Chapter 55 Rouge Makeup

=======================

Only three or two days after returning to the teacher's gate, Qi Zhong took a short rest before being ordered out of the Lin family by Lin Tang.

Before leaving, he thought it was just going to Chaisang Lu's house to give a wooden badge made of a century-old sandalwood tree, and it was not an important task, so he took the opportunity to stay on the road for a while, thinking about the past with his childhood friend. After the meeting, Qi finally made up his mind and changed his way to Luanyang first.

At this moment, in Lanyue Fanghua, the morning light shone across the two towering tall buildings, casting a light yellow halo on the shadows of the buildings. Groups of women in flowered clothes walked slowly downstairs, rushing to the training ground to practice swords.

Chaoyun walked hurriedly, led Shen Jishu behind him, and rushed to the door to meet the guests.

Taking a quick glance behind her, she saw Shen Jishu yawning with a sleepy look on her face. She couldn't help but persuade him, "Young master, hurry up. That young master has been waiting outside for a long time."

"Aiya. Who is it? You came to look for me so early, and you can't sleep well even when you return to the cage." Shen Jishu mistakenly thought it was some nameless rat, and his tone was a little impatient.

"But that son claims to be your friend. If you let Madam know that you don't treat guests well, I'm afraid you will suffer again."

Shen Jishu was choked by these words, and instinctively panicked for a moment: "Uh, sister Chaoyun, then don't tell my mother."

"Okay. The man is right ahead, young master, you can pick him up yourself."

"Well, goodbye, sister."

Shen Jishu waved his hand, then changed his expression, and carefully inquired about the back of the silver-clothed figure standing facing the dawn at the door, feeling a bit familiar with his temperament.

He stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Brother, you..."

"Hey. It's me."

Hearing the sound, Qi Zhong immediately turned to face Shen Jishu, and he was so scared that he showed a surprised look.

"Brother Qi, it's you! You should have said it earlier."

"What? I have been waiting at the door for so long, and I have let you down?"

Shen Jishu wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "No, no. Come in, let's talk as we walk."

"It's more or less the same." Qi Zhong stepped into the gate of Lanyue Fanghua with peace of mind, and let him lead the way, taking care of this slightly exotic scene all the way.

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Jishu knew the purpose of his visit, and nodded in relief, and was moved that Qi Zhong could still keep his promise to visit him.

Then, the two passed by the central hub of Lanyue Fanghua. Qi Zhong looked up and saw two tall buildings standing in the sky. He could not help but sigh: "These two buildings are so tall."

Shen Jishu introduced to him quite proudly: "Haha. Brother Qi, don't you know, the Luoxing Building and Qiyun Building are the most unique buildings of our Lanyue Fanghua. It is because of these two buildings that our place It's called Lanyue Fanghua."

"Hmm...then if you go up this building, you can get the moon and stars?"

Knowing that he was joking, Shen Jishu nodded cooperatively: "Of course. It's just that you don't have Mrs. Shen's pass. Brother Qi, you don't have the chance to enjoy the moonlight beauty on the roof."

"Mrs. Shen? Oh, you are really afraid of her."

Qi Zhong took a meaningful look at Shen Jishu, and his eyes signaled: Your handle has been handed over to me again.

"Uh... Please come inside, Brother Qi." Quickly shifting his attention, Shen Jishu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At noon, Shen Jishu entertained Qi Zhong with a special feast, and served him two large jars of rice wine, thinking that it would suit his wishes and be regarded as a good landlord, but who would have thought...

Qi Zhong pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "This wine doesn't taste good."

"Ah?" Shen Jishu scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Our family has a lot of women, and few people drink alcohol. This is already old."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong snorted lightly: "That's it? It's also called old wine. It's boring and uninspiring. It's really disappointing."

"Uh, brother Qi, don't say that. Since this wine is not good, I can take you outside to drink."

"Outside? How delicious is it?" Qi finally didn't hold out much hope.

