Liu Yun'er stopped coming, and Quan Ge'er also settled down and worked even harder on his training and studies. Xie Wanyun saw this and was quite pleased.
Xie Wanyun had some business at the shop that day, and when he returned to the mansion it was already dark. The stewards were still waiting respectfully in front of the hall. Seeing that the mistress had finally returned, they all breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to report.
After listening to this, Xie Wanyun said, "The weather has been cold lately, so we'll change the evening calls to once every two days. Let's all go home early."
When everyone heard this, they all looked happy and thanked him in unison.
Xie Wanyun waved his hand. "Since I became the housekeeper, you have all been diligent in your work. I am not incapable of making adjustments. As long as you don't have second thoughts, I will not treat you unfairly."
Everyone hurriedly said they didn't dare and thanked them again.
Xie Wanyun returned to Nong Yu Hall and saw Quan Ge'er sitting at his desk, diligently practicing calligraphy. His handwriting was neat and steady, and he already had a calm and majestic aura.
I couldn't help but nod and touched Quan Ge'er's head as a sign of praise.
Quan Ge'er felt embarrassed and said, "Madam, Jin Bai's handwriting is better than mine, and his kung fu is also better than mine. I have to catch up with him, otherwise he will laugh at me again next time."
Xie Wanyun laughed, thinking that it was a good thing for the two children to encourage each other and make progress together. She was right to accept Jin Bai.
"Madam, why hasn't Jinbai come for a while? I haven't seen him for a long time." Quan Ge'er asked.
When Jinbai was around, the two of them always fought, and when he wasn't around, she missed him.
"Jin Bai has something to do at home and can't come for the time being. You should study hard and practice martial arts, otherwise he won't call you senior brother." Xie Wanyun teased him for the first time.
Quan Ge'er's face was full of solemnity. "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely do it."
The Xie family had a very large rouge and powder shop called Huarong, which was not far from Yunjianfang. After Xie Wanyun came out of Yunjianfang, she went to Huarong.
Just after getting off the carriage, a little maid about thirteen or fourteen years old came out of the shop. Because the wind was so strong, she lowered her head and walked very fast, almost bumping into Xie Wanyun.
As soon as he saw Xie Wanyun's demeanor, he knew she must be a noble lady from some family, and he panicked and apologized repeatedly.
Xie Wanyun's gaze stopped at her hands that were tightly holding the makeup box. It was so cold, but she didn't wear a handcuff. Her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and the exposed fingers were red and cracked from the cold.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the little maidservant became even more panicked and said, "Madam, please forgive me. I came to buy rouge for you, but I was afraid of being late, so I left in a hurry and bumped into you. I am really sorry."
Xie Wanyun took out a box of hand grease from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying calmly, "Use this to rub your hands."
The little maid was stunned and forgot to react for a moment.
Yuzhui put the hand oil on her hand and said, "Madam gave it to you, so keep it."
The little girl finally came to her senses and thanked him repeatedly, but Xie Wanyun had already entered the shop.
The weather was cold and there were not many customers. She looked at the various cosmetic boxes on the shelves and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have any skin care oils left in the store?"
The shopkeeper quickly replied, "Yes, but the quantity is small. This thing is cheap, the profit is not high, and the process is complicated, so no one is willing to do it."
Xie Wanyun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "How about this? You contact the supply workshop and ask them to make more skin care oil. I can raise the price by 10%. If you're worried about low profits, you can make some high-end camellia oil. The raw materials will be supplied by the Xie family shop, and we'll sell them to them at cost price."
"Madam, we won't make any profit at all like this, right?"
And there is a high possibility of losing money.
The lady has always been shrewd in business, so why did she make such a decision? The shopkeeper was puzzled.
Yuzhui thought of Xie Wanyun's act of giving oil to the little maid just now, and she had already understood her thoughts, so she explained to the shopkeeper: "Madam, this is a good deed, you just do it."
The shopkeeper suddenly realized what was going on and was filled with admiration for Xie Wanyun. They say businessmen value profit over loyalty, but the lady had made such a huge profit so effortlessly.
Just to make skin care oils affordable for the poor.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I'll do it right away." The shopkeeper bowed and hurried to contact the workshop.
A few crisp applause sounds were heard, and Gan Min, the wife of the Yong'an Marquis, walked into the store with a smile, obviously having heard their conversation just now.
