Chapter 266 All Are at Half Price

An Qin shook An Ran’s arm, acting like a spoiled child and said, "Dad, let me go out for fun for a while. Just for a while!"

An Ran clapped her hand, beamed, and said, "Alright then. But do not forget the time and come back before dark."

"I see. Thank you, dad!" An Qin's face was wreathed in smiles after getting her father’s permission.

Then the king talked to her servant girl, "Suotu, take care of her."

"Yes, My Lord." Suotu nodded.

"Then, dad, I'll leave!" An Qin said to the king with a smile.

And then she ran out.

"Oh, my kid." He said, shaking his head with a smile.

Then he turned to Sicha, "You can go now. I feel quite tired after such a long journey and need a rest. If there is something wrong, wait till I wake up."

"Yes, My Lord." Sicha said submissively and went out.

After getting out of the inn, An Qin looked at the fun stuff on the street stalls.

Suotu quickly followed her and said, "Your Highness, be slow!"

But An Qin was deaf to that as she had never seen such fun stuff in Liao City before.

Then one moment she turned to the stall where making sugar figures and touched the monkey with her hands, and the next, she went to the jewelry stall, looking at the hairpins carved from mahogany.

Just then, a group of women gathering in front of her caught her attention.

There was a man in the middle, distributing pieces of paper to the onlookers while saying, "We have many new arrivals in Woman Flower. Just come in and have a look!"

Standing in the back of the crowd, An Qin was listening to what the man was saying, frowning slightly.

Then that man continued to say, "Everyone who comes to our store and buys things from around 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. tomorrow can enjoy a 50% discount!"

"Really? All are at half price?" A woman asked Wufu incredibly.

Wufu nodded and replied with a smile, "That must be true, lady, but only from around 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.. The goods are all original prices before or after that period."

"Great! I have always been longing for a bolt of fabric but do not have spare money, and my husband kept refusing. If there's a 50% off, I'll buy one by all means!"

The woman said, beaming.

Not only this woman, but some young girls also said happily, "I've heard that the 'Sleeping Beauty' mask of Woman Flower is good, but it was a little expensive. If it is now at half price, I'll make up my mind to buy it!"

"That's true! I once bought a moisturizing one. My skin used to be dry. However, after using it a few times, my husband said my skin was much tender than before. I'll buy some more at half price." A woman said in her early thirties, touching her face.

People were all talking at once...

At this moment, Wufu said loudly again, "Everyone, please be quiet! We also have some regulations for this sales promotion."

"What regulations?" Hearing that, several women standing in front of the crowd asked.

Wufu said with a smile, "Hold your horses, everybody! In case someone can not buy it, we have a regulation that only the people with this leaflet can enter our store and each person can only buy no more than 5 items."

Hearing that, everyone agreed with a nod. Many people were just now worrying that they could not buy the things they wanted.

Then Wufu distributed the leaflets to the people gathering in front of him.

In a moment, there were few leaflets left in his hand, but people at the back continued to stretch their hands forward and shouted, "Give me one! Give me one!"

With all the leaflets distributed, people who could not get one were quite upset. Then Wufu said, "You don't need to be so upset. Our Woman Flower will have this kind of activity from time to time. If you didn't get it this time, maybe you'll get it next time!"

Hearing that, people with no leaflets felt relieved. They had been longing for those fabrics for a long time. As long as they could buy it in the future, it would be OK.

Wufu smiled, "Then I will not further waste your time. You can just go."

Hearing that, the crowd dispersed.

An Qin, now standing in the back of the crowd, was almost knocked over by a woman.

Being aware of that, the woman stopped and apologized to An Qin, "I'm sorry, girl."

"Stay there!" Said Suotu. Thanks to her quick reaction, she steadied An Qin.

"It doesn't matter." An Qin pulled Suotu's sleeve and shook her head.

The woman hurried away with the crowd and soon disappeared among them.

After the crowd dispersed, An Qin looked at Woman Flower in front of her and then turned to Suotu, "Let's go and have a look."

An Qin was quite curious about this store as those women said how good the things in it were and how much they wanted them. She wanted to know why such a store could attract so many people.

Therefore, she wanted to have a look in person.

