13. Chapter 13
In the Xie Family Flower Hall, all the ladies and ladies were sitting and chatting.
The days are getting closer to the end of the year, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but today is the sun is shining. The half-bloomed and half-thanked autumn flowers looked a little alive in the sunlight, and they looked no more haggard than the original.
The grandmother of the Xie family took a sip of tea and brushed the corners of her mouth with Luo Pa. The veil sucked up the moisture and took some of the lipfat off the lips.
Seeing this, Xie Liangying took out a porcelain box from the persimmon-shaped purse he was carrying. The white porcelain background is painted with a picture of the squirrel picking up fruits, and the squirrel has no hair, which is very detailed. She opened the porcelain lid and handed it to the grandmother of the Xie family, with a smile on her face.
The grandmother of the Xie family took a closer look, and there was some colored lipstick in itβit was not the light pink used by the young ladies, it was a little darker, but it was suitable for her identity. I don't know what is mixed in the lipstick, there is a faint fragrance, lingering on the end of the nose. She glanced at Xie Liangying, took some and wiped them on her lips, sipped them, and couldn't help nodding. Moist but not oily, better than what she has always used.
The second lady's nose was very pointed, and she smelled the fragrance of lipstick as early as the moment the box was opened. Women all have a love for beauty, and she is no exception. staring at the grandmother of the Xie family and nodding with satisfaction, she couldn't help asking, "Whose mouth is this?" What do you think of it? β
"That's good." The grandmother of the Xie family handed the lipstick box back to Xie Liangying and nodded approvingly, "It's a big girl who is about to get to the top of her life, and she has a lot of heart." β
After Xie Liangying took back the lipstick, she didn't put it away immediately. She handed it to the second lady who was very interested, and said with a smile: "It was a recipe that a guy in my shop came up with, and I plan to sell it in the shop." But after I made it, I was afraid that no one would like it, so I tried it myself. Seeing that the second lady was trying, she asked, "What does the second aunt think?" β
The second lady inadvertently added a bite when she tried it, and the slightly sweet taste gradually spread in her mouth, "It's really good." β
When it came to the business of the shop, the grandmother of the Xie family asked more, "That...... Are you going to sell this fat in the shop? How much silver is in a box? β
Xie Liangying said: "I thought that it was cold now, and there would be more people who wanted to use lipstick, so I asked the guy to speed up and make some out, and I would try to sell it in the shop in ten days." She weighed it in her heart, "I want to sell it for a box of silver taels, and my grandmother thinks the price is fair?" β
Yan took the lipstick from the second lady's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "If it were me, a tael of silver...... I'd like to give it a try. β
Danguitang, the most popular lady in the capital, has a box of about the same amount of lipstick for five taels of silver.
The smile on Xie Liangying's face became even bigger, just like she thought. She doesn't plan to take the road of profiteering, and she can't rob other fat powder shops that have already made a reputation. It's enough to set a price that a solid family can afford, and it's a small profit but quick turnover.
As soon as the second lady heard one or two boxes, the smile on her face was a little reluctant. The fat powder money is self-paid, and it does not account for the public. Her box of Danguitang's lipstick is still half a box of money, and she can't afford to use one or two boxes of lipstick. But if she doesn't need it, she is a little unwilling in her heart, the same family, everyone has it, but she doesn't. After thinking about it like this, he asked, "Are the five girls going to do fat powder business in the future?" β
Xie Liangying raised her eyebrows slightly, and responded: "Yes, I don't have much experience in calligraphy and painting, but I am a little interested in these." β
The second lady turned her head to look at the grandmother of the Xie family and said with a smile: "Since the fifth girl has the heart to do this business, then our family should also help it." Mother, you see...... Is it that in the future, the fat powder at home will be sent by the shop of the five girls? β
The corners of the eldest lady's eyes twitched, and she said nonchalantly: "Is the money from the public or by yourself?" β
The second lady couldn't say that she had the idea of beating the public middle school in her heart, so she could only say: "Naturally, each room is out of its own room, and it is always difficult to take advantage of the public middle school." In his heart, he said that the eldest lady was shrewd and stingy, and she refused to let go of this idea.
