Jiang Yimian asked curiously, "Why didn't Lin Yan'an come today?"
Since this guy knows that the Jiang family's shop is opening, he must be coming to join in the fun.
Lin Zhaozhao said helplessly, "He set off for the capital yesterday, saying that there were some problems with his business there and he wanted to go and see for himself. That's why he asked me to deliver the gift. I happened to run into Chunyue on the way, so we came together."
Chunyue smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at the brocade box in the servant's hand.
Throughout the journey, Lin Zhaozhao told her that the items in the brocade box were carefully selected by that young master Lin, which made her even more expectant.
Last time, that young master brought the young lady some vegetarian food. Although it was made by Miss Jiang, her thoughtfulness is commendable. She must be a considerate and meticulous person.
Lin Zhaozhao, who was standing nearby, urged, "Sister Jiang, please open it quickly. This is a congratulatory gift from my brother. You can't refuse it."
She was so eager to know what was inside.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian had no choice but to open the brocade box.
Lin Zhaozhao and Chunyue quickly leaned over to look, and when they saw what was inside the brocade box, they burst out laughing.
"My brother is really something, he actually gave you such a big golden toad."
She thought it was something special, but it turns out it's just a money toad that brings wealth!
It's fortunate that Xiao Fu said her brother had carefully selected the item for several days; if she had known this would happen, she should have secretly switched it for her brother.
Who gives a golden toad to a young lady? Sister Jiang isn't one of those middle-aged businessmen who only know how to do business; she wouldn't like this golden toad.
Her brother had the nerve to say he'd picked it out from the ground up, when she could clearly see it was something he'd taken from his own warehouse.
Jiang Yimian wasn't disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's great. Please thank your brother for me. This giant toad is a lucky charm for attracting wealth, and it's perfect for the shop's opening."
The meaning is wonderful, and it seems to be made of pure gold. Although the workmanship is somewhat ordinary in her opinion, it is still quite valuable.
It's a nice gift.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was genuinely satisfied, Lin Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt helpless that the gift from that silly older brother was too ordinary, fortunately the meaning was good, so it wouldn't be too annoying.
Fortunately, it was for the opening of a shop, which had a good meaning. If it were another festival or birthday, this gift would be truly laughable.
Chunyue, who was standing to the side, smiled and took out a small brocade box, saying helplessly, "Miss only learned about Miss Jiang opening a shop yesterday. There was no time to prepare anything. This is a pair of white jade bracelets that Miss Jiang likes the most. She specially asked me to give them to you."
As soon as the brocade box was opened, the white jade bracelet inside was revealed to them.
It looks ordinary, but its translucent color clearly indicates that it is not an ordinary jade bracelet.
Jiang Yimian quickly thanked her, saying, "Please thank you for your kindness, young lady. I really appreciate it."
Hearing this, Chunyue just smiled and chatted with Jiang Yimian for a few more minutes, telling her about Xie Yu's recent situation.
Because she still had things to do, she quickly looked around the shop, packed some food, and then left with Lin Zhaozhao.
Jiang Yimian quickly handed the lipstick and lip rouge from the carriage to the two of them.
"These are lipsticks and lip rouges made by those cochineal insects. I think the colors are quite nice, and Miss Xie should like them. I'm so grateful that you've made a special trip to deliver this gift today."
Compared to what the two people brought, her gift seemed rather ordinary in appearance.
Chunyue smiled, thinking it was just some oddly shaped lip rouge, and didn't pay much attention.
Lin Zhaozhao's eyes lit up instantly; she didn't believe that Sister Jiang would bring out anything ordinary.
He immediately opened the lipstick cap, and following Jiang Yimian's instructions, gently twisted it, and the bright red lipstick spun up from the inner ring.
Chun Yue was also surprised. She didn't expect that such an ordinary thing would have such an ingenious internal structure. With a gentle turn, the lipstick hidden inside appeared.
Lin Zhaozhao gently tried the color on her hand and was so surprised that her eyes widened. She said in disbelief, "This lipstick is so easy to apply! The color is so delicate and beautiful. It's even better than the most expensive lip gloss in the shop."
The lip balms in the shop are not only difficult to apply, but they are also a bit dry, especially when applied to the lips, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
But she could clearly feel the moisturizing texture of the lipstick in her hand.
This is just applied to the hand; the effect would definitely be better on the lips.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "I'm glad Zhaozhao likes it. Next time, if I make a different color, I'll let you try it first."
Lin Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, carefully put away the lipstick, and handed it to the maid beside her like a treasure. She asked curiously, "Sister Jiang, you must be going to use this lipstick to do business, right? How do you plan to start a lipstick business?"
Although she wanted Sister Jiang to continue cooperating with the Lin family, she also knew that the Lin family's expertise lay in pharmacies, and they didn't know much about things related to women.
Although she owns several cosmetic shops, they are all small-scale operations, and she doesn't need to manage them all the time. She is willing but unable to cooperate with Sister Jiang, fearing that she might hold her back.
Jiang Yimian shook her head and said helplessly, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about how to do this lipstick business once Jiang's shop is on track."
Chunyue, standing to the side, thought of Baoxiangfang. She had heard the princess say that she wanted to give the shop to Miss Jiang. She thought that the princess should have given it to her by now.
Thinking it over, she quickly said, "Miss Jiang, you can just take this lipstick to the shop I gave you and sell it there. Don't worry about not finding buyers. As soon as such a good product appears in the capital, all the ladies and young women will not miss it."
Especially in Baoxiangfang, a place considered a treasure by the ladies of the capital.
Although it has been overshadowed by other shops in recent years due to the lack of new cosmetics, it still has its roots. As long as lipsticks appear in the shop, there is no need to worry about a lack of buyers.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat surprised, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will give it a try."
At first, she thought Baoxiangfang was just some small shop, but now it doesn't seem like it at all!
Seeing this, Chun Yue just smiled and continued, "Miss Jiang, you should visit my young lady at the manor when you have time. She misses you terribly lately and keeps pestering the manor's cook to make those vegetarian meat dishes every day, but they don't taste like yours at all."
If the girls hadn't been taking medicinal baths lately, they would definitely have come together today.
Jiang Yimian quickly replied, "I will make some vegetarian meat dishes for Miss Xie another day. I hope Miss Xie will not find them offensive."
Chunyue just smiled and waved her hand. Her young lady couldn't wait to eat the vegetarian meat dish made by Miss Jiang herself. She was too happy to complain.
Watching the two leave, Jiang Yimian looked down at the two brocade boxes in her hands and smiled helplessly.
She didn't tell them about the shop's opening because the Jiang family only ran a small shop, and there was no need to make a big fuss. She didn't expect them to find out anyway, and even prepared a gift for her. They were so thoughtful.
Just then, a dissatisfied shout came from inside the shop.
