The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 352 Rouge

And obviously this Chang'an County Duke has an unusual relationship with Xiao Langjun who is with the Duchess of Yiguo, otherwise the two would not have swaggered into their own rouge shop hand in hand, but this Xiao Langjun is really beautiful, if he dresses up as a woman, I am afraid that many women will be ashamed of themselves in front of him.

"I've seen my grandfather!" The shopkeeper came to Lu Chen, first gave Lu Chen a deep salute, and then continued with a smile, "I don't know what Grandpa is interested in?" ”

"What is this?" Lu Chen casually picked up a rouge box, looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"This is Xiangzawa!" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Kazawa?" Lu Chen opened the lid and sniffed it lightly, and a fragrance wafted out, and there was a kind of paste inside, in Lu Chen's opinion, this thing was particularly like the alabaster of later generations.

And a word suddenly popped up in Lu Chen's mind, that is, "a kiss to Xiangze".

"What's the use of that?" Lu Chen looked at the rouge shop and asked.

"It's a moisturizer!" The shopkeeper pointed to his hair and said.

Next, the shopkeeper introduced the types of rouge to Lu Chen, and directly listened to Lu Chen's head a little big, because Lu Chen found that the so-called "Hermes orange" and "red tea orange" in later generations were simply weak in front of the color titles of the ancients.

Originally, Lu Chen thought that there were only so many kinds of rouge used by women in ancient times, but after hearing the detailed introduction of the shopkeeper, Lu Chen found that it was really played by modern people, and it was all left over from the ancestors.

The so-called "rouge" is just one of these ancient cosmetics, and the original name of these things is called "fat powder", which over time is simply called "fat powder", and rouge is just one of them.

Fat is rouge, which is used to dot the lips and cheeks; Ze, also known as fragrant, is used to moisturize hair; powder, used to make noodles; Dai, on the other hand, is a blue-black pigment used for thrushes.

The reason why it is called "rouge" is because rouge is the most varied, such as rouge cake, rouge powder, rouge cream, rouge paper, rouge cotton, etc. Specifically, there are various names. Such as Pomegranate Jiao, Da Hong Chun, Xiao Hong Chun, Danxin Red, Wan Jin Hong, Shengtan Xin, Dew, Luo Er Yin, Xiao Zhulong, Mei Hua Nu and so on. There are so many categories, there are different shades, and each has its own use.

Rouge makeup, about five: one is Xia makeup, that is, to apply red face; The second is called Xingjing, that is, a red dot at the dimple; The three are called flowers, that is, to paste or draw flower ornaments in front of the forehead; Fourth, the lips are dotted, that is, the lips are painted red; Five is oblique red, that is, on both sides of the cheeks, each with a crescent-shaped red line, or painted as a diamond pattern, or painted as a soft pattern. These makeup methods all use rouge, but they have their own origins.

Xia makeup, also called Xiaoxia makeup. Xiaoxia should be bright red. After the fifth generation, the color is still light, also known as "peach blossom makeup".

Xingjing, also known as makeup. Legend has it that it began with Lady Deng of Sun and Zhizhi of Eastern Wu. Pointing out the star at that time, its shape is round, its size is like a small apricot, its number is double, and its color is apricot red.

Hana, also called Hanako. The simplest flower is a small dot, but the creative ancient women would use a variety of materials you don't expect, such as paper, gold leaf, fish cheekbones, camellia oil flower cakes and other materials to cut into the shape of various flowers, birds, insects and fish, among which plum blossoms are the most common, with a kind of glue (according to legend made of fish swim bladder) pasted on the forehead between the eyebrows.

According to legend, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Princess Shouyang, Liu Yu's daughter, one day when she was taking a nap, a plum blossom fell in the middle of her forehead, turning into a beautiful embellishment. Later, it couldn't be washed off, and gradually became a part of her face. Princess Shouyang was born very beautiful, under the embellishment of the plum blossoms, it was even more beautiful, so the palace maids followed suit, painted plum blossoms on the forehead with a red pen, or cut and pasted plum blossoms on the forehead with paper, which became the original plum blossom makeup.

Point lips, because of the different shades of rouge applied, and a little red lips, cherry, sandalwood lips and other names. The silk is purple-red, the cherry is bright red, and the sandalwood is light red.

This shopkeeper introduced the use and origin of these rouges to Lu Chen, and directly made Lu Chen stunned, not only surprised by the eloquence of the shopkeeper, but also surprised that the shopkeeper can actually quote scriptures, and the most important thing is that these ancients can actually play with these cosmetics, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, this shopkeeper is his mother's "sales talent"!

Because after listening to the shopkeeper's words, Lu Chen felt that if he was a customer, if he didn't buy something and leave, it would be disrespectful to the shopkeeper.

As for the word "lip" mentioned by the shopkeeper, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of a brand name "dotted lip", and Lu Chen felt that this "dotted lip" was derived from here.

"That's it!" Just one "rouge" shopkeeper can talk about so many things, and the rest of the "Ze Fandel" shopkeeper doesn't know how long to say, Lu Chen feels that if he is allowed to be introduced by this shopkeeper, I am afraid that he will not be able to finish talking until it gets dark.

