Chapter 345 - 204: Supporting The Scene_3
Most of the people who came were brought by Song Huaijin and Liang Jinzhao. Song Huaijin had already arrived, and since Liang Jinzhao went to pick up Prince Consort Pan, he asked Second Young Master Liang Jintong to come in his stead.
These young gentlemen really came here because they couldn’t refuse the face given by Liang Jinzhao and Song Huaijin. Today, those who were supposed to go to school went to school, and those who were supposed to be on duty were on duty. To support the opening and boost the crowd, they had even asked for a day off.
Many more had promised to come after they finished their official duties in the evening or after their classes were done.
The young gentlemen in their fine clothes were initially rather reluctant, feeling that as sons of noble families, taking leave to support a small shop was beneath them.
But when they heard Mr. Pan would come, they immediately got excited. And upon hearing that an "Extraordinary Masterpiece" would also be displayed, they were even more expectant.
After patiently listening to the two employees finish their drivel, they walked into the shop. As soon as they did, their eyes couldn’t take it all in. Was this, this, this how a fragrance powder shop should be arranged?
They made a round by the counter first, looked at the paintings on the wall, and then examined the cosmetics in the counters, starting to pull out their wallets. When asked about the prices, they found the products not cheap at all, even more expensive than the rouge and powders from Ai Shulin.
The cheapest box of fragrance grease was two taels of silver, the "Whitening Series" eight taels of silver, the "Water Soft Series" eighteen taels of silver, both the "Lotus FragrantSeries" and "Pearl Rhyme Series" were eighty-eight taels of silver, and so on.
For those who wanted custom orders, meaning specifying special packaging boxes such as jade carving, gold carving, silver carving, the price was even higher. This was tailor-made for families who were marrying off their daughters, with prices negotiable.
However, these were all sons of wealthy families, and they had money. As long as the goods were of good quality, they didn’t care about spending more. After listening to the introductions and looking at the samples, they tried them and found them indeed not bad. They bought some for themselves, and then for the women of their families too.
Since they were waiting for Prince Consort Pan and also to see that "Extraordinary Masterpiece," they weren’t in a hurry and took their time looking and buying.
Then, some more people arrived, mostly ladies, who had heard that the shop which provided cosmetics to the ladies of Liang Mansion was opening today and had come specially to buy cosmetics.
