Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Don't worry, after all, my brother is back, we can talk about business slowly, but my brother's feelings for my sister-in-law can't wait, sister-in-law, you should try it soon, I also want to see the effect of this Chixia Rouge."

Liang glared at her shyly, "Second sister-in-law, why are you joining in the fun?"

Shen Nankui blinked and said, "I don't have any."

Gu Qingrong pushed her towards the room and said, "Go ahead. You are already an old married couple, why are you still being so shy? Go and try on the rouge. It's time for me to go and see my mother."

After sending Liang into the house, Gu Qingrong went to Gu's mother's room.

Gu's mother had heard the noise in the yard a long time ago. Seeing that they were talking excitedly, she did not come out. Seeing that her eldest son returned safely, she felt relieved. She said a few words to Gu Qingrong before following him outside.

Not long after, Liang also came out after getting dressed up.

She re-combed her hair and put on the lotus crown given to her by Shen Nankui. Her makeup was just the right amount, her eyebrows were thin and long, her lips were rouge and bright, but her cheeks were lightly shadowed. The contrast made her complexion look even more rosy and radiant, as if she had looked several years younger.

Gu Qingrong was stunned and murmured, "Mother, you look like we were just married and didn't have any children yet..."

Shen Nankui also praised: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful."

Liang's facial features are not actually that outstanding, but they are pretty and regular. Now that she is dressed like this, she has a different kind of charm.

Hearing the two people praising her, Liang was happy but was too embarrassed to show it.

"I'm already a mother of two children, how can it be as exaggerated as you say? Stop teasing me, I dressed up like this just to try out rouge for my second brother and his wife. Don't just look at me, tell me whether this Chixia rouge is good or not."

Shen Nankui stepped forward and took her arm. "Yanzhi is good, and she is even better. Sister-in-law, even if you are the mother of two children, you are only in your twenties, which is the prime of your life. You should take time to dress up more in the future. You look really beautiful now."

Mother Gu interrupted, "You're married, not a girl. Why would you dress up like a nymphomaniac? Wouldn't that delay your work?"

Liang's expression darkened. She knew that her mother-in-law must be disgusted by her behavior.

Shen Nankui said, "Mother-in-law, that's not what you mean. Does it mean that once a woman gets married, she won't be allowed to dress herself up anymore?"

"You're already a wife, who are you dressing up for?"

"Show it to me!" Gu Qingrong replied, "Chunlan is my wife, of course she is for me to see!"

Mother Gu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think you are some kind of nobleman? Do you marry a wife just to show her off at home?"

Liang sighed and said, "Forget it, stop arguing. I will just not dress like this in the future."

"Sister-in-law, don't wrong yourself."

Shen Nankui shook her hand and said, "When we dress up, the main purpose is not to show it to others, but to make ourselves feel happy. Besides, even if we put on makeup, it won't interfere with our work, right?"

"If it's not a delay, then won't it cost a lot of money to buy these things?"

What Gu's mother cares about is the money.

Shen Nankui smiled slightly, "The deal in Jiangnan has been concluded. In the future, the last thing our family will lack is rouge and powder, so mother-in-law doesn't have to worry at all."

Mother Gu had no words to refute and did not comment.

Shen Nankui looked at Gu Qingrong and asked, "Brother, how much Chixia Rouge did you bring back this time?"

Gu Qingrong pointed outside and said, "Come with me and see."

When he got outside, Gu Qingrong patted the goods wrapped in oilcloth on the carriage and said happily, "This is the first batch of Chixia Rouge. There are five boxes in total, and each box has 100 boxes. Originally, there were not so many. Miss Tao took the remaining money and rushed to make another batch overnight."

Shen Nankui nodded, "It's more than I expected."

Gu Qingrong asked: "Second brother and sister-in-law, now that we have the goods, how do we sell them?"

"Pull the goods in first, and then we'll discuss this matter in detail."

Everyone worked hard to move all the goods into the house, and then they all gathered in the main room.

Gu Qingrong said, "Second brother's wife, I have an idea. My boss when I was working as an accountant owned a cosmetics shop. The texture of Chixia Rouge is quite good. He is not someone who doesn't know the value of things. If we sell it to him, I'm sure he won't refuse."

Mother Gu agreed, "That's a good idea. As long as the boss's employer is willing to buy it, wouldn't these five boxes of rouge be sold immediately?"

Not only can you get your money back immediately, but you can also make a fortune.

From this perspective, Gu Qingrong gained a lot from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

Liang's face was also filled with joy, and several people were happy about the money they were about to earn.

Shen Nankui shook his head and said, "No, we don't sell Chixia Rouge to others."

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Qingrong asked: "Second brother's wife, are you saying that we can only sell it ourselves?"

"That's right." Shen Nankui nodded.

Gu Qingrong asked: "We have never done business before and have no connections. How can we sell our products?"

Shen Nankui said: "Just use the simplest method, make a shelf and sell it on the street."

"A street vendor?"

Mother Gu frowned and glanced at Shen Nankui in confusion. "There is obviously a shortcut, why do you have to go through so much trouble? Everyone says you are smart, how come even I can figure this out, but you don't?"

If the boss's former employer could accept these Chixia Rouges, then all the goods could be sold out at once. Isn't such a simple method much better than keeping the goods in hand and then taking the trouble to sell them one by one?

Gu Qingrong and Liang also didn't understand and looked at her with confusion.

Shen Nankui met their gazes and said slowly, "This method is convenient, but when we sell goods to stores, it is equivalent to handing over the final pricing power to them. How is this different from being a middleman?"

"The future market for Chixia Rouge will surely be huge. What I want is to firmly hold all the profits of Chixia Rouge in my own hands. Think about it, whether it is Big Brother's former employer or someone else who wants to buy it in the future, if they want to sell it for a higher profit, they will definitely lower the price here. In this way, won't we be controlled by others?"

"And if we start from scratch, even if we only have a table as a stall and sell goods on the street, gradually, when we have saved enough capital, we can use it to buy a shop and open a store. As long as there is a steady stream of income, the business will grow bigger and bigger. One shop, two shops... or even spread the industry all over the city, it is not impossible. These are all real industries, which is better than having nothing and just selling to others again and again."

Several people were stunned.

Spread the industry throughout the city?

Is this something they can do alone?
