It is said that there are two special places for the bronze mirror made by the Xue family. One of the Xue mirrors is mostly antiques. They use antiques from the Han and Tang dynasties to get the model and then cast it. In addition, when polishing the mirror, lake water must be used.

Perhaps because of this impression, when Zhu Gaoxu saw Madam Xue again, he immediately thought of the image of the clear lake. Although she was wearing a pink coat and dress, her hair was tied up and combed into a graceful and dignified bun, she did not have any makeup on her face, and her white appearance was a bit purer.

When he was present, Zhu Gaoxu made a false support move, looked at her, and asked, "It seems that the shopkeeper of the Xue family has a reply?"

Mrs. Xue said in a gentle tone: "The master has agreed, and I am willing to take on this job from the government."

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu clasped his hands and said, "Then the matter will be done."

Mrs. Xue raised her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said, "We have finished our business, and we will send someone from the Nan Office of the Guardian. If the Xue family wants to contact the government in the future, we can go to the Nan Office."

Mrs. Xue suddenly asked, "Has Mr. Hou not taken care of this business?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I am not responsible for specific matters."

Her eyes flowed like a lake, a faint look of loss flashed through her eyes, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, then looked back at the screen, and said, "It's still early today. Since we have met, Mrs. Xue will accompany me to a place."

Mrs. Xue obediently bent her knees slightly and said, "But listen to the arrangements of Lord Hou."

So the two of them left the Pear Garden and set off in Zhu Gaoxu's carriage. The three or four people were still riding horses to catch the carriage. When they crossed the Qinhuai River and came to the street near Jubaomen in the south, the carriage became slower and slower, crowded, and there were noisy people outside. After leaving the street extending north and south and entering Hengjie, the carriage became as slow as a snail.

"When you go to the place where shops gather here, you should probably walk." Zhu Gaoxu said casually, "There are still a lot of people in this cold weather."

Mrs. Xue asked, "Where is Lord Hou taking me to?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "A cosmetic shop, I happened to do a small thing."

After a while, Madam Xue asked carefully: "What's the trivial matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu said relaxedly: "I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. Isn't Madam Xue busy?"

Mrs. Xue waved her hand and said, "No, not busy."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, thinking that, no matter how busy she is, can she manage the huge court? But then the carriage stopped again and was blocked on the street. Zhu Gaoxu then picked up a corner of the curtain and watched the dense flags and flags outside and the bustling scene.

He turned his head and said, "I suddenly remembered someone said, probably, if there were no women in the world, chasing money would be useless."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue said softly: "This is really rare."

Zhu Gaoxu thought something and came to his senses for a moment, and said, "Maybe not necessarily, but it is indeed quite interesting. There must be huge business opportunities among women."

Mrs. Xue listened and did not respond easily.

The carriage finally arrived in front of the main door. On the quaint door, there was a wooden sign: Tiansu.

When the two got off the carriage, a young student called him to the house. Perhaps the women who could buy things here must have wealth, while women from good families generally do not go out to stroll, and mostly let their servants buy them. Therefore, the people who entertain guests in this shop are men, and there are also older women, and slaves who serve tea and water.

Zhu Gaoxu was the first time he came to such a place. He glanced at it and asked, "Can you try it?"

The young man who greeted the guest nodded and said, "Okay."

At this time, the middle-aged woman came over, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and others with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Xue, "Please please, Mrs.."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin: "Try it first, the pearl powder in this store is pretty good."

The middle-aged woman immediately smiled and said softly: "Your guest is good at seeing you."

The young actor then called Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Sheng and went to the flower hall next to him to drink tea and wait. As soon as Zhu Gaoxu sat down, he reached out to take a small long box from Zhang Sheng and put it on a few tables to open it. The white stacks of neat silver coins inside were exposed. The young actor stared at the box, his eyes lit up.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "Is the shopkeeper here? I want to tell you something about it."

The young actor bent down and said, "Cheer officer wait."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a wide body and fat body came. When he entered the door, he was attracted by the silver coins on the table. He immediately bowed and said, "I am the shopkeeper here, with his surname Su, but I don't know the name of the noble man Gao?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My surname is Hou, and I am from the government."

Manager Su's eyes changed slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu called out, "Come on, sit down and talk about something."

Manager Su took his seat carefully and bowed, "Sir, please speak."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Your rouge powder is very careful, but it is not easy to clean."

