Chapter 51: The Young Lady of the Marquisate as the Backing 3
The two discussed it and decided that it was not convenient for Luo Chen to do business under the name of the Marquisate and he could only register it under the name of the princess.
Qi Xuanting was in charge of running the shop and Luo Chen was in charge of making the soap. They split the profits 50-50, but Qi Xuanting insisted that she was getting a good deal and wanted to split the profits 37-30 with Luo Chen. Luo Chen was touched and after much persuasion, they settled on 46-47.
When Qi Xuanting returned, she brought the remaining soap back to the palace, preparing to give it to the concubines in each palace and some ladies from outside the court.
After all preparations were completed, the queen gave a shop selling rouge and powder under her name to Qi Xuanting. The queen also had selfish motives. Although her daughter was a legitimate daughter and was favored, the dowry given by the royal family was fixed.
She also wanted to leave something to her only son, the crown prince, so she would always owe her daughter something. Now that there is such a way to make money, the queen is also very happy that her daughter will have more money when she gets married.
The emperor was also very satisfied with Luo Chen. He and the queen rewarded Luo Chen with a large number of things, so that others would see that although Luo Chen was an orphan, she had the support of the royal family and no one dared to look down on her. Some people even felt sorry for Luo Chen because she was engaged at such a young age. Now even the Fu family benefited from it. Mrs. Fu even came to visit Luo Chen in person.
As soon as the soap came out, it immediately caused a craze in the whole Kyoto. The wives and daughters of high-ranking officials all came to buy it. In just two months, the cost price was recovered. The princess came to Luo Chen with the silver, and the two discussed what to do next.
After all, as a former female president, she naturally had her own business acumen. The well-thought-out plan and improved accounting method caught Qi Xuanting's attention, and she immediately sent it to the prince.
A few days later, Luo Chen received rewards from all sides.
When everything was on track, Luo Chen took out all the military books collected by his father to study, and then practiced her own family martial arts. She planned to go to the border town as soon as she finished her mourning. Since she had power in the army, why should she give it to others? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for herself?
Time flies and it is the day of mourning. Luo Chen went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and empress, and was talked to by the two for a long time.
Queen: "Luo Luo, you are already sixteen in the blink of an eye. You will be able to get married soon. When I finish arranging Tingting's wedding, I will arrange yours."
Luo Chen lowered her head and acted shy: "Thank you, Queen. Sister Ting's marriage is a big deal, so it must be properly arranged. I am not in a hurry."
The queen smiled and said, "If you are not anxious, some people may be. I kept Tingting until she was eighteen, and I wanted to keep you until eighteen, but the boy from the Fu family is nineteen this year, and he will be twenty-one in two years. He can't wait."
Luo Chen didn't think much of it. She had someone secretly observe the male and female protagonists over the past two days and discovered that they had started to have a quarrel.
Since there was no soap this time, Li Menglan still made some rough soap and sold it to the common people who could not afford soap for five cents each. In the past six months, she only earned more than fifty taels of silver, and she really didn't know how to do anything else.
With no one to help transport the goods, she could only sell them to local people in Kyoto. However, one product could only be used for several months. She made some money when it was first released, but not later. Fu Zigui felt that it was not worth wasting manpower to send the products to other places.
After all, it was not a valuable item, and transporting things in ancient times was much more troublesome than it is now, so she was asked to sell it locally. Li Menglan was a little unhappy at first, but she did not have the ability to transport it out by herself, so she had to give up.
When she first arrived and saw Xiang Soap, she thought she was a fellow villager who had traveled through time, but she couldn't see the princess, so she gave up.
Although the two had been living together in such a dull manner for half a year, Fu Zigui was still attracted by Li Menglan's enthusiastic personality. They fell in love with each other. On the day when Luo Chen was released from mourning, Li Menglan's fifth sister told Li Menglan that Luo Chen was Fu Zigui's fiancée.
For this reason, Li Menglan went to Fu Zigui to confirm and wanted to end the relationship. She was a modern person and could not tolerate her husband taking a concubine, so she did not dream of marrying into the royal family. Li Menglan was still very clear-headed on this point. She thought Fu Zigui would be a good man, but she did not expect that he had a fiancée.
After Fu Zigui had been chasing him and explaining to Li Menglan many times that this was decided by his family against his will and that he didn't like Luo Chen at all and that he would definitely go back and cancel the engagement, Li Menglan finally relented and told him to cancel the engagement and then come back to her.
Fu Zigui immediately went back and told his parents about the broken engagement, but his parents scolded him severely and told him not to even think about it. Later, Mrs. Fu realized something was wrong and sent people to investigate, only to find out that her son had been seduced by the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official.
After being rejected, Fu Zigui went to the Weilie Marquis' Mansion and broke off the engagement himself.
Luo Chen is practicing martial arts. She plans to go to the border town after attending Qi Xuanting's wedding.
The servant came to report that Fu Zigui had come. Luo Chen calculated the time and realized that this man had come to cancel the engagement.
When she walked into the hall, Fu Zigui was sitting on a chair waiting for her.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
When Fu Zigui saw Luo Chen coming out, he was a little dazed for a moment. He didn't expect that after not seeing her for three years, Luo Chen had grown into a beautiful woman, but her temperament was still the same as when she was a child, gentle and virtuous, which made Fu Zigui a little disappointed.
"Cousin, I came here today to discuss our marriage."
Luo Chen was surprised: "Shouldn't our marriage be decided by our elders? Why did you come here by yourself?"
"Cousin, I'm here today to cancel the engagement."
"What did i do wrong?"
"You're not wrong. I already have a girl I like. We won't be happy together."
"Cousin, we met each other when we got engaged, so it wasn't a blind marriage. You didn't seem to be reluctant at all at the time. I remember you were quite happy. Am I right?"
Fu Zigui nodded awkwardly: "I remember correctly, but I didn't have anyone I liked at that time, so naturally..."
Having said this, Fu Zigui couldn't continue.
Luo Chen laughed out loud: "So you think of me as a backup plan? If you don't have someone you like, you'll marry me, and if you do, you'll kick me away. Who do you think I am?"
Fu Zigui stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Luo Chen: "Cousin, I know this is my fault, but feelings really can't be forced, I must withdraw from this marriage."
"What if I don't agree?" Luo Chen looked at him.
"Cousin, don't be stubborn. There is no good outcome for us. Let's part ways amicably now, otherwise it will be bad for you if there is a quarrel."
After saying this, Fu Zigui placed the engagement token on the table and left.
He even threatened her. She wanted to see who would be harmed in the end.
Luo Chen told Madam Fu what happened today, saying that her son was showing off in Marquis Weilie's Mansion. Madam Fu was so angry that she immediately called her son back and refused to cancel the engagement no matter what.
