Chapter 097 Chapter 97

I have to say, his trick really works.

The perfume fell to the ground, and the fragrance burst out instantly, lingering at the door of the store for a long time.

Ji Qingyue noticed that pedestrians stopped to look here, as if trying to identify where the fragrance came from.

Not long after, a lady supported by a maid walked in tentatively, stood at the door, closed her eyes, and relaxed her brows: "What a good smell, what is this smell?"

Ji Qingyue, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly led her to the shelf.

"These are the new perfumes of our store, with a long lasting fragrance. They are all essences extracted from flowers, fruits and trees, and have the effect of refreshing the mind." After saying that, he took a pink porcelain bottle down and opened the cork.

"Madam, please look, this bottle is the scent of pink magnolia, which is subtle, elegant and generous, and very suitable for your temperament."

After saying this, the lady really became interested, took out a handkerchief, dipped a little perfume, and put it under her nose to smell.

"It's really good, much cleaner and purer than the smell of incense."

Ji Qingyue smiled with a crooked eye: "Madam, do you want to buy a bottle to try? Our store is newly opened, and we are offering 20% ​​off."

After sending the lady away with a lot of bags, Ji Qingyue couldn't help clapping his hands, and the depression between his eyebrows disappeared.

"Finally opened!"

The lady was generous and bought a bottle of everything. Cao Ge'er said as he was replenishing the goods: "There are so many rich people in the capital. They spend ten taels of silver without blinking an eye. Just now I thought it was a pity that my husband broke a bottle, but now it seems worth it."

Ji Qingyue smiled and said: "I hope that lady will promote our products more."

In the afternoon, the fragrance in the shop attracted several more people. Perfume was expensive, and the profit was very good at the end of the day.

In a large house with five entrances in the center of the capital, the housekeeper came to greet the lady before she even reached the door.

"Madam! You are not well yet, how can you go out? If your condition worsens, the master will be very sad!"

A smile flashed in the eyes of the lady: "It's okay, I just took a walk in the front street. The weather is very good today."

Back in the yard, the maid put several colorful porcelain bottles on the table.

Seeing that the lady was selecting carefully with a serious look, the maid hesitated: "Madam, you should be more careful with these perfumes. After all, they are new and I don't know if they are reliable."

At this time, the servant brought up a big bowl.

The lady smiled bitterly: "I am almost drowned in this medicine juice. The incense is too strong and my head is dizzy. Only this perfume smells refreshing."

After that, she picked up the medicine bowl and drank the dark medicine juice in one breath.

The maid pursed her lips distressedly, but didn't say anything else.

After drinking the medicine, the lady frowned and sprayed some perfume on herself. Finally, she could no longer smell the pungent smell of the medicine, and she felt better.

"Sister!" A girl in a goose yellow gauze skirt jumped into the yard, and the maid behind her could hardly catch up.

The lady raised her lips: "How old are you and still so reckless." She scolded, but there was no blame in her eyes.

"Huh? It smells so good!" The little girl walked around her like a puppy, pouting her nose.

The lady pointed to the table and said, "I just bought some perfume today. It smells really good."

The girl suddenly became interested. She pressed it and

smelled it. Her eyes became brighter and brighter. "It smells really good! The birthday party of Prince Han is coming soon. I'm just worried about not being able to find the right incense." The lady rubbed her nose and said, "I can give you the perfume, but if you want Prince Han to like it, you have to change your impetuous temper."

The girl blushed and stammered, "Who said I like him! I just want to show off to my sisters! I won't tell you anymore!"

The lady watched him run away, smiled and shook her head.

The maid came over with tea and snacks, and found that the young lady had disappeared.

The madam took a small piece from the plate and ate: "Don't worry about her, she is still a child, she can do whatever she wants."

Ji Qingyue didn't know what happened to the madam, she stayed in the shop all day long, and the business on this day was pretty good.

Before closing the store, we checked and found that a total of ten bottles were sold, and six bottles were bought by the first lady who came.

Ji Qingyue rubbed her stiff cheeks and sighed: "It's not easy to do business. Just answering customers' questions with a smile is tiring enough."

Brother Cao'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, husband. In a few days, all these things will be handed over to me. I will just sit and collect the money."

