Chapter 196 Wen Yunhong's Wedding
Xie Qianlian understood the implication in Wen Yuxia's words: the bridal chamber could only be set up in Wen Yunhong's own residence, not in the Lin family mansion. After the marriage, the young couple could live wherever they wanted. Looking at her aunt's slightly pale face...
Xie Qianlian said gently, "The bridal chamber should rightfully be located in the Wen family home. Mu Hua, my aunt and uncle only have one daughter. Do you think it's possible to leave an heir for the Lin family?"
"Yes, of course! Let Xiaoxiao have a few more children. Their second child can take the mother's surname, Lin," Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile.
Xie Bangyuan only gave birth to one daughter, and the Lin family had long coveted their property. Her parents-in-law repeatedly proposed that the children of Lin Zhifu's two older brothers be adopted by them, but she had never agreed.
With Wen Yuxia's promise, Xie Bangyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face, and she sincerely said, "Thank you!"
Everything was ready at Wen Yunhong's house. Butler Tang would regularly send people over to clean. The wedding was on the eighth day of next month, and Wen Yuxia had sent the couple to Wen Yunhong's house for them to stay temporarily.
Then, she sent Butler Tang to Wen Yunhong's residence to arrange everything needed for the wedding. Afterward, Wen Yuxia took Wen Yunhong back to her spatial dimension to inventory their assets.
Wen Yunhong owns three farms, one in Beijing and two in Xinchuan County. The house and farmland where Old Master Wen currently lives in Xinghua Village, Xinchuan County, are all under Wen Yunhong's name.
Wen Yunhong owns four shares of the profits from the racetrack in Xinchuan County. The annual profits are deposited into a money exchange by Steward Li. Wen Yunhong also owns two shops in Xinchuan County, and Steward Li also deposits the rent from these shops into the money exchange.
The house and land that Wen Dashan lives in Fancheng also belong to Wen Yunhong. In addition to the residence Wen Yunhong currently lives in, there are two shops in the capital. The rent from these shops is also deposited in a money exchange on Wen Yunhong's behalf.
Wen Yuxia took out the house deeds, land deeds, and deposit slips from the money exchange that belonged to Wen Yunhong. Then she gave Wen Yunhong fifty gold bricks that she had stolen from the gold mine in Weixian County.
She moved all the jewelry that Lu Mubai and Xia Yichen had given to Wen Yunhong out of her spatial storage, and then took two boxes of her own jewelry to give to Wen Yunhong as well.
"These are all yours. You can give them to your wife or keep them yourself," Wen Yuxia said, handing him the bank's deposit slips.
"Sister, please keep the gold bricks, deposit certificates, and the property deeds and land deeds from Xinchuan County for me. Lin Xiaoxiao will collect the rent from the farm and shops in Beijing from now on..." Wen Yunhong said seriously.
The profits from his farm on the outskirts of Beijing, the rent from his two shops in the capital, plus his monthly salary, were enough to support his family. The four chests of jewelry were stored in the warehouse as a facade.
He didn't intend to hand over his businesses in Xinchuan County or the silver stored in the money exchange to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Wen Yuxia nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll keep it for you." Heh, so this kid isn't completely stupid; he knows how to save money for himself.
After a slight pause, Wen Yuxia continued, "I'm entrusting you with the business in the capital and Fancheng. After all the business is tallied each year, I'll give you 10% of the profits as a reward for your hard work."
Wen Yunhong stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Ten percent profit?"
Wen Yuxia owns numerous businesses in Beijing and Fancheng. Wen Yunhong doesn't know how much a tenth of the profits would amount to, but he does know that Wen Yuxia's dividends from the leisure town exceed the total profits of all his businesses.
Wen Yuxia rolled her eyes at him. "What, you think it's not enough?" "No, no, no, it's too much," Wen Yunhong quickly waved his hands.
“I’ll leave the business to you. From now on, I can relax. Do a good job and help me earn money, which will also help yourself,” Wen Yuxia patted his shoulder.
Wen Yunhong nodded emphatically. In the days that followed, Wen Yunhong was extremely busy, preparing for the wedding while also familiarizing himself with business opportunities in both the capital and Fancheng.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't idle either; she stayed home learning household management from Xie Bangyuan.
On their wedding day, the Wen residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Wen Yunhong rode a tall horse, beaming with joy, to the Lin residence to fetch his bride. After the wedding ceremony, guests offered their blessings.
