[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Emperor Qisheng is a good emperor, at least he is a good emperor in the hearts of many ministers——

He has great ambitions, but is tolerant and kind, and he will not shout and kill easily; he is also very generous in treating meritorious ministers, and will reward them with money or titles according to the situation of the other party; To commit crimes, he will tour the south and north every year when the time comes, to deter local officials; if the courtier's family is in financial difficulties, he can even go to the treasury to borrow money to ease his own predicament.

Who can say that Emperor Qisheng is not a good emperor who is sympathetic to his subjects and loves the people like a son?

But soon, the problem came.

The first item is easy to say, at least the minister doesn't have to worry about the head on his neck being separated from his neck at any time, and no one thinks Qi Shengdi is bad.

However, the above three items have attracted the opposition of many ministers.

Second, because of the generosity of Emperor Qisheng, the titles in the capital are now flooded, and many people who have really made great contributions are not only struggling in the capital, but also losing a lot of convenience;

But their titles were also bestowed by the emperor, so even if they were aggrieved, they had nowhere to say it.

In this regard, as an earl, he has little right to speak in the capital. Lin Ruhai, who is often ignored by others, is very touched!

Third, even if Emperor Qisheng had a good starting point, the preparations for the southern and northern tours every year, as well as the consumption along the way, are astronomical. Every time the southern and northern tours are completed, the treasury can lose nearly half of its inventory ;

However, there was no way around this decision. There were not many water conservancy projects in the Great Xia Dynasty, and any natural disaster would inevitably lead to famine, and famine would cost money to pay back the dead.There are only so many people, why would he be an emperor if too many people died?

Therefore, the only water conservancy that stores water and prevents floods must ensure that there will be no mistakes.

And the third is the culprit behind the current state treasury emptiness.

How can outsiders know if a minister's family is in trouble?

In the beginning, this measure did ease the economic difficulties for many officials in Beijing, and was praised by many officials.But afterward, Shangshu Hubu discovered the biggest problem with this measure——

The money has always been borrowed, but no one has paid it back!

But it’s no wonder those Beijing officials, they would choose to borrow money from the treasury, which means that they are living in poverty and will soon be unable to live on. Even if they borrow money to alleviate the temporary difficulties, what will they do in the future?

The capital is big, and it's not easy to live in.

So I can only continue to borrow, and the repayment is all borrowed but not repaid.

If this is the case, although the national treasury will be hard to bear, it will not be empty.After all, the taxes paid by various places every year, especially the salt tax in the Jiangnan area, are astronomical.

But other people saw the benefits of doing so, and many people whose families were not very difficult began to borrow money from the national treasury.

It's good to borrow money from the treasury, there is no interest, and you don't have to pay it back!

At the end of the development, even Rongguo Mansion, which started from war and was so rich in the mansion, followed suit and borrowed several 10 taels of snowflake silver.

If you don’t borrow it, you can’t help it. If you don’t borrow it, you won’t be able to socialize in the elite circle——

Everyone borrows, if my family doesn't borrow money, won't it be isolated and targeted by other borrowers?

In this world, people are not afraid of moral corruption, but they are afraid of you being independent.

In this way, wouldn't the treasury run out of money?

It was only after the treasury ran out of money that Emperor Qisheng was made to cry for poverty every day by the Minister of the Ministry of Households, that he knew the harm of this measure.

But knowing it is useless.

Still the same sentence, the courtier has no money, how can he pay back the money?Even if Emperor Qisheng knew who was rich, but the minister killed him because he had no money, could Emperor Qisheng still send someone to check?

That's not called checking, that's called copying the house!

How could he do that for no reason?

What's more serious is that if this family borrowed it, the other family would of course also borrow it. If Emperor Qisheng didn't borrow it...

Well, the Minister of the Household Department will cry for being poor, but they won't?Others can borrow money, but they can't?

Emperor Qisheng was very annoyed for a while, and in the end he could only avoid the Hubu Shangshu——

There's no way, it's better to hear one crying poor than a group of people crying!

However, the Minister of the Household Department is known as the court's money bag, and there are endless ways to cry for poverty. Although he is only one person, his combat power can be equal to thousands of troops.

And when he was crying poor, he was not afraid of Emperor Qisheng at all.

Emperor Qisheng: "..."

Emperor Qisheng had no choice but to move the money from his private treasury to the state treasury.

You can only repay the sins you have done yourself!

