A Mysterious Gift
Jiang Yimian, however, only curiously asked, “Why didn’t Lin Yanan come today?”
That fellow, since he knows the Jiang Family shop is opening, would certainly come to join the fun.
Lin Zhaozhao only helplessly said, “He left for the Capital yesterday. He said there were some business problems there, and he needs to go check it out personally. He asked me to deliver the gift, and I happened to meet Chun Yue on the road, so we came together.”
Chun Yue also smiled and nodded. When her line of sight fell on the brocade box in the servant’s hand, her eyes were also full of curiosity.
All the way here, she had heard Lin Zhaozhao say that the things in the brocade box were carefully selected by Young Master Lin, and she couldn’t help but have more expectation.
Last time, that young master brought the girl vegetarian meat food, although it was made by Jiang Girl, this thoughtfulness is still commendable, and he should be a considerate and careful person.
Lin Zhaozhao on the side also quickly urged, “Sister Jiang, hurry up and open it. This is a congratulatory gift from my brother. You can’t refuse it.”
She really wanted to know what was inside.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian had to open the brocade box.
Lin Zhaozhao and Chun Yue quickly leaned over to look. When they saw clearly what was in the brocade box, they instantly burst into laughter.
“My brother is really amazing. He actually sent you such a large golden toad.”
She thought it was something special. It turns out to be a golden toad for gathering wealth!
Xiao Fu said that her brother spent several days carefully selecting it. Knowing this, she should have secretly changed it for her brother.
Who sends a golden toad to a girl? Sister Jiang is not those middle-aged merchants who only do business. How could she like this golden toad?
Her brother also has the nerve to say he carefully selected it. I think he clearly took it from his warehouse.
Jiang Yimian was not disappointed, but instead smiled and said, “It’s very good. Thank your brother for me. This large golden toad is something that gathers wealth, just suitable for the shop opening.”
The meaning is very good. It seems to be pure gold, although the workmanship is a bit ordinary in her opinion, it is priceless.
It’s a nice gift.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was truly satisfied, Lin Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt helpless that her silly brother’s gift was too ordinary, fortunately, the meaning was good, so it wouldn’t be annoying.
Fortunately, it’s a shop opening, and the meaning is just right. If it were other festivals or birthdays, this gift would be really funny.
Chun Yue, on the side, also took out a small brocade box and helplessly said, “The young lady only learned about Jiang Girl opening a shop yesterday. Time was tight, and she didn’t have time to prepare anything. This is a pair of jade bracelets that the young lady likes best. She specially asked me to send them to you.”
As soon as the brocade box was opened, the jade bracelets inside were presented before the few people.
It seems very ordinary, but the transparent color clearly shows that it is not an ordinary jade bracelet.
Jiang Yimian quickly thanked her, “Thank the young lady for me. I like it very much.”
Chun Yue listened to these words, just smiled, and chatted with Jiang Yimian for a few more words, talking about Xie Yu’s recent situation.
Because she still had things to do, she simply looked at the shop, packed some food, and was about to leave with Lin Zhaozhao.
Jiang Yimian quickly handed the lipstick and lip rouge on the carriage to the two.
“These are lipsticks and lip rouges made from cochineal insects. I think the colors are good, and Miss Xie should like them. You have taken the trouble to come all the way to deliver the congratulatory gifts today.”
Compared to the things these two brought, her gift seems a bit ordinary in appearance.
Chun Yue smiled, thinking it was some strangely shaped lip rouge, and didn’t care much.
Lin Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up instantly. She didn’t believe Sister Jiang would take out something ordinary.
She immediately opened the lipstick cap. Listening to Jiang Yimian’s instructions, she gently turned it, and the bright red paste came up from the inner circle.
Chun Yue was also surprised. She didn’t expect that such an ordinary thing had such an ingenious structure inside. With a gentle turn, the hidden lipstick appeared.
Lin Zhaozhao gently tried the color on her hand, only to widen her eyes in disbelief and said, “This lipstick is so easy to apply, and the color is delicate and beautiful, even better than the most expensive lip rouge in that shop.”
The lip rouges in the shop are not easy to apply, and they are a bit dry, especially when applied to the lips, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.
But with the lipstick in her hand, she could clearly feel the smooth touch.
This is only applied on the hand, the effect on the lips will certainly be even better.
Jiang Yimian just smiled, “Zhaozhao likes it. Next time I make other colors, I’ll let you try them first.”
Lin Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, put away the lipstick, and preciously handed it to the maid beside her, curiously asking, “Sister Jiang, you must be going to use this lipstick for business, right? How do you plan to do the lipstick business?”
Although she wanted Sister Jiang to continue cooperating with the Lin Family, she also knew that the Lin Family’s expertise was in pharmacies and did not understand these things for girls.
Although she herself has several rouge and powder shops, they are all small businesses, and she doesn’t need to manage the shops all the time. Cooperating with Sister Jiang, she is powerless and afraid of dragging her down.
Jiang Yimian shook her head and helplessly said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. After Jiang Shop gets on the right track, I will think about how to do the lipstick business.”
Chun Yue, however, thought of Bao Xiang Shop. She heard the Princess say last time that she wanted to give this shop to Jiang Girl. She should have given it already.
Thinking about it, she quickly said, “Jiang Girl, you can just sell this lipstick in the shop the young lady gave you. Don’t worry about not being able to sell it. As long as such good things appear in the Capital, those ladies and young ladies will not miss it.”
Especially in Bao Xiang Shop, that is considered a treasure place by the ladies in the Capital.
Although in recent years, because there haven’t been many new rouge and powders, it has been suppressed by other shops, but the foundation is still there. As long as the lipstick appears in the shop, there is certainly no need to worry about not selling it.
Jiang Yimian was a little surprised and hesitated for a while before saying, “I will try.”
She initially thought that Bao Xiang Shop was just a small shop. How come it doesn’t seem like that now!
Seeing this, Chun Yue continued with a smile, “Jiang Girl, when you have time, go to the villa to see our young lady. She misses Jiang Girl recently and asks the cook in the villa to make vegetarian meat dishes every day, but none of them taste like yours.”
If it weren’t for the young lady taking medicine baths recently, she would have come today.
Jiang Yimian quickly responded, “I will make some vegetarian meat dishes for Miss Xie another day. I hope Miss Xie will not dislike them.”
Chun Yue just smiled and waved her hand. Her young lady couldn’t wait to eat vegetarian meat dishes made by Jiang Girl herself. How could she dislike it?
Seeing the two leave, Jiang Yimian looked down at the two brocade boxes and smiled helplessly.
She didn’t tell them about the shop opening because the Jiang Family only opened a small shop, there was no need to make a big fuss. But she didn’t expect that they still knew and prepared a gift for her. They are very thoughtful.
Just as she was thinking, an angry shout came from the shop.
