Chapter 57: Crying Poor to the Emperor

The entire court was stunned again: "..."

The families of ministers all had some businesses, but most of them were managed by concubines or mistresses, so how could a general of the dynasty personally go out to do business? !

And you're bringing this up in the Imperial Palace?!
Isn't this embarrassing?

His Majesty's face turned completely black, and he said sinisterly: "I wonder what kind of business Fu Qing's family wants to do?"

If it was salt, iron or other things, he would not be able to suppress his murderous intent.

Fu Chenan chuckled: "I want to do some business in jewelry, rouge and powder that women like..."

The emperor and his ministers were all: "..."

His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he laughed: "You still have this ability?"

Fu Chenan replied with a bashful look on his face: "I don't know how to choose these things for women, but didn't you give me sixteen beauties? They must know."

"I have no capital. Your Majesty, can you lend me some? I promise to pay you back this year..."

The emperor and his ministers were all: "..."

The person was given by His Majesty, but I still need to borrow money from His Majesty? !

This business...is very profitable with no investment!

Today is destined to be a day that will shock Fu Chenan.

In the end, the Emperor felt embarrassed to lend money to Fu Chenan, so he simply rewarded him with another 500 taels of silver.

Seeing Fu Chenan taking the silver and returning to his seat contentedly, all the civil and military officials in the court were collectively convinced.

To be able to be so shameless... Fu Chenan is amazing.

When the court was dismissed, Fu Chenan took the sixteen beauties home again.

The sixteen beauties were all worried: they heard that the Marshal's Mansion had no money for food. If they followed them, would they not have enough food and warm clothes?

Fu Chenan, however, didn't seem to care at all. He first asked the sixteen beauties to stay in the yard, and he did so with confidence.

"There's no money at home, so don't make any snacks. Just ask someone to make something filling."

"Once I find a way to make money, I will help you get rich!"

The sixteen beauties returned to their own yards in panic, but Fu Chenan closed the door of the yard and entered the Space-Time Supermarket.

Xiao Yingchun was guarding the shop when she suddenly saw Fu Chenan coming 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 and asked, "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 a lot of them. What kind do you want?"

Fu Chenan was completely clueless about this: "I don't know anything. Can you take a look at what's suitable? I'll bring some back for them to see?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Wait a minute, I'll go out and buy some of everything, and come back in half an hour."

Fu Chenan agreed: "Okay, I'll come back in half an hour."

Xiao Yingchun grabbed the car keys and went out, heading straight for the pedestrian street.

There is a chain of affordable cosmetics brands over there, and she plans to go there and get some things to show Fu Chenan.

An hour later, Xiao Yingchun came back with a bag of various things.

A 5ml white jar of vitamin B moisturizing and repairing cream, an eyebrow pencil sharpened with a knife, ancient rouge (can be used as blush and lipstick), ancient foundation cream...

A lot of jingles.

Fu Chenan went back to the Marshal's Mansion and had lunch. Not long after he came back, Xiao Yingchun came in. Looking at the big bag of jingling in front of him, Fu Chenan was completely at a loss: "How do I use all this?"

Xiao Yingchun didn't explain, she just took out all those things and laid them out on the table one by one: "I'll show you."

Although Xiao Yingchun basically doesn't wear makeup since she returned home to work in the supermarket, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to wear makeup at all.

While using it, Xiao Yingchun told Fu Chenan how to use it.

Fu Chenan was dazzled.

When Xiao Yingchun finished work, Fu Chenan's eyes widened.

This... is like a completely different person!

Although Xiao Yingchun is pretty and delicate without makeup, but with makeup... she looks as beautiful as a fairy!
Seeing him in a daze, Xiao Yingchun couldn't help but ask, "Did you understand?"

Fu Chenan nodded and shook his head, and after a moment he said, "Although I don't really understand, but if I give these things to ordinary women who know how to dress up, they should be able to use them, right?"

Xiao Yingchun thought about it and nodded: "It should be fine."

After all, it’s not as high-tech as magnetic false eyelashes. They are all applied to the face, and the same is true in ancient and modern times. How complicated can it be?
Fu Chenan nodded directly: "It's this big jar. It's easy to be exposed if we use this one. We need to change it to a porcelain box like this... Everything else is easy."

Xiao Yingchun understood immediately: the big bottle is vitamin B5 moisturizer, packaged in a plastic bottle, a large 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 custom-made porcelain boxes online and said, "Look at this. Can I split a large bottle into ten boxes and sell them like this?"

Looking at the exquisite porcelain boxes of various 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 was relieved: "You can go find a shop first, decorate it, and then show these... to those beauties and ask them to try to put on makeup for you..."

Fu Chenan went back first with a bunch of cosmetics, but didn't take the moisturizer for the time being.

The courtyards where the beauties lived were connected, with eight beauties in each courtyard. At this moment, they were gathered together to discuss what to do next.

The beauties had little confidence in Fu Chenan's idea of ​​opening a cosmetics shop.

Let a man who carries a gun and fights in war do business with women?

Isn't this a joke?
But if I don't do business, do I really have to wait for the general to come to the palace every month to ask the emperor for money to support me? !

A beauty named Ruyi sighed and said, "If it doesn't work out, we can just follow Niu Shiniang and grow vegetables and raise chickens in the backyard?"

At least that way you won’t starve to death.

All the beauties sighed: It seems that this is the only way.

When they were first given here as a reward, the beauties thought they were here to enjoy a good life, but now they see that it’s all nonsense, they are here to be peasant wives.

When Fu Chenan knocked on the door and came in, the beauties all stood up and saluted: "Greetings, General."

But no one had the enthusiasm they had when they first came to the Marshal's Mansion.

Fu Chenan handed over a cloth bag: "This is something I got for women to dress up, you guys try it..."

He recalled the steps Xiao Yingchun took when putting on makeup, and showed them to the beauties one by one.

"This is for the mouth and cheeks... rouge?"

"This is for the face. It can even out your skin tone."

"This is for drawing eyebrows and eyelashes..."

The beauties were amazed when they saw the exquisite porcelain boxes and the eyebrow pencils.

The general actually prepared something for women to dress up as?!

They looked at each other for a while, and finally agreed.