But no matter how rich he is, Qi Shengdi only has one person. How much money can he have in his private treasury?Moved out more times...

Well, the Minister of Internal Affairs also came to cry to him that he was poor.

Emperor Qisheng: I have no money either!

Emperor Qisheng has long been worried about the predicament that the private treasury is too poor to find a word, but his character is not capable of finding fault with the ministers, and then directly copying the house. With the harem concubines...

Be poor!

Emperor Qisheng felt that he was simply the poorest emperor ever known as Mingjun.

Most places in the country are in good weather, and a small number of natural and man-made disasters are also brought under control in time. The annual tax payment is several hundred or ten million. That's it, he is still so poor!

If he dies in the underworld in the future, he will be ridiculed by other emperors.

Although what Lin Ruhai said was not respectful, Emperor Qisheng didn't care at all, and all his attention was drawn to the word "making money".

Of course, he wouldn't make it so obvious, after all, the majestic and inviolable image of the emperor cannot be broken.

Emperor Qisheng quickly adjusted his mood, and asked Lin Ruhai pretending to be serious: "Bold, do you know what you are talking about? I am a big country in the summer, and the weather is good every year. The country is peaceful and the people are safe. How can there be no money in the treasury?"

Even if you really have no money, you can't say it so bluntly!

Emperor Qisheng's face was burning hot, almost making Lin Ruhai cry.

Emperor Qisheng thought that after he said that, Lin Ruhai must be like Jia Daishan, he would immediately understand what he meant, and then softly "begged" him and "persuaded" him to make money.

Ran goose ...

How many times have Lin Ruhai and Qishengdi met?He has no idea what kind of temper Qishengdi has!

The key point is that Emperor Qisheng is indeed very majestic in Lin Ruhai's daily impression. Even if he occasionally shows a friendly side like ordinary people, it still fits Lin Ruhai's imagination of the emperor.

Emperor Qisheng pretended to be angry just now and pretended to be so resembling that Lin Ruhai, who naturally put on the filter of "Shengshi Mingjun" towards him...

He really thought that Emperor Qisheng didn't need to make money.

Sure enough, both the mother and the lady were lying to him, the majestic ninety-five-year-old, it is impossible for the emperor to be short of money even if he is short of money!

Mother Lin and Jia Shu: "..." Wake up, the emperor is really short of money!

Otherwise, how could it be possible for Jia Shu to make his idea on Emperor Qisheng? How could Lin's mother not object after hearing this idea, and eagerly wanted Lin Ruhai to find out what he said when he met the emperor?

Their faces are not that big!

Moreover, although both Lin Mu and Jia Shu felt that business was nothing, they also cut Lin Ruhai's connection with business——

If a person who enters the court as an official "competes with the people for profit", he will be impeached by the censor very easily, and every impeachment will be accurate.

So Lin Ruhai has always had an idea in his subconscious mind that there is nothing wrong with doing business, but an official like him must never be touched.

Even the ministers can't be touched, how can the head of the minister be touched?

Lin Ruhai just felt that he must have lost his head just now, how dare he mention the matter of doing business to make money again?

Immediately, he picked up the classics and history books used to make up the number, and was about to start explaining the classics and history: "Your Majesty, have you ever asked me to clarify your doubts? If not, I will start to talk..."

"Clap--"

Emperor Qisheng stared and said nothing, but his right hand slapped the table.

Lin Ruhai stopped and looked at Emperor Qisheng: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Emperor Qisheng held his breath: "No!"

But when Lin Ruhai picked up the scriptures and history and continued to explain...

"Clap clap-"

Lin Ruhai: "...Your Majesty?" Can you still recover?

Emperor Qisheng smiled: "What's wrong with Aiqing? Aiqing continue to talk? The previous paragraph was good, I think I can talk about it again."

Lin Ruhai: "...Okay."

"The founding of the country..."

"Clap--"

When Lin Ruhai said something, Emperor Qisheng slapped it on the table. After listening too much, it was easy to have the illusion that "Emperor Qisheng was accompanying Lin Ruhai".

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Emperor Qisheng looked at Lin Ruhai with curious eyes: "What's wrong with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, can you not make any noise when the minister is explaining?"

"No, my palms are itchy." If you didn't pat the table, it would probably be on your shiny forehead.

Isn't it said that Lin Ruhai is very talented?Didn't Lin Ruhai be said to be very smart?Didn't Lin Ruhai be said to be Jia Daishan's son-in-law?Why didn't he learn Jia Daishan's ability to observe words and emotions at all!

