    On the way home, Mengyao looked as usual, but Chen Xu was on tenterhooks. He talked sweetly, talked about sex, and later talked about building a swimming pool.  Chen Xu¡¯s idea to build a swimming pool in his mansion was not just a whim. His mother was in poor health and lacked exercise. As a son, he was quite worried.  It is said that people consume eight times more physical energy when swimming than usual. It can not only entertain but also enhance the body's resistance. Chen Xu really can't think of a better way to exercise than swimming. ?? Chen Mansion is located near the West Sea. There is an artificial lake in the mansion. The water source is not a problem. The key is how to design the water inlet and outlet of the swimming pool.  "Mengyao, please help me think about something." Mengyao was eager to prove herself. What made her feel satisfied was that her husband gave her enough opportunities, and she decisively agreed and promised to complete the task.  During dinner, Chen Xu talked about this matter with his mother again.  "Mom, when our swimming pool is built, you will have to swim for half an hour every day." In Yan State, there are not many opportunities for women to swim. Chen Ying'er was looking forward to it but also a little worried, "Xu'er, my mother can't swim.  " "I can teach you." Chen Xu thought of the errand of sending the princess off for marriage. He didn't know when he would return and how it would end. He didn't even know how to tell his mother and the others.  Looking at his mother and wife, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, "And you all have to learn." Chen Xu said to Xiaoyi and Xing'er Chen Ying'er watched his son and daughter-in-law go back to the room hand in hand, and saw Qiuyue.  In a daze, she took her hand and asked: "Yue'er, what are you thinking about?" "NoI didn't think about anything" Qiuyue said in a panic.  "Don't worry, after a few days, mother will decide for you to consummate your marriage with Xu'er." Qiuyue's face became even redder, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "My daughter is notnot in a hurry." This is a lifelong matter, and the future is long, she  There's really no rush.  Before going to bed, Qiuyue looked at the moon in the sky and muttered to herself.  Chen Xu felt that Mengyao was a little abnormal.  Mengyao was taking a bath, and he shamelessly came over to ask for a mandarin duck bath. Xing'er helped the lady undress and undress, and she helped Chen Xu undress.  "ThenXing'er, I'll do it myself." "What's there to avoid with Xing'er? She will be yours sooner or later." Mengyao sat in the bathtub and joked. Chen Xu's face was hot, but Xing'er was fussy.  She blushed deeply, took off Chen Xu's coat, closed her eyes and groped around Chen Xu's body.  "It's better that I do it myself. You should rest for a while first." Xing'er felt like she was being pardoned, so she said she went to make the bed and trotted away.  Myolie knelt beside the bed to make the bed, but she kept complaining to herself, why did she run out just now?  "My lord, I want to rub your back." Chen Xu enjoyed Mengyao's service, but he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.  "I said Mengyao, if you feel unhappy, you can just scold me, hit me twice or even bite me twice. The more you act like this, the less sure I feel." "I am not unhappy in my heart and mind." Meng  The corners of Yao's mouth turned up slightly, her mother's words were really good words.  The day after returning home, Qin Zheng sent someone to take his daughter back to her parents¡¯ home for a few days.  There are explanations for this matter: the official explanation is that the bride misses her family after leaving home and wants to go back to see her parents; in fact, the reason that cannot be stated openly is that the bride has just broken up, and the parents are worried that the groom will not understand the love and cherish the jade and let the girl go back to her parents' home to "heal her wounds"  ".  The visitor was the son of Qin Zheng's clan brother. According to seniority, Mengyao should call him cousin. The cousin was addicted to alcohol and Chen Xu repeatedly persuaded him to drink from noon to sunset. Instead of picking up the bride, the cousin simply  I also stayed at Chen Mansion, and when I woke up, the sun was already shining on my buttocks.  ¡°It is said that after Brother Second Heaven took Mengyao home, Mr. Qin cursed him all the time It would take at least three days or at most seven days for the bride to come home.  Mengyao rushed back on the morning of the third day. She already knew about Chen Xu's marriage to Princess Sirou.  As a newlywed, Mengyao was extremely reluctant to let go, but she couldn't change her feelings.  For the next ten days or so, the two were inseparable, riding together in the same carriage and sleeping in the same bed at night. Feng Qing would come over every day, sometimes alone and sometimes pulling Gu Pan'er.  Feng Qing didn't talk much in the first place, but now he is even more taciturn. Looking at the woman who is as light as a swallow and has a dignified manner, Chen Xu feels pity more than love. He wants to kiss her to confess his feelings, but Mengyao distracts her every time without leaving any trace.  Then she pulled Feng Qing and whispered.  Chen Xu just smiled bitterly. Since getting married, Mengyao has never been as petty as when she was a daughter. She even generously said what she would do when Xiaoqing gets married. He was originally wondering why Mengyao changed her mind.  Sex, now I understand that she just converted slogans into practical actions.  The three-fold umbrella was officially put on the market, and the people in the capital suddenly realized that Chen had a new pen again.  The soaps and soaps were well received and sold well. Ladies and wives who like soaps rushed to buy them in anticipation of more surprises that Chen would bring them.  Three-fold umbrella?Two major selling points: First, the steel curved umbrella ribs are exquisitely designed. Needless to say, the most peculiar thing is its material. The silvery-white shiny iron products are more eye-catching than silver products; secondly,  , beautiful umbrella surface, any umbrella is a wonderful work of art.  