Chereads / The best servant / Chapter 281 - fraud

Chapter 281 - fraud

"Going to bed early and getting up early will keep you healthy. People in the world will learn from me and be happy." Lin Wanrong got up humming a ditty. After being sleepy last night, he had a very peaceful sleep. When I came out, I saw that the room opposite was empty. The two ladies had already gotten up and disappeared somewhere.

 While I was doing morning exercises out of boredom, a maid with a flushed face from the cold trotted in and shouted: "Third brother, third brother——"

 Lin Wanrong recognized her. She was the servant girl assigned by Mrs. Song to the eldest lady last night. She was called Huan'er. She was petite and exquisite, and she was really cute.

 "Sister Huan'er, what's going on? Hey, there's a cockroach on your head, let me remove it for you." Lin Wanrong said in a feigned surprise.

 Huan'er screamed in fright, jumped to him and hugged his arm: "Third brother, where are you? Where are you?"

 "Third brother is here!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, getting up early in the morning to tease the little girl, life is so damn good.

 Huan'er realized that she had been fooled, her face turned red, she let go of his arm, and whispered: "Third brother, the eldest lady asked me to come and take a look. She said that if you get up, please go over and have breakfast."

 Lin Wanrong yawned and said: "Then I'll report back to the eldest lady and tell her that I haven't gotten up yet. I fell asleep in a hurry last night and was so miserable that I didn't even have time to take a shower. I must take a good bath later. After a while, go back to sleep. Oh, sister Huan'er, I see you have grown quite a lot. Are you in your teens this year? "

 "Sixteen, turning seventeen!" Huan'er said softly.

 "Is that so? You're so young? It seems I can't make a big mistake. Huan'er, come in later and give me a back rub."

 Ah, the little girl was so frightened that she ran away like a gust of wind. Lin Wanrong laughed three times arrogantly. If it weren't for looking for Qingxuan, I would tease the maid and hug my wife like this every day. How carefree I lived.

 He came to Beijing to do two things. One is to help the eldest lady manage the business in Beijing, and the other is to look for Qingxuan. The mysterious meeting last night gave him a lot of confidence. He could meet by chance. Could he still not find it if he concentrated on looking for it?

 It's been a long journey and I slept soundly last night, so taking a shower early in the morning is still a must. All the women living in the inner courtyard were women, and he was really embarrassed to have to work for other girls to carry bath water.

 Finally, the big wooden bucket was filled with hot water. Then he got some soap, took off his clothes and got into the bucket. A warm feeling of slight scalding came, making the pores all over his body clear and feeling indescribably comfortable.

 With his whole body feeling limp, he sighed comfortably. He pulled it gently with his hands and stroked hard a few times, and hummed in his mouth: "I swim, I swim. I swim, swim, swim!"

 Just as I was enjoying my bath, I heard light footsteps coming from outside the door, and a woman's voice rang outside the door: "Are you in the house? What are you doing? Why don't you come out to eat?"

 Why doesn't it even have a name? If I weren't familiar with you, I wouldn't know who you were talking to. He buried his head in the water for a while. Then he raised his head and took a breath, shook the water drops on his head, and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm taking a shower, you must not come in, otherwise I will call it indecent assault."

 Xiao Yuruo heard it funny outside. Take a shower in the morning? This man never speaks seriously, and every word he speaks is a lie.

 "It's weird to believe you!" The eldest lady muttered: "What are you doing? Come out quickly, or I will come in."

 "I'm warning you, don't come in, or you will be responsible for the consequences."

 Lin San's words sounded a bit harsh, and the eldest lady naturally didn't believe him. Seeing that he wouldn't come out, she became stubborn and pushed the door open without thinking.

 "Ah——" The two people screamed at the same time.

 Lin Wanrong was sitting in the wooden barrel, with water dripping from his hair, when he saw the eldest lady rushing in with a wooden plate in her hand. On the plate were rice porridge, steamed buns and several exquisite side dishes, which were obviously prepared for him.

 "Miss, you saw my virginity, you have to be responsible for me!" Lin San said with a smile.

 "You, you, why don't you wear clothes?" Xiao Yuruo was shy and anxious, turned her head quickly and said angrily.

 Khan, is there a place to put on clothes and take a shower? Lin Wanrong chuckled: "Didn't I tell you? I'm taking a shower! Why don't you believe me? How can you be responsible for me now?"

 The eldest lady hurriedly exited the room, her cheeks burning, and when she saw the exquisite breakfast, she couldn't help but snorted in embarrassment.

 After taking a shower, he felt comfortable and energetic. Lin Wanrong pushed the door open and saw the eldest lady sitting in front of the door in a daze, her eyes dull and she didn't know what she was thinking.

 "Forget it, it's my misfortune. You've seen it all, so I'll just take the loss and I won't hold you accountable. Don't be so sad, just do whatever you have to do!" Lin Wanrong said generously.

 "Disgusting!" The eldest lady snorted with a blushing face. She was neither angry nor smiling. Compared with last night, this person seemed to be a completely different person. Seeing him reaching for the plate, she hurriedly said: "Don't use it. The food is cold. I asked them to change it to something warmer."

 Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "The eldest lady still loves me!"