Bai has a brain and has ideas for making money, but he can't even understand his hints!

Emperor Qisheng never thought that Lin Ruhai was lying to him, or that the business he said was not profitable. After all, the grave of the last minister who lied to him but was exposed was three feet high.

Hi, so angry!I want to throw the table!

However, he is the emperor, he is a Mingjun, and he cannot lose his temper for no reason!

so tired……

Lin Ruhai couldn't bear being harassed by Emperor Qisheng, but he couldn't lose his temper at Emperor Qisheng, so he could only pretend that he couldn't hear the "crackling" sound of slapping the table.

so tired……

I don't know if Emperor Qisheng's resentment is too great, or Lin Ruhai is finally annoyed and his brain is blown out. Anyway, the final result is that Lin Ruhai suddenly asked Qishengdi again: "Your Majesty, you are so noisy... "

Emperor Qisheng cast a cold look at him, and Lin Ruhai immediately shut up.

Emperor Qisheng: "..."

He thought that Lin Ruhai was going to continue explaining the messy and incomprehensible scriptures and history, but he heard Lin Ruhai say cautiously: "Your Majesty, the business of my minister's family has encountered some troubles, may I ask your Majesty to say something?"

Emperor Qisheng raised his eyelids, not knowing whether what Lin Ruhai said was true or not.

Although most people use similar reasons when they want to donate things to him, Qi Shengdi always feels that Lin Ruhai can't aim at nothing...

How long has it been? It's impossible for Lin Ruhai's brain to suddenly open up, and then directly advance to become an old fox?

Seeing that Emperor Qisheng didn't stop him from speaking, Lin Ruhai understood that he wanted him to continue.He thought for a while, and said: "Zhuo Jing and her two sisters opened a shop, and the business is very good, and they can earn more than two hundred thousand taels of silver a month. But a few days ago, they were suddenly targeted by someone, and here Many people find fault."

Emperor Qisheng was very happy when he heard that there were more than [-] taels of income in one month.

However, upon hearing the latter sentence, Qi Shengdi squinted his eyes: "You mean, someone is eyeing your wife's shop?"

Lin Ruhai himself was an earl, and his wife was the daughter of Duke Rong, and he had heard from Jia Daishan that his other daughters were all married to the top wave of nobles.

How can someone find fault with a shop opened by such a few women with strong backgrounds?Who else can find fault?

Emperor Qisheng was very suspicious of Shanglin Ruhai's clear eyes, did this guy really come to complain?

Lin Ruhai really didn't come to complain.

It's just that he always felt that if he didn't make himself miserable, Emperor Qisheng would never agree to be the backer of Caizhuang Pavilion.

He didn't know that he only said a word, so Emperor Qisheng guessed that the person who found fault with Caizhuang Pavilion was either his concubine, his children, or at worst, his relatives.

Who made Emperor Qisheng think fast, and Lin Ruhai wasn't fast enough?

Seeing Lin Ruhai's ignorance, Emperor Qisheng lost his temper.He thought for a while, although he didn't know what this make-up shop sold, but since the name contained "makeup", the items it sold must be related to women.

Naturally, things related to women are easy to sell.

Think about how much money the women in my harem spend every year. Except for those that are moved to the treasury, half of the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is spent on them.

Sometimes Emperor Qisheng was so poor that he wanted to drive those women home!

Although I don’t know how Lin Ruhai’s wife managed to earn 10,000+ taels of silver a month by relying on the Makeup Pavilion, but I only need to mention the Makeup Pavilion to let people know that standing behind this shop is him, the most noble of the Great Xia Dynasty. People who have a lot of money can solve the troubles of the makeup shop, and at the same time, they can get tens of thousands of taels of silver into the account every month. How can this business be calculated and earned.

Emperor Qisheng stroked his beard, his eyes were bright and hale.

He raised his head, and was about to open his mouth to touch Joe, but he met Lin Ruhai's crystal-clear eyes, and said, "..."

Emperor Qisheng said, "Ahem, let's talk."

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai still didn't understand that Emperor Qisheng had agreed to his request.

"Your Majesty, tell me."

Lin Ruhai, who felt that he had explained to the two women at home after the break today, had amazingly bright eyes.

Emperor Qisheng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't hold back a smile.

