Chapter 133: The Way to Fortune from the Yunda Firm
Jiangnan City, the sunset reflects the red sky, and night is coming.
As the colorful glow gradually fades, lanterns on the streets illuminate Jiangnan in the night.
Nangong Yue walked quickly across a stone bridge, on both sides of the stone bridge, in the double-storey wooden building, the light of the fire and candles seeped out from the cracks in the wooden windows and doors, dyeing the rippling river water into a broken gold.
Although it is already night, the bustling Jiangnan City is still full of tourists and crowds.
Jiangnan City is a rare stable place in the Central Plains, with a tailwind dart bureau in charge, and the major gangs in Jiangnan always have to sell face.
After the attack of the Valley of the Wicked, the reputation of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau in the martial arts was even greater, and there were very few martial arts people who did not have long eyes to come to Jiangnan City to look for trouble.
So it's safe to walk around the city even at night.
After the curfew, the night in Jiangnan City quickly returned to its usual bustle.
Merchants have been selling and transporting goods day and night, earning silver taels to make a living.
In this troubled era ruled by the Hu people, Jiangnan City is unique, and it is probably the safest place except for the capital.
A large part of these carriages shuttling back and forth were goods that arrived at the trading houses.
In addition to being the wife of the Gu Mansion and the leader of the Ancient God Sect, Chu Xiuru's external identity is the boss of the Yunda Commercial Bank.
After years of operation, Yunda Commercial Bank is backed by Shunfeng Dart Bureau, and there are ancient gods and cultists secretly making connections, eradicating competitors, expanding rapidly, annexing many large and small commercial houses, and becoming one of the largest commercial houses in the entire Jiangnan.
Of course, the department stores and soaps, perfumes and makeup launched by Yunda Commercial Bank are the biggest reliance on its domination of the entire Jiangnan, and these things are highly sought after even in the vicinity of the capital.
The Ancient God Sect also extended its tentacles to more and more places in Daqi through Yunda Trading Houses, and took root in Daqi.
Crossing the stone bridge, Nangong Yue entered a store on the opposite side of the stone bridge with a plaque of Yunda Department Store.
In the department store, many women are shopping for makeup and accessories.
The department store of Yunda Commercial Bank can be described as both love and hate for many ladies and ladies in Jiangnan City.
The boss of the commercial house is Chu Xiuru, who is known as the number one public enemy of women in Jiangnan City. She married Gu Fan and became Mrs. Gu Fu, and she also had a lovely son.
When they thought that the shops of these trading houses had something to do with that woman, they all gritted their teeth and hated it very much.
However, the makeup utensils, perfume soaps and various fashionable accessories and clothing sold in department stores can be described as a dimensionality reduction blow to this woman who can only rely on rouge gouache and hairpins to dress up.
In addition, in the eyes of these pink and red sleeves, Chu Xiuru may have relied on perfume and makeup to make Gu Fan like herself.
Therefore, the department store attracts countless ladies and young ladies to come and go every day, buying and dressing up.
Those young ladies who originally swore to the sky that they would never enter the Yunda trading house couldn't resist the temptation of the people around them, and they were really fragrant.
Thinking of seeing Brother Gu later, Nangong Yue was ready to buy a bottle of perfume to add a feminine charm.
Maybe this will make Brother Gu look at himself more.
But then, she pinched the corner of her clothes to calm herself down.
'I am now the head of the Nangong family, and my style of acting represents the face of the family, so I must be calm and restrained, yes, calm. ’
Just thinking about it, a pair of old couples wearing fluffy wigs, dragons and phoenixes on their faces, and dressed strangely, walked out of the department store.
The old man reached out and fiddled with his wig, and asked strangely, "Old woman, are you sure that we will be dressed like this tomorrow, and no one will recognize us?" ”
"This is one that I have carefully chosen, and it is absolutely impossible to be recognized, but it's you, don't forget who we are."
"I can't forget, we are the monks of Lujiang who live in seclusion in Baishi Mountain, because Yunda Commercial Bank helped us a big gang, in order to repay the kindness, we specially came out of the mountain to teach martial arts." The old man muttered according to the fake identity that Chu Xiuru had arranged in advance.
"Well, when the time comes, just say that, don't let your mouth slip out." The old woman reminded.
"Don't worry."
