Chapter 292: Preparing to Return to Yong'an Town

Jiang Xiaoxiao also smiled: "Wan Wan Jie is also a kind-hearted person."

"You have the sweetest mouth." Su Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed and tapped her forehead with her finger.

She glanced at the bustling Zuifenglou and couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it, let's come back to eat next time."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile.

Seeing the waiter's behavior of driving people away just now, she was in no mood to eat at Zuifenglou either.

Although the waiter's actions weren't wrong—ancient people are superstitious and most prone to avoiding such things—she still felt a bit disgusted in her heart.

Come back to eat next time...

It's estimated there won't be a next time.

She looked up at the sky; their business in Xuzhou was finished, and it was about time to leave and return to Yong'an Town.

The two had been shopping for a day, and the time was about right, so they prepared to head home.

Returning to the villa, Prince Duan was not there; there were only a crowd of maids and old women serving.

Su Wanwan was happy again and hurriedly ordered the old women in the kitchen to prepare a table full of food.

The two ate and drank their fill, then each returned to their rooms to rest.

It was almost evening when Jiang Wei finally returned.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw various clothes, jewelry, and pastries piled almost to the ceiling...

Jiang Wei took two steps back, suspecting she had walked into the wrong room.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly popped her little head out from a pile of gift boxes and called out sweetly: "Mother!"

She hadn't walked into the wrong room.

Jiang Wei silently closed the door.

She scanned the items in the room again, her voice filled with helplessness: "Were all these sent by that Princess Duan?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Wanwan and I went to the street to buy them together today."

Jiang Wei picked up a nine-linked ring from the table and couldn't help but say: "This Princess Duan is indeed generous."

Indeed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded again; she spent money without even blinking.

If only she were that rich too.

Thinking of this, she asked Jiang Wei about those few shops.

"Except for that Meirenzhai, the shopkeepers of the others remain unchanged; let them continue to look after the business in the shops." Jiang Wei said, extending her palm and pulling out a thick stack of silver notes from thin air. "As for that Meirenzhai, I'm considering selling soap, so in the future, I'll let Mr. Bai be responsible for looking after the business."

Seeing that thick stack of silver notes, Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes went straight.

She knew her mother had gone to those shops today to check the accounts and collect money by the way.

She didn't expect the shops in Xuzhou to be so profitable.

She flipped through a few silver notes and saw that they were almost all in denominations of one thousand taels.

So many silver notes, they're rich, they're rich!!

Jiang Xiaoxiao touched the silver notes, smiling until her teeth were showing.

Jiang Wei glanced at her and said: "We should be returning to Yong'an Town soon; I'll go check the wharf tomorrow to see if there are any ships going to Yong'an Town."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned: "So early?"

Although she had long anticipated that they would return to Yong'an Town once the shop matters were resolved, she didn't expect it to be so early, leaving tomorrow?

Jiang Wei rubbed her temples and said: "Soap is selling even better in Xuzhou than I imagined; in just two days, two-thirds of these three thousand soaps have been sold, and there are many customers who have pre-ordered hundreds more. We must hurry back to Yuhe Village to speed up production."

And this was the result even after raising the price of the soap by two times.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned.

Has her family's soap become so famous that so much was sold as soon as they arrived in Xuzhou?

In fact, from the very beginning of the soap sales, the reputation of the soap had already spread to many places.

Coupled with the fact that Mr. Bai had already test-sold some here in Xuzhou, those who bought the first batch felt it was good to use; word of mouth spread, and the reputation of the soap became increasingly famous.

So as soon as Meirenzhai put the goods on the shelves, they were almost instantly snatched up.

"Then let's hurry up and set off for Yong'an Town!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

Nothing is more important than making money; they can come back to Xuzhou to play later, but the top priority is to focus on the soap business.

The mother and daughter finished washing up and went to sleep early.

However, Jiang Xiaoxiao, knowing that her family's soap was so popular, was too excited to fall asleep for a long time.

One moment she was thinking about what she could do after earning so much money, and the next she felt she should take advantage of the current big earnings to hoard food...

She vaguely remembered that in the original work, in the later stages, about two or three years later, wars inside and outside Dayin would break out one after another, never stopping, and in the end, they would even have to face invasion by enemy countries...

By then, there would be starvation everywhere, and she didn't know how many people would die; they should take advantage of these two years to hoard more food and clothes...

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought and thought, and didn't gradually fall asleep until the second half of the night.

When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside the window.

Sunlight shone through the window, illuminating the room very brightly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sat up abruptly; she had actually slept for so long!?

Where is her mother?

She subconsciously touched her side, and the bed was cold.

Her mother must have gone to the wharf very early.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up to dress and wash; knowing she was about to leave Xuzhou, she still had to go find Su Wanwan to say goodbye.

Arriving in front of the room where Su Wanwan lived, she saw two little maids standing quietly outside, holding hot water in their hands.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, subconsciously pointing at the room, and asked in a low voice: "Princess Duan hasn't gotten up yet?"

She actually got up even later than her?

The two little maids lowered their heads and replied in a low voice: "His Highness and the Princess are in the room and won't be getting up for a while."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the hot water they were holding, and her little face turned red.

"Cough, cough, then I'll come find her later."

After speaking, Jiang Xiaoxiao ran away as if fleeing.

Not long after she returned to her room, Jiang Wei came back.

In the season of late autumn and early winter, Jiang Wei had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly poured her a cup of water: "Mother, drink some water to moisten your throat first."

Looking at this, things shouldn't have gone very smoothly.

Sure enough, Jiang Wei said: "I went to the wharf to check, and there won't be a ship to Yong'an Town for another month."

"So late?" Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned upon hearing this.

The soap business is so urgent; if it takes a month to return to Yong'an Town, the opportunity will be lost.

Jiang Wei said: "The waterway won't work, so we can only take a horse carriage along the official road; if things go smoothly on the road, it will only take ten days or so to reach Yong'an Town."

Ten days or so is still better than waiting for a month.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Then let's take a horse carriage back."

Anyway, she was tired of taking the ship, so taking a horse carriage is fine.

Jiang Xiaoxiao scanned the big and small packages in the room, but if they took a horse carriage, they couldn't bring so many things back...

Just then, the door was knocked.

Su Wanwan's voice came from outside the door:

"Xiaoxiao, I heard from the maids that you came to look for me this morning; is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Wanwan was standing outside with a group of maids.

Her complexion was rosy, and she was in high spirits.

There was no sign of any fatigue at all.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter in her heart, why is the effect of her ability water so good? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 293 =====
