Chapter 161 Spreading Rumors
"Since, Princess, thinks it's good, I'll give you some more! To be honest with you, Princess, this menstrual belt is our latest new product. Looking across the entire Daxia, we're the only one that has it." Xu Qingyan stepped forward and explained with a smile.
When Gu Yina heard this, her eyes lit up and she asked curiously, "So, this is something that was just invented? Wow! Who invented it? How can it be so powerful? This is the first time I've used such a comfortable menstrual belt in my life. Now I feel very comfortable and it's convenient for me to walk. Hehe... Princess, can you tell me where you bought it? I'll use this from now on!"
After Xu Qingyan heard this, she was overjoyed. This Gu Yina is really a living signboard! After she said this, many women in the store were attracted. The ladies who originally disliked the gift box as unlucky suddenly stopped talking and quietly took it.
Since this is the shop of the Crown Prince's wife, and the princess in front of them has used it herself and said it is good, what else can they dislike? Anyway, it is free, they take it back and try it! You know, when women have their period every month, it is the most uncomfortable. They often feel dirty and dare not move when walking or sleeping. If this is really useful, then it really solves a big problem for them.
So, at the end of the day, all the menstrual belts that Xu Qingyan brought to the store were given away.
In the following days, Xu Qingyan's clothing store was still doing a booming business, not because the clothes were so popular, but because some women were very happy after using the sanitary napkins they had given away, just like Gu Yina. So, they came to the clothing store again and wanted to buy the sanitary napkins separately.
Xu Qingyan naturally did not give up on this business. She began to set prices for sanitary napkins and sold them as additional products in all the clothing stores and silk shops under her control.
In just a few days, the revenue from the sanitary napkins almost caught up with that from the ready-made clothes. Xu Qingyan made a lot of money in the past few days.
On the other side, Xu Qingyue was originally waiting to see Xu Qingyan make a fool of herself. She sent someone to investigate, but found that not only did she not hear the unpleasant words she wanted to hear, but instead she heard that Xu Qingyan made a lot of money and happily shared the dividends with Pei Jingye.
"Bah! How can she make money by doing such shameless things? God is so blind. Why does he bless her so much?" Xu Qingyue was sitting in the room. After hearing the report from the maid, she couldn't help but look distorted with jealousy.
On the one hand, she was angry that Xu Qingyan not only sold sanitary napkins openly without being criticized, but on the other hand, she was jealous that she made so much money.
You know, Pei Jingye asked her to do this business in the first place! If she hadn't refused, she should have made a share of the money now!
"Crown Princess, doesn't the young master say anything about her doing this kind of business? Aunt, there is really no one outside who talks about how shameless the Crown Princess is. Instead, many women go to her clothing shop. On the surface, they appear to be going to the clothing shop, but everyone knows that they are going to buy those things called sanitary napkins. Even some maids in our house went to buy them." The maid Fang Dong also said unconvincedly.
After hearing this, Xu Qingyue became even angrier. She said, "The young master really dotes on her too much and supports her without any reason. But the wife of the Duke doesn't care? I don't believe that mother will ignore her after knowing all this. And if it's those respectable ladies and young ladies, I don't believe they won't talk about it!" Xu Qingyue said with a gloomy face.
After a few days, Xu Qingyan found that the sanitary napkin business was doing well. Its reputation gradually spread among women's circles and it had a group of regular customers.
Xu Qingyan quietly converted her clothing store into a sanitary napkin store. This was the first women's sanitary napkin store in Daxia.
After Xu Qingyue learned about Xu Qingyan's bold move, she immediately had bad intentions. She paid people to go out and talk about Xu Qingyan's behavior everywhere, saying a lot of unpleasant things. For a while, although Xu Qingyan's business was good, her reputation was still affected by these rumors.
On this day, Xu Qingyan was preparing to introduce sanitary napkins to her mother-in-law, the Lady of the Duke, when she passed by the garden and heard some maids talking about
"You know, people outside are saying that our Crown Prince's Consort is shameless and has brought disgrace upon women by actually opening a shop openly to sell women's filthy things."
"Yes! Things like menstrual belts, who doesn't do it secretly on weekdays? The Crown Prince's Consort actually opened such a big store. I don't know how those women dared to go there."
"Hey! Have you ever used that thing? Why is it so popular now? Although I heard that the Crown Prince's Concubine has a bad reputation, the business in her store is very good."
"I haven't used it yet. I'm too embarrassed to buy that thing. If someone saw it, it would be so embarrassing!"
“Princess, please let me teach those gossiping servants a lesson! They even dare to talk about their master.” At this time, Danyan, the maid behind Xu Qingyan, couldn't help but said angrily.
Xu Qingyan waved her hand to stop her. Her eyes moved and she said, "No need! Their words reminded me. Go and tell the store staff to send a batch of sanitary napkins over. I want to give one to every woman in our house for free."
Most of the people who can go to the shops are ladies, daughters, or good citizens, but there are still many women in Daxia, like the maids in the Duke's Mansion, especially those low-level maids who have signed death contracts, who rarely go out to spend money. If you want to shut them up, you still have to open up their consumption.
When Xu Qingyan went to see the Duke's wife, she had already heard the discussions of the maids in the mansion. After Pei Jinyu's explanation, she was not angry, but just a little worried.
"Jinyu, you said your sister-in-law's things are useful. Your mother has no doubt about this. But doing this will inevitably cause people to talk about it, and I'm afraid it will affect your reputation in the future." The Duke's wife was sitting in the room, talking to Pei Jinyu with a worried look on her face.
Xu Qingyan was at the door and just happened to hear this. She walked in directly, bowed and greeted, "Mother, I just came to talk to you about this today. You don't have to worry too much. The impact on your reputation is only temporary. Why don't you try this thing first? Your daughter-in-law plans to sell this thing to all the women in Daxia. By then, it will be common and I believe no one will say anything. Now people will say it because many people have not used it. When this thing becomes popular, then the shops selling this in the capital will naturally do well, and everything will be solved."
After saying that, Xu Qingyan asked the maid behind her to take out a box of packaged sanitary napkins and hand it to the wife of the Duke.
Suddenly, when the Duke's wife saw this thing, her face subconsciously turned red with shame and she said, "Qingyan, is this thing really as you said?"
