Chapter Eighty-Four: Pie in the Sky

Updated: 2013-07-04

People come and go on the noisy streets, and the daughter of the rich lady is often surrounded by several family members, who are not lively when they hug each other, and when they meet each other, they also praise each other for their sisters, elder sisters, and sisters, and Lu Mengjian only watched a costume drama.

This sudden sound Sister Lu was very slim in this sea of people, Lu Mengjian didn't react for a while, the other party actually called herself, and still walked forward by herself.

As a result, a 'girl' in a goose yellow dress suddenly rushed to Lu Mengjian, and a handsome little face looked angry, "Our lady asks the girl to stay!" ”

At this time, the beautiful "woman" behind him came over with a smile, "groaning" and "groaning", the face did not apply powder, the skin still looked delicate and shiny, and the back of the head was only loosely tied up in a bun.

"Biyun, Hugh is rude," the beautiful 'woman' called the 'girl' in the goose yellow dress back to her side, scolded lightly, and then turned her head to look at Lu Mengjian who was standing on the steps, "Sister Lu, I haven't seen you for many days, my sister has always been good?" ”

Lu Mengjian glanced at the beautiful 'woman' suspiciously, only to feel that the face was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where the other party was sacred anyway, but looking at the situation, the other party should have had an 'intersection' with him, could it be an acquaintance before this body? So I had to respond vaguely.

The beautiful 'woman' saw her hesitation, so she smiled and said: "The acacia 'flower' and 'essence' oil made by my sister is really wonderful, I have been looking for my sister to buy a few more bottles, but I have never met my sister in this city, I didn't expect to meet here today, it is really fate!" ”

In this way, Lu Mengjian suddenly realized that the first buyer she met when she entered the city that day was this beautiful "woman" Mrs. You, thinking that she was only "wanting" to thank her for saving her kindness before she would buy the "essence" oil with silver, but she didn't expect that the "flower" fragrance and "essence" oil had such a great charm.

"Oh, Mrs. You has won the award, it is the honor of Mrs. You to meet Mrs. You," Lu Mengjian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and happily went down the steps to stand in front of Mrs. You, the life of the rich and noble family is really good, Mrs. You looks much younger than half a year ago, and Lu Mengjian is exposed to the sun every day, and the original fair skin has slowly become a wheat 'color', and it has long lost the beautiful skin that can be broken at the beginning.

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, can you enjoy the light and have a cup of tea together?" Mrs. You had just selected a gold-inlaid 'jade' hairpin from the jewelry store next door, and she was feeling weak at the moment, so she didn't want Lu Mengjian to object, so she took Lu Mengjian's arm and entered a teahouse at the end of Tsing Yi Lane.

When she sat in the box with a quiet and elegant environment, Lu Mengjian was still a little 'blind', she just went into the city to sell some 'fine' oil for a living, but she met the so-called acquaintance in a daze, the key is that this acquaintance only has one side, how could she just follow others into such a high-end teahouse.

But fortunately, she often went in and out of various high-end restaurants earlier, so there was no sense of crampedness in the seat, except for the style that was a little older, the rest was no different, and the view from the window was excellent, as long as you lowered your head, you could see everything on the street clearly, which was quite similar to modern times, and couldn't help but arouse Lu Mengjian's homesickness.

Similar to Lu Mengjian, Mrs. You's mind was obviously not on drinking tea, the two sat quietly for a while, and Mrs. You finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister, I don't know how your business is recently, the 'flower' fragrance and 'essence' oil are of excellent quality, I think there should be many young ladies rushing to buy it, right?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Mengjian blushed for a while, "It's not a secret, since Mrs. bought the two bottles of 'essence' oil that day, Mengjian has never sold a bottle, in fact, there were some changes in the family some time ago, so I didn't have the heart and 'essence' to think about this matter." ”

"I see, no wonder I haven't heard my sister's whereabouts, so why didn't my sister go to the city today to buy some fat powder paste to go back?" Mrs. You was disappointed in her heart, since Lu Mengjian said so, she was afraid that it would be impossible to have those unique 'flower' fragrance and 'essence' oils on her body. She was looking for Lu Mengjian in order to buy some more 'essence' oil to go back, since she had used the Huai 'flower' and 'essence' oil, the lord's interest in her has obviously increased a lot, but unfortunately the last bottle of 'essence' oil in the first two months has also been used up, without the charming 'flower' fragrance, the lord's attitude has obviously changed.

"Mengjian didn't really have much thought about fat powder and the like, but he just wanted to introduce a few bottles of 'essence' oil to those shops, but who knew that he was kicked out as soon as he entered," Lu Mengjian didn't hide everything that happened to Fang Cai in Liufang Pavilion, and after telling a brief account, even Mrs. You, who had always been elegant, couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, these shopkeepers have always bullied people, and my sister has been wronged," Mrs. You glanced at Biyun, her maid has followed her since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and domineering, listening to Lu Mengjian's experience, she can't help but think of Biyun's attitude, Biyun herself did not feel inappropriate, it can be seen that Mrs. You means something, and her heart is very unhappy and her eyes are red.

