The world of makeup through time travel

Today's Shaohua Building is not romantic, but it is still overcrowded.

If someone was walking around Beili Lane at this time, they would definitely hear the loud bidding, one next to another, one after another, and the white money kept going up as if it was worthless.

"600 taels!"

"650 taels!"

"700 taels!"

Apart from buying a box of lip balm, all the dandies and confidants were secretly comparing each other, as if if the money was less today, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the imperial city in the future, they were screaming and asking for prices.

Qing Ye, who was watching from upstairs, counted with her fingers, she just felt that she had never made so much money in her life, and the young master can sell so much money for a box of lip balm, it will be amazing in the future!

Li Xiang slightly raised the bead curtain in front of him, looked down, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

This is the advantage of selling the first batch of lip balm by auction. There is no fixed price, and all the people who want to buy are powerful or rich in the imperial city. Everyone is bound to win, and no one will let anyone else. His "fisherman" made a profit.

The standard of living of the common people in the Dayan Dynasty is still good, but it is far worse than the rich and powerful people under the feet of these emperors. Just say that the price of this fat is so high that ordinary people can’t afford it even if they go bankrupt. .

700 taels, in Dayan, equivalent to 42 taels in personal currency.Li Xiang did some calculations, secretly startled, if in modern times, 42 for a lipstick, he would definitely be scolded.

The asking price downstairs is still going on, no one seems to think it's wrong, rare things are expensive, let alone something that even the royal family wants to buy.

Li Wanhuai saw that everyone was scrambling to let go, and he was a little anxious. He was afraid that he would miss his promise to his first wife. He glanced at the butler who was still slowly asking the price, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and shouted: "1000 taels plus one!" A string of gold silk and white jade beads!"

This roar can be said to be full of energy, the voice is loud and clear, and the lingering sound is lingering.

All the dandies and confidantes who competed fiercely were stunned for a moment, and turned to look at this noble and excited Duke.It was only at this time that everyone noticed that Cheng Guogong actually came in person after smiling for the Bomei.Du Dao Chengguo's mansion loves and respects his first wife, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

And it was quiet for a while, and everyone who was dazzled by the fierce competition calmed down a little, and began to reflect. They all felt that they could not continue to bid. The price of the first box was too high, and the next few boxes were even more difficult to buy.

Li Wanhuai saw that the surroundings had quieted down, everyone looked at him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat dryly.

"If you have no objection, I will take the first box of lip balm first."

The confidant of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said: "I don't know that the Duke is here, so please be rude and impolite, please."

In terms of level, Cheng Guogong is the most honorable one after all, and everyone who didn't want to ask for a price complimented him one after another.

Li Wanhuai heaved a sigh of relief, finally, as he said to his first wife, he rushed ahead and snatched it!This feeling of spending a lot of money for his wife is actually so beautiful, he can't wait to see his first wife's surprised smile.

Upstairs, Li Xiang raised his eyebrows lightly, and the wonderful thing came.

The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, was about to give the bank notes and gold silk and white jade beads, but Qiyue suddenly bowed apologetically.

"I'm sorry, my lord, your family has already purchased a box of July Liuying. In order to show justice, no matter how high the bid is, you can't buy it again."

Li Wanhuai's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at the ten boxes of lip balm neatly in front of him with wide eyes, and said, "Isn't this still a good ten boxes? Where is one box missing?"

Qiyue looked surprised, and asked: "Did the Duke not know? Last night, the eldest son took the seven East China Sea Night Pearls that the Holy Master rewarded and exchanged them for a box. Qiyue thinks that the Holy Master's reward is noble and priceless, so you can't ask for a price here." , I gave one box first, and now there are only ten boxes left."

Although the gold, silver and jewels bestowed by the emperor can be disposed of by the recipients themselves, they are indeed not suitable for publicity, and the value of the seven East China Sea Night Pearls is difficult to estimate. Even if the price is called here, they may not be able to keep up, so Everyone has no objection.

What's more, the Duke's Mansion can no longer buy it, and there will be one less person to grab these ten boxes of lip balm, so why not do it.

The others were happy, but Li Wanhuai almost twisted his mouth in anger.

Rebel!Rebel!Will fight against him!He used the reward from the emperor to please his mother, so what about his promise to his first wife? !

Li Wanhuai's complexion changed several times, and he couldn't lose his composure in public, so he gritted his teeth and walked away angrily.

Li Xiangqing was amused upstairs, knowing that the first thing Li Wanhuai would do when he returned home was to look for him, so he left Qingye to watch the situation, and left first.

He took a small path over the backyard wall and went back to his own room in the mansion. He just sat down and took a sip of water and took a breath when he saw Li Wanhuai looking for him angrily, hiding in hiding like a thief.

