"Of course." Lin Wanrong smiled and handed her a piece of laundry soap that she had just cut off and said, "Next time you wash my clothes, don't forget to use this soap."
Xiao Yuruo's face turned red. She remembered that day when she was forced to wash clothes for him. She had a complicated feeling in her heart.
"How do I use this soap?" Xiao Yuruo touched the smooth soap and said fondly.
"This is for bathing. Oh, for bathing." Lin Wanrong used a more elegant word. He looked up and down at Grand Mistress and said, "Grand Mistress, you haven't taken a bath today, right? Just in time, take it back and try it. This soap was personally made by me. No other man has touched it, so you don't have to worry."
The Eldest Young Miss looked at him with a flushed face. No other man had touched her, but what was the meaning of him touching her? She softly nodded and took a small piece. She looked at Lin Wanrong and said softly, "You are tired today. Hurry and rest. You still have to go to Jinling Bookstore tomorrow."
Lin Wanrong was flattered and said, "Thank you, Grand Mistress, for your concern. But if this soap is good, Grand Mistress might as well take it with you tomorrow and promote it together with the perfume. "
Grand Mistress nodded and said, "I know. If this soap is really good, then just like the perfume, I will pay for the workshop and operating expenses. But we still have to discuss how to share the profits. "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Grand Mistress, you are a smart person. I am also an honest person. You will be responsible for the marketing of this soap. I won't treat you badly. I will give you 30% of the profits. "
The Eldest Miss snorted and didn't answer. She walked out and said in a sweet voice, "You should rest early. I'll talk about this soap after I use it."
Lin Wanrong was full of confidence this time. The process of processing this soap was very simple, and it was very suitable for current workshop production. The caustic soda was naturally formed, so there was no need to worry about the supply of the raw materials. This was truly a profitable business.
In fact, Lin Wanrong had thought deeply before making this soap. Any successful manufacturer would not only provide one type of product. No matter how good the perfume was, the supply of the perfume was greatly affected by Hua Bi. If there was an accident like a natural disaster, there was no other product that could make up for it. Supplying the perfume alone was really not a safe thing to do.
Now that he had this soap, the two complemented each other. Even if there was a deviation in one of them, he wouldn't be at a complete loss. In this spring when flowers were gradually withering, soap was definitely a new force to be reckoned with, and it complemented the perfume.
He had a good discussion with Uncle Fu about the production process of the soap. Although Uncle Fu had witnessed the birth of the soap, his knowledge of the formula and process was limited, so there was no need to worry about the secret being leaked. The production of soap was much easier than the production of perfume. After Lin Wanrong said a few words, Uncle Fu understood.
Early the next morning, Uncle Fu went to prepare according to his instructions. Lin Wanrong remembered that the Grand Mistress said that she was going to Jinling Bookstore to sell perfume and soap today, so he came to the door early. It was already winter, and the weather was very cold. Lin Wanrong wore thick clothes, so he didn't freeze into a popsicle in the cold wind.
After a while, he saw the Grand Mistress coming out of the inner room. Today, Xiao Yuruo wore a purple dress. She had a smile on her face, and her eyebrows were like flowers.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Grand Mistress. What good thing happened today? Why are you so happy? "
Xiao Yuruo walked to his side and snorted, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go." As she got closer, there was a faint fragrance coming from her body. In addition to the body fragrance of a woman, there was also a faint smell of soap.
Lin Wanrong was delighted and said, "Grand Mistress, did you use the soap yesterday? How did it feel? "
Xiao Yuruo blushed and said softly, "Not bad. I brought some with me today to promote the perfume. "
The two of them went out. The Grand Mistress pedaled the bicycle, and Lin Wanrong shamelessly prepared to get on. The Grand Mistress snorted and said, "Lin San, I have prepared a horse for you. You can ride it and follow the car."
Ride a horse? Lin Wanrong looked to the side, and sure enough, she saw a tall and sturdy black horse standing beside her. It was snorting and constantly panting. The black horse and Lin Wanrong's healthy skin really made it look like the man and the horse were one.
