After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

In the study, Yan Mobai finished reading the document in his hand, looked up, and saw Lan Ying staring at the wedding cake box.

"Want to eat?" Yan Mobai asked him.

Lan Ying nodded, then quickly shook his head.

In fact, he didn't want to eat the wedding cake, but was curious about what gift Madam Ning would give to his master.

The gifts must have been packed together in the box.

"Then share it and eat it." Yan Mobai picked up another official document.

"Thank you, sir."

Lan Ying looked at Chi Feng and seeing that Chi Feng did not move, he stepped forward and opened the box of pastries.

I found that there were only eight lotus cakes with the word "囍" printed on them.

No gifts?

Lan Ying still didn't believe it, so he picked up the box and searched both the lid and the bottom.

still none.

Yan Mobai glanced at the cakes in the box and pursed his thin lips.

He asked in a cool voice, "What are you looking for?"

"No, I'm not looking for anything." Lan Ying shook his head.

He quickly picked up a piece of cake and asked Yan Mobai: "Sir, would you like to try it?"

"Haven't I ever eaten lotus cake before?" Yan Mobai asked back in a cold voice.

Blue Shadow: “…”

He was silent for a moment, and had to hand the piece in his hand to Chi Feng.

Chi Feng didn't answer.

Lan Ying realized that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, so he didn't dare to eat and put the pastries back into the box.

Yan Mobai pointed to the official documents on the desk that had been reviewed and instructed Lan Ying: "Send these documents to the Dali Temple one by one."

"Yes." Lan Ying accepted the order.

He walked forward, picked up the pile of documents and turned to leave, but Yan Mobai stopped him, "Wait."

Lan Ying turned around.

Yan Mobai lowered his eyebrows and wrote something on the document in his hand, and said in a nonchalant voice: "What I said is, I will send you one by one."

Lan Ying was stunned.

One by one?

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, and also suspected that he had understood it wrongly?

He cautiously asked, "What you mean is, send one copy to the Dali Temple, come back and get the second copy, and then come back and get the third copy?"

"Yes." Yan Mobai closed the document in his hand with a "snap".

Blue Shadow: “…”

He was baffling, unbelievable, and incomprehensible.

Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to make trouble for him?

Why do you want to punish him?

Yan Mobai threw the closed document onto the table and said calmly, "I'm free anyway, so it's good to run some errands."

Blue Shadow: “…”

Chifeng: “…”

So he heard everything the two of them said outside the study just now?

Lan Ying felt like crying but had no tears.

But he didn't say anything bad, he was just gossiping.

He wanted to explain, but didn't know how. Knowing that his master always kept his word, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

He pursed his lips, put the documents in his arms back on the table, picked up a book, bowed to Yan Mobai, and quickly walked out the door.

The next day, after breakfast, Ning Miao took Chunlan to the Chaohua Rouge Shop in the south of the city.

In fact, it’s good to have something to do, just in time to cool down that stubborn man.

He had already said so much, so she couldn't continue to pester him in the near future.

Otherwise, with his cold and ruthless nature, he might really drive her out of the mansion.

Therefore, we cannot act too hastily and can only wait for the right opportunity.

Moreover, although money is something outside of one's body, it is, after all, a tool to exchange for benefits. Only with money can one have the tools.

So, you don’t have to care about money, but you must have it, the more the better, and you have to earn it.

The owner of the rouge shop was a man named Han, a distant relative of Jin, and about forty years old.

He is a very honest person and very polite to Ning Miao.

She first showed Ning Miao around the shop, then gave her a detailed introduction to the various rouge and powder products available in the shop, as well as the supply and sales situation, and finally showed her the account book.

Ning Miao roughly understood the situation of the Rouge Shop.

There were five people in total: a shopkeeper, an accountant, and three shop assistants.

The shop is not small, the decoration is quite impressive, and the location is good, but there are few customers.

She and Chunlan looked around the street again and found several shops selling rouge and powder on the same street.

She went to each store to check and found that the products they sold were all similar and it was difficult to tell which was better.

So, she roughly knew the crux of the problem.

She returned to the shop and said to Shopkeeper Han, "Please help me contact the person in charge of the Rouge Shop. I want to meet her and have a talk."

The Rouge Workshop was also the Yongchang Marquis Mansion's own workshop, specializing in making rouge and powder, and then supplying it to several rouge shops under the name of the Marquis Mansion.

Shopkeeper Han quickly helped her make the contact, and she met the owner of the rouge workshop that afternoon.

The owner of the shop is surnamed Yang, a middle-aged woman, who is said to be the sister of the housekeeper of the Marquis's mansion.

Perhaps it was because of her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the marquis's family that the other party was easier to talk to.

"Madam, do you want to change your rouge case?"

Ning Miao nodded: "Yes, increase the cost of the rouge box appropriately and make it exquisite and beautiful."

"I went to several other rouge shops on the same street today and saw that they all sold the same thing."

“We have to come up with something new and different to stand out and attract customers.”

"And since all the rouges are similar, we can only start with the box."

Master Yang naturally knew that what she said was true.

In fact, she has thought about improving these problems, but has been struggling to find a good solution.

"How do you want to change it, madam?"

"First, I want to change the original round and square boxes into various flower shapes. Is it feasible?"

Master Yang shook his head: "It's not feasible. It will increase the cost a lot. The flower shape has to be carved out piece by piece. If so, the price of the rouge sold may not be enough to cover the cost of carving."

Ning Miao frowned, she knew the cost was not small.

She had a second suggestion.

"What if we change it to a sand cover? First, the sand cover can be a variety of colors, such as red sand, green sand, yellow sand, and purple sand. Second, and most importantly, the sand cover can be molded, which is convenient and fast, and a kiln can also burn a lot, which is suitable for batch production."

Master Yang's eyes lit up: "We can give this a try."

"Well, let's give it a try. In addition, I have another suggestion, which is to put a written signature paper in each rouge box."

"Signing a piece of paper?" Master Yang didn't understand.

Ning Miao nodded.

"Yes, it's the kind of fortune sticks you see in temples. Of course, the ones we put in there have to be the best ones. They can be related to health, career, or marriage."

"Madam, your idea is quite novel." Master Yang said with a smile.

This was the first time she had heard of this.

"Because everyone believes in this. If you buy a box of rouge, you can also get a good fortune, and everyone is happy."

"The most important thing is that before the box is opened, no one knows what is signed, so everyone will be curious and look forward to it. With this kind of mood, it will surely lead to sales."

Master Yang nodded and said, indeed.

She gave Ning Miao a thumbs up and said, "Madam, you are really tall."

"Then give it a try?"

"Try it."
