Chapter 29 Guests from the Capital

The maid looked around worriedly.

The woman called Miss was attracted by the displays in the store and was reluctant to leave.

She had never seen such a beautiful shop, not even her room.

The lamp hanging above the head is actually made of colored glaze in the shape of petals.

There are such skilled craftsmen in the capital? Why has she never heard of them?

She was tempted to buy them, as well as the colored glass hairpins and multi-treasure bracelets on the shelf.
The clothes the woman in the store was wearing were also unique, as was the color of her lipstick.

Even the best cosmetics shop in the capital can't make such a color!
"Call out your boss." The woman said arrogantly.

"It's me." Shen You picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The woman felt a little angry when she saw how calm she was.

In the past, no matter which shop she went to, from the shopkeeper to the clerks, everyone would bow, nod and smile to greet her, trying to curry favor with her.

Merchants have a low status, who would dare to sit down and entertain her?
The maid understood her young lady's look and immediately cleared her throat and said, "My young lady's surname is Zhao, and she is the daughter of the Marquis's mansion."

There is only one mansion named Zhao in the capital. After hearing the name, the owner must have had an idea in his mind.

Zhao Wanyi shook her sleeves and waited for the shopkeeper to serve her tea, and then he diligently took out the good things for her to choose.

But the other party did not change his expression, just smiled and answered, and asked,
"What do you want to buy? You can take down anything on the shelf and have a look."

"You" are you asking me to get it? Zhao Wanyi opened her mouth, but finally held back.

Ask what’s important first.

"How much silver did you spend on the lip balm? And this."

Zhao Wanyi asked her maid to take down all the jewelry she liked, saying, "This one is pretty, and that one is beautiful."

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, open the lid and spray it into the air, and the rich floral fragrance will fill the air.

Zhao Wanyi opened her eyes wide in surprise, it smells so good!
"The two scents are different." Shen You let her try another bottle.

"Any more? I want them all!"

Such a small bottle wouldn’t last long, and she wanted to buy out this unique scent.

"There are only these two for now." The formal bottle on the second floor is a limited edition, and Shen You is reluctant to take it out.

Unless you add money.

Zhao Wanyi nodded modestly, "When there are new ones in the future, send them directly to the Marquis' Mansion, and your reward will not be reduced."

"Also these things and the lip balm, and the lamps like this one in your store, send them all over."

Shen You frowned, "According to our store's rules, we do not deliver goods. All business here is based on payment and delivery."

"What's wrong with you? Just give it when I tell you to. There's no need to follow any rules. It's your blessing that our young lady likes the things in your shop." The maid scolded crisply.

The wealthy and powerful would have their goods delivered to their doorsteps for selection, and they would be overjoyed to be chosen by a shop that delivered goods regularly.

If you offend people like them, you won’t be able to do business in the capital!

The shopkeeper's attitude is ungrateful.

Shen You propped up his chin and said lazily, "The rule of my store is that if you can accept it, you can buy it. If you can't accept it, turn left when you leave."

Zhao Wanyi took two deep breaths. According to her personality, she should have thrown the banknote away, smashed the things, and waited for the other party to come to her house to apologize to her.

But looking at the things she took down, she couldn't bear to part with them. "Also, our store doesn't accept banknotes, only gold and silver, or barter."

Hearing Shen You's unhurried voice, Zhao Wanyi paused in taking the banknote and her face became even more displeased.

Without waiting for her to speak, Shen You started to count the money.
"These two bottles of perfume are 100 taels, the bracelet and the glass hairpin are 100 taels,
I only have one new lipstick left, and the color is a little different from the one I used today. I can take it down and show it to you later. If you want it, it’s also 100 taels.”

The thing is expensive. One hundred taels of lipstick can be considered a sky-high price.

But this was not the reason why Zhao Wanyi's expression froze. Instead, who would go out to burn incense in the temple and carry so many silver ingots with him? !
"The lights can't be sold." Shen You added.

"Why can't it be sold?" Zhao Wanyi asked.

"I only have one. I'm not selling it. And you can't use it even if you buy it."

Shen You couldn't explain the principle behind it clearly to the ancients. What if someone didn't believe it and put a candle on it to light it, or poured lamp oil on it, and it exploded?

Just as Zhao Wanyi ordered the maid to go out and find her followers to exchange the silver, Shen You had already gone upstairs and took down the new lipstick.

He opened the carton and demonstrated how to use it.

As soon as Zhao Wanyi saw the beautiful lipstick case in front of her and the lipstick inside, she loved it.

If she could use the lipstick and perfume here, who could outshine her at the banquet held for the prince's return to the capital?

"You can't try this unless you are sure you want it." Shen You stopped her.

Zhao Wanyi smiled, "Do you think I can't afford it?"

"That's not the case. It's just that lip balm is used on the lips, and the girl doesn't want the lipstick she bought to be touched by others." Shen You replied.

"When will the color you use be available? Are there other colors?" Zhao Wanyi did not give up.

"some."

Shen You took out the three lipsticks that she had just taken down, "All these colors are available, but they will be available in three days."

"The color of the one I'm using now is quite rare. If you want it, you can exchange it for the hairpin on your head."

It’s a limited edition popular model, but it’s hard to buy in the counters right now, and it’s also out of stock in the online flagship store, so you can only pay more and find a purchasing agent.

So it is reasonable for her to sell it at a higher price.

Zhao Wanyi's expression changed again. "I can exchange it with you for another headpiece, or pay you twice the price."

If anyone dared to ask her for things in the palace, she would kill that woman.

Shen You: "Then find a craftsman who can make this kind of hairpin, and ask him to make me a simple style using the same craftsmanship, and then tell me the production method."

"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 can choose not to sell it to others, but if you ask me not to use it, I won't do that."

As a modern person, Shen You cannot get used to the sense of superiority that the ancient privileged class feels towards her.

Zhao Wanyi was also very angry, but she really wanted these things, so she had to compromise first.

The maid came over with the silver that had just been exchanged. She had a strange expression on her face. She looked at Shen You but in the end didn't dare to say anything.

The transaction was completed. When leaving the shop, Zhao Wanyi glanced at the chandelier out of the corner of her eye and still felt upset.

She was a marquis and wanted to buy something, but this woman said she didn't want to sell it?

However, she also noticed that this woman was not afraid of offending the Marquis' Mansion. Could there be someone behind her?

But even so, how could a business woman who was in the spotlight be worthy of using the same thing as her!
There was a flash of disdain in Zhao Wanyi's eyes, and when she saw the Duobao bracelet she had just put on her hand, she couldn't help but marvel at it.

I don’t know what kind of rope is used, but it can be retracted and will not fall off when worn on the hand.

The stuff in the store is really good.

If only I could hold everything in my own hands.
