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

After coming out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Qin Shu just returned to the store and saw two maids returning the money for two cream boxes.

In Qin Shu's shop in the capital, any rouge or cream sold from the shop could be exchanged for two taels of silver as long as the customer used up the rouge or cream and brought the old box back to buy a new one next time.

There are many wealthy people in the capital, and the cream sells very well.

But I have rarely seen anyone using an old box as collateral.

After all, someone who can afford dozens of taels of silver to buy a box of cream doesn't care about one or two taels of silver.

Especially those who come with boxes and ask for a refund.

Money is a small matter, face is a big matter.

If a mansion is so fussy about even this little bit of silver, I'm afraid this mansion will eventually become impoverished and destitute.

The girls in the shop were a little embarrassed because they had never dealt with such incidents before.

The shopkeeper only said that it could be compensated, but did not say that it could be refunded.

The two girls were so angry that they started quarreling with the girls in the shop.

When Qin Shu entered the room, she heard the tallest maid arrogantly say, "Do you know where our house is? It's so funny, how could we be short of these few taels of silver?"

"Since you won't refund me, why write it in big letters on the notice at the door? If you write it but don't refund me, what else can you say but fraud?"

"Don't be so arrogant just because you got rewarded for growing a little grain. In this capital, a merchant is no different from a beggar on the street. How dare you go against our Madam Lu?"

The girl Wen'er is pretty, good-tempered and not good at speaking.

These days, people who come to the store are all polite. Even if there are some who don't treat people well, they have never been so unreasonable.

Today is the first time in history.

Wen'er was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't know what to do.

Qin Shu walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Before Wen'er could open her mouth, the tall girl came forward, pointed at Qin Shu's nose and asked, "Are you Shopkeeper Qin?"

Qin Shu lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the finger that was about to poke her nose, and said with a slight curl of her lips: "That's right."

The girl held two boxes in her hands and raised her chin high as she said, "This is the rouge cream our lady bought from your store. Since you wrote that the empty boxes can be exchanged for silver, and our lady doesn't want to continue using them, why can't you return the silver?"

Qin Shu extended her hand toward her.

The girl was startled and asked sharply: "What are you doing?!"

"Give me the box."

Qin Shu's voice was very gentle and her smile was as warm as spring breeze.

The girl's arrogance immediately disappeared a little bit, and she handed the box to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu turned the box over and looked at the base. A dark light flashed in her eyes and she smiled gently, "Excuse me, what is your residence?"

The girl snorted and said, "Lu Mansion."

Qin Shu turned and walked towards the counter, asking as she walked, "Which Lu Mansion? I don't mean anything else. Since you bought something from our store, you are a distinguished guest of our store."

"Wen'er is new here and doesn't know the rules. I'll ask her to apologize to the two girls later."

Then he winked at Wen'er and said, "Wen'er, go make a cup of milk tea for the two girls."

After sending Wen'er away, Qin Shu asked, "Mrs. Lu, since you have already bought two boxes of rouge, if you buy two more boxes and the total amount reaches 200 taels, you can get a copper card. If you come to buy again in the future, you can buy at a discounted price."

She smiled slightly, picked up the pen and opened the account book, "Miss, please tell me, I will write it down."

The girl's eyes flickered a little, and she stammered, "What do you want to remember? Our wife doesn't think it's very useful, and she won't buy it again in the future."

Qin Shu was a little surprised. "Oh? I have another store in Jinzhou, and I've never received any bad reviews. Since Madam thinks it's not good, I can't let your Madam spend her money in vain."

"Why don't you ask your wife to come over, and I can prepare a cream specifically for her based on her skin condition until she's satisfied?"

The girl was obviously moved, but the girl next to her pulled her hard.

Then her expression became firm. "No need. Our lady won't let you return the money for the cream. Just return the money for these two boxes."

Qin Shu had no choice but to put down her pen. "That's such a pity."

She smiled and suddenly asked, "Lu Mansion? Is it the residence of Lord Lu, the commander of the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion?"

The girl looked embarrassed and said forcefully, "It's good that you know!"

Qin Shu smiled unchanged, took out four taels of silver from the silver box, and handed it to the girl with both hands, "Here are four taels of silver, please keep it well, young lady."

The girl put the silver into her purse and turned away.

Qin Shu saw Wen'er coming over with two cups of milk tea and waved at her.

After the two girls left the room, Qin Shu picked up the two empty boxes, opened the lids and took a look.

The cream inside was wiped clean, but fingerprints were clearly visible.

This shows that people who use the cream take good care of it and don't waste any of it.

And the box has a white bottom.

The boxes she made have four types of bottoms: one with gold line, one with silver line, one with flowers, and one with a white bottom.

Corresponding to gold card, silver card, bronze card and ordinary customers respectively.

This kind of white base is what ordinary customers spend one hundred taels to buy two boxes of cream.

According to the intelligence sent by Feng San, Lu Fei was originally a wandering knight in the martial arts world. After marrying Zhang Cheng's cousin, he established a relationship with Zhang Cheng.

Under Zhang Cheng's operation, Lu Fei first recognized the former commander of the imperial guards as his adoptive father and successfully entered the Southern Court. Later, he was assigned to Prince Yu and became a guard in Prince Yu's mansion.

Although this person is a scoundrel, he is very good at socializing and is doing very well in the Southern Court.

But within a few years, he was promoted to the commander of the guards in Prince Yu's palace.

However, he was addicted to gambling and his bad habits were hard to change. Not only did he lose all the wealth he had earned, but even his wife's dowry was lost.

Occasionally, when I win some money, I would like to go to Huamanlou for a quickie.

After Lu Fei instigated Sheng Li and teamed up with Qin Jingchang to murder Qin Jingyuan, Qin Jingchang's plan to seize the property of the East Palace failed and Lu Fei did not get any benefit.

He was also severely reprimanded by Prince Yu and fined one year's salary.

Some time ago, after Zhang Cheng, Lu Fei's backer, died at the hands of Qin Shu, Lu Fei was completely sidelined.

His position in the Southern Court suddenly became awkward.

At this moment, how could Mrs. Lu be willing to spend one hundred taels of silver to buy two boxes of cream?

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.

Most of the people working in the Southern Court are descendants of nobles, so it is impossible for them to give gifts to a commander who is sitting on the bench.

Also sent rouge and cream for women.

This kind of slightly ambiguous gift is only given between lovers.

Moreover, after she finished using the cream, she asked the maid to return the money.

It must be that the mansion is in urgent need of money.

Even though she was so short of money, Mrs. Lu did not sell the cream for cash immediately after receiving it.

Either I really like it and can't bear to give it up;

Or, the person who gave the gift opened the seal in front of you, making it impossible to sell it.

Qin Shu is more inclined to the latter possibility.

Lu Fei just turned 40 this year, and his wife is seven years younger than him.

One is a gambler who can't even stay in the courtesan's room for half a cup of tea;

One is a young woman in her prime, living alone in an empty house...

Qin Shu returned to the backyard and sat on the short couch in the open hall, supporting her forehead with one hand and turning the empty box in the other, her eyes sparkling and her smile sweet.

As soon as Fu Ying stepped into the door, he accidentally made eye contact with Qin Shu, and the hairs on his body suddenly stood up.
