Chapter 114
When Feng and You San'er said goodbye from the East Palace, it was almost dawn on the palm of the lamp. The palace doors are almost locked. If it weren't for the fear that the Feng family and the third sister would not be able to go home after the palace door was locked, the crown princess would still have to stay for dinner.
The crown princess is so enthusiastic, not to mention the little idea before she came, it is the matter of Third Sister You begging the princess to appreciate her face and serve as the president of the Xianyuan Assembly, and the crown princess is also very happy.
The two of them were led out of the palace all the way in the palace and got into the carriage. Feng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, took Third Sister You'er's hand and said with a smile: "It's really scared me to death." Just now I saw the crown princess Niangniang mention that Ning Guofu asked to marry the daughter of the Qin family, and I didn't know how to answer correctly. Fortunately, your clever words not only made the crown princess happy, but also took the matter through in a comprehensive manner. Presumably, the crown princess will no longer have a grudge against our Chen family? ”
When Third Sister You heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not our Chen family's business in the first place, why should we carry that pot." As for Uncle Zhen of Ning Guofu, his brain was filled with water, how could others persuade him to stay? As the saying goes, even if the two families are in contact with each other, we are not good at mixing with other people's private affairs. The crown princess understands the righteousness and naturally understands our hardships. As for what I just said, it was just the princess's own meaning, and I will say it for her, so that we can all have an explanation for each other. ”
If it weren't for the crown princess, her heart would be like a mirror. Today's events cannot be so properly thought through.
Feng Shi listened to Third Sister You'er's words, and still smiled: "I don't understand what you said. I only know that if it weren't for you today, if someone else had changed, even if I said these words, I might not be able to make the princess show her face. It can be seen that what is said is divided into whom. Even if it is the same thing, some people say it and it is reassuring, and some people say it and it is annoying. Now you have entered the eyes of the crown princess. In the future, I will have some confidence in communicating. ”
Third Sister You smiled slightly, and she was also pleased that she had succeeded in the end, and she didn't run in vain.
persuaded the crown princess to take up the position of president. The rest is even easier. It's just an appointment to make an appointment to invite the ladies who received the notes from the virtuous lady to Chen Yuan, and then everyone sits together to eat, drink, and gossip. Then do some aromatherapy baths that later generations are accustomed to, soak in hot soup, and feel good about relaxation.
This kind of process is really accustomed to the third sister You who came from later generations. However, for these ladies who are detained in the back house of the Chengri family, it is very fresh.
After a day of comfortable and fragrant enjoyment, the whole person is not only radiant, but also in a much better mood. When she went to the house in the evening, the third sister You gave small gifts such as incense powder and rouge specially prepared for Chen Yuan's distinguished guests according to the different grades of each person's virtuous notes, which were also only for the inside and not for the outside.
There was food, drink and take, and it was a lot of fun. The ladies and daughters naturally have a good impression of Chen Yuan and Third Sister You. After that, the third sister You found an opportunity to get together twice, chatting, laughing, and having fun. Everyone is slightly familiar with each other, and the things they talk about have slowly involved the housework from the fashionable clothing and jewelry patterns.
In this way, more than two months of work passed, and the torrential rains in the middle of summer caused floods to destroy several people. Third Sister You intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that she could raise silver and materials in the name of Xianyuanji to support the imperial court for disaster relief, and she was also doing her best for Tiancangsheng.
Third Sister You had already communicated with the crown princess for a long time. The crown princess also took advantage of the situation and tried her best to promote this matter. The ladies and dependents were either merciful or disapproving, but no one would refute the princess's kindness in person, so everyone discussed with each other, and sure enough, the first charity disaster relief funds were handed over to the prince by the princess herself, and then the prince handed it over to the court to show her gratitude.
And Chen Qi took the opportunity to hint that the official imperial history played a commendation for the daughters of each family, cherishing the court and the virtue of the people. Yongjia Emperor Long Yan Dayue personally praised the female dependents led by Xianyuanji.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan and Xianyuan gathered their fame. You Sanjie took advantage of the situation to propose that the charity disaster relief be properly organized, which became a common practice. At the same time, Xianyuan was invited to serve as a director, and the crown princess Niangniang negotiated with each other to jointly coordinate the charity activities of Xianyuanji. Other dependents oversee where each payment comes from, making sure to be financially transparent and clear about spending.
For this reason, Third Sister You also specially cultivated five or six female accounting rooms who are good at managing accounts, and at this moment they finally have a place to use.
In order to promote Chen Yuan and Xianyuan's collection of fame, the third sister You has done a lot of things openly and secretly, and the piles are interlocking. It was clearly premeditated.
This matter is now on the water, not to mention that the ladies and dependents of each family are not stupid people, but other irrelevant people, and they also feel that the drunkard of Third Sister You is not drinking.
However, you are very happy to enjoy it in Chen Yuan, and now you have both fame and fortune, which is beneficial to others and yourself. I don't need to worry about what Third Sister You is thinking.
