Chapter 353: Female champion VS dandy 18 ┃ How much is a husband worth? (1/2)

Feng Ming had government affairs to deal with, and Zhuang Li had to go back to see his sister, so the two parted in front of the Zhuang Mansion.

"Tomorrow I'll go back to the study to read." Zhuang Li stood on the steps and waved.

Feng Ming looked at him reluctantly.

"I have a very poor memory, and I can't memorize an article with a few hundred words for hours. You have to urge me." Zhuang Li smiled brightly.

Feng Ming was stunned for a while, and then he laughed.

"I won't let you go home until you finish memorizing the book." He took the boy's hand.

Zhuang Li stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed the corner of his raised lips, then ran into the house.

Feng Ming stood at the door for a long time before turning back and leaving.

In the yard, Tan Lao was drying the medicine. When he saw Zhuang Li's slightly unnatural gait and the red marks on his neck, he immediately snorted: "Where did you go to be happy yesterday?"

"Have a good time with Feng Ming." Zhuang Li didn't hide it.

Old Tan's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked up and down at his apprentice, with a very surprised tone: "You small body, you and Feng Ming?"

Zhuang Li felt insulted. His skills are at SSS level, and I don't know how stronger he is than Feng Ming. The person who can't stand it is obviously Feng Ming!

Feng Ming almost died on him yesterday.

However, before he could defend himself, Mr. Tan hurried back to the house, took out a white porcelain jar, and instructed: "Go back and wipe yourself. In the future, wipe a little before going to bed every day, so that you can suffer less pain. You are not forced to right?"

"No, I'm with Feng Mingzheng's Bajing, and no one is forcing anyone." Zhuang Li explained seriously.

In this era, a master is equivalent to a father, and he naturally has nothing to say about his father.

Only then did Old Tan breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "That's good, or I'll give you a fake death medicine as a teacher and send you out of Beijing."

Zhuang Li walked forward with a smile and gently hugged Old Qin.

Old Qin pushed him away with disgust on his face, and couldn't help but laugh.

It's good that these two worrying children went together.

After Zhuang Li returned to the room, he fell asleep and woke up at noon. As soon as he got up, he heard his sister's whirring voice, "Brother, brother, give me an idea."

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Li put on his robe and opened the door lazily.

"Brother, did you have a good time last night?" Zhuang Xiaohui pointed at his neck full of red marks.

"Yes, I found a sister-in-law for you, and I will bring it back for you to take a look at." Zhuang Li was afraid of scaring his sister, so he only revealed a little bit of tone.

"Is my sister-in-law so powerful?" Zhuang Xiaohui swallowed.

Through these chaotic traces, she can fully imagine the unrestrained and enthusiastic sister-in-law. Ordinary women don't do this, do they?

"I'm much more powerful than your sister-in-law. He was almost leaked by me—"

Zhuang Li's browsing description was interrupted by Zhuang Xiaohui in time: "Brother, please stop! I'm a girl, are you sure you want me to listen to this?"

"Cough, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Zhuang Li took a sip from the teacup and asked seriously.

"This is a post sent to me by the textile trader. They invited me to go to Liuyunzhai to drink tea and watch a play this afternoon." Zhuang Xiaohui put a beautifully made post on the table.

Zhuang Li immediately guessed the intention of the Chamber of Commerce, and sneered: "They want to collectively pressure you to increase your prices?"

"Yes, our cotton cloth is of good quality and cheap. Almost everyone can afford it. It's been selling like crazy recently. Not only people from all over the city came to our shop to buy cloth, but people in the surrounding towns also heard the news. When I came here, there were a lot of people who had been on the road for a few days and nights. When they bought it, they were carried back in bundles, and some were towed by ox carts. The threshold of our store has been trampled down several times."

Zhuang Xiaohui was both proud and distressed: "In this case, other shops in the city will have no business, so they united to want me to increase the price."

"What do you think?" Zhuang Li did not advise his sister, but guided him step by step.

"I don't raise the price. Our cloth is produced by machines, with large output and low cost. We can still make a profit at this price. Although I can earn more after the price increase, many poor people cannot afford cloth. Seeing that autumn is coming, and winter is coming soon, I want everyone to buy cloth and make clothes to keep out the cold. I want to make money and be worthy of my conscience. "

The more Zhuang Xiaohui spoke, the firmer her tone became, and she had already made a decision.

"If you don't agree with the price increase, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely make moves. Can you guess their next move?" Zhuang Li continued to guide.

"They should join hands to monopolize my supply, and order all the cloth workshops or weaver girls not to sell me the cloth in their hands. But they never imagined that our cloth is produced by machines, and we don't need to go out to buy goods at all. Their monopoly is right I don't work, I'm not afraid of them."

Zhuang Xiaohui sneered disdainfully.
