Chapter 66
The scene of a dozen or so carriages coming over was quite spectacular, and the long queue of people naturally focused on the ladies who were rarely seen on weekdays.
But the men of Feng Shengde did not pay attention to the commotion, and blindly expelled the beggars who made such trouble.
Zhou Yi, who paid close attention to this matter, also turned his eyes to the mighty convoy, the carriage headed by others did not know, he had seen the world in the capital, and he knew that it was from the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion as soon as he saw the sign hanging on it, and the one that followed closely behind was not unfamiliar, the Suzhou parent official Zheng Governor's house.
As for the carriage behind him, whether familiar or unfamiliar, he couldn't care about it, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask the people around him, "Where are all those ladies going?" You go and check it out for me......"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes were incredulous to see that the carriage of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion stopped first, and it was actually in front of the door of the Jade Skin Workshop, and suddenly the two solid silver balls in his hand fell to the ground because of the release of his hand, and they happened to hit his instep, but at this time, he didn't care about the pain, and muttered: "How is this possible?" I have checked that the owner of the Jade Skin Workshop has some relationship with the Governor Zheng family, but there is no kinship, why do so many dignitaries and nobles come to her shop...... "That's why he dealt with the Jade Skin Workshop with great fanfare.
How could the guy on the side answer his question, because he really didn't know, compared to Zhou Yi's surprised gaffe, he saw the scene downstairs, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Yi's sleeve, "Shopkeeper, no, those beggars rushed into the noble lady in the carriage first......"
Zhou Yi came back to his senses and looked over, only to see that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, who was being helped out of the carriage by the maid, had not yet stood still, and the beggar who was pushed by his guy almost hit the noble lady, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about the smashed feet, and hurriedly turned around and ran downstairs with a "knock".
"Who are you who dare to rush into our Mrs. Hou?" Holding Ye Zhong's brocade, he immediately asked angrily.
Ye Zhong's face was comparable to the bottom of a pot, and he waved it secretly with a handkerchief, the smell of the beggar was really unpleasant, but she who had always paid attention to face really couldn't get up on this occasion, so she could only look ugly.
But the beggar immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please let this lady testify for the little one, and Fengshengde beats people......
"Madam, no, they are deliberately here to make trouble...... Feng Shengde's man immediately sweated when he saw that he was not rich or expensive when he saw that he was not rich or noble.
Mrs. Zheng was supported by the maid and walked up from behind, "Mrs. Hou, what's wrong?" β
Ye Zhong pointed at the beggar with his finger, "It's not a big deal, Mrs. Zheng, this is under the governance of Governor Zheng, you should take care of these things." β
Although she didn't mean to overstep the bounds, her tone was still quite strict.
Madame Zheng nodded and glanced at the two arguing.
Feng Shengde's buddy grabbed the right to speak, "This person is here to make trouble, they are instructed by someone to come to us to deliberately make trouble, please Mrs. Mingjian......"
"This lady, does our national law stipulate that small people can't buy things here?" The beggar was quick to retort.
"Where did you get the money? A stinky beggar can't even eat, so how can he have the money to buy rouge gouache? β
"Why can't I buy it if I have money? Lao Tzu is a beggar today, but tomorrow is not. β
"Yo, this is clearly the ...... to make trouble."
The two pushed again, and it seemed that the other men and the beggar were about to clash again.
Lin Long stepped forward at the right time and saluted Mrs. Zheng, seeing Mrs. Zheng's angry expression, she said: "Mrs. Zheng, the little woman thinks that this rich and virtuous guy is right, a beggar who has money does not buy food, and prefers to buy rouge gouache, which makes no sense. β
Zhou Yi, who was hurrying over, heard what Lin Long, the owner of the Jade Skin Workshop, said, and couldn't help but be stunned, this Jade Skin Workshop was so squeezed by his Fengshengde that he couldn't do business, would he be so kind to say good things for him Fengshengde?
