Three girlfriends traveled through ancient times and killed people
Chapter 77: Home 1
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Xiao Qing left the palace in plain clothes and began his incognito tour. He strolled through the streets and alleys and finally came to the famous Yihong Courtyard.
At this moment, Yihong Courtyard was crowded with people and extremely noisy, like a sea of joy. Various sounds intertwined together to form a unique symphony.
"The dealer has seven points, all kills!" the dealer shouted loudly. Along with this shout, there were sighs from all around.
"Hey, how come I lost again?" A man looked depressed and pale. People around him comforted him, "Brother Li Wen, you haven't had good luck in the past two days!"
"That's right. I have almost lost ten thousand taels of silver in the past two days." Li Wen said, shaking his head helplessly.
When the emperor heard the number "10,000 taels", he immediately became interested. He secretly wondered which dandy boy could be so extravagant and wasteful? So he decided to stay and listen to their conversation and learn about the people's sentiments.
In fact, there is another benefit of coming here, that is, you can hear a lot of new things outside the palace. For example, the young man in front of you named Li Wen actually lost 10,000 taels of silver in just two days. If his family is not rich in business, then it is very likely that some official embezzled and took bribes and exploited the people to get the money.
"If you lose, you lose. My family has plenty of money." Li Wen waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Li Wen, you are so impressive. I heard that your family makes a lot of money selling rice!" someone said enviously.
Indeed, in Wuqi, the price of rice is ridiculously high due to its scarcity.
The man called Li Wen said with a smug look on his face: "Of course, who can compare with me in terms of rice!" Hearing this, Xiao Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It turned out that this man was the young master of the rice shop. No wonder he spoke so arrogantly and domineeringly.
As Xiao Qingze thought about it, he looked around anxiously, trying to find Xu Yahan, but he could not find her. He became more and more worried. Where did this girl go?
"Where is your boss Xu? Why can't we see him anywhere?" Xiao Qingze grabbed a waiter and asked.
"Oh, our boss Xu is busy in the backyard. Who are you? What do you want to do with our boss?" the waiter replied. According to the previous instructions of the boss Xu, if anyone came to see her today, they could just take them to the backyard.
"Well... my last name is Huang, I'm her friend, and I have something urgent to discuss with her." Xiao Qingze hurriedly explained.
"So that's how it is. Please wait a moment, I'll take you there." The waiter said as he led Xiao Qingze towards the backyard.
Along the way, Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What on earth are you, Mr. Xu, busy with?"
"Hey, Boss Xu is putting makeup on the guests!" the waiter answered proudly, "Boss Xu's hands are amazing, she is simply amazing! All the women who have been made up by her become beautiful and charming, like a different person! Yesterday, a fat woman came to try it once, and then went home to show off everywhere. As a result, many people now come here just for Boss Xu's skills. After all, which woman in the world doesn't love beauty? And which woman doesn't want to become more beautiful and keep her husband's heart?"
The waiter led Xiao Qingze through the noisy front hall to the quiet backyard. As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Qingze saw Xu Yahan wearing a white mask, concentrating on dressing up a slightly plump woman.
At this moment, Xu Yahan's eyes are focused and gentle, her technique is skillful and delicate, and every movement is full of beauty and artistry. It seems as if she has transformed into a highly skilled painter, carefully depicting her own work.
It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome, but the woman in front of him who works hard also has a unique charm - her focused expression, smart eyes, and the unique temperament exuded in her gestures are all fascinating. Xiao Qing couldn't help but stare at her in a trance, and secretly sighed in his heart: "A serious woman is really the most beautiful!"
Although Xiao Qingze's harem was filled with beauties, at this moment, looking at this busy and charming figure in front of him, he always felt that the women in the palace were missing something...
Just as Xiao Qingze was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard someone say, "Master Xu, a young man named Huang wants to see you."
"Mr. Huang?" Xu Yahan raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw who it was, her face suddenly became unnatural, and her legs even became weak.
Damn it! Why is he here? Could it be that last time... Thinking of this, Xu Yahan couldn't help but frown. Damn it, could this guy have tasted the sweetness and wanted to continue to pester me? !
"Boss, the guests have been brought here. I will go to the front hall to greet them first." The waiter said respectfully.
"Well, go away!" Xu Yahan responded without raising her head. At the moment, she was concentrating on the work at hand and had no time to care about anything else.
She had to hurry and finish the last bit of work.
Finally, Xu Yahan let out a long sigh, put down the makeup tools in her hand with satisfaction, turned to the slightly plump woman sitting in front of the dressing table and said softly: "Okay, madam, you can see what you look like now."
The woman turned around nervously and stared at herself in the mirror. In an instant, her eyes widened, her face full of unbelievable surprise.
"Oh my God, I'm so beautiful... I never knew I could be so beautiful..." The woman murmured to herself, deeply shocked by the delicate and radiant image in the mirror.
This mirror is not an ordinary item. It was specially made by Xu Yahan. Compared with the blurry bronze mirrors in ancient times, it is completely different. Not only can it reflect people clearly, but also...
"Actually, you have pretty facial features, but you just don't know how to put on makeup. With a little touch-up, you can become very beautiful." She said softly as her eyes slowly swept over the face of the woman in front of her.
That face was originally extremely beautiful, but the radiance was obscured by the bare face. Now, after her guidance and description, it was even more exquisite and moving - eyebrows like distant black, eyes like autumn water, lips without makeup but red, and two faint blushes on the cheeks just set off her shyness and charm.
"Mr. Xu's hands are so skillful." The woman next to him exclaimed, her eyes full of envy. She had originally come with the slightly plump woman to watch the excitement, but after witnessing this magical change, she couldn't help but feel an urge in her heart: I really want Xu Yahan to use her skillful hands to dress me up!
After all, which woman doesn't love beauty? Especially in this deep mansion full of competition and scheming, appearance is very important to them. And this new concubine is undoubtedly the biggest threat - not only is she young and beautiful, and deeply loved by her husband, but she is also very likely to get pregnant and give birth to the eldest son first! In this way, won't she be neglected or even banished to the cold palace in the future?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fists and secretly vowed to find a way to maintain her rightful position as the wife of the first wife...
