Chapter 14: The Pavilion of Exquisite Beauty
"Linglong Pavilion? What is that place? Feng Yao asked in surprise. In fact, when she talked to Qin Susu about this topic, it wasn't that she couldn't understand what kind of place Linglong Hall was, but Qin Susu was clearly saying that she wanted to entrust someone just now? She has grown so big, she has never heard of buying a rouge gouache and asking someone! Even if my father was very famous in the countryside at the beginning, as long as I was patient and not afraid to wait, I could still buy it, and it would not be so serious to say that I trusted people!
"Don't you know the Linglong Pavilion?" This time, Qin Susu was surprised, she looked at Feng Yao and almost wanted to close the distance between the two of them again.
"What? Do I have to know? Feng Yao really didn't know, but she didn't think there was any fuss! There are so many places in this world that she doesn't know, what is a mere exquisite hall?
"You don't have to know, but after all, you're peers, so it's good to know some." Qin Susu smiled lightly, her smile was a little desolate.
"Peers? Linglong Hall also sells rouge gouache? It seems that Feng Yao's guess is not wrong, but it doesn't seem to be a happy thing to be so right.
"It's not a place where you usually sell rouge gouache. The Linglong Pavilion is a place dedicated to providing rouge gouache to harem girls! Because the Linglong Pavilion is a place dedicated to making rouge gouache for ladies, there are very few things circulating in the room. Every year, only so many things that are not liked by the girls can be reduced to the market. However, because the quality of the rouge gouache in the Linglong Pavilion is quite high, and there are many people who want to buy it, so if you don't ask someone who is familiar with the Linglong Pavilion, you can't buy it at all! It's not that my sister is picky, but she has such an obsession with this thing, so she knows some people in the Linglong Pavilion personally, and spends some silver taels every year to honor them, so you can get one or two of them. However, there are also times when the money of filial piety is spent, and it is not necessarily possible to get anything. Qin Susu is now a lot easier to talk about this, because she found out that Mo looked back, and she found that the quality of gouache here is not worse than that of Linglong Pavilion, there are a few things, she feels that it is better than the things in Linglong Pavilion.
"My dear! Can this business still be done royally? Feng Yao was dumbfounded when she heard this, she only knew how to do business with the people, but she didn't know that she could also do business with the royal family! And it's still so bullish! This is really the capital, and this place really opened the eyes of her, a little girl from the countryside. No wonder Daddy insisted on coming here in the first place, could it be that his old man still has the determination to become the second in the Linglong Pavilion? But according to Daddy's craftsmanship, not to mention making the second Linglong Pavilion, it is very possible to surpass the Linglong Pavilion! Feng Yao bit his lip and thought to himself.
"But now, it is said that the ladies of the harem have begun to save money, and they need a lot less rouge gouache. In this way, there are many rooms that are circulated, but the price is also surprisingly expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Qin Susu said.
"My sister knows that we don't look back, what are we doing wasting that money in vain?" Feng Yao smiled, and Qin Susu also nodded.
"I believe that with my father's craftsmanship, it will be a matter of time before I want to surpass the Linglong Pavilion! But, sister, you'll have to work harder! Feng Yao winked at Qin Susu.
"Me? Step up your game? What the? Qin Susu looked confused.
"Try to give us no further publicity!" Feng Yao smiled mischievously, and Qin Susu looked at this clever little girl and shook her head helplessly.
"By the way, sister, where is that Linglong Pavilion?" Feng Yao asked.
"How?" Qin Susu raised his head and met Feng Yao's searching gaze.
"I want to visit." Feng Yaodao.
"Not everyone can get in there! Don't say it's you, even my sister doesn't have a chance. "Qin Susu's words are definitely not alarmist, you must know that doing business with the royal family is not as simple as just thinking about making money. From the selection of materials to the production, every link must be extra careful, not to mention, but also to strictly control the evil intentions of bad people. Therefore, the Linglong Pavilion will never make a living from the outside world, if it is not careful, which Niangniang's life is wanted, even if it is not a life, which Niangniang's face is ruined, not to mention a Linglong Pavilion, even ten hundred Linglong Pavilions can not afford it!
"What? Don't call people in yet? ”
"Of course! People are a place dedicated to making rouge for the mother, how can we get in? But you can go to Mr. Zhong's house to have a look. Qin Susu didn't want to disappoint Feng Yao, although she knew that for Feng Yao, it was not difficult to enter the Zhong family's mansion, but it was not difficult to see outside the Zhong family's mansion.
"Old Man Zhong's house? What am I going to do there? Feng Yao looked disdainful.
"Because Master Zhong is the owner of the Linglong Pavilion!" Qin Susu smiled slightly.
"Master Zhong? The owner of the Linglong Pavilion? What a big official! Feng Yao snorted, but, wait, Master Zhong...... Why is this Master Zhong so familiar? Feng Yao was suspicious in his heart.
"How did you hear about it?" Qin Susu asked.
