Early the next morning, a long queue formed at the entrance of Wenyuanfang. As expected, as Xiao Wenqing had boasted about Haikou, many ministers and ladies came. The impatient young lady had already applied medicinal powder and came out of the back hall.
"Miss Xie, are you done? How do you feel?" The woman waiting in the lobby saw two maids supporting a woman wearing a curtain hat coming out of the back hall. She recognized the maid as Ning Guo Gong Xie
The lady's personal maid.
"It turns out to be Miss Zhou. I have finished applying the medicinal powder today. If I apply it again tomorrow, it will be fine. As soon as the medicinal powder is applied, the itching on my face disappears. It's really miraculous!" Miss Xie also recognized the woman next to her.
The maid replied happily.
Miss Zhou could hear the excitement in Miss Xie's voice and guessed that this matter was 70% true. The rash on her face had been present for a few days. The doctor had come to see her several times, but it had no effect. She was already worried.
Very anxious.
Prince Xiao ordered someone to hand her a note last night, so she came here with the mentality of giving it a try. The numb and itchy feeling was really uncomfortable. The most important thing is that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is coming, and she
Entering the palace with a disfigured face was more uncomfortable than killing her.
The most hateful thing is Chen Yuelan, who behaves recklessly because she is the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. Her face is intact, and she suffers a lot for her sisters who take care of her business!
"That's great! I can't wait any longer. It's been really hard these days!" Miss Zhou's voice was full of hope.
"Who says it's not the case! If your face is really disfigured, you won't know how to see people in the future? Fortunately, there is a way to cure it now." Ms. Xie said in fear.
"Is Miss Zhou here? It's your turn now..." At this time, two women wearing Wenyuanfang costumes asked loudly while holding exchange cards.
"Miss Xie, we'll talk about it another day. It's my turn, so I'll go first," Miss Zhou said eagerly.
"Go quickly." Miss Xie agreed with a smile.
There were many people talking in Wenyuanfang, and the gossips of the two ladies Xie and Zhou were overheard by interested people, and they began to spread the word about how effective the medicine was and how quickly it took effect...
However, the real situation is exactly as Ms. Xie said. After applying the medicated powder twice, the cheeks returned to their original appearance, the skin even became more delicate and shiny, and the complexion was better than after using the powder before!
Many people came here because of its reputation, and the threshold of Wenyuanfang was crossed.
On the other hand, Chen Ji Rouge Shop, due to the allergic incident, although the aristocratic ladies did not come to trouble again, the business was deteriorating day by day. The two sides of the wide street formed a sharp contrast, one side was crowded with people, and the other side was deserted.
This is what Chen Yuelan saw when she came to the shop to choose makeup.
Thinking of her father's words of warning, Chen Yuelan just glared at the person opposite her and angrily went to the private room on the second floor. Not long after she sat down, shopkeeper Zhou from downstairs came to report.
"Miss, a young man who calls himself Yuwen came downstairs and wants to meet you."
Hearing this, Chen Yuelan hurriedly walked to the stairs and looked downstairs. Sure enough, she saw a young man wearing black brocade clothes and a gentle temperament standing in the hall, which attracted many girls in the store to look sideways. It wasn't Yu Wenyao.
who?
"Hurry up and ask Mr. Yuwen to go upstairs and make a pot of the best tea in the shop!" Chen Yuelan was so excited that she gave out orders one after another, like a happy bird.
Different from Chen Yuelan's elation, Yu Wenyao had a trace of sadness on his brows. He just drank tea silently and listened to Chen Yuelan's chatter. Finally, Chen Yuelan discovered that something was wrong with Yu Wenyao.
"Your Highness...are you worried about anything?" Chen Yuelan carefully observed his expression and asked with concern.
"Miss Chen doesn't have to be so reserved." Yu Wenyao showed a smile just right, "I happened to pass by here today and saw the situation outside. I was a little worried about Miss Chen, so I came to visit. I offended the lady and asked Haihan."
Hearing this, Chen Yuelan blushed and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The way of a merchant is this, ups and downs are normal."
Chen Yuelan was actually very angry. It was more uncomfortable to watch others make money than to lose money herself, not to mention that the other party was her competitor and she had had conflicts. But in front of her sweetheart, she wanted to leave a good impression of being knowledgeable, reasonable, tolerant and generous.
Yu Wenyao didn't hear the expected answer, and was a little surprised. Could it be that the words Jing Yan collected in the book were useless? So he added to the fire, "Princess Lanling is the fiancée of this king, and she did not do this very well."
Leave some room, I apologize to the lady on her behalf!"
After saying this, he stood up and bowed.
"You can't do it! You absolutely can't do it!" Chen Yuelan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but accidentally touched Yu Wenyao's palm, and her heart trembled.
The next second, she was filled with rage, Bah! What kind of Princess Lanling, what kind of fiancée! How can she be so virtuous and capable if she wants such a glorious young master to apologize for a girl from the countryside?
A trace of disgust flashed in Yu Wenyao's eyes, and he quickly retracted his hand, "Miss Chen, doesn't she have any medicine to cure her allergies? After all, this matter is indeed caused by the lady's makeup."
"It's true...there's really no medicine to cure it." Chen Yuelan felt ashamed and embarrassed. Is His Highness blaming herself?
"Why does Princess Lanling have medicine to treat her? Is there some other secret?" Yu Wenyao pretended not to know the inside story and asked with concern.
"Hmph!" When Chen Yuelan thought of the fake prescription given by Xiao Wenjun, she became extremely angry and said angrily, "It's not because of that Xiao Wenjun..."
Thinking that Yu Wenyao was still here, Chen Yuelan hurriedly covered her mouth, smiled awkwardly, and tried hard to maintain her tolerant and generous persona, "There are indeed some other reasons, and they have something to do with Princess Lanling. I will take good care of her."
Talk to her."
Seeing the other party's expression, Yu Wenyao knew that Chen Yuelan had taken the bait and would definitely cause trouble for Xiao Wenjun, so he stood up and left.
After sending Yu Wenyao away, Chen Yuelan's good mood disappeared instantly. It was all the fault of Xiao Wenjun. If she had not angered herself and lost her image in front of His Highness, His Highness would not have left so quickly.
"Ask shopkeeper Zhou to come over and bring the transaction contract with Wenyuanfang!" Chen Yuelan ordered in a deep voice.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Zhou went upstairs and stood hunched over to one side. Looking at the restless look on his face, he guessed that something was wrong in his mind.
"Who did you arrange to go to Wenyuanfang to learn cosmetology? Do you have the deed to purchase the formula?" Chen Yuelan asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Back... back to Miss, I went to learn it myself. Here is the deed. Please take a look at it, Miss!" Shopkeeper Zhou, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, handed over the deed that he had forged overnight.
Shopkeeper Zhou has gained a lot of benefits from Chen Ji over the years. He has always concealed what he has done and has never been caught. Unexpectedly, he stumbled on the Wenyuanfang incident and planned to
Run away as soon as possible.
Chen Yuelan was furious at this time, and after just one glance, she determined that Xiao Wenjun was responsible for the dirty tricks from beginning to end.
First, he sold fake prescriptions to his own family, and when his customers became allergic, he then came up with the antidote, stealing away all his customers and ruining his own reputation.
What a trick to steal and take advantage of the situation! Think that my Yongchang Marquis Mansion is made of clay!
"Call all the guys in the shop to ask for justice!" Chen Yuelan waved her hand and led a group of people towards Wenyuanfang in a menacing manner.
