One is greedy for Cheng Mingyi, and the other needs the support of one party.

If the prince of Zhou is not greedy for Mingyi, Cheng Yuanxi can be content with the status quo, the problem is that the prince of Zhou is bound to win Mingyi, and he, a father, cannot sit idly by.

"We have eight years to plan, and if you want to fight for the right to live and live, you have set your mind on a goal; Don't go out with us to sell soap, study in peace. Cheng Dazhu said earnestly.

Cheng Yuanxi said: "Dad, I am not a young man back then, so I can't enjoy the family's offerings with peace of mind." ”

Books must be read, imperial examinations must be examined, and silver must be earned.

"I don't think you can carry it as well as when you were young." Mocking and helpless, "That's it, you can do it yourself." ”

Cheng Yuanxi knew the meaning of his father's words, but as a man, he also had the dignity of a man.

A handful of old people, let others give him a wife and children, he can't do it; He doesn't have the face to do this, his family is willing, and he doesn't have this face.

In life, some things can be compromised, and some cannot.

Once compromised, the bottom line in the heart will be lowered, and at the same time, the confidence at home will be reduced; Once there are disagreements and contradictions, all the compromises made today will become an excuse for others to attack their family.

"Your son understands your intentions, but he can't do that; The eldest brother and the second brother have a wife and children, and the eldest two should soon have children, and the eldest brother and the second brother will have grandchildren, and their burden will not be light. ”

"Mingli has already taken up the family's resources, and I will take another share, it's not like that; When the grandchildren of the eldest brother and the second brother's family are born, if they are willing to go to a private school and send them, they have to let each family come out with a scholar. ”

When and where is the best way to strike a balance.

Like Cheng Dazhu, his best balance is to let the three grandchildren have a good person; A family with only one room, or one person, will not work.

"As much as you want." Cheng Dazhu sighed with emotion and put it down.

He understood very well that what the third child said was right; If conditions permit, it is definitely necessary to put resources in place from all parties, and as for whether there can be a way out, it is a matter for each house and grandson.

Cheng Yuanxi has one more goal, and he is getting more and more energetic to make molds; Make more molds and make more money, the future road is too unknown, and the money is currently in your hands.

Cheng Mingli followed his sister into Canghai Garden, followed her to the pavilion, and saw the small stove and pot, as well as the mold, and the unused soap materials.

"Sister, do you want to continue making soap?"

"Done." Mingyi opened her mouth, and Cheng Mingli was next to her to help her do it.

Seeing that the soap liquid was about to be ready, Mingyi looked at his brother, "Brother, you go and see if the molds made by grandfather and father are ready, and if so, get me a few." ”

"It's only been a while, can you do it?" Cheng Mingli touched his head, and it had only been about a quarter of an hour since they came.

Mingyi didn't care so much, according to the craftsmanship of his grandfather and father, a quarter of an hour was enough to make a mold; The worst is that the workmanship is not fine, as long as it can be used.

"Go."

"Okay."

Cheng Mingli went to the kitchen full of suspicions, walked into the yard and asked, "Grandfather, father, has the mold that my sister wants made?" ”

"Yiyi asked you to come?" Cheng Dazhu raised his head with a smile on his old face.

"Yes." Cheng Mingli stepped forward and leaned over to the table to see that there were two long strip-shaped molds on it, as well as two round, two petal-shaped molds, "This is made?" ”

"It's going to have to be polished." Cheng Yuanxi said without raising his head, "Yiyi is in a hurry?" ”

Cheng Mingli shook his head, nodded again, and only said, "My sister asked me to get it." ”

"Then take it and use it first, there is a little frizz in the mold, and it will not affect the use." Cheng Dazhu picked it up and wiped the frizzy points in the four molds with a tool, which was barely usable.

After the liquid solidifies, the soap does not appear blemishes on the outside.

"Take it, let's make a few more, and let the instrument be used first." Cheng Dazhu handed him the processed mold.

Cheng Mingli hugged his hands and raised a smile, "Thank you, grandfather, that grandson left first." ”

"Let's go, let's go, if the mold is not enough, let's talk about it again."

Sending Cheng Mingli away, Cheng Dazhu shook his head and chuckled, the joy in his heart spreading, "Yiyi is going to make soap again so soon." ”

"Make it for the prince of Zhou and the princess of Zhou." Cheng Yuanxi's tone was light, the soap made for others, what is my father so happy to do.

"It is precisely because it is made for the prince of Zhou and the princess of Zhou that I am happy for my father." It shows that Yiyi listened to his words and took them to heart.

As long as Princess Zhou said in the aristocratic circle that they were good soap, their sales would be opened.

Only by opening up sales channels can they earn more; In order to pull out the other clansmen of the Cheng clan, so that his lineage and the Cheng clan can reach a balance point.

In other words, it's a balancing act.

Cheng Yuanxi bowed his head and was silent.

Cheng Dazhu didn't expect him to answer, and the father and son tacitly agreed to make the mold that Mingyi wanted first; Naturally, the more such molds are made, the better.

The birth of a new soap meant that a lot of silver beckoned to them.

These are not molds, they are the components of silver, all silver.

They are busy here, Canghaiyuan is also busy, with Cheng Mingli's help, the brother and sister poured the liquid into the newly made mold.

Mingyi walked around the yard casually, picking small grasses with wild shapes and distinctive leaves; When the liquid was cool, she put the grass and leaves in it.

Cheng Mingli witnessed the whole process, and the leaves and grass slowly precipitated, and when they reached the half-center, they no longer sank.

The new mold is not big, just put a piece of grass or a leaf in a box.

He crouched in front of the mold, staring straight at the liquid solidifying little by little; After an hour, the liquid has completely cooled, the weather is cold, and it solidifies quickly, and if it is placed in summer, it takes two or three hours to completely solidify.

"Sister, it should be okay, right?" He reached out and poked, hard.

Mingyi raised her eyes and glanced at it, "Take one out and take a look." ”

"Okay."

Without Mingyi's hands, Cheng Mingli took the lead in taking a knife and walking around the shape of the mold; The whole soap was out of the mold, and when I poured it out, I saw that it was transparent, with leaves inside, and a little more green.

"It's beautiful!"

Holding the soap over your head looks even better in natural light.

"It's very beautiful, if there are precious flowers to decorate, our soap can be sold for a sky-high price." It's a pity that she didn't, she was reluctant to use it like this, and she couldn't take out fresh wildflowers anymore.

Tied up, it's what she's talking about now.

There has been no such restraint in many lifetimes, and it is strange that I am not used to coming here all of a sudden.

I've experienced a lot of worlds, and I'm used to it, but I suddenly feel weird when I encounter something.

Tomorrow may be interrupted, today there is only one change, happy new year, I wish you all a smooth and a thousand days, smooth wind and smooth water, long life, good life, good years, good times and good future!

Mingyi wishes the big guy a happy family, happy every day, always smiling, auspicious and happy in the Year of the Dragon, and everything goes well.
