Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Eight

Erf, Ulanalarixi, and Wuyahehe have been in the Yonghe Palace, and they have had lunch with Concubine De Niangniang, and then they got up to leave, this morning's time, it is really not long, it is not short, anyway, Erfu feels that she is physically and mentally exhausted, just thinking about what to talk about, what to say is enough to make her rack her brains.

But it's no wonder that she is so physically and mentally exhausted, she is already a rough and reckless flyer, and now she has to force her to do this kind of test of emotional intelligence, test of eloquence, It is really better to throw a hoe to her, and let her follow the farmer who eats by the sky to do some rough work, which may also make her feel more relaxed, in fact, when every daughter-in-law gets along with her mother-in-law, she will be more or less nervous, this is not only Erfu alone has such a feeling, not to mention that in this feudal social system where the imperial power is greater than the sky, a little carelessness will not only get the eyes of the mother-in-law, but also be charged with unfilial piety and disobedience, and it is no wonder that Erfu is such a grinning person who is so careful when getting along with Concubine De。

Fortunately, the palace rules are strict, even if Concubine De is the master of the first palace and has the right to cooperate with the six palaces, it is impossible to keep the three daughters in the palace overnight, at most, they will sit in the palace for most of the day, otherwise I really don't know if Erfu's tense nerves can survive such a high-pressure environment......

But even if she only stayed in Yonghe Palace for half a day, she was still physically and mentally exhausted, so she went out of the Shenwu Gate, and the head that had been raised high drooped down, and her straight waist collapsed, and the whole person showed a kind of frustration with a wilted head and a drooping head, with the help of Shilan, stepping on the rosewood footstool depicting the golden silk pattern, and climbing into the carriage with the last strength, before she could take off the heavy cloak wrapped around her body, the whole person collapsed on the soft and fragrant seat as if she had been pulled off the bones, and gasped heavily。

"Master, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Shilan stepped forward lightly, carefully took off the heavy cloak she was wearing for Erfu, wrung the wet veil, and carefully wiped her hands for Erfu, and then picked up the copper-tired teapot on the small red clay stove, poured a cup of warm tea for Erfu, and called softly.

When Erfu heard this, he looked at the tea bowl with white smoke slightly, shook his head and said: "Let's put it first, this way from Yonghe Palace to Shenwu Gate, I am really a little out of breath, and I don't know why those foreign women like to enter the palace so much to ask for ......."

She didn't dare to say that she was tired from talking to Concubine De, so she could only explain her embarrassment as being too tired to walk.

However, Shilan is the closest palace maid by Erfu's side, how could she not know Erfu's character, she did not expose Erfu's can't help but deduce the lie, and smiled and talked to Erfu who closed her eyes and recuperated, and at the same time she did not forget to look at Xi'er and Li'er who were waiting next to her, and arranged some work for the two little palace maids.

It's rare to follow the master out of a trip, and Xi'er and Li'er, who want to brush up on their sense of existence, immediately stepped forward, half-knelt beside Erfu's legs, and gently kneaded Erfu's legs to relieve the discomfort on Erfu's legs.

In this way, there was about a stick of incense, and Erfu raised his hand so that the two of them did not have to beat their legs.

Erfu, who had eased up a little, sat up straight, motioned to Shilan to hand the cup of tea that had been a little cold to herself, took a sip, and said softly: "Don't rush back to the house, let the coachman drive the car to the side, let the car of Fang Fujin and Wu Yagege go first, let's go to Dashilar first, I have something to discuss with the big shopkeeper of Xuancai Fang." ”

The big shopkeeper of Xuancai Fang, Mrs. Bai Jiao, is also an old acquaintance of Shilan.

Shilan suddenly heard Erfu mention that she was going to the Dazzling Workshop, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Master, why did you suddenly remember to go to the Dazzling Workshop today, could it be that something happened to the Dazzling Workshop?"

"Concubine De Niangniang didn't know who mentioned that Xuancai Fang had a new peach blossom powder, it is said that it is white as jade, delicate as frost, and the makeup is complete, not easy to fall off, she wants to try it, but this peach blossom powder happens to be not within the scope of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she asked me to go over and take a look, if there is one, I will buy two more boxes, and bring it in when I rush Ming'er into the palace to ask for peace, this kind of thing, it is not good to pass through other people's hands, I happened to be idle, so I went over to take a look. Erfu smiled, took a sip of herbal tea, and softly explained the reason why she went to the dazzling shop to Shilan clearly.

