Brocade Robe Unparalleled

Chapter 99 Plastic Sisters
early morning.

The Bozhou Jingbian Division had no official duties and did not even need to report to the yamen.

Lin Xuan had plenty of time to prepare breakfast.

Wenren Yue prefers light flavors, so Lin Xuan prepared mushroom soup noodles for her.

Yesterday, A Luo said she wanted to eat wontons. Tian Qingluan was still asleep, so for convenience, Lin Xuan made the decision for her, and the three of them ate wontons together.

During the meal, Tian Qingluan acted as usual.

But there are some things that the two of them already understand without saying a word.

After breakfast, she looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Come with me to the shop later."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Without hesitation, Aro said, "I'll go too!"

Wenren Yue looked up at the two of them and knew that there would be some excitement to watch for a long time to come.

Although A Luo's courtyard only had one entrance, there were two empty rooms. Tian Qingluan decided to live in the same courtyard with her. After A Luo finished packing her things, Lin Xuan accompanied her out.

When the two went out, A-Luo was of course also present.

This time, Lin Xuan resolutely refused to let them link arms with him on either side.

Being escorted by two beautiful women through the streets is too much of a target of envy. This isn't Sizhou, and they're new here, so it's best for them to keep a low profile.

The Tian family owned a salt shop in Bozhou City.

Originally, given the Tian family's strength, they were not qualified to get involved in the salt industry of Bozhou. The entire salt industry in Bozhou was monopolized by the Yang family, and the imperial court and other salt merchants had no way to get involved.

The reason the Tian family was an exception was because when they sold the new salt production method to the Yang family last time, the Yang family specifically allowed them to get a share of the salt profits in Bozhou.

The Tian family's salt shop is doing quite well. They have mastered the complete purification method, and the quality of their refined salt is slightly higher than that of the Yang family, ensuring their competitiveness in the high-end market.

Those queuing in front of Tian's Salt Shop were mostly servants or managers of large families.

In business matters, Lin Xuan had to admire Tian Qingluan.

While most small and medium-sized salt merchants in the southwest suffered heavy losses, were either swallowed up by powerful chieftains or submitted to the imperial court, the Tian family carved out a new path for themselves, and she deserves much of the credit for this.

"Miss!"

"I've met the eldest lady!"

In front of the servants of the Tian family, Tian Qingluan reverted to her role as the head of the family. Lin Xuan could see that the servants of the Tian family respected her from the bottom of their hearts.

After touring the shop, Tian Qingluan smiled at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Your wages will double this month, and starting next month, everyone's wages will increase by another 20%..."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again filled with gratitude.

After leaving Tian's Salt Shop, Tian Qingluan looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Let's go to the rouge shop. We left in a hurry this time and didn't bring any rouge or face powder. We need to go to the rouge shop to buy some."

Lin Xuan nodded. He remembered that he had passed a rouge shop on his way to the salt shop.

A moment later, standing in front of the rouge shop called "Ningxiangzhai", Lin Xuan said with some surprise, "It seems that there is also a shop like this in Sizhou."

Tian Qingluan nodded and said, "Ningxiangzhai is a business owned by the Yang family. Apart from the territories of the Song and An families, Ningxiangzhai has branches in almost every prefecture and county town. It's not just salt shops and rouge shops; the Yang family also owns pharmacies, restaurants, brothels, brokerage firms, and canal transport. They are involved in almost every business in the southwest..."

As she spoke of these things, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

One day, she too will lead the Tian family to this point...

Lin Xuan originally planned to wait outside, but seeing that there were quite a few men in the rouge shop, she followed them inside.

The people of Bozhou are more open-minded than those of Sizhou.

In this cosmetics shop, the number of men was no less than the number of women.

However, they were all accompanied by female companions, so they must have come in with their female companions.

After Tian Qingluan and A Luo entered the rouge shop, the previously noisy shop fell into a brief silence.

