Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 263: Bihua Pavilion sells well; the third elder keeps people (6.2k please subscribe!!)
The story continues.

The moment the daughter learned the truth, she felt that she was worse than an animal.

She once thought that she was destined to be an immortal, and that her parents and brother were all mortals, so she was naturally superior to her family.

But now I understand that this so-called immortal is nothing but a leech that sucks the blood of my family.

She regretted it deeply and immediately took all her money back to the home she despised.

She mortgaged all her valuable belongings to redeem the old house.

She confessed to her mother, apologized to her brother, and knelt down at her father's grave.

She vowed to work and study in the future, not only not to ask her family for money, but also to send money home. As a cultivator, she should be the most capable person in the family, how could she rely on her mother to do odd jobs and her brother to do hard labor to support her?
The mother was moved by her daughter's change and took out a pair of thin socks from her arms.

It turned out that the mother was worried that she could not raise the money her daughter needed, so while lying in bed, she crocheted a pair of thin socks by herself, with a small piece of her favorite chrysanthemum on it.

"I saw the stockings you wanted when I was washing clothes for the ladies of a wealthy family. Now we can't afford them, so I made a pair myself. I'm not good with my hands, so don't despise me, dear kid..."

The daughter then remembered that before she went to Henggao City to study, she wore clothes that were sewn by her mother.

The mother's hands were not clumsy; on the contrary, they were the most dexterous hands her daughter had ever seen.

This old woman didn't know how to practice, but her weather-beaten hands seemed to be born with a supreme magic, and could always conjure up the little skirt and new shoes she wanted...

The daughter burst into tears and hugged her mother tightly, hoping that her mother would not despise her as an ignorant daughter.

"My dear child, you are the most beautiful. You look beautiful in whatever you wear. How could mother dislike you..."

Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

Anyone who speaks insincerely will get San Chunhui.

The daughter returned to the sect with the stockings made by her mother, and from then on she seemed like a different person.

She is diligent and independent. She never misses any opportunity to improve herself and make money. She no longer cares so much about what others think.

In just less than a month, she seemed to have suddenly realized something and made a breakthrough, moving from the middle level to the top among her classmates.

On the day of the two sects' banquet, she attended wearing the stockings made for her by her mother. Even the nuns who looked down on her were amazed by the beauty of her legs.

But they didn't believe that their daughter could afford to wear the same things as them. Sure enough, the stockings did not have the paper bird pattern of the Birch Pavilion, but a chrysanthemum pattern that they had never seen before.

What she was wearing was a fake! A knockoff!
It's so ugly! Get her out!
Just when his daughter was about to be kicked out of the banquet, the youngest and most promising young genius at the banquet stood up. He could be said to be the focus of all the female cultivators at the banquet, but he took the initiative to protect his daughter.

At this point in the story, you need to turn the page to continue reading, but Xiao Yutong excitedly holds down the paper:

"I know, I know! Next, is it going to be about how this genius was impressed by my daughter's beauty, but looked down on those women wearing Bai Niao Pavilion stockings? And then my daughter went from being a peasant to becoming the daughter-in-law of a famous immortal family. From this, it can be seen that what kind of clothes one wears is not a proof of beauty at all?"

Several younger female disciples nodded slightly when they heard this. The young man in white fell in love with a poor mortal girl, and then saved her from the quagmire of life, that's what it wrote in the storybooks.

You Su smiled and said, "That's a cliché. A woman's beauty should please herself rather than men. Why does she need men's affirmation to be saved? Only by saving herself can a woman's beauty be revealed. This kind of beauty is no longer a superficial beauty like appearance, but a deep beauty that comes from the heart, an independent beauty."

Hearing this, the Third Elder stood there in shock, his eyes sparkling.

She didn't expect that these words that touched her heart were spoken by the man she despised the most, and... he was a blind man who was only eighteen years old.

Through several disciples, she looked at You Su's clear but lifeless eyes, as if she wanted to see through whether the boy's words were meant to sound nice or were from the heart.

"Junior Brother You is right."