That is to say, Lin Ruhai at this age can still have such eyes, and I don't know if he can maintain such eyes after he has experienced a lot in the officialdom in the future.

He shook his head and threw out such thoughts: "My words are worth a word, what price are you willing to pay for asking me to speak?"

Emperor Qisheng understood that when talking to Lin Ruhai, he shouldn't make too many turns.

It is best to hit a straight ball.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, although he felt a little weird, it didn't seem like Emperor Qisheng could say it, but he answered honestly as Lin Mu and Jia Shu taught: "The Caizhuang Pavilion is opened by the lady and her two concubine sisters together. Yes, because the prescriptions are all given by the lady, so she can get six dividends every month. If His Majesty helps, I can promise to give His Majesty two dividends every month."

Qishengdi kept pulling the abacus beads in his heart, and then calculated that as long as he said a word, he could get more than 4 taels of silver every month in the future.

Is there any reason for this money not to be earned?

Emperor Qisheng nodded and said, "First, tell me what the sage means by saying 'Do not do to others what you do not want done to you'."

Lin Ruhai looked blank: "Your Majesty..." What's your answer?

Emperor Qisheng waved his hand, "Speak quickly!"

Ah!It made him scratch his heart and lungs for so long just now, and he is not allowed to come back?

Lin Ruhai: "..."

With small money as motivation, Qi Shengdi's speed is still very fast.

Lin Ruhai just left the upper study room, he immediately swept away the memorial books and other things on the table, leaving a huge space, and then asked the eunuch next to him to bring the rice paper.

With the pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready, Emperor Qisheng, with indescribable excitement and surging, wrote the three characters "Caizhuang Pavilion" with one stroke.

The font is smooth and natural, elegant and agile, and it simply writes the highest level of Emperor Qisheng's life!

"Tsk!" It's all money.

The eunuch next to him looked up, his eyes full of admiration.

He has been with him almost since Emperor Qisheng was still in Qiandi. Emperor Qisheng has a lot of experience in calligraphy, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he naturally has the ability to appreciate calligraphy as well.

It can only be said that Emperor Qisheng was really frightened by the empty private and national treasury.

"Take it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and make a gilded plaque to make it look better." Anyway, it is a shop related to him, and it is the word he personally bestowed. Rounding it up, it is his face.

The chief eunuch immediately collected Qishengdi's calligraphy and ordered the other eunuchs to send it to the House of Internal Affairs.

Because there have been a lot of people making trouble in the Makeup Pavilion recently, Jia Zhi and Jia Gu come to the Makeup Pavilion almost every day.

On this day, the two of them dealt with a scoundrel who came to make trouble, and it was the time when they were exhausted.

Jia Zhi looked at Jia Gu, his eyes were so indifferent that people couldn't see the emotion in it: "Big sister, how is your relationship with your husband lately?"

Jia Gu smiled, "It's still the same."

Just like Jia Zhi had persuaded her before, after the first period of fresh life for the Duke of Zhen Guo, the other concubines also began to use the rouge and gouache in the make-up pavilion.They are better at dressing up than Jia Gu, they can compete for favor, and they can put down their figures, and there is a cousin who is "deep and righteous" next to him who is fanning the flames, and soon the Duke of Zhen's concubine becomes lukewarm towards her.

But even so, Jia Gu's life in Zhenguo Mansion is much better than before.

Especially after the news came out that she was one of the owners of the Makeup Pavilion, not to mention her husband, even the other owners of the Zhen Guo Mansion had a great change in their attitude towards her.

Although it once again proved that what the second sister said was correct, but...

What she and Jia Zhi wanted were different, and that was enough for her.

She didn't want to talk about her life with Jia Zhi anymore, so she changed the subject: "Second sister, third sister really said that these people who come to make trouble can be solved next month?"

Although it is because of this make-up shop that she can have her current life, Jia Gu still doesn't believe that a woman can solve this kind of problem.Not to mention women, even if a man comes, it may not be able to solve it?

Jia Gu's sense is not sharp, but these troublemakers are too abnormal, and she also vaguely sensed that it is not simple behind this matter.

She was a little scared, if it wasn't for the fact that the Makeup Pavilion wasn't her property, Jia Gu might have asked to sell the Makeup Pavilion long ago.

But she also knew that if she really said this, not to mention the third younger sister, even the second younger sister would give her a good beating, and they would never have any contact with her again.

Jia Gu sighed quietly: "Why do these people do it?"

