Chapter 61: Qiao Niang brings her maid to sell lip balm, which unexpectedly attracts the favor of her cousin

After being scolded by the old lady, Chen Jinghao kept silent. Yu wanted to speak up for her daughter, but she didn't get any favor from the old lady.

He sent the first wife away with her two daughters.

The old lady looked at Yun Qiao again and was obviously displeased, but she still asked her why she came.

Yun Qiao said that she wanted to ask for a maid to serve Yuan Jieer who was beside her.

The old lady originally didn't want to ask more questions and sent her away. She was just a maid and there was no need to talk to her.

"When Sister Lianxiang was still alive, the maid Ah Chun served her. Now that Sister Lianxiang is gone, the maid is left alone, with no one to take care of her. She came to me begging for mercy, and I couldn't bear it, so I thought of going to the old lady to ask for mercy and let the maid serve in Lan Garden."

The old lady sat back in her chair, thinking...

"In the past few years, I have stuffed quite a few people into the Marquis's courtyard, but he hasn't touched any of them. It's my fault for ruining the lives of so many beautiful girls. Never mind, it's up to you to decide."

Yun Qiao hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Mother Chang looked at Yunqiao and said to send Aunt Qiao away...

However, not long after Yun Qiao walked out of the house, a man chased her outside the door. Only when he got close did she realize it was Li Yuan.

"Aunt Qiao, wait a minute..."

Yun Qiao turned to look at Li Yuan, "Cousin, are you calling me? Is there something wrong?"

Li Yuan leaned in and stared at her for a long time.

"Your skin is so smooth, it's almost as if you've been given a baby. How do you maintain such good skin? And how come I've never seen this lip balm before?"

Yun Qiao really didn't expect that Li Yuan called her for this.

"Skin is natural. This lip balm was made by my maid. She said it's a popular color."

Li Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Really? But I've never seen this color before."

"Tell me what color it is and I'll go buy it now."

Li Yuan looked at the color of the lip balm on Yun Qiao's lips, which made her face look whiter. She liked this color.

"Rotten Tomatoes color."

Li Yuan really sent someone out to buy it right away.

At this time, Yun Qiao hurried back to Lanyuan and took Xiao Tao with her to make a few more boxes of lip balm of the same color. As long as a customer came to ask, the owner of the rouge shop would definitely need a lot. She would give the lip balm in her hand to the owner, and the owner would naturally not refuse it.

For three consecutive days, Yunqiao did not go out and she and Xiaotao delivered more than a dozen boxes of lip balm to the rouge shop.

In the afternoon, he came back in less than an hour.

"Girl, girl, sold out, all sold out..."

"The shopkeeper even held me back and wouldn't let me leave. He kept telling me to make more and he would charge me whatever I could."

Yun Qiao leaned on the soft couch and said softly, "It's out of stock for now. If you want it, you can wait until the middle of next month."

She made the color of her lip balm herself.

Xiaotao followed her and after a while, she learned it too.

Now it is basically Yunqiao who sits and gives instructions while Xiaotao does the operation. Qiuye and Qiuchan are also busy, helping to find materials. When they get money from selling lip balm and rouge, they share some of it with them.

Everyone enjoys this part-time job.

"Miss, we have the manpower and the materials, why should we wait until the middle of the month? Wouldn't it be better to make some now while the heat is on?"

"No, wait and see."

Hunger marketing is a good marketing method both in modern times and in ancient times.

Moreover, Yunqiao plans to launch a set of boxes.

Lip balm, rouge, and special eyebrow pencil powder are made into a set.

After Yun Qiao told Xiao Tao her thoughts, she understood.

"Miss, this is a really clever trick. Now, even if someone has other rouge at home, they will choose to buy this set in order to buy lip balm or our eyebrow pencil powder."

Yun Qiao said softly, "Also, go to the carpenter's shop, take the pattern I made, and make ten according to my drawing."

Yun Qiao made the lip balm, rouge, eyebrow pencil and powder, packed them in boxes, and then took them to the rouge shop to sell. This was a profitable business, and she didn't believe that the owner of the rouge shop would not like to do it.

A few days later, Li Yuan came to see Yun Qiao in person.

I wanted to show off the lip balm I just bought to her, but I saw that the eyebrow pencil powder in front of her was very interesting.

"What is this? I've never seen it before."

"I've seen a lot of things in Kyoto, but why haven't I seen this?"

Li Yuan's family is not in Kyoto, but in Jiangcheng.

As for the good items in Kyoto, she sent people to buy them all as soon as she arrived there. Especially recently, she had fallen in love with lip balm. She spent a lot of money and bought a lot of lip balm, but she still liked the rotten tomato color that she had recently bought.

I don’t know why this lip balm is given such a name, but it is indeed good. When you apply it, you will look very healthy and your skin will be very white.

If you go out now, no one will tell you that you have eaten, right?

They all asked me what color lip balm I used.

"This is eyebrow powder, the same as Luozidai, but simpler and cheaper."

Yun Qiao picked up the things and said, "I have another box in my hand. If you like it, this is for you. I have never used it before. This one is new."

Li Yuan opened it and took a look, and found that the small brush for brushing eyebrows was quite delicate.

So I took it.

"Then I'll take it, but I can't take your things for free. I'll pay you for it."

Yun Qiao said, "It's not much money, and it's not expensive."

"But if you give me money, I'll take it..."

Li Yuan thought Yun Qiao would say no, but unexpectedly, she reached out to take it.

Li Yuan took out a silver ingot and gave it to Yun Qiao.

"You're really rude."

Yun Qiao chuckled and said, "Why should I be polite to my cousin? She's wealthy and powerful. I just thought that if she marries the Marquis in the future, she might consider my flattery and give me some favors..."

Li Yuan was stunned for a long time, and then he started laughing too.

"You are such an interesting person. Since I entered Kyoto City, I haven't found anyone as interesting as you."

The people around her only say flattering words.

On the contrary, people like Yun Qiao are open and honest.

"My cousin is an interesting person. I see you have a kind heart. When you marry into the Marquis's mansion in the future, you will certainly not cause trouble to others."

Li Yuan waved his hand and found a place to sit down.

"Don't flatter me, I'm a petty person."

Li Yuan stayed with Yun Qiao for a while, had a cup of tea, and then left. However, during this short half-day of interaction, Yun Qiao could tell that Li Yuan had a good temper.

If she were the legitimate wife of the Marquis, she might be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion if she begged him kindly in the future.

After Chen Jingyan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he went to his grandmother's house first. Naturally, he visited his cousin Li Yuan. As for the fiancée that his grandmother had found for him, Chen Jingyan valued her tolerance.

Otherwise, in future conflicts within the palace, Yun Qiao, who is unable to bear children, will definitely suffer, and this is not what he wants to see.
