When Ye Jiao heard this, she was a little puzzled at first, but when the man held her face and looked at him, Ye Jiao looked at him blankly: "I didn't smoke it, and I didn't burn it..."
Qi Yun's eyes also saw the rouge box in her hand, knowing that she had misunderstood, he coughed lightly, for fear that Ye Jiao would be sad, he took the rouge box in Ye Jiao's hand and put it aside, and said in his mouth. : "I just got dazzled and didn't see it clearly, it's my fault." As he said that, he wanted to break the topic, "The pigeons in the small kitchen are simmering first, and it's the same when you come back and drink it."
Ye Jiao really wanted to make soup with pigeons, and she wanted to try the little ginseng that she had never tried.
But Ye Jiao could see the strangeness of this person, and she understood after thinking about it. She was afraid that she had finally dressed up once, but her husband didn't like it, which made her a little disappointed: "Isn't it good-looking?"
Qi Yun looked around for a while, but said nothing.
If I'm being honest, it's naturally... not good-looking.
Qi Erlang has never questioned the beauty of his wife, with red lips and white teeth and beautiful facial features. Ye Jiao didn't like to go out when she was in the Ye family, because the more beautiful the daughter of the poor family, the more dangerous it is. This appearance is indeed very attractive.
The woman next to her needs to put on her face to appear fair complexion, but for Ye Jiao, she nourishes herself, her skin is white and rosy, even if she has been wearing a plain face before, she still looks good.
But now Ye Jiao used rouge to paint her face mottled, especially the two blushes on her cheeks. It looked like a doll in a New Year's painting, it really wasn't good-looking.
But Qi Erlang didn't say it straight, just told her: "You use more, this rouge can't be applied more every time, a little is enough."
Ye Jiao's eyes were still a little lost: "Then it would be better for me not to use these?"
Qi Yun didn't agree this time. In his opinion, his Jiao Niang has a good foundation, and she looks good without painting, but since Jiao Niang wants to use it, he naturally won't say anything to disturb her. her temperament.
Everything can never be judged by one good or bad, and in the end it depends on whether you like it or not.
What the lady likes, he naturally supports it unconditionally.
Reaching out and pinching Ye Jiao's earlobe, Qi Yun said slowly, "Jiao Niang will look good without this, but it should look even better if you use it. Go and wash your face, I'll help you."
Ye Jiao heard this and looked at him in surprise: "Master, why do you use rouge?"
"It's not a good idea. I haven't touched it before. I just saw my mother put on makeup when I was a child. I know it. If you don't do it well, you shouldn't laugh at me." It gave Ye Jiao great confidence.
Ye Jiao doesn't know how to put on rouge. He doesn't know what Qi Yun says, but Ye Jiao just blindly trusts Qi Yun and immediately gets up to wash her face.
When facing the water basin, the shadow reflected in it was much clearer than that of the bronze mirror, and Ye Jiao could see her current appearance.
...where is this fairy from!
She subconsciously took a step back, but she quickly reacted, her face was flushed, and she immediately washed her face with warm water, thinking that her husband just didn't like it, but was frightened.
It's not surprising that it looks like this.
After cleaning up, Ye Jiao went back a little embarrassed, looked at Qi Yun and said, "Xiang Gong, did I scare you just now?"
Qi Yun had already changed the clothes she was wearing in the room and waited for her. Seeing her coming back, he smiled and said, "How can I be so easily frightened."
Even if you're scared, you can't admit it.
The man stood at the table and waved to Ye Jiao: "Come here."
Ye Jiao trotted over and sat down immediately, looking at him with her head raised very obediently.
He didn't actually wear rouge for anyone, Qi Yun didn't even touch this thing, but for the sake of his little girl, Qi Yun went to wash his hands just now, and quickly recalled the books he had read before, still holding I smeared rouge on the back of my hand and tried it several times. There are still several marks on the back of my slightly pale hand. Finally, I have a general rule.
Talented people learn everything quickly, but Qi Yun never thought that one day he would use his action force on rouge.
But everything is worth it for Ye Jiao to be happy.
Since he had a good foundation, Qi Yun lightly patted her cheeks.
The rouge is already red and bright, and a light layer is good, but this one will not be used for other Qi Yun.
He picked up the mouth grease again and put it in the middle of her lips and gently wiped it away.
This was originally a very simple step, and Qi Yun didn't think he did well, at least he didn't know the same lip makeup styles that other girls like to paint.
However, Ye Jiao's face is particularly impressive, with good skin quality, smooth skin, and beautiful facial features, just a simple modification.
Especially after the red lipstick is applied, it becomes more radiant and soft...
Qi Yun's fingertips paused slightly, and her originally focused and meticulous gaze moved, and unconsciously focused on her lips, and pressed it again.
Soft and red.
Qi Yun could still remember the warm touch when she kissed her cheek.
