Chapter Five: Sister Feng
Fang Zheng finally saw the appearance of Jinling, the capital of the Chinese Dynasty. Fang Mansion is located at the intersection of Dagongfang and Huashi Street. There are people coming and going on the bustling street, with teahouses, wine shops, shops, roadside vendors, and performing arts.
Men, old men playing monkeys, coolies pulling carts, nobles on horseback, patrolling officers and soldiers, and busy traffic create the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous age. "The city is full of pearls, the houses are full of luxury, and the rich and luxurious are competing for each other." This scene in front of me,
Who can believe that the Chinese Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles and is devastated?
Fang Zheng is an urban youth from the 21st century. In that era, the sky was full of planes buzzing, cars were racing all over the ground, dozens or hundreds of high-rise buildings were everywhere, and beauties in the streets were all dressed up.
A young man. In other words, Young Master Fang is a man who has seen the world.
Therefore, although there was a bustling scene with people coming and going in front of him, it really didn't feel like anything in his eyes. Despite this, Fang Zheng still looked around dizzy along the way. In this strange era, he must observe carefully.
, to learn, to experience, and to fully integrate yourself into it, so that you can survive better.
"Xiao Wu, what are you going to buy?" Fang Zheng wandered around for a while before his interest waned, and then he thought of asking Xiao Wu.
"Back to the young master..."
"Okay, okay, I asked you, can you not be so polite? Why do you always have to say 'reply to the young master' when I ask a question? There are only two of us here. If you are not talking to me, are you talking to ghosts?"
"Fang Zheng interrupted Xiao Wu impatiently.
"Yes, Mr. Hui...well, Butler Liu asked me to buy some rouge and gouache for the maids and sisters in the east courtyard. I heard that this was given by the lady."
"Those maids even have to buy the rouge and gouache for themselves?" Fang Zheng thought that the maids in the east courtyard were very relaxed. Apart from serving the master and his wife to wash and eat, they basically had nothing else to do every day. He didn't expect that they
The benefits are so good, my parents are really kind businessmen.
"The young master misunderstood. This is a reward specially given to them by the madam. The madam said that the young master can wake up, and they deserve credit for serving him day and night."
Tsk! If I can wake up, that’s because my character has exploded, and they have a lot of credit! Fang Zheng thought bitterly.
"Oh, I'll buy Xiaolu's rouge later." This personal maid is worth as much as 258,000 yuan. Give her something to see if she can change her attitude. At least, you can bring tea and water.
Yes, you have to put on a smile? Isn't "smile service" advocated these days?
After walking and stopping along the way, the two of them arrived at Flower Market Street.
This place is getting more and more prosperous, with merchants coming from north to south gathering here. The originally quite spacious road seems a bit crowded. Most of the people are like street vendors in later generations. They spread a piece of felt on the ground and then put their goods on it.
Even if the business is open, there is no need to worry about the urban management coming to seize the stall. As long as it does not block the entrance of the roadside shop, you can place it anywhere else you like.
Fang Zheng looked at these stalls and couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy. In his previous life, he often wandered around these stalls. Whenever he had some spare money, he would trade for something at the stalls. Over the years, he has gained a lot.
But most of them are of no practical use.
The scene here is very similar to the previous life. Fang Zheng stopped at almost every stall. He curiously played with various gadgets. If he was interested, he bargained with the vendors. After strolling down, Taiyang
It was almost sunset, and Fang Zheng also harvested a lot. They were all things of little use, including phoenix hairpins for women, an old wild ginseng tree that was said to be hundreds of years old, a bronze chamber pot with * carved on it, etc.
…
When we finally arrived at the entrance of the rouge and gouache shop, it was completely dark. The shop assistant was closing the door and preparing to close the door. Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward, gestured with the shopkeeper, and then turned around and pointed at Fang Zheng, as if he was
Introduce Mr. Fang to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is a young woman, in her mid-twenties, but her dress is a bit exaggerated.
Perhaps to conceal her actual age, or perhaps to promote her own store, her face was covered with thick gouache, and her face was as white as a female corpse just fished out of the water. This was not the end of it, she
Then he put two dollops of bright red rouge on his frighteningly white face. Perhaps in her eyes, she looked pretty this way.
However, there are still flaws in this look. She can't smile. When she smiles, the gouache won't stay on her face and will fall down, which is a sign of damage.
When the female shopkeeper saw Fang Zheng, her eyes lit up. She habitually wanted to put on a smile, but she found something wrong. The gouache on her face was about to fall off, so she had to say hello with a straight face, but her words were full of smiles:
"Oh! It turns out that this is the young master of the Fang family. I have admired him for a long time."
