Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

On the bustling street of Yangzhou City, there is a shop with novel decoration from a distance. There is a house number hanging on the side of the shop door, and a simple and elegant painting is painted on the tall house number. Among the colorful flowers, the colorful butterflies that were supposed to dance in the paintings gave up the fragrant flowers and danced around the ladies. The three words [Yueyifang] are gracefully and implicitly described in colorful ink on the side of the painting.

Just the painting on the plaque makes people curious, but at the same time it also shows that this is a woman's business. As for what kind of business it is, you have to go into the store to find out.

Outside the shop door, there were quite a few well-dressed ladies and ladies who were helped into the shop by maidservants. Inside the shop, a woman in her twenties led several fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls to greet those ladies and ladies with warm smiles. .

In the private room facing the street in the tea house diagonally opposite the shop, Meng Yan sat in front of the window drinking tea while watching the situation of the shop opposite. Although the shop was not full, it was still full of people and customers.

"It seems that there are quite a few people here."

"This is all your idea, Miss. Almost half of the ladies and ladies in Yangzhou City have come." Uncle De looked at Meng Yan with admiration.

At the beginning, he was not very optimistic about the perfume shop opened by the lady. After all, whether people can accept this new thing is still a matter of opinion; but after the lady asked Mrs. Min to bring perfume to visit the magistrate's wife, he knew that the perfume shop of the lady was successful. up.Now looking at the ladies and ladies who came out of the shop with big bags and small bags proved that the lady's eyes were right.

"Yesterday, an incense shop has researched a new variety, which is lotus-scented. Now it's hot in summer, and it's best to use the refreshing and elegant lotus dew. Uncle De, you will tell Miss Min to give it to the magistrate as soon as possible." Send it, madam."

"The old slave remembered it."

Meng Yan picked up the pastry with her delicate little hand like a jade carving and took a bite. Even though she was small, her movements were graceful, and it was pleasing to watch.

Meng Yan used the prefect's wife to help advertise, and whenever there was a new product, she would be the first to give it to the prefect's wife, which made the prefect's wife shine among all the ladies.

Of course, Meng Yan spent a lot of money on opening a shop. He has managed the government and government officials and other ghosts and monsters. Meng Yan has no experience.No matter which era, this unspoken rule is indispensable.In addition, in order to advertise [Yueyifang], Meng Yan sent a set of dozens of bottles of perfume to the magistrate's wife ten days in advance.But the hard work finally paid off. The perfume used by the prefect's wife spread among the ladies. This is an advertisement for Meng Yan's shop. Didn't it happen that so many people came on the first day of opening today? It's all because of Lai Advertisement for Madam Prefect.

"Remember to remind Mrs. Min that they must be patient and considerate to those husbands and ladies. In addition, don't forget that the guests have requests, so remember to tell me."

Mrs. Min is the woman in her 20s in the perfume shop. She was originally a talented lady, but Mrs. Min's husband, Mr. Xiucai, was sick in bed all year round and her two children were still young. Mrs. Min had to go out to work for her livelihood.When Meng Yan was recruiting, she also applied, and just because she was literate and good-natured, Meng Yan kept her.

Few women are willing to come out to show their faces in this era, and Mrs. Min had to come out as a last resort.In addition, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls in the perfume shop were all bought by Meng Yan from Ren Yazi, and they signed a death contract, otherwise Meng Yan could not rest assured.

"Miss, don't worry, you have told this old slave before, and you have repeatedly told Mrs. Min and them."

"That's good."

The shop on the opposite side where people come and go is Meng Yan's first shop - the perfume shop.After thinking about it, Meng Yan finally decided to open a shop to sell incense.One is that in this era, there are scented dews for women, and it is not too eye-catching for her to sell a perfume.

As for the soap glass, she hasn't thought about it yet. After all, she has no right and no money now. The profiteering things like soap glass are too eye-catching for her to take out. It's life-threatening.

In her previous life, Meng Yan had a double Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, and occasionally involved in other science subjects. She paid attention to knowledge and knowledge.She has studied such things as perfume, soap, glass, etc. Meng Yan, a scientist, will of course not let go of anything classified into chemical biology. She knew those formulas in her previous life; She not only remembered those recipes for cheating and comprehension, but also seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she would never forget them.

But if she doesn't do it now, it doesn't mean she won't do it in the future. She will get these things out when she has a chance in the future. Who would think money is too much.Whether it is Xiaobao's official career in the future or planning money for the future of the Meng family, there is no shortage of money.

Besides, even if she can't use up the money earned from the rich and powerful, she can still use it to do good deeds and accumulate merit, so why not do it.

Ha ha, I thought a little too far.

Seeing the people coming and going in the shop, Meng Yan also heaved a sigh of relief, the shop was finally opened, and finally there was no need to just go in and out if there was income.

In the past two months, Meng Yan has been really busy. Although she doesn't have to worry about buying land and buying a shop, she does her best to deal with the decoration of the shop. In addition, she has set up a fragrance workshop to study the production of perfume and design perfume packaging. Porcelain... She has to decide or handle everything. Pity her small body, which has been busy for two months, and all the small flesh on her body has lost weight.

