"Sleeping early and getting up early is good for your health. People should learn from me and be free and unfettered." Lin Wanrong hummed a tune as he got up. He had a good sleep last night after being tired. When he went out, he saw that the opposite room was empty. The two ladies had already woken up. He didn't know where they went.
Just as he was doing his morning exercises in boredom, a maidservant whose face was red from the cold ran in and shouted, "Third Brother, Third Brother — —"
Lin Wanrong recognized her. She was the maid assigned by Aunt Song to the Grand Mistress last night. Her name was Huan'er. She was petite and cute.
"Sister Huan'er, what's the matter? Hey, there's a cockroach on your head. Let me get it off for you. "Lin Wanrong pretended to be surprised.
Huan'er was scared and jumped to his side. She hugged his arm and said, "Third brother, where are you? Where are you?"
"Third brother is here!" Lin Wanrong laughed. Getting up early in the morning to tease a little girl. Life is so damn good.
Huan'er knew that she was fooled. She blushed and let go of his arm. She said softly, "Third brother, the Grand Mistress asked me to come and see you. She said that if you are up, she will invite you to have breakfast."
Lin Wanrong yawned and said, "Then tell the Grand Mistress that I am not up yet. Last night, he fell asleep in a hurry. He didn't even have time to take a shower. I must have a good bath later and then go back to sleep. Oh, sister Huan'er, I see that you are not young. Are you in your teens? "
"16. I am 17 now!" Huan'er said softly.
"Is that so? So young? It seems that I can't make a big mistake. Huan'er, come in and help me wipe my back. "
Ah, the little girl was so scared that she ran away like a gust of wind. Lin Wanrong laughed arrogantly. If it wasn't to find Qing Xuan, he would tease the maids and hug his wife every day. How free and unfettered he was.
He had come to the capital to do two things. One was to help the Grand Mistress manage the business in the capital, and the other was to find Qing Xuan. The enigmatic meeting last night increased his confidence. If he could meet her by chance, how could he not find her if he focused on looking for her?
It was a dusty journey and he had a good night's sleep. It was necessary to take a bath in the morning. The people living in the inner courtyard were all women, so he felt a little embarrassed to have to trouble them to carry the bathwater.
With great difficulty, he filled the big wooden bucket with hot water, took out the soap, took off his clothes and went into the bucket. A slightly warm feeling spread over his body, making all the pores on his body clear, and he felt indescribably comfortable.
His whole body was limp, and he sighed comfortably. Both of his hands gently moved and forcefully stroked a few times. He then hummed coquettishly, "I'll swim, I'll swim, swim, swim!"
Just as he was soaking comfortably, he heard light footsteps coming from outside the door. A woman's voice sounded from outside the door, "Are you in the house? What are you doing? Why don't you come out to eat? "
How come you don't even have a name? If I wasn't familiar with you, I wouldn't even know who you're talking to. He buried his head in the water for a long time, then looked up and took a deep breath. He shook off the water droplets on his head and said with a smile, "Grand Mistress, I'm taking a bath. Don't come in, or else I'll call you molestation."
Xiao Yuruo, who was listening outside, found it funny. Taking a bath in the morning? This person never spoke seriously, and every word he said was a lie.
"It would be strange if I believed you!" Grand Mistress muttered, "What are you doing? Quickly come out, or else I'll come in."
"I'm warning you, don't come in, or else you'll have to bear the consequences."
Lin San's words sounded like he was putting on a strong front. Grand Mistress naturally didn't believe him. Seeing that he didn't come out, she stubbornly pushed the door open and entered.
"Ah –" Both of them screamed at the same time.
Lin Wanrong sat in the wooden bucket with water droplets dripping from his hair. He saw Grand Mistress rushing in with a wooden plate in her hand. There were porridge, steamed buns, and a few delicate side dishes on the plate. Obviously, it was prepared for him.
"Grand Mistress, you saw my virginity. You have to be responsible for me!" Lin San laughed.
"You, you, why aren't you wearing clothes?" Xiao Yuruo was embarrassed and anxious. She quickly turned her head and said angrily.
Sweat, do people wear clothes to take a bath? Lin Wanrong smiled, "Didn't I say it? I'm taking a bath! Why don't you believe me? Let's see how you're going to be responsible for me now. "
Grand Mistress hurriedly left the room. Her cheeks were burning. Looking at the exquisite breakfast, she couldn't help but snort angrily and shyly.
After taking a bath, he felt comfortable and refreshed. Lin Wanrong pushed the door and went out. He saw Grand Mistress sitting in front of the door in a daze. Her eyes were blank. He didn't know what she was thinking.
"Forget it, I'm unlucky. You saw everything. I'll make do with it. I won't pursue you. Don't frown. Do what you need to do! "Lin Wanrong said generously.
"I hate you!" Grand Mistress blushed and snorted. She didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. Compared with last night, this person seemed to be a completely different person. Seeing him reach out to the plate, she hurriedly said, "Don't use it. The food is cold. I'll ask them to change it to something hot."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "It's still Grand Mistress who cares about me!"