"I don't know! I think I've heard it. Feng Yao thought about it carefully, but she didn't seem to have much impression in her mind, but according to Xiao Zheng, her brain was to pretend to be messy all day long, and who knows which thing to mix with is not impossible!
"Recently, the Miss Zhong family who has been rumored all over the capital about the divorce incident is the daughter of Master Zhong." Qin Susu lowered her voice, and Feng Yao, she always felt that she had endless words.
"Divorce incident? The daughter of the Zhong family? Master Zhong? The owner of the Linglong Pavilion? The fragments in Feng Yao's mind quickly came out into a line. If that's the case, isn't the man who got out of the marriage resting in her room in the backyard? So, the object of Lan Yi's divorce is Master Zhong's daughter? What kind of logic is this? According to Qin Susu, the power of this Zhong family should also be extraordinary, after all, it can do business with the royal family! In this way, it seems that the Lan family should also be a good match! Then why did this Lan Yi still run away? Feng Yaomao's question in his head.
"This Master Zhong is so powerful, why can his daughter still be divorced?" Feng Yao seemed to be muttering to himself, but Qin Susu listened to it sincerely.
"How can outsiders know the mystery of such a thing! However, Master Zhong was disgraced in the capital this time, and Miss Zhong was also miserable by the Lan family who withdrew from the marriage! It's really hard to think that such a thing happened to a lady who is a big girl. Qin Susu also expressed deep sympathy for that Miss Zhong family, only Feng Yao didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have too many expressions.
"Alright, it's not too early, and I should go back too! I took all these rouge gouaches of yours, and I don't know if there is enough money at all, so my sister will put it away first. Qin Susu got up, took out two ingots of silver from his arms, put them on the table, and stood up.
"What? That's it? Then I'll wrap all of these for my sister. Feng Yao suddenly came back to his senses, found a package, and wrapped the fat powder.
"Thank you, sister, if I am free in the future, I will come to you to chat." Walking to the door, Qin Susu held Feng Yao's hand and said.
"That's natural, I'm also going to visit my sister in Fengyazhai." Feng Yao grinned, Qin Susu wanted to say something, but looking at that innocent smiling face, he could only swallow the words of refusal.
It turned out that Qin Susu came in a sedan chair, and the sedan chair man had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Qin Susu coming out, he immediately greeted her and took over the burden in her hand, and picked up the sedan curtain to wait for Qin Susu.
"That sister, I'll go first today, let's not look back, I'll work hard." Qin Susu pursed her lips and smiled.
"Then thank you, sister." Feng Yao waved to Feng Yao, who got on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair man lowered the sedan curtain and lifted the small sedan chair to leave.
Feng Yao stood there and didn't wait to turn around but saw Xiao Zheng's figure, "Dad! Feng Yao shouted.
"What are you looking at when you stand at the door?" Xiao Zheng was a little displeased, but his eyes also glanced at the sedan chair, and it was just a glimpse, and he couldn't see who was in it at all, but looking at the appearance of the sedan chair man, he should be a very light person, or a woman, because the sedan chair man's steps were very relaxed.
"Dad, I made a big deal today and sold it for a hundred taels of silver!" Feng Yao smiled and stretched out ten fingers, Xiao Zheng glanced at it and asked calmly, "Then I have to know how much fat powder we don't give away?" ”
"Dad, aren't you worried about me doing things? How can I make a loss-making deal? Feng Yao was coquettish.
"Have you done less at a loss? Just a few days ago, you took so much of my fat powder and exchanged it for two ingots of gold, do you know that my box of skin gel is not sold for a hundred taels of gold! Xiao Zheng brought up the old matter again, and Feng Yao was a little embarrassed.
"Daddy, don't be angry! How do I know we're not going back and adding something so valuable? I haven't seen anything in years...... Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, this time I promise, there is no condensation lotion for a while, and Daddy's quasi-insurance is earned! Not only did I earn money, but I also earned a sister. Seeing that Xiao Zheng was going to teach some lessons, Feng Yao hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Sister?" Xiao Zheng was stunned.
"Hmmm! My sister who had a special conversation with me. At this time, Xiao Zheng didn't know that Feng Yao went to a place like Feng Yazhai last time, and Feng Yao couldn't say anything at the moment, so she didn't say anything about her acquaintance with Qin Susu.
"With your mouth, dead people can tell you that you are alive, and who else doesn't want to talk to you? But this is the capital, not compared to our countryside, people are unpredictable, you better stay at home honestly, don't walk around. Xiao Zheng's face was gloomy, his brows were a little tight, and he sat directly on the chair next to him when he entered the room, looking like he was still thinking about something.
"I was sitting in the house and that sister fell from the sky!" Feng Yao took a bowl and poured Xiao Zheng a glass of water and put it in his hand, she has been living without rules for more than ten years, but I don't know why since she saw Qin Susu, she felt that such an unorthodox life should be changed, at least, she should buy some tea bowls and teapots for drinking tea!
