Chapter 62 Western Merchants
Fu Chenan took the packed porcelain boxes away and brought them back to show Ruyi and Qiuyue first.

A row of porcelain boxes were lined up in a row, and their lids were opened one by one and placed on top. The two beautiful maids were amazed after seeing them.

"The ones I brought back last time didn't seem to have so many colors, nor were they so exquisite. Why are they so exquisite this time?"

Fu Chenan smiled and said, "I have already made an agreement with the merchant. He is willing to help me customize the porcelain boxes for packaging. From now on, our Tao Tao Ji cosmetics will be packaged in this unique porcelain box."

Ruyi and Qiuyue were stunned: Who said General Fu can't do business?

Look at this exquisite porcelain box?

Look at the conspicuous words "Tao Tao Ji"?
Look at this colorful lip balm...

Either one can make a woman unable to move her legs or let go of her hands!
If they were just brave enough before, Ruyi and Qiuyue now have real confidence.

They are all women, and the ones used by the ladies in the palace before were not as exquisite as these!

Who can resist this attraction?!

The two beautiful maids looked at each other and bowed solemnly: "With such a good thing, we two sisters must do a good job in making Tao Tao Ji's business!"

Fu Chenan waved his hand and said, "You two take these things back and try them out a lot to see which color of lip balm and foundation looks better on which person..."

Xiao Yingchun once said that everyone should use different colors of lip balm and foundation because of their different clothing, skin color and even facial features.

Fu Chenan wanted to learn it, but Xiao Yingchun said, "It's impossible to explain it to you. Just give it to the beauties at home, and they will understand."

Sure enough, the two beautiful maids took these things away, both with smiles on their faces.

Such a good thing, they can be the first to use it, the first to try it...

If this skill is mastered, won't the ladies of wealthy families and noble girls ask for advice in various ways just to look good and save face?
A day later, the personal guards reported: Qian Laoguai had been found and settled in a courtyard outside the capital.

Fu Chenan made up his mind: "Let's go find him."

In the shabby courtyard, Qian Laoguai, who was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt and had a wrinkled face, smiled flatteringly: "General Fu, I am late, please forgive me."

Fu Chenan waved his hand: "You're welcome. I asked someone to find you because of something..."

Qian Laoguai bowed deeply again and said, "It is my blessing that the general can use me. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation."

Fu Chenan smiled and glanced at Qian Laoguai: "It doesn't have to be that serious. Is your family okay?"

When talking about this, Qian Laoguai bowed again: "I would also like to thank General Fu for saving our family of five, otherwise we would have been dead by now..."

Qian Laoguai and his family of five formed a theatre troupe and performed magic tricks to barely make a living.

Who knew that a few years ago he encountered bandits who took a fancy to Qian Laoguai's daughter-in-law and wanted to kidnap her to be his concubine.

The Qian family naturally disagreed, and the two sides fought fiercely. Qian Laoguai and his family were all injured and were about to be defeated and beaten to death on the spot.

Fu Chenan, who was hunting, was like a god descending from heaven and saved their family.

Fu Chenan also gave a wild sheep he hunted to the family as medical expenses for their injuries.

Qian Laoguai said at that time that he would repay Fu Chenan with a gift of grass and a ring.

Later, Qian Laoguai asked his son to send a cart of mountain products, saying that his son had now become a hunter and settled down in the mountains, and no longer traveled around the country performing for a living.

This time, Fu Chenan specially asked someone to find Qian Laoguai. Qian Laoguai thought that he was going to work hard to repay the favor, so he arranged all the family affairs and came to the capital alone.

Fu Chenan first took out a set of exquisite porcelain boxes and opened them one by one to show Qian Laoguai.

Qian Laoguai was a little stunned: he could probably guess what kind of precious thing this was, but why was he showing it to him?
Fu Chenan did not keep anyone in suspense and told Qian Laoguai that he was going to open a store.

Qian Laoguai was a smart guy and understood immediately: "You want me to play the role of a Western merchant and supply goods to your shop?"

Fu Chenan nodded: "Yes." "But I don't look like a Western businessman at all..." Qian Laoguai pointed to his wrinkled face.

Fu Chenan smiled: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."

An hour later, Qian Laoguai was dumbfounded when he looked at his red hair and blue eyes in the bronze mirror.

This method is too clever!

Fu Chenan explained: "Once you dye your hair red, you can't turn it back to black. You can take off your contact lenses at any time. You also need to adjust your posture..."

When Qian Laoguai was in a theatre troupe, he often put on makeup and was very familiar with this kind of thing.

Although contact lenses are rare, they are not difficult to use and he quickly adapted to them.

Two people were talking, one was talking while the other was listening. The one talking was serious and the one listening was even more serious.

After Fu Chenan finished his explanation, he handed over a set of white Western businessman's robe, and Qian Laoguai put it on immediately.

When he turned around and saluted Fu Chenan, Fu Chenan's eyes flashed with surprise: It feels like that.

After the two of them had discussed it, Fu Chenan left.

The personal guards also took Qian Laoguai with them to make other arrangements.

Half a month later, the decoration of Tao Tao Ji was basically completed. The unique decoration stunned everyone.

It would be fine if the counter was just a natural wood color, but why is the top open?

If there are three hands coming to steal, how can we prevent it?
Although Ruyi and Qiuyue don’t understand, they believe in General Fu!
They have secretly used up all the cosmetics.

The cosmetics were so easy to use that they began to trust General Fu, who got them.

The dock on the Yudai River was filled with merchant ships as usual, and laborers were busy moving the goods.

There was a sudden commotion on one of the boats.

Everyone heard the noise and looked over, they were all stunned.

I saw a thin old man with a big nose, red hair and blue eyes getting off the boat.

Because the appearance was so unique, everyone was stunned.

Someone whispered to his companion: "Is this the ghost messenger from the underworld?"

They had only seen clay sculptures of underworld messengers with red hair and big noses in temples.

The other one hesitated: "I haven't heard that the ghost messenger has blue eyes?"

A man who looked like a manager took a serious look and sneered, "What ghost messenger? It's broad daylight, the sun is up there, how can a ghost messenger come out?"

"Besides, look at that shadow? Have you ever seen a ghost messenger with a shadow?"

"What is that?" Everyone looked at the manager.

The steward was the focus of everyone's attention, and his vanity was instantly greatly satisfied. He stroked his beard with a proud look on his face.

"Those are Western merchants! They come here from overseas by ship to buy and sell goods..."

"Their appearance is similar to that of the ghost messenger. Some have red hair, some have yellow hair, and some have white hair. There are fewer people with black hair."

"And the eyes. There are grey eyes, green eyes, blue eyes... and few black eyes."

Everyone suddenly realized: It turned out to be a Western businessman from overseas! ?
