Chapter 36: Borrowing Soap
Chong Yiyun looked at Cui'e's appearance, stroked her forehead, and sighed in her heart, this girl!
At this time, the number of residents in the Jinyu Building has increased significantly, in the past, when it was good, it was at most half full, but now there are ten upper rooms, and the two top rooms are full.
These residents were all businessmen who saw a business opportunity and were bent on leaving behind to find out the secret recipe and origin of the soap.
As a businessman, Chong Ruiyu also values the business opportunities here, and recently many official ladies are vying to live here, and recently they have started bidding auctions to compete for the right to live.
Nowadays, it takes a hundred taels to live in Jinyulou for a day, which is enough for an ordinary family for several years. Ordinary people just join in the fun, but it makes the room of Jinyulou more and more evil.
At first, it was just a few noble ladies fighting for a room, and later because the lady who lived here found that the unique fragrance of soap and soap could linger for a long time, and after washing her face, her skin was refreshing and not greasy. The skin is indescribably clean and clear.
So I came to find out again, but the shopkeeper of Jin Yulou was silent, claiming that it was confidential.
And now the soap is becoming more and more mysterious, and people who have never seen it have passed it on like a magic weapon.
And these heavy dependencies in the city are not clear.
Recently, the mansion has been different, and the eldest lady has just heard the news of Jin Yulou, but when she heard the soap from the mouth of the lady who came and went, she secretly thought in her heart, how is this so like the object that Chong Yiyun's girl sent a few days ago.
"Jin Zhi, hurry up, get the purse I threw away a few days ago!"
"Madam, you disliked the thing sent by the third lady that day, so you rewarded the slave maid, but the slave didn't know what it was, so she threw it away."
"You! Then you're about to say where you threw it away, can you get it back? Zhang Fenglan said angrily.
"The slave doesn't know, after all, it's been a long time, so I should have thrown it out of the house as waste."
When Zhang Fenglan heard this, her heart was like a frost flower, how is this good, she also bragged to others that she had it, and she would take it to everyone at the party tomorrow, but now......
Now there are only two ways, one is to ask for it like Chongyiyun, and the second is to borrow it like each room.
But because of the previous incident, it was impossible for Zhang Fenglan to take the initiative to ask Chong Yiyun for it, didn't she stretch out her face and let people beat her!
Zhang Fenglan decided to borrow from the second room, and returned it when it was used up.
Of course, the second aunt Zeng Yurong also heard about it, her family is a well-known and wealthy businessman, how could she not know this news, and she didn't care too much about the purse that Chong Yiyun gave her that day.
After a glance, he put it aside, but after reading the description in Jiajun's letter, how could he feel that this thing was so familiar. But I didn't think of the purse sent by Chongyiyun.
After all, Chong Yiyun only sent a maid to deliver it that day, and did not explain the purpose.
The second aunt was drinking tea in the room, and suddenly heard the maid's report that the eldest lady was coming, Zeng Yurong was shocked, what was this Zhang Fenglan looking for her, her courtyard rarely came, but she felt that she had not provoked her recently, and took a sip of tea calmly.
Zhang Fenglan was supported by a personal maid, it had just snowed outside, the road was very slippery, Zhang Fenglan had to be careful every step she took, in such weather, if she didn't ask for it, who would want to come out and toss.
When I came to the second aunt's room, the door was open, but the heavy curtain blocked it, and I couldn't see the house.
The maid on the left side of Zhang Fenglan's body helped lift the door curtain, and Zhang Fenglan bowed her head slightly and entered the room.
Zeng Yurong saw the comer, stood up, and bowed, "Big lady!" ”
Zhang Fenglan nodded, "Get up!" With that, he sat down in a chair in front of the fire.
"How can my sister have free time today, I think of my sister's yard."
"Sister, sister, I have a straight nature, and I will make it clear that there is something to do today."
Zeng Yurong was also surprised, "Oh? What's the matter! ”
"A few days ago, Yun'er, didn't that girl send someone a purse?"
Zeng Yurong only remembered this thing when she heard her. How does it have to do with Chong Yiyun's girl?
"I wonder if my sister can use the items in that purse?"
Zeng Yurong suddenly reacted at this time, yes, how could she feel that the description in Jiajun's letter was so familiar, it turned out to be the object in the purse.
Who is she, as soon as the eldest lady said this, she already understood, she had lost her share, and now she came to ask for it.
Now she knows that the items in the purse must be the soap that Jiajun said, such a rare treasure, seeing that she is about to be begged to leave, but she is unwilling in her heart.
Zhang Fenglan saw that she didn't answer, she must be like herself, she didn't care about the items in the purse, it should be useless at the moment.
But with her relationship with Chong Yiyun, she shouldn't be like herself.
"It's useless, I don't know what my sister is going to do with it."
"Uh... It's nothing, borrow it and use it, and I'll pay you back in two days! ”
"I'll get it for my sister." Zeng Yurong knew in her heart that this was borrowed, but it was uncertain when it would be, and if there was no accident, it would not be exchanged.
Zhang Fenglan got what she wanted in her heart, she was naturally happy, and her eyes changed when she saw Zeng Yurong, "Sister, rest, sister won't bother you." With that, he was helped out by the maids.
Chong Ruiyu still returned in vain today, thinking that he had not been able to say goodbye to his mother today, so he went to Zhang Fenglan's courtyard, and when he entered the room, he found that his mother was not in the room, and was about to turn around and leave, so he watched Zhang Fenglan move his steps carefully and walked back.
Chong Ruiyu hurriedly went over to support her, Zhang Fenglan looked up at her son, her daughter was not angry, and her son was quite good, but it was a pity that her son was not popular in this family.
"It's so cold outside, where did Mother go?"
"Went to your second aunt."
Chong Ruiyu was a little surprised when she heard her go to the second aunt, what kind of character his mother was, he couldn't know it best, how did he think about going to the house he didn't want to see today.
"Show you something good!" Zhang Fenglan was very happy in her heart, thinking that she would be able to show her face in front of the ladies tomorrow, so she couldn't help but share it with her son first, even if he didn't understand.
Chong Ruiyu looked puzzled, and watched his mother mysteriously take out a purse and hand it to him.
He had a purse, and as soon as he opened it, he smelled a fresh aroma, and took out the contents to take a look.
Isn't this the soap of Jinyulou, how can I have this thing?
"Mother, where did this come from?"
Zhang Fenglan said with a smile, "I took it from the second room." Then he snatched the soap back from Chongruiyu's fingers.
"How can the second aunt have such a thing?"
"It's not that girl who is still relying on Yun...... That's right, this is something she made, and if you want it in the future, you must ask her for it, this girl, where did you get so many crooked ways. Zhang Fenglan said with a frown.
"Third sister? Is this what she did? ”
"Isn't it just what I did some time ago, and it caused a lot of conjecture in the house, but I didn't expect to make this thing."
Chong Ruiyu listened to her mother's words, and never expected that the things she was worried about recently were actually caused by her third sister, and the soap that so many people craved was actually developed by her sister.
Chong Ruiyu stood up and said to Zhang Fenglan, "Mother, Ruiyu still has something to do, so let's step back." ”
"Go, go, go!" Zhang Fenglan never cares about her son, she doesn't care what he does, but in the past few years, I heard that he is not bad outside, and the blood ginseng she gave at the old lady's birthday banquet is rare, Ruiyu, this kid, should he be kind to him in the future.
