Shrewd wife of Lin brothers,Chapter 245 - Opening - Read free novels online

Soon days turned into months and the first snow of the Dong Tong town covered the entire village in a soft and silvery blanket of sugary white powder. Su Wan who had been busy for the past few weeks, happily lighted up the firecrackers in front of her make up shop. Her cream perfumes and soaps were finally ready to be sold, after many ' human testing ' and ' arousing kisses '.

The sound of firecrackers instantly attracted a group of people who curiously peered at the small stall that Su Wan has built in front of her shop. This was where they would let their customers do a free trial of their products before they bought the soaps and cream perfumes, though the flood in the south was still a troublesome situation. The emperor have already issued the grains and monetary benefits for the refugees, which in turn decreased the stress on the financial crisis of the country.

" Come one! Come all! Come here and try our latest products ! " since Lin Chen was the one responsible for Su Wan's make shop that they have renamed as Jīngdiǎn zhīměi, he has dressed himself up for the occasion, today he has borrowed a three-piece hanfu from Lin Yu's shop. The light violet colour robe together with the navy blue tied up, perfectly suited Lin Yu's aura, it made him look more graceful and refined, with his handsome features and charming smile - he resembled a well-dressed scumbag who was trying to lure pretty ladies in his trap, at least this was Su Wan's conclusion as she watched her third husband converse with the missies of the town.

" Hey, beautiful miss - I can see that you are wearing an astonishing perfume, with your excellent persona and graceful aura, I wouldn't accept anything less from such a beautiful lady like you " Lin Chen was apt in the art of flattering the rich, after all, he had once worked in a high profile restaurant and have seen the way of the world. So, flattering a bunch of young maidens who rarely went out of their house was not a big deal.

As expected, the young lady who had originally come with her personal maidservant to see which shop was causing all the fuss blushed a little upon hearing Lin Chen's blatant flattery. No one could hate praises, the young lady was the same - when she heard Lin Chen praise for her wonderful insight in scents and perfume, the young lady was really flattered.

Actually, Lin Chen was quite scheming. He was a perspective person and with his accurate senses, he could easily catch the faint scent of the aromatic oil that the young lady had applied to her body. Thus, Lin Chen first praised the young lady for her incredible talent in choosing the most suitable scent that suited her age, with so many aromatic oils being sold in the market, the young misses would simply buy whatever scent that caught their attention, they would completely forgot about the fact that they needed to choose scents that were suitable for their age.

For example a young lady from the house of the county magistrate just now actually bought an aromatic scent that had a subtle touch of seduction from the shop next to theirs, such a scent was not suitable for her age at all. After all, she was an unmarried young lady, why would she need to buy a scent that the concubines bought?

However, the young lady who was stopped by Lin Chen was different. She actually chose a scent that had a perfect blend of honey and peaches, such a scent was delicate and sweet. And since the young lady had a bright and sunny aura, with her slightly chubby face and innocent eyes, this scent completely suited her - she smelled just like the air of spring and sunny days.

Both Lin Chen and the young lady knew that she wasn't a beauty, at most, she was an average looking girl with slightly more delicate features than the girls in the village - if not for her graceful and noble aura, she would be similar to a face that would be lost in the sea of average faces.

Thus, Lin Chen didn't praise her for her beauty instead he praised her for her talents and wits, which pleased the young lady.

"Thank you, for your generous praise, Sir " the young lady named Yu Meng smiled politely, she understood that Lin Chen was just casually praising her and his words were nothing but empty praises, after all, she had already seen Su Wan who was dressed in a dreamy fox mink cloak and with her heroic and carefully arched eyebrows and stunning features, she would have merely served as a background if not her noble bearing. Yu Meng knew that Lin Chen must have stopped her because he wanted her to try the products that were lined on the stall in front of him. Generally, she would have ignored it but these products were unique and hardly seen even in the capital, thus, Yu Meng stopped wanting to see the novelty of these products out of curiosity.

"May I know, why this gentleman stopped my lady ?" The maidservant was tactful and intelligent, she knew that her lady couldn't converse with an unknown man even if the latter was married. So, she hurriedly took the matter in hand and went straight to point, if they stayed here for long without any reason who knows what kind of rumours might spread around the town?

"It's nothing, I noticed that your lady is really apt in the art of deducing and selecting scents and perfumes.. I thought that she might be interested in our new products as they are unique and rare but still match up to the aromatic scents that are sold in the market, would you like to try them? "Lin Chen too understood what the maidservant was trying to say this, he didn't talk around in circles instead he went straight to the point as well. He wasn't willing to flatter these young ladies either alright, so there was no need for this maidservant to look at him like he was a casual flirt !
