Chapter 180: Making Money
In the afternoon, Luo Mingzhu continued to study with the musician, and Yueyao took Xiang Wei to sketch on the mountain.
As soon as Yue Yao arrived in the front yard, she was surprised to see Bai Han, why hadn't Bai Han left yet. Yue Yao was very skeptical that Mingzhu was really as favored as she imagined, otherwise no matter how she ordered it, the people below would be disobedient.
Bai Han smiled when he saw Yue Yaopi and said, "Is Miss Lian going back?" "Bai Han vaguely knows something about yesterday. The people in Jingning Hou's mansion are very strict with their mouths to the outside world, but Bai Han's identity is special, and he also heard some rumors.
Yue Yao smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm just going to go outside." ”
Bai Han exclaimed: "Oh my God? You are a girl walking around, what if you run into a bad person? "This is still everyone's beauty, even the little women in the market will not be so arrogant in the mountains. When she goes back, she must tell her aunt about it.
Yue Yao smiled lightly: "This doesn't bother you to worry. I remember that Mingzhu ordered someone to send you back, why are you still here? Does Mingzhu know about this? Yueyao was speechless to Mingzhu, and was fooled to this point by her subordinates, which shows how idiotic she is on weekdays.
Bai Han's face froze.
Yue Yao walked out of the courtyard with a smile, Bi Shaoye waited at the door with two entourages, and followed Yue Yao to the mountain.
Yue Yao climbed the mountain for a long time, stood in a flat place and looked at the opposite peak, and immediately spread out the painting tools she brought and began to paint.
Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao's posture, as if she was a great painter.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Yueyao finished the painting in her hand. Yue Yao looked at the mountain peaks opposite, then looked at the painting in her hand, and nodded to herself.
Xiang Wei pointed to heaven and said, "Girl, it's so beautiful." If only you could draw her. ”
Yueyao looked at the sky.
The clear blue sky was filled with large white clouds, which were as red as a flame in the setting sun.
Xiang Wei saw Yueyao looking at the sky in a daze, and she didn't dare to come forward to disturb Yueyao's appearance, for fear of interrupting Yueyao's thinking.
In the blink of an eye, the last light in the sky has also been integrated into the dark twilight, the sky is gradually darkening, and the surrounding ** mountains also show a blue and white outline. As the twilight deepened, the earth suddenly fell into chaos.
Yueyao read softly: "Ten thousand gullies have a sound with evening sounds, and the peaks are speechless and the sun is slanting." ”
Xiang Wei listened to Yueyao reading poetry, and was glad that she was not called Yueyao just now, this call would definitely lose her inspiration, and then she would really lose her temper, and because of this cognition, in the years to come, Xiang Wei never dared to plan her when Yueyao was painting.
Yue Yao walked halfway, turned to Xiang Wei and said, "In two days, I will paint this scene." "She had to look before she could put pen to paper.
Xiang Wei thought for a while before she understood what Yueyao said.
As soon as Yueyao returned to the courtyard, Luo Mingzhu stepped forward and complained, "What are you doing here?" It took so much of a day to come back? ”
Yue Yao smiled: "I went sketching." ”
Luo Mingzhu said strangely: "Sketching? What is Sketching? "How could she have never heard such a new term!
Yueyao explained: "It's the scenery. ”
Luo Mingzhu didn't understand, and she didn't want to understand, but Mingzhu was also very happy and said: "Today, the musician said that if I can do it every day, I can learn one song in a month at most." You also said it would take me a year or two to make it, and I told you that in three months I would be able to blow a whole tune out of leaves. As long as Luo Mingzhu thought that he could do what Yueyao did in two years in three months, he was very proud and more motivated.
Bai Yi didn't know why the girl would believe Miss Lian's words. In fact, Bai Yi is also very strange, Yue Yao knows too many things, although these things are not proficient, but Yue Yao has many things involved.
Yue Yao smiled: "It's not too late to tell me this sentence after you learn it." Yueyao's words seemed to imply that Mingzhu couldn't hold on and would give up halfway.
Luo Mingzhu snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I can definitely learn it within three months." "I actually underestimated her, hmph, she must not let Lian Yueyao look down on her.
