Chapter 107 Show Up
Mu Chaoge followed his aunt-in-law and the female relatives, listening to their idle chat.
Most of them were about gossips about family matters, such as the daily trivialities of the mistress of the rear house, as well as some about flower appreciation, jewelry, rouge and powder and so on.
"I heard that Chaoge made his own tooth powder? I heard it's selling very well."
Others were also very curious.
"I've heard about this a long time ago, but I didn't expect Chaoge to have such ability at such a young age. He is really smart."
"But after meeting today, I think it's not surprising that Chaoge can make tooth powder. This child looks smart. You are so lucky to have such a smart niece. I'm afraid you will wake up laughing in your dreams."
Feng laughed when she heard that. "It's true. Chaoge's tooth powder is really beyond our expectations. Many people like it very much. It's selling very well now, and our caravan's reputation has also increased."
Not to mention other places.
Take Yongning City and the surrounding cities for example. Although there are several imitation tooth powders on the market, everyone still recognizes Mu Chaoge's brand.
After all, the quality is guaranteed.
"Yes, yes. Our relatives also have a grocery store in Youzhou. I wonder if Chaoge's tooth powder will be part of our business?"
"I also want to open a shop in our Yongning City this year. Will Chaoge sell it to me?"
Mu Chaoge smiled and said, "My uncle's caravan station is in Youzhou. If this aunt wants it, just come to the door. As for the tooth powder in Yongning City, I have already leased the ownership to Shopkeeper Qiao of Sifang Grocery. If you need it, you can buy it from him."
She smiled and said the wholesale price was a good deal.
Her words were watertight, she kept her true feelings to herself and was also protecting her uncle's business.
Everyone called her clever.
Feng's smile grew bigger and bigger, with a proud look on her face, but she said modestly: "Stop praising me. Even though my child is good, he can't stand being praised."
Everyone started laughing.
Feng took Mu Chaoge to introduce everyone, and Mu Chaoge also got to know the faces of many people, such as Mrs. Wang who was in the rouge and powder business, Mrs. Ni who was a big silkworm breeder, Mrs. Hao who was a tea merchant, etc., all of whom were from prominent backgrounds.
As the adults chatted, they inevitably turned to the matters going on inside the mansion.
They are all the legal wives and the mistress of the house, so they must have topics to talk about.
"Sister Feng is really lucky. Brother Lu is a sincere man. He lives with you alone. We don't have a bunch of concubines in our backyard."
"Is it? All the quarrels and jealousies every day give me a headache."
"My husband just got another concubine at the end of the year. She's such a devil."
Feng felt a little embarrassed when she heard about this. She was also worried about the fact that Mu Chaoge's mother married Mu Youcheng as a concubine, which made Mu Chaoge a concubine.
She was afraid that the child would feel sad after hearing this, so she quickly pushed Mu Chaoge to the group of children and said, "Chaoge, go ahead. Don't act like a little adult every day. Go and play with everyone."
She has introduced all the people who should be introduced. After all, the child is still young, so just showing his face is enough.
It is enough to let everyone know that there is such a person as Mu Chaoge, and that he is a child protected by the Lu family.
Feng’s purpose was achieved, and children should not listen too much to the remaining topics.
Mu Chaoge also nodded obediently, "Okay, then my aunt and the aunts can chat first."
She turned around and found a seat among the children over there. These children were originally chattering and became a little embarrassed when they saw her coming.
But some people were still curious and asked, "Are you the cousin of the Lu family?"
Mu Chaoge nodded calmly, not minding at all, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"No, no, I'm just asking. You look about the same age as us, how come you want to start a business? This is what adults should do."
This statement was echoed by others.
There was an inexplicable sense of overlap, because her cousins asked her the same question years ago.
I guess for people of her age, her behavior is really outrageous.
Mu Chaoge also knew that it was outrageous! She had no choice. The shell she came through was a little kid, but she had to show up in public to make a living. However, she had already explained it once, so she was too lazy to explain it again.
So I made up a lie, "Because I'm poor, I lack money, and I like to earn money on my own."
The children were chattering about something, and there was a little more love and affection in their eyes when they looked at her.
"Well, today is New Year's Day, let's not talk about these things. Come over here together, we will play with you. It's fate that we met."
"That's right, just call me Yiyu, we'll be acquainted today."
"Yeah, my name is Nianqing."
Seeing that they didn't ask her questions, Mu Chaoge immediately felt a little favorable towards them. They were indeed ladies from wealthy families, so they should be more polite, right?
"Hello, just call me Chaoge. Since we are so compatible, let's play together."
Mu Chaoge immersed herself in the group of children without much resistance. After getting used to it, she felt that it was okay and it was not uncomfortable to get along with them.
Moreover, these children are proficient in many things and know many strange and interesting things.
The most important thing is the human spirit of eating melons. They also know a lot of gossip. Mu Chaoge cracked melon seeds and listened to them, and he really enjoyed it.
From a father being intimate with a maid and being caught by the mother who made a big fuss, to a young lady flirting with a young man, to the battle between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
Xiao Taozi followed Mu Chaoge and listened intently, not even moving her legs.
These children were also talking excitedly, because there was an unknown Mu Chaoge, and her emotional value was directly raised to the maximum for them. The more shocked Mu Chaoge was, the more excited they talked, and all of them were talking with joy.
"I heard the other day that your father, Chaoge, rescued a beautiful dancer from a brothel and wanted to marry her as a concubine. Many of the concubines objected and I heard that they started a commotion. It was your eldest sister, Chaoge, who came out to mediate. Your eldest sister, Chaoge, is really amazing."
Just say gossip is useful, right?!
Mu Chaoge had never thought that such a thing would happen in the Mu family? A dancer?
She searched her memory for the original plot, and it seemed that there was such a person, but he only appeared in the later period. He was also one of the cannon fodder female supporting roles. His father was a scumbag and he was eating young grass. This person was arranged by the father of the male protagonist.
Then this supporting actress had been favored by the male lead, so she also had some feelings for him.
He did a lot of tricks on the heroine in secret.
That's a messy relationship.
Mu Chaoge kept shaking her head and making click-tsk-tsk sounds. She wasn't interested in listening to too much, nor did she have the time to care. After the spring thaw, it was time to plant crops in the farm's fields again!
This year she also plans to raise more chickens, ducks and geese, because she didn't expect that her uncles and aunts liked the cured food she made very much, so she plans to raise more and give them away as gifts.
