A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 430 Hanging out with Wei Jinyi

   "Miss Wei wants to store some ointments in Tongdetang for sale. Is it convenient?" Wei Ruo said.

   "Is it convenient or not, this Tongde Hall already has Miss Wei." Xie Jue said with a smile.

   "Ms. Wei said that she and Lingmei are half of the drugstore, but this pharmacy is owned by Lingmei and has nothing to do with her. We should first ask Miss Xie for instructions." Wei Ruo said.

   "It's nothing. When I opened this pharmacy, my sister said she was the same as her. And this pharmacy became famous because of the insect repellent ointment and acne ointment provided by Miss Wei." Xie Jue said.

"No way, Ms. Xie gave all the money from the sale of the ointment to Miss Wei. It can be said that this is a mutual benefit. There is no such thing as who helps whom or who relies on whom. Miss Wei also said that her brothers will settle accounts clearly. No matter how good the relationship is, when it’s time to figure it out, you still need to figure it out.”

   As he spoke, Wei Ruo took out the ointment that he wanted Tongdetang to help sell this time.

   "This is an ointment for removing scars. It was only sold in Tongdetang in Lin'an Prefecture before. This time there are three boxes in total, and the price of each box is two thousand taels of silver."

   Xie Jue smiled and said, "Sure enough, it was the Wei family sister's idea."

  Xie Jue probably knew what Wei Ruo's scar removal ointment was all about, and it became more and more expensive in the end, because he made it clear that he wanted to cheat that person's money.

"In addition, Miss Wei also wants Tongdetang to help sell some skin care creams for a long time. Afterwards, Miss Wei wanted to open a rouge gouache shop to sell skin care creams, and now she wants to use Tongdetang's The reputation will help sell it for a while, I wonder if it is possible?"

  Wei Ruo explained everything to Xie Jue, and didn't want to secretly take advantage of Xie's brothers and sisters.

   It would be best if they agree, but it doesn't matter if they disagree, Wei Ruo won't be a little unhappy.

   "Of course there is no problem. Miss Wei can sell it in Tongde hall, there is no problem." Xie Jue agreed without thinking.

   "Young Master Xie should go back and talk to Miss Xie about this matter. After all, it is Miss Wei who wants to take advantage of you."

   "There is nothing to say about taking advantage or not, but if Miss Wei has any concerns, then I will reply to Miss Wei after I go back and talk to my sister." Xie Jue said.

   "Then I will thank Mr. Xie and Miss Xie on behalf of Miss Wei." Wei Ruo said.

   "You're welcome, my sister and Miss Wei have a very close friendship, so there is no need to thank me for such a small matter." Xie Jue said.

   "In addition, Miss Wei said that a batch of insect repellent ointment and acne ointment will be delivered in a few days." Wei Ruo said.

   "Okay, the first batch is almost sold out. After the Chinese New Year, the weather will get warmer and the number of mosquitoes will increase. The mosquito repellent ointment will be sold again." Xie Jue said.

   This kind of ointment may not be easy to sell in Taizhou, but in the capital, most of the officials' wives and wealthy daughters come to buy it.

   Immediately afterwards, Xie Jue stared at Wei Ruo, who was dressed in men's clothes, and asked, "Mr. Xu, how is Miss Wei these days?"

   "Mr. Xie, don't worry, Miss Wei is fine."

   "I heard that the Wei family betrothed her to Lord Xuanping?"

  Speaking of this matter, Xie Jue looked a little ugly, with deep worry in his eyes.

"Yes."

   "Then Miss Wei...is she willing?" Xie Jue hesitated for a while before asking this question.

   "Young Master Xie, don't worry, Miss Wei can handle it well by herself." Wei Ruo replied, without telling Xie Jue whether he was willing or not.

  Xie Jue pondered for a moment and then said: "If...Miss Wei needs help from Yingying and me, please feel free to ask her without being polite to us."

   "Okay." Wei Ruo agreed, "Thank you young master, then I will take my leave first."

   "Well, Mr. Xu, please help me send a message to Wei's younger sister. If there is a chance, I... my younger sister will ask her to play with her."

"good."

  After talking with Xie Jue, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also left Tongde Hall, and they wandered around Baihu Street together.

  The advantage of traveling in men's clothing is that Wei Ruo can go wherever he wants without any worries.

  The two came to the most famous rouge and gouache shop on Baihu Street—Qixia Pavilion.

  Before entering the door, Wei Ruo felt the bustle of the shop. There was an endless stream of people coming in and out, most of them were gorgeously dressed daughters, and some of them were purchased by their servants.

  Of course, some men came in and out, I don't know if they bought it for Meijiao Niang at home or a sister.

  Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also walked into the shop. Rouge and gouache in exquisite boxes of various colors were placed on the shelves.

   Just looking at it like this, Wei Ruo can't see what is going on, and these things need to be used one by one.

  Wei Ruo was thinking about whether to buy some back, when he heard Wei Jin who was beside him say to the shop assistant: "Pack me a copy of each of these."

   "Okay, my guest, please wait a moment, and I will pack it for you." The guy was very enthusiastic.

  Even if it is in the capital city, he packs a portion of every rouge and gouache in the store in one breath, and that is a proud and big customer.

  Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Jinyi, smiled lightly and said, "My lord, this will cost a lot of money~"

"Ok, I know."

  Wei Ruo thought for a while, then asked again: "My lord, are you rich?"

   "My mother left me some money."

   "Then you are such a prodigal?" Wei Ruo said with a smile.

   "Giving it to you is not a prodigal." Wei Jinyi replied in a serious tone.

   "Second brother, please keep your voice down. If others hear that you bought so much rouge and gouache as a gift to me, a 'man', they may doubt our relationship."

   "It's okay, no one recognizes us." Wei Jin was also very calm.

   "It makes sense, why don't we use this identity to visit Hualou?" Wei Ruo said intentionally.

   "No." Wei Jin also rejected Wei Ruo's proposal.

   "Why not, no one recognizes us anyway." Wei Ruo asked with a smile.

   "That place is out of sight."

   "It doesn't catch the eye? How come one doesn't catch the eye? Second brother, tell me." Wei Ruo showed strong curiosity.

   "I've never been there, I don't know."

   "Second brother, you're lying. If you haven't been there, why do you know it's ugly? You've clearly been there, but you can't tell me."

   "I have never been there."

   "Second brother, don't be embarrassed. It's not a shame for a man to go to that place." Wei Ruo comforted.

   "I have never been there." Wei Jin also emphasized again.

   Seeing Wei Jinyi's extremely serious expression, Wei Ruo couldn't help laughing.

  Second brother still can't bear to be teased as always!

   "Okay, okay, I believe that the second brother has never been there before, so why don't the second brother go and see it with me? It's a good experience." Wei Ruo suggested again.
