Chapter 225: Quick hands are good, slow hands are useless
Under financial pressure, Su Yunyan began to pull the abacus beads as soon as she returned to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to take stock of the properties in her name.
So far, the biggest source of my income is the two Baiwei hotels. The newly opened hot spring bathhouse has also passed the loss-making period and started to make a profit.
The makeup powder store jointly owned by Beauty Girl is also about to open.
Su Yunyan frowned, and there was a trace of majesty on her tender peach blossom face.
Su Yunyan secretly thought that before opening, she would use the name of the Goddess of Flowers to celebrate her birthday and advertise the makeup powder shop.
On that day, the green plum tree transformed into a real person, and coupled with the beautician’s personal experience, I believe ladies and ladies will flock to this makeup powder store!
There is also Baihua Printing Factory, the first batch of books printed are designated as "The Story of Gucheng" and "Book of Lu Ban"!
Su Yunyan's eyes flickered. Since this movable type printing technology was a gift from Lu Ban, then Lu Ban would definitely not mind and use his "Lu Ban Book" to make the printing factory famous!
This book is a strange book about civil engineering. It is said to be a cursed book.
Legend has it that Lu Ban went away for work and left behind his newlywed wife and parents at home. Lu Ban was very reluctant to leave his wife, so he used his superb skills to make a flying wooden kite that could travel between home and work.
As time passed, Lu Ban's wife became pregnant, but Lu Ban's parents thought it was cheating, so they had no choice but to tell the truth.
Father Lu was very curious and took a wooden kite to the Kingdom of Wu, but was beaten to death by the people of Wu Kingdom as a monster.
My wife was also curious and took a wooden kite to find Lu Ban. However, she was activated on the way. The amniotic fluid broke the wooden kite's spell and it fell from the air, killing one person and two people.
Among all the rumors, "The Book of Lu Ban" is also known as "the missing door". In the past, everyone avoided it like a snake or a scorpion, but now everyone is curious about it, but they can't find it anywhere.
Su Yunyan leaned on the rose chair, tapping her fingers on the desk, and ideas came to her mind one after another.
If the guests still have concerns about "The Book of Lu Ban" by then, then I will send people to spread the rumors, saying that this book is a gift from Lu Ban to my mother-in-law, and the curse on it must have been removed!
This can not only arouse people's curiosity, but also be very topical. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the printing factory to have a booming business!
Su Yunyan curled her lips, but saw the little maid greeting her from outside the door: "Greetings, Mrs. Hou."
Su Yunyan jumped up quickly, with no trace of the calculation on her face. She is clearly a cute and pretty little girl!
"Auntie, why are you here?"
Gu Nanxi opened the door and saw that Su Yunyan was doing everything as usual. She breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to Lu Mei behind her to bring over a bowl of lotus seed soup.
"As soon as you returned home, you ran into the yard without even having dinner. I thought something had happened."
Su Yunyan was treated like this by her mother Concerned, my heart was bubbling with joy: "There was something wrong at first, but now it's all solved."
"What happened?"
Naturally, Su Yunyan would not hide it from Gu Nanxi, and said honestly: "The eldest brother opened the academy to make money, and the second brother is about to fall into the gold selling cave where firearms are sold again."
Su Yu Yan sighed heavily, his words full of worry: "My mother's birthday is still half a month away. In this half month, the person who gave the gift must be there." It’s endless! This is also something that costs money. The person in the house is unreliable. It would be great if he doesn’t take money from the house!”
Gu Nanxi touched her nose. In the past, Su Xuanming and Su Yunting were always said to spend money lavishly, but for their birthday, they had already spent at least five thousand taels of silver!
Gu Nanxi is not sure whether it will continue to spread out next.
However, Gu Nanxi couldn’t bear to watch those timeless inventions disappear into the dust of history...
Su Yunyan buried her head in eating the love lotus seed soup that Gu Nanxi brought over, and did not notice the uncomfortable look on Gu Nanxi's face.
“Although my grandma’s family is rich, I can’t afford to spend money like this! My grandma always told me in the past that it’s just a waste of money, so I don’t want to think about how to expand my business so that I can earn more money for the government! ”
These words made Gu Nanxi feel even more uneasy. In such a huge prince's mansion, the burden of life actually falls on the shoulders of a teenage girl!
Would it be a little bad if I continue to lie down and show off?
Gu Nanxi took a rare moment of self-reflection.
After Su Yunyan finished the lotus seed soup, she took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth: "Auntie, just forget you have heard these words. Don't take it seriously. After all, we are children and cannot I have thought of leaving you homeless! This method will definitely make our Hou Mansion’s industry prosper!”
“Really?”
Su Yunyan nodded seriously, as long as he is thick-skinned enough, he can use the name of the gods! , why worry about things not working out? !
This birthday congratulations from the gods gave Su Yunyan a lot of inspiration. She just felt that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money!
If it can't be solved, add more money!
Gu Nanxi didn't know that Su Yunyan's outlook on life had undergone earth-shaking changes. Seeing Su Yunyan's expression so determined, she felt relieved.
After Gu Nanxi told Su Yunyan to rest early, she took Lu Mei back to her courtyard.
Along the way, the moonlight was clear, and everyone could see the road under their feet clearly even without lighting lanterns.
Gu Nanxi recalled that what she had done recently had indeed cost a lot.
"Lu Mei, next time someone comes to celebrate your birthday, please remind me."
Lv Mei's expression was distressed and helpless: "Master, I have reminded you."
Gu Nanxi Thinking of Lu Mei tugging on her sleeves several times, she couldn't help but feel guilty: "Then let's make a decision. The amount. From now on, the money in the money box cannot exceed two thousand taels!”
“When all this money is spent, we will no longer take it out!”
Lv Mei applauded naturally! : "My master is wise, just do what you said!"
In order to prevent Gu Nanxi from regretting it, Lu Mei took out the extra money from the money box as soon as she returned to the main courtyard.
When she thought that Gu Nanxi would give away the entire money box at every turn, Lu Mei scattered the two thousand taels into four money boxes, each containing five hundred taels.
In this way, even if the master has a good temper and wants to give a money box, he will only give away five hundred taels at most!
After doing all this, Lu Mei felt a little relieved.
There are no secrets in Kyoto, and naturally this matter was spread.
The atmosphere in Fuquan Teahouse became increasingly heated.
Except for some familiar old tea-goers, everyone else’s eyes were as guarded against others as if they were guarding against thieves.
“Have you heard about it?”
“I’ve heard about it!”
Everyone seems to be making a riddle, but they all understand each other.
"If you have a quick hand, you will have a slow hand!"
As soon as these words came out, most of the tea guests in the lobby of Fuquan Teahouse walked out at once!
The tea that Song Da brought up had not reached his mouth yet. Seeing this, he could only smile and shake his head.
Some people in the private room on the second floor of Fuquan Tea House are naturally impatient and can no longer care about anything else!