Lin Long couldn't refute what he said, after all, it made sense, and he stepped forward to salute Governor Zheng's wife, "Mrs. Zheng, it was the guys in Xiaomin's shop who mishandled the incident that collided with Mrs., Xiaomin hereby apologizes to Mrs., "She glanced at Lin Long gratefully," Miss Lin said righteously, and Zhou Yi admired. β
"Shopkeeper Zhou's words are serious." Lin Long smiled slightly.
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and they immediately had a good impression of Lin Long, Fengshengde and Yuskinfang are rivals, and they have been fighting fiercely in the past two days, just look at the storefront of this ice and fire, but Lin Long still said good things for Fengshengde regardless of the competition, which was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
Therefore, the praise of Lin Long for being a bright and upright person is endless.
Ye Zhong's sharp eyes swept around, listening to these whispers in his ears, and naturally he was also evaluating in his heart.
"Madam, the slave maid thinks that this Lin girl's behavior is really admirable, and the slave maid thinks that she doesn't have such a heart." Brocade said in a low voice, she had long seen the heart of the Ye family's mother and son, but Mrs. that layer of window paper would not be punctured, and she would not spoil Mrs. matter, but it was okay to say a word or two at the right time.
Ye Zhongshi glanced at the brocade, smiled faintly, and did not respond.
Mrs. Zheng looked at the beggar with a stern expression, "You didn't steal this money, did you?" β
"Madame is wronged, this is really not." The beggar swore to the sky, "This silver is obtained by the small ones with the help of good people, and it is always humiliating to be a beggar, as long as there is a small business to do, the small ones are willing." The rouge of Fengshengde is half discounted, and the small one thinks that as long as he can buy it, he will sell it in the town below, and when he changes hands, he can also make a difference, so he will borrow some silver from the great good people to do this business, but he knows that Fengshengde looks down on the small ones and fights each other......"
Crying while talking is also pitiful, although everyone heard a little incredible, but this beggar's idea is not wrong, first, Fengshengde's half-price discount is only two days old, people in a little farther area do not know at all, and second, to get it to the town and sell it to the rich, even if it is only sold at a price of 80%, this is also profitable, it is indeed better than begging.
"That sounds understandable...... Lin Long frowned slightly, "There is no explicit provision in the law that reselling is not allowed, and besides, there are fewer beggars in Suzhou City, and the streets are much more beautiful." β
Zhou Yi looked at the beggar hatefully, he lowered the price to squeeze Lin Long, not to let others make the difference, "Is this still not appropriate......?"
"Mrs. Ben thinks that Miss Lin is right, and she is less popular, which proves that Governor Su is well-governed, and it can also be regarded as a political achievement." Ye Zhongshi said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, what Mrs. Hou said is very ......," many noble ladies immediately echoed.
"Lord Futai has always loved the people like a son, and now more people have found a livelihood, which is indeed immeasurable......"
ββ¦β¦β
The sound of compliments is never less, and Mrs. Zheng's face is shining when she hears it, even the bad smell on the beggar's body, she doesn't seem to smell it, she nodded and smiled, "That's true, Lord Futai sees that the people under his rule are self-motivated, how can he be unhappy as a parent official?" β
Zhou Yi felt cold all over, did he intend to stop it when he heard this Mrs. Futai? Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Zheng say again: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you sell goods in your store, how can there be any reason not to let people buy them?" If they have money for your goods, you must sell them them. β
"Mrs. Zheng's righteousness." Lin Long immediately gave Mrs. Zheng a big gift.
For a while, Governor Zheng's reputation rose a lot, and Mrs. Zheng couldn't stop smiling, as long as her husband's assessment results were excellent and her career was prosperous, she would also be honored.
Zhou Yi had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and responded hesitantly.
When he raised his head again, he saw that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou and Mrs. Zheng had been welcomed into the Jade Skin Workshop by Lin Long, the fists in their hands were clenched very tightly, and his face was not able to describe it for fear of being ugly.
"Shopkeeper?"
Hearing the call of the guy, he glanced at him very angrily, and saw that because of the beggar's joining, many people covered their noses and quit the long line, and even even went to the Jade Skin Workshop to see the excitement.