After speaking, she shook her head as if she was a little puzzled, beckoned to Shilan, and motioned for Shilan to come up.

Shilan didn't know why, but she didn't dare to hesitate, she hurriedly stepped forward and heard Delph ask in a low voice: "You have always been in charge of the contact between the mansion and Bai Jiao, have you ever heard of any new peach blossom pollen from Xuancai Fang, why have I never heard of this matter?"

Yes, even if Erfu has changed her name and surname now, but the dazzling color workshop is still Erfu's industry, Bai Jiao is still Bai Jiao, every time there is a new product on the market in the dazzling color workshop, Bai Jiao always has to let people send some into the house, but the peach blossom powder that sells in the capital for more than a month in the mouth of Concubine De Niangniang, Erfu has never even heard of it, otherwise she would not have been able to wait until Concubine De Niangniang personally opened her mouth to ask for it, and arranged for someone to send it to the palace for Concubine De to enjoy, and it was because of these doubts that Erfu would choose to go to the dazzling color workshop in person.

Not only had Erf never heard of this peach blossom pollen, but Shilan also didn't know about it, which made Erfu even more confused.

However, this kind of doubt did not bother Erfu for long, when her carriage stopped at the door of the main store of Xuancaifang, she also understood what was going on, just opposite Xuancaifang, a shop with the layout of Xuancaifang was almost the same, and there was a blue and white porcelain signboard with ice cracks hanging brightly, and the three big words on the signboard made Erfu have a ridiculous feeling that Li Kui met Li Ghost.

Yu Cai Fang, a signboard and name that is nearly 80% similar, is also a hollow carved door inlaid with glass, and the inside is also a glass counter with several inlaid copper mirror candlesticks on one side, a piece of finely carved hairpin jewelry placed in the middle, one side is also a whole wall of mercury mirror, in front of the counter painted with powder paint cloud pattern, inside is a delicate enamel color powder box, the only difference with the Xuancai Fang is a very down-to-earth red paper pasted at the door, on which the words big peach blossom powder are written.

This is the legendary copycat pirate!

"Shilan, don't follow me in, take the silver and go shopping on the other side, and buy a copy of the rouge gouache they have in the store, I want to see what this Caifang is!" Since the investment in the opening of the dazzling color workshop has finally instilled the concept of limited edition products into the hearts of the ladies of this era, this cottage of the color shop ran out to dig the foot of the wall, how can Erfu not be angry, she did not let the accompanying guards smash the shop in the past, it is already her personal cultivation is good enough, but she still does not have a good impression of this color shop, when it comes to talking, it is naturally not polite.

Shilan was busy, and gave up the errand of helping Erfu into the store to Li'er who followed behind, and turned her head to walk towards Yucaifang.

Erfu's car stopped at the door of the dazzling color fang, and Bai Jiao, who entertained distinguished guests on the second floor, had already received the news, she was busy handing over the work in her hands to the other maids to be responsible, and greeted the door with a smile.

It is the Chrysostom imperial decree of Emperor Kangxi not to compete with the people, so although the eunuchs and magnates are everyone who has an industry outside, but they have their own spokespersons, no one dares to play the signboard of the gold lord behind it, but there are no one in Beijing who does not know that the owner of this dazzling color workshop is Prince Yong, and it is all about the people who advertise for the dazzling color workshop, all of them are the ladies in the palace, because of this, no one has dared to come to the trouble of the dazzling workshop over the years, let alone such a bright digging of the wall.

Of course, when she was outside, Bai Jiao would not deliberately show the close relationship between herself and Erfu, so at this time, Erfu also raised her hand as usual with a cold face, stepped into the store like an ordinary guest, and greeted Bai Jiao with a smile: "Get up, talk inside." ”

After entering the store, Erfu and Bai Jiao walked straight to the stairs on one side and went directly to the second floor.

