Chapter 433 Ah, I said that this lady and I just met by chance. Do you believe it?
"Brother Ji Chang's words make sense. We all just need to keep an eye on our own people and don't let some insignificant things in the family wander around -"
Cui Huancheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, nodded slightly, looked around at everyone, and reminded lightly.
"That's right, without the participation of people like us, how many waves can those rotten old Confucians stir up? No need to worry - gone, gone - I heard that a new group of young ladies have arrived at Wanhua Building
, all of them look like flowers and jade, and are very tender..."
A middle-aged man with a round figure patted his belly and extended an invitation cheerfully.
"Today I will be the host——"
"Brother Bo Cheng, you are still as heroic as ever - but a group of young ladies have indeed arrived at Wanhua House recently. I heard that several of them are not only outstanding in beauty, but also talented in playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It’s not to be missed…”
A man with a clear face took over the conversation with a smile, and his words were quite emotional.
"So, you can't miss it—there's nothing going on, why don't we all go have a drink?"
A few people hit it off immediately and walked out briskly.
As soon as people arrived on the street, they were dumbfounded.
The overwhelming red banners burst into view!
…
Today's Datang Evening News also arrived as scheduled.
It has only been a while since the people of Datang became accustomed to the existence of Datang Evening News.
Listen to "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", read the gossip, pay attention, and spread the word about which stores above are offering promotions.
The indispensable item for the group of scholars gathered in Chang'an, waiting for the coming spring, is to gather together to discuss the government affairs mentioned in the Tang Evening News.
They had discussed it before, but it was not so convenient. After all, not everyone could read the newspaper.
This is not the case with Datang Evening News. One penny can give people a sneak peek.
And the content is very rich.
"To establish a heart for the heaven and the earth, to establish a destiny for the living people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations is so ambitious and courageous. But dear friends, what is this natural magazine? I look outside, and it is overwhelming.
This Nature magazine ad—"
A scholar who got up a little late and had just arrived outside to buy breakfast asked a few familiar scholars gathered in the lobby of the inn.
"Brother Lu, have you just come back from Wanhua Tower? You don't even know such big news——"
Immediately, some acquaintances started joking.
The young man called Brother Lu couldn't help laughing, patted his clothes and said with a smile.
"I would really like to go to Wanhua Tower to experience it for a long time, but unfortunately I am short of money and can't go. Why, does Brother Jin want to invite me to eat meat?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Wanhua Tower and the like are just used by everyone to be poor and talkative, but they are not something that poor scholars like them, who have to be very careful about their meals, can afford to go there.
"Guys, please tell me, who is this nature magazine? It has created such a big momentum——"
The middle-aged man named Brother Lu put down his breakfast and sat down without any pretense. While eating his breakfast, he asked several other scholars for news.
"It is a journal edited by Kong Jijiu and several other old gentlemen from the Imperial Academy. It is said that it comes out once a month and collects the articles and meanings of today's great scholars——"
As he spoke, the man known as Brother Jin raised a finely crafted book in his hand and raised it towards the informal Brother Lu.
"Quick, Brother Jin, let me take a look first -"
Having said this, the guy stuffed another mouthful of white flour steamed buns into his mouth.
Today, the most popular breakfast in Chang'an City is this, which is cheap, delicious and filling.
"This kind of good thing has created such a big buzz, and I don't know how much it will cost - I guess I can't afford it anyway. I hope Brother Jin can let me borrow one or two after reading it..."
As he spoke, he shook his head with regret.
Unexpectedly, after shaking my head halfway, I couldn't shake it anymore.
Because, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange expressions and trying their best to suppress their laughter.
"What's going on? Could it be that I made a mistake somewhere?"
While the guy was talking, he secretly wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. Could it be that he ate in a hurry just now and ate it on his face...
"Brother Lu, I told you before. Studying hard behind closed doors is not the answer. You have to get out and move around more -"
One of them, an older one, couldn't stand it anymore and smiled and shook his head.
"Although this book is good, it's not expensive - it's only eight cents per copy. If you have a clerical certificate from a county school or a government school, you can get one for free..."
ah--
Hearing this, Brother Lu, the scholar who was eating, couldn't help but froze his hands and opened his mouth in disbelief.
