Chapter 227: Ice Skin Hall Opening
Upon hearing the news brought by Liuyun, Su Jing and Su Wan changed their expressions in perfect sync.
In an instant, the smile on his face turned into silence.
There must be something wrong with the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion. He always invites them to play here and there.
I found several excuses to turn it down the previous times, always saying I was busy, busy with social engagements, busy with ancestor worship, and busy with business. This time I really don't know how to refuse.
After all, it is an invitation from the Earl's Mansion. It is really disrespectful to refuse it again and again.
They say that things never happen more than three times. If I refuse this time, it would be a bit unreasonable.
So the brother and sister looked at each other and asked tentatively at the same time:
"Do you want to go?"
Even their expressions and tones are exactly the same, they are undoubtedly siblings.
"I think we should go!" They spoke at the same time again, and they couldn't help but laugh at their tacit understanding.
"I've already turned down the Earl's invitation several times. It would be tactless to refuse again. Brother, let's go once. You'll be taking up your post in a few days anyway, and you won't have to see them again in the future."
"Well, you are right. We still have to give face to the Earl's Mansion, otherwise they will accuse us of being arrogant." Su Jing thought about it and it made sense. Although he was the top scholar, he did not hold a high official position after all, so he would not offend the Earl's Mansion.
His entire family is now in Xiangzhou, so as to avoid offending anyone and being harassed.
The Earl's Mansion also had limited patience. After being rejected several times, the arrogant Earl and his wife were already very impatient and privately scolded Su Jing and his sister for being ungrateful.
"Go back to the forum and find out what time it is. If it's a spring outing, they probably invited more than just us. There should be other famous ladies and young men from prominent families as well. It won't be awkward if we go."
Liuyun received the order, nodded and went to reply.
The outing is tomorrow, and considering that Su Jing will be leaving for his new post in a few days, preparations are hurried.
The three siblings left the house and headed straight for Bingji Hall, just in time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Bingji Hall.
Qiu Niang is dressed in red today, looking very festive. The cinnabar at the corners of her eyes makes her eyes look even more charming.
She accurately located the group where Su Wan was, nodded and smiled at her as a greeting.
Su Wan responded to her while clapping.
Bingjitang opens today, and the Bingji Yugu Cream is limited to 100 jars. After three days, it will be limited to only 100 jars per month. It is uncertain when it will be available and when it will not.
Good things cannot be bought whenever you want. Only hunger marketing can ensure long-term popularity.
Bingjitang has many items that are hard to find on the market. Qiu Niang brought another group of people over. Their monthly salary was not as good as theirs, only eight taels of silver per person per month. They were all good workers and efficient.
In addition to beauty-enhancing facial creams and hand creams, Qiu Niang can also make eyebrow powders of different colors, cinnabar, nail polish, and lip balm.
The two hundred taels Su Wan spends every month is totally worth it.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, customers waiting to go in and consume at the Bingjitang store filed in.
The wealthy went straight to the second floor, and ordinary people started shopping on the first floor.
In short, business was good and we had transactions in no time.
Su Wan walked in slowly with Su Jing and Su Yi, listening to the women chattering there.
"Wanwan, whatever you like, brother will buy it for you." Su Jing expressed his opinion beside her.
"And me, I have money and can buy it for you too." Su Yi has a few hundred taels of savings now, so he is quite generous to his sister.
"Then I won't be polite." Su Wan didn't hesitate. She just had to know how to handle the situation properly.
There was already a lot of lip balm and jewelry at home, so I bought a few boxes of ordinary beauty cream, ten taels of silver per can.
Qiu Niang asked someone to bring her some red date tea that was specially chilled with ice cubes, which was very thoughtful.
After all, she is the big boss behind the scenes, and everything has to be done according to her first. This is a necessary condition for a qualified employee.
"Have you chosen it already?" Su Jing was a little confused when he saw how fast she was.
Isn’t it said that girls are very picky when choosing things, especially those for themselves, they are the most serious. Why is their Wanwan so casual?
In fact, she can use the best-selling products in the store at any time as long as she wants, so she is rather perfunctory and came here just to inspect it.
"Okay, I've chosen it." Su Wan nodded seriously.
"Then I'll go pay the bill." Su Jing took the things in his hand and was about to go to the counter, but was stopped by Su Yi.
"Brother, let me do it. Save the money you have for your trip to Xuanhe and spend it sparingly. I have a painting studio that can earn me money. Let me do it."
"No, I'm the eldest brother. It's rare for me to go out with Wanwan to buy something. How can I let you pay the bill? It's not right."
The two brothers started arguing, each wanting to pay.
"Let me do it!"
"Let me do it. I'm your eldest brother, so it's only right that I pay the bill."
Su Wan looked at this, then looked at that, and finally she spoke out to stop him:
"Okay, Big Brother, Fifth Brother, stop arguing. How about you each take half?"
At times like this, we can only treat everyone equally so that no one has any objections.
Su Jing and Su Yi looked at each other and thought it was feasible. They each took two boxes of products and went to pay.
Su Wan looked at them and smiled helplessly, but at the same time he felt warm and satisfied in his heart.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be spoiled by your family.
While Su Jing and the others were away, Qiu Niang found a chance to move to Su Wan's side, patted her shoulder, and handed her a rectangular mahogany box.
Su Wan turned around and saw Qiu Niang. He looked around and asked her what was wrong.
"This is what the young master specifically ordered. From the latest batch of pearls, I picked out the best quality ones to make you a necklace."
Jiang Yu specially asked someone to make a pearl necklace for her. Su Wan couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she thought of the name.
She took the wooden box with a blushing face and stuffed it into her wide sleeve. There was a secret pocket sewn inside for storing things.
Su Wan was glad that the clothes she was wearing today had big hidden pockets, otherwise it wouldn't have fit her.
"Thank him for me." Su Wan looked at the backs of Su Jing and Su Yi as they queued up to pay the bill, and whispered to Qiu Niang like a thief.
Seeing her like this, Qiu Niang couldn't help but find her cute, so she covered her mouth and laughed.
As expected, girls at this age are the brightest and cutest. Not to mention the young master, she likes him very much.
"You should wait until he comes back and tell him in person. I'm going to be busy now."
Qiu Niang joked in a teasing tone, patted her shoulder lightly, and turned to greet the guests.
Su Wan's face flushed, her cheeks slightly red, and the sweetness in her heart rose sharply.
"What are you laughing at? Your face is so red?" When Su Jing came back, he found his sister standing there alone, laughing foolishly.
"No, I just feel happy. Happy that my brothers spoil me so much." Su Wan smiled even more, her dimples sunken deeper, and even her eyes curved with laughter.