Ling Yuehua, with a big belly, finalized the price of the folding umbrella with Chen Xu.  "Ming Yang, how much does our umbrella cost? I think it should be at least one hundred taels." "One hundred taels? At least two hundred taels. Don't discount it because it's too expensive. You have to study those ladies and wives.  According to our shopping psychology, people who are willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a broken umbrella don¡¯t care about spending another hundred taels of silver. This is just a work drawn by an ordinary painter. If you have the opportunity to invite famous people from Yan State, you will see their works all over the sky.  Ask for the price, remember our slogan, don't ask for the best, but the most expensive." Ling Yuehua and his wife were stunned, Chen Xu laughed and said: "The last sentence is purely for entertainment." "Third brother, I found that you are really a profiteer.  "Yang Yunrui couldn't help but raise his thumbs. Thinking about the "marketing strategy" formulated by Chen Xu, if he was not a participant but a buyer, he might not be able to help but spend money to buy it.  How do you say that you still have to thank him for spending money?  After being sold, he still helped count the money.  Chen Xu smiled and said, "The price of soap and scented soap is set by the eldest lady. I have always felt that my sister-in-law is more profiteer than me." Ling Yuehua: "" Ling Yuehua and Chen Xu finalized the first batch of three-fold umbrellas.  Hundreds.  In the huge capital city, the supply of a hundred guns exceeded the demand, and they were all sold out within an hour.  Ling Yuehua is eight months pregnant and cannot deal with matters in the business world; Mengyao is good at research, but she is not good at socializing in the business world; Qiuyue is generous and has Ling Yuehua's style, but the soap business is always troubled  She is in charge, and she has no time to take care of herself at this time; as for Feng Qing and the others, they are not suitable either.  "Second brother, does your wife want to do something?" "Can she do it?" Feng Che looked at his wife with some uncertainty, but Kuang Yuhan was quite excited, and she said she could give it a try.  Kuang Yuhan "accepted the order on the spot", but Chen Xu and the others looked at her with admiration.  After all, she is a young lady from a big family. She can deal with those official ladies and rich wives with ease. Even if she occasionally misses something, the two "human spirits" Li Shiniang and Gu Pan'er can help her smooth things over.  "Our umbrellas are not easy to make. We only released 100 umbrellas in this first phase. Those sisters who want to buy but can't, don't worry. Our workshop is already working late at night to make them. You can make a reservation first and wait for the next one."  The umbrellas are made in batches and we will distribute them one by one according to the order of reservation. "I will order five first." After Kuang Yuhan finished speaking, a girl with a face like a cake said eagerly.  "Sister Wang, please forgive me. Considering that there are still many sisters who have made reservations, each person is limited to one handful." As soon as the "purchase restriction order" came out, some people were happy and some were sad Kuang Yuhan only knew that soaps were very expensive before, but now she knows what Rijin is.  For a lot of money, all one hundred folding umbrellas were sold, and the number of reservations exceeded 500. They even paid the deposit immediately.  According to preliminary estimates, the folding umbrella earned nearly 80,000 silver on the first day of its launch. She could hardly believe it.  In Kuang Yuhan's understanding, those who can make business bigger and stronger are all old Jianghu who are over fifty years old. They have been doing business for generations, and it took several generations of accumulation to achieve today's achievements; but now she has truly realized what the Yangtze River is.  The waves behind push the waves ahead.  According to Xianggong, Chen Xu came up with the idea of ??folding umbrellas in prison after being beaten by the late emperor. She even went to the Ministry of Punishment to visit her husband, but at that time she was too shy to notice that they had completed such an incredible idea.  It¡¯s amazing to have ideas and be able to put them into practice. The most commendable thing is that they are still so young.  Kuang Yuhan originally thought that after she got married, she would take care of her husband and raise children, and her life would be basically finalized. But now she knows that it can be so exciting.  The folding umbrella "press conference" was a complete success. Chen Xu proposed to celebrate. They booked the entire restaurant to reward all the employees of the umbrella making, steelmaking and soap workshops.  Chen Xu went around the table to toast, and he did not forget to say, "We have worked hard these days. At the end of the banquet, everyone will go to the cashier's office to receive red envelopes. This is a little thought from me." In modern society, companies pay for employees to have a meal.  It is really common; but in Yan State, it is a bit shocking. Merchants are still considered lowly in the eyes of scholars, but the boss of the merchant is a master in the eyes of workshop handicraftsmen.  Working in a workshop, earning a living and supporting the family, hard work is one's duty. How can the boss personally toast?  However, Chen Xu did it. His words were not deliberately artificial but came from the bottom of his heart. For ordinary people who are called grassroots pariahs in the workshop, gaining recognition from others can make them grateful even more than real money.  They were determined to keep doing it, but now they are even more determined to do so.  Chen?They all came, including the Qin family, the Feng couple, Yang Yunrui's mother, and even the elders from the Ningguo Duke's family and General Kuang's family.  Sitting in the private room upstairs, watching Chen Xu's every move through the open window lattice, perhaps not everyone agrees with the gesture of toasting ordinary people, but they have to admit that Chen Xu's hand is indeed beautiful.  ***************************************************  ********* Updated, please vote!  !  !
