Chapter 160: Rouge

After leaving Bai Xiushang, Li Xuandu's confidence increased greatly. Among the twelve sects of the righteous path, ranked by strength, the Jing Zen sect that was destroyed by the earth master is undoubtedly the last, the Qingwei sect and the Zhengyi sect are the strongest, followed by the Taiping sect, the Cihang sect, the Vajra sect, the Shingon sect and other sects, just because the foundation of the Vajra Sect and the Shingon Sect is far away in the Western Regions, and the power in the Central Plains is not strong, but it is not as good as the Cihang Sect and the Taiping Sect. It just so happens that the Taiping Sect and the Cihang Sect are located in Luzhou and Jiangzhou, which face each other across the big river, and also separate the Jiangnan and Jiangbei, so they are natural Chinese people.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su strolled in the Jinling Mansion, and Qin Su took out the hat that Li Xuandu gave her at the beginning to cover her original appearance. In fact, she originally wanted to wear a mask of "white silk", but after thinking about it, just based on her appearance, Li Xuandu is also middle-class, and standing with him with such a mediocre appearance will make people look sideways, so it is better to cover her appearance directly. In all fairness, Qin Su doesn't particularly care about the etiquette and religion of Confucianism, nor is she afraid of being outstanding, but she is simply shy and easy to be shy.

Li Xuan knew Qin Su's temperament, and he didn't force it, took out a folding fan, and began to be elegant in the early spring weather. The two walked side by side, like a couple walking the rivers and lakes, in fact, it shouldn't be said to be like, it should be, but for Li Xuandu, "walking the rivers and lakes" has become blurred.

The height of the temple corresponds to the distance of the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are far away from the temples.

The rivers and lakes are also the love, hatred, and hatred of the people in the rivers and lakes.

How many crazy men and women meet, know each other, and hold hands in the rivers and lakes; how many poor people cherish themselves, appreciate themselves, and pity themselves in the rivers and lakes; how many prodigal heroes live together, die together, and walk with swords in the rivers and lakes; how many strangers compete for fame, profit, and sword in the rivers and lakes.

Li Xuandu also had such rivers and lakes, before the first year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu, who was alias Zifuke, walked such rivers and lakes, but for the current Li Xuandu, is he still far away from the temple?

Now Li Xuandu has a strong sense of purpose in every move, has greater power and higher status, but he has also lost the freedom and casualness of the past, let alone happy enmity.

Perhaps because of his nostalgia for the past, Li Xuandu likes to walk around in his spare time to find a sense of the past. At the same time, Li Xuandu felt that he was a little old, and before he was established, he had already begun to reminisce about the past, and when he reached the age of sixties, should he be a demon like many old-timers with strange temperaments?

Qin Su is a very quiet person most of the time, but when he gets along with Li Xuandu, he will be an exception, just like when Li Xuandu gets along with Qin Su, he will also become frivolous. Qin Su said softly: "You are really shameless, and your mother-in-law can also shout." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned red first, but fortunately there was a hat to cover it, and others couldn't see it.

Li Xuandu said indifferently: "What's embarrassing, after all, it's a matter of time, if you don't call it now, you have to call it in the future." Don't talk about me, think about yourself, you have to call your mother. ”

Qin Sudao: "At that time, I won't be in Liaodong, let her go." ”

Li Xuandu teased: "There are many records of ancestors sailing overseas in the Qingwei Sect, it is said

Farther afield, there is a huge bird that cannot fly, but it runs so fast that when it encounters an enemy, it buries its head in the sand and pretends that the enemy will not find it. ”

Qin Su said angrily: "Okay, you said that I didn't care about the head and the tail." ”

Li Xuandu said: "I didn't say it, you realized it yourself." ”

After all, it was in public, Qin Su was not good at moving, so he could only glare at Li Xuandu, but through the hanging veil of the hat, the effect was quite limited. Since the two met, it has always been Li Xuandu who attacked, Qin Su defended, and Qin Su's slight offensive was insignificant for the thick-skinned Li Xuandu.

At this moment, Qin Su saw a Taiping money village from a distance and said, "Coincidentally, it's your family's property, and I just want to take a little money." ”

Li Xuandu was surprised: "The dignified Miss Qin will also be short of money?"

Qin Su straightened his face and snorted lightly, "What do you mean 'Miss Qin will also be short of money', you are still the sect master of the Taiping Sect, the Taiping Sect is rich in the world, and I don't see how much savings you have, you just threw money outside, and also looted my family's funds, is the money you should spend in the Taiping Inn a small amount?"

