Chapter 121 Results Announced
Gu Suiyu nodded: "So, how old is Prince Rui?"
The two boys lowered their heads and picked at their fingers.
"Twenty-six, maybe?"
"Or maybe, twenty-eight?"
Gu Suiyu: ...
"So why hasn't he gotten married yet? Is there something wrong with him?"
"He said he wanted to focus on state affairs first and help the emperor solve financial problems first..."
The three children looked at each other.
"Otherwise, continue to observe?"
Gu Suiyu nodded: "Well, let's observe. Getting married is a big deal. To avoid finding someone like my father again, it's better not to get married."
Thus, the first Mothers’ Marriage Seminar was a complete success, and the three participants set a small goal for the future: first, observe Prince Rui’s character.
Su Jin didn't know that her divorce hadn't even started yet, but her three children were already worrying about her future.
Happy times always pass quickly. Su Jin walked out of the brothel reluctantly, bowed to Prince Rui and said goodbye before getting into the car.
The most important thing now is to have someone deliver the soap in the warehouse to Prince Rui. That’s all money!
"Mom, I'll do it."
Gu Sui Yu patted his chest and Su Jin nodded. This girl learns very quickly and can even manage a snack shop, so what is a little soap?
Soon, Gu Suiyu took the soap to the palace and got some information from the servants.
What about Prince Rui being cold and dislikes strangers approaching, and having no princess, concubines or bed warmer? The main character is a man who is not good at sex with women and is rebellious.
Gu Suiyu's eyes turned: "Maybe the prince likes men?"
"Oh my Fourth Miss, please don't talk nonsense. Even if you are a girl from the Marquis' Mansion, I can't protect you!"
Gu Suiyu: ...
No, I feel like I need to investigate further, especially for such a perfect single bachelor. He is either really good or he is hiding his true potential. Humph, I will find out sooner or later anyway!
Soon, Gu Suiyu returned to Liuting Pavilion with the silver bills.
When Su Jin saw the amount of money on the banknote, she was so shocked that she spat out the scented tea.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver?!"
Su Jin was shocked. If all the soaps were sold, they would earn at most 10,000 taels. What on earth was this extra 20,000 taels?
"The prince said that if we sell it, the price is this, take it or leave it."
Su Jin gave a thumbs up. One can only say that the royal family's business is very confident. No one would dare to say "I want it or not" in their place.
"Well, you did a good job."
Su Jin pressed the banknote and said, "If you are willing to accept it, I will give you 10% of the dividends. Sui Yu, the soap business should be open soon, so you should do a good job."
Money is the foundation of one's livelihood. As a girl from a marquis's mansion, Gu Suiyu already has status. If she has money now, even if she marries the eldest princess's youngest son, people will look upon her with higher regard.
Gu Suiyu said happily: "Thank you, mother. I understand, mother!"
After the fourth girl left, Su Jin took the banknotes and went to the old lady's room.
"The lady is here!"
Zou was happy when she saw her, thinking that she had made the right choice in marrying him.
Su Jin handed over the banknote in his hand.
"Madam, your soaps were sold for thirty thousand taels. My daughter-in-law brought them to you."
This matter cannot be concealed.
Since the soap is going abroad, it will definitely be a hot business in the future. The old lady will know this sooner or later.
Zou's hand trembled, and she quickly took the banknote, looked at it in the light for a long time, and finally her whole body began to tremble.
"Madam, this is..."
Su Jin then told him about Prince Rui's plan to do foreign business, and then said with a smile: "Mother can start the soap business now, it will definitely be prosperous."
Zou covered her chest with her hands. Her blood pressure was slightly elevated due to excitement and agitation, so she could only try her best to suppress it.
"Madam, you are really a lucky star for our mansion!" Zou couldn't help but say, "I heard that Brother Xuan did well in the exam this time. The former playboy has now turned over a new leaf. It's all thanks to you, Madam!"
The old lady kept praising him, and Su Jin kept shaking her head. She was not being modest. She really had never disciplined Gu Zixuan. When the child wanted to run away from home, she even contributed her efforts, helped him pack up some silver, and personally kicked him out of Liuting Pavilion.
But the old lady didn't think so. She just thought it was Su Jin's credit.
Madam, you are so talented!
However, the old lady did not take all the money. Instead, she gave two-thirds to Su Jin and kept only 10,000 silver coins for herself.
"You bought this soap, and I shouldn't have taken it, but I'll leave you this ten thousand taels, as if you were investing in it. You'll also have a share in the soap business of the Marquis' Mansion in the future."
Su Jin: ...
How to say it, happy and unhappy.
The happy thing is that Yin Zi ran into her arms by herself, but the unhappy thing is that she must never let her take care of these things in the future.
Oh, there should be no future. When the results are announced, I can get a divorce and leave this home.
Thinking of this, she returned to Liuting Pavilion and asked Jinchuan and Yuchuan to start packing up some miscellaneous things.
As Yuchuan packed up, she said, "Madam, this small hand warmer can still be used when the weather gets cold, why are you putting it away now?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll take it out when the time comes."
Su Jin lay on the small couch, fanning herself with a fan, but she squinted her eyes and thought carefully about everything that happened after the results were announced.
After the announcement of the results, there will be the palace examination, where the emperor will personally assess the candidates and decide the top three. There will then be a banquet, which the emperor will attend in person.
Well, the banquet that the emperor himself will attend... let her think about it.
Not long after Su Jin left, the old Marquis Gu Zhao came back from court. As soon as he entered the room, he said to Zou with a beaming face, "Madam, great joy!"
Zou was also happy: "Oh, what's the good news?"
"The emperor praised our lady in front of all the court officials today, saying that she is smart and has opened up a new way to generate income for the Great Zhou."
"?"
Zou didn't understand.
Apart from going to the shop, Su Jin usually stays in Liuting Pavilion to eat, drink and have fun. How can he open up a way to generate income for the emperor?
"Haha, you don't understand, right? It's about that soap business, which is very important to Prince Rui. After all, Prince Rui cares so much about it because he wants to share the emperor's worries. But our lady's suggestion solved everyone's worries!"
Zou couldn't wait: "Tell me what's going on."
Gu Zhao then mentioned the whole story and finally commented: "The eldest lady is worthy of being the daughter of a great family in Hexi. Among so many court officials, not one has ever thought of selling this thing to foreigners. This daughter-in-law is really the right one to marry!"
Is it wrong to marry him? Because of Su Jin, he has been praised by the emperor twice, twice!
What about Lin Wanhui? Humph, she was a good girl. But with a Green Waist Dance, she and her son were scolded by the Emperor at the morning court and couldn't even raise their heads.
Marry a virtuous wife and take a concubine who is beautiful; the ancients were right.
The Marquis' Mansion is not doing well now, and it is such a great honor to be praised by the Emperor twice in such a short period of time.
Gu Zhao was filled with joy and arranged for Zou to send some more good things to Su Jin.
Soon, the day for the announcement of the results arrived.
