She had tried many times to make this perfume. It was harder to make perfumes than essential oils and wasted a lot of materials. As soon as she made it, she could not wait to try it out to see if anyone would buy it, so that she could earn back her investment.
Liu Jiaojiao took the handkerchief and flicked it gently. She closed her eyes and felt the smell in the air. After a while, she opened her eyes and said in surprise, “What a special smell! The fragrance of the lotus flower has a hint of coolness to it, refreshing one’s mind and making one feel that the elegant lotus flower is right in front of them!”
Jian Qingqing applauded in admiration. “You said it so well! I just thought it tasted pretty good, so I didn’t think too much about it.”
Liu Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed. She chuckled and said, “I’m just casually saying.”
Wang Shuang also took the handkerchief and sniffed it. “Jiaojiao, you’re amazing. I just think that you smell good. I can’t even say a word of praise.” Liu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded her head, “I told you to read more, but you didn’t.”
Wang Shuang hugged Liu Jiaojiao’s arm like a spoiled child. She looked at Liu Jiaojiao holding the handkerchief in her hand and asked, “Princess, are you selling this perfume?
Liu Jiaojiao covered her mouth in a hurry and said to Jian Qingqing in embarrassment, “Princess, I’m really sorry. Shuangshuang was a little too outspoken. Jiaojiao knows that you worked hard to make this perfume, so she shouldn’t do anything to steal someone else’s favorite things.”
Jian Qingqing shook her head and smiled. “It’s fine. I made this perfume to sell. If Miss Wang wants it, I can give you a discount.”
“Really?!” Wang Shuang was pleasantly surprised. “Then sell it to me! How much is it?”
Jian Qingqing thought for a moment. This bottle of perfume was much bigger than the essential oil. She originally wanted to sell it for 800 taels, but she felt that Wang Shuang and Liu Jiaojiao were quite suitable for her, so she thought of it as making friends, so she said, “500 taels will do.”
As the oldest daughter in the family, Wang Shuang had been doted on since she was young, so her pocket money had never stopped. Every month, her grandfather, father, mother, and brothers and sisters-in-law would give her a sum of money to spend, so she had quite a rich sum of pocket money. Thus, she said without hesitation, “Alright, then I’ll take it!”
Jian Qingqing asked the attendant to wrap the perfume in a box and handed it to her personally. “If you think it’s good, you can come back next time to take a look. Liuxiang Pavilion will release new products from time to time.”
Wang Shuang received it and said casually, “Definitely! I’ll call my mother and sisters-in-law over after I go back!”
Liu Jiaojiao also smiled and said, “Then I wish Princess Ding’an a prosperous business.”
After saying goodbye to Jian Qingqing, the two left Liuxiang Pavilion happily.
Wang Shuang handed the gift box containing the perfume to Liu Jiaojiao and said, “Here, it’s for you.”
Liu Jiaojiao was stunned and said in disbelief, “For me?
Wang Shuang nodded. “That’s right. I can see that you like this perfume a lot. Aren’t you getting married soon? By then, we definitely won’t have that much time to meet and play together. Take this as my wedding gift to you.”
As Wang Shuang said that, she had a funny smile on her face. “Remember to put on some perfume on your wedding night. Mr. Wu will definitely be in love with you!’
Liu Jiaojiao patted her shyly and said with a red face. “What strange novel did you read this time? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
However, she still looked touched. “Thank you, Shuangshuang. I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have stopped you from speaking..”