Yueyao knew Mingzhu's temperament, so she stimulated Mingzhu a little every few days so that she could persevere.
Half a month has passed, Mingzhu learns music with the musician every morning, practices words for an hour and a half in the afternoon and evening, and when she is bored, she takes the book that Yueyao brought over to read.
Bai Yi knew Yueyao's temperament, so he didn't restrict Mingzhu from reading Yueyao's books, but he didn't expect Mingzhu, who hates books the most on weekdays, to read those travelogues with relish. Sometimes I wait for Yueyao to come back and discuss one or two.
When Ping heard the news, he was so surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth: "You mean it really? "My sister-in-law was able to practice calligraphy and learn music with all her heart, and she persisted for half a month, which is not considered the sun coming out of the west.
The mother-in-law who came back to report the news said with certainty: "Mrs. Shizi, this matter is absolutely true. ”
The corners of Ping's mouth were smiling, how many gentlemen did not do it, but let Yueyao do it, is this a miracle: "How did even the girl do it?" ”
The mother-in-law said about the two of them on the mountain, and the quarrel on the mountain villa is something to emphasise. The mother-in-law said: "Mrs. Shizi, the third girl has restrained her temperament since that day. During this time, I have been working hard to learn to play the piano. The girl is learning very well! ”
Ping said with a smile: "This kid ......" It seems that asking Yueyao to be Mingzhu's companion is really the right person.
In the evening, the Ping family told Luo Shao about these things.
Luo Shao actually knew about the villa for a long time, but he didn't show it in front of the Ping family. Luo Shao smiled: "She only needs two guards, but she suffers." "One of the two guards given by the Hou Mansion was eliminated after being injured, and the other was originally going to be driven out of the Hou Mansion, compared to what Yue Yao did, the Hou Mansion's behavior was a bit inferior.
After thinking for a while, Ping said, "I'll give her another heavy gift." ”
Jing Ning Hou Shizi shook his head: "There is no need for heavy gifts, if you need to help in the future." "An orphan girl encounters such a blood relative who is not offline, and sooner or later something will happen.
Ping nodded and turned to talk about the cloth shop: "At that time, I just thought that Zhuang's business was a good hand, but I didn't expect it to be so hot." Last month, I received a dividend of nearly 3,000 taels of silver, and I will be able to return to my capital in less than three months. ”
Jing Ning Hou Shizi was not surprised, and said with a smile, "It is said that he got a secret recipe, and it is normal to take the lead in making money with this secret recipe, as long as the secret recipe is not leaked, you can always make money." "Naturally, it is the exclusive ownership that is the most profitable.
Ping naturally knew this reason, but she was a little worried: "Shizi, do you say that this secret recipe will be coveted?" Ping knew that Zhuang Ruolan found her that day to save the meaning of taking advantage of the situation, this kind of mutually beneficial thing, she was naturally willing to do. Now that the cloth dyed by the cloth shop is so hot, if someone covets her, she will have to come forward, and she will naturally have to contribute if she gets the benefits. But before she came forward, she had to mention it to her husband.
Jing Ning Hou Shizi said with a smile: "I am doing business for eight catties, what is there to worry about." "The profit of the dyeing workshop is high, but if you want to blatantly occupy it, you have to see if you have this background. The Zhuang family is not a flat-headed commoner, but there is a second-grade father and a foreign family in the Guogong Mansion, even if Jingning Houfu does not come forward, it will be fine.
Ping smiled and didn't say anything more. Men and women think differently, and Ping knows very well that what Ruolan is worried about is not outsiders, but people from the Guogong Mansion. When necessary, she had to come forward to support Ruolan, so that the people of the Guogong Mansion would not dare to act arbitrarily.
Mrs. Lu Guogong really didn't expect that a dye workshop would be able to get a dividend of nearly 1,000 taels of silver in a month, and when she knew that Zhuang Ruolan had a secret recipe on hand, she immediately regretted it.
Zhuang Ruolan happily added a share to her. Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo are her grandparents and grandmothers, they are blood relatives, even if there is no interest in asking them for something in the future, they will not refuse. But my aunt is different, although she has a good relationship with her aunt, but it would be safer if she could tie her interests together.
