Regarding the chrysanthemum on the head, Guo Nuan is glad that he lives in ancient times. Otherwise, if a man wore a chrysanthemum on the street in a contemporary city, he would probably be mistaken for a non-mainstream fool.

However, the men who walked by were more or less proud of wearing flowers. It seems that this is indeed a popular trend. And it is quite common for Guo Nuan to wear flowers like this.

After feeling weird for a while, Guo Nuan got used to it.

"Don't feel aggrieved. You said that Her Majesty Wu Zetian has a lot of fair-faced and handsome men in the harem who are smeared with rouge and gouache. This is the most popular makeup for men nowadays."

Xiaoyao laughed and mentioned about Wu Zetian, the empress of Xuanzong's previous generation. Although she was a woman, she was not a deity with a pure heart. It was inevitable that she would be a little lonely in the deep palace in the dead of night.

And Wu Zetian did keep a lot of pretty boys in the harem. Guo Nuan had dabbled in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, and it seemed that he vaguely remembered that Wu Zetian had two pretty boys, and they seemed to be named Zhang. What looked like women, and had thin skin?

Some people even flattered him and compared him to a lotus. Oh, no, the lotus looks like Liulang's face.

Guo Nuan thought of a good old man pretending to be young and pretty for an old woman Wu Zetian. She had a soft, beautiful and pure face. He applied lipstick and rouge and dressed up in the harem every day in front of a bronze mirror.

, I heard that this Liulang, his hair is three feet long, he looks like a woman. It’s really disgusting. I didn’t expect Wu Zetian to have such a hobby.

Fortunately, the Li royal family of Xuanzong's generation regained the imperial power of Wu Zetian and Wu family in time. Otherwise, it is estimated that there would be an Empress Wu Zetian, and then there would be a second female emperor, and the third one would continue for eternity.

It is expected to develop in this way. Guo Nuan can't imagine that maybe women will ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and rule centrally. This Chinese society dominated by male clans will slowly evolve into a world dominated by women.

From then on, the harem was filled with young men with beautiful faces and delicate voices. The officials raised their heads and knelt down. All the people wearing official uniforms were women. Even in the army, women guarded the positions of generals.

, and a woman sits on the throne.

Walking on the street, I have to call "Master, Master". Unexpectedly, these gentlemen are also very heroic women. They speak in a rough voice and are extremely tough. The men have evolved to be painted with colored powder and vermilion, and have long skirts.

She wore gauze clothes, brocade embroidered robes, and even her body was smelling of perfume. Gaga's men's clothing should be limited to moderation, and don't let a temporary trend become the mainstream forever. Guo Nuan prayed silently.

When Guo Nuan was distracted, Xiaoyao put a pink scarf around his neck without him realizing it.

"The style is very beautiful. This is the latest style this year. It was adapted from Persia. It is said that the people there like to wear such scarves to protect themselves from wind and sand. Both men and women use them."

After Xiaoyao said that, she handed over an ingot or a tael of silver to an old lady selling street stalls.

"Why is it so expensive?" Although Guo Nuan's family is very rich, he is not a person who wastes money casually. One ingot and one ounce of silver can be used by one or five people in this three-star restaurant on Chang'an Avenue.

The banquet is on the table, and there is no problem in having a full meal.

Nowadays, a scarf costs only one tael. Is it robbery? Guo Nuan feels that these men's toiletries are really expensive.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. This is a hot commodity. It was transported into the Tang Dynasty through the mountains, rivers and deserts by the Persian camel caravans, sir. This model of mine is the best in the Commodity Street area."

Affordable price, look, this is made of Persian linen."

Come on, when the old lady heard that Guo Nuan thought it was expensive, she quickly explained with a smile and was very enthusiastic. Guo Nuan didn't expect that these are quite popular. One or two is not expensive at all.

"Look, you've made a fool of yourself. I'm ignorant. It seems you have to go shopping in the streets. Otherwise, you can't keep up with everyone's new cultural trends by spending all day working in the palace or taking care of the children at home."

At this moment, she was holding many trinkets in her arms. These were gifts she had chosen for a group of good sisters in Yarange.

Of course, after Xiaoyao picked out the gifts, she immediately asked the store owner to pack them up. Guo Nuan was the man to take care of all the large and small bags. It is said that when a woman goes shopping, she looks for a man to accompany her. The general purpose is not to gossip and chat. Instead, she ropes in a best friend and talks about something.

On the contrary, women can talk about their private affairs more freely. Of course, women are better at gossiping. Two women together can be like a group of ducks, gossiping non-stop.

The main function of having a man go shopping with you is, first, that you can carry a lot of heavy items. You must know that some women are shopaholics when they go shopping, which is the same no matter what era they are in. Guo Nuan understands this deeply at this moment.

Secondly, most women take men shopping. Before a man goes out, he must first fill up his wallet with a tacit understanding. If you don’t have money, you can bring cards. No matter how many cards you have, as long as you have enough money for shopping.

When a woman stands at the counter, a man should take the initiative to take out his wallet and hand over a stack of red bills boldly. There should be no signs of pain on his face. It is best to smile and show eight teeth. If you work in a store that makes a lot of money,

The boss said flatteringly: "Oh, your man loves you so much." This will greatly satisfy the woman's vanity.

