Chapter 657: Some Things Can't Be Forced

The days continue to be dull like flowing water, as long as there is nothing to find outside, the Yeguo Mansion never takes the initiative to find trouble, and the people in the house live their lives step by step every day. ā˜†ā˜†m~wonderful~oriental~~ā˜†ā˜† (please go to see the latest chapter)

The trial production of the soap factory of Xile Fang is progressing smoothly, and the output has also increased, and every day there are carts that come to buy goods parked in front of the finished product warehouse waiting to pick up the goods, Bai Ko has done what she promised, and the family soap alone has monopolized the whole capital, because it is made of clean waste oil, and it is a large-scale production of the factory, no pancreatic craftsman has a lower cost than her, as long as her output comes up, she can easily squeeze all the pancreatic craftsmen in the capital into bankruptcy.

Soap wants to monopolize the market is relatively troublesome, there are more competitors, many old shops that do incense business also do their own fragrant pancreas, many years of operation has a fixed old customers, light yƬ will not change, Bai Ko with hand washing y to win their attention, hoping to divert a part of the source of customers, turn into their own customers.

However, paper soap by the good luck brought by the order in the palace, and the same as the family soap, is a fresh and exclusive commodity, the favorite of business travelers, there are incense merchants who want to participate in the competition, but the gap in technology and technology can not catch up for a while, can only watch Bai Ko monopolize the market.

The palace for this year's winter hunting still gave Bai Ko an order for paper soap, the completion is very easy, even if it is a unique fragrance is no longer difficult, now there is a special perfume room, spend a high price to invite a master who is good at perfume and accept a primary apprentice, the biggest task every day is to prepare a unique fragrance that belongs to the fresh and dirty, used in all kinds of goods produced in the factory, in order to compete with those time-honored brands for customers.

The household officials who often visit the workshop calculated an approximate amount of the annual advance tax collected by the entire Xile Fang, and compared with last year, the total amount of this year's substantial increase made the entire imperial court amazed, and the face of Gu Yunan, the prince of Yeguo, was quite bright.

Bai Ko entrusted to his grandfather's house to make the scale also through the acceptance and trial, added a lot of quantities in the factory of raw material warehouse, whenever there are raw materials sent, the inspection of the scale to do the scale, a few days after the news spread, attracted a lot of businessmen who do rice, flour, grain and oil and other bulk commodity business to visit the real thing, and then go to the chapter shop to place an order.

When Qiē was developing in a good way, Bai Qiao suddenly received a notice from the factory that the raw materials used to make housework soap were found to have a problem, and the oil was mixed with water.

Since the purchase of waste oil to make housework soap, there has never been a case of oil sellers mixing water in the oil to cheat money, not to mention that it is well known that there are court officials in and out of Xile Fang every now and then, so they dare to do tricks, it seems that they think they will not be caught and eat lawsuits.

But in fact, whoever sells this kind of raw material purchased from the private sector will put a label on it after it is put into storage, so that if something happens, the source can be quickly identified and the person who should be responsible can be found.

Bai Ko rushed to the factory, checked the storage flow, and soon found out the person who sold the oil, and was surprised to find that this was an old customer, and the weight of the oil sold every time was very stable, indicating that the other party's oil collection channel was very stable, but the weight of this batch of waste oil mixed with water was doubled.

"The white shopkeeper was careless in our warehouse, and he didn't find the oil mixed with water on the spot." The chief steward of the raw material warehouse stood beside Bai Ko apologetically, his face sweating like pulp.

"You know that it's good to blame yourself, even if you realize your mistakes, you can't be troublesome to receive the goods in the future, and every barrel must be carefully checked."

"Yes, don't worry, we won't make such mistakes again."

"This oil seller is our old customer, this batch of suddenly mixed with so much water must be a problem, you do things as usual, don't make a noise for the time being, I'll check quietly first, if they are maliciously deceived, they will no longer accept their goods."

"Yes, a qiē is up to the white shopkeeper."

Bai Ko returned to the house and sent Gu Yun's guards to investigate, and it took two days to find out, the matter was very simple, there was no disgusting scheme, but the old patron who sold oil had a son who was not angry, the last time he sold oil was he ran errands on behalf of his father, in order to change more money to mix water in the oil, the money deceived was spent in one night, Bai Ko asked the guards to warn their family, either send a new batch of oil to the factory, or cancel the business with them, or report to the official for fraud.

