Chapter Forty-Eight: Negotiate a Business
The woman's thick eyebrows and eyes showed a look of surprise because of these words, but they returned to normal in an instant.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the man, although the two are brother and sister, their appearance is very different, she was born charming, and her brother has a square face, which makes people feel inexplicably convinced.
She said in a slightly provocative tone, "Why, I don't know when you have dealt with such a person?" ”
There was only one message in the words: she didn't believe what he said.
The shopkeeper had long been accustomed to her undisciplined appearance, sighed, "No big, no small", and shook his head helplessly while going down the steps.
Behind him, the woman looked at his back for a moment, not knowing what to think.
At the same time, Bai Wanrou, who had walked leisurely to Guiyun Pavilion, stopped.
As everyone knows, Yuehualou is the largest store in the capital, and the objects are also the most complete, and the small shops next to it are envious.
This is also the confidence of the store just now who dared to talk to her like this.
In this comparison, Guiyun Pavilion looks mediocre, if it weren't for the time-honored plaque, it would have been closed long ago.
Qingtang looked at the wooden door that was very far away from it just now, raised a hand to block the light sunlight on his forehead, and read the three words Guiyun Pavilion clearly.
She glanced down at the jewelry in Bai Wanrou's hand again, and said, "Miss, do we really want to talk about business with this shop?" ”
In the final analysis, Qingtang has not experienced the sinister hearts of people, and she is the princess's maid, and other maidservants have always maintained respect for her, so she is inevitably a little proud in her heart.
Bai Wanrou was very able to understand this emotion, as if she had never thought that she would stand in front of the door of Guiyun Pavilion when she had a smooth journey in the Hou Mansion before.
You must know that at that time, even the Yuehualou shopkeeper who had just spoken out had to give her three points of thin noodles.
If it weren't for the fact that he later pursued Chen Ruzhi and became the laughing stock of the capital, why would he need to shop everywhere now?
She looked up at the shop in front of her, which could almost be called dilapidated, nodded and said, "There is definitely no way to compare Guiyun Pavilion and Yuehua Building, but there are some backgrounds, and they are not as pitiful as the shops next to them." ”
After saying that, Bai Wanrou took the lead and walked in, Luzhu and Qingtang followed behind her, although the business of Guiyun Pavilion was indeed a little poor, but the decoration was very exquisite, revealing a simple atmosphere.
When Xiao Er saw a guest come in, his face could be said to be smiling, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "What do you want to see when a few guest officers come in?" We've got small sparrows here, but we have a lot of organs, so you can look around. ”
Obviously, there are often no business stores, and Xiao Er is not as good as Yuehualou to observe words and feelings, for example, she can't see that Luzhu and Qingtang are just following her girl.
Bai Wanrou glanced up at the store, and her heart relaxed a little, "I'm going to find your store, can you bother to lead the way?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Er's smile suddenly froze on his face, and his first reaction was not that someone wanted to talk about business, but - to smash the field!
There's no way, there are only a few sporadic customers in this store, if someone really comes in to talk about business, wouldn't it be kicked in the brain by a donkey?
Xiao Er was very sure of his shopkeeper, so he immediately blocked in front of the three of them, "What are you doing here?" Why do you want to find our store? ”
In fact, his legs were already a little weak, even if Bai Wanrou had a gentle face, it didn't prevent him from being afraid.
But no matter how he said it, he was a conscientious shopkeeper, and he couldn't watch someone come in to find trouble, so he had to hold on to his courage to stop Bai Wanrou.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou just chuckled, and her tone became softer and softer, "It's just that I want to discuss with the store about the consignment sale, if it's inconvenient." ”
She knew that this person would stop her, so she was relieved to boldly pretend to go out, and sure enough, she heard a long "eh~".
Then a middle-aged man came out of the back room, his eyes narrowed, and he looked like an old fox.
At this time, Bai Wanrou glanced up and down, and then spoke unhurriedly, "Yo, this is a distinguished guest, the princess, please go upstairs to talk in detail." ”
Bai Wanrou didn't care about his gaze, and still followed him upstairs with that calm and breezy appearance.
The man poured her a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "The princess wants to talk about selling on behalf of her, but I'm afraid that she is in the wrong place, so it is more appropriate to talk to Yuehualou about this matter." ”
If he really thought like this, he wouldn't let Bai Wanrou go upstairs.
She knew very well in her heart that this was just to test herself.
"The shopkeeper laughed, Guiyun Pavilion is just a little worse in recent years, but no matter how you say it, it is one of the best time-honored brands in the capital, so you don't have to insult yourself so much."
The man raised his eyebrows, probably thinking that she was talking a little strangely, praising but not like praising and not derogating, and ending the topic in one sentence.
He cleared his throat, and finally glanced at Bai Wanrou, "What the princess said is also reasonable, then ......what kind of jewelry do you want to sell?" ”
Bai Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief, it could be regarded as getting to the point, she thought that the store of Guiyun Pavilion was also a difficult character to deal with.
