"How can this be?" Rong Mu quickly refused: "The reason Sheng Bao asked me to sell rouge and powder myself is to train my sales skills, to let me understand what kind of customers rouge and powder are, so that I will know what it's like to open a rouge and powder shop in the future."
“Young Master Rong Mu, you have a wonderful younger sister! But do you even know how to sell cosmetics?” Su Wenlan said, “You’ve never handled cosmetics before, so you probably don’t know how they’re used. You also don’t know that there are many types of cosmetics, including face powder, lip rouge, face powder, face cream, scented powder, and face cream. There are also soap, bath powder, orchid cream, cardamom, and so on. If someone asks you about them, you won’t know how to answer. How will they buy your cosmetics then? So, Young Master Rong Mu, why don’t you give me your cosmetics first, and I’ll help you sell them?”
"No!" Rong Mu said firmly, "Although what Miss Su said is true, I do not know much about rouge and powder, but I can learn about it slowly, and one day I will understand everything! But I cannot ruin my sister's feelings. Although Miss Su can help me sell rouge and powder, and I can quickly turn it into money."
But if I always ask Miss Su to help me sell the items I encounter from women or girls, then I will never understand the women's community and I will never be able to make money from them! Although saying this may make Miss Su or other girls unhappy, I am a businessman, and I cannot be timid and afraid to take the initiative because of my ignorance or fear!
So I appreciate Miss Su's kindness, and I understand that she just wants to help me sell this box of rouge and powder quickly, but I must stick to my principles!
Su Wenlan: "...You're right! Your idea is also correct. When my brother was doing business, he built it up little by little on his own. If he had relied entirely on the help of others, he would never have achieved such great success!"
But she was still a little sad because Rong Mu refused her help.
"Then, Miss Rong Sheng, can you tell me how much this set of rouge and face powder costs?" Su Wenlan asked.
Rong Mu said, "One hundred taels of silver!"
"One hundred taels?" Su Wenlan was startled. If this were in the capital, she wouldn't say anything about rouge and face powder selling for this price, but this wasn't the capital, but a small county town. How could anyone be willing to spend one hundred taels of silver to buy a set of rouge and face powder?!
Apart from wealthy families, no, even wealthy families might not be willing to buy it!
“Rong Mu, do you know that nobody is willing to buy rouge and powder for one hundred taels of silver? The price is just too high!” Su Wenlan spoke the truth: “I know that this set of rouge and powder was made by Miss Rong Sheng. Everyone believes in Miss Rong Sheng’s medical skills and is willing to let Miss Rong Sheng treat their illnesses, but the rouge and powder…”
"It's alright! I won't force you! But I won't lower the price just because no one is selling!" Rong Mu knew that Rong Sheng would have trouble selling the moment she set the price, but how would he know if he didn't try?
"Furthermore, this set of rouge and powder is completely different from those on the market because it is made entirely of medicinal herbs! My sister is a doctor and also a young woman, so she understands very well how important a woman's face is. She would never use inferior medicinal herbs; it is all made from expensive and potent herbs! Therefore, one hundred taels of silver is absolutely worth it!"
Made from medicinal herbs? Suitable for sensitive skin?
Upon hearing those two words, Su Wenlan's dark eyes lit up: "I know who you should sell it to! Trust me, only she in Wenhong County will buy it! If she buys it, it won't affect her skin, and the effect will be perfect and exquisite, making her feel very proud in public. So she'll be willing to buy it no matter how much it costs."
More importantly, his family was far from short of money, so one hundred taels of silver meant nothing to her. "If Young Master Rong Mu trusts me, I can take you to her right now and sell her the rouge and powder made by Miss Rong Sheng!"
Rong Mu was intrigued: "Shall we go now?"
"Don't worry, we won't bother them. That person is different from ordinary people like us. You'll see when you meet them!" Su Wenlan said.
Rong Mu: "Miss Su, after you drop me off there, why don't you come back first? It's getting dark, and I'm worried about you..."
“Young Master Rong Mu, this isn’t how you discard someone after they’ve served their purpose! Besides, you don’t even know how to use rouge and face powder, do you? Even if your sister tells you how, you’ve never actually tried it, so you still won’t know how! That’s why I’m coming with you. I’ll help you with that person’s makeup. I promise, I’m only responsible for taking you there and doing your makeup. I won’t say a word else. I’ll leave everything to you!”
Rong Mu thought for a moment and said, "Then thank you very much, Miss Su."
"You're welcome! Once my face has healed, if Miss Rong Sheng makes a lot more rouge and face powder, I hope Young Master Rong Mu will sell me a set with a discount!"
"no problem!"

Seeing that Rong Mu hadn't spoken, Rong Sheng's gaze fell curiously on him. "Father, eldest brother, there must be something between Third Brother and Miss Su. Look, Third Brother is lost in thought! I wonder what he's thinking about?"
The three of them teased Rong Mu. Rong Mu had been so nervous before, but as they talked, he suddenly stopped moving.
Unexpectedly, he had already drifted off to meet the girl Su in his heart.
That's outrageous!!
Rong Dong'an blinked: "It seems I need to prepare a betrothal gift for the third brother. I have a feeling that day is not far away!"
Rong Sheng: "Father, you really should start preparing, but the betrothal gifts should be generous. Don't mistreat them!"
And then there's my eldest brother. He hasn't even started dating Han Chan yet, but that doesn't mean he's not planning on it. But right now, Rong Sheng can't tell Rong Dong'an about my eldest brother and Han Chan.
Rong Dong'an smiled lovingly: "Shengbao, your father found out about your third brother's affairs, and you're even more enthusiastic than your father! Do you also dislike your brothers? They're all getting old, and they're still not married and have children."
“Father…” Rong Sheng didn’t have that thought. “I just want to see my brothers find their other halves and be happy! Because my brothers are so good to me, I want them to be happy too. At the same time, I also hope that you and I can have a grandchild soon and enjoy the days of being surrounded by grandchildren.”
"Shengbao, you are so thoughtful!" Rong Dong'an was deeply moved.
But these four rascals, who knows when they'll get to hold their grandchildren? Although the third one has shown signs of pregnancy, whether they'll actually get one is another matter.
So Rong Dong'an stood up, came to Rong Mu's side, and slapped Rong Mu's forehead hard: "You brat, your father is talking to you! How dare you ignore your father? What are you thinking?"
Rong Mu was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating. He quickly covered his chest and said, "Dad, you can scare people to death. Can you be a little gentler next time?"
"Sure, then tell your father, what were you thinking just now?"
"I was just thinking about Su..."