"Brother Qi doesn't know. There is a mandarin duck restaurant in our town. Their Xianyuan wine tastes very good. It tastes like honey, which makes people linger on it. And this wine is limited to purchase, only one day. Selling thirty bottles..."

"Hiss, it really does sound like some peerless fine wine." Qi Zhong was still a little moved when he heard him bragging, "Then what are you waiting for? Take me there."

Shen Jishu hesitated for a moment: "Well, I'm afraid it won't work. Their boss also has a rule that a pair of beauties who are both talented and beautiful can go together to buy wine."

"Ah? What strange request?" Hearing what he said, Qi Zhong not only did not lose interest, but wanted to taste it even more.

Shen Jishu smiled: "However, if brother Qi is willing to cooperate with me, try out my latest rouge makeup, and put on a nice dress, and we go together, maybe we can get away with it."

"Heh." Qi Zhong leaned back on the chair, knowing that he had no good intentions and wanted to play this trick.

"You are so beautiful? Why don't you paint yourself and let me go with you?"

Shen Jishu shook his head again and again, fearfully said: "That's impossible, Mrs. Shen has already issued a death order for me, if I touch this thing on my face again, I will have to..."

"What? You really did it? No wonder the skin is so good."

Qi Zhong was taken aback. Although Changting also had men who put on powder and went out, but at that time, because those people painted badly and scared the children to tears, he just thought it was ugly people who made more troubles. The real natural beauty is inner beauty. Need to toss these out.

"So... Brother Qi, what do you think? Do you want to try a new breakthrough?"

The coaxing tone penetrated into his ears, Qi Zhong pinched his chin and thought for a while: Is there a new attempt?It seems quite exciting...

"Okay. For the wine, I will give up this pair of skins today."

Shen Jishu covered his mouth and snickered: "Brother Qi, your foundation is not bad, and you may be more beautiful than a fairy when you draw it... Uh, I mean, wait a minute, I'll go to lift the makeup box."

After being stared straight at, Shen Jishu restrained his nonsense while talking, and obediently went down to prepare materials.

……

Pedestrians crowded the wide avenue, and passers-by who were shopping for vegetables and rice at the stalls on both sides couldn't help but tilt their heads and stared at the two figures walking by, feeling quite surprised and amazed, and started discussing one after another.

"Hey, look, the girl beside Young Master Shen is really beautiful."

"Ah, where is this beauty? She's so handsome."

"Hey, look, Young Master Shen's fiancee..."

"What are you talking about, it should be a concubine, how can the main room be so beautiful..."

"Bullshit, Young Master Shen hasn't married yet..."

On the street, people coming and going "pointed" at Qi Zhong, he frowned, regretting going out so blatantly, even though he was not familiar with the place here, no one would know him.

"Cough cough..."

Qi Zhong pulled his sleeves and gently swayed his face to cover his face, while threatening Shen Jishu next to him in a low voice.

"How did this happen? Are you quite famous on the street?"

Hearing such a strong tone, Shen Jishu was nervous for a moment, and immediately took out a light pink veil cleverly, and hung it on Qi Zhong's ear.

Comforting: "Put this on, it will be fine. They are all regular customers who buy my rouge on weekdays, so they will talk and tease."

"Hmph." Qi Zhong snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, it's here."

Fortunately, the destination has been reached, Shen Jishu quickly diverted his attention and hurried into the restaurant.

……

The wind in the afternoon gradually became dry with the sound of cicadas.

Coming out of the Mandarin Duck Restaurant, Qi finally straightened the loose flowing skirt at his feet, wondering why this woman's clothes are so complicated and her hands and feet are bound.

Shen Jishu naturally stepped forward, skillfully fiddled with the slanted coat on his shoulders, and instructed: "Hey, brother Qi, don't mess around, this dress is made of high-quality jade silk. If it weren't for me and the tailor The young lady has a good relationship, she still refuses to lend me such a fairy-like colorful dress."

Qi Zhong wished he could take off his expensive clothes as soon as he went out, and clicked his tongue: "There are many things."

