Chapter 958 - 956 Interrupt
Who in this world ever thinks they have too much silver? The Huang family didn’t think much of it, they simply thought it was something they used to make casually for fun, and now it could make them money, so why wouldn’t they agree?
The two families signed a contract, but the Huang family was shrewd and held on to the recipe, only stating in the contract the amount of rouge and powder to be produced each month.
The owner of the Rouge and Powder Shop had no objections, and thus the business started.
Because this rouge was indeed excellent, and the owner was good at business, they claimed that the recipe was learned from the Capital City, used only by the noble patrons’ wives and daughters there.
The young women and wives of Jing County couldn’t stop praising the rouge and powder after using them, making that Rouge and Powder Shop the most successful business in Jing County.
Later on...
Xiao Wu had just gotten to this part of the story when Lady Huang came out with silver in hand. Upon hearing Xiao Wu’s voice, her expression changed, and she came running over, pulling Xiao Wu aside and scolding softly, "What are you babbling to the noble patron about?"
Meanwhile, she apologized to Wang Yongzhu: "Scholar’s Lady, this child of ours must have heard some street rumors from who knows where and took them for truth, thus came to spout nonsense before you. Please don’t take it seriously, this is nothing but a child’s gibberish!"
Then she took her leave: "I’ve noted down all the flowers and plants the Scholar’s Lady wanted; I’ll prepare them and make sure to choose the best for you! I won’t disturb the lady any longer, I shall take my leave now!"
After saying this, she bowed to Wang Yongzhu and dragged Xiao Wu away.
Xiao Wu was still a bit reluctant, struggling as if he wanted to say something more, but Lady Huang covered his mouth directly and dragged him out.
Once Lady Huang and Xiao Wu were gone, Gu Yu was about to close the courtyard gate when Song Chongjin returned with Gu Zikai.