"Miss, do you want to visit the shop?"

"No, the rest will be up to you, Uncle De, my mother is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first."

After sending Meng Yan downstairs to the carriage, Uncle De turned around and went to the back door of the shop when the carriage was far away.

The Meng family strictly abides by feudal ethics and pays attention to fame and integrity. Although she promised to let Meng Yan take care of outside affairs and let Meng Yan do business, she didn't want Meng Yan to show her face outside, and asked Meng Yan to report to her every time she went out. .And because of Meng Yan's disappearance before, Meng Yan spent a lot of time before Meng Shi agreed to let her go out.So although Meng Yan was in charge of the outside affairs, she rarely showed up. Most of the time, she let Uncle De take the lead; and every time she went out, she had to see Meng Shi to reassure her.

After returning home, Meng Yan didn't rest and went directly to Meng's to say hello.Since moving to the new house, the mother and son have not lived together anymore. Xiaobao lived in the front yard of the two courtyards, Meng Yan and Meng lived in the back yard; Meng lived in the main house in the back yard, and Meng Yan lived in the west. Wing.

"Where's my mother?"

From a distance, I saw Qinliu, the servant girl of the Meng family, sitting in the yard not far from the door embroidering.Qinliu was the servant girl Meng Yan arranged to serve the Meng family.

"Miss!" Qin Liu looked up to see Meng Yan's surprised face, but the miss came back.

"Slave maid greets Miss, Miss, you are back, Madam has been waiting for you."

"Is my mother in the house?" Meng Yan said as she was about to enter the house, but Qin Liu hurriedly stopped her.

"Miss, Madam has just fallen asleep, Madam has told you to wake her up when you come back, Madam..."

"No need, just let Madam have a good rest, and I will greet Madam when Madam wakes up."

"Miss, madam asked Aunt Zhao to cook your favorite dishes." Qin Liu followed Meng Yan as she said that, she had to stare at miss while eating, otherwise madam would feel distressed when she found out.

"Understood, I will go to have dinner, you don't have to follow, or Madam won't be served when she wakes up."

There is no need to guess that Meng Yan also knows that Meng must have been worried about her and waited at home all morning until she was tired before falling asleep.Meng Yan is very helpless like this. She never thought that her mother would be so frightened when she disappeared for a few days. As soon as she moved, she would immediately lose her mind; Meng Yan had the idea of ​​wanting to grow up a bit.

Staring at her like this is not only inconvenient for her to do things, but also inconvenient for her to practice. She is afraid that one day when she is meditating, Meng will suddenly come to see her and interrupt her cultivation.You must know that cultivation requires absolute tranquility and meditation. If you are disturbed by others, you will go crazy.It can be said that Meng's temperament, which is like a soldier, has caused great troubles to Meng Yan.

Especially recently because these days are too busy, so busy that sometimes Meng Yan forgets to eat, Meng is very angry about this, so she often stares at Meng Yan to eat, not only she stares at herself, but also the servants in the mansion. ordered.

Now Meng Yan has changed her practice time to night after Meng Shi goes to bed, in order to prevent Meng Shi from visiting her in the middle of the night to tuck her in the quilt, but Meng Yan lights incense in Meng Shi's room every day to make people sleep .Meng's habit of tucking quilts for her and Xiaobao was developed when she was in Miaoyue Nunnery.

After a simple meal, Meng Yan went to the study in the front yard to look for Xiaobao. For the convenience of her and Xiaobao's study, they temporarily set up together.

"The two Zhuangzi I bought, what do you think we can grow?" Meng Yan doesn't know much about agriculture in this era. Xiaobao was exiled to the farm in his previous life and grew up in the Zhuangzi. Knowing something, this is what she thought.

After waiting for a long time to see Xiaobao answering the question, Meng Yan raised her head from the account book: "I asked you something, did you hear it?" Don't be stupid about reading.

"I heard it. It's just that I don't know about the crops." Of course he heard Xiaoya's words, but he really doesn't know about this kind of field.

"You don't know? Didn't you say that you grew up in Zhuangzi before? Even if you haven't planted it, you have seen it."

"The things in Zhuangzi are taken care of by myself. I don't have time to take care of those when I study every day."

"So that's the case. No wonder you rushed your exam to kill you. It turns out that you have never exercised before." She said a long time ago, how could a young man die in the rain after being a little frightened? I haven't exercised before, and it's natural to be in poor health.

But when I think of those scholars I have seen here, almost all of them look like thin little white faces. No wonder the old saying goes that a weak scholar, who can't lift his shoulders or carry it with his hands, is a scholar who is useless.

Look at Xiaobao who is almost as tall as her, but he looks much stronger now. It is because she forced him to practice martial arts with her that he has such a healthy body.Thinking about how Xiaobao will take the imperial examination to become an official in the future, she will definitely not be able to do what he did in his previous life. She has to find a way to train him well.

"Well, the day after tomorrow I'll ask Zhuangzi to see you come with me." Meng Yan decided not to give Xiaobao a chance to protest.
