Then he looked at Liu Ying and asked, "My son hasn't caused any trouble for his wife, has he?"
Liu Ying and Old Mrs. Li are about ten years apart in age, but Liu Ying doesn't look much older than Liu Miaoyin.
Compared to herself, Mrs. Li, who was clearly in her late forties, looked more like she was in her sixties because of years of hard work.
His temples were already gray, showing signs of old age.
“Ershu is very sensible, hardworking, and filial. Miaoyin and I both think highly of her,” Liu Ying said frankly.
Looking at the simple and honest old lady Li, Liu Ying knew that she was capable of raising a child like Li Ershu.
His character is certainly not bad.
Now that the decision has been made to let the two children be together, there's no need to say so many roundabout and high-sounding things.
Hearing Grandma Li's affirmation of Li Ershu, and seeing that Liu Ying didn't mind her being covered in dust, Grandma Li's heart gradually calmed down.
Grandma Li wiped her face with her sleeve and smiled, "That's good, that's good!"
When Liu Miaoyin looked, she saw that the small patch of dirt on Old Mrs. Li's face had been smeared all over half of her face because she had been wiping it with her hands.
She walked gracefully to Old Mrs. Li and took out a snow-white handkerchief from her bosom.
"Auntie, please don't move. Let me wipe the dust off your face," Liu Miaoyin said softly.
As he spoke, he raised his hand, preparing to help Grandma Li wipe herself.
When Grandma Li saw that the handkerchief was so white, she thought that if she used it to wipe her face, it would be ruined.
He hurriedly tried to back away.
"Good child, don't ruin this fine handkerchief. I'll wash it."
How could Liu Ying let Old Mrs. Li escape from her grasp? She forcefully grabbed Old Mrs. Li's hand.
He gestured for Liu Miaoyin to help him wipe it.
Liu Miaoyin raised her hand and gently wiped away the dirt from Old Mrs. Li's face, bit by bit.
Seeing this, Gu Chenxi, who was standing nearby, also brought a basin of water to the side.
I'm going to let Grandma Li wash her hands in a bit.
At the same time, I felt a little annoyed. It was really not a wise move of me to stop Grandma Li just now.
Fortunately, Madam Liu did not look down on Old Madam Li; otherwise, she would have been in serious trouble.
If the Liu family doesn't approve of the Li family, wouldn't that ruin Li Ershu's marriage?
Grandma Li looked at the stained white handkerchief, then at the water Gu Chenxi had brought.
My eyes welled up with tears.
"You two are such good kids. I wish I hadn't had a son. Having four daughters instead would have been so thoughtful!"
Grandma Li thought of her eldest daughter, Li Xihua.
Grandma Li's words made Liu Ying cover her mouth and laugh.
Grandma Li was puzzled as to why Liu Ying suddenly started laughing, and looked at Liu Ying curiously.
"Oh, my dear sister, tell me, the matter of having a boy or a girl isn't something we can decide for ourselves! It's all decided by the Goddess of Mercy who grants children."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Li also laughed.
"Sister Liu is right. Looking at her two lovely daughters, she feels extremely happy."
Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi exchanged a glance and then laughed.
"Older sister, if you ask me, it's better to have sons. Look at you, you gave birth to three sons, and you can easily win over three daughters. Isn't that great!" Liu Ying joked.
Grandma Li was amused by Liu Ying, and all her previous restraint and tension disappeared.
She squatted down, washed her hands with the water in front of her, and looked at Liu Ying, saying, "Although our family is poor, I love all daughters and sons as if they were my own."
Grandma Li's words were actually meant for the three people present.
This was a tacit guarantee that he would treat them as his own children in the future.
Grandma Li wasn't lying. Even her eldest daughter-in-law, Zuo Xiuhong, who was always causing trouble, was rarely asked by Grandma Li to cook or do chores.
Now that Zuo Xiuhong has stopped being so difficult, Old Mrs. Li dotes on her even more.
He often secretly gave Zuo Xiuhong money.
Of course, Zuo Xiuhong also became more and more filial to Old Mrs. Li.
Life has been getting smoother and smoother.
Both Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi blushed and lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled and said, "Miaoyin, why don't you walk around with this Sister Chenxi? I feel like I've known this older sister for a long time, so let's chat for a while."
Liu Miaoyin nodded, and Gu Chenxi led her outside.
In terms of scenery, the views by the stream and the sea are definitely much more pleasant.
The neighbor's yard hasn't been planted with any flowers or plants yet, and there's nothing to see.
After washing her hands, Grandma Li took Liu Ying to the kitchen.
Fortunately, the kitchen had tea sets and other necessities, so the two of them didn't feel thirsty while chatting inside.
After Gu Lili settled the matter with the merchants and received the final payment, she had her workers load the goods onto the carriage according to the order.
Since it was still early and it wasn't time to eat, and they were all eager to get back and earn money, everyone except Yu Shanhai said their goodbyes and left.
"Your Highness, I wanted to ask if, besides maltose and soap, there are any other unusual items for sale?" Yu Shanhai asked.
He felt that Gu Lili must have something else going on.
In order to get priority over other merchants, he deliberately stayed last, wanting to ask.
He knew that if Gu Lili had any new products, she would definitely prioritize the Liu family, but that didn't matter.
As long as you prioritize others, you will naturally have something to earn.
Gu Lili knew what the strange thing Yu Shanhai was talking about was.
After all, the flower petals he went to great lengths to extract the essential oils were provided by him.
In fact, some rose essential oil soaps have indeed been made.
However, it wasn't much, only around two hundred yuan.
And it hasn't been saponified properly yet.
Therefore, Gu Lili did not mention this matter.
Originally, Gu Lili planned to sell all the rose essential oil soaps to the Liu family.
However, since Yu Shanhai had gone to such lengths to mention it, he couldn't very well disappoint him.
"Yes! I've finished making the rose essential oil soap, but it's not completely finished yet. If you can wait until tomorrow, I can spare one hundred pieces for you."
The essential oil soap is finished, but it hasn't been unmolded yet.
It will be unmolded tomorrow.
As for saponification, let Yu Shanhai take it back and saponify it himself first.
This will save him the trouble of traveling back and forth for this.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shanhai's eyes lit up immediately.
He had heard about the price of soap in the capital.
If it were a soap with a rose scent, it would definitely sell for even more.
If I buy a hundred bars of soap, I'll make a fortune!
"Thank you, County Princess! Thank you, County Princess!" Yu Shanhai said repeatedly.
To do business, you still need to be thick-skinned!
"Old Yu, aren't you going to ask me about the price?"