Bei Mingfei pulled Lin Long, who was greeting guests, to the side, and pointed at Zhou Yi, who seemed to be constipated, with a smile, "You see that the shopkeeper Zhou is not very angry?" Well deserved! β
"Those who seek it for themselves have nothing to do with others." Lin Long gave a comment coldly.
"Ah Long, this purchase of Fengshengde's rouge costs a lot of silver, Ah Long, why don't we accept it when we see it? Now this is so Fengshengde is already a sure loss. "Bei Mingfei is not as bold as Lin Long, Lin Long told her last night that he would pay five hundred taels of silver to buy Fengshengde's rouge.
Of course, in order to support Lin Long, she also contributed her private money, and she also had eight hundred taels of silver, which added up to one thousand three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is a lie to say that she is not apprehensive, even her eldest brother is speechless, saying that these two little girls are crazy.
Lin Long turned his head to look at Bei Mingfei, "Do you think I'll fight a battle that I'm not sure of?" Ah Fei, don't worry, we will make a profit on this silver, you just wait for the private money to rise again. β
What those beggars said was not to deceive Zhou Yi, Lin Long did plan to sell this batch of Fengshengde's rouge to the town, at this time, she asked Hongmen's Fang Ye to have already released a rumor in the town, Fengshengde's rouge will be sold at an unprecedented seven-percent discount, as long as the day is over, the daughters of the rich families in the town will not let go of this opportunity.
They also go to the city once in a while, and the wind of half the price of this rich rouge can't blow in their ears for ten days or eight days, and when this thing spreads, the rouge in her hands is also sold out, is this not a steady profit?
Even if Zhou Yi wants to send people to the township to publicize now, I'm afraid that he won't be able to find anyone, there are many Hongmen disciples who can occupy Caoyun, and they can be as fast as they can let out the news?
She dared to pack the ticket, as long as it was less than three days, all the rouge of Fengshengde that she bought at half price would be cleared, after all, there was nothing louder than Fengshengde's brand.
Bei Mingfei still gasped, seeing her friend's heroic appearance, she suddenly increased her confidence, "Okay, Ah Long, I believe you." β
"What are you two girls talking about? He said that we were here to greet him, but now he is hiding to the side and whispering, which is unacceptable. Mrs. Zheng smiled.
Bei Shenshi smiled, "The girl's family loves to twitter together, and I am annoyed by her at home." β
"But no, if you don't tweet, it's not a girl's house......"
The sound of discussion in three words is also harmonious.
Only then did Bei Mingfei and Lin Long stop discussing, and hurriedly turned back to make amends.
Zheng Nanzhu also became the host of the house for a day, promoting the rouge gouache of the Jade Skin Workshop to many people.
Lin Nan was in the best mood, this was the most popular day in so many days, climbing high and low to get rouge gouache, and he didn't complain.
Ye Zhongshi looked at this small shop, although the sparrow was small but full of organs, his eyes fell on the skin ointment packed in a cloisonnΓ© enamel box in the most eye-catching position, and he couldn't help but point, "What is that?" Strange good-looking. β
Lin Long followed her fingers and looked over, this was not a new product she had made out early in the morning, so she hurriedly took it over and respectfully handed it to Ye Zhong's hand, "This is a skin cream, the latest product of the Jade Skin Workshop, Madame can open it and take a look." β
Ye Zhongshi can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and she has also seen more exquisite packaging than this, hearing Lin Long's smiling appearance, she opened it gently, and a fragrance wafted into her nose, "Strange smelling ......"
Lin Long took another box with a smile on his face, and opened it to Ye Zhong's family, "Mrs. Hou's face is actually yellowish, it is more suitable to use this one, it will aim at white skin, and it can also reduce fine lines......"
Ye Zhong's originally just asked casually, but now that he heard Lin Long say it in detail, he couldn't help but listen attentively.
The people around saw the enamel box in the hands of Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, and immediately turned their eyes to the rouge gouache in the eye-catching position, and they all looked at it, tried to wipe it, and sure enough, the skin was a lot smoother, and then smelled the taste, the fragrance was not strong, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and then I listened carefully to the jade skin workshop tailor-made for distinguished guests, and suddenly I was even more surprised, who doesn't like this thing that shows identity?
