The maid looked at the people outside with a look of panic on her face. They were surrounded by several layers of people inside and outside, shouting at the shop without any manners, saying that they wanted free samples or something like that. In short, it was extremely scary.
This, this, there are too many people.
What if some blind person bumps into the lady?
The maid quickly lowered the curtain, fearing that Miss Lu would be secretly observed by outsiders: "Miss, there are too many people around Changshoupu, and they are all foreign men who speak dirty words."
"You are of noble status, so you can't go in person. If someone sees you entering the longevity shop, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself."
"Miss, please wait for me in the carriage. I will go buy you a longevity cake."
Miss Lu put on the curtain, and the long white veil covered her pretty face.
She ignored the maid's attempts to stop her and stood up to get off the carriage: "I'll go there myself."
Seeing this, the maid's face was filled with worry and hesitation, but no matter how worried she was, she didn't dare to stop Miss Lu. She could only follow behind her and weakly persuade her, "Miss, you can't do that."
"There are too many people outside. What if someone bumps into you?"
"Miss--"
Before he could finish his words, Miss Lu glanced at him with a cold and affirmative look.
The maid's words were stuck in her mouth, and she didn't dare to continue to persuade her. She could only hurriedly help Miss Lu out of the carriage with a bitter face.
The shouting people around suddenly fell silent.
Everyone saw the luxurious carriage and Miss Lu wearing the finest silk and brocade. The pearls and hairpins on her hair were something they would never be able to touch in their lifetime.
"Who is this person? He looks like someone powerful."
"She's coming. Let's make way. It's obvious she's not from a commoner family. Look at the fabric she's wearing. I saw it once in a cloth shop. I heard it could be sold for dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver."
"hiss--"
"Make way, make way."
These refugees who gathered together dared to cause trouble at the gate of Changshoupu, which meant they were sure that Shen Wei would not dare to make a big fuss.
After all, Chen Wei had opened a shop before, and they had taken advantage of him a lot, but in the end he didn't hold them accountable.
Once it happens, there will be a second time.
Their ambitions and desires have been nurtured time and time again. They dare not go to other places to eat for free because they know that other shops will not agree and may even drive them away.
But Chen Wei is different!
Chen Wei had done this kind of free tasting thing before, and now that he has opened a shop, how could they not be jealous?
Now we see Miss Lu, who has an extraordinary status, appear.
The noisy crowd all seemed to be dumb and very tactfully shut their mouths.
They also made way for Miss Lu a one-meter-wide path, because they knew that this young lady was different from Chen Wei and was likely to use her power to bully others.
Miss Lu suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, faced the gazes of all the people, and walked quickly into the store: "Is Miss Shen here?"
"The Changshou Shop opened today, and I came here to congratulate you."
Miss Lu walked into the store.
Seeing that there was no customer in the store...I guess so. Such a big incident happened in the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, Chen Wei has a bad reputation in the capital, and the longevity cake is positioned in the high-class market.
In this situation, how can guests come to the door?
"Welcome, distinguished guest. Is there anything I can help you with?" When Panxi saw someone coming, joy and excitement flashed in his eyes, and he immediately greeted him according to the hospitality etiquette of the Chenwei Sect.
Hearing this greeting, Miss Lu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then looking at Panxi's way of greeting, she felt it was extremely special.
It took her a second to react, and she continued, "The shop is opening today. I want all the longevity cakes you made. Please pack them up for me."
"Ah? You want...this..." Pan Xi immediately looked at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei walked over and gave Miss Lu a grateful smile: "Miss Lu, you are welcome to come to the shop today to support us. However, the longevity cakes are limited in quantity, and each person can only purchase two."
Miss Lu was stunned and slowly looked at Chen Wei through the curtain.
Limit, quantity?
Only two per person?
Why?
Is there any way she can sell it?
Miss Lu didn't know where to start asking for a moment.
Instead, the maid beside her murmured speechlessly: "Miss Shen, looking at the situation at your door today, I guess no one will come to buy except our young lady."
"If you can reduce the losses, please do so. My lady means well and wants to help you."
