Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

But Shen Nankui looked confident, as if she didn't think what she said was out of reach for the Gu family.

Gu Qingrong spoke first, "My second sister-in-law has always been foresighted. I will listen to her."

No matter it was the matter of accounts in the past or this time when he was asked to go to the south of the Yangtze River to discuss business, he was always impressed by the wisdom shown by his second brother's wife.

So, he trusted her decision.

Liang also nodded, "I will listen to my second brother and sister-in-law too."

Mother Gu frowned and stared at Shen Nankui for a long time before she said, "I don't understand business matters. Just do what you want. If you can really make money, I have no objection."

Shen Nankui smiled and said: "I will do my best not to let you down."

She looked at Gu Qingrong and Liang, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the sale of the goods."

Gu Qingrong patted his chest and said, "Second sister-in-law, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. As early as the moment I quit my job as an accountant, I was determined to obey your orders."

Liang also smiled and said, "It's almost winter now, there's nothing to do in the fields. I've never done any serious business except working in the fields. Second sister-in-law, as long as you don't mind my clumsiness, I'll do whatever you want."

Seeing that they trusted him so much, Shen Nankui was quite moved.

"Okay, as long as our family works together, we can definitely get it done."

Liang looked a little dazed, and smiled at her and said, "It seems that since my second brother's wife came into our family, our family has been getting better and better."

"Is that so?" Gu's mother asked suspiciously.

Gu Qingrong smiled and said, "Why not? I think my second brother's wife is the lucky star of our family. The private school, the account books, the business, which one didn't get better because of her?"

Mother Gu sighed slowly, and a hint of admiration gradually appeared in her eyes.

"That's true. Chuan'er's wife is a capable person."

The facts were all before her eyes and she had no choice but to admit it. For the first time in her life, Mother Gu felt that she had made the right choice in marrying her daughter-in-law.

Everyone sighed for a while.

Gu Qingrong asked again: "Second brother and sister-in-law, even if we have decided to sell rouge ourselves, how should we calculate the price of this box of rouge?"

Shen Nankui said: "A box of Chixia Rouge is sold for three taels of silver."

Several people took a breath of cold air.

"How much! Three taels of silver to buy a box of rouge?" Mother Gu's face was full of disbelief.

Liang shivered her lips and said, "This, this, this... isn't this a bit too expensive?"

The rouge and powder on the market are of medium quality and are sold for a few hundred coins per box. Most of them will not cost more than one or two taels of silver. Only the top-quality rouge will be sold at a high price of one or two taels of silver or more.

Although Chixia rouge is good, it is sold for three taels of silver per box, which is truly a sky-high price!

Gu Qingrong couldn't help but grumble, and whispered, "Second sister-in-law, no matter how good the Chixia Rouge is, it's just a rouge. Can it really be sold at such a high price?"

Several people looked incredulous, as if they had heard some fairy tale.

Shen Nankui nodded, "I'll sell it for three taels."

In the previous life, the Chixia rouge sold in the cosmetics shops in the capital was even sold for ten taels of silver per box. Compared with the previous life, three taels of silver was really not expensive.

She set the price at three taels, and she actually had her own considerations.

As the saying goes, "A tall tree attracts the wind." If the price is too high like in the previous life, this business will definitely arouse envy. If there is not enough strength, I am afraid it will not take long before it will be eaten up and divided up by various forces.

But if the price is too low, the preciousness of Chixia Rouge will not be reflected.

Three taels of silver is exactly in the middle. For those rich and powerful people, this little money is naturally nothing, and for those ordinary people, it is also something they can still accept after gritting their teeth. In this way, it will not attract too much attention and the business can be done steadily.

After hearing her reasons, several people were still a little shocked, but they also agreed with her logic.

Shen Nankui said, "Brother just came back from Jiangnan. It must be hard for you to travel all the way. It won't be too late to get back to business after you rest for a couple of days."

Gu Qingrong was filled with excitement, but he couldn't wait any longer.

He waved his hand and said, "No need. One day is enough. I have been busy for nearly two months. I also want to make money as soon as possible. Second brother's wife, please don't laugh at me. Only when I really get the money in my hands, I will feel at ease!"

Shen Nankui smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Everything was settled, but Mother Gu seemed to be in a dream. She was secretly calculating the account in her mind, but she couldn't figure it out...

A box of rouge costs three taels of silver, and five hundred boxes cost one thousand five hundred taels. After deducting the 30% that has to be shared with Miss Tao, the family still earns more than one thousand taels of silver.

More than one thousand taels...

She had never seen so much money in her life.

If Shen Nankui really succeeds, then wouldn't the Gu family be able to soar to new heights?

She was both excited and expectant. Not only did she not object, she also secretly prayed that things would go smoothly.

……

Everyone was very motivated and once the tasks were divided up, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Qingrong immediately got busy.

The two first bought a half-used container in the town and then went straight to the county town.

On the first day, the effect was not satisfactory. Only a dozen boxes of rouge were sold the whole day. For five consecutive days, the business of the stall was extremely bleak.

Gu Qingrong and his wife were somewhat discouraged.

Shen Nankui comforted him, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Just keep a normal mind and you won't have to worry about not meeting someone who knows what you are doing."

With her words, Gu Qingrong and his wife continued to do business in the county town with peace of mind.

After half a month, the Chixia Rouge, which was originally ignored, finally became famous. Many buyers were repeat customers. After using it once, they discovered the benefits of Chixia Rouge and came to buy it again.

By the end of October, all 500 boxes of Chixia Rouge were sold out.

After unanimous decision by everyone in the Gu family, the accounts of Chixia Yanzhi were handed over to Shen Nankui. On this day, everyone gathered in the main hall. After Shen Nankui sorted out the accounts, he divided the silver into several parts.

"These four hundred and fifty taels of silver are Miss Tao's share, these one hundred and twenty taels are the wages and dividends for my eldest brother's trip to the south of the Yangtze River and for selling rouge, these eighty taels are for my eldest sister-in-law, and the remaining one hundred taels are for my mother-in-law to use and are part of the public expenses...Does anyone have any objection?"

No one responded.

Gu Qingrong and Liang were stunned.

The couple received a total of 200 taels of silver, but Shen Nankui just gave it to them like that?

Liang was both happy and incredulous. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would be able to make so much money.

Mother Gu also looked extremely excited, but she suppressed her excitement and put on a cold face.
