Song Yuntang pursed his lips. These days, Uncle Cheng and Song Mazi were leading everyone to do the finishing work. The tavern would probably be completed on August 26th. By then, all the things that needed to be purchased and decorated would be arranged. The 28th was a good day and a good number, just right for the opening.

Thinking of this, she felt as if she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It is really not easy to support so many people and shops.

On second thought, she was getting married the day after tomorrow. Should she buy some rouge and powder to use? This was the only time in her life, and after she put on her wedding dress, she couldn't just go out with her bare face like she did every day.

Thinking of this, she had already planned what to do for tomorrow.

……

The next morning, Song Yuntang led Chen and a mule loaded with two buckets of ice water to the tavern.

She first taught Chen how to make sour plum soup, and then went to Taoxiang Pavilion on North Street alone.

There is only one shop selling cosmetics in the entire Cile Town.

Other shops also sell the same thing, but not only is the quality not as good as this one, but I don’t know how long the items have been stored.

If you end up with a messed up face, it will not be worth it.

The last time they came to Taoxiang Pavilion, she brought Mu Qiu to recommend shampoo to them, but they were rejected by the maid of Taoxiang Pavilion. If they had thought of the need for rouge earlier, they would have brought it back from the county town two days ago.

However, she doesn't plan to buy too much.

There is a piece of white cloth hanging on the door of Taoxia Pavilion. This is an old custom. When a family member of the owner dies, the descendants will hang a white cloth on the door for a month to commemorate the deceased owner.

"What do you want to see, young lady?"

The one who received her was the same woman as last time. She had two small flowers on her hair, one yellow and one white, close together. It looked quite unique, but her face had the same arrogance as last time, which destroyed the harmony.

Obviously, she hadn't been there for a while and had forgotten Song Yuntang.

Song Yuntang walked into the store calmly.

"Which rouge do you have that's best?"

The woman walked up to Song Yuntang with a smile and handed him a box of rouge with the most exquisite packaging and the most expensive price.

"This is a new model in our shop. You can try it on, young lady." His eyes turned and he added, "It's not cheap, though. If you can't afford it, I can recommend something else for you."

I thought Song Yuntang would just pretend to be rich.

But who would have thought that she just raised her eyebrows slightly, looked in her direction, and pointed to a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old not far away.

"I want her to introduce the products to me."

The woman was angry.

"you!"

"Cai Ping, don't be rude to our guests!" A middle-aged man came from the backyard and sternly stopped the woman. Then he greeted Song Yuntang with a smile. "Miss, Cai Ping, what did you do wrong just now? I hope you can give us some valuable suggestions so we can find opportunities to improve."

Song Yuntang curled his lips and smiled.

"Nothing, I just think she's quite snobbish. I ran into this girl the last time I came here, and because I was dressed a little plainly, she wasn't even allowed into the Peach Box Pavilion."

The shopkeeper was stunned.

"Is there such a thing?"

Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "The shopkeeper should have heard of Yujun Pavilion on Heyang Street, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it. Their pills are excellent, and many of our customers rave about them." The shopkeeper praised them wholeheartedly.

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "To be honest, Shopkeeper, the last time I came here, I wanted to discuss a business deal with you. If I hadn't been turned away by that girl, perhaps all the business in Yujun Pavilion would have gone to Taoxia Pavilion now."

Not only Caiping next to her, but even the shopkeeper was surprised.

"Then Yujun Pavilion is the young lady's property?"

"How is that possible?" Caiping couldn't believe it.

Song Yuntang raised his hand and took a box of rouge from the shelf and took a look. "The pills sold in Yujun Pavilion are indeed made by me, but the owner is someone else."

The shopkeeper was jealous. "May I know your name, young lady? Would you consider our Taoxia Pavilion?"

"Cile Town is just a small temple, it can't accommodate so many Bodhisattvas. Yujun Pavilion is already one step ahead. It's too late for the shopkeeper to interfere in this business." Song Yuntang felt that the rouge in his hand was a little rough, so he put it back in its place. "Besides, I have already signed a contract with the owner of Yujun Pavilion. These pills will only be supplied to him and his family."

The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "Miss, you don't know that our Taoxia Pavilion has more than one shop. Our owners are the Wang family of Anyang County. The Wang family's businesses are all in nearby towns. If you are willing to supply us with goods, I promise you won't suffer any loss."

He had seen that pill before, and it was much more powerful than some cosmetics.

It changes people from the inside out.

If he can make this cooperation happen, he will definitely be included in the year-end bonus.

Caiping had been warned before that she should not be snobbish towards others, but she relied on the fact that she was a servant transferred from the Wang family to stir up trouble again and again.

He couldn't punish her, so when his master came to inspect the shop, he would tell Zhuzi about the situation.

"The Wang family in the county town?" Song Yuntang asked, considering the white cloth hanging at the entrance of Taoxia Pavilion and the yellow and white flowers pinned in the maids' hair. "Is this the Wang family whose mistress recently passed away from a heart attack?"

The shopkeeper nodded quickly.

"Exactly. Miss, do you know our boss?"

Song Yuntang curled his lips and smiled, that was quite a coincidence.

It had only been a few days since I returned from the autopsy at Wang's house in the county town, and I didn't expect to run into Wang's property in town.

"We met by chance."

The shopkeeper laughed out loud.

"Since you are acquainted with our boss, you should know what kind of people he is. Moreover, now is the time for our young boss to take over the Wang family's business. If you can reach a cooperation with us, it will be a great thing for the young boss."

In a trance, Song Yuntang's mind emerged with the sixteen-year-old boy Wang Hongxuan from the Wang family who sought justice for his mother.

He seems to be a good person, at least much better than his foolish father.

Apart from anything else, she has done the Wang family a favor, so Wang Hongxuan will not easily play tricks on her. Now she has to support so many people and the expenses are huge, so it is always good to have an extra income.

"It's not impossible to consider."

"I wonder when the young lady is free? If it is convenient, I can send a letter to the county town and ask our young master to come and talk to the young lady in person." The shopkeeper had a flattering look on his face.

"On August 25th, at 9:00 PM, I will come to Taoxia Pavilion in person to discuss this with your young master. No later than this time." Song Yuntang said, looking again at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in the corner. "Please, young lady, help me recommend rouge, eyebrow pencil, and lip balm."

The girl was about to step forward, but after being glared at by Caiping, she immediately stopped timidly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper said seriously, "Yulan, why don't you introduce this girl to me?"

Then he looked at Song Yuntang and said, "Miss, it was my maid in the shop who was not sensible today. I will report to the young master for punishment. I hope you can forgive me."
