He helped her into his arms.
"Not bad, I've earned back all the money I spent. Come on, Miss Han, let me show you some of our local delicacies."
Han Luoxue readily agreed; she had come to discuss long-term cooperation with Miss Du.
Due to yesterday's unforeseen circumstances, the plans have changed. However, a transit station still needs to be set up here. Previously, the plan was to locate the transit station at the military camp, but that's no longer necessary.
Han Yuchen has already gone to discuss it with the Zhou family.
"This is the best restaurant around here, Miss Han, please order whatever you'd like."
"I'm easygoing, how about we just grab something to eat?"
Ms. Du ordered the restaurant's specialty dishes, and the two chatted while they ate.
"You have no idea how much those ladies regretted it that day. My effect was already quite noticeable; those women were older and their skin wasn't as good as mine, so the effect was even more obvious for them."
"But they thought it was good, and their families took some to drink too. A small jar of wine can't be drunk more than a few times. At this point, they remembered that I still had some and wanted to buy it by the whole jar, even offering me double or triple the price. Do you think I could sell it to them?"
Han Luoxue listened with great interest.
“I definitely won’t sell it. I’ll make the wine into smaller bottles, which will increase the profit tenfold.”
This girl is ruthless, but Han Luoxue likes it. She never thought it could be done this way.
"Miss Han, do you still have this kind of fruit wine? I think the price of one thousand taels of silver is a bit low. We can raise the price."
Remembering her mother's instructions, Miss Du took the initiative to suggest raising prices.
She can finish all the fruit wine, and the price is even higher than what Han Luoxue sells herself. In that case, we should be able to cooperate, right?
"Oh, a price increase?"
Han Luoxue was still a little surprised when Miss Du took the initiative to raise prices.
How much do you want it to go?
"Two thousand taels of silver per jar?"
That doubled the amount, and Han Luoxue felt that Miss Du was being a bit too generous.
"The price you mentioned is quite tempting, but have you thought about the sales channels? What if we can't recoup the money..."
"No way, the Du family's business is all over the country, not just here. Besides, something that works so well is a bestseller wherever it goes."
Miss Du spoke with confidence. Han Luoxue thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine."
"Miss Han, let's sign an agreement. From now on, your fruit wine will be exclusively supplied to the Du family."
Wow, this little girl is quite something, she even has a sense of contract. Han Luoxue naturally wouldn't object, and the maid quickly brought paper and pen, and the two signed the agreement on the spot.
"Miss Han, I wonder how much longer you'll stay with us? Where will I get this fruit wine next?"
Miss Du was also very excited. She had a feeling that this fruit wine would definitely elevate the Du family to a higher level.
“My home is near the capital, which is quite far from here, but you can pick up the goods from the Zhou family later.”
“I could actually move there, if it’s near the capital.”
Although this area is developing well, it is too close to the border.
With the old general guarding the area, the people feel at ease and can live in peace. However, they've heard that the court isn't friendly towards the old general, and if someone else were to replace him, they wouldn't feel truly secure. The capital city, on the other hand, seems to be the safest place.
Her parents had also mentioned wanting to move there, but the family business here was so large that they were reluctant to give it up so easily.
"That's all easy to arrange, I'll bring it to you when the time comes."
Han Luoxue smiled and added, "I'll be making some other things in the future that are also very beneficial to the human body. I'll give them to you if they're suitable."
Mainly, she really admires this person.
"Miss Du, I really have done my best. Please don't make me lose money, okay?"
The two were chatting happily, eating and talking at the same time. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a figure stumbled in.
The newcomer was petite, with tears welling up in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved and sobbing.
"Xiaoyue, slow down. Linlang isn't the aggressive type; she was just joking with you. Why did you take it seriously?"
Accompanying the woman was a man, whose tall figure soon entered as well. She quickly and gently helped the stumbling and swaying Xiaoyue.
As the man suddenly approached, Xiaoyue leaned softly against him. She seemed to have cried too much; her face was flushed, and her frail, boneless appearance was exceptionally pitiful.
"I... I really just meant well. Miss Du, I haven't eaten or slept for a month because of your wedding dress. Look at my hands..."
As Xiaoyue spoke, she raised her hands, and her originally slender fingers now showed many needle marks, which looked quite shocking.
Seeing the two people enter, especially their intimate embrace, Miss Du clenched her fists in anger, veins bulging on her forehead.
"Li Wei, what exactly do you mean?"
"I... Linlang, you've always been the gentlest and kindest. You won't force Xiaoyue, will you?"
"Heh, I forced her? How did I force her?"
“She has already done her best to make your wedding dress, why are you being so aggressive? I have seen the wedding dress, it is well made and is already very good.”
"Are you feeling alright?"
"Yes, Linlang, in my heart you are the best, no matter what you wear, you are the most beautiful."
These are absolutely sweet words, full of sugary sweetness. Most women would be overjoyed and fall deeply in love upon hearing them.
As Li Wei spoke, he gazed at Miss Du with deep affection, if one ignored the woman in her arms.
Han Luoxue watched indifferently, without uttering a sound. Since ancient times, heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women. Beautiful women, too, find it hard to resist the charms of men.
This Li Wei was quite good-looking, over 1.8 meters tall, slender, with fair skin and regular features. Luo Xue didn't know her family background, but she felt that Miss Du had taken a liking to her because of her good looks.
"I'm the most beautiful? Li Wei, then why are you hugging other women?"
Miss Du was so angry that her eyes turned red.
"I... Linlang, Xiaoyue isn't feeling well. Didn't you see she can barely stand?"
"Li Wei, we're not married yet!"
Miss Du took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch someone, and her voice became calm instead.
She was neither as aggressive nor aloof as before. This side of her made Li Wei and Xiao Yue uncomfortable.
"You, Du Linlang, what do you mean? We're getting married next month."
A sudden unease welled up in Li Wei's heart. The Du Linlang of the past didn't look at her like this.
"Heh, you said it yourself, we're not getting married until next month. We're not even married yet, and you dare to hug another woman in front of me? Li Wei, do you think Du Linlang is someone who doesn't have a temper?"
"You? Xiaoyue is so frail, she almost fainted, I just helped her up. Linlang, you're always so understanding and generous, what's wrong with you today?"
"That's good, you just helped her into your arms. Are you planning to help her home after we get married?"