It is said that when Guo Nuan was shopping with Xiaoyao, he was moved by the scene and was very moved. He recalled that vixen wife in later generations. She went shopping for almost two days and five days. She visited almost all major stores, supermarkets and night markets in the city center.

Guo Nuan was living a miserable life at that time. Half a year after getting married, his wallet shrank rapidly and his savings in the bank were gone. What’s even more disgusting is that his wife also opened more than ten accounts on major online shopping websites.

.This is a waste of money. Women really love shopping.

Gaga, this time I went shopping with Xiaoyao, but she took the initiative to pay the bill every time, which was very refreshing. Although Guo Nuan is also rich. He no longer has to worry about paying for shopping, even if he goes shopping with a woman who has strengthened his training.

He can afford it with his strong net worth. But now, because he has not enjoyed the fun of shopping for too long, he has fallen out of step with the trends of the contemporary Tang Dynasty. He is a cliché.

"By the way, where are you talking about? The empress of the harem came to support me. Did Qiao Lin see through the copying paper at that time?" Xiaoyao then asked in a leap of thought. Guo Nuan hugged a tall pile of gift boxes, feeling really tired.

Gotta panic.

"Stop, there are too many things to buy, Xiaoyao, let's go to a nearby teahouse to sit down and rest." Guo Nuan felt his lower back flicker, a little cramped. From the corner of his eyes, he spotted a bun shop next door.

A rather stylish teahouse, he immediately stopped and suggested.

"Well, okay, let's buy these for now. It's almost noon now. Let's wait until we've had enough to drink and eat before we can continue shopping at noon." Xiaoyao said, but she also thought Guo Nuan's suggestion made sense. She embroidered the purse from the lotus flower.

He took out a long slip of paper and almost fell down when he glanced at it. This shopping list, which was a foot long and densely packed with tiny characters, really shocked Guo Nuan. He was really impressed by Xiaoyao's shopping ability.

Admired.

"These are all requested by the sisters. They have to sing in classes these days and don't have any holidays to go out and play." Xiaoyao explained with a smile.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Qingshui Tea House and found a seat in a screen booth on the first floor to sit down.

When Guo Nuan placed a large package of gifts on the ground, he could finally sit down, drink tea and take a breather.

"Haha, I'm really exhausted. It's too much trouble, idiot. But after an hour of shopping, your face has turned bitter. It seems that you rarely go shopping with your princess."

This sentence touched Guo Nuan's sore spot. He blamed himself a little. He said that he was busy with palace matters all day long, or he was locked up in the laboratory in the mansion and a bunch of big men were toying with weird inventions. This accompanied him.

Shengping's wife rarely goes shopping. But she is lucky to have married a good wife who is virtuous and gentle. In the past few years since they got married, she has never criticized her in this regard.

Thinking that he should spend more time with his wife in the future. Guo Nuan nodded secretly.

"By the way, I'll treat you to a meal. I'll ask the carriage driver on the street to transport all these gifts back later. Then you will be much more free. And the share I gave you will also be sent to the princess's house in a carriage.

Go ahead."

Xiaoyao neatly arranged things for the afternoon. As she spoke, she called the clerk and ordered a good green tea, several plates of dried fruits, and some plates of cakes.

Guo Nuan looked at the exquisite snacks in the teahouse and felt a little hungry. Xiaoyao and he looked at each other and smiled, then lowered their heads and ate the pastries.

Guo Nuan admired her very much. The Xiaoyao singer, who was always gentle and polite on stage, had always fascinated many scholars with her indifferent and lovely temperament. She was the dream lover they fantasized about all day long.

Now that Guo Nuan is sitting at the same table with her, she actually thinks that Guo Nuan is a sister, and she is very casual. She takes the pastries on the plate and gnaws them randomly, her little mouth is full, and there are some crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth.

Tell Guo Nuan to eat more.

"Wow, I finally finished eating these pastries." After spending half an hour, Xiaoyao looked very unladylike, holding her slightly bulging belly, leaning on the chair and sighing.

Guo Nuan also had a strong appetite. He consumed three plates of pastries, two plates of dried fruits, and one plate of melon seeds. However, compared to Xiao Yao's nine plates, he was really ashamed. I guess most women like to eat snacks.

This is their specialty.

"When we are full, let's sit here and digest first." Guo Nuan called for a truce. He felt that the envoy kept carrying the plates and replacing the finished plates, and watched the two tea guests eating snacks in the teahouse.

, with a strange look in his eyes, he probably misunderstood them as reincarnations of starving ghosts.

"It's so good. I haven't gone shopping for a long time. In the past half month, I have been preparing for opera performances and performing. I have been so busy and exhausted that I have almost never gone out. Haha, Guo Nuan, fortunately I have you to accompany me when I go shopping.

I didn't expect you to be able to eat quite well, you are very happy." Xiaoyao burped. She ate too much and was a little full.

"By the way, tell me about the case of cheating in the imperial examination. I've been shopping all morning, and I didn't hear you finish it several times." Xiaoyao intermittently recalled the stories she had interrupted several times.
