Chapter 219: Important House Rules
The Bai family in the Tian family naturally comforted the third sister Chen Yuanfang. Back at home, the Bai family was very afraid, and hurriedly called Chen Wenhui to his room and asked: "Your eldest brother and second brother are also away all the year round, have you heard the news, have they been concubines outside, the outer room and other things?" ”
Chen Wenhui said inexplicably: "Where are my eldest brother and second brother like that, besides, my two sisters-in-law follow my brothers, and they are not like the third aunt, who keeps her daughter-in-law by her side and makes her son take concubines outside." Now you know that you regret it, right? It's a pity that there is everything in this world, but there is no regret medicine for sale. ”
Bai said, "Don't divert from the topic. Your sisters-in-law are following your brothers. But your eldest brother stays in the Wa Kingdom all the year round, and your sister-in-law is in Xinguang City. Your second sister-in-law is sitting in Tianshui City, your eldest brother is looking at his three cities, and he has to show you three cities, isn't it full of runs? There is also the war against the island of Java, and your second brother has been gone for a few months, and there are no in the middle of it? Don't hide it from your sisters-in-law for fear that I will be angry. This is a big deal, the root cause of the chaos, can't you hide it? ”
Chen Wenhui said helplessly: "Mother, your imagination is too rich. My two older brothers are different from the average boy. Which of the officials and nobles of Dachu is not three wives and four concubines? But isn't there a father like this? I still remember that in the past, my grandmother specially brought a few maids for my father to make a house, but I was not also taken away or sold by my father. Anyway, I found a reason to get rid of it. Now my brothers are clean like my father. My sisters-in-law are happy with that. You see, in Nanyang, the second brother is by my side. I know everything he does. A few cousins, all of them are concubines, all of them are from any country, what Silla maids, Goryeo women, Japanese girls, and even those black indigenous women, it's really a shame that they can talk about it? However, what about my second brother, that's called a clean body. My second sister-in-law is also strict in this regard. The sister-in-law also thought about giving the maid to the eldest brother as a room or a concubine. The second sister-in-law directly told her dowry maids that she would be the second sister-in-law's housekeeper in the future. The maid is not allowed to climb the bed, and once found, it must be severely punished. ”
Bai Shi said with a smile on his face: "You little monkey dare to say anything." Where did you arrange your cousin like that? And also. A girl's house. hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, and everything can run out of his mouth, which point is like a big family? I'll tell you. You ask your people in Nanyang to pay a little more attention. If you find any clues, you must report it to me in time. If your brothers are tempted, don't want your sisters-in-law to come forward, for fear of ruining the relationship between husband and wife, I will directly come forward to get that cheap woman away, and your brothers don't dare to complain about me when they think about it. The root cause of such chaos must not be allowed to happen. Extinguished in time. ”
Chen Wenhui hugged her mother's arm and said with a smile: "A good mother-in-law like my mother can't find a second one." Sisters-in-law are truly blessed. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on my brothers. ”
Bai said: "You are young, you have a good relationship with your two brothers, and it is easy to turn to them. I don't understand the stakes. These cheap women are afraid of their master's bed for their own selfish interests, and once they enter the house, they begin to fight for the wind and be jealous, do not produce, lose the family, and suffer endlessly. How many big families have been defeated by this. I've seen a lot of it over the years. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I understand this truth. Mother, don't worry, my brothers don't dare. ”
The Bai family was still not at ease, it was really surprising to see it in the Tian family before. "You have to pay attention to that," she said. I'm going to write to your brothers right now and warn them first. If I already have such thoughts, I must extinguish them as soon as possible, otherwise, I will definitely use the family law. No matter how many cities they have become, my mother can still be impressed. ”
Chen Wenhui lit candles for her brothers in her heart.
Bai said, "Also, I want to write to your two sisters-in-law as well." Let them not deal with it themselves once they find the signs, so as not to offend your brothers. Your two sisters-in-law have good character and strong ability. But the family background is not as good as ours. It's easy to be suppressed by your brothers. I have to tell them, don't offend your brother, if there is anything, I will take care of it, and I will not make them suffer. ”
Chen Wenhui silently praised her mother, a good mother-in-law in China.
Bai Shi is a person who does what he says, and immediately began to write letters.
Chen Wenhui couldn't leave immediately, so she could only wait in the house. In the midst of boredom, Qingshuang came in. These people originally had a lot of things to do. But for Chen Wenhui's wedding, they all rushed over, originally thinking that they would go back to their respective posts after being hired. But it didn't take long to prepare Chen Wenhui's ceremony. They simply stayed behind to help with Bai's cooking. Wait until after the ceremony is over before going back. When it is time for Chen Wenhui's wedding, come over in advance.
