I do beauty in Jianghu

There is no confession. I tried to confess my love to others not long ago, but I was rejected before I spoke.

Bai Muxi endured it, thinking that it is a big taboo to make shallow conversations, so she bit the bullet and said: "No, um, I don't have much popularity with men."

Yan Tang nodded, looked at the back of his hand again, and sighed softly: "Okay, then I'll try it first."

As he said, he took the pearl ointment and walked out.

It was rare to meet such a big client who came back to the door first, and Bai Muxi hurried to send him up. He felt that the delivery was not enthusiastic enough, so he sent him all the way to the street.

When I arrived at the intersection, I happened to meet a group of people riding tall horses, surrounded by a group of people, walking over proudly.

Yan Tang and Bai Muxi hurriedly stopped in their tracks, all of these people were dressed as sons and buddies, dressed in sharp clothes, with bows and arrows on their backs.

Yan Tang looked at them with a hint of envy in his eyes: "Is this going hunting in the wild again?"

Since coming to Qingping Street, Bai Muxi has seen these people several times. They are all young masters from famous families in the city. A bonfire banquet is held in the largest square in the west city center.

Of course, only the young ladies of rich families are eligible to attend the banquet.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flatbed cart in the crowd, with a large iron cage pulled on it, and a litter of extremely frightened little wolf cubs was placed in the cage.

"Wow!" Bai Muxi exclaimed, he had never seen a wolf, let alone such a small wolf cub.

Seeing the people gathered around, the sons and brothers stopped to show off, and let everyone watch the little wolf cub at a close distance. Bai Muxi also felt amazing and couldn't help but go to the front to watch it.

Although the wolf cub was small, he consciously ignited his defensive instincts because of his fright. He grinned at the crowd and made a threatening sound.

Yan Tang didn't have much interest, so he left slowly after Dao Sheng left, even the back was lonely and desolate, as if it was full of stories.

Bai Muxi looked at his back, curious in his heart, but on the surface he had to send him away calmly and courteously. After closing the shop door in the evening, he ran to Liu's house and chatted about the shop. When it came to Yan Tang.

"Yan Tang?" Liu Chuyun was slightly startled when he heard the name: "How do you know this person?"

Bai Muxi said: "He came to the shop and bought ten boxes of pearl ointment at once!"

Liu Chuyun suddenly realized: "That's it."

Bai Muxi: "Aren't you surprised, he bought so much pearl ointment by himself, and he still used it for himself. He said he wanted to apply it all over his body, and for 300 taels of silver, he didn't even blink his eyes!"

Liu Chuyun patted him: "You don't know that, let me tell you slowly."

Yan Tang's father was originally a chef in Tianxiang Pavilion. His skills were superb, but no matter how perfect he was, he was only a cook.

Not long ago, Father Yan saved half his life's money and wanted to renovate his home. As a result, two Ru Kiln teacups passed down by his ancestors were dug out from the ground during the renovation. Once it was verified that it was true, someone came to buy it the next day, asking for 50 taels. Father Yan was afraid that it would bring blood to himself if it was left at home for a long time, so he immediately sold it.

With 50 taels in hand, the Yan family immediately turned into an upstart.

But even though they had money, they couldn't get into the circle of those upper-class people, and Yan Tang was in an embarrassing situation because of his status as an upstart.

The poor people rushed to curry favor with him, just for his money, flattered him on the surface, but scolded him very badly behind their backs, Yan Tang naturally didn't want to associate with them.

And those high-ranking sons and gentlemen have always looked down on the nouveau riche because of their identities, and they don't associate with him.

However, this Yan Tang didn't have any self-knowledge at all. As soon as he made a fortune, he fell in love with the son of a noble family in the city, and desperately wanted to pursue him.

But he is the eldest son of a famous family, so how could he be admired.

Having said this, Bai Muxi understood: "No wonder he is so rich, but he goes shopping alone."

Even if an ordinary son goes out, he will more or less follow a servant behind him.

Liu Chuyun shook his head slightly: "He didn't take the boy with him because if he met those young masters on the road and laughed at him, it would be even more embarrassing for the boy to see him. He is also not good at words, and he can't offend others. When he is laughed at, he will be silent. go away."

Bai Muxi frowned slightly: "Then he bought pearl ointment to please that young master? But didn't you say that people look down on him?"

Liu Chuyun helped the hairpin on his head, and recalled: "I heard that Yan Tang was too resolute to wrap around that young master, so he loosened it a bit. When that young master came out to play, he would occasionally Take him with you."

Bai Muxi thought about Yan Tang's solitary appearance during the day, sighed, and shook his head slightly: "There's so much money already, why bother."

Liu Chuyun also said: "Who says it's not? After finally gaining some dignity, I completely lost it in front of that young master."

Bai Muxi couldn't help being curious: "Whose son is it?"

Liu Chuyun touched his chin: "The eldest son of the Gu family in the west of the city."

Bai Muxi had never heard of: "The Gu family?"

