Chapter 648 Gu Yun's Happy Event

"Shouldn't the old workshop be transformed into a new women's tea room? The overall structure of the house does not need to be changed. The original workshop part can be directly converted into a garden. The house can be refurbished and replaced with a platform. The courtyard in the middle is used as a garden. Reception, and then change the east courtyard for guests, and the west courtyard for servants."

"Well, this is really a good idea. The place is much more spacious than the current tea room, and the guests will like it more."

"The servant girl went to consult the guests this afternoon. They like the spacious place with a garden, and they can accept a reasonable price increase. However, the servant girl still invites them to go back and ask for their opinions in their circles of friends to see how many people there are. If people are willing, more people can ask for money to rebuild the house."

"It's very easy for you to use me as a cover." Gu Yun laughed, stretched out his hand to hang on Bai Kou's nose, then pulled her into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead, "You ask them Asking for opinions in your own circle is actually to use their mouths to spread the news that you are going to rebuild a new women's tea room, right?"

"That's right, instead of starting the construction first, it's better to release the news first, so that the guests have something to look forward to, and only after the opening will attract more new guests who didn't like the old tea room environment."

"Okay, I agree to request the money, but are you busy now?"

"Use some of your guards as supervisors."

"Okay, you can do it, but don't force it, rest when you are tired, there is no need to make yourself sick just to earn this little money."

"Ah."

With Gu Yun's permission, the rebuilding of the soap workshop started immediately. The contractor who was already an old acquaintance successfully got the project, and he was also responsible for the renovation of the women's tea room now, so Bai Kou didn't have to say anything. After understanding what she meant, it took a few days to come up with a style drawing, and the two sides discussed and revised some details. Bai Kou paid for the start-up and preparation of materials, and the modification began immediately.

When the renovation of the new women's tea room is completed, Bai Rui and her four maids will also move there together, so the west yard is for them to live in. The back house of the shop can be used as an office after it is vacated. If there is a unified promotion in the future , There is also a spacious place to convene a large group of people for discussion.

Everything in the business is going well, and the news of the new product glycerin and snap buttons is slowly spreading. The shopkeepers who cooperated with the mid-autumn promotion last time sent messages through their bosses, wanting to try new products.

Bai Kou cast the bait early, catching big and experienced fish like them.

With the active participation of shopkeepers, in the shops they manage, the posters of the Xianbugou Winter New Product Trial Sale will be hung up in unison, and the sale will start on the day of Lidong, but samples have been released on the counters of each shop. Whether it’s for sale or not, besides the product name of glycerin, there are three eye-catching characters on the label of the bottle, “trial products”. Buckle, just make two bibs.

For the gift, even women without infants at home decided to buy two bottles of glycerin on the day of Lidong, and got four buttons.

The output of snap buttons, Bai Kou, wrote to his grandfather, asking for their help. Jiyangfang where they lived was only one street away from Donglinfang, which belonged to the Ministry of Industry. Grandpa will pick out a few good craftsmen to form a small group, and take over the order of buttons, otherwise it is impossible to distribute goods in the whole city with only one blacksmith shop.

Bai Kou also prepared some goods for the old lady and three wives in the mansion to give to their relatives. Gu Yun also gave a few bottles to Shi Tianmin and his friends. Shi Tianmin took them home and distributed them to his parents and younger sister. The transparent bottle, half the size of a palm, contained a transparent oily liquid. Shi Tianqi couldn't wait to wash his hands, and applied glycerin to experience the effect.

Shi Tianmin sent the remaining few bottles to his uncle's house. Princess Yu was not interested at first and put them in the corner of the cabinet, but her two daughters saw from the small words on the bottle label that it could also remove makeup, so they spared it. I tried it with interest, poured it on a clean veil and wiped it on my face, and wiped off all the color on my face.

Bai Kou dared to mention on the label that it can remove makeup. Naturally, it was based on life experience. The girls under her command used glycerin to remove makeup, but it was also because the ingredients of cosmetics in this era are simple. Glycerin can be wiped off with a swipe of glycerin, and then wash her face with soap That's it.

Reminded by her daughters, Princess Yu started to use glycerin again. After trying it out, she discussed it with her husband and began to promote this new product to her relatives and friends.

Although the camps are different, commodities are good commodities, and factories are even better factories. No matter whether Gu Yun leans towards them in the future, as long as they succeed in seizing the heir, it is not certain who will eventually own the factory.

Before the beginning of winter, the gifts sent out in advance were passed on by word of mouth from the wives, wives, and young ladies of the rich and powerful, and they took the initiative to start free advertisements.

Naturally, the palace also got a small box, which was distributed by the queen to the princesses, high-ranking concubines and queen mothers. They have court offerings, and the skin care products are suitable for personal physique, so there is no need to use glycerin to moisturize the skin , but the use of makeup removal is quite popular with them. Empress Ye gathered everyone's opinions to report to the sage, and issued a decree, bestowing Gu Yun with the status of an imperial merchant. The factory under her name will provide a fixed amount of goods to the palace every year.

The day when the decree arrived at Duke Ye’s mansion happened to be Xiu Mu. Gu Yun was resting at home. Hearing that he was asked to receive the decree, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the main hall of the front yard with his father and brothers. Kneeling on the ground to listen to the decree, Ye There is a family rule in the Duke's Mansion, which is not to marry an imperial merchant, because when the ancestors were fighting, they suffered a big loss at the hands of an imperial merchant who supplied military supplies. He became the most eye-catching imperial merchant, and he was also the youngest imperial merchant since the founding of the country.

