Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 58
The proportion was not enough to see the anti-theft badge.
It would return to normal after 24 hours. It could be supplemented.
In modern times, she had seen too much of it.
Boys who claimed that they were close and there was no need to avoid arousing suspicion. When she saw the polite Lin Ruhai, Jia Su had a good impression of him.
Therefore, Jia Su stepped into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
She smiled at Lin Ruhai. "Master Lin."
Lin Ruhai pursed his lips.
His smile was gentle.
He raised his hand to let Cui Shu pass the gift he bought to Jia Su's maid, Cui Yan. Then, he said, "I had an appointment with Third Miss last time.
But I couldn't make it.
I'm really sorry.
I specially went to Ruyi Square to choose this jewelry. I hope Third Miss will like it and forgive my rudeness that day. "
Jia Su looked at him with a smile. "What's the big deal?"
But at the same time.
Her hands didn't stop moving.
Putting aside Cui Yan,
She took the wooden box.
She opened it directly.
However, her gaze couldn't help but fall on Cui Shu. In addition to the wooden box containing the jewelry, he was also holding a painting scroll.
She didn't know what it was.
Unlike last time, there were all kinds of jewelry. This time, Lin Ruhai chose a very simple jewelry set.
However, Cui Yan's performance was even more exaggerated than last time.
Jia Su was stunned.
However, she didn't show the doubts in her heart. "It's very beautiful.
I like it very much. "She looked at Lin Ruhai.
She teased, "For the sake of the gift, I'll forgive you."
Lin Ruhai's eyes widened. It took him a long time to recover. "Uh, thank Third Miss for her forgiveness?"
Why did it sound so strange when he said that?
Sure enough, Jia Shu was amused by him. "Why are you so cute?"
Lin Ruhai was at a loss. "Cute?"
He could understand the meaning of the word 'cute', but why couldn't he understand the meaning of these two words when they were connected?
Jia Su laughed again. He was supposed to be an eloquent imperial censor, but why did he seem to be at a loss in front of her?
However, when she thought about how he had said that he had never touched a woman, it was not surprising that he would have such a reaction.
Thinking about it this way, under the circumstances of ancient times, being able to marry Lin Ruhai was at least a little more acceptable than marrying someone else.
Faced with Jia Su's scrutiny, Lin Ruhai looked calm on the surface, but his hands were clenched into fists.
Because he was too nervous, Lin Ruhai held his breath and concentrated. He actually felt that the other sounds in his ears suddenly disappeared, leaving only the thumping of his heart. He couldn't help but worry that he might be sick.
Jia Su saw everything and was once again shocked by Lin Ruhai's performance. A mischievous thought came to her mind. "Young Master Lin, last time I gave you a sachet. Is it enough for you to just give me some jewelry from the shop?"
Selfishly, Jia Su naturally preferred the jewelry from Ruyi Square. After all, it was more valuable.
However, as a young girl who had feelings for her fiancé, after giving him a sachet with special meaning, of course she would want the other party to give her a similar gift in return, rather than some merchandise that could be bought with money.
It just so happened that Mother Lin had reminded Lin Ruhai about this before.
So when he heard Jia Su's words, he immediately panicked. "The copybook I copied for the first time is already missing."
To Lin Ruhai, the only thing that could be compared to Jia Su's first needlework was the copybook he copied for the first time.
After receiving Jia Su's gift that day, he went home and searched through his house, but he didn't find any trace of the copybook.
Lin Ruhai was so anxious that the rims of his eyes turned red.
Just when Jia Su thought that Lin Ruhai would cry from her teasing and was about to say that it was okay, Lin Ruhai took the scroll from the book holder and personally handed it to Jia Su.
Jia Su was stunned. "What is this?"
It couldn't be some famous painting, right?
She was a science monk who had failed in appraising art. She really couldn't appreciate it.
If it really was a famous painting, it would be a waste for it to fall into her hands.
