Seeing that Cui Xiaoxiao now had her own ideas, Song Wanning smiled and said, "Your idea is excellent. This fabric is also a good thing. I liked it the first time I saw it. I believe that if we take it to the cloth shop to sell, the business will definitely be good. But how to sell this fabric, I still need to think about it. After all, there are many good fabrics out there. What price to set and who to sell it to are all very important."
Cui Xiaoxiao now listened to Song Wanning's words and focused on making her own products. Since Song Wanning had given the order, she was the one who followed it. After all, she had seen Song Wanning's business acumen. If it weren't for her business acumen, the shops in the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't be doing so well.
Lu Zijun stood aside and said in surprise, "Wan Ning, I knew you were a good businessman, but I didn't expect you to be so good at making money now. I have quite a bit of private money now, and I'd like to give it to you so that we can make money together. When we have money, you can give me some."
"Then just wait for you to give me the spare money you have. When I open a new shop, I will invest your money in it. When I have money, I will let you make money too." Song Wanning said, looking at Lu Zijun and smiling faintly, "If you trust me, just take out all your family assets. I will never let you lose money."
Lu Zijun was so happy that she almost jumped up when she heard this. She immediately said, "Wan Ning, a few days ago, my mother said I didn't know how to run a business. I'm afraid she doesn't know that now that I have a good sister like you, there's no need to run a business myself to make money."
Seeing Lu Zijun like this, Song Wanning also laughed out loud, "You're right."
As Song Wanning spoke, she thought of the box of rouge she had just brought. She immediately handed it to Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss Cui, you've always been someone who understands rouge. Look at the color of this rouge. I've never seen a color like this in the rouge shop before, and it's really rare to see it now. I just don't know how this color is made. If we can figure it out, we can reopen our rouge shop and sell some good products in the future."
What Song Wanning said was right. After all, the rouge shop owned by Song Wanning was very prosperous in the capital. If it were not for Song Wanshi and Cui Xiaoxiao's intervention, it would have made a lot of money by now.
Now that Cui Xiaoxiao has come to work in her mansion, Song Wanning is thinking about reopening the rouge shop.
Cui Xiaoxiao took the rouge from Song Wanning's hand and said in surprise, "Madam, the color of this rouge is indeed rare and looks very strange. But as far as I know, such a color usually requires adding something else to the rouge, but the substances that can maintain the bright color are usually poisonous. If you want to know how such a color can be preserved, I have to study it carefully to find out what is added to produce such a color."
Song Wanning frowned when she heard this, then exchanged a glance with Lu Zijun before smiling faintly, "I'm afraid there's some otherworldly expert out there who can create this color, and we don't know about it. It has nothing to do with whether it's poisonous or not."
Lu Zijun was invigorated after hearing this. She immediately stood up and looked at Song Wanning and said, "No, I can't bring poison to harm you. Since Cui Xiaoxiao said this rouge might be poisonous, then you shouldn't use it for now. I'll call a doctor to take a look. You can use this rouge. You're pregnant now, you can't let this box of rouge harm you. If that really happens, I'll be guilty of a great sin."
As Lu Zijun spoke, she immediately summoned her personal maid and hurriedly instructed, "Qingling, take my letter and ask the most famous doctor from Baishan Hall in the capital to come take a look. The doctor from Baishan Hall has business dealings with my family, so I'm sure he won't refuse my favor. Doctor Liu from Baishan Hall is the most knowledgeable about these herbs. If we summon him to take a look, he can first determine if this rouge is harmful, and secondly, if it's not, he might even be able to find out how it's made."
After hearing that Lu Zijun had made up her mind, Song Wanning didn't try to stop her. She just looked at her and said soothingly, "I understand you. Since you've said so, I won't stop you. But why not take a look at what this rouge is made of? If I find out what herbal remedy it is, and it's harmless, I can have my shops make the same thing, and then you can make some money too."
Song Wanning now understood that if Lu Zijun got such news, he would definitely not go back like that.
Seeing this, Lu Zijun finally felt relieved. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "We were close friends before, and now I'm your sister-in-law. How could I have seen that you were in any danger? Since this is something I sent you, I must check it carefully to see if there is anything wrong with it. I will only feel at ease if you can use it."
They chatted and laughed for a while, and Lu Zijun's maid Qingling quickly invited the doctor from Baishan Hall.
Doctor Liu looked at Lu Zijun and Song Wanning and asked in confusion, "Which lady needs to be seen?"
Lu Zijun looked at Doctor Liu and said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you for making this trip, Doctor Liu. It's not that anyone needs to see me right now, but my dear sister-in-law is pregnant. I got a beautiful rouge and wanted to let her use it, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for her. So, please come and see if there are any herbs in it and whether it can be used by someone who's pregnant."
Seeing this, Doctor Liu nodded in understanding, took the rouge handed to him by Lu Zijun, and sniffed it with his nose.
Just after smelling it, Doctor Liu frowned, and then took out tools from his medicine box. He used a silver needle to scoop out a small piece of rouge on the gauze, and then put it to the tip of his nose to smell it again.
Seeing Doctor Liu's reaction, Lu Zijun also became anxious and asked hurriedly, "Doctor, is there anything wrong?"
Doctor Liu clenched the gauze in his hand and said to Lu Zijun, "It's a good thing the madam asked me to take a look. The reason this rouge is so beautiful is because it contains cinnabar and pure Five Elements Grass. Apart from anything else, this Five Elements Grass is extremely harmful to the fetus. I'm afraid that after using this rouge, within a few days, something will happen to the baby in this madam's belly."
As soon as Doctor Liu said this, Lu Zijun sat back in her chair in shock.
