After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 92: Making Money (2 chapters in 1)
Today is Yuyan Pavilion’s new product launch conference.
Looking at Gu Jin who jumped out of the bed, Xie Ran found it hard to connect her with the lazy girl who used to sleep until noon without opening her eyes.
"I'm afraid I'll be busy for a long time today, so you don't have to wait for me to eat." Gu Jin said casually while dressing in front of the mirror.
Xie Ran stared at her, his tone unclear, "Madam seems to be busy all the time."
Gu Jin thought carefully and realized that except for the few days after his wedding when he was hanging around in the mansion, he was mostly out.
She pursed her lips, turned around and looked up at Xie Ran, with a hint of apology in her eyes, "How about I find you a few concubines?"
It is quite important to have a dining partner. When she was in the army, she liked to eat with a guy nicknamed Erhei. Others used bowls to eat but he used a basin. It was delicious to see him eat.
Xie Ran lowered his eyes coldly, "You are really considerate."
"Yeah, you can just smile secretly after you marry me." Gu Jin said casually while comparing the two hairpins in the mirror.
Xie Ran couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Gu Jin finally chose a golden hairpin with twin peony flowers and inserted it into her hair. She thought about it carefully and shook her head firmly, "No."
Xie Ran was speechless for a moment.
Now even picking up a man isn't worth mentioning, right?
Do you have to bring it home before you tell him?
It's really hard to live like this.
When Xie Ran went out to attend the court, Gu Jin frowned and asked Xiang Ruyi, "Is your general a little unhappy?"
"No, I think the general is the same as usual!"
Gu Jin felt relieved when he heard that, "I think so too."
Gu Jin packed up and prepared to go out, only to notice that Duobao didn't seem to be around today. In the past, she was always around Xie Ran, but today she was quiet.
"Should I go find Sister Duobao?"
"No need, you are enough." Anyway, there were no other maids around her.
Ruyi's eyes were red and she was so moved that tears were about to flow.
The young mistress trusts her so much, she must not let her down!
The carriage had already been waiting at the door. Gu Jin got on it and headed straight for Yuyan Pavilion.
Yongchang Hou happened to see this scene and asked casually, "What did she do out there so early in the morning?"
She was dressed up fancy, so Xie Ran felt relieved.
"I heard that the young lady's rouge shop is holding a new product launch today..."
When the Marquis of Yongchang heard that Gu Jin was out doing business, he frowned. Seeing this, Zhao Er hurriedly said, "If the Marquis feels that it is inappropriate, I can find someone to remind the young lady."
Yongchang Marquis glanced at him and said unhappily, "Are you free or am I free?"
There is no father-in-law who would beat his daughter-in-law for no reason.
Marquis Yongchang frowned thoughtfully as he watched the carriage disappear around the corner. It seemed that she was really short of money!
No wonder she chased him for the remaining few thousand taels. If she had enough money, how could she not even give face to her father-in-law?
This brat Xie Ran is really useless. He can't even support his own wife, and he still has to go out and show himself in public.
"You can find a servant who is unfamiliar to you to look after the young mistress's business."
Zhao Er took the order, thought for a moment and asked, "My Lord, how much do I want to buy..."
"Idiot, can't you just follow others and buy whatever they buy? Just follow their lead!"
"Yes."
……
With the experience of the rich shopkeeper as a lesson, the shopkeeper Han of Yuyan Pavilion was honest and dutiful. He would do whatever Gu Jin said.
Gu Jin checked the accounts of Yuyan Pavilion. Although there were some unclear points, the annual income of Yuyan Pavilion was indeed not very good, and Li could not embezzle much money.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Manager Han is at least an experienced old man, so Gu Jin decided to try him out first.
Gu Jin arranged everything perfectly, the only flaw was that there were no guests.
Seeing that there were few customers in front of the store, Manager Han was thinking about how to comfort Gu Jin, when he heard Gu Jin and Ruyi say, "It seems that I am not the only one who likes to sleep in. Why do all the officials and their wives in the capital get up so late?"
Shopkeeper Han: “…” You are really generous.
"Jin'er, here I come!"
The voice came before the person arrived. Murong Qing hurriedly stepped into the door of Yuyan Pavilion, and couldn't help frowning and pursing her lips when she looked at the empty house.
"I didn't expect Jin'er to care about me so much that she actually let me be the first guest of Yuyan Pavilion."
Shopkeeper Han: “?” Did she allow this? Was she forced, okay?
You young people know how to deceive yourselves!
Gu Jin smiled, not getting discouraged because Murong Qing was the only customer. "I see your face has improved a lot."
