Chapter 29 Guests in the Capital
The maid looked worriedly.
The woman called Miss was so attracted by the furnishings in the store that she was reluctant to leave.
She had never seen such a beautiful shop, not even her room could match it.
The lamp hanging above the head is actually in the shape of petals made of colored glass.
Are there such skilled craftsmen in the capital? Why had she never heard of it.
She was interested in buying them, as well as the glazed hairpins and Duobao bracelets on the shelf
The woman in the store also wore special clothes and the color of her lipstick.
Even the best powder shop in the capital cannot make such a color!
"Call your shopkeeper out." The woman said arrogantly.
"That's me." Shen You picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Seeing her looking so calm and composed, the woman felt a little angry.
In the past, no matter which shop she went to, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, everyone would greet her with a bow, nod, and a smile, trying to curry favor with her.
The merchant's status is low, who dares to sit down and entertain her?
The maid understood the look in her young lady's eyes, and immediately cleared her throat and said, "My young lady's surname is Zhao, and she is the daughter of the Hou family."
The Marquis named Zhao is the only one in the capital. After hearing this name, the shopkeeper must have known for sure.
Zhao Wanyi rolled her sleeves, waiting for the shopkeeper to serve tea, and diligently took out the good things for her to choose.
But seeing that the other party didn't change his expression, he just responded with a smile and asked,
"What do you want to buy? You can take down everything on the shelf and look at it."
"You" mean you still let yourself get it? Zhao Wanyi opened her mouth, but finally endured it.
It’s important to ask things first.
"How much does the lipstick you use cost? And this."
Zhao Wanyi asked the maid to take off all the jewelry she liked, saying, "This one looks good, and this one is beautiful too."
Finally, there are two uniquely shaped, small and exquisite bottles.
"What's in this glass bottle?"
"Perfume." Shen You omitted the words "free sample".
Take it over, open the lid and spray it into the air, the fragrant floral fragrance overflows.
Zhao Wanyi opened her eyes wide in surprise, it smelled so good!
"The two scents are different." Shen You gave her another bottle to try.
"Any more? I want them all!"
Such a small bottle wouldn't last long, and she wanted to buy out this unique scent.
"These are the two for now." The formal bottle on the second floor is a limited edition, and Shen You doesn't want to take it out.
Unless you add money.
Zhao Wanyi nodded reservedly, "If there are new ones in the future, send them directly to the Hou Mansion. Your reward will not be missed."
"Send these things, lipstick, and lamps like the one in your shop."
Shen You frowned, "Our store's rules do not allow delivery. The business here is all about payment and delivery."
"What's the matter with you? I'll give it to you when I ask you to. There are no rules. Our lady likes the things in your shop. It's your blessing." The maid scolded her harshly.
When shopping for wealthy people, things are delivered to their doorstep for selection. It's too late to be happy to be chosen from a store that regularly delivers things.
If you offend people like them, you won't be able to do business in the capital!
The shopkeeper's attitude is that he doesn't know what is good and what is evil.
Shen You held her chin and said lazily, "The rules in my store are, if you can accept it, buy it. If you can't accept it, turn left when you go out."
Zhao Wanyi took two deep breaths. According to her temperament, she should throw down the banknote and smash the things, and wait for the other party to go to the house to apologize to her.
But looking at the things she took down, she couldn't bear to part with them. "Also, our store does not accept cash checks, only gold and silver, or barter."
Hearing Shen You's calm voice, Zhao Wanyi paused in taking the banknote, her face even more unhappy.
Before she could say anything, Shen You started counting money,
"These two bottles of perfume cost 100 taels, and the bracelet and glass hairpin cost 100 taels.
I only have a new lipstick left here. The color is different from the one I used today. I can take it out and show it to you later. If you want it, it’s 100 taels. ”
Things are expensive. A hundred taels of lipstick is a sky-high price.
But this was not the reason why Zhao Wanzhen's expression froze, but who carried so many silver ingots with her when she went out to the temple to offer incense? !
"The lamp can't be sold." Shen You added.
"Why can't it be sold?" Zhao Wanyi asked.
"It's just this one, it's not for sale, and you won't be able to use it if you buy it."
Shen You couldn't explain the principle to the ancients. What if someone didn't believe in evil and put a candle on it, or poured out the lamp oil, and it exploded.
Just when Zhao Wanyi ordered the maid to go out to find the entourage and quickly exchange the money, Shen You had already gone upstairs to take down the new lipstick.
I opened the carton and demonstrated how to use it.
As soon as Zhao Wanyi saw the beautiful lipstick shell in front of her and the paste inside, she fell in love with it.
If she could use the lipstick and perfume here, no one could outshine her at the banquet held for the prince's return to Beijing.
"You can't try this unless you are sure you want it." Shen You stopped her movement.
Zhao Wanyi smiled, "Do you think I can't afford it?"
"That's not true, it's just that the lipstick is used on the lips, and the girl doesn't want what she bought to be touched by others." Shen You replied.
"When will the color you used be available? Are there other colors?" Zhao Wanyi refused to give up.
"Yes."
Shen You took out the three lipsticks that he had just taken together and said, "These colors are available, but they will be available in three days."
"The color I'm using now is relatively rare. If you want it, I can exchange it for this hairpin on your head."
Limited popular models are not easy to buy in counters now, and the online flagship store is also out of stock, so you can only increase the price and find a purchasing agent.
So it makes sense for her to be more expensive.
Zhao Wanyi's expression changed a bit, "I can trade it with you for another face, or pay twice the price."
If you dare to ask her for palace belongings, she thinks this woman will die.
Shen You: "Then find a craftsman who can make this kind of hairpin, ask him to use the same craftsmanship to make a simple style for me, and then tell me how to make it."
"Okay." Zhao Wanyi nodded, "But you have to promise me that you can't sell this color to others, and you can't use it again."
"I don't have to sell it to others, but if you ask me not to use it, that won't do."
As a modern person, Shen You couldn't get used to the superiority of the ancient privileged class towards her.
Zhao Wanyi was also very angry and really wanted these things, so she had no choice but to compromise first.
The maid came over with the newly exchanged money, her expression was a little weird, she looked at Shen You and didn't dare to say anything in the end.
After the transaction was completed and she left the shop, Zhao Wanyi glanced at the chandelier out of the corner of her eye, still feeling blocked.
This woman actually said she wouldn't sell something that the Marquis wanted to buy?
But she also saw that this woman was not afraid of offending the Hou family. Could there be someone behind her?
But even so, how could a businesswoman who was so publicized be worthy of using the same thing as her!
A trace of disgust flashed in Zhao Wanyi's eyes, and when she saw the Duobao bracelet she just put on, she couldn't help but marvel.
I don’t know what kind of rope is used, but it can shrink and won’t fall off when worn in my hand.
The stuff in the store is really good.
If only I could have everything in my own hands.