Liu Chuyun nodded: "Yes, you didn't go to the west of the city before, it's normal if you don't know, this Gu family is amazing, a hard character who takes both black and white, the government will give some face to a famous family, how many people above Mr. Gu On the surface, he sells antiques and rare curios, and has close ties with the government. He secretly heard that he has many friendships with those great sects in the world. He also has two brothers, one is a banker, the other is a cosmetics seller. He is the big boss who covers the sky with one hand in the industry."

Bai Muxi was slightly surprised: "Seller of makeup?"

The line of work he is doing now is more sensitive to this.

Liu Chuyun said slowly: "Yes, these two brothers are in the north, I don't know much about it, but I heard that Boss Gu who sells cosmetics will come here to attend some kind of banquet in the second half of the year, many small merchants selling cosmetics We are all waiting for this banquet to curry favor with him."

Bai Muxi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Liu Chuyun knew what he was thinking: "We are not eligible to receive invitations yet, so we can only work harder and see if we have a chance to squeeze in when we see."

Bai Muxi nodded heavily: "This is indeed a good opportunity."

After all, it was a little funny: "In this way, this young master Yan Tang has taken a fancy to the eldest son of the Gu family at a glance, and this target is too difficult to pick."

Liu Chuyun also sighed: "Who's to say it's not? The eldest son is handsome and rich, and there are countless Yingyingyanyans around him. I'm afraid he has no hope."

Speaking of difficulty, Bai Muxi suddenly thought of the one at home, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

If there is no hope, I am afraid that Yan Tang is not the only one, but this Boss Gu's banquet, he has to think carefully.

Back home, Qiuniang was already cooking, and Bai Muxi also went in to help. He is busy with business now and can't always stay at home, but he can still cook whenever he has time.

Because Qi Ming likes his cooking more than Qiuniang's cooking.

Of course, Bai Muxi didn't dare to ask this, but the dishes made by the two of them were served on the table. Qi Ming obviously picked up the dishes he cooked a lot, so Bai Muxi was secretly proud of it, and didn't think about whether there was a choice of ingredients.

While sleeping, Bai Muxi and Qi Ming talked about Boss Gu, saying that they wanted to work hard, squeeze into this banquet, and give themselves a chance to win.

Qi Ming didn't object: "It's pretty good."

Bai Muxi: "Then I will be even busier next time, and I have to find a way to ship more goods from the South China Sea."

Qi Ming: "You don't have that much principal, do you?"

Bai Muxi was worried about this matter: "Yes, but if the sales volume is mediocre, what can I use to impress Boss Gu? He is a legend in the makeup world."

Qi Ming: "How long until he comes?"

Bai Muxi thought for a while: "Chuyun said that it will be about half a year."

Qi Ming said: "That's enough for you to prepare for a while, give it a try, calm down, it's okay to fail, and you're having a good life now."

Bai Muxi nodded: "That's what I think, whether you succeed or not, just take it as a chance."

He grinned at Qi Ming with a heartless smile.

"It doesn't matter if you fail. If you fail, just keep selling like this. Today, a customer bought ten boxes in one go!"

The two lay down, Bai Muxi grabbed Qi Ming's pajamas, and tirelessly chatted with him about what he had seen during the day. Qi Ming was already sleepy, but Bai Muxi was so excited that he shook him to prevent him from sleeping.

Qi Ming was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He stretched out his arms to hug him, pressed his head into his arms, and said like other adults trying to coax a child to sleep: "Sleep and sleep, it's time for the children to sleep, and if you don't sleep, the wolf will come."

He didn't know where he heard other adults scaring his child that way, saying that if he cries at night, the wild wolves in the valley will come to steal the child. These days, if Bai Muxi is dishonest at night, Qi Ming scares him like this.

How could Bai Muxi be frightened, he was not sleepy at all, but was amused by Qi Ming, struggling to get out of his arms, "I haven't finished yet."

"Where did the wolf come from in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, by the way, speaking of wolves, I saw little wolves in West Market today—"

He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard a high-pitched and vicious 'Wow! ! ! ! ! ! '

Bai Muxi gasped in fright, curled up her toes, quickly hugged Qi Ming, and looked up, Qi Ming, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, suddenly opened them, frowned, and looked out solemnly look.

"Look, the wolf is coming, isn't it?"

His tone of voice was fairly relaxed, but his expression was very serious. This expression was too rare, and Bai Muxi became even more nervous. He hugged him and asked in a low voice: "How could there really be wolves?"

Listening to the sound just now, it's not far from their house!

Qi Ming said softly: "Shh..."

Bai Muxi fell silent.

It's so strange. He has lived in the city for so many years, and he has never seen a wolf. He only knows that there are wolves in the valleys in the outskirts. Could it be that Qi Ming really talked about it?

"Aww!!!!!!!"

Another stern wolf howl resounded through the night sky, and the sound was closer to their house, as if it was in the next street.

People near and far were all woken up by the fright, but they all kept silent, fastened the doors and windows secretly, and hid in the house shivering.

In the middle of the night, why did wolves enter the city?

After a while, Bai Muxi heard the sound of hoofs running wildly on the ground from the street where his yard was located.

Not one, two, but a group!

After the wolves swarmed into this street, they stopped and sniffed around.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Muxi heard the courtyard door of his own house slammed into something hard with a 'dong' sound.

Bai Muxi's heart stopped beating suddenly.
