Chapter 159 Benefiting Women
When Xu Qingyan heard this, she frowned and turned her head to look. She saw Pei Jingye, wearing an indigo Shu brocade cloud pattern robe, walking towards them with a look of disapproval on his face.
"Cousin, which eye of yours saw that we were the ones punishing her?" Pei Jinyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after hearing this.
Pei Jingye said as if it was a matter of course: "There are only a few of you here, and you two are playing here while she is kneeling there alone. Didn't she offend you and get punished?"
"Cousin, I really doubt how you can expand this business all over the world with a brain like yours! She is second brother's concubine, why are we punishing her? If you are curious, you might as well ask second brother. I am also curious why she was punished to kneel here?" Pei Jinyu shook his head speechlessly when he heard this.
Pei Jingye finally believed it, and turned to look at Zhao Shiwen again, saying, "I remember that second brother's concubine was called Qingyue, wasn't she? It's only been a few days, and he has taken in another concubine?"
During this period of time, he had only been away on a long trip, so he didn't know so many things had happened in the Duke's Mansion. This time he came to find Xu Qingyan and the others because he had something important to tell them.
So, he no longer cared about Zhao Shiwen, but looked at Xu Qingyan with a bright look, and said: "Sister-in-law, didn't you and Jing Yuan's concubine say last time that you wanted to learn how to do business from me? Now, I have an opportunity for you to make a fortune, so I came to find you specially. Let's go... Let's go find my second brother's concubine and ask her to come with us."
Doing business? And with Xu Qingyue? To be honest, Xu Qingyan didn't really want to be with Xu Qingyue.
So, Xu Qingyan shook her head and said, "Cousin, my second brother's concubine and I don't get along well. I'm afraid that if we are together, we won't be able to do business well."
"It doesn't matter! I'm not asking you to do it together. You can do your own things and open two shops. But, I promised to teach both of you last time, so I can't favor one over the other!" Pei Jingye said generously.
In his eyes as a businessman, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. Moreover, he felt that Xu Qingyan and Xu Qingyue only had a small conflict at most, and there was no deep hatred. They were all people from the Duke of Ying's Mansion, so how bad could they be?
So, Pei Jingye forced Xu Qingyan and the others to find Xu Qingyue.
In Pei Jingyuan's yard, Xu Qingyan and Xu Qingyue were sitting together, listening to Pei Jingye talking about the business he mentioned.
"Cousin, what did you just say? Do you want us to do...what business?" After hearing this, Xu Qingyue's face was full of surprise and she even felt a little embarrassed.
Even Pei Jinyu's face turned red after hearing Pei Jingye's words, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Pei Jingyuan was so angry that his face darkened. Regardless of his status as a half-brother, he said to Pei Jingye in a bad tone: "Cousin, how can you be so shameless and say such things? This is absolutely impossible. Even if Qingyue wants to do it, I will not agree!"
After hearing this, Xu Qingyue shook her head and said, "Husband, I don't want to do such a shameful thing."
Only Xu Qingyan's face was full of magnanimity, with a hint of joy in her eyes, thinking: [My cousin is such a wonderful person! No wonder he is described as so powerful in the book and made so much money. It turns out that he won in this aspect! In this backward ancient society, he was able to send people to search for strange people in the world and boldly researched something similar to modern sanitary napkins! Although, this may not be as easy to use as a sanitary napkin, but it sounds much better than the menstrual belt we use now! As long as I give my cousin some more suggestions, improve it, and sell it in major stores, am I still afraid of not making money? Hahaha... I feel like I'm going to get rich! If Xu Qingyue doesn't do this business, I will do it. If I follow my cousin, sooner or later I will be able to become rich! ]
After hearing this, Pei Jinyu thought: Sister-in-law, is this okay? That's... a menstrual belt? Nowadays, which woman doesn't use these things secretly? Sister-in-law actually dares to open a store with her cousin and sell this kind of thing openly?
The more Pei Jinyu thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.
"Are you really not going to do it? If this business is done well, you will definitely make a lot of money. It's just that I'm a man and it's not convenient for me to do it, but it's different for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Besides, it's shameful for a woman to do this business! It's just like rouge and powder, which are necessities for women. No... this is more necessary than rouge and powder!" Pei Jingye couldn't help but persuade Pei Jingyuan when he saw their strong refusal.
He thought that they would definitely have a big reaction when they heard this. However, he still wanted to try it. Although he felt embarrassed at first, the menstrual belt was a necessity for women. After a long time, people would definitely break the prejudice. What's wrong with women selling things that women need?
However, Pei Jingyuan's face became darker and darker. He tried his best to hold it in and said, "Cousin, you should find someone else! We at Qingyue don't do this business."
He can't afford to lose face! Xu Qingyue also supports Pei Jingyuan. She wants to make money, but she really thinks it's embarrassing to do this.
Just when Pei Jingye was a little disappointed, Xu Qingyan said crisply: "Cousin, if they don't do it, I will! You hand over this business to me, and when you make money in the future, we will share the profits!"
Pei Jingye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Really, don't you mind?"
Xu Qingyan heard Pei Jingye's words and smiled: "What's there to be disgusted with? It's not illegal, and the court doesn't have any regulations saying that women can't do this business, right?"
"That's definitely not illegal, and it's not a bad thing." Pei Jingye said affirmatively.
But after he finished speaking, his brows furrowed again, and he had other concerns, and said, "Oh, right! Sister-in-law, what if the young master doesn't agree with you doing this business?"
After all, if Pei Jingyuan would refuse and feel embarrassed, then Pei Jingchuan is a traditional and conservative person, so there is no guarantee that he would not object as well.
Xu Qingyan felt that it made sense, but she was still attracted by the huge profits and thought that if this kind of thing was made, it would benefit women. You know, the menstrual belt she is using now is really uncomfortable. Sometimes she has to worry about leakage, and it also has a strange smell.
So, Xu Qingyan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! I'll take care of the problem with the young master. Cousin, if you are free one day, take me to see your products and we can discuss how to do this business."
"Okay!" Pei Jingye agreed excitedly.
Xu Qingyue, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh at Xu Qingyan's boldness. She pretended to be kind and said, "Princess, aren't you afraid of losing face by doing this? You should think about it carefully. If you are laughed at behind your back, it will be a loss for the Duke's Mansion!"
As long as Xu Qingyan dares to do it, she will go out and promote it well for her, so that everyone will know that Xu Qingyan is doing this shameful business!
