"To be honest, these are good things sent from the Western Regions. They passed through three roads and sixteen roads along the way, and visited a total of forty-eight counties. It was not an easy journey!"
"The whole process will take more than three months. If it is sold in the capital, the price of each small box will reach seventy or eighty taels of silver."
When everyone heard this sentence, their eyes widened instantly, a little unbelievable at the price.
But then everyone felt relieved.
They know clearly whether the quality of rouge gouache is good or bad, after all, they have already tried it.
All they want is a suitable price.
Of course, the salary of an unpopular concubine in the palace is not so high, so she naturally wants to get good things cheaply.
Qian Ruoyu initially threw a depth charge just to catch everyone's appetite.
The three concubines who originally bought Qian Ruoyu's rouge and gouache at a low price now began to cooperate.
"Yes, yes, Princess Ye herself is not simple. If she doesn't have great skills or has acquaintances in the Western Regions, where can she buy these rouge and gouache?"
"It is said," said the second concubine, "that this rouge and gouache would be sold for more than fifty taels of silver in the Western Regions, not to mention how dangerous the transportation process is!"
The third concubine continued: "What Princess Ye does is really not easy. Sisters, we must cherish this opportunity and see how good the price Princess Ye will give us."
Qian Ruoyu spoke after seeing how cooperative everyone was.
"Oh, my sisters have said so, and what's new is familiar again. We will continue to cooperate in the future, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"In this case, I won't charge my sisters too high prices. Each box of the things here only costs fifty taels of silver. If you are willing, you can take it away. If you are not willing, I will have to let my sister feel wronged.
Just a moment..."
When she saw Qian Ruoyu say this, one of the concubines immediately slapped the table and said.
"no problem!"
"I want all seven boxes. You wait a moment, and all the sisters, please wait a moment. I will go back to my small courtyard and bring the money over. You wait a moment..."
After saying that, the concubine turned around and started to get the silver.
When the other concubines saw this appearance, they naturally began to scramble one after another. They said goodbye to Qian Ruoyu first, and then left Concubine Rong's palace.
At this time, Qian Ruoyu looked at Yan'er beside her.
Qian Ruoyu gave her a casual look, and Yan'er came to Qian Ruoyu's ear and whispered.
"Don't worry, Madam, I have brought everything out. We can only bring so much in total, and now they are all sold..."
Qian Ruoyu didn't expect that he could sell everything he brought this time so smoothly.
Qian Ruoyu was even happier inside, wondering how much money she could make from it this time.
And not long after that, all the concubines returned to Concubine Rong's palace.
One of the concubines even asked five palace maids to come over with plates.
The plates in the hands of these five palace maids were almost all filled with silver.
After all, she purchased a large amount of rouge and gouache, so she brought hundreds of taels of silver over at once.
Not long afterward, I saw that the entire table was filled with all kinds of silver, and there were even more than a dozen ingots of gold in it.
Seeing all this money, Qian Ruoyu was already squandering it a little and was becoming more and more charming.
But Qian Ruoyu restrained himself and said to the concubines in front of him.
"Thank you sisters for taking care of me. Please take all these things back. If there are good goods next time, do you still need to inform your sisters?"
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, they began to speak one after another.
"That's nature, that's nature!"
"Oh, I only brought two hundred taels of silver this time. I can't store much silver in my small yard. If you come here next time, I will definitely prepare more silver. You should eat less and save more on weekdays.
Money to buy your rouge and gouache."
Almost everyone has this attitude.
This made Qian Ruoyu feel more at ease. It seemed that he could easily open up sales in the palace, but this was only one of the sales.
After all, there are so many people in the inner courtyard of the palace, even these concubines, there are other concubines, and even other concubines near the palace street are all dignitaries.
Qian Ruoyu doesn't need to worry about whether the rouge and gouache she bought will not be sold.
Then Qian Ruoyu said goodbye to the concubines who left happily one by one. Only Qian Ruoyu and Concubine Rong were left in the palace.
Qian Ruoyu could see that Concubine Rong was indeed not just a simple concubine, but also her good sister.
If she wasn't her good sister, how could Concubine Rong be so willing to help her? This made Qian Ruoyu's sales very smooth this time.
Before Qian Ruoyu could say her thanks, Concubine Rong had already said.
"Okay, okay, don't say any more polite words. Those words are useless. Don't worry, I won't take a penny from you. You can take the money with you as you like."
"But if you still have these good things next time, be sure to bring them to my bedroom."
Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly.
"Hey, good sister, you helped me so much this time, how could I not come to your place next time? No matter what, I will only come to you first in the future, even if I am the Queen Mother, I don't care!"
But just after Qian Ruoyu said these words, Concubine Rong panicked.
Her expression changed slightly and she quickly said to Qian Ruoyu.
"Sister, don't say such nonsense!"
"The Queen Mother is a phoenix body, and she is the mother of all people in the world. If people hear gossip, this is not good. This is a serious crime!"
Qian Ruoyu knew that only Concubine Rong would kindly remind herself that if it were anyone else, she would have already said what she said.
In the palace, such words may have ears through the walls. If a palace maid or eunuch heard them, they would naturally have to be arranged. Moreover, in this era, it is indeed treasonous, but Qian Ruoyu doesn't care.
After all, there were only Qian Ruoyu and Concubine Rong in this palace, and even Yan'er was moving money outside at this time and didn't even notice what was going on inside.
Qian Ruoyu said without hesitation.
"Good sister, you are my really good sister. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have said a word to anyone else."
"Don't worry. In the inner courtyard of the palace from now on, I will only recognize you as my good sister. If you need my help with anything, just say it. As long as I, Qian Ruoyu, can do it, I will do it."
