Chapter 71: I Heard Again
The decoration of this shop, called Baihuaxiang, is very luxurious, all the shelves are made of fine camphor wood, and some are just the right amount of fabrics such as gold velvet, which looks very tasteful and stylish.
And the bottles, jars, and boxes with rouge, gouache, and lip paper are also very delicate.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the prices of these things and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
The price of the things here is obviously expensive, just a small box of rouge costs ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person for almost a year.
It seems that there are quite a lot of rich people in Luoyang City...... Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh, because even with such a high price, there are still many people here to pick and choose.
This is in stark contrast to those homeless people, which makes Zhu Yunxi think deeply.
If the people of a country are too poor to even afford to eat, in the long run, an uprising will inevitably break out.
This is a summary of history, the final demise of the Ming Dynasty was also because of lack of money, the decline of national strength, and the external Houjin tiger eyeing the outside, but internally it had to face the uprising of the displaced people.
Finally, when Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself on the coal mountain.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had just been established, although after the vicissitudes of war, the life of the people was not easy, but if this phenomenon was not changed quickly, I am afraid that there would be great trouble.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, the people at the bottom of society, became the new rulers, and many people began to be extremely hedonistic and greedy for money, completely forgetting what they used to do and what kind of life they lived.
The gap between the rich and the poor in society is constantly expanding, and the class contradictions are bound to deepen!
Thinking of these, Zhu Yunxi has a headache, Zhu Yuanzhang is old, and he will die in a few years, if he becomes the prince, then all these problems will fall on his head.
"What the hell is going to do?"
He asked himself in his heart, and suddenly he felt a huge pressure.
"Actually, it's good to be a carefree little landlord."
He remembered the original intention he had just crossed over, and he couldn't help but feel very distressed.
"But who would have thought that unconsciously, I would have so many bonds, Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, Fu Youde and others are all people who care about themselves, and I will never watch them being killed by Zhu Yuanzhang one by one."
"And Miaojin, even if she is willing to follow her as a carefree landlord's wife, can the Xu family behind him agree?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi sighed deeply, only then did he know that no matter what world he was in, it was impossible for a man to do what he wanted.
In my previous life, I had to work to earn money, I had to give my family a good living environment, and I had to face the accusations of my boss and the jealousy and difficulties of my colleagues.
In this life, I have to face a more dangerous political struggle, in one word, difficult!
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was silent and looked preoccupied, Luan Yu couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What's the matter, are you unhappy with me?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head, shrugged his shoulders again, and pointed to the women in the store with some helplessness, and said with a wry smile:
"Look, it's all women here, how can there be a big man staying here?"
Luan Yu giggled: "You're still a child, and you're not a real man, what are you afraid of?" ”
This sentence made Zhu Yunxi stunned, looked at the smiling Luan Yu in a daze, and after a while, he said viciously:
"You're playing with fire again, do you want me to show you the proof?"
Luan Yu laughed so hard that she flashed a wink at Zhu Yunxi, and whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear:
"Okay, little third master, do you dare?"
I dare to dare, but when I think of your age, my heart is a little uncomfortable...... Zhu Yunxi felt that he couldn't provoke Luanyu in the future, otherwise he would have to lose his body one day.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, Luan Yu pursed her lips and sneered: "Hmph, coward!" ”
Zhu Yunxi pursed her lips angrily, "Miss Luanyu, how old are you?" ”
Luan Yu was stunned, and said with a smile: "Guess? ”
After finishing speaking, she showed an aggrieved expression and said, "Actually, people can be big or small. ”
Ah......h
Zhu Yunxi felt that the other party was driving, and the speed was very high, he blushed a little, but he couldn't help but glance at the other party's bumpy body.
His appearance immediately caused Luan Yuhua to tremble, covering his mouth and bending over, feeling that tears were about to burst into laughter.
Is it that funny...... Zhu Yunxi was stunned, but he caught a glimpse of a woman in white walking in from outside the door.
The woman in white was holding her hair in a high bun, the white clothes on her body were like a Taoist robe, her eyes were cold, and there was a coldness all over her body.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't take his eyes off it at a glance, not lustful, but pure appreciation.