Zhou Yi, who was standing in front of his shop, saw the situation of the Jade Skin Workshop, and then looked at the decreasing long dragon in his house, and was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
In particular, there are beggars walking around the street with a look of surprise with a look of surprise on the rouge of Fengshengde, and someone has already whispered, "This rouge was originally for beggars, let's go, let's not buy it, no wonder we have to pay half price......"
"Let's go, let's go to the Jade Skin Fang, have you seen it, even Mrs. Futai is ......"
"Really?"
"Do you have eyes that don't know? I heard that her products are good, I have used them, you can see if the skin is tender and smooth......"
"I touched it, it seems like it's really ......"
"I heard that there is a new product launched in Jade Skin Fang today......"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhou Yi watched as the girls and young women who were supposed to help him turned around and went to the Jade Skin Workshop not far away, and stomped their feet fiercely.
Smelling a foul smell, he glared at the other party even more, and went upstairs with his hands in his hands.
The men also helplessly handed the wrapped rouge gouache to the beggar, and hurried away like flies.
It's just that one left, and only a few people took turn, and they were beggars, and their faces were the same as Zhou Yi, disgusted and hated, but Mrs. Futai spoke, and they had to buy it again.
"The shopkeeper seems to be losing money today." The bookkeeper sighed.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know who is behind this scene?" If Lao Tzu is caught, he must be skinned and tored. Hmph, Lao Tzu wants him to die. "Turn around and go downstairs.
"Shopkeeper?" The bookkeeper saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly called out.
Zhou Yi threw down a sentence, "I'll go to Hongmen's Fang Ye to discuss something." β
The bookkeeper immediately realized that this was the shopkeeper who wanted to kill the person behind the scenes, and found someone to spread the word that Fengshengde's rouge was only half price, as long as there was such a rumor in the town below, it would be difficult for that person to sell it.
However, he still let out a long sigh again, no matter what he did, Feng Shengde not only lost money but also lost his reputation this time.
Look at the jade skin shop is a gathering of celebrities, Fengshengde is beggars everywhere, which noble which is the lower riba people, at a glance, after this battle, this branch in Suzhou City is greatly injured.
Beauty is always the best way to communicate with each other, Ye Zhong's good impression of Lin Long is slowly climbing, the expression on his face is no longer upright, but sincerely asking for advice, who doesn't want to be beautiful?
Immediately bought four boxes of skin cream, four boxes of rouge, two boxes of gouache, five colors of cream, and three bottles of sesame oil from Lin Long...... There are all kinds of money, a total of nearly five hundred taels of silver was spent, of course, Lin Long, who got Ye Xuyao's words, didn't give a discount for a son, and other people's sons let go, of course she did her best to earn the most silver.
Your lady's purchasing power is amazing, Lin Long's newly packaged bottles and cans in the morning were sold out in just one morning, and some skin creams with strong wrinkle removal ability were sold out immediately, and she had to smile and compensate others, and said that they would be sent to the house as soon as they were available, and it was still twenty-five taels of silver, and there was no need for a penny of errands.
The other party will not really blame Lin Long, after all, Mrs. Xiangyang Hou and Mrs. Zheng account for the majority of these goods, they can't afford to offend these people, of course, they have to ask Lin Long to guarantee that they will be sent to them as soon as they have the goods, Lin Long is naturally busy responding.
The woman who was looking at this jade skin shop not far away frowned, and of course Lin Long's figure was indispensable in her eyes.
"Is this really a shop opened by the poor ghost Lin Long? Didn't lie to me? Cao Zhou asked the people around him.
"What am I lying to you about? This is indeed opened by that Miss Lin, you see, I stood for a while, she made so much, how much does she have to earn in this day? I said you used to think she was poor, but now you still think so? With this shop as a dowry, you can wake up laughing when you fall asleep. A fat woman winked at Cao Zhou.
Cao Zhou's eyes rolled, and his eyes stared at Lin Long quite hotly-

Sorry for being late, please forgive me! Tomorrow there will be more dreams of a certain one, and today can only be like this.
