[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Not only has the store's revenue been reduced by half, but the makeup shop has also started to experience various problems during this period.

Among them, several newly opened branches have the most problems.

In the beginning, it was just someone brought a fake rouge powder to the make-up pavilion, saying that after using the rouge powder from the make-up pavilion, red spots began to appear on the face; then it gradually developed into a maid who came to make-up with a girl whose appearance was ruined The pavilion wanted compensation; in the end, it even developed to a group of people who shouted that the things in the make-up pavilion were poisonous, while preventing other people from entering the store to buy rouge and gouache.

Fortunately, the power of the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang and the Mansion of the State of Zhenguo alone was enough to make those people return home. Those who came to make trouble were also sent to Jing Zhaoyin one by one, and finally put in prison.

It stands to reason that seeing someone behind the Makeup Pavilion, those who came to find fault should stop.

Surprisingly, however, such incidents became more and more popular afterwards, and the frequency has changed from only two or three times in the previous month to the fact that people come to make trouble almost every day.

Except for the group of high-status customers who didn't come, the most important reason for the plunge in the revenue of the Makeup Pavilion is these troublemakers.

However, after these troublemakers were arrested and imprisoned, they would be released again to continue to make trouble soon.

Those who caused trouble also held their sense of proportion and would not cause damage to the property and goods in the store. Even if they were caught in prison, they would not be punished too severely.If he is released in advance by someone who clears up the relationship, it will not achieve the purpose of punishment at all.

Many people who made troubles became confident and made more troubles.

Jia Shu blinked his eyes and roughly guessed what was going on.

After thinking about it, she simply asked Cuiyan on the side to send a message to her second sister, Jia Zhi: "You just go and tell your second sister that this is not a big problem, it will be fine next month."

Cuiyan bowed to Lin's mother, then retreated to look for Jia Zhi.

Only at this time did Jia Shu put down the account book, and turned to look at Lin Ruhai who had a sullen face and an air of "I'm very unhappy".

Mother Lin watched from the side, covering her mouth and enjoying herself.

Jia Shu had no choice but to get up, went to sit down beside Lin Ruhai, and secretly reached out and poked him behind the back: "Husband, I'm done."

Lin Ruhai glanced at her, straightened his back slightly, and ignored her.

He just finished the value today and rushed home immediately, because he was worried that his words would make Jia Shu feel uncomfortable. He originally wanted to dismiss her, and only told Mother Lin what happened today——

Because Lin's mother has been dependent on each other for many years, Lin Ruhai has long been used to discussing important matters with his family.

As a result, the mother said that husband and wife should communicate with each other, no matter whether it is good or bad, they should discuss matters related to each other.

But after he told Jia Shu about the matter, how did she react?Not only did she not worry about him, she didn't feel sad or disappointed about Rong Guogong's behavior. She felt that this matter was nothing more than a common gossip to her.

Lin Ruhai also has her own little temper!

At this moment, he is very angry!

Jia Shu poked him again, and saw that he pursed his lips to avoid it, so he smiled and said, "My husband, I was wrong. I'm not in trouble with my shop, and I don't know what to do."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he immediately frowned: "Someone came to make trouble? You went to Jing Zhaoyin with your husband's post and arrested him directly."

Jia Shu shook his head: "It's useless."

As soon as the words came out, even Mother Lin looked over: "How can it be useless? Although Ruhai is only an earl, but when he catches a troublemaker, Lier is on our side, and Jing Zhaoyin can still cover up the other party." ?”

For this kind of thing, even if he doesn't use Ru Hai's identity to exert pressure, Jing Zhaoyin must arrest people according to the law.How come you go with your identity card, but it's useless?

Jia Shu smiled: "It's something wrong with the Makeup Pavilion."

Lin's mother squinted her eyes, thinking about the grand appearance of the guest from the Makeup Pavilion, she became somewhat clear: "Whose eyes did you attract?"

Although outsiders don't know that Jia Shu also took part in the shares in that shop, but just relying on the two apparent owners of the Makeup Pavilion—Jia Gu and Jia Zhi—is enough to dispel most people's desire to find fault.

Now that something happened, the face of the Jinyang Marquis Mansion didn't matter. They Wen'an Marquis Mansion said it was a Marquis Mansion, but in fact they only had an earl in their family, so naturally it didn't work.

"Have you looked for Duke Rong?" Mother Lin asked.

Lin Ruhai was at the side, a little uncomfortable.

He just now knew that he was being plotted by Rong Guogong, and now that his wife's shop had problems, but he had to come to him for help, Lin Ruhai felt a little uncomfortable.

Jia Shu shook his head, "It's useless to ask Duke Rong for this matter."

Who doesn't know that Jia Zhi and Jia Gu were born as daughters-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion?But those people didn't feel scared when they found fault.

"My daughter-in-law guesses that those who are standing behind those troublemakers may be members of the royal family." Only they would not care about the power of the Rongguo Mansion at all, "and it is very likely that they are female relatives."

Otherwise, other people would not have that much face to make so many noble ladies not buy things from the Makeup Pavilion.

But the princes of the royal family are preparing to seize the throne, and the prince shows no signs of defeat. They should not dare to offend Rong Guogong and others at this time.

Only the royal princesses and concubines have no such scruples.

How much money do you need to earn for a business that makes the royal family envious?

Lin's mother turned her head: "How is the business of the make-up shop? There may be an income of 1 taels a month?"

Lin Ruhai immediately sat up straight: "1 taels?"

Although he didn't know how much a general shop could make, he also managed family bookstores, but the combined monthly income of several bookstores was less than [-].

If the Caizhuang Pavilion can really earn 1 taels a month, it is not impossible to attract the coveted eyes of some people in the royal family.

