After dressing as a widow

The shop was so lively that it was unimaginable. Originally, Lin Zhen thought that there were too many ladies and brothers who were called to work in the shop, but Yan Canghai and the others had just entered, and group after group of merchants came in and listened to them. Some of the words in his mouth were from the names of jade powder and other goods in Kyoto, and some were called by good friends.

At least two or three stood in front of a commentator's lady or brother.

Gradually, some people who knew that his shop opened today, and people who had dealt with him before also came in to send congratulatory gifts and look around.

"Boss Lin, good luck, business is booming." This is one of the people who provided rice for him, shopkeeper Ma.

Lin Zhen asked Niu Da to accept the congratulatory gift from Shopkeeper Ma: "Please trouble Mrs. Shopkeeper Ma to make this trip."

"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble at all," shopkeeper Ma knew beforehand that the goods in Lin's Gouache Shop were sold outside, but he was a little surprised to see the grand occasion in the shop.

And with his sharp eyes, he could tell that those people were not ordinary people in the state capital, and they all had some business in their hands. They all stood in front of the counter, nodding their heads from time to time.

There was also a bearded man who actually rubbed a piece of white stuff in his hands, made foam and applied it to his face.

"Good stuff!" the bearded man said in a loud voice, like a thunderbolt, "I can sell this thing for 1 yuan, let alone 2 yuan!"

"Come over, let me try it too!" The other person squeezed the beard that had been washed clean, and took the thing to try himself.

Lin Zhen saw that shopkeeper Ma's wife looked at the soap twice more, beckoned the waiter to come up, and said, "Madam Ma, why don't you go to the second floor to have a look, the rouge gouache from our Lin's gouache shop is very popular in Kyoto, used It’s okay to say yes, you can go to the second floor and let the people in our shop try on your makeup.”

In fact, as soon as Mrs. Ma came in, she found that the ladies and brothers here were very good-looking, but since she was a woman, she didn't want to talk too much.

Now after listening to Lin Zhen's words, he looked at Shopkeeper Ma.

Shopkeeper Ma will bring her here because Lin Zhen is a husband and is more talkative. Lin Zhen has invited her so kindly, so naturally he will not refuse: "Go, we can also bring some when we leave later. , Boss Lin's goods are not bad."

Madam Ma smiled and followed the waiter up the stairs to the second floor.

Ceramic tiles are also laid on the second floor, and the lotus headlights and lanterns on the wall are used on the first floor. There are also waiters shaking ice mirrors in the middle to blow the cool wind into the room.

Moreover, Lin Zhen thought that Fu Lang and his wife would wait for his family here, and it would be inconvenient to go down and mix with those people, so he specially ordered several sets of desks and sofas.

Mrs. Ma felt that she had never seen everything in front of her eyes before. How could the window be so large? Two layers of gauze were held together, blown gently by the wind.

Strange looking, but comfortable-looking chairs with things that don't look like pillows, but look like pillows.

There is also the ground, which is so bright that one cannot bear to step on it.

Chunniang and the others, who had just received two girls, were unavoidably impatient when they heard the bustle below, fearing that Lin Zhen's stall would be ruined. Mom, please sit here."

The two girls had already finished their makeup, and now they were holding the bronze mirror in their hands, stroking their faces in disbelief.

Chun Niang led Madam Ma to sit on the comfortable sofa, and she was not in a hurry to let Madam Ma experience the makeup, but looked at the makeup on Madam Ma's face and said: "Madam Ma used it, it was used by people in Kyoto last year. More watery powder, I have handled some of this before, it is indeed very good, it doesn’t look too white, it’s not like the big show.”

She was still patient, but Mrs. Ma's eyes had already fallen on the two women and brother who had finished their makeup and pulled them to apply their own makeup. They were asking what the prices were and bought several sets at once. .

She said inwardly: "Chun Niang, what kind of goods are there in Lin's gouache shop, show me."

Seeing her like this, Chunniang said directly: "I'll take my wife to try it out. There is a saying that is so good that it is so hypnotic, why don't you see it for yourself."

"Yes, that's the reason." Madam Ma smiled, but couldn't help but look at the two girls who had finished their makeup.

Not only these two girls, but also the people who help with makeup on the second floor, how can their skin be so smooth and translucent, it still looks very natural, unlike the watery powder on my face, which is a little too white , it looks a bit gray instead.

Mrs. Ma was taken by Chunniang to the place where she washed her face. She took apart a piece of thinner soap, soaked it and rubbed it into foam.

Before Chunniang could introduce her, the two women who experienced it first said: "Ma'am, that's soap. Not only does it smell good, it also has a fragrance after washing your face, and your face is still smooth."

Chunniang couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Mrs. Lu is right. This soap contains the unique formula of Lin's Gouache Square, which not only cleans the face very well, but also moisturizes the skin."

"We are using the trial product now. If Madam likes it, you can take the full size back with you. It is slightly thicker than this and bigger. It will last for a long time."

Saying that, Mrs. Ma's face had been washed clean. Mrs. Ma was pleasantly surprised to find that this thing called soap not only had a lot of bubbles, but was also easy to clean, and it was clean after a few rinses.

She couldn't help but said, "I'll take two pieces of this soap home later."

Chun Niang wiped the water off her face carefully with a soft veil, nodded: "I've made a note, and I'll ask someone to wrap it up for Madam later."

Chunniang has long been familiar with the steps of applying makeup, and for today, she practiced diligently at night.

This is the most focused thing she has done so far in her life, and it also makes her the happiest. She even felt the joy of sneaking out with her friends when she was in the boudoir.

Flower dew, jade powder, lipstick, and eyebrows are trimmed into beautiful willow eyebrows.

Chun Niang patted the last thin layer of white jade powder on Mrs. Ma's face, and stepped back: "Madam, take a look."

