Chapter 975 Powder

It is said that there are two special places for the bronze mirror made by the Xue family.

One of the Xue mirrors is mostly antiques, using antiques from the Han and Tang dynasties to get the model and then cast it.

In addition, when polishing the mirror, you must use lake water.

Perhaps because of this impression, when Zhu Gaoxu saw Madam Xue again, he suddenly thought of the image of the clear lake.

Although she was wearing a peach-rose dress and her hair was tied up and combed into a graceful and dignified bun, she did not have any makeup on her face, and her white appearance was very beautiful.

It just seems a little simple.

When the ceremony was held, Zhu Gaoxu made a false support move, looked at her, and asked: It seems that the shopkeeper of the Xue family has a reply?

Mrs. Xue said in a gentle tone: The master has agreed, and I am willing to take on this job from the government.

Very good.Zhu Gaoxu clasped his hands and said, then the matter was done.

Mrs. Xue raised her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu in a little surprised.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: Our matter is over, and we will be sent by someone from the Nan Office of the Guardian.If the Xue family wants to contact the government in the future, just go to the Nan Office.

Mrs. Xue suddenly asked: Is Lord Hou not taking care of this business?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I am not responsible for specific matters.

Her eyes flowed like a lake, a faint look of loss flashed through her eyes, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, then looked back at the screen, and said: It's still early today. Since we have met, Mrs. Xue will accompany me to a place.

Mrs. Xue obediently said slightly, but she followed the arrangements of Lord Hou.

So the two of them left the pear garden and set off in Zhu Gaoxu's carriage.

The three or four people were still riding horses and chasing the car.

When they crossed the Qinhuai River and came to the street near Jubaomen in the south, the carriages became slower and slower, crowded, and there were noisy people outside.

After leaving the street extending north and south and entering Heng Street, the carriage became as slow as a snail.

You should probably walk to the place where shops gather here.Zhu Gaoxu said casually, there are still many people in this cold weather.

Mrs. Xue asked: Where should Lord Hou take me to?

Zhu Gaoxu said: I happened to do a small thing in a cosmetic shop.

After a while, Madam Xue asked carefully: What a trivial matter?

Zhu Gaoxu said relaxedly: I can’t explain it clearly in one or two sentences.Not busy with Madam Xue?

Mrs. Xue waved her hand and said: No, not busy.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and thought about it, no matter how busy she is, can she be as busy as she manages the huge court?

But at this time the carriage stopped again and was blocked on the street.

Zhu Gaoxu then picked up a corner of the curtain and watched the dense flags and the crowded crowds of people outside.

He turned his head and said: I suddenly remembered someone said, probably, if there were no women in the world, chasing money would be useless.

After hearing this, Miss Xue said softly: This is really rare.

Zhu Gaoxu thought something, came to his senses for a moment, and said: Maybe not necessarily, but it is indeed quite interesting.There must be huge business opportunities among women.

Mrs. Xue listened and did not respond easily.

The carriage finally arrived in front of the door. On the quaint door, there was a wooden sign: Tiansu.

When the two got off the carriage, a young student called him to the door.

Perhaps women who can buy things here must have wealth in their families, while women from good families generally do not go out for stroll and mostly ask slaves to buy them; so the people who serve guests in this shop are men, and there are also older women, and slaves who serve tea and water.

Zhu Gaoxu was the first time he came to such a place. He glanced at it and asked: Can you try it?

The young man who greeted the guest nodded and said: OK.

At this time, the middle-aged woman came over, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and others with a smile, and then said to Miss Xue, please ask for a wife.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin: Let’s try it first, the pearl powder in this store is quite good.

The middle-aged woman immediately smiled and said softly: Guest officer is very knowledgeable.

The young actor then greeted Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Sheng and went to the flower hall next to him to drink tea and wait.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu sat down, he reached out to take a small long box from Zhang Sheng, put it on a few tables and opened it, and several neatly white stacks of silver coins inside were exposed.

The young actor stared at the box and his eyes lit up.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: Are the shopkeepers here?I want to tell the shopkeeper something.

The young actor bent down and said, "Home, please wait."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a wide body and fat body came. He was attracted by the silver coins on the table when he entered the door.

He immediately bowed and said, "I am the shopkeeper here, with his surname Su, but I don't know the name of the noble man's surname Gao?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: My surname is Hou, and I am from the government.

Manager Su's eyes changed slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu called out: Come on, sit down and talk about something.

Manager Su took his seat carefully and bowed: Please speak, sir.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Your house’s rouge powder is very careful, but it is not easy to clean.

Manager Su said: Tiansu’s rouge powder does not require any cinnabar, lead powder, etc., and is mostly made of jasmine kernels, pearls, and hosta powder. Rouge is made of red and blue flowers as the base, and is accompanied by various pollen seasonings, taking into account both color and fragrance...

