The room fell silent before Xu finished her sentence.
Song Lin’s hand, which had been reaching out to quietly tug at Xu’s coat, also stopped in its place.
When Gu Wen was in labour, it was Song Wan Yue who saved her and told Xu when she returned. Xu thought that Gu Yi would definitely take Yue’er with her when the child turned one year old, so she bought this golden lock when she went to the county town and asked Yue to take it with her when the time came. When the Gu family had an accident, the gold lock was naturally not sent out, but when she was coming Xu didn’t know what to think, so she brought the gold lock with her.
“This gold lock is so pretty.”
Song Wan Yue broke the silence in the room.
The crowd echoed the good looks as if they had forgotten what they had just said.
Xiao Bao liked it even more, grabbing it in his hand and fiddling with it, loving it. The crowd teased him, causing Xiao Bao to protect the golden lock tightly in his arms and not let them look at it.
The crowd laughed and the depressing atmosphere in the room lifted.
Xu asked Gu Wen how she was doing, and she replied.
Half an hour later, Xiao Bao was a little sleepy and Kong Qing took him in his arms and said smoothly, “We should go back and come back to see Uncle and Auntie in a few days.”
“There’s no hurry, I happen to have something to tell you guys.”
After meeting the two that day, Song Wangyue had a plan and had been waiting for them to come to her door.
The two men looked at her.
“I’ve worked out a good thing, and I’m going to work with my uncle and grandfather to build a few workshops over here, and I’d like to ask second sister-in-law to help me.”
Kong Qing and Gu Wen looked at each other; after they had been trapped here, they had been preoccupied with how to get home and hadn’t done much business. Now that home was out of the question, it was time for them to think about making a living. Even if Gu Yi had left them so much silver, they couldn’t just sit around and eat.
Xu felt that this was a chance to repay the Gu family and immediately helped out, “Even though Yi’er is no longer here, we will always be a family, and it is considered our own business, so you should agree to it.”
Song Lin also echoed and nodded his head.
Kong Qing was naturally willing too, the Meng family was a big family in Jinling, climbing up with them, no matter what they did in the future, no one would dare to bully them.
But they were afraid that Yue’er was helping them for nothing for Gu Yi’s sake, and they couldn’t accept it that way.
“Can we take a look.”
“Of course you can.”
Song Wangyue led them to her courtyard to look at it. Only so much time had passed, and the soap was not yet fully formed, so it was impossible to see anything for a while.
Song Wangyue let the two into the house. The two of them were asked to sit down again and personally poured tea and explained to them the specific uses of the soap.
The more you listen, the more you think this is a big money-making deal.
“Why doesn’t Yue’er’s sister make it herself at home?”
It was a lucrative deal, the profits would be beyond anyone’s imagination, even the sale of pills could not compare.
Song Wan Yue smiled bitterly, “Has brother-in-law forgotten how one hundred and thirteen members of the Gu family died?”
Naturally he hadn’t forgotten, but this and ……
Kong Qing sat up straight, yes, the Gu family was targeted by the third prince because they had too much money, and only then did they have the scourge of extermination, if the Song family did such a money making business, it was inevitable that they would be targeted by other princes or officials.
The Meng family is different, the Meng family is far away from the capital, and the Meng family has numerous businesses, so this one more will not stick out.
“I’ll help you.” Kong Qing agreed.
Song Wangyue sent Qingzhu to call Meng Yang over.
Meng Yang had heard from the housekeeper that Mr. and Mrs. Gu Wen had come, so he was afraid that Song Wan Yue would be as sad as she had been a few days before, so he had sent for Meng Jiao and asked her to come over after Mr. and Mrs. Gu Wen had left to cheer Song Wan Yue up.
When she heard Song Wan Yue shouting at her, she immediately brought Meng Jiao over, and when she entered the door and saw that Song Wan Yue was not red-eyed, her worried heart fell slightly, and her eyes fell on the two of them.
Gu Wen is a small family type with pretty looks, while Kong Qing carries an air of a businessman with a clear vision.
Song Wangyue introduced the two sides, and Gu Wen and Kong Qing bowed at the same time, “Greetings, Master Meng.”
Meng Yang gave a false support, hearing Yue’s tone, she was close to the two, so he naturally lowered his attitude.
“Have a seat.”
Several people took their seats, and Meng Jiao followed suit.
“Here’s what I’m going to do, the three of us will cooperate in the soap business. I will provide the recipe, uncle grandfather will be responsible for the workshop and manpower, and second brother-in-law will be responsible for selling it outside the country.
“Okay.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“I want 10%, you can have the other 10%.”
He didn’t want to pay for the land, and Kong Qing felt that twenty percent was too much, in fact, ten percent was also too much, but if he said he didn’t want it, Yue’er would definitely not want it.
“If brother-in-law is too much money, then give the other 10% to second sister.”
Wasn’t that still the same? When Kong Qing was about to say something else, Gu Wen quietly patted his hand, she also understood that Yue’er was helping them, so when they got the money later, they could just buy more things for Yue’er.
After discussing the issue of sharing the money, they started to discuss the workshop again.
Meng Jiao was unable to intervene, so she quietly got up and went outside, stopping in front of a mould and quietly stretched out her finger to poke it, it was still a little soft and not completely dry.
She couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s with the sun today, why isn’t it hot at all?”
Qingzhu heard her clearly and secretly covered her mouth to laugh, the sun was so hot today that they had all changed into thin clothes, and only the young lady was in a hurry to use the soap, that’s why she didn’t feel hot.
“What are you laughing at?”
Meng Jiao waited for her with a glance.
Qingzhu immediately stopped laughing and spoke blindly in a serious manner, “Slave servant is thinking that Miss’s dress is really pretty today.”
Meng Jiao looked up and knocked her on the head, “Do you think your lady is stupid? If you dare to fool me again, you won’t be allowed to use the soap when it’s ready.”
“Miss, slave servant is wrong.”
“Too late.”
……
Meng Yang had complete trust in Song Wangyue, and he had no problem at all with her saying that she would build two workshops first.
“It’s still built on that farm, that farm is big enough to build ten or eight more workshops without a problem.”
Song Wangyue felt that it was inappropriate, “The soap business will be very visible and there will be many people watching the Meng family, so if the workshops are built together, it is inevitable that people will be watching.
Meng Yang immediately rejected his own suggestion, “You have a point, so I’ll have a few empty yards at home that are not in use, and I’ll have someone pack them up and turn them into workshops.”
Song Wangyue nodded and went to get a pen and paper to discuss what kind of workshop to build.
The discussion was not finished until noon, so Gu Wen and her family stayed at the Meng family’s house for lunch and continued the discussion.
The first thing that happened in the afternoon was that Meng Jiao rushed into the house with several pieces of soap, “The soap is ready to be used.”