After their marriage, the young couple were very loving, and Lin Xiaoxiao managed the household very well. Seeing their harmonious relationship, Wen Dashan felt very gratified.
"Xiao Qi, we're going back to Fancheng tomorrow. Bring Xiao Xiao back for a visit when you have time," Wen Dashan said to Wen Yunhong after packing their luggage.
When Wen Yunhong got married, apart from Wen Yunhai who lived far away in Weixian, Wen Yunqing and others all came to the wedding banquet.
Wen Zibai didn't want to cause trouble for Wen Yunhong, so he, Wen Zihua, their three sisters-in-law (Yang), and the wives and children of Wen Yunqing and others did not come.
Wen Dashan wanted Wen Yunhong to take Lin Xiaoxiao back so the family could have a reunion dinner together.
Wen Yunhong said with a faint smile, "Okay."
After seeing Wen Dashan off, Wen Yuxia went to Yunyi Tower. Yun Zhiqian had already signed a 30/70 revenue-sharing agreement with her, and she would no longer be involved in the production and sales of the scented soap in Yunxiao Kingdom.
Aside from Daxia, sales in other countries were handled by the Nangong family. Nangong Wenrui, representing the family, signed an agreement with Wen Yuxia, maintaining the 30/70 revenue split.
The 30% bonus that Yun Zhiqian gave to Wen Yuxia was to be divided among Wen Yuxia, Nangong Wenrui, and Xia Yichen.
According to the agreement signed between the Nangong family and Wen Yuxia, the 30% that belonged to Wen Yuxia did not include Nangong Wenrui; instead, Wen Yuxia, Wen Yunhong, and Xia Yichen each held one share.
"Brother, I've already signed agreements with Yunxiao Kingdom and other countries regarding the production and sale of scented soap. How should we sign the agreement with Great Xia? Could you give me some advice?" Wen Yuxia had come to Yunyi Tower to negotiate with Xia Yichen about profit sharing from the production and sale of Great Xia scented soap.
Xia Yichen was surprised to hear that he received a share of the profits from Yunxiao Kingdom and other countries. He looked at Wen Yuxia in surprise and thought to himself that it was a great decision to befriend this girl. He would definitely include her in any money-making opportunities.
"Like in other countries, it's a 30/70 split, and I'll be responsible for the site and initial investment," Xia Yichen, who had already gotten a huge advantage, proactively stated that he would take 30% and Wen Yuxia 70%.
Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "My brother will take 30%, I will take 40%, and Yun Hong, Jia Rui, Ji Ting, Jin Xuan, Chi Yu, and Xiao Yu will each take 50%."
Xia Yichen said with a smile, "Over the years, I've never thought of giving Jinxuan and the others any benefits. You've thought of it for me, thank you!"
After the two reached an agreement, Xia Yichen went to arrange the construction of the workshop, while Wen Yuxia returned home to continue her research on the types of scented soap.
Peony, plum blossom, lotus, rose, daffodil, camellia, jasmine, wild chrysanthemum... Wen Yuxia made twelve different scented soaps in one go.
Wen Yuxia gave the newly made scented soap to Wen Yunhong and Lin Xiaoxiao to try. Lin Xiaoxiao smelled the delicate plum blossom scent of the soap and exclaimed with delight, "Sister, the scented soap smells so good!"
Wen Yunhong nodded in agreement, "Sister, if this is launched on the market, I'm afraid other soaps will have no market."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuxia smiled and said modestly, "Once the scented soap is released, people will soon imitate it. This is also a way for me to make a quick buck. By the way, I've discussed it with the Crown Prince, and you'll get half a percent of the profits from the scented soap."
Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and she said with a sweet smile, "Thank you for your guidance, sister."
Wen Yunhong understood that Wen Yuxia's offer of a share of the profits to Lin Xiaoxiao was actually a way to save the money for Lin Xiaoxiao's household expenses. He calmly replied, "Thank you!"
Soon after, the first batch of scented soap hit the market, attracting the nobility and wealthy women of the capital who eagerly bought it.
To make scented soap more accessible to a wider range of people, Wen Yuxia specifically set the price for jasmine-scented soap at the same level as regular soap.
With the launch of scented soap, merchants flocked to the workshop to order soaps of various scents. The jasmine scented soap was the most ordered, as it was affordable and sold the best among all the scented soaps.
