Chapter 26 Rouge Fairy
After registering various requirements and receiving so much money at once, Hu Xiner's expression changed immediately.
I didn't have a headache or shortness of breath, and I could write eight pages in one breath. I smiled the whole time until I saw everyone off. After all, there was no need to be stingy with money.
With the money, they finally had their first full meal in a few days. Normally, Hu Xiner would have a poor appetite due to illness, but she gobbled the food up so voraciously that she almost ate the plate.
Mu Qing took the money to return to the doctor. When he returned home, his steps were a little heavy. Hu Xiner was holding the money box and leaning against the table counting money.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but his mental state was excellent.
Seeing her happily counting the money, Mu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Xin'er, do you think I'm useless as a man?"
"Why do you say that?" Hu Xiner thought about it and understood.
Her voice was hoarse, but very gentle. "Of course not, you're the best. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made so much money all of a sudden."
As he spoke, he handed half of the money he had counted out to Mu Qing: "This is what you deserve, a total of one tael of silver and 250 coins."
Mu Qing shook his head: "I don't want it, I'll give it all to you."
"Really?" Hu Xiner asked in surprise, then realized she had lost her composure and scratched her head embarrassedly.
Mu Qing reached out to touch her head, but ended up just testing the temperature of her forehead: "Why would I lie to you?"
"Mu Qing, you are so nice!" Hu Xiner was so happy that she jumped back to sleep.
This silly girl, Mu Qing helplessly shouted behind her: "You haven't recovered from the cold yet, drink the medicine and go back to sleep!"
He hurried to the kitchen to boil medicine, but when he brought it into the house, the girl was already fast asleep, lying on her back, her hands restlessly tugging at the quilt, her rosy face smiling, completely defenseless against him.
Apparently, he had long forgotten the speculation that "Mu Qing was a bandit."
Mu Qing told himself that he was just checking to see if her fever had subsided, but his eyes were drawn to her lovely sleeping face. He couldn't help but move closer, the more he looked, the more fascinated he became...
In her sleep, Hu Xiner seemed to be dreaming of eating delicious food and smacked her lips.
Mu Qing came back to her senses immediately, thinking back on the recent events. She had transformed from a timid little girl to a quirky, lively and cute girl... She never thought that falling into the water could cause such a big change in a person.
He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he lay down on the edge of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Hu Xin'er woke up, she was struck by Mu Qing's beauty! The man was lying on the edge of the bed, his profile as he slept was incredibly handsome.
Recalling last night, she was thirsty in the middle of the night, and Mu Qing woke up immediately, fed her water, and gave her medicine. He was so considerate.
Who wouldn't be attracted to such a considerate and handsome man? Hu Xin'er was drooling over his handsomeness and thought to herself, "It doesn't matter if he's a royal relative or a bandit, as long as I can make money with his handsome face, it's fine!"
After registering the number of people who paid the deposit yesterday, Hu Xiner handed the fifty flyers she had prepared to Mrs. Li. Ten of the flyers were blank, so Mrs. Li could design them herself. She also introduced the flyer distributor she had met before to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li praised Hu Xiner for her thoughtfulness and posted the advertisement that same day.
Those who came to the courtyard yesterday were all famous gossips in the village. They even bought advertisements for themselves, so naturally they all praised me.
What was even more eye-catching was Hu Xiner's unique design. For a while, Mrs. Li's fabrics sold particularly well, especially those with people painted on them. They were in hot demand. However, in just two days, Mrs. Li had to ask someone to purchase more goods.
The shopkeeper of the county town's cloth shop was very puzzled: "Didn't you just come here to buy goods earlier this month?"
The person Mrs. Li asked smiled mysteriously, "Mrs. Li has her own sales channels, and the shopkeeper just needs to collect the money."
The whole village was proud to wear clothes of the same style and color as the people in the painting. This trend soon spread to the town, and Mrs. Li was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Sister Li’s cloth became famous, and even the cloth shops in the county couldn’t compete with her. Everyone only recognized Sister Li!
The sales of other cloths of the Li family also increased greatly. The owners of other cloth shops regretted it to death. If they had known that advertising was so effective, why would they have let a country woman get the advantage?
For a while, the threshold of the Hu family was almost broken down.
As for the rouge shop, the business is even better. The owner of the rouge shop, Madam Zou, is a very smart person.
Seeing that Mrs. Li's sales had increased significantly, she would bring things to her house every day to urge her to sell flyers, for fear that others would snatch her away.
200 freshly printed flyers were also given the slogan: "Rouge is a mistake, Zhou Lang Gu, buy rouge at Zou's Rouge Shop."
"Zou Rouge: You are naturally beautiful."
"If my lover won't buy me rouge, I might as well hang myself on a tree in the southeast."
These slogans are short and powerful, hitting people's hearts directly, and the first one is the most widely circulated.
If we were to ask who loves to buy rouge the most, it would of course be the girls who are getting married. As the saying goes, girls dress up to please themselves. Who doesn’t dream of appearing beautifully in front of their future husband and outshining all the other girls?
As soon as the flyer came out, Madam Zou was busy all the time, mainly because the portrait was so beautiful. Based on Mu Qing's original appearance, it was slightly processed using the cartoon drawing method, making him look even more like a god.
It was said that many women were so mesmerized by the sight that they went crazy to Zou's to buy rouge, wondering who the man was and whether he was the Rouge Fairy.
Mu Qing's die-hard fans originally bought it just for his name, but the more they looked at it, the less they could recognize it, wondering which immortal king had strayed into the mortal world.
The rumors became more and more outrageous, saying that this Rouge Fairy was the most romantic and suave person, who was an expert in making rouge. If he met someone who liked rouge as much as he did, he would show up.
A wealthy family bought 10 boxes of the most expensive rouge at once, hoping to win the favor of the Rouge Fairy.
Seeing this, even though the store was so busy that it was out of stock, Madam Zou still ordered her subordinates to release the Rouge Fairy series and the Li's series.
The legend of the Rouge Fairy added more mystery to Zou's Rouge Shop. Madam Zou smiled from ear to ear and immediately took out 10 taels of silver to buy more advertisements to post in the town.
“Ah, this…”
Madam Zou is indeed a talented businessman, but considering that Mu Qing doesn't want to show off, Hu Xiner is in a dilemma.
Although the portrait had been altered, it was initially promoted under the name of Mu Qing, and people who knew him would be able to associate him with Mu Qing.
Unfortunately, Mu Qing said he had something to go out for early in the morning today, and it was almost noon and he still hadn't returned, so Hu Xiner had no way to discuss it with him.
Madam Zou was getting impatient waiting: "Xin'er, my Boss Hu! Your husband will obey you in everything, he won't mind!"
Hu Xiner could only smile bitterly. If she agreed to Madam Zou now, Mu Qing might chop her to pieces later.
Just then, an uninvited guest came to the door and knocked hard.
It was the vicious elder sister Hu Ronger who had not been seen for a long time!
