Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Glimpses of Jinfutang
Zhao Qianqian took Chengshuang home and solicited Chengshuang's thoughts.
Cheng Shuang was reluctant to return to the Qin Mansion and planned to earn money to redeem himself.
Mrs. Fan was really ruthless, and she was injured all over her body, Zhao Qianqian asked her to rest at home for a few days, and then make plans when the injury was healed.
The rooms at home were already full, and Zhao Qianqian arranged for Chengshuang and Zhao Qingyao to live in one room.
When Chengshuang arrived, no one else expressed resistance, and the family was harmonious.
As soon as Zhao Qianqian went out, Chengshuang began to be busy cleaning at home, washing clothes, bathing children, and even the chicken coop at home was washed by her.
Ye Qianfan came back to change clothes at noon, thinking that he had gone to the wrong door, and just about to open the door, he took a few steps back to see that it was indeed his own home, but this door was so clean that it seemed to be new.
In the corner of the corridor, the spider's nest is gone, and the mosquitoes on the pillars of the corridor are unstable, and Cheng Liangcheng is so bright that he can shake out the shadow.
Chengshuang came and robbed all the housework in the family, and did it better than everyone before.
Daddy has nothing to do at all, in the past, children could watch children cook, but now several children have become Chengshuang's followers, and Daddy is completely retired.
The old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, his calculation was that with this girl, his granddaughter would not have to do housework.
Shen Junchen hasn't come in the past few days, the old man can't find anyone to go to him, he is bored, and he complains a little in his heart: "This kid doesn't know how to accompany my old man except for eating, and next time he will block him from the door." ”
Today, Zhao Qianqian's dinner at home, made by Chengshuang, the cooking skills are good, and even the old man, who has always been a picky eater, nodded with satisfaction.
After dinner, Zhao Qianqian went to Chenxi Teahouse, she picked up a pot of wine and went directly to Fanchen's room.
Recently, she has been going there a lot, and Xiao Er in the teahouse knows that she is a friend of Fanchen, and she doesn't stop her when she goes in and out.
Hearing someone coming in, Fan Chen didn't even look at it, and kept staring at the roof in a daze.
Zhao Qianqian walked over, pulled him up, and poured half of a pot of wine into him.
Fan Chen pushed her away: "You're crazy, why are you pouring me wine?" ”
Zhao Qianqian said angrily: "You still know that I'm crazy? Get up and look at your ghost now, don't you often go to the Garden of Incense? Those girls kiss you and hug you, why don't you see that you don't want to die or live? The eldest lady hasn't done anything to you, you're going to die, are you still a little promising? ”
Fan Chen was annoyed: "But she is my mother, how can she kiss me?" ”
Zhao Qianqian reminded: "It's not biological, besides, when a person is not sober, his behavior is unconscious." ”
Zhao Qianqian continued: "Ingesting drugs by mistake, although she deserves it, she doesn't know what she is doing after all, but you are sober, you should find a way to solve the problem, instead of being decadent like you, with your sesame-sized psychological endurance, what big thing can you do?" ”
Fan Chen sighed heavily and didn't speak again.
"If you do this again tomorrow, believe it or not, I will demolish your teahouse!"
After speaking, Zhao Qianqian put the wine jug on the table heavily, turned around and walked out of the Dust Building.
There were a few stars in the sky, most of the shops on the street were closed, and there was a lone lantern hanging in front of the store.
Zhao Qianqian's heart was gone, and he drifted aimlessly on the street, and unconsciously walked in front of the yamen.
The official guarding the door saw her: "Girl, go back quickly, don't be alone outside at night, it's not safe." ”
Zhao Qianqian looked inside the yamen and saluted to the officials guarding the door: "May I ask if Lord Shen is in the yamen?" ”
The official glanced at her, and saw that she was dressed a little shabbyly, so he ignored her with a straight face.
Zhao Qianqian was bored, but he was not angry, pouted and turned to walk back.
When passing by Yuhutong Street, I glanced at Jinfutang, and there were still a few bright lanterns hanging at the door, and the store was also bright.
At this time, the lights of Manxiang Garden and Yihong Courtyard are the most lively time of the day.
With two green houses, there are more people at night, and the shops close later.
Zhao Qianqian walked over and saw that the rouge gouache shop of the shopkeeper Li was not closed, but he was reluctant to hang a lantern at the door.
Tianbao was still playing in the store, and when he saw Zhao Qianqian coming, he took his little hand and asked for kiwi to eat.
Shopkeeper Li scolded: "It's really rude to eat when you see your sister." ”
Zhao Qianqian promised to bring it to him tomorrow, and then sorted out the containers of the things in the store.
Because of the change of seasons, I sorted out some rouge gouache items used in winter and gave the list to Shopkeeper Li.
Now there are no customers in the store, Zhao Qianqian learned from Shopkeeper Li about the workshop of rouge gouache in Qingyun County.
There are four rouge gouache workshops in this Qingyun City, one in the south city, two in the east city, and one in the west city.
The largest of these is the Yujin Fang in Dongcheng, which is also the best one for rouge gouache, but the price is higher than the other three workshops, and it is also sold to other counties outside the city to Qingyun County.
The second is the Aoxue Yingchun in Xicheng, this workshop is also good rouge, it is an old workshop, the price is on par with Yujinfang, but there are no other sales channels, and the business is worse.
The goods purchased by Shopkeeper Li are made by Nancheng Workshop, the price is cheaper, and the quality of the goods is poorer.
Zhao Qianqian asked the shopkeeper Li to bring in some goods from Aoxue to welcome the Spring Festival, and then match the makeup to the customer according to the customer's needs and the acceptance of the price.