The oil seller's family naturally chose to replenish enough oil, and the oil money they sold to the factory every month was enough to support their family, which was already their livelihood, but when they re-sent the oil to the factory, the factory anonymously publicized the matter, and the government immediately came to investigate, because this was the first case to appear, so they reluctantly agreed to Bai Ko's private affairs, but emphasized that if there is a similar incident, it must be reported to the official.

As soon as this happened, the businessmen and dealers who did business with the factory scolded the unknown liar so that the ancestors of the eighteenth generation could not lie down underground, the factory did business very well, and the cash settlement did not pressure the goods, just with the advantage of fast return of funds, it was enough to retain the old partners, and then attract new partners, and everyone worked together to make money, not to mention that the owner of the factory was born in a powerful family, and there was the support of the imperial court, and he played tricks to come here.

Bai Ko also took this opportunity to come up with a stricter acquisition charter, which extended the time for inspection, and he wanted to wait a while to get the money, but no one dared to object, and if he wanted to scold, he would also scold the liar, and he would do bad things alone, and even a group of people would be affected.

After this small accident was dealt with, the factory was temporarily stopped, for the sake of taxes, all parties in the court were staring, and it was difficult for people with bad intentions in the outside world to misbehave, for fear that the internal would not abide by the regulations and be negligent, so Bai Ko's focus of prevention has always been on his own people.

June passed unconsciously, in this month, Ning Peilan invited several banquets, but they were all female family gatherings, no male guests attended, and the palace chief would not invite female guests to dinner, so Tong Mingli never had the opportunity to see Gu Yun at the banquet again, people became more and more haggard, the family was worried, but they didn't know why, they just thought that they were still trapped in the nightmare of the last engagement and couldn't extricate themselves, the doctor changed several, but the medicine he took didn't change much, and the diagnosis said that it was heart disease, but no one knew what the heart medicine for heart disease was.

After entering July, the beginning of autumn ushered in, seeing that Xu Danai's due date was quietly approaching, the house was ready, and the stable woman who specially delivered the wives lived in the house early, and even Da Nainai's mother and sister-in-law worked tirelessly from Pingzhou to temporarily live in Gan's second brother's house, and came to visit her daughter with her two daughters-in-law every now and then.

On one side is the mother-in-law, on the other side is the mother-in-law, for the question of how to eat the diet of pregnant women, the two ladies can talk without speculation, and the words are puffed up with sticks, and then they are persuaded by their respective subordinates to open, and the same scene will be repeated next time the mother-in-law comes to the door.

When Bai Ko doesn't go out, he listens to the gossip in the second room in the house, and then relays it to others, it doesn't matter which side is right, it's just for fun.

Mrs. Gan is also an arrogant character, she always disagrees with her mother-in-law like this, her daughter and son-in-law are caught in a dilemma, she is very unhappy, but she can't shrew the street, seeing that Gu Chan is still in the boudoir, she is angry, either in the daughter's room to ridicule Gu Chan for not being able to marry, or in front of Gu Er's wife, she cares about Gu Chan's marriage, and introduces her to Gan's nephew, which seems to be kind, but it sounds harsh.

Gu Chan's marriage is a thorn in the heart of Second Mrs. Gu, how can she not pick a satisfactory boy, watching Gu Chan's age grow day by day, she is so worried that her white hair has grown a few times.

Tong Mingli was also extremely thoughtful, and her brain suddenly opened up, she couldn't see Gu Yun in other people's homes, but she would definitely be able to see Gu Yun in Gu's house, so she proposed to her parents that she wanted to go to her aunt's house for a few days to relax.

Tong Hanlin and his wife thought that their daughter was really lonely at home alone, and they didn't even have a peer to talk to, and they went to their aunt to at least have sisters as companions, so they wrote to Mrs. Gu.

Second Mrs. Gu didn't want to entertain Tong Mingli anymore, for fear that she would come to live for a few more days and cause something, but she pitied her nephew's unprovoked sin, and couldn't bear it, so she agreed to her brother's request, sent a car to pick up Tong Mingli to come to the house, and arranged for her to stay in the previous guest room and eat and sleep with Gu Chan.

Tong Mingli wanted to get a few chances to meet Gu Yun in Gu Mansion, but Gu Yun's time to and from school now is different every day, only the people in Zhong Mingyuan know the young master's work and rest arrangement, everyone in the mansion knows how tight those girls' mouths are, outsiders like Tong Mingli can't inquire about anything at all, and they don't dare to let Gu Chan help her inquire, for fear that she will know that her thoughts will leak out, she can only comfort herself, since she lives in, there will always be a chance.

