Chapter 635 Xue Mei's Great Seal
Chapter 635 Xue Mei's Seal
Xue Chi had a problem with Yuan.
"Does Yuan still want to be a queen?" Xue Chi's perspective is often a little tricky.
Xue Mei: "Why did my brother ask that?"
"If Yuan's family still dreams of the Hou tribe, I will stay away from them." Xue Chi said.
Xue Mei couldn't help laughing.
It is quite an alternative idea to not want to use your marriage as a bargaining chip. You should know that marriage is a "favorable relationship between two surnames" in this era.
Simply put, it is for the benefit of two families, not for the preferences of two young people.
Xue Chi's idea is a bit naive and a bit lonely.
“…There are three ladies in the Yuan family, four ladies are eighteen years old, seventh ladies are thirteen years old, and eighth ladies are eleven years old, and none of them are married.
Miss Seven and Miss Eight are young, but you can see that they will definitely not be ugly in the future; Miss Fourth is Yuan Qin, a famous beauty with a high temperament, and she has been studying since childhood and knows the truth.
The Yuan family invited Mr. Chen Tingzhi as a private seat for Yuan Qin, and referred to the training method of Empress Dowager Qi of Liang, but they were very ambitious." Xue Mei said.
Xue Chi: "..."
In this way, he is going to be further away from Yuan.
No matter what the Yuan family intends to do, he has no intention of cooperating with Yuan.
Regardless of whether he is an emperor or not, he has to choose his wife himself.
Can you get what you want by forming cliques?
Xue Chi has figured out a lot over the years and tried his best to fight for it. The rest depends on the will of God. As for the path that the brothers are all taking, the emperor may not be effective in seeing it in his eyes.
If he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to use the imperial examination system that Xue Mei used in Liang State to suppress the wealthy families first - without taking action by himself, the poor officials he selected would help him.
Xue Mei talked with him and went back to her room.
A few days later, Xue Mei still chatted through Yuzhong and others and learned that the Baolong Money House in the city had opened.
"Master, this Baolong Money House is very interesting. It is used as mother-son money, and many large money houses in other places use its money. It borrows money, and the profit is particularly low." Yu Zhong said.
Xue Chi pondered: "Is it a gimmick?"
After saying that, he went to see Xue Mei.
But Xue Mei's brows stretched and a smile on her face.
"What's wrong?" Xue Chi's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, he guessed in his heart that this Baolong Money House would also have something to do with her, right?
It's impossible. Even if she makes some money, she won't be able to open a money house.
People who open money shops have extremely rich money.
"It's nothing, I just think Xiuzhu is coming back." Xue Mei smiled.
Xue Chi: "We talk about money shop, why did you think of Xiuzhu? Is this money shop related to you?"
"...Two things, brother. Why are you suspicious now?" Xue Mei smiled and turned around and left.
She asked Linbo and Zhaoying to clean up another room on the first floor, use the best quilt and bed curtains, and wait for Xiuzhu to come back.
Sure enough, on the second day after Baolong Money House opened, Xiuzhu arrived.
Xiuzhu only took a small bag.
The bag was opened and she wrapped a huge seal with two sets of old clothes.
"...Miss, I'm afraid of going wrong. Now that things are done, you can put them away." Xiu Zhu's expression showed a little relaxed.
She lost weight a little, and it was obvious that she was under a lot of pressure during this period.
When she returned to the eldest lady, she felt like a tired bird returning to her nest, and she felt much more relaxed.
Xue Mei picked up the seal, got up and went back to the room. In fact, she turned around and put it in the space, and then turned back to talk to Xiuzhu.
Xiuzhu also brought a small account book.
"This is my private account. I have done my best in the general account according to the instructions of the young lady." Xiuzhu said again, "Miss, don't let me take care of the money in the future.
I used to envy others for managing money, thinking that this is the most beautiful job in the world. Now I feel that nothing is harder than managing money, and my mind is always tense."
Kimpin, who was speaking, couldn't help laughing.
Xue Mei smiled and said, "Okay, I know you have worked hard. I have a gift for you."
Xiuzhu was overjoyed: "What gift?"
"I plan to open a cosmetic shop for you, and you will still do this in the future." Xue Mei said.
Xiuzhu's eyes suddenly shine.
All she learned from the little prince was the experience of doing business; the eldest lady asked her to temporarily manage "financial", and the accounts like flowing through her, and her spirit was under heavy pressure every day.
Xiuzhu was able to count at first, but later she became numb. She was too lazy to count how much she had handled, and she couldn't count it anyway.
She just stared at the accounts.
If there is a slight mistake, she will feel sorry for the trust of the young lady even if she commits suicide.
Now that I heard that she could do her old job again, Xiuzhu felt at ease and relaxed.
"Thank you, Miss!" Xiuzhu said.
Xue Mei said again: "Some day ago, we distilled anesthetics at the Divine Medical Pavilion, and then distilled perfume. Not to mention, it was quite successful.
But the production capacity is too low, and I only got less than one pound in total. Each bottle weighs five cents, and I used it myself, so I only filled less than twenty bottles."
Xiuzhu: "This is okay, it's fine. We don't just sell it. The powder made by benzoin is better than the ones of the little prince. It can support the shop by relying on it alone."
After arriving in Chu State, Xue Mei finally got benzoin.
The benzoin tree is a subtropical tree, and it is found in the Chu State. Xue Mei has made a lot of it and even made transactions with the locals to allow them to provide themselves with this resin for a long time.
This pure natural resin is the most commonly used raw material for powders. It has a strong smell and is better than pine resin. It is used in foundation and can not only provide a stable effect, but also make the face more appropriate on the foundation, and also has a shiny feeling to avoid false whitening.
She used pine resin instead of foundation in Liangguo and was a great success.
Xue Mei wants to return to the old business for Jinping.
Of course, she also needs to take out the advertising model of later generations. After all, people in this era are very simple and do not have this awareness.
"You can give it a name for the shop," Xue Mei said.
Xiuzhu: "Miss, please take it, you have knowledge."
Xue Chi who happened to pass by: "..."
The maid has some knowledge or not, but the lady must not.
Xue Mei grabbed the eldest brother and asked him to give Xiuzhu's shop a decent name.
Xue Chi: "The most powder shops on the street are the shopkeeper's surname, which is indecent. The powder and the head are also 'wearing', so it's better to call it 'Dai Jingge'."
Xue Mei felt very happy after hearing this. She was quite satisfied, so she asked Xiuzhu how she felt.
Xiuzhu also liked it very much: "The eldest young master is so powerful, he is smarter than us."
Xue Chi: "..."
He is not smarter than Xue Mei. Xiu Zhu's words sounded like he was scolding him, and he couldn't bear it.
Xue Mei took advantage of the situation and asked Xue Chi to write another plaque. She asked someone to copy it on the wooden board and hang it in the store.
As for the location of the store, Xue Mei has already chosen it.
There is a relatively prosperous street in Jiangcheng. The whole street sells rouge, water powder, gold, silver and jade. Next door is the famous brothel.
Brothels are similar to high-end clubs in later generations. They are all high-end shops opened around brothels. This is very different from the places of music and sex in later generations.
The shop that Xue Mei bought actually has something to do with the Gan family, but she just pretended to be deaf and dumb.