Jia Su didn't want to open it in front of Lin Ruhai. After all, she still wanted to save face. If she exposed her biggest weakness in front of her fiancé before marriage, how could she recover?
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai looked nervous, as if he was worried that she wouldn't like this gift.
Holding the book, he smiled and bowed to Jia Su. "Third Miss, please don't blame me. Although this servant doesn't know what's inside, in order to draw it today, the young master stayed up many nights and wasted a lot of paper."
Jia Su narrowed her eyes. Did she draw it herself?
She pulled open the scroll and immediately widened her eyes.
It couldn't be helped. The painting was of a bright and beautiful young lady with a smile that was more attractive than the flowers.
Cui Yan immediately cried out in surprise, "Miss, this painting is …" You, right?
Jia Su looked at Lin Ruhai. His head was tilted to the side, and his face was slightly red.
-
Time flew by. Soon, it was the opening day of Jia Su's cosmetics shop.
On this day, because her impression of Lin Ruhai had changed, Jia Su decided to go out early and visit the Lin family before going to the shop.
Because the opening day of the shop happened to be a rest day, Jia Su didn't think that Lin Ruhai wouldn't be home.
But as luck would have it, when she arrived at the Lin family, she found out from the gatekeeper that Lin Ruhai had gone out to visit friends.
Jia Su was speechless.
She had miscalculated. Because she rarely went out, she had forgotten that in ancient times, when visiting relatives and friends, they needed to send a visiting card in advance. This was to prevent the guest from making a wasted trip if the host wasn't home.
Lin Ruhai didn't even know that she was opening a shop, and he didn't have any intention of going out on a date with her. When it came to a rest day, his first choice was obviously to go out with his friends.
Since there was no one, Jia Su called Cui Yan back, lowered the curtain, and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the Lin family's door was completely opened at this time.
Startled, Jia Su hurriedly pulled open the curtain.
She saw a gentle and kind middle-aged woman with a scholarly aura walking out of the Lin family surrounded by a group of people.
Before Jia Su could recover from her shock, the other party came to the front of the carriage with the help of a servant girl, "Are you the Jia family's Third Miss?"
Jia Su pursed her lips, feeling a rare bit nervous, "In response to Old Madam, I am indeed ranked third among my sisters."
"Since that's the case, could you let this old woman hitch a ride in the carriage?" The Old Madam's smile was like a spring breeze, not giving people any sense of oppression.
However, Jia Su felt that there was no one more terrifying than her.
"Of course." She couldn't refuse.
If Jia Su hadn't sent someone to inform her, she probably wouldn't have known about this until something happened to Jia Gu or after she walked out of the house.
Thinking of Jia Gu's hopeless expression, Jia Zhi felt irritated, "Liu Xu, prepare the horse."
Soon, Jia Zhi arrived at Xiuguogongfu.
Because Marquis Jinyang's fu had a bit of status in the imperial court, Xiuguogongfu's people didn't dare to make things difficult for her. They directly led her to Jia Gu's room.
"Sister-in-law personally came to tell me that Mother had already sent someone to visit Eldest Sister."
Jia Zhi's mind kept replaying Jia Su's words as she sneered.
When she arrived, Chun Sheng went out to welcome her. After entering the room, she found that Jia Gu didn't have any other servant girls by her side.
It seemed that Madam Jia's visit was really just a visit. She definitely didn't have any intention of venting anger for Jia Gu, nor did she represent Jia Gu's maternal family to warn Jia Gu's husband.
The maternal family's attitude often determined what kind of life a married daughter could live in her husband's family. Now that Madam Jia clearly expressed the attitude of Rongguo Province, it was no wonder that Jia Gu's husband's family acted so carelessly.
It was completely conceivable that after this incident, Jia Gu's situation in Xiuguogongfu would only get worse and worse.
Not knowing what she thought, Jia Zhi laughed self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps Eldest Sister's today will be my tomorrow."
Chun Sheng, who was guarding by Jia Gu's bed, moved her lips for a moment, but in the end, she didn't dare to say anything.
