Shen Qingyu agreed to Princess Hanlian's purchase request, and then reminded her calmly: "Five thousand taels of silver. Are you going to give me silver? Or a banknote?"
Princess Hanlian: "..."
Who goes shopping with five thousand taels of silver?
She had to wait here like Li Jiaoyue and let her maid go home to get the money.
Not long after, Li Jiaoyue's guards brought the money. Li Jiaoyue asked the guards to carry the box onto the carriage and left first.
Princess Hanlian’s money was not delivered for a long time.
Shen Qingyu didn't have the patience to wait that long: "I wonder how far the princess's home is from here?"
Princess Hanlian expressed her embarrassment: The distance between her home is much closer than that of Li Jiaoyue!
Why hasn't it come yet?
Could it be that your parents don’t agree?
When she thought of her mother's shrewd and calculating temperament, she panicked: If her mother disagreed, she would be embarrassed and embarrassed!
Fortunately, the maid finally came back, but who knew she brought the steward of the mansion with her.
Princess Hanlian's face turned dark when she saw the steward.
Mom, you don’t trust yourself!
Li Jiaoyue asked for money, and the family handed the money over to the escort without saying a word.
I wanted money to buy the same thing in the same amount, but my family asked the housekeeper to deliver it in person.
It's so embarrassing.
But now that the matter was over, she couldn't vent her anger on the housekeeper in front of outsiders, so she could only hold back her anger and ask: "Have you brought the money?"
The butler's face was full of smiles, but his words were not polite: "Back to the princess, I brought the silver. Madam asked me to come over and ask what it looks like? Can I let me take a look? The princess is young...
…”
Shen Qingyu smiled and glanced at the housekeeper: "It is necessary to inspect the goods when buying them. Just take a look."
So I pushed the small box on the desktop over.
The housekeeper opened the box and was amazed when he saw the handmade soap rising over the sea: "Is this soap?"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Yes. The effect is the same as goat milk skin care soap, but it looks better."
Contempt flashed in the housekeeper's eyes: "That's just soap. Just this soap, and it costs five taels of silver a piece? Princess Qingyu is really a good businessman!"
Shen Qingyu understood: Is this a bargain?!
But... I don’t want to serve you.
So Shen Qingyu nodded seriously: "Yes, I also think this thing is too expensive and flashy."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment: This...how do you steal my line?
Without waiting for the housekeeper to say anything, Shen Qingyu smiled and pushed the small box in front of Princess Hanlian: "This piece of soap is considered a gift from me to the princess."
"If the housekeeper wants more practical soap, why not wait until next time? Cheap soap will be delivered in a few days. It only costs a few hundred coins to buy such a large piece."
Shen Qingyu said and picked up the tea cup.
The housekeeper froze: "!!!"
Princess Hanlian glared at the housekeeper: It's over, now the shame has been thrown to Daqi!
Everyone will say that their parents are very smart and even have to negotiate the price to buy a soap.
But in terms of face, Princess Hanlian couldn't get angry, so she had no choice but to hold back her anger, say goodbye to Shen Qingyu, and turn around to go home.
However, Shen Qingyu stopped her, handed over the small wooden box placed on the table, and went to the next door to get five pieces, a total of six pieces of handmade soap.
When giving the handmade soap to Princess Hanlian, Shen Qingyu had a sincere expression: "Princess Hanlian, this is a little thought from me. Please don't be polite. You can use it when you take it back to wash your hands and play with it."
Princess Hanlian was embarrassed and reluctant to refuse, so she finally accepted it and almost escaped from the Sifang Pavilion.
The Duke of Yue's wife was also dumbfounded when she saw the Sea Rising Moon handmade soap that her daughter brought back.
It’s just a piece of soap, why do you make it so exquisite and picturesque?
If the output is really very small and only used by a few noble families, five taels of silver is nothing...
But she had already asked the housekeeper to bring the money and tried to bargain. Why did Princess Qingyu reject it immediately after a disagreement?
Whose business is not settled through negotiation?
Besides, with so much money, isn’t it normal for you to bargain yourself?
She was so angry that she couldn't help but glare at Princess Hanlian: "For such an expensive thing, you don't know how to counteroffer first, so you just ask for a thousand yuan?"
Princess Hanlian was very aggrieved: "Li Jiaoyue didn't counter-offer. He actually gave five thousand taels of silver and walked away with a thousand pieces of handmade soap. How can I bargain? Is our family not as good as Li Jiaoyue's?"
The Duke of Yue's wife: "...It's no wonder."
The price sold to Li Jiaoyue was 5,000 taels of silver and 1,000 pieces of handmade soap. If the price was immediately reduced if sold to herself, then Shen Qingyu would have offended Li Jiaoyue and the general's mansion behind her.
I wouldn't do this kind of thing if I were someone else.
But if this is the case, wouldn’t it be cheaper if I buy it later?
The Duke of Yue and his wife could not help but be angry with Li Jiaoyue for disrupting the market.
The thousand yuan that Li Jiaoyue bought from Haishengmingyue was immediately divided into shares of different sizes and sent to various households close to him.
Because of the high appearance and practicality of this handmade soap, everyone with whom I have made friends thanked them one after another and gave many gifts in return. The value is high and not low. Moreover, they repeatedly invited Li Jiaoyue to come to their home next time to participate in flower appreciation poems.
Yes.
The general's wife laughed so hard that her face broke out: "Oh, if I had known that this little handmade soap would make them all look up at the moon, I would have bought another thousand yuan!"
Li Jiaoyue, however, was not interested: "Mom, you can do it! I'm really not interested in the poetry and flower appreciation party."
"You don't need to discuss the marriage? If you don't let others see how good you are, how can the young masters from high-ranking families know how good you are?" The general's wife immediately turned black.
Li Jiaoyue: "...How about I compete in martial arts to find a bride?"
"I asked you to discuss marriage, not to recruit troops to fight! What kind of martial arts competition are you doing?"
Li Jiaoyue raised her chin frivolously: "Then you can find someone who cares about you every day, so you won't be afraid that I will get angry and just beat him to the ground?"
General's wife: "..."
When Li Jiaoyue left the yard, the general's wife worriedly asked the grandmother beside her: "Girl, what do you think we should do?"
Mammy thought for a while: "How about finding a young general under the general's command?"
The general's wife glared at Grandma: "Do you want her to continue to live like me, waking up every night?"
When the man goes out to fight, the wife stays awake all night at home, always worrying that she will wake up as a widow.
It is precisely because of this kind of hardship that the general's wife wanted to find a scholar for her precious daughter, so that she would not have to worry about being buried in horse leather.
But when you look at your daughter, do you mean to look down on that weak scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken?
The general's wife's eyes suddenly twitched and she asked her mother in shock: "Tell me, is that damn girl secretly committed to someone?"
Grandma was also taken aback and stammered: "No... it's impossible, right? Who does the eldest lady... fall in love with? A young general in the army? A young master from a family of military generals?"
"Madam, Princess Fangyi is here." The maid ran in to deliver the message. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard cheerful laughter outside the door.
"Aunt? I'm here!" A petite and graceful woman walked in briskly.
