Chapter 13 Ceremony during the Wanli Period
"That's probably what it is."
In the alley, the servant in Qingyi led the way was walking in front and counting the door. When he arrived at the place, he bowed to the door and said.
"Young Master, Mr. Shi lives here."
"Um."
Song Qiyu walked forward and just reached out to knock on the door knocker, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open. Seeing Shi Yiwen in the courtyard, his mouth was filled with foam.
"Zhiyuan...Huh, are you... brushing your teeth?"
Shi Yiwen, who was brushing his teeth, had foam in his mouth. Looking at Song Qiyu who was uninvited, nodded and asked him to sit down.
When he ordered the servant to put down the things, Song Qiyu looked at Shi Yiwen who was brushing his teeth with great interest. Although the foamy appearance of his mouth was completely different from brushing his teeth, it really aroused his interest. Although it was far apart, he still smelled a strange fragrance.
"Qiyu? You are..."
After rinsing his mouth, he put the toothbrush into the cup. Shi Yiwen looked at the burden lifted by the servant in the yard and looked at Song Qiyu in confusion.
"Be careful, Brother Shi uses what to brush his teeth? Is this fragrance really special?"
When she found that Shi Yiwen was speaking, Song Qiyu said curiously.
“Where, toothpaste.”
Shi Yiwen didn't hide it, and pointed to a porcelain box on the table and said.
"Toothpaste? Can you show it to me?"
Song Qiyu took it straight away and picked it up.
“This box is exquisite.”
Looking at Song Qiyu with a smile and silent voice, Shi Yiwen secretly shouted for gratitude.
"Luckily, I thought it through thoroughly!"
He brought the toothbrush and toothpaste in the supermarket, but out of caution, he squeezed the toothpaste into the ceramic tea cake box.
"This fragrance is so fresh. It seems that there are herbs in it. Could it be that this toothpaste is Zhiyuan's unique secret product?"
"It's just something that's hard to reach the elegance."
Looking at Shi Yiwen's white teeth as she smiled, Song Qiyu's heart moved and said seriously.
"The difference mentioned by Zhiyuan is that ordinary people use to brush their teeth, either add some herbs to green salt or mainly herbs. It is salty and hard to be salty and hard to eat. I smell this toothpaste, and it must be the same. If it can be produced in large quantities, it will definitely be sold well in various places..."
Looking at Song Qiyi in surprise, Shi Yiwen sighed at his shrewdness, but just by brushing his teeth, he could see the business opportunities.
"Oh, my brother has an idea?"
"I think, there is indeed. After all, not to mention other places, there are more than ten thousand families in Nandu. Even if this toothpaste is a little more expensive, I think they are willing to use toothpaste instead of salty and hard to make it."
Song Qiyi's thoughts made Shi Yiwen's eyes lit up.
This is indeed a business opportunity.
Perhaps, you can look in the library to see if there is a toothpaste formula. Even the toothpaste that cuts corners was a despicable existence in the Ming Dynasty.
Maybe consider it!
"The reason is this, but the toothpaste is extremely complicated to make, especially the raw materials are even more rare. If Ziyu has an idea, I will see if I can figure out a simple recipe another day."
With some thoughts, Shi Yiwen casually laid a foreshadowing. Of course, it is not necessarily limited to toothpaste, and you can also do other businesses.
"In this way, I will have a hard time Brother Zhiyuan."
The two of them chatted for a while, and Song Qiyu looked at the yard and said.
"The yard of Zhiyuan is quiet, but it's just too calm. It's really not convenient for you to live here alone and have no one to serve you, Xiao Lian."
"Young Master."
Shi Yiwen then noticed that there was an acquaintance among the maids of the Song family in the courtyard, the pretty little maid who served him to dress when he was in the Song family.
"Xiao Lian, Brother Zhiyuan is my benefactor of the Song family. In the future, you will be a member of the Shi family. You must serve him well, do you know?"
What's the situation?
This scene in front of him completely subverted Shi Yiwen's understanding.
"The jade, this, this... cannot be used, this cannot be used. This is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Qiyu smiled.
"Brother Zhiyuan, you don't need to worry. Xiao Lian is a slave of the Song family. Although he is young, he is quite well-behaved. Brother Tai lives alone, so how can no one take care of his daily life? I'm so kind. Brother Tai must not refuse. I will ask the butler to send it to him next day..."
The seemingly simple words only made Shi Yiwen's mind suddenly feel hot. He looked at the polite Song Qiyu, and listened to him giving a living person to others in the midst of the chat and laughter, completely ignoring the feelings of the parties involved.
She is a human, not a livestock!
"Xiao Lian, you must serve the new master well in the future and not insult the reputation of the Song family, do you know?"
"Young master, I understand."
He held back his tears, his face was filled with sadness and sympathy, and then he timidly saluted Shi Yiwen.
"I have seen the young master."
Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, holding back her tears, Shi Yiwen suddenly felt a sense of dissatisfaction and frowned.
"Ziyu, this is not suitable!"
“What’s wrong with this?”
Song Qiyu did not notice Shi Yiwen's displeasure and stood up and said.
"Brother Zhiyuan just finished washing up. I guess he won't bother me before he has breakfast."
Looking at the pile of gift boxes and maids in the yard, Shi Yiwen frowned, and when he looked at Xiao Lian, whose eyes were red, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Lian took a deep breath, took out the gift list from the gift box and said.
"Young Master, here is the gift list for the young master."
Seeing that he should act coquettishly in front of his parents by age in the future, enjoying the pretending strong look of the girl who was pampered by adults, Shi Yiwen sighed.
"Xiao Lian, actually, I don't need anyone to serve me here. I will talk to him about this and send you back..."
When Xiao Lian heard that he wanted to send himself back to the Song family, his eyes turned red again, and he quickly knelt down and begged.
"Young Master, don't tell the young master that you will send Xiao Lian back to the Song family. The Song family will not only not want me, but will blame Xiao Lian for not serving others. Maybe they will sell Xiao Lian to the Teeth Man, and maybe they will sell it to somewhere. If it is sold to a brothel, life will be worse than death. Xiao Lian begs the young master for kindness, so don't don't want Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian will do his best to serve the young master in the future..."
Looking at the crying look of the girl kneeling on the ground, Shi Yiwen hurriedly said.
"Xiao Lian, get up quickly, what are you doing?"
"Please beg your mercy, don't let Xiao Lian..."
The girl's kowtow and begging made Shi Yiwen helpless.
"Get up first, I promise you, I promise you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lian burst into tears and said with a smile.
"Young Master, this is a gift list given by Young Master Song. You are right, put this thing there, I'll take it over?"
"No, I'll take it myself later."
"Young master, I'll cook for you what you want to eat, that is, I, I don't know how to cook, but I know this famous breakfast in Nanjing. Do you want to try it..."
For a moment, in this quiet yard, there were only girls chattering, fearing that Xiao Lian, who was sent back to the Song family, was trying every means to please the new owner.
In response to this, Shi Yiwen just smiled helplessly.
"Whatever you want, just buy some breakfast."
At the same time, take out two ingots of silver from the gift box and put it on the stone table.
"Where, you can keep the money, just do these trivial matters at home in the future."
The young master's words made Xiao Lian's eyes lit up, and his little heart was so excited that he was "bang" and said, "I will be the butler in the future."
Shi Yiwen, who didn't know what Xiao Lian was thinking, casually unfolded the red paper gift list and was instantly shocked.
Chapter completed!
