The matter of making money is on the agenda, and Lu Mengqi has been studying what to do when he comes back from Lu Mansion.

Overheard Li Shizhan's conversation before, it seems that the incense shop and the art gallery are very promising recently, Lu Mengqi thought about it, he usually uses a lot of balm, and even buys new ones when he can't use them up, which should be a more suitable project for investment.

But Lu Mengqi didn't have a way to come up with the starting funds, and after thinking about it, there was no good solution, so it seemed that he could only start from scratch.

After thinking about this matter, Lu Mengqi called Li Rourou to discuss together, and in order to prevent being overheard, Lu Mengqi chose to be in a small pavilion that was not frequented by no one in Gu Mansion.

The construction of Gufu is extremely particular in feng shui, there is not only a pond at home, but even a small forest, and a small pavilion in the pond, which is boxy, which is very suitable for sitting in it and admiring the moon.

But the people in the Gu Mansion seem to be very busy, and no one comes over often, and there are very few female dependents, although the Gu Mansion is very large, there are especially many vacant rooms.

Lu Mengqi pulled Li Rourou, held fruit pastries and paper and pencils, sat in the pavilion, pretended to admire the moon, looked at the moon, and picked up the pen to write and draw on the paper.

"Meat, what do you think, how about we start with a stall?"

"Stalls? Miss, you have a noble status, and it is not good to be recognized. ”

"It's not me who goes, it's you who goes." Lu Mengqi raised her eyebrows at Li Rourou with a wicked smile.

"Why am I going? I'm going, who will take care of the eldest lady. ”

"Why are you going? Because I don't have the money to hire any more. What else. Lu Mengqi looked like he hated that iron could not become steel, Li Rourou was good everywhere, but his physical strength was not good, and he was unwilling to do too tired work.

"Oh," Li Rourou pouted, "Miss, you have a lot of money, you have saved in the past few years, and it must be no problem to hire a job in a shop." ”

"Isn't it that people can't find out that I'm rich, I have to hide, in case someone finds out, what should I do if I find out what I usually do." After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, she pretended to draw something on the paper again.

"What are you going to sell, Miss?"

"Sell soap!" Lu Mengqi looked happy, soap is simply a necessary skill for crossing.

"What is soap?" Li Rourou approached his young lady and was about to listen to the young lady's lecture, so he picked up the ink and pretended to study it.

"That's it, such a big piece, when you wash your clothes and wash your hands, you can rub it and you can wash it clean."

"Isn't that a bath bean?"

"Yes, that's the name, but the previous bath beans are not good-looking, and they are not easy to take, although they are very clean, but the fragrance is not enough. And it is easy to break, and the consumption is very large. ”

"We can improve it and sell it in a better shape." Lu Mengqi explained to Li Rourou. "The moon group is very beautiful, and there are patterns."

"That.. Miss, I don't know if I should say it..."Li Rourou was a little embarrassed.

"Say."

"The fragrance you said is not enough and easy to break, we use it, then.... For the rich and noble, the fragrance is sufficient, and it is not so easy to break, but our house is not easy to use too well, so we use some medium, not so good, but not so bad. ”

"Huh? You don't say it sooner. Lu Mengqi was a little disheartened.

"Meat, tomorrow, go buy something good, just buy a little~ Don't buy more, let me experience it." Lu Mengqi is still not too dead.

"Okay, then I'll buy it for you tomorrow, I heard that there is a shop that is very good, using spices from the Western Regions, and the color is also beautiful."

In the evening, Lu Mengqi returned to the bedroom and still saw the person sitting at the table, Gu Ruihan.

"Yuan Qing, look, this is the painting I drew for you, is it okay to give it to you." Lu Mengqi showed the picture he had just drawn in the pavilion to Gu Ruihan.

"Send me?" Gu Ruihan was a little puzzled, how to give a gift suddenly.

Lu Mengqi handed the painting to Gu Ruihan, "Yes, I'll send you!" To give! ”

When Gu Ruihan saw the painting, the doubts on his face became heavier, his brows were twisted, and his face was full of confusion and embarrassment.

"What is this....drawing?"

"Tonight's moon, look, the one below is the tree, this is the moon, how good the painting is!" Lu Mengqi praised herself again after reading it.

But it is really difficult for Gu Ruihan to tell from the cloud of black that it is the moon and the tree, it is nothing more than a cloud of black and a strip of black.

Lu Mengqi woke up the next day, Li Rourou had already bought the bath beans back, and everyone bought a box.

"Miss, these are the four best-selling bath beans, take a look." Li Rourou handed four boxes of bath beans to Lu Mengqi.

"How much? Is it expensive? We have to save a little, Gu Fu will give ten times a month. ”

"It's quite expensive, but I took it from your box, and the monthly rules of the Gu Mansion haven't been sent out yet."

"What!! I'm in the box! How much? These four boxes! ”

"Four taels of silver."

Lu Mengqi heard that the whole person was going to faint, and these four boxes cost four taels! Four taels!

"You know! How much money do you see? I can't even afford to spend it! You've bought four boxes! Four taels! ”

"There's no way, Miss, people only accept silver, not copper coins."

Lu Mengqi held her forehead, her face full of remorse, why did she have to do this, before she started, she lost two taels of silver.

"The four shops only accept cash, and sell them in batches, and they don't sell if they buy less, so I still let people buy them this morning."

"Forget it... It's an investment. I'm going to have to make it. It seems that the incense shop is really profitable, and the copper plate is not collected. ”

The monthly cases issued by Gu Fu and Lu Fu are all copper plates, because silver is more difficult to circulate, and it is more convenient to use copper plates when going out. Moreover, the production of silver is scarce, and it is relatively difficult to exchange, so Lu Mengqi does not have much silver.

Lu Mengqi opened these four boxes of bath beans, which were indeed different from what he usually used, the fragrance was more refreshing, it smelled better, the color was more gorgeous, and the beans were more round.

"It's a lot better than what we usually use." Lu Mengqi picked up one of them and pinched it, and it was not so easy to break.

I tried it with water again, and after washing, the fragrance on my hands lasted, much better than that of Lu Mansion, and much better than that of Gu Mansion.

"I don't think I've ever smelled this scent before." Lu Mengqi took one of them and sniffed it for Li Rourou.

"This is the spice of the Western Regions, I heard that it sells very well, and all the ladies and ladies are rushing to ask for it." Li Rourou sniffed, looked at the box, and answered Lu Mengqi's question.

"It's really different, the fragrance is very special."

"However, most of the things circulating on the market are still the same kind of things, and the production process is the same, but the spices are different and the colors are different." Lu Mengqi had a number in his heart.

"Okay, buy it, buy it, let's go, send it away." Lu Mengqi took four boxes of bath beans and gave them to the eldest lady, the second lady, the fourth lady and the seventh lady.

The eldest lady is Prime Minister Gu Cheng's wife and the housewife.

The second lady is in charge of finance, and the fourth lady is the most kind and intimate to Lu Mengqi among these ladies, and often sends people to send some fruit cakes and cloths.

The seventh lady is Gu Yuanqing's biological mother, and I heard that she gave birth to Gu Yuanqing before marrying her back and becoming the seventh lady.

After the things were delivered, Lu Mengqi pulled Li Rourou and began to prepare to make a big move, opening up an independent and free path for his wealth and freedom.

As a result, just when he was in high spirits, Lu Mengqi discovered the most serious problem.

I still have to continue to invest money to buy materials and tools!!

Lu Mengqi wants to make soap, which requires pig pancreas and trona, but she found that these things are really.... It's all so expensive!!!
