The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

There is a big difference in appearance between the people here and the people from the Central Plains. All of them have high nose bridges and big eyes. No matter men, women, young or old, since the ties between Kucha and the Central Plains were cut off, few people can see the people from the Central Plains on the streets of the capital city. .

Not to mention the two Central Plains people like Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Yun who drove through the city in a carriage.

"Mom, why does that person look different from us?"

"Baby, they are not from Kucha, so they naturally look different from us."

"Then who are they?"

"..."

For a while, the appearance of the two aroused the onlookers and discussions among the common people in the city. Some said that the relationship between Qiuci and the big country in the Central Plains was about to break the ice, and some said that the two were relatives and friends of the royal family. There were different opinions.

The two didn't dare to waste time, so they found an inn to rest, and after being introduced by the shopkeeper, they went to the nearest clothes shop, where they bought some local special clothes, and the shopkeeper praised them again and again.

"The two of you are really talented and beautiful. With my clothes, it's perfect, perfect."

Shen Zhaoxue took out the silver and paid the money, and did not forget to ask, "Shopkeeper, can I ask where the largest and most famous rouge shop in Yancheng is?"

"The biggest rouge shop, it must be the Yuxiangfang in the north of the city! Not only is it complete in variety, but it also has supplies for all levels of price, from commoners to nobles. Go there and check it out."

Shen Zhaoxue hurriedly nodded her thanks after hearing this, and walked towards Yuxiangfang together with the general in Western Region costume.

The reputation of Yuxiangfang is indeed not in vain. Standing on the opposite side of the road, you can see people coming and going there. The business is so prosperous that the threshold is almost broken.

Shen Zhaoxue and the general had no choice but to go in with the crowd. The scene and decoration inside made people dumbfounded and unable to speak for a long time.

This place is simply the country of girls and women, and it is a sea and sky feast of beauty. It is not an exaggeration to say that.

After several months as the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, Shen Zhaoxue seemed to have a conditioned reflex for these items. When she saw a new product, she couldn't help but go up to check it out.

Although Sima Yun can't understand these things, and never needs them, but...she seems to like it quite a bit, so let's try to go out with her.

"General, come and see this."

Shen Zhaoxue picked up a small box in her hand, which contained a creamy yellow paste, which smelled like a rose fragrance, she dipped her index finger on it and wanted to wipe it on Sima Yun's face, Sima Yun quickly avoided it, His eyes seemed to be asking, what kind of mess are you going to put on my face.

Shen Zhaoxue had no choice but to explain, "This is good for the skin, and it will keep its fragrance."

Fragrant face?don't want...

Sima Yun thought in his mind, with a refusal expression on his face.

That's right, the general is a man, so why would he be interested in women's products.

It would be nice if the general was a woman, so we could discuss this with her... No, she's thinking about something insane...

Shen Zhaoxue took a peek at the general, and found that he didn't notice anything unusual, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"After shopping, let's get down to business." Sima Yun coughed twice as a reminder.

"En." Shen Zhaoxue nodded, and then it was time to talk to the boss of Yuxiangfang about business cooperation.

After the shopkeeper of Yuxiangfang expressed his intentions, the other party agreed to take the two of them to see the boss, but as for whether the cooperation can be negotiated, everything depends on their own abilities. After all, the shopkeeper revealed that the boss's temper is notoriously cloudy Not sure, and I only like to associate with people I admire. I used to be dissatisfied with seeing an arrogant and domineering lady, and banned her from entering the store to spend... Maybe it is rich and willful.

Shen Zhaoxue wanted to meet the behind-the-scenes boss of Yuxiangfang more and more.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, we went up a flight of stairs and came to the second floor. Unlike the storefront downstairs, this place is completely an elegant residence for rest, and the interior is full of incense, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.The shopkeeper raised his hand to signal, "The boss is behind the screen." Then he hurried down to greet the business.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that there are two people from the Central Plains who want to discuss cooperation with me?" Before the two of Shen Zhaoxue could speak, the people inside took the initiative.

Although she couldn't see the person behind the screen, Shen Zhaoxue bowed politely before replying, "It's very disturbing, but we sincerely want to cooperate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter from behind the screen, "I haven't seen people from the Central Plains in this country for many years, especially the people from the Central Plains who came here to do business at the risk of life and death. The spirit is commendable. Anyway, I think We can all meet and sit down and talk.”

After the words fell, a person walked out from behind the screen, and Shen Zhaoxue's eyes widened. This mysterious boss is also from the Central Plains?No wonder his Central Plains Mandarin doesn't sound like an accent at all.

According to him, when he was young, he followed his parents to the country of Kucha to do business. At that time, the relationship between Kucha and the Central Plains was not as tense as it is now. It was very difficult to do business at first, especially since their family was from the Central Plains. Discriminated and treated differently by the locals.

But fortunately, he has survived those hard times, and now he has become the largest rouge merchant in the entire Kucha country, and he is the only one with all the sales channels in the country under his control.

It is very rare and rare for him to be able to meet people from the Central Plains here. The owner of Yuxiangfang had a good impression of Shen Zhaoxue from the beginning, and later when he heard that her husband was the famous General Sima, he became even more so. Decided to agree to this cooperation.

As for the reason, it turns out that the owner of Yuxiangfang is from Ganzhou. Thirty years ago, Sima Yun’s father, Sima Boyi, was stationed there for many years.

Originally, I thought that it would be very difficult to talk about the cooperation with the eccentric and unpredictable boss that the shopkeeper said. Unexpectedly, seeing is better than seeing.

Immediately hit it off, signed a cooperation.

The boss said that he is very happy to spread the rouge gouache unique to the Western Regions to the Central Plains. It is also a very meaningful thing for him. If it can open up exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains and improve the relationship between the two countries, he will be very pleased Bar.

Sima Yun didn't know anything about this kind of thing, and almost stood on the sidelines during the whole process, but when he saw the moment the cooperation was negotiated, and saw her standing next to him, he felt a little... faintly proud?

Coming out of Yuxiangfang, the sky was clear and cloudless, and I was in a happy mood. I was really hungry. Shen Zhaoxue stroked her stomach, and looked at the general embarrassedly, "Do you want to eat something?"

"Very good." Sima Yun turned his face away, his eyes were full of tenderness, "For the sake of your being so good today, you can eat whatever you want, as a reward."

Shen Zhaoxue blushed silently, raised her head and asked, "Is the general complimenting Zhaoxue?"

"You think so."

"I think it is."

Sima Yun coughed twice to change the subject, "So have you decided what to eat?"

"Hmm...I want to eat, I want to eat the specialties here." Just thinking about it, Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help drooling.
