The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 154

It is obviously much more convenient to have a bullock cart instead of walking to Pulan City that day. After a while, the two drove to the gate of the city.

Qin Mengyao stuffed the silver directly into Li Dazhuang's arms, and after explaining everything he wanted to buy, he walked to the downtown with the essential oil in his pocket.Although Li Dazhuang was worried about her going alone, he couldn't resist Qin Mengyao's stubbornness, so he had to follow Qin Mengyao's instructions and drove to the rice shop with a bullock cart.

When entering the city this time, Qin Mengyao was obviously much more familiar with the terrain of Pulan City than before, so this time he went directly to the shop that specializes in women's makeup products.

Pulan City is not big, but it is impossible to walk all over it in a short time. However, the downtown area of ​​the city is very concentrated, and in the downtown area, there are special alleys for different commodities. The name of the street for women's makeup and jewelry is Tsing Yi Lane, so Qin Mengyao quickly walked to the entrance of this alley.

What's different from other streets is that as soon as he walked to the corner, he could already smell a faint fragrance of powder. Qin Mengyao took a deep breath and couldn't help shaking his head, but there was already a fragrance at the entrance of the alley. As for the fragrance of powder in it? I don't want to get people drunk, let alone an elegant and delicate fragrance, but an overly strong fragrance will be pungent. If it can be replaced by the scent of floral essential oils, that would be the best.

Qin Mengyao was full of confidence in the essential oil he had refined, so he walked into Tsing Yi Lane with his legs lifted.

Not long after he left, he saw a shop with rouge boxes of various colors. Qin Mengyao looked up and saw the words "Liufang Pavilion" on the plaque at the door. The name was really vulgar.But in the meantime, there were a few women hanging around in it. Looking at their clothes, they must be well-known and rich in the city. Qin Mengyao secretly cried out in his heart, how could it be possible for a small family to afford this kind of makeup in the store, and there are so many stalls outside. However, with Qin Mengyao's economic level, he might only be able to afford those street stalls, which shows that he has come to the right place.

With a contest in his heart, Qin Mengyao raised his legs and stepped into Liufang Pavilion.

The little guy in the shop took a look at Qin Mengyao, then turned his head aside, seeing Qin Mengyao's attire, he probably wasn't rich or noble, presumably a bumpkin came to the city, came in to see what was new, to have a look. It's fine if you can't afford it, so you simply ignore it.

Qin Mengyao took a look around the store, but no clerk came forward to say hello, and beside the women in fancy clothes, there was a helpful worker who was helpful in introducing them, and he knew in his heart that those jobs saw him as shabby Treat yourself as a customer.

But having said that, when Qin Mengyao entered the city this time, he really didn't regard himself as a customer. On the contrary, these stores were his customers.After getting a general understanding of the business in the store, Qin Mengyao walked to the counter and saw a guy sitting in front of the counter taking a nap, so he said softly with a smile on his face, "My little brother, do you still accept spices?" ?”

The man opened his eyes and saw that it was a young woman in rough clothes, so he closed his eyes again and shook his head impatiently.

"My little brother, I have good spices here. Can you please ask your boss to come out for a while?" Qin Mengyao acted on the principle of asking for help, and his tone was unavoidably humble, but he became more and more impatient with the job.

"Go, go, what good spices can you have? Our boss is very busy, and there are many people who want to sell spices to the boss. Is it possible that our boss needs to receive them one by one? Hurry up, don't affect our business," the job said. Throwing Qin Mengyao a big white eye, there happened to be a beautiful woman leading a maid to the counter to check out, so she quickly turned her smile and ignored Qin Mengyao who was standing aside.

Qin Mengyao saw that there was nowhere to go here, so he had to turn around and look for another home. Just two steps away, he heard the workman behind him muttering to the maid, "Huh, what good spices can a bumpkin from the country have on him? He still wants to see us." Boss, what a fool's dream!"

The servant girl sneered when she heard this, "Some people just don't know what to do, and they don't look in the mirror to see how much they weigh. Oh, that's right, she doesn't even know if there is a mirror at home!"

Qin Mengyao paused, looked back, saw the girl's sneering face clearly, bit her lip secretly, turned around and strode out the door.