Jia Gu on the bed still didn't have any reaction.
Jia Zhi glanced at her and turned to ask Chun Sheng, "Has Eldest Sister eaten anything during this period of time?"
Calculating the time, Jia Gu's miscarriage was only seven or eight days ago. If she had properly recuperated, how could her cheeks be sunken like now? The pair of hands on the quilt were as thin as firewood. They didn't look like the hands of a woman in her early twenties.
Sure enough, Chun Sheng shook her head repeatedly, "Eldest Miss hasn't eaten for many days. She only drank some sugar water."
Even the sugar water was forced by her to drink Jia Gu.
Jia Zhi waved his hand and asked Chun Sheng and the others to leave. Then he said faintly, "Eldest Sister, why do you have to do this?
Women aren't born just to give birth to children. "
Probably angered by Jia Zhi's casual tone, Jia Gu turned her face and looked at Jia Zhi with eyes full of sadness.
Her eyes were red, as if saying, "What do you know?"
Jia Zhi smiled. It was good that she had a reaction.
Jia Zhi's feelings for Jia Gu had always been very complicated. Jia Gu was soft-hearted. Because they grew up together and both of them lost their mother when they were very young, she directly regarded her as her responsibility and treated her very well.
However, Jia Zhi's personality was cold and tenacious. Most of the time, he couldn't stand Jia Gu's indecisiveness and cowardice.
For example, the husband's family they married into was similar in all aspects.
The only thing she was better than Eldest Sister was that the person Marquis Jinyang really liked was already dead. Therefore, she still had some say in the family. She didn't have to bribe the kitchen with money just to eat the food she liked at home.
However, the four princes and eight dukes had a good relationship. Even if the relationship faded after several generations, there was still some face. Moreover, the Jia Daishan was now very powerful. No matter how much Jia Gu's husband favored his concubine and neglected his wife, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her at the risk of offending Rongguo Province, right?
However, she couldn't stand up for herself. When she was bullied, she didn't tell anyone and just endured it. In the end, she was bullied badly by the people of Xiuguogongfu.
At first, Jia Zhi wanted to help. However, Jia Gu acted as if it was for her own good and advised her not to meddle in Jia Gu's family affairs.
After a few times, Jia Zhi could only let her do as she pleased.
But now, seeing that Jia Gu didn't have the will to live, she couldn't continue to let her do as she pleased.
Jia Zhi glanced at Jia Su and faintly said: "The night I married Marquis Jinyang, I was told that I couldn't have my own child in the future."
But what was wrong with that?
Because they had a good relationship before they got married. On the day Eldest Sister married and returned home, she told Jia Zhi what kind of character her husband was. On the day of their wedding, he was called away by his cousin to stay overnight. Haha …
How could she still have expectations for her own husband?
Jia Gu had never heard Jia Zhi mention her life in her husband's family. She thought that although Jia Zhi's life wasn't good, it was definitely better than hers.
At this time, when she suddenly heard the opposite of what she expected, her eyes widened.
"Therefore, I treated Marquis Jinyang's only child as my own and thought for him in every way. After a year, my relationship with that child has become closer. Even Marquis Jinyang is treating me better."
"But I didn't expect that not long after, I would unexpectedly become pregnant."
Jia Gu's eyes widened: "Pregnant?"
Jia Zhi had been married to Marquis Jinyang for more than three years as his second wife, but Jia Gu had never heard that she was pregnant, let alone that she had a child.
"If I didn't have this child, I would have lived like this for the rest of my life. It's no big deal."
Jia Zhi smiled calmly: "But since I was pregnant, I thought that since it was Marquis Jinyang's child, he couldn't possibly ask me to abort it, right?"
"Maybe my previous attitude towards the child made Marquis Jinyang very satisfied. Later, when I found out that I was pregnant, I made a prompt decision to promise the old Marquis Jinyang that I wouldn't take away anything that belonged to the child. So under the persuasion of the old Marquis Jinyang's wife, Marquis Jinyang unexpectedly agreed to let me give birth to the child."
