Chapter 192: Giving It for Nothing?
Finally came the day of the opening of "Laughing Spring Breeze", on this day, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers were ringing, Le Xuan completely copied the opening model of Xinhua Bookstore, and it was a performance, and it was a gift, and the opening of "Laughing Spring Breeze" made everyone in Beijing know.
However, compared with Xinhua Bookstore, the opening ceremony of "Laughing Spring Breeze" is obviously grander, and there are countless people who come to watch the ceremony, but the congratulatory gifts have piled up in the store and have nowhere to stay, and there are plaques and couplets with the inscription of His Majesty in front of the door.
The interior of the store is very luxurious, magnificent, and exudes a local tyrant atmosphere from the inside out.
These elements discourage ordinary people, but the audience of "Laughing Spring Breeze" is indeed not for ordinary people, and the price of transparent glass products, various soaps and perfumes and flower water that will be sold in the future will not be low, at least before the process is improved, the price will not drop, so it is destined that ordinary people cannot afford to consume at present.
However, it doesn't matter whether you have spending power or not, it doesn't affect the people to join in the fun, and by the way, you can get a free gift or something.
The whole opening process is exactly the same as Xinhua Bookstore, first by Le Xuan's speech, and then lasted for an hour of performance, it is worth mentioning that the women also presented a song of neon clothes and feathers, but only Su Lanzhu, Cuiyun, and Xiaochan showed their faces on stage.
This was followed by a speech by the shopkeeper and a ribbon cutting, which were all over before the official start of business, and the distribution of gifts was also carried out simultaneously.
This gift is not like the gadgets that are directly purchased in large quantities like in Jiangxia, which are all customized by Le Xuan, and they are also engraved with the words "Laughing Spring Breeze" and a logo similar to peach blossoms.
On the basis of copying Chen Siye's model, Le Xuan also played a little more, and let the price on the first day of opening be 10%, that is, a 9% discount, and there was no discount at this time.
I don't know if the price has worked, anyway, it was less than two hours before the start of sales, all the goods in the store have been sold out, and the soap is a cup of tea has been sold out, the order has been soft, and the limit for the next few days has been booked out, which makes Le Xuan feel surprised and deserved.
Why is it so popular? The early publicity is one thing, the novelty of the commodity is also the other, and more importantly, the soap and glaze of the "laughing spring breeze" have been personally designated by His Majesty for the royal use, so as long as it is a little powerful, they are all eager to go.
Although the soap is more than ten times more expensive than the bath beans, in fact, ordinary people can't afford to use the bath beans, and those who can use the bath beans don't care about the money, and the queen mother in the palace also praised it after hearing that the soap was used, and bluntly said that it was hundreds of times better than the bath beans.
The most noble women in the big season have said so, how can those noble ladies and young ladies not be moved? And because this soap is available in limited quantities, it is even more popular than glass products.
Chen Siye did not attend the opening ceremony, he stayed in the house under the pretext of stomach pain, firstly, because he could imagine how many people there would be, and he didn't want to join in the excitement; second, because he didn't have anything to do when he went, at most he just took a look; The third is because yesterday Jin Hongtai sent a letter again, inviting him to go to Pingxi Wangfu today.
In fact, the first two reasons are the excuses that Chen Siye made for himself, and the real reason is the third one, just taking advantage of the absence of all the women, to meet the little lover for a while, oh no, the lord of Xuanyang for a while, how exciting.
Time returned to the morning, when I heard that Chen Siye couldn't get out of bed because of a stomachache, the girls also came to visit together, which made him feel a little guilty, and he struggled for a long time to go to Pingxi Wangfu, but in the end, the villain who was a little bad in his heart won, so Chen Siye decided to go for a while.
After all, no matter how you say it, you have to give Jin Hongtai face, and he and Jin Hongyi really have nothing, and it's not an affair when he goes, it's just a normal visit, Chen Siye explained himself.
I think so, but this matter still has to be kept secret, after the girls left, Chen Siye and Xiangling Miaozhu said that he wanted to sleep, no matter who came, don't disturb him, and after getting the assurance of the second daughter, he closed the door, took the paintbrush, and poured two small porcelain bottles of defective perfume, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was there to continuously use the shapeshifter from the back window to change the shadow and went out of the house unconsciously.
The two bottles of perfume were to be given to Jin Hongyi and Princess Pingxi respectively, after all, I was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed.
Because the perfume that worked well before has been divided, so I can only give it away this time, but when this perfume is not yet on the market and only belongs to the internal special, it is enough to send this perfume.
Today, the streets of the inner city are empty, and you can see a carriage or a maid and servant on weekdays, obviously they are all going to join in the fun today, so it's okay, he has exposed his identity in the province.
Pingxi Wangfu is not far from the county lord's mansion, and after walking for a while, he arrived at the place, still the servant who was waiting at the door with a smile on his face last time, and when he saw Chen Siye, the servant was shocked, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "Chen Gongzi, why did you come on foot?" ”
"Take a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine." Chen Siye was too lazy to tell him too much, so he put down this sentence, it was early, and there was nothing wrong with saying that he had just had breakfast.