"Hey, not much, not much. Isn't the Xianyuan wine just delicious?"

Qi Zhong hesitated for a while, thought about it, and felt that it was not satisfactory, so he nodded perfunctorily: "Yes. It's not bad."

The two walked back to buy Yuefanghua along the road, passing a newly opened rouge shop, Qi Zhong glanced at it, not very interested, but Shen Jishu seemed to be taken away, staring straight at the hot sales scene inside.

"Ha. When did a new makeup shop open here? The business is so good. Is there any secret ingredient..."

Hearing what he said, Qi Zhong frowned: "You... don't you still want to go in for a stroll? You have to go by yourself, I won't go in."

"Ahaha. Then, brother Qi, please wait for me outside for a while."

"Hey, you really dare to leave me outside alone? Ah hello."

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhong glanced back at him, wanted to leave, but was afraid that he might not find the right way, so he stood angrily under the eaves, folded his arms and watched the passers-by coming and going in front of him.

Just as he was looking around boredly, a figure of Su Xue suddenly stood out from the crowd, walking hurriedly, with sword intent, flowing in the air.

Qi Zhong widened his eyes, stared at the man's back in disbelief as he walked away from the city gate, and thought: The man who just ran past, why does he look so much like Mu Yun...

Before the future can be confirmed, I saw that person swiftly moving through the crowd, quickly submerged, as if he was chasing something.

Qi Zhong couldn't suppress his curiosity, he glanced at the noisy scene in the rouge shop, and made up his mind to chase after that figure.

With a light skirt and a thin figure, he secretly urged Neiyuan, walked like a swallow, and caught up with the suddenly distant and near figure in a moment.

……

In the wild forest in the suburbs, the sun is setting.

Qi Zhong thought he was running fast, but he still couldn't see the man in the forest. He thought it was because of the inconvenience of the dress.Even so, he was still unwilling to give up the opportunity to find out the result, and then stepped into the dark and gloomy wild forest vigilantly.

Following the spiritual information of the vegetation, I inquired deeper step by step. Suddenly, under a damp moss-colored mountain wall, I found a person fainted on the ground, and around that person, there were countless bloodthirsty thorns winding around, as if preparing to Cannibalize that person's blood.But these low-level monsters are not capable enough, forced by the opponent's pure body and strong righteousness, they can't get close easily, so they have to wander around.

Qi Zhong wondered: This person is so powerful, why did he pass out in this ghost place?

He stepped forward slowly, gently lifted the man's upper body, and just turned over, he took a breath and exclaimed in surprise: "It's really you?"

Recognizing Mu Yun's face, Qi Zhong was flustered for a moment, and hurriedly checked the flow of his spiritual veins, and found that he was fine, but the remaining energy from the fighting all over his body had not dissipated.

"Hiss, that's weird, what are you doing in Luanyang when you have nothing to do? How could you faint here for no reason?"

Curiosity trended, Qi Zhong gently clasped Mu Yun's five fingers hanging on the side of his clothes, turned his mind over, and quickly read and remembered.Before making the illusion, he promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, if it's something embarrassing, I won't tell it behind your back."

Immediately his consciousness sank, and the illusion of sharing thoughts started slowly, wandering in Qi Zhong's mind, he found that half an hour ago, Mu Yun chased a black wind demon and came to this deserted forest. , but I didn’t want this lost forest to be weird, it would disturb people’s consciousness, make some cries of infant spirits, win the sympathy of passers-by, and then attack their consciousness, make people unconscious, and then be sucked to death by thorns...

"Oh, you really don't have any precautions? In the wilderness, where are the children for you to save? They deserve it."

Qi Zhong complained in a low voice.Although these small ambushes can make Mu Yun recruit once, they can't do anything to him in the end. At most, he can sleep for a while, get up and leave tomorrow, but now he meets himself... Qi Zhong's mouth curled up into a smile, and his heart Said: Brother, I will teach you a lesson myself.
