Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Wang Zi'an glanced at her with a smile.

"Why expand production..."

"Make money, our perfume is so expensive and popular, producing one more bottle means a lot of income—"

Gao Yang was so anxious by Wang Zi'an's indifferent expression that he almost jumped up, and almost blurted out the sentence "You are stupid", but he didn't dare to - all count on this brother-in-law to make a fortune...

Seeing Gao Yang's turmoil, wanting to pounce on him to question him, Wang Zi'an quietly stepped back half a step helplessly, and pointed out impatiently.

"Our perfumes make money and are popular, but do you know why our perfumes are popular?"

"Because, because it is easy to use, the fragrance is mellow and lasts for a long time..."

Gao Yang was a little uncertain about Wang Zi'an's meaning, and while wracking his fingers, he summed up the benefits of his own perfume.

Wang Zi'an decided to educate his sister-in-law who is keen on making money. After all, where can I find such a good tool... Cough cough, beat a worker.

"What you said is true, but not all..."

"Master Hou..."

Although the back garden is secluded, there will always be maids and servants passing by occasionally.The maids and servants who passed by saw the two walking in the garden, and they all bowed sideways.

Wang Zi'an nodded slightly, then pointed to the water pavilion in the lotus pond at Gao Yang, and walked up the winding corridor first, Gao Yang followed very consciously, and sat down in the pavilion.

It's much quieter here, without his call, the servants in the mansion wouldn't come over to disturb him without winking.

"Why do you think our perfume sells for so much money..."

Seeing that Gao Yang was still puzzled, Wang Zi'an pointed to the koi swimming in the water with a smile.

"These koi are not only pleasing to the eye, but if you are really hungry, you can catch them to satisfy your hunger. To be honest, they are much more practical than our perfumes. Why can't the price be sold..."

"Because we, Li Tang, are not allowed to eat carp..."

Prince Ann:  …

It's not you who ate braised carp today, is it?
But what this girl said is correct, no one outside really dares to eat carp openly, even if they eat carp, everyone will tacitly think that what they eat is grass carp, silver carp, perch, red scale carp...

In short, no matter what kind of fish it is, it must be carp.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, wealthy families seldom ate carp. Although this fish tastes better than grass carp and silver carp, it is not as good as perch and red scale carp. It has many spines and is taboo. It's also a hassle.

"Ahem, I mean, the price, the price—"

"Because, because..."

This time, Gao Yang really couldn't answer.

She knew that perfume was more valuable than fish, but she didn't know why perfume was more valuable than fish, and finally stamped her feet in embarrassment.

"It's not because you set a high price!"

Wang Zi'an couldn't help laughing.

"These fish, you go out and set the price high, see if you can sell it..."

Gao Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, almost jumping up excitedly.

"I know, because only we can make perfume, but everyone can catch fish..."

Still clever!

"So, this is the rare thing that is the most expensive. Our perfume, which cannot be eaten by hunger or clothing by cold, is expensive. In the final analysis, it has become a luxury that everyone recognizes like those gold, silk, pearls and jade..."

Having said that, a playful smile flashed in Wang Zi'an's eyes.

"Now our perfume is no longer pure perfume, but a symbol of identity and status. Ordinary people, without any status, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it—"

Wang Zi'an looked at the thoughtful Gao Yang with a smile.

"This is the reason why our perfume is so popular, and it is also the reason why we are still selling well even though the price is high..."

Gao Yang suddenly realized, and stared at Wang Zi'an with sparkling eyes.

"So, that's why you've been asking me to sell it among the royal family and powerful families, but you've been limiting the number of private sales?"

Wang Zian smiled and said nothing.

Gao Yang slapped his thigh violently, and looked at Wang Zi'an with admiration.

"Brother-in-law, you are so treacherous!"

Prince Ann:  …

"But, why don't we take advantage of this enthusiasm to sell more..."

Gao Yang only felt that he seemed to understand it, but also didn't seem to understand it, as if he hadn't been pierced through a layer of film in between.

"It's sold too much, everyone has it, what's so rare about this thing to show off-this is called hunger marketing..."

Gao Yang couldn't help being dumbfounded!

He looked at Wang Zi'an as if he had seen a ghost.

"Brother-in-law, you are really scary, your heart is dark..."

Prince Ann:  …

"Do you still want to..."

