Chapter 61: Urging
"You really smell so good, I didn't believe it when Mrs. Fang Cai told me, but now that I see the girl and smell the smell of the girl, I believe that there is indeed a fragrance on the girl, very elegant, very chic, very natural, unlike the incense powder outside, the smell is so strong that it makes people sick."
Qinghe raised his head and pleaded: "I should have waited for Mrs. to rest, but Mrs. was always worried about the fragrance on the girl's body, so she had to let me come over for a visit, saying that it was for me to ask, did the girl say last time that the development of perfume was completed?" ”
As soon as Fang Tian said this, he remembered the true purpose of his coming today.
She flipped out the perfume bottle in her sleeve, shook it in front of Qing He's eyes, and said with a smile: "That's right, I have successfully prepared an orchid perfume with the essential oil extracted from orchids. ”
Qing He's eyes followed the swaying little white porcelain bottle, and turned around: "Madame is inconvenient to go out now, it is okay for me to inspect the goods on behalf of Madame, girl, you can bring it over and let me take a look." ”
Fang Tian smiled and handed over the small porcelain bottle in his hand: "Because there are not many orchids blooming in autumn, I am not good at collecting raw materials, so the number of perfumes prepared is not much, and it is not good enough." ”
Qing He shook his head, his eyes kept staring at the small porcelain bottle.
When she opened the lid of the small porcelain vase, a fragrance came to her nose, causing her eyes to be confused and intoxicated.
"The smell of this perfume is really chic, it feels like holding a lot of orchids in your hand, elegant and sweet, and it seems to have the function of orchid aroma to calm the nerves, it's really interesting!"
Qinghe's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't stop praising him.
"I just don't know, how should this perfume be used?"
Fang Tian smiled and took the small porcelain vase and performed the use of perfume in front of her: "It only takes a little bit to make the whole body stained with the scent of orchids." ”
Qinghe couldn't help nodding: "This perfume is really chic, I'm afraid that there is only a girl here in the whole world, and those noble wives in the capital definitely don't have it, just for this, Madame will definitely like it." ”
Qinghe said, while turning out a stack of votes and handing them to Fang Tian: "This is the price of the lady to buy perfume, it is a thousand taels of silver, the girl looks at the amount is enough, is it not enough for me to pay some more to the account office?" ”
Fang Tian was dumbfounded, thinking that poverty still limited his imagination.
As the saying goes, there is a sale and a purchase, and she was not embarrassed, she handed over the perfume with a smile, and then took the silver ticket in Qinghe's hand.
"Madame can buy it from me if she likes it, she is my first customer, and I will definitely leave the best things to her."
Probably because Madame Bai especially liked the smell of perfume on Fang Tian's body, when Fang Tian went out with the silver ticket and was about to go back to his home, she not only asked her personal maid to come to see her off, but also prepared an extremely delicate and luxurious carriage.
Fang Tian has always preferred the ox cart to the horse-drawn carriage, although the ox cart is slower, it is very stable and comfortable, not as bumpy as the horse-drawn carriage, giving people a disgusting feeling.
But since it was Mrs. Bai's intention to send off the carriage, Fang Tian didn't want to refute Mrs. Bai's face openly, smiled, and turned around and got into the carriage.
Qing He suddenly grabbed her hand, and her bright eyes were shining, as if she was very expectant: "Can the girl agree to a small request from the slave." ”
Fang Tian has always had a good impression of Qing He, because Qing He has a good personality, and she takes care of her a lot, even if her identity is far more noble than Fang Tian's, she has never been arrogant, but often reminds Fang Tian to pay attention to certain things, she is very close to her.
"Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, what I can do, I will not dare to refuse."
Qing He's face was shy, she rarely showed such an expression, this look made the maid on the side stunned, and even rubbed her eyes thinking that she was looking at the wrong person.
"Girl, I also like the perfume you developed, and I also want to buy a bottle of perfume to use at home, but although we are handmaidens on the surface, we are actually living by flying in the house, but just a few silver, to buy the perfume developed by the girl herself, I am afraid that you have to save the shadow for several years without eating or drinking, but it is impossible for people not to eat or drink."
Seeing that Qing He's face was shy, as if she was a little embarrassed, Fang Tian understood what she meant, she was seeing that she was close to her, and wanted to give herself a discount.
"Sister, you like my family's perfume, and it's also my sister's honor, but the orchid perfume I developed is not very large because of the scarcity of raw materials, and it probably can't be sold at a discount, otherwise I'm afraid it will lose money." That's it, sister, when the orchids bloom well next year, when I can develop a large number of perfumes, I will give you a bottle for free. ”
What Fang Tian said was also reasonable, Qing He nodded, and suddenly shook his head again: "I nodded and I mean that I can wait until next year when the girl mass-produces that perfume before buying it, shaking my head because I don't want the girl to give it to me for free, after all, the cost of a bottle of perfume is not cheap, how can I let the girl break the bank." ”
"Then I'll give my sister a discount for you, sister, you don't have to call me with honorifics, I think sister, you are close, as if you have seen it a long time ago, if my sister doesn't dislike it, how about being a sister with me in the future?"
