Chapter 106: War Of Words
Looking up at the morning sky, Hong Qiaole added, “You never know when those you look down on will succeed or when you will need them in the future. Moreover, what is important is not wealth but talent. Without talent, wealth will not last long. But as long as you have talent, you don’t have to worry about not having wealth. Do you understand?”
After listening to Hong Qiaole’s words, Fen Lan lowered her head and said, “Nubi understand. Thank you, Seventh Young Lady, for your teaching.”
Looking at Fen Lan’s guilty expression, Hong Qiaole said calmly, “It’s good as long as you understand.”
When Duan Yixin came back from the kitchen, she noticed Fen Lan’s guilty expression. She raised her eyebrows slightly but pretended not to know and calmly placed the bamboo tray on the wooden table.
After sitting opposite Hong Qiaole, Duan Yixin poured her a cup of tea and said, “I don’t know what the purpose of Miss Hong’s coming here today is.”
Hearing her question, Hong Qiaole smiled and said, “I’m here to offer Miss Duan a business opportunity.”
Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Business opportunity? I don’t think I have anything worthy of the owner of Tian Xiang Pavilion personally visiting me.”
After listening to Duan Yixin’s words, Hong Qiaole smiled and said, “Miss Duan is too humble. How come to the creator of the popular cold ointment was unworthy of my personal visit?”
“So– Miss Hong came here for the cold ointment?” Duan Yixin asked again after a moment of silence.
Before Hong Qiaole had time to answer, they heard the sound of wheels approaching from outside. Duan Yixin looked out curiously, but Hong Qiaole clicked her tongue and muttered in a low voice, “How did he get the news so quickly? Does he have spies around me?”
Just as Hong Qiaole was thinking about it, Duan Yixin had already stood up and went to see who was coming. As soon as the horse carriage stopped behind Hong Qiaole’s horse carriage, Duan Yixin saw Tan Lidan come out in a hurry.
Seeing the always calm and polite Tan Lidan rushing over, Duan Yixin asked in surprise, “Shopkeeper Tan? Why are you here?”
When Tan Lidan heard her questions, he thought to himself, ‘If I don’t come, how can I stop Hong Qiaole from stealing my business?’
Although anxious, Tan Lidan smiled and politely said, “I heard that Miss Hong is here today, so I also decided to visit Miss Duan.”
After hearing his answer, Duan Yixin glanced at Hong Qiaole, who was drinking tea calmly. She then looked at Tan Lidan again and said, “It’s a pleasant surprise that you came to see me, Shopkeeper Tan. Please come in and have a seat.”
He stepped aside and said, “After you, Miss Duan.”
Following Duan Yixin into the front yard, Tan Lidan pretended to be surprised when he saw Hong Qiaole sitting around the wooden table. He appeared surprised and politely said, “Oh, isn’t this Miss Hong? It’s such a pleasant surprise to meet you here.”
After listening to his words, Hong Qiaole rolled her eyes inwardly, but the same look of surprise appeared on her face when she said, “It is indeed an unexpected surprise to meet shopkeeper Tan here. I visited the Chang Shou Pharmacy two days ago, but the servant said you were not there. I didn’t expect that we would meet here today.”
After she finished speaking, Hong Qiaole and Tan Lidan didn’t continue their conversation. They just sat silently around the wooden table, waiting for Duan Yixin to take her seat. Duan Yixin observed the two of them and felt that the relationship between her two guests was not as harmonious as what they showed.
Duan Yixin sat down, poured a cup of tea for Tan Lidan, and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, I wonder why you visited my house today.”
Tan Lidan glanced at Hong Qiaole, who looked at him with a half-smile, then looked at Duan Yixin and said, “Miss Duan, the cold ointment you sold me two days ago was sold out in just a few hours the moment we put them on shelves. I wonder if I can buy more cold ointment from you today.”
Looking at Tan Lidan’s smiling face, Duan Yixin said, “I did make some cold ointment. But because of insufficient materials, I only have four jars now. If Shopkeeper Tan needs more, I’m afraid you will have to wait a few more days.”
Tan Lidan’s eyes lit up when he heard that she had four jars of cold ointment.
However, before he could thank Duan Yixin, Hong Qiaole said, “Miss Duan, I also want to buy your cold ointment. My Qian Mei Pavilion is a cosmetics store. Unfortunately, business is sluggish right now, so I need something that can bring back customers’ attention.”
She glanced at Tan Lidan’s smiling face and added, “Coincidentally, your cold ointment is also popular as a face cream, and many customers asked me to sell them in my store. I wonder if you can sell me those four jars of cold ointment?”
When Tan Lidan heard Hong Qiaole’s words, he frowned slightly and said coldly, “Miss Hong, it’s unethical for you to cut off my business.”
Hong Qiaole chuckled and said, “Shopkeeper Tan, you are wrong. The transaction has not been completed yet, so this business is still open to everyone. And we all agree that whoever has the ability can grab the business before the deal is completed.”
Although what she said was true and was recognized by the masses, no one would blatantly steal other people’s business in public like her. Tan Lidan was dissatisfied with Hong Qiaole’s lack of manners.
He thought for a second, smiled, and said, “Miss Hong is right. However, everything has rules, and people learn etiquette. As the owner of Tian Xiang Pavilion and Qian Mei Pavilion, it wouldn’t be good if the rumors that Miss Hong robbed Chang Shou’s Pharmacy business in public were spread around, right? I don’t know how Master Hong will react to these rumors. At that time, Miss Hong may need to take a trip to return to the imperial capital city.”
