Chapter 444: If you can’t change, continue your career.
Coming out of Tianyun Pavilion, Wei Ruo walked away quickly, Xiumei followed behind, and waited until she was far away.
Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, why didn't you just ask King Jing about the Ninth Prince?" "
Asking him probably wouldn't be of much use. Talking about the Ninth Prince is nothing more than sick, weird,... Cruelty, these three points are what people outside say. I have heard it countless times, and my ears are starting to feel numb." "
But His Highness King Jing should have more contact with the Ninth Prince, maybe he can know more. Some. Maybe you will also know why the emperor gave the young lady in marriage to the Ninth Prince." "
The Ninth Prince doesn't have much contact with outsiders. He is in poor health and has spent most of his time recuperating in his residence since he was found. King Jing may not know much about him. As for the emperor’s thoughts, I’m afraid I can’t find out anything. I’d rather not take the risk to ask King Jing, because if he notices something, the gain will outweigh the loss.” From the original
work As mentioned before, the current emperor is a very thoughtful monarch. After Queen Xu died, he no longer trusted anyone around him, including many of his princes.
This is also the reason why there has been no establishment of a reserve for so many years.
Unfortunately, there is no Ninth Prince in the original work, so Wei Ruo is still confused about the existence of this person.
Wei Ruo patted Xiumei's arm: "It's okay, your lady, I won't be defeated so easily. Even if I can't change the fact that I was given a marriage for the time being, your lady, I won't be negative and decadent because of it."
"Well, I know, miss, you will only be defeated, but you will not be knocked down!" Xiumei replied.
Wei Ruo smiled: "Let's go and see my rouge and gouache shop. Forget about those things that you can't understand for the time being. You should use this time to make money." She couldn't change her marriage for the time being, but
she She didn't want to just be idle, so she continued to be busy when she should be busy.
In this way, even if she can't change her fate of marrying someone she doesn't want to marry, she can still do what she wants to do while she can live happily and earn some money for herself to save.
Wei Ruo named the rouge and gouache shop that was about to open, Taiyueju, and the address he chose was relatively remote, not in the bustling center, but in an inconspicuous corner at the end of Baihu Avenue.
There is a shop in the front and a large yard in the back.
It cost Wei Ruo five thousand taels of silver to buy it, which was a lot of money for Wei Ruo at this stage.
There are two things that Wei Ruo likes about this place. First, although the shop is a little off, it is the only way to get to the center of Baihu Avenue.
Secondly, the courtyard behind the shop is relatively large. Wei Ruo used it as a workshop for producing rouge and gouache and a place to house the Zhao brothers and others.
The Zhao brothers and the six villagers from Shitou Village who came with them have been busy here for a while.
They currently produce four products: skin care balm, whitening cream, peach blossom rouge, and blue wind chime perfume.
Among them, she has been selling the skin care cream in Tongdetang for a while, and the sales volume is considerable. When her rouge and gouache shop opens, the skin care cream can attract traffic to her and help her build a reputation.
Wei Ruo came to the courtyard. The originally empty courtyard and the houses on the east and west sides had been transformed into production areas and warehouses for storing raw materials.
Seeing Wei Ruo arriving, Zhao Hai, who was busy chopping firewood, stood up to greet him.
"Young Master!" Zhao Hai smiled with a simple and honest smile that was filled with excitement.
"How is your brother doing lately?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Thanks to the young master, my brother is in good health now and will take the exam soon. I will let him study peacefully in the back room." Zhao Hai replied. "Well, you ask him to prepare well. The exam is the most important thing. He doesn't need to worry about other things for the time being." Wei Ruodao.
"Thank you Shaodong family for your concern! I don't know how to thank Shaodong family. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to accompany my brother to the capital. My brother wouldn't have such a good place to study and prepare for the exam." Zhao Hai said with a grateful face.
"I just need you to come to the capital to help me, so don't take it too seriously."
After saying that, Wei Ruo asked Zhao Hai to tell her about the current work arrangements in the workshop, not only to understand the progress of the workshop, but also to inspect Zhao Hai. Whether Hai has arranged the work correctly and properly.
"In the young master's house, these are mortars used to grind materials, and Ah Fu is now in charge of them; the large boiler over there is used to boil the mixed liquid, and the iron lid on top is used to collect the steamed perfume, which is controlled by the big boiler. Zhuang is in charge; the materials are prepared here, and the work is fine. Achang is doing it. He used to be an apprentice in a pharmacy and has experience in this..." Zhao Hai looked simple and honest,
but he didn't know anything about the work arrangements in the workshop. Unambiguous, organized and accurate.
Wei Ruo smiled and said, "You made the arrangements?"
"This..." Zhao Hai scratched his head.
"Is it arranged by your brother?"
"I still can't hide it from you, my young master." Zhao Hai looked embarrassed.
"It's okay, you have what you're good at." Wei Ruodao.
Although Zhao Hai is not smart enough, he is very down-to-earth and willing to work hard. If Wei asked him to be in charge, he would take the lead in everything and set an example, so he was very convinced by his subordinates.
Zhao Hai became more and more embarrassed and lowered his head with a smile.
She walked around the workshop to make sure everything was going according to her plan, and then went to the front shop to look at the progress of the decoration.
The entire shop was divided into three areas by Wei Ruo:
The first is the guest's rest area, which is decorated like a tea room, with a warm, comfortable environment and good privacy.
Because her target customers are the dignitaries in the capital, and if she wants to sell them things at high prices, she must first make them feel happy.
Those ladies naturally don’t want to mix with strangers when they go into the store to buy things. It is very important to create a comfortable environment for them to use the products.
Next is the display area. Although there are not many types of products sold in the shop, each one is of high quality, so the introduction of the products cannot be careless.
The shelves where the products are placed are carefully designed. In addition to displaying samples, there are also explanation boards next to them to explain the origin and efficacy of the products.
Finally, there is the checkout area, which consists of the cashier's storage room. There is nothing special about this area.
After leaving Taiyueju, Wei Ruo headed towards Caiyunjian again, because Wei Ruo did not plan to open a shop selling fabrics directly, but planned to take the materials to Caiyunjian and sell them for a period of time.
She came here today to see if she had a chance to talk to Caiyunjian's boss.
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Ruo heard a familiar voice...
