Chapter 33: Angus's Speculation
"Bear with me, my lovely Elaine, it's not home after all." The father in front was a little helpless and said a few words of comfort.
"I don't care, it's so uncomfortable to have so many people huddled together."
"Okay, okay. Dad went to discuss it with the store manager. ”
The father, who had gray temples, looked at his daughter with a doting face, and asked the housekeeper behind him to ask the maid in the store where the store manager was.
After a while, a noble lady in a purple dress, wearing a black lace veil and black silk gloves on her hands, walked down the stairs.
"Long time no see, Angus, how did you become so rude." The lady and the wealthy merchant seemed to be old acquaintances.
"It's surprising, it's been a long time since I've seen Lady Filia, I didn't expect you to open this shop, I'm really sorry."
"Elaine, come and say hello, this is Lady Filia, the once famous Cangzhi Song Ji of the mainland, haven't you always admired it, this time it's a real person."
"Hello Lady Filia." The girl in the blue dress lowered her head a little nervously, and saluted with her skirt in a restrained manner, but her movements were not very standard, and she completely lost her flying and domineering just now.
She never imagined that she would meet the star she admired here today.
Cangzhi Song Ji is a title famous in the mainland, and only the best Song Ji has always been able to inherit this title, and she is the guest of honor of the royal families and nobles of various countries, and has great influence in the folk and high circles. Every time there is a concert, there will be a full house, a ticket is hard to find, it is said that at that time, the most expensive time actually fried 10 gold coins a piece, this is just a standing ticket.
Although Lady Filia has been retired for many years, she still has a great reputation and influence in the circle.
The only one on the continent who can be as famous as the Song of the Sky is the Scarlet Song Queen, and these two titles represent the highest glory of the world of Ivar in terms of singing and acting.
And since Lady Filia retired, a new generation of Cang no Song has not appeared for a long time. Because there is no new generation of singers who can be recognized by everyone to get this name.
"Lady Filia, can I learn to sing with you?" The girl in the blue dress looked at the legendary figure in front of her with a wistful expression.
"Unfortunately, I don't accept students anymore. If you're interested in singing, there are a lot of great singers in Hopland that you can learn from. ”
The girl in the blue dress was a little lost, and her eyes turned to her father.
Angus touched his daughter's head and looked at Lady Filia.
"Can you be accommodating, Filia, we've known each other for a long time."
"You know my principles, Angus." The lady shook her head.
The two talked again, and then the wealthy merchant led his daughter to the table at Lorain Hill.
The other tables were basically full, and then there were some men and lovers together, but Loren Hill's table was a little quiet as long as she was alone.
"Hello, can we share a table?" The wealthy merchant asked politely.
"Yes." Loren Hill replied softly, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his hood, revealing only his delicate chin and silver hair.
Recalling the rejection of her idol just now, Elaine, the girl in the blue dress, was a little sullen and ate ice cream angrily.
The father next to her touched her long hair dotingly, comforting his daughter.
The previous butler did not come in, but waited in the carriage outside the store.
After a while, Elaine got a cold stomach because she ate too much ice cream and went to the bathroom, leaving only Loren Hill and the middle-aged wealthy businessman.
Lorain Hill took a small sip of the ice cream, the cold touch melted in his mouth, and a rich milky sweetness spread in his mouth.
"I don't know where they got the milk." The girl couldn't help but be a little curious, and whispered.
"It should have come from the Gufia grassland, but this should be brewed with dry milk powder, and it is too difficult to transport fresh milk."
Angus heard the girl's question and explained casually.
"Isn't the Gufia steppe a place for orcs?"
"Yes, they graze cattle on the grasslands, and they mainly produce furs, milk, and meat, and trade them for daily necessities, and if they can buy them from there, they can make a small profit if they can transport them to Vegal." Angus showed his true colors as a businessman, and said casually, this is not a secret, but there are some risks, and there are not many people who do business.
From the Gufia steppe in the north to Verga in the south, the Zephyr Kingdom has to pass through in between, but at present, the Zephyr Kingdom is not very stable, and various internal uprisings and independence are frequent.
Angus explained that business on this route has not been easy in recent years.
Is it an uprising, the girl can't help but think of the boy named Pullman, forget it, I should have thought too much.
"Are you a merchant in Verga, I feel very familiar with what you say." The girl's melodious voice came from under the hood.
"Yes, I used to be a member of the Zephyr Kingdom, and in my early years, in order to survive, I went to work in Verga in the south, and I have made some money over the years."
Loren Hill's voice was very soft and agile, and Angus, although he couldn't see her face clearly, was happy to answer some simple questions.
Then the two talked, and at first Angus just thought that the girl in front of him should be a young lady who was born in a noble family and had sneaked out to travel, so he didn't care much.
But after chatting, he found that although Lorain Hill didn't know much about the market, his ideas in business marketing were simply unheard of, and all kinds of novel concepts surprised him, a well-informed businessman.
What bundling, buy one get two free, lucky draw, third-level agent distribution, viral advertising, hunger marketing, etc., even if you listen to it, you can feel the incomparable charm. And for the psychology of customers' various purchases, the girl also said very appropriately, which made Angus a little doubtful that he had not yet started the business after so many years.
"If you say that you are a princess who stole out of the Verdant Empire, I believe it."
Angus looked at the girl opposite, the black robe, which seemed to be made of some kind of high-grade material, there were still small droplets of water sliding down the corners, and the delicate face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, even if he sat so close, he couldn't really see it, it should be a hat with an extraordinary effect, blurring his vision.
Her hands were wearing gray silk gloves, but the whiteness that emerged from the cuffs and between the gloves showed that the girl's skin was extremely well maintained, and it was by no means an ordinary family.
The accent of the speech is also very standard, so that it is impossible to tell where it is, which is usually only required by the children of the great aristocracy.
"I'm just a normal person." Loren Hill shook his head, denying Angus's speculation.
