In the capital's Wu Family Palace, a silver-haired old lady was sitting on a chair. Opening the vermilion curtain, a beautiful woman walked in with two beautiful maidservants behind her. She was dressed in the most fashionable clothes in the capital.
Looking at the box on the table, a trace of disdain flashed across the woman's eyes. It seemed that the evil child had found something to please the old lady from that desolate place.
She twisted her hips to greet the old lady, who let her sit down as usual. "They're busy outside, and you've had a hard time taking care of them. "Since Ziyao has been sent to a place like that, as an aunt, you should always think of him. There must be a lot of people around during festivals, even if the manor is in short supply, he shouldn't be lacking anything."
"My daughter-in-law naturally knows that my nephew is suffering. He has everything that my children have in the house, and he also goes to such a faraway place every month. Mother, please don't think so much about him; you must be careful of your own health. Only by waiting for my nephew to come back can you be filial."
Old Lady Wu nodded with satisfaction and turned back to her old servant. "Go and fetch all the young ladies of the house. Tell them that their brother has brought them some small gifts. The letter is still thinking about them. "
"It seems like Ziyao is a good person. Even in a place like this, he can still think about his sister. I wonder what kind of good stuff he's giving her." There's nothing new about that sort of place, it's just rubbish.
The two of them sipped their tea and did not speak any further. Not long after, the sounds of girls joking came from outside. The curtain was drawn up, and the brightly colored girls filed in. "Second Brother's letter?"
The girl in red who was walking at the front had the best looks. She had a red mole at the corner of her eyes, making her look cute and cute. She and Wu Sinan were siblings of the same mother.
As soon as Old Mrs. Wu saw her, her eyes narrowed and she smiled as she beckoned her over. "Come and see what your brother has brought you."
The young girl skipped over to open the box on the table. The moment the box was opened, the fragrance from within filled the room.
"What is this?" Yun Wei picked up a small piece of milky-white solid and put it on her nose to smell it. The aroma of the milk was mixed with a faint fragrance of the flowers. It was very fragrant.
She took out a letter, "This is written by your second brother. It says that this thing is called soap, and it's best to use it for cleaning. After using it for a while, it will make your skin more delicate and white, and there will still be some lingering fragrance."
Hearing that this thing could make her skin pale and tender, all the women in the room became curious. A girl with even smaller skin and a bit of black walked up. "Fourth Sister, let me try!"
Yun Wei raised the soap in her hand so that she wouldn't touch it. Her eyebrows slightly tilted as she ordered the maidservants, "You guys go get a basin of water. Let grandma try it first."
Seeing that Yun Wei was concerned about her, Old Lady Wu quickly rejected her. "It's good enough for you girls. What's the use of a shriveled old woman like me?"
Once she said that, the little girl quickly said, "Grandmother looks like her mother, how are you old!? "Big sister Yun Wei was considerate, but Ning'er was rude. Grandmother, please use it first!"
Under the enthusiasm of all the women in the room, the old lady was disrespectful. She wet her hands and wiped them with soap. The mysterious thing was that after rubbing it a few times, the foam would come out and the fragrance would become even stronger.
Old Madam Wu only felt her palm slip. After rubbing it a few times, the originally white foam started to turn slightly yellow. She felt a little embarrassed. Ziyao said that this thing could be cleansed. Could it be that her hands had too much dust on them that made the foam dirty?
When she was done rubbing, she rinsed off the foam with water again. Old Madam Wu felt that her hands were abnormally clean and didn't feel sticky at all. When she smelled it, there was actually a sweet smell.
She was amazed. "This thing is magical!"
When everyone saw this miraculous transformation, they couldn't wait to give it a try. After everyone had washed their hands, they all felt extremely refreshed. It seemed that their hands were much cleaner than before.
"Wow, is this a specialty of second brother's place? It's so magical. If we can get more, we can not only use it for our families, but also sell it to others. It would probably be a huge business deal! "
Their Wu Family had relied on merchants to make a name for themselves and spread throughout the entire Nine Prefectures. And because they were as rich as a nation and had married a few daughters of officials, they now had their current status. Over the past few years, the men of the clan had always wanted to push their way into the imperial court, and very few wanted to inherit the clan's property.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at Yun Wei in satisfaction. "You think this soap can be sold?" To whom? How much? "How high is the bid?"
Mrs. Wu Shao sat at the side in disdain. She was very impatient with Old Mrs. Wu's ability to teach her children business at any time. She was obviously a superior family, yet she still had to put her full effort into the lowest profession. There was no saving her.
"Grandmother is asking for the wrong granddaughter. Yun Wei doesn't know the price of this soap, so how can it be priced?" However, from Yunwei's perspective, this soap was so magical that someone would buy it even if it was priced at 10 taels of silver. Why don't we write and ask second brother? "
The old lady looked at her with satisfaction, "In the midst of business, if you weren't a girl, I would have definitely given this huge fortune to you. It's a pity that your brother is also not a good person and doesn't care about his family business at all, sigh."
It's coming again! It's coming again! She had two sons and three daughters in her lap, and in the end none of them had come into the old lady's eyes! He even said something like "If you weren't a girl, how good would it be"! The damned old granny did not even think, if not for her marrying into Wu Family, her assets would still be a problem, they would not even have the chance to eat and drink! Now that her husband was fighting in the imperial court, she even had to take care of her family's property, and she actually raised an old ungrateful bastard! The thought of this dead old woman leaving everything to the descendants of the eldest family made her hate him to the core!
"Second brother still doesn't understand, maybe after going to that place for two years, he will know the hardships of the family and then he will come back to inherit the family property. Even though Big Brother's heart is not here, Big Brother is extremely smart. If we can inherit the family property, our Wu Family will sooner or later return to its former glory. "
"I'm afraid your brother isn't worried about that!" Thinking about her eldest son, Wu Sinan, who was in his twenties and still hadn't gotten married yet, Old Mrs. Wu only had one girl in her room. She hadn't brought anyone along yet, so how long was she going to live before she could have a grandson?