Manager Su said: "Tiansu's rouge powder does not require any cinnabar, lead powder, etc. Most of them are ground with jasmine kernels, pearls, and hosta powder. Rouge is made of red and blue flowers as the base, and is accompanied by various pollen seasonings to take into account both color and fragrance..."

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him impatiently and said, "I want to customize a soap for cleaning and give it to my family as a gift. This box is a deposit. If you are willing to accept it, just give it a receipt."

Manager Su hesitated a little and asked cautiously: "What kind of soap?"

Zhu Gaoxu waited for his words and immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "Do as it is done, and you can make it useful. Give me a few dollars, and I will give you so much more money."

Manager Su took the paper with both hands and looked carefully. After a while, he looked up at the letter symbol on the paper and said, "What does this mean?"

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu said, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to worry about that thing, just read the words."

There are two simple junior high school chemical formulas, including lime and water reacting to calcium hydroxide, and then reacting with wood ash to become potassium hydroxide. In the "Translation Collection" of Zhu Gaoxu gave to the Fake Academy, there is also an incomplete periodic table of elements, because he can't remember the latter paragraph. So merchants can't understand this thing, and officials in the Fake Academy may understand a rough idea.

The shopkeeper thought for a long time and asked kindly: "Since you know how to make it, why do you have to spend a high price to let us do it?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I am not a businessman."

The shopkeeper was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu then said again: "The money is not given in vain, just to show sincerity. After you make soap, you will take it to various stores to sell it. Our Maritime Procurement Department will collect taxes, and the Guardian Department will withdraw patent fees from the profits, because the technology is ours. The reason is very simple. Your craftsmanship will not be passed on to outsiders in vain if there is no benefit?"

The shopkeeper asked carefully: "What if the villain is not skilled and cannot make it?"

Zhu Gaoxu signaled to the box on the table, "Then you can only get this deposit."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and he might not be able to accept it for a moment. There would be such a good thing in the world. When he came to his senses, he put away the paper and nodded, "It's done!"

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and pressed his wrist, "You can't take this thing away, copy one."

The shopkeeper immediately turned his head and called him, put on a piece of ink and paper.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Shopkeeper Su has two documents, one of which is written clearly. He obtained the skills of making soap from the Guardian Sinan Office, and voluntarily paid the patent fee according to the court's "New Industrial and Commercial Law". It is clear, so don't make trouble in the future and say that the government bullies the people, we will be bothered."

"How dare you?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Once you make something, you must provide a detailed process step and submit it to the fake courthouse of the Nanshu Bureau of the Shouyusi. We will send someone to pick it up at that time."

The shopkeeper was busy copying it, and then said, "Tonight, the little man will hold a small banquet and ask the adults to enjoy the glory. How about it?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Aren't the talk finished?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked with a strange expression: "Don't you know the name of the Lord?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "We are not afraid that the shopkeeper will pay the debt. Just sign and seal it."

After saying that, he stood up. The tea cup on the table was full, and he didn't drink any tea outside. The money in the small box was left behind.

"By the way, take a box of rouge and water powder away." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng bowed.

After working hard for a while, Mrs. Xue had just dressed up with the pink rouge of Tiansu's and walked into the lobby. Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and felt that her face was thin and white and shiny, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and her red lips looked even more beautiful and delicate. He thought to himself that this thing was indeed useful.

The shopkeeper was waiting for the group to take them out, and Zhu Gaoxu and Mrs. Xue walked onto the carriage and took a bag from Zhang Sheng.

The carriage drove slowly out of the crowded street again. After a while, Madam Xue finally couldn't help it. She turned around gently, took out a bronze mirror from her arms, and looked at the appearance in the mirror carefully. Her cheeks appeared a little flushing, as if she had just drunk a few glasses of wine.

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Do you like it?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly put away the bronze mirror and turned around, her eyes were a little free, and she nodded silently.

Zhu Gaoxu handed over the bag: "We met each other for a while. I was quite casual before and didn't prepare anything. Please accept this little meaning with a smile, and I wish our government and the people a successful cooperation."

Mrs. Xue took it and looked up, "Mr. Hou just bought so much powder?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded easily.

Mrs. Xue refused, "I asked before, the price they set was too expensive. I will not receive any rewards without any merits, so how dare I ask for it?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Don't care too much about some polite gifts."
