The four of them walked out together, accompanied by young and old maids, filling up two wagons.
Many guests had already arrived by the time they reached the Jia Family.
First Madame had been to many banquets and feasts since she returned to the mansion during the New Year but she had not visited this place. It was also her first since her return.
Madame Jia paid a great deal of attention to her arrival, specially coming to the door to greet them. They were all in a happy mood.
First Madame introduced Qiao Xuan formally to Madame Jia and the others.
“Xuan and I hit it off instantly, and we have become good friends. I invited her to my mansion as a guest. Since you sent the invitation to me, I brought her along with me. She doesn’t know much about the rules in the families in the province, so you should not laugh at her.”
Everyone smiled and said that they would not.
Soon the guests settled down, and it was very lively in the hall.
Young ladies and madams were gathered together and taking a walk in the garden.
The ladies from the Jia Family interacted with Qiao Xuan with a smile, for the sake of First Madame.
First Madame asked Xi to take good care of Qiao Xuan, but threw her a worried look.
In return, Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, indicating to her to remain assured.
She was not being polite. She really did not need any help.
She could see through every corner of the whole mansion by just touching one leaf. Her scope of sight was far beyond the mansion too. Nothing could escape her observation.
If she were still set up after this, then she would just call herself unlucky.
Those ladies and madams were all friends, or acquaintances, or had at least heard about each other. They accidentally or intentionally ignored Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan never had the intention to make herself a part of their lives. She did not care. She just went for a stroll among those people who were strangers.
As she was about to take a seat in the pavilion, Qiao Xuan heard them talking about lipsticks, which drew her attention.
Yuezheng Ting became the center of attention of all the ladies and madams. Everyone seemed very earnest.
“Ting, the lipsticks are part of your family’s stores, and you are always the first one to get the newest product. My nanny can’t even manage to get one until a few days later, and has only managed to buy only two of them till now!”
“Yeah, it is so difficult to buy!’
“I heard that there will be some new colors like peach and apricot… is that true? Can you reserve two for me in each color?”
“I want two as well, or even one is enough!”
“Me too! My cousins in Jianzhou love them, and they keep asking me to buy some!”
“Ting, why not tell Third Brother that he can just sell the products to us, not to others. We can pay the same as others will. In fact, I can buy everything from his store!” “That is a wonderful idea. Me too!”
“Me too!”
Qiao Xuan was dumbfounded, and she could not help but smile.
She felt very proud.
Lipsticks were definitely a profitable venture. When she had enough labor and beeswax, she would make some more.
She would also produce more colors to meet the market’s demand..
