Chapter 113: Chaoxu Returns Home?
The poet Li Shangyin apparently did not approve of Chang'e's sacrificing this life for immortality. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ximen Qing also thinks that such a lonely and lonely immortality is actually the torture and destruction of life. Rather than this, it is more meaningful to love and experience the persistence when the world is full of joy and sorrow, and to experience the time of gathering and dispersing......
After the story was told, Ximen Qing saw Mingyue and Mingyin were tears like spring drops and crying like rain, as if they had become two little tearful people.
Smiled helplessly, Ximenqing leaned over and whispered to the two, "Don't cry." You see you're about to enter the city. If you two continue to cry, wouldn't it be nice to be seen by passers-by?"
In fact, the implicit meaning of Ximenqing's sentence is, 'If you two cry again, the rouge gouache on your face will melt~'. Don't say it, his words are really valid. After hearing this, the two girls stopped crying.
Mingyue also took out a small bronze mirror the size of her palm from her arms, held it in front of her, and carefully sorted out her makeup......
From ancient times to the present, cosmetics are classified in the category of high consumption, especially in ancient times, not every girl can use rouge gouache (talking about ordinary women, not counting in the green building~). Mingyue is just a small palace maid in the palace, and she naturally doesn't earn a few taels of silver every month, and the "Jade Girl Peach Blossom Pollen" she uses now is still bought with all her savings when she left the palace last month......
Mingyue shone twice, and just wanted to take back the bronze mirror, but was snatched away by Mingyin next to him.
"Oops, you give me back the bronze mirror~"
"Let me take a picture and return your ...... after taking it"
"No! if you want to do it, you can use your own!"
"I didn't bring mine, otherwise who would rarely use your bronze mirror......"
"If you don't use it rarely, then return it to me quickly......"
Ximen Qing watched the two women laughing and playing on the side, and did not make fun of the two, but touched his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.
Well, yes, yes! It seems that I have found another way to make money.
In fact, gouache in ancient times is very different from the cosmetics of later generations, and it is very simple to make. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Duan Qiaoxiao, a palace man, mixed rice flour and Hu flour with sunflower seed juice to synthesize "purple powder".
In the Tang Dynasty, fine corn was used to make "butterfly powder".
The "Jade Girl Peach Blossom Pollen" in the Song Dynasty was made of gypsum, talc, mussel powder, wax grease, shell musk deer and motherwort and other materials.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was used to refine the "pearl powder" from white jasmine kernels, and to make the "hosta powder" in the shape of hosta flowers and Hehu powder.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were "pearl powder" made from pearl processing, and "stone powder" made by grinding fine stones such as talc.
If I put the gouache of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Song Dynasty and sell it now, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money! The more Ximen Qing thought about it, the happier he became, and at this time, his eyes were full of "¥¥" symbols. ($$ is a dollar sign, so Ah Fei is useless)
......
Not long after returning to the palace, Ximen Qing had just sat down in the front hall to drink tea, when he heard someone knocking on the door of the palace, and it turned out that the third quarter of the first day of the sea had arrived.
At this time, Mingyue and Mingyin were not here, and Ximenqing did not trouble them, but went to open the door himself.
Seeing Sima Bai in a white satin brocade robe in front of the door, Ximenqing raised his eyebrows and teased: "Yo! Which little handsome guy is this?
How does it feel a bit like the tone of the old bustard in the green building? Ximen Qing thought evilly.
Although he didn't know what 'handsome guy' meant, looking at Ximenqing's playful eyes and listening to his ruffian tone, Sima Bai concluded that it must not be a good word.
"I'm not wrong to go, I don't know? Did you change the name of the mansion?
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then raised his neck to look at the plaque on his head, which was the two big characters of 'Chaofu'. He asked uncertainly, "When did you change your surname to 'Chao'?"
"You ......"
Sima Baideng was so angry by Ximenqing's words that his phoenix eyes widened, his face was red with choking, and he was in a bad mood immediately. He 'you' for a long time, but his breath was not smooth, and he couldn't say a complete rebuttal.
"Hahaha! I haven't seen you for more than a month, Brother Simon really hasn't diminished, and his words are still so sharp, it seems that my master will always suffer your losses in the future!"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Xu, who was dressed in a purple brocade robe, stepped forward from behind Sima Bai, with his signature sunny smile on his face.
Ximenqing was taken aback when he saw Zhao Xu: "Why did you leave the palace?" After saying this, Ximenqing actually remembered 'Izugong' with bad taste......
Out of Gong is commonly known as going to the toilet, but it has been called so since the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were "out of Gong" and "Into Jing" cards in the imperial examination room to prevent scholars from leaving their seats without permission. Scholars are required to receive this card before entering the toilet.
However, in the Song Dynasty, I didn't mean this. The original meaning is to go beyond the convention, to go beyond the range, to be different, to go beyond the ordinary.
"What? can't I leave the palace?" Zhao Xu didn't notice that Ximenqing's face was different, he unfolded the carved dragon golden fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I rarely have the interest to come out for a walk." What? Do you have an opinion?"
"No! How can I have an opinion? Yes, I agree to the extreme!" Ximen Qing waved his hand again and again, and beckoned Zhao Xu and Sima Bai to enter the mansion.
When Sima Bai passed by Ximenqing's side, he still had a cold face, he snorted and walked quickly to the front.
"Hello, God of Wealth! We meet again!"
The sudden delicate words attracted Ximenqing's attention, but behind Zhao Xu and the others, there was a petite girl in a light blue dress.
Ximen Qing thought that this girl was the palace maid who followed Zhao Xu out of the palace, but he didn't pay attention to it at first. But when I heard her call out her nickname, I looked at her carefully: pink makeup, white teeth and red lips, double eyes like cut water, beautiful like a crown of jade, it is really 'demure like a flower shining on water, action is like the wind supporting a willow, the eyebrows and corners of the eyes are delicate, and the voice and smile are gentle'......
"Are you...... Miss Ouyang?" Ximenqing asked uncertainly.
"Well, it's me, I can't imagine that the famous Western God of Wealth can still remember me, the little girl is really honored. ”
Yes, this woman is Ouyang Lanfu who Ximen Qing and Sima Baiye entered the mansion of Shangshu Chufuyan of the Ministry of War a few months ago and rescued them from inside!
"Of course I can't forget you! Please come in!" Ximenqing smiled and asked her to enter the house. But his heart was alive again at this time.
Well, Ouyang Lanfu must have come to find Sima Bai. On this Mid-Autumn Festival and reunion night, she did not accompany her parents and younger brothers at home but came to Sima Bai, it seems that she still does not give up on Sima Bai! Interesting! Interesting~
Fortunately, I didn't call Zhao Xu the emperor in excitement just now, otherwise I wouldn't have scared this little girl to death......
Ouyang Lanfu really didn't know Zhao Xu's true identity, and she was deceived by Zhao Xu's head and waist card, just like Ximen Qing who first entered the palace.
So she only knows that Chaoxu is the youngest head of the forbidden army, and at the same time she is also the apprentice of Sima Bai, whom she loves......
