If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

After returning to the palace, Zhou Wan thought about it and decided to tell his second brother Zhou Yan about the matter.

After listening to this, Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "This woman..."

The woman didn't continue talking about this.

Seeing his sister staring at him with her dark round eyes, Zhou Yan raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead, "Silly girl, don't think too much, just take it if it's given to you. You can get along more with this Qin family, see if she has any other business, and get involved. Girl, earn some pocket money for rouge and powder, who would blame you?"

After hearing what her second brother said, Zhou Wan was delighted and grinned, "Hearing what my second brother said, I feel relieved."

She blinked her eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Grandmother's birthday is coming up in a few days. Should we invite her to our house? If she can get to know more ladies from well-known families and daughters of famous families, maybe she can gain more experience and courage and stop being so timid."

Cringing?

I’m afraid that Qin would sell her silly sister, and this sister would have to happily count money for others.

Zhou Yan laughed, "Have you forgotten that her parents just passed away? She won't come."

However, considering Qin's well-informed status, he will probably make some comments.

Zhou Wan began to worry again, "Second brother, you said that I am now the behind-the-scenes manager of that store, right? Should I send some of my trusted aides over there to help strengthen the store?"

Those wealthy people who bought shares had no choice but to do so. Even if they bought shares, it would not have any deterrent effect.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Qin's only target was her sister.

Zhou Yan said, "All the shopkeepers who can become big in Jinzhou City are very smart. As for what happened today, I'm afraid that as soon as you leave the house, someone will spread the news."

"Don't worry, no one will dare to mess up the Qin family shop from now on. If you want to go, go and take a look. If you don't want to go, that's fine too."

Zhou Wan was even happier when she heard this. She took Zhou Yan's hand, shook it back and forth, pouted and said coquettishly: "Good brother~"

Zhou Yan shuddered, quickly pulled his hand back, touched the little grain on his arm, and said, "You're short of money, right? How much?"

"One thousand taels, thank you, brother!" Zhou Wan jumped up and said, "I will return it to you after I distribute the dividends."

March 26th was the 70th birthday of the old dowager of the Prince of Liang’s Mansion.

Early in the morning, the entire palace was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and it was extremely lively.

Almost all the dignitaries, noble ladies, and young men and women from the three cities in Liangdi, as well as all the prominent families, were present.

The streets for more than ten miles in front of the palace were filled with horse-drawn carriages from various families.

Prince Liang invited a troupe of actors and jugglers, set up a stage in the back garden, and started playing early in the morning.

There were shadowy figures in the front and back yards and gardens, some reciting poems and composing essays, some picking flowers and plants, their clothes of all colors competing with each other in splendor, which were three times more colorful than the blooming flowers.

The old concubine's birthday celebration was also a blind date in disguise.

The daughters of wealthy families and the young men of famous families would choose and meet their ideal persons at this time.

The Xiao family was naturally among the invited guests.

In the back garden, Zhou Wan combed up her thick bangs, revealing her smooth forehead.

The little face was fair and clean, with long willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes and a delicate nose, and the diamond-shaped corners of the lips naturally showed a hint of smile.

When several young ladies saw her, they immediately surrounded her, exclaiming, "Oh my God, Princess, this is the first time I have seen your true face, you are so beautiful!"

"Yes, the princess is really good at picking out the best qualities of the prince and princess. When the princess comes, she outshines all of us."

"My princess also uses the cream from Qin's Rouge Shop, right? So does this servant."

"Oh, me too."

"And I."

A dozen girls gathered together, chattering and laughing, looking at each other's skin.

Zhou Wan started to get pimples on her face when she was twelve years old.

From then on, the veil was welded to her face and was never taken off in public for three years.

Therefore, although these young ladies had known Zhou Wan for a long time, they had not seen her appearance for many years.

From the age of twelve to fifteen, the tender face lost its baby fat and gained more of a girl's shyness and charm.

Like a tender and immature flower bud, it has proudly bloomed when we see it again.

The young lady from the Xiao family who was wearing a veil behind them looked at each other and lowered her head in grievance.

Zhou Wan took a quick look and quickly went over to ask, "Sister Fu, why are you still wearing a veil? Aren't you guys using that rouge cream?"

As for the other young ladies of the Xiao family, except for Xiao Yun, the concubine of the Xiao family, their faces are not good to look at compared with those of the other young ladies.

Girls who used the cream from Qin’s shop had fair and tender faces. Even if they were only 50% pretty originally, they would look 70% to 80% pretty.

The young ladies of the Xiao family are all good-looking, but they lose because of their skin.

Xiao Fu lowered her head in grievance and said in a sobbing voice, "Grandma won't let me."

When Zhou Wan heard it, she immediately understood.

After knowing the reason, she changed the subject.

Xiao Fu and the others felt more aggrieved when they saw this, but they were at a loss as to what to ask the princess for help.

So, in the bustling flower pavilion, everyone was talking and laughing, but several young ladies from the Xiao family sat silently aside, looking out of place with the lively atmosphere.

Zhou Wan was the host and it was not appropriate for him to neglect his guests, and Xiao Fu was a frequent visitor to the royal palace.

She thought about it, asked her sister to help her entertain the guests, and took several young ladies from the Xiao family to her courtyard.

Zhou Wan took out the cream she was using and told the maid, "Go get some water and wash the ladies' faces."

After washing their faces, they asked their maids to apply ointment on them.

After they had packed up, he said, "Are you stupid? Why don't you send someone to look for me?"

Zhou Wan said proudly: "Now this princess is also the shopkeeper of Qin's shop. You can tell the old lady that you want to take care of this princess' business and see if she agrees."

Xiao Fu not only envied Zhou Wan's face, but also envied her wallet in her heart.

She had heard that not only the princess, but also many young ladies had invested in Qin's shop.

Qin was the first one to send rouge cream to the Xiao Mansion. If grandmother hadn't been worried that others would covet Sixth Brother, maybe they could have gotten a share of it.

Their monthly allowance was only a pitiful five taels. If they could have some income to supplement their income and buy a flower hairpin, they wouldn't have to be so stingy.

It's better now.

The kindness shown to South City Gate in the past had already been repaid a long time ago.

Since his grandmother didn't like him, he just skipped the Xiao Mansion and turned to the princess of the Prince Liang's Mansion.

As they were talking, there was a sudden noise outside.

Zhou Wan hurriedly called someone, "Go and ask what happened?"

Not long after, the maid came back and said, "My lord, Manager Qin sent someone to give the Dowager Concubine a birthday gift. It's a pair of red corals more than two feet high, and a jade screen with pine and crane carvings."

Yesterday, Zhou Wan thought about it and decided to tell her grandmother about the rouge shop.

I also obtained my grandmother's consent and sent a message to Qin Shu.

As expected, what Qin Shu said was the same as her second brother: the person had not arrived, but the gift had.
