The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81 Soap Sold Out
At noon the next day, in front of the British government residence, the old lady saw that her daughter had found a comfortable carriage for her honor and said with a smile:
"Chu'er, why is the carriage you prepared for mother so ugly?"

"Mother, it's all that bad boy. My daughter has already scolded him. He deliberately made a good car look like this, and he even quibbles about calling it a low-key luxury. You'll know when you sit in it." .”

"Oh! It's interesting. As a mother, just listen to my daughter and try to sit and see how low-key and luxurious it is."

"Mom, the carriage is big, so you can let the aunts and girls come and sit together."

Soon the seven distinguished ladies met, and they finally understood a new vocabulary, low-key luxury.

After thirty miles of driving, they learned a new vocabulary—sedan, as the name suggests, is a carriage as comfortable as a sedan chair. No, the description is not accurate enough, it should be more comfortable than sitting in a sedan chair.

Along the way, several elders praised Chu'er for his filial piety. They all said that they used to travel sixty miles for incense, and they were exhausted. Today, thanks to Chu'er's blessing, it is as comfortable as sitting on the couch at home.

While Chu'er was proud, the face of that bad guy, money fanatic and philistine kept popping up in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing when she always thought of what he said.

Huang Sheng was still busy, he was rehearsing the program anyway, so he simply took Bai Mudan and Bai Furong to rehearse the finale program for the occasion to make it unforgettable tonight.

I, He Xiang, Bai Mudan, and Bai Furong led the singing, and [-] little girls who bought cardamom years sang in a chorus. They were going to show off after the oiran competition was over, and it was also a visit to the capital to have fun.

After the lineup was lined up, Bai Mudan and the others started crying, and Bai Saixue, who came to watch the excitement, was dumbfounded, and said, "Master, if you do this, the Bai Mudan sisters will soon become famous all over the world." !"

Huang Sheng said modestly: "Mom won the award, how can it be so easy to become famous in one fell swoop, it's just a little song, just to cheer everyone up."

Bai Saixue said: "Master, you are too humble. Even if you use this song to win the oiran prize, you have a good chance of winning! Don't you know that there are countless candidates from all over the country during the competition. Of course, they will sing the lyrics and melody in the Ming Dynasty. to spread."

Huang Sheng said: "Mom, don't worry, we will still be called 'Yi Chun Yuan' when we appear on stage."

Bai Saixue was overwhelmed with excitement and said: "Young master, I thank you for your love. Such a good song will definitely become popular in Ming Dynasty. Thank you, young master, for making it perfect."

She really remembers Wu Nei, "Yi Chun Yard" will be crowned with two songs this time, and of course she has a bright face, and there will definitely be a large number of patrons coming here in the future.

As a matter of course, her family's business is booming, and the price of her daughter will skyrocket.

She is a fine person, seeing how extraordinary this talent is in casually playing, she thought that she could make Huang Sheng keep a few more songs, and serve her more attentively in the days to come.

Chu'er reluctantly returned the four-wheeled carriage, hesitated to speak, and finally held back and was not ashamed to speak.

Unexpectedly, the little grandpa sent someone to borrow a car right away. He wanted to go to Fengtai with a few young masters to do business. He heard about the car, how low-key and luxurious it was, and wanted to drive something foreign.

Of course, not only the loan, but also let the British government send four coachmen to lead eight white and docile draft horses to harness the carts.Huang Sheng told Wu Qiang and Zhu Rongguo, two coachmen, to teach the people sent by the British government.

In the evening, Zhang Zhiji entertained guests and sent a four-wheeled carriage drawn by four white horses to take Huang Sheng to the banquet.

Of course, he also brought the He family brothers to the Ziyun Pavilion, the best restaurant in the capital. Just as he was seated, the little father-in-law praised Huang Sheng's carriage. He told Huang Sheng that he went to Fengtai today and was not tired at all. I'm still in high spirits, and I have to find an upright official to have fun at night.

Those who are sitting here are all the dandies in the capital, and they are all the sons of honorable nobles.Huang Sheng kept a low profile and remembered these people one by one.Of course, we still drink, play and tell stories until midnight.

Back at He's house, Qiaozhen happily told Huang Sheng, "My lord, the slaves have already sold more than a dozen gift boxes of soap this evening. The people in the capital are really rich! It's 30 taels of silver, and there is no counter-offer."

"Do you know who bought it?"

"Several red cards from 'Yi Chun Yard' have contacts with sisters and children from other yards. Today, a few red cards came to visit. After listening to Ru Yan and Ru Meng talking about soap, each of them bought one or two and prepared to go back. Use it to see."

"Purchase restrictions will start tomorrow. You have to tell the buyer that this thing was finally obtained. Gifts from the capital to adults cannot be sold randomly. You can only give one, otherwise you will not be able to explain it."

"Well, I understand, this thing is so easy to sell. Let's try to sell as many people as possible, so that more people will know that soap is a good thing." Qiaozhen and Laifeng have learned a little bit about business operations through the comprehension of these days. .

The soap was sold out in just two days, and the last few gift boxes were bought by Ms. Chu'er, but she still felt that there were too few and not enough. Too many girlfriends asked her to buy soap gift boxes, and she couldn't favor one over another.

But Huang Sheng really didn't have it this time, Chu'er didn't believe him at all, and took his servants to search the carriage and Bai Mudan's room, but still found nothing, and burst into tears.

The princess disease happened again, and Huang Sheng was forced to conjure it up. This time, he was really helpless, and he couldn't do it. Moreover, he didn't know if Huang Mingli and the others would bring the soap produced this month when they sent the carriage.

There was no way to coax the child, so Huang Sheng had no choice but to tell a ghost story from Liaozhai, which scared her away.

With money to do things easily, Huang Sheng asked Qiaozhen and Laifeng to find He Kegui, the housekeeper of the He family's capital house, to help him build a large yard near Handkerchief Alley.

Unexpectedly, the brothers of the He family found Huang Sheng immediately after hearing the situation from the housekeeper He Bo, and politely gave him a title deed for a house.

This is a dead pawn in their pawnshop. The pawnbroker got 300 taels of silver at that time, and pledged to the pawnshop a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits not far from He's house.

In this way, there are more than 1000 houses with a large garden yard. If you find a buyer, it should be around [-] taels of silver. This shows that pawnshops are also a profitable business, and they should belong to the existence of cannibalism.

Huang Sheng is a rich man now, so how can he always take advantage of the He family?

The brothers of the He family told Huang Sheng with a smile that the cost of the house is 300 taels, you don't care about the market price, my family earns twice as much as 600 taels.

Seeing that this is reasonable, legal and not pretentious, Huang Sheng immediately asks He Xiang to give the bank note, and finally has his own place in the capital.

Unexpectedly, at night, Qiaozhen handed over 600 taels of silver bills to He Xiang, and He Xiang knew that they were the ones she bought for the house during the day.

It turned out that Mr. He found Qiaozhen and told her that the twenty soap gift boxes given a few days ago had not been settled, and today he specially remembered to bring the bank notes.

Qiaozhen knew that those things were for Mr. He's family, so she would not want them, but the two Mrs. couldn't help talking, threw down the bank notes and left.

Huang Sheng saw that Mr. He's family was like this, and he felt at peace with such trivial matters as not being entangled.Arrange for Qiaozhen to find someone to clean up the place and move out in ten days.
