Chapter 17 There are different types of flowers and different types of people.
Beijing Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall, Beijing Princess is wearing a pomegranate red palace dress, half leaning on the soft body, her body is graceful and exquisite, her delicate jade face has not seen the invasion of time, she is bright and beautiful, maybe she is tired. Yawning from time to time.
"Keqing, what are you hitting?" Princess Beijing was quite bored. She looked at the rose red dress on her lower left hand, and the beautiful Qin Keqing was doing her stitches seriously, and couldn't help asking.
Qin Keqing's expression was startled when he heard this, his cheeks gradually became drunk, his charming eyes flickered, he pursed his lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty said he was short of a sweat towel, so he asked me to help him tie one."
Hearing this, Princess Beijing frowned and said, "You have homework every day. You have been busy all day, and I still need you to help me put on the sweat towel. This monkey doesn't know how to feel sorry for people."
The daughter's family is basically busy at home, so Qin Keqing has a daily quota for acupuncture and knitting, and spinning and mortar. Who would have thought that Qin Keqing has just finished her homework, and she has to wear a water-soluble sweat towel. Looking at it carefully, she really feels a little distressed. As a human being, even if you are a well-behaved and sensible person, you still have to say a few words, and you have to do all the superficial work.
Qin Keqing heard this and explained: "Your Majesty asked me to fight at my leisure. There is no set time. It doesn't matter if it is later."
Concubine Beijing was suddenly surprised when she heard this and smiled knowingly. The palace of Nuo Da still lacks a sweat towel?I'm afraid that the drunkard is not interested in drinking. His "son" has enlightened and knows how to coax his daughter into the house. This is a great comfort to his mother! ! ! Thinking of this, Princess Beijing raised her lips and said teasingly: "One of you is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, I can't care less!!!"
Qin Keqing's cheeks were hot when she heard Princess Beijing's joking words. What does it mean to be willing to suffer? She didn't obey the prince's orders, so how could she not comply? Besides, the prince cared about her and always warmed her hands! ! ! Princess Beijing raised her eyes to look at Qin Keqing, who had lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. She had an almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks, and eyes like shooting stars. She was naturally charming and charming, and her graceful demeanor made people's hearts flutter when they saw her. Which man would not be moved by this sight?It's strange that my son is so caring.
Having said that, if you have such a lovely person, you will never forget your mother! ! ! !
As soon as she had this worry in her heart, Princess Beijing quickly rejected it. "My son" has always been respectful and polite, and he would never be so heartless. Besides, Keqing has been in the government for a while, and Shui Rong has never done anything out of the ordinary. She obviously respects her. If she is like a greedy cat, then she will have to think about it.
At this time, Nanny Rong walked in and said, "Toffee, the wife of the Zhen family is here."
Concubine Beijing frowned slightly when she heard this. The wife of the Zhen family visited again, probably for the purpose of getting married. However, the emperor had already planned to grant a marriage, and there was an old concubine in the palace. The Zhen family should have received the news early, so how could they still do it? A house visit? "Please come up!!!" Regardless of the reason for the Zhen family's visit, since you have come to the door, why don't you show up as a courtesy?
Aunt Rong responded and stepped back to invite someone. Qin Keqing stood up and saluted: "Treasure, I'm going back to the house first."
Since a visitor is here, it is not advisable for you to stay for a long time. It is better to leave as soon as possible.
Concubine Beijing gently nodded her head and looked at Qin Keqing's leaving figure with a look of satisfaction on her face. Keqing did things steadily, which satisfied her, but her family background was a little different. "Candy man, candy man..."
"Take a look, take a look, the sweet and sour candied haws..."
Shenjing Xicheng Market, at the feet of the emperor, in a peaceful world, there are teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, and workshops on both sides of the street. There are also many small vendors with oil-paper umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, okay? lively.
"Master, if we don't go back to the palace, what are we doing here?" Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't go back to the palace, but took him to the market. If he came back late, he might be punished, so Xiao Fuzi reminded him carefully.
Shui Rong looked at the things in the capital with great interest, not caring about the time. Shui Rong was quite satisfied with this trip to the brothel. The only shortcoming was that Shui Rong was so heroic and spent hundreds of taels of silver. In addition to inviting the sister The expenses of the brothel, including the drinks and fruits, are extraordinary, and the expenses are far beyond the reach of ordinary people, which does not disgrace the title of "gold-selling cave".
