After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Li Xiangan looked at Yan Qingqing and stammered: "Mom, is this too expensive?

When we were in Canghe Town, we only sold this handmade soap for a few hundred silver. Even if the merchants sold it, it was only one or two taels of silver.

Although we have upgraded the packaging and the quantity per box is a bit larger, it is not likely to sell for 168 taels. "

Li Xiangan has been in business for such a long time and knows that businessmen make money. But he has always been an "upright and kind" businessman.

He has always felt that outsiders have misunderstood the saying that no businessman can be raped, at least he and his mother are not such people.

But today it seems that his mother is really cruel.

Yan Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Li Xiang'an's unsettled look.

Then he said: "Second brother, we are in the capital now. Not only is the land high in this place, but the consumption is also high.

Our family's current financial resources are simply not enough.

Why doesn't Mom want to go out? Because once you go out, you get money.

Those ladies and ladies would have to pay at least dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels to buy a piece of jewelry.

If it is made by a famous artist, there are also thousands of taels.

Those things just make them superficial, but the things we produce help delay their aging. Let them solve the problem essentially.

These handmade soaps are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, but also contain a lot of good things, all of which can make the skin white, tender and delicate.

In addition to the exquisite packaging and the gift of a bubble-making net, the total cost is more than ten taels. This set only costs 168 taels. This is a welfare item. I think it is not expensive at all. . "

Although Li Xiangan felt something was wrong after listening to Yan Qingqing's words, he couldn't put his finger on it, but the whitening, spot-lightening, and moisturizing kit below was two hundred and eighty-eight taels.

There are also small things such as lip balm, eyebrow pencil, blush and eyeliner. The expensive ones cost dozens of taels, while the cheap ones cost more than ten taels.

Li Xiangan felt that what they were selling now was not toiletries, but gold and silver jewelry.

But he didn't dare to say it, because he was afraid that his mother would say that he was ignorant.

Yan Qingqing didn't care what Li Xiangan thought. She worked hard for several years and returned to before liberation.

After arriving in the capital, money was everywhere.

Their current wealth is not impressive at all. If she doesn't make a lot of money, she won't be able to come to the capital.

Why did she let Ruyi place a bet of fifty thousand taels? It was also for investment.

If I lose her, her heart will definitely bleed. But at least she told people in the capital that she was not short of money. The things Canghe Liji sells are really for everyone’s benefit.

If the bet wins, that's even better.

Now I hope that boy Han Yu can live up to his expectations.

As soon as Yan Qingqing thought of this, Ruyi ran in like a gust of wind, no longer caring about etiquette.

He opened his mouth and said: "Madam has become rich, Mr. Han has won the first prize in the examination."

Yan Qingqing stood up with a loud sound and asked excitedly: "Seriously?"

Ruyi nodded as if he was pounding garlic and said: "It's true, the boy at the gambling shop said it himself.

Madam has made a fortune now. The slave also made a lot of money. "

Li Xiangan on the side was a little confused, even though Han Yu was an old acquaintance with them. My family will definitely be happy if he wins the top prize.

But his mother is too happy to be so happy. It’s not like Li Xiangkang won the top prize.

Li Xiangan didn't think carefully about what Ruyi said at all.

So he directly said: "You girl is getting more and more reckless. Mr. Han won the first prize and prepared a congratulatory gift to send over."

When Yan Qingqing and the others first came to Beijing, although Han Yuren did not come, they still sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Yan Qingqing originally thought of inviting him to come over for a chat when she was free, but she was afraid of disturbing his study, so she never saw him.

After hearing Li Xiangan's reprimand, Ruyi quickly calmed down the expression on her face and replied calmly, "Yes."

Li Xiangan has always been very dignified at home, and many maids and servants are afraid of him.

Even big maids like Ruyi and Ruxue were a little frightened when they saw Li Xiangan.

Yan Qingqing was originally in a good mood. If Han Yu won the top prize, she would immediately receive five hundred thousand taels of silver.

With these five hundred thousand taels of silver, let alone walking around the capital, if you want to do something, you won't be constrained by money.

Yan Qingqing rolled her eyes at Li Xiangan to see how frightened his little maid was with his paralyzed face.

But she still had to protect Li Xiangan's face in front of her servants.

So he looked at Ruyi with a smile and asked: "Is it really Han Yu High School? Doesn't this lady have five hundred thousand taels of silver in her account now?"

Li Xiangan gasped when he heard this amount, wondering what his mother had just said.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver, that's their family's income for a whole year.

Only then did Li Xiangan realize that his mother had made a bet that Han Yu would win the top prize.

He had also heard from two friends before that the gambling house was betting on who would win the top prize in the gold industry.

I heard that the grandson of Mr. Ji Ge was the loudest voice.

Why did Han Yu suddenly win the top prize?

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, how could the person his mother likes be so bad?

Li Xiangan secretly regretted it when he thought of this. Maybe he could make a small fortune by betting with his mother.

By then, he would be able to save some private money for Mu Xi. Although he was in charge of the family business and his mother never restricted his spending, he also wanted to have his own small treasury.

After all, he is also about to get married.

When Li Xiang'an was lost in thought, Ruyi chirped from the side again: "I also placed a bet with Madam, and now this slave is also rich."

Yan Qingqing asked: "How much did you drink?"

Ruyi smiled and said: "Fifty taels, that's my entire wealth. Ruxue also pledged ten taels."

Yan Qingqing nodded her head and said, "Why, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Ruyi touched her head and replied: "Madam, I'm not afraid of putting down fifty thousand taels, but my servant's fifty taels are nothing.

Besides, you don’t have to spend any money to eat and drink in the house. The monthly amount of money given by the madam is very high. It won’t be long before the slave can save it back. "

Yan Qingqing chuckled after hearing this, this girl was quite open-minded.

Before the two masters and servants finished chatting, Butler Yu came back and reported that the gambling shop had come to deliver banknotes to Yan Qingqing.

This is five hundred thousand taels. In fact, Yan Qingqing would like them to exchange it for white money and put it there when the time comes, so that it looks more shocking.

But Yan Qingqing also knows that this is too ostentatious and troublesome.

Even if the casino gives you a banknote, it is still real money.

No one has ever made so much money from betting. Suddenly, the news that Mrs. Mingzhao earned 500,000 taels for being the top scholar in Jinke spread like wildfire in the capital. She was even more popular than the newly minted first-class scholars. To prosper.
