On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

In the evening, Song Xile went to Patriarch Chen's house again.

When she arrived at the house of Patriarch Chen, she immediately saw the women sitting together in the yard. They all had needles and threads in their hands, busy making custom brush heads.

The women sat together, needles and threads flying in their hands, and soon, a toothbrush was made!

Seeing Song Xile coming, Cao immediately put down her work and went to greet him, "Xile, you've come just in time, come and see how the toothbrushes we made are."

Song Xile took a toothbrush, examined it carefully, and praised: "Aunt, your craftsmanship is really exquisite. The stitching on the brush head is meticulous and the bristles are soft. This is it!"

The woman in the courtyard was relieved when she heard her say this, and couldn't help asking, "Can this thing really make money?"

Song Xile nodded, "Don't worry, aunties. I can't guarantee the long-term, but as long as the tooth powder business is good, you won't have to worry about the sales of your toothbrushes!"

"Just one thing, after a while, when everyone knows about this way of making money, whether they will spread it or others will learn from it, it's not certain!"

"We all understand all this. This is how business works. There's no reason why only we are allowed to do it and not others. But I still want to make one thing clear up front. If anyone among us publicizes this practice, don't blame me for not letting her forgive her!" Cao said solemnly.

The women nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will never do anything to ruin your reputation. Not to mention that Auntie will not forgive such a treacherous villain, we will not agree to it either!"

The women nodded in agreement!

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Song Xile said goodbye and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to instruct Cao: "I will bring the brush head over early tomorrow morning. Auntie may bring it to me tomorrow morning."

Cao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll send it to you later!"

"Then I'll wait for Auntie, and Auntie can just knock on the back door to avoid disturbing the concierge!"

Cao naturally agreed readily.

As dusk fell, there was a knock on the small door in the backyard. Chen Yunyou heard the noise, put down his book, and went to open the door, but Song Xile got there first.

"It should be Aunt Cao coming to deliver the toothbrush. I'll just go!" After saying that, he stood up and went out to greet her.

When Song Xile opened the back door, he saw Cao holding a large basket in her hand, and in the basket were the freshly made toothbrushes.

Song Xile took the basket with a smile, "Thank you for bringing it here so late."

Cao waved her hands and said with a smile: "This is not hard work at all. It is much easier than working in the fields. If we have to thank you, we should thank you for teaching us how to make money!"

She pointed to the toothbrushes in the basket and said, "Look at these toothbrushes. Are they okay? If there is no problem, let's continue doing it this way tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Song Xile took a few and took a look. The handles were polished to be very round and smooth, and most importantly, the brush heads were tightly arranged and soft, which was much better than she expected!

"That's fine. Let's make it according to this quantity tomorrow. I'll go to the county town tomorrow to check the sales situation. If it's good, I'll notify everyone to increase the quantity."

Upon hearing this, Cao's eyebrows curved with joy and she nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely do as she asked.

The two chatted for a while before Cao left with the empty basket.

Song Xile returned to the house carrying a toothbrush. Chen Yunyou picked up a toothbrush curiously and looked at it for a long time.

"Xi Le, you know what, this little thing is really cleverly made! I think it should be easy to sell!"

Having said that, people of this era were still unfamiliar with items like toothbrushes.

She knew very well that what she needed to do now was to make a breakthrough from zero to one. In order to make people accept and use toothbrushes, she had to work hard to change people's inherent mindset.

She returned to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and began to draw a detailed diagram of the steps to clean the mouth.

She first drew a large outline of the mouth, then carefully depicted the shape and arrangement of the teeth. Then, she used arrows to indicate the order and method of brushing teeth, from the front teeth to the back teeth, from the outside to the inside, showing the correct way to brush teeth step by step.

After drawing the step-by-step diagram, she listed the benefits of using a toothbrush in detail!

Song Xile kept working, she was going to draw more to use as tomorrow's promotional leaflets.

She was not worried that people who received the drawings would not be able to understand them, because most of the drawings were patterns, and the pictures were vivid and lifelike, so even an illiterate old farmer could know what was drawn on the picture!

Chen Yunyou, who was standing aside, was even more curious when looking at the pattern drawn by his wife. He didn't expect that there were so many ways to clean the mouth!

Seeing that his wife's hands were still moving, he sat down next to her, picked up a sketch, and started painting just like her!

The couple was busy until the hour of Hai, then they washed up and went to bed!

The next day, the two got up early, ate breakfast, and discussed going to the county town today!

"I will go to the county town with my elder brother in a while. If I come back late today, you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

"I'll go to the county town with you!"

Chen Yunyou was worried that his wife would not agree, so he continued to explain: "The provincial examination is coming soon, and I want to go to the bookstore to see if there are any official newspapers for sale!"

As an important carrier for transmitting government information from the central government to local governments, the hot topics of the court bulletins were often used in policy essays in the imperial examinations to test students' understanding of current affairs and their ability to analyze them.

Therefore, for any student taking part in the imperial examination, information about current affairs cannot be ignored!

Although Song Xile had never taken the imperial examination, he had heard of the importance of the court bulletin.

She nodded: "In that case, let's go together!"

As the couple was talking, Song Ping came to the door carrying a bamboo basket.

Seeing his elder brother being ushered in by the doorman, Song Xile immediately went to greet him, "Brother, it's so early, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat more?"

Song Ping waved his hand, "I had breakfast and left!"

At this time, Chen Yunyou brought a bowl of water over and said, "You've come such a long way, so drink some water first, uncle. We'll go out after we finish breakfast!"

Song Ping sat down at the table and said, "Don't worry, eat slowly, it's still early!"

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Song Xile picked up the toothbrush and flyers that he had prepared yesterday, and the three of them went out!

After the three of them paid the entrance fee and entered the city, Song Xile was not in a hurry to go to Renyitang, but first accompanied her husband to Moxiangzhai in the city.

When the bookstore owner saw Chen Yunyou, he immediately came up to him warmly and said, "I haven't congratulated you on winning the first place in the county case yet. I wonder if you are here to buy books today?"

Chen Yunyou politely bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "I wonder if the shopkeeper has any imperial newspapers here?"