"That's all thanks to you." Murong Qing smiled as she touched her increasingly smooth skin.
Gu Jin gave her a tube of acne-removing gel and prescribed a detoxifying and heat-relieving prescription. The acne on Murong Qing's face improved visibly.
Of course, what got better was her mood because she made a very good friend.
"Ruyi, pack me a portion of everything in your store!" Murong Qing said generously.
How could she not take care of her good friend's business!
"Ms. Murong, won't you choose carefully?"
Murong Qing waved her hand, "I like everything Jin'er makes."
Besides, how much money can these bottles and jars cost!
Murong Qing was originally smiling calmly until her eyes suddenly caught sight of a small wooden sign next to a box of ointment, on which was clearly written "One Hundred and Eighty-Eight Taels".
"Well...why don't I just go shopping first." Murong Qing twitched her lips in embarrassment.
Murong Qing always thought that swords were expensive, but she didn't expect these little things to be so expensive.
Gu Jin curved his lips to help her out, "Just buy what you need. I'll ask Ruyi to introduce you to something suitable."
"Xiao Jin'er is right. Whether it's things or people, we have to choose the right ones." Li Ziheng, wearing a scarlet long gown with wide sleeves, walked into the house like a peacock spreading its tail.
Gu Jin frowned, "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Jin'er's business is my business, how can I not come to support her?" Li Ziheng waved his folding fan, smiled and curled his lips, his pair of fox eyes sparkling and very seductive.
"Xie Ran is so inconsiderate that he actually left you here all alone. If it were me, I would definitely treat you like a treasure.
Xiao Jin'er, why don't you consider following me?"
Although Li Ziheng had a bad reputation, he was really born with a very good appearance. His tone was soft and quite deceptive at this moment.
Gu Jin curved his lips and smiled, and whispered a few words into Li Ziheng's ear.
Li Ziheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of resentment, "Xiao Jin'er, you are so beautiful, why do you curse so rudely?"
Gu Jin was too lazy to pay attention to him. If he wasn't afraid of damaging the things in the store, he would have kicked him out long ago.
Li Ziheng didn’t mind Gu Jin’s indifference, and looked around and said, “Your store is really deserted.
But come to think of it, you offended the Jiang family so badly a few days ago, who would dare to offend you at this time. "
"What? You mean they didn't get up, but they didn't dare to come?"
Shopkeeper Han: This guy is finally awake!
Gu Jin crossed his index fingers, and the joints made a creepy crackling sound.
The Jiang family could bully her, but blocking her path to wealth would be like killing her parents. From then on, she and the Jiang family were irreconcilable.
Tomorrow morning, no one in the Jiang residence will be able to stand up. If she can't kill them, she loses!
"I'm so sorry, Madam San Shao. I'm late."
A soft female voice sounded behind Gu Jin. Gu Jin turned around and saw Jiang Fengqi standing outside the door, nodding and smiling at her, as elegant and noble as a magnolia flower.
"It's not too late, not too late. Please come in, Miss Jiang." Gu Jin went out with a smile, completely forgetting the twisted and vicious look on his face just now.
Looking at Gu Jin's smiling face, Jiang Fengqi felt full of regret.
She learned all the truth from her second sister. It turned out that her mother had received instructions from the Imperial Concubine to target Gu Jin that day.
It was not that she was unaware of the disputes in the harem, but she had not expected that Mrs. Jiang would harm innocent people just to vent her anger on Princess Jingmin.
As a daughter, she could not ignore Mrs. Jiang's reputation, but her upbringing and character could not make her feel at ease. That was why she came to Yuyan Pavilion today to make up to Gu Jin as much as possible.
In fact, the various families in the Jiang Mansion had been curious about Gu Jin's things, but they were worried that this would anger Mrs. Jiang, so they chose to wait and see from the outside.
Now that they saw Jiang Fengqi enter the store, the officials' wives who had been hiding in the dark and observing rushed in from all directions like moths to a flame.
Seeing this, Gu Jin's smile deepened.
Little fat sheep, come to the bowl quickly!
Gu Jin raised his chin, and Ruyi understood and immediately stepped forward to introduce the products to everyone one by one.
She had memorized these manuscripts for several days and now knew them by heart.
"Can this anti-aging cream really smooth out fine lines and improve dullness on the face?"
"And can pearl cream really make one's skin smooth and creamy?"
"..."
Seeing their eyes full of curiosity, Gu Jin knew the time had come, and he curled his lips and said slowly: "My Yuyan Pavilion is right here. If what I said is not true, you can come to Yongchang Marquis Mansion to find me at any time.
