My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 293 Soap
In a small living room in Beijing Hanwang Mansion, Sun Ruowei sat in the main seat with a calm expression.

A female steward stood in the hall with a flattering face, bowed to Sun Ruowei and said, "Hello, Miss Sun, my wife sent me to bring you some gifts, and I would like to talk to you about the soap business by the way."

"Madam Ning is so polite, what gift do you give for such a trivial matter?"

Sun Ruowei smiled enthusiastically.

Mrs. Ning is the daughter-in-law of Princess Baoqing. Princess Baoqing is the sister of His Majesty's compatriots, so she is also very favored. Mrs. Ning is also very popular among noble ladies. Also quite useful.

The female steward sent by Mrs. Ning was also very talkative, and she flattered Sun Ruowei a few more times before saying again: "Miss Sun, I don't know when the soap we negotiated before will be delivered. Our wife has been looking forward to this thing."

"This one……"

Hearing about the soap, Sun Ruowei, who was smiling just now, showed a look of embarrassment at this moment, and then opened his mouth after a while.

"At the time Madam Ning spoke up in person, and I also promised to deliver 1 yuan of soap tomorrow. I was ready for it, but when things came to an end, another accident happened."

"Accident? Could it be that our goods cannot be delivered on time?"

The stewardess also showed anxiety when she heard the words.

Since the last royal concubine’s birthday banquet, Princess Han offered perfume and soap as birthday presents. Not to mention perfume, every lady in the capital wants to have a bottle, but perfume is too precious. Another bottle was sold.

However, soap has started to be sold outside, because Sun Ruowei was the first to build a soap workshop. After all, compared with perfume, soap has a wider range of applications and greater sales.

The noble ladies of various families have seen the efficacy of soap at the birthday banquet, so as soon as the soap appeared, it immediately triggered countless people's mad rush, and some smart ladies began to place large orders to the workshop. Instead of selling them in the capital, they use the channels in their hands to transport them to other cities for sale, so that they can also make a fortune.

It's just that the soap workshop's output is limited, so the output in the workshop can't keep up with the sales at all, so all parties try their best to get the relationship with Sun Ruowei, so that they can get the goods they need faster.

Facing the female steward's inquiry, Sun Ruowei hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Let me tell you the truth, your goods have already been prepared, but yesterday, Concubine Guo came to me personally and asked to supply them first." Zhang family's goods, you also know that I have to listen to what Concubine Guo said, so..."

Sun Ruowei waved her hands helplessly at the end.

In the palace of the King of Han, besides the concubine of Han, side concubine Guo has the highest status. Since the other party has spoken, Sun Ruowei must have no way to refuse.

The stewardess was also unhappy when she heard that her goods had been intercepted by the Guo family, but there was no way, the Guo family had a stronger relationship than them, and she could only admit that she was unlucky if she was robbed.

"However, Mrs. Ning and I hit it off right away, and we had a good chat last time, so Concubine Guo and I talked about it and finally left you 3000 yuan. Why don't you take this batch of goods first, and after seven days, I will send them back to you." How about making up for the rest of the goods?"

Sun Ruowei suddenly spoke again.

Mrs. Ning represents Princess Baoqing, and she is also not easy to offend, so Sun Ruowei deliberately left a batch of goods for the other party.

"That's great, we have Miss Laosun!"

The stewardess immediately rejoiced when she heard that, although more than half of the goods had been intercepted, it was quite benevolent for someone to keep a batch for herself, so the stewardess couldn't find reason.

Faced with the female steward's thanks, Sun Ruo smiled politely, and then sent the other party away.

When leaving, Sun Ruowei told the female steward again: "Please also tell Mrs. Ning that the goods are a few days late this time. It is my fault first, but the next batch of goods must be delivered to Mrs. Ning first!"

"Thank you, Miss Sun, no wonder my wife has been praising you since she met you last time, saying that she wants to recognize you as her sister!"

The female steward said happily again after hearing the words, and then left with a smile.

After watching the stewardess leave, Sun Ruowei let out a sigh of relief, and the faint smile on her face disappeared immediately, showing a bit of fatigue. Although she seemed to be able to cope with it, it was actually quite exhausting.

Especially during this period of time, because of the matter of the soap workshop, various companies, no matter whether they have any relationship or not, came to the door to buy, and she felt a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Hey, what's wrong with our shopkeeper Sun Da, tired?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly walked over from the side, seeing the expression on Sun Ruowei's face, he couldn't help laughing.

He just came back from the bank and saw Sun Ruowei standing here, so he walked over.

"My lord, I regret it. I knew that managing a workshop would be so tiring. I shouldn't have taken on this job in the first place!"

Sun Ruowei rushed forward, hugged Zhu Zhanhe's arm and said coquettishly, don't forget, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year.

"Since you're so tired, why don't you just stop doing it and hand over the workshop to someone else. I remember that Ma An was always thinking about the soap workshop!"

Zhu Zhanhe said deliberately.

"no!"

Sun Ruowei really duplicity, refused without hesitation.

"It was with great difficulty that I set up the workshop, and now it seems to be on the right track, how could I hand it over to someone else?"

"Haha, since you don't want to let go, you can only hold on!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and said, he knew that Sun Ruowei was reluctant.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ruowei rolled his eyes at this moment, and suddenly said happily: "Actually, it is okay to hand over the workshop to Ma An, but you have to let him exchange it with me from the bank. From now on, the workshop will belong to him, and the bank will belong to me!"

"Your little abacus is too loud!"

Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Sun Ruowei in surprise, he didn't expect that this girl was young, but she was ambitious, and she even set her mind on the bank.

You must know that although the business of the soap workshop is booming, it is still far behind the bank. Among other things, the daily turnover of the bank is higher than the annual income of the soap workshop. There is no comparison between the two.

"My lord, although the soap smells good, the ingredients used are oil and lime. It smells terrible. My daughter's family is covered with the unpleasant smell of these things."

Sun Ruowei casually found an excuse.

"The bank is full of copper stench. If your daughter's house goes to the bank, there will be more stench, so you should manage your workshop honestly!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed again.

The bank must not be handed over to Sun Ruowei. After all, it is half a yamen. Although Daming has female officials, they all work in the palace. No woman has ever been able to be an official in an outside yamen.

While Zhu Zhanhe and Sun Ruowei were talking, suddenly a servant rushed to report: "My son, Duke Cheng and Duke Ding are here to visit!"