Gu Yun learned from Bai Ko that Tong Mingli had come to live again, and his face changed slightly, which attracted Bai Ko's attention, and he raised his eyebrows to look at him.

Under Bai Ko's direct gaze, Gu Yun didn't keep the secret, and told Bai Ko what the palace chief told him.

"Laugh if you want." Gu Yun said a little frustratedly.

"Why do you laugh if you don't want to laugh?" White Kom sensibly expressed his innocence.

"Really? In the future, it is not allowed to turn over old accounts. ā€

"Don't flip, it only makes sense if you also like Miss Tong, do you like her?"

"I don't like it."

"Okay, you can go out and change to the stables in the future, she won't go over there and meet you."

"Huh?! Why should I change it? ā€

"Because she is a guest, she has liked you for several years, it was just an ordinary girl Huaichun, and it would be okay if she got married, who expected her marriage to go well, and was ruthlessly pitted, and there must be an outlet for depression, just right, your wise and martial prince reappeared in front of her eyes, saving her in danger, and her uneasy heart didn't find a place to stay."

"I have to make it clear, I wasn't the one who saved her."

"Yes, the matter was done by the servant, and the credit is credited to our eldest lord and eldest lady, as well as your grandfather, it is not surprising that she wants to make a promise. That's right, why didn't she directly ask her parents to come to the door and say that the great favor was unrequited, and she was willing to promise it with her body? Alas, the daughter who used to look quite smart and clever is now confused like this? Throwing out the difficult problem is the one who takes the question. ā€

Gu Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and pinched Bai Ko's ears angrily.

"Which side are you on?"

"Naturally, it's on your side." Bai Ko immediately looked well-behaved.

"And you still have so much nonsense?"

"It's not like you're in a hurry."

"So what now? She lives at home, and it's okay for me to avoid her every day, as if I was a thief. ā€

"Anyway, she doesn't know your work and rest time, if she has the heart to stay outside the gate of Zhongming Courtyard every day from morning to night, you might as well follow."

"I knew you were waiting to see me laugh."

"Oh, don't be too nervous, maybe you're thinking too much, maybe Miss Tong doesn't mean to make a promise, she just wants to be closer to the boy she likes, and treat you as a medicine for her heart disease, and she won't need you when she recovers."

"This sounds even more uncomfortable, according to what you say, she won't need me to take care of her body, so what has become of me?"

"Dregs."

Gu Yun choked on these words, and glared at Bai Ko, "If I become a medicine scum, then what will become of you?" ā€

"The one who cleaned up the dregs."

"You're angry with me."

"The first time I saw a girl chasing after me, I was excited for a while."

"Let's be honest! You yourself don't believe that her intentions are pure. ā€

"Anyway, you don't go to the second room, as long as she doesn't come to block you, you have nothing to worry about, it's a big deal to go in and out of the stable every day."

"Speaking of which, I just can't even walk through the gate just in case."

"Anyway, it's common for you to go in and out of the stables, and no one will think that you are deliberately avoiding Miss Tong."

"Can you find a way to get her home early?"

"Find her a new man."

"Can you be reliable?"

"This is the most reliable way, give her a new man she likes, and she won't care about you."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ How to listen to this makes people even more uncomfortable. ā€

"It's not going to work, it's not good, what the hell do you want? In fact, if there are girls who like you, are you secretly proud in your heart? ā€

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Gu Yun jumped up and denied it like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "This matter is left to you, no matter what means you use, let her go home early." This is for her good, all the boys in our house are now at the age of marriage, don't cause any gossip, Gu Feng in their second room is Ding this year, and he and Tong Mingli are only nominally related, but there is no blood relationship. ā€

"Fourth young master, too, it's better to avoid suspicion."

"You just work hard, use your brains, and let Tong Mingli go home early. Or you discuss it with Ning Peilan and see if you can find a good man for her again, don't keep her staring at me, I panicked. ā€

"Well, that's a real problem."

"I'll leave this matter to you, don't tell me anything she does, I don't care."

"Oh, well, you can endure for a few more days, and use your brains to be inspired."

"You can do it."

Gu Yun shook his shoulders, as if he was about to shake off a trouble, and then went to the low cabinet to find a book and sit down to read, and made up his mind that no matter what Bai Ko did, he drove Tong Mingli home.

Bai Xin also scratched her head with a lot of difficulty, after all, Tong Mingli didn't have a harmful heart, and the girl had many beautiful emotions in Huaichun, but it was a pity that a piece of heart was wrongly paid.

It's a pity.
