"Your son greets mother!" In the Purple Cloud Pavilion, Li Yin bowed to the beautiful woman sitting in the main seat, wearing a phoenix robe. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This time, he had gone too far. Empress Zhangsun had actually come.
"Get up quickly and come to me." Empress Zhangsun's voice was gentle, and with her stunning beauty and gentle appearance, it was no wonder that Li Shimin was mesmerized by her.
Li Yin walked over as he was told. Empress Zhangsun pulled him over and examined him carefully for a while before turning to Concubine Yang beside her."Yin 'er really lacks some hostility!”
Concubine Yang smiled," Sister has always been the most accurate in judging people. Yin 'er has sincerely repented, so I hope Sister can put in a good word for him in front of the Emperor!”
"Younger Sister, don't worry. Yin 'er is still young, who doesn't have their times when they are young and frivolous?”After she finished speaking, she glanced at the concubines who had arrived. She remembered something important and looked at Li Yin." Yin 'er, I heard that you bought a batch of magical shampoo from a mysterious Persian merchant. Is that true?"”
"Your son has indeed purchased a batch of such things, and Consort Mother has also used them for a period of time. This time, I'm preparing to send a few bottles to Imperial Mother!"”Li Yin secretly cursed his bad luck. How could he dare to accept Empress Zhangsun's money? But if he didn't accept it, how could he collect money from the other concubines?
Empress Zhangsun saw Li Yin's troubled expression and understood after thinking for a moment. She smiled lightly and said,""Yin 'er has been fined his monthly salary, so how can I ask you to give it away for free? How much is a bottle of your Rejoice?”
Li Yin looked gratefully at Empress Zhangsun and said the price he had already thought of." 200 yuan per bottle!”
The concubines nodded. This price was not too outrageous. They all whispered excitedly as they looked at the boxes of shampoo that were brought in.
"Leave me two boxes!" Empress Zhangsun had long heard of this magical shampoo. As the mother of a country, she paid more attention to her appearance, but she was too embarrassed to ask in the past. Now that Li Yin was openly selling it in the harem, she could buy some.
When he was in the prince's mansion, Li Yin had asked Jin Daqian to pack these Rejoice bottles into a box of ten bottles, a total of 420 boxes.
There were twenty bottles in two boxes, which was four taels of silver. For an empress, this was only pocket money. After getting the palace maid to pay, Empress Zhangsun left with the shampoo and asked Li Yin to come to her place when he was free. Li Yin understood her feelings. She was going back to try it.
After Empress Zhangsun paid, the other concubines also lost their temper and began to pay. In a short while, Li Yin's shampoo was sold out.
The 840 strings of copper coins were in his pocket. Li Yin was quite satisfied with this sale. Shampoos were consumables. Once they were used up, they could continue to sell. In the future, there would be endless income.
The concubines left in satisfaction. Concubine Yang said to Li Yin, who was still secretly happy,"The Empress is taking care of your face this time, do you understand?”
Li Yin nodded. The history books said that Empress Zhangsun was well-educated, gentle, and virtuous. It was indeed not fabricated." Your son understands. In the future, I will get someone to send some to mother regularly.”
"My son is really sensible!" Concubine Yang sighed with relief.
In the Liang residence, Jin Daqian placed a bag of copper coins on the accountant's table." Old Gao, account!”
"Money from selling shampoo?" Now, everyone in the Prince's mansion knew that the Sixth Prince had gone to the Imperial Palace to do business.
Jin Daqian nodded heavily." Our Sixth Prince is really a prodigal son who has turned over a new leaf. He is so good to us servants. His Highness said that the servants of the Prince's mansion will be rewarded with 200 yuan each."”
Accountant Gao rubbed his ears and said in disbelief,""Really? In the past, he would even deduct our wages!”
"Of course, he told me personally. That was in the past. You didn't see the change in His Highness after he fell into the well. He was always smiling at me when he woke up in the morning. Last time, when Third Brother in the kitchen made a mistake, he didn't even allow me to beat him with a wooden board. He said that he wanted to educate him.”
"I just hope that he can continue to be like this. I was originally thinking of quitting the accountant, but now that you say this, I'm a little hesitant!”
Jin Daqian slammed the table, startling the accountant." I suggest you don't resign. His Highness said that he would give us a monthly salary when the business earns more money in the future. I also planned to leave some time ago, but I don't want to leave now!”
"You old brat!" Accountant Gao stroked his beard and smiled.
Jin Daqian's round body trembled with his laughter.
"Where can I buy Rejoice?" According to the statistics of relevant people, in the seventh year of Zhenguan, this sentence became the most frequently used question in Chang 'an.
The concubines in the palace had already begun to use Rejoice, but it was commonly used in the palace, so they put the capital to show off outside the palace. When they went home to visit their relatives, they frequently participated in various socialites 'gatherings to show off their beautiful hair. Gradually, they brought the idea of "if you don't use Rejoice, you will lose your status" to the noble socialites in Chang' an. For a time, Chang 'an set off a craze to buy shampoo, but the shampoo was firmly controlled by Li Yin, and others couldn't counterfeit it. This was the effect that Li Yin was waiting for.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Soon, the news that the shampoo came from the Sixth Prince spread throughout Chang 'an. The front door of the Liang Mansion immediately became crowded with people.