"It's nothing, they can't believe that ordinary people like Mengjian can come up with any decent spices, and they can finally find a real Bole who knows the goods after a few more encounters." Lu Mengjian smiled self-deprecatingly, the world is like this, and it doesn't help if you are unwilling.

After hearing this, Mrs. You's mind became lively, and she suddenly had a bold idea, but this idea seemed a bit absurd to her, but that kind of desire made her have an urgent impulse, and after thinking about it a few times, she finally lowered her voice and said: "In this case, have you ever thought about having a store of your own?" ”

"Ah, what!" Although the words of this sentence were light, when they fell into Lu Mengjian's ears, it was tantamount to a crack in the dense 'yin' cloud being split in the air, and he couldn't help but scream.

Mrs. You knew that it would take time to digest this idea, so she took a sip of tea and smiled slightly without explanation.

And Lu Mengjian's mind exploded 'flowers', she needed a storefront, she really needed a small shop of her own, this idea occupied her heart from the beginning, but the conditions at home did not allow it at all, not to mention that even if there was a small shop, there were very few goods she could take now to sell, except for a few bottles of 'essence' oil, which were those potted plants that were still growing, and as for the fresh 'flowers', she asked herself that there was enough time, and it was also a good choice to open a 'flower' shop.

However, this question suddenly befell her, and it was really overwhelming.

"I do, of course I do!" Lu Mengjian muttered in his mouth, and after hearing this answer, the smile on Mrs. You's face became even stronger.

"It's always been my dream to open a store, but I'm afraid I can't do it yet!" Lu Mengjian suddenly woke up, and shook his head again and again, "One is that the economy of Mengjian's family is really difficult now, and he can't get the start-up capital needed to open a store, and second, if he opens a store, what kind of goods are mainly sold in the store still need to be considered." So ......"

"As for the issue of funds, you don't have to worry," Mrs. You saw that she had already analyzed these reasons in such a short period of time, and her appreciation for her rose to a new level, and since Lu Mengjian also mentioned the issue of starting capital for opening a store, she no longer avoided her inner thoughts, and said all the "sex" in her head.

"The 'flower' fragrance 'essence' oil developed by my sister can be used as the treasure of the store's town store, I believe that it will not be long before there will be countless 'women' in the city to come to visit, and as for others, I remember that my sister once mentioned that there are some 'flower' seedlings planted at home, if it is possible to sell them as commodities is also a good choice, but if my sister has a better choice, it is naturally the best."

"Mengjian has no virtue and no talent, I really can't bear such good luck from heaven," Lu Mengjian's brows gradually gathered together, half happy and half worried about Mrs. You's proposal, pie fell from the sky, and suddenly smashed on her Lu Mengjian's head, she became retreating, if in the past, Lu Mengjian would have accepted it happily and happily, but Fang Yuan's lesson was like a blow to the head.

"My sister should have some concerns, I can't hide it, the You family is from a business family, if my sister has the heart to operate, I will definitely help, and the funds to open the store, I myself also have countless dowries, don't say a store, even a few don't think there can be a problem, so please go back today and think about it carefully, if your sister is interested, please ask your sister to think about it and tell me, can you remember the location of Youfu?"

Lu Mengjian nodded, everything that happened in that alley seemed to be still in front of her, and the magnificent scene in front of the 'door' of You Mansion was really exciting, she was not familiar with life at the time, but she walked into an alley at will, but she didn't expect to meet Mrs. You who was in trouble, and Mrs. You was also very happy, otherwise she would not have bought the Huai 'flower' in Lu Mengjian's hand with a lot of money just by one side essence' oil, and even today deliberately mentioned to Lu Mengjian the matter of sponsoring her to open a store, no matter what her purpose is, as a stranger, she can achieve such a state, I am afraid that Lu Mengjian himself will never believe it.

Mrs. You knew that there was hope for this matter, and the thread entwined in her heart could be untied, so she reasoned out her thoughts and remembered the purpose of inviting Lu Mengjian to drink tea today, so she said casually, "My sister will say that I went to the city today to sell the 'flower' fragrance and 'essence' oil, I don't know what kind of 'flower' fragrance my sister extracted, can you take it out and take a look?" ”

Lu Mengjian was worried that there was no 'door' for sales, and when he heard Mrs. You ask, he put a few porcelain bottles in his arms on the table, and the white porcelain bottles were obviously not as beautiful as the first two 'fine', but when the cork was opened, there was immediately a fragrance wafting into the nostrils, and Mrs. You smelled a total of two different 'flower' fragrances, and she couldn't put it down more and more, so she wanted to buy them all, and this time the price was obviously a little higher than the first time.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. You at the 'door' of the teahouse, Lu Mengjian's heart seemed to be filled with a little rabbit, and she couldn't control the 'chaos' jump, she 'touched' and 'touched' the one hundred taels of silver tickets in her arms, as well as the sudden extra twenty taels of silver in her purse, and walked out of Tsing Yi Lane excitedly, while Mrs. You and the two maids had already left in a carriage without a trace.
