Chapter 115: Business Acumen
Pei Zongze just smiled after listening to Gao Yuran's words, and greeted people in the shop, he couldn't be clearer about which guests came in and out of the shop opposite every day, if it weren't for the eldest lady making a move today, and there was a living signboard of Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang, where could I attract this tall lady.
"I looked at the activities outside the door, and I think it's not bad, you can prepare a few of the ones I usually use on weekdays, just make up enough for three hundred taels, I'll take a look at what kind of skin care activities." ”
"Okay, Miss Gao, please. ”
Pei Zongze politely invited Gao Yuran to the counter, and casually greeted the second child in the store, ordered to wrap a few rouge incense powders, took the abacus and calculated it, and then said to Gao Yuran with a smile: "It's still the few incense that Miss Gao is used to, a total of three hundred and twenty-eight taels." ”
After speaking, he stood still and waited, Gao Yuran pursed his lips, knowing that he didn't see the money and didn't do anything, so he had to beckon the maid Xiaocui next to him to pay off the silver taels.
It is a shame that this Mu's Xiangfang has Pei Zongze, a big shopkeeper like Pei Zongze, who looks good and has a good temper, which is a big reason why many women are willing to patronize Xiangfang.
After settling the money, the shopkeeper Pei immediately smiled and invited Gao Yuran to the bamboo private room upstairs.
When Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang came, when they saw the furnishings in the private room, Gao Yuran was surprised for a while, and saw a beautiful little girl walking in front of him, and said with a respectful expression: "Welcome Miss Gao to visit my Xiangfang." ”
Gao Yuran looked at this person in surprise for a while, and then his eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with a faint expression: "It turned out to be Miss Mu." ”
The little girl standing in front of her was Mu Tianxiang, the big boss of this Mu Shi Xiangfang.
Mu Tianxiang smiled at Gao Yuran, didn't say much, and made a gesture of invitation at her: "Miss Gao, please!"
Gao Yuran glanced at Mu Tianxiang with a somewhat arrogant expression, glanced at the flat chair in the small partition in the direction she was instructing, and said with disdain: "You want me to lie on it?"
With her own identity and financial resources, she was born with a sense of superiority over others, Rao is the most senior in the capital of Mu's Xiangfang, she feels that Mu Tianxiang's identity is far from her, just because her family has a grandfather who is an errand in the palace, that is the head of the imperial food of the lord of the harem, and the Mu family is just a merchant without an identity background.
Mu Tianxiang raised her eyes and glanced at Gao Yuran, from before the crossing to the present, this kind of child who grew up under the shadow of the family has long been strange, and said with a light smile: "Miss Gao, please rest assured, the cushions on this chair are all brand new, Miss Gao doesn't need to worry." ”
Gao Yuran didn't expect Mu Tianxiang to see through her thoughts, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but when she thought that the perfect makeup she had just inquired about from Mrs. Zhao was from this Miss Mu, and then thought that the big boss of the Mu Family Xiangfang would do the work done by the next person to serve her personally, the sense of superiority in her heart was enriched again, and she glanced at Mu Tianxiang mockingly, and then she followed Mu Tianxiang's instructions and lay down on the flat couch with great spirits.
Gao Yuran's face is much better than that of Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang, after all, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, but she is more than ten years younger than those two, and she relies on the good family conditions, in short, her skin is not bad, so it is relatively simple to take care of.
Having learned the lesson of the last time she nursed Mrs. Zhao, Mu Tianxiang waited until the two left, and then instructed Pei Zongze to put all the care solution she had concocted into a palm-sized porcelain bottle, not to mention that it was convenient to use, and also hid all the intuitively visible properties of the care solution in the opaque porcelain bottle.
Wait until Mu Tianxiang puts on her makeup, brings a mirror and hands it to Gao Yuran.
Gao Yuran looked much more relaxed at this time because of Mu Tianxiang's unique massage technique, glanced at it without a trace, took the bronze mirror in her hand, and began to carefully look at her face.
Her appearance is not as feminine as a woman at the moment, but has a touch of heroism, which is also where she has always been dissatisfied with her appearance.