"Then why …"
"Of all my calculations, I never thought that an accident would happen to that child."
After all, in the entire Marquis' Mansion, she had a good relationship with the child.
However …
"When I wasn't paying attention, he knocked me to the ground when the child was six months old."
Jia Gu clenched his fists. That child …
No wonder the relationship between Jia Zhi and the child was so strange that day.
"Maybe I was in good health and the child in my belly was well taken care of. Although the fetus was affected, it was barely saved."
"Then why …"
"I don't know what rumors that child heard. He thought that I would abuse him after giving birth to the child and steal his things for my child, so he found Marquis Jinyang and said that he didn't want a younger brother or sister.
“
Jia Gu suddenly sat up. Because he hadn't eaten for a long time, he was weak and panting: "What, what did Marquis Jinyang say …"
Jia Zhi smiled with a gloomy face: "Of course, he told me to abort the child."
Jia Gu's gaze fell on Jia Zhi's belly. She looked at him blankly. She never thought that in a place she didn't notice, her younger sister had already suffered a more miserable experience than her.
She wasn't allowed to have a child and was ordered to abort the child by the child's father after she got pregnant. How desperate must it be for her younger sister?
She also had a miscarriage, but the person who caused her miscarriage was not the child's father. And after she had a miscarriage, no matter what happened behind the scenes, at least on the surface, her husband grounded the culprit for three months.
She wanted to comfort Jia Zhi, but when she moved her lips, she found that she couldn't say a word.
Because her younger sister was very clear that she didn't need other people's comfort.
On the contrary, her behavior after the miscarriage seemed to be more in need of comfort than her younger sister.
Jia Zhi looked at her coldly: "Is it fun to punish yourself with other people's mistakes?"
"But …" Even if she cheered up, wouldn't it be the same in the future?
Jia Zhi sighed: "That's why I agreed when Third Sister invited us to do business with you."
She just didn't think of it before, but after Third Sister's reminder, she realized that the best way to get out of the current predicament was to jump out of it, instead of being trapped in it and breaking it from the inside.
Jia Gu hesitated for a while, but finally cheered up and nodded: "Then I'll go with you."
She knew why her elder sister acted like this today, but she couldn't agree with her at all.
Everything changed after they found Third Sister and confirmed that there were no loopholes in the preparation for the opening of the shop.
In order to promote the rouge and face powder in the shop, she and Jia Gu personally went into the field. They changed their previous style and attended all kinds of banquets held by the noble ladies every day. They also followed Jia Su's advice. Not only did they let the maids use the rouge and face powder in the shop, but they also changed their own rouge and face powder to the ones that were about to be sold in their own shop.
The effect was very good at the beginning. First, it was novel. Second, the rouge and face powder looked really good after makeup.
Many ladies who didn't look very outstanding were even outshone by the two maids, which angered some people.
But later they found out that it was all because of the rouge and face powder. They weren't happy, but they couldn't help but privately visit them, wanting to ask them for some rouge and face powder.
There were only a few famous rouge shops in the capital. Which of these noble ladies didn't have a close relationship with them?
They didn't even need to ask to know that the rouge and face powder used by Jia Zhi and Jia Zhi weren't bought from outside shops. But they didn't think that Jia Zhi and Jia Zhi wanted to open a shop. They only thought that they had maids who were good at making rouge and face powder or they got some secret recipe from somewhere.
Because Jia Su didn't tell them how to deal with such a situation at the beginning, Jia Zhi thought about it and simply gave each of them a box according to their skin color.
Then, at the next banquet, as expected, these madams all seemed to have changed their appearances. Their previous mediocre and inconspicuous appearances were swept away. Among a group of glamorous women, they were able to attract some attention.
These changes naturally caused a stir in a certain area.
Jia Gu saw this and followed suit.
But in the end, the reason why Color Makeup Pavilion was so popular was because of her.
