Chapter 5 Sister Feng

Fang Zheng finally saw the appearance of the capital of the Huachao Jinling. Fang Mansion is located at the intersection of Dagongfang and Huashi Street. There are people coming and going on the bustling streets, teahouses, wine shops, street vendors selling on the roadside, arts-selling men, old men playing monkeys, coolies pulling carts, nobles riding horses, patrolling officers and soldiers, and the bustling cars create an illusion of a peaceful and prosperous era. "The city is full of pearls, the households are full of silk, and the competition is luxurious." In this scene before him, who can believe that the Huachao is now full of internal and external troubles, and is full of scars everywhere?

Fang Zheng is an urban youth from the 21st century. In those days, planes were buzzing and cars were running around happily. There were dozens or hundreds of floors of high buildings everywhere, and the beauties on the street were dressed less than the other. In other words, Master Fang was a person who had seen the world.

Therefore, although there was a prosperous scene in front of him, he really felt that it was nothing in his eyes. Despite this, Fang Zheng was still looking around in a daze along the way. In this strange era, he had to observe carefully, learn, experience, and fully integrate himself in so that he could survive better.

"Xiao Wu, what are you going to buy?" Fang Zheng was a little excited after walking around for a while, and then he remembered to ask Xiao Wu.

"Back to the young master..."

"Okay, okay, I'll say, can you not be so polite? Why do I ask, you always have to say 'Reply to the young master'? There are only two of us here. You are not talking to me, would you tell me?" Fang Zheng interrupted Xiao Wu impatiently.

"Yes, Mr. Hui... Uh, Butler Liu ordered the villain to buy some rouge powder for the maids and sisters in the East Courtyard. I heard that this was what the wife told him."

"Those maids even have to buy the rouge and water powder they use for them?" Fang Zheng felt that the maids in the East Courtyard were very relaxed. They had basically nothing else to do except to serve the master's wife to wash and eat. Unexpectedly, their welfare was so good. My father and mother were really kind businessmen.

"The young master misunderstood. This is what the wife specifically rewarded them. The wife said that the young master can wake up, and they have made great contributions to serving them day and night."

Tsk! I can wake up, that's because my character is outbreak, they have nothing to do with it! Fang Zheng thought hatefully.

"Oh, I'll buy Xiaolu's rouge for her later." This personal maid is so arrogant that she gives her something to see if she can change her attitude. At least, you have to smile a little, right? Don't you advocate "smile service" these days?

After walking and stopping, the two of them arrived at Huashi Street.

The place is becoming more and more prosperous, with merchants coming from south to north gathering here. The originally spacious road seems a bit crowded. Most people are like street vendors in later generations, laying a piece of felt on the ground and then putting goods on it. Even if the small business is open, there is no need to worry about urban management to buy stalls. As long as you don’t block the door of the roadside shops, you can set up other places at will.

Fang Zheng couldn't help feeling intimate when he looked at these stalls. In his previous life, he often wandered around these stalls. If he had some extra money in his hand, he would buy some things on the stalls. Over the years, he had gained a lot, but most of them were 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. He walked around and the sun was about to set. Fang Zheng also gained a lot. They were all useless things, including the phoenix hairpin used by women, an old ginseng that was said to be hundreds of years old, a bronze chamber pot carved with *, etc.

When he finally arrived at the door of the Rouge Noodle Shop, it was already completely dark. The shopkeeper was about to close. Xiao Wu hurried forward, gestured to the shopkeeper, and then turned around and pointed at Fang Zheng, as if introducing Master Fang to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is a young woman, who is 25 or 26 years old, but her dress is a bit exaggerated.

Maybe to hide her actual age, or to promote her own shop, her face was filled with thick gouache, and her face was as white as a female corpse that had just been caught from the water. That was not the end, and she applied two balls of bright red rouge to her scary white face. Perhaps in her eyes, her dress was pretty.

However, this look still has its shortcomings. She couldn't laugh. The gouache couldn't hold on her face when she smiled and she had to fall down. This was considered a sign-up.

When the female shopkeeper saw Fang Zheng, his eyes lit up. He wanted to make a smile, but he found that it was inappropriate. The gouache on his face was about to fall off, so he had to say hello with a stern face, but his words were full of smiles: "Oh! It turns out that this is the young owner of the Fang family, and he has been revered for a long time."

