Chapter 178
Break Up
The oil paper umbrella is very beautiful.
Not to mention that ancient people had never seen anything good, even in later generations and space ages, there were all kinds of strange things, and oil paper umbrellas also conquered the world with their own beauty.
When it was first released, Xiao Mingyu was amazed by it, so Mrs. Wen naturally could not avoid the vulgarity.
Her yard is full of maids and mothers, who can resist the temptation of oil-paper umbrellas?
"Get closer, I'll take a look." said Old Mrs. Wen.
Xue Mei asked Jinping to step forward a few steps.
The maids came up to take a look.
Old Mrs. Wen touched the umbrella surface, and her tentacles were a little hard: "What's this?"
"I can't tell you for the time being." Xue Mei smiled, "Anyway, it's a good thing. Good looking is just one of them. Its biggest function is waterproofing and corrosion-proofing."
"water proof?"
"Yes, so you can use it as a rain gear to hold it up on rainy days." Xue Mei smiled.
She asked the maids to bring the water.
The maid was very anxious and couldn't wait to see what was going on, so she went to bring the water in.
Xue Mei asked everyone to move to the yard, put the umbrella on the ground, and then poured water on it.
Soon, the water fell down the umbrella drop by drop.
Everyone was amazed again.
"Really waterproof." A maid said.
Xue Mei: "It's not fancy, and it doesn't work if you use it once. There's a water tank in the yard. I put this oil paper umbrella in and you will take it out again. It's still the same and won't break any of it."
After saying that, she put it away and put it into the big jar.
The water tank in the old lady's yard is mostly used to store water, and may also be used to prevent fires.
There are two walls in Xue Mei's yard. Every day, the maids who use rough clothes have to change the water, carry the water and pour it in.
Put the umbrella in the water tank and another one in Xiuzhu's hand, and Xue Mei asked Xiuzhu to open it too.
"This is a light green one." Xue Mei smiled.
The light green umbrella painted with bamboo branches and magpies, and it is beautiful to spread.
Everyone was amazed.
But the old lady had a bad premonition.
"What do you think of this umbrella?" Xue Mei asked her.
The old lady smiled and said, "Of course, they are all good things, good-looking, practical and novel..."
"Once it is launched, it will definitely be sold well. I can provide the source of this umbrella to the Wen family." Xue Mei said.
Old lady: "Of course it's the best."
"But, I have a request."
"you say."
Xue Mei did not say anything, but looked around.
The old lady knew it and said to the people who served the room: "You all go out."
When everyone came out in a row, only Xue Mei and the old lady were left in the room, Xue Mei then spoke softly: "Old lady, the Wen family treats me well, you are also my respected elder.
I have no contempt for you and the Wen family. I have considered this for a long time, not for a moment of impulse. Wen Zhao is handsome and extraordinary, and I am ordinary in appearance and I am not worthy of him."
The old lady's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, it was the worst result she expected.
"...This is a divorce letter and 50,000 taels of silver notes. I returned the betrothal gift. Wen Zhao did nothing wrong. I can't let the Wen family down, nor can I let you down, so I prepared two compensations.
The first compensation is the oil paper umbrella business. This is done by Prince Ancheng and I. It will definitely be popular in the future. Every day, the goods will be in the hands of the Prince, and you will not get them. But I spoke, and the Prince agreed to share the profits for you.
The second compensation is that the Wen family can tell the public that Wen Zhao wants to retire from the marriage, and he doesn't want me anymore, so he can preserve his reputation.
You just say that when I got married, the Marquis’s house gave me the wrong birth date and horoscope. Now I know the real one, and I found that Wen Zhao’s horoscope and horoscope were incompatible, so Wen Zhao wanted to quit the marriage.”
After so many years of engagement, I suddenly wanted to break off the engagement and said that the Marquis's family concealed the eight characters, and then the eight characters were incompatible, which was a decent reason.
Of course, it’s up to everyone to guess at a deeper level.
Xue Mei will definitely be affected.
The man is different from a woman, and Xue Mei faces great pressure when she retires from kissing.
She said this with great sincerity.
When Mrs. Wen saw that she was willing to make a fortune and destroyed her reputation, she knew that there was no room for this matter to turn around.
Xue Mei has considered all aspects.
Old Mrs. Wen can support Pang Dafa, but she is not a vulgar person.
"Mei'er, I just can't bear to leave you." Old Mrs. Wen said, "Since the marriage, I have liked you as a child very much.
At first, I knew at first glance that you were steady, kind, a little timid but not paranoid. Later, you changed a little and had a lot of opinions, but after all, you were willing to suffer losses.
Others may suspect that you dislike Zhao'er for the sake of title. I know that you are not of this kind of personality. To be honest, Zhao'er is really not worthy of you."
"It's not that I'm worthy or not, but not." Xue Mei smiled, "My character and I are completely different from each other. I'm also a pair of resentful couples. They are not good to him or me."
The old lady sighed.
"I have accepted the things, and the Wen family will go to the government to remove the documents." The old lady said, "I have also suffered your kindness."
Anyway, we are going to quit the bride, so we will not owe each other any more business.
Xue Mei apologized again.
There was no entanglement, no questioning, and no tragic card. Everything went smoothly beyond Xue Mei's imagination, and Xue Mei was very moved.
The old lady is really a character.
Two oil-paper umbrellas were given to the Wen family, and Xue Mei asked the shopkeeper of the Wen family to contact Xue Qing. How much goods the Wen family needs can be discussed with Xue Qing.
This matter was also approved by Xue Mei by Prince Ancheng.
The little prince said that this business could not be done without Xue Mei, so he agreed to let Xue Mei take advantage.
Leaving from the Wen family, Xue Mei went back to Yongning Marquis' Mansion directly.
On the evening, the old lady of the Wen family called her sons and daughter-in-law to her.
She took out the oil paper umbrella and showed them.
"...I soaked in the water tank for four hours, but the bamboo pole did not deform, let alone this paper." said the old lady.
She has five sons, and Wen Zhao's father is the eldest.
When the family is doing business, all of my sons are businessmen.
"Bamboo slices are soaked in water and will not deform? This is very strange. What should I use?"
"What is this? It cannot be paper, silk, and it is not like shells. It is so light and translucent, so magical."
The men studied it for a while but still couldn't see how they did it.
The wives all straightened their eyes: "It's so beautiful."
"When you go out on rainy days, you no longer have to bring an ugly hat."
“Summer can also shade the sun.”
"Is this from outside? Is it the Western Regions or overseas?"
The old lady was shocked when she saw them and said truthfully: "This was sent by the Lord of Chengyang County. It was a business she and Prince Ancheng, and they made it themselves."
Everyone was in agitation.
The Lord of Chengyang County is their prospective daughter-in-law, which means, can they get a share of the pie?
"Mom, this thing is easy to sell and the price is also high. Besides, this thing is like a wooden clog. It needs to be used when it rains, and it has to be bought again if it breaks." said the master, "This is a good opportunity to make money."
"Do our Wen family want this opportunity?" the old lady asked them.
Everyone spoke in unison.
It must be necessary.
"Okay, I have something to tell you: the condition for the supply of the county lord Chengyang to us is that we agree that she and Zhao'er terminate the engagement. This is her divorce letter and the 50,000 taels of silver notes for the betrothal gift." The old lady said.
Everyone: "..."