Lin Wanrong had ridden a horse before, but that was in the park, and she had a keeper by her side. Now, however, she was riding alone. The black horse was huge, and it was obvious that it would not be easy to deal with.
"What? Haven't you ridden a horse before? "The Grand Mistress saw him frowning, and suddenly became interested. It was rare to see him suffer a setback.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I am worried that I will fall down and be ridden by the black horse."
The Grand Mistress chuckled, thinking that he was honest. She knew that Lin San was a rascal. Today, he would go to the academy, and he would definitely ride her carriage. Although she was already numb to it, if this boy got into the carriage in public, then Lady Xiao's reputation would be completely ruined. So she deliberately came up with this idea, so that he could not find an excuse. This black horse was also personally chosen by her, and it was worthy of Lin Wanrong's body.
The Grand Mistress brought the mansion's horse trainer over, and let him guide Lin Wanrong. The servant's name was Little Sheng, and he also recognized Lin Wanrong. He cupped his fists and said to Lin Wanrong, "Third Brother, riding is very simple. After you get on the horse, you just need to clamp your legs on the horse's back, and hold on to the rope to stabilize the direction. That's it."
He took Lin Wanrong for a stroll a few times, and taught him the key points. Lin Wanrong was now a person who knew martial arts, so it was naturally easier for him to learn than others to ride a horse. He was not very resistant to it, and after a few familiarizing, he became a lot more courageous, and actually trotted a few steps on the horse.
The Grand Mistress frowned, thinking, "You just started learning, and you are already so bold." She was a little worried, so she ordered the horse trainer to also ride a horse, and follow by Lin Wanrong's side to take care of him.
Lin Wanrong sat on the black horse, patted the horse's mane, and said with a smile, "Buddy, how did you become so black? You actually surpassed me? What's the secret? I exercise every day, run around, and sunbathe, that's why I have such healthy skin. "
The Grand Mistress, who was in the carriage, secretly laughed when she heard this. "You really know how to talk nonsense, not even letting go of this animal." She secretly lifted the curtain to take a look, and saw that his face was square, and his body was handsome. The man and the horse were both handsome and extraordinary, and it was quite an impact. The Grand Mistress's heart fiercely jumped. She thought, "This black horse is really a good match for him. This person, if he had this kind of attitude, it would be quite pleasing to look at."
Lin Wanrong was also very satisfied with his current appearance as the prince of a black horse. Seeing that the Grand Mistress had lifted the curtain and was looking at him, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Grand Mistress. From now on, I will ride the horse, and you can take the carriage."
The Grand Mistress nodded, and reminded him, "Slow down. This is your first time riding a horse, so don't try to be brave and fall." With that, she let down the curtain. Lin Wanrong was surprised, "Since when did this Miss start to care about me?" He laughed, and in his excitement, his body twisted a few times on the horse's back, and almost fell off.
The servant hurriedly supported him. Lin Wanrong let out a long laugh, and said, "This black horse is very fierce, and suits my temperament. Little Sheng, let's go for a walk." As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled on the horse's reins. Patting the horse's rump, the black horse trotted out of the room.
Little Sheng, on the other hand, was shocked, and hurriedly followed. Third Brother was now the Xiao Family's treasure. If he really fell, then he would become a sinner of the Xiao Family.
Lin Wanrong was still a little nervous at first, and almost lost his balance a few times, but now that he had martial arts, his agility increased by more than a hundred times. After running for a while, his skills became more and more proficient. Fortunately, there were very few people on this road out of the city, so there were no accidents when he trotted on the horse.
Little Sheng saw that Lin Wanrong was becoming more and more proficient, and hurriedly urged his horse to catch up. He gave Lin Wanrong a thumbs up and said, "Third Brother, you are really amazing."
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and thought to himself, 'From today onwards, I've mastered another technique.' In this era, there was a lack of transportation, and learning how to ride a horse was very necessary. Who knows, it might come in handy in the future.