Xie Liangying just wanted to ask them how they felt after trying it out, and she didn't think about doing a family business at all. "What's wrong with this, there's no reason to take the money from the left bag to the right bag."
Xie Liangqing smiled: "That's right. In the future, when I go to Ah Ying's shop to buy things, I have to give me something cheaper. She had been ready to move for a long time, but she was a little ashamed in front of her elders.
"That's nature." Xie Liangying agreed. She also thought that she would have a new fat powder in the future, so she would give Xie Liangqing a try first.
The second lady cleared her throat, tried her best to cheer herself up, opened her mouth a few times, and finally said the words that had been swirling in her stomach. "Hotaru, what do you have in this mouthful? I taste a little sweet. The smell is different from the smell. β
The eldest lady was stunned when she heard this, she was stunned by the second lady's shamelessness. It's obviously asking lipstick, but it's actually asking for a prescription. She twisted her head to the side and rolled her eyes wide, uncontrollably. Sure enough, it was a petty official, and he was a little family.
Xie Liangying had long expected the behavior of the second lady, and her second aunt had always been such a style. However, Xie Liangying had already figured out how to answer, "The formula was developed by a partner, and he took the formula to enter the cadre shares, and I haven't seen it." β
As soon as Yan Shi heard that others wanted to share the money with him, he was anxious on the spot, "This guy's heart is really big, if you go to another house with Fang Zi in the future, how can you make it?" I see, you'll still have to hold the recipe in your hand. β
The grandmother of the Xie family also nodded in agreement.
Xie Liangying didn't take their opinions to heart, anyway, now that the shop is hers, no one can stop her as she wants. When Wei Yang gave her the test sample at that time, he also mentioned that he would give Fang Zi together. However, Xie Liangying thought that he was inconvenient and old, and if he didn't have some money in the future, he was afraid that it would be difficult to find a marriage partner, so he offered to let him use the formula to buy shares, and everyone would share dividends at the end of the year.
"People are pinching the recipe now, and I can't do it, right? Let's take a long-term view of this matter in the future. Xie Liangying waved the handkerchief in her hand, making a helpless look.
The grandmother of the Xie family touched the glass Buddha beads hanging on the placket, and said in her heart that her own girl was too pure and good at home, and she had no sense of defense at all.
And she didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the innocence and innocence of raising Xie Liangying, how could she and the Yan family steal her private room.
Xie Liangting sat aside and didn't say a word, and her heart was already jealous. I heard that my grandmother gave a shop to my fifth cousin, and she and her mother's second wife had a quarrel in the second room. But I didn't have the courage to go up and ask the Xie family's grandmother directly, the Yan family and her intimacy, Xie Liangying's appearance in front of her was outstanding, and everyone also saw it. What is the basis for going to the second room? Taking a step back, it was the elder's thing, and she could give it to whoever she wanted, and she couldn't say anything.
But in the end, I was unwilling. Xie Liangting kept twisting the handkerchief in her hand, and it was almost crumple.
The grandmother of the Xie family wanted to persuade Xie Liangying to say a few words, but the mother-in-law of Erdaomen came over with a smile and a flower. "Old lady, lady, Miss Cousin is here."
The grandmother of the Xie family hurriedly called someone to pick it up, dressed herself, and stood up to greet her with the support of Ruma.
Miss Cousin of the Xie family, who else can there be besides Liu Chengfang. Xie Liangying forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, deliberately one step behind others, and followed behind others step by step, not showing herself. She was afraid that as soon as she saw Liu Chengfang's slut, she would rush forward uncontrollably.
She walked slowly, taking deep breaths and telling herself that now was not the best time for revenge. Now that she has no power, no power and no wealth, Taoguang is the best policy.