Ever since she started using the rouge and face powder from Color Makeup Pavilion in different ways every day, her husband, Marquis Jinyang, didn't know what was wrong with his brain, but he gradually started to pay attention to her. There was even one time when she returned home late from a banquet, and he personally rode a carriage to the family holding the banquet to pick her up.
This had never happened before.
Not to mention that Marquis Jinyang had always been famous in the capital for being deeply in love with his previous wife, the news about her as his second wife wasn't very good.
Even those who were rumored to be in love and harmony with the husband and wife had never seen the husband lower himself to personally pick her up.
These women were trapped in the backyard every day. As long as the husband was clear-headed and didn't favor the concubine and neglect the wife, most of them would use most of their energy to fight for favor in the backyard.
And Jia Su gave them the best example.
At this time, if the news that Color Makeup Pavilion was about to open for business was revealed, how many women would be able to control themselves?
Even Jia Gu, who was initially resistant to the rouge and face powder from Color Makeup Pavilion, had a much more positive attitude after seeing this.
And the reason why she was so happy today was because her husband, who had never paid attention to her, finally noticed her when they met this morning. Not only did he praise her beauty, but he also seemed to have finally remembered that she had a miscarriage a month ago. He said a few words of concern to her and promised to rest at her place for the next few days.
Jia Gu's thoughts were similar to those of the other noblewomen, so after her husband gave her the signal to "reconcile," she naturally felt happy.
She even trusted Jia Zhi and Jia Su more and more.
However, Jia Zhi only felt that it was ridiculous. The recent events were just men's lustful nature.
After a while, those concubines, who were originally good at using their looks, would also start to use the rouge from Color Makeup Pavilion. Then, those men would revert to their old ways.
Of course, this would be good for Color Makeup Pavilion's business, but it was hard for her to be happy when she saw her elder sister indulging in such an illusion.
Unfortunately, Jia Gu was now in high spirits, so these words were in vain.
The carriages moved forward one by one. After about an hour, Jia Su and Mother Lin's carriage finally arrived in front of Color Makeup Pavilion's door.
Jia Zhi looked out of the window and happened to see Jia Su's carriage.
Before she got married, she had been out of the house a few times, so she naturally recognized that this carriage came from Rongguo Province.
And now, Jia Su was the only person who would ride a carriage of this standard.
Jia Zhi said goodbye to Jia Gu and said no to the other guests, then quickly went downstairs to pick up Jia Su.
But when she went downstairs, her gaze was immediately attracted by the old lady beside Jia Su, who had an extraordinary temperament.
She walked forward and looked at Jia Su in confusion, "Third sister, who is this lady?"
Jia Su hurriedly introduced her, "This is the Marchioness of Wen 'an."
Jia Zhi immediately realized Mother Lin's identity and became much more respectful. She quickly led her to the VIP room on the second floor.
-
After a period of time, Color Makeup Pavilion's business was on the right track. Although it wasn't as popular as it was at the beginning, the daily flow of customers was still very impressive.
It wasn't that no one had any ideas about Color Makeup Pavilion, but when they found out that this small rouge shop was backed by the four influential families of Rongguo Province, the Xiu Family, the Marquis' Household, and the Count of Wen 'an's Household, they all gave up on this idea.
Because of this, Jia Su's entire being was idle. She only waited to lie in her room and collect small amounts of money every day.
But today was a little different.
Not long after breakfast, Cui Yan ran into the room from outside the courtyard. His bangs were wet with sweat, and he didn't have the slightest bit of image.
Chi Xia hurriedly stopped him, "Cui Yan, stop!
Being so impetuous in front of Miss, are you itching for a beating? "
Cui Yan hurriedly stopped and stood by the door, but her eyes were still astonishingly bright, "Miss, someone from the Lin family has come!"
Jia Su didn't react for a moment, "Why did someone from the Lin family come?"
Cui Yan cried out in alarm, "Miss, it's the six rites of engagement!"