"I'm just waiting for your words."

After packing up the things, closing the door of the shop, he realized that it was almost dark.

Ji Qingyue quickened her pace: "It's time for my husband to go home. Fortunately, Aunt Li is here, otherwise there would be no hot water at home. We have to be more careful in the future and go back earlier."

Cao Ge'er agreed.

Fortunately, the shop was not too far from home. When the two hurried home, it was already dark.

In the front yard, Aunt Li was taking a walk with the child.

Ji Qingyue asked: "Is my husband back?"

Aunt Li nodded: "He has been back for half an hour. He is cooking in the kitchen now. The adults insisted on cooking by themselves."

After that, she carefully glanced at Ji Qingyue's face. Fortunately, Ji Qingyue did not show any displeasure. She touched Xue Bao's little face and went straight to the kitchen.

Aunt Li was surprised and said, "Your Excellency is the top scholar. You just wanted to enter the kitchen, which scared me. How come my husband doesn't seem surprised at all?"

Cao Ge'er covered his mouth and laughed, "You'll see in the future. Our Master is very good to my husband." Ji

Qingyue came to the kitchen hopping, stood at the door, and poked his head in: "Husband?"

Yuan Ming paused while cutting vegetables, looked at him, and laughed.

"There is still one more meatball soup and we can have dinner."

Ji Qingyue walked to the pot, opened the lid and looked at them one by one.

"Winter bamboo shoots stewed with pork trotters, stir-fried meat with amaranth, winter melon meatball soup..." He stuck to Yuan Ming, his eyes sparkling, "They are all my favorites."

Yuan Ming said, "Today is the opening of the new store. Qingqing has made a huge contribution. Of course, I have to make some of your favorites."

"Okay!"

While cooking the soup, Ji Qingyue did not go out, but sat next to Yuan Ming and told him what happened in the store today. A faint voice came out of the kitchen and fell into the ears of the people outside.

At this time, Aunt Li and Cao Ge'er were each holding a child in their arms and walking slowly in the small garden.

Hearing the sound, the two children giggled.

After settling down in the capital, time passed quickly.

Ji Qingyue's perfume is unique and effective. It soon set off a trend, and the small shop was crowded with people every day.

Cao Ge'er couldn't handle it alone, so Ji Qingyue simply found a man to be a partner and let Cao Ge'er learn to keep accounts.

On the other hand, Yuan Ming also stood firm in the Ministry of Justice, and following Li Qinggang was undoubtedly the right choice. In just two months, he had come into contact with hundreds of cases, big and small, which was more than other people in the Ministry of Justice could do in several years.

It was very busy and tiring, but Yuan Ming did learn a lot, and during this period, he confronted the Prime Minister many times and did not let the other party get any advantage. It can be said that he gained a lot.

At night, Yuan Ming lay on the bed and Ji Qingyue massaged his back.

Yuan Ming grinned: "It hurts, it hurts."

Ji Qingyue frowned: "Why are you so tired? You always feel that something is wrong with you, and you are always fighting. I know you are anxious and want to stand in a high position as soon as possible. But this matter can't be rushed. The officialdom is full of swords and swords, and I am very scared."

Yuan Ming turned over and hugged him in his arms: "I'm sorry, I have ignored your feelings recently."

"I'm scared." Ji Qingyue grabbed his clothes tightly.

"I know. I will be careful and will not put myself in danger." He paused and raised the corner of his mouth: "I have such a capable husband and two lovely children. I will protect myself no matter what."

"Okay."

In order to reassure Ji Qingyue, Yuan Ming temporarily took a break from his busy work, went to work and got off work on time every day, and did not stay in the study in his free time, but played with his husband and children.

On this day, the family of four was rolling on the carpet in the side room, and the housekeeper reported outside that the third place winner had sent the invitation.

The hot-stamped red invitation, the unique symbol of the royal family, the phoenix pattern, made the invitation look noble.

"Brother Lin is getting married, and he and Princess Lan Yi." Yuan Ming said, handing the invitation to Ji Qingyue who was curious.

"I heard that Princess Lan Yi is pretty good." Ji Qingyue said.

Yuan Ming looked at him in surprise.