Then, a series of gasps and cries of pain came from around the counters.

The men inside the shop were either having their waists pinched or their ears twisted by their female companions, yet they still couldn't bear to take their eyes off the two beauties.

However, their admiration for the beauty soon turned into jealousy of the man.

What makes this guy so special that he has two stunning beauties by his side?
Judging from his appearance, could he be the son of some chieftain? Even if he is, this is Bozhou, where there's always someone more powerful. To dare to parade around with such a beauty, isn't he afraid of being targeted?

Tian Qingluan selected some women's toiletries. Lin Xuan saw A Luo standing obediently beside him, turned to her and said, "You can pick some things you like too, I'll give them to you."

A Luo shook her head and said, "I still have some at home, so Brother Lin doesn't need to spend any more money."

At this moment, Tian Qingluan came over carrying two small bamboo baskets, handed one of them to A'luo, and said, "This is for little sister A'luo. Thank you for taking me in."

Lin Xuan noticed that she bought two of everything.

Aro shook her head again and said, "These things are enough to live there for ten years, I can't take them..."

Lin Xuan took the bamboo basket from her and said, "Just accept it as a gift from Qingluan. It's a token of her affection and can't be measured in silver."

Since they would be living under the same roof for a long time to come, Lin Xuan naturally hoped that they could live in harmony.

Upon hearing this, A'Luo smiled sweetly at Tian Qingluan and said, "Thank you, Sister Qingluan."

Tian Qingluan smiled and replied, "You're welcome. We're best friends, so we share the good times..."

The two looked at each other, and although they both considered each other their biggest rivals, they still outwardly presented themselves as sisters in harmony.

After the three left, a noisy sound came from Ningxiangzhai.

"Hmph, you were staring at those two women so intently your eyes practically popped out. Tell me, are you interested in them?!"

"I'm innocent! You're the only one in my heart!"

"Wow, when did Bozhou produce such a beauty..."

"Follow him, see where they go, and go back to tell the young master that he will definitely like these two beauties..."

……

Lin Xuan was walking down the street when, at one moment, he paused slightly.

He turned his head as if by accident, looking behind him.

Someone is following them.

Although he was forced into the profession by Mandala, Lin Xuanxue possessed all the skills of a secret agent.

Because of the boost from his mental power, his perception was exceptionally strong, and of course, he couldn't hide the two little tails that had followed them all the way from him.

Lin Xuan looked at Tian Qingluan and A Luo and said, "You two go back first. I'll go buy some bowls and plates. We don't have enough at home."

Tian Qingluan said, "I'll go with you..."

A Luo glanced behind her, then tugged at Tian Qingluan's arm and said, "Let Brother Lin go. Let's go back and prepare lunch. Carrying all this stuff is tiring..."

Tian Qingluan was dragged away by A Luo, while Lin Xuan stood in front of a stall on the street for a while.

The two people not far away were unsure whether they should follow.

"They broke up, what do we do now?"

"Nonsense, of course it's with those two women!"

The two abandoned Lin Xuan and quickly chased after Tian Qingluan and A Luo.

As they quickly passed through the crowd, they suddenly felt a sharp pain in their backs, instantly lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground.

This scene unfolded in the bustling city, and the crowd dispersed.

They just watched from a distance, not daring to get close.

Judging from their clothes, these two should be servants of some chieftain. If we get too close, we might be extorted by them and end up bankrupt.

Only a handsome young man stood beside the two of them, turned around and said, "Someone has fainted here, quickly go and get a doctor!"

"Shh, this is none of your business, hurry up and leave!"

"You're from out of town, aren't you? Stay away from them, or you'll get ripped off!"

"Hurry, hurry! Once they wake up, we won't be able to leave!"

Some concerned citizens offered their advice and reminders.

After being reminded by the crowd, the young man quickly left. Someone sighed, "That young man had a kind heart, but unfortunately, in this world, good deeds don't always go unrewarded..."
