The next day.
Mingyue had breakfast with Lu's father.
I saw Father Lu and a few managers were about to go out.
Mingyue thought for a moment and called him over: "Dad, it's boring for me to stay at home, why don't you take me with you?"
It’s true, for Mr. Lu, it was really a new thing that his daughter took the initiative to ask to go out with him.
You have to know that his daughter was previously raised by a wet nurse, and was not actually close to him as her father. This was also the biggest reason why he was angry and drove the wet nurse and her family out of the house.
He hired a wet nurse named Zhang to take care of his daughter, not to be her biological mother or the master of the Lu Mansion. Of course, he would not tolerate Zhang teaching his daughter to not know the distance between relatives and strangers.
Thinking that his daughter would get sick from being idle at home, Father Lu waved to Mingyue and said, "Today I have to take the managers to the shop downstairs to have a look. You can come along and play. If you see something you like, just tell the guys."
Mingyue did not refuse and nodded generously.
She had not forgotten how her father Lu died in her previous life, so of course she had to find a chance to visit the shop and put her worries to rest.
As they were talking, the group walked towards the door, and then they ran into Zhang Cuixiu who was walking towards the Lu Mansion.
Over the years, Zhang Cuixiu really treated the Lu Mansion as her own home. She could enter and leave as she pleased.
Unfortunately, the servants in the Lu mansion were used to her closeness to their young lady, so they let her come and go.
Seeing Mingyue was about to go out, Zhang Cuixiu immediately came over and said, "Ayue, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu's face darkened slightly.
Is Zhang Cuixiu a little confused about her own identity? Can she call her Ah Yue
And this familiar questioning tone is so rude.
However, given Zhang Cuixiu's status, there was no need for Lu's father to lower himself to argue with her, so he became even more determined to let the Zhang family know the rules.
Mingyue glanced at Zhang Cuixiu with a half-smile. Why did Liu Shumin rush here so early in the morning? Could it be that he had prepared the money
"Just go with my dad to visit the family shop and pick up some things you like." Mingyue frowned and said, "Why are you here so early? Is there no food at home again?"
The sound of the bright moon is not loud, but it is not small either.
Not to mention Father Lu, even several managers around couldn't help but look at Zhang Cuixiu.
Is this someone coming to beg for money so early in the morning
Zhang Cuixiu's face suddenly changed. She never expected that she would say such words in public.
"Ayue, what nonsense are you talking about? I came to you for something else." Zhang Cuixiu subconsciously looked at Lu's father, then blinked at Mingyue.
Mingyue, who is now playing the role of a simple-minded and honest person, said naturally: "Is there something in your eyes? Why do you keep blinking?"
The stewards and maids nearby almost laughed out loud.
Even Father Lu was happy, with a smile in his eyes.
Zhang Cuixiu was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
Zhang Cuixiu has really been spoiled by Mingyue over the years. Her life is almost the same as that of an ordinary lady. How could she have suffered such humiliation
She no longer cared about Liu Shumin's affairs and said that she suddenly remembered something and ran away.
Mingyue didn't care. If she didn't achieve her goal, Zhang Cuixiu would always come back. ~
The Lu family is considered to be one of the richest businessmen in Lin'an County. Not to mention the fertile land under their names, they own more than 20 shops, covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is impossible to check all the shops in one day, especially since he is bringing his daughter with him today, so Father Lu has already made up his mind to check out the shops selling jewelry and clothes today, just as if he is taking his daughter out for shopping.
After arriving at the shop, Father Lu, the manager and the shopkeeper went to the backyard to look at the account books. Mingyue really thought she was here for shopping, and the maid behind her was holding a few small things she liked.
The Lu family's shop was run in a very conventional manner, and the items sold were no different from those in other shops, with average profits as well. This made Mingyue come up with many ideas one after another.
However, Mingyue also knew that based on Lu Mingyue's personality, she would not take the initiative to take care of these things unless something huge happened, so she didn't intend to say anything at the moment.
The group strolled around and soon arrived at Mingyue's destination.
In the previous life, Father Lu's incident happened in this 'Yueran Rouge Shop'!
Later, according to people from the county government, the worker in the rouge shop secretly raised the price of rouge, so Lu's father fired him after finding out. The worker had elderly and children in his family and he was the only one who supported them. He begged Lu's father for a long time but was not able to come back to work. He was secretly resentful and couldn't understand the situation, so he stabbed Lu's father a few days later.
This seems to make sense, but it doesn't stand up to careful consideration.
How could that fellow calmly wait for his death when he had a family to support? You know, killing someone means paying with your life.
Unless... that guy had already received the benefits and was sure that his family would live well after his death.
"Yue'er, what are you thinking about standing at the door?" Father Lu was about to go to the backyard, but after thinking for a while, he said, "By the way, our rouge is pretty good. You can take a few more boxes back. A little girl should dress up brightly to look good."
"I understand, Dad. Just go and do your own thing!" Mingyue walked slowly into the Rouge Shop with a smile on her face.
The guys at the Rouge Shop knew that this was the boss' daughter, and they were so enthusiastic that they all came over immediately.
This rouge shop is actually not very big, with only three employees in total.
As for the person who stabbed Lu's father in the previous life, it happened that Lu Mingyue later made a special trip to witness his beheading. Although she vomited for several days out of fear afterwards, it now made things convenient for Mingyue.
Seeing the three guys circling around her, Mingyue casually pointed at one of the men who had a black mole as big as a fingernail on his left cheek, and said impatiently: "It's too annoying to have the three of you following me, just follow me!"
The other two waiters were stunned and had no choice but to go and wait at the door for other customers.
The clerk with the mole was delighted: "Miss, you really have good taste. I am the clerk who is most familiar with rouge in our shop."
"Okay, pick a few boxes for me. If you choose well, I will reward you handsomely."
The clerk Black Mole was even happier when he heard this, and he immediately worked very hard: "This Chrysanthemum Beauty is the best-selling item in our shop, and this Flower Moon is also sold by many ladies in the county, and also..."
Mingyue nodded and pointed casually at one of the boxes of rouge: "How much is this box?"
Hei Zhi was familiar with the process, and he said without hesitation: "Two taels of silver. This box of Sunset Afterglow is the best-selling rouge in our shop. There are not many stocks left now. Miss, you'd better hurry up if you want it."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Heizhi's face changed suddenly.
No, that's not right. What the shop sells is not two taels.
He introduced the wrong person. This is the boss's daughter.
The truth is out!
