Since the low-key opening of the Gold Powder Society a few months ago, it has become the most important event for the ladies of Kyoto every Wednesday.

Those who are qualified members like to hold banquets after the opening of the company, showing off their newly dyed nails and newly combed hairstyles to the noble ladies who have not joined the company.

Those who did not have the qualifications to be members were tickled by the new gadgets displayed by the members of the Gold Powder Club from time to time, so they had to go around saying good things and ask for recommendations from members.

But for some reason, the Gold Powder Society has been slow to recruit new members.

A few noble ladies who provoked a few blushing eyes secretly whispered: "This gold powder society is not just a trick made by businessmen, but just a few more combing ladies and nail dyeing ladies." It's all things that serve people, and who are you pretending to be? ”

"In my opinion, it's okay if this gold powder club doesn't enter!"

"Who's to say it isn't?" The other ladies hurriedly chimed in: "Isn't it just a few new buns and new nails, we can get them ourselves!" ”

The ladies were talking energetically, and suddenly saw their maidservants running in a hurry, each holding a post with gold leaf in their hands: "Lady, the Gold Powder Club will have a tea tasting party tomorrow, and it is also open to non-members!" ”

"What 'non-members' are 'open'? Let's make it clear, what new tricks is the Gold Powder Society going to do? The noblewoman was dizzy by the garbled words in the maid's mouth, and couldn't help but knock on the maid's forehead.

"It's not the slave who said it, it's what it says on this post." The maidservant hurriedly lowered her head aggrievedly: "I heard from the guy who sent the post, even tomorrow's tea tasting will be able to participate in the post!" ”

As soon as her words fell, she had previously scolded the gold powder society for having a gimmick, and the eyes of the ladies who had no ability immediately lit up like starlight: "Is this true?" If you don't have to be a member, can you participate in tomorrow's event? ”

"That's what the man said."

"Show me—" The ladies were about to take the post with joy on their faces, and they couldn't help but look embarrassed when they remembered their previous bold words.

It was still a responsive lady who grabbed the post and said, "I'm going to go tomorrow to see, this gold powder club praises itself so much, how much real ability does it have!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." She started, and the other ladies also reacted, and they took the name card one after another, and said, "Let's go tomorrow to see how powerful this dressing lady of the Gold Powder Club is!" ”

Early the next morning, no matter which fang the ladies lived in, anyone who could get an invitation got up early to make up.

The rouge is thick, and it looks gaudy. It's not good to have a light lipstick, and it looks dull. The fallen horse bun is not dignified, and the reverse bun is not imposing.

The ladies and ladies changed their clothes and makeup, how to look at it and how they were not satisfied: "This tea tasting party, as the name suggests, is to taste tea." If you don't dress ceremoniously for such an elegant thing, won't you lose your identity? ”

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on the robe that made Princess Renshou shine recently: "Let's wear this." ”

"Jiaojiao'er, can this tea really work as well as you say?" In front of the villa, Zhou looked apprehensively at the entrance of the street.

In the past few days, the number of aristocratic guests who have made custom robes has gradually become scarce, and she has locked herself in the study so bald that she can't think of another new style that is so unique.

Jiao Jiaoer mysteriously pulled her to plan today's tea party, and said that this move could make the sales of literary robes go to a higher level.

In this regard, she is full of expectations, but she really can't understand Jiaojiao'er's layout.

Jiao Jiao'er plans to encourage the ladies to buy robes in the same way that she encouraged the ladies not to buy bargains before, so she will also open the event to non-members?

But what about the 'style' of the gold powder club after that? Jiao Jiaoer doesn't look like a person who can do things like killing chickens and taking eggs?

Zhou's mind was full of doubts, but Du Baozhu was confident. Seeing that the first carriage had already reached the corner of the street, she hurriedly returned to the concierge: "Second aunt, you can receive guests with peace of mind." We'll see in a moment. ”

This child, the mysterious God, what can I see?

While speaking, the guest's carriage had stopped, and Zhou had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his stomach and greet him with a smile.

The first one to come was Mrs. Tobe Langnaka, who had never been able to join the company before.

This lady is a step-room, and now she is double ten, and she is the most pretty. Zhou had dealt with her in the past, and knew that she was very fond of finding faults and picking up cheap, so he had been reluctant to let her join the company.

But today is a public event, and the plague god can only endure when he comes to the door: "Su Niangzi." ”

"Mrs. Zhou." Mrs. Su stepped on the back of the slave and got out of the carriage, with a graceful demeanor, but the words she said were very hurtful: "You, you are really cheerful." I heard that you were divorced a few days ago, and I wanted to comfort you, but you didn't have anything to do, and you can still make such a new deal, which is really shameful. ”

Zhou grinded his back molars and tried to maintain a smile: "Isn't it that I have no support, so I can only work by myself, how can I be sad." ”

"Hey," Su Niangzi seemed to be unable to see her embarrassment, and sighed with a smile: "It's cheaper, that Liu Tainiang, we are not worth it for you." ”

She had to say again, fortunately, the second guest's carriage was approaching, which relieved Zhou: "Mrs. Wu, I haven't seen you for many days, why has it been reduced a lot?" ”

The Gold Powder Society is now quite famous among the noblewomen, and after the invitations were widely distributed, there were really many guests who came. After receiving several people in a row, Zhou finally noticed an abnormality: "Jiaojiao'er, why are so many people wearing robes?" But did you attach a request to the sticker? ”

"It's not that I let them wear them, but the role of the robe is highlighted." Du Baozhu had already prepared for this, and said with a smile: "When we designed the robe, didn't we always have to be solemn and elegant?" Isn't this tea fair the most suitable occasion to wear a robe? ”

Zhou is not stupid, Du Baozhu said a little, and she immediately understood the intention of this tea tasting meeting. couldn't help pinching Du Baozhu's cheek: "You girl has a lot of ideas." ”

When the banquet officially began, Zhou glanced at all the guests and found that there were seven adults wearing robes. Because all the people present are noble women who are not short of money, the robes are all custom-made, and there is no situation where the two of them wear styles.