Jia Zhi took a look at Jia Gu, and felt that it seemed like a lifetime away. The eldest sister was not such a person before...

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums downstairs, mixed with a few sharp male voices, and the commotion was so loud that Jia Zhi and Jia Gu couldn't hear what the voice was shouting.

Jia Gu's eyes were terrified: "Will someone come to make trouble again? Didn't you come here today?"

Jia Zhi: "...Big sister, you wait upstairs first, I'll go to the reception room and let Liu Xu see what's going on."

After all, without waiting for Jia Gu, he pushed open the stairs on the other side of the door leading to the reception room and went down.

The reception room is on the first floor, which is specially prepared for the two of them, just to prevent accidents, and they have to come forward to solve the problem of meeting guests.

The reception room is divided into two halves by a screen for ventilation, but people on both sides cannot be seen.

Jia Gu stayed where she was, with her head down, so that people couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

After a long time, she stretched out her hand to touch her stomach: "If it wasn't for you, little guy, I would have gone down with your second aunt as a mother."

Jia Zhicai was helped down the stairs by Huarui, and was about to go out when he heard a voice from the other side of the reception room: "Are you the owner of this shop?"

Jia Zhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, so he heard the voice from the other side of the reception room: "Madam, can you put it in? The servant is a rootless person, and he will not offend Madam."

Jia Zhi hesitated, but did not agree.

The other party seemed to understand her scruples, and said: "The servants are sent here today, not to deceive."

Thinking that no one would dare to pretend to be the emperor's will, and that person's voice was sharp, like an eunuch, so he asked Hua Rui to let him in.

She herself carefully folded a corner of the screen and hid on the other side.

The man came in quickly, saw no one, and asked suspiciously: "Is Madam here?"

Only then did Jia Gu see the face of the future man clearly, and hurried out, with a bit of panic on his face: "But Mr. He who is next to you today?"

Jia Zhi once saw He Wenyi, the eunuch next to Emperor Qisheng, from afar when receiving the order, but it has been too long, and she is not sure if she remembered it wrong.

The visitor nodded with a smile, and answered her question: "But Mr. Xiu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hou Jia?"

Jia Zhi became more and more flustered, she hurriedly turned her head and asked Liu Xu to bring her a purse, and then handed it to He Wenyi: "My concubine's husband's home is the Duke Xiu's residence. I just don't know why Mr. He came here?"

What is the eunuch next to the emperor doing in their small make-up pavilion?

He Wenyi took the purse, shook the weight inside, clapped his hands and laughed, "That's it."

After all, he raised his hand to let a few eunuchs outside the door carry a plaque firmly covered by a red cloth, "The Holy Majesty is very dissatisfied with what happened to the Caizhuang Pavilion recently, and specially asked me to wait here to support you .”

He pointed to the plaque, "If madam is free, how about changing a signboard for the shop?"

Jia Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Master Zhou, why don't you take over the new signboard in the shop?"

He Wenyi squinted his eyes and smiled happily, and waited for someone to take the plaque and started busy changing the plaque, then he said to Jia Zhi: "When Lin Tanhua met with the Holy One today, he mentioned what happened to the Caizhuang Pavilion recently. It is the matter of the inscription of the Holy Majesty on the plaque."

Jia Zhi smiled on his face, and he was really relieved in his heart.

Then He Wenyi continued: "It's just that Lin Tanhua also said that he would give two dividends from the store to the Holy Majesty to thank the Holy Majesty for his help..."

When He Wenyi said this, he stopped meaningfully, his eyes locked firmly on Jia Zhi, trying to see something from her face.

But there was nothing unusual on Jia Zhi's face, he didn't seem to be lost or sad, and of course, he wasn't very happy either.

Jia Zhi ignored the look in He Wenyi's eyes, and went upstairs to get the account book of Caizhuang Pavilion for him.

He Wenyi asked one more question: "But did you keep the end?"

Jia Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, Eunuch He, this account book has been made into five copies, one for each of my three sisters, one copy is placed in the store, and the other is kept as a deposit. After this account book is taken away, it will not cause any damage to the store. Influence."

In just half a day, the news that Caizhuang Pavilion received a plaque with an inscription from His Majesty spread throughout the capital.

Originally, due to the riots of those people some time ago, the business of the Makeup Pavilion dropped by half, but after the news came out, in just half a day, the income of several branches of the Makeup Pavilion exceeded the total amount of the previous month, and even There are super.

