The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 15: This is an amazing business opportunity

Ji Man naturally knew why she was here, but she still outwardly showed a surprised expression, "You actually had given it to Honored Concubine Xue to use?"

Danzhu nodded. She saw that there were still several containers on the dressing table, so she said, "Master Sang, you also know this. My master can't use the cosmetics being sold in the stores, so she was naturally very fond of the cream that you made. Master Sang, would you be willing to give up some of your favorite item again?

Muxu knew that her master had made several containers worth. She had only given Danzhu a small container. There were still five, large, sealed up containers left.

Unexpectedly, Ji Man furrowed her brow and seemed as if she was being put into a difficult position. She looked at Danzhu for a long time before she finally said, "This is a very rare item. I don't have much of it myself. Muxu had secretly given you that cream. The other courtyards weren't told about this."

This implication was that there weren't free lunches in the world.

Danzhu didn't know how to respond for a moment. She followed up by saying the words that Honored Concubine Xue had told her on the way out, "My master said, this confinement courtyard is cold and cheerless. Master Sang, you probably don't want to stay here any longer than you have to. Since the Old Madame will be returning shortly, the marquis probably wants to let you of here. He just doesn't have an excuse to use. If you're willing to give her some of your treasured cold cream, my master will give him an excuse and let Master Sang live more comfortably."

Ji Man raised an eyebrow, that sickly beauty was a sensible person. She knew that she had to give her something in exchange. And, what Ji Man wanted was just to leave this confinement courtyard sooner. It didn't feel good to be constantly spied on every day. Also, they saw rats again last night.

However, she couldn't be too obvious about her goal. Ji Man hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I can give you the cream, but I have a request. If you can't do it, then this will be the last container."

Danzhu glanced at her, "Master Sang, please say it."

"The two of you know the origin of this cold cream, but in front of outsiders, please tell them that I had asked someone to buy it for me. Can you do this?" Ji Man said.

Muxu didn't understand the reasoning behind this. Wouldn't it be good if they let people know that she had made the cold cream? Wouldn't that make everyone come over here to beg them to make it for them?

However, Danzhu understood. Nie Sangyu currently had a lowly status and a person with talent would arouse the envy of others. If other people found out that she could make this cream, the other women would fight over it. When that happened, she would offend people if she didn't give them the cream. If she gave everyone the cream, they would still feel offended. Master Sang was actually quite clever.

"This servant will do as you bid and pass along your message to my master." Danzhu bobbed a curtsy.

Ji Man smiled and placed a container into her hand. "Your master can you use this without worries. This cream is a treasure and won't harm her body."

Danzhu repeatedly thanked her. After accepting the item, she swiftly returned to Xuesong Courtyard.

Qian Lianxue had experienced a taste of beauty. How could she be willing to easily return to before? Naturally, she would be willing to exchange anything for it. During the past few days, Marquis Moyu would always praise her beautiful face every time he came to her courtyard. It didn't look as if she was wearing any makeup, but her face looked very good. He even stayed the night in her courtyard today.