Zhao Qianqian found that there was no such thing as hand cream in the store, and after inquiry, there were no such products in this dynasty.
Zhao Qianqian also found that the quality of these rouge gouaches is actually not very good, and there is no emollient effect.
If you want to really do a good job in the makeup industry and create beauty without makeup, you will be accepted by a wider range of people.
Zhao Qianqian, the rouge gouache in Li's shopkeeper's store, understood it very clearly, and left after looking at the store for a while.
At this hour, there was not a single customer in Li's shopkeeper's shop, but Jinfengtang's business seemed to be good, and there were people coming in and out all the time.
Shopkeeper Li's rouge gouache shop has robbed a lot of Jinfengtang's business, but it doesn't seem to have much impact on them, and Jinfengtang still has a lot of customers.
Zhao Qianqian entered Jinfeng Hall, and Xiao Er saw that she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and looked at her and ignored her.
Zhao Qianqian wandered around the store by herself, she didn't come to buy things, she entered the store to see the goods sold here, and the second was to see the consumer population here.
The packaging of these goods is more exquisite than that of Li's shopkeeper's store, and the condition of the rouge is also better than that of Li's shopkeeper's store, but the quality is not much better, and the price is much higher.
It seems that business here is good, and not just because of the big shops.
Most of the people who enter the store come by sedan chair, and in this era, the sedan chair at home is basically a relatively wealthy family.
These people come into the store and get the most expensive ones here.
It seems that these people are not bad money, as long as there are good goods, there is no worry about no sales.
"Shopkeeper, do you have jade grease from the Imperial City here?" A woman in purple with a veil asked.
The woman's waist was as thin as a willow, her figure was tall, her hair was black and smooth like a waterfall, her eyes were like a crescent moon, and although she only showed the upper half of her face, she could see that her skin was as smooth as jade.
The voice is gentle and beautiful, and the gestures are full of elegance, and the whole person is extraordinary, with a variety of styles.
Tang Lin's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly walked over and replied: "Not for the time being, I don't know where the girl's family lives, and the goods will be sent to you when they arrive tomorrow." ”
The woman in purple said, "No need, when will it arrive tomorrow, I'll pick it up myself." ”
Tang Lin thought for a while: "It is expected that the girl can come over at the right time." ”
Zhao Qianqian looked at the things in the store, and glanced at the two from time to time, seemingly inadvertently, but in fact, she heard the conversation between the two very clearly.
The woman in purple looked inside again, and then walked out of Jinfeng Hall.
A four-person sedan chair was waiting outside the store, and the four people who carried the sedan chair saw the woman in purple come out, lifted the sedan curtain, and the woman in purple sat down and got up and left.
The sedan chair is pasted on all sides with the words "Qingyun sedan chair for rent", which seems to be a rented sedan chair.
Watching the woman walk out of Jinfeng Hall, Tang Lin gave Xiao Er a look, and Xiao Er nodded slightly and entered the backyard.
Soon, two big men in black with stubble walked out of the backyard, Tang Lin whispered a few words to the two, his eyes looked outside Jinfeng Hall, and the two nodded and walked out of Jinfeng Hall.
Zhao Qianqian took a look at it in Jinfeng Hall, and the things inside were basically clear.
Zhao Qianqian walked out of Jinfeng Hall and walked in the direction of home, because it was late, she was in a hurry.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and there were a few lanterns that were not too bright on the street.
The light is faint, I can't see the distance clearly, there is a four-person sedan chair 100 meters away in front, and the sedan chair bearer holds the lantern, which is particularly bright in the dark night.
Zhao Qianqian wanted to run up and follow the sedan chair, but he could also use the light.
But after a few steps, she slowed down.
Zhao Qianqian found that about ten meters behind the sedan chair, two burly men followed the sedan chair in front of them unhurriedly.
These two are the two big men who came out of Jinfutang.
Zhao Qianqian wondered, these two have been following the sedan chair, could it be that they want to protect the beauty?
Zhao Qianqian also followed from a distance without hurrying, wanting to see what was going on.
Walking to a narrow alley, the two big men covered their faces, and suddenly accelerated their pace and galloped towards the sedan chair.
The sedan chair driver noticed that there was something wrong behind him, stopped the sedan chair and raised the lantern to see what was going on behind him, but suddenly the cold light flashed in front of him, and they all fell down.
The woman in the sedan chair seemed to be aware and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
No one answered.
The curtain was lifted and poked out, and two big men hit the back of the neck, and the woman fainted.
The two big men put the woman in purple back into the sedan chair, dragged a few sedan chair drivers to a secret place in the corner, turned around and tore off the words on the sedan chair, and lifted the sedan chair to walk towards Yuhutong Street.
Zhao Qianqian hid in the dark, and did not dare to come out, only in a moment, the four sedan chair men lost their lives, and the woman in purple was robbed.
Zhao Qianqian felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he covered his chest with both hands.
Suddenly, two big men carried the sedan chair and walked to Zhao Qianqian's hideout and paused.
Zhao Qianqian raised his throat and covered his mouth.
The two of them glanced around and sped away.
Zhao Qianqian calmed down a little and followed again, this time she followed farther away, wanting to see where these two people were going to take the woman in purple.
Out of the alley, the two big men tore off the veil covering their faces, took off their black clothes and threw them into the sedan chair, lifted the sedan chair and continued walking.
At this time, except for Yihongyuan and Manxiangyuan, the other shops on Yuhutong Street were closed.
The sedan chair fell at the door of the Kinfudo, and the knock was two long and one short, and the door opened from the inside.
Tang Lin poked his head out, looked around, made sure that no one had followed, opened the door, and the two carried the sedan chair in.