She raised her hand and asked the green bamboo behind her to present the things, "The workmanship may be a little rough, but it is new, I don't know if it can get into the eyes of the store." ”
The man put the bracelet in his hand and looked at it for a while, looking at it very carefully, but his words were ambiguous, "Yes, it is indeed a little rough." ”
After waiting for another moment, Bai Wanrou still didn't hear him speak, and the heart that she had just let go of hung in her throat again.
Can this be done?
She muttered a few words in her heart, and the look on her face already revealed a little doubt, and the man stopped the movement of his hand.
He boredom dangled the chain between his fingers and asked, "The princess knows her own objects very well, so I am relieved." ”
"As for the consignment ......"
I don't know if it's intentional or not, Bai Wanrou always felt that he glanced at himself teasingly while dragging out the long tail note, and then said unhurriedly:
"After thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's a loss, but I don't know what the princess wants for a share?"
Basically, when it comes to this step, even if the business is more than half successful, Bai Wanrou is finally more comfortable, and he doesn't continue to hang his appetite.
She frowned slightly, and after a short moment, she let go again, "Thirty-seven points, you seven and I three, I have to take one percent of the turnover every month, okay?" ”
Judging from Yun Ge's current business, one percent of the turnover is better than nothing, and the store doesn't think that with Bai Wanrou's few pieces of jewelry, he can raise his business to a higher level, so he nodded and agreed without much hesitation.
It wasn't until he went out that Qingtang couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Miss, isn't your request really a little too low?" ”
Bai Wanrou walked in front of them, and the wisps of sunlight sprinkled on her body did not make people feel hot, but a little more refreshing.
She exhaled a deep breath, "When I talk about consignment sales, it's not for the sake of making money, accumulating network resources and channels is far more important than silver." ”
If they don't have enough strength, just with the hard work of the three of them day and night, even if they really open a store, they will be in short supply.
Qingtang didn't think of these things at the beginning, but she just felt that her young lady's treatment in the palace was not particularly good, and she wanted her to save more savings when she had an opportunity.
When a big event was done, the hearts of the three of them inevitably relaxed a little, and they walked with laughter and laughter along the way, and from time to time they bought some pastries and ate them in their hands.
It wasn't until she saw a few strangers in front of the palace that Bai Wanrou chuckled in her heart and realized that something was wrong.
In any case, she has not yet reconciled with Chen Ruzhi, and sitting in the position of the princess, she always has to take care of something.
- Like now.
She took a few steps forward, looked at the housekeeper who was in a dilemma, and asked softly, "What happened?" It's such a big battle. ”
The group of people who crossed their waists and looked like scoundrels in the market didn't realize Bai Wanrou's approach, and suddenly heard a female voice behind them, and they were all startled.
It was precisely because of their chaotic turnaround that Bai Wanrou noticed that the few people in front of her were a little familiar.
It's a bit far-fetched to say that they know, but their appearance is somewhat similar to Yueyi, which makes it difficult for her not to suspect something.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye when she had this idea, the housekeeper frowned and whispered, "Princess, these are all moon ...... The relatives of the little lord of the moon. ”
Since Yueyi was punished by Bai Wanrou last time, many people in the mansion didn't know how to call Yueyi for a while, and the housekeeper was among them.
But now under the heavy pressure of the family in front of him for two months, he had no choice but to call the little lord of the moon with a slight tremble, and did not forget to observe Bai Wanrou's reaction with his afterglow when he spoke, lest she be angry because of his inappropriate words.
The housekeeper spoke in a small voice, and the words were slurred, and almost no one could hear that sentence except Bai Wanrou.
"Go in and report to the prince, and ask the two of them if they can enter the palace." Bai Wanrou lowered her eyes and glanced at the ground and said in a low voice.
The butler bowed and nodded, and hurriedly fled from the place.
And Yue Yao looked at the way the two of them got along, and she had already guessed that Bai Wanrou was the princess, otherwise the housekeeper would not have been so cautious when she spoke just now.
She thought of the boiling rumors in the capital, saying that after Bai Wanrou entered the palace, the prince married the concubine on the second day.
Ten miles of red makeup, eight sedan chairs.
Compared with Bai Wanrou's in-laws, it seems that she is simply a joke.
Yue Yao pondered in her heart for a while and decided to test the person in front of her.
She said in a mean tone: "Father, look, this is the princess, right?" I've heard that she seems to be the most unfavored person in the palace. ”
Although the words were asked by Yue Chen, her gaze was always glued to Bai Wanrou's body, making it difficult for the latter not to notice.
It was precisely because of this concentration that Yue Yao ignored Qingtang behind her, and immediately stepped forward after hearing her words.
A moment later, a crisp explode in the air.
"Ah——!h
