Chapter 211 Soap
Although Concubine Wei was not the murderer of Concubine Lan, she was implicated in the case of Concubine Lan's death.
As a result, the Duke of Wei's mansion fell into decline.
He also lost his two most outstanding sons.
Who knows whether they hate the royal family in their hearts even though they don’t say anything on the surface?
Jing** had doubts in his heart, and the Duke of Wei was trying to protect itself, so the relationship between the two sides became increasingly distant.
At that time, Xiao Jingyi was still young.
When he grew up, he learned about the grudges involved and felt sorry for the innocent people of Weiguo Mansion being implicated.
Thinking back to the time when Concubine Wei and her mother were like sisters but she died because of her mother, she felt even more sorry for the Wei family.
He extended an olive branch to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion several times, wanting to help them, but the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion declined.
After being rejected several times in a row, Xiao Jingyi tactfully stopped bothering her.
This was originally just a grudge between Xiao Jingyi and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and had nothing to do with Yun Fuling.
But the fate in this world is so wonderful!
What a coincidence, the fourth young lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is Yun Fuling's aunt.
Speaking of this aunt, we have to mention Yun Fuling's maternal family.
Yun Fuling's maternal family name is Qin. Her maternal grandfather was a powerful general. The Qin family has guarded the northern border for generations to protect the peace of the border.
Later, the northern barbarians invaded, and my grandfather's family fought bloody battles to maintain the stability of the border, and all the men in the family died in the battle.
Only Yun Fuling's mother was in Beijing visiting relatives at the time and she managed to escape the disaster.
The person she came to Beijing to visit was the fourth wife of the Duke of Weiguo and her cousin Qin Hui.
The two sisters had a deep relationship since childhood, and after Qin Hui married to the capital, the two sisters often communicated with each other.
Later, Qin Hui became pregnant and wrote a letter to her family to announce the good news.
The Qin family was overjoyed after receiving the letter, and had people pack up a lot of things and send them to the capital.
Yun Fuling's mother took the opportunity to follow the delivery team and went to the capital.
One reason is that the capital city is prosperous and she has never been there, so she took this opportunity to visit the capital city.
The second is that the two sisters have been separated for a long time and miss each other.
Unexpectedly, the northern barbarians suddenly invaded in large numbers, and all the men of the Qin family were killed in the battle.
Only two daughters of the Qin family are still alive.
This is also the reason why Yun Fuling was bullied and murdered by Yun Gansong's family, but Yun Fuling had no outside family to rely on to stand up and support her.
This is because her grandfather's family died in the war for the country and she has no one to rely on.
Jing **'s recognition and preference for Yun Fuling, in addition to the Yun family, is also because she is the descendant of a loyal hero.
When Yun Fuling first returned to the capital, she sent a letter to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
It was just that Qin Hui was sent out with the fourth master of the Wei family and was not in the capital, so the two had not met each other since then.
This time the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was celebrating her birthday, and as a relative by marriage, Yun Fuling would naturally attend.
The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has been very low-key in recent years. They don't plan to hold a big celebration for the old lady's 60th birthday, and just invite some close relatives to have fun.
Who would have thought that on the day of the birthday banquet, Prince Yi and Princess Yi, along with the young master Xiao Jingmo, would come to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Everyone in the Duke of Wei's mansion was flattered.
The appearance of Prince Yi and Princess Yi made some people seem to sense something, so they prepared some gifts and went to the Duke of Wei's mansion to pay their birthday greetings.
The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion had kept a low profile for more than ten years, but because of a birthday banquet, it suddenly attracted much attention in the capital and returned to the attention of the powerful circle.
Although the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion lived in seclusion, she also heard about Yun Fuling's experience.
When the two met, Madam Wei took Yun Fuling's hand and asked about her well-being.
When Yun Fuling sent the letter to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, although Qin Hui and his wife were not in the capital, Old Madam Wei sent someone to reply to Yun Fuling and also sent someone to deliver the letter to Qin Hui.
Although the Wei family is not as powerful as before, they are willing to stand up for Yun Fuling and lend her a helping hand.
Although Yun Fuling did not let the Wei family intervene and dealt with Yun Gansong later, she still remembered this favor in her heart.
Not to mention that later when Qin Hui received news from the capital, she specially wrote a letter to Yun Fuling and sent her many things.
It was thanks to Qin Hui that Yun Fuling was able to get Yun Mu's dowry list and force Yun Gansong to give it up.
Therefore, Yun Fuling was very willing to have relatives in the Weiguo Mansion and interact with them.
Besides, the current situation of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is not very good, and Yun Fuling also intends to help them.
Madam Wei now has only two sons left.
The third master was born out of wedlock, but his biological mother died during childbirth, so he was raised by Madam Wei since childhood. The mother and son had a deep relationship, and they were like biological children.
However, the third master has average talent and ability, and is now in charge of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Weiguo Mansion.
The fourth master was the biological son of the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. Although he studied hard and passed the imperial examination, he was far from being as outstanding as his two older brothers.
Now he has been exiled to Jinzhou, serving as a county magistrate of the seventh rank.
However, there are some good prospects among the grandchildren of the Duke of Weiguo.
If they are well trained, they will become pillars of society in the future.
Madam Wei has worked hard for half her life and no longer has much ambition.
She doesn't ask her children and grandchildren to be successful or to hold high positions. She just wants them to live in peace!
Yun Fuling wished Madam Wei a happy birthday, met the younger generations of the Wei family, and gave them gifts.
After the birthday banquet, Xiao Jingyi said something to the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo in private, and the old lady's eyes turned slightly red.
When they left, the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo personally saw them off to the door.
After attending the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo, Yun Fuling did not go out again except for a follow-up visit to Madam Chu of the General Zhenguo Mansion.
She continued to lock herself in the room, focusing on her career plans.
Three days later, Yun Fuling went to the study in the front yard to find Xiao Jingyi, carrying a bunch of bottles and jars.
Xiao Jingyi looked at the bottles and jars on the table and asked curiously, "What are these?"
“This is facial soap.”
“This is soap.”
"This is body lotion."
"This is……"
……
Yun Fuling introduced them one by one.
I also took Xiao Jingyi to try it out.
Xiao Jingyi looked at his hands covered in ink and was amazed at how easily it could be washed off with soap.
And after washing, my hands still have a faint rose scent.
This soap is better to use than the bath beans he usually uses.
When I heard about the raw materials and cost of this soap, I realized it was many times cheaper than bath beans.
Bath beans contain a lot of precious spices, which are not only difficult to make but also very expensive, so ordinary people simply cannot afford them.
In addition to soap, the body lotion and other things brought by Yun Fuling are also very useful.
Xiao Jingyi was very good at leading troops in battle, had achievements in governing the country, and had a good vision in business.
As soon as he saw the things Yun Fuling took out, he saw the huge business opportunities hidden in them.
Considering how busy Yun Fuling had been recently and how he was asked to investigate the second wife of the Duke of Xiangguo, Mrs. Jiang, and the third wife of the Earl of Dongchang, Mrs. Wan, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
