The days passed day by day, and it was getting closer and closer to the day of the township trial list.

The wind suddenly blows a pool of spring water.

Jia Huan's heart is no longer calm. The closer I got to the release of the list, the more uneasy I became.

And in the entire imperial city, it is not only Jia Huan who is uneasy, but the hearts of the girls and young women in the entire imperial city are also stirred.

Naturally, it's not because of Jia Huan, well, it still has something to do with him - it's perfume.

On the first day of selling perfume, the Xue family perfume shop sold out.

Guess what the ladies and ladies who are lucky enough to buy perfume on the first day will do first?

That's right, it's bound to show off.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

These precious jewelry, gorgeous clothes, you don't show off, what do you do with it?

Just like a certain writer in later generations, he wore a brand of underwear inside, and because others couldn't see it, he had to put a big note on his pants and read: Wear a brand-name underwear.

You see, everyone has to show off what they wear on their butts. What's more, this is sprayed on the body?

In the whole capital, the circle of noblewomen and the boudoir circle are said to be big and big, and small and small.

But it must not be able to stand someone showing off.

Therefore, in just three or two days, the fame of perfume spread throughout the imperial city.

Even the emperor was shocked, he used his power for personal gain, and insisted that Jinyiwei get two bottles, one for the queen mother and one for the queen.

As a result, the queen mother and the queen used it, and they both liked it very much.

Then the emperor asked Xia Shouzhong to purchase perfume and become a tribute, which will be exclusively for the queen mother, queen and concubines in the future.

After Xia Shouzhong received the order, he was happy.

It's a fat deal, this perfume is a novelty, and in it, he can grab a lot of oil and water.

Soon, Xia Shouzhong found the high shopkeeper of the Xue family's perfume shop, and the high shopkeeper did not dare to be self-conscious, so he reported it to Xue Pan.

And after Xue Pan heard Xia Shouzhong's offer, his nose was about to be crooked.

This dead eunuch only gave him one tael of silver per bottle, and said that the cost of this perfume would be as high as they boasted about.

Even if you give one or two pieces of silver, you will give too much.

It's really—well, the dead eunuch was right.

The cost of a bottle of perfume is really not as big as a tael of silver.

But if you sell it for a tael of silver, you will definitely lose money!

If you want less, that's fine.

For example, if you only need 180 bottles a month, it doesn't matter if you make money or not.

They can also get a royal name, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

But as soon as this dead eunuch opened his mouth, he asked for ten thousand bottles of perfume a month.

How much can it be used in the palace?

Needless to say, this dead eunuch asked for 10,000 bottles a month, and he must have saved his mind to sell them.

If this is the case, then the Xue family perfume shop will not need to be done.

You only sell 1,000 bottles every 5 days, 6,000 bottles a month, and you're still selling them in limited quantities.

On the other hand, which dead eunuch sells 10,000 bottles a month, this business can't be done at all.

This dead eunuch is so ruthless! It's not just bloodsucking, it's killing them!

But if you don't agree, you can't do it, whoever let this dead eunuch come to receive the holy will.

If you don't agree, is it because you don't obey the decree and if you want to rebel?

At this time, Xue Pan was really difficult to ride a tiger, and he was in a dilemma.

In the end, Xue Pan had to invite his big brother Jia Huan behind the scenes.

Xue Pan ran to the Zhao Mansion to see Jia Huan.

As soon as Jia Huan left the mansion, Xue Pan couldn't wait to say: "Brother Huan'er, it's not good, it's not good, it's a disaster." If you don't know, our business is going to be yellow. ”

Jia Huan frowned and asked, "Brother Xue, what happened?" Are you telling the truth? ”

Xue Pan complained: "Brother Huan'er, this time there is really no way. A dead eunuch came to the palace today, and he said that he was ordered to buy perfume. The price of a mouth is one or two silver, and it also costs 10,000 bottles a month. ”

"If we really gave it to him, what will we do with this business in the future? But we can't refuse to give it, after all, he is serving a holy order, and if we don't give it to him, isn't it a rebellion to resist the decree and not obey it? ”

"Brother Huan'er, what should I do? What to do? This business, can't we really do it? ”

"By the way, Brother Huan'er, come with me, this dead eunuch is still waiting in the store! If it's too late, the dead eunuch can't say that he's going to get angry again. ”

After getting into the carriage, Jia Huan pondered.

After a while, Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xue, I'll deal with this matter." Didn't he give a bottle of silver for a tael? Then we'll sell him twenty taels a bottle. ”

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Xue Pan couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and said in surprise: "Brother Huan'er, this, how is this possible?" This dead eunuch died from the palace, in front of him, where is there room for us to bargain? ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said: "It's man-made, Brother Xue just needs to watch." ”

Xue Pan was infinitely puzzled, he couldn't think of how Brother Huan'er could do this.

Even if Xue Pan trusted Jia Huan and thought that Jia Huan was resourceful, he couldn't believe that he could really sell it into the palace at the price of twenty taels and one bottles.

Not long after, the two came to the Xue family's perfume shop.

Walking into the hall, Jia Huan also saw the dead eunuch Xia Shouzhong in Xue Pan's mouth.

Xia Shouzhong is also an old acquaintance of Jiafu.

In the Book of Red Mansions, Xia Shouzhong went to Jiafu three times in total.

For the first time, Jia Yuanchun was promoted to Concubine Xiande, and Xia Shouzhong came to Jiafu to deliver the decree.

The second time, Jia Yuanchun was provincial, and Xia Shouzhong was responsible for serving and leading the whole process.

For the third time, Jia Yuanchun gave a festival gift on the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xia Shouzhong sent it to Jiafu.

But this old thing is not friendly to Jiafu.

The first time Jia Yuanchun was promoted to Concubine Xiande, this old thing came to pass on the decree, and the Jia family asked him something, but he didn't let go of a fart.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and he doesn't need to die so badly.

And this guy often borrows money from Jiafu, and he doesn't know how much he borrowed before and after.

The little eunuch said: "Grandpa Xia saw a house by chance today, and now he is short of two hundred taels of silver, so he sent me to ask my uncle and grandmother that there is a ready-made silver to borrow one or two hundred temporarily, and I will send it over in a day or two." ”

Sister Feng listened and said with a smile: "What is sending over, some are silver, just redeem it first." Another day, when we are short, it will be the same to borrow it again. ”

The little eunuch said: "Grandpa Xia also said that there are still 1,200 taels of silver that have not been sent last two times, and when the end of this year is over, they will naturally be sent together." ”

Sister Feng smiled: "Your Grandpa Xia is so stingy, this is also worth mentioning." If I say a word, I'm not afraid that he will be too careful, if we all remember it like this, I don't know how much we have returned. I'm afraid that there is none, and if there is, just take it. ”

This is using the Jia family as an ATM, it can be seen that even if Jia Yuanchun is a concubine, he is not taken seriously by this old thing.