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong, do it, do it, do it, I do it..."

It's a bastard to have money and not make money, and I'm not stupid, so why not make money.

"I'm going to inform the workshop to dry and store the extra flowers—no, I have to go back and ask them to suppress the production again, um, raise the price by [-]%, and say that there is a shortage of an extremely precious raw material , the output cannot keep up..."

This time it was Wang Zi'an's turn to be dumbfounded.

Ah, this-

Just like this, you still have the nerve to say that my heart is completely dark?

Soon, a gossip circulated inside Chang'an Datang Yangyanfang.

Due to the lack of a very precious spice in the perfume workshop recently, the production of perfume has been seriously affected. At present, the owner is trying to figure out a way...

While everyone was still guessing, a piece of news was soon confirmed.

The prices of Lanfu cream and perfume in Datang Beauty Workshop have been increased by [-]%, and there is a signboard of reluctance to sell at the door of the store.

That's pretty cool!

Some ladies who are used to perfume suddenly couldn't sit still.

Buy, buy, buy!
Soon, a long queue formed outside the store of Datang Yangyanfang.Those little sisters of Gao Yang, as well as some concubines in the palace, even directly entrusted their relationship to Gao Yang.

Lan skin cream and perfume are hard to find!
For the current Chang'an Hou Mansion, these are nothing more than trivial matters, and even Cheng Yinger, who is in charge of family affairs, seldom takes the initiative to ask questions because of her sleepiness due to her recent pregnancy.However, the old housekeeper, Gu Zhong, still brought over the ledger in a regular manner every month at the end of the month, asking the master to have a look.

At this time, Wang Zi'an would also look through it roughly.

It's not that you don't feel at ease, but that people's hearts cannot be tested, and there is no need to breed unnecessary troubles.

……

The sixth day of May.

Auspicious: Marriage, Marriage, Engagement, Engagement, Blessing, Planting.

It is the auspicious day chosen by Mr. Li Gang himself.

As a master, Wang Zi'an prepared gifts early in the morning, and took Li Yifu to Xu Jingzong's house to ask for marriage.

Marquis Chang'an came to the door in person to propose marriage to his apprentice.

Xu Mansion opened the middle door wide, and Xu Jingzong even brought his wife and children to greet him outside the door, giving enough face.

This was the first time Wang Zi'an met Xu Jingzong, and he looked slightly curiously at this guy who was known for his talent but lack of character and shamelessness in history.

Hey--

Not to mention, he looks like a dog, and he has a somewhat refined and easy-going temperament.

Such a face is really blind.

"The Marquis of Chang'an is here, the humble house is really full of splendor..."

Before Wang Zi'an could speak, Xu Jingzong took two quick steps, rushed forward, and saluted Wang Zi'an first.

"Xu Xueshi is really polite..."

Then, Xu Jingzong called his wife and son to meet Wang Zi'an and Li Yifu. His attitude was cordial and courteous. Taking this opportunity, Wang Zi'an subconsciously lingered on Xu Jingzong's sons.

Some wondered what the famous Xu Ang looked like.

Seeing Wang Zi'an looking at his sons, Xu Jingzong was overwhelmed, he hurriedly called his sons over, and greeted Wang Zi'an again.

"This is Xu Ang, the dog. I will ask Lord Hou to give me more advice in the future..."

Wang Zi'an glanced at it.

The skin is fair and delicate, just like his father, but he has a good skin.No wonder he was able to go down and down, and became a fellow with his father.Not knowing which father and son came first, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"This is not a polite place, Lord Hou, Li Yushi, please..."

After all, Xu's mansion is a family of officials and eunuchs. Although the mansion is not big, the furnishings are elegant and exquisite, with a lot of style, and there are many ornaments, one can tell it is quite old at a glance.

Seeing Wang Zi'an looking at the several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the living room, Xu Jingzong said modestly while ordering someone to serve tea.

"It's all graffiti made by the old man in his spare time. It can't be seen by the Fang family. It made Hou Ye laugh..."

Wang Zi'an praised him sincerely.

Should I say it or not, although my character is not very good, this calligraphy is really good, at least I have not mastered calligraphy skills,
"Bachelor, you are humble. Your word is dignified, simple, and unique. It has already become a bit majestic. Good word——"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my word is not worth mentioning in front of Lord Hou, not worth mentioning..."

