After Tang Baozhu finished speaking, Yong Xingcheng neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply pondered quietly.
Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Tang Baozhu didn't say anything, but just waited quietly on the side.
Looking at the storybook in her hand, Tang Baozhu thought that ancient scholars had quite rich imaginations, and could imagine things like demons, ghosts, gods and immortals.
Some of them are even written in a particularly erotic style, such as a scholar and a young lady who like each other and elope directly. I always feel that the young lady is a bit too love-struck.
She even wrote some fantastical stories, including one about a fox spirit who had become a demon and seduced scholars on their way to take the imperial examinations. She would fall in love with the scholars at first sight and give them money to help them pass through the examinations.
However, the scholar in this story is ungrateful. Once he passed the imperial examination, he immediately looked down on the fox spirit. He thought she was just an ordinary peasant girl, but little did he know she was a fox spirit who had become a demon, and his heart was instantly ripped out.
The more she watched, the more engrossed she became. She even forgot about Yong Xingchen, completely absorbed in the story and forgetting all about the rouge shop.
When Yong Xingchen came to his senses, he saw that Baozhu was completely absorbed in her work. He smiled subconsciously and didn't make a sound to disturb her. He just looked at her with tenderness.
Finally, after Tang Baozhu finished reading all the stories, she realized that the gaze that had been fixed on her was fixed on her. She quickly turned her head and saw Yong Xingchen's gentle and affectionate expression.
She subconsciously touched her face, and when she realized what she was doing, her face turned bright red instantly, and she quickly put her hand down.
She said with a slightly shy tone, "I don't think there's anything on my face, right?"
What were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed in your thoughts.
She quickly changed the subject to avoid being stared at, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I was just thinking, if you're going to open a rouge shop, which shop should I vacate? All the shops in the capital seem to be doing pretty well, so I don't know which one to close right now."
"There should be streets in the capital that specialize in selling rouge and face powder, right? Take a look at which shop is closer to where they sell rouge and face powder, and just leave that shop vacant. I imagine that wealthy and powerful ladies would go there when they want to buy rouge and face powder, so opening a shop there would bring better business."
Tang Baozhu had been to several small worlds, all of which were ancient worlds, so she roughly knew that some streets were lined with shops that sold rouge and face powder, and wealthy people would head straight to those shops when they came out to buy rouge and face powder.
Yong Xingchen knew exactly where the Hou family's shops were located. He quickly remembered that there seemed to be two shops selling rouge and face powder on the street where the Hou family sold them.
"There are cosmetic shops owned by our Marquis's mansion over there. If you are interested in this, I will give you those two shops directly, and I will also give you the indentures of everyone, including the shopkeeper. That way, you can take the cosmetics you make to sell there."
Giving away two shops so easily, that kind of extravagance is really tempting.
Tang Baozhu stared at him with shining eyes, not at his two shops, but at how he spent money as if it were a tael of silver, which looked incredibly cool.
"Xingchen, you're so kind. Well then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let me tell you, I have several formulas that are particularly effective. Once the rouge and powder shops are in my hands, they will definitely become incredibly popular."
Looking at Baozhu, Yong Xingchen's eyes sparkled. He suddenly found her quite cute and charming.
"Then I'll wait and see, and I hope my wife can give me a surprise."
He then changed the subject, saying, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our Marquis's mansion is wealthy enough. As long as we don't squander it, even if the Marquis's mansion goes through another one or two hundred years, we won't have to worry about not having money to spend."
"The wealth and honor of the Marquis's mansion belong to the Marquis's mansion, and what I earn is mine. How can they be confused? Don't underestimate me. I will definitely succeed and make everyone in the capital buy my rouge and face powder. I will definitely do it."
"There's no need to be so successful. If you do it too well, other cosmetic shops will have no way to survive. It's like taking away their livelihood, which is quite hateful. Although our Marquis's Mansion is not afraid, there's no need to be so ruthless. Harmony brings wealth."
Yong Xingchen was worried that she was too successful. The waters in the capital were quite deep. If she touched someone else's interests, even if it was a marquis's mansion, it would still be severely damaged.
"I'm not that naive. I only make high-end products, so the prices are definitely high. There will always be people who think it's too expensive and buy cheaper cosmetics instead. So it's not like I'm leaving other shops no way to survive."
At this moment, Yong Xingchen was worried that if Baozhu set the price too high, what would happen if it couldn't be sold?
He always felt like he had endless worries. After being with Baozhu, he habitually worried about this and that for her, and he did it willingly.
Maybe it's because I keep her in my heart.
"You know that's good. Why don't you hurry up and wash up? It's already getting dark. Let's get some rest."
Anyway, I had finished reading the script in my hand and was used to going to bed early and getting up early every day, so I didn't refuse and went straight to the side room to wash up.
After washing up, the two of them lay in bed and finished the things they hadn't done during the day several times. They stayed up until the early hours of the morning, then washed up again before finally going to sleep.
Yong Xingchen felt that the anger that had been building up all afternoon had finally dissipated, and he felt a little better.
Looking at the sweet little one sleeping peacefully in his arms, already fast asleep, he pulled her closer and closed his eyes to sleep as well.
Normally, after staying up so late, Tang Baozhu would definitely sleep in the next day, but after arriving at the Marquis's residence, she never slept in again.
There's no way around it; I have to pay my respects to my mother-in-law every morning. If she's nice, she'll ask you to eat with her. If she's not so nice, she'll just ask you to serve her food, and you have to put food on her plate and serve her soup.
Fortunately, Tang Baozhu did not have to serve her mother-in-law meals, but the daily morning greetings were still essential.
So even though she was exhausted the next day, she got up early with the help of her maids, ate a couple of pastries to fill her stomach, and hurried to the main courtyard at the back.
