Mrs. Dugu nodded with satisfaction.
Mrs. Dugu told Mrs. Dou after she first told Li Jiancheng.
Mrs. Dou’s face changed, and her fingers tucked her clothes tightly, saying, “The soap business is the first business that the two children have done. Now they have just started to improve, so they give it to their elder brother’s concubine. Outsiders know that they may suspect that Dalang robs his younger brother’s property.”
Old Mrs. Dugu said dissatisfiedly, “How can this be called robbing? Sanlang has handed over the soap business to the Duke Tang Mansion. You would rather give up the married daughter to take care of it than Dalang. What’s the point?! Do you have to treat Dalang harshly if Dalang doesn’t grow up by your side?”
Mrs. Dou immediately cried and knelt down and said, “My wife dare not. My wife is thinking about Dalang. This business of Duke Zhong will definitely be handed over to Dalang’s wife, but firstly, Mrs. Zheng is just a mother, how can she host the gift? When Mrs. Zheng entered the future, Mrs. Zheng had been the hostess in the Duke of Tang’s mansion for many years. How should Mrs. Zheng deal with herself?”
Old Mrs. Dugu frowned and looked a little hesitant.
Mrs. Dou continued to cry, “Besides, everyone in the capital knows that the soap was figured out by Erlang Saburo. Now that Erlang Saburo is just sick, the soap business has not made money, it was taken by Dalang’s mother. Isn’t it in vain for Erlang Saburo to put in soap? Even if we make up for it later, how should outsiders say Dalang? Dalang will definitely not be unfriendly. They will definitely say that Mrs. Zheng is greedy and instigate Dalang. Wouldn’t this detriment of Mrs. Zheng’s reputation?”
Mrs. Dou wiped her tears and observed the expression of Mrs. Dugu.
Old Lady Dugu said angrily, “I have already told Dalang!”
Mrs. Dou tightened her nails and suggested carefully, “Miss Zheng is virtuous and definitely unwilling to do so. Dalang should not have been involved in these bad things. Even if it is a wife and concubine in the family, he should have dated officials and female relatives. After Erlang and Sanlang play, the wife will give these things to the slaves and will not let Erlang Sanlang continue to interfere.”
Old Lady Dugu sighed and said, “Get up.”
Mrs. Dou stood up, wiped away her tears, and lowered her head and waited quietly for Mrs. Dugu to think.
After a while, Mrs. Dugu sighed, “Erlang and Sanlang will definitely enter the official career in the future, and they should not interfere too much in merchant affairs. Dalang must not be involved in this matter. I thought Mrs. Zheng was just a mother, so it would be fine if her reputation was a little bad. But you made sense, maybe others would use it to slander Dalang.”
Old Mrs. Dugu reflected. Money is touching. Although soap has not been sold yet, judging from the enthusiasm of the nobles in Beijing for soap, we can foresee how much money it is, so she immediately thought of letting Dalang take control of the money.
Erlang Sanlang is still young and shouldn’t have taken too much money, so he will change his temper. They should study quietly so that they can better help Dalang in the future.
And soap isIt is the business of the Duke of Tang Dynasty. The Duke of Tang Dynasty belongs to Dalang, so he shouldn’t be too impatient now. Just wait until Gongzhong makes money and let Dalang use it at will.
Old Lady Dugu said, “You go and talk to Mrs. Zheng and let her refuse. Dalang… Forget it, I’ll go and talk. He didn’t like merchants at first, so I won’t force him. But you should take the soap matter back to the public as soon as possible, and don’t let the daughters marry out. What do you want the Chai family to think of us?”
Mrs. Dou said respectfully, “Yes, the wife will do it immediately.”
She finally let go of her heart.
Mrs. Dou’s heart showed Li Xuanba’s glittering expression when she mentioned the future plan for the soap business.
Sanlang has been weak and sick since childhood and suffered a lot, which leads to his premature puberty. She had never seen Saburo look so happy.
She understood that her mother-in-law wanted to give Dalang any good things she saw. But how young Erlang Sanlang is? When the elder brother robs his younger brother who is nine years younger than him, wouldn’t others laugh at Dalang? Erlang Sanlang would also be dissatisfied with Dalang.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law realized that this was a stupid move and didn’t persist, alas.

“Ahem, thank Grandma Zhang for helping me.” Li Xuanba said to the wet nurse, “Using the reason my second brother and I have improved health, I will give some money to my grandmother and the servants around me, thank them for taking care of me and my second brother. The older grandparents will give me an extra portion of medicinal materials.”
The wet nurse immediately understood and said, “Part Zhang’s legs are a little sore, I will help Po Zhang choose medicinal materials.”
Li Xuanba said, “When giving me medicine, please tell Grandma Zhang to take care of herself and don’t make my grandmother angry.”
The wet nurse said, “I know.”