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him impatiently and said: I want to customize a soap for cleaning and give it to my family as a gift.This box is a deposit, you can just give it a receipt.

Manager Su was a little hesitant and asked cautiously: What kind of soap?

Zhu Gaoxu waited for his words and immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and did it according to it, and gave me some money to make it useful. I will give you so much money.

Manager Su took the paper with both hands and looked carefully.After a while, he looked up and pointed at the letter symbol on the paper and said, "What does this mean?"

Oh... Zhu Gaoxu said, the shopkeeper doesn’t have to worry about that thing, just read the words.

There are two simple junior high school chemical formulas, including lime reacting with water to make calcium hydroxide, and then reacting with wood ash to make potassium hydroxide.

In the "Translation Collection" of Zhu Gaoxu's "Fake of Translation" for the fake court, there is also an incomplete periodic table of elements, because he can't remember the latter paragraph.

So the merchants can't understand this thing, and the officials in the fake court may understand a rough idea.

The shopkeeper thought for a long time and asked kindly: Since you know how to make it, why should you spend a high price to let us do it?

Zhu Gaoxu said: I am not a businessman.

The shopkeeper was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: The money is not given in vain, just to show sincerity.After you make soap, you will take it to various stores to sell it. Our Maritime Registration Department will collect taxes, and the Guardian Department will withdraw patent fees from the profits, because the process belongs to us.The reason is very simple. Your family’s craftsmanship will not be passed on to outsiders in vain if they have no benefits?

The shopkeeper asked carefully: What if the villain is not skilled and cannot make it?

Zhu Gaoxu signaled to the box on the table, and he could only get this deposit.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and he might not be able to accept that there would be such a good thing in the world.When he came to his senses, he put away the paper and nodded: OK!

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and pressed his wrist. You can't take this thing away, just copy it.

The shopkeeper immediately turned his head and called him, put on a piece of ink and paper.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Manager Su made two documents, one of which clearly stated that he obtained the skills of making soap from the Guardian Sinan Office and voluntarily paid the patent fee according to the court's "New Industrial and Commercial Law".It’s OK to write it clearly. Don’t make trouble in the future and say that the government oppresses the people. We are also annoyed.

How dare you?The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: Once the thing is made, you must provide a detailed process step and submit it to the fake court of the Nanshu Department of the Shouyu Department for archives.Then we will send someone to pick it up.

The shopkeeper was busy copying it and then said: Tonight, the villain will hold a small banquet and ask the adults to enjoy the glory. How about it?

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: Isn’t the talk already finished?

The shopkeeper thought about it and asked with a strange expression: Do you know the name of the Lord?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: We are not afraid that the shopkeeper will be liable for debt, just sign and seal it.

After saying that, he stood up. The tea cup on the table was full and he didn't drink a single gulp of the tea outside.The money in the small box was left behind.

By the way, I took a box of those rouge powder.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at Zhang Sheng.Zhang Sheng bowed.

After working hard for a while, Mrs. Xue had just dressed up with the pink rouge of Tiansu and walked into the lobby.

When Zhu Gaoxu looked at her, he felt that her face was thin and white, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and her red lips looked even more beautiful and delicate.

He thought to himself that this thing is indeed useful.

The shopkeeper was waiting for the group to take them out, and Zhu Gaoxu and Mrs. Xue walked onto the carriage and took a bag from Zhang Sheng.

The carriage was once again driving slowly out of the crowded streets.

After a while, Madam Xue finally couldn't help but turn gently, took out a bronze mirror from her arms, and looked at the appearance in the mirror carefully. Her cheeks appeared a little flushing, as if she had just drunk a few glasses of wine.

Zhu Gaoxu asked: Do you like it?

Mrs. Xue hurriedly put away the bronze mirror. When she turned around, her eyes were a little free and she nodded silently.

Zhu Gaoxu handed over the bag: Let's meet each other, I was more casual and prepared for nothing before. Please accept this little meaning with a smile, and I wish our government and the people a successful cooperation.

Mrs. Xue took it and looked up, and said: "Mr. Hou just bought the powder?So many?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded easily.

Mrs. Xue refused: I asked before, the price they set was too expensive.I will not receive any rewards for my family, so how dare I ask for it?

Zhu Gaoxu said: Don’t care too much about some polite gifts.

The two of them pushed around, and Madam Xue looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and the carriage suddenly became quiet.

Mrs. Xue, who was down in front of Zhu Gaoxu, also boldly looked him in the eyes for a while. Zhu Gaoxu became a little uncomfortable and felt the atmosphere was a little weird.

I don’t know what to say for a moment, but the noisy noise outside and the shaking wooden wheels of the carriage were left.
