Chapter 27 Rouge Shop

On October 30th, in the afternoon, Dou Yi, the Duke of Shenwu County, had already decided on the choice of his daughter's son-in-law.

After dozens of suitors were unsuccessful, the belated Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty hit the bird's eyes with two arrows in succession. Dou Yi was overjoyed and promised to marry the eleven-year-old Li Yuan on the spot.

Cui Che no longer cares about the Dou family's daughter. Only Cao Cao would care about other people's wives.

Bah! He, Cui Che, is not that kind of person.

Of course, if under the influence of the butterfly effect, Li Yuan's relationship with his wife breaks down and they take the initiative to divorce, Brother Che will not dislike the second marriage of the Dou family's daughter.

When he gains power, he can't be a wife, so he can be a concubine.

Not for anything else, just to fill up the now slightly empty home.

"There are tens of millions of mansions in Anhui, which can shelter all the women in the world and make them happy."

Cui Che sighed deeply, then cheered up and looked at the store she and Miaorong selected yesterday with Mu Xieli.

Mu Xieli was originally the illegitimate daughter of Song Qindao, a servant of the Northern Qi Dynasty. During the Qianming Rebellion, Song Qindao was killed by Gao Yan, Emperor Xiaozhao of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was still the emperor's uncle. The female family confiscated the government, and Mu Xieli entered the palace since she was a child. As a maid of the Sinful Palace, she gradually ascended to the position of queen.

If we say she is a simple-minded woman, it would be no less outrageous than "The Beauty" that Cui Che watched when she was a child.

The reason why he doesn't have any evil intentions now is just that Brother Che is young. If he waits a few years longer, he will have to show this young man how he used to charm the king.

Mu Xieli was very clear about her situation. Even if the powerful people in Kansai coveted her beauty, they would not dare to touch her.

And he looked down on people who came from a lowly background. For the rest of his life, he was counting on Cui Che. Even if he became a concubine in the future, considering the young man's handsomeness, he would not be unable to accept it.

In Mu Xieli's eyes, even if he could live a prosperous life through his own hard work, it would be less honorable to be a concubine for a high-ranking disciple like Cui Che.

For a long time in ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry, merchants, and merchants were always at the bottom of social status.

Cui Che carefully inspected every corner of the store, but Mu Xieli absentmindedly estimated the age gap between her and Cui Che.

Wait another eight years, and the young man will be fifteen years old. He himself is only twenty-nine. It is the time when he is full of charm, and the young man is also full of blood. How can he endure it? If he gives birth to a son and a half daughter by then, , the second half of his life also found its way.

Miaorong didn't know what Mu Xieli was thinking, so she called Sister Mu affectionately and pulled her to discuss the future decoration of the store.

With Mu Xieli's methods, he could coax this stupid girl to arouse his sister just by visiting the shop with Miaorong yesterday.

"Do you really want to do the rouge business? There are so many rouge shops in Chang'an City, why not change your profession."

Pei Xiu, who was determined to follow him, objected.

Cui Che was confident about this. He glanced at Mu Xieli, who was being pulled closer to the back hall by Miao Rong, and chuckled:

"She has lived in a deep palace for a long time and is pampered. She has no other advantages, but she is best at rouge, gouache, and jewelry. In terms of true taste, all the rouge shops in Chang'an City combined can't compare to her."

Pei Xiu thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense. After all, Mu Xieli had also been a queen and a queen. She was one of the most noble women in Guandong. She had been exposed to a lot of rouge and gouache, so her vision would definitely not be the same. Difference.

Cui Che added:

"Besides, if you open a rouge shop and have more contact with women, you can avoid a lot of trouble. Miao Rong stays in Chang'an on weekdays. If you get bored, you can come over to help. This shop is half as good as mine."

Mu Xieli's rouge shop is funded by Cui Che, who holds half of the shares, while Mu Xieli manages the other half.

Originally, Cui Che didn't like this small shop. His ancestors, the Gu family, left him a fortune of tens of millions. What he lacked was merit and fame. To him, the wealth was nothing more than an external possession. Anyway, he didn't feel bad about selling his father's land.

But Mu Xieli insisted on partnering with him, so he agreed to it because he couldn't refuse. He planned to offer Mu Xieli a low symbolic price and sell it to her one day when his business became bigger and he wanted to go back.

Forgetting about the daughter of the Dou family, Cui Che was in a good mood today. He had already selected ten smart boys early in the morning and gave each of them a sum of money to ask them to go to Guandong to help the empress.

Spread the word.

Of course, the theme is that Cui Che wanted to repay the kindness of the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and could not bear the emperor to be misunderstood.

The influence of rescuing Empress Mu should not be underestimated. The Northern Qi royal family was indeed unpopular, but there were still people who cherished their homeland. For example, Qin Qiong's father, Qin Ai, returned to his hometown after the death of Qi and remained in office for the rest of his life.

Mu Xieli's shop can be opened at any time after it is decorated. Last night she took Miao Rong to try making rouge in the house. Although she had never done it before, she knew the so-called palace formula very well and tried it many times.

After a few times, the same thing happened.

On the way home, Cui Che originally wanted to buy a small house for Mu Xieli outside the mansion, but Mu Xieli strongly refused. She did not want to move out of Cui's mansion, leaving Cui Che with an unappreciated rouge shop as her only home.

association.

"Young Master is setting up a living for me, so how can I dare to trouble you again to spend money on buying a house for me? If I don't give up, please let me stay in Cui Mansion for the time being until I get to Rouge Shop in the future."

When the business is prosperous and I have accumulated savings, I will look for a place to live."

Cui Che didn't know Mu Xieli's plan. He just felt that Aunt Mu was a strong woman, and he felt a little fond of her again. There was also Miao Rong beside him, begging Cui Che to keep Mu Xieli, so Cui Che agreed.

.

During the time Miaorong got along with Mu Xieli, she felt that she really got along with this sister Mu. She spoke nicely and even taught her how to make rouge. Cui Che happened to be going back to the academy early the morning after tomorrow. It was not easy to find a companion, so how could she be willing to do so?

Let her move out.

The three-day holiday passed by in a flash. It was the first day of November, the fourth quarter of Yin Zheng, and the fifth watch.

From the Drum Tower of Gelifang, the sound of drums rippled, awakening the sleeping city of Chang'an.

Cui Che walked through the barrier, covered Miao Rong with a quilt who was still sleeping soundly, and went out quietly. He was about to ask the cook to boil water for washing, but he saw a woman squatting in the water boiling room in the backyard.

On the ground, fanning the firewood under the stove.

The curves of her waist and hips looked familiar. Cui Che came closer. When the woman heard the sound, she turned around and saw that it was Mu Xieli.

"Why are you here?"

Cui Che said doubtfully.

Mu Xieli wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignoring the stains on his face, and said with a smile:

"I can't repay my great kindness, so I just wanted to do what I can for Mr. Young. I heard from people in the mansion that Mr. Young was going back to the academy early today, so I asked the cook to boil water."

Cui Che didn't know what to say. He walked to Mu Xieli in a few steps and reached out to wipe away the stain for her.

The water boiling room was quiet, with only the sound of hot water boiling in the boiler.

Please collect and recommend.