An Qin went into Woman Flower first. When she saw the layout of the store, she thought it was really refreshing.

No wonder it could attract so many people—most of the decorations in the store were gauze of various colors, which were dreamlike.

The goods on the shelves were placed orderly and neatly.

Lu'an first saw someone coming in and greeted her," Hello, how can I help you?"

An Qin glanced up and down at the delicate goods in the room, then walked over to the shelf where the "Sleeping Beauty line" was displayed and looked at the different instructions on each facial mask.

She just now heard that this facial mask worked well, and then she touched her own skin.

It was true that her skin was quite dry recently, plus she did not have a good rest on the way. Tomorrow would be the day she got married to Shuo Ling. She must be beautiful on that special day.

She hoped this "Sleeping Beauty" mask could work.

Thinking of this, An Qin pointed to the "Sleeping Beauty" moisturizing mask and said to Lu'an with a smile, "Wrap five of this up for me!"

Seeing that the servant girl behind An Qin holding a leaflet of Woman Flower, Lu'an said to An Qin, "I'm sorry, Miss. These things will be sold at around 8 a.m. tomorrow. If you like some of them, you can come at that time and buy them."

Hearing this, Suotu went up to Lu'an and said loudly, "What do you mean? We have plenty of money!"

Lu'an frowned and said slowly, "Our store has its own regulations. These goods are prepared for tomorrow. We can not break our regulation for you and lose our reputation!"

"You are playing with fire!" Hearing that, Suotu clenched her fist and was ready to hit Lu'an.

Then An Qin shouted, "Back off, Suotu!"

Seeing Suotu still standing there, An Qin said again, "Back off."

Then Suotu put down her fist and backed behind An Qin.

An Qin walked up to Lu'an and said, "What if I want to buy them today?"

"Uh... Miss." Lu'an frowned.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door, "What's going on?"

"You are here, Your Highness." Lu'an hastened to say to Yang Zijin with a smile.

Yang Zijin walked up to Lu'an, glancing at An Qin next to him and then asked Lu'an, "What happened?"

"Well, we have already sorted out the store. Yesterday, we discussed with Xian and decided to reopen the store tomorrow. All the goods will be at half price a few hours before the opening. However, this young girl wants to buy those goods we prepare for tomorrow's promotion today." Lu'an explained.

At this moment, An Qin looked at Yang Zijin and felt like she had seen her somewhere before. Thinking for a moment, she recalled that it was at the gate of the Palace in the morning. At that time, she was standing beside Shuo Ling. Hearing that this man called her "Your Highness", An Qin thought that she must be the Infanta Qingcheng who was married to Shuo Ling a few days ago.

Thinking of this, An Qin chuckled in heart and thought that Infanta Qingcheng was rather good-looking.

Hearing Lu'an's words, Yan Zijin turned to An Qin and said, "Sorry, Miss. We truly have such regulations. Honesty is crucial to business people. I wish you could understand. If you really like those things, you can dispatch someone to buy them tomorrow."

"Since you, my sister, said so, I would respect your decision." An Qin replied with a smile.

Hearing that, Yang Zijin frowned and said to An Qin, "Miss, 'sister' is not a random appellation."

"Well, it seems that Shuo Ling hasn't told you about this." An Qin said, pretending to be surprised.

Yang Zijin frowned and asked, "You know Marquis Shuo?"

"Sister, I am An Qin, the daughter of the King of Liao City, so of course I know Shuo Ling. After I enter the mansion of Marquis, please take care of me!" An Qin said to Yang Zijin with a smile.

Yang Zijin did not look well. Then Jiang Wei walked forward, drew her sword, and pointed it at An Qin. "Miss, please be careful with your words. My sword does not have eyes if you keep talking that nonsense."

"What do you want to do?" Seeing this, Suotu hastened to block in front of An Qin.

Jiang Wei sneered, "What do I want to do? I want to teach your master a lesson as she has no sense of propriety!"

"I advise you to put down the sword. Her Highness will marry Shuo Ling tomorrow as the Emperor ordered. It is you who have no sense of propriety." Suotu said to Jiang Wei with disdain.

Hearing this, Yang Zijin and Jiang Wei felt incredible and asked together, "What?"