However...these pearl creams are in limited supply each month because of the scarcity of ingredients. Today is the new product launch and everyone can buy one bottle, but starting next month only members of this store can buy it."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what a membership meant.
Gu Jin said concisely: "There are two types of members in our store. A one-time recharge of 1,666 taels to become a supreme member can purchase all the products in our store at any time and enjoy supreme beauty services in the exclusive rooms, including but not limited to slimming and whitening makeup design, and can try all new products first."
Gu Jin pulled over Murong Qing who was watching the fun nearby and said, "I'm sure everyone can see the change in Miss Murong. The products of Yuyan Pavilion must be top-notch."
It is because Murong Qing's change is so exaggerated that everyone yearns for the things in Yuyan Pavilion.
“Ordinary members only need to top up 500 taels to purchase products, but they cannot enjoy these services.
Due to the limited staff of Yuyan Pavilion, we are only accepting 20 supreme members for the time being. The number of places is limited and it is on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't miss this opportunity."
No one knows the power of hunger marketing better than her, and what is important to these high-end users is not the product but the service.
Limited, exclusive, unique, these are temptations that women, especially wealthy women, cannot resist.
Li Ziheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips as he looked at the girl with excited eyes. How on earth did she come up with so many weird ideas?
"Here are two thousand taels. I've recharged it." Li Ziheng slapped two silver bills on the table and raised his eyebrows frivolously at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin's eyes were full of warning, "Sorry, little prince, our restaurant only accepts female guests."
"This is for my future wife, is that not okay?" Li Ziheng's lips curled slightly and his beautiful eyes were like water. Even the flowers on the table seemed to be overshadowed by him.
Gu Jinjie's eyes trembled, and with a fake smile, he took the banknote from Li Ziheng's hand, "Of course, the princess of the county has a husband like this, what else could she ask for? I am really happy for her."
If you don't make money when you have it, you're a bastard. Just take it first.
Li Ziheng curled the corners of his lips, feeling very happy.
"This is the first time I've seen such a novel store. I'll also apply for a supreme membership card." Jiang Fengqi originally wanted to compensate Gu Jin, so naturally she had to support this event.
Seeing that both of them had applied for Supreme Cards, Murong Qing touched the pocket at her waist and gritted her teeth. It was just a year's pocket money.
value!
"Then I want it too!"
When everyone saw that the three spots were used up in such a short time, some people immediately became anxious.
"I'll take one too!" Anyway, the money recharged can be used to buy goods, so it's not a waste.
"I also want!"
Looking at the noble ladies holding up silver bills and scrambling to come forward, Shopkeeper Han was completely dumbfounded.
In the past, they would always nod and fawn to coax people into buying things, and people wouldn't even look up. But today, they are scrambling to spend money in their store. This new owner really has some skills!
After a rush, the new products in the store were almost sold out.
"Ten supreme cards, thirty ordinary cards, a total of more than thirty-one thousand taels of silver!" Shopkeeper Han fiddled with the abacus, his eyes wide open.
This is more than Yuyan Pavilion’s previous annual income!
Gu Jin drank his tea slowly, apparently not surprised by the result.
"Cousin, am I late?" Bai Yiyi walked over like a weak willow in the wind.
She handed the lunch box to Ruyi and said a little embarrassedly, "I was afraid that my cousin would be too busy today and would not have time for lunch, so I specially made some snacks. That's why I'm a little late."
Bai Yiyi had actually arrived a long time ago, but if she had arrived earlier she would have had to pay money to show her support to Gu Jin, and now was just the right time.
"Thank you, cousin." Gu Jin seemed not to notice her little thoughts and said calmly, "Cousin, please feel free to stroll around. If you find anything you like, just let me know."
Although it is impossible to be cheap even at a penny.
Bai Yiyi nodded obediently and said with a gentle smile: "Okay. Cousin, just go and entertain the guests, Yiyi can just watch it by yourself."
She looked around curiously, and her sight seemed to fall on Li Ziheng inadvertently. From his clothes, she quickly judged that this man was either rich or noble.
"Sir, are you here to buy rouge and powder as well?" Bai Yiyi was born clean and pure. She was wearing a plain dress, like a fairy who was not of this world.
Li Ziheng glanced at her indifferently, as if he didn't hear her.
Bai Yiyi looked calm, as if she didn't notice his arrogance and indifference. She still asked with a smile, "Are you my cousin's good friend?"
"Cousin?" Li Ziheng raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. "Are you Gu Jin's cousin?"
Bai Yiyi's eyes moved slightly. It turned out that this person was coming for Gu Jin.
But she didn't show any expression, with a faint smile on her lips, "My cousin's father is my uncle. My cousin and I have always been close and can talk about anything..."