"Who cares about you." Grand Mistress snorted softly. Her cheeks were a little red, "You only know how to be lazy. You even need me to serve you. If other people saw it, it would be strange if there wasn't gossip! "
"Gossip? What gossip? What gossip is Grand Mistress afraid of? " Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said carelessly, "Gossip is made by idle people. In this world, the thing I'm least afraid of is gossip."
Grand Mistress saw the smile in his eyes. She was a little flustered. She hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.
"You, you only know how to humiliate me!" Xiao Yuruo's eyes were misty. She felt wronged and touched. She softly said, "Where's the lantern from yesterday? Where did it go? I want to see it! "
"I threw it away. I threw it away here." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "It's just a broken lantern. What's there to see?"
Grand Mistress's nose was sour. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head while crying, "Liar, you are a liar. A liar who specializes in deceiving me!"
…
According to Grand Mistress's plan, the main purpose of this trip to the capital was to promote perfume and soap. Although Lady Xiao was born in the capital, she had left the capital for many years. She didn't have many connections. The Xiao Family was unknown in the capital. They didn't know many high-ranking officials and nobles. After Xiao Yuruo came, she had to start from scratch.
The Xiao Family was a big family in Jin Ling City. They had a solid foundation. They could do anything they wanted. However, the capital was not like Jin Ling City. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers under the feet of the emperor. Those who stumbled were the relatives of the emperor and nobles. Although the Xiao Family had been operating here for many years, it was mostly in the cloth business. At this time, they wanted to change their business to cosmetics. Even if the soap and perfume had extraordinary magic, they still had to start from scratch. It could be said that opportunities and challenges coexisted.
Grand Mistress frowned. Song Sao, who was sitting next to her, didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing her thoughts. Second Miss sat next to Lin Wanrong and looked at him with a smile. She would be seventeen after the New Year. She was one year older. According to Madam's instructions, she had to participate in the discussion of the Xiao Family's matters in the future.
"Lin San, what do you think our first step should be? Should we first visit mother's old friends, or should we rely on Song Sao's connections and start step by step? "Grand Mistress asked.
This problem was a piece of cake for Lin Wanrong. He had personally handled countless cases. The launch of a new product was accompanied by overwhelming advertising and endless promotional packaging. Let people remember it and use it. This was a success.
However, in this era, one had to be careful about how to package and advertise the perfume and soap that were suitable for the target audience. These ladies didn't like suspenders and didn't wear lace. They were all gentle women. Marketing also had to pay attention to skills.
Yu Shuang saw her sister's brows furrowed and Lin San's smile. With her understanding of him, she knew he must have some kind of method. She gently pushed his shoulder and said, "What method do you have? Hurry up and say it. Don't make me anxious."
Lin Wanrong quietly said, "Last night, you promised me that you would kiss me if I guessed the riddles. Why did you run away first?" Second Miss lightly spat. Her face blushed and she didn't dare to speak.
Lin Wanrong laughed and stood up, saying, "Grand Mistress, the two methods you proposed are reasonable. You can try them. Don't say anything else, at least you can make your face familiar. As for whether it will be effective or not, that's another matter. "
Grand Mistress discontentedly said, "If you have an idea, just say it. You always like to speak in riddles. Be careful, I will report you to Niangqin."
Lin Wanrong sweated. Grand Mistress didn't know what to do. She actually used the madam to pressure me. He smiled and said, "Although the methods that Grand Mistress mentioned are feasible, they are all based on other people's faces. It's not very safe. The money earned from the perfume and soap is our own. I should be the master. "
"How do I be the master?" Grand Mistress said.
"It's very simple! We will take the initiative, advertise, hold exhibitions, and promote our products. With the charm of the perfume and soap, it won't be difficult to cause a sensation. " Seeing Grand Mistress's contemplative gaze, Lin Wanrong continued, "The main consumers of our products are the madams and misses in the capital. If you want to attract their attention, then it must be to their liking. In my opinion, it would be better to hold an incense tasting party. "
"Incense tasting party? What incense tasting party? "Several people in the room asked together.
"Everyone, think about it. If the perfume and flowers were put together, what would the effect be?" Lin Wanrong suggested.
"More fragrant than flowers!" Grand Mistress clapped her hands, her face pleasantly surprised.
Lin Wanrong tsked and said, "Grand Mistress is indeed exceptionally intelligent, understanding with just a hint! This young man admires you. "
Grand Mistress charmingly looked at him and said angrily, "Don't ridicule me. I understand what you mean. But how can we let the madams and misses come to see our incense tasting party? "
"Every spring, all kinds of flower appreciation parties emerge one after another. The madams and misses will go out to enjoy the scenery. It wouldn't be too difficult to find such an opportunity to hold an incense tasting party, right? Live promotion, free samples, elegant and original, the effect will be sensational. Remember, opportunities will always favor those who are prepared. "Lin Wanrong smiled.
Xiao Yuruo nodded slightly. Second Miss was also overjoyed. She whispered to Lin Wanrong, "Lin San, come out for a moment." After saying this, she quickly ran out of the room.
Lin Wanrong didn't care about Grand Mistress's surprised gaze and hurriedly followed.
Second Miss hid behind the flower bed and waved at him. Seeing him arrive, she couldn't help but blush. Her phoenix eyes slightly closed and her voice trembled, "Bad guy, kiss me!"