The female shopkeeper didn't laugh, but Fang Zheng laughed. This woman made herself look like a ghost, and she was not afraid of scaring the customers. She put on a red wig and looked like a McDonald's uncle. She turned out to be the shopkeeper of the most famous Rouge shop in Beijing?

Fang Zheng bowed his hand casually and said with a smile: "Good, shopkeeper."

The female shopkeeper exaggeratedly and said, "Don't talk about the shopkeeper one by one, it's so good. Others call me Fengjie. If Young Master Fang doesn't dislike him, he will call me Fengjie from now on." After that, he gave a charming look at Fang Zheng.

Are I buying rouge or visiting kilns? Ancient women have been open to this level? Fang Zheng was a little depressed.

What’s even more depressing is that she has to be called Feng Jie. He remembered the Feng Jie in "Dream of Red Mansions". "The pink face is full of spring power and the red lips are not revealed before they smile." What a charm, but the person in front of him...

Fang Zheng turned his gaze unbearably and turned to Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, choose quickly. After the choice, go home for dinner. Master, I'm hungry."

Sister Feng said coquettishly: "Since Young Master Fang is here, why should you rush to leave? Why not have a cup of tea first and wait for your servant to choose slowly, okay?"

He asked "It's good", but his hands pulled Fang Zheng into the door and sat down, turned around and told the clerk to serve tea. His attitude was as enthusiastic as if she and Fang Zheng had been in a relationship for decades.

Fang Zheng was a little scared. This woman-like object treats me so enthusiastically. Could it be that he fell in love with my beauty at the young master? He looked at Sister Feng carefully. To be honest, he really couldn't see what she looked like, and his facial features were 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 exquisite small boxes on the wooden racks. There are only two mahogany chairs and an ancient coffee table outside the counter. There is a pot of flowers on the coffee table. It is very bright and comfortable, but elegant.

This female shopkeeper is a bit ugly, but her taste is quite good depending on the layout of the store.

Sister Feng sat down next to Fang Zheng and flew with charming eyes: "This is the first time Mr. Fang has come to the shop? I have heard of Mr. Fang's name for a long time, but I hate that I didn't meet him at first. Today I have fulfilled my wish."

Fang Zheng squeezed out a stiff smile and said, "That... Sister Feng, here, ah, little student, it's not right. I have heard about Sister Feng for a long time... What's the name?"

Feng Jie glanced at him and said angrily: "Sister's shop is called Ruyuzhai. Humph, I said I've heard it for a long time, and I don't know the name of the shop."

Fang Zheng scratched his head awkwardly. He was kind to say something, it would be bad if he was serious, and it would be too difficult for him to get out of Taiwan.

Fortunately, Feng Jie didn't get too entangled in this matter, and the two of them exchanged greetings and chatted. Although Feng Jie is a female, she has much more experience than ordinary men, and her words are quite macho and heroic. As she chatted, even Fang Zheng couldn't help but admire and make friends. If this Feng Jie was not dressed too shockingly, she would really be a hero in the female middle school.

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Zheng planned to say goodbye. Xiao Wu followed behind and brought a small baggage, and his errands were finished.

Fang Zheng stood up and bowed and said, "It is a great honor for me to know Sister Feng today. If you have time in the future, I will definitely come and disturb you again."

Sister Feng also stood up, her lips moved, as if she was about to say something, but she didn't speak at the end of her mouth.

Fang Zheng is not a blind man, of course he could see that Sister Feng had something to say, so he said, "Sister Feng, just say whatever you have. I am not very smart and don't like to guess."

Sister Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "My Master Fang is so straightforward, I won't hide my sister. That's right. My sister wants to open another semicolon in the north of the city. She took a fancy to a piece of land. When she asked, it turned out that the land belonged to your family. My sister had found the housekeeper Sun of your Fang family and wanted to buy it, but Mr. Sun did not agree, saying that the house Fang family would not sell the land, and Mr. Fang would leave it for future generations. Sister is anxious, but Mr. Fang, you are here today. Mr. Fang, sister knows that your family has a great family and this land is optional for the Fang family, but my sister is counting on buying it and opening a semicolon. Look, can you give me some care? The price is easy, sister, I am willing to buy it for 20% more."

So that's it. Fang Zheng understood. I said, why are you so enthusiastic about me? You have been asking me for a long time.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, this is not a big deal, so it's over to sell it to her. Fang Zheng agreed to turn around and ask Butler Sun, and then led Xiao Wu back home.
