Chapter 157 Selling blood to make incense
She really didn't want to go out this year, but she didn't want to go out anymore. She just stayed with her sister in the mansion. Her sister is actually the hardest-working thing in the family.
At a young age, she has to work hard for the family's livelihood. She is useless. As a sister, she can't help her sister. She also has to worry about her dowry. She doesn't have much to do for her sister. Just accompany her here. Her father is not here, and A Ning only has two relatives, their brother and sister. The eldest brother is in the Weapons Department all day long. Sometimes if he is busy, it is possible that he will not go back to home for a few days, so there are only two sisters in the family. She also decided that she really won't go out and accompany her sister.
Just so happened that the Jun Palace sent some new furs to him a few days ago, so I used them as clothes.
Most of the clothes her A Ning all year round are made by her sister herself. She wants her sister to wear the most beautiful clothes, even in her own home, she must have the most beautiful clothes.
The mansion will make a lot of money every day. After one month, it will be at least tens of thousands of taels. But even so, the gold and silver in the warehouse are decreasing at a terrible speed. They have collected a lot of food, all of which are tens of thousands of dans. However, Shen Qingci still said that it is not enough. If it is not enough, just collect it again. Cotton coats have already started, and it is not easy to make tens of thousands of pieces. At most, it will take about half a year. As for charcoal, the harvest is very smooth. After all, no one wants such things in this season. Now that there are people who collect them, those charcoal burners are naturally happy. If they burn it for a summer, they can make a lot of money.
"Sister, someone has sent 100,000 taels of silver."
Madam He hurried over and found Shen Qingci in the incense room. Shen Qingci was making new incense inside. As soon as the new incense was released, she could make more money. She originally thought that all the money was enough, but why did she feel that it was not enough, and she had to pay more money.
When Madam He said this, she was surprised. Who sent the money? One hundred thousand taels was really not a decimal.
"It was sent by Prince Shuo."
Madam He replied, "The person who gave the money said that this was what Prince Shuo ordered, saying that their prince knew that our mansion was going to send winter clothes to the soldiers in the border. I am afraid that our money was not enough, so he sent these."
Prince Shuo? Shen Qingci remembered this person. It seemed that she had only heard of the famous person in her previous life, but she had never seen him. He was the blood of the eldest princess of the current dynasty and the nephew of the current emperor.
The eldest princess's son-in-law died in a battle. At that time, the eldest princess was pregnant for seven months. After hearing the bad news, she gave birth to Prince Shuo and followed her.
This Prince Shuo was raised by the Empress Dowager. When he was an adult, he didn't like the palace and never appeared in the capital.
However, I heard that this person is amazing in his talent, but he is not very famous, and he is not close to any officials. He has always been alone and does his own way. He has been remembering the past year, but he has never proposed a marriage, which has made the queen mother's hair white.
In the last life, Shen Qingci had some impression of Prince Shuo, but it was just because of these rumors. Even when she died, she had never seen Prince Shuo.
Even his name seems to have never been known.
This time he accidentally sent 100,000 taels of silver. It seemed that this was not the case in his previous life. It was because she took out her mother's dowry, making him think that their mansion was already poor.
But no matter what the reason is, she has recorded this love. If she has the chance, she will definitely repay her kindness.
"Sister, what should I do if I have this 100,000 taels of silver?"
Although Madam He said that she had seen more silver, there were millions of silver in the warehouse of Duke Wei's Mansion. She hadn't seen much in recent years, but the silver was a lot of gold. But she was still scared by the 100,000 taels of silver.
After all, this is someone else's.
"Please take it," Shen Qingci did not want to return it. "Since it was sent, just stay. It is easy to add icing to the bottom of the wall at any time, but it is difficult to provide timely help."
As for these silver...
"Madam, please ask the butler to buy all the 100,000 taels of silver into grain and charcoal."
Madam He nodded, and she went there after a while, but she didn't quite understand why she had to buy these. I won't talk about the grain for now. How much is it given to the army? In fact, it's not enough. If you eat it openly, the appetite of those soldiers and generals is very terrible. However, these gold, silver, charcoal are all used by wealthy families. Can they burn it for the army?
She had just wanted to ask, but when she saw Shen Qingci standing there and continuing to stir incense, she stopped asking.
After Madam He left, Shen Qingci took out a silver needle and suddenly pricked it on his fingers, and then a blood bead oozed out.
She frowned slightly and dripped the blood bead into a jar.
There is a saying in the Lou family fragrance script that if the Lou family daughter uses blood as the fragrance, the fragrance will be distant and wonderful.
She didn't want to use this method to make incense, but no matter what, she really doesn't want to use her body to make incense. She is a universal incense, but it is not used like this. But she feels that although she has worked hard to make money, why is it not enough?
The housekeeper went to collect food from various places. I don’t know if it was because she collected too much or because the grain was still small. The more she collected, the more expensive the price. The more she collected, the more she felt that the silver was useless. No matter what, she had to overcome this difficulty first.
So she thought of this method: The fragrance would be very expensive, otherwise she would not have earned her so much money. The fragrance of the Lou family is good, but she is the only one who can adjust it.
She wanted to open Yipinxiang all day and earn more money, but if so, she wouldn't sell so much, and she wouldn't do anything inferior to her as a good one.
She wouldn't smash Yipinxiang's signature, so she could only do so.
Not long after, Yipinxiang did not close at noon, but opened the door to welcome guests all day long, and there were several new fragrances inside. When I walked away, the fragrance was almost fascinating. But I was a little unaware that people had already come over.
