Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 40 Future Soap Spokesperson

"Why don't you go and grab it?!"

After a brief silence, Li Xueyan jumped three feet high like a cat whose tail was stepped on, staring at Su Chen with an angry face.

Li Xueyan felt that Su Chen was deliberately teasing her!

How dare he charge such a high price for just a box of soap?!

Ninety-nine taels of silver? !
This is enough to cover the expenses of ordinary people in Chang'an City for at least three years!
“It’s a little expensive, but it’s worth it.”

Su Chen smiled and closed his folding fan, then pointed at the wooden box on the table. "Princess, please look, this wooden box is made of top-grade mahogany. It's not an exaggeration to say it's exquisite, right?"

Li Xueyan and the other girl's eyes fell on the wooden box.

have to say.

A lot of thought went into the creation of this wooden box.

The pattern on the wooden box shows the great carving skills. It not only depicts a gorgeous peony flower, but also some vivid little animals.

Not to mention the soap inside, this exquisite mahogany box alone would cost several taels of silver.

Li Xueyan nodded, "It's very good."

Su Chen said again, "There are 7749 bars of soap in this box. Each soap uses different fragrances and different craftsmanship, so each soap has a different fragrance. I am not lying about this, am I?"

Li Xueyan pondered and nodded again.

"This soap is so beautifully packaged and carefully crafted, and it only costs ninety-nine taels of silver. Is it expensive?"

"Do not……"

Li Xueyan was almost fooled by Su Chen. She glared at Su Chen fiercely and said, "It's expensive, very expensive!"

Su Chen burst out laughing.

Princess Changle asked curiously, "These soaps are priced so high, can they really be sold?"

"Naturally."

Su Chen is full of confidence.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Although these soaps cannot fundamentally change girls' appearance, they will enhance their body odor.

It is said that women dress up to please themselves.

Even if it can only increase your charm by a little bit, it will attract countless girls!
If the news spreads quietly, the current Princess Changle uses this type of soap from our family...

Su Chen didn't dare to imagine how crazy the men and women of the Tang Dynasty would be.

Su Chen put away his thoughts and said again: "Besides, this is what I specially prepared for the princesses and concubines, so the price is naturally a bit higher."

"If it's other soaps, the price is relatively cheaper."

Princess Changle nodded in understanding.

Create soaps of different prices for different target groups.

For royal relatives and nobles, they naturally use the best, and a hundred taels of silver is not worth mentioning.

If you are from a poor family, you will naturally have access to cheap soap.

Li Xueyan pinched her purse and said, "How about you sell me some ordinary ones first?"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Li Xueyan was somewhat embarrassed. Who made her speak so boldly just now?
But my wallet won't allow it.

Princess Changle glanced at Li Xueyan, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Su Chen say with a smile, "I was just joking with the princess. Not to mention that you and Princess Changle are close friends, even if you happened to meet the princess today and came here together, why not give me a box of soap?"

Li Xueyan whispered, "Thank you."

Su Chen: "You are too polite, my lord. I just hope that next time you see me, you won't fight me if there is a disagreement."

Li Xueyan blushed and tried to avoid Su Chen's sight in embarrassment, but then she thought of Su Chen's frivolous words, "Who told you to be so outspoken? You deserve a beating!"

Princess Changle: "Thank you very much, Master Su."

"You're welcome, princess."

After a brief exchange, Su Chen watched the two girls leave.

Although I lost a few taels of silver today, I will surely gain a huge fortune in the future.

of course.

Ensure your personal safety in advance.

Princess Changle might not necessarily pick up a knife to chop him, but even if Princess Li Xueyan really dared to pick up a knife to chop him, she might not be able to beat Jin Yong and Wang Xuance, but it's hard to say about Li Er.

Su Chen stretched and asked someone to bring a cup of tea. Just as he picked up the cup and took a sip, he saw Sun Qiang coming over.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Sun Qiang from the East Palace? Long time no see."

Su Chen looked at Sun Qiang.

After not seeing him for the past two days, Sun Qiang looked even thinner, like a skinny dog.

Doing a push-up can make you catch a cold.

"Not a few days, right?"

Sun Qiang felt a little guilty, "Besides, wasn't it your idea to let me get close to Zhou Fang?" Su Chen nodded and leaned back, "You came to me at this time, you must have gotten some important information."

"No money."

"...?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes slowly fell on Sun Qiang.

In two days, you spent a hundred taels of silver?

"Son..."

Sun Qiang lowered his head in embarrassment, "You don't know, Zhou Fang has all five poisons, that little bit of silver is not enough."

Su Chen folded up his folding fan, "Is this what I want to hear?"

Sun Qiang scratched his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh, sir, there is an important news, I almost forgot it because you scared me."

"what news?"

"When I was drinking with Zhou Fang, I heard someone say that Kong Siye and the others who came to trouble you today were the ones who were behind this by Cen Wenzhao."

"Cen Wenzhao?"

Su Chen nodded. This was something he had expected.

"anything else?"

"Gone."

"..."

Su Chen pinched his folding fan and looked at Sun Qiang expressionlessly.

Sun Qiang said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. I have become Zhou Fang's best friend. As long as you give me another three hundred taels of silver, I will definitely be able to get the secret out of Zhou Fang's stomach!"

Duo duo.

Su Chen knocked on the table, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Su Wang, give him three hundred taels of silver."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Su Chen raised his hand to interrupt Sun Qiang, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I'll give you the money. If this thing is not done well, don't blame me."

Sun Qiang's face straightened: "Please rest assured, no matter what shocking secrets Zhou Fang has in his stomach, I promise to take them away completely this time, leaving nothing behind!"

"Go."

Sun Qiang nodded, took the silver handed to him by Su Wang, and left Wenxianglai among the crowd.

When Su Chen withdrew his gaze, he saw Jin Yong in disheveled clothes. He glanced in the direction of Sun Qiang and quickly walked into the place to smell the fragrance.

"Sir, did Brother Sun come back just now?"

"Well, I came back to ask for money."

Su Chen sighed and pointed at Jin Yong's clothes, "What happened?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Jin Yong felt very unlucky.

It was clearly he who sent Kong Huiyuan to see a doctor, but those scholars refused to let him leave.

He was not happy at that time.

But unfortunately, most of these people were from the Imperial College, and they could not take any action. They had to face the scorn of these scholars and fled back in panic.

"That's right, sir."

"On my way back just now, I met a servant from the mansion, who gave me a letter that he said was for you."

Jin Yong took out the letter and placed it on the table.

There are four words "Written by Su Chen himself" on it.

"Where did this letter come from?"

"Hedong Road."

Su Wang was delighted. "This must be Master Su Bing's reply to you."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, then picked up the letter and opened it.

"Seeing the letter is like seeing the person, reading the letter makes your face happy."

"I, Su Bing, have long heard of Master Su Chen's name. We have known each other for a long time, but unfortunately we have only just met..."

The letter was not very long.

But after taking a closer look, apart from the commercial flattery and the hard work involved, there are only four words left.

People are on the road.

"What did Master Su Bin say in the letter?"

"People are coming!"
