After teaching Helian Yu the art of luck and dredging up meridians, Gu Qingli bid farewell to him and left Cheng Yang Inn.
It just so happened that Gu Qingruo and Helian Xiangrong had finished chatting and the two of them decided to take a stroll together.
Due to the cold and dry northern Chu, its products were not abundant. Silk fabrics and cotton fabrics were not abundant, so the overall standard of makeup naturally fell. Even if it were as flourishing as the capital of the Northern Chu, or as noble and noble as a princess, Helian Xianzi's aesthetics was also somewhat problematic.
Gu Qingruo did not say it out loud, she only said that Helian Xiangrong could try to go with the customs of the country, because the early winter in the East Abyss was not as cold as the Northern Chu, and there was no need to dress up tight and warm, either.
Remembering the half-dress worn by his concubine during the grand feast in the palace of the Dongyuan Palace, Helian Shuang also felt that it was time to change his dress, so he agreed.
When they were close to the entrance of Cheng Yang Inn, Gu Qingruo suddenly pulled on Helian Lie and dashed into a cluster of trees.
Without waiting for Helian Peng to regain her senses, Gu Qingruo covered her mouth and pointed at the main entrance. She saw Helian Yu and Gu Qingli walking together with her, stopping in front of the entrance.
Gu Qing Li turned his face to the side with a smile. Although he couldn't make out what she was saying, he could tell from her expression that Helian Yu was not to be seen off.
Helian Yu's face broke into a rare smile, and the lines on his face softened. He nodded, watching her leave. After watching her leave, he stayed where he was for a long time, before turning around and leaving.
"My big brother Crown Prince seems to have some feelings for Gu Qing Li …" "Different?" Helian Lie thought suspiciously. In his memory, Helian Yu was cold and merciless to anyone. He rarely smiled, and even if he did smile, it wouldn't bring the slightest bit of warmth.
However, Gu Qingruo softly said, "Once this hour comes out, it can't be that the famous doctor who received Prince Helian previously was talking about her?"
"Huh?" Helian Shuang thought for a moment before replying, "She should know some medical skills. Back then when I was being stung by a bee in the Residence of Mo King, she took out some Jade Dew Powder to change my medicine.
Gu Qingruo didn't reply. Her expression was extremely solemn as she thought of something.
She was very clear about Gu Qingxiao's background. Back then, her third younger sister had disregarded everything to marry into the Prince Mo Residence, and had even swindled them into marrying each other. However, they had never returned to the Prime Minister's Estate, nor had they ever met in private.
Gu Qingruo naturally knew that her third sister had never learned any medical skills and was only a fake Ghost Doctor, Li Yue. However, ever since Third Sister married into the Prince Mo Residence, that missing Li Yue had never appeared again. Just where had she gone to? After such a long period of time, she had only pretended to be amnesia. Had Gu Qingxiao really never revealed any flaws in front of Xiao Yi Xiu?
The more she thought about it, the more her heart sank. Gu Qing Ruo couldn't help but start thinking about who the real Li Yue was.
When Li Yue first appeared in the capital, she should have been at the Residence of Mo King; when she disappeared, she was nowhere to be seen, but it was said that Xiao Yixiu's condition was much better than before. Even though he always claimed that he was weak and couldn't use his inner force, he could at least go to court as usual.
The more Gu Qingruo thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. She wanted to immediately bid farewell to Helian Xiangrong, but after all, they had just agreed to bring her to see the streets and streets. In the end, she endured it and accompanied her out of the inn.
The Eastern Abyss was very different from the Northern Chu. The capital city was also more prosperous, but the main reason was that the business was more developed than the Northern Chu. After all, the Dongyuan Water Road was accessible, and the water and land transport were all rather smooth. On the other hand, the Northern Chu Mountain Road was numerous, and it only relied on land transportation, and many of the goods and materials needed to be transported from other places.
Helian Shuanghui was surprised to see so many kinds of rouge and water powder. He didn't know that there were more than a dozen kinds of eyebrows, from conch, copper, stoneware to bird's head, lily, green, green, Trendy, blue …
In the capital, there were two types of eyebrows that were popular: the former was noble and domineering, while the latter was gentle and pleasant. Gu Qingli first pushed Helian Lie to sit in a powder shop, where the ladies would help her fix her makeup.
First, she twisted her face into a thin layer of peach blossom powder. Then, she drew her eyebrows and used a fine brush to outline the Smoke Stub that was more suited to her.
Helian Shuanghui took a look in the mirror and felt very satisfied. He then saw that the girl's delicate hands had evenly smeared rouge on her face and had ordered rouge. Everything fit her desires, so he bought a large pile of rouge and water powder and loaded it out.
After exiting the makeup shop, they went to the cloth shop. All the larger cloth shops in the capital had their own clothing business. Gu Qingluo had picked out a large number of popular styles for Helian Xianzi, allowing her to test them for a long time.
On this day, Helian Xianzi could be said to be in a daze, and even the female bodyguards behind him were dazzled by the sight. In the end, they all carried large and small bags, feeling extremely happy.
Gu Qingruo was generous and paid for all of the makeup and accessories. Helian Shuang praised her even more. She was just a step away from becoming friends with her.
Under the effects of the dizziness, Helian Xianzi promised that after returning to the Northern Chu, he would introduce the rouge, powder, and soft silk cloth to the Northern Chu aristocrats, thus trading with them for a long period of time.
Gu Qingruo seized the opportunity to recommend the shops she had just seen. She had no idea that they were run by the Mu King's Manor. In exchange for courtesy, Helian Shuanghui also promised to sign a deal with Gu Qingruo on mineral trading and iron smelting technology.
Although Helian Zhenghua had no talent, her biological mother's family did not lack in running these businesses. She believed that such transactions benefited each other and promoted good relations between the two countries.
When Gu Qingruo left, Helian Yu was shocked when he saw the female guards carrying the mountainous pile of goods into the inn.
After a careful inquiry, he found out that Gu Qing Ruo had obtained some benefits from his sister's lack of foresight, so he casually promised to help the two countries with their business dealings.
At first, he was furious, thinking that she did not know what was good for her, and that agreeing to trade was no different from opening up the channels of business between the two countries. In the eyes of the women, these complex and colorful cosmetics were useless except for the aristocratic ladies to divert the fads away, but they had actually allowed a large amount of silver to flow to the Eastern Abyss.
On the other hand, the mineral resources and iron smelting technology transported from the Northern Chu to the East Abyss would increase the military strength and combat ability of the East Abyss, which was greatly disadvantageous to the Northern Chu. This was not something that a tyrannical princess like Helian Hua could come up with. Even if he told her about it, it would be impossible for her to explain everything to him.
As for smelting iron and forging techniques, they could not be left to Helian Hua to decide. Even if she promised that as long as she tampered with these techniques after returning to the Eastern Sea Region, she would not be able to transfer first-rate techniques into the East Abyss.
As for Helian Shuang's mother clan's business, she was the one to manage it. It was a waste that she did not have access to the latest forging techniques. At that time, if the situation between the two countries changed, the easily promised agreement by the envoy of Helian Xianzi and Dongyuan would just happen to be evidence of other countries …
Helian Xianfeng did not know that his brother's thoughts had already floated to the ends of the earth. He was still excitedly trying on a set of beautiful clothes and painting himself as if he was a succubus. He thought to himself, if this is seen by Prince Mo, how could he not look at him in a different light?