Madam Ma opened her eyes and looked at herself in the dim bronze mirror. She reached out and touched her face, a little in disbelief.

The woman in the bronze mirror was more than ten years younger, and her whole face seemed to have a good complexion coming from inside, white and lustrous.

"This is really amazing." Mrs. Ma looked left and right, and she was not dissatisfied with any of them. "What kind of jade powder, toilet water, lipstick, give me two copies of all of them."

"And the soap just now, don't leave it behind!"

The first ones to come were those merchants who would not bring the people in the house with them. Slowly, there were more and more guests like Shopkeeper Ma.

They all thought that Lin Zhen was a husband, and it would be better to bring his wife, husband, so the number of guests on the second floor gradually increased.

Like Mrs. Ma and the previous two wives, they were all impressed by everything sold by Lin's Gouache Shop, and the minimum order was two.

And as time went by, the people of the state capital who were attracted by the excitement were added to the crowd.

Lin Zhen glanced at the people on the first and second floors, and said to the waiter behind him, "Tell the people in the backyard to pay attention to the ice, and replace it with new ones when it melts."

"Also, I'll have a look at the cold drink I prepared. It's hot, and it's more comfortable to eat something to cool off."

The waiter in yellow took the matter to heart, and turned to the backyard.

The front was busy, and the back was also busy. After seeing it, many customers bought a lot of things to take away. Jade powder, toilet water, lipstick, soap, soap, cream and other things were continuously taken to the front.

There is also a special place for boiling tea, but just now Lin Zhen ordered someone to make some cold drinks with ice for guests to choose.

Suddenly, Lin Zhenzhen went to the second floor to take a look. The bustling shop fell into silence. He looked back and saw Gu Lin, who was wearing a black robe made of silk and had his hair pulled back with jade hairpins, came in, followed by his official friend Gaotong Jiang Jing. with their wives.

A few of them have been busy up and down recently, and many people in the state capital have seen them riding in and out on horseback, and recognized them at a glance.

"The grass people have met adults."

"The grass people have met adults."

"..."

"Well, don't be too polite," Gu Lin walked up to Lin Zhen and handed him the small box in his hand, "Uncle Lin."

Lin Zhen knew that he was busy with the defense line of the Lizhou border recently, and was happy to see him taking the time to come.

He took the box in his hand and opened it on the spot, only to find that inside was a jade carving that was not of the highest quality, but very spiritual.

He carved a God of Wealth with his feet on a cornucopia and a gold ingot in his hand. No matter how Lin Zhen looked at it, he felt that the God of Wealth was somewhat similar to himself.

Lin Zhen took the little God of Wealth, which was only as big as two fingers, in his hand, glanced at Gu Lin, and personally led him, his official friend Gao Tong, Jiang Jing, and others to the side where the guests were treated: "You are here Sit here for a while."

"Official Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Jiang, there are many wives and husbands gathering there on the second floor. Why don't you go and have a look, so you don't have to stare at them here."

The three wives lived in seclusion, and this was the first time they saw Lin Zhen.

But they have heard Lin Zhen's name several times from their husband, know that he is Zhizhou's uncle, and he still runs a workshop, and now this very wonderful and magnificent shop is also written by him, so they are very curious about him .

Hearing what he said, he glanced at his husband's face and answered yes.

Lin Zhen ordered the waiter behind him to take them up to the second floor.

The three remaining official friends, Gao Tong and Jiang Jing, looked at the shop and looked at Lin Zhen with different eyes.

The three of them actually never thought of coming together, let alone running into Gu Lin, but it was a coincidence that the four of them got together when they reached the door, and there was no place to avoid it.

The people in the shop quietly looked at Gu Lin and Guan Peng and the others, not daring to speak loudly, until after a while, they fell into the commotion again.

The guests came one after another, and slowly, most of them were girls and brothers who had heard the news from acquaintances and came to try on makeup, buy Yurong powder flower dew lipstick, soap and cream.

When night fell, the last customer walked out of the shop with his things contentedly. Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Lin who was still here, and took out the small jade carving from his sleeve: "It's so smooth today, how can I have it?" Share the credit."

Gu Lin, who had been sitting in the reception area all afternoon, knew how prosperous his shop was today and earned a lot of money.

He said: "It is carved according to Uncle Lin's appearance, it looks good."

Lin Zhen was a little skeptical when he first got it, but now that he said it himself, Lin Zhen held the jade carving in front of his eyes, and felt that Gu Lin had a strong filter on him.

He walked back, and took Gu Lin's hand under the cover of Gu Lin's wide sleeves: "The people in our gouache shop will go to the restaurant to eat later, and you will go to the celebration banquet."

In the fleeting handshake, Lin Zhen felt that his body temperature was a little high, which didn't match his solemn expression.

He tucked the little jade carving into his sleeve and heard Gu Lin agree.

"it is good."

The people in the shop were told by Lin Zhen a few days ago that they would get together for dinner tonight. Despite a busy day, the big guys were still full of energy, quickly packed up the things in the shop, cleaned them up, and wiped them down with a rag. Wipe the tiles on half of the wall and the tiles on the floor, and walk out of the shop as you please.

Lin Zhen asked Niu Da to lock the shop door, waved his hand and said, "Take two people to the No. [-] courtyard and the No. [-] courtyard and call them all to Juxianju!"

"There is no fixed amount of food and drinks tonight, when you are full and when you are done!"

"By the way, there is also your wages. I will also ask someone to carry them to Juxianju first. I will eat while paying wages later."

Brothers and daughters feel that this day is so beautiful, Xiaoxi is so bold that he rushes over to hug Lin Zhen, but he just got close to Lin Zhen, his body was pulled by something, and he was dazed. Brainly thought that he encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

Others who were less courageous cheered.
