Chapter 55 The drama queen and her stupid pig teammates
Kyoto, Yongchang Houfu.
The autumn atmosphere is getting stronger, the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the girl in her cardamom years is on the swing, her laughter like silver bells floating far away.
Chen Yuelan is wearing a pink double-breasted gauze dress and a green underskirt today, which makes her snow-white complexion look pretty and cute.
The maid pushing the swing next to her saw her young lady's appearance and exclaimed: "My lady is so beautiful! In half a month the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held, and with the newly developed rouge powder, I will definitely be able to overpower all the noble ladies in the palace."
"Well, when the time comes, I will put on my mother's new dress made of fine damask. It will complement the new makeup and will definitely shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival." Chen Yuelan said with a smile: "Push it a little higher.
.”
Chen Yuelan's father, the Marquis of Yongchang, served as the Minister of Hubu. He was an outlier among the noble families. Normal princes only served as idle men, but the Minister of Hubu not only had real power, but also had greater benefits.
At this moment, a woman suddenly shouted: "Who is there, sneaking around? Come out quickly!"
Hearing this, the maid protected Chen Yuelan behind her and followed the sound. A woman led a middle-aged man to wander at the entrance of the courtyard.
The maid recognized the middle-aged man as Shopkeeper Zhou of Chenji Rouge Shop, and the woman beside him was his wife and the mother in charge of the outer courtyard.
Ordinary outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. If there is no urgent matter, the steward mother will not take the risk of being punished by the master's family and bring him in.
"Miss, this is Shopkeeper Zhou." The maid turned around and asked, "Miss, do you want to call him in for questioning?"
"Well, ask him why he has to come over now to report it."
Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly ran over to say hello and said tremblingly: "Miss, something serious has happened!"
"Why are you so flustered? Tell me in detail!" Chen Yuelan frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice.
"There is something wrong with the newly developed cosmeceutical in the shop. Many ladies developed red rashes after using it. Now they are making a fuss at the door of the shop!" No matter how scared he was, shopkeeper Zhou knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so he simply said
Finished speaking.
"How could it be? Wasn't it good at the beginning? What went wrong?" Chen Yuelan's heart tightened. Fortunately, she didn't have time to use it. But now something happened in the shop, she still had to find a way to solve it.
Shopkeeper Zhou was hesitating, looking to his left and right.
"It's not because a new drugstore called 'Wenyuanfang' opened opposite and took away most of the business. In order to win back customers, Xiao Xiao spent a lot of money to go to Wenyuanfang to learn prescriptions, but the store actually gave Zhang a fake
of……"
The first half of what Shopkeeper Zhou said is true, but the second half is a bit ambiguous. In fact, Shopkeeper Zhou used his money to secretly buy some Wenyuanfang cosmeceuticals and mix them with his own makeup.
Something went wrong.
But Xiao Wenjun is such a shrewd person, how could he let him succeed? All of Wenyuanfang's cosmeceutical prescriptions are from Yun Yilan, and she has said that you must not add or subtract other ingredients in this prescription without authorization, otherwise it will cause redness.
rash.
The people in Wenyuanfang and the drug store have a clear division of labor. Those who grind the powder only grind the powder, and those who buy it only buy it. They do not touch each other or interfere with each other. Chun Xia and Qiu Dong also learned a lot from Yun Yilan. They are responsible
Prepare powder dosage.
Therefore, no one knows the specific ratio, which is why the supply is limited every day. Shopkeeper Zhou has no idea at all, and dares to try it on the delicate faces of these rich ladies.
"Okay!" Chen Yuelan threw the tea cup in her hand and shouted angrily: "You dare to put your idea on my head. You failed to buy my shop a few days ago, and now you are resorting to these despicable means!"
"But after asking clearly, what does the other party rely on?" Chen Yuelan calmed down and asked.
"Miss Hui, I heard that the owner of Wenyuanfang came from Lanling. When the shop opened and the ribbon was cut, there were not many important guests." Shopkeeper Zhou also dared to send people because the other party had no backstage.
Stealing lessons.
"Lanling?" As soon as Chen Yuelan heard this word, she thought of the Lanling Princess. She suddenly became furious and could no longer calm down!
"You go to the shop first!" Chen Yuelan turned around and ordered: "I will be there soon!"
Chen Yuelan came outside her father's study, dabbed a few drops of onion water in the corners of her eyes, pinched her thighs hard, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Daddy..." As soon as she opened the door, Chen Yuelan's tears that had been brewing for a long time fell down, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Marquis Yongchang felt a pain in his head and asked again, "Who made my precious daughter angry again? Or are you interested in something good again?"
"Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter!"
"Tell me and listen." Marquis Yongchang said without even raising his eyelids.
So, Chen Yuelan elaborated on the matter. Marquis Yongchang became furious and broke the brush in his hand, "How brave!"
"What can the other party rely on?"
"Dad, you are a country man from Lanling, how can you have any support!" Chen Yuelan stopped crying now.
"Okay! Daddy will go with you now!"
Marquis Yongchang, the Minister of Household Affairs, sent someone to inform the officials in charge of the merchants here, and he led dozens of people to Wenyuanfang in a mighty manner.
After receiving the news, the officials suddenly became busy. People who knew the inside story had already passed it on and on. They all knew that the Minister of Household Affairs loved his daughter, and he must be supporting her in this matter. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect, and ordered all the people to be there early.
Waiting at the intersection.
He Hong, who was standing on the second floor of Wenyuanfang, saw a group of people coming with bad intentions from a distance. He immediately went downstairs and winked at the door. The little beggar sitting on the ground immediately understood and ran to Xiao Wenjun.
Report.
After the arrangements were made, He Hong greeted him with a smile, "My lord, the shop is operating normally. I wonder what you mean when you come here this time?"
"I received a report that there is something wrong with the rouge and gouache in your shop, and now we have to seal it up." The yamen servant didn't bother to talk nonsense and said directly.
A group of officers and soldiers rushed in, knocking down many shelves, and the rouge and gouache boxes were scattered on the floor. Many government officials took the opportunity to grab a few boxes and hide them on their sleeves. This thing was very expensive, so they took it back to comfort their wives.
"All the cosmeceuticals in the store have been registered with the Yamen, and different prescriptions are used for different groups of people. Moreover, there have been no complaints from customers before, so there must be a misunderstanding." He Hong saw it but
He holds back his anger and speaks in a gentle tone, but his words are reasonable and polite.
Chen Yuelan, who was standing aside, got impatient and kicked He Hong to the ground. "If there is any problem, we will know after the inspection!"
"Everyone in Wenyuanfang is not allowed to move!" Chen Yuelan pointed to the clerk who was cleaning up the mess on the ground, "Here comes someone! Every box of powder must be sampled and sent to the Yamen for inspection."
Marquis Yongchang frowned slightly when he saw his daughter's behavior, but did not say anything to stop her.
At this time, Shopkeeper Shi from Wenyuanfang came over from the back hall and helped He Hong who was lying on the ground. Then he followed He Hong's advance plan and sent the guests out of the back hall through the back door, eliminating the need for this visit.
all costs.
Shopkeeper Shi was brought by He Hong from Lanling and is considered a reliable person.
"Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?" Chen Yuelan asked displeasedly, pointing at shopkeeper Shi.
"Exactly!"
"Take all these people to the Yamen and imprison them until they are interrogated!" Chen Yuelan commanded, looking very arrogant and domineering. "After taking the samples, the shop was sealed!"
At this time, the people who were making trouble at Chen Ji Rouge Shop stopped somewhat when they saw such a huge battle on the opposite side. They decided to go back today and make plans for the next day.