Lin Sihan was excited to hear this. "We work hard to make good stockings and women's clothing. First of all, we do it to make ourselves feel good, not for others to see. Although Junior Brother You is blind and cannot see women's faces, he can appreciate women's beauty better than other men. All men in the world should learn from Junior Brother You."

The eyes of the women looking at You Su were as bright as the autumn moon, as if they had seen a close friend. In this world, it is rare to find a man who is so considerate and understanding of women.

A familiar and charming voice suddenly sounded:
"Turn it over."

The third elder withdrew his gaze without changing his expression. He was actually eager to see the end of the story.

Yutong quickly turned over and said:

Tianjiao did protect his daughter, and his words were full of contempt for these women's idea that nobility is beauty.

He also admitted that he did not notice anything counterfeit about the pair of stockings on his daughter's legs. On the contrary, the quality was better. He then mocked these women, saying that they felt that they spent more money but the experience was not as good as their daughter's, and they were angry and wanted to kick them out?
The bullying women gave up in anger, but the daughter gave up the opportunity to continue making friends with the genius at the banquet after "saving the beauty". She chose to return to her own life and continue to practice and work hard.

She continued to do her own thing, wearing the stockings and clothes her mother sewed for her, without caring about what others thought.

As time passed, she not only provided her mother and brother with a comfortable life, but also became a well-known female cultivator.

Among the group of outstanding female cultivators wearing expensive clothes from the Bainiao Pavilion, the daughter wearing the beautiful clothes made for her by her mother made all the other female cultivators pale in comparison. Even the genius who had spoken for her at the previous banquet was no longer worthy of her.

Many female nuns of middle and lower levels have regarded this daughter as a role model.

The daughter knew that there were many female nuns like her who could not afford expensive clothes and were deeply tormented by their own vanity.

They live frugally, even sell their houses and belongings, cheat and defraud, and use all kinds of means just to buy a piece of clothing from Bainiaoge.

And these clothes that you buy with great difficulty may be flashy products.

What they actually bought was not the clothes, but the envious look in others' eyes when they saw the paper bird mark.

This is obviously wrong. In order to let more female practitioners understand this point like her, and to allow more female practitioners to wear beautiful and affordable clothes, the daughter decided to open a women's clothing store with her mother.

Even though she faced many obstacles at the Birds Pavilion, she remained determined to open the store successfully.

Because she is not trying to defeat any business, she just wants more female monks to wear clothes that reflect the care of a mother.

A mother doesn't want her daughter to live to please others. She hopes her daughter is independent and happy, not burdened by the eyes of others. A girl who pleases herself is the most beautiful.

The name of this store is——

It’s called Bihua Pavilion.

"This daughter...could she be our master?!" Zi Xun exclaimed.

"Ah? No way?" Several female disciples were also amazed.

The third elder raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat helpless towards his female disciples who were ignorant of the world.

"Of course not the Third Elder." You Su smiled apologetically. "This story ends with Bihua Pavilion, which will indeed cause many people who don't know to misunderstand him as the Third Elder. But my original intention was to tell others about the clothing-making philosophy of Bihua Pavilion. If the Third Elder doesn't want to do this, I can also try another way..."

"No need, let them guess, I don't care. Regardless of whether it is my personal experience or not, at least it can increase the discussion of my Bihua Pavilion."

The Third Elder sipped his tea. This daughter was indeed foolish in the early stages of her story, but fortunately she turned over a new leaf. She should have a better reputation than a bad one. Even if she bears this reputation, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"The Third Elder already knows how to make business prosperous." You Su praised sincerely.

The third elder curled the corners of his mouth unconsciously, but the smile quickly faded away. He was surprised to find that he was secretly happy because of You Su's praise.

The girls also came to their senses at this time, and their beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter.

In just three pages, this story vividly portrays an independent woman who has turned over a new leaf.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this Bainiao Pavilion is the Qianhua Pavilion, and the description vividly depicts the blind worship of the Qianhua Pavilion.

What is even more clever is that You Su's story ties the inferior impression of Bihuage stockings to the mother's feelings. Women are the most empathetic to women, and which woman would have the heart to discriminate against the feelings of other people's mothers?

