Chapter 57: Looking for the emperor to cry for poverty
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned again: "..."
The ministers all had some property in their families, but most of them were run by concubines or mistresses, so how could any general of the dynasty do business in person? !
Are you taking this matter to the Jinluan Palace? !
Isn’t this embarrassing?
His Majesty the Emperor's face turned completely dark, and he spoke sadly: "I wonder what kind of business Fu Qing's family wants to do?"
If it were salt, iron, etc., he would be unable to suppress his murderous intent.
Fu Chenan chuckled: "I want to do some jewelry, rouge and gouache business that women like..."
All the kings and ministers of the court said: "..."
His Majesty the Emperor laughed angrily: "Do you still have this ability?"
Fu Chenan replied with a frown on his face: "The general doesn't understand how to choose these things for women, but didn't you give the general sixteen beauties? They must understand."
"I have no capital. Can your Majesty lend me some capital? I promise to return it to you this year..."
All the kings and ministers of the court said: "..."
Your Majesty gave you the person, but you still need to borrow the money from Your Majesty? !
This business is done... without any capital and huge profits!
Today is the day that Fu Chenan is destined to be shocked.
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor was too embarrassed to lend money to Fu Chenan, so he simply rewarded him with another five hundred taels of silver.
Seeing Fu Chenan holding the money and returning to his position with satisfaction, the civil and military officials in the court were all convinced.
Being able to be so shameless... Fu Chenan is amazing.
At the next court, Fu Chenan led sixteen beauties home.
The sixteen beauties were all worried: I heard that the Marshal's Mansion had no money for food. If they followed there, would they not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm?
But Fu Chenan didn't seem to care at all. He first let the sixteen beauties stay in the yard, and he felt confident.
"The family has no money, so don't make any snacks. Just make something that can satisfy people."
"When this general finds a way to make money, I will take you to make a fortune right away!"
The sixteen beauties returned to their yard with fear, but Fu Chenan closed the yard door and entered the time and space supermarket.
Xiao Yingchun was guarding the shop when she suddenly saw Fu Chenan come in. She looked at Fu Chenan in surprise: "Why are you here in the afternoon?"
Fu Chenan grinned: "I'm here to discuss business with you."
"Ah?" Xiao Yingchun stood up quickly: "What business?"
Fu Chenan explained what happened from last night to noon today. Xiao Yingchun's eyes lit up: "We have these things! There are many more. What kind do you want?"
Fu Chenan didn't understand this aspect at all: "I don't understand anything. You can see what is suitable, and I can bring some back to show them?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Then wait a minute. I'll go out and buy some of all kinds. I'll be back in half an hour."
Fu Chenan agreed: "Okay, then I'll come back in half an hour."
Xiao Yingchun grabbed the car keys and went out, heading straight to the pedestrian street.
There was a chain of cheap cosmetics brands there, and she was going to go there to get some things and show them to Fu Chenan.
An hour later, Xiao Yingchun came back carrying a bag of various things.
A 500 ml white jar of vitamin B5 moisturizing and repairing cream, a sharpened eyebrow pencil, ancient rouge (can be used as blush and lipstick), ancient foundation...
A lot of tinkling.
Fu Chenan went back to the Marshal's Mansion and came back after a long lunch. Xiao Yingchun came in not long after waiting. Looking at the big jingling bag in front of him, Fu Chenan was at a loss: "How to use these?"
Xiao Yingchun didn't explain anything, just took out all the things and laid them out one by one on the table: "I'll show you."
Although Xiao Yingchun has basically not put on makeup since returning home to guard the supermarket, this does not mean that she does not know how to put on makeup at all.
Xiao Yingchun told Fu Chenan how to use it while using it.
Fu Chenan was dazzled.
When Xiao Yingchun finished work, Fu Chenan's eyes widened.
This...it's like a different person!
Although Xiao Yingchun is very delicate and good-looking when she is not wearing makeup, but with makeup... she is as beautiful as a fairy!
Xiao Yingchun saw that he was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Do you understand?"
Fu Chenan nodded and shook his head, and after a while he said: "Although I don't understand it very well, but if these things are given to women who usually know how to dress up, they should be able to use them, right?"
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while and nodded: "It should be no problem."
After all, it’s not high-tech like magnetic false eyelashes, which are applied to the face. It’s the same in ancient and modern times. How complicated is it?
Fu Chenan nodded directly: "It's this big can, it's easy to wear. I need to change it to a porcelain box like this... Everything else is easy to say."
Xiao Yingchun instantly understood: The big jar is vitamin B5 moisturizing cream, which is packed in a plastic bottle. The big bottle is 500 ml. It is practical, but it was not available in Fu Chenan's dynasty, so this would not work.
Xiao Yingchun looked for pictures of customized porcelain boxes on the Internet: "Look at this. Is it okay to split a large bottle into ten boxes and sell it?"
Looking at the exquisite porcelain boxes with different colors, Fu Chenan seemed to have opened the door to a new world: "This is so beautiful! I have never seen it before. It will definitely work!"
Xiao Yingchun felt relieved: "If you do this, you first go to a shop and decorate it, and then you show these... to those beauties and ask them to try their makeup on you..."
Fu Chenan went back first with a lot of cosmetics, leaving aside the moisturizer for now.
The courtyards where the beauties live are connected, and eight beauties live in one courtyard. At this time, they are gathering together to discuss what to do next.
Beauties don't have much confidence in Fu Chen'an's idea of opening a makeup store.
Let a big man who carries a gun and fights in the war do a woman's business?
Isn't this a joke?
But if you don’t do business, do you really have to wait for the general to come to the palace every month to find the emperor to support yourself? !
A beauty named Ruyi sighed: "If it doesn't work out, how about we follow Niu Shiniang to grow vegetables and raise chickens in the backyard?"
That way you won't starve to death.
All the beauties sighed together: It seems that this is all.
When they were gifted here, the beauties thought they were here to enjoy blessings, but now they saw that Wan Duzi was here to be a peasant wife.
When Fu Chenan knocked on the door and came in, the beauties all stood up and saluted: "I have seen the general."
It's just that everyone no longer has the enthusiasm they had when they first came to the Marshal's Mansion.
Fu Chen'an handed over a cloth bag: "This is something I got for women to dress up. You can try it..."
While recalling the steps of Xiao Yingchun's makeup, he gave instructions to the beauties one by one.
"This is for applying rouge on your mouth and face?"
"This is for the face. It can even out the skin tone."
"This is for eyebrows and eyelashes..."
The beauties were surprised when they looked at the exquisite porcelain boxes and the eyebrow pencil.
Did the general really prepare things for women to dress up? !
They looked at each other for a while, and finally agreed.
