Song Ning nodded and explained to them seriously: "I have opened such a shop. It does sell things that women like and can use, from head to toe. As long as I can think of something that women need, I will try my best to make it and sell it."

"Women like silk, satin, rouge, powder, gold and silver jewelry, and various embroidered sachets. What else do they like besides these?"

Fang counted on her fingers and listed all the items she could think of, but when she thought about it carefully, these were not rare objects!

For silks and satins, one could go to Jinxiufang; for rouge and powder, one could go to Hongzhuangge; for gold and silver jewelry, one had to go to Jubaoge; as for various embroidered sachets, there was no shortage of embroidery workshops in the capital, and all the things she listed could be found on the main street of South Street.

"What sister-in-law said is not surprising, but you may need to go to different shops to buy everything. Although my shop is not as good as the one in the capital, it is small but complete. You can buy everything in several shops in one go. This is the advantage of my shop."

"Besides, my shop sells more than just these things." Song Ning smiled slightly and kept it a secret: "Sisters-in-law, why don't you make a bold guess? Just think about it, what do you want but find it difficult to say, and what you think is impossible for anyone to sell."

"This..." The sisters-in-law looked at each other in bewilderment, "You've really stumped us."

The old lady listened with a loving look on her face, and what she said aroused her curiosity.

"Just tell me! Even an old woman like me is very curious!"

Seeing that the old lady had spoken, Song Ning stopped keeping the secret and smiled mysteriously, covering her mouth: "To be honest, aunts and sisters-in-law, I have prepared some special gifts for you today. I hope you don't dislike them."

Looking at Song Ning's mysterious appearance, everyone became more and more impatient.

"What are these?" The Second Madam was impatient. She waved her hand and ordered the servants to fetch the things. "Go and fetch the things that Madam Hang brought."

Song Ning turned to Qingshuang who was waiting beside him and said, "Qingshuang, you should go! I'm afraid they don't know which ones they are."

Those things were sorted and packed by Qingshuang, so it was most appropriate to let Qingshuang pick them up.

Qingshuang responded, turned around and followed the servants out.

Soon, Qingshuang and the servants returned to the main room, each holding a package or brocade box in their hands.

"Bring it here quickly, let me take a look."

The Second Lady waved to them to bring the package to her so that she could open it and check it herself.

The eldest lady was not to be outdone, so she went over to help her dismantle it. The younger wives had no choice but to squeeze aside and watch the fun.

Song Ning watched with a smile, feeling emotional in her heart that no matter where they went, women seemed unable to resist the pleasure of unpacking packages.

The first thing the second wife opened was a square brocade box. When she opened it, she saw some small square boxes neatly packed inside. A rich and pleasant fragrance overflowed from the box as soon as she opened it, and immediately the whole room was filled with fragrance.

"Ah! What's in here? Why does it smell so good?"

"These are body lotions. I came up with them when I was free." Song Ning took out one of the small square boxes and opened it, then took out the porcelain bottle inside. He unscrewed the lid, put a little body lotion on his hand and rubbed it on the second wife's wrist. "This body lotion can last all day long if you put it on your body, or you can put some on a handkerchief and put it in the closet to use as incense."

The second wife raised her hand and smelled her wrist. The smell was fragrant but not greasy. She really liked it.

"Is this the scent of lotus? It's much better than ordinary incense." As she said this, she picked up the exquisitely crafted small square box and took a look at it, only to find that the word lotus was engraved on the box.

"Yes, the raw material used in this bottle of perfume is lotus." Song Ning only brought a few flavors this time, and she introduced them one by one, "There are also osmanthus, orchid, and chrysanthemum. There are different varieties of chrysanthemum, and the flavors are different."

After listening to her introduction, the second lady looked eagerly at the remaining items in the brocade box. She wanted to take them all for herself.

The eldest lady knew her best. She saw through her thoughts at a glance and immediately took the brocade box to protect it.

"Second brother's wife, you can't be too greedy. We all have a share of these fragrant dews."

"Sister-in-law, in your eyes am I that greedy person?" The Second Madam smiled unhappily. She would never admit it.

The eldest lady ignored her and turned to ask the old lady first: "Mother, please pick one too! It is at least a token of the child's love."