This woman is like a painting, with a good figure, big breasts and a thin waist, and when she walks, she can feel that she has two long legs, her skin is as white as ivory porcelain, and her face is exquisite, just like a fairy who comes out of the painting.
As for age, Zhu Yunxi said that he couldn't see it.
Because Luan Yu's age couldn't be seen, he now felt that he had better not guess the woman's age, because it was very likely that he would surprise himself.
The woman in white walked around the store casually, and when she passed in front of Zhu Yunxi, a faint fragrance came from her body.
"It smells so good!"
Zhu Yunxi screamed in his heart, and sniffed as if he was enjoying it.
This action was a bit exaggerated, the woman in white obviously felt it, she glanced sideways at Zhu Yunxi, and saw that the other party was just a teenager, so she smiled dumbly in her heart and no longer paid attention to Zhu Yunxi.
"Are you stunned?"
Zhu Yunxi's voice came from Luan Yu's ears coldly, and he turned his head to look, only to find that Luan Yu was staring at him with a mocking look.
"Is she a Dao Aunt?"
Zhu Yunxi asked in a low voice, the reason why she asked this was because the woman in white had a black green silk tied into a high bun, with an ebony hairpin inserted in the middle.
"How do I know?"
Luan Yu also whispered: "You'd better not mess with him and her." ”
"You mean she's amazing?"
Luan Yu nodded in approval.
"How is that better than you?"
Luan Yu shook her head and said she didn't know.
"And who is the eldest of you?"
Luan Yu was stunned: "Which point are you asking?" ”
I'm rubbing, you're driving again..... Zhu Yunxi took a breath: "Age! ”
"I don't know!"
Luan Yu got angry and turned his head to ignore Zhu Yunxi.
It seems that in any era should you not ask a woman's age...... Zhu Yunxi smiled awkwardly, but saw that the clerk had already come to Luan Yu with a box.
"This girl, this is a batch of goods that we have just arrived, the Jiangnan Su family's interrogation series."
Before Luan Yu could speak, Zhu Yunxi almost burst out laughing.
Intercession? It's so modern, I don't know who came up with it...... He looked at the box as well.
Luan Yu stretched out his hand, took out the rouge gouache from the delicate wooden box, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
"Girl, you can try."
The clerk said diligently, brought a bronze mirror, and placed it in front of Luan Yu.
Luan Yu sat down and began to try it out on her own.
The woman in white only glanced at it slightly, then looked away again.
After a while, I heard the woman in white ask the clerk:
"Do you have a perfume called First Sight?"
When the clerk heard the name, there was a hint of surprise on his face, and he said:
"Could it be that the girl is asking about the life of the little third master, if it is only as first seen?"
"Little Third Master?"
The woman in white shook her head: "I just like this poem very much, so I like this perfume very much, but I don't know who the little third master is." ”
"Ahem, the little third master is the grandson of His Majesty today!"
The clerk said:
"This girl has a good eye, that kind of perfume is very in demand, and the small store is sending someone to buy it from Yingtianfu, and it may not be available for a while."
The woman in white showed a trace of regret in her eyes, nodded slightly at the clerk, and said softly:
"Then I'll come back in a few days."
As soon as the clerk saw that the woman in white was leaving, he immediately said:
"Girl, stay, this perfume is very demanding, if the girl likes it, you might as well leave a deposit, otherwise I am afraid that it will be sold out soon after it arrives."
"So?"
The woman in white was stunned and asked, "What is the price?" ”
"Twenty taels of silver for a bottle, and a deposit of thirty percent, is six taels of silver."
The clerk looked at the woman in white and said.
"So expensive?"
The woman in white frowned, a little hesitant.
When the clerk saw the look of the woman in white, he suddenly lost interest, and said lightly:
"This kind of perfume is in short supply, and if the girl is too expensive, she can look at other goods."
The woman in white didn't care about the clerk's attitude, but her face showed a tangled look and fell into hesitation.