However, that hatred is not something that can be suppressed if it is suppressed, and when she saw Liu Chengfang for the first time, Xie Liangying still rushed up uncontrollably. When she lost her mind, she happened to step on Xie Liangqing. Xie Liangqing realized that she was wrong and secretly pulled the person back.
Looking at Xie Liangqing's concerned eyes, the anger in Xie Liangying's heart slowly extinguished. She shook her head at Xie Liangqing, raised a smile, signaled that she was fine, and followed her to stand behind the elders.
Liu Chengfang had already made a marriage with King Ke Chai Jin a few years ago, and now his face was full of spring breeze, and his face couldn't hide the joy.
The grandmother of the Xie family called "Ah Nan" and greeted her, and hugged Liu Chengfang in her arms, "Why haven't you come to see your grandmother for so long?" He took Liu Chengfang's face and looked at it carefully, hoping to see some of her daughter's shadow from the face similar to her daughter who died early, "I don't look thin, the Liu family treats you carefully, so I'll be relieved." β
Liu Chengfang said with a smile: "Look at what my grandmother said, if my grandfather and grandmother hear this, they will fight with you." β
The grandmother of the Xie family sighed and said, "I'm not specifically referring to them, it's your mother......"
Liu Chengmin smiled slightly, pursed his lips, and hugged the grandmother of the Xie family and said, "Let's go in and say, my grandmother is old, and standing for a long time is not good for the body." β
The grandmother of the Xie family listened to her and kept praising her.
Xie Liangying was caught in the crowd, secretly looking at the appearance of Liu Chengfang's soles of her feet, thinking that she must have lived a very comfortable life in the Liu family, and the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were carried by the concubine must have been cleaned up. She tried hard to recall Liu Chengfang's father's stepfamily in her previous life, but she couldn't remember it. I couldn't help but smile wryly.
If you want to say how stupid you were in your previous life, she was devoted to the Xie family, and even colluded with Liu Chengfang, so she didn't inquire about the inner story at all.
The Xie family rested in the flower hall that had been cleaned up, and the second lady took the lead in congratulating Liu Chengfang and said: "When the New Year passes, Ah Fang will become Princess Ke, don't forget your third sister and take her around the world more." Stuffed at home all day long, where can I find Ruyi Langjun like Ah Fang. β
The daughter's family was mentioned in public about marriage, and it was shy in the end. Xie Liangting pulled the second lady with a shy face, and said angrily: "Mother! β
The grandmother of the Xie family coughed, and her face was a little unpleasant. From the lipid recipe to her daughter's marriage, today's second lady is really too forgetful.
The second lady was also a clever person, and when she saw that the grandmother of the Xie family was dissatisfied with her, she stepped aside in a daze.
Liu Chengfang said: "What the second aunt said is a foreign word, how can I have real brothers and sisters in the Liu family?" Who can you help if you don't help the Xie family? As he spoke, he took the hand of the grandmother of the Xie family, "Where can the elbow be turned out." β
The second lady smiled, clapped her hands excitedly, and said happily: "That's the reason." β
"It's sweet for you." The grandmother of the Xie family was also coaxed by Liu Chengfang's words, but she was worried about her granddaughter's situation in the Liu family, so she still turned the conversation to the question that she had not finished speaking, "What do the Zeng family and your sister look like now?" β
Liu Chengfang exhaled a long breath, patted the dust on his legs, and looked around at the Xie family present, satisfying people's appetites. A flower bloomed on her lips, very bright, "Zeng? I was kicked out of the house by my father and grandparents. As if the news wasn't shocking enough, she continued, word for word, "And the daughter she gave birth to." β
Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at the grandmother of the Xie family.
Why haven't they heard about such a big thing? drove a housewife out of the house, no matter how big it was, there was no news in the capital.
Xie Liangying knew the reason, and she stared at Liu Chengfang's delicate smiling face expressionlessly.
