After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

When they reached the end of the street and turned into a familiar alley, Huizhen couldn't contain her excitement. She threw herself on Jinchu with a wow and said, "Jin'er, Jin'er, we actually did do business with Yangyan Shop!"

Compared to Huizhen's dancing and gesticulation, Jinchu was a little more reserved, but she also had a smile in her eyes and a raised lip as she reminded the girl beside her: "Huizhen, be more reserved. We can talk about it when we get home. Don't forget that your brother is still following us!"

Huizhen then remembered to look at her elder brother who was following not far behind them. She saw that her elder brother was looking at the girl next to him with a smile on his face, ignoring his younger sister's behavior.

Huizhen felt relaxed but also a little lost.

What made her feel relaxed was that her elder brother didn't pay attention to her, so naturally he wouldn't scold her for being too complacent; but what made her feel disappointed was that her elder brother, who had always cared for her, now had a girl he cared about more.

However, when Huizhen thought that the girl she cared about was Jin'er, the slight sense of loss in her heart disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by pride.

You know, Jin'er is her good sister, which shows that the eldest brother's vision is as good as hers.

Jinchu saw Huizhen staring at her aunt and smiling, and was speechless: "Huizhen, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing." Huizhen retracted her imagination, put on a smile on her face, and followed Jinchu and walked quickly towards home.

When they arrived at the courtyard and closed the gate, Huizhen started chattering as soon as she entered the main hall: "Jin'er, Jin'er, can you calculate how much money we can earn this time?"

Jin Chu took out a pen and paper, and the two girls sat down and began to calculate the profit amount of this cosmetics business.

This time, a total of 40 pieces of scented powder, 50 bottles of scented cream, and 100 pieces of scented soap were sent to Yangyanfang.

Because Manager Chen said that the three perfumes and cosmetics that Jinchu sent would all be sold at the highest price of the same category in the store, Jinchu also inquired about the selling prices of the three items.

The price of scented powder is 400 wen per piece, the price of scented ointment is 360 wen per bottle, and the price of scented soap is slightly lower, at 150 wen per piece.

The perfumed powder that Jinchu sent was worth sixteen taels of silver, the perfumed balm was worth eighteen taels of silver, and the perfumed soap was worth fifteen taels of silver. The total value of all the goods was forty-nine taels of silver.

After deducting the 30% profit left by the beauty shop, Jinchu and Huizhen can still get 34 taels of silver plus 300 coins.

After deducting the investment cost of ten taels of silver, the remaining net profit is still twenty-four taels and three hundred coins.

If these twenty-four taels of silver were to be divided into three parts and given to Huizhen, it would be seven taels and two hundred and ninety coins.

When Huizhen heard this number, her eyes widened!

You have to know that apart from her eldest brother who made money quickly by writing, the blacksmith shop run by her father and grandfather only made more than twenty taels of silver a year when business was best. In the end, the two of them only made less than three taels of silver a month.

Now, she only worked with Jinchu for six or seven days, but she could actually earn two or three months' wages of her father and grandfather!

She opened her mouth and stared at Jin Chu blankly, her eyes showing both surprise and admiration.

This is the first time in her life that she has earned so much money by herself!

That’s not right. It’s because of following Jin’er that she can earn so much money. Jin’er is indeed her lucky star!

After a long while, she finally said to Jinchu, "Jin'er, pinch me quickly! Why do I feel like this is just a beautiful dream?"

Seeing Huizhen's funny look, Jinchu couldn't help laughing. She patted the girl's shoulder comfortingly: "Girl, it's not a dream, it's just that we won't get the money until next month."

Jin Chu was not too worried about the sales of this batch of cosmetics and soap. Pearl powder still had a large number of fans in later generations, so it must not be too bad in this dynasty. After all, good things will never be buried no matter where they are.

Excited, Huizhen rushed directly to her eldest brother, who was standing under the apricot tree in the yard. She grabbed one of his sleeves and, ignoring his frown, couldn't wait to share her joy. "Brother, brother, did you hear that? Jin'er just calculated, and we made a full profit of 24 taels of silver this time. I got 30%, which is 7 taels of silver! That's 7 taels of silver! We've been busy for a total of seven days, which means I earned 1 tael of silver every day. Don't you think we're amazing?"

Wang Weiyuan, infected by his sister's joy, also laughed: "That's amazing! Congratulations to my Huizhen! She's going to be rich soon!"

Wang Weiyuan was also surprised by the two girls' profit figures this time.

He had originally thought that the cosmetics Jinchu and Huizhen had created would only earn them a few taels of silver at best, but he hadn't expected to earn 24 taels! This was just the sisters' first foray into the business; if they took it seriously, they would surely earn even more in the future.

With his vision, he would naturally see the toxicity of this balm. If the product was popular, as long as he controlled the raw material formula, he would make a steady stream of money in the future.

A girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, who has to shoulder the burden of life and raise her younger brother alone, can both read and write, and is smart enough to make money. How was such a girl raised?

Wang Weiyuan couldn't help but feel a little more curious and expectant about Jin Chu.

His gaze fell on the young woman in the room, and Wang Weiyuan couldn't help but whisper to his sister, "Don't blame me for being so nosy. You were able to earn so much money this time, and Miss Jin'er accounted for at least 80% of the credit. She was kind enough to give you a third of the profit. Now that you've taken this money, you must be even more dedicated to assisting Miss Jin'er in the future. Only then will you be worthy of your share of the profit!"

Huizhen nodded repeatedly at her elder brother's advice, "You're right, elder brother! If Jin'er hadn't dragged me along, I definitely wouldn't have made so much money. From now on, I'll do whatever Jin'er tells me to do and I promise to listen to her instructions."

At this point, Huizhen looked at Wang Weiyuan angrily and complained, "Brother, Jin'er is such a good girl, you must pay more attention to her, otherwise you will regret it when she is abducted by another man!"

Wang Weiyuan smiled bitterly: "You little girl, just worry about your own affairs. I know what's going on, so don't make things more complicated! If you really want to help me, just keep an eye on her for me."

This was the first time Wang Weiyuan openly admitted his concern for Jin'er. Huizhen was delighted and immediately raised her hand to promise, "Don't worry, big brother. During your imperial examination, I will definitely help you take good care of your future sister-in-law. You should also work hard and strive to pass the imperial examination next year!"

Wang Weiyuan was amused by Huizhen's last words: "You silly girl, where did you learn the art of big and small?"

Huizhen retorted unconvincedly, "Of course I learned it from Jin'er. Doesn't passing the imperial examination mean passing the imperial examination and marrying your sweetheart? Big brother, I have confidence in you. Don't let our family down."

Looking at his sister's back, Wang Weiyuan smiled and shook his head.

In the morning he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening he ascended to the Hall of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Weiyuan clenched his fists again to motivate himself. He should work hard to earn a good future so that he would be worthy of such an outstanding girl.
