Qian Ruoyu immediately understood and quickly said to the three concubines.
"You three, don't worry. Although these things are tributes, they are not tributes in the true sense, but are items that can rival tributes!"
Qian Ruoyu slightly corrected Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong also nodded immediately. After all, if this thing was really a tribute, it would be a serious crime of beheading!
"These are all brought back from the Western Regions by a friend of mine. They are guaranteed to be genuine. If you don't believe it, you can give them a try. They have just been opened."
Qian Ruoyu generously opened one of the boxes and let the three concubines try it.
The three concubines had never seen such high-end goods before, and they liked it very much when they saw it. Especially with the help of Qian Ruoyu and Concubine Rong, they gave it a try.
The makeup of the three of them is not bad. After adding Qian Ruoyu's rouge and gouache, they look even more beautiful and attractive.
So after trying Qian Ruoyu's things for a while, the three of them immediately showed happy smiles on their faces.
The effect of this makeup application is docile and natural, and it looks purely natural.
one of them asked.
"This...your rouge and gouache is not a vulgar product, but I'm afraid it's very expensive, right?"
After Qian Ruoyu heard this, she felt a little confused. After all, most of the things here were bought with one tael of silver and two taels of silver. How much price should be set for these concubines?
Too bad, I didn't determine the price in the palace before I came here. If the price was too low, I would suffer a loss. If the price was too high, I'm afraid the three concubines wouldn't dare to talk to me.
This made Qian Ruoyu hesitate in his heart.
Another concubine spoke up.
"Well...sisters are right. This thing is really delicate to use, and it also has a light floral fragrance. It doesn't make you feel uncomfortable when you apply it on your face. Instead, it feels very natural! This thing is not cheap.
!”
The last concubine also spoke.
"Isn't this thing of yours very expensive? If it is too expensive, we can't afford it! This kind of goods and this kind of quality are definitely worthy of tribute. I heard that there was a little boy last time.
My father-in-law took out the tribute rouge from the palace and sold it among the people for a full sixty taels of silver!"
Just when she heard what they said, Qian Ruoyu began to waver in her heart about the price. If it was sixty taels of silver, maybe it would be good to fluctuate up or down.
But apparently according to this concubine, sixty taels of silver was too much!
At this time, Concubine Rong also spoke.
"Sisters, please don't worry. Since my sister will bring the things here, it means that she knows the price, and I introduced her to her, so she will not charge you too high a price."
Concubine Rong is also defending Qian Ruoyu.
Qian Ruoyu thought for a moment, and if she offered a price that was too high, I'm afraid these concubines would not only not accept it, but would even make Concubine Rong lose face.
After all, she is not the emperor's favorite concubine, and her salary is still relatively small. Besides, more people will buy this batch of goods if they are sold out.
So after thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu decided to just cut it in half!
"Don't worry, the price I will give you is definitely the lowest. If you are willing, each of these boxes only costs thirty taels of silver! If you don't accept it, I can give it to you..."
But before Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, one of the concubines said in surprise.
"Ah! Do you only need thirty taels of silver?"
Several other people also nodded one after another and looked at Qian Ruoyu with attention.
Oops, it’s too low!
Sad!
Qian Ruoyu began to regret it at this time. She didn't expect that half the price would surprise these concubines, but now that she had spoken, there was no way to change it.
Qian Ruoyu could only say it slightly tactfully.
"Well...yes! After all, it was Sister Rong Fei who introduced you here. Naturally, I have to give you a lower price. Thirty taels of silver is my bid. I believe all the sisters have no objections, right?"
The three of them shook their heads at the same time.
"No, no, how can you have any objections? How many boxes do you, a pink fan, have? I want two boxes?"
"I also want two boxes of this goose yellow!"
The three of them were almost competing to speak, and Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly.
But after hearing the price mentioned by Qian Ruoyu, the first person who felt relieved was Concubine Rong!
What Concubine Rong said was right, she introduced the three concubines here. If Qian Ruoyu couldn't give a low price, then it would be Concubine Rong who would lose face.
And it is most likely to cause the relationship between Concubine Rong and the three sisters to deteriorate.
Concubine Rong had also expected that Qian Ruoyu would offer fifty taels of silver, but she did not expect that it would only be thirty taels of silver. It seemed that she really gave herself enough face!
At this time, Concubine Rong showed a slight smile on her face.
Qian Ruoyu helped the three concubines in front of him sort out some things and placed them in front of them.
"Okay, okay, here are your things put away for you, your fifth share, your third share, and your fourth share."
Seeing Qian Ruoyu preparing for them so thoughtfully, the three concubines were even more happy, and each of them looked at Qian Ruoyu a little more.
These things are not common in the palace, the quality is comparable to the tribute items, and the price is half lower, how can they not be happy.
But Qian Ruoyu took the opportunity to speak again at this time.
"Sisters, this price is for Sister Rong Fei's sake. I also hope that my sisters can help me recommend a few more sisters. This price can be considered as a reward for you!"
Concubine Rong felt more relieved when she saw that Qian Ruoyu was so good at talking. After all, she didn't need to speak in person this time.
Originally, Concubine Rong wanted to help Qian Ruoyu to persuade the concubines to help, but she didn't expect Qian Ruoyu to take the initiative to speak.
After the three concubines heard this, they all said one after another.
"No problem, no problem. I happen to have a younger sister who also wants rouge and gouache. I am worried about asking my little father-in-law to help bring some in from outside the palace, but the price is high and the products are not very good!"
"I'm going to bring her over right away to buy it, and I'll bring the money back with me. What do you think?"
Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly, and Concubine Rong also nodded with relief.
The other two concubines also said the same thing, and then left the palace one by one with the rouge and gouache they had just bought.
In order to prevent Qian Ruoyu from worrying, Concubine Rong said at this time.
"Don't worry, sister, the three of them are just going back to get the money to introduce the sisters. They will never take it away casually. I will definitely get this money back for you!"
Qian Ruoyu smiled softly and said calmly.
"Oh, sister, don't worry, I'm not worried about this!"
"But this time, with your help, sister, you really gave me a lot of support... I don't even know how to thank you, sister..."
