Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Chapter 56 Xue Baochai 2

The soap business is doing well beyond Xue Xun's expectations. The most common soaps are priced at a low price. They are divided into three types, large, medium and small, with prices of fifteen yuan, thirty yuan, and fifty yuan.

The most common soap sells the best, and the number of people who come to buy it every day is endless, and sometimes there is even a long queue.

Ordinary people buy soap at home and use it to wash clothes, wash face, bathe, and wash hair. It can be said that one soap is multi-purpose.

A little wealthier family buys soap to wash clothes, and then spends one or two hundred yuan to buy a small piece of milk-flavored or fruity-flavored soap to wash their face, bathe and hair.

To say that there are many wealthy businessmen in Jinling, those ladies and ladies buy the best, most expensive, and most effective ones.In addition, they also need to buy beauty cream and whitening cream.

The Xue family was an imperial merchant, and Xue Xun selected the best batches and sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Soon the Xue family's soaps, beauty creams, and whitening creams became indispensable daily necessities for the empresses in the palace.

Whatever is popular in this palace is what is popular in the capital. Xue's shop opened in the most luxurious section of Qianmen Street, and the supply of good business exceeds demand.

There are many things in the capital, and the rich and powerful are the most.Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant, the four major families are connected with each other.But compared with those imperial relatives in the capital, they are still far behind.

The good business was beyond Xue Xun's expectation, so that some people had already started to think about their business.

Xue Xun was very skilled, and when Baochai heard him chatting with Aunt Xue, he had already brought two elder brothers to escort him, one was Jiubeile Yinzhen, who was known as the Nine Gods of Wealth, and the other was the ten-year-old who was known as the King of Heroes. The third elder brother Yinxiang.

Baochai couldn't help giving her father a thumbs up, awesome, he wiped out the mainstay of the Eighth Master Party and the Fourth Master Party.

Baochai relied on being a child and raised her face and asked: "Father, is Brother Huang very powerful? They are so powerful, how did you know each other?"

Xue Xun hugged Baochai to his lap, and pinched her little nose: "You are everywhere, and I want to inquire about everything. Let me tell you, can you understand me?"

Baochai pursed her mouth: "Daddy is bad, Bao'er is angry and ignores you, I want to find my brother."

Xue Xun hurriedly apologized: "Father is wrong, Bao'er, don't be angry. Daddy will tell you slowly, okay? Your uncle and Babeile have a good relationship. Brother Jiu is known as the God of Wealth Jiu, and Daddy has had business dealings with him.

The thirteenth elder brother is a personal friend of our family. Two years ago, he went to the south of the Yangtze River with the fourth elder brother to check the accounts. He was hunted down and fell into the water. Dad passed by by boat and rescued him.Dad had contacted him later, brother Thirteen valued friendship the most, and Dad pulled him because he was afraid that Jiu Bei Le would turn his face and deny him. "

Baochai gave her father a thumbs up: "Father, you are really old and cunning... Uh, no, no, it's foresight..."

Aunt Xue rubbed Baochai's little head: "You're just talking nonsense, you've been on the same level as your father all day long."

Doing business with the two elder brothers seems to make less money, but Xue Xun doesn't have to worry about sales except for production. He only needs to increase manpower and increase production.

Brother Nine has a lot of capable people, not only in the capital, but also in all parts of the country, and the sales of goods have doubled.This calculation is actually more than the original earning.

Xue Xun's Zhuangzi is already quite big, and the two newly built workshops have been put into use.He directly divided the original skilled workers into groups of two and brought ten newly bought novice workers.

These working women can also do it, and Xue Xun will drag his family with him when he buys it.Those who can't do heavy work can still do odd jobs, and even the worst can do the final packaging.

The workshop expanded again and again, and finally it was directly designed as the factory mentioned on the back of the sheepskin scroll, with the accommodation area and the production area separated.

The process is subdivided into more than a dozen, and each process has an independent workshop area.When the number of workers increases and their proficiency level increases, the output will gradually increase.

