Chapter 242 Study Tour
After the New Year, Lingyao Pavilion chose an auspicious day to open its doors to welcome customers.
Hearing that Lingyao Pavilion would open today and that the latest shampoo and cream would be launched, old customers all came to join in the fun.
For a while, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was crowded with people.
The waiters have long been accustomed to it and guide the customers to queue up for checkout in an orderly manner. Those who want to take advantage of the situation or try to escape paying the bill cannot escape the waiters' sharp eyes.
Shang Wan stood behind the counter keeping accounts, and took the opportunity to greet old customers to promote the newly issued membership cards.
There are two types of membership cards: gold card and silver card.
They look roughly the same, all of them are small pieces of hollowed-out carved wood less than the size of a palm. They have been specially treated with chemicals and are extremely tough and not easily damaged.
The difference is that the silver card is bordered with silver thread and the card surface is engraved with peony, while the gold card is bordered with gold thread and the card surface is engraved with peony.
Any customer whose cumulative consumption in Lingyao Pavilion exceeds fifty taels can spend ten copper coins to apply for a silver card. The card will have his name engraved on it on the spot by a craftsman hired by Shang Wan. The card can only be used by the customer, and the customer can enjoy a 10% discount on any product purchased from Lingyao Pavilion.
Customers who spend more than 200 taels of silver in Lingyao Pavilion can apply for a gold card for free. It is also a real-name system and can only be used by the customer himself. It can enjoy a 20% discount on all Lingyao Pavilion products.
If you lend your membership card to someone else, your membership card will be confiscated upon discovery.
After listening to Shang Wan’s introduction, almost every customer who met the consumption requirements got a membership card.
A silver card costs only ten cents, and a gold card is free. You can buy medicine cheaper with the card, so it always seems more cost-effective to get a card.
Shopkeeper Shang is giving them money!
Because everyone was so enthusiastic about applying for the cards, the engraving master was simply too busy to handle it.
Shang Wan picked up the carving knife and joined the carving team.
She is so fast that she can carve three pieces in the time it takes for the master to carve one.
If someone comes to the counter to pay, she can also keep the bill at the same time.
She is capable, beautiful and can make money. I don’t know how many people envy Lu Chengjing for marrying such a good wife.
Someone heard from somewhere that Shang Wan agreed to marry Lu Chengjing because of his handsome face, so she tried to seduce Shang Wan with her beauty, hoping to make her cheat on her.
Shang Wan directly refused.
If you want to hook up with her, you have to at least look like your own fox, right?
There was more than one person who did this. After Lu Chengjing found out, he was instantly overwhelmed with a sense of crisis. He transformed himself into a male vixen and used his physical actions to seduce Shang Wan so that he didn't have the time to think about other people.
Shopkeeper Shang said that it would be nice if the nightlife was a little richer.
As winter goes, spring comes and summer arrives, the clothes worn by pedestrians on the road become lighter and lighter.
In July, the sun was high in the sky at noon and it was so hot that people didn't want to go out at all.
After lunch, everyone in the village rested in their own rooms.
"Sister, my brother-in-law sent me a letter saying that they and their group have arrived at Fengxiang Prefecture and will be able to return home in about five or six days." Shitou ran excitedly into the side hall with the letter to announce the good news.
Shang Wan put down the small porcelain bottle, reached out to take the letter, and read it line by line.
Three months ago, Lu Chengjing, Qiao Yu'an and three other classmates went on a study tour together, heading south, meeting the people and gaining new knowledge.
Every six or seven days, Lu Chengjing would send back a letter, not only to report his safety, but also to share his interesting experiences outside, with pictures.
Whenever a letter was delivered, the family’s evening entertainment activity would include reading the letters together.
This time the letter contained very little content, but between the lines one could tell that he was eager to go home.
After Shang Wan finished reading the letter, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to write the letter. Shang Wan simply handed it to her and said, "There's no drawing this time."
"OK."
Yuanyuan doesn't mind the letter from her father even if it's all words.
The little fellow held the letter in his hands, lowered his head and read it word by word, and he didn't make any mistakes.
If this gets out, he will definitely be labeled a genius.
But Shang Wan still wanted to keep a low profile, and he also made an agreement with Dean Luo of Sanshan Academy that this matter would not be spread to others.
Dean Luo was a plump old man with a constant smile. After learning from Shitou that Lu Chengjing had enlightened Yuanyuan, he asked Yuanyuan a few questions in a playful manner when he went to the Lu family for dinner.
Yuanyuan not only answered all the questions, but also had her own ideas, which was different from other children Dean Luo had met.
He became interested and continued to test Yuanyuan's Chinese characters. Yuanyuan knew all the Chinese characters that Lu Chengjing had taught her.
Although he can't write many complex words yet, Yuanyuan is only two years old, which is already very good compared to ordinary children.
Dean Luo immediately thought about accepting a disciple.
He planned to take Yuanyuan as his last disciple.
Regardless of what Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing thought, Yuanyuan refused it herself.
The little baby said that her master must be super super super powerful, who must be both talented in literature and martial arts and also good-looking.
Obviously, Dean Luo does not meet Yuanyuan's standards for becoming a disciple.
Dean Luo was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he felt that Yuanyuan was smart and independent-minded. He told Lu Chengjing to train the child well and not to neglect her just because she was a girl.
Lu Chengjing was going to study abroad, so Yuanyuan was lacking a teacher. Dean Luo offered to take charge of Yuanyuan's studies during the few months when Lu Chengjing was away.
With Shang Wan watching, Lu Chengjing agreed.
Dean Luo is indeed a good teacher. He gets along well with Yuanyuan and does not restrict the little one from playing around, but she ensures that she learns everything she needs to.
Yuanyuan has a quick mind and can memorize things quickly, which makes Dean Luo, the teacher, feel very accomplished.
"Put the letter in the box in the study, dear boy."
"Okay." Yuanyuan agreed, and her little hands folded the letter paper into a small square, holding it in her hands as she walked out.
Shitou sat down next to Shang Wan, picked up the small porcelain bottle and smelled it. The pungent smell went straight to his head.
He quickly turned his head away, pinched his nose and asked, "Sister, what's in this bottle?"
"Poison." Shang Wan said concisely, reached out to take the porcelain bottle back, and added, "One drop will seal your throat."
Stone:"……"
What is his sister doing with poison?
He looked around to make sure no one was around before approaching and asked cautiously, "Sister, who do you want to deal with? Don't do it yourself, I'll do it."
Shang Wan looked at him. Was she so cruel in this boy's eyes? She poisoned him just because they didn't agree with her?
Shitou actually understood Shang Wan's look, touched his nose and muttered softly: "Even if you don't poison me, you will just beat me up."
Those who fell into his sister's hands died cleanly, but as for those who survived, well, it was really miserable.
"Duanmu made this bottle by chance. He had no use for it, but felt it was a pity to throw it away, so he gave it to me." Shang Wan picked up the cork and plugged the bottle, then put it back into the space.
What on earth could one be researching that could have resulted in such a deadly poison?
Shitou was extremely curious and planned to ask Doctor Duanmu about it later.
"By the way, sister, Xiaohuan is..."
Suddenly, Manager Dai and Madam Shu hurried in and interrupted Shi Tou's words.
Seeing that Madam Shu looked unhappy, Shang Wan stopped smiling and asked, "What happened?"
"The caravan is missing." Madam Shu said this in a deep voice before she could even sit down, and her expression became even uglier.
