Chapter 633 Performing their duties
After the party ended, Tong Mingli stayed and continued to discuss the regulations of the Pomegranate Club with Ning Peilan. Since it was going to be run, it should be organized in the direction of a regular club.

The two discussed an outline of the articles of association, and the time was indeed late. Ning Peilan sent Tong Mingli out, and on the way, she met Gu Yun who came in, holding a heavy package in his hand, saying it was a new product trial-produced by the glass factory. The couple tried it out.

Ning Peilan stopped seeing off the guests immediately, and pulled Tong Mingli to invite Gu Yun to the main hall to see the presents.

There are many servants in the main hall, and it's not a private place, but Tong Mingli looked at Gu Yun who was close at hand and concentrated on unpacking the package. Such a man with such good-looking eyebrows, such good-looking fingers, such a good-looking body, in short, a man who is good-looking in everything, makes people reluctant Turn your eyes away.

While peeking at people, Tong Mingli blushed involuntarily and waved a handkerchief pretending to be hot. As for the gift that Gu Yun brought, she didn't look at it carefully at all, she just echoed and said it was good-looking.

Ning Peilan observed Tong Mingli's reaction from the corner of her eye, and knew that this trick worked. Tong Mingli still had feelings for Gu Yun, and it didn't disappear just because she wanted to marry Liang Zhongshan.

The new things made by the glass factory are indeed very good, and many new and experienced masters have been added. The brothers Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang returned to Chunhefang where they were born and grew up, and recruited many skilled glass craftsmen and teenagers. They are apprentices. It turned out that the brothers were poor people who were kicked out by the stepmother who monopolized the family property, but now they are the objects of pursuit and curry favor.

Gu Yun turned into a warm and thoughtful businessman, with a pleasant smile, skillfully introducing his gifts and the recent situation of the factory, and chatting like this until Gong Changji came back, and Ning Peilan finally took Tong Mingli away.

Sitting on the carriage home, Tong Mingli held her red and hot face in her hands. The smiling face of Gu Yun's words just now lingered in her mind. She was excited and scared. Liang Tong's marriage was imminent. That was her high-ranking family. For herself , her own family and clan, she must marry.

But Gu Yun...

Tong Mingli suddenly realized that as the vice president of the Pomegranate Club, she happened to have the opportunity to come to Tianshuifang often, and Gu Yun had a good relationship with Gong Zhangji, so maybe she could see him like today again next time.

Thinking of this, Tong Mingli felt that her body was about to burn. She hugged herself tightly and took a deep breath, so that when the carriage arrived home, she finally got out of the carriage and entered the door in a normal manner, chatting in the mother's room. At that time, I only talked about the Pomegranate Society.

At the same time, Gu Yun had already finished talking with Gong Changji and his wife and returned to her home. Ning Peilan told her husband about her previous observations. Tong Mingli's feelings for Gu Yun still exist and it is worth continuing to develop.

"This is a protracted battle. I hope Tong Mingli will not suffer too much harm in the end."

"Her marriage to Liang Zhongshan is doomed to this national struggle. You and her are the only one who will not be injured." Gong Changji took his wife's hand, "You are my wife, my princess, I hope the one who is injured is not you."

Ning Peilan choked up a bit, lowered her head and threw herself into her husband's arms.

Three or four days later, Liang Zhongshan and Tong Mingli were formally engaged. Considering the time it took for the man to prepare for the wedding, and the fact that there would be no spring in the coming year, which is commonly known as the widow's year, the wedding date was set on the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the last auspicious day for marriage this year.

After hearing the news, the Shi Tianmin brothers and sisters had a small celebration at home. Only then did their parents realize that Liang Tong's marriage was a trick played by their son and daughter. To get rid of Liang Zhongshan's entanglement, and to stop Princess Yu's mouth by the way, it was a good deal after thinking about it, so I didn't blame the children for making their own decisions.

Compared with the happy brows of the Princess's Mansion, Princess Yu is naturally unhappy. She feels sorry for her younger brother who was taken advantage of by the woman's family in this marriage, so Zhang Luo sent four extremely beautiful beauties to her younger brother for engagement. Let him stay in her room to serve, she felt that Tong Mingli must not have many dowry servants, and she couldn't crowd out her husband's old people before marriage.

These four beauties made Liang Zhongshan use up the last bit of ointment in his hands, and if he didn't use that thing, he could obviously feel that the beauties under him were not as enthusiastic as before, and became like dead fish, for his own man With dignity, Liang Zhongshan had no choice but to find his little beauty and ask her to get some more pots of medicine.

Little Hongyan thought she had fallen out of favor, but when she saw someone coming again, she tried her best to pester Liang Zhongshan on the bed for a long time, and then agreed to help him get the medicine.

After wandering around for several days, Bai Kou suddenly received a letter from his eldest uncle Tang Lin, telling her that Liang Zhongshan was entrusting someone to buy medicine. Since he had already used up one box, his fertility must be finished. If he continues to use it, he will face the danger of sudden death.

Bai Kou wrote back directly and asked my uncle to provide two more boxes. If the medicine was suddenly stopped, a smart person like Liang Zhongshan would definitely realize that there was a problem. Unable to extricate themselves from the depression, they approached death.