The female shopkeeper didn't laugh, but Fang Zheng did. This girl made herself look like this, and she wasn't afraid of scaring the customers. She put on a red wig and looked like a Ronald McDonald. This is actually the most popular restaurant in Beijing.
The shopkeeper of a famous rouge shop?
Fang Zheng casually cupped his hand and said with a smile: "Good job, shopkeeper."
The female shopkeeper gave an exaggerated "ouch" and said, "Don't talk about one shopkeeper at a time. You have so many birth certificates. Everyone else calls them Sister Feng of the Nu family. If Master Fang doesn't mind, he can just call him Sister Feng of the Nu family from now on." After saying this, she threw it at Fang Zheng.
Got a wink.
Am I buying rouge or visiting a brothel? Women in ancient times have been so open-minded. Fang Zheng was a little depressed.
What was even more depressing was that he had to call her Sister Feng. He thought of the Sister Feng in "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The pink face contains the power of spring but does not reveal it, and the pink lips smell it before she smiles." What a charm that is, but this person in front of him
Well……
Fang Zheng couldn't bear to look away and turned around to tell Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, hurry up and choose. After choosing, go home for dinner. Master, I'm hungry."
Sister Feng said coquettishly: "Since Master Fang is here, why bother leaving in a hurry? Why don't you have a cup of tea first and wait for your servants to choose slowly?"
She asked "How are you doing?", but she pulled Fang Zheng through the door and sat down. She turned around and ordered the waiter to serve tea. Her attitude was as enthusiastic as if she and Fang Zheng had been friends for decades.
Fang Zheng was a little frightened. This woman-looking object treated me so warmly. Could it be that she was attracted by my beauty? He looked at Sister Feng carefully. To be honest, he couldn't see clearly what she looked like. Her facial features were all blurred.
Covered with gouache.
The layout of the rouge shop is relatively simple. The counter made of mahogany is facing the door. There are some colorful and delicate-looking small boxes placed on the wooden shelves. Outside the counter, there are only two mahogany chairs and an antique table.
There is a pot of flowers on the coffee table, which is really bright and comfortable to look at, yet elegant.
The female shopkeeper is a bit ugly in appearance, but judging from the layout of the shop, her taste is not bad.
Sister Feng sat down next to Fang Zheng, her eyes were flying: "Master Fang, is this your first time in the shop? I have heard of Master Fang's name for a long time, but I regret that I didn't get to meet him. Today, my wish has come true."
Fang Zheng forced out a stiff smile and said: "Well...Sister Feng, I, ah, Xiaosheng, ah, that's not right. I have heard about Sister Feng for a long time...what...what is this name?"
Sister Feng glanced at him and said angrily: "Sister, the name of this shop is Ruyuzhai. Huh, I've heard it for a long time and I don't even know the name of the shop."
Fang Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment. It's not good to be polite, but it's not good to be more serious. It will make people uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Sister Feng did not dwell too much on this matter, and the two of them chatted for a while. Although Sister Feng is a female generation, it can be seen that she has much more knowledge and experience than ordinary men, and her words are quite heroic and heroic.
Looking at her, even Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel admiration and friendship. If this Sister Feng hadn't been so shockingly dressed, she could really be worthy of being a heroine among women.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Zheng was about to leave. Xiao Wu followed behind and carried a small baggage. His errands were also finished.
Fang Zheng stood up and cupped his hands and said, "It's really an honor for me to meet Sister Feng today. I will definitely come back to bother you when I have time someday."
Sister Feng also stood up and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak when the words came to her lips.
Fang Zheng was not blind. Of course he could see that Sister Feng still had something to say, so he said: "Sister Feng, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I am not very smart and I don't like to guess."
Sister Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Fang is so straightforward, sister, I won't be secretive. That's it, sister wanted to open another branch in the north of the city, and she took a fancy to a piece of land. After asking about it, it turned out that the land
It belongs to your family. My sister went to your Fang family's housekeeper Sun and wanted to buy it, but housekeeper Sun didn't agree, saying that the Fang family didn't want to sell the land and Mr. Fang wanted to leave it to his descendants. My sister was in a hurry, but it happened.
Young Master, you are here today. Young Master Fang, my sister knows that your Fang family has a big business and this land is dispensable to the Fang family, but my sister hopes to buy it and open a semicolon. Do you think you can do it?
Can you give me some care for my sister? The price is easy to talk about, sister, I am willing to pay 20% more to buy it."
So that's it, Fang Zheng understood, I asked you why you are so enthusiastic towards me, you are asking for something from me after you have been making trouble for a long time.
In Fang Zheng's opinion, this was not a big deal, and it would be over if he sold it to her. At that moment, Fang Zheng promised to ask Butler Sun later, and then led Xiao Wu back home.