As for Third Sister You'er's move, it was just to run a better business. Now Chen Yuan and the virtuous women are famous, and the nobles and nobles in Beijing want to enter the collection, regardless of whether they are for fame or profit, or for networking, and they are limited to Chen Yuan's membership regulations and have no way to enter. I had to inquire about the ladies who are now members, and those who are looking for love and looking for a way want to get a letter of recommendation, and then hold a membership fee of thousands of taels a year and want to get a virtuous note. Even the ladies and daughters of other provinces are also eager for Chen Yuan. It is also a generous gift to bribe the edicts of the virtuous women. Just ask for a recommendation.
Seeing this, many noble ladies were also happy to enjoy the flattery of their relatives and friends, and they made enough gestures and took enough benefits to lead everyone into the garden.
Third Sister You made a lot of money because of this move, which made people red-eyed. Every time she chatted, she had to joke and ask Third Sister You how much money she had earned.
Seeing that everyone was very concerned about this matter, Third Sister You threw out another big bait - that is, to invite everyone to take the silver as a shareholder and participate in the daily operation of Chen Yuan.
The ladies in the Xianyuan collection were still jealous that Third Sister You could make money every day, and they admired Third Sister You's resourcefulness and wit, and she could always come up with all kinds of ways to make money. But I really didn't expect that Third Sister You would be so generous as to invite them to join the shares and earn silver together. I was a little confused for a while, and I didn't know what Third Sister You was thinking.
What can Third Sister You have in mind? It's just learning from the financing and listing of future generations of business operations. In today's world, it is impossible to go public. However, inviting everyone to come in for financing, the benefits are evenly distributed, and at the same time, the risk is shared.
Of course, as the founder and decision-maker of Chen Yuan, it is also necessary for You Sanjie to occupy an absolute "controlling stake".
As for the other edicts in the Xianyuan Collection, they must also explain things before they spend money on capital - if you want to make money, you can make money, but you can only enjoy the dividends at the end of the year, and as for the decision-making power of management rights, don't worry about it.
The edicts were originally the magnanimity of Chen Yuan's daily progress, but now they can see that they can get a piece of the pie, even if they don't have the right to make business decisions, they are all happy. When he arrived, he took care of his dowry ladder and came over to participate in the shares.
Third Sister You took this opportunity to raise a large amount of money. Fortunately, she has already thought of a follow-up investment plan. After the financing was ordered by each family, various investments were put on the agenda.
The first thing was to set up a "women's newspaper" in the name of Jinghuayuan. said that it was a "women's newspaper", but in fact, it was just a tabloid made after the newspaper at this time, which was read by the ladies of the house. The information above is nothing more than the fashionable clothing styles, jewelry patterns, gossip secrets, chapter reply books, etc., and the content is comparable to the fashion magazines of later generations.
Because the president of the Xianyuan Collection is the crown princess, the directors and members are also the princesses and the ladies of the three grades or more. Therefore, when Third Sister You proposed the establishment of "Mirror Flower Newspaper", everyone didn't expect so much, and they didn't worry about public opinion. Anyway, this newspaper is not open to men.
Since there are newspapers, it is natural that they have to attract investment advertisements.
Third Sister You simply explained to the ladies in the Xianyuan collection first, and saw if you were willing to let your own dowry shop advertise in the newspaper or something. As for the remaining empty version, I went outside to bid for it.
This part of the income is because the "Jinghuayuan Daily" has just been launched, and there is neither the circulation of the newspaper nor the advertising benefit, so the merchants who come to "bid" are also suspicious. The third sister You sold half of the first three issues of the advertising space and gave it away, and it was a reward.
Then the third sister You mentioned that the ladies of each family took out the customer information of the dowry shop in their hands, and everyone established a business alliance with each other. At that time, they can not only communicate with each other, but also help each other, forming a relatively stable industrial chain......
All in all, when Third Sister You was busy in the dark, and finally sorted out the contacts and various resources in her hands to understand and integrate, it was already summer and autumn outside, and the leaves were dyed golden.
It was the Chen family who reminded Third Sister You once, and Third Sister You suddenly remembered that it was almost the day when Ning Guofu would hold a happy event.
Jia Zhen of Ningfu asked for his son to marry the daughter of a small family. This matter has been in an uproar in Beijing as early as after the two families exchanged Geng posts.
Many nobles of the family do not know what to do, and they have secretly inquired about the reason for this matter. Therefore, the idea of the Qin family's lesbian East Palace has long become an unannounced secret in Chang'an City.
The Prince's Hall was also reprimanded by the saint once because of this. Fortunately, Chen Jue had already planned it, and the two of them secretly planned once, but it also made the matter go away. However, the Prince's Palace was still dissatisfied with Ning Guofu because of this matter, thinking that Jia Zhen acted rashly and was useless.
As soon as the tone of the prince's palace leaked, everyone in Chang'an City was laughing at the Jia family in Ningfu for stealing chickens and rice. However, the two families have already exchanged Geng Ti and decided to marry each other, and the wood has been completed, and the Jia family cannot afford to regret it. This family business has to be held as scheduled.