However, Mu Tianxiang is really familiar with this kind of appearance, because her appearance in her previous life was also this kind of heroic, but her personality is lively, and in modern times, the overall look is also a beauty.
But fortunately, her family is a perfume family, and she has a deep study of cosmetics and makeup.
But in ancient times, it was different, because the woman's clothing and hairstyle, with a heroic face, is really a bit out of place, and sometimes it even gives people a bitter and mean feeling, and because Gao Yuran is arrogant and arrogant in front of outsiders, so this feeling is particularly strong.
So when Gao Yuran saw through the bronze mirror a face that was very different from her usual life, which was the soft and beautiful woman she had dreamed of, she immediately exclaimed, raised her head and looked at Mu Tianxiang incredulously.
It's just that when she saw Mu Tianxiang's smile as always, the corners of her mouth couldn't help jumping, saying that she was grateful in her heart now, but her superiority before made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she said insincerely: "Hmph, it's not bad, it's not in vain that I spent an extra three hundred taels of silver!"
The look of squinting at Mu Tianxiang with his chin slightly tilted arrogantly, as if he was giving generously, looking at Yujin, who had been following Mu Tianxiang, couldn't wait to go up and tear her face.
Isn't it just that there are a few stinky ladies in the family, and they dare to put on a face for my young lady and look down on my young lady?
Mu Tianxiang looked at Yu Jin, who was already about to open his mouth to reprimand, and just nodded and smiled at Gao Yuran: "Thank you Miss Gao for taking care of the Xiangfang business." ”
The faint words made Gao Yuran suddenly feel like her fist was smashing on the cotton, and she felt really uncomfortable, but she also knew that if she was aggressive again, she was afraid that she would disgrace the Gao family.
Snorted coldly, Gao Yuran threw down his sleeves, and walked out with the maid, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly left another sentence: "I will send the maid to inform you of the time when you need to care next time." ”
Anyway, three hundred taels of silver has three opportunities for care, even if she tries it this time today, the effect is not bad, thinking of her cousin's birthday in a few days, the prince's brother-in-law, who is very fond of her cousin, will definitely hold a birthday banquet for her cousin, and when the time comes, she must ask Miss Mu to paint her a more perfect makeup to attend the banquet, I believe that it will be in the spotlight.
Gao Yuran secretly made up his mind, and immediately hurried out of the incense shop with his maid, obviously he had already gone shopping once in the morning, but he still couldn't help but go shopping again, and finally went to the Red Dance House to drink tea, needless to say, the idea was the same as Mrs. Zhao.
As Mu Tianxiang expected, it has become the third living signboard of Mu's Xiangfang.
"Miss, look at her towering appearance, next time you dare to look at Miss like this, the slave will definitely blast her out!"
"Hehe, how can you do business like this?" Mu Tianxiang smiled at Yu Jin: "All the guests have been driven away by you, and it is estimated that our Xiangfang will also be closed." ”
Mu Tianxiang knew that Yu Jin was really upset about her, but this is not the case in business. She didn't care about Gao Yuran's attitude, what kind of person she hadn't seen in her previous life?
After laughing at Yu Jin, if there was any business coming to the door for a while, Mu Tianxiang continued to stay in the bamboo private room, drinking tea by the window and watching the scenery, completely unaware of his every move, all of which fell in the eyes of some people in the restaurant opposite.
"This Miss Mu is really worthy of being Miss Mu Fu, this business acumen is as good as the previous Mu Fu masters. Qi Huanyu glanced at the man beside him, raised his lips and smiled: "It seems that someone is a little weak in digging this pit." ”
Someone in his mouth was sitting at the table at this time, drinking tea quietly, as if he hadn't listened to what he was talking about at all, which caused Qi Huanyu to hold his chest for a while, and when he didn't see someone drinking tea, his eyes inadvertently swept to the opposite side, and glanced at the girl who was lying on the edge of the window, looking around curiously.
His eyes flickered, Yan Shaoting put down the tea bowl and looked at Qi Huanyu, and asked, "There is no clue about the Snowy Ice Spirit Alien Flower?"