When Xiao Yuruo heard the horse's hooves, she hurriedly opened the curtain again, but saw Lin San riding the black horse far away. She was annoyed and angry, "You haven't learned how to ride, and you're already showing off. If you fall, don't blame others." She was a little worried, so she hurriedly urged the servant to catch up.
Lin Wanrong had only heard about the Jinling Poetry Society from the Grand Mistress, but he didn't know where it was. From the name, it should be a permanent organization, and should have a fixed office.
The carriage headed north of the city, and when it was about to reach the city gates, it saw a tall gate with green bricks and red pillars. On the gate, there were four large words written in red: Jinling Book Society.
The Grand Mistress got off the carriage and walked forward without a word. Lin Wanrong hurriedly threw the horse's rope to Little Sheng, and followed beside the Grand Mistress. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the ugly expression on the Grand Mistress's face. He didn't know who had provoked her. This young miss really changed her face quickly. When they set off, she was still smiling and talking warmly, but how did she become so cold in such a short period of time?
He originally wanted to ask if the Jinling Poetry Society was in this Jinling Book Society, but seeing the Grand Mistress's expression, he kept the question to himself.
After walking a few steps inside, the number of scholars coming and going increased. Some were holding a few small books, reading to and fro, while others were deep in thought by the lake. After a while, they would quickly write on the Xuan paper. Some were gathered in twos and threes to discuss, and there were quite a few women among them.
This was quite unexpected to Lin Wanrong. Wasn't it said that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue? Why were there so many rich young misses who wanted to learn this poem?
The Grand Mistress saw him constantly looking around, like a country bumpkin entering the city. She was both angry and amused, but when she saw him constantly looking at the women, she became a little angry and snorted, "Don't stare at other young misses like that. If outsiders see this, they will think that my Xiao Family instigated you."
Lin Wanrong cried out that he was innocent. He was only interested in the poems that so many women liked, and had no interest in them at all. Seeing his wronged expression, the Grand Mistress snorted again, "What? Did I wronged you? "
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Grand Mistress, I'm just curious why there are so many women. Being interested in this poem and what not, how is this staring at others? If I want to look, I should look at Grand Mistress. Grand Mistress, you are a hundred times more beautiful than them. "
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yuruo's face turned red, but her voice became a lot smaller, "Don't say such words again in the future."
Lin Wanrong saw her eyes droop, her face was bashful, and her snow white neck reflected her pink cheeks. It was as beautiful as a peach blossom in March. He couldn't help but be stunned. My goodness, when this Grand Mistress was gentle, she was also beautiful.
When the Grand Mistress saw him staring at her, she was ashamed and angry, but there was also an inexplicable feeling. She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and snorted, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Wanrong saw her expression turn cold, and there was no sign of her previous charming appearance. He couldn't help but shake his head again and again. Illusion, it must be an illusion just now. The Grand Mistress had always been like this, and she had never changed.
The two of them didn't speak. However, they heard a woman's voice in front of them saying happily, "Isn't that Sister Xiao Yuruo?"
Lin Wanrong hurriedly looked forward and saw two men and a woman walking over. The one in front was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with a smile on her face. She was also somewhat beautiful, but there was a hint of untamable wildness in her. At a glance, one could tell that she was not someone to be trifled with. Behind her were two men. The one in front had a face and red lips, and he was very handsome. The one behind him was slightly fat and had a face full of wealth.
The woman ran over and pulled Xiao Yuruo's hand, "Sister Xiao Yuruo, it really is you. I thought I was mistaken."
Xiao Yuruo smiled very reluctantly, "Miss Wanying, you are also here? Why aren't you on duty at the yamen today? "
When Miss Wanying saw the Grand Mistress, she seemed to be very happy. She pulled her hand and said, "There was nothing to do at the yamen, so I came to the academy." As she spoke, she glanced at the gentleman in front of her, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
Lin Wanrong took one look and understood. This little girl seemed to be interested in the handsome gentleman, so she deliberately skipped work to come. But what did the Grand Mistress mean when she said that this little girl was on duty at the yamen?
