

Shu Mei shook his head again, and the hairpin butterfly wings on the sideburns shook with a clear sound. "Won't this jade bead break?" Shu Mei raised his hand and touched the string of tiny jade beads that hung down in the step, a little suspicious.

"You walk slowly, how can you break it?" Moon Pattern couldn't help but smile, "Wearing this, I can remind you to be soft-spoken, gentle and quiet at any time." ”

"I'm preaching again." Shu Mei stood up, "Let's go, don't go out again, it's time for lunch." ”

It is not too difficult to speak softly, gently and quietly, and it is just a habit. When Shu Mei was wearing the cloud sideburns and hairpins, and all the way to the beautiful shadow of the fragrant clothes, Tingting entered the gate of Tianxianglou, and the female envoy who was accustomed to observing words and emotions greeted her.

Shu Mei is the first time to come to Tianxiang Building, first by the outside alley densely parked incense cars and horses, and then by the outside of the building tied with flowers of the wing corner color building and cloud brocade curtain decoration of Huanmen, has already been dazzled. At this moment, when I entered this building with a low smoke screen and a fragrant smell, I couldn't hide the curiosity and surprise in my eyes.

The envoy opened her mouth and said, "This is the first time the girl has come to our Tianxiang Building, right?" ”

"It's the first time I've come." Shu Mei replied truthfully.

"Do you have anything in mind to buy?"

Shu Mei looked around and said, "Not yet." The young lady of the old ninth prince's family is going to hold a plum fragrance tea party in a few days, and I will take a look at some good things that can be selected as gifts. ”

"That girl has come to the right place, there are a lot of delicate and lovely things in our building, and the custodian girl is satisfied." The envoy welcomed Shu Mei to the atrium, turned around and introduced, "This side is rouge gouache coming in from all over the world, this side is eyebrow ink head oil and vanilla flower day, and then there are sachet smoked tablets ......"

"What's upstairs?" Shu Mei raised his head and asked.

"Upstairs are some precious original incense, if the girl likes to make fragrances, you can go up and have a look."

"What's the smell?" Shu Mei asked, brushing her skirt and walking towards the staircase covered with embroidered gold blankets.

"That's a lot, the ambergris from the Great Food Country, the agarwood from Champang, the borneol from the Bolu Country, the musk from the Qi'er Mountain, and the rose water from the Three Buddhas are the most popular among the girls......" The female envoy saw that Shu Mei was interested in the original incense, so she followed her and introduced it like a few treasures.

The layout of the second floor is more exquisite than that of the first floor, with all kinds of lacquered wooden boxes and jade porcelain arranged on several Bogu shelves in a staggered manner, not like a shop for sale, but more like a collection of large families.

"If you are attending the Meixiang tea party, the girl buys some rose water, and we use delicate small jade bottles to divide it, as a gift, it is both face-saving and ......popular," the envoy picked up a sealed glass thread on the Bogu shelf and eagerly recommended.

"How much is this one worth?" Shu Mei asked.

"Ten taels."

"So expensive?" Shu Mei looked surprised. Originally, I wanted to take the glass thread and take a look, but I didn't dare to reach out rashly at this moment, lest I miss it.

"From the country of Srivijaya to South Vietnam, I crossed the sea and sailed all the way, crossed the mountains and mountains, and the things that were originally worthless were also expensive by this journey. What's more, Tianxianglou is the most reliable original incense shop in our Nanyue because of the relationship above, if you go to another house, the price may be cheaper, but you may not be able to buy a real rose water......"

Shu Mei couldn't listen to the female envoy's explanation, and only thought about how much rice grain, winter clothes, and arrows could be bought with these ten taels of silver. When she asked the palm-sized ambergris in the lacquer box next to her, the price was even more ridiculously expensive, and she felt unfair. The money spent on the fragrance by these ladies and ladies was so expensive that if they were willing to donate to the South Vietnamese army, the border city would have been impregnable.

"How do you know if other people's rose water is not real?" The moon pattern next to him asked.

"Their rose water is just sent to the fragrant slaves to plant the roses and refine them themselves, although they have stolen the overseas craftsmanship, but the roses of the Srivijaya country are different from the roses of South Vietnam, and the unique fragrant fragrance of the flowers cannot be stolen by the craftsmanship of the fragrant slaves alone......

Hearing the female envoy mention the fragrant slave, Shu Mei said: "Your family is full of overseas spices, and they are more expensive, so it is better for other families to raise fragrant slaves and make homemade original incense at a reasonable ......."

The girl laughed, the incense slaves in Tianxianglou are only afraid that they are much more raised than anyone else, and the homemade original incense is also unique, beyond the reach of others. I only saw that the girl was full of luxury, so I specially recommended overseas original fragrance treasures, if you want to see the homemade, the girl comes with me......"

The female envoy brushed open a beaded curtain and led the way sideways to Shu Mei, "Girl, please." ”

Through the curtain, there is a wooden corridor outside. Shu Mei found that this Tianxianglou is not only a double-storey wooden building facing the street, but there are four or five double-storey wooden buildings of the same size behind it, all of which are connected to the wooden building facing the street through a wooden corridor. This magnificent momentum, I am afraid that in addition to the Yongnian Palace, there will be no second home in Yongding City.

"What are these wooden buildings doing in the back?" Shu Mei asked.

"The girl didn't know that Tianxianglou didn't just sell spices. There are also antiques, rare books and calligraphy here, but the ladies don't pay much attention to it. The envoy laughed.

Passing through the suspended wooden corridor, the envoy led Shu Mei into the second floor of another wooden building. The layout here is similar to the previous one, but the things inside are all self-made products of Tianxianglou. After being led here, if he left empty-handed, it seemed too deliberate, so Shu Mei randomly selected a few original incense as a gift and asked the female envoy to wrap it up.

"You just said that Tianxianglou raised a lot of incense slaves, why haven't you seen any of them?" Moon Pattern asked.

"The incense slaves are making incense in the backyard every day, and they don't know the etiquette, how dare they come to the front and disturb the nobles' Yaxing?" The envoy smiled and handed the wrapped gift to Moonpattern.

The Channus are all in the backyard. Shu Mei looked behind the wooden building through the window screen, his vision was hidden by the snow-covered trees, and he could only faintly see a section of snow-covered eaves, and he couldn't see how big the courtyard was and where he entered it.

I came here today, and I got a lot of news. Shu Mei gave the envoy some change, and left with the moon pattern.