At the end of the second floor, there is a private room with a non-no-enter sign, which is a private room for Erf's use, and no one will dare to lead guests to this room even when the store is not lined up.

First, the owner of this room is Erfu, the proprietor, and his status is transcendent.

The second is that the furnishings in this room are too vulgar, and they are all pink.

Although there is not a single female guy up and down who doesn't like the sweet smell of pink, no one likes such a room full of pink, and no one wants to admit that the owner behind this famous dazzling shop is such a vulgar master.

This is no exaggeration, in this private room, the light gauze drape hanging down to the layers is pink, the cushions down to the embroidery pier are pink, and even the layer of tulle that covers the bronze mirror of the dressing table is also pink, in addition, there are countless pink cushions, pillows and other things, this room full of pink is like the red of the new house, but it is difficult for anyone with normal preferences to like such a room, but Erfu is the biggest alternative among them.

It's not that she doesn't know that this kind of overly pink arrangement is a bit lo, it's just that she has a little princess in her heart who hasn't grown up yet, but this is also because this private room is her private territory, otherwise she wouldn't dare to face her heart and arrange the room like this.

Standing at the door of the locked private room, Bai Jiao restrained the light smile on her face and took a deep breath.

Even if it wasn't the first time she came to this private room, she had to admit that the pink in this room was so charming, but every time she thought of walking into such a room, she always had a feeling that she didn't know where to start complaining, but even so, when she really pushed open the door that was tightly locked with copper locks, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, because the color in this room was so pink.

"Sit down. Erfu really likes this feeling of being surrounded by pink, she is relaxed and deep in the pink pillows and pillows, her face casually points to the soft pillow on her side, beckoning Bai Jiao, who is still standing at the door, to come in and speak, and at the same time I don't know where to find a brocade quilt inlaid with ruffles and put it on her lap, this private room is heated by a dragon, but it is always empty, and when you suddenly come in, you will still feel a little cold.

When Bai Jiao heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then she threw off the sheepskin boots she was wearing on her feet, wearing only a pair of pale white cloth socks, and walked to Erfu's side, learning from Erfu's appearance, and directly paralyzed the whole person in the soft pillow.

"Who opened that house across the street?" Erph asked with a smile as she took a sip of the hot tea she had given her.

"The owner on the bright side is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a merry scholar named Hou Jingren, the owner behind is very hidden, I asked someone to ask a few old patrons around the maidservant to ask, and it is not an outsider, the side of your house Fujin Wulana Laruixi, it took half a year to repair the shop before, and it only opened for two months, you also saw it, the style of the store opposite is very similar to the style of our dazzling shop, but the price of all goods is cheaper.

But you don't have to care too much, this newly opened shop is to rob a lot of our dazzling shop business, but the greedy two percent of the cheap guests are mostly rich but not expensive merchant women, these guests love to do the most is to take advantage, in order to order a gift can be careful, without them, but it is more of the high grade of our shop, leaving more concerned about the decent official lady, this is not the embodiment of the high-end atmosphere you often say!" Speaking of the opposite Yancaifang, Bai Jiao's face showed a bit of mockery, and he joked with a disdainful smile in his eyes.

"You said that the proprietor of the shop across the street is Ulana Larui Creek, that's interesting!" Erph sighed in some surprise as she looked up from the window and looked at the façade of the shop across the street.

I have to say that she never thought that the people who dig the corners of her own walls would be the rivals in her own house who are eager to peel her skin and cramp and drink blood and eat meat, but she is not surprised, because she believes that with the fourth master, the king of cold noodles, even the most daring and reckless people will not dare to come to imitate Xuancai Fang to make copycats.

However, when she thought of Wulanala Ruixi robbing a man with herself in the house, and robbing business with herself outside, she couldn't say the awkwardness in her heart, and she also felt that Wulanala Ruixi was a good girl, and she didn't want to compete for favor when she entered the house, but she was very good to the Honghui brother left by the Wulanala clan in the first Fujin, and she was not bad at all compared to her own mother, and felt that Wulanala Ruixi was a gentle and quiet personality, if she wanted to win over someone to be her own alliance, then Wulanala Ruixi was the first choice, but now she has a great change in her opinion of Wulanala Ruixi。
