The spring breeze blew the catkins, and the fragrance of flowers and powder in Babaozhai floated out for three miles. One by one, beautiful girls stood at the door of the store, holding flowers or powder, and wearing beautiful beaded hairpins on their heads, constantly greeting women. The woman came into the store to have a look.
Good guy, the store promotions these days have been so elaborate, what a pretty girl.
I don’t know which business genius can come up with such a good publicity method.
"Hey, grandma, you're here, come in quickly." The waiter from Babaozhai saw the Xie family's carriage from a distance. When he saw Gu Ruosu and others getting off the carriage, he was extremely happy and just called The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper immediately came forward with several respectable subordinates to greet him enthusiastically.
Some of the uninformed people were surprised to see the shopkeeper, who usually only collected money at the counter and did not greet customers, being so groveling and flattering. They all whispered to each other which dignitary this person was from, and who had such a great reputation. .
Some insiders, looking at the appearance of those people, were good-tempered and explained the reason, and the uninformed people suddenly understood.
Babaozhai was opened in the capital ten years ago. What kind of place is the capital? There are dignitaries everywhere. If you take down a brick and smash three of them, there must be at least two and a half people there. If you want to be safe and sound in the capital, In doing business, in addition to real ability, you must also have a backer.
For example, the backer of the Jiuqu Pavilion is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance of the current dynasty, and the backer of the Jingmo Pavilion is the current His Majesty's uncle, the old prince Long'an. The backer of the Babaozhai has two, and the first one is the backer. , is the Gu family of the imperial merchants. It is no exaggeration to say that there will be business of the Gu family on every street that you pass by. This is the so-called wealth all over the world. But this is not the most important thing. After all, what is an imperial merchant? Although the Gu family is rich, it is not as powerful as a minister. How could the capital allow an imperial merchant to take such a big piece of the pie? But if the second level is added No one dares to offend the current powerful and favored minister, Duke Yan, but it is also the Gu family's ancestral tomb that is smoking. Who would have thought that the Gu family's aunt would be so discerning and choose such a potential stock as Duke Yan? Marry, once married, the two surnames were tied into the same boat. Who in the capital would not give Duke Yan some dignity?
Relying on the authority and reputation of the Duke of Yan, the development of Babao Zhai and other large-scale industries of the Gu family in the capital can be said to be smooth. Therefore, the shopkeeper of Babao Zhai saw the aunt of the Gu family, Gu Ruosu, the wife of Duke Yan. , this living Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, let alone greet him in person, I guess he would even be willing to carry Gu Ruosu's shoes in person.
Don't call the shopkeeper a philistine, he calls this reality~
The shopkeeper respectfully led the person into the box of Babaozhai, served tea and fruits, stood aside and said with a smile:
"Madam, why are you here in person today? If you want anything, ask the servant at home to come here and tell me, and I will deliver it to you personally."
"That's not necessary. I can't let you move the whole shop to my house. I can just do whatever I want. Only after I see it and put it on will I know if it suits me. Don't go back and buy it. It's suitable, just leave it somewhere to gather dust."
"Yes, yes, Madam, you are right, what do you want to see today?"
"I don't have anything I want to see. Anyway, I will see whatever is expensive. As for my three granddaughters, they are all as young as a flower. Just go and have someone bring some of the most fashionable things in the capital, daughter. Children’s homes all have the same thoughts.”
The shopkeeper was a smart person, so he immediately ordered to bring over several sets of noodles that had just been made in the store for several people to choose from.
In order to keep up with the trend, Babao Zhai will launch several new sets of jewelry every ten days and a half. Now, in front of the three little girls of the Xie family, there are twelve pieces of emerald peach blossom head noodles, nine pieces of silk peacock dot emerald head noodles, Six pieces of pure gold rubies and peony heads, and sixteen pieces of glazed begonia heads are the new jewelry just launched by Babaozhai this season. Each piece is exquisitely crafted with unique craftsmanship.
Xie Yihua and Xie Yignian were very happy when they saw these jewelry. They picked up one piece with their left hand to look at it, and picked up one piece with their right hand to touch. Finally, they chose two pieces and put them on their heads. They looked in the mirror again and they really laughed. Brighter than flowers.
Gu Ruosu's sharp eyes noticed that Xie Yi was just sitting on one side, drinking tea, occasionally picking up one or two items to look at and then putting them down again, showing a lack of interest.
"Girl Si, what's wrong? You don't like these?" Gu Ruosu couldn't help but ask.
When Xie Yi heard her grandmother call her name, she was not easy to coax. She said directly: "To my grandmother, these heads and faces are very beautiful, but my granddaughter likes rubies the most. If there are no rubies, my granddaughter doesn't really want to take them home."
"I heard that Babaozhai also produced some pieces of jewelry made of rubies. Shopkeeper, why don't you bring them up?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately explained: "Miss Sun, I see that you are also a modest person, so you also know that these ruby jewelry are paired with skirts and embroidered shoes, and now they are all worn in a complete set. The costumed lady is on display in the center of the second floor. This... is not... I don't want to bring it up... it's really not easy to bring it up..."
"Mannequin?" Gu Ruosu muttered softly, and she admired these people who came up with these ideas even more. It is simply the thinking of modern people.
The shopkeeper looked at Gu Ruosu's sudden change of expression and thought that Gu Ruosu was dissatisfied with his approach. He quickly wiped away the big beads of sweat and said:
"Miss Sun, why don't I take you to see it personally and find you a good seat? You go and have a look. If you like it, I'll have someone wrap it up for you right away?"
The shopkeeper said that his attitude was cautious, and although Xie Yiyi was pampered, he was not an overbearing and unreasonable child. He nodded immediately and followed the shopkeeper out.
"You two should also follow your sister to take a look. Maybe you will like some of the clothes and skirts that dress up the ladies."
"But grandma, the jewelry here is also very beautiful. It's so beautiful that my granddaughter hasn't finished looking at it yet."
"What's the problem? We all need these jewelry. Each of you three sisters will get a piece of each set of hair and face. We can take turns wearing them when we go home. Every little girl should have a few more sets of jewelry." Gu Ruosu could tell at a glance. Seeing the confusion on Xie Yihua's face, he simply waved his hand and wrapped it up.
As soon as these words came out, even Xie Yihua, who had been silent all this time, thanked Gu Ruosu for his generosity, and his words were filled with the joy and anger of his daughter's family.
Afterwards, the two held hands and took a few maids and slaves to chase Xie Yi, who had already gone out for a while.
