Even the famous Embarrassing Lady, Mrs. Xing, heard the news and knew that Jia Cong's nanny Li had made money selling flower nectar outside. The powerful bosses in the mansion knew earlier.
It's just that they looked down on this benefit. The old lady and the second wife, Mrs. Wang, didn't react at all. Wang Xifeng just laughed and said, "You're just lucky," and didn't take it too seriously.
Mrs. Waiting for Xing was so cruel that she plucked all the flowers in the small garden of the first-class general's mansion, and she immediately became the laughing stock of everyone in the Rongguo mansion.
If it were normal times, Mrs. Xing would have been so embarrassed that she felt ashamed.
At the moment, she is obsessed with making money and has no time to pay attention to the gossip outside.
Even when the elder Jia She heard the news, he went to see the little garden with bare eyes. When he caught her, he slapped her violently, but he couldn't make Mrs. Xing change at all.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and the money is the biggest!
For the sake of money, Mrs. Xing was really willing to go out of her way to bear all the dissatisfaction and accusations from outside, so that the instigator Jia Cong did not encounter any trouble.
Sometimes, it feels quite good to cooperate with such a simple and direct being.
For Mrs. Chongxing's courage to resist thunder, Jia Cong had to help her earn a lot of money, otherwise it would be difficult for her to eat and drink for convenience in the future.
The flowers in the small garden are all expensive varieties, otherwise they would not be eligible to enter the small garden. Although the old man is unreliable, his taste is still very high.
The remote courtyard where Jia Cong lived became a temporary workshop for making floral dew. All the precious flowers picked from the small garden were stored here.
According to Mrs. Xing, Jia Cong's place is remote enough and is very conducive to confidentiality.
Didn't Jia Cong say that the secret of making floral dew would be revealed sooner or later? He might as well put it in his yard and make a fortune from these precious flowers first.
Not only that, the only people who make the flower dew are Nanny Li of Jia Cong and the little maid Ling Que, plus a member of Wang Shanbao's family, who can keep the secret to the greatest extent possible.
Jia Cong didn't take it seriously either. Mrs. De Xing worked enthusiastically and helped to check for leaks and fill them up from time to time, so that at least no big mistakes would be made in the early stage.
When the floral dew made from flowers picked from the small garden was put on the market, batches were released according to his instructions. Mrs. Xing, who had made a lot of money, became even more enthusiastic.
She also did not forget to give twelve taels of silver to Jia Cong, nanny Li, and the little maid Lingque, and twenty taels to her confidant Wang Shanbao's family, which was considered a 'big deal'.
As for Jia Cong, he didn't even get a copper coin, so he had a new understanding of the word "stingy".
You know, this time hundreds of bottles of flower dew were put on the market, which made Mrs.
He didn't care, Mrs. Xing finally moved the workshop where the floral dew was made, which saved Jia Cong from the 'suffering' of being invaded by the fragrance.
He helped plan everything Mrs. Xing had to do next.
Since we can no longer obtain a large number of reliable precious flowers to make high-end floral dew, we can only focus on mid- to low-grade floral dew.
Materials are everywhere, including wild flowers on the roadside and all kinds of flowers and plants in the mountains outside the city.
In this step, you have to expand the scale and try to collect enough flower reserves. Then push the mid- to low-grade flower dew into the market in one go to maximize the profits from this one-time transaction.
To do this, you need a lot of manpower and enough space. The most important thing is to have reliable manpower to help guard it, and there must be someone to watch the subsequent shipments.
Wang Shanbao's family and Wang Shanbao are both servants of the Rongguo Mansion, and they simply don't have that much free time and energy.
In addition, given the bad habits of people in the Rongguo Mansion, if we really want to hand over such a profitable business to the couple, we may not know who will make the biggest profit in the end.
Jia Cong suggested that Mrs. Xing continue to write letters to Jinling's brothers to come to Beijing to help, and this time it was Xing Zhong and his wife who were called.
It is said that not long ago, Mrs. Xing's biological brother Xing Dequan came to Beijing. Mrs. Xing did not let Jia Cong go to see him. After hearing that this guy took Lin Daiyu's family letter, he immediately returned south.
Jia Cong didn't have any bad thoughts about this. He really didn't want to meet Mrs. Xing's relatives, and he felt embarrassed just thinking about it.
From then on, most of Mrs. Xing's thoughts were spent on collecting flowers and making toilet water to earn money, and she had no energy to pay attention to Jia Cong, a bastard.
Jia Cong, nanny Li, and the little maid Lingque also completely escaped from the matter of making flower dew.
The wet nurse and the little maid were still a little unwilling, but he put all his thoughts on clan studies.
After school that day, before Jia Cong left, several younger brothers, headed by Jia Yun, came over and looked eagerly, holding in their hands several brand-new books filled with fragrant writing and ink.
"Have you finished copying them all?"
Jia Cong reacted immediately and said angrily: "Why, don't you dare to send it to Yawen Bookstore to change money?"
By the way, I had an agreement with the owner of Yawen Bookstore on the corner of Ningrong Street. As long as the handwriting is neat and there are no major omissions, you can exchange it for money with him. The price is not cheap.
From then on, several students in the clan school who were motivated and close to him occupied a corner of the school and wrote hard whenever they had time.
Jia Cong saw this and was quite satisfied in his heart.
These families are not wealthy, and it will be very helpful for them to experience the transformation of knowledge into real monetary benefits, which will be very helpful for their future study and progress. At least the motivation for learning will be different.
He is still willing to help ethnology students who are willing to make progress.
To be honest, as he deepened his understanding of the Daqing Dynasty in which Dream of Red Mansions occurred, he understood that reading was quite promising.
Not only being an official in the imperial examination, but also finding a job, there are considerable financial opportunities, which is better than living at the bottom of society.
"Yes, because this is the first time to copy books, in order to avoid accidents, we have spent a lot of time, and now we have almost completed our respective task of copying books!"
Jia Yun answered on behalf of a group of classmates and said with an embarrassed smile: "I just don't know if Yawen Bookstore is willing to accept the books we copied!"
Jia Cong didn't say anything. He took the manuscripts in their hands and read them one by one. His handwriting was neat and there were no omissions. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, as long as your manuscripts meet the requirements, he won't dare not accept them!"
With that said, he waved his hand and the group headed straight to Yawen Bookstore.
This scene attracted the attention of the other students in the family studies. Some of them who knew the inside story were full of disdain or indifference. Of course, there were also some who were envious. They just didn't want to believe that such a good thing could happen, so they didn't follow along and spend energy copying books.
