Chapter 64 General Fu is here to make a fool of himself
"Your Majesty loves me so much. He has rewarded me with so many beauties and money, but I have nothing in return."
"The cosmetics shop will open tomorrow. Today, I will use the things I can get from the shop to honor Your Majesty and all the ladies in the palace..."
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes widened when he looked at these strange things.
Not to mention the makeup and powder, the soap and soft mirror are something I have never seen or heard of.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the light blue translucent soap and the delicate soft mirror with eyes filled with wonder.
Fu Chenan took out another wooden frame from the box, put the soft mirror into the delicate wooden frame in front of His Majesty, and buttoned it.
"That way you won't have to worry about it falling out and getting damaged."
The serving father-in-law handed the palm-sized mirror to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty took the mirror and looked around. Not to mention, the person in the mirror was quite majestic!
The ministers looked at each other, thinking that Fu Chenan was here to make a fool of himself. Who knew that the Holy One was actually interested in those things? !
Look at the time I spent looking in the mirror, half a stick of incense has passed, and I’m still looking at it!
Some minister couldn't hold back his throat itching and coughed.
His Majesty the Emperor came back to his senses, put down the mirror reluctantly, and sneered: "It's quite special..."
As he spoke, he looked at Fu Chenan again: "Where did you come from?"
Fu Chenan told the story of "saving a Western businessman from bandits" that he had compiled before.
"He never came to the capital before. He always did business in the south."
"The first time I came to Daliang, he was robbed by bandits. After I rescued him by fate, he never came again. This is the first time I have set foot in the capital..."
Anyway, the group of bandits who robbed Qian Laoguai had committed many evil deeds and had already been hacked to death by Fu Chen's security department. Who could tell clearly that there was no evidence of their death?
His Majesty the Emperor did not have too many doubts. Nowadays, each country is in charge of its own affairs, and the south by the sea is the territory of Southern Guangdong.
Then the Western merchants probably opened the way from southern Guangdong to Daliang, right?
He asked his father-in-law to send the powder and mirrors to various palaces, but he only kept a piece of soap and a mirror.
Seeing that the ministers were all curious, His Majesty the Emperor simply passed the mirror around to the ministers in turn.
The ministers were also shocked when they saw the mirror that could reflect people's details.
After living for decades, they saw their appearance so clearly for the first time!
It turns out that I already have so many spots and wrinkles on my face...
The ministers were both curious and melancholy.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't feel it when he looked in the mirror just now. Now when he saw the ministers grinning in front of the mirror, he couldn't help but look weird.
Was I acting like this just now? !
Fortunately, Fu Chenan finished delivering the things and was about to leave.
Anyway, he had nothing serious to do in the court, and it would not be good to stay and delay the emperor and ministers' discussions.
The emperor took advantage of the situation and told him to leave.
The discussion lasted until noon, but before the matter was finished, His Majesty the Emperor left the ministers to have a light meal. The ministers were all flattered.
The father-in-law brought the wash basin and brought soap for His Majesty the Emperor to wash his hands.
Dragon claws stained with ink usually require vigorous scrubbing to clean them, but after using this soap today, a magical scene happened.
But after a little rubbing, the ink was washed away, and the dragon's claws were white and tender again!
The maid responsible for washing His Majesty’s hands was slightly surprised: “Your Majesty, this soap is really easy to use! Now it’s clean...”
The emperor, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and dozing, opened his eyes and looked at his white and tender hands. He was also extremely surprised: "It's really..."
There’s something special about this Western product!
For the first time, His Majesty the Emperor seriously thought about Fu Chenan opening a cosmetics shop. Did he open a cosmetics shop just to make money and live a good life?
Or for something else?
But his shop has just started, so let’s see...
In the afternoon, after the ministers finished their discussions and went home, they immediately called the matron of the house over.
"The Pig Butcher's powder shop will open tomorrow. You can bring your family members there to support you..."
The matrons of the house all expressed their disdain and knew better: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely send someone there..."
Buy one or two of these and see what kind of fool the butcher is making.
But the ministers were still uneasy and repeatedly warned: "It doesn't matter anything else. You must buy that mirror."
The housewife doesn’t understand: There are so many bronze mirrors in the house, what kind of mirror should I buy...
However, he still agreed: "I know! Master/Master Hou..."
Fu Chen'an returned home, and Qiu Yue just happened to come back to report the situation: "The wife of the Crown Prince of Ningyuan House refused to accept it, saying that she has been a widow for many years and has no use for these things..."
It turned out that Fu Chenan asked Qiuyue to send a box of various cosmetics and powders to the Ningyuan Marquis's wife, but the prince's wife refused.
Fu Chenan understood after thinking about it: a widowed woman would inevitably be criticized if she put on makeup and powder. She chose to keep a low profile and be patient, and she also needs to respect it.
So Fu Chenan asked Qiuyue to send a few boxes of moisturizer and two soft mirrors alone: "She thinks she can accept this, give it to her..."
Qiuyue did not leave immediately, but asked respectfully: "General, although it has not opened today, there are many people inquiring."
"I estimate that the items in the shop will not be enough to sell tomorrow."
"Do you need to bring some of the things stored in the house over in advance?"
Fu Chenan waved his hand: "No need, we'll talk about it after it's sold out tomorrow."
Qiuyue had no choice but to shut up and go deliver something to the Crown Prince's wife at Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
After Qiuyue left, Fu Chenan told his guards, "Don't let anyone enter my yard." Just as he was about to close the door, a woman's voice sounded outside the door: Bai Lu, who likes to cook, had brought food.
Fu Chenan wanted the guards to reject her, but suddenly he seemed to remember something: "Bring in the food."
Bai Lu had no hope at first, but suddenly she heard that the food was being brought in again, and she immediately became energetic.
A large food box was brought in. Before Bai Lu put the food out, Fu Chenan waved her out.
"Put the food down, you can go first. Just come back and collect the dishes at dinner time."
Bai Lu had to resign.
Fu Chenan picked up the food box and went to the Time and Space Supermarket again.
He always eats Miss Xiao’s food, and he also gives Miss Xiao some food to try...
I don't know since when, Fu Chenan always wanted to see Miss Xiao.
Sometimes there is something going on, and sometimes there is nothing going on but I still want to take a look.
As long as he met her and said a few words to her, his heart would be at peace.
In the supermarket, Xiao Yingchun had just sent Dai Hengxin away.
Dai Hengxin said that he hadn't seen Xiao Yingchun in recent days, so he came over to ask Xiao Yingchun if he had any good things.
Xiao Yingchun took the opportunity to take out the gold ingots he had promised to sell to Dai Hengxin.
