When Song Xizhi spoke the last few words, his voice softened slightly.
But that eerie voice, though devoid of any particular emotion, stirred something within Manager Yang, sending a chill down his spine.
He hurriedly touched his arm, which was covered in goosebumps, and looked at Song Xizhi's expressionless face. He saw that she had already walked out of the house first.
Song Xizhi went downstairs without any attempt to conceal himself. All the indignant shop assistants saw a stunningly beautiful woman emerge from the mysterious room that had originally belonged exclusively to the boss.
Everyone held their breath, stopped what they were doing, and looked up at Song Xizhi as she gracefully descended the stairs, her every move extremely elegant, and she carried a complex fragrance.
Wherever she went, the air would be filled with a special fragrance.
"He can make incense, and he came from that mysterious room... Is this our boss?"
"Is our boss finally going to show up?"
"..."
Everyone stood there, stunned.
When Song Xizhi stood at the entrance of Pinxianglou, he encountered Madam Xin who had rushed over.
"Oh, you're finally going to show your face?" Madam Xin looked at Song Xizhi in surprise.
Song Xizhi nodded with a smile: "It's better to show up yourself than to let others take advantage of you."
Speaking of this, Madam Xin stood at the door, full of anger: "You have no idea how many people are outside! My carriage couldn't even squeeze in. I got off the carriage at the street corner and walked in on my own two legs."
Almost everyone came to join the fun because of the shocking news that He Yunze had released.
After Madam Xin finished speaking, she looked past Song Xizhi and glanced into the Pinxianglou restaurant. She noticed that it was no longer as lively as before: "But there are hardly any people in our shop. They've all gone to watch the excitement."
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi looked towards Ruoan Tower again.
Ruoan Tower was filled with a festive atmosphere, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. At this moment, one could hear the deafening sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, making it look extremely lively.
At this moment, Ruoanlou was not yet open for business, and people were not allowed to go inside, so the interior decorations could not be seen. However, the exterior facade was quite impressive.
Song Xizhi narrowed his eyes.
After He Yunze spent six thousand taels to rent the shop for a year, many things happened in the shop.
While He Yunze was being tormented and targeted by Prince Xiu, Prime Minister Lin and others in the officialdom, he also had to deal with the affairs of Xianglou. He was both impatient and anxious, and all he could think about was the opening day of Xianglou.
This day had become his only hope, so he rushed to finish the work, hired a new crew, and spent a fortune to make the opening ceremony so grand.
It must have cost a considerable amount of money more than originally planned.
But he had no money left, so who could he borrow from?
As she was pondering this, Manager Yang, carrying an abacus, hurriedly arrived at Song Xizhi's side.
Before he could speak, he heard Song Xizhi calmly instruct him, "Since a brothel has opened across the street, and it's so festive, we should naturally offer our congratulations as well..."
Shopkeeper Yang's eyes widened in an instant: "Congratulations...?"
Song Xizhi nodded to him: "So all the incense at Pinxianglou is half price today."
Upon hearing this, Manager Yang's eye twitched violently: This wasn't a congratulatory message; it was clearly sabotage!
He nodded hurriedly and shouted loudly outside, "Great! From this moment on, all incense at Pinxianglou will be half price!"
When Song Xizhi said this, he didn't try to hide it, so many people standing at the door heard what he said.
They turned around with great curiosity, and when they saw Song Xizhi standing at the door, their eyes lit up again: "Who are you? How can you decide the price of incense at Pinxiang Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xin raised her voice: "This lady is the owner of our Pinxiang Pavilion. She is the one who developed all the incense in Pinxiang Pavilion, including the Penglai Wonderland incense."
Everyone's gaze turned fervent in an instant.
Song Xizhi stood at the store entrance and smiled and nodded to everyone: "Not only that, Pinxianglou has launched more new incense products today, which are also half price. The quantity is limited, so it's first come, first served. You can try them all."
Upon hearing this, many people on the street erupted in excitement.
Some people even shouted with delight: "The owner of Pinxianglou has appeared! She's a stunning beauty! And she's launched new products! All of them are half price!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone rushed into the Fragrant Pavilion.
Despite the lively atmosphere, it's worth noting that the incense at Pinxianglou is incredibly expensive, so a 50% discount is a significant saving.
Moreover, if you manage to snag a pair of those new incense products, it will be a wonderful thing, attracting countless admirers.
Song Xizhi took a few steps towards the entrance to make way for the customers. A large crowd surged behind her, emptying the once-crowded street in an instant.
She looked up at the plaque of Ruoan Tower, a faint smile always on her face.
Originally, He Yunze was standing in front of the window of Ruoan Tower, embracing Song Ruoan tightly while admiring the bustling crowd in front of his door, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.
Even before its official opening, the shop has already generated such a buzz, far surpassing the grand opening of Song Xizhi's Pinxianglou.
Before He Yunce could be happy for long, he saw a small commotion in the crowd, and then they all rushed towards Pinxianglou.
He Yunze's eyes widened in an instant: "What's going on? What happened down there?"
The newly hired waiter reported with a worried look on his face: "The mysterious owner behind the Pinxiang Restaurant across the street has just shown up."
"Not only did they make an appearance and launch new products, but they also said that all incense is half price."
Upon hearing this, He Yunze hurriedly looked down towards the direction of Pinxianglou and saw Song Xizhi slowly walking to the center of the street, giving him a bright smile.
That smile was radiant and dazzling, so beautiful it was beyond compare. He Yunze's eyes were fixed on Song Xizhi's smile, and his hands, which were originally wrapped around Song Ruoan's waist, tightened continuously.
"Is my sister deliberately provoking us?" Song Ruoan felt the pressure on her waist and cried out in pain, her voice becoming much sharper.
He Yunze took a deep breath, abruptly removed his hand from Song Ruoan's waist, and then gripped the window frame tightly again.
"She knew we were going to expose her true colors, and finally got scared, so she revealed her identity in advance in an attempt to ruin our lies."
He Yunze's gaze was deep, and his voice carried a hint of gritted teeth: "Since she's so impatient, then I'll reveal her true colors in advance and ruin her reputation!"