But the decree has been made, and the angel who came to announce the decree made it very clear that Gu Yun's ability to become an imperial merchant lies in the production capacity of his factory. There are many factory owners who have opened a factory, but he is the first one who can distribute goods throughout the city at the same time. family.

After listening to the angel's explanation, the men in the family finally came to their senses, their faces beaming with joy. The family rules are out of control for the time being. How could the ancestors guess that some of the descendants would be able to be imperial merchants.

The butler came out to see off the guest, and with the cover of his sleeve, when the angel turned around and stepped out of the main hall, he stuffed a heavy money bag into his hand, and respectfully sent him out to the car.

In the main hall, after receiving the congratulations from his family members, Gu Yun held the imperial decree and went back to Jicheng Hall with his father to announce the good news to his mother, and then went to Rong En Hall to announce the good news to his grandmother. When he returned to Zhongming Yuan, the girls in the courtyard had already After receiving the report from Ji Chengtang, they flocked up to congratulate the young master.

Surrounded by the maids, Gu Yun walked all the way into the main courtyard, only to see Bai Kou waiting outside the main hall door. He jumped up the steps in two steps, holding the imperial decree in one hand, and hugging Bai Kou by the waist with the other hand, circling around on the spot, The girls stood under the steps and laughed at this scene.

If it weren't for so many people watching from below, Gu Yun really wanted to hug Bai Kou into the room and close the door right now, but thinking about Bai Kou's possible reaction, Gu Yun didn't want to become a eunuch so soon. Gritting her teeth, she put down Bai Kou and handed her the imperial edict in her hand.

"Put it in the ear room, I'll go change my clothes, and we'll discuss future business plans in a while."

"Yes, son."

Bai Kou took the imperial decree with both hands and brought it into the ear room, and placed it in the middle of the low cabinet on the bottom wall. During the time when Gu Yun went to Rong En Hall, Bai Kou had already prepared a small table case specially for displaying tributes. The length of the imperial decree is just right.

This is an honor, and of course it should be placed in the most conspicuous place.

Gu Yun quickly changed his clothes, washed his face and came out to announce that he would reward all the people in the Zhongming Court, each with an extra month's monthly allowance. While the people below were cheering, he turned around and entered the ear room, and saw Bai Kou first. She was waiting obediently for him, and then there were piles of various papers on the low table beside her.

After being speechless for a while, Gu Yun decisively looked away, flung off his shoes and rushed towards Bai Kou, wrapped her in his arms with such strength that she could not escape, aimed at her lips, and held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her vigorously. Going down, she forced her teeth open, and ran amok without any rules, until Bai Kou couldn't bear it and bit him, and then backed out in pain.

Gu Yun didn't want to let go of Bai Kou so quickly. After lightly pecking Bai Kou on the cheek a few times, with the agility he had acquired through years of martial arts training, he aimed at the corner of his eyes, wrapped his arms around Bai Kou's waist, Watching her spin and fall together, they sat down firmly next to each other.

Bai Kou lay obediently in Gu Yun's arms and waited for him to speak, but Gu Yun didn't want to speak. Although becoming an imperial merchant was a great event worthy of opening a ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors, he only had one strong thought in his mind right now.

Everyone knows who is in charge of running this factory. In the future, if Bai Kou is really wronged by the young mistress, without him saying it, the young mistress will take the initiative to send her to the factory and never return home.

Bai Kou waited for a while, seeing that no one spoke, she was in a daze for some reason, so she yawned boredly and was about to get up.

Feeling a movement in his arms, Gu Yun instinctively hugged him even tighter, recovered from his daze, without even thinking about it, went to sneak up on Bai Kou's lips again, and moved the kiss to his cheeks and forehead.

Bai Kou felt as if she was being licked by a puppy again, she endured it speechlessly, until she found a gap and raised her hand to push away Gu Yun's face, seeing his dissatisfied and unhappy face, she laughed so hard Out of sight.

"A lot of time has passed since the announcement of the decree. If you take a rest today, if King Cheng is at home today, he may be coming soon."

It was as if to prove how powerful Bai Kou, the white half-immortal, was. Before Bai Kou finished speaking, Qing Lan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Master, there is a message from the gate, King Cheng is here."

Bai Kou covered her mouth and giggled happily, Gu Yun made an expression as if someone owed him a million pennies, and told Qing Lan outside in a muffled voice to wait for King Cheng to come in and lead her into the ear room.

Qinglan responded and went down to meet the guests outside the courtyard gate.

Bai Kou also got up, but Gu Yun suddenly took her hand, Bai Kou raised her eyebrows and smiled back, Gu Yun pouted, grabbed Bai Kou's wrist and poked under her, through several layers of clothes inside and outside, there was a A meaningful source of heat can be touched.

"Well, for the sake of a happy event today."

Bai Kou withdrew her hand, knelt upright, raised Gu Yun's chin, but only lightly pecked at the corner of his lips.

Gu Yun couldn't help but let out a breath, and suddenly covered his face with his hands and fell down, Bai Kou saw Gu Yun's ears turn red quickly, laughed loudly, stood up and left.

Entering the courtyard of the back building through the corner door, and walking down the corridor, Bai Kou still remembered the scene he saw before he left, and his stomach ached from laughing.

Although this prince is full of aggressiveness like a puppy, he is still a little virgin at heart.