Although it cost a lot, Shui Rong didn't care about the money. For the palace, these few hundred taels were not needed. He just felt that he had been tricked by his mother, and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't care about it. It was just for drinking and laughing. Do this business.
However, that little girl is indeed long-sleeved and good at dancing. She is plump and graceful, like a rose swaying in the wind. She is so beautiful and attractive. In the face of such a charming person, as long as she does not cross Shuirou's red line, Shuirou will not take anything wrong from her. This is her privilege. I believe she herself understands that when walking among the powerful, she must exercise appropriate measures so as not to annoy others.
"Wander around and buy some rouge and gouache."
When men buy rouge and gouache, they naturally want to please Fuzi was stunned when he heard this. He thought Shui Rong had some plans. He originally wanted to buy rouge gouache.
"Just send someone to take care of this matter. Where can I go to buy it myself? Let's go back to the palace first, otherwise the concubine will be impatient!!!"
He had been out for a long time, so it was better to return home as soon as possible. If the concubine blamed him, the first person to be unlucky would be his little Fuzi. Moreover, because Shui Rong visited a brothel and ate flower wine, Xiao Fuzi was even more frightened.
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "What's the hurry? I'll go back to the palace after I finish buying it."
To please a girl, it is natural to do it yourself. What does a person with no roots like Xiao Fuzi know? It is useless to explain to him. Of course, if you are sincere, you can also learn from Jia Baoyu and make it yourself, but it is quite troublesome and far less convenient than buying it. .
Xiao Fuzi looked bitter when he heard this. His master had spoken and he could only obey.
After a while, Shui Rong arrived at the entrance of Ruyifang. The rouge gouache here is very famous in the capital.
Stepping into Ruyi Square, there were several girls in the shop at this time. When they noticed Shui Rong entering the store, everyone looked sideways. When they saw a handsome young man, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and he whispered to the people accompanying him. stand up.
Shui Rong is accustomed to this, and her good looks naturally attract attention, just like when a beautiful woman passes by on the street, she will take a look.
"Master, what do you want?" The woman in front of the counter came over coquettishly and asked with a smile.
"Just take a look." Shui Rong turned a blind eye, it's not like he has never seen the world.
The woman was naturally not embarrassed when she was greeted. The men came to the rouge shop to buy rouge for the girl. She was curious, for such a handsome young man, which girl was so lucky?
Shui Xiong naturally ignored the woman and looked at the shop. Ruyifang was a rouge shop, with rouge, lipstick, blush, and the like. Not only that, but also hairpins and hair accessories and other daughter's jewelry.
Walking into the inner room, Shui Rong stood in front of a red lacquer counter, looking at the rouge and gouache in categories, and picked up a box of finely crafted lipstick boxes.
Seeing this, the woman stepped forward and introduced her thoughtfully: "Sir, this is rose fragrance. It is collected from the best rose petals. Use a clean stone mortar to slowly pound the petals into a thick paste, filter it with fine gauze to extract the juice, and then Cut the newly reeled silk into the size of the mouth of a rouge vat, soak it in flower juice, take it out and dry it in the sun after it is completely soaked, and it will become a good lip balm."
Those who do business are naturally self-proclaimed, and they don't care about women's flattery. However, in ancient times, lipstick was mostly made from flower petals, which is not harmful to the daughter's skin and has the fragrance of petals.
Shui Rong brought the lipstick box to his nose, and a hint of sweet fragrance rushed into his nose. It was sweet and pleasant. It was strange that Jia Baoyu liked to eat it. He wanted to taste this sweet fragrance.
"Wrap it up!!!" Shui Rong thought it smelled really good, so he just wrapped it up without asking about the price. The rose scent was just right for Princess Beijing. After all, Shui Rong planned to give gifts to Ke Qing and Ying Luo. The Concubine Beijing is inevitably unbalanced and her widowed mother is sensitive, so she needs to be coaxed.
The woman took it with a smile on her face. Businessmen like this kind of generous customers the most.
It was immediately dissolved in water and carefully selected. There are different types of flowers and different people. The still charming Princess Beijing, the charming Qin Keqing, and the charming Yingluo were naturally treated differently and carefully selected.
After a cup of tea, I wrapped the selected rouge and gouache, and without waiting for the water to dissolve, I took the grinning little Fuzi towards the palace. (End of this chapter)
