“For real?”
“Yes!”
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao’s eyes sparkled. They looked quite expectant. Yeah, it was definitely doable. They could build the abbey themselves.
“Of course, as long as we make enough money!”
“We can save our money and build an abbey for ourselves!”
“Me too! Can I raise one horse too then?”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “Everything is going to work out. You can have two, if you like! But save your money and we will have an abbey sooner than later!”
Shao Yunduan added too. “Your Fifth Sister-in-law is right! We will have an abbey, as long as you help your Fifth Sister-in-law in her work!”
He was going to work hard as well so that she could live a peaceful and leisurely life, and not worry about the Qiao Family!
The following morning, Qiao Xuan headed out.
They had made a deal the day before. Yuezheng Xiao sent two wagons for them so Qu Shan would keep them company while on the way back home.
The sprouts from the florist as well as many things filled up one entire wagon.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong both gav them presents to take back.
Xie Jingrong gave them two jars of ginseng wine, as well as some delicate pastries that were made by the chef in the mansion. He also gave some hand-written transcripts which were excellent articles from previous examinations.
These articles were easy to procure for the Xie Family but for those outside the family, they were valuable things, which were difficult to collect.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were really grateful. Those were the exact things they required.
Yuezheng Xiao also offered some good food and things to use, including cubilose, donkey-hide gelatin, spices and brocades. He was very generous.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong did not see them off personally.
They were friends and did not need to stick to such useless formalities.
Also, Shao Yunduan was going to participate in the imperial examination next year, and when he went to the next level, he could openly become good friends with Xie Jingrong, who would bring along his good friend, Yuezheng Xiao. That would work out smoothly.
If he was known to have befriended the Xie Family earlier, he might risk being gossiped about.
Yuezheng Xiao put the newly-obtained lipsticks in the store for sale.
Due to the limited stock, only 30 pieces were sold each day and each person was given no more than two. If they failed to get even one, the consumers could buy items worth 10 liang at or make a booking for the next day.
10 liang was a huge amount. Even for people from the Xie Family, the pocket money of the ladies would only be 2 liang monthly.
Well. if the ladies had the intention of buying good stuff. they would always have ways to get their mother to buy them.
Yuezheng Xiao was very satisfied. This small store brought in a lot of profit for him every month.
More importantly, he did not need to spend a lot of effort in building up the store. As long as he had lipsticks in stock, he could always buy some other things and sell them easily.
Once home, Yuezheng Xiao was asked by Madame Yuezheng to come over for a talk.
Yuezheng Xiao could almost tell what was going on. He nodded, changed his clothes and went for the talk.
Yuezheng Ting must have reported him again.
Yuezheng Ting wanted 10 lipsticks from him the day before but he had turned her down. And now his grandmother was looking for him… what a coincidence?
He could give her one, but ten? Why… so that she could share them with others to lift up her reputation? Never!
Yuezheng Ting was very irritating. She said that 10 lipsticks just cost a few hundred liang and that was nothing for her Third Brother. Why couldn’t he give them to her?
But someone needed to tell her that this money was not falling from the sky!