Because there are too many people who want to buy, many rouge gouaches are out of stock.

This is great, the ladies who just got the news came here excitedly, and returned disappointed, they really wanted to go back a month ago and slap that idiot who was blinded by lard and insisted on listening to Princess Seven Awake!

It means that the people behind this man's make-up pavilion are so powerful that ordinary dignitaries dare not come to the door to tease a tiger's beard?

Look, even the princess was slapped in the face by the emperor himself when she wanted to do something to Caizhuang Your Excellency!

However, these ladies couldn't help sighing that the emperor really favored Jia Daishan. An ordinary shop was targeted by the princess, and the emperor could express his anger for him.

A few days ago, I just found out that my two concubine daughters had set up a make-up shop, and Jia Daishan, who wanted to get a foot in it after inquiring about his monthly income, said: "..." I am not, I have nothing, I have nothing. Know!

The emperor of spicy chicken, steal my business!

As soon as Qishengdi's show operation came out, not to mention Jia Daishan who only knew about Caizhuang Pavilion, even the Seventh Princess who had already started to target Caizhuang Pavilion, and someone who was hiding behind her and wanted to be a mantis-catching oriole The prince's face was ashen.

The seventh princess thought that her treasury had been exhausted during this period of time, so she couldn't restrain her temper, and broke countless porcelains in her side hall.

When the news reached Emperor Qisheng, he just raised his eyes and glanced at He Wenyi: "Register the porcelain broken by her eldest son, and ask her to return the silver in full."

snort!Eating him and using his, but it turned out to be beneficial and even thought about eating alone!

The business was robbed and the porcelain was thrown!

I don't know if his old father is so poor that he almost can't get rid of it?One by one, all don't worry!

And the sales of the make-up pavilion are still going on.

Not to mention the customers who bought the rouge and gouache from the Makeup Pavilion before and thought it was easy to use, but they didn’t dare to come because there were too many troublemakers; it was the customers who always thought that the things in the Makeup Pavilion were expensive and not worth the money. They also came to the door one after another, wanting to buy a box of rouge gouache that the current emperor has heard of and highly praised.

Of course, it's not that no one can't help but feel sour outside the store when they see the business of the makeup shop is booming and they are too poor to afford the things inside.

But they were all turned back by the loyal customers of the Makeup Pavilion.

——A group of vulgar people who only know how to go with the flow, listening to the wind is rain, when did the emperor praise the makeup pavilion?

Are you stupid?Although the emperor didn't publicly praise the makeup pavilion, he gave the makeup pavilion an inscription and a plaque!

If the emperor thinks that his family's things are not good, will he write an inscription for the Makeup Pavilion?Will you give them a plaque?

——How could the emperor, a big man, think that women's things are easy to use?Isn't that weird?

Tsk tsk, big brother, you are too pitiful, you haven't married a wife yet?You look like a chicken at first glance.

Who said that this rouge and gouache can only be bought by women, but not men?Is it okay to buy it back and give it to your wife or daughter?Seeing my daughter-in-law dressed up beautifully, I feel happy when I see it!

There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and all of them are great beauties.But there are so many beauties, in order to stand out, they have to dress up every day to please the emperor?Doesn't the emperor know who looks good and who doesn't?

……

In short, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for other stores to surpass the make-up shop in business.

And the effect of this is also very significant, not to mention that after this time, no rascal dared to come to find fault, and even those customers who had lost for no reason came back as if nothing had happened.

I didn't say anything when I came back, maybe it was to express my apology, maybe it was because when they didn't come to the makeup shop, there were indeed many new things in the store...

Anyway, the final result is that these noble ladies came empty-handed, and when they left, not only the servants behind them carried big bags and small bags, but even the maids around them carried a lot of rouge and gouache.

There are also things that really like the makeup shop, but were blocked by the elders or husbands in the family before, and people who have nowhere to buy them kindly passed them the words.

"Mrs. Marquis of Jinyang, it is unlikely that those of us who have status will be coerced by others, let alone this person is threatening and luring me, just to prevent me from buying rouge and powder in the make-up shop. But the other party Honorable status is far from something that people like us can offend."

"Second Grandma Hou, be careful yourself, the people who are going to deal with you behind the scenes are members of the royal family."

"Mrs. Jinyang Hou, how did you offend the Seventh Princess? I don't think the Seventh Princess is easy to get along with. You must be careful in the future."

"Mrs. Jinyang Hou..."

