Chapter 73: The closer you are to the red, the redder you are

The two were talking upstairs, and downstairs, the Grand Princess's carriage was parked in front of the door in a dignified manner. Anyone with eyes could see it.

Those dignitaries who rushed over after hearing the news, if they had been skeptical at first, now they just rushed forward without any worries.

The Grand Princess has come here and stayed for so long, so the things here must be good, and the soaps here must be good too. In short, buy, buy, buy!

The Grand Princess's carriage stopped for a long time, and Su's Silk Shop's business was booming the whole day, and the news even spread throughout the capital.

Twenty taels of silver will give you a small soap, fifty taels will give you a medium soap, one hundred taels will give you a large soap, and five hundred taels will give you three complete sets of soaps. There are also discounts on cloth purchases on weekdays, with a 10% discount on everything.

"Hey, this soap is free!"

"It's quite nice, and the Grand Princess directly topped up 500 taels of silver!"

"Let's go and have a look."

Su Jin's business is getting better and better.

It might seem like giving away soaps is a loss, but actually there aren't many people who can really shell out twenty taels to buy cloth at once, and the really rich people will definitely choose to recharge five hundred taels, so the soaps are given away in sets, and occasionally someone will spend twenty taels to buy cloth just for a small piece of soap, so Su Jin didn't give away many soaps, but he did receive a lot of money.

After seeing off the Grand Princess, Su Jin laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. The shopkeeper's jaw dropped countless times, which really shocked his friend.

So the lady came here mainly to clear out the stock today, and the new goods are just a side item?

He looked at the materials in the shop in a daze. Almost all of them were sold out. After all, there were not many new materials. In addition, Su Jin had a eloquent mouth. Even if an ugly guy with pockmarks all over his face and as black as a coal ball came, she would praise the pockmarks on his face as a blessing from heaven. The person who was praised would be very happy and would be more willing to pay for it.

After all these operations, one quarter of the accumulated inventory was sold directly, and there was no discount at all, all were sold at the original price. This means that they made a fortune today!

The shopkeeper also started to laugh foolishly, mainly because he was happy. God, he was making a fortune every day, he was so happy.

"Madam, you are awesome!"

The shopkeeper was convinced, and Su Jin said with a smile: "Learn this, you have to flatter the right people, this is a science!"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, madam, I will learn from you!

The shopkeeper was so impressed that he decided to learn from the lady how to flatter correctly.

Su Jin taught very happily. After giving some pointers, the shopkeeper was officially appointed and there was no need for Su Jin to take any action for the rest.

Well, that's good. She can finally lie down, rest, drink some tea and have some snacks.

This is called lying flat, working hard to sell is called lying flat? That's called being a social animal!

When they were almost done resting, Su Jin asked, "Yuchuan, have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Yuchuan nodded and said, "Madam, I followed your instructions and followed Wang Laowu and his three men all the way. I saw them enter the Liuji Silk Shop next door."

Liu Ji?

Isn’t that the shop of Concubine Hui’s parents, General Liu Cong?

"So you've found a new employer?"

Yuchuan nodded: "Yes, we started working as soon as we entered. Moreover, I found that Zhao Si and Daniu seemed to be very familiar with the people inside. Although they didn't speak, they communicated with their eyes. It was so strange. Why did they make eye contact?"

Is there any need to ask?

Of course, it was Wang Laowu, an outsider, who was in a difficult position to speak up. But Wang Laowu, this idiot, thought that others were really on his side, but it turned out that others were just fooling him.

Su Jin blew a sip of hot tea and slowly said, "General, are you not getting along with the old master?"

"Ah!" Yuchuan screamed, "It seems like they are not getting along. They often quarrel in the court. Is this some kind of conspiracy?"

It's not a conspiracy or anything like that. I'm afraid they are just here to cause trouble and take her away on purpose.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly drank her tea, and when the shop closed, she called everyone over.

"I still say the same thing. If you want to leave, I will not keep you. I will pay you every penny. If you stay, you will have to work for the center. There will not be any more people like Wang Laowu."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Everyone nodded, and Su Jin continued, "We agreed to increase the monthly salary when we make money. Although this month has not yet passed, business is good today, so each person will be rewarded 50 coins. If business is good this month, I will give you another 200 coins."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted and thanked Su Jin repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam!"

Su Jin waved his hand, arranged for the shopkeeper to do his job, and turned away.

Anyway, she has already learned everything, so she probably doesn't need to worry about the silk farm anymore.

After the money was divided, everyone dispersed. Today, many people got an extra fifty coins, so they chose to buy some meat to eat at home. On the way, they met Wang Laowu who was working with them. Wang Laowu said proudly: "I told you to leave but you still don't leave. Let me tell you, my new employer gives me an extra fifty coins every month. With this money, I can drink an extra pound of wine every month!"

Wang Laowu shook his head and showed off. Several people looked at each other, and finally someone couldn't help but speak up: "The lady said that if the business is good this month, she will increase our monthly salary by 200 coins."

Wang Laowu's eyes widened: "Business is good? Do you believe it? That shabby shop is about to go bankrupt!"

"No, business is especially good today. I heard from the shopkeeper that we have received over a thousand taels of silver today!"

"Yes, yes, today the lady gave each of us fifty coins. I'm going to buy some offal to take back for the children to satisfy their cravings!"

"I'm leaving too. I'm going to get some good wine!"

A few people dispersed happily, leaving Wang Laowu standing there in confusion.

What what what? ? He was given money as soon as he left? 50 wen per person? A 200 wen salary increase at the end of the month? His new employer only gave him 50 wen more per month, so what was the point of changing jobs? ?

Wang Laowu was stunned and his head was buzzing.

On the other side, Zhao Yingqiao also returned to the mansion.

A large pile of fabrics was brought back. Su Jin praised them to great lengths, but when she took a closer look, she found that they were just some fabrics that had been popular before, and she already had clothes made of these fabrics. So Zhao Yingqiao kept the new fabrics and gave the old ones away as gifts to others.

When Yin Zhengnan came back in the evening, Zhao Yingqiao called her youngest son over.

"You and that Gu Zixuan, are you still together now?"

"Yes, mother, we are good brothers."

"Humph, I told you to stay away from him a long time ago. Following him has led you astray. You are obviously a good student, but because of him, you are nothing now!"

Su Jin is a nice person, but her son is really not that good. Otherwise, why would the Shangshu Mansion prefer to marry their daughter to a illegitimate son instead of to Gu Zixuan? This Xuan brother is just incompetent.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." She had to keep her son away from him.