Elder Brother Thirteen turned out to be the poorest among the princes, there was nothing he could do, his mother had died early, and he had long since squandered the little Anjia money given by the palace.

Whenever there is something, the fourth elder brother helps him. Since he took a stake in Xue Xun's business, his wallet is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

In the past, I was always afraid to hear that someone else imported it, which means that you have to pay for it, and the birthdays of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager every year... these all cost a lot of money.Now that I have money in my pocket, my back is a little stiff.

Not to mention Brother Nine, he was already rich and powerful, but now he is even richer.But for Brother Jiu, what he enjoys is the process of earning money, and he doesn't want too much money.

Xue Xun picked and picked for Baochai and Xue Pan a wife who was not that famous, but had a good reputation.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to invite that kind of famous Confucianism, but Baochai refused: "Father, with my brother's temper, you are not afraid that the Confucianism will be angry and go away after a few days? You have to have that kind of personality." Not rigid, the lectures are simple and easy to understand..."

Xue Xun searched around several times before finding Mr. Li. After two days of class, Baochai said that Mr. Li was fine.

After he understands Xue Pan's level, the content of his lectures every day will not be too much, nor is it that kind of esoteric and obscure.Xue Xun had said that when he first invited him, and he didn't expect Xue Pan to be the number one scholar in the exam, and of course he couldn't pass the exam either.

I just want him to read and understand. Of course, if he works hard, he will be satisfied if he can pass the exam.

Everyone's parents have said so, Mr. Li is not under a lot of pressure, so let's teach slowly.The treatment given by the Xue family was very good, and Mrs. Li had been teaching the two children so seriously.

He often lamented to Xue Xun that if Baochai was a man, it would not be difficult to be the number one scholar.Xue Xun couldn't help but hehe, you pretend I haven't thought about it?If Baochai had been a man, the Xue family's ancestral grave would have smoked a long time ago.

In order not to let Xue Pan go out and run around, consume his excess energy.When Baochai was five years old, he suggested that Xue Xun find a suitable boxing master to teach them martial arts.

Xue Pan was delighted when he heard that, he had great strength, he was no match for Baochai, and he was definitely better than his sister in martial arts.As a result, after studying with the boxing master for half a year, his sister was able to beat him to the ground in a single lap.

Xue Xun couldn't help but have a headache. My daughter is too smart, which is actually not a good thing. After only half a year of studying, she has learned all the tricks of her master.

Baochai has been waiting for that monk to come together, wanting to see what supernatural powers they have, but in the end, the first and second-class monks can't wait for anyone.

That monk is also depressed. He has been to Jinling several times, and this Xue Baochai is alive and kicking without any illness.How did they give the prescription for Lengxiangwan?

Later, I finally found a chance when Baochai caught a cold, and when I came to the door, I wanted to run away when I saw Baochai.Oh my god, this is a civil servant of the underworld, little monsters like them are a little scared.

The two of them bit the bullet and dropped the prescription of Lengxiangwan and wanted to sneak away, but Baochai snatched them back.After a slap in the face, they were let go.

The monks who lost their wives and lost their soldiers ran away in a flash, and they were so scared that they didn't plan to come back again.

Baochai didn't find anything good from them, but she didn't like it, and it was good for Xue Xun and Aunt Xue to wear some things.

What surprised her the most was an alchemy furnace pulled out from the Taoist priest.I thought that the dirty and ugly model must be of good grade, but after washing it with Lingquan water, I found that she had found a treasure.

Of course, she wouldn't be able to use the stove for the time being, and without Danfang and Yihuo, it would be useless to say anything.She can be used to boil medicine pills, and the medicine produced has higher purity and better effect.

In ancient times, she went to bed early at night, and when she couldn't sleep, she went into the space to practice the Tao Te Ching, and then rubbed pills.

Seeing all kinds of things piled up in the warehouse and densely packed bottles on the shelves in the study, Baochai felt like a hamster who likes to hoard things. Even if he wears it over and over again, his hobby of hoarding medicine is still basically nothing. Change.

