The Duan family mother and daughter didn't bother to think about why the owner and the clerk of Linglong Pavilion were so polite to Qingtian. They followed the owner upstairs to look in the mirror.
There are Western-style full-length mirrors in several private rooms on the second floor of Linglong Pavilion.
The mirrors are all square and can reflect people from head to toe.
The only difference is the mirror screen.
This Western mirror is indeed different. The person reflected in it is very clear, even the eyebrows and eyelashes are clearly visible.
The Duan family mother and daughter were both stunned when they saw themselves in the mirror. They didn't care if there were other people around them and started looking at themselves from all directions.
I can't stop praising Ye Ersao's cooking skills.
Mrs. Duan was so happy that she waved her hand and bought two full-length mirrors.
I plan to keep one for myself and give the other as a dowry to my daughter.
She used to think that Western things were too expensive, but today she understands that there is a reason why they are expensive.
Before finishing her shopping and preparing to go home, Mrs. Duan held Ye Ersao's hand and praised her for a long time, and finally gave her an extra ten taels of silver as a thank you.
Ye Ersao was flattered. Fortunately, Qingtian pulled her skirt from behind and stopped her from bending down in time.
She recalled what Qingtian had taught her on the way here, tried to keep a straight face, and thanked Mrs. Duan.
Mrs. Ye was originally worried that Mrs. Duan would be angry about this.
But Mrs. Duan didn't take it as an offense at all. She turned around and thanked Madam Lu with a smile.
After watching the Duan family mother and daughter get on the carriage and leave, and after the carriage was out of sight, Second Sister Ye let out a long sigh, raised her hand and patted her chest and said, "Oh, it was all thanks to the sunny day just now, otherwise I would have almost had to bow and scrape to thank you again.
"I'm so nervous! I'm especially worried that Mrs. Duan will be angry."
Madam Lu smiled and said, "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. You will get used to it after a few times."
Mrs. Ye shook her head in confusion and said, "Rich people have really strange thoughts. If you hadn't taught me, I would never have thought it would be like this in my life."
Qingtian said with a smile: "Second Aunt, when you have money in the future, maybe you will understand what rich people think!"
"Oh my goodness," Second Sister Ye sighed, recalling Madam Duan's generosity in buying two full-length mirrors without blinking an eye. "How much money does it take to spend like that?"
Unexpectedly, Madam Lu said, "It's okay. Wait until next month, or at the latest the month after, and you won't need my advice. You should come to Linglong Pavilion and buy a full-length mirror yourself."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he also joined in the fun and said, "If Second Sister Ye comes to buy it, the store will definitely give her a good price!"
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Why would I buy such expensive things? Even if I make money, I can't spend it carelessly. There are so many places to spend money at home!"
Madam Lu said, "If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see."
Qingtian also said, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry, this time I stand on Mr. Lu's side."
Mrs. Ye thought they were teasing her and didn't dwell on it any further.
"Okay, let's go back!" Madam Lu invited the two to get in the car.
The shopkeeper quickly said, "Don't be impatient, wait a moment before leaving."
Madam Lu knew the rules and thought the shopkeeper wanted to give Qingtian a commission for introducing business, so she declined on her behalf, saying, "If you think about it, Qingtian and Young Master Qin are senior apprentice brothers and sisters.
"The two kids have such a good relationship, so it's normal for them to refer some business here. They can't just take it to another store, right? Don't you agree?"
"So, please don't even mention the reward. Otherwise, it will make the children seem distant."
The shopkeeper obviously thought of this as well, and quickly said with a smile, "I know Miss Qingtian is thinking about my young master, and she's eager to introduce us to any good things.
"How dare I talk about paying Miss Sunny?
“It’s just that I just saw that the clothes made by Mrs. Ye are really beautiful, and the store just happened to have a batch of Western-style feather yarns.
"This feather yarn is beautiful and light, perfect for making clothes in summer.
"This batch of goods is still in the warehouse and has not been put on display yet. I asked the clerk to quickly get a piece to make a skirt for Miss Sunny."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, the clerk came over panting, holding a piece of cloth wrapped in paper.
The shopkeeper spoke first before Madam Lu could politely decline on Qingtian's behalf, "Actually, I have a selfish motive in giving this piece of material to Miss Qingtian.
"Mrs. Ye's clothes are so beautiful. If I could use this feather yarn to make a nice dress for Miss Qingtian.
"If Miss Sunny wears this, it will be like promoting the feather yarn in our store!
"Of course, I can't let Second Sister Ye make clothes for free. When Second Sister Ye comes to buy a full-length mirror, I will definitely give you a good price."
When Madam Lu heard this, she couldn't help but admire him.
He really deserves to be the owner of Linglong Pavilion. He can make a piece of feather gauze have several layers of meaning.
Firstly, it was to thank Qingtian, secondly, he definitely wanted to promote it, and thirdly, he also brought up the matter of Ye Ersao buying a full-length mirror.
This made it difficult for Madam Lu to refuse.
She is Qingtian's master, so there is naturally no problem for her to refuse on Qingtian's behalf.
But she couldn't just refuse the discounts that the shopkeeper would give to Ye Ersao in the future.
Madam Lu smiled helplessly and said to the shopkeeper, "As expected, the old ones are the wisest. You have fooled me.
“No wonder the Qin family hired you as the manager of Linglong Pavilion.
"It seems that you have made an invaluable contribution to Linglong Pavilion's continued success as the leading Western goods store in the capital!"
When the shopkeeper heard Madam Lu praising him like this, he knew that his little trick had been seen through.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all, he just laughed and said, "I'm showing off my skills in front of Madam Lu!
"But to be honest, whether it's based on the affection between Miss Sunny and my young master, or because she helped my family sell two full-length mirrors, this piece of fabric is what Miss Sunny deserves!
"If I let Miss Qingtian return empty-handed, my young master won't let me off easily!"
The last statement was a bit exaggerated.
But what she said before was still very reasonable, and since it was just a piece of feather gauze material, Madam Lu took the initiative to accept it on behalf of Qingtian.
After the three of them got in the car, Madam Lu told the driver to go to the dumpling restaurant.
Just when Second Aunt Ye was wondering why Madam Lu had to personally send Qingtian back to the dumpling restaurant since she was already there, Qingtian said excitedly, "Second Aunt, I've planned everything you need to do next. I'll tell you in detail when we get home."
Only then did Mrs. Ye remember that she had promised Madam Lu that she would let Qingtian come to her place to help with the accounting. She just didn't know why Qingtian was also responsible for arranging the subsequent business.
