"This child is so adorable!" said Mrs. Zhang.
At this moment, the mother-in-law and her daughters-in-law were already sitting in recliners.
She continued
"With such a good temperament, this kind of child is destined for great things."
"Thank you for your kind words, Madam. We don't expect her to achieve anything great; we just hope she can stay safe and sound."
This was the third time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had visited the brothel.
But this was He Qingzhu's first time here.
The young lady opened her eyes and looked around Chunying's boudoir.
She said
"Little sister, your room is even better than mine."
Chunying smiled and said
"How can it compare to a girl's home? It's just a place to stay."
She kept working as she spoke, the only one left to apply the plum blossom ointment was He Qingzhu.
The cool cream sent a shiver down my spine when it touched my skin.
Then a pair of delicate hands touched him.
He Qingzhu continued
"My sister's hands are slippery too, even slipperier than mine!"
These words made the old lady, who was applying a face mask, smile.
Huo Xiaolong, who was standing next to him, also started laughing.
"Qingzhu, if you were a man, Chunying would have kicked you out long ago."
Madam Zhang also conforms to the Dao
"That's right, what are you saying? You're just like a lecher!"
After a while, Ping'er helped the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meditate. The three of them looked at themselves in the mirror for a long time, and the effect was immediate.
The stinging pain on Madam Zhang's face was no longer noticeable.
Mrs. Zhang's acne has also disappeared.
He Xiaoniangzi's face, which had been tanned by the sun in the rural fields, had become a bit fairer.
"Oh dear, look at my old face! It gets so red and itchy every winter, but after only two visits, it's almost completely healed today."
"That's right. It's only because Chunying doesn't keep this plum blossom ointment to herself. If I had it, I wouldn't share it with anyone else."
Chunying smiled but didn't reply.
He Qingzhu was truly tempted by the plum blossom ointment.
"Sister, is it really true that this plum blossom ointment cannot be sold?"
Chunying shook her head
"We really can't sell them; we can only prepare and use them on the same day."
He Qingzhu frowned and said
"If we could get this business, the brothel would definitely make a fortune."
But it's not good to make things difficult for them, is it? Plum blossom ointment can't be kept overnight, which means it can't be transported elsewhere; it can only be used in brothels.
Huo Xiaolong, who was reassembling the wooden chariot beside her, noticed her little scheme.
Who doesn't want to get rich? Women and children always have the highest spending power, no matter the time.
"It's not that you can't leave it on overnight, but my mom says that face creams that can be left on overnight aren't as effective as this one!" the little dumpling said.
"How much of the effect will remain? Will it be three-tenths?" He Qingzhu asked hurriedly.
The little dumpling shook its head and replied
"I don't know, I have to go back and ask my mother today."
The miraculous effects of the plum blossom ointment all lie in her magical spring water. The amount of magical spring water used in the products sold is determined by the two mothers.
Upon hearing this, He Qingzhu walked over to the little girl, hugged her, and said...
"After you go back and ask your mother, be sure to send someone to the Zhang residence to tell your aunt!"
She casually took a pearl from her bosom and continued speaking.
"Here you go! You must ask for your aunt!"
As He Xiaoniangzi was fooling the child, Madam Zhang felt that her younger sister's skin was so thick it could be used to plaster the city wall.
If the brothel wanted to do this kind of business, the Zhang family would undoubtedly be the best choice, but this way of fooling children is really not something a lady of a respectable family would do.
"Qingzhu, you mustn't do that! Where have you learned all the rules?"
He Qingzhu didn't have any particular favorite things growing up. She was content with enough clothes and jewelry, and she was bad at everything, including playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She preferred farming to embroidery and sewing. The only thing she liked was keeping accounts.
Every month when her mother checked the accounts, He Xiaoniangzi would watch from the side. The feeling that there was more money in the accounts than the previous month gave her the highest level of satisfaction.
If she could partner with Fengyuelou on the face cream business, Fengyuelou would only need to provide the formula, and she could handle the rest. She guaranteed that within ten days, Fengyuelou's value would quadruple.
"Okay, I'll ask around for you."
Huo Xiaolong: Who doesn't know how to act like a child? I just said I'd ask for you, but I didn't say I'd definitely do the business for you, did I?
Mrs. Zhang watched her younger sister playing with the little dumpling.
I couldn't help but chat with Chunying about everyday things.
"Sister, I heard from my husband that if a girl at your brothel lights up a lot of lamps, she can order food the next day?"
The courtesan smiled, not giving her a direct answer.
Some women use this method to seduce men. If you tell the truth, aren't you ruining their livelihood?
"I accept customers based on my own preference; whatever I want to eat, my mom will make it for me."
Madam Zhang nodded.
"That's good. If you're like they say, just ask us. At least we can make sure you can eat whatever you want every day."
The old lady's words were not an exaggeration. The border town's caravan trade was now under her son's management. As long as her son gave even the slightest hint, the merchants would come to her door to curry favor without the Zhang family having to spend any money.
"Thank you for your concern, ladies. I'm doing very well in the building now."
"Well, sister, if I may be so polite, we're eating upstairs, and you're keeping us company, so how are we going to pay for this plum blossom ointment?"
This question stumped Chunying. If the plum blossom ointment was something she used herself, it wouldn't be a problem to give it to the two ladies. But since it contained Long'er's elixir, it wouldn't be right to give it to them for free.
Huo Xiaolong looked at his stunned sister.
This is in the brothel!
The guest's words must not fall to the ground.
"Ten taels per time, but if you pay one hundred taels at once, we'll give you two free times."