Jiao Niang didn't know what Qi Yun was thinking. Seeing that his pale face was a little red, she couldn't help holding Qi Yun's wrist worriedly: "Xiang Gong, are you uncomfortable?"
Qi Yun immediately let go of his hand, staggered his eyes, and coughed lightly, "No, it's okay."
Ye Jiao also felt that there was no problem with his pulse, she just thought she had misunderstood, smiled at Qi Yun, and turned to look at herself in the mirror.
Inside the bronze mirror, there was still a blurry outline, Ye Jiao couldn't see clearly when she looked left and right, so she returned to the front of the water basin and looked closer.
Even though it's still not clear, you can vaguely see the face of a hibiscus inside, which is much better than the colorful one just now.
Ye Jiao immediately had a smile on her face, and little ginseng also loves beauty. Who wouldn't like to look better
He turned his head and smiled at Qi Yun: "Xianggong's paintings are really beautiful."
Qi Yun's mood just calmed down and was moved by this bright smiling face. He tried his best to keep his usual calmness and calmness.
Ye Jiao shook her head: "The colorful one just now didn't look good."
Qi Yun couldn't help laughing, took Ye Jiao's hand, and changed the subject: "You don't seem to like this bronze mirror."
Ye Jiao has always been frank with him: "It's not that I don't like it. I usually look at it there, but I can't see the person clearly."
The bronze mirror in Qi Yun's house is the most popular style of bronze mirror on the market today.
One side is smooth and the other side is carved. It looks like a delicate handicraft placed there, but it's really not really that much. When it looks at people, it seems to be covered in fog, and the one in Qi Yun's house is more than ordinary. Can't see clearly.
Probably because Qi Yun himself is not a person who likes to look in mirrors, and has no need for bronze mirrors. After Ye Jiao came, she used it when she tied her hair. No one paid any attention to whether it was really easy to use.
The bronze mirror is more like a must-have item in the house.
But after Ye Jiao came, everything was fresh, and what should be used would be used naturally.
Now that Ye Jiao mentioned it, Qi Yun thought for a while and said, "Go back and change to a better bronze mirror, but no matter how good it is, it won't be very clear. But people from the caravan said before that there is a kind of mirror in the Western Regions. Much clearer than a bronze mirror."
Ye Jiao heard a new term: "What is a caravan?"
Qi Yun explained: "We do business with merchants in the Western Regions. They will gather together to form a caravan, sell our things, buy back things from outside, and earn the difference in the middle, which has always been profitable. But there is a lot of danger.”
Ye Jiao doesn't know anything about shopping malls. Of course she is happy to make money, but it is always bad to be in danger: "If there is danger, Xianggong should not go."
"Just ask them to buy something, not only your mirror, but also some furnishings in the wine shop." Qi Yun didn't go into details, just reassured Ye Jiao.
But in the heart of a man, the caravan is a matter of time, and he even plans to form one himself when he has the capital in the future.
In addition, many things he will do one after another.
Just a prosperous wine shop can't give the Qi family much protection.
It is naturally good for Qi Ming to be able to take the exam, but no one can say for the imperial examination. Whether he can succeed or not depends on the will of God in addition to his ability, and even the emperor's likes and dislikes in the last game. It is really difficult. Guess.
Qi Yun will help him for Qi Ming's future, but he still has to rely on himself for other things.
Nowadays, businessmen are no longer discriminated against, and they can even receive some preferential treatment in many cases, but Qi Yun is very clear that if you want to benefit from the road of businessmen, it is not enough to have a few small shops.
There are a lot of things he has to do, step by step, in the end, he has to give himself and Jiao Niang a shelter.
Holding Ye Jiao's hand tightly, Qi Yun said softly, "I'll paint your eyebrows for you."
Ye Jiao nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Looking at Qi Yun with her head raised, Ye Jiao looked at the person who was focusing on holding Qingdai to draw her eyebrows, the more she looked, the more she felt that Qi Yun was beautiful.
Ye Jiao tried her best to recall the words she learned recently.
Clear outlines, bright eyes and bright stars, in short, it is good-looking.
The woman could feel the touch of Qingdai being swept on her eyebrows. When both sides were drawn, Ye Jiao asked softly, "Are you all right?"
Qi Yun solemnly picked up the damp cloth on the side and wiped her eyebrows: "Not yet, wait a minute."
At the same time, the man sighed in his heart, saying that drawing eyebrows between husbands and wives in ancient times was considered intimate, but in practice, it was much more difficult than applying rouge.
Most of the men who can use thrush as a daily routine have a pair of ingenious hands that won't shake, and a good skill in turning their eyebrows into symmetry.
Fortunately, Qi Yun had a good luck today, and he finished the painting after two repetitions. Although he did not say that it was very beautiful, his painting was light, and it was acceptable.
He sighed again, having a good-looking lady is a blessing, and he is not afraid of tossing.
