Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll keep this money in mind. I need to buy something from you, and I'll pay for it all together later."

Hearing this, the fat proprietress nodded quickly.

Then the fat proprietress pulled Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er and went straight to the backyard.

"My lady, there are some private collections of fine goods in this backyard. Many of them were transported from the Western Regions, crossing mountains and ridges without passing through any passes. The prices are extremely cheap!"

"I'm not going to tell anyone else yet. I was originally planning to send a batch of goods to the palace, but I heard that things are not going well in the palace recently and there have been some minor accidents, so I'm going to keep them in my backyard for the time being."

"If you are interested, you can buy it at will. I can give you the cheapest price."

Hearing these words made Qian Ruoyu feel even more surprised.

In particular, the fat proprietress’s first sentence made it very clear that these rouge and powder did not go through the checkpoints, but bypassed various checkpoints and did not have to pay various taxes. The price must be many times cheaper than that on the market!

Moreover, this fat proprietress still remembered me and specially brought me to this backyard. She seemed very sensible. It seemed that I really had to patronize this fat proprietress today.

After entering the backyard, she opened a small warehouse and saw that it was filled with a wide variety of things.

Eyebrow pencils, lipstick paper, eye powder, lip balm... everything was available, and Yan'er beside Qian Ruoyu opened her mouth and eyes wide, as if she was seeing these things for the first time.

The fat proprietress picked up a box of powder and introduced it to Qian Ruoyu with a smile.

"This is eyebrow powder from the Western Regions. It is made from last year's old rice and the unique cherry blossom stone from the Western Regions. Look at the color. It is very delicate. When applied on the eyebrows, it is like a layer of powder. You can't feel its presence at all, but it looks very beautiful. It can even emit a little sparkle in the night."

When Qian Ruoyu heard what the proprietress said, she was already moved!

The proprietress also put the box in Qian Ruoyu's hand. Qian Ruoyu immediately touched it a little bit with her finger and felt it was very delicate and even.

Even the rouge and powder Qian Ruoyu used in her own boudoir could not compare to this!

Qian Ruoyu also gave the box to Yan'er, who touched it slightly and immediately nodded happily.

"Hmm! Madam's powder is indeed extraordinary... I have never seen such high-end stuff, not even in the Second Miss's boudoir!"

Hearing these words made Qian Ruoyu even more satisfied. After all, she had just arrived here and was not very familiar with the rouge, powder and other things here. She could only know the quality from Yan'er's mouth.

Although Qian Ruoyu came here to buy some cheap stuff this time, she naturally didn't mind buying something good for herself. After all, she had earned some money, so how could she not spend it on something good?

So Qian Ruoyu asked.

"This box of powder is quite nice, but how much does it cost?"

The fat lady boss chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "This... Madam, I have to tell you in advance that this thing of mine is the best stuff sent from the Western Regions. It has even been sent to Xifan. It has traveled all the way across the ocean and its sales over there are extremely good!"

"So this thing is a little expensive. I'm not afraid to tell you that the purchase price of this thing is five cents of silver. I usually sell it to others for one or two taels of silver. Although the profit is high, the cost of the whole process is very high..."

Just when the fat proprietress was afraid that Qian Ruoyu would be unwilling, Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.

“How many boxes do you have?”

"Here, I still have three boxes here... The quantity of this stuff is not that large. If you need anything else, I can prepare it for you, but it will take at least three months!"

Qian Ruoyu nodded slowly. The value of this thing was indeed not low, especially since the entire cost would take three months to transport.

After all, it is something from the Western Regions, and it will take more than two months to travel all the way to the capital.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu said.

"One ounce of silver is enough. I won't bargain with you, but you have to give me all three boxes!"

The fat proprietress nodded quickly, and then went on to introduce other things to Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu discovered that the fat proprietress's small warehouse was like a treasure trove. Whether it was rouge, powder, or forehead ornaments, they were all top-notch quality goods. Although the prices were a little bit higher, they were worth the money.

Through Yan'er's words, Qian Ruoyu learned that this thing was a rare tribute even in the imperial palace.

If you buy a small box of this kind of powder in large stores on the main streets, it would cost more than ten taels of silver!

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu’s trip this time was worthwhile!

That was why Qian Ruoyu bought everything he could find without hesitation. After all, it took three months just to purchase these things. Even if he could only sell them for five taels of silver, he would still be making a lot of money!

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu felt happy. After all, this thing bypassed the pass. Apart from trying to send it to the palace, the fat proprietress probably didn't dare to sell it on the street. Otherwise, once she was noticed by the government, she would be imprisoned.

But Qian Ruoyu is not afraid!

As the princess consort, it is only natural for Qian Ruoyu to own these things, and no one would investigate her.

"I want them all!"

When the fat proprietress suddenly heard what Qian Ruoyu said, the box in her hand almost fell to the ground, but Yan'er supported her.

"You...what did you say? You want them all!"

Qian Ruoyu nodded without hesitation.

"Well, I want all of your things, but there is one thing I need to tell you, that is, you are not allowed to tell anyone that I have been to your shop, and you are not allowed to tell anyone that I bought them."

"Otherwise, we will send a few soldiers from the barracks to tear down your store!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, the fat proprietress nodded quickly.

Then he said happily: "Oh, Princess, who do you take me for?"

"I am so happy that you can come and buy my things. How could I possibly tell others about your story? Although my shop is inconspicuous, it also has some good goods. However, I won't tell others casually. Please rest assured about this matter, Princess!"

Although the fat proprietress was a little nervous, she told Qian Ruoyu all her sincerity and said.

"Only you, me, and Yan'er know about this matter. No other person will know about it!"
