Chapter 11 Rouge Gouache
After eating lunch, Shen Rou picked up her bag and said, "Grandma, I'm going out."
"be careful."
"Do not worry!"
"Xiao Nan, big brother is gone, you better listen to grandma."
"Brother, please come back soon. Xiaonan will miss you."
"Okay, I'll bring you some delicious food from the street when I come back."
Shen Nan clapped his hands happily.
She first went to a shop selling rouge and powder to inquire about the prices. When she heard that the prices ranged from three to six taels, she immediately regretted not bringing enough from the county.
When I bought rouge and lip balm from the county, I felt so heartbroken. Now I think I should have bought more and could have made a lot of money.
After inquiring about the prices, I walked towards the brothel. Passing by a medicine shop, I remembered that there were mountains in the suburbs when I came here. I could pick herbs and make money in the morning, and go to the brothel in the afternoon to inquire about the news of my sister Hua.
"Hello, boss..."
"Sir, are you here for a consultation or to get some medicine?"
"I don't see patients or prescribe medicine, but I'd like to ask if you accept medicinal herbs?"
"Sir, what medicinal herbs do you have?"
"I'm going to the mountains to pick herbs and sell them to your pharmacy. Do you want any?"
"If you collect precious and rare medicinal herbs, we will definitely want them."
"You can write me the herbs you need and I'll collect them and send them to you."
"it is good."
The shopkeeper quickly wrote down more than a dozen medicinal herbs, such as: Amomum villosum, Coptis chinensis, Baise flower, Ganoderma lucidum, Deer antler... etc.
"Boss, please draw a picture so that I can identify it more easily."
"Alright."
The shopkeeper wrote and drew at the same time, and in two cups of tea, he had filled up a booklet.
"Young Master, if you can collect the herbs here, they will definitely be very expensive."
Shen Rou looked at it and responded, "Okay, I'll go to the mountains outside the city to pick them tomorrow morning. I hope my luck won't be too bad."
"Young Master, all the herbs that should be collected on Pingshan Mountain in the suburbs have been collected. You should go to Quanshan Mountain in the direction of Shan County to collect herbs. The Quanshan Mountain range is connected, and only in the deep mountains and old forests can you find such rare herbs."
"Is Quanshan far from here?"
"It's not far. Just walk about ten miles out of Qiu County and you'll arrive."
"it is good."
She muttered, "In ancient times, people could only travel by foot or by carriage. It would take more than half an hour to walk a dozen miles. I have to get up early tomorrow.
Just as Shen Rou was about to leave, a stern man walked into the pharmacy with steady steps.
He stood tall and straight, his face resolute, his eyes revealing a chilling coldness. The sword at his waist swayed slightly with his movements, emitting an invisible pressure.
When Mr. Xu, the shopkeeper of the drugstore, saw the man coming in, he showed a look of surprise on his face.
He hurried forward and said, "Guard Han, why are you here? What does the boss want?"
Guard Han looked at Shopkeeper Xu expressionlessly and said coldly, "The master has ordered you to send someone to find wild Coptis chinensis. The sooner the better. The master needs it urgently."
Shopkeeper Xu's heart tightened when he heard this. Wild Coptis chinensis is a very precious medicinal herb that grows on steep cliffs and is very difficult to find.
Shopkeeper Xu nodded quickly, "Guard Han, I'll send someone to look for him right away."
"Manager Xu, if you find it, send someone to inform me and I will bring people to look for it."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what does wild Coptis chinensis look like? I'm just out collecting herbs. Could you draw me a picture? It would be great if I could come across it."
"If you can get it, it will be very expensive."
"How much silver is one plant?"
"Three or four hundred taels, for sure."
Shen Rou thought that if she had three or four hundred taels plus the more than two hundred taels she had on her, she wouldn't have to worry about money for the time being.
After drawing the picture, Shopkeeper Xu instructed, "Sir, this wild Coptis chinensis usually grows on steep cliffs. If you see it, pull it up by the roots."
"I see."
She picked up her bag and came to the door of the first brothel called Xiaoxiangyuan.
Several girls, dressed up beautifully and charmingly, stood at the door to welcome guests. When they saw Shen Rou coming, they greeted her with smiles.
"This young man is so handsome. What kind of girl do you like? I will help you find her."
Shen Rou got goosebumps all over her body when she heard their coquettish words, and she quickly avoided them pulling her.
"No, no, no, young lady, I'm here to sell rouge and powder. My rouge guarantees smooth and delicate skin, which men will fall in love with and women will envy."
