Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 168 Fakes Are Fakes After All

"I don't know if any of you here have used the 'Splendid Fate' grease, but you should have heard about the effects of the 'Splendid Fate' grease." The big maid looked at the people around her.

Many people in the crowd responded, "It is said that it only takes three to five days for the effect to be obvious."

"That's right, people with rough skin will become delicate, and those with dark skin will become white, it's amazing!"

"My cousin and niece from afar bought a bottle for use, and it took only a month for her to change drastically. She used to have a hard time finding her in-laws, but the other day she found a family with a good family background. She has already placed a small order because she looks better. A lot."

"Also, also, I heard that the ointment of 'Splendid Edge' is not only effective when it is used, it will still maintain a certain effect after washing the face. Even if it is not used for a while, it will be better than the original Sometimes the skin is much more supple.”

Everyone talked about or heard about it, or the evaluations of relatives and friends at home, the big maid nodded and said: "Indeed, the ointment of 'Jinxiuyuan' is really good, and the effect you said is very good. It's true, not fake at all, but the ointment from this rouge shop is not like that at all."

"What's going on? Is it true or not? Girl, tell me quickly."

"That's right. Could it be that the master of the house had some bad reaction after using it?" It's not unheard of before in Beijing. Some people used rouge and gouache to grow things on their faces. Most of those people were sensitive. The skin cannot use some cosmetics with special ingredients, but people in this era don't understand these things. There were a lot of troubles at the beginning, and the shop selling rouge compensated the customers a lot of money.

The big maid's complexion changed slightly, and she quickly said: "My wife is naturally fine, the ointment from the rouge shop is not effective, but so far I haven't found any damage to the user, but if it is worth the price they are selling now, it is still advertised and The effect of 'Splendid Edge' is the same, even the taste and the bottle of the ointment are exactly the same, so it is a deliberate deception."

The big servant girl stared at the anxious and angry shopkeeper with a displeased face, and hummed: "My wife bought first-class ointment at the rouge shop. Anyone who has used it knows that the effect of first-class ointment can be seen within three days. And the comparison is very obvious. It has been half a month since I bought it, but I can hardly see much change. It is far worse than when I first used the "Splendid Edge" grease! Comparing the two, it is not even as good as the third class of "Splendid Edge" grease!"

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

Someone blurted out: "The grease in Rouge Shop is half the price of 'Jinxiuyuan', the first-class one costs 50 taels of silver, and the third-class ointment of 'Jinxiuyuan' costs 20 taels, isn't it a big loss?"

Luo Jinxiu stood aside and smiled silently.

When the rouge shop first opened and announced the price of the balm, many people said, "It's so cheap, so cheap". How is it now?

"Not only that, the ointment of Rougepu does not have the effect of changing after washing the face." In other words, it is the same as other rouge powders, only when it is used, it will look good, and it will be the same after washing off.

If the price of the rouge shop is similar to that of ordinary rouge gouache, and they don't deliberately imitate "Splendid Edge", maybe others will not think there is anything, but they are going to hit the muzzle of the gun, isn't it just waiting for someone to come to the door?

The main reason why the official wife served by the big maid came out on purpose was that she chose to use the rouge cream in order to save some money, and the big maid, as a close confidant, has a lot of monthly money and usual rewards , I will also buy the third-class ointment of 'Splendid Edge'.

As a result, after using it for half a month, the complexion and skin color changes of the maids around me are obviously not a little bit different than my own. Can the madam feel comfortable in her heart?
If he didn't take his anger out on his cronies, the servant girl, he was already considered broad-minded.

"Your rouge shop borrowed the money from 'Splendid Fate' to scam customers. You must give my wife an explanation today! Either double the loss of my wife's compensation, or simply send the official to investigate and seal the shop! "The eldest maid's tone was particularly harsh.

Luo Jinxiu reckoned that the wife of the family didn't know that the real owner behind the rouge shop was Concubine Li in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't dare to say that she would be sent to the officials for investigation.

But it must be admitted that the appearance of this person became a just right opportunity. Before the shopkeeper of the rouge shop could speak, there was a sudden commotion outside, and several people who looked like servants of rich families squeezed in. Lai said loudly: "The ointment in your rouge shop is not as good as 'Splendid Edge' at all, you are fooling people!"

"The effect is not very good, but you dare to open your mouth and ask for 50 taels of silver. Do you think we are all fools! Lose money!"

"We don't want this fat cream anymore. Instead, give us the money back!" The one who was still thinking about the money was the ordinary people who came to the Rouge shop just for the sake of cheapness, and his tone sounded extremely righteous and indignant. , furious.