Li Xuandu was a little ashamed and said: "I forgot, your old man is the owner, I am just a shopkeeper, if the owner sees me as unpleasant, he kicks me, I can only live on the street, begging for food." ”

"It's as if I'm rich and unkind. Qin Su laughed, "Actually, I also get the silver on an annual basis, but when I used to do it, I didn't spend much money, and I also had the input to write a script, so I have accumulated a lot of savings over the years." But now that it's almost spent, and the script isn't much written, it's inevitable that it's overstretched. By the way, I didn't use rouge gouache much in the past, after all, I wore a mask every day, and it was useless to use it, but since I didn't wear a mask, I also started to use these, as well as all kinds of head jewelry and clothes, all of which cost money. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and said: "Since ancient times, the deficit in accounts is nothing more than two ways to open source and reduce expenditure, but our Miss Qin is doing the opposite, not writing a script, this is taking the initiative to cut off the way of open source, and not throttling, but also squandering, it is really a business wizard." ”

Qin Su said angrily: "It's not because of you, you are still talking here about the wind and cold." ”

Li Xuandu sighed, "Where do you say cool words, I just feel ashamed, now I am also famous, but I can't even get a little fat powder money." ”

Qin Su didn't follow and said: "What is this, there are many rich people in the world, but there are few who may do something earth-shattering." Besides, I still have some savings, but I really can't do it, so I go to my father to worship and beg for it, but my father can still refuse. ”

"No wonder girls are said to be extroverts. Li Xuandu smiled, "I suddenly remembered an allusion, in ancient times, Di Xin made people carve a pair of ivory chopsticks, and the virtuous ministers advised that ivory chopsticks must not be equipped with pottery, but with bowls made of rhino horn and cups made of white jade, jade bowls must no longer be used to hold wild vegetables and coarse grains, must be delicacies from the mountains and seas, and if you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can't be in a thatched house, you must be in a palace built with gold and jade." Finally, the wine pond meat forest, Lutai is a torch. ”

Qin Su understood and said with a smile: "You are those ivory chopsticks, if it weren't for your pair of chopsticks, I wouldn't have lost money."

Empty, comparable to the treasury of our Great Wei Dynasty. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Do you mean that I am a red face and a trouble? I didn't know that I still had such potential." ”

Qin Su covered his mouth and chuckled, "You said it yourself, not me." ”

While talking, the two have come to the door of Taiping Qianzhuang, and it is a coincidence that next door to Qianzhuang is a rouge shop opened by Cihang Zong, which has already played a signboard, which is said to be the most fashionable color and makeup sample in Dijing. It's expensive though, so there aren't many guests. Qin Su couldn't help but stop, and then simply pulled Li Xuandu into the rouge shop, looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Brother Xuan, which color do you think is better?" ”

Li Xuandu only felt that those colors were similar, and he didn't want to distinguish them carefully, so he said: "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate." So it's best to be plain and face the sky. ”

Qin Su shook his head and said: "It must be different, I heard that Cihangzong has a huge amount of two million taels of silver in rouge gouache alone a year, if it is really as you said, it is best to face the sky, then what are so many women in the world doing with makeup? Cihangzong can't make so much money." ”

Li Xuandu had to look at it carefully for a long time and said, "This color is a little brighter, not very suitable for you." You're good for a little lighter. ”

Qin Su nodded thoughtfully, "That's not bad." ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper in the shop finally spoke: "The two of you don't know, these styles and colors are all from the palace, and some of them are still thought up by the Queen Mother." ”

The smile on Qin Su's face gradually faded, and he subconsciously looked at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu's smile remained unchanged, "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to have such leisure and elegance in addition to dealing with the affairs of the imperial court." ”

The shopkeeper is a woman, although she is a member of the Cihang Sect, but she has lived in Jinling Mansion for a long time, so she naturally doesn't recognize Li Xuandu, and said with a smile: "Whether it's the emperor or the queen mother, you can't correct the recital all day and night, you have to have a time to rest." ”

Qin Su suddenly said: "Forget it, don't buy it, let's go." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, "Why don't you buy it again, the small shops are all high-quality goods." ”

Although Qin Su was wearing a hat, he still kept a straight face, "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, Brother Xuan, let's go." ”

At this moment, several sons and brothers were passing by the door, and the first one had no intention of glancing, and his eyes fell on Qin Su's body, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes couldn't be taken away.

The first son is also like Li Xuandu, in the early spring when it is warm and cold, he cranked the folding fan, and his appearance was also handsome, so he simply walked into the rouge shop, closed the folding fan in his hand, lightly touched the counter, glanced at it and smiled: "This is all new products this year, this is made of silk cotton dipped in red and blue flower juice, called 'Mianyan Branch'." This is processed into small and thin flower pieces, made from the flower juice of Sufang wood, and is called 'Golden Flower Swallow Branch'. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "This son is really an expert." ”

The young man asked, "I don't know how much it costs?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, a box only costs twenty taels of silver." ”

Childe said: "One box for each of the two." ”

The shopkeeper answered and immediately took two boxes.

The young man paid the money, and then pushed the two boxes of rouge in front of Qin Su.
