Chapter 32 Invitation

The next morning, Yun Li got up early, washed, and dressed neatly. Today was the opening day of Caizhi Pavilion. She did not make the opening ceremony as grand as Yueyanfang before.

She just asked Shopkeeper Qi to promote the product among the customers who went to Yueyanfang to buy skin care products every day in the past month. She used the modern and exquisite three-dimensional greeting cards of Space Supermarket to write invitations to the young ladies who had registered as members of Yueyanfang.

Yueyanfang has now implemented a limited membership system, issuing 50 gold cards with a minimum deposit of 100,000 taels. All new products enjoy a 9.5% discount, and can enjoy product arrival notification services, product new product notification services, and gifts twice a year.

A top-up of 200,000 taels is a black card, 20 of which are issued. In addition to being a gold card member, members can experience a free facial skincare spa trial of new products in the store! They can also reserve new products in advance! They can enjoy door-to-door product delivery, a 10% discount on all new products, and gifts every quarter.

The extremely high threshold of the membership system makes a group of noble ladies squeeze their heads, fearing that they can't even get a membership card. One person can only apply for one membership card.

The black cards were sold out on the day they were released! The ladies who can spend 200,000 yuan to get a card are almost all from the top-ranked families in Beijing and among the ladies from official families.

The father of any of them is an official appointed by the imperial court, at least an official of the third rank or above!

The limited edition of twenty cards was counted by Yun Li on her fingers. The remaining fifty gold cards were of course to complement the twenty black cards. Without the gold cards, how could the specialness of the black cards be shown?

So those noble ladies who got the black card are very proud of it! Now it is popular among the noble ladies in Beijing to compare cards. They think whoever gets the black card is superior.

Her Caizhige customer base is undoubtedly also these noble ladies. There is no need for a big publicity. Her business purpose is to earn pocket money from the rich rather than the living expenses of the poor.

The more important reason is that Yun Wei is back. She hasn't shown her tail in the past few days. She doesn't want people to notice anything and is being followed. It's always right to keep a low profile.

She was about to go out when Yun Wei came. Oh, she really wanted to curse. She was so annoying.

"Third sister, are you getting ready to go out?"

Yun Li nodded. "Yes, I wonder what brings you here at this time?"

"I'm here to give you an invitation! The Empress is hosting a spring flower viewing banquet in three days. All wives and daughters of officials above the third rank in the capital are invited to attend.

"My mother is ill, and my second sister is getting married soon. She's busy preparing her wedding dress in the courtyard, so she can't attend. My elder sister went alone from our mansion, and I think my third sister has never attended such a high-level banquet, so I told my father to bring my younger sister to the palace to see the world!"

Yun Li frowned. What she hated most was attending this kind of party! And you were even showing her off, A-pei! She didn't care, okay...

This banquet was nothing more than a gathering of noble ladies to show off their talents under the pretext of flower viewing in order to select concubines for the princes.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I know that I am of low status and ugly, so I won't join in the fun. I don't want to embarrass the prime minister's family and bring shame to my father and sister. So, sister, you should go by yourself..."

"Look at what you're saying, little sister. How can I be so self-deprecating? I specifically asked my father to ask the Empress for this invitation. If I don't go, wouldn't the Empress lose face? So, little sister, you should prepare to go to the palace with me in three days! Don't worry, I've never been to the palace before, and I will definitely take good care of you!"

After Yun Wei finished speaking, she stuffed the invitation into her hand, then turned around and left without giving her a chance to refuse.

Yunli opened the invitation and took a look at it, then threw it to Yingtao with an impatient look on her face.

"Oh, this is so annoying!"

How could Yun Wei be taking her out to see the world out of kindness? Her words were full of sarcasm. The invitation she'd specially requested might have been a way for her to embarrass herself at the Spring Banquet, or perhaps some trap had been set for her...

Forget it, if you can't avoid it, then go ahead. It's still uncertain who will win! Then we can only respond to each other's moves.

Cherry saw her anxious face and said, "Miss, don't you want to go to the palace to attend the banquet? I always feel that the young lady has no good intentions."

Bai Zhi: "Not only does she have bad intentions, but the young lady also has a sense of superiority in her words and deeds. You should be careful in the palace when you go there."

Hearing this, Yun Li looked at Bai Zhi with admiration. This girl was dull and quiet at first, but in a short period of time, she has grown a lot. She is very clear-minded and sees things more deeply. Not bad! She needs such a smart and steady person by her side.

"It's okay! Come on, let's go out!"

Yunli brought the two of them to Yueyanfang as usual, changed into men's clothes, and went out through the back door to Caizhige.

Although Caizhi Pavilion was open today, it was still managed by the shopkeeper Qi. The shop was decorated a little bit, and the customers who came to the shop were all the noble ladies of Beijing who had sent invitations in advance.

Yun Li felt that she was lucky to catch up with the Spring Festival Banquet. When these young ladies heard that the owner of Yueyanfang had opened a clothing store, they were very interested. After all, Yueyanfang's products were unprecedented. After using them for a while, their skin was visibly better than in the past years.

So I am looking forward to the vision and products of Yueyanfang owner, for fear that I will come too late and get nothing.

When they arrived, as expected, there was a piece of clothing in the store, which was exquisitely made. I don’t know how creative the owner was. He put the clothes on the mannequins, and the waistline was highlighted as if they were wearing them themselves.

It allows people to see the style and effect of clothes more intuitively, which is much better than hanging them on hangers!

"Shopkeeper, let me try this cloud purple dress!"

"Boss, I want to try on that pink Luo Yan skirt."

"Wow, I've never seen a mirror that reflects people so clearly."

A woman who just finished trying on clothes stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror with an incredible face.

This mirror was made by Yunli from the space. She has placed four similar dressing mirrors in Caizhi Pavilion! Because she designed four fitting rooms, the display design in the store is based on the design of modern clothing stores.

There is a table in the hall as soon as you enter the door. On the table is a large bouquet of colorful flowers, and next to it are neatly stacked display fabrics of various colors.

When you walk into the room, you'll see plastic mannequins wearing sample clothes lined up neatly on both sides.

The lady's excitement immediately attracted the attention of other customers in the store, and they all gathered in front of the full-length mirror.

As noon approached, the shop was crowded with customers, and the house was filled with ladies and maids from various families.

"Boss, can you sell me this dress?"

Shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "Miss, the clothes in Caizhige are custom made! This dress is our sample. If you like it, you can ask our staff to measure your size, pay the money and register it. We can deliver the clothes to your door after they are made."

"Boss, how long will it take to make this dress? Within three days, oh no! Can I have it within two days?"

"This... the time is too tight. Our custom cycle usually takes five to seven days."

"Shopkeeper, I want more money! How much is this dress? I'll pay double the price. Please make sure it's finished within two days!"

Shopkeeper Qi glanced at Yun Li in the corner of the crowd. Yun Li nodded to him and asked him to take the order.