The other onlookers were also affected by these emotional people, and shouted: "I just said that 'Splendid Fate' is so good, it's so easy to imitate, the Rouge Shop is based on the light of 'Splendid Fate' You are lying!"

"Treat us as a bully! If it's not exposed today, wouldn't we be cheated and lose a lot of money in the future?"

"Oh, I bought a box of lip balm at this rouge shop with my man on it two days ago, and I don't know if it will rot my mouth if I wipe it! If you lose money, you have to pay!"

The shopkeeper of the rouge shop was sweating profusely, wiped it casually with his sleeve, and couldn't help blurting out: "Stop arguing! Our rouge is genuine, not fake at all, don't talk nonsense!"

"If you say it's true, it's true? So many people can prove it's a fake, so why are you still arguing?"

"The rouge shop is yours. Of course you dare not say it's a fake. I don't know how many goods have been sold in the past half a month. If you have to double the compensation, you will definitely suffer a lot."

"Of course I know it's not fake, because our family's ointment prescription is clearly from—" In the middle of the sentence, I suddenly realized something, and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly, but remained silent for a long time However, Luo Jinxiu answered with a half-smile: "Why don't you continue talking? Where did you get your ointment prescription? Are you trying to say that you stole it from my workshop?"

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"What? Even the recipe is stolen from someone's 'Splendid Edge'!? How shameless!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

But soon someone muttered in a low voice: "The taste and appearance are exactly the same. I guessed that some dark means must have been used."

Several people next to him nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that 'Splendid Fate' might have been on guard, so the rouge shop didn't succeed. He thought it was done, and he came here to fool people with fake prescriptions, and the price is so expensive! You must be crazy about money!"

"So, if 'Jinxiuyuan' hadn't prepared a fake prescription, these people might not be able to buy the ointment from Yanzhipu..." Before the person finished speaking, he was stopped by the stares of other people next to him up.

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for the people at Yanzhipu who have ulterior motives, 'Jinxiuyuan' prepared a fake prescription and no one would steal it. It has nothing to do with them. The fault is clearly Yanzhipu! Black Heartbroken!"

"Then, does Boss Luo still have to settle the accounts with Rouge Shop for stealing the recipe?"

Luo Jinxiu looked at the speaker, smiled slightly and said, "Since they didn't get the real cream prescription, I don't plan to pursue anything." Since they have already reached conclusions about whether the prescription is true or not, she Don't mind keeping this beautiful misunderstanding alive.

"However." Luo Jinxiu made a turning point, "You don't have to worry about stealing prescriptions, but the Rouge Shop can no longer continue to sell these ointments to deceive people. After all, it still has an impact on our reputation of 'Splendid Edge'. In fact, I I also know that recently, many people in Beijing have said in private that 'Jinxiuyuan' cosmetics are too expensive, and I'm cheating everyone's money, do you still think so?"

Apparently, embarrassment appeared on the faces of those who had discussed this matter recently, their eyes flickered and they dared not look at her, and they faltered and couldn't speak.

Some people apologized in a low voice, and some people pretended to be calm after losing their face, and looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Luo Jinxiu didn't expect them to say anything, and continued on her own: "Now, I can tell everyone very clearly that the grease of 'Splendid Edge' is indeed expensive, but everyone must understand one truth, one point You get what you pay for, and the first-class ointment is expensive, but isn’t there a third-class one who wants to be cheap? The effect may not be as good as first-class, but compared to others..." Glanced at the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop, and said with a tear : "The efficacy must not be compromised."

Just like the person who said that the first-class ointment in Rougepu is not as good as the third-class in 'Splendid Edge', but the price is higher, and the person who lost a lot of money said that the same grade of ointment is the so-called half-price made by Rougepu. Come on, just looking at the effect will not take any advantage at all.

The efficacy of the first-class ointment of 'Jinxiuyuan' is not worth the price of one hundred taels?If you are really that reluctant to spend money, don't think about becoming beautiful, just rely on your own innate conditions.

"Boss Luo is right! A fake product is a fake product after all, no matter how gimmick you try, it won't be true. The key to buying something is value for money. No, the ointment of 'Splendid Edge' should be worth the money. "Otherwise, how could he be sought after by so many female relatives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries?
If the appearance becomes beautiful, it will change the whole life for a short time!

"This time, as an outsider, I don't want to say anything about how the rouge shop negotiated with the customers, but I would like to take this opportunity to say something. I hope everyone will take this as a warning, and don't pretend to be me again in the future." As for Jinxiuyuan's grease, I assure you that there is no one else in the world who can make such a good grease, even if you want to steal the recipe, it is impossible."