The flow of people in Qingyi Lane gradually increased, Qin Mengyao stood at the door and took a few deep breaths, then turned around and carefully looked at the plaque of Liufang Pavilion, deeply remembered, and finally turned around and walked deep into Qingyi Lane.

Ever since she was a child, Qin Mengyao has never been ridiculed like this. Although she has been comforting herself, the initial excitement has obviously dropped a lot after this incident.

He walked past several jewelry stores, where the jade and gold and silver ornaments were shining brightly in the sun. Qin Mengyao didn't care about this, so he glanced at the door of the store before continuing to walk forward.

After walking almost the entire street, he saw another cosmetic shop. Qin Mengyao hesitated at the door for a while, and was about to step in when he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him, "Sister Qin, please stay!"

There are people coming and going on the noisy street, and the daughter of a wealthy family is often surrounded by several servants, shouting and embracing, and it is very lively, and when they meet each other, the younger sister, the elder sister, and the younger sister praise each other, Qin Mengyao comes here It's just like watching a costume drama.

With this sudden sound, Sister Qin was very lost in the sea of ​​people. Qin Mengyao didn't realize that the other party was calling him, and still walked forward on his own.

As a result, a woman in a light yellow dress suddenly rushed in front of Qin Mengyao, her handsome face was filled with anger, "Our lady, please stop!"

At this time, the beautiful woman behind her walked over with a smile, her skin was still delicate and shiny without any makeup on her face, her hair was loosely tied in a bun at the back of her head. You will know its wealth and grace.

"Biyun, don't be rude," the beautiful woman called the woman in the goose-yellow dress back to her side, scolded lightly, then turned to look at Qin Mengyao who was standing on the first step, "Sister Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time , how has my sister been all along?"

Qin Mengyao glanced at the beautiful woman suspiciously, only to feel that her face was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was, but judging from the situation, the other party should have crossed paths with him, could it be an acquaintance before this body ?So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond vaguely.

The beautiful woman saw her hesitation, so she smiled slightly and said: "The Sophora japonica essential oil made by my sister is really wonderful. I have always wanted to buy a few more bottles from my sister, but I have never met my sister in this city. It is really fate to meet here today!"

In this way, Qin Mengyao suddenly realized that the first buyer she met when she entered the city was this beautiful woman, Mrs. You. She thought that she would only pay for the essential oil in order to thank her for saving her. Next, I didn't expect the floral essential oil to have such a great charm.

"Oh, Mrs. You has won the prize. It is Mengyao's honor to meet Mrs. You." Qin Mengyao couldn't help but happily stepped down the steps and stood in front of Mrs. You. Madam looked much younger than half a year ago, and Qin Mengyao was exposed to the sun every day, and his originally fair skin had slowly tanned to a wheat-colored color, and he had long lost the beautiful skin that could be broken at the beginning.

"My sister, if you don't mind, can I have a cup of tea with you?" Mrs. You had just chosen a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade from the jewelry store next door, and she was feeling weak at the moment, so Qin Mengyao couldn't help objecting, so she took Qin Meng's arm With Yao's arm, he entered a teahouse at the end of Tsing Yi Lane.

When she was seated in the quiet and elegant box, Qin Mengyao was still a little confused. She just came to the city to sell some essential oils for daily use, but met a so-called acquaintance in a daze, the key is that this acquaintance only has one side Yuan, why did she follow others into such a high-end teahouse like this.

But fortunately, she often went to various high-end restaurants earlier, so she didn't feel cramped when sitting in the private seat. Except for the old style, there was no difference in the rest. Besides, the view from the window was excellent, as long as one You can see everything on the street clearly by lowering your head. This situation is quite similar to modern times, and it can't help but arouse Qin Mengyao's homesickness.

Similar to Qin Mengyao, Mrs. You's mind was obviously not on drinking tea. The two sat quietly for a while, and Mrs. You finally couldn't help but asked: "Sister, I don't know how your business is doing recently. The floral essential oil The quality is excellent, presumably there should be many rich ladies rushing to buy it, right?"

Hearing these words, Qin Mengyao blushed, "To be honest, Mengyao hasn't sold another bottle since Madam bought those two bottles of essential oil that day. In fact, there were some accidents at home some time ago, so I also bought them." I don’t have the heart and energy to think about it.”