"Grandma Hou..."

All these pieces of information were gathered together, and the final conclusion was that the person who had tried everything possible to target the Makeup Pavilion and wanted to destroy the Makeup Pavilion was the Seventh Princess.

The reason, however, was not that she wanted the Makeup Pavilion—Jia Shu didn't believe there was no such reason, but because of the royal dignity, no one dared to say it out—but that the Makeup Pavilion had offended the Seventh Princess at some point.

After Jia Shu heard the news, he was a little confused: "Who is the Seventh Princess?"

Jia Zhi didn't know either.

Jia Gu went back to Duke Xiu's mansion early and was not at Lin's house at this time.

The prince of the royal family has always been more famous than the princess, even if he is not very popular, has a big flaw in character, and easily offends others, there are very few people in the capital who do not know.But the title of the princess' deeds is rarely known.

Although Jia Gu was not there, Jia Shu felt that with her cowardly personality, if she really had a conflict with the Seventh Princess, she would immediately get up and apologize to others, and it was impossible to offend people enough to destroy her shop the point.

Jia Zhi quickly left.

Thinking that Lin's mother had lived in the capital for so many years, there would naturally be her news channel, Jia Shu just hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask Lin's mother this question.

It's just that after hearing her question, Lin's mother didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, her eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look into her eyes.

Jia Shu: "...???"

"Count, you should ask Ru Hai about this matter, he should know better than me."

Jia Shu: "..." Emotional entanglements?

Mother Lin also seemed to feel a little sorry for Jia Shu, so she turned sideways quickly: "Shu'er, I'm going to rest, when Ru Haisan comes back, tell him that you don't have to come to greet me."

Jia Shu: "..."

Why is Mother Lin's attitude so strange, she can't help but wonder, what's the matter between the Seventh Princess and Lin Ruhai?

Jia Shu was a little dazed. With Lin Ruhai's innocent temperament that blushed at every turn, could there be a pure first love before her?Just the kind of love letter that you can't even meet face to face and can only communicate with each other through letters?

Yaoshou, I'm afraid she wants to beat Lin Ruhai to death!

However, when Lin Ruhai came back from the break and found out that Lin's mother had already fallen asleep, and there was no need for him to go to pay his respects, it was already two hours later.

When he returned to the yard with Jia Shu, she had already ordered dinner and was sitting at the table waiting for him.

It was still dark at this time, and the setting sun shot into the door, casting a layer of warm golden light on Jia Shu's body, which made people's hearts flutter.

Lin Ruhai walked forward in three steps and two steps: "Ruosang, are you waiting for your husband?"

As he spoke, he walked to the seat next to Jia Shu and sat down.

Thinking of how boldly he invited the emperor to be the backer of Caizhuang Pavilion today, unexpectedly, the invitation was successful.Lin Ruhai felt a surge of pride in his chest, always feeling that he had done a great thing for his wife.

Because he was so excited, Lin Ruhai didn't realize that Jia Shu's attitude was wrong, and kept talking about the details of meeting with Emperor Qisheng today.

During the conversation, there is no lack of contentment.

Obviously, he uncharacteristically told Jia Shu what he was doing outside, just to get a compliment from his wife.

Of course, it would be nice if you could kiss and hug.

Last night because of the makeup pavilion, he was so preoccupied that he didn't even sleep well.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Shu expectantly, but at this moment, he realized that her face was full of smiles.

It seemed to be the same as usual, but Lin Ruhai just felt that she was not smiling, and that she looked tight.

He got up hastily, and took three steps back in a row: "Lady, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Shu smiled: "It's nothing."

Lin Ruhai: "..." Suddenly remembered that the lady had smiled and said nothing to him before, and then he experienced a terrible experience of burning desire but not being able to relieve it.

Lin Ruhai stared, and took another big step back.The movement was eager, just like a rabbit bouncing backwards and retreating a hair when encountering an enemy attack.

Jia Shu almost didn't laugh outright, but luckily she held back.

"Ahem," Jia Shu looked at him pretending to be serious, "Speaking of which, who is the Seventh Princess? What's your relationship? Why did she target the Makeup Pavilion?"

With this series of questions, he almost asked Lin Ruhai directly, "Have you ever dated the seventh princess?"

However, Lin Ruhai never followed the routine...

Hearing this, he thought about it seriously, and then looked at Jia Shu with a blank face: "Seventh Princess? Who is it?"
