Chapter 64 General Fu is here to make a fool of himself

"Your Majesty loves me so much that he has rewarded me with so many beauties and silver. I have no way to repay you."

"The cosmetics shop will open tomorrow. Today, I will present the best things in the shop to His Majesty and the ladies in the palace..."

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes widened as he looked at these strange things.

Not to mention cosmetics, the soap and soft mirror were something I had never seen or heard of before.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the light blue translucent soap and the soft mirror that showed every detail with amazement.

Fu Chenan took out a wooden frame from the box, put the soft mirror into the exquisite wooden frame in front of His Majesty, and fastened it.

"That way you don't have to worry about it falling out and getting damaged."

The serving eunuch handed a palm-sized mirror to the Emperor. The Emperor looked at himself in the mirror and found that the person in the mirror was quite majestic!

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought Fu Chenan was here to make a fool of himself. Who knew that His Majesty would actually be attracted to those things? !

Look at the time I spend looking in the mirror. Half an incense stick has passed, and I'm still looking!
One of the ministers had an itchy throat and couldn't help coughing.

His Majesty the Emperor came back to his senses, reluctantly put the mirror down, and smiled awkwardly: "It's quite special..."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Chenan again: "Where did you get this thing from?"

Fu Chenan told the story he had made up earlier about "rescuing a Western merchant from bandits."

"He never came to the capital before. He always did business in the south."

"The first time he came to Daliang, he was robbed by bandits. After I saved him by chance, he never came again. This is his first time to set foot in the capital..."

Anyway, the gang of bandits who robbed Qian Laoguai committed many evil things and were hacked to death by Fu Chen's security department. There is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing, so who can tell?

His Majesty the Emperor did not have too many doubts. Now each country is independent of itself, and the southern coastal area is the territory of the Kingdom of Nanyue.

Those Western merchants probably opened up the passage from Nanyue to Daliang?

She ordered her eunuch to deliver the cosmetics and mirrors to each palace, and only kept a bar of soap and a mirror for herself.

Seeing that the ministers were all curious, His Majesty the Emperor simply passed the mirror to the ministers in turn.

The ministers were also shocked to see the mirror that could reflect a person in every detail.

After living for decades, they saw their own faces 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 surprised and melancholy.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't notice anything when he looked at himself in the mirror just now, but now when he saw his ministers grinning at themselves in the mirror, he couldn't help but look strange.

Was I like this just now?!
Fortunately, Fu Chenan was about to say goodbye and leave after delivering the things.

Anyway, he didn't have anything important to do in the court, and it would not be good to stay and delay the emperor and ministers' discussions.

The emperor took the opportunity to ask him to leave.

The meeting lasted until noon, and the matter was not yet concluded. His Majesty the Emperor invited the ministers to have a simple meal, and the ministers were flattered.

The eunuch brought a wash basin and soap for the Emperor to wash his hands.

The dragon claws stained with ink usually need to be scrubbed hard to be clean, but after using this soap today, a magical scene appeared.

But after a slight rubbing, the ink was washed off, and the dragon claws became white and tender again!
The maid who was in charge of washing His Majesty's hands was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, this soap is really easy to use! It washes your hands clean right away..."

The emperor, who had been sitting there pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at his white and tender hands. He was also extremely surprised: "It really is..."

This Western product is quite good!

For the first time, 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 been opened, so we'll have to wait and see...

In the afternoon, after the ministers finished their meeting, they went home and immediately called the mistress of the house.

"The butcher's cosmetics shop will open tomorrow. Bring your women to show your support..."

The mistresses all expressed disdain and knew what was going on: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely send someone..."

Buy one or two and take a look at what the butcher is doing.

The ministers were still worried and repeatedly reminded him: "It doesn't matter what else, but you must buy that mirror."

The mistress of the house didn't understand: There are so many bronze mirrors at home, why buy a mirror...

But she still agreed: "I know! Master/Marquis..."

When Fu Chenan returned home, Qiuyue also came back and reported the situation: "The wife of the Ningyuan Marquis's son 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 ointments to the wife of the Crown Prince of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, but the wife refused.

Fu Chenan understood it after thinking about it: a widowed woman would inevitably be criticized if she put on makeup, and she chose to be low-key and tolerant, so she should also be respected.

So Fu Chenan asked Qiuyue to send a few boxes of moisturizer and two soft mirrors separately: "I think she can accept this, send it to her..."

Qiuyue did not leave immediately, but respectfully asked: "General, although we haven't opened yet, many people have inquired about it."

"I don't think the things we have in the shop will be enough to sell tomorrow."

"Do we need to move some of the things stored in the mansion over here in advance?"

Fu Chenan waved his hand: "No need, we'll talk about it after we sell them out tomorrow."

Qiuyue had no choice but to shut up and go deliver something to the wife of the Crown Prince at the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion.

After Qiuyue left, Fu Chenan instructed his guards "Don't let anyone enter my yard". Just as he was about to close the door, a woman's voice was heard outside: Bailu, who likes to cook, brought food.

Fu Chenan wanted to ask his guards to reject her, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and said, "Bring the food in."

Bai Lu had lost hope at first, but when she heard someone ask her to deliver the food, she immediately perked up.

A large food box was brought in, and before Bai Lu put the food out, Fu Chenan waved his hand and asked her to leave.

"Put down the food and go first. You can come back to collect the dishes when dinner is ready."

Bai Lu had no choice but to leave.

Fu Chenan picked up the lunch box and went to the Space-Time Supermarket again.

Always eating Miss Xiao's food, and also giving some food to Miss Xiao to try...

I don’t know when it started, but Fu Chenan always wanted to go see Miss Xiao.

Sometimes there is something going on, and sometimes there is nothing going on, but I still want to go and take a look.

As long as he saw 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 for several days, so he came over specifically to ask Xiao Yingchun if she had any good things.

Xiao Yingchun took the opportunity to take out the gold ingot that she had promised to sell to Dai Hengxin.
