Chapter Seventy-Three: The Tide
"Have you ever heard of 'perfume'?"
"Perfume? What is it? Fragrant water? ”
"Uh~ This statement is really vulgar, but it probably means the same."
"Don't sell it, what the hell is going on?"
"Actually, I don't know. It's just that our lady and her friends are talking about things that are said to be something that can make any woman crazy. ”
……
"Do you know 'perfume'?"
"Perfume? Such a familiar name. Ah, yes! I just heard Miss Kaiqi mention it in the morning, which is said to make women exude a more charming ** atmosphere, giggles! It's so humiliating. ”
"I heard that it was the young genius Anthony? Mr. Bruce carefully developed it and was given as a gift to Viscount Bain by the Hilton patriarch. ”
"Oh~ is that mysterious Mr. Anthony's masterpiece? I adore him, and it would be nice to have a bottle of perfume that he made himself. ”
"Don't dream, Viscountess Bain is boasting everywhere that there's only one bottle in the world."
"Well, that's a pity."
……
"Have you ever heard of 'perfume'?"
"Cut~ nonsense! Now there is still a noble lady or lady who does not know perfume. Viscountess Bain publicly announced to the whole world, and she couldn't even think about it. ”
"However, I heard that the patriarch of Hilton actually gave Viscount Bane two bottles of perfume, and another bottle to Viscount's **."
"Huh? The Viscountess also said......"
"Of course it's hiding it from her. Originally, there would be nothing wrong, that noble lord didn't have a ** outside, but he was just well hidden. Who knew that the viscountess would show off everywhere, and the charm of perfume was so irresistible. The viscount's ** had such a treasure in his hand, how could he bear to just hide at home and enjoy it, so the second bottle of perfume was exposed. ”
"Isn't Viscount Bane a headache now?"
"It should be, hahahaha~"
……
Viscount Bain is indeed having a headache right now.
When he gave two bottles of beautifully packaged and well-made perfume to his wife and the little goblin respectively, he had no idea that the charm of these two bottles of "game works" was so great.
The whole city of Edinburgh, whether it is the noble ladies and ladies of high status, or the spicy women in the market, are all talking about this "perfume". So the two closest women of Lord Viscount, who both held a bottle of perfume in their hands, were like two dazzling stars in front of the citizens of the city, which were very abruptly revealed.
A sudden fire broke out in the backyard, leaving Viscount Bain anxious.
His wife, who had always been elegant and graceful, reacted unexpectedly violently this time. It's not because Lord Viscount has a little ** outside, but because her husband actually gave away one of the two rare treasures. not only gave her one less chance to dominate the limelight, but also became a joke in aristocratic circles.
But Viscount Bain didn't have time to put out the fire right now, because it was just a minor nuisance. There was an even bigger trouble waiting for him.
The last blatant visit by Count Silvio did not lead to any results in the end, and seemed to be in vain. But in fact, it was clear to both sides that the effect had been achieved from the time the Count entered the door.
The only difference is that this is the outcome that the Hiltons wanted, but not what Viscount Bain wanted.
Viscount Bain was careful to avoid this meeting, which would inevitably be discovered by the alliance of nobles, leading to more unfavorable conjectures. Who knew that after a thousand calculations, he would fall in front of those two inconspicuous gadgets and the "game work" of that young genius.
Do you Viscount Bain dare to say that he has nothing to do with the Hilton family?
Now it's yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it's not but either.
Could it be that the boy named Anthony is really so amazing? Any action can make the opposing party passive and uncomfortable, and there is no way to parry? Or is it that the old fox of the Hilton patriarch is scheming and calculated.
Whether it was planned or not, in the current situation, if the Hilton family did not know how to take advantage of the situation to withdraw from the commodity of "perfume", it would have been bombarded to the slag by the old nobles.
The so-called hero saw the same thing, and although Viscount Bain was very reluctant to be this "hero", things still happened as he guessed.
"The Hilton family is about to launch its newest product: perfume!"
"The perfume is only 500 taels of silver! Only 500 taels of silver! For just 500 taels of silver, you can take home the perfume that is so popular among the noble ladies of the whole city of Edinburgh! ”
"The first batch of perfumes is available in limited quantities. Ladies and gentlemen who want to buy, hurry up! ”
For a time, the streets and alleys, pubs and restaurants of Edinburgh City were all filled with advertisements for the Hilton family's perfumes.
At this time, if you don't know what "perfume" is, you will definitely be despised and spurned by everyone and will not be able to raise your head.
And almost all the women in the city, as the Count of Silvio joked, from 8 to 80 years old, were attracted to perfumes.
The two women of Viscount Bain have been in the limelight these days, and the charming and faint fragrance of the perfume has filled all the noble women they have come into contact with full of envy and jealousy.
Now, the Hilton family has finally put the perfume on the shelves, and everyone can enjoy the elegant fragrance in the future, and no longer let those two women be beautiful.
So, on the day of the perfume release, Hilton was located in front of the most central and prosperous store in Edinburgh City, and there was a long queue of people early.
500 taels of silver, equivalent to the total annual income of a modest family in Edinburgh City. Excluding necessary expenses, it is necessary to save at least three or five years before it is possible to afford a bottle of perfume. This price is really not low.
It can be said that those who are qualified to queue up here are already proof of wealth and status.
Of course, this does not refer to the people who are sweating profusely and standing in line with weak legs, but the adults behind them.
Aristocrats should have the demeanor and dignity of aristocrats, and a large number of people are queuing here, what kind of system!
But no matter how graceful and reserved it is, the charm of perfume is really irresistible. Even if they couldn't put down their faces and queue up in person, the ladies and ladies still sat in twos and threes on the carriage, in the tea shop next to them, or under the shade of the big tree, waiting anxiously and expectantly.
The Hilton family didn't let everyone wait too long, and after a grand and simple launch ceremony in front of the gorgeous and festive store, the fragrance was officially launched.
“…… Due to the fine and complex production process, we don't have many stocks in stock. The first batch of perfumes released this time was only 10 bottles ......"
The host next to him was still chattering and making introductions, but everyone had no intention of listening to him, and all of them focused their eyes on the beautifully packaged and luxurious boxes placed at the front desk.
But hearing that there were only 10 bottles of perfume, the crowd immediately let out a loud uproar, as if the whole city of Edinburgh was shaking.
At the top of the line was a young man, who had already been instructed by his master to take out a stack of large silver tickets that made his eyes red, and shouted: "This is five thousand taels of silver, and I want all 10 bottles of perfume!" ”
The beautiful girl in charge of the reception politely and apologetically said, "I'm sorry, but the rule set by our patriarch himself is that a customer can only buy one bottle. ”
The young man was anxious, and he craned his neck and asked, "Why can I only buy one bottle?" I have a silver ticket and I still don't want to buy it? How can you do such a business? ”
Before the beautiful girl who received her could reply, the person behind the young man was already dissatisfied: "Didn't you hear that this is the rule set by the patriarch of the human family?" If you want to buy it, hurry up, and if you don't buy it, get out of the way. Is it your master who has a silver ticket? I still want to be all inclusive. Is this to go back and be whipped by the master? ”
The young man hurried back.
He was followed by a man with a meaty face, also waving a large silver ticket in his hand. The last people also heckled and expressed their anger at his actions.
The young man hurriedly turned around, paid the money, took a delicate box from the host girl, bowed his head and hurried away.
The wrath of the people is hard to do. I've finally bought the perfume, so let's withdraw it quickly. Although the number did not meet the master's requirements, this was the rule of the head of the human family, and he could not help it. It's better than being blasted out by the angry crowd behind you and going back empty-handed, and you really can't explain.
