She picked up the finger-sized bottle and opened the cap. An even stronger fragrance wafted out. this is called essential oil. Drip two drops into hot water to bathe. It’s said to be good for the skin and will leave a fragrant smell. It’s much better than flower petals!
Madam Wang took it with a face full of surprise. She smelled it carefully and said, “It’s really fragrant! But why did you only buy this much? You should buy more, or else how are your sisters-in-law going to split it?”
“Mother, do you know I bought these things?” Wang Shuang asked mysteriously.
They all looked puzzled. “Where did you buy them?”
Wang Shuang revealed the secret. “At Princess Dingan’s shop!”
“What!” Madam Wang and the other young mistresses were all shocked. They asked incredulously, “Is it really at Princess Ding’a’s place? Did you get cheated?”
Wang Shuang nodded and said, “It’s true! Mother, why don’t you believe me? I even talked to her personally when I saw her! She has a store called Liuxiang
Pavillion on the street that specializes in selling soap and these essential oils. It just opened today, but there’s a limit to the number of essential oils and soaps in her shop. Everyone can only buy two pieces. If you think they’re good, you can go and buy more.”
Madam Wang still found it unbelievable. The main thing was that Princess Ding’an had been in the Capital for so long and there were very few people who had seen her. She did not think that her daughter would meet the princess and even talk to her when she went shopping.
Young Madam Wang laughed. “Then our Shuangshuang and Princess Ding’an are really fated, Shuangshuang can invite her to the residence to play.”
“We’ll talk about it after the banquet is over,” Wang Shuang nodded.
“It’s not bad that you’re on good terms with the Princess, but your father might not like her,” said Madam Wang after some thought.
Wang Shuang said nonchalantly, “Aiya, why is Father so stingy? Isn’t it just a bicycle? I think his bicycle is much better looking than mine! How awe-inspiring would it be to ride it out! And he said he didn’t like it, but I saw him riding it more happily than anyone else, and he didn’t even let me touch it!”
Madam Wang smiled. “Don’t say this in front of your father. He just doesn’t mean what he says.”
Wang Shuang giggled. “I know, I know. Mother, I’ll give you this essential oil. It’ll turn you into a fragrant woman!”
Madam Wang waved her hand. “Why would you give it to me? I’m already so old, what do I need to smell so good for? You can use it for yourself, you should dress up more at such a young age.”
Wang Shuang was unconcerned. She did not like to make her body smell nice. She had only bought this essential oil to give it to her mother and sisters-in-law.
“I don’t need it. I just want some soap to wash my hands. If you don’t need it, I’ll give it to my sisters-in-law, but there are only two bottles. Do any of you want it?”
The Fourth Young Mistress of the Wang Family quickly waved her hand. “I don’t need it. You can give it to the other sisters-in-law.”
The Fourth Young Mistress of the Wang family had just entered the house not long ago, so she was embarrassed to claim things.
“I don’t need it either,” Third Madam Wang said. “You can give it to Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law.”
The Eldest Young Master’s wife and the Second Young Master’s wife also declined. “We’re already so old, what else do we need? I’ll give it to my sister-in-law.”
Wang Shuang looked at Madam Wang with a troubled expression, not knowing what to do.
Madam Wang sighed. “What’s there to reject? Juan, take two more bottles and split the essential oil in half. One for each person.”
“Mother, you’re so smart!” Wang Shuang said with a sneer..
