Chapter 112 Qingyaxuan Daily Necessities

After returning home, Lin Wanfeng witnessed firsthand how amazing the sanitary napkins Ruan Mumu had used for her were, and how comfortable the underwear was to wear.

As she was about to go to the magistrate's wife with the unused sanitary napkin and another pair of underwear that Ruan Mumu had given her, the magistrate's wife also happened to come to see her.

"Feng'er, Xiaolian told me that you had your period at Linglong Pavilion today and soiled your clothes?" the magistrate's wife asked with concern.

Lin Wanfeng is their only daughter. They had three sons before her, and they finally had a precious daughter. They doted on her to the core. When they heard that their daughter had encountered such an embarrassing situation outside, they had to rush over to comfort her.

“Mom, there was a bit of a problem, but a girl helped me a lot. She gave me a dress and these other things, which are very useful.”

After Lin Wanfeng finished speaking, she handed the things in her hand to her mother.

The magistrate's wife looked through these items and asked, "What are all these?"

Lin Wanfeng then enthusiastically explained the uses of these things to the county magistrate's wife, and also shared her feelings after using them: "Mother, this thing is really amazing."

Not only is it comfortable to use, but it also solves many problems, making it a true blessing for women.

The magistrate's wife listened with skepticism and asked, "What use could such a small piece of something possibly have?"

Seeing that her mother didn't believe her, but wanting to convince her that the thing was indeed very useful, Lin Wanfeng instructed her maid, Xiaolian, to pour her a cup of tea.

"Mother, watch carefully." After Lin Wanfeng finished speaking, she spread out a small piece of paper, and then Xiaolian poured a cup of water on it.

The water was absorbed quickly, and not a drop leaked out.

Seeing this, the magistrate's wife finally believed that what her daughter had said was true.

"Feng'er, I wonder if this thing is expensive?" the magistrate's wife asked.

“Mother, I didn’t ask about that. How about we go and take a look tomorrow?” Lin Wanfeng suggested.

"Does this thing sell?" The magistrate's wife thought she was a well-traveled person, and this was something she had never seen before, let alone something so exquisitely made.

Lin Wanfeng put her arm around her mother's shoulder and said, "Today, Miss Ruan said that if we want to buy something, we can just go to Qingyaxuan Daily Necessities Department Store and find her to buy it. I guess that girl must be the owner's daughter."

The magistrate's wife was no stranger to the Qingyaxuan shop; it had recently become famous throughout Xiyang County for its unique and ingenious products.

"Feng'er, if we go to their store and buy some soap and shampoo and have someone deliver them to your aunt, she'll be very happy, won't she?" the magistrate's wife asked her daughter for her opinion.

“Yes, Mother, Aunt will be very happy if she can use those things.” Lin Wanfeng was also very happy to hear her mother say this, even though she hadn’t thought of it at the moment.

Lin Wanfeng's aunt, Lin Tingting, is the magistrate's sister. She is now the emperor's concubine and has a son and a daughter. The children are already five years old.

Lin Tingting already held a low rank, and due to the Lin family's affairs, the emperor didn't like her at all.

Until six years ago, the emperor suddenly favored her one day, and she was fortunate enough to become pregnant with twins.

Because she gave birth to a son and a daughter, the emperor bestowed upon her the title of Consort Lin.

However, after giving birth, the emperor would only favor her once every two or three months. Although she now lives a life free from worries about food and clothing, she is no longer favored by the emperor, and her children are not well received by him either.

"Mother, Aunt's life in the palace is not easy. Let's buy more and give some to her so that she and her children can have a better life in the palace," Lin Wanfeng said, expressing her idea.

The magistrate's wife looked at her daughter's obedient and sensible appearance and nodded in satisfaction.

She patted her daughter's head and said, "Good, good, good. We should buy more of these good things so that your aunt can use them herself in the palace."

"Mother, you said this thing is so good, do you think if we promote it, it can help Miss Ruan and the women around us?" Lin Wanfeng asked tentatively.

The magistrate's wife was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Oh dear, Feng'er's suggestions are always good. I'll go and spread the word tomorrow. These are all good things, and essential items for women. I'll tell all the ladies about them."

"Wan'er, Feng'er, what are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time." Magistrate Lin walked in from outside without anyone noticing.

Upon hearing her father's voice, Lin Wanfeng immediately pouted and said, "Dad, don't you even knock before coming in? We were talking about women's little secrets!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Magistrate Lin quickly coaxed her, "Alright, alright, Father was wrong. Next time, Father will knock before coming in."

"Master, Feng'er ran into some trouble outside today, but fortunately a young lady helped her."

Feng'er said that the woman seemed to be the daughter of the owner of Qingyaxuan. The magistrate's wife did not elaborate on what Lin Wanfeng had encountered that day, but changed the subject.

Upon hearing the name Qingyaxuan, Magistrate Lin's spirits immediately lifted.

He was familiar with this shop. It had become a household name in just a few days since it opened, with everyone saying that the products there were excellent.

Most importantly, the products there are not only useful, but also unlike anything I've ever seen elsewhere. Anyone with a slightly better financial situation would want to buy them and try them out.

Since the opening of Qingyaxuan Daily Necessities Store, the area has consistently seen a high volume of foot traffic, and many well-established businesses have quietly purchased shops on that street.

"Oh! Feng'er, you actually know the shopkeeper?" Magistrate Lin asked with great interest.

Lin Wanfeng was not too surprised to see that her father knew about this store, but it was the first time she had seen him so interested in this kind of daily necessities store.

So she asked curiously, "Does Father also want to buy things from there?"

Magistrate Lin smiled at his daughter and said, "The hair washing products we've been using lately, your mother said, were bought from a newly opened daily necessities store. After using them, my hair feels very comfortable and has a pleasant fragrance."

