Chapter 518 Heartache
Playing chess.
Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli looked at each other and then smiled.
Needless to say, there were at least five little turtles on Chu Jinzhou's arms.
"That's great. My sister and I came here this time to bring some goodies for Mr. Fan and Jin Zhou. They can be used now." Zhuang Qingsui shook the square oil paper bag in his hand and pulled Zhuang Mingli, "Let's go quickly."
If you go too late, you might not be able to see the wonderful moment of painting the little turtle.
"Okay." Zhuang Mingli nodded excitedly.
"Miss Sui, young master, please follow me." Ban Qing led the way and took them to Chu Jinzhou's study.
In the flower hall, for a moment, only Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning were left.
"Miss Zhuang, please have some tea." Chu Jinnian sat down and explained, "I just returned to Qingzhu Garden and haven't even changed my clothes yet. I'm sorry."
"Originally, I was thinking of packing up a bit and then going to visit Miss Zhuang."
I never thought that Zhuang Qingning would come to my house first.
Can we say that the two of them are quite destined to be together?
Zhuang Qingning thought Chu Jinnian was just being polite and didn't think much about it. He just took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I heard from Jinzhou earlier that according to the usual practice, Lord Chu would not be back until he was 27 or 28 at the earliest. This year he is back early."
The Little New Year is coming in two days. It can be seen that Chu Jinnian really loves Chu Jinzhou, as he has returned so early.
"I'm ashamed to say that."
Chu Jinnian smiled and said, "I came back so early this year because of business."
"A family massacre occurred in Majiazhuang near the county. Lord Ding and Lord Xu could not find any clues after a long investigation, so they reported the case. The murders involved many people and were cruel. Even the children in the family were not spared. Even the emperor heard about it and was very angry. He ordered me to come and investigate."
"As soon as possible, the case will be solved and the murderer will be caught, which will comfort the soul of the deceased and give peace of mind to the people."
"I see." Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly.
She had indeed heard of this case a long time ago, and because the entire family was murdered and she was still young at the time, rumors spread and became more and more outrageous.
Some say it's an evil ghost seeking revenge, some say it's a bandit who's trying to steal money and kill people, and some say it's a murderer. No matter who you are, you won't be satisfied until you see blood on your hands...
No matter what kind of rumor it was, the end result was that the people were in panic. As soon as it got dark, no one dared to walk around outside. At night, candles were lit brightly and no one dared to turn off the lights. Because of the candles, there were two or three fires nearby in just a few days.
If this continues, I'm afraid there will be even bigger trouble.
It is reasonable for the higher-ups to send people down to investigate the case.
Chu Jinnian works in the Ministry of Justice and often travels between the capital and this place, so it is indeed very appropriate to send him here.
And seeing that Chu Jinnian's eyelids were a little blue, it was obvious that he had rushed here day and night.
It seems that even if one is born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has a prominent status, he still has to do his job as a worker well.
Zhuang Qingning suddenly felt a little distressed for Chu Jinnian, "Master Chu, you have worked hard."
The cup almost slipped out of his hand, but luckily Chu Jinnian was quick-witted and grabbed the top edge of the cup, thus avoiding embarrassment.
"Miss Zhuang, you are too kind. This is my job." Chu Jinnian suppressed the excitement in his heart, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Zhuang Qingning who was smiling. "Miss Zhuang seems to have lost a lot of weight. She must have been very busy these days."
"It's all daily chores, so it can't be said to be too busy."
Zhuang Qingning replied, "It's the end of the year, and all workshops will stop working the day before the New Year, so we can have a good rest from now on. I made some soap when I was free at home these few days, and I thought Mr. Fan and Jin Zhou might need it, so I sent some over."
"Soap?" Chu Jinnian raised his eyebrows. "Is it a new snack made by Miss Zhuang?"
If so...
Just now I saw Zhuang Qingsui holding a lot of food in his hands, and now I estimate that half of them have gone into the stomachs of Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou.
The rest of them...
Chu Jinnian quickly thought in his mind how to intercept those things.
"No, it's not a snack, nor is it food. It's something to use." Zhuang Qingning explained hurriedly, taking out a piece and unwrapping the oil paper. "Here, take a look."
Chu Jinnian took it, examined it carefully, and even put it under his nose to sniff it, and asked, "What is this for?"
"Soap is used to wash hands and face, or to do laundry. If there is dirt somewhere, dip it in water and rub it, some foam will come out. After rubbing it, the dirt can be washed away, leaving it as clean as new." Zhuang Qingning replied.
"It sounds very magical." Chu Jinnian said with a smile, "The name is also very interesting."
"This thing is magical and easy to use. It's not complicated to make, and the raw materials are easy to get. However, few people know about it, and no one uses it. So I thought that if this thing can be made in large quantities and started to be sold, it will definitely be very profitable."
Zhuang Qingning looked at Chu Jinnian a little embarrassedly, "So I want to ask Lord Chu if you have any cooked food business people in the capital, preferably people with good character and strong financial strength, please help introduce one or two to see if we can do this soap business together."
Different from the previous tofu, bean curd sticks, preserved eggs, vermicelli, etc. which require the addition of system-specific formula powder/water, this soap does not require any additives. This workshop can be set up elsewhere, even in a faraway place.
There are not many products like Ban Yuexiang that have a small audience. But soap can be promoted as a mass commodity. And because the product can be refined and extended to make scented soaps, various petal soaps such as rose soap, gardenia soap, etc., and even various medicated soaps, it can be said that it can fully meet the needs of people at all levels.
When initially promoting such products, it is necessary to choose a place like Beijing. With the "star" effect of Beijing, people in other places can follow suit and buy the products, so as to achieve the goal of promoting sales in various places.
But in the capital, Zhuang Qingning really didn't know anyone who was powerful and engaged in business. The only one who claimed that his family did business in the capital was Shang Chengen, whom he had just met. Since he couldn't invest in one place and he was not very familiar with Shang Chengen, Zhuang Qingning set his sights on Chu Jinnian.
Given Chu Jinnian's personality, the people he is familiar with and trustworthy must be good. In the process of cooperation, they can also borrow Chu Jinnian's name a little to intimidate the other party so that they will not be sneaky and wait for an opportunity to swallow her formula.
"Of course, this favor will not be done for nothing, Lord Chu. If this matter can be settled, Lord Chu will be given 20% of the profits. What do you think, Lord Chu?"