So, there is such a huge momentum outside, and there is a big write-up in the newspaper, just to sell half and half to give away, just to lose money and make a fuss?
He had heard that the advertising space in Datang Evening News was now worth almost a thousand words. Not to mention that this nature magazine actually occupied thousands of words.
And it is almost praised as the first great event for scholars since the saints established their schools.
"I knew you would react like this, we did the same at the beginning -"
Having said this, the middle-aged scholar named Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"When we read the Tang Evening News' praise, we were a little disapproving. It wasn't until we actually received this book for free and saw the classics and meanings of the great masters in the book that we really believed that this nature magazine was really a good one.
Founded with the intention of establishing a heart for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the living and the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and creating peace for all generations——"
As soon as the older Brother Jin finished speaking, he was picked up by a down-and-out man with slightly graying sideburns.
"I am over fifty years old, and I still believe that there really are such noble, sincere and kind people in this world——"
Don't talk about false benevolence and righteousness to win people's hearts.
This is all real money spent. If you have the ability, you can do this too——
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The man named Lu immediately stood up with breakfast in hand.
"Dear friends, where can I buy one? I'll buy one——"
"There's a newspaper store not far outside - it's free if you bring documents from the county school..."
Someone kindly reminded me.
The young scholar surnamed Lu smiled and thanked him, and went outside to buy a copy. The newspaper seller at the site saw his attire and knew that he was a scholar going to Beijing to take the exam, so he kindly reminded him.
"If you bring documents from a county school or a state school, you can get them for free..."
But I saw this young man, thanked him with a smile, stretched out his hand and took out eight copper coins and carefully lined them up on the counter.
"Bawen can buy this book, which is already a favor from your employer. How can I be so shameless and receive it for free——"
After saying that, he took the book and walked away.
The boy selling the newspaper was stunned for a long time before he shook his head and threw a few coins into a box on the counter.
"Isn't this guy stupid because of his reading? He's just leaving free books and not claiming them. Why should he spend money——"
Stories like this are happening in almost every corner of Chang'an.
When Wang Yan got the news, he almost vomited blood on the spot.
I just said that the Tang Evening News was just sensationalism and not elegant. People like myself could be as stable as Mount Tai as long as we grasped the right to speak about knowledge and classics. As a result, Renjia Nature Magazine came out.
Moreover, it is huge and free promotion!
This is burning money——
Listening to the servant's report, everyone was shocked and angry.
This volume says that the cost is around 70 or 80 yuan at least, and people are actually delivering it all over the street. Are they all idiots? Don't they have to live with it?
"Quickly, please invite the heads of Cui, Zheng, Li, and Lu to discuss important matters together -"
However, Cui Hong was not in the city yet, and by the time his servants rushed to Wangchuan Villa to invite him, it was already dark.
…
Wang Zi'an didn't know any of these things.
At this time, he was chatting happily with the beautiful woman next to him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more heated, the look in the corner of the woman's eyes became more and more charming. If this were to happen in the future, wouldn't it be time to invite the other party to the hotel?
Wang Zi'an sighed inwardly.
I don’t know whose beautiful woman this is, but the man in her family is really environmentally friendly.
Teasing is teasing, teasing is teasing, he really doesn't have the guts to go any further.
Mainly because he felt it was a bit uneconomical.
This is not a miserable past life, where you need to go fishing in a bar and have an instant carnival.
I am now the Marquis of the Founding County of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. I want status, prestige, money, and good looks. To put it bluntly, as long as I am willing, I can stand on the street and flirt with each other.
The young girls who are my concubines can be queued from Chengde Gate to Mingde Gate!
Worst of all, there is Pingkangfang who has the whole story——
They are all top-quality goods with first-class appearance.
Ah, with the craze for talented people in this era, and relying on my reputation as the number one talented person in Chang'an, if I go to such places, I am afraid that I will lose contact in vain, or maybe I can make a lot of money back...
The most important thing is that this era is really unfriendly to adulterers.
As long as you are caught, there will be no good ending——
Dip the pig cage at every turn.
