Chapter 276 Someone's eyeing their shop
When the other customers in the shop saw that Madam Meng had bought two bottles of anti-aging cream, they all rushed to try it as well.
Du Wanchun patiently tried it on them all.
Some women found 500 coins too expensive and opted for the 50-coin skin cream instead.
Some wealthy families followed Madam Meng's example and bought anti-aging cream.
Before long, the rouge shop had sold half of its perfume cream, and some rouge was also sold.
These women had used it for several months and experienced remarkable results, so word quickly spread that several neighboring counties heard that Cheng'an County sold this balm.
Ten days or half a month later, more people came to the rouge shop to buy perfume again.
Zhang Qiuhe hasn't been going to the incense shop these days; she's been spending all her time at the rouge shop.
Du Wanchun would also come every three days. Perhaps because business was so good, people from several rouge shops in the neighboring county secretly came to check on the rouge shops.
They whispered outside the door, "What kind of good stuff does the Zhou family sell? So many people are buying it?"
"I heard that using their products can preserve youth; women in their thirties who use them can look ten years younger."
"real?"
"Yes, that's what the ladies who used to buy rouge from my shop said."
They hid to the side, speaking very softly, but Du Wanchun still managed to see them.
Du Wanchun slowly walked to their side and said, "Would you like to come in and have a look, gentlemen?"
They were all startled and shook their heads, saying, "No need, no need."
After saying that, they all left.
Zhang Qiuhe walked over and said, "Wanchun, I know those people. They are the owners of a rouge shop in the neighboring county. They must have no good intentions for coming here."
After hearing this, Du Wanchun slowly raised her head to look at their backs, and finally smiled and said, "It's alright, we don't need to worry about them, let's continue with our business."
Zhang Qiuhe glanced in the direction she was looking, then turned and went inside. "Wanchun, I'll be here at the shop. You should go back soon, or Xiaomianmian will miss you."
Recently, Zhang Qiuhe sent her youngest son to school, so she spends more time in the shop than usual.
Du Wanchun smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll be back in a bit."
Zhang Qiuhe asked her, "Wanchun, shouldn't Xiaomianmian and Yi'er be weaned by now?"
Du Wanchun calculated the time, "It should be in the next few days."
Zhang Qiuhe replied softly, "So, Madam Wu and Little Sister Xu have been staying at the Zhou family's house?"
Wu Niangzi and Xu Jia Xiaomei served as wet nurses for the three children. Generally, when it was time to wean them, they could find other places to go.
However, Madam Wu planned to stay, while Little Sister Xu wanted to leave Cheng'an County with her husband.
Du Wanchun replied with a smile, "Madam Wu and her husband have nowhere to go, so they will continue to stay in our Zhou family."
Zhang Qiuhe breathed a sigh of relief. "This is a good thing. With Madam Wu around, you and Aunt Zhou will have an easier time."
Du Wanchun and the others are not short of money. If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely buy some maids and servants to keep in the mansion, but Aunt Zhou is unwilling.
She was afraid that these maids and servants were unreliable, so she preferred to do many things at home herself.
Especially when it comes to taking care of the children, Aunt Zhou and Granny Zhuang mostly do it themselves, only occasionally letting wet nurses feed them.
Sure enough, when Du Wanchun returned from Cheng'an County, Aunt Zhou was walking in the yard with Xiao Mianmian in her hand.
Now, Xiao Mianmian is almost one year old and can walk a short distance with the help of adults.
However, the two older brothers were less capable and could only stand up by holding onto something.
When Aunt Zhou saw Du Wanchun return, she held the little baby in her arms, looked up at the door, and smiled, "Look, your mother is back!"
