"A Li's hair is always tied with that bamboo, how many hairpins should I give him?"

The introduction nods: "Good idea"

However, Shen Yue didn't know anything about these decorative accessories, and after being away for many years, he didn't know what styles Xun He liked. Although Xun He probably didn't mind, it was still good to give them away, so Shen Yue asked Yinzhang, "You also go ?”

Yin Zhang: "That will have to wait a while." Yin Zhang didn't go out with Shen Yue until all the buddies were arranged.

The silver lion followed Xun He and ran away, and Qiu Mansion is located in the suburbs, so you must ride a horse when you go to the downtown area, luckily there are two jade horses in the stable.Guided by the guide, they arrived at Tanyue Street in half a quarter of an hour.

There are many people in the downtown area, and the two lead the horses on foot.

"In the past, I thought, 'Tan Yue', it sounds like a name." Shen Yue said casually.

Yin Zhang smiled: "Master Shen did not guess wrong, it is the name of the person. The shops on Tanyue Street are famous for selling cosmetics and hairpins, and among these shops, Tan Yuege is the most famous."

Shen Yue was not very interested in this, but at least he invited Zhang to accompany him for a while, so he accompanied him and asked: "Is Tan Yue Street named after the owner of Tan Yue Pavilion?"

"That's right. The story about Tan Yue is very long. Has Master Shen heard of Master Tan Luan?"

Shen Yue responded casually: "I know. Back then Taifu Wu suppressed my mentor Li Xiang, and Tan Luan spoke for his mentor in the court hall. After Wu Dang came to power, Tan Luanguo was retaliated against and deposed as a commoner."

The introduction sighed: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Master Li is Master Shen's mentor. To tell you the truth, the shop we will go to later is Tan Yuege. This Tan Yue was originally a famous prostitute named 'Xiaolu'. Mr. Zhong Tan, the next day, Miss Xiaolu announced that she would not marry unless Mr. Tan."

Shen Yue questioned: "The first meeting to give up? Hehe, the words in the street are always exaggerated."

Yinzhang argued: "No, it is said that Miss Xiaolu was unwell that day, and the benefactors present were dissatisfied, and deliberately made things difficult for her. It was Mr. Tan who relieved Miss Xiaolu of the siege. But Mr. Tan was deeply troubled, and he asked Ms. Xiaolu to reprimand him face to face. The story should have ended, but later Mr. Tan was imprisoned, and Ms. Xiaolu took out the money to redeem herself, cooking every day and sending it to the prison. Master Tan was very repulsive at first. After he was released from prison, Master Tan was demoted to a commoner, and his legs were crippled due to torture in prison, but Miss Xiaolu still accompanied him, and finally moved Master Tan."

"However, the Tan family is a family of poems and books. How could Tan's father and Tan's mother accept a prostitute as a daughter-in-law. Even when Miss Xiaolu was in despair, this time Master Tan dared to do it and resolutely married Miss Xiaolu. So far, Miss Xiaolu changed her name. , following Mr. Tan's surname, it is Tan Yue. Mr. Tan was originally a man with great political ambitions. Now that his legs are disabled and he has to rely on others to take care of him, he is naturally very unwilling. Fortunately, Tan Yue still has some savings. Opened a shop to sell self-made cosmetics to support the family. Master Tan couldn't bear to let his wife bear all the burden, so he shamelessly contacted old friends and sold the cosmetics to noble women."

Passing by a shop during the period, Shen Yue glanced in, and the clerk in the shop greeted him: "My lord, come in and choose some makeup for your wife?"

lady?

Shen Yue immediately remembered that in the past few days, he was indiscriminate and took care of Xun He, and he used to disdain this kind of life, but if it was him, he didn't seem to mind letting it go.

Shen Yue is also strange, why is it always him who is the first person to think about getting married?

How do men and men get married?

But as for the introduction, it was the speaker who didn't intend to listen to it, and the introduction blushed, and spat at the shop assistant: "Bah! Who is Madam! Tell you to talk nonsense!" Turning around, he asked Shen Yue, "Where are you talking?" gone?"

Shen Yue answered casually: "Tan Yue sells cosmetics to nobles."

"Oh yes, Tan Yue's ingredients and recipes are excellent, and she gradually became famous, and her reputation spread into the palace. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered Tan Yuege to supply the powder and hairpins in the palace. Mrs. Tan and his wife became imperial merchants. Daxing, where Tan Yuege is located The street was also renamed Tanyue Street from the government office. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long, Master Tan passed away in the third year, Tan Yue managed the business in grief, and has not remarried so far.” Speaking of this, Yin Zhang sighed and said, “Speak Really, I really admire Tan Yue, daring to love and hate, few women... No, even men are rarely so bold. But thinking about it the other way around, that's right, not everyone is as lucky as Tan Yue Just the ones worth paying for."

"Yes." Although he only responded with one word, Shen Yue no longer had the casual tone before, and asked again: "Why are you so clear about these things?"

Yin Zhang smiled: "But after staying in the capital for a few more years, I have heard more."