Lin Wanfeng nodded in agreement: "Yes, that shampoo is really good. After using it, my hair is smooth and smells nice!"

And that shower gel is great too! My skin feels silky smooth after showering, and it smells lovely.

Madam Lin gently patted her daughter's head and scolded her, "You silly girl, aren't you ashamed? How can you discuss such a thing as bathing with your father?"

Lin Wanfeng looked to Magistrate Lin for help: "Father... Mother loves to nag me the most."

Mrs. Lin smiled helplessly, because her husband was also a doting father to his daughter.

They're always worried about upsetting their daughter, even if she pouts. If any of the three boys in the family dare to upset their little sister, they'll definitely get a scolding.

Magistrate Lin smiled indulgently and said, "It's fine to talk about it at home, but don't discuss bathing with people casually when you go out, especially if the other person is a man. Absolutely not, understand?"

Lin Wanfeng nodded obediently.

Magistrate Lin then asked, "Feng'er, if you really know that person as the master's daughter, then ask her if you can buy a few more. I'd like to ask someone to take them back to the capital for your grandparents to try."

Recently, Qingyaxuan's products have been selling exceptionally well, to the point where we need to control the volume and sales.

Therefore, Ruan Mumu proposed this scarcity marketing strategy.

Following Ruan Mumu's instructions, Li Shu limited each person to purchasing five products per day to prevent others from using their name to profit from the price difference.

Ruan Mumu provided number tags, with a maximum of two thousand tags issued each day. People used their number tags to select products before they could settle their accounts. Without a number tag, they would not be settled.

Lin Wanfeng had asked Xiaolian to buy things before, so she naturally knew the current rules of Qingyaxuan. When she heard her father ask her this, she couldn't immediately agree.

Ruan Mumu hadn't made any explicit promises to her before, only saying that if she was interested, she could go and take a look.

"Dad, I'll go with Mom to take a look tomorrow. I'll ask Mumu if we can buy more, because we're also thinking of buying some for Aunt Tingting."

"I'll let you know when I get back, is that alright?" Lin Wanfeng didn't dare to make a promise easily, afraid of putting Ruan Mumu in a difficult position.

"Alright, Feng'er, you should talk to that girl properly when the time comes," Magistrate Lin said with a smile.

Although he was a county magistrate, he did not abuse his power to bully others.

In fact, he shouldn't have been in this remote border region. His father was already the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review ten years ago, and was about to be promoted to Minister of the Court of Judicial Review when the emperor suddenly passed away. The princes used all their strength, and in the end, the eldest prince seized the throne.

The Lin family was implicated because of their previous relationship with Prince Qing.

He was also sent to this remote place as a seventh-rank county magistrate, where he stayed for ten years.

“Okay, Father, I think Mu Mu is very easy to talk to, so it shouldn’t be a big problem,” Lin Wanfeng said.

The next day, just as the hour of Si (9-11 AM) arrived, Lin Wanfeng and his wife boarded a carriage and headed to Qingyaxuan.

"Madam and Miss, please come in. Here are your number tags, please take them." Li Xiaohua, Li Shu's daughter, was the one who greeted the mother and daughter at Qingyaxuan. She handed Lin Wanfeng a number tag that showed "9".

People who come here to buy things don't understand what this represents; they just need a number to select items, so they just need to take it.

"Excuse me, is Miss Ruan Mumu in the shop?" Lin Wanfeng asked politely.

"Miss, are you Miss Lin, a friend of our master? Our master instructed us yesterday that if Miss Lin comes, please go to the backyard. Our master should be up by now," Li Xiaohua said with a smile.

"Ah? Miss Ruan is your boss?" Lin Wanfeng was very surprised. She thought Ruan Mumu was just the boss's daughter!

Li Xiaohua smiled and replied, "Yes."

Lin Wanfeng took Madam Lin's hand and followed Li Xiaohua to the backyard.

"Sister Wan, you've arrived? This must be Madam Lin over here. Hello, Madam Lin." Ruan Mumu was just about to go to the front hall when she saw Li Xiaohua leading Lin Wanfeng into the backyard.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect there to be such a small business owner! You're really capable." Mrs. Lin replied with a smile.

"Mumu, I never expected you to be the owner here!" Lin Wanfeng greeted Ruan Mumu warmly and took her arm.

Ruan Mumu also took Lin Wanfeng's arm, looking every bit like close sisters.

Just kidding! Forget about linking arms, we should definitely cling to this powerful figure!

"Did you come here today to see what happened yesterday, Sister Wan?" Ruan Mumu asked.

She's a businesswoman and can't afford to miss business opportunities, so she has to take the initiative.

“Yes! I brought my mother here to take a look. She found the things you gave me yesterday very amazing and was thinking of buying some as gifts!” Lin Wanfeng said.

Ruan Mumu led the two into a room, and Xiao Chun followed by bringing in tea and snacks.

Then Aunt Li came in and bowed to the group.

"Madam, Miss, would you like to look at women's products?" Aunt Li asked politely.

Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement.

"Madam, Miss, please follow me." Aunt Li said, leading the way.

Lin Wanfeng, holding Madam Lin's hand, followed Aunt Li into the inner room, and Ruan Mumu followed behind.

In addition to sanitary napkins for women, the inner room also contained underwear.

Lin Wanfeng was already quite surprised when she saw underwear yesterday.

Today she saw all kinds of lingerie, and pointing at it, she asked, "Mumu, what is this?"

"This is called underwear, and it's similar to what we call a bellyband," Ruan Mumu explained.

Then he went on to explain all the benefits of women wearing modern underwear, and analyzed why a bellyband is inferior to underwear.

"Mumu, where did these underwear come from? You're so young, yet you know so much. I'm so impressed with you," Lin Wanfeng praised.
