Chapter 464 Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream
Yu Wan's pupils trembled slightly.
It felt like there were tens of thousands of marmots screaming inside my head.
ahhh-
How could this man utter such lewd words with such a cool and aloof expression?!
Her cheeks instantly burned, as if scorched by fire, and even the tips of her ears turned crimson.
Yu Wan subconsciously bit her lower lip, her gaze darting away in a panic, not daring to meet the man's deep, unfathomable eyes again.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken, and every breath carried a dizzying, ambiguous atmosphere.
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense." Yu Wan finally managed to find her voice.
"Am I lying or not..." The man leaned closer, and the faint, cool fragrance emanating from him became clearer as he approached, lingering around Yu Wan's nose.
Yu Wan felt her heart pounding out of control.
His breathing became rapid.
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it came from the depths of his chest, with a hint of seduction, "Try it and you'll know."
After a long while, when the ambiguity in the air dissipated, Yu Wan's cheeks were still red.
Yun Shang has long arms and legs, so he can hold her in his arms almost effortlessly.
She was trapped in his arms and couldn't move. At this moment, Yu Wan inexplicably felt like she was being domineeringly loved by a male protagonist in an old-fashioned romance novel.
It's quite novel.
……
This New Year was the most fulfilling and joyful one Yu Wan had since transmigrating into the book. She spent her days strolling around and eating, and after seven days, she had gained at least ten pounds.
By the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all government offices and shops in the city that had been closed had reopened.
Yun Shang entered the palace early in the morning, and Yu Wan also got up early and went out with Xi Zhu.
She toured all the shops under her name before finally arriving at the newly opened Chunshui Pavilion.
Yu Wan originally thought that there wouldn't be many customers at Chunshui Pavilion during the New Year, but when she arrived at the entrance of Chunshui Pavilion, she found it packed with people.
Many excited voices also came out.
"Shopkeeper, I'd like two bottles of Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream!"
"I also want!"
"Don't you dare try to take it from me! I want three bottles!"
In winter, Chunshui Pavilion mainly sells the moisturizing and hydrating Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream, which Yu Wan made by following a recipe she learned online.
All the ingredients used are all-natural, and the effect is even better than Yu Wan expected.
The Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream was only launched at the end of the year, and not many were sold at that time. So Yu Wan didn't expect that so many customers would come to buy the Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream during the New Year.
No, it's not so much a purchase as a robbery.
The shopkeeper and staff of Chunshui Pavilion were pushed aside, and the customers simply took the boxes from the counter themselves, paid the money, put the boxes in their pockets, and ran away.
It seemed as if it was afraid that someone else would snatch it away from it.
Yu Wan: ...
The sales volume was beyond her expectations.
So what exactly happened this year?
Yu Wan stood at the entrance of Chunshui Pavilion, momentarily stunned.
She composed herself and glanced at Xizhu.
Xizhu understood and quickly walked into the store, shouting loudly, "Everyone, don't rush, line up properly, the store is full, everyone can buy something!"
Her clear voice rang out loudly amidst the noise, causing everyone to pause and turn to look at her.
Seeing that Xizhu was dressed as a maid, but her clothes were made of expensive fabric, making her look even more noble than the young ladies of ordinary families, most people quieted down.
When the shopkeeper saw Xizhu, he subconsciously glanced outside and saw Yu Wan. He immediately felt reassured.
He was no longer flustered and raised his voice, "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, we still have plenty of Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream in stock. We guarantee you will all leave with a full load!"
As he spoke, the shop assistants politely ushered the customers who had climbed onto the counter down. Everyone's attention was drawn to the shopkeeper, and they subconsciously stepped back.
Seeing that Chunshui Pavilion had returned to order, Yu Wancai led Xizhu to the second floor.
There was a small attic on the second floor, which she used as her office, mainly storing Chunshui Pavilion's account books and other items.
She stood upstairs and watched waves of people leave after buying the Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream. In less than half an hour, the more than two hundred bottles of Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream on the counter were sold out.
Yu Wan immediately told the shopkeeper to close the shop.
The shopkeeper hurriedly told his staff to close the shop and went upstairs to report.
He was sweating profusely even in the winter, which shows how much effort he had just exerted.
In the attic on the second floor, Yu Wan flipped through the accounts of Chunshui Pavilion, raised her eyes, and asked the manager, "Why is the Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream so popular?"
When it was first launched before the Lunar New Year, it didn't sell many bottles.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his brow, beaming with delight: "Reporting to the master, I've had someone inquire about it."
"A few days ago, it was Princess Jin's birthday. Many noble ladies from the capital were invited. At the banquet, everyone noticed that Princess Jin's skin was delicate, smooth, white and tender, which was completely different from usual, so they asked her about it out of curiosity."
Princess Jin then said that she had used the Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream from our Chunshui Pavilion, and the news spread like wildfire.
Yu Wan remembered that a few days ago, someone from the Prince of Jin's mansion had come to deliver an invitation. Shen Shi and Yu Wan were both busy at the time, so they only sent someone to deliver birthday gifts.
I had no idea that this would happen at the Princess Consort of Jin's birthday banquet.
She suddenly realized something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
It seems this is an unexpected free spokesperson.
She needs to find an opportunity to properly thank Princess Jin.
Yu Wan looked at the shopkeeper and methodically gave instructions, "Shopkeeper, immediately send someone to contact the suppliers we've worked with before to increase the purchase volume of raw materials. The price can be increased appropriately, but the quality must be guaranteed..."
The shopkeeper agreed to everything.
As the two were talking, a knocking sound suddenly came from downstairs.
Yu Wan and the shopkeeper heard the voices at the same time. The waiter downstairs saw that the person knocking on the door outside was persistent, so he had no choice but to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, an old woman dressed in silk clothes and adorned with exquisite pearls and jade squeezed in through the crack in the door.
As soon as she entered, she looked around and shouted, "What's going on with your shop? Why are you closing so early? Aren't you doing business?"
Seeing her unapproachable demeanor, the shop assistant became even more cautious, putting on a polite smile, "What would you like to buy, esteemed guest? I can get it for you."
The old woman glanced at him, noticing his coarse linen clothes and seemingly disgusted, and said with her chin raised, "I want to buy Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream, hurry up and bring it to me!"
The shopkeeper wasn't surprised and quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm really sorry, this batch of Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream is all sold out. Why don't you come back in a few days? I'll definitely save some for you as soon as it arrives."
Upon hearing this, the old woman's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips: "Do you know who I am? I am from the future wife's family of the Second Grand Secretary. The Second Grand Secretary's wife specifically requested this Jade Skin Cream. Do you dare to refuse?"
The future wife of the Second Grand Secretary?
The waiter was stunned and subconsciously glanced up at the second floor.
Isn't the Second Assistant Minister's wife their mistress? Is this old woman a servant of the Yun family?
The Hibiscus Jade Skin Cream was made by the lady. Why would her family send a maid to buy it?
The guy thought he wasn't thinking straight.