Jia Shu looked at Lin Ruhai, blinked, and blinked again: "It's not 1 taels."

"That's someone targeting..."

"Since the opening of several branches, the income of the Makeup Pavilion has reached 20 a month," she looked at Lin Ruhai who suddenly widened her eyes. "Sometimes it will be even more."

Mother Lin: "..."

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Not to mention the royal family, even if they heard this number, they couldn't help but move around in their hearts.

Not everyone's princesses and concubines in the royal family live well, because of the high expenses in the palace, many people even fall into the embarrassment of making ends meet.

It's not like other businesses can earn several 10 taels of silver a month, but those are usually brothels with famous prostitutes in Chuguan, or well-known restaurants and other gardens. The golden cave that heard the sound.

It's just a makeup shop, everyone can go in, cheap makeup is only a few tens of pennies.

How did this digital scene come about?

Jia Shu explained: "However, the expensive rouge gouache costs hundreds of taels of silver to buy a box, all of which are the freshest, most beautiful, and best-colored flowers picked, and some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are even added. Even if it hurts the skin, it still has a certain maintenance effect.”

"Moreover, the makeup shop will release at least one new rouge powder every month. At the same time, the makeup shop will change the packaging for the rouge powder every other time..."

In modern times, there are many small methods used by merchants to stimulate customers to buy products, so she naturally copied them and implemented them one by one in the makeup shop.

Rouge gouache is used slowly, in fact, the monthly sales should not be so much.

But why, many women are willing to spend money on their faces, and most of them have a certain collection habit?

What I don't have, I want to buy.

The packaging is beautiful, I want to buy it.

The merchant organizes the previously launched products into a set, so you don't need to save up slowly, want to buy...

However, these noble ladies all have generous dowries, as long as there are things they fancy, there are few things they can't afford.And no matter how expensive the rouge powder is, it’s just that, and you don’t need to care about the quantity you buy.

Even if you can't use it, you can give it to others, or reward your servants.

And these ladies only want the best, the most high-end, the most novel, and the most complete...

Sure enough, after using modern marketing methods, the income of the makeup shop has increased several times.

In fact, more than half of the makeup shop's turnover comes from those noble ladies who are willing to spend money on their faces.

Lin Ruhai still can't understand why a rouge and gouache shop can earn so much money in a month.As a woman, Ke Lin's mother naturally understood the reason.

Not to mention anything else, even she herself is using things from the makeup shop.

At first, I just wanted to support the business of my future daughter-in-law, but later I found that it was really easy to use, so I became a loyal customer of Makeup Pavilion, and I didn't use the rouge and powder.And because she is Jia Shu's future mother-in-law, Jia Zhi, who has met her once, will give her a discount every time.

This naturally made her prefer to go shopping at the make-up shop.

But after Jia Shu married into the Lin family, she never spent money on rouge and gouache——

Whenever the makeup shop launches a new product, it will send a copy to her.

But she all noticed that the old woman who was a great-grandmother was very fond of the rouge and gouache in the Makeup Pavilion, which is enough to show how useful the things in the Makeup Pavilion are.

Think about how many rouges and powders from the makeup shop are on your dressing table, and how much money these things cost in exchange for money...

Wealth touches people's hearts.

Mother Lin smiled: "Have you ever found out who is interested in the business of Makeup Pavilion?"

With more than 20 taels of silver a month, even the prince would abandon other concerns and take risks.

Although Jia Gu and Jia Zhi were concubine daughters of the Rongguo Mansion, they are now married, and the Rongguo Mansion can provide them with limited protection.Besides, if they really want to grab the business, they don't necessarily need to make a direct move.

"Count, have you thought about the oriole behind?"

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't thought about it.

When she guessed that the person behind it might be from the royal family, the best solution she thought of was to let another royal person take a stake, so that no one would dare to find fault again.

But what if this person was just pushed out as cannon fodder from the beginning?

After all, Mother Lin has lived in the elite circle of the capital for decades more than Jia Shu, and she is much more aware of the twists and turns than Jia Shu.

"Maybe the person you finally found out wasn't the one who started all of this." Mother Lin raised her eyebrows, "The royal family doesn't have any rules for doing things. If they really want to steal your business, they may not come forward in person."

Behind the princess and concubine, are there other people standing?

If this is the case, wouldn't the Makeup Pavilion have something to do with Duoyi?

Jia Shu turned to look at Lin Ruhai: "Which prince are you standing behind?"

Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded: "My husband is only a lowly official, how could those princes like it?"

Even if the prince wants to win someone over, it still depends on whether the other party's use value is enough.

Originally, as Lin Ruhai's servant, it's not that no one wanted to win him over.But he is also an earl at the same time, if the wooing condition given is only based on his status as a servant, it will naturally not match his status as an earl. I also know that Lin Ruhai can't agree, who is willing to waste effort?

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai is already Rong Guogong's son-in-law, and the interests of the two families are bound together. If there is no accident, he will naturally stand behind the prince.

It's just that Lin Ruhai never thought that he would be involved in the battle for the heir apparent, so he had no idea about it.

However, he also had an understanding of official affairs, so he said: "Mr. Rong is close to the crown prince. My Lin family, if there is no accident, probably stands behind the crown prince."

It suddenly occurred to Jia Shu that he had agreed to Rong Guogong before, and he wanted to find out who was behind the marriage between the Rong Guo Mansion and the Lin family and to sow discord between the two families...

I feel that I can't slack off anymore, after all, this matter seems to have something to do with the Lin family.

Regardless of whether the Lin family will stand as the crown prince in the future, the evil person behind the scenes must be caught as soon as possible and take precautions.

Jia Shu looked at Lin Ruhai quietly, and heaved a long sigh: "Oh..."

so tired.

Lin Ruhai: "..." Why did you suddenly sigh?