 "Who cares about you?" The eldest lady snorted softly, her cheeks turning red: "You will be lazy, and you still want me to serve you. If others see it, it will be strange if it doesn't lead to gossip!"

 "Gossip? What gossip? What is the eldest lady afraid of?" Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said casually: "Gossip comes from idlers. In this world, the thing I am least afraid of is gossip."

 The eldest lady felt a little panicked when she saw that his eyes were half-smile but not smiling. She lowered her head hurriedly, not daring to look at him.

 "You, you will cheat on me!" Xiao Yuruo's eyes were filled with light smoke, feeling a little aggrieved and a little moved, and said softly: "Where was the lantern yesterday? I want to see it!"

 "Throw it away, throw it away here." Lin Wanrong said cheerfully: "A broken lamp, what's so good about it."

 The eldest lady's nose was sore, her silver teeth clenched, she lowered her head and cried: "Liar, you are a liar, a liar who only deceives me!"

 According to the eldest lady's plan, this trip to the capital was mainly to sell perfume and soap. Although Mrs. Xiao was born in Beijing, she has been away from Beijing for many years and has few connections left. The Xiao family is unknown in Beijing and knows few dignitaries. After Xiao Yuruo came, he had to start from scratch.

 The Xiao family has a great cause in Jinling and has a solid foundation. Everything they want to do can be answered easily. But the capital city is not as good as Jinling. There are dragons and crouching tigers under the emperor's feet, and those who stand in the way are all relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles. Although the Xiao family has been operating here for many years, most of them are in the cloth business. At this time, the bank is required to operate rouge and gouache, even if it is soap and Perfume has extraordinary magic. You have to start from scratch. It can be said that there are opportunities and challenges at the same time.

 The eldest lady frowned. Mrs. Song, who was sitting next to her, didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing her train of thought. The second young lady sat next to Lin Wanrong and looked at him with a smile on her face. She will be seventeen after the new year, one year older. According to Madam's instructions, she will also be required to participate in discussions on the Xiao family's affairs in the future.

 "Lin San, what do you think our first step should be? Should we visit my mother's old friends first, or should we rely on Sister Song's connections and start step by step?" the eldest lady asked.

 For Lin Wanrong, this problem is really a piece of cake. He has personally experienced countless cases. Launch of new products. It's just overwhelming advertising and endless promotional packaging. Let people remember it and use it, and that counts as success.

 But in this era, we need to be careful about how to package and advertise perfumes and soaps according to the target audience. These ladies don't like suspenders or wear lace. They are all gentle women, and they also need to pay attention to their sales skills.

 Yushuang saw that her sister was frowning, but Lin San was smiling. Based on her understanding of him, she must have some magic method, so she nudged him on the shoulder and said, "If you have any method, just tell me." Well, don't make sister anxious."

 Lin Wanrong whispered: "You promised me last night that you would kiss me after you guessed the lantern riddles. Why did you run away first?" The second lady spat lightly, her face turned red with shame, and she did not dare to speak.

 Lin Wanrong laughed, stood up and said: "Miss, both of the methods you proposed are reasonable, you can give them a try. If nothing else, at least you can become familiar with each other. As for whether it has any effect, that is another matter. ."

 The eldest lady said dissatisfiedly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me. You always like to play riddles. Be careful, I will report you to my mother."

 Lin Wanrong was sweating, the eldest lady must have run out of tricks, she actually used my wife to suppress me. He chuckled and said: "Although the methods mentioned by the eldest lady are feasible, they are all based on other people's faces and are not safe. The money earned from this perfume and soap belongs to us, and I should be the main one. "

 "How can I be the main one?" the eldest lady asked.

 "It's very simple! We take the initiative, advertise, hold exhibitions, and promote products. With the charm of perfume and soap, it is not difficult to cause a sensation." Seeing the contemplative look in the eldest lady's eyes, Lin Wanrong continued: "These products of ours The main consumer group of the landlord is the ladies in Beijing. If you want to attract their attention, you must have their appetite. In my opinion, it is better to hold a fragrance tasting party."

 "Incense tasting party? What incense tasting party?" Several people in the room asked together.

 "Think about it, if you put perfume and flowers together, what would be the effect?" Lin Wanrong reminded.

 "Better smelling than flowers!" The eldest lady clapped her hands and said with surprise on her face.

 Lin Wanrong clicked his tongue and said: "The eldest lady is really smart as ice and snow, and she can show it through! Xiaosheng admires her."

 The eldest lady looked at him charmingly and said angrily: "Don't mock me, I probably understand what you mean. But how can we get all the ladies to come to our incense tasting party?"

 "Every spring, various flower viewing parties are held in endlessly, and ladies and ladies have to go out to enjoy them. Isn't it too difficult to find such an opportunity to hold a fragrance tasting party? On-site promotion, free trial, both elegant and original, the effect is It will be sensational. Remember, opportunities only favor those who are prepared." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

 Xiao Yuruo nodded slightly, and the second lady was also overjoyed and said softly to Lin Wanrong: "Lin San, come out for a moment." After saying that, he ran out of the house quickly.

 Lin Wanrong ignored the surprised look in the eldest lady's eyes and hurriedly followed her out.

 The second young lady hid behind the flower bed and waved to him. When she saw him coming, she couldn't help but blush, her eyes were slightly closed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Bad guy, kiss me!
