Chapter 354 Songji Silver House
Shen Youyou whispered: "Grandma, calm down. We won't go in. We'll just stand at the door and sell. Besides, can't you see that I'm wearing men's clothes?"
At this time, the door of the brothel opened. Behind the old man was an old procuress who was about the same age as Mrs. Hua. She was holding a round fan in her hand and twisting it with every step she took.
Seeing Old Lady Hua and Shen Youyou, they were stunned for a moment, probably wondering why this old man and young boy came to the brothel so early in the morning.
"I heard you boast that you can make Baihua Tower surpass Zuihuan Tower?"
Shen Youyou giggled: "How could that be? I came here to show you something."
As she spoke, she put down the bag in her hand, opened it, took out a large peony flower, and smiled at the madam with her eyes curved.
The madam didn't care at first, but when she saw what Shen Youyou was holding, she was stunned and stopped waving the fan in her hand.
Then she stepped down the stairs, took the peony hairpin from Shen Youyou's hand, and looked at it over and over again. Especially at this moment under the sunlight, the flower looked even more dazzling.
Then the old procuress no longer cared about her image. She squatted down and looked at the pile of colorful jewelry that Shen Youyou had placed on the ground. She was dazzled by the pile.
Shen Youyou said, "Boss, what do you think? Are you interested?"
"Then come in with me."
Shen Youyou shook her head, meaning: "Let's talk here."
But Mrs. Hua changed her mind at this time. She said to Shen Youyou: "You stay here, I'll go in."
"What?"
Shen Youyou even doubted her own ears. In fact, Shen Youyou came here just to make more money. After all, if she went to a silver shop to sell it, she would definitely be able to sell it, but then she would have to pay the purchase price.
If I sell some here, not too much, I will just sell some to get the money back to buy clothes for grandma. But I am not prepared to really go in.
After all, visiting a brothel is not a good thing, especially since she is actually a girl even though she is dressed in men's clothes.
Although she didn't mind, she didn't want it to get out and someone say bad things about her parents.
But Old Lady Hua realized now that the place her granddaughter was talking about where she could make more money was here. Indeed, brothels were full of spendthrifts who were all thinking about coming here, so how could they be reluctant to spend money on a hair flower?
Even if she is just an old rural lady and has never seen the world, has she never eaten pork, or seen a pig run?
Although she had never been in there, she had heard about it. Even though her granddaughter couldn't go in, what was there for her, an old lady, to be afraid of?
Just like that, Grandma Hua left her granddaughter outside and followed her in. Shen Youyou was worried, so she gritted her teeth and followed her in.
"What are you doing here?"
"I can't let you in by yourself."
However, Shen Youyou did not allow the pimp to close the door of the brothel, and he was right in their lobby, facing the main door.
The madam also understood what Shen Youyou and the others meant, so she asked someone to bring a table over, and Shen Youyou placed the bag directly on the table.
At this time, many girls upstairs were leaning against the stairs and looking down. Old Lady Hua looked around and blurted out, "Oh, these girls are so pretty."
His accent and down-to-earth way of praising made all the girls laugh.
A girl covered half of her face with a round fan and asked in a very pleasant voice, "Is this hair flower for sale?"
Old Lady Hua continued: "Yes, hair flowers will definitely be more pleasing to girls when worn on their heads."
The madam also waved her hand, and the girls walked down the stairs one by one.
Shen Youyou thought to herself: "You are just a brothel, do you really need to be so well-trained?"
As the girls took the pearl flowers and tried them on their sisters' heads, bursts of laughter and soft voices of praise reached the ears of Old Lady Hua.
Old Lady Hua seemed to see a lot of money going into her pocket, and she said happily:
"Look at these delicate flowers. They are perfect for a pretty girl like you. It will be a perfect match. Others will be unable to take their eyes off them when they see you."
Shen Youyou also chimed in, "It's not a big deal that this pearl flower can reflect the sunlight during the day, but at night, looking at the beauty under the candlelight is ten times better than in the daytime."
Half an hour later, Old Lady Hua brought Shen Youyou out of the brothel, and the old lady couldn't suppress the joy on her face.
The old lady also said to Shen Youyou that she had broadened her horizons today, and she guessed that other people in our nine clans didn't know what a brothel looked like.
He even came up to Shen Youyou and whispered, "How much money do you think we made this time?"
Shen Youyou said: "If the package is sold at the normal price, it would be 16 taels of silver, but we sell it at double the price, so we estimate that we can make 32 taels. It's more than enough for you to buy a set of clothes."
Mrs. Hua waved her hands quickly: "I won't buy it."
But the old lady still had a question: "Don't we still have a package? Why don't we sell it?"
"We can sell the rest to the silver shop. These girls have already bought the older ones. They won't buy pearl flowers every day. We still have to look for the silver shop for long-term orders."
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Although the silver shop will probably have to return to the price it set at the beginning, it would be nice if we could keep the stock. My granddaughters can make so many hairpins in three or four days. If the silver shop can pay for everything..."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She no longer felt awkward when she first put on the clothes.
In front of Songji Silver House,
They heard from their brothers that they had bought the copper wire from this shop. As soon as Shen Youyou and the others stood at the door, a waiter came out to greet them. He called Old Lady Hua "Madam" and asked what kind of jewelry they wanted to see.
His tone was still very polite. This was also the reason why Shen Youyou bought clothes for his grandmother first. At the beginning, when his brothers came to buy copper wire, they went back and said that the second youngest brother was a little indifferent.
Isn't it obvious? The brothers came in in coarse cloth and shorts, and they were a bunch of young men. I guess they just saw that the brothers were tall and strong, otherwise they would be even more rude.
It’s different now. My grandmother’s clothes look like those of a wealthy family in the county town, so their attitude is definitely different.
Look at the fawning look on the waiter's face as he smiled at her breasts, especially when he saw the chrysanthemum headdress on her nipples, his eyes almost narrowed together.
To be honest, the waiter really thought that Old Lady Hua was an old lady from a wealthy family, but a relatively low-key one. Although the old lady was not dressed very luxuriously, the pearl flower on her head was very unusual. Anyway, they didn't have that kind of thing in their store.
As for Shen Youyou, the waiter ignored him, mainly because he treated him as a servant.
However, this silver shop is still very grand, with a spacious storefront and a vermilion door inlaid with golden rivets, shining brightly in the sun.
After entering, a faint scent of sandalwood hits your nose.
The interior of the store is very exquisitely decorated, with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, showing the owner's elegant taste.
The counter is made of the finest pear wood and polished to be as smooth as a mirror. Various gold, silver and jewellery are displayed on it, sparkling and dazzling.
On the shelf behind the counter are exquisite silver items, including delicate vases, ingenious incense burners, and uniquely shaped wine glasses.
In the corner of the store, there is a small private seat, probably for guests to relax and enjoy the food.
