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

When Zhou Wan arrived at her grandmother's room, she happened to hear the maid from the Qin residence who had come to deliver gifts answering her grandmother's question, "To answer the Dowager Concubine, the eldest daughter said that if it were a normal day, she would definitely come to pay her respects to the Dowager Concubine. But today is the Dowager Concubine's big day, and the eldest daughter's parents have just passed away. She is unlucky, so it's better to avoid her."

The Toffee said "hmm" and smiled, "He is a very particular child."

Zhou Wan walked to her grandmother, knelt down and bowed, then turned around and asked, "Where is Sister Qin? I haven't seen her in the shop for several days."

Madam Liu bowed and said, "In reply to the princess, the eldest lady has gone to the farm."

Zhou Wan was curious, "What are you going to do on the farm?"

"My lord, when Master Qin was alive, he brought back some seeds from foreign countries. He said that these seeds were not found in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were drought-resistant and high-yielding. Unfortunately, Master Qin met with disaster before he had the chance to try planting them."

Madam Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "In order to fulfill the master's last wish, the eldest lady took the seeds to the farm and tried to plant them herself."

After these words were spoken, everyone present had different expressions.

Old Madam Xiao subconsciously glanced at Nanny Yu beside her, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

The dowager concubine's eyes were red with emotion. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Poor thing, such a filial and smart child, it's really hard for her."

Then he took Zhou Wan's hand and said, "When the girl from the Qin family returns to the city, you must bring her here for me to see. Remember?"

Zhou Wan held the concubine's hand and acted coquettishly, "Oh no, what if grandma likes Sister Qin and doesn't like Wan'er anymore?"

Toffee smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, "I like them all. But remember?"

Zhou Wan said: "Yes, Wan'er will obey the order of the Concubine Dowager."

The Concubine Dowager had Madam Liu brought down to receive the reward, and then took everyone to see the gifts sent by Qin Shu.

Red coral symbolizes "wealth and good fortune", which is an excellent omen.

The one Qin Shu sent was a pair of identical heights, bright red and extremely rare.

There is also the hollow jade screen, which is obviously the work of a master. The most precious thing is the red tops of the pines, cypresses and cranes, which are the natural color of jade.

Among the several gifts received by Prince Liang's Mansion, these three gifts were neither conspicuous nor valuable enough.

It's quite satisfactory.

The concubine smiled and said, "It can be seen that this girl from the Qin family is very careful and thoughtful in her work. It's rare for her to be so young."

She looked back at Zhou Wan, and then smiled and said to the old princesses around her: "Wan'er's face was also cured by the rouge cream used by the Qin family girl. You can also ask the children in your family to try it."

Everyone agreed and followed the concubine's wishes, praising the Qin family shop a little.

By the end, the smile on Mrs. Xiao's face could hardly be maintained.

After waiting for the birthday banquet to end, Madam Xiao returned home and looked at her granddaughters under the lamp. Seeing that they all looked listless and in poor spirits, she asked, "Look at you all, you seem to have lost your soul. What happened?"

Xiao Fu bravely said, "Grandma, today my granddaughter heard from the princess that she also invested in the rouge shop. The princess also invited my granddaughter to visit the shop when she has time."

The girls from other families all have skin that is smooth, tender and as smooth as a baby's.

When I compare it with my own, I can’t bear to look at it.

Old Madam Xiao didn't sleep well at night, and there was a lot of noise all day today. She was already upset and had a splitting headache.

She pressed her temples irritably, sighed deeply and said, "Okay, if you like it, go buy it. Go ahead."

Xiao Fu and the others didn't dare to cheer. They bit their lips and forced themselves to leave while suppressing their joy.

On the next day, the young ladies of the Xiao family immediately called a carriage and went out with their maids.

When we arrived at North Fourth Street, we saw a crowd of people standing at the intersection from a distance.

When I got closer, I realized that those people were queuing up to buy rouge and powder from Qin's shop.

Some people left happily, while others looked depressed.

Xiao Fu called over the frustrated woman who had just walked over and asked, "Why, have all the things in this shop been sold out?"

The woman said, "No. But now if you want to buy something in Qin's shop, you need to bring your VIP card to have priority."

Xiao Fu was puzzled. "VIP card? What VIP card?"

Someone walked by and took out a copper card. "Here, this is it. This is a copper card, and you can get it only if you spend 200 taels at a time. I heard there are also gold and silver cards. But I've only seen silver cards, not gold cards."

Another woman came over and said, "I heard that the gold card is only given away, not sold. It is reserved for the most distinguished customers in the store. If you don't have a card, don't wait. The people in the line ahead of you all have cards."

Xiao Fu was stunned for a long time and asked the maid to go to the store to see if Zhou Wan was there.

If Zhou Wan were here, they could buy it without a card.

The maid returned quickly and said, "Miss, the princess is not here, and neither is the shopkeeper Qin. There are only a few female employees in the store. I asked them, and they said that the shopkeeper and the princess are not here, so they dare not make decisions on their own."

Xiao Fu had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

After returning to the Xiao Mansion, several Miss Xiao went to pay their respects to the old lady.

Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, the old lady asked, "Didn't I ask you to buy rouge and cream?"

Xiao Fu couldn't help but complain, "You can't buy it. You need a VIP card to buy it."

Madam Xiao was stunned, and suddenly thought of the card she had melted, and asked quickly, "What card?"

"VIP card." Xiao Fu replied, "Actually, you don't need a card, but you have to rely on the VIP cardholders first. The store has a fixed daily sales amount. The cardholders alone are not enough to buy, and those without cards can't buy anything at all."

Xiao Sheng also said, "I heard that there are three types of cards: gold, silver, and bronze. You have to buy 500 taels and 200 taels of silver to get the silver and bronze cards. The gold card is only given away, not sold, and it is said that it is reserved for the most distinguished customers of the store. If there is a gold card, even if there is only one box left in the store, you have to buy it according to the gold card."

Xiao Yan said: "Yes, but there are only so many people with silver and bronze cards. Those without cards can't even get in line."

Madam Xiao and Aunt Yu looked at each other and asked, "Is the princess not here? If she were, you can buy it without a card, right?"

Xiao Fu pouted and said, "The princess is not in the store. I heard that Shopkeeper Qin is not going, so the princess is not going either."

Madam Xiao snorted coldly and said, "It's just a small rouge shop. Isn't it good enough if someone buys it? Why do you have so many fancy things?"

Xiao Yan sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. The things in their store are so popular. If we don't use a card, they'll be sold out as soon as the store opens. If we go too late, we won't be able to get anything."

Xiao Sheng suddenly said, "I heard that the original price of a box of cream in their store is fifty taels. Gold card holders can get half price, silver card holders can get 25% off, and bronze card holders can get 95% off. Those who hold silver cards can buy it and then resell it, and a box can be sold for more than sixty or seventy taels."

Madam Xiao took a breath, “So expensive?”

Xiao Fu said: "It's still impossible to grab it even with this."

Compared to face, what is money?

For those with mild acne scars on their faces, less than half a box may be enough.

The whole family can buy one box and several girls can share it, so it is not expensive.

The best rouge in other shops costs twenty taels of silver a box.