When speaking, the two looked at the same plaque.With black sandalwood as the base, a circle of filigree borders around it, the three characters "Tan Yuege" are gilded, and the sun shines brightly. Finally, it has reached the Tan Yuege mentioned in the introduction.

Entering, the counter glass is clear and clean, the stars are shining on the shelf, the agarwood is faint in the nose, and the zither is ringing in the ears.In such a huge shop, only Xiaoer and Xiaoer are in the depths of the shop, making calculations.

Hearing the commotion, Xiaoer stopped fiddling, walked to the counter where Shen Yue Yinzhang stopped, and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to see hairpins? Do you have any designs in mind?"

"What are the men's ones?" While talking about the introduction, he picked one, pointed to the object and asked Shen Yue: "Do you think this one is okay?"

Shen Yue looked over, and what the introduction pointed to was a white jade carved auspicious cloud jade hairpin.The jade color is milky white and translucent, and it is indeed a fine product. Shen Yue has seen Xun He comb his hair in the past few days. His hair is not very thick, but it is smooth and soft, like black lacquer. With the soft jade color, it complements each other perfectly.

After all, she is a member of Tan Yue Pavilion, so Xiaoer did not speculate on the relationship between the two guests, but only introduced: "Young lady has a good eye, this cabinet is all men's style. This one is made for Nanyang jade."

The introduction is puzzled: "Nanyang jade?"

Xiaoer smiled and said: "There are four famous jades in China: Hetian, Lantian, Xiuyan, and Nanyang. The latter two are rare in modern times, but in ancient times, they were all well-known good jades. My son and daughter, I have heard of Heshibi. story?"

Yinzhang nodded and asked: "I heard, what's the matter?"

"This Heshi Bi is Nanyang Jade. There is a saying in the "Book of Songs": "When you think of a gentleman, warm it like jade..."

Shen Yue didn't listen to the rest of the words, and only remembered the next two sentences, which were 'in the wooden house, messing with my heart'...

Thinking about it, Shen Yue saw a golden hairpin from the side, with a majestic dignity, and asked, "What about this one?"

Xiaoer stopped talking, and then introduced: "This one is 'Peach Bat Spiral Golden Hairpin with Emerald Emerald Emeralds', with lotus-colored gemstones as peaches and emerald gemstones as bat wings. The body of the hairpin has a spiral design. It means a lot of money and is suitable for people in the business world to wear."

Shen Yue nodded, "Okay." In a blink of an eye, he caught sight of another one, "What about this one?"

……

Shen Yue asked about all the styles that caught his eye, there were about a dozen of them, and even the introduction chapter couldn't resist going to the opposite cabinet to look at the hairpins, but Xiaoer still answered patiently, he was really well-trained.

After Shen Yue finished asking, seeing Yinzhang lying on the counter staring at a golden hibiscus hairpin, he asked, "Do you like this?"

Yinzhang was startled: "No... just look at it. Master Shen is so fancy, have you decided which one to buy?"

"All right."

Yin Zhang walked back to the original counter and asked, "Which one?"

Shen Yue didn't answer, and directly told Xiao Er: "Wrap up the styles I asked about just now, and," Shen Yue pointed to the gold hairpin that he had just seen in the introduction chapter, "Take this one together, too. Packed."

Introduction: "Buy them all?!"

Shen Yue said calmly: "They all look pretty, so I bought them together and let Ah Li wear them."

Introduction: "..."

Xiao Er:? ? ? ! ! !

When he was speaking, the sound of the zither stopped, and in the depths of the store, a woman walked out behind the screen, with a slim figure, walking gracefully, Shen Yue led Zhang Zhang to look over, but heard the little girl calling out: "Ma'am!"

Madam Tan?

Tan Yue put on a thin layer of makeup, but after all she couldn't hide the fatigue from the vicissitudes of life between her brows and eyes, but her demeanor was light, she nodded slightly to Shen Yue Yinzhang, her voice was more like a February yellow warbler, and she asked Xiaoer: "A total of twelve hairpins? "

Xiao Er nodded.

Tan Yue then ordered Xiao Er: "Bring silk cloisonne to the Duobao Pavilion." Then she said to Shen Yue, "Young master is so straightforward, it must be given to someone of great importance, and the daughter of the people will wrap it up for you to express your affection."

……

Driving back to Qiu's mansion, it was past lunchtime, Yinzhang was thinking about cooking to express his gratitude, he got off the horse, when he heard the horses roaring behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the silver lion galloping, making the sound of the wind.

Shen Yue was surprised: "Silver lion?"

The horse stopped in front of its owner, and Shen Yue saw a letter box the thickness of a thumb in his mouth, so he took it and opened it.

The paper was probably torn off casually, and the sides were jagged like jagged edges. There were only a few words on it, and Shen Yue only glanced at it. In an instant, panic surged in his eyes.

Yinzhang asked anxiously: "Why did the silver lion come back? What was written on it?"

"A Li was assassinated!"

It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, before Yinzhang had time to react, he felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and when he raised his eyes, Shen Yue had already driven the silver lion several feet away.
