Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1585 - 1584: Why the Blind Pride?_1
Chapter 1585: Chapter 1584: Why the Blind Pride?_1
The minds of these wealthy ladies were just like those people who wanted to eat watermelons, although they were not satisfied with a villager like Qiao Xiaomai playing everyone with the Treasure Basin, the effects of the Floral Dew were undeniably excellent.
Especially now that the price of Floral Dew had dropped by half, under these circumstances, spending some silver to buy the supply for a year was no big deal...
Consider the silver spent on the purchase as charity given to Qiao Xiaomai.
After all, Qiao Xiaomai had to resort to hosting a banquet through Yang Wenxiao to cater to a few heads of the Aristocratic Families. Since Qiao Xiaomai had given in first, it was only normal for them to bestow a little silver.
After some psychological struggle, the group decided to buy the Floral Dew.
Some even had their Maids specially run to Qiao Residence to tell Qiao Xiaomai the types of Floral Dew they wanted to order.
Qiao Xiaomai outright refused such requests; there were only a few types of petals used for Floral Dew. Wanting to place special orders? No way.
After the Wealthy Group had done their shopping, she thought more clearly; if she couldn’t earn their silver, then so be it. It’s not like she didn’t have other ways to make money.
They didn’t come to buy her Floral Dew before, but now they were coming over to order it, wishful thinking.
From now on, she would not sell Floral Dew just to anyone either. After this year, except for the day of June 6th, she would no longer sell Floral Dew. Like it or not.
Once this news was released, those wealthy ladies immediately boiled over. What?
This year Qiao Xiaomai would sell Floral Dew only on June 6th?
And she wouldn’t sell it any other time?
They couldn’t buy it even if they wanted to?
Oh, shit!
This villager has started to act haughty!
She was only a villager who lucked into obtaining the Treasure Basin, and now she’s being stubborn with them.
How infuriating!
This villager is so infuriating!
It’s just Floral Dew, isn’t it? Just Floral Dew, right?!
If worse comes to worst, they... they will also, also also also, just hold their breath and continue to buy it.
No choice, after all, the one with the Divine Weapon is Qiao Xiaomai.
The effects of Floral Dew were visible to the naked eye, top-notch. They had tasted the sweetness of Floral Dew; one by one, their skin had improved, and their health got better. Under these circumstances, asking them to no longer use Floral Dew in the future was really kind of difficult for them.
Most of them didn’t use it just to look good to themselves. As appendages of men, more often than not, they beautified themselves for men.
Especially for those Concubines who wanted to win favor, Concubines didn’t have the dowry or familial support of the legitimate wife, and they could only rely on a man’s affection. What attracted men the most? Faces.
Looks.
No matter the situation, this rule never changed.
No matter the era, it’s always about looks.
If the face wasn’t attractive enough, then the skin had to make up for it. If someone had skin smooth enough to resemble a peeled egg, then even if they weren’t as attractive as another woman, they could still draw attention.
So, even if the legitimate wives had the confidence to look down on Qiao Xiaomai, those Concubines didn’t. A man’s affection was their capital for establishing themselves. They would do things far less dignified than buying Floral Dew from a villager.
Besides, was it really shameful to buy Floral Dew from someone of lower status?
Even if Qiao Xiaomai’s status was inferior, her husband Tong Sanlang’s status was not bad at all. A descendant of Prince Pingnan Gu Yu, the youngest baron in Daqi, and also an educated scholar. Such status was not low. At this time, ’a woman takes pride in her husband’, and if Tong Sanlang’s status was high, didn’t Qiao Xiaomai’s status rise as well?
They were merely Concubines, their status was not even as good as Qiao Xiaomai’s.
What’s there to be prideful about? Skin health is what’s important!