"Who is father hiding from?" Li Xiang asked with a chuckle, of course he knew that Li Wanhuai was ashamed to see Liu Surong, and was deeply afraid of being seen.

Li Wanhuai didn't answer, but snorted forcefully.

"You rebellious son! Can the emperor's reward be used casually? Or give it to the brothel girl! How decent are you?!"

"I don't need a reward from the emperor, where did my son get the money to buy Qiyue Liuying, and my father never gave it to me." Li Xiang drank tea leisurely, took out the July Liuying in his arms, and deliberately played with it in front of Li Wanhuai.

Li Wanhuai was jealous and impatient, and snorted again, poured himself a cup of tea, sat down and drank it, and then slapped it back on the table.

"Do you know that Liuying's family can only buy one box this July? You bought it now, where can I get this lip balm for your mother!"

Li Xiangqing nodded indifferently, opened the lip balm box and smelled it, and said lightly: "Then I won't give it away. I haven't seen my father care about my mother in these years, and my mother has long been used to it. Not to mention the priceless lip balm now, it is In the past, even snacks such as candied nuts were not available, and my mother never cared."

Li Wanhuai was taken aback when he heard the words, felt a little guilty, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your mother is the wife of the Duke, those servants dare to treat the mistress like this, how brave they are!"

Li Xiang smiled lightly, and closed the lipstick box with a "snap".

"Who is in charge of the government and who is instigated by the servants, how could father not understand?"

The son-in-law said so, Li Wanhuai didn't understand why, so his face became darker.He is indeed not very clear about these things in the backyard, but he can still see Tao's attitude towards his wife and son. Diet is really too immoral!

Li Wanhuai was angry with Dow, and also angry with himself.No matter how rampant Dow was, he tolerated it, and it was his attitude to ignore his first wife. Who can be blamed?

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Li Xiangqing thought it was boring, so he handed Qiyue Liuying to him.

Li Wanhuai was stunned for a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally they became one: I didn't expect my son-in-law to be so considerate, afraid that the father would miss the opportunity and not be able to buy it, so I spared no expense to buy it back for him early?

He was a little moved, feeling that he had really treated his son-in-law badly in the past.

"Qing'er is sensible. Your father will give this balm to your mother. Your mother will be happy."

Li Xiang glanced at him lightly, and thought to himself: A pig with a head full of love and talk!

"The reason why your son is willing to use the emperor's reward to quickly buy back the lip balm is not for you to use it to coax your mother."

Li Wanhuai was taken aback for another moment, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "You rebellious son, who do you want to give to your mother if you don't give it to your mother?!"

"Father is confused. Two days ago, Princess Zhenrou came to ask for Liuying in July. We only gave used ones. Now Liuying in July is on sale. The princess is honorable. She will not send someone to buy it from Hualou. Our family bought it. , can you use it yourself first with peace of mind?"

When the son-in-law said this, Li Wanhuai felt that the box of lip balm in his hand was worth a thousand dollars, and he was terrified to think about it.

Princess Zhenrou has clearly stated that she wants Liuying in July, and she came to the Duke's mansion to ask for it, how can she turn a blind eye?Children may not understand anything, but the emperor knows it clearly.

No matter what the value of this box of lip balm, it should be given to Princess Zhenrou first. As for whether the princess wants to use it or not, it is none of their business.

"Qing'er's words are very true. For my father, I immediately sent someone to the library to get the Xiangyun Lizhu brocade box, pack it up and send it to the palace." Li Wanhuai thought of doing it, so he stood up quickly to prepare, and suddenly frowned again. Li Xiangqing asked: "This fat is given away, what can your mother do?"

Li Xiangqing also stood up and said: "Mother is still useful for the time being, but it is inevitable that father will give some other compensation to comfort mother."

Li Wanhuai nodded in agreement, the lip balm was to be sent to the palace, and the empathetic wife would understand, so he only needed to use other methods to compensate the wife, and she could buy it when Liu Ying came out in July.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so Li Wanhuai arranged it excitedly.

Li Xiangqing stood at the door and looked at the direction Li Wanhuai was leaving, and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.He made a plan for this compensation, as for what the compensation is, it will be up to Liu Surong.

In order to look more natural, she did not hesitate to use Princess Zhenrou. If she got into this trouble and failed to achieve her goal, it would be too much for the loss.

It's just that Li Xiangqing didn't expect that the goal hadn't been achieved yet, so the trouble came first.

On the second day, the little princess was very happy because she received a gift from Li's mansion, and happily took Eunuch Zhao's hand to Cheng Guogong's mansion, specifying that she wanted to play lightly with Li Xiang.

Li Xiangqing suddenly had a headache.