"So that's the case. No wonder I haven't found out about my sister's whereabouts. Could it be that my sister went to the city today to buy some makeup and cream?" Madam You felt disappointed. Since Qin Mengyao said so, I'm afraid it's impossible for her to have those unique things on her body again. floral essential oil.She was looking for Qin Mengyao wholeheartedly in order to buy some essential oils back home. Since she used Sophora japonica essential oil, the master's interest in her has obviously increased a lot, but it is a pity that the last bottle of essential oil has been used up two months ago. , without the charming fragrance of flowers, the master's attitude has obviously changed.

"Mengyao doesn't really care much about makeup and powder, but just wants to introduce a few bottles of essential oils to those shops, but who knows that he was kicked out as soon as he entered," Qin Mengyao said about the encounter just now in Liufang Pavilion. He did not hide everything about it, and even the always elegant Mrs. You couldn't help sighing after a brief introduction.

"Oh, these shopkeepers have always bullied others, and my sister has been wronged," Mrs. You glanced at Biyun. This maid of hers had followed her since she was a child, so she was inevitably arrogant and domineering. After hearing Qin Mengyao's experience, she couldn't help but think of it. Seeing Biyun's attitude just now, Biyun didn't feel that something was wrong, it could be seen that Mrs. You meant something, and she lowered her head and her eyes were reddened with extreme displeasure.

"It's nothing. They can't believe that ordinary people like Mengyao can come up with decent spices. If you run into a wall a few times, you will find a Bole who really knows the goods." Qin Mengyao smiled self-deprecatingly, The world is like this, and it doesn't help if you are unwilling.

But after Mrs. You heard this, her mind became active. She suddenly had a bold idea, but this idea seemed absurd to her, but that kind of wish gave her an urgent impulse. , finally lowered his voice and said: "In this case, have you ever thought about owning a store of your own?"

"Ah, what!" Although the words were soft, Qin Mengyao's ears were like a crack in the dense cloud being split in the sky, and he couldn't help crying out.

Madam You knew that it would take time to digest this idea, so she took a sip of the tea, smiled slightly and did not explain.

But Qin Mengyao's thoughts exploded. She needs a store, she really needs a small store of her own. With a small shop, there are very few products she can sell now, except for a few bottles of essential oils, and those potted plants that are still growing. As for flowers, she thinks she has enough time, and it is good to open a flower shop s Choice.

However, this question suddenly fell on her head, which really made people feel a little overwhelmed.

"I am willing, of course I am willing!" Qin Mengyao murmured, and after hearing this answer, the smile on Madam You's face grew stronger.

"Opening a store has always been my dream, but I'm afraid it's not possible now!" Qin Mengyao seemed to wake up suddenly, shaking his head repeatedly, "One is that Mengyao's family is really struggling financially, and they can't afford the start-up capital needed to open a store. , if you open a store, you need to think more about what kind of products the store mainly sells. So..."

"As for the issue of funds, you don't have to worry," said Madam You, seeing that she had analyzed these reasons in such a short period of time, her appreciation for her rose to a new level, and since Qin Mengyao also mentioned the issue of starting funds for opening a store , I no longer avoid my inner thoughts, and simply speak out.

"The floral essential oil developed by my sister can be used as the treasure of the store. I believe that in a short time, there will be countless women in the city who come here admiringly. As for the others, I remember that my sister once mentioned that there are some flower seedlings in the house. If possible, they can be used as commodities." Selling it is also a good choice, but if my sister has a better choice, it is naturally the best."

"Mengyao has no virtue and no talent. I really can't bear such good luck." Qin Mengyao's brows gradually gathered together, half happy and half worried about Mrs. You's proposal. On Qin Mengyao's head, she became withdrawn instead. In the past, Qin Mengyao would have happily accepted it, but Fang Yuan's lesson seemed to be a blow to the head.

"My sister is right to be worried. To be honest, the You family is originally from a family of merchants. If my sister wants to run the business, I will definitely help. I also have countless dowry funds to open the store. Not to mention a storefront Even several families think that there may be a problem, so I ask my sister to go back today and think about it carefully, if my sister is interested, please think about it and tell me, do you still remember the location of Youfu?"
