Chapter 187: Let's Partner

Xun Xue'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't hide it from my sister, the cost of this soap is very simple, and the most expensive materials are just those dried flowers sent from the palace." ”

"What?" When Wan Guifei heard this, she immediately smacked her tongue, she thought for a while and said, "The materials are so simple, it must be very difficult to make, right?" ”

At this time, Huang Shimei secretly gave Xun Xue'er a look on the side, Xun Xue'er was silent, and returned: "No, only my husband knows how to make this thing, we just use it." If my sister likes it, take it, anyway, we're going to play in Chang'an City every few days. ”

Concubine Wan was overjoyed, and said unceremoniously: "That palace, just these few pieces, have your sisters ever given it?" ”

The girls didn't immediately say that they were willing to take it, but showed a look of embarrassment, and finally said: "Since my sister likes it so much, let's use it for my sister first......"

The pitiful appearance of the women, seeing that Wan Guifei was embarrassed to take it, but she didn't want to return the things that had already arrived, so she took off four pieces of jewelry from her body, handed them to the four girls and said: "Sister only brought these with me when I went out of the palace, but they are all good things, sister don't dislike it, take it first, and when I get to the palace another day, I will give you a large cart of gold and silver jewelry!" ”

I didn't expect Concubine Wan to be so obsessed with this soap, and the girls were also amazed. At this time, Huang Shimei gave Xun Xue'er a look again, and Xun Xue'er smiled lightly: "Sister, in fact, we can make this soap ourselves, and we don't need my husband." As long as my sister wants, I can make hundreds of dollars a day......"

Huang Shimei breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xun Xue'er with admiration, and said in her heart that a man's woman is a heart-to-heart.

Wan Guifei immediately feigned anger, and quietly said: "You Xue'er, you dare to tease the palace, you should be beaten!" ”

"Sister spares her life, sister spares her life," Xun Xue'er dodged for a while, and explained: "Sister, my sister is playing a little joke, and I ask my sister to forgive." Actually, there's one more thing to discuss with my sister. ”

"Oh? What's the matter with my sister? Wan Guifei sat down again, since she knew that this soap was easy to make and very cheap, so it was difficult to get the skills. Xun Xue'er brought it up at this time, because she wanted to use it as a call.

Who knows, Xun Xue'er smiled at this time and said: "Sister, the affairs of our family are all Shimei's worries, there is one thing, please tell you about it, right?" ”

Wan Guifei shook her head and scolded with a smile: "I don't know what Xu Qing is capable of, he actually governed the four of you well, the housewife doesn't ask about family affairs, but a concubine is in charge of the east and west, and he still doesn't rebel, I really can't understand you." ”

Huang Shimei laughed when she heard this, and saluted: "Sister, you see that this soap is low in cost and easy to make, but the effect is very significant. There are countless noble ladies in this Chang'an City, I'm afraid that when I see this soap, I will definitely rush to buy it, right? Moreover, the price will be like my sister, willing to exchange gold and silver jewelry. ”

Wan Guifei understood what Huang Shimei meant, didn't she just want to make money with soap, but Wan Guifei asked: "Eh, sister, I see that the Xu family's industry has also done a lot." As for those facades of Pingkangfang, the immortal brew, I'm afraid it won't be less than 20,000 taels of net income a year, right? After all, the Xu family is also a rich and noble family, why do they still make money in a different way? ”

Huang Shimei chuckled and said, "Sister, we use this soap to make money, not in the man's house, but in our own money." ”

At this moment, Wan Guifei didn't understand, and only heard Huang Shimei say slowly: "Alas, this man makes money and women spend, it sounds like we women are blessed, but everyone knows it." This money is not well spent. ”

"Why is that?"

"If we spend too much, others will say that we are a loser, right? This rouge gouache, clothes and jewelry, one by one, have to ask for money, and if we spend less money, we are uncomfortable. Huang Shimei explained: "It's better for a few of us to take out a little private money, choose a better place, and set up a small factory." This soap is a profitable thing, just such a small piece, and some people are rushing to ask for a gold ingot in Chang'an City. ”

Wan Guifei's heart was moved, her lord of the harem seemed to have infinite scenery, but in the field, there was silver everywhere. In addition to the annual money, there is actually no income, if it is missing, you have to ask the emperor's inner treasury to ask, or find the foreign court to ask, but both places refuse to give money. Why? The cost of the harem is a bottomless pit, royal specifications, daily sales, if you want money, give money, don't half a year, the household book will give you a thin stomach.

But Huang Shimei proposed this plan, and she also saw the huge profits in it. Even if you don't make money, just use this soap to give it away, it can also be given as a valuable item, and you will save a huge amount of money. Moreover, Xun Xueer said that the four of them can make hundreds of yuan a day, and the soap factory can be made a little smaller, so as to become secretive. But Concubine Wan was a feudal woman after all, she was still a little timid, she asked, "Is this appropriate?" ”

"Why is it not appropriate, is it wrong to run a family?" Huang Shimei said sarcastically: "Sister think, let's not go to the street to sell, but find a few noble ladies, let's sit together and chat and drink tea, and then sell this thing." We don't expand the money we earn, we don't use it indiscriminately, but we can save some of it. ”

All the women nodded, and Huang Shimei continued: "Sister, you are a noble concubine, although the concubine does not interfere in the political affairs of foreign courts, but if my sister does well, maybe the emperor can rely on my sister more......"

"How?" Wan Guifei's eyes showed a trace of ambition that had been hidden for many years, he was Li Yuan's concubine before he became emperor, and the concubine with the highest status after becoming emperor, but even if he was a concubine, he couldn't escape the status of a concubine. No matter how deep she hides, she can't deceive herself, that is, to be a wife before her death - that is, the queen!

It's a pity that she has a bad background, and her mother's family is not a family, so she can't be the mother of the country, and can only be the master of the harem. However, if you can help Li Yuan in government affairs, then maybe you can really go further. It's just that it's really taboo for this harem to interfere in politics, and if you don't get it right, you're waiting for yourself in the abyss.

Huang Shimei lowered her voice and said: "The current imperial court, using soldiers everywhere, no longer uses money all the time, there is always a time every year when there is a shortage of money, so the emperor takes the lead in reducing the degree every time, and the imperial history of the foreign dynasty is also clamoring to cut the use of the harem." If, at that time this year, the concubine Niangniang could come up with a sum of money, she would say that it would be saved for the imperial court, which would solve the urgent need of the imperial court...... Sister! ”

"When the time comes, what will the emperor think of his sister? What will the civil and military officials of the imperial court think of their sister? How will the people of the world praise the virtues of their sister? ”

Concubine Wan was surprised, if this was the case, she couldn't imagine it. Although she has no mother of the country, she worries about the affairs of the people in the world, so she is worthy of the queen, right?
