Chapter 1179: Chapter 1185: Nangong Yi’s Three Obediences and Four Virtues (5)

Cai Wei just managed to suppress a couple of laughs, and although it was a bit embarrassing, her heart still felt sweet.

After having her breakfast and taking a bath, Cai Wei felt she had almost recovered her strength. So she left the palace with Huan Qiu and headed to the mansion Nangong Yi had given her to use as a warehouse, where she stored all the glass from Space. She then dispatched Huan Qiu to inform the glass shop’s shopkeeper, telling him that if the glass sold out, he could come here to pick up more!

The thousands of pieces of glass that the Sun Family Brothers brought back last time were not enough to sell; they sold out in just four days. The shopkeeper was feeling gloomy, but luckily for him, Cai Wei had sent Huan Qiu with a message, and upon hearing it, the shopkeeper wasted no time in taking people to fetch the glass!

Cai Wei wasn’t idle either; after sending off the glass shop’s shopkeeper, she went into Space to harvest Green Manzi.

Previously, she had made an agreement with Manager Wen from Mi Fangzhai to invest a hundred Jin of Green Manzi flowers each month into the business. Though it only accounted for one share, she thought that any business that could earn silver was not to be despised, no matter how small. Besides, once she had slowly figured out the ins and outs of the rouge powder industry, she would withdraw her shares and start her own venture!

When Manager Wen from Mi Fangzhai saw Cai Wei fulfill her promise by bringing a cartload of fresh Green Manzi flowers, he was overjoyed, showing teeth but not eyes, as he hurriedly ordered his staff to weigh them. After weighing was completed, he brought out a prepared contract and signed an agreement with Cai Wei to transfer one share.

Manager Wen said, "Miss, you mentioned the other day that you would gift a few Rare Flowers to Wen. I wonder if you have brought the Rare Flowers?"

Cai Wei replied, "Of course."

Saying so, she took a two-inch tall sapling out of the basket she had brought. The sapling had tender green leaves that were as beautiful as Jade, but it was unclear what kind of flower it was.

Manager Wen saw the unimpressive little sapling Cai Wei had brought and couldn’t help but frown slightly, forcing a smile he said, "Miss, I’m ignorant and don’t recognize the variety of flower you’ve brought. Could you enlighten me?"

Cai Wei asked, "Have you ever heard of Blue Snow Lotus?"

Manager Wen exclaimed in shock, "Heard of it, heard of it! The Empress Dowager of our dynasty adores it. It’s said to grow in the bitterly cold lands of the far north. The Empress Dowager spent a lot of effort to obtain one plant years ago. Could it be that this sapling is the Blue Snow Lotus?"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "Exactly!"

Upon hearing that it was the Blue Snow Lotus, Manager Wen’s eyes widened like brass bells. He looked reverently at the small sapling, saying, "Miss, you aren’t joking with me, are you? This is the Blue Snow Lotus? Oh, I don’t even know how to care for it. Could you please explain it to me in detail so I don’t ruin such a divine creation?"

Just as Cai Wei was about to explain, she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, mixed with the sounds of women’s quarrels and scolding—it seemed a fight had broken out.

Manager Wen stood up and apologetically said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I need to check what’s going on. I’ll be right back!"

Cai Wei said, "Let’s go together. Now that I’m a shareholder of Mi Fangzhai, I should step forward if there’s an issue with the business!"

"Hehe, you’re right, Miss. Please," Manager Wen said, without refusal, politely gesturing for Cai Wei to lead the way, and she, unceremoniously, went down the stairs first.

By now, the commotion downstairs had turned into a full-blown quarrel.

A glamourous young lady dressed in an aquamarine skirt was angrily pointing at a female cashier, loudly arguing.

"All these items I had reserved, and the deposit was paid in full. How could you sell them to her? I’ve been a loyal customer of Mi Fangzhai for many years. Is this how you treat me?"

The female cashier, with a pained expression on her face, said in a quiet voice, "Please calm down, Aunt Bi. This Madam was brought in by Master Wang from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, and the shop had to give some courtesy. You ordered so much rouge powder this time, which you won’t use up right away, so please allow us to share a bit for now. When you’ve used up your rouge, our stock will definitely be replenished. Then, we at Mi Fangzhai will personally deliver the goods to your Mansion..."

Meanwhile, Cai Wei stood in shock at the stairway entrance, watching the young woman caught between Aunt Bi and the female cashier!

The woman was quite young, delicate like a wind, and had a gentle and lovely appearance. She was dressed in an elegant light purple Beizi with a set of Amethyst Jade Head jewelry on her head—the head decorations were the shop’s treasure sold from Zhenbao Pavilion!