"Your Highness, I missed you so much!" A young master who looked like a comedy actor broke through the heavy obstruction of the servants and found Li Yin, who was fishing by the pond of the palace.
At this moment, Li Yin was wearing a straw hat and his eyes were fixed on the water surface as if he had not heard the person's words at all.
The young master smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to chase away Yun 'er, who was fanning herself beside Li Yin. He sat down beside her and took over Yun' er's work.
"It's been a few months, but Sixth Prince is still as handsome and mysterious as before!”The young master continued to flatter him, but Li Yin still pretended not to hear him.
"Sixth Prince, are you fishing?”The young master had nothing to say, but Li Yin was still as calm as Mount Tai.
"Brother, I was wrong! I should have come long ago. I'll slap myself, I'll slap myself!”The young master began to self-harm. Two slaps shook the sky. Jin Daqian, who was at the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He was using his life to act!
At this moment, Li Yin's fishing hook finally moved. Li Yin took the opportunity to lift it up, but he was careless and the fishing hook wrapped around a branch on the pool.
When the self-mutilated young master saw this, he didn't say anything else. He jumped into the water with a "thud" and untied the hook, revealing two rows of white front teeth at Li.
Sighing, Li Yin was convinced. He really couldn't get rid of this guy. Ever since the news that Li Yin was selling the washing water spread, this guy had come to the prince's mansion.
Li Yin remembered this person. He was one of his bad friends back then. He originally didn't want to see him, but this guy really used the word "cheap" to the fullest, making Li Yin feel ashamed.
"Lu Boyan, you're the son of the Minister of Works. How can you be so shameless!”Li Yin pointed at the young master in the pool and used his father to humiliate him.
Lu Boyan, who was drenched all over, almost cried. If it wasn't for a few bottles of lotions, would he have wasted himself like this? Holding the fish that Li Yin had caught, Lu Boyan climbed up with a grief-stricken expression." Your Highness, I was wrong. It was my fault. In the future, as long as you say hello, I will be at your beck and call. I will be at your beck and call, as long as you can forgive me…"
"Alright! Alright! You must have taken a fancy to some girl and wanted to use the washing water to court her!”Lu Boyan's reputation as a lecherous and hungry ghost was all over Chang 'an. The only person who could make him so shameless could only be a woman.
Lu Boyan smiled awkwardly." Your Highness, you know me well. In the few months that you were gone, Chang 'an opened a place called Lichun Courtyard. The girls there are really beautiful. There is also a courtesan called Luo Xiaoyi. She is even more beautiful!”
Lu Boyan wiped his saliva and continued,""I was lucky enough to meet that courtesan once and have been dreaming about her ever since. However, Luo Xiaoyi doesn't care about money and only accepts guests based on her preferences. I was rejected several times. Your Highness, you must help me!”She pretended to wipe away her tears.
Li Yin was annoyed by him, which seriously affected his quality of life. He waved his hand and said, Butler Qian, give him two bottles!"
Lu Boyan beamed with joy." Your Highness, I'll go now. I'll visit again another day!”He followed Butler Jin eagerly.
"What kind of people are they!" Li Yang rubbed his brows in pain. They were really a bunch of scoundrels. They used people to be in front and did not need people to be behind.
In the past few days, Li Yin had met many old acquaintances. Many people had come to visit him. He had also received many gifts, but he knew that these people were all sent by his wife. With his mischievous reputation, no one was willing to deal with him. As the saying goes, courtesy should be returned. This was the rule. Li Yin also knew what they were here for, so he returned them with washing water.
Li Yin would not suffer a loss. This was exactly what he wanted. When these official wives and officials used his own washing water, it would be time for the money to roll in. It would not be easy to raise their living standards, especially for these socialites.
In the evening, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, picked up a secret letter that had just been sent after approving the memorial in Taiji Palace. On the letter were the reports of various secret agents in Chang 'an City, and Li's name was on it.
"Hmph, you're not doing your job!" Li Shimin scolded, but his tone was not very angry. To him, the current Li Yin was focused on doing business, which was much better than the past when he had nothing to do all day and bullied men and women.
After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Shimin went straight to Empress Zhangsun's Yanxi Palace." Speaking of which, this kid Li Yin did a good deed. His washing water is really good."”，Li Shiming thought as he sniffed his fragrant hair.
"What is the emperor thinking?" After Li Shimin arrived, Empress Zhangsun asked the servants to prepare a meal. However, when Li Shimin was eating, he was lost in thought from time to time. Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but ask.
"I'm thinking about my sons!" The incident at the Black Tortoise Sect had always been a pain in his heart. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he had always attached great importance to the education of his children. He did not want such a tragedy to repeat itself one day.
"You want to say yes, Sixth Brother!" Empress Zhangsun pursed her lips and chuckled." I think the current Sixth Brother is worthy of support. Haven't you always encouraged the industry and commerce? Now that Sixth Prince was involved in business, didn't this show how much the royal family valued merchants?”
Since ancient times, the dynasties had always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, believing that merchants were not involved in production and had a low status. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin changed his previous ethos and strongly supported commerce. He believed that only when commerce flourished could the court collect more taxes, and then use these taxes on the people. It was beneficial to the country and the family. It had to be said that Li Shimin's thinking was out of date.
"You're right. Then let Sixth Brother do what he wants. I want to see what else he can do!”Li Shi Min felt relieved.
(I'm so excited. 20 people have collected it.)）