Qingshuang smiled when she saw Chen Wenhui and asked, "Why is the girl sitting like this?" What about Madame? ”
Chen Wenhui was also very happy to see Qingshuang, she was very busy a few days ago, and she didn't bother to chat with Qingshuang, and today happened to be a good opportunity. Chen Wenhui said: "My mother wrote letters to my brothers in the back room. It will take a while to come over. My sister sits down for a while, and I want to talk to my sister. ”
Qingshuang watched Chen Wenhui grow up, and she has a deep affection for Chen Wenhui, especially the workshops she is responsible for in terms of spices, flavors, cosmetics, and skin care products are all established with the help of Chen Wenhui. Therefore, there is more contact with Chen Wenhui. It's just that in the past few years, Chen Wenhui is in Qingchun City, Qingshuang is in Yizhou Island, and the two of them have met less.
At this moment, when I heard Chen Wenhui say, I immediately sat down under Chen Wenhui, on a brocade stool, and said, "The girl has something to say." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I looked at my mother's account book, has your workshop on Yizhou Island now produced more than the workshop in Huzhou?" ”
Qingshuang said: "Yes, the main output in this area is now on Yizhou Island. Yizhou Island has a good climate, there are flowers all year round, and there are many varieties of fragrant flowers, which are more suitable for the development of spices, essences and skin care products workshops than Huzhou. By the way, girl, do you know which is the most profitable business right now? ”
Chen Wenhui asked, "Which one?" Come to think of it, it's definitely skincare. ”
Qingshuang said: "Skin care products are indeed more profitable than flavors and fragrances, after all, now there are more people who buy our patents, and there are more spices and flavor workshops." A few large spice merchants in Qingchun City are very famous. The yield is not less than ours at all. However, there are not many skincare products. So, we make more money in this area. Originally, soap is the most profitable, after all, this is not as expensive as skin care products, ordinary people can afford to buy it, and naturally sell more. However, later, we took out this patent and sold it, and there were more people making soap, and our workshop made less money. But our prices are a little higher. We don't make ordinary soap anymore, we specialize in making delicate soap and selling it to the aristocracy. And that's not even the most lucrative. ”
Chen Wenhui asked: "So what is the most profitable?" ”
Qingshuang hadn't answered yet, Bai Shi had already come out, and said, "Of course it's the sanitary napkin that woman uses." ”
Qingshuang hurriedly got up and saluted the Bai family. Bai Shi waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, what's wrong?" ”
Qingshuang asked for a few things, and Bai told her.
Chen Wenhui waited for them to finish before asking: "Didn't our sanitary napkin business also sell patents?" Why is this still so profitable? ”
Qingshuang said with a smile: "After our patent was sold, our brand has been launched, and we specialize in pure cotton or silk cotton sanitary napkins used by aristocrats, the price is high, but it is more profitable." ”
Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "Why is this?" ”
Qingshuang said: "I was also strange at first, but after I asked, I found out, where are ordinary women willing to buy such things and use them back?" It's all single-use. But the aristocracy is different, they used to use silk that costs more money than this. Now I use this, which is convenient and soft, and the price is lower. Naturally, I was willing to buy it. ”
Chen Wenhui understood, sighed and said: "Our people in Dachu are still too poor to even afford sanitary napkins. ”
Bai said: "This is natural, don't you see that those people, the poor family only have one piece of clothing? I can't even afford to wear clothes, how can I be willing to buy this? ”
Saying this, Chen Wenhui said: "Therefore, my manpower recruitment in Dachu is going very smoothly. By the way, Sister Qingshuang, do you have a child now? ”
Qingshuang said with a happy face: "I have a son." Although he is only a little over a year old, he is already very naughty. Can't take it out. ”
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Where is naughty, I think it's very good." Although he is small, he is very smart, and he will definitely become a disciple of the black family in the future. ”
Qingshuang said: "I can't say for sure. Even if you can't become a disciple of the Black Family, you can still do an errand in our family in the future. Anyway, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. ”
Bai said: "You people are all little rich women now. How much does each person have every month, about two or three thousand taels of silver, right? And your husband's, there are so many. The two of them add up to five or six thousand taels a year, how much can it cost, not to mention, Qingshuang manages the workshop every year, and there are dividends, the business has been getting better and better in recent years, and the dividends alone can have more than 10,000 taels of silver, right? Aren't they all kept for their sons in the future? Qingshuang, you have to work hard, with so much money, how can you do it with such a son? Look at Ziyu, they all already have three children, two daughters, and one son. You have been with Ziyu for so many years, you can't be worse than her. ”
Qingshuang smiled a little blushing.
Chen Wenhui also laughed, it seemed that Qingshuang's life was good. (To be continued......)