The servant suddenly realized, and said in his heart that this Chen Gongzi is so highly educated, what he wants to say will not be false. So he put this in his heart, and later brought the trend of walking a hundred steps after dinner in Beijing, of course, this is a later story.
With the servants, Chen Siye entered the Pingxi Palace, and came to a place that looked like a study, only to see the servant step forward and knock on the door: "Childe, Gongzi Chen has arrived." ”
After speaking, he turned to Chen Siye and said, "Chen Gongzi, my son-in-law is in the study, and the little one won't help you open the door, so I will retire first." With that, he bowed and turned to leave.
didn't think much about it, Chen Siye pushed the door directly and entered, and saw Jin Hongtai wearing a moon-white robe, standing by the window with his back to him, Chen Siye stepped forward and smiled: "Brother Jin, I'm not too late, right?" ”
However, Jin Hongtai didn't respond, standing still, Chen Siye couldn't help but step forward and patted him on the shoulder and wondered: "Brother Jin, what do you think so distracted?" ”
This pat suddenly felt a little wrong, not like a man's shoulder, and after a closer look, the person in front of him was slightly lower than him, Chen Siye suddenly understood, and asked, "But... His Royal Highness? ”
"Haha!" The sudden burst of laughter startled Chen Siye, and when he turned around, he saw Jin Hongtai walking out of the corner, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen's eyesight is not good, I thought that Brother Chen would be able to see that it was Hongyi at a glance." ”
At this time, the man also turned around, and Jin Hongyi, who was indeed dressed in men's clothes, the two brothers and sisters were wearing exactly the same clothes, both in white robes, Jin Hongyi's face was slightly red and said, "Chen Gongzi." ”
Chen Siye couldn't help but say: Who would have guessed that you would play such a boring game.
"It's my clumsiness, your brother and sister are too similar to each other to see for a while."
Jin Hongtai laughed again and said, "Brother Chen, what do you think Hongyi is dressed up today?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Siye looked Jin Hongyi up and down carefully, and she also turned around cooperatively, smiling at Chen Siye without any shame.
Not to mention that Jin Hongyi's temperament is completely different after wearing men's clothes, her eyes are like bright stars, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and with this extraordinary height, she really looks like a man.
It's just that the thin eyebrows and the proud feminine features of some place look a little incongruous.
"His Royal Highness the county lord is really handsome and heroic today, if I hadn't met His Highness several times, I'm afraid I would have mistaken it for a son." Chen Siye turned to Jin Hongyi again and said.
When Chen Siye turned around, Jin Hongtai hurriedly glanced at Jin Hongyi, Jin Hongyi gave her brother a look, Jin Hongtai immediately understood, and said cooperatively: "Brother Chen, you are already so familiar, you don't have to be so outside, just call Hongyi like me." ”
Jin Hongyi replied with a beautiful look when she heard this, and looked at Chen Siye with a little expectation.
"It's... Isn't it a little too intimate? ”
Jin Hongyi then blurted out: "It's okay, Chen Gongzi doesn't have to think about it, just call me Hongyi, I..." It's like you're calling me that too much. ”
Even Jin Hongtai was a little surprised when he heard this, and Chen Siye couldn't help but say: Is it so exciting? Then simply call the wife. Is it so direct that you want to give it away for nothing?
Thinking so in his heart, Chen Siye naturally would not refuse, so he said: "Then I will take the liberty, Hong Yi..."
A hint of pink appeared on Jin Hongyi's face, and she responded softly.
On the side, Jin Hongtai glanced at Jin Hongyi again, and smiled: "Brother Chen, it's rare that there is nothing else to do today, it just so happens that both of you are knowledgeable and talented, so you treat Hongyi as a man, and the three of us can sit down and talk about it together?" ”
Chen Siye originally thought that Jin Hongtai invited him this time to ask him to continue to paint Jin Hongyi's portrait, and he also specially brought a paintbrush, but until now he still doesn't understand what is going on, it is to create opportunities for the two of them, he is really a good brother of Daji.
At this time, men and women generally can't sit together, Jin Hongtai said so, and Jin Hongyi also deliberately changed into men's clothes, probably just to not create pressure on him.
After all, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been sincerely afraid, how could he dare to sit at the same table with the county lord, but Chen Siye was naturally not an ordinary person, so he immediately agreed: "This is very good, I want to ask for advice." ”
In fact, it is said that the three of them are talking, but in fact, most of them are just Chen Siye and Jin Hongyi talking, and Jin Hongtai is just talking a few times, just like accompanying guests.
And most of the chatter was about Chen Siye, Jin Hongyi seemed to be particularly interested in him, and kept asking him about his past experiences.
So what they talked about was actually Chen Siye's history of pretending.
After chatting about the history of pretending to be coerced, and talking about what happened when he was a child, Chen Siye had anything to do when he was a child, so he brought out the Shushan faction and talked about it again, and Jin Hongtai sighed while listening, and he still remembered the things that made Chen Siye show him a deep blow before.