Other people in the Guogong Mansion also wanted to buy shares, but Zhuang Ruolan refused them all, and the reason for refusal was very simple, the shares were already full, and they couldn't be empty.
The second lady of the Lu Guogong Mansion gritted her teeth with hatred, if she had let Zhuang Ruolan marry her son, it would be equivalent to holding a golden nest, but now she has cheapened the Ma family for nothing. The unwilling second lady ran to the Duchess to chew a few words, and was reprimanded by the Duchess of Guo.
Mrs. Shizi sneered when she heard this: "Ruolan is the only niece of her mother-in-law, where can she chew the root of her tongue." In the eyes of her mother-in-law, where can a daughter-in-law kiss her niece. Mrs. Shizi is glad that Ruolan did not marry into the second room, if Ruolan marries into the second room, where will she be good.
And the moon ring at this time is not having a good time. Under the persecution of Mohs, she finally took out the practice of handmade soap. This time, Mo didn't take it to Yu Ji to sell, but took it to the largest rouge shop in the capital, the rouge shop of the imperial merchant Qian family in the capital.
Because of the lipstick, Yuehuan is also well-known in this industry. The shopkeeper heard that it was Yuehuan's handiwork, and immediately agreed to put it in the store for sale. Handmade soap is not as popular as lipstick, but people who buy it say that it is better than soap, and there are many repeat customers.
The shopkeeper originally wanted to sign a contract with Mo's and prepare for long-term cooperation, but Mo's said that she was going to sell the formula and was ready to buy and sell it with a hammer.
Although the shopkeeper was surprised, this was a happy event for him, and he could make his own formula when he bought it, and the profit was greater.
Mo was more cautious this time than last time, and asked about the prospect of the moon ring. Yuehuan is also not easy to estimate, and after thinking about it, he said: "It can't be worse than the income of lipstick." ”
Mohs actually doesn't want to sell it, it's naturally good to have a long stream. But now the problem is that the things she mortgaged are about to expire, and if there is no money, those things are not hers. She had to raise money as soon as possible to redeem the things.
Mohs finally offered 30,000 taels, and in the end, the two sides bargained and bought out the formula of handmade soap for 20,000 taels of silver.
I don't know how the news got out of the mansion. Yuehuan was expressionless when she got the news, not to mention selling 20,000 taels, even if she sold 200,000 taels, it had nothing to do with her. And she received not a penny.
Yuehuan only sighed, she had never seen such a greedy person, and she didn't let go of a penny. Yuehuan really didn't understand why Aunt Su was still dead set on the Mo family, such a person was dead set on her, but she was not in a hurry to let her gnaw off the bone slag.
Yueying listened to Yueyao's words and slowly distanced herself from Cailan.
Cai Lan thought that Cai Qing had said bad things about her in front of Yueying, and she was angry with Cai Qing, so she made a trick to make Cai Qing have an accident and break her leg. Unfortunately, what Cai Lan did was seen by the little maid below.
Yueying was furious and told Mo that he wanted to drive Cai Lan away.
Mo Shi is now bent on scraping together the money so that he can redeem the shop and land mortgaged to the bank, so Yueying wants to send Cai Lan at this juncture, which makes her very dissatisfied, you must know that Cai Lan is her person.
Mo Shi looked at Yueying, and couldn't help but think of the two thousand nine hundred taels of silver that Yuehuan took the initiative to give her. Yuehuan took the initiative to hand over the old lady's makeup, and it didn't make sense that Yueying's money should be kept.
The evidence is conclusive, and Mo will not fall into the hands of others like this, so he immediately sold Cai Lan as Yue Ying wanted, and gave a second-class maid next to Yue Ying to fill the vacancy of Cai Lan. If it weren't for Yueying saying that she would come back when Cai Qing recovered, Mo would definitely have to stuff one more maid for her.
Yueying is not stupid, with the precedent of picking blue, she is wary of the new maids, but relies on two second-class maids.
The busiest thing in Lianfu is Yue Bing, busy with beauty, busy learning all kinds of things from Wang's mother, and there is only one goal to do this, to get married.