Therefore, Lu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the shopkeeper from continuing.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the shopkeeper hurriedly shut up and didn't introduce it anymore, just standing there with his hands down.

"Your surname of the shopkeeper, do you have perfume here?" Lu Chen looked at the shopkeeper and asked directly.

"How dare a villain be noble in front of his grandfather! Cheap surname Xu, name letter, as for perfume? What's that? Is it scented water? When the shopkeeper heard Lu Chen's question, he looked puzzled, and at the same time asked Lu Chen tentatively.

"You can say that, so to speak!" Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Xu, Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Grandpa Qi, the shop really doesn't have the so-called 'perfume' of Grandpa!" Shopkeeper Xu shook his head, and responded cautiously, after all, he was very afraid that the "clean street tiger" in front of him would directly dismantle his rouge shop because there was no "perfume" in the store.

"You haven't heard of perfume, but you've ever heard anyone mention it?" Lu Chen looked at the shopkeeper Xu and asked again.

"Hmm..."Shopkeeper Xu pondered, "The villain's shop has been open for several generations since his ancestors, but he has never heard of the perfume that his grandfather said!" Shopkeeper Xu thought about it and shook his head.

Seeing the performance of the shopkeeper Xu, Lu Chen nodded, his expression was still very calm, but he already felt joy in his heart, because he had found a way to make money again, you know, women and children have the best money, and this "perfume" is the way to make money!

"Shopkeeper Xu, if you have time, can you go to my father's Lujiazhuang, my father's father has some things I want to discuss with Shopkeeper Xu!" Lu Chen looked at Xu Xin and said with a smile.

"Grandpa summoned, how dare you disobey!" Although Xu Xin was a little apprehensive in his heart, although the Chang'an County Duke in front of him had the nickname of "Jingjie Tiger", he had never heard that this Chang'an County Duke had indiscriminately killed innocents, not to mention, a little person like himself was not worthy of being tricked by this county magistrate into going to Lujiazhuang and then killing him!

"That's great!" Lu Chen nodded, looked at Li Yanjun's side, and found that she had already chosen a lot of rouge with Jia Xiuying, and it was in front of the two of them at this time, "Wrap up all the ones they have chosen!" Liu Jing! Lu Chen said and directly called Liu Jing and beckoned, Liu Jing consciously came over and took out the money bag.

"It's three hundred and twenty in total!" Xu Xin counted the goods of the two, looked at Lu Chen and said, "Touch the change, and the grandfather can give three hundred yuan!" Xu Xin said to Lu Chen flatteringly.

"Pay in full!" Lu Chen gestured to Liu Jing, "It's not easy for you to do business, you don't have to be like this!" Lu Chen waved his hand directly, and Lu Chen directly took out the copper money in the money bag and paid it to the shopkeeper Xu.

Liu Jing on the side paid the money, and automatically and consciously picked up the box wrapped in rouge.

Lu Chen and Li Yanjun walked out of the rouge shop and separated from Jia Xiuying at the door of the shop, Jia Xiuying did not forget to invite Lu Chen to the Yiguo Mansion as a guest, Lu Chen agreed with a smile.

Although there are still people on the road pointing at Lu Chen and Li Yanjun, Lu Chen is directly in a posture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water at this time, what do you like, it is estimated that after today, the entire Chang'an will set off a new wave of heated discussions about himself, but if there are more lice, don't bite, don't worry if you have more debts, Lu Chen directly calms down, it doesn't matter.

Next, Lu Chen and Li Yanjun went to some stalls and shops together, and when they arrived near the imperial city, not only Liu Jing was carrying a lot of things in his hands, but even Chun'e and the guards were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

Originally, Li Yanjun and Chun'e didn't come out of the main gate, they sneaked out from the side gate, but now the road that Lu Chen and Li Yanjun are taking, if they want to enter the imperial city through the side gate again, they have to pass through the main gate.

Lu Chen and Li Yanjun had just passed by the main gate, and they were directly shouted: "The old slave has seen Princess Langya, Your Majesty is waiting to summon you!" Hearing this title, Li Yanjun's body stiffened, but this voice Lu Chen was extremely familiar, and the two of them turned their heads together to find that Chang Bao was saluting Li Yanjun.

In fact, they didn't see Chang Bao, they did, but they both pretended not to see it and wanted to slide over directly, but they were stopped by Chang Bao directly.

"Governor Chang, let's meet again!" Lu Chen beckoned to Chang Bao and said hello with a smile.

Looking at Lu Chen's hippie smiling face, Chang Bao complained in his heart, but he still maintained his demeanor on the surface, and greeted Lu Chen: "I've seen Lu Xiangong!" ”

"Governor Chang, let's do this today! It's a bit of a misunderstanding! Regardless of whether Chang Bao understands it or not, Lu Chen smiled directly with Chang Bao, "I hope that Governor Chang will say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, how about it?" ”

"This old slave doesn't dare to make decisions on his own, and it still needs His Majesty to decide!" Chang Bao saluted Lu Chen again, and smiled indifferently, he didn't need to say much, just one sentence, and those who should understand would naturally understand.
