Chapter 1102: You Can’t Lie, But You Can’t Not Tell the Truth
"Oh, right," Madam Shi Er suddenly looked at Qiao Xuan with a smile, "Isn't Madam Shao from Yuzhang? I think Madam Shao knows better than anyone else, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Xuan.
Tian Jingjing sneered and glanced at Qiao Xuan with contempt. She thought to herself, a lipstick must be very expensive for her. Can she afford it? Ask her? How would she know!
The price of lipstick has now risen to ten taels of silver per stick, and the price Le Zhengxiao gave to Qiao Xuan has also increased to five taels per stick.
When asked this question, Qiao Xuan paused.
She suddenly thought of a question!
She could not tell the truth, but Madam Qiao San, Qiao Wei and Qiao Kou knew that lipstick was a joint venture between their family and the Le Zheng family. If she said something now and Madam Qiao San and the others reported something conflicting later, it would be embarrassing.
Qiao Xuan doesn't want this kind of embarrassment.
I don't want people to think I'm a liar.
Even if Mrs. Qiao San and the others didn't say it - or didn't have the opportunity or thought to say it, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and sooner or later this matter will be known to everyone.
But if you tell the truth, that won’t work!
What if someone uses both soft and hard tactics to threaten you into partnership?
Even if you don't use both soft and hard tactics, the endless nagging is enough to cause trouble.
Qiao Xuan had a headache because she couldn't lie, nor could she not tell the truth.
She lowered her eyes, nodded, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Of course I know. I also know a little about lipstick. It's a business that I cooperate with the Lezheng family. Lipstick requires a lot of roses, roses, pomegranate flowers, osmanthus, red and blue flowers to dye it."
You can imagine the rest yourself. This is all she can say now.
Even Mrs. Qiao San and her family only had a vague understanding of the lipstick business. They only knew that their family could rely on the Le Zheng family for shade, and subconsciously believed that the Le Zheng family, not themselves, was the dominant force in this business.
Even if they could say something, there would be limits to what they could say.
As expected, everyone showed an expression of surprise and understanding.
What surprised me was that I never expected Qiao Xuan to be related to lipstick!
It is obvious that she knows how to grow flowers. Lipstick needs to be dyed with flowers, so it is normal for Lezheng to cooperate with her.
"I never thought that Mrs. Shao is such a real person who never reveals her identity!"
"That's right!"
"Mrs. Shao's craftsmanship is truly amazing!"
"Why"
Everyone became more curious and asked.
Qiao Xuan picked out some things to say.
Everyone was filled with emotion, and the way they looked at her was a little different.
Such luck, I am really impressed!
Even if she only provided flowers, she must have made a lot of money, right? No wonder she was able to go to Beijing with Shao Bianxiu, and no wonder Shao Bianxiu would rather offend the Tian family to have her.
So someone asked Qiao Xuan if she could help buy lipstick from Yuzhang.
Because the capital city is quite far from Yuzhang, no one can send their family to Yuzhang for no reason.
So whenever a new product comes out, it’s simply not available for purchase.
It's very difficult to buy a few.
Qiao Xuan was a little embarrassed and said that if anyone wanted it, they could come to her and ask, but it was hard to say whether she could get it.
Because she and Shao Yunduan came to the capital, they couldn't contact Yuzhang often.
We can only inquire about the passing caravans and pay the trust to them.
Everyone agreed. How could Qiao Xuan's family have a servant who could run errands so far? It would be worse than having one at home.
So I gave up the idea.