It’s simply inhumane——
Unlike later generations, Pan Jinlian could stand up and angrily criticize Wu Dalang. If Wu Dalang was unwilling and dared to fight the adulterer, he would have to be mentally prepared to pay for the treatment and be in trouble.
Tsk tsk——
He shook his head regretfully and turned his attention to this rare beauty.
What a naturally charming person——
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw the young lady stopping gently and looking at a door with fiery eyes. Following the gaze of this beautiful woman, Prince An couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Ah, this——
Unconsciously, he walked to the front of his house.
Datang Beauty Shop!
He almost forgot that today is also the day when his own cosmetics are officially launched.
In the east city of Chang'an City, the most prosperous place, six stores opened at once.
The decoration designs of these six doors are all done by him.
Now that he has the skills of a master painter, he can directly draw the decoration style of the woman's cosmetics in his previous life.
If nothing else, just highlight one word.
trench!
Brilliant——
The floor is covered with exquisite Persian carpets, the walls are covered with dazzling gold foil, and the furniture is all rosewood. There is a dedicated maid next to it, making tea there, and in a corner beside it, someone is burning incense and playing the piano.
The lingering sound makes people feel empty, quiet and elegant in a room full of wealth.
On the shelf next to it, each exquisite small porcelain bottle or glass bottle is inlaid with luminous pearls that emit a hazy white light!
The entire large store is beautiful, giving you a high-end and classy feeling as soon as you enter.
Even if you ask for a hundred guan, you can't think it's expensive.
If you ask if there are any promotions or discounts, you will feel embarrassed.
Nowadays, even standing outside the store, you can feel that business is booming.
Everywhere he looked, there were young women dressed in luxurious clothes and walking lightly.
There is no need for advertising. After all, the ladies and wealthy ladies in Chang'an City have been looking forward to whitening and beautifying their skin for a long time. It is said that it also has the effect of preventing aging——
It’s hard not to be tempted!
"Madam, would you like to go in and take a look - I heard that the cosmetics here can not only whiten and nourish the skin, but also effectively prevent aging..."
Wang Zi'an promoted his products very enthusiastically.
Ah, there is no way, the other party looks rich at first glance, and he is a very rich kind. If nothing else, as far as Wang Zian can see, the jade hairpin he can see must be worth hundreds of dollars.
.
That outfit looks like the latest and most expensive Sichuan Yun brocade from Chang'an City this winter.
Not to mention the fur on his body, which is all white with no trace of color.
It would be a crime not to give such a customer a huge sum of money——
"Ah, are you going to give me cosmetics now?"
Seeing that Wang Zi'an was not only affectionate and interesting, but also understood women's thoughts, the lady in front of her thought to herself, her eyes were so warm that they were about to drip with water, and she said thank you in a gentle voice.
She has seen this kind of scene many times.
Although she didn't care about the small amount of money, and she wouldn't let herself get the impression of being greedy for petty gains in the mind of this handsome and handsome young man, she still felt a little confused in her heart.
Informed, interesting and beautiful——
It's not like that little guy from my family, who knows that being an official and making money is simply boring.
"OK--"
The lady smiled.
Wang Zi'an suddenly rang out a poem that would become popular in later generations.
Looking back, you can smile and be charming, the pink and black in the Sixth Palace are colorless.
This woman is simply a witch——
Ah, no, I’ll have to make a killing later!
When did a women’s cosmetics store lose the presence of men acting as wallets?
Therefore, Wang Zi'an's appearance did not feel unexpected at all.
The only thing that was a little bit unexpected was that this man was a little too handsome. As for the voluptuous, dignified and charming lady following him, the women in the store couldn't help but feel excited.
He spit.
I cursed secretly in my heart, Hu Meizi!
"Madam, look here. This moisturizer not only collects the essence of thirteen kinds of plants, but also uses the precious Ganoderma lucidum as the extract and the pearl mill powder from the South China Sea as the base. It has the functions of whitening and nourishing the skin, resisting aging, and has long-term maintenance benefits.
The effect of youth, even the bottle outside, is made of exquisite glass, and a bottle only sells for 500 guan, so you can really make money after buying it..."
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he held up a bottle of moisturizer on the counter with an admiring look on his face and placed it in front of the lady beside him.