Nangong Yue wanted to buy a bottle of perfume to meet Gu Fan, and didn't care about the two strange old men who passed by her.
This old couple is a black and white pair who have changed their disguise and dressed up in disguise.
At this moment, the two saw that their disguise was foolproof, and they hurriedly returned home to prepare for tomorrow's martial arts teaching, although they glanced at Nangong Yue, but they didn't know Nangong Yue's appearance, and they didn't care.
The three of them met in the water and left.
Nangong Yue came to the counter and said to the guys in the store: "Where is the perfume here, take it all." ”
The man gave her a blank look, thinking that this must be another woman who had never seen the world, and took perfume as wine.
Nangong Yue is in Mobei, naturally there are no these novelties, the reason why she knows about the existence of perfume is that last night, listening to the two maids who cleaned up the room secretly chatted and learned that there is a thing called perfume in the Central Plains, which can make people fragrant all over the body and attract bees and butterflies.
She originally thought that the next time she met Gu Fan, she would buy a bottle to try the effect. I didn't expect Gu Fan to invite her to meet so early.
This caught Nangong Yue off guard, surprised and delighted, and then rushed into the department store in a hurry.
The guy led Nangong Yue to the perfume counter, pointed to the perfume on the counter behind him and introduced:
"These are the perfumes that Yunda Commercial House is selling, which are made by our boss Chu, and even the ladies and princesses in the capital are using them.
You know the shopkeeper Gu of Shunfeng Commercial Bank, that is a dignified and well-known son of Jiangnan Province, and even he fell under the charm of this perfume and married our boss Chu. ”
The shopkeeper talked exaggeratedly, according to the propaganda words that had been written long ago, and his mouth was full of beads and gushing.
The price of perfume is not cheap, from one tael of silver to dozens of taels of silver, and ordinary people can't even eat, let alone use this luxury.
The ones who can buy perfume are undoubtedly not the ladies and rich ladies, many of them went to Gu Fan to buy perfume from the beginning, there is such a gold-lettered signboard, and the guys of the commercial house naturally make the best use of it, but they didn't expect to try everything.
In this era, there is no such thing as the right to reputation, and anyway, my boss is someone else's wife, which is the best advertisement.
Sure enough, after hearing that Gu Fan also liked these perfumes, Nangong Yue's eyes were shining, and she immediately swept towards the perfume on the counter.
"Which bottle is his favorite?"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, the girl in front of him was dressed up, sword robe and boots, heroic, she should be a martial arts practitioner, and she seemed to have a good impression of Gu Fan.
The warrior has never been short of money, and he admires the head of the Gu family, and when he saw that this business was about to be completed, he hurriedly said:
"Girl, our perfume is divided into five types: single floral fragrance, group flower fragrance, Western Regions spice fragrance, citrus lemon fragrance, and classical fragrance. Each fragrance has its own fragrance and focus, but it can enhance your own temperament and make you stand out from the crowd. ”
"Jasmine, lily, gardenia, pear blossom" Nangong Yue murmured softly, and then turned to look at the shelf on the other side, "Pepper, pepper, ginger, fennel, so many flavors, I don't know what Brother Gu will like, just ......"
"Xiao Er, I've got all the perfume on it, give me one bottle of everything, not two, I'm going to get drunk with Brother Gu tonight." Nangong Yue said loudly.
The shopkeeper was stunned, and secretly said in his heart, "This is another crazy one, and the madness is not light." ’
At the same time, he was shocked: "Girl, are you sure that you have two bottles of each, this perfume is very expensive, and our store will not take credit." ”
Nangong Yue thought that Gu Fan was still waiting for her in Yuelai Teahouse, and eagerly took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from her arms and slapped it in front of the shopkeeper, "Get it for me, this girl is not bad for money." ”
After confirming that the silver ticket was genuine, the shopkeeper said in a more humble tone for a while: "This distinguished customer, please go to the side and rest." ”
Seeing such a big customer, the shopkeeper stepped forward and said: "Girl, I am the shopkeeper of this shop, my surname is Ma, the girl buys so much at once, it must be inconvenient to carry, it is better for the girl to tell me where to live, I will send someone to send it to the girl's house in person." ”
"I live in the Gu Mansion now, you send someone to the door and report the name of the Nangong family, and the guards at the door will lead you into the mansion."
"Gu Mansion?" Boss Ma was shocked.
