Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 534
Wei Mingcheng knew that Ming concubine trusted him, and because he knew, he couldn't live up to this trust.

Some things, he can directly make up his mind, but some things, he can't.

The maid passing by was not a place to talk, Wei Mingcheng said, "Go and sit in the gazebo over there."

Ming concubine walked over to the gazebo, and Xi'er brought tea and pastries.

The gazebo is windy and the breeze is gentle.

After Ming concubine sat down, she looked at Weiming City. Weiming City didn't delay, and said straight to the point, "The pearl ointment on the shop is selling very well. The Shen family wants to buy more and sell them to various places in Dajingchao."

The Shen family's business spread all over the Dajing Dynasty, and this rouge and gouache shop accounted for one-tenth of the Shen family's business.

Mr. Shen is a shrewd person, and his business is to buy and sell things. Pearl ointment is only available in Kyoto, and it is not found anywhere else. If this name is put out on the things that the wealthy wives and ladies like in Kyoto, there will be a lot of people rushing to buy them.

With such a good business right in front of you, how could Mr. Shen miss it?
Moreover, the Shen family has an advantage over others in doing this business. The pearl ointment was opened by the concubine of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and Wei Mingcheng helped manage it. This is not called a back door, it is an open door.

As soon as Master Shen thought about it, he consulted with Wei Mingcheng.

Ming concubine told Wei Mingcheng that she would help the prince get rid of those ugly pearls, and the sooner the better, if others asked him to order a large amount of pearl ointment, he would directly agree.

But Mr. Shen is his adoptive father who has raised him for more than ten years, and he has always treated him like his own life. He is his sister on the one hand and his adoptive father on the other. Wei Mingcheng is in trouble.

Doing business with relatives is the most difficult thing, Wei Mingcheng felt that he should not get involved, so he came to find Ming concubine.

This business should be discussed with Mr. Shen Mingming.

Wei Mingcheng was avoiding taboo on purpose, Ming concubine could feel it, after all, he was her elder brother, Ming concubine said with a smile, "Big brother finds it inconvenient, then I will talk to Elder Shen."

"Let Master Shen come to the palace to discuss with you?" Wei Mingcheng said.

"Let's go to Hou Mansion," Ming concubine thought for a while.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her in Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and behind Mr. Shen is the incomparably wealthy Shen family, so it's hard not to attract attention.

She didn't want to be interrogated and interrogated, she should go to Dingbeihou's mansion to discuss and clean up.

Wei Mingcheng had no objection to Ming concubine's arrangement, he was just worried that there would be an accident when Ming concubine left the mansion, he said, "Tomorrow I will pick you up."

Ming concubine nodded and smiled, "Then there will be Brother Lao."

Wei Mingcheng laughed, "I still see each other like this with my elder brother, then I'll go back home first."

Mingyu got up and sent him away.

Poor Xi'er just brought tea and pastries, Wei Mingcheng left before they were served.

Ming concubine sent Wei Mingcheng out of the mansion, and did not return to Chen Xiangxuan until he could no longer see anyone.

The next day, after greeting the old lady, Ming concubine went to the Hengwu courtyard of the princess, who was pruning the flowers and branches.

Seeing Ming concubine coming, she smiled and said, "Why are you here today? I thought I was going to send a maid to urge you to learn how to manage accounts, so you came here."

Ming concubine blinked and said, "I'm here to talk to my concubine, I have something to go back to the Hou's mansion, and I will learn how to manage accounts with my concubine when I come back."

The concubine knew about Wei Mingcheng's visit to Ming Concubine yesterday, and she also knew that Ming Concubine had done a major event recently, that is, she discovered the fraud in the imperial examination, and she only came back a few days ago, if it was not necessary, it should not be so frequent go back.

The princess nodded and said, "Take more people, be careful on the road."

Ming concubine nodded like pounding garlic.

Here she left the mansion, and Wei Mingcheng came to pick her up on horseback, the timing was just right.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Dingbei Hou's Mansion.

Coincidentally, as soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw the carriage of Dongning Hou Mansion approaching, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the pretty face of Shen Miaoyan, the third girl of Dongning Hou Mansion.

Of course, it wasn't just Third Miss Shen Shen Miaoyan who came, but also the eldest wife of Dongning Houfu.

Mrs. Shen fell in love with Xie Wanhua and wanted to marry back to be her daughter-in-law, but the old lady was still hesitating. Mrs. Shen's visit this time should be for the sake of her son's marriage.

Seeing Ming Concubine, Shen Miaoyan helped the servant girl get off the carriage, walked over and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you and come back."

Ming Concubine smiled brilliantly, but when Shen Miaoyan saw Wei Mingcheng, her cheeks blushed and she quickly lowered her head.

Wei Mingcheng said, "Mrs. Shen, please come inside."

Mrs. Shen also looked at Wei Mingcheng with a smile on her face, she stepped up the steps while Shen Miaoyan helped Ming concubine to step over the threshold.

Shen Miaoyan and Ming Concubine had not seen each other for a long time and had many things to say to her, but unfortunately, Ming Concubine did not have much time and she came back today to attend to business.

Director Li came up to him and said, "Concubine Shi, Master Shen is playing chess with Lord Hou in the study."

Ming concubine nodded, looked at Shen Miaoyan and Mrs. Shen and said, "I have something to do with my father, I will go to the inner courtyard later, let the servant girl lead you there first."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "The concubine is busy first."

Ming concubine smiled at her, and after the maid took them away, she and Wei Mingcheng went to the study to find Master Shen.

Inside the study.

Marquis Dingbei and Grand Master Shen met each other, and the two fought fiercely and heartily.

Dingbeihou said with a smile, "Master Shen is superb at chess, Cheng'er has got your true inheritance."

Master Shen said modestly, "Master Hou, don't praise me. If Cheng'er grows up beside Master Hou, his chess skills will be even higher than now."

Marquis Dingbei was proud of having a son like Wei Mingcheng, while Grand Master Shen was proud of raising such a good son.

The two love Wei Mingcheng equally, and they hit it off even more.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Master Shen glanced and saw Ming Concubine walking over.

If it was Weiming City, he would not be able to get up, but it was Ming Concubine who came in. She was the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan, the benefactor of his daughter, and not only his daughter, but also Mrs. Shen. Ming Concubine prescribed the medicine , Mrs. Shen took it every day, and her complexion improved greatly.

He later went to the doctor to see the prescription, and the doctor said it was for the treatment of the eldest wife's postpartum sequelae.

The prescription is excellent, and if you take it for three months, you may be able to conceive again.

Although it is a little embarrassing to have a child at an old age, it is more precious to have a son when you are old, especially after Wei Mingcheng recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, he will have no legitimate sons. Inheriting the Shen family's property, if he can have another son who is half as good as Cheng'er, he will have no regrets in this life.

Furthermore, in the business field, the minimum rules must be understood, Mr. Shen can distinguish clearly, Weiming City is Weiming City, and Ming Concubine is Ming Concubine.

He will not dare to call himself an elder in front of Ming concubine just because he has raised Wei Mingcheng for more than ten years.

He got up to salute Ming Concubine, Ming Concubine said, "Master Shen, you are welcome, you are an elder, you don't need to be more polite to me."

Dingbeihou said with a smile, "For a family, if there are too many etiquettes, it will be too honorable."

"Yes, yes," Elder Shen said with a smile.

Ming concubine greeted Dingbeihou, and Dingbeihou was very satisfied with how Ming concubine's daughter looked, and he only felt that it was cheap for Chu Mochen.

The servant girl brought the tea in, and Ming concubine asked straight to the point, "How much pearl ointment does Mr. Shen want?"
