C143 (2/2)

Uncle Zhao was the head of the government, and he sold the position to the common people.

Those few years, the citizens of the Great Wei were in deep waters, until Liu Zai returned to the capital. Only then did the situation improve.

Elementary Scholar Li Xiu was dazed for a moment before he said earnestly, ”Little Su, you must not tell anyone about the Su Clan in the capital. This is considered a taboo.”

Su Zhi nodded seriously, and her heart sank as well.

If so, why did the empress dowager mistake her for a member of the Su Clan? Did the destruction of her face have anything to do with it?

”Actually, the Su Clan's injustice is much more tragic than what I've said. It's just that this matter is related to the most acrimonious secret of the court. Outsiders are not allowed to investigate any aspect of it. That's all I know.”

”Even more tragic than this?”

She already felt that the Su Clan had suffered a terrible fate. Why did she hear Elementary Scholar Li say that they were only the tip of the iceberg?

”Mm, because the Su Clan's true extermination is by exterminating three generations of their branch members.”

Su Zhi's heart shook. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. That is to say, the Su Clan was killed along with three other clans?

”Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. It's about time. Qiu Hong and the others should be here.”

Li Yi stood up to open the door, hurriedly cleaning up the things on the shelves.

Su Zhi stood blankly on the spot, her heart cold to the extreme.

She couldn't guess who had persecuted the Su Clan to such an extent. Was it the Zhao Clan? On charges of adultery and treason? During the reign of Emperor Wei Wu, the Su Clan was the only clan that had such an ending.

”Boss, you came really early today!”

Qiu Hong's call sounded out in her ears. Only then did Su Zhi come back to her senses, forcing herself to smile at her in response.

”Yo, what happened to your face? Why are there some red marks on it? ”

”It's fine, I accidentally became allergic. ”In the days that I was gone, how were the goods sold?”

Qiu Hong followed her up to the third floor. She pointed to the boutique next to her and said happily, ”You've sold out all your blubber and hand cream. You even placed a lot of orders yesterday.

Su Zhi roughly glanced at the few remaining items on the counter. The haze in her heart had dissipated quite a bit. Only a few eyebrow pens and two bottles of perfume were almost sold out. She had to work harder today, no matter what.

She took out the cloth bag she had brought with her and handed it to Qiu Hong, reminding her, ”These are all things that I did at home. You can take them and deal with them first, then have Shuang'er and the others go pick some mountain tea and plum blossoms.

”Alright. Also, the west side of the city says that a new batch of extremely good quality pearls have been brought in. I'm asking if you need them, so I can sell them to you at a cheaper price.”

Su Zhi thought about it, after the weather turned hot, she would need sunscreen products, and using pearl powder to color and whiten the original chemical medicine would be good. She wouldn't worry about not being able to sell it anyway, so she didn't worry about the expensive raw materials.

”Sure, buy some and grind them into powder. I'll make some pearl paste and face cream.”

Qiu Hong immediately went back to work.

Su Zhi entered the cubicle and first took some rose fruit oil for lipstick from the storage room, as well as various colors of white beeswax. With the raw materials, lipstick is quickly made in batches. Not long after, several finished products had been produced. They were all the color numbers that were sold well.

When Shuang'er knocked on the door to send her fresh flowers, Su Zhi had already worked hard to make mouth fat to last two days. Plus, she had nothing to do at home, which was enough to last for a long time.

There were so many varieties of camellias harvested that even the color was different. La Mei was still not defeated yet, so she was still useful.

Su Zhi soaked the flower in water, washed it and dried it, then cooled it in distilled water.

When it got hot, and the lavender and roses were open, she would try to use some of the bouquets to make lotion and mask.

Once busy, he couldn't care less.

The shadow of the Su Family had been forgotten for a long time. Su Zhi was busy with the products in her hands and did not have time to go out.

When the clamor came from downstairs, she was still curious. She opened the window and saw a crowd of people gathered downstairs to watch the commotion.

There were three blond Hu men in the crowd, dressed in brightly colored uniforms, shouting and peddling along the street.

Although the Great Wei emphasized on the control of agriculture and commerce, it still attracted many foreign merchants to do business.

In recent years, more and more merchants came from the Western Regions. Many commoners who had never seen a pervert before also came to join in on the fun.

Su Zhi could not see what Hu Shang was selling, and saw one of the man holding onto a guava.

The onlookers did not know what it was. They only saw a green fruit, afraid that it was not ripe yet. They all shook their heads and refused to buy it.

However, when the Hu Shang picked up the entire piece of wolf hide, the onlookers finally opened their mouths to ask for the price.

Su Zhi thought it was interesting and decided to take a look.