Qing He was stunned, smiled and nodded: "I think it's okay, but sister, you don't dislike me." ”
This trip out, not only sold the first bottle of perfume he developed at a high price, but also recognized the most favored maid next to the noble lady as a sister, this trip is not a loss, Fang Tian sat in the carriage with the silver ticket, the more he thought about it, the happier he felt, and the mood was so happy that he even forgot the uncomfortable feeling caused by the bumps in the carriage.
She smiled and counted the silver tickets in her hand, thinking that there was still some orchid essential oil left in her home, and it was estimated that she could prepare several bottles of perfume, if each bottle could be sold at such a good price, I am afraid that getting rich would be just around the corner.
Fang Tian thought about it, and smiled more and more happily.
These silver tickets, plus the silver tickets sent by Zhao Qi that day, should be enough for her to buy a lot of orchid raw materials tomorrow spring, and they should also be enough for him to set up a shop to sell perfumes.
Thinking of Zhao Qi, Fang Tian's heart moved, and he opened the curtain to greet the driver who was driving: "Trouble my brother to take a detour, I want to visit someone." ”
Under the command of Fang Tian, the carriage traveled to the Zhao family's villa.
The coachman is a person who looks honest and honest, working under Mrs. Bai, naturally he has a little more knowledge than the people outside, he looked at Fang Tian, and his face was worried: "Girl, I see that you don't seem to be the daughter of a rich family, but do you know whose territory this is, this is the other garden of the Shengguo Mansion, their family has always been fond of seeing outsiders, or don't go to ask for hardship." ”
He was obviously afraid that Fang Tian would be blasted out by the people of the Zhao family, after all, she didn't look like a person with status, even if she had the favor of Madame Bai, but who didn't know that Zhao Qi was silent and unsmiling, he had always been strict with women.
"Thank you big brother for your concern, but it's okay, I'm very familiar with the owner of this house, and I won't let me in."
Fang Tian smiled, took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over: "Please wait here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
This is also a convenient thing, not to mention receiving the money from other girls, and things are even easier to say: "Girl, go ahead, I'll wait for you outside." ”
Fang Tian bowed his body and took small steps to knock on the closed door of the Zhao family.
The one who came to open the door was a thin little guy, who often played on Zhao Qi's side, so naturally he wouldn't fail to recognize Fang Tianlai, and his eyes lit up and he invited Fang Tian to enter the door: "I'm tired of Fang Tian waiting in the living room for a while, and the little one will go to the study to invite the son over." ”
The little servant said, and after inviting Fang Tian to the living room to wait, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the study.
The difference between this treatment and the last time he came was too great, and Fang Tian suddenly became suspicious.
A moment later, a maidservant came over with hot tea.
The maid was very familiar, Fang Tian looked at her for a moment, and then remembered that this girl was the one who warmly invited him to enter the door when he came that day.
Seeing a familiar person is always closer than seeing a stranger, Fang Tian said to Zhang Minhui: "Sister, why hasn't the son come yet, is he busy at this time, and it's not the right time for me to come?" ”
The sister that Fang Tian shouted in his mouth was very useful to Zhang Minhui, but when he heard the urging of Zhao Qi behind him, he felt that there was an evil fire burning in his heart, and sneered: "Guest, you are a distinguished guest who has to meet when the son is busy, the status of the slave is low, how can you stand your sister, and I hope you will not be polite to me for the sake of us who are not easy people, otherwise the son will hear it later, and he will punish me again." ”
The words in Zhang Huimin's mouth are all Chinese characters, and Fang Tian can understand them, but I don't know why, when they are combined into one sentence, I can't understand what she means.
"The last time you were punished by me, it was because the other party's girl was not well entertained and treated the guests well, and now you dare to commit it again, don't you take me seriously?"
Suddenly, a calm voice came, followed by a sound of footsteps, Zhao Qi stepped into the door of the living room, his expression was as cold as ice, and his eyes stared at Zhang Minhui, as if he was very angry.
Zhang Minhui knew that something was not quite right, and hurriedly knelt down: "Son's forgiveness, it was the slave maid who accidentally collided with the nobleman with no beads, and the slave and maid will not dare next time, please forgive me." ”
Zhang Huimin said as she fell to the ground, her smooth forehead kept hitting the ground, as if she was not afraid of pain at all.
Fang Tian was distressed when she saw it, but she was a member of Zhao Qi's family, and she was a guest, so it was inconvenient to mention Zhang Huimin to speak, so she frowned slightly and remained silent.
Zhao Qi's face became more and more cold: "The reason why I took you with me when I left the capital is because you have taken care of my life since I was a child, and you have always understood my personality, temperament and hobbies, and it is far easier to take you than to take other maids. ”
The old lady in the old house in the capital has long seen that she is not pleasing to the eye, if she is sent back by Zhao Qi, she will definitely let the old lady find the wrong place and sell herself, Zhang Huimin never wants her fate to be driven out of the Zhao family, so the strength and frequency of kowtowing have increased a little, and begged: "Childe and I have kindness, I really want to serve by Childe's side, the slave is wrong, I will never dare in the future, beg Gongzi to let go of the slave." ”
The force of her kowtow was extremely heavy, and Fang Tian couldn't bear it, thinking that most of the things were caused by herself, so it was better to say a few words for her.
"Zhao Gongzi, just let her go, after all, this girl has served you for many years, and it was just an unintentional collision, so as not to drive her out of the mansion, let's keep her by your side to serve."
