Chapter 410: Erya’s Way to Wealth
When Erya met Yunting, she excitedly told him that her hair dye was a hit!
"Almost a thousand copies have been ordered now. I have hired someone to make them, but the core formula is still known only to the two of us." Erya's face was full of excitement about making money.
Those ladies who were granted imperial titles did not buy things in batches of one or two, but in batches of ten or twenty.
This number far exceeded Erya's expectations.
"The price isn't too expensive, just one or two taels of silver each," Erya said. "My eldest sister said that even the housekeepers of the wealthy families can afford it. So, for the time being, there will be a lot of people ordering it. We're rich, Yunting, we're rich!"
The word "we" made Yun Ting feel like being pricked by needles in his heart.
Zhuozhuo, do you know that we may have no future?
"Why are you looking at me?" Erya was puzzled by the way he looked at her.
The look in his eyes was too complicated for her to understand.
Such depth should not appear on the face of a naive person like Yun Ting.
"I'm happy for you."
"We're wrong. Didn't I tell you I'd give you 20% interest? I mean what I say." Arya said, "I know you don't need money, but this is money you earned with your own ability, it's different!"
This year, let her earn a few thousand or ten thousand taels of silver, so that she will have the capital to do anything in the future.
Her business dream goes far beyond this.
"Then save it for me first." Yun Ting said with a smile, "Just treat it as my private money."
"That's fine. But why are you unhappy today?"
When Yun Ting heard this, his emotions almost lost control.
He tried very hard to act as if nothing had happened, but Arya still noticed.
"Zhuozhuo, the emperor has granted me a marriage." Yun Ting sat down on the chair, lowered his head, so as not to let Erya see the emotions in his eyes.
"About this..." Erya thought for a moment, "I heard about it from my father. I also asked about Miss Lu for you. She said she's a good person. When you get married, I'll give you a big red envelope."
"I don't like her. I have someone I like." Yun Ting finally couldn't help but said in a muffled voice.
"You have someone you like?" Erya was surprised, then a little cautious, "Then why didn't you tell me before? The emperor has already granted us a marriage, how can it change?"
This matter has caused so much trouble that I really don’t know what to say.
"I went to the emperor, but he refused."
Yun Ting thought that it was rare for her to be so careful.
Everyone says she is picky, but who knew she is so considerate.
Zhuozhuo has a sensitive, kind and tenacious heart.
Erya sat down next to him, wanting to comfort him, but afraid of saying the wrong thing.
After a long while, she said in a muffled voice, "No matter what, Miss Lu did nothing wrong. If you want to cancel the engagement, try to minimize the impact on her reputation and give her some compensation. If you can't cancel the engagement, then just—live a good life with her. She can't choose her husband, it's not her fault. You can't be Chen Shimei, otherwise I will look down on you."
After a pause, she continued, "It doesn't matter who she lives with. Miss Lu must be a very nice person."
"What about your parents? When you look at your parents, do you think it doesn't matter who you live with?" Yun Ting couldn't help but ask.
You're kidding me.
"Isn't this just comforting you?" Erya pouted. "Your idea is wrong. Your family is powerful, and you're still thinking about marrying whoever you like. You're taking all the advantages! Miss Lu may not be your type, but she does have her merits. If that doesn't work, just think about it. We used to quarrel and bicker every day, and I wanted to drive you away. It was a mess, but now things aren't going well for us, are they?"
Yun Ting was silent.
After a moment, he decided to give up this "self-abuse" discussion and change the subject.
"Zhuozhuo, I might have to leave."
"Are you going home? Are you going back to seek revenge on your inhuman cousin? I support you!"
Beat that bastard.
"If you need to scold someone, call me. I will do it without hesitation!" Erya said solemnly.
"Why are you suddenly so nice to me?" Yun Ting said in a muffled voice.
"You help me make money, and I help you curse people." Erya smiled.
"Forget it. I'm afraid you'll go to the Duke's Mansion, take a fancy to my vast wealth, and refuse to leave."
Arya: "...Even a millionaire's fortune isn't mine. I don't want it! I want to rely on myself."
"Honestly, I might have to go to Yongji County and become the county magistrate."
"What?" Arya thought she had misheard. "Become a county magistrate? Can you—do it?"
After saying that, perhaps feeling she was being too blunt, she added, "I'm worried you're young and inexperienced."
"Let's try it."
Xiao Yan stood outside the window and listened to the entire conversation between the two people.
He could feel that Yun Ting was heavier than before.
Yun Ting also looked for him alone.
"Could you please not let Zhuozhuo get engaged yet? Give me, give me three years." Yun Ting said with difficulty, "If after three years, I can't cancel the engagement, then I will accept my fate and not delay Zhuozhuo any longer."
"I can't promise you on her behalf. I can only promise you on my own behalf. I won't arrange a marriage for her. But if she meets someone she truly loves, I won't stop her."
"That's fine." Yun Ting nodded, then suddenly looked up at Xiao Yan and smiled, "I'm going to be the county magistrate."
"Do your best."
"You, will you come to see me?"
"That's pretty bad."
Yun Ting could no longer bear it and punched Xiao Yan on the shoulder, "Will you die if you comfort me?"
"Choose your path and forge ahead on your own. Everything that is yours will be yours."
"Sir." There was a knock on the door and Aunt Sang's voice came from outside.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan said in a light tone.
"Lord Lu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, requests an audience."
Lu Jin?
It’s New Year’s Day, what is he doing here?