The topic changed a little suddenly, Qi Huanyu paused for a moment, the original playful expression gradually calmed down, and shook his head with regret: "It's just a legend, but now it's the third wave of people sent, and I've searched the entire snowy region, and I haven't found any medicinal flowers like the legend." ”
It is rumored that the snow ice is a strange flower, describing the snow, as big as a plate, born on the top of the coldest snowy region, it is rumored that its flowers, undefeated, can be picked into medicine to live the flesh and bones of the dead, even if it is a person who hangs a breath, can be saved.
Qi Huanyu glanced at Yan Shaoting's bland and cold face, based on years of familiarity, he knew that his friend's mood at this time was not as calm as on his face, and he couldn't bear it, but he still opened his mouth to remind: "After all, it's just a legend, and there is no information to record it......"
"Second Uncle's time is running out. Yan Shaoting suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and he rarely lost his composure, and his clenched fists turned white because of forbearance.
It was his relative, the only one who survived the accident of his step-grandfather and father.
Qi Huanyu looked at him like this, and the words of consolation came to his mouth and swallowed back.
In the past ten years, they have searched all over the world, thinking about ways to find a cure all the time, but they finally found a glimmer of hope, but they did not have time to achieve it.
Thinking that he had explored the body of the second uncle the day before yesterday, he had not reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and as a miracle doctor who rejuvenated the world, he was annoyed because of his powerlessness.
The mood of the two is extremely heavy.
However, at this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the thoughts of the two of them were immediately pulled back.
"Yo, it's all there!" accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a flowing teasing sound came at the same time.
It was only when he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was particularly depressing, and the person who came couldn't help frowning, walked to the table and sat down, glanced at the two of them back and forth, and then said with a solemn expression: "What's wrong?"
Yan Shaoting's fist on the table loosened, and he picked up the tea bowl to moisten his mouth, but found that the tea bowl was already empty, so he had to put it down.
Qi Huanyu glanced at the person who came, and did not answer his words, but snorted with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Welcome to the second prince! The second prince is really as rumored, very idle, clearly grounded, and still free to go in and out of the palace!"
"Who makes me miss my good brothers so much!" the second prince, Jingling, poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and teased.
"Come on, your good brothers are all in the palace. Qi Huanyu complained.
Although Jing Ling knew that he was joking, when he thought of his brother, his face suddenly turned cold, but it was only for a moment, and he pursed his lips again, looking bored: "It's better to find you as brothers!"
Qi Huanyu shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that Jingling was clearly not interested in that position, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on seeing him as an enemy who did not share the sky.
For a while, the three of them didn't speak, the room was quiet and boring, Jingling, who had always been free and easy, really couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere, and glanced at the two of them curiously, and knew that the problem was Yan Shaoting, thinking of what he was worried about in recent days, he immediately guessed it.
"Otherwise, I'll transfer some people?" he asked Yan Shaoting tentatively.
Yan Shaoting was moved for a moment, but he glanced up at Jingling and shook his head again: "Don't swagger anymore today, keep an eye on that head, don't rub it on the knife edge yourself." ”
As close friends, they naturally know that there are some people around Jingling who can be secretly mobilized, but the prince is keeping a close eye on it, and the slightest disturbance may alarm the other party, and if someone catches the handle at that time, they will be speechless.
And there are a lot of people they have sent, and there is no news so far, so it is estimated that no matter how many people are sent, it will be the same result.
"If there is no news within five days, I want to persuade the second uncle to go home. Yan Shaoting decided.
"But ......"
After hiding for so many years, if you go home, I'm afraid it will be ......
"It's okay, it's been ten years since that incident, and the second uncle also went with everyone back then, only a few days around, and when someone thinks of it, there's nothing to check. ”
Because at that time, the second uncle was no longer there.
"But the rest of the Hou Mansion ......"
If it is known that the second master of the Yan family is not dead and has returned home, I am afraid that when the second uncle is unlucky, the people who are alive in the Hou Mansion will become targets.
"It doesn't matter, it's not what it used to be, if someone dares to fight the idea of the Hou Mansion, we have to see if he has that life. "Back then, because of the death of my grandfather, father and second uncle, the Hou Mansion was only left with the old, young, sick and disabled, and had no ability to fight against others, but now it is different, with him and the Hou Ye, no one wants to fight the idea of the Hou Mansion again.