Although it was only mentioned at the end, readers can understand that this so-called inferiority is just the reputation deliberately created by Qianhua Pavilion.

Compared to these, You Su understood his real killer move.

The story unfolds gradually until the end.

The concept of opening this store has almost put Bihua Pavilion on a moral high ground, and even has a hint of female awakening.

The women in this world are able to practice cultivation and possess power, but of course they also desire independence and equality, and the philosophy of Bihua Pavilion coincides with this.

"Can these two pieces of paper really help our Bihua Pavilion come back to life?" Yutong was still young and did not realize the significance of this story.

All the other female cultivators, except Fairy Wangshu, knew that once this story spread, it would be easy to reverse the previous reputation of Bihua Pavilion, not to mention completely overturn the situation.

The only question, then, is how to make it widely known.

"A long story will make it harder to spread. Plus, the fact that the female cultivator was kicked out a few days ago has been hotly discussed recently. It will definitely work, Senior Sister Yutong, please believe me."

"Do you want us to compile this story into a book and give it to our fellow disciples?"

Lin Sihan was eager to contribute to the revival of Bihua Pavilion, and her eyes were full of admiration and gratitude when she looked at You Su. The other female disciples also behaved similarly, and they did not expect that You Su, a blind man, could really bring hope.

"Senior sisters, that's not necessary."

Ji Lingruo crossed her arms and spoke coldly, invisibly blocking the courtesy that these beautiful female disciples were offering to You Su.

"I have some connections with the owner of Tianxin Book Pavilion in Henggao City. I can ask him to print it in some daily newspapers. It will be much more efficient than us publishing it one by one."

"Junior Sister Ji also knows the owner of Tianxin Book Pavilion? How impressive!" All the girls were amazed when they heard this. Tianxin Book Pavilion is the best bookstore in Henggao City, and it is not easy to establish a relationship with it.

Even the third elder was slightly surprised. She was naturally more thoughtful than others.

Ji Lingruo is a demon and has nothing to do with Tianxin Book Pavilion. Considering You Su's literary talent, it must be because of You Su that she can become friends with Tianxin Book Pavilion.

The third elder couldn't help but admire that You Su was really different from all the men she had ever met.

Alas...why can't you be a woman...

"When do we start taking action?" the third elder asked softly.

"No rush." ​​You Su said calmly, "When the promotion at Qianhua Pavilion ends, this story will be published."

"Great!"

The women surrounded You Su and cheered, as if victory would come tomorrow. The third elder pursed his lips and acquiesced to their behavior.

Ji Lingruo's eyes made You Su feel uneasy. He quickly held his breath, fearing that the rich fragrance would make him faint:

"Dear sisters! Please be patient! Everything is not settled yet! I would like to trouble you to make more stockings quickly, so that the supply will not exceed the demand!"

To fulfill the Third Elder's idea of ​​having all female cultivators wear stockings, it was impossible to rely on only a few female disciples from Bihua Peak. However, at present, it was more important to get the first shot than to expand productivity.

……

Bihua Pavilion still had little business, and on the fifth day, Qianhua Pavilion seemed to have determined that Bihua Pavilion could not make a comeback and finally ended their promotion activities.

And on this day, an article suddenly appeared in the Henggao Daily published by Tianxin Book Pavilion, claiming to be the autobiography of a female cultivator who was kicked out of the banquet three days ago.

Being discriminated against by the powerful is a common occurrence in Henggao City, and this topic has always been hotly discussed. This autobiography spread to every corner of Henggao City in the blink of an eye.

Many female cultivators felt the same way, and people could not tell whether this was the cultivator’s own account or a story adapted from Venerable Bihua’s personal experience.

It’s just that such inspirational stories with female protagonists rising from obscurity are too rare, and there is no woman who doesn’t want to become an independent and beautiful woman like the protagonist of the story.