On the contrary, those noble ladies who did not wear robes, sitting in the crowd wearing robes, looked a little out of place, and even their momentum was a little weaker.

Tobe Langzhong's wife, Sushi, is one of the people who did not wear a robe.

Relying on her youth, she deliberately chose an eighteen long skirts with a chest and a golden shawl. I wanted to overwhelm the crowd, but who knew that sitting in a group of dignified and elegant ladies was not like a lady who came to taste tea, but like a dancing girl who danced for the ladies during the banquet.

was so angry that she even forgot about joining the club, and hurriedly left before she was halfway through.

The other ladies did not react as violently as Su's, but those who wore robes couldn't help but secretly congratulate themselves on chasing fashion and buying a set of robes, while those who didn't wear robes regretted that they had made a mistake in their brains, why didn't they wear robes to the banquet.

When the tea tasting was over, many ladies didn't even return to the house, so they went directly to the studio.

As a result of this campaign, the trend of the robe was once again pushed to a high place, and it became the most formal dress for women in Kyoto when visiting relatives and friends. The Gold Powder Society took the opportunity to launch several makeup looks that matched the robe and swore to make its position as a trend vane in Beijing more stable.

The January appointment expires in the blink of an eye.

Shopkeeper He took his apprentice to dial the abacus for a few days, and finally figured out how much money he had earned from the batch of fabrics he received from Sun Fang.

"Little lady, this, this ......"

Shopkeeper He originally thought that after experiencing the last promotion conference, he had already gained insight and would not make a fuss again. After calculating the profits Du Ji made from this batch of fabrics, he still couldn't help but rub his eyes.

He's right? This batch of cloth was sold for four thousand taels of silver.

You must know that these cloths are not soaked in water, and they are only worth five thousand taels. Even a powerful imperial merchant like Sun Fang couldn't sell the defective fabric, and now it is only 20% of the income!

Sure enough, it is still a woman's money that is the best to earn, and it is the same in ancient and modern times. When Du Baozhu heard this result, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The cloth was so moldy that two percent of the fabric couldn't do anything, so it could only be used to paste the soles. The remaining eighty percent of the fabric, she originally only expected to sell most of it and make a profit of two thousand taels, and the pressure of the tea garden was eased. I didn't expect ordinary people in Kyoto to have so much money in their pockets.

"Little lady." Shopkeeper He's hands and feet trembled, and he knelt in front of Du Baozhu with a 'plop': "The servant has a son, who has just turned twelve this year, can read and write, and will plan to plate." If the little lady doesn't dislike it, please take him by her side and make a call. ”

He can understand that the little lady is not an ordinary person at all, it is clearly the dragon girl next to the Bodhisattva! If the stinky boy in the family can win the favor of the little lady, it will be a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation!

Where could Du Baozhu guess that Shopkeeper He had such a boundless idea, only when he wanted his son to become a Chan and wanted his son to learn some skills from her.

Anyway, there is already a difficult wolf cub around me, and putting a sheep is also a release, and putting a group of sheep is also a release. She nodded in agreement, "Just send him." ”

Chen Niao was like a great enemy, and secretly pulled Lu Ming: "The little lady thinks I'm useless?" ”

It was he who patted his chest and promised that everyone would have something to eat, so that his partners did not follow Zhang Gan to the south. Now that the gang is gone, if they are driven out of the tea garden at this time, I am afraid that the partners will not survive this winter.

Lu Ming didn't know what the wolf cub was thinking about again, so he smiled and rubbed his grassy head: "Shopkeeper He only said that his son was literate and planned to do something, but he didn't say that he knew martial arts." Although you study martial arts with your heart, when you can beat me, the little lady will not dislike you if anyone is useless. ”

Chen Niao looked up at the deer who was a head above him, and was a little eager to try.

Lu Ming was startled by his fierce eyes, and hurriedly slapped him on the forehead: "If you want to beat us to the martial arts training ground, don't you really want to get rid of me!" ”

The account of the cloth has been settled, and Du Baozhu came to the Sun Mansion with the agreed share.

After Sun Fang was taken away by Tian Lingzi from the most profitable shipyard, he was very low-key, and he was fighting parrots in the garden at this time.

When he saw Du Baozhu, he smiled and asked the beautiful maid on the side to take the parrot away: "Du Niangzi, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

The two are thousand-year-old fox spirits, and they only confronted each other in the public court half a month ago, but they met at this time.

"Isn't this the expiration of January, and I will share the account with Boss Sun." Du Baozhu glanced at the subordinate beside him with clear eyebrows, and the subordinate quickly spread the account book in front of Sun Fang and explained carefully.
