Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 189 Provocation

   There are many industries in the General's Mansion. The shop selling fat powder on Wanqing Street is just an inconspicuous one among the many shops. Lin Hao didn't even know that there was such a shop here.

   On this day, she took Baozhu to Wanqing Street to inspect the situation of the shop.

  The shop is not big, like many shops facing the street, it is the pattern of the front shop and the backyard. There is only one shopkeeper and one guy.

   The shopkeeper was a woman in her thirties. When Lin Hao walked in, he was leaning on the counter and fell asleep while the man was cleaning the shelves.

   Baozhu coughed upon seeing this.

The shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes and saw Lin Hao's master and servant's eyes light up: "Do you want to buy rouge gouache, girl? Our store has everything, peach red, orange red, coral red, as long as there are rouge colors on the market, we have them here... …”

   After listening to the shopkeeper's endless introductions, Lin Hao was secretly surprised.

   The shopkeeper can say so, how can it be so cluttered?

   "Then let's take a look."

   The shopkeeper was busy bringing a bunch of bottles and jars for people to try.

  Lin Hao picked up a box of rouge and picked it up with his little finger to take a closer look. The powder was not bad, but it wasn't good either, and there was a bigger powder shop right across from this shop, and people came in and out from time to time.

   "How much is this box of rouge?"

  Lin Hao asked the price to buy it, and went straight to the opposite side after going out the door.

  Unsurprisingly, the goods on the opposite side are numerous and complete. In addition to various rouge, there are also flower dew, fragrant pancreas, fragrant balls...all the things that girls need to be bought at one time. Ask about the price again, the same rouge as your own shop is the same price.

After walking out of the store, before Lin Hao could speak, Baozhu sighed: "No wonder our store is not doing well, we don't have any advantage. Girl, you see, even the name of our store can't be compared with others, it's called ' Hua Xiangrong', our family is called 'Lin Kee Fragrance Shop', if the maid would also go to Hua Xiangrong."

   Lost from the signboard!

  Lin Hao raised his eyes and glanced at the sign hanging in his shop, and smiled lightly: "The key is to have good things."

   A pretty woman has a pair of eyes for things like flower dew, and can distinguish a little advantage. Good things don’t have to worry about selling.

   "Girl, when will our store open?" Seeing the people coming and going on the street, Baozhu was eager to try, "We don't come here in Wanqing Street, but I didn't expect it to be quite lively."

"We have to explore the steps of steaming flower dew, order utensils, and buy flowers... There are so many things to do, and they won't bloom in a while." Lin Haoyi thought about what he was going to do next, but he felt Solid and solid.

  Baozhu suddenly pointed out: "Girl, look, there are a lot of people around there."

  Lin Hao also saw the lively crowd in front of the restaurant.

   "Go and have a look."

   The two master and servant walked over with their feet raised, and just before they got close, they heard two people talking.

   "It's unreasonable, the small country of small pills, went to Da Zhou to be arrogant!"

   "That's right, there are countless talented people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the capital is even more talented from all over the world. Are you afraid that the Yuliu people will not succeed?"

  Someone just came over and asked curiously, "Two brothers, what happened?"

One person was so excited that his face flushed, and he pointed at the teahouse and said angrily: "There are several Yuliu people drinking tea, and they keep saying that our great Zhou talents can't beat their Yuliu people. Just a few scholars are drinking tea, listening to After saying this, I couldn't help but reason with them and compared them."

   "Did you win?" asked the newcomer.

   Another sighed: "Losing."

   The newcomer was anxious: "How can you lose?"

   The person who spoke earlier was even more angry: "It's not that Yuliu people are too cunning! Those scholars are just ordinary students, and three of them are said to be young talents of Yuliu first-class first-class, how can this compare!"

   "Then, let the Yuliu people compare?"

   Another person got excited: "Then how can it be, just now a few talented people from our side entered, it's a new scholar from last year."

   The newcomer breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay."

  It doesn’t matter if you are watching the fun, but when you face the Yuliu people, Da Zhou must not lose!

  Lin Hao listened silently and got a general idea.

  The literati are indifferent to each other, not to mention the transnational literati.

   Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd: "Someone came out!"

   Several young men in cyan straight robes walked out quickly, some raised their sleeves to cover their faces, some were flushed, and ran away while watching the whereabouts of countless eyes.

  The people watching the fun looked at each other.

  This is... a loss?

   This discovery was like a basin of cold water poured on people's heads. When the atmosphere was stagnant, the chatter and laughter from the tea shop became more and more harsh.

"Hahaha, it is said that Dazhou has a profound background, and there are many amazing talents. Now it seems like this, even a small pair can't be right." A young man wearing a jade costume from the tea He walked out of the room, swinging his folding fan and swept over the crowd with a smile.

   Another Yuliu man shook his head and sighed: "It's not as good as being famous, Da Zhou talented person, it's really disappointing."

   The face of the person who was watching the excitement was flushed.

   "Don't go too far!" Several glaring young men walked out of the tea shop.

   The Yuliu man holding the folding fan showed an exaggerated look of horror: "You Da Zhou can't compare with Wen Dou, so you have to beat someone?"

   These words made a few young people with thin skin feel speechless for a while.

  The people watching the lively are not happy.

  In terms of force, it is normal to be a little afraid of the barbaric Qi people, but compared with the Yuliu people, they lose in talent, which makes people unable to think about it.

  Has Da Zhou reduced to this point?

  The silent silence made all the scholars present feel humiliated.

   It's a shame to be thrown into a foreign country, how can you bear it!

   A young man said coldly: "You don't have to be complacent, I heard that you are a famous talent in Yuliu, and the one who just competed with you is just our most ordinary scholar in Dazhou——"

"Ordinary?" The Yuliu man laughed and interrupted the young man, "I just heard you Dazhou people say that those people are your new jinshi last year. Your country has a spring festival every three years, thousands of candidates, and those who are on the list are famous. But on the 11th, these thousands of candidates were recruited from the tens of thousands of candidates who participated in the autumn festival. If the new students are considered ordinary scholars, then your country has too high requirements for scholars."

   As soon as these words came out, the other Yuliu people laughed. The wanton laughter spread far and wide, like an invisible slap, hitting the faces of the Da Zhou people present.

One person strode out of the crowd, stood in front of several jade men, opened the gold-painted folding fan with a brush, and wrote lightly: "Isn't it just that you won a few people against a pair, this is also worth laughing like a pig? You guys? Tell the first couplet, and my friends can match them with their toes."

   When he said what he said in front of him, everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, and when they heard the back, they almost suffocated.

  Co-authored this is bragging for friends and no responsibility!