While the two were talking, Xu Ang invited Xu Jingzong to the back garden.

It is said that they want the young people to get to know each other, but everyone knows it well, it is to arrange for two people to meet first.Although the Tang Dynasty paid attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, they were not as rigid as later generations.

Especially in this kind of big family, it is almost impossible for two young people not to know each other before they got married.

It was the first time for Wang Zi'an and Xu Jingzong to meet, and the two of them didn't have much communication before. In addition, Wang Zi'an was really not a long-sleeved and good at dancing, and it was the first time that Wang Zi'an was someone else's parent, bringing his apprentices to ask for marriage. Therefore, the whole The process seemed a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Xu Jingzong was very enthusiastic and proactive, and there was also Li Gang who was a moon old man in the middle, whether he was making jokes or not, at least there was no silence.

Wang Zi'an bit the bullet and persisted for a long time. After finishing all the procedures, he found an excuse and took Li Yifu to get up and leave.

But in his heart, he made up his mind to pay attention. When the next few disciples were looking for a wife again, they would not come to the door to propose marriage in person. This job is really difficult.

"Father, you are also a close vassal of His Majesty today, a well-known academician, why should you be so complacent and humble to Prince An..."

As soon as Wang Zi'an left, Xu Ang couldn't bear it anymore.

That guy is obviously about the same age as him, yet he is held down by his father to be a generation below him, he is simply indescribably unhappy!
"Hutu—do you think your father and I are willing?"

Xu Jingzong glanced impatiently at his dear friend.

"But can your father and I compare with others? Do you know that even a few elders in the court and a few generals in the army dare not be arrogant in front of Wang Zi'an, and even His Majesty respects three Minute……"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling this guy to get out of here quickly, out of sight and out of mind.

Xu Ang held his breath in his heart, turned his head and left, who knew that he had just walked to the door, and before he stepped out of the house, he listened to his father's uneasy instructions behind him.

"When you see the Marquis of Chang'an in the future, you must be respectful, lower your posture, and be more courteous than your father and I. If you can win his favor, I will give you a few words, or say a few words for your majesty. Good words, it will be more useful than your father asking for thousands of sentences from His Majesty, even your father and I have to rely on others for three points..."

Xu Ang: ...

I treat him like my own father, okay?
Of course, Wang Zi'an didn't know about the fact that others wanted to treat him as his own father behind his back, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be very happy.

That kind of big boy is even more terrifying than Lu Bu, who dares to provoke him?

Although Wang Zi'an was not optimistic about this marriage from the bottom of his heart, but Li Yifu himself was quite satisfied, so he didn't say anything more.This kind of thing, the parents of future generations will not be able to resist it.

In fact, if Wang Zi'an's future generations did not know that Xu Jingzong's family was in a mess, from the current point of view, such a marriage would have been regarded as a tall order for Li Yifu.

Although there was a county magistrate in Li Yifu's ancestors, the family is now completely dilapidated, and Xu Jingzong's family has been a family of officials since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially his father Xu Shanxin, who once became the Minister of Rites in the Sui Dynasty.

Even if he was just talking about himself, he was one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin family in the past, and now a close minister of His Majesty Li Shimin, he can be regarded as a high-ranking dignitary.

I really have no reason to object to this marriage.

Li Yifu's marriage was settled in this way. Under the management of Mr. Li Gang, the two sides have already started various tedious procedures such as accepting lottery and asking names.

Regarding these, although Wang Zi'an represented the parents of Li Yi's mansion, he didn't understand at all. On the contrary, it was thanks to Mrs. Sun who lived at home, who had been pulling Cheng Yaojin to take care of her.

Li Yifu is also clever, he behaved in front of Mrs. Sun and Cheng Yaojin, he really regarded himself as his grandson.

Mrs. Sun has always been full of praise for this great grandson, and she has been a little bit more energetic in handling the marriage.

It's not that Wang Zi'an didn't do anything, he asked Li Yifu to write a letter to his hometown, and then sent someone to pick up his parents from his home.

Naturally, parents cannot be absent from the important event of marriage.

While Chang'an Hou's Mansion was busy with the happy event of Li Yi's Mansion, Chang'an Hou's Mansion ushered in another happy event.
