25. See Wu Mei Niang, the prototype of business
Yang looked at the very polite Wei Shuyu in front of her, with a satisfied smile on her face, "Shuyu is here, sit down in the room."
"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Wu."
Wei Long was also very discerning and placed the gifts for his subordinates in another house, then stood quietly outside the house.
Wei Shuyu followed Yang and Wu Meiniang into the house.
"Mei Niang, make tea for Mr. Wei." Yang greeted her daughter.
"Yes, Mother."
Wu Meiniang picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea. One cup was given to her mother and the other to Wei Shuyu.
"Thank you."
Wei Shuyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although the tea was not good tea, it had a unique fragrance, a fragrance that he had never smelled before, which was refreshing.
Yang smiled softly, "The tea is not good, but it made Mr. Wei laugh."
"Tea is just a foreign object. Making tea depends on the skill of the tea maker. Shuyu actually thinks the tea tastes great." After Wei Shuyu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Meiniang vaguely.
After all, Wu Meiniang was not the ruthless empress she would be in the future, she was still a young lady who had not left the palace. Listening to Wei Shuyu's words, a ray of color finally appeared on her fair and bloodless face.
However, she quickly returned to normal. The miserable experience in her life made Wu Meiniang not trust anyone.
Listening to Wei Shuyu praising her daughter, Mrs. Yang naturally had a look of pride on her face.
"When Shuyu comes this time, he first met his mother-in-law. Tomorrow, his father will come in person with three books and six letters." After drinking the tea, Wei Shuyu mentioned the business.
"That's what it should be, that's what it should be. It's what the parents ordered the matchmaker to say." Yang nodded.
The matchmaker said that His Majesty had arranged the marriage in person, and what was left was the order from his parents. In any case, Wei Zheng should come in person.
When Wu Meiniang heard Wei Shuyu say that he wanted Duke Wei to come here, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She and her mother no longer have anything to do with Duke Ying's mansion, but they are still the daughters of the British Duke. It is in line with etiquette for the Wei family to hire Duke Ying's mansion...
When Wei Shuyu came here for the first time, he didn't have a long chat. It was enough to meet the future empress Wu Zetian and his mother-in-law.
Wei Shuyu said goodbye.
The two mothers depended on each other and had no servants to call on, so Yang asked Wu Meiniang to go and see Wei Shuyu off.
Wei Shuyu and Wu Meiniang walked out of the house side by side and walked to the cultivated land in front of the house.
Seeing the lush seasonal green vegetables, Wei Shuyu chuckled and asked, "I think these vegetables are growing well. Is Mei Niang cooking them?"
"Yes." Wu Meiniang nodded lightly.
"I wonder if I can pick some? Go back and make a dish."
Wu Meiniang listened to Wei Shuyu's request for green vegetables, and her delicate face smiled softly, "What? Your Duke Zheng's mansion is still short of vegetables?"
Wei Shuyu shook his head, "There is no shortage of vegetables, but you grew them."
Wu Meiniang did not answer, but nodded to express her agreement.
"Wei Long, pick some vegetables and go back."
"Yes, young master." Wei Long passed by Wu Meiniang. On the surface, he was calm, but in fact, he was already in a state of turmoil.
"How is this possible? The purple energy on this little lady's body is so strong?"
"Master Wei's purple energy is even less than hers..."
"So rich, so rich...only the emperor on earth can have it!"
Wei Long went to pick vegetables.
Wei Shuyu and Wu Meiniang walked side by side, and soon they reached the inner city.
There is a moat in the inner city. There are carved stone railings around the moat, and there are rows of steps made of blue bricks. Looking around, you can see the breeze blowing, the lake surface is rippled, and the willow branches are swaying in the wind.
At noon, there were not many people around. The only ones along the way were Wei Shuyu and Wu Meiniang.
"Why did you choose to enter the palace?" Wei Shuyu suddenly asked as he walked.
"Want to live."
"Then why did you hit the wall?" Wei Shuyu asked again.
"Because I can't live anymore." Wu Meiniang walked side by side with Wei Shuyu and said bluntly without any hesitation.
"Haha, yes, because I can't live anymore, I choose to die. People who have died once will have nothing to fear. Fortunately..." Wei Shuyu chuckled to himself, but did not finish.