Although the Jia family and the Lin family already had a verbal agreement, the engagement could be overturned at any time without the three letters and six rites, even if everyone knew about it.
Previously, when the Lin family's heavenly joyous event fell on Jia Su's head, Cui Yan had always felt that it was unreal. Several months had passed, and the six rites still hadn't been carried out, so she always felt that the engagement might be ruined.
But her Miss's flowering period had already been delayed. How would she marry in the future?
Moreover, she didn't want her Miss to lose Tanhua Lin's engagement.
But she only dared to ponder these little thoughts in her heart, and she didn't dare to let anyone else know.
Now, the two families had finally started the formal engagement process. How could she not be happy?
Not to mention Cui Yan, even Chi Xia, who had always been calm and composed, had a bit of a blush on her face.
Obviously, this kind of news made more than one person happy.
Jia Su was still a bit confused, "Didn't they already have an engagement before?"
If her impression of Lin Ruhai hadn't improved a lot, and she knew that he wasn't someone who cared about these complicated formalities, Jia Su wouldn't have asked Madam Jia for permission to go to the Lin family on the pretext that she had received an invitation from her stepsisters to congratulate them on opening their shops. After she was allowed to go out, she deliberately went to the Lin family to meet Lin Ruhai, which could cause rumors if people found out.
But Lin Ruhai wasn't there.
Mother Lin was.
Not long ago, she had met Mother Lin. She wasn't stupid enough to forget her future boss.
Fortunately, after Mother Lin got on the carriage, she didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure towards her actions today.
The specifications of carriages were strictly regulated. The carriage used by an unmarried concubine's daughter like Jia Su was very simple and narrow. Even if she deliberately gave the most comfortable seat to Mother Lin and tried her best to reduce the space it occupied, she still couldn't avoid physical contact between the two.
Jia Su was fine, but Mother Lin had never sat in such a small carriage with anyone before. For a moment, her whole body felt uncomfortable.
After a while, Mother Lin adapted and looked at Jia Su with a smile, "Third Miss, did you come here today to look for my son?"
Jia Su looked calm on the surface, but in her heart, she was crazily shouting, "I'm here, I'm here."
She nodded and held her breath. Her face was quickly dyed red, "Because I heard that Eldest Sister and Second Sister opened a cosmetics shop, so I wanted to take a look.
I just happened to pass by the Lin family, so I wanted to ask about Young Master Lin. "
But I didn't expect that Lin Ruhai wasn't home.
After she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with disappointment.
Mother Lin wasn't displeased by Jia Su's "unabashed concern for Lin Ruhai" towards Lin Ruhai. On the contrary, she was very happy.
However, she quickly frowned. As a mother, discovering that her future daughter-in-law had deep feelings for her son was certainly something to be happy about. But Mother Lin couldn't help but feel distressed when her son made her own daughter-in-law sad.
After all, she also experienced this kind of situation, so she could especially understand Jia Su's feelings.
She simply pulled Jia Su's hand and patted it, "Third Miss, don't blame me. When Ruhai comes back, I'll definitely teach him. He's about to be engaged, so he can't run around all day."
Jia Su lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "En."
Mother Lin only thought that she was shy and patted her hand to comfort her.
Mother Lin was naturally unwilling at first when she found out that the marriage candidate had been changed to a concubine's daughter. Even after she found out that her son was very satisfied with his fiancée, she couldn't help but feel worried.
He wasn't worried about the upbringing of a concubine's daughter.
She was still alive, so she could teach her how to manage the household. Moreover, she believed that she could teach her better than Madam Jia.
But she was worried about Jia Su's temperament.
As a legitimate daughter, how could she not know the temperament of her concubine sisters in the family?
Most of them weren't very likable.
Before she got married, she also learned from her mother that most of those concubine daughters were raised by the matriarchs to make it easier to control them after they got married.
Lin family didn't have many children, so Mother Lin didn't have the opportunity to practice. However, she went out to socialize these years and saw many concubine daughters in big families. She only felt that they weren't much different from her concubine sisters and couldn't bear the responsibility of being the head of the family.