Zhu Yunxi was also a little stunned at the moment, and said secretly in his heart:
"What's going on? Didn't you give it to the two princesses at first sight? When did you take it out and sell it? ”
He frowned, "Could it be that there are also counterfeit and shoddy products in this era?" ”
It's no wonder he thinks so, because perfume didn't exist at all at this time, and except for himself, a traverser, it is estimated that no one knows how to make it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"This little brother, have you ever sold this perfume in this store before?"
"Nope!"
The clerk's words surprised both Zhu Yunxi and the woman in white, but they heard the clerk explain:
"I heard that this perfume was invented by the little third master in the capital and given to the two princesses, and the first time I saw this name, it also originated from the poem of the little third master."
The clerk shook his head and read the poem again, and then continued:
"A while ago, a store called Hatsumi in Yingtianfu began to pre-sell this perfume, and I heard that many people have pre-ordered, and merchants from all over the world have also placed orders for this store."
"I see."
The woman in white nodded: "I also knew about it from a friend in Ying Tianfu, so I came to ask." ”
Zhu Yunxi understood now, but he was even more curious: "Who opened that store in Yingtianfu?" Could it be the two princesses? ”
So he looked at Luan Yu, but saw that Luan Yu was also looking at him with puzzled eyes.
Looks like she doesn't know either...... Zhu Yunxi became even more curious in his heart.
"Could it be that someone has already mastered how to make this perfume?"
He said secretly in his heart, but shook his head again.
He wasn't made by anyone who watched it closely, so it was impossible for someone to steal it.
Forget it, don't think about it...... He reached into his arms, took out a bottle of perfume, and handed it to the woman in white.
"I gave it to you."
Zhu Yunxi said as he placed the bottle of perfume in front of the woman in white.
"First Meeting!"
The clerk's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted.
Although he had never seen this kind of perfume, the delicate bottle was clearly engraved with two words: "First Sight!" ”
The woman in white glanced at Zhu Yunxi a little strangely, but she reached out and picked up the bottle, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, then gently pulled it out and sniffed it under Xiuting's nose.
"This son, where did you get this bottle of perfume from?"
The clerk looked at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously and asked, because this kind of perfume is not sold on the market, it belongs to the kind of thing that only hears its name and does not see its body.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and didn't speak, but heard Luan Yu Yin and Yang say in a weird way:
"People are the little third masters, and people use this thing to please women."
As soon as the words fell, the clerk and the woman in white all looked at Zhu Yunxi together.
The little clerk opened her mouth wide in surprise, but the woman in white stared at Zhu Yunxi, and the complicated emotions in her eyes flashed.
Zhu Yunxi was a little embarrassed when Luan Yu told her identity.
He didn't actually want to please the woman in white, but men may have this problem, and when they see a beautiful woman, they always want to show it inexplicably.
So he took the perfume out.
"You are the little third master who wrote this poem?"
"That is, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson?"
The woman in white looked at Zhu Yunxi and asked, this sentence startled everyone again.
"I'm afraid this girl has a brain problem, right? Dare to call the emperor's name directly, aren't you afraid of being killed? ”
The little clerk looked around in fear, very worried about the beautiful woman in white.
Several guests on the side also stared at the woman in white in surprise, and they also heard what the woman in white said just now, and they were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws.
Luan Yu stared at the woman in white curiously, with a playful smile on her face.
Although Zhu Yunxi is a modern person, he also knows that in this era, if he calls the emperor by his name, it is a big crime to kill his head.
Could it be that this girl's identity is special?
...... Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I'm Zhu Yunxi." ”
"Not bad, not bad."
The woman in white nodded frequently, and she was talking to herself.
It seems that he really knows Zhu Yuanzhang...... Zhu Yunxi was sure of this fact in his heart, but he was even more curious.
"This girl looks like she is about twenty years old, how can she be familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang?
And it sounds quite big, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's elders. ”
Could she? is also the same as Luan Yu, who is already an old woman who is dozens of years old?
...... He stared at the woman in white and asked:
"Do you know my grandfather?"
The woman in white glanced at Zhu Yunxi strangely, and said with a smile: "He is the emperor, everyone in the world knows him?" ”
