Strange love across time and space

Chapter 57 Entering the harem for the first time

In the next many days, Su Qing and Jiang became very busy. Due to the large number of orders on the day of the banquet, and the fact that the ladies and ladies went back to spread the word, several companies successively sent deposits to buy soaps. There were not enough soap molds, so Jiang He had no choice but to ask Butler Li to find the craftsmen to make more molds. He also asked Li Qiang to purchase more petals, spices, fat pork and pine wood. The yards for making soap were full of piles. He also assigned two maids from each yard to help make soap. Because of the experience of making the first batch of soap, the maids started making soap much faster now, but they were still busy and kept their feet on the ground. Finally, it took seven days to make all the soaps on the order. come out. Seeing that everyone was working so hard, Su Qing took it upon herself to use her own personal money to pay bonuses to the maids. The maids looked at the bonuses in their hands, which were more than the monthly salary, and each one of them happily said thank you, Miss. This made the other maids so envious that they all wanted to make soap. After being scolded by Aunt Lin, they all returned to their posts dejectedly. Mr. Jiang asked Butler Li to deliver the soaps to each household according to the quantity and requirements on the order, and get the remaining money back at the same time. Just as Mr. Jiang was moving the abacus beads to calculate the profit of the soap, the shopkeeper of the Rouge Shop came. The shopkeeper's surname was Shen. He came with Mr. Jiang as a dowry and was very loyal to Mr. Jiang. Shopkeeper Shen was anxious and happy at the same time. He said, "Madam, the hundreds of bars of soap you put in the shop last time are all sold out. Many people came to buy them and they are all out of stock. I haven't seen you come to the shop these days, so I had to come to ask madam if she still has any soap." ?" When Mrs. Jiang heard that all the soaps in the shop were sold out, she stood up happily and hurriedly asked Butler Li to send the two hundred soaps left over from the orders these days to Rouge Shop. Shopkeeper Shen heard that the soap was still in stock and hurried to the store again. This is the best month since he became the shopkeeper. If this continues, his wife will definitely give them a lot of rewards by the end of the year. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Shen ran faster.

At night, Mr. Jiang rubbed his sore wrist and said happily to Su Qixuan, "Master, do you know how much our soap has sold during this period?" Su Qixuan never asked about business matters, so he casually said, "One hundred taels." Silver?" Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at him and stretched out a finger. "It's more than a thousand taels!" Su Qixuan stood up suddenly. "What? Say it again!" Mrs. Jiang made a sound and walked to the bed and sat down. "Check. ! You even pretended to hear it!" Su Qixuan followed Jiang with eyes wide open, "Did Qingqing really sell that soap for so much money?" Then he rubbed his hands and said happily, "I didn't expect my daughter to be so capable! I am a year old Her salary is not that much. She is indeed my daughter, Su Qixuan." After saying that, she laughed twice. Seeing Su Qixuan's happy expression, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but said, "That must be because I inherited my good business acumen." Su Qixuan then said doubtfully, "You said Qingqing wasn't so considerate and capable before. Instead, she had a bad temper after losing her memory." It's like a different person." Jiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the fever has burned my brain." "Oh, it's a blessing in disguise. I originally felt sad that Qingqing lost her memory, but I didn't The realization has changed her character for the better. Look at it now, she has been rewarded by the emperor, she is proficient in poetry, and now she can make soap and sell it for money. Even my and Rui'er's official positions are because of Qingqing's talents. She was promoted! So since ancient times, there has been a saying that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." Jiang rolled her eyes at him again and said, "Okay, no matter how Qingqing changes, she is still our daughter. Go to bed quickly, I am exhausted from this day. !”

Early the next morning, Su Qing had just finished breakfast when she saw Linglong running in anxiously and saying breathlessly, "Miss! Someone is coming from the palace. Madam asked you to go to the front yard." Su Qing asked in confusion, " Is it Eunuch Fu? Or Eunuch Xi?" Linglong shook her head, "No, it's the father-in-law of Concubine Xian's side." As soon as Su Qing heard about Concubine Xian, she guessed that it was King Jin or the fourth prince who mentioned her soap-making idea in front of Concubine Xian. Due to the case where Su Qixuan was arrested last time, after the queen was grounded, the emperor handed over the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace to Concubine Xian. Although the queen was later released, the emperor still did not return the Phoenix Seal. Therefore, the procurement matters for the Ministry of Internal Affairs are still managed by Concubine Xian. Thinking of this, Su Qing hurriedly walked towards the front yard.

Arriving at the main hall of the front yard, Mrs. Jiang introduced Su Qing, "Qingqing, this is Eunuch Li who is with the Concubine Xian." Su Qing was about to salute, but was stopped by Eunuch Li, "Don't you dare, I'm a slave. Salute Miss Su." Su Qing smiled and said, "Eunuch Li, you don't have to be formal. I dare to ask my father-in-law when you come this time, but what are the instructions from Concubine Xian?" Seeing Su Qing being so polite, Eunuch Li said with a smile, "Can't we talk about the instructions? Yes, a few days ago His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince gave the soap made by Miss Su to the Concubine Xian. After using it, the Queen praised her repeatedly, saying that the soap was smooth and fragrant, and that after bathing with it, her skin became better than before. Well, the empress is happy and said she wants to meet Miss Su." Su Qing and Mrs. Jiang were very happy after hearing this. If Concubine Xian likes it, then the Su family will be able to accept soap orders from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Su Qing followed Eunuch Li directly into the carriage without saying a word. Before getting on the carriage, she winked at the phantom behind her, who immediately understood. When she walked to a place where no one was around, she turned into a vine flower and flew to the roof of the carriage. When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, when Su Qing got off the car, it fell on Su Qing's hairpin and said "I'm here" using the sound transmission technique. He nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Eunuch Li took Su Qing to the harem. Su Qing felt that the journey was very long. In the past, she always went to the royal study room or the banquet hall when she came to the palace. This was her first time to the harem. Thinking of the scenes of the harem beauties fighting in the TV series, Su Qing couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a palace. Su Qing raised his head and glanced at the plaque above, Weiyang Palace. It turns out that Concubine Xian lives here. Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Miss Su, please stay here for a moment. I will go in first and let you know." Su Qing nodded. Eunuch Li came out shortly after entering and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Su, Xian Concubine, please come in." Su Qing was not polite and strode in. Behind her, Eunuch Li was puzzled. Other ladies who came to the harem were all cautious for fear of breaking the rules, but this Miss Su was different. Not afraid of anything. No wonder he can win the attention of His Highness King Jin and the Fourth Prince.