The girl gently shook her handkerchief and said, "Oh my, the young master speaks so beautifully. I must see it."
"Miss, let's go inside and take a look. I have lip balm and eyebrow ink in my bag. They are definitely cheaper than those in the shops on the street. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
"Show it to me. If you're not satisfied, I won't let you leave."
"Miss, you're such a joke. I don't know how to do anything except sell rouge and powder."
The girl winked at Shen Rou, and any man who saw it would definitely be fascinated by it, but Shen Rou was a girl, and he was not attracted to her, but instead felt that he could not resist her.
"Slave, I just like to know nothing."
When a girl speaks, the man's bones go soft.
There were several tables of guests bustling in the hall. The girls were bright and beautiful. When they saw someone coming to the brothel to sell rouge and powder, it was the first time they had encountered such a thing, so they all gathered around.
"Look, ladies! This rouge makes your face flawless and white. And the lip balm comes in two vibrant colors, each one a vibrant, vibrant sight."
"How much is a box of rouge?"
"A box of three ounces and five hundred coins, with a tube of eyebrow-drawing ink."
"This girl's rouge is much cheaper than the ones in the store. I want a box."
"I want one too."
"Thank you, young lady. How did you know I was a woman? You have a very good eye."
"We see countless people every day, and we can tell whether they are men or women at a glance."
"The young lady is extremely intelligent."
Another girl came over and said, "It's much cheaper than on the street and it comes with eyebrow ink. I want a box too."
Later, another girl asked for three boxes, and a few other girls bought lip balm. In a short while, Shen Rou sold six boxes of rouge and five boxes of lip balm.
While she was selling things, she kept searching for the people and geographical locations in the brothel, but she couldn't find any trace of her sister after looking for a long time.
"Miss, are there any other girls who haven't come yet?"
"Our courtesan is still in the room."
"Can I go to her room?"
"Yes, it's in the innermost room on the second floor."
"Thank you, Miss."
"You have such a sweet mouth."
"It's because the young lady is beautiful."
The girls laughed out loud because of Shen Rou's teasing, and their mother standing beside them couldn't help laughing out loud. In order to flatter her, Shen Rou even gave her mother a box of lip balm.
"Mom, if you touch my lip balm, you will definitely be gorgeous."
"This girl has a really pleasing mouth."
"I am telling the truth."
Shen Rou picked up her bag and went upstairs. She looked around for her sister and saw an old woman.
"Auntie, where is the toilet here? I need to use it."
"In the backyard on the first floor."
"Thank you, aunt."
Shen Rou went to the backyard on the first floor. There were not many people there. She searched all the places where people could hide, but there was no sign of her sister.
I walked around the second floor again and searched all the places I should look for, but there was still no sign of Xiaoxue.
She would come back at night to confirm again. If her sister was not there, she would go to another house tomorrow.
Seeing someone selling candy figurines on the street, she bought two and took them home. Seeing her elder sister coming back, Shen Nan excitedly said, "Sister, you're back."
"The man of our family, you called him the wrong one again, it's Big Brother."
"I'll definitely remember next time, brother. This candy man looks delicious."
"Little greedy cat."
Shen Rou gave one string to her brother and another to her grandmother. "Grandma, try it and see if it's sweet."
"This girl is such a waste! I'm not a child, why should I eat this? If grandma doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it!"
Grandma blamed me, but she couldn't hide the happy smile on her face.
"Grandma, I don't like sweet food, so I bought it especially for you and your brother to try."
"We'll share it."
"Alright."
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren ate the candy man and felt sweet to the heart.
"Xiao Rou, is the rouge sold?"
"Grandma, I earned thirteen taels of silver today, so don't worry about the money. From now on, you will be the richest old lady in our village, wearing gold and silver, and served by servants. This is standard."
When grandma heard that Shen Rou earned thirteen taels of silver in one day, her eyes suddenly lit up and she was shocked.
"Xiao Rou, the money you earn in one day is equal to our family's annual income. It's incredible."
Grandma's voice trembled and she could hardly believe her ears.
Shen Rou smiled and nodded, with pride shining in her eyes.
"My good granddaughter is so capable, I'll add more dishes tonight."
"I took after my grandma."
Grandma was dizzy from being hit by Shen Rou's horse.
"Xiao Rou, has she seen the little snowman figure?"
"No, I'll go over and confirm it later. I'll change to another brothel tomorrow."
"Be careful."
"Grandma, I know."
At night, when her grandmother and brother were asleep, Shen Rou climbed over the wall in the backyard and searched the Xiaoxiang Courtyard inside and out, but found no trace of her sister.
