The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1026 Am I dreaming?

The shop assistant was taken aback by the question. These blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners actually knew about perfume? You see, the unique perfume in their shop was personally created by their General's Mansion's young lady—oh! Now she's the Princess Consort of Jing—and no one else could ever replicate it.

He suppressed his curiosity and was about to explain to them when a series of hurried footsteps approached. The newcomer was none other than Manager Qin, who was in his thirties at their Rainbow Butterfly Pavilion.

As he came downstairs, he saw the group of blond men, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. The Butterfly Pavilion mainly sold women's products.

The store mainly sells women's cosmetics such as rouge and lipstick, and also sells exquisite accessories such as hair ornaments, hairpins, and hair ornaments with dangling ornaments. They also sell personal items such as sachets and face powder.

Now their shop also offers perfumes, soaps, small mirrors, and face and hand creams developed by Princess Jing. Even more appealing are the various small bags, many exquisitely embroidered.

But what's with these grown men barging in? He couldn't just kick them out, though; their shop hadn't said men weren't allowed in! He had no choice but to go and greet them.

As Manager Qin approached, he heard one of the men stammering in broken Western Chu dialect, asking the young shop assistant about perfume. He quickly stepped forward, and the young shop assistant, seeing this, immediately smiled and cleverly said to the blond men:

"Esteemed guests, this is Manager Qin of our Rainbow Butterfly Pavilion. He saw that you have come from afar, so he personally greeted you. Please feel free to ask him any questions you may have."

Manager Qin suppressed his surprise and put on a gentle smile: "Welcome, distinguished guests who have come from afar. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Henry quickly translated what the young waiter and the shopkeeper had said to Prince Jolif and his entourage. Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Shopkeeper Qin, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Henry quickly held up the exquisite little carved porcelain bottle in his hand and handed it to Manager Qin: "Manager Qin! Is this bottle filled with perfume?"

"Exactly." Manager Qin smiled kindly and gestured to the row of porcelain bottles on the counter. "These are all different types of perfumes, each corresponding to a different floral scent. The labels are next to the small flowers carved on the bottles."

He paused, then pointed to the large window at the front of the shop, "That's a dedicated fragrance testing area. Samples of every perfume are available for you to try. There are also seats in the testing area so you can take your time to try them out."

The owner of the Colorful Butterfly Pavilion is none other than Ouyang Yunxiang, Ouyang Yunyao's second elder brother. All the novel items in the shop were provided by Ouyang Yunyao. Even the layout of the shop for customers to sample fragrances and rest was improved based on her suggestions.

After Henry translated Manager Qin's words to their men, Jolief and the others' eyes lit up, and they all stared wide-eyed at the perfume testing area.

After Jorif rattled off a few words, the blond men escorted Prince Jorif toward the perfume testing area.

At this time, there were already many female relatives of officials in the perfume testing area. Some were trying perfumes, some were trying lipsticks and soaps, and they were chattering and making a lot of noise.

Although the customs of the Western Chu Kingdom are relatively open, and it is common for men to accompany women to this shop to buy things, it is still rare to see several blond men coming together.

The ladies who were trying out perfumes were stunned. Several older women went upstairs, while the younger women blushed and hid in other areas, but couldn't help turning back frequently to curiously observe these foreigners.

Joliffe and his group didn't care about these things. On their continent, it was perfectly normal for men and women to be together, so they didn't pay any attention to these matters.

When they arrived at the fragrance testing area, they couldn't wait to try them out. They put a drop of each perfume on their fingertips, inhaled it carefully, and were particularly captivated by the exquisitely carved porcelain bottles.

The six fragrances each have a different scent, and these perfumes are better than the ones they brought; they couldn't bear to part with any of them.

But considering that such a fine item must be very expensive, the group exchanged glances and whispered a few words.

At this moment, Henry looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper Qin, how much gold does this small porcelain bottle of perfume cost?"

"Gold?" Manager Qin was completely bewildered by the question. He was taken aback. What? Gold? Did he misspoke, or did he mishear?

He looked at Henry in disbelief and asked, "Sir, what did you just say?"

"I...I asked, how much gold does this little bottle of perfume cost?" Henry thought he hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated it again, stammering and emphasizing his words.

Manager Qin then confirmed that he hadn't misheard, and was secretly surprised that these blond men were so wealthy? They actually wanted to give gold! But he still smiled and said, "Are you referring to these perfumes, sir? These small porcelain bottles are only twenty taels of silver each."

This is a truly unique and precious item from our Butterfly Pavilion!

He paused for a moment and then continued, “There are six varieties of this small porcelain bottle perfume. It’s more cost-effective to buy a set of six bottles. A set costs only one hundred taels of silver and comes with an exquisite gift box.”

"You... Manager Qin, what... what did you say?" Now it was Henry's turn to be completely dumbfounded. He was so shocked that he could barely speak.

He stared wide-eyed at Manager Qin in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity, and said, "You...you said that buying these six different small porcelain bottles together is...is it one hundred taels of silver? Not gold?"

When Jolief and the others saw Henry's expression, they assumed that the expensive perfume had frightened him. Their faces instantly fell in disappointment, and they all looked at Henry.

Seeing this, Manager Qin, though somewhat amused and exasperated by the question, patiently nodded: "It is indeed one hundred taels of silver, not gold." He then added jokingly, "However, if you insist on paying in gold, sir, we will naturally accept it."

Henry chuckled awkwardly, then excitedly began translating for Jolie and the others.

The disappointment on their faces vanished instantly, and they all gaped, staring excitedly at Manager Qin, chattering away and gesturing wildly.

They all exclaimed, "Is this real? Is this real? Am I dreaming?"

But Manager Qin had no idea what they were talking about. He just raised an eyebrow and looked at Henry, who could speak the language of Western Chu.

The blond men suddenly realized that the shopkeeper didn't understand their language. They looked at Henry, and Charles, mouth agape, exclaimed first, "Henry, you...you're not mistaken, are you?" This sudden happiness had stunned them!

Because in their land, even a small bottle of the perfume they brought costs ten taels of gold, and they only have two different scents there.

"Absolutely right, I asked twice on purpose," Henry said confidently, waving his hand.