So when she heard that a young lady surnamed Jia had come to visit, she disregarded etiquette and went out, even riding in the same carriage as the third young lady.
The results of the test were good. She didn't know anything else, but at least the third young lady of the Jia family had a natural and unrestrained temperament and wasn't timid.
Jia Su also had her son's favor, so Mother Lin was naturally more satisfied with her.
At this time, she remembered Jia Su's words and couldn't help but ask, "Your eldest sister and second sister opened a cosmetics shop?
Do they have any special recipes? "
Jia Su was stunned and looked at Mother Lin, "Auntie, don't you think that this merchant business …"
Before Jia Su could finish, Mother Lin smiled and waved her hand, "What's wrong with this?
In the future, when you marry into the family, you'll know that although the Lin family is a scholarly family, Gusu's hometown has bought a lot of land and shops. Although the Lin family's business isn't as big as those merchants, it's still one of the best in Gusu City. "
She seemed to be worried that Jia Su would despise merchants, so she earnestly taught, "Although this merchant business was criticized by scholars, if you look carefully, don't those scholars have any business at all?
If that's the case, how can their little salary support a large family? "
"They just put the shops under the name of a servant or let the clansmen of the five servers help them manage the business to prevent the censors from impeaching them."
Jia Su immediately showed an expression of being enlightened.
Mother Lin felt that Jia Su was smart and understood everything with just a hint, so she was even more satisfied with her.
Jia Su then began to talk about the cosmetics shop, "This cosmetics shop was opened by me, eldest sister, and second sister with money. There are also many secret recipes."
"Oh?" Mother Lin became spirited.
Because Jia Su wanted to get closer, the two talked and laughed along the way, and their relationship improved a lot.
However, when the carriage arrived at the street where the cosmetics shop was located, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Mother Lin looked out of the carriage window and saw that the street was blocked by carriages and people.
The people were still fine, as they could always find an opening to leave.
However, the carriage was huge, so after the road was blocked, they couldn't go any further.
Jia Su hurriedly asked Cui Yan to inquire about the situation.
After a while, Cui Yan came back, looking absent-minded.
Chi Xia looked at her and slapped her on the head, "Cui Yan, Old Madam and Young Miss are still waiting for your reply!"
Cui Yan quickly regained her senses, "Reporting to Old Madam and Young Miss, this servant just went to the front to inquire and learned that most of these carriages belong to the madams and young misses of the capital.
They are all here to support the Cosmetics Shop. "
Jia Su blinked, "Cosmetics Shop?" Wasn't her shop called Cosmetics Shop?
Cui Yan quickly nodded, "Because other than the madams and young misses who came in person, there are also many customers who only sent servant girls and manservants to buy rouge and face powder. The shop assistants of Cosmetics Shop are too busy. The rouge and face powder have been sold out twice, so we need to get more from the warehouse. That's why there are so many carriages and people on the street."
Even though Jia Su had always been confident about the Cosmetics Shop's sales, she was still a little confused at this time. Wasn't this business too good?
Mother Lin looked at Jia Su with a different kind of light in her eyes.
Just a cosmetics shop could make so much money. Even if the couple had several children in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough property to share.
Jia Su turned around and happened to meet Mother Lin's eyes. Her heart trembled, "Aunt?"
Jia Su was a little confused. She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back first?"
Huyu immediately wanted to stop her, but who knew that a scream would suddenly come from inside the room.
She could only say, "Third Young Miss, don't go yet." Then she turned around and rushed into the room.
Cui Yan stared, "What …"
Huyu wasn't the only servant girl in this courtyard. How could she leave her young miss here when something happened?
She didn't see any other servant girls coming to serve her.
Cui Yan was still indignant. Chi Xia helplessly pulled her, "Cui Yan, shut up. This is Fourth Young Miss's courtyard!"
Wasn't she afraid that Fourth Young Miss's servant girls would hear and tell Fourth Young Miss?