Wei Shuyu could probably guess that if it weren't for his own fault, Wu Meiniang would have turned dark after she was lucky enough to survive the collision.
Fortunately, it hasn't turned black yet...
"Send it here."
"Um!"
"You go first, I'll watch you go first." Wei Shuyu said.
Wu Meiniang nodded, bowed, turned and left.
After Wu Meiniang disappeared from sight, Wei Shuyu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled helplessly, "My eyes are firm, I want to achieve great things, and I am unwilling to place my fate on others. I have such a character and I can't change it."
"The purple energy of the Human Emperor in my body is several times richer than that of my capital, the Empress of Destiny."
Wei Shuyu didn't think too much about the love between his children. Now he should take the human race as his important responsibility. Wei Shuyu turned around and walked towards Qinhuai Taoist Family.
…
Wu Meiniang was walking home alone and passed by the moat. Her delicate face looked very plain.
Wu Meiniang probably didn't have much feelings for Wei Shuyu, at least...he didn't look like a dandy from Chang'an City, and he seemed polite and polite when he came today.
However, after only a moment of contact, who would know that this politeness is not just an act?
Wu Meiniang was unwilling to accept her fate, but she had no choice but to face the imperial power. She could only sigh slightly in her heart, "Since I don't have any ill feelings towards Wei Shuyu... I will probably..."
On her way home, Wu Meiniang passed by the moat bridge. Several old women gathered around and talked about today's lively events.
"Old sisters, did you see it today? Duke Wei went to Duke Ying's house with a large amount of betrothal gifts."
"Really very angry."
"I heard that it is a betrothal gift for the daughter of the Duke, and your Majesty personally agreed to it."
"But why did I hear that Duke Ying's second daughter and her mother were kicked out? Then why did you go to Duke Ying's mansion?"
"Shhhh, you don't want to die?"
"Even if you are kicked out, you have to go to Duke Ying's mansion. You can't go to that woman's house for a job, right? How can you receive her in a few wooden houses?"
"It's extremely, it's extremely..."
Wu Meiniang passed by and listened to the woman's discussion. She couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart. She said silently: "Duke Zheng went to Duke Ying's mansion? And he came to his home?"
At this moment, Wu Meiniang didn't know what Wei Shuyu meant by doing this. He was thinking about himself and his mother...
An inexplicable warm current flowed through inadvertently, touching the girl's deeply hidden heart.
…
Yiguo Gongfu, Qin family.
This is the headquarters of Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.
When Fang Xuanling found out that Fang Yiai had started a business, she was so angry that she fainted. Naturally, she could not treat the Fang family as the headquarters of the chamber of commerce.
Cheng Chumo's family is suitable, but Cheng Yaojin, an old killer, is very good at taking advantage, so Wei Shuyu is worried.
Qin Qiong died the year before last. Qin Huaidao succeeded the Duke of Guo and is now the head of the Duke of Guo's Mansion. It would be most appropriate for the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters to be placed in the Duke of Yi's Mansion.
The main hall of Duke Yi's Mansion.
Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai has arrived.
"Shu Yu, why did you come so slowly today?"
"Half an hour late!"
"Beat to death!"
Wei Shuyu chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I went to see my wife today."
"What? Going to see my wife? Damn it, why don't you call me brothers?"
"Unkind!"
"By the way, what does the little lady from the Wu family look like?"
Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo, and Fang Yiai opened their eyes wide and asked mischievously.
Wei Shuyu's face became serious and solemn, "The beauty of the country is fragrant, the country is beautiful, the world is stunning, the beauty is incomparable, okay, that's all."
"Haha! Just blow it!"
"Haha, now let's get down to business, how's it going?"
Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo, and Fang Yiai also became serious and replied:
"The soap workshop is almost ready. It achieved mass production yesterday. The peak daily output is about 5,000 yuan."
"The mosquito coil workshop achieved mass production the day before yesterday, and the current peak output is about 100,000 pieces."
"The perfume workshop is also ready. It reached mass production yesterday and now has a daily production capacity of about 500 bottles."
Wei Shuyu listened to the report of the three brothers with a chuckle on his face, "It only took half a month to build the workshop, organize the manpower, and achieve mass production. It's been hard work."
What Wei Shuyu wanted to say more was that the power of the Duke's Mansion... was really great!
Chapter completed!
