Chapter 10 Growing Up

Time slips away unnoticed.

Six years later.

"Third Brother, I heard that the people you sent to the West have returned after completing their studies. Is that true?" Wanwan asked excitedly.

“Little sister, you’re quite well-informed. You found out as soon as you got back,” Wanyan Alugang said.

“I have indeed learned something. I never imagined that making silver mirrors was not so difficult. From the West to the Qing Dynasty, it was clearly a very expensive item, yet it sold for an astronomical price,” Wanyan Alugang replied.

The two walked into the house while discussing the matter, intending to have a proper talk.

Wanwan asked, "Brother, should we produce in large quantities now, or make fewer and raise the price?"

In fact, Wanwan still wanted to produce in large quantities, since it could bring benefits to the people while also collecting a certain amount of merit points.

(Collecting merit points is actually about bringing convenience to the people and doing good deeds for them.)

But after all, it was his own brother who sent the person. Although he and his brother were business partners, he couldn't let his brother pay the price because of his own selfishness.

Wanyan Alugang asked, "Little sister, which method do you think is better?"

After thinking for a moment, Wanwan said, "How about we make a small batch first, focusing on making money? Once the production technology is more advanced, we can mass-produce them to make things easier for the people. That would be doing a good deed for them."

Wanyan Alu thought to himself, "That's fine too. I'll arrange it with your third brother tomorrow."

"Let's think about how to do this and where to build the factory?"

Alright, Third Brother, have some tea. Let's discuss this over tea.

...

“Okay, let’s do it that way,” Wanyan Arogang said.

next day

Wanyan Alu came to find Wanwan, but to his surprise, Wanwan was still in bed. "Little sister, why don't you change this habit? The sun is high in the sky, why aren't you up? What will you do when you get married?"

Wanyan Alugang waited outside for his younger sister while complaining.

Now everyone in the Wanyan family knows that their daughter/sister won't get up until the sun is high in the sky, of course, this only refers to situations where there's nothing to do.

Although my younger sister has been learning arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and other refined pursuits like perfumery and tea tasting over the past few years, she has one bad habit: she is too greedy and too lazy.

It's rare to see my younger sister get up early in the morning unless there's something going on.

"Okay, okay, brother, stop complaining. I'll get it ready right away."

Wanwan came out wearing a light green dress. Because the Qitou hairstyle was difficult to comb and not very comfortable, Wanwan usually wore the hairstyle of a Han Chinese young lady before marriage when she was at home.

Upon seeing this, Wanyan Alugang sighed, "I wonder which lucky lad will get to marry such a beautiful woman like my sister. He's really lucky to have gotten to marry her."

"Alright, bro, let's go. Let's go see if the factory is suitable? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

The factory site had already been chosen when Wanyan Alu had just sent people to the West. Today, the main purpose is to check if their production is going smoothly.

After Wanwan left the mansion at the age of ten, she no longer dressed like Qiao Duan, but always wore a veil. After all, she had a face that could bring ruin to a country, well, actually, she was stunningly beautiful.

Upon arriving at the factory, Wanyan Alugang asked the workers inside, "How's the work going? Can you guarantee it will be finished?"

Factory worker A replied, "Yes, Third Master, it can be made. The manufacturing process that the master brought back is very detailed. Although it's still in the experimental stage, it will definitely be possible to make it."

"Good, good, good," Wanyan Alugang said three times in a row. After all, this was money, and who doesn't love money?
