Chapter 373 374. Mutual Benefit
Jin Qianqian grabbed Li Cuicui's hand, patted it to comfort her, and said with a smile, "Mom, this is the extremely wealthy Madam Niu, she doesn't need these."
"This..." Li Cuicui was still a little nervous and didn't dare to agree.
Niu Yu covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss.
I'll go to Madam Gu's shop later, maybe I can get a bargain."
Jin Qianqian nodded at her with a smile, "Then I have to take more later, otherwise I will lose a lot."
Niu Yu led them into the store with a smile, "Because of what you said, I have to take a little more.
You guys came at the right time today. A new batch of brocade flowers just arrived. I asked someone to put them out for you to choose first."
Although they are new, everyone knows that new flowers have arrived in the palace, and only the patterns from the previous batch can be put on display for sale. Even so, it is enough to make everyone rush to buy them.
"Why is it such a coincidence today? I meet you here so early in the morning." Jin Qianqian saw the old lady was attracted by the fancy things and chatted with her while picking.
"What a coincidence! I come out for two days every month to check on my own shop. I didn't expect to run into you today."
Seeing that there was no one around, Niu Yu lowered her voice and asked, "Did the Huang family's granddaughter-in-law's shop really offend you?"
As expected of a girl from an imperial merchant family, she gets news quickly.
"Why? Want to plead for them?"
Niu Yu shook her head quickly. "That's not the case. I'm just a little curious. How did you two meet?"
How come these two people, who are supposed to have nothing in common, suddenly become so incompatible?
Jin Qianqian would not help others cover up, "What do you think they are thinking? Our family has no grudges against them, but they are trying their best to plot against my master because of her widowed concubine sister.
I wonder where the women in their house learned all the knowledge about appearance and morality from? They just use some shady tricks. "
Niu Yu looked at Jin Qianqian with some sympathy, "You'd better be careful. The old lady of the Huang Mansion is not someone you can easily mess with. If you say these things now, there will probably be some tricks up your sleeve."
Jin Qianqian sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I can't just stand there and get beaten."
Niu Yushi, "...It's better not to be too hard-headed. Some people are born not to reason with you."
Jin Qianqian knew that given their shallow friendship, it was very rare for the other party to give such a suggestion.
Li Cuicui also counted the flowers by head at this time, "I have chosen so many without realizing it, please ask the shopkeeper to calculate how much silver it is."
The shopkeeper saw the two ladies still chatting here and said wait a moment. Just as he was about to go over to ask, Niu Yu looked up at him and said, "Madam Gu, put all these on my account. Please find a better box to help pack them."
Li Cuicui wanted to say something, but Jin Qianqian shook her head at her, saying that it would be pretentious to say anything more now.
"It just so happens that my subordinates have made some flower soaps recently. They are great for washing your face. I'll ask them to send some to you later."
Niu Yu smiled knowingly, "Then I really got the upper hand. You know, every time you release a new product, it's hard to get it."
Jin Qianqian, "What's so difficult about this? Next time, tell me what you want. I can't ask you to queue up with others."
“…”
When they came out of the shop, Li Cuicui secretly pulled Jin Qianqian and asked, "Did I cause you any trouble?"
Jin Qianqian smiled and shook her head, lowering her voice and saying to her, "This is a mutually beneficial thing. With give and take, we can establish a relationship."
Li Cuicui was relieved. "That's good. I don't think there's anything good to buy. How about we go back first?"
She was already so nervous after visiting only the first store. If she continued shopping, she would worry whether she could bear it.
Jin Qianqian refused to comply and helped the old lady to go directly to the next shop.
They were shopping here, while Gu Lehuan was wandering outside the dental shop.
Da Zhuang was just seeing someone off when he saw Gu Lehuan standing in the corner.
"Gu Lehuan," Da Zhuang called out, and when he saw the silk on him, he immediately changed his words, "Master Gu, how come you have time to be here today? Didn't you say you were going back home?"
Gu Lehuan, "I had gone back originally, but this time I came here with my grandmother, so I just came here to take a walk and have a look.
Brother Dazhuang, is the dental business doing well now? "
Da Zhuang, "That's just the way it is. The boss is still in mourning, so we can't discuss a lot of business. Most of it has been taken away by other dental shops. Now we are relying on some old customers to support us."
When Da Zhuang said this, his face was full of distress. If the business didn't pick up, the reputation of this dental clinic would be ruined and it would eventually close down.
Gu Lehuan, "How is the boss?"
Da Zhuang looked back at the yard, walked down the stairs quickly, and pulled Gu Lehuan aside. "It's not good. The boss doesn't dare to go out now, for fear of being plotted against."
Da Zhuang stared at Gu Lehuan, "Master Gu, if you are willing, please help."
They are following their employer now, and although the work is a bit hard and tiring, at least they live with dignity.
If the employer can't hold on, they don't know where they will end up.
The Gu Lehuan in front of him is no longer the temporary worker he used to be. He has relatives who are officials.
Gu Lehuan immediately became anxious, "What on earth is going on?"
It turns out that many people know about this street. Xu Nuo is now a young girl supporting such a big industry, and many people have started to become interested.
Although Xu Nuo had been married off early, she had no one to rely on and was no more than a child walking on the street holding a gold ingot.
As long as the promise is made and you go out, the unmarried children or relatives of the families living in that street will appear on the street.
Those who were a little ashamed and shy just said hello, but those who were eager for success and even made physical advances might have been dragged away if Xu Dongjia had not been with them.
Gu Lehuan clenched his fists, "Can't we report it to the police?"
As soon as he asked it, he felt that his question was a bit stupid. If it really came to that, what was the point of reporting to the police?
Besides, as long as the other party insists that they are in love and no one has been hurt, the government will simply let the case go.
"Is Mr. Xu in there now?"
"Yes, Master Gu, do you want to come in?" If it were someone else, Da Zhuang would definitely not dare to say this. The boss has not been receiving guests during this period, and he has been handling all matters in front.
But it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to deal with a fellow who could not read a single word. What's more, there were some troublemakers who were also looking for trouble.
Gu Lehuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better not go in yet. Please tell Mr. Xu that I will come to visit tomorrow."
Da Zhuang was a little confused, "What about the boss's matter? Can Master Gu help?"