The threshold of Bihua Pavilion was almost trampled by so many people in one day that Xuanxiao Sect had to implement a traffic restriction order to ensure smooth traffic in the sect. However, this still could not stop the enthusiasm of women from outside who wanted to buy a pair of "stockings made by mothers" from Bihua Pavilion.

The enthusiasm of the male cultivators was also ignited. The male cultivators in the world have suffered from Qianhua Pavilion for a long time. It is expensive and difficult to buy, which is simply a weapon to test the loyalty of the licking dogs. After waiting for a long time, a women's clothing store with good quality and low price finally appeared. The licking dogs of the goddesses will naturally support you, Bihua Pavilion, as the new leader.

In order to meet everyone's purchasing needs, Bihua Pavilion also implemented a purchase limit order, limiting each person to one pair, but the stockings accumulated over the days were still sold out. Stockings printed with chrysanthemum patterns instantly became popular in Henggao City, and even the stockings without patterns before became a hot commodity.

It’s just that some people are happy and some are sad in Bihua Peak, and Ye Qingchen is the sad one.

"Brother, your stockings from Bihua Peak are very popular! Can you get me a pair through your internal channels?"

Ye Erong looked at Ye Qingchen, whose face was ashen, with anticipation.

This is the trend. If everyone else buys it, you will naturally want to buy it too. Even a rich lady like Ye Erong, who has no pressure to spend money in Qianhua Pavilion, will be interested in the stockings of Bihuafeng.

Not to mention that once that story came out, there was already a trend that wearing Qianhua Pavilion clothes was out of touch with reality.

Ye Qingchen naturally glared at his disobedient sister fiercely, and left without saying a word.

And it was on this day that Ye Erong received a pair of white stockings embroidered with chrysanthemums, which was sent by He Kongyue.

"This is a gift from Brother You. He is also a small boss of Bihua Pavilion."

"Brother You? Is it... You Su?" Ye Erong asked in disbelief.

He Kongyue just smiled mysteriously, "He wants you to introduce this pair of stockings to your sisters. You know more about Qianhua Pavilion's clothes, and you can compare the quality of Bihua Pavilion and restore Bihua Pavilion's reputation. Although the gift is small, I hope you don't mind it."

Ye Erong accepted it with great joy, "I can't thank you enough! I definitely will!"

That night, Ye Erong held a tea party for the sisters and talked about this pair of exquisite stockings all night. In this way, even the most distinguished ladies in Henggao City began to popularize chrysanthemum-labeled stockings.

Little did he know that this was not a gift from You Su at all, but one of the two pairs of stockings that You Su gave to He Kongyue.

You Su's original intention was to give He Kongyue a pair of black silk stockings for his favorite lady. He Kongyue only kept one pair of black silk stockings for herself, so she gave the remaining pair to Ye Erong as a favor, just in time to help You Su.

He Kongyue was very surprised that You Su was actually engaged in the women's clothing industry. After reading the story circulating in the market, he already had a general idea in his mind.

The idea of ​​women's self-reliance and independence in the story once again refreshed her perception of You Su. She knew that You Su used this as a selling point not to reap the benefits, but because this blind man really respected women from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that she has her own things to do, otherwise she wouldn't have used Ye Erong's hand.

What she had to do was actually very simple. She had to go to Izumo City in person to investigate something on the spot.

That was You Su's original sect's master, wasn't he called Guan Tu...

Why is the lover and disciple of the heroine He Shutong in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" called Guantu?

Her name is the same as her sister's, is it a coincidence?

……

That night, You Su was forced to stay at Bihua Peak.

The enthusiasm of the ladies at Bihua Peak was hard to refuse, so he had no choice but to stay under the supervision of Ji Lingruo and Fairy Wangshu.

These eight female disciples almost obeyed You Su and kept serving him delicious food and drinks.

You Su had never been treated like this before, even in Yuhuan Pool, he was only served by two stunning women. Moreover, the Third Elder and his Junior Sister were still nearby, and he was really terrified and didn't dare to bear it.