But Qi Yun's face was light, as if he had just done a trivial matter, but after Ye Jiao went out happily, Qi Yun put on his robe again, grabbed the stove, and went out to Liu's yard. .
Why do you have to ask Liu Shi to ask someone who can make up to teach Jiao Niang, whether Jiao Niang has learned it or learned it by herself.
After all, Qi Erlang really can't guarantee that he will be lucky to draw symmetry next time...
Ye Jiao got on the bullock cart, and she was accompanied by Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu specially sent Mrs. Liu to follow her. She felt that Ye Jiao had a soft-natured temper. It would be alright if she went out for the first time. Followed by a protection.
Ye Jiao and Mrs. Liu are also familiar. She was the one who followed her when she returned to the door, but now she is still her. As soon as she got in the car, Ye Jiao shared the snacks she brought with them.
Mrs. Liu took a closer look and saw that it was a few pieces of taro dough. They were dried taro and ground into flour and kneaded with flour. Inside was stuffed with chicken. It was said to be a snack, but in fact it was more like a snack. is the staple food.
There are not many people who can make this at home, and it is not easy to buy it outside. Only the cooks in a few restaurants in the town have this skill.
It seems that the second young master who had talked about the business of the restaurant and shop was really done.
Mrs. Liu has been following Mrs. Liu, and she knows some things about the family. Even if she guesses it, she will only be happy for her second young master.
I have been listening to Liu's private talk, saying that Ye Jiao is a lucky person, not only is she blessed, but also can share her blessings with Qi Yun.
Madam Liu was superstitious and naturally treated Ye Jiao more and more respectfully.
Dong's is different, she can't see any difference in this dumpling, but she thinks it tastes good, and remembers to talk to Ye Jiao about the cultivation methods of those medicinal flowers later, which makes her a little distracted.
However, Ye Jiao didn't focus on any of them, she just ate the taro balls in mouthfuls, touched her stomach, and looked satisfied.
The distance from Qi's house to Zhenzi is not too close, but fortunately, the roads are all roads, flat and open, and the ox-cart travels fast.
Not long after the dumplings finished eating, they arrived at the place.
Ye Jiao lifted the curtain and looked out. She felt that the streets here were more prosperous. There were some small vendors on both sides, and many shops were opened, and Qi's wine shop was not far from the street.
Dong shi held Ye Jiao by the side and said, "This is a good location. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell. The business must be booming."
Half of this is flattery, and the other half is sincere.
Now is not the time for "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". The imperial court encourages commercial development, and more and more shops are opened. For good things, in addition to shouting, you need a good location.
Dong Shi and his husband run the Qi family's pharmacy. Although the location is not bad, it is far from the prosperity here.
Looking at it with some envy, Mr. Dong thought in his heart that it was time to let his husband go to the owner's house, and he couldn't just watch other people eat meat and drink soup.
Steward Song stood at the door with a smile on his face, waiting for Ji Shi, when he saw the Qi family's car approaching, he hurried up to meet him: "Second young lady, slow down." Then he turned his head to the young man and said, "Hurry up and bring a stool and help me. The second young lady gets out of the car."
Ye Jiao picked up the curtain and came out without anyone helping her. She stepped on the stool and got out of the car, looked up at Steward Song, and said with a smile, "Steward Song, Xiang Gong let me take a look, didn't you delay your business? "
But when Ye Jiao came down, Manager Song was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Ye Jiao wearing Fendai, and he didn't expect to be so outstanding.
Qi Yun sees Ye Jiao all the time, and naturally he can't find out the difference in Ye Jiao, but steward Song doesn't see her often, so when he sees her suddenly, he feels that there is a big change.
In addition to the complexion, there is also the temperament. I can't see the poverty before half a minute. Instead, she looks like a charming lady in a honey pot.
But steward Song didn't look at it much, he quickly looked away, and said with a smile on his face, "Don't delay, don't delay, the second young lady is looking so good today, come and sit inside." As he was talking, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Sun also followed After coming down, Steward Song greeted the man with a smile, "Take a few distinguished guests to the second floor and find a good tea to prepare."
But when Ye Jiao went to take a seat by the window on the second floor, she saw from the window that there were about four or five people coming towards this side with their heads tilted, looking menacing.
Ye Jiao was a little curious: "Is that also to watch the fun?"
Dong shi glanced at it, and frowned slightly: "I don't want to watch the fun, but I look like a local ruffian who has nothing to do."
Soon, Mr. Dong's words were confirmed, and those people stood in front of the shop, and the leader shouted: "Our shopkeeper Sun said, your shop is hindering the feng shui of Sun's bank, if you want to open it, bring the money first. !"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Dong said in a low voice: "Sure enough, I came here to look for trouble. Who should report to the family before looking for trouble?"
If it's not stupid, it's just trying to smash the scene with bad intentions.