After Tang Lin received the letter, he took action immediately, secretly delivered the medicine to Xiao Hongyan's hands, and Xiao Hongyan invited Liang Zhongshan again, and the two of them huddled together on the bed for a whole day with the help of the medicine.

During these days of lack of medicine, Liang Zhongshan's life was not good. Although there were many medicines used to cheer up men, after using a few flavors, he always felt that it was not as effective as the original ointment. These days, Liang Zhongshan feels that his masculine dignity has returned, and the romantic and talented man still lives up to his name.

University scholar Liang wanted to restrain his son from playing so crazy before marriage, but how could Liang Zhongshan, who was already in his 20s, listen to his father's dissuasion, and with the help and support of his sister, he would not spend the night outside at most. A bunch of beauties are enough for him to enjoy.

Outsiders naturally don't know about these private affairs, and Bai Kou didn't even mention Liang Zhongshan's purchase of medicine to Gu Yun. The two of them are doing their respective duties step by step every day.

Ning Peilan's Pomegranate Club was in full swing, and many brides-to-be who belonged to the same big circle joined in under the recommendation. While preparing for her own wedding, Tong Mingli earnestly fulfilled her errand as the vice president of the Pomegranate Club. , gradually accumulated some word of mouth and reputation, and barely moved a little closer to the class of the Liang Mansion.

Gu Yun used Gong Changji as a cover, as long as Tong Mingli came to Ning Peilan, four out of five times he would come to the door, and there were three times that the two would meet, but they would never get along alone, each time they were generous. Stand under the sun or in a crowded place.

Tong Mingli carefully hides her secrets. Every time she goes to Chengjun Prince's Mansion, from the moment she enters the door, she can't help but look forward to seeing Gu Yun's figure, and feels lost when she doesn't see anyone. The excitement and nervousness of jumping around makes her intoxicated, but then she will feel deeply ashamed and feel sorry for her family and fiancé.

Although I know intellectually that it is impossible to continue like this, but this feeling that is destined to be fruitless has already taken root and sprouted, and even if you pull the roots lightly, it will make your heart hurt so much that it will be hard to get more. Tong Mingli has no choice but to comfort herself over and over again. It would be fine if she got married, after marriage, she would definitely be loyal to her husband, and would never miss a single bit of Gu Yun.

Gu Yun skillfully seduced and teased Tong Mingli, while Bai Kou focused on managing the business. The new factory now has an increased output, making the business much easier to do. Moreover, the factory has mass-produced it. One purchase of raw materials is equivalent to completing a large business. Bargaining prices With the power on the factory side, the purchase price can be kept to a minimum, but the selling price is at the same level as the market price, and the corresponding profit is naturally quite considerable.

Bai Kou believes that as long as he persists for a year, the customers of those old-fashioned fragrance stores will be lost, and they will slowly turn to Xian Bu Diu.

Price wars are not easy to use, it will destroy the market order. Once customers get used to the price reductions of various merchants, it is equivalent to weakening their own profits. Merchants are all profit-seeking. Naturally, Bai Kou will not take the initiative to do such a stupid thing. During the New Year holidays, in the name of giving back to new and old customers, it is still possible to do some promotions and special sales.

So the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is just around the corner, is the first sale, but before that, the goods have to be distributed first.

If you want to distribute goods, you must first find a partner. Gu Yun only has one directly-operated shop, which is obviously not enough. Fortunately, he has abundant resources. The shops of the family, the shops of the Ou family, and the shops owned by Ning Peilan and Gong Changji, the shops of so many people add up, almost all over the capital, it is really a good channel for unified promotion.

For this unification event, Bai Kou invited the heads of all parties to hold a meeting together at Duke Ye's mansion. All the people who came were the shopkeepers. Gu Yun's study room was full. Before these men arrived one after another , Da Furen, Aunt Rong and Ning Peilan hid in the outer study first, and attended the whole meeting of this labor-intensive meeting.

Originally, each of the grocery stores under their command purchased their own goods from the factory, and it was the shopkeeper's own idea to offer some small discounts occasionally. Now Bai Kou called them to discuss the unified promotion and special sales for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Speaking of it, it was also the first time for the eldest girl to get on the sedan chair, and she felt very fresh.

Bai Kou was well-prepared, and asked Wanwen Bookstore to print a batch of poster samples in the form of New Year pictures. In addition, there was a plan book for everyone. The poster was the size of New Year pictures, and it was very suitable for posting at the door of the shop to attract the attention of passers-by.

The profit concessions given by the factory are all written in the plan, and the shopkeepers can do whatever they want to make their own decisions. If troubles arise, they will take care of themselves, and the factory will never take the blame.

Gu Yun was also present, he was the owner, he wanted to calm down the scene, otherwise these old shopkeepers might not give Bai Kou face, in case there was a quarrel with each other, Bai Kou was soft-spoken, and shouting loudly was useless, he The crown prince sits here, even if he doesn't say a word, it will work.

Besides, for such an important meeting, the owner should have shown up.
