The reason why Hu Changan wanted to promote this lipstick to the Qinglou first was because the Qinglou in the Ming Dynasty was the vane that led women's makeup.

Many of the popular women's makeup is spread from the Qinglou.

Qinglou will even hold a beauty contest every month, so that those elegant literati can vote for the most beautiful Oiran in their hearts.

These oirans will ride floats and parade through the busiest markets.

This is definitely a rare entertainment activity in Daming.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an empty alley by 10,000 people at that time.

And those women who were selected as Oiran, their makeup and dress were naturally the vane of the Ming women.

Not only will ordinary women compete to imitate each other, but even the young lady of the big family also said that the Qinglou woman was vulgar and unbearable, and secretly imitated the makeup of the Qinglou woman.

Therefore, promoting lipstick in the Qinglou is undoubtedly the fastest way to promote lipstick.

Hu Changan couldn't help but sigh secretly, he didn't expect that he hadn't held a girl's hand in his previous life, and he was going to visit the Qinglou in this life, which was really exciting.

......

At night, the street of Qinglou is crowded with people.

Flower-like girls dressed in brightly colored dresses stood at the door to greet the send-off.

Today's Hu Changan also changed into a pure white robe, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, quite like a gentleman.

This time, Hu Changan chose the largest green building in Yingtian City, Zuiyue Tower.

It is said that this month's Oiran is likely to be born in the Drunken Moon Building.

As soon as Hu Changan stepped into the Zuiyue Tower, the enthusiastic bustard greeted him: "Childe, you look like a fresh face, are you here for the first time?" If there is a girl you want to meet, I will help you introduce you. ”

Hu Changan looks dressed up, and he is a son who is not bad for money.

This is much better than those poor literati, and the old bustard doesn't want to miss this kind of big customer.

Hu Changan shook the fan in his hand and said, "The girl in your building who is most likely to be selected for the next Oiran, I wonder if you can recommend one or two for me?" ”

When the old bustard heard Hu Changan's words, he immediately blossomed with joy: "Oh, son, you have a really good vision." The Cuicui girl in our building is definitely a popular candidate for the next Oiran. ”

"Our Cuicui girl, not only is she handsome, but she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"But the introduction fee of our Cuicui girl is not cheap......"

As he spoke, the old bustard looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Hu Changan also knew this, and directly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over: "Money is not a problem, please help me introduce it." ”

"Hey, okay, okay, no problem, no problem." The old bustard got the silver, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly led Hu Changan upstairs to sit down.

Following the bustard, Hu Changan came to a beautifully decorated room upstairs, sipping tea while quietly waiting for the arrival of the prospective Oiran.

Hu Changan waited for a while, and the door of the room was gently pushed open.

The delicate female voice sounded in Hu Changan's ears: "Childe, I don't know if you want to listen to music or drink when you call the slave family?" ”

When Hu Changan turned around, he saw a delicate girl standing behind him, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

The girl is about 20 years old, and it is a good time to bud and wait to be released.

The girl is born extremely bright, and her facial features are perfect almost as if they were painted.

Between the eye waves, the beauty is fully revealed, and it is worthy of being a strong contender for the next Oiran.

Hu Changan smiled slightly, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Girl, I came here to discuss something with you." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

The girl named Cuicui smiled, and the smile was very charming.

Cuicui slowly sat down on the chair in front of Hu Changan, like a coquettish boneless snake: "What does Childe want to talk about?" ”

As she spoke, Cuicui slowly put her hand on Hu Changan's hand.

Cuicui doesn't think that when a man comes to Qinglou, he can talk about anything serious.

Hu Changan was slightly stunned, and directly withdrew his hand: "Miss Cuicui, I really want to talk about things." ”

Looking at Hu Changan's serious eyes, Cuicui was a little surprised.

It seems that this person is really ready to come to talk about business?

But she is a woman in a green house, what business is there to talk about?

However, Cuicui is also a quasi-Oiran with high emotional intelligence, and after being stunned for a moment, she quickly put away the charm on her face, and said with a straight face: "I don't know what the son is here to talk about?" ”

Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what rouge gouache the girl uses on weekdays?" ”

After hearing this, Cuicui was a little confused, but she still replied according to her words: "If you go back to Gongzi, most of the rouge gouache in the slave family on weekdays is bought by herself." It's just some big road goods that I bought, not expensive things. ”

Hu Changan listened and said slowly: "I don't know Miss Cuicui, can you be willing to use the new type of rouge produced by our Hu family?" ”

"As long as you promise to use our Hu family's new rouge, the Hu family can supply you for free."

"In other words, in the future, as long as you use the rouge produced by Hu's, you won't have to spend a penny."

"Not only that, as long as you successfully become an Oiran and choose our Hu Rouge when parading the streets, we can also give you an extra thousand taels of silver."

What?

Cuicui was shocked.

One thousand taels of silver, this is half a year's salary!

Cuicui's shameful heart moved.

If she had such a large sum of silver, she would definitely be able to redeem herself in advance!

But what kind of wrongdoer is this, spending so much money just to let her use Hu's rouge?

Cuicui cautiously replied: "Childe, why don't you show me this new type of rouge first?" That's how I can make a decision. ”

Although Cuicui was very moved by Hu Changan's proposal, Cuicui was not the kind of brainless person.

As a Qinglou woman, her face is her life!

Especially to achieve the level of Oiran like Cuicui, the face is even more important.

On weekdays, Cuicui has put a lot of effort into her face, and daily maintenance is a meal.

When choosing rouge gouache, Cuicui also does her best to choose the best.

The Qinglou woman is not like a woman from a good family, she only occasionally applies grease and powder.

The woman in the Qinglou has to wear makeup every day, and Cuicui attaches great importance to the quality of rouge gouache.

After all, if she uses inferior rouge gouache and has acne on her face, then she doesn't want a job.

Therefore, although Cuicui is very attracted to Hu Changan's silver, she also values her face.

If Hu Changan took out inferior rouge, then no matter how much money Hu Changan paid, she would not use it anyway.
