Chapter 134: "Beauty Trick"
Mu Xiwen blinked, swept the faces of the three beauties, and indeed saw the carving of the years on their faces.
The woman with an elegant temperament should be the oldest of the three, although she is still so temperamental, but a trace of fine lines inevitably creeps climb up the corners of her eyes.
Yes, most people in this age do not live long, most people in the world get married and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and even get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Most of the women in Qinglou age quickly, after all, their bodies are damaged and they can't get enough rest.
Looking at the three beauties in front of him who were obviously at the time when a woman was at her most youthful and beautiful, but were called old women, a thought just rose in Mu Xiwen's mind.
"But you'd better stay here a little longer, if you leave so soon, wouldn't it be a joke for those sluts? They thought I wasn't attractive. ”
As he spoke, Zuiqin's big grinning voice suddenly became expectant, "That, I don't see that you are not poor, for the sake of the three beautiful sisters drinking with you, you-"
She blinked a pair of affectionate eyes and looked at Mu Xiwen pitifully, Mu Xiwen almost reached out to take out the money in a daze, but fortunately reason stopped her at the last moment.
"I didn't drink." She said carefully.
"Don't be so stingy, we're three beauties with you. To know how rare this opportunity is. Sister Yuanhe, Nanshuang, you have a word. ”
Yuan He poured a cup of tea for Mu Xiwen with a gentle smile, "Since you are a little lady, then you won't drink today, it's not safe for a delicate little lady to get drunk on Sajin Street." As he spoke, he handed the teacup to Mu Xiwen's mouth.
Seeing the beauty's gentle smile, Mu Xiwen's brain was full of paste, and he took a sip of tea in a daze.
Of course, she dared to drink it because Lingquan had already washed her body, even if there was really medicine in the tea, she was not afraid.
Seeing her drink tea, the smile on Yuanhe's lips deepened. "The little 'son' drank the tea from our Manchun Courtyard, can you give a reward or two for the sake of the concubines accompanying you to have fun?"
Although Nanshuang's face was red with shame, she still stubbornly said, "Please reward the little boy one or two." After saying this, a layer of mist appeared in those frosty eyes, as if he was ashamed of his actions.
Mu Xiwen didn't drink alcohol after all, and his brain quickly sobered up. She looked around at the three beauties, and was very surprised.
If Zuiqin would cheekily ask her for money, she can understand, after all, people do this kind of entertainment and pastime work, they laugh together, and the guests pay money, which is justified.
But it is a little strange that the dignified and elegant Yuan He and the cold and proud Nanshuang also asked her for money so "aggressively".
Judging from the few minutes of getting along, the personalities of the two, especially Nanshuang's character, are arrogant and self-controlled. Today's forced buying and selling, according to her temperament, she must disdain to ask for money.
Thinking of her plan, she pondered for a moment and said, "I can give you ten taels of silver, but I need you to do me a favor." ”
The eyes of the three lit up. In the past, they definitely didn't look down on ten taels of silver, but after all, this time is different from the past, they haven't opened for a long time, they can earn ten taels of silver, and the money for green medicine has also been settled.
Besides, today, the three of them also cheated this little lady, and they were forcibly pulled in, and they folded ten taels after taking a sip of tea, no matter how you look at it, they earned it.
Zuiqin was the first to nod, "Okay, you said, my sister will definitely do what she can do." ”
She put on an expression of looking at death as if she were at home, and Mu Xiwen smiled a little, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, on the contrary, this is still a good thing." But before you can do me a favor, you need to answer my question. ”
Yuan He nodded, "You say." ”
"Looking at the appearance of the three beauties, it shouldn't be a person who is short of money, right, how can they care so much about this mere ten taels of silver?"
The three of them glanced at each other, their faces showed helplessness and depression, and Nanshuang's face turned white in an instant.
The room fell silent, and even the drunken qin, who had been noisy before, lowered his head.
Just when Mu Xiwen thought that the three of them had something unspeakable and were reluctant to speak, Yuan He lowered his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and said in a light tone: "There is no other reason, but because the money that the three of us accumulated before was not enough, and now we are old and decrepit, and we are tight on money."
It happened that a few days ago, a sister was sick, and my mother didn't want to ask her for a doctor, so we just wanted to earn money for medical treatment. ”
Yuan He's words are half-truths at first glance, according to their appearance, they must have been famous in Tai'an when they were young, how could they be so poor that they don't even have money for medical treatment.
But Mu Xiwen himself undoubtedly probed into their secrets, and just wanted to cooperate with them.
She nodded dispensably and continued: "To be honest, I am the owner of a rouge shop, I don't know if you have heard of it, it is the Chu Dai rouge shop on Gongchen Street in the past on Sajin Street.
Recently, a new Rouge Shop has been opened, which has robbed me of all my customers. So during this time, I have been in retreat to develop a new rouge gouache, determined to become the first rouge shop in Tai'an Province. ”
Hearing that Mu Xiwen turned out to be a female owner, the three of them were shocked.
Zuiqin held her face and stared at her with a strange expression, "God, you are actually the owner of Chu Dai's rouge shop." Can a woman go out to do business? Nanshuang pursed her lips, and her eyes also showed envy.
Only Yuan He was a little calmer, she thought for a while, and asked, "So, little boy, do you want to ask a few of our sisters to promote your rouge shop for you?" ”
Mu Xiwen's eyes slipped with appreciation, and she didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Yes, this is called a 'beauty plan', what is more pleasing to the eye than a beauty?" ”
Zuiqin showed a little eagerness to try, but Yuan He was still very calm.
"Little boy, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that our sisters are not well-known in this gold street, and I'm afraid we can't help my little boy achieve the purpose of publicity."
Mu Xiwen shook his head confidently, and reached out to take out the Yang Taizhen red jade paste and pear flower paste he brought from his arms.
"You might as well try my rouge gouache first, I can guarantee that there is no rouge gouache on the market today that works better than mine."
A few days ago, when Dai Rouge Shop was in the limelight, they, the girls in Willow Lane, Flower Street, naturally heard of its reputation.
As far as Yuan He knows, Yi Dan in Yicui Building next door and Le Ling in Xiaoxiang Pavilion have all bought rouge gouache in Chu Dai's rouge shop. It's just that later, the limelight of Chu Dai's rouge shop was stolen by the Rouge Shop, and Yi Dan and Leling also switched to Toujing.
The three of them have never used the rouge gouache of the Chudai rouge shop, let alone the rouge gouache of the Zhujing rouge shop, after all, this price is too expensive for them now.
Yuan He took the Yang Taizhen red jade paste and pear flower paste handed over by Mu Xiwen, removed the makeup with water, and gently applied the paste under the worried eyes of Nanshuang and Zuiqin.
