The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general
Chapter 81: Purchase the necessary items at the Rouge and Powder Shop
Under the guidance of Gu San, Lin Qiuer and her group stepped into the most famous rouge and powder shop in Linzhou City.
The guards consciously stood guard at the door of the shop, while the brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue were not very interested in rouge and powder, so they simply watched the hustle and bustle of people coming and going at the door.
As soon as Lin Qiuer stepped into the store, she seemed to be attracted by the goods in the store. She began to look around with interest, carefully examining each item.
Gu Anqing followed her slowly, his eyes always on her.
This action immediately attracted the attention of other people in the store.
Who is this handsome and extraordinary young man?
Is the lady accompanying him his wife or his younger sister?
They knew the people in Linzhou City very well, but they were very unfamiliar with this young man.
Are you coming from Youzhou Prefecture?
This guess quietly grew in everyone's mind, causing the ladies who were already quite interested in Gu Anqing to look at him even more eagerly.
Gu Anqing seemed to be oblivious to all this. His eyes always followed Lin Qiuer, observing what she was interested in.
Lin Qiuer was completely immersed in the goods in front of her, and was oblivious to the various looks coming from all around her.
She carefully selected a few cosmetics she liked and whispered to the waiter, "Waiter, do you have any samples of the ones I picked?"
The waiter followed Lin Qiuer's line of sight and looked back, and saw Gu Anqing standing behind her.
His face immediately lit up with a warm smile and he said,
"Miss, you have a very good eye. The products you have chosen are all the best-selling products in our store. Of course, there are trial packs! I'll get them for you right away."
As he spoke, he took out a box from under the cabinet, opened it, and took out the trial packs one by one.
"You can try these makeup effects here and see if they suit your taste," the waiter said attentively.
Lin Qiuer noticed that the waiter was looking behind her in a cautious manner, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
She turned her head and looked, and there was no other man in the store except Gu Anqing.
Did the waiter think that she came to buy things and it was Gu Anqing who paid for them?
Although she thought so in her heart, Lin Qiu'er didn't care too much. Since the waiter was willing to take out the trial pack, then there was no problem.
She skillfully opened a few boxes and began to try them on the back of her hand. The eyebrow pencil's coloring effect was indeed good, but it only had one color, which made it look a little monotonous.
So she asked, "Are there other colors of eyebrow pencils?"
This question confused the waiter. He was stunned for a moment and thought: Aren’t eyebrow pencils only available in black? Why would he ask if there are other colors?
"Miss, our shop is the largest rouge and powder shop in Linzhou City. Since we opened, we have only sold black eyebrow pencils." The waiter answered seriously.
Lin Qiuer nodded. It seemed that she could only adjust the colors herself.
She was a little disappointed with the waiter's reply, but didn't say anything.
Gu Anqing frowned, thinking that Linzhou City was too remote, and the things for girls here were still incomplete. When he arrived in the imperial city, he must buy more good things for Miss Qiu'er.
The waiter noticed that Gu Anqing's face didn't look good, and his heart trembled, and he groaned in pain.
He was also wondering, he had never heard that eyebrow pencils come in other colors besides black! What are the other colors used for?
Lin Qiuer continued to try out powder and lip balm. She felt that the lip balm was okay, but the flour was too white.
Except for those who are seriously ill, the skin color of men is almost all yellowish-black.
She looked up and saw the waiter's face was about to cry, she sighed and thought, forget it, she'd better adjust it herself.
The waiter also saw from Lin Qiuer's face that she was not satisfied with their cosmetics, but he did not ask any further questions.
He knew in his heart that the things in Linzhou City were indeed not as good as those in the Imperial City, and this young lady must have seen better things in the Imperial City.
While secretly rejoicing in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that the types of rouge and powder in other places were so much more than those in his own country?
He must tell the shopkeeper to buy more goods in other colors.
From the waiter's answer and expression, Lin Qiuer roughly guessed that although there were many varieties of cosmetics here, the colors were actually very limited, far from the colorful ones she had imagined.
Since the color she wanted was not available here, she would have to go back and mix it herself.
She returned all the selected items to the waiter and said, "These are all I'll take. Calculate the silver."
When Lin Qiuer made her choice, the waiter had already quickly calculated the price in his head.
"Three taels of silver."
Lin Qiu'er was about to take out her purse to pay, but Chang Qing had already taken the lead and handed over the silver in his hand, "The rest is a reward for you."
The waiter immediately smiled happily, and all his previous worries about Lin Qiu'er disliking the lack of colors and Gu Anqing looking at him coldly were swept away.
"Okay, Master and Miss, please come to our shop again next time."
Although Lin Qiuer knew that Gu Anqing should not be short of money, she did not want to always take advantage of him, so she took out a similar amount of silver from her purse and handed it to him.
"Mr. Gu, I have my own money. Don't let Changqing pay the bill every time. If you do this, I won't dare to buy anything in the future. Take it quickly."
However, Gu Anqing seemed not to have heard it, and he turned around and left without even looking at the silver. Before leaving, he glanced at Changqing.
Changqing was startled instantly and ran faster than a rabbit.
Lin Qiuer's hand holding the silver was still stretched in the air when she suddenly realized that the whispers of the ladies around her had clearly reached her ears.
"Oh, is this little girl stupid? That handsome young man paid for her, and she actually paid him back!"
"This is simply trampling on someone's sincerity."
"If it were my daughter, I would definitely give her a good lesson. Such a good man is hard to come by..."
The ladies gathered together and whispered, not paying any attention to Lin Qiuer standing in front of them, and their conversation became more and more excited.
Lin Qiuer turned her head to look at the group of ladies and young ladies. This action seemed to press the pause button, and the whispers came to an abrupt end.
They pretended to look at the rouge and powder on the counter, as if the previous discussion had nothing to do with them.
"People who know how to behave will talk about others behind their backs instead of talking nonsense in front of them." Lin Qiu'er said word by word, and the faces of the ladies present turned red because of her words.
"You are the rude one!" One of the ladies retorted with a red face. She had never been criticized in public like this in her life.
Lin Qiuer said "Oh" in a long voice, full of disdain and ridicule. She smiled, and the ridicule in her eyes was obvious.
Then she turned and left, leaving behind a group of ladies who were blue with anger and maids who were frightened and at a loss.
"Little sister, what did you buy?" Lin Nanyue didn't go in because the smell in the store made his nose feel uncomfortable, so he was even more curious about what his little sister bought.
Lin Qiu'er showed him the things she bought in the store. Lin Nanyue took a look and looked away without interest. "Where are we going next?"
"Let's buy a few more pieces of clothing and then go back. I'll show you what exquisite craftsmanship is." Lin Qiu'er handed the things in her hand to Lin Nanye, then waved to Gu Sanyi, "Next stop is the clothing store, let's go."
Gu San now understood that as long as it was a place Miss Lin wanted to go, he just had to lead the way.
His young master would never refuse, but if he hesitated for a moment, the young master would immediately give him a cold look.
His face was filled with sorrow and sadness.