You Su also celebrated a little with the girls from Bihua Peak and drank some of Bihua Pavilion's flower wine. Even Ji Lingruo drank some out of the joy of success.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Qingchen is now the manager of Bihua Pavilion. When he was taking wine in front of him, You Su invited him warmly, but was rejected by the third elder. That night, Ye Qingchen was drunk in the wine cellar alone, and his molars were broken.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, You Su got down to business.

The biggest problem at present is the imbalance between supply and demand. In order to catch up with this overwhelming wealth, it is not advisable to forcibly increase production and sacrifice quality.

So You Su proposed the concept of a trial operation, which aimed to determine whether the store was competitive through short-term operation.

It is obvious that Bihua Pavilion has become the most successful women's clothing store in history except Qianhua Pavilion.

So You Su decided that everyone should tighten up first, open for three days, leave a lasting impression in the minds of customers, and then close for a while. During this time, we should quickly expand productivity, stabilize the material supply chain, and then open branches depending on the situation. However, in the short term, we should not be too ambitious and want to expand our business to other places. We must first maintain the basic market of Henggao City.

You Su's suggestion is both far-sighted and steady, and the outline of a stockings empire can be seen.

The girls were so adoring of You Su that they all looked so bright in their eyes that they wished they could just keep Liu Su as their junior apprentice. Unfortunately, Fairy Wangshu was like an icy sword blocking them, so the girls had to keep their thoughts to themselves.

On the second day, the business of Bihua Pavilion was even more booming.

The most surprising thing was that Ye Erong brought a group of famous ladies. These ladies could be said to be the epitome of fashion in Henggao City. They were born with their own traffic, which also made the reputation of Bihua Pavilion reach a higher peak. Even the news of Qianhua Pavilion's promotion again could not dampen the enthusiasm of the female cultivators.

Here, she finally met You Su as she wished. Although You Su was very busy, he still greeted her briefly. After all, they were also people who had experienced life and death together in Lingxu Mountains.

This group of young ladies also saw You Su alive for the first time, and their eyes were full of stars. However, Ji Lingruo continued to perform steadily, and the girls had no chance to chat with her.

Ye Qingchen was furious when he saw that his sister, whom he had begged so hard to come to his business, actually took the initiative to bring her sisters to patronize his business.

He gritted his teeth, bought a pair of chrysanthemum-printed stockings, and then sent someone to deliver them to the headquarters of Qianhua Pavilion in Jinhua City.

On the third day, You Su's strategies brought the Bihua Pavilion's reputation to its peak.

Customers queuing outside are served with snacks, tea and chairs. There are discounts for customers who wait too long, and even if they fail to buy the item, they will be given compensation gifts. There are also various fun games such as turntable and bidding when entering the store, so that you can win more benefits.

However, the most terrifying move was that You Su secretly wrote a few experience articles and circulated them to the outside world.

"Family, who knows, I bought stockings that I can wear for a lifetime."

"Sisters, this pair of stockings is absolutely amazing. They are so comfortable to wear that you will want to stamp your feet."

This heartfelt Amway tone quickly caused a sensation and induced more and more female practitioners who bought Bihuage stockings to share their experiences.

Overall, this is indeed a pair of stockings that far surpasses Qianhua Pavilion in terms of cost-effectiveness and playability.

On the third day, Bihua Pavilion announced its closure, and all the female practitioners were looking forward to the day when it would reopen.

That night, the ladies of Bihua Peak held a celebratory banquet.

They all knew that their hard work was recognized one day, all thanks to You Su. So they all drank with You Su enthusiastically. Ji Lingruo was also happy, and even she joined in the drinking contest.

The Third Elder watched them silently, and happily drank a bottle of her treasured immortal wine. It was not that she kept it to herself and did not share it with everyone, but the wine was too strong, even immortals would get drunk. You Su and other cultivators who were not even at the Feather Transformation Realm would be drunken and die if they had a little bit of it.

Soon, the most sober person at the banquet turned out to be the Fairy Wangshu who couldn't drink.

You Su shook his head, ready to take his senior sister and the sleeping junior sister back to the peak.

The third elder looked at You Su's back and pulled his loose jacket closer:

"You Su, come here, I have something to talk to you about."