"Sister Xiao Yuruo, let me introduce you." Miss Wanying pointed at the slightly fat gentleman and said, "This is the number one scholar of Yangzhou, Yu Wenpo."
Yu Wenpo put away his bamboo stick and bowed to the Grand Mistress, "So it is Lady Xiao, I am Yu Wenpo of Yangzhou. Greetings to you."
The Grand Mistress returned the greeting. Miss Wanying pointed at the handsome man in front of her and said, "This is Master Hou Yuebai."
"Jin Ling's Hou Yuebai, greets Lady Xiao." The handsome man smiled.
So this is Jin Ling's number one scholar, Hou Yuebai? Isn't this the boy who is chasing after Luo Ning? He looks not bad, but his skin is a bit too white, like a girl. Lin Wanrong commented.
"So it is Jin Ling's number one scholar, Master Hou. Xiao Yuruo has been impolite." The Grand Mistress replied.
That Wanying pulled the Grand Mistress's hand and said, "Sister Xiao Yuruo, when I heard that you were kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect, I was very worried. My brother didn't allow me to leave the city because he was afraid of danger. He was worried for nothing. Why would I be afraid of that thief? I searched for a few days, but there was no trace of him. Luckily, I commanded Master Cheng to send troops and Sister returned safe and sound. Only then did I feel better. Sister, don't worry. I will definitely find the White Lotus Sect and avenge you. "Miss Wanying vowed.
Lin Wanrong was taken aback when he heard this. This Miss Wanying was actually a constable in the city? He really couldn't tell. He just didn't know if she was a poet and a constable or a constable and a poet.
The Grand Mistress smiled and said, "Miss Wanying, long time no see. Your abhorrence of evil still hasn't changed."
Miss Wanying's face turned red. She stole a glance at Hou Yuebai and said, "Sister Xiao Yuruo, why did you come here today?"
Xiao Yuruo briefly explained her purpose. Miss Wanying smiled and said, "I have also heard of that perfume. I was just about to ask Sister for some. It's just that the rule of our Poetry Society is to first write poems, then to be polite. Sister should know this. "
Xiao Yuruo smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know. I'll ask Miss Wanying to set the topic. "
Miss Wanying looked at Hou Yuebai and said, "I'll have to ask Young Master Hou to start first."
Hou Yuebai nodded his head. He pondered for a moment and said, "The general stands at the east of the city."
Yang Zhou's number one scholar Yu Wenpo thought for a moment and said, "The warrior knows how to draw the bow."
Miss Wanying said, "Hang the flag and spread it in the wind."
"Cannon, boom, boom, boom."
Before the Grand Mistress could reply, she heard someone next to her mumbled softly. She turned around and saw that it was the servant, Lin San.
Lin Wanrong was standing at the side and listening to their Dragon Welcoming Poem. He thought it was very interesting and thought, "Is this also a poem? Laozi can also match it. I guarantee you will be scared to death. " After pondering for a moment, he actually recited it in a low voice.
Although his voice was soft, the people standing close to him heard it. Miss Wanying giggled and said, "Sister Xiao Yuruo, is this your family's servant? Very interesting. "
That Jin Ling's number one scholar, Hou Yuebai, looked at Lin Wanrong with disdain. He saw that Lin Wanrong was wearing a thick green gown and said, "A crab's whole body is covered in armor."
Lin Wanrong was angry when he heard this. Damn it, you're scolding me. He was quick-witted and laughed, replying, "A spider's belly is full of knowledge."
As soon as these words came out, the people in front of him were stunned. Hou Yuebai scolded this servant, but he was scolded back. It was a wonderful thing.
The Grand Mistress covered her small mouth and looked at Lin San with a gentle smile. "You, this person, really has some crooked talent."
