After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Qiao Niang thought she could walk around in Kyoto with a little money, but she didn't know that the people in Kyoto were more vicious than each other. Thousands of taels of silver could only buy ten boxes of cosmetics... If Ye Jin knew about this, he would definitely skin her alive!

Qiao Niang regretted it immediately and wanted to take back the money, but Hong Fu was faster than her. She packed up ten boxes of cosmetics and stuffed them into Qiao Niang's hands, smiling: "According to the rules of our store, cosmetics cannot be returned or exchanged once sold. Please keep these cosmetics."

"you!"

Qiao Niang was so angry that she wanted to throw the powder in her hand on Hong Fu's face. But when she thought about the mission she came here for, her expression changed several times. She had to hold back her temper and approached Hong Fu and said mysteriously, "I came here not only to buy powder, but also to do business with you for a great thing. Could you please ask your young master to come out and talk to me face to face?"

Qiao Niang could see that the Hu merchant woman in front of her was eloquent and had a hot-tempered personality, but the one who really had the final say in this perfume and powder shop was the mysterious "young master" behind the curtain.

Judging from the voice, the young master is not very old and should be easier to fool than the old man in front of him.

Hong Fu's eyes were sharp, and she saw through Qiao Niang's little plot at a glance. She looked suspicious and said, "How can a servant like you discuss business with our young master?"

Qiao Niang was choked again. She took a deep breath and finally found her voice and said, "I am here on behalf of my master. When you saw me being so generous, you knew that my master is not a simple person."

Qiao Niang spoke in a very mysterious tone, acting as if she was out of her reach. Little did she know that Xiao Xuetang behind the curtain and the young master, who was considered "easy to fool" in Qiao Niang's mind, knew what she was planning as soon as she opened her mouth.

In her previous life, she became the queen. Because Ye Jin was the adopted daughter of the Xiao family, everyone subconsciously linked them together with their every move in Kyoto. Xiao Xuetang had also heard some of Ye Jin's actions intentionally or unintentionally.

She is a business genius who seems to be able to thrive in every industry. Her clever business trick, apart from the experience she brought from the 'other world', is to send her minions to search for the signature products of those small shops, and then pester them to get the secret recipes.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Ye Jin actually set his sights on Yan Xinji. She had really hit a wall!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "What's the deal? Why not tell me about it?"

Qiao Niang was delighted and said eloquently, "I wonder if the young master is interested in selling the secret formula of cosmetics?"

"My master is of noble status and knows many dignitaries in Kyoto. This powder formula can only play a greater role in the hands of my master. If the young master is willing, my master can buy the formula at a high price, or share the formula..."

Although Hongfu didn't know the identity of the so-called master that Qiaoniang mentioned, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard her bragging. The daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was sitting in their store, and she didn't know whether her master could be a county lady or a princess, but she was so arrogant.

Xiao Xuetang held his chin and listened, looking quite interested. Following what Qiao Niang said, he asked, "What is a shared recipe?"

"My master is willing to pay for the powder formula. If the young master doesn't want the money, my master is also willing to exchange the same powder formula for the two stores to cooperate..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang sneered in her heart. How could Ye Jin know how to make perfume? He probably set his eyes on the ancient book formula in her hand and tried to get something for nothing.

"And I see that the young master's store is doing quite well. I'm afraid that it would be difficult to handle the two customers, this lady and the young lady. Our master can send a master perfumer to help."

Tsk, not only does he want to get something for nothing, he also wants to directly insert people in to take away the perfume-making skills and even the customer base of this shop!

If it were an ordinary small merchant, they would probably be paralyzed by Qiaoniang's eloquence and agree without thinking. Hongfu followed her uncle all over the country and had seen all kinds of situations. When she heard that the other party was providing both money and manpower, she just wanted to do business with them?

There is no such thing as a free gift in the world. He had a hunch that something was wrong and wanted to drive Qiao Niang away.

Who knew that at this moment, Xiao Xuetang could only hear behind the curtain: "What if I want both money and the secret recipe?"

Qiao Niang...

She swallowed all the words she had prepared to persuade Xiao Xuetang.

In all the years she had followed Ye Jin in the business world, she had probably never seen Xiao Xuetang act so shamelessly and with such a righteous attitude.

Seeing that Qiao Niang was silent, Xiao Xuetang smiled and said, "It seems that you can't make the decision on this matter. Let your master come to discuss it in person. Hongfu, please see you off."

Hongfu politely sent Qiaoniang out. When Qiaoniang left the shop with a few boxes of cosmetics, she came to her senses belatedly. Did she accomplish this? Or did she not?!

"No matter what, the young master of Yan Xinji has no family to say, which means there is still a chance for negotiation..."

Qiao Niang convinced herself and then went to tell Ye Jin the good news.

At this time, after Qiao Niang left, Xiao Xuetang came out from behind the curtain. Hong Fu was so angry when she found out that Qiao Niang had bad intentions.

"In my opinion, there's no need to be so polite. You should just beat her out with a stick!"

Xiao Xuetang counted the silver happily and said, "Where would we get so much silver if we kicked her out? Sister Hongfu, just do as I say. I guarantee they will send us more silver."

Since Ye Jin has set his sights on her, why not just go with the flow and set a trap for Ye Jin!

He then gave instructions to Hong Fu, who nodded repeatedly in agreement, and said, "It's almost time for lunch, why don't you stay and have dinner with us? Today, I'll let your uncle Lin cook for you personally."

Xiao Xuetang smiled and shook her head, saying, "I went out without telling the Marquis's residence today. I can't stay outside for too long. I must try Uncle Lin's cooking next time!"

Seeing Xiao Xuetang say this, Hong Fu did not continue to force him, but just stuffed a bag of crispy duck into Xiao Xuetang's pocket before leaving.

"Of course the Marquis' Mansion is not short of this little bit of food, but this is your Uncle Lin's specialty, you must bring it with you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang had no choice but to take her with him. When passing by the dim sum shop, Xiao Xuetang remembered that Bihen was still at home, so she asked Qiyue to buy two bags of dim sum, and she found a cool place to wait.

Unexpectedly, after a while, I suddenly felt something furry nudging me at my feet. When I turned around, I saw that it was an extremely beautiful and majestic wolfdog.

It was seen staring at Xiao Xuetang with glowing eyes... to be more precise, it was staring at the duck that Xiao Xuetang was holding!