Don't look at her small space, just wear the things in the warehouse back to modern times, maybe she can become a billionaire Dangdang.It's a pity that it was purely a dream, and since she couldn't go back, she was an out-and-out poor ghost in the underworld.

The Xue family has been flourishing in the past few years, and Xue Xun's health has been recuperated. The old doctor who saw him couldn't help but wonder when his medical skills were so good that he could even cure heart disease.

But the facts are right in front of his eyes, Xue Xun is really healed, and later he thinks that he should have discovered it in time, and the Xue family is rich and powerful, and the medicines he takes are all high-quality, such as ginseng and ganoderma. Can't get rid of it.

However, Baochai, the greatest hero, has hidden her achievements and fame. In recent years, she has been regarded as half of the old doctor's apprentice.Because of Xue Xun's generosity, he taught Baochai all the things at the bottom of the box.

Now if anyone in the family has a headache, she can prescribe medicine for the pulse diagnosis.Although Aunt Xue did not trust Baochai's medical skills, the maids and women in their family especially believed in Baochai.

If any of them felt unwell, Baochai would prescribe a prescription for them, and they could go to the medical clinic and spend one or two hundred renminbi to cure their illness.Sometimes when the illness is not serious, Baochai will give you a folk prescription, which can cure the illness without spending money.

The ten-year-old Baochai is slightly taller than ordinary children because of his martial arts practice, and he already has a little bit of the charm of a cardamom girl. His Danfeng eyes are cold and charming, and his frowns and smiles are charming.

The two nuns invited by Xue Xun to teach Baochai privately lamented that this girl Xue is only young, and after a few years, she will charm many princes and grandchildren.

The 13-year-old Xue Pan has passed the county and government examinations under the guidance of Mr. Li, and now he is a child.As for the hospital examination for the time being, there is no need to think about it for the past two years. Xue Pan in the government examination was all shit luck, and the tail of the crane flew by at low altitude.

But just a child is enough to make Xue Xun laugh from ear to ear. He doesn't have high demands on Xue Pan, don't prodigal, marry a wife honestly, and have two grandchildren.

It's already a surprise to be able to pass the exam as a child student. If you can pass the exam and come back as a scholar, then you will be considered promising, and you will be able to get smoked in the ancestral grave in the future.

As for being an official, Xue Xun has never thought about it, but Xue Pan's temperament is an official?Then wait to be fooled and have to take the blame for others, right?If he can defend the city in his family's business, Xue Xun will be Amitabha if he is undefeated?

As the business grew bigger and bigger, Xue Xun thought about moving his family to the capital. In the future, whether it was Xue Pan marrying a wife or Baochai marrying a husband, there would be much more options than in Jinling.

But moving is not just about moving. First of all, the old house of the Xue family in the capital needs to be refurbished.They are used to living in Jinling, the capital is cold in winter, and the room has to be covered with floor dragons.

Xue Xun took the two big butlers of Xue's family to the capital first, and Baochai wanted to follow her if she acted coquettishly and flirtatiously.Xue Xun was not willing to let his daughter down, Baochai braided her hair for convenience on the road, wore a hat and men's clothes, she really looked like a handsome young master.

Xue Pan was tired of being detained at home studying all day long. He saw that Xue Xun agreed to bring Baochai, and wanted to follow him.Baochai felt that she and Xue Xun were not in Jinling, and that Aunt Xue must not be able to control him, so she might as well be at ease.

In this way, the three of them went straight to Tongzhou by boat along the Grand Canal, on their own merchant ships, and rarely docked except supply ships.Baochai practiced the Tao Te Ching and martial arts. He is a super healthy baby. He doesn't get seasick on the road, and he is alive and kicking like a little monkey every day.

Xue Pan, on the other hand, was about the same size as a young man, and he was dizzy and vomited all the way, lying in the cabin and unable to get up.

When they came out, the two nuns, Baochai, didn't bring any of them. Xue Xun was used to her, and Baochai was like a wild horse that had run loose. She forgot all the rules and had fun along the way.
