Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1408 Famine and Natural Disaster 566
Knowing that the old man wanted to test her, Mingyi remained calm and said, "If we go it alone, we might offend the families we have been friends with before, which is not worth the loss. It is not suitable for long-term planning. If we open up another way, we can only go to Fucheng to develop. To be honest, Fucheng has a huge market and is an important city for trade with foreign tribes. It is a good choice to develop in Fucheng."

"Who in our family is suitable to go to Fucheng to open the way?" Cheng Dazhu asked again.

Mingyi glanced at the faces of his two uncles, father and cousins ​​one by one and shook his head gently. None of them were suitable.

Cheng Dazhu smiled happily, "You have been at home for a short time, but you are very good at judging people; your eldest uncle is good at maintaining the family business, but not at exploring new things; your second uncle is an honest man, and he is not a good businessman; your father is a sour scholar who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes, but he lacks the courage to do business. As for your cousins, each of them is only suitable for guarding the family business, and none of them can go out and explore the world."

"You know everything, so why are you asking your granddaughter?" Maybe you have other plans.

"They are not suitable to run the business there, but we have your people here! I will build a soap workshop in Fucheng and let your people run it. I will give you 40% of the profits from the Fucheng workshop as your dowry in the future. Do you think it is feasible?"

Mingyi looked at the old man in front of him with amusement. Getting something for nothing?

"Grandfather, I can open a workshop in Fucheng by myself." His consent is not needed.

Cheng Dazhu's eyes, which had already turned cloudy, looked at him with scrutiny, "What are you talking about, kid? The soap business belongs to our Cheng family. It is the foundation of our Cheng family. How can we give it away so easily?"

"Whatever you say, it is." Whatever she wants, it's fine if she wants her people to work for free, but she also wants to benefit the whole family. She wants all the good things.

The original owner! She was young after all, and she never saw the Cheng family clearly until she died; she was not the original owner, and she still treated her as a fool who could be fooled.

The original owner was young, innocent and kind-hearted at that time; if the original owner was here, he might have agreed.

What a pity! She is not the original owner who is simple, kind and sensible.

Cheng Dazhu looked at his granddaughter for a long time and had to admit that she was growing up too fast, beyond his expectations, and was not someone he could control.

"Never mind, I'll give you 60%."

"Deal." Mingyi finalized it immediately. "I'll provide half of the money and manpower, and grandfather will also provide half of the money as a share. We are a family, and 40% of the net profit will be given to you."

As for how the old man would distribute it, Mingyi was neither worried nor concerned.

Cheng Mingli is the only promising person in Cheng Dazhu's lineage, and he is expected to enter officialdom; the family business will not let Mingli down, so there is no need for her to interfere.

"Write an agreement and sign and stamp it." Cheng Dazhu gave Cheng Yuanxi a look.

"I'll get it, Dad. Please wait a moment."

Cheng Yuanxi stood up and walked out of the hall. After a while, he returned with a tray in his hand. He placed the tray on the table so that everyone could see clearly what was inside: the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Cheng Dazhu dictated and Cheng Yuanxi wrote down a profit-sharing agreement; then Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Mingyi each signed and stamped their seals, and the agreement was finalized.

The whole family was a witness. After the deal was done, everyone took their own copy of the agreement.

Mingyi blew the ink off the paper, folded it and put it in her arms, actually putting it into the space; after that, she had lunch with her family. Cheng Dazhu and Mingyi were both very satisfied with this cooperation, and they left with smiles on their faces.

After returning to the courtyard where Mingyi was, Cheng Yuanxi, Chen Daya and Cheng Mingli sat down in the flower hall of Mingyi's bedroom.

"My daughter! How long can you stay this time? Will you have to leave in the future? Does what you discussed with your grandfather mean that you will leave again?" Chen Daya asked first.

"Don't worry, mother. I won't leave for now. At least I have to wait until after the new year. Besides, I don't have to go to the northwest for this business. Rong Mama who is beside me happens to be in the northwest. She can take care of it for me."

Chen Daya's nervous expression was relieved by her words, "That's good. You're not at home all year round, and your father and I have never seen you in these years. We have received many letters from you, but we always miss you when we don't see you."

"I'm sorry for making my parents worry. It's my fault." Mingyi said apologetically.

Cheng Mingli said cheerfully while sitting at the lower seat, "It's better if my sister doesn't go out. It's not good for a good girl to go out all the time. You are engaged to the prince, and you will only be at home for two or three years. If you go out again, our family will have even less time to spend together."

He really couldn't bear to leave his sister.

The little one grew up, got engaged, and was going to get married when she reached the age of 15, which really made him feel bad.

"When you met the Prince of Zhou, I didn't know whether it was right or wrong." With mixed feelings, he looked at his sister with complexity. He didn't want his sister to get married so early; however, the elders in the family had set a date, and Princess Zhou had also informed her, so they couldn't cancel the engagement.

The marriage may be delayed only if something goes wrong in the middle.

However, he also didn't want his sister's marriage to go wrong, and it would be best if it went smoothly; after all, it was the only wedding in his sister's life, and it should be perfect.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Chen Daya raised her hand and patted her son's shoulder. "Meeting the Prince of Zhou is not only a blessing for Yiyi, but also a blessing for our whole family. If it weren't for the Prince of Zhou, would we have the peaceful life we ​​have now? We might have been hooligans somewhere for many years. How could we have the peace and prosperity we have now?"

"Mom, I always feel that my family is at a loss because my sister is promised to the prince of Zhou." Cheng Mingli was unhappy and looked gloomy.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded in agreement, "Not only does our son feel this way, I feel the same way; Prince Zhou is very good, and our daughter is also very good! It's just that our family's status is too low, which holds our daughter back."

"Look at what Dad said." She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Status and position can be given by oneself or by others. No matter which one it is, as long as you are willing to work hard to improve yourself, that is the best."

Cheng Yuanxi was not comforted. He firmly believed that if his daughter was the daughter of a prince or noble, she would have achieved more than she did now. With his daughter's intelligence, she might have a different destiny.

Chen Daya sighed, "Your father and brother are right. If you were born into a large family, you would definitely live a more comfortable and relaxed life than with us. Your parents can't give you the free and unrestrained life you want."

"Mom and Dad, there is no need to be like this. You have been very good to me and given me the freedom I want. Look, have any other girls in our family ever gone out? Only I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want. I am much happier than them." She did not like the constraints of the Cheng family, nor did she want to be constrained; but then again, her parents did not make any rigid requirements on how she should live, and they would silently support what she wanted.
