Chapter 197: Chapter 197 The Proposal of the Elderly Dowager Dugu_1

Shen Tianxing looked at the lively Dugu elder and his wife, her eyes curving into a smile, "Grandpa, Granny, it’s only nine o’clock. I’m early enough, right? I came here especially early to spend time with both of you."

The Dugu elder and his wife, hearing her words, also burst into hearty laughter.

The old lady called her over, "Come here, Xiaoxing, come and sit next to Granny!"

The elder, on the other hand, eyed the gift bag in Shen Tianxing’s hand and unapologetically asked, "Little Xingxing, is that bag you’re holding filled with the New Year’s gifts for me?"

"Yes, Grandpa, you’re really smart!"

As people age, they become like children; it takes sweet talk to make them happy.

Shen Tianxing, with a smile, took a seat and took out the gifts she had brought for them.

As she handed them out, she explained, "These are Nourishing Pills, Spiritual Wine, and Spiritual Tea for you and dad, one set for each of you."

"And this is for Granny and Mom—a set of Nourishing Pills, skincare products, and nourishing face masks, all personally prepared by me, and they’re exceptionally effective."

The old lady, upon hearing Shen Tianxing’s words, suddenly remembered the persistent requests and pleas from the old sisters and younger generations in the compound; they had begged her so many times that she’d find it embarrassing not to mention it to them.

So the old lady tentatively asked Xiaoxing, "The old grannies and aunts here in the Imperial Compound want to buy these skincare products after seeing how much younger your mom and I look. Can we sell them some? They’re all quite wealthy and can afford it; you can treat these skincare and nutritional products like luxury goods to make a bit of pocket money. But if it’s too tiring for you, then never mind!"

Shen Tianxing considered it; every woman in the Imperial Compound came from a powerful background. If nurtured well, these connections could be beneficial to her.

Though she didn’t need them now, it was always good to prepare for the future.

Plus, now that the old lady was speaking on their behalf, it implied her approval of Shen Tianxing doing business with them.

With that in mind, Shen Tianxing smiled and asked, "Granny, how many people are we talking about? If it’s not too many, I can manage for now. But if there are too many, I’ll need to find another way."

The old lady chuckled, "Not many people are able to reach out to me, around ten families, give or take. Each has two or three women, so roughly thirty sets should do."

"Thirty sets, that’s doable. I can deliver them to you in a week."

At this point, Shen Tianxing asked the old lady, "Granny, in your opinion, how much should these items cost?"

The old lady deliberated for a while before answering, "This skincare set gives people the effect of having new skin, visibily instant. If it’s marketed as a top luxury product, then let’s set it at a hundred thousand per set. A small bottle of the mask could go for ten thousand. As for the Nourishing Pills, Xiaoxing, are you willing to sell them?"

Shen Tianxing replied, "I can sell them, but it would have to be limited in quantity. After all, they are made from precious herbs, and you both have experienced their benefits. For the general public, the effects are excellent. If taken regularly, they could eradicate all sorts of illnesses. If we do sell, a small bottle of twenty pills should go for no less than a million."

The old lady waved her hand generously, "It’s just a million, those people have plenty of money. If with such a small sum they can buy a healthy body, they’ll certainly scramble to buy it. I think even a million is too cheap, let’s make it two million. Twenty pills in a small bottle can last over a year, one pill per month, which averages to around a hundred thousand a month. Anyone in the Imperial Compound can afford that."

The Dugu elder laughed, endorsing the old lady’s words, "That’s right! Xiaoxing, just sell a few bottles a month, supply them in limited quantities. With a good product, you have to create demand to drive up the price, right?"

Dugu Zixi also nodded, "Grandpa and Granny are right, Xiaoxing. You should do it this way, so you won’t have to toil every day making elixirs."

He also secretly communicated with Shen Tianxing using Divine Sense Transmission Sound, "I’ll help you make these Nourishing Pills in the future."

For Zixi, who had regained his memories as the Fairy King, making elixirs for mortal use was practically an overkill, akin to using a cleaver to kill a chicken.

Shen Tianxing took their advice and smiled, nodding, "Alright, I’ll do as you say."

Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi spent the entire morning chatting with the old couple.

After having lunch with them, Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi excused themselves to visit Weng Lanlan and Ning Ziyi to deliver some New Year’s gifts.

The Dugu elder and his wife understood Shen Tianxing’s filial piety thoroughly, only repeatedly insisting that they come back for dinner.

Shen Tianxing didn’t commit outright but rather diplomatically said, "Granny, we’ll see how things go in the afternoon. If we don’t come back for dinner, I’ll call you in advance."

The old lady nodded, "Alright, then go ahead. Be careful outside and call us if anything comes up!"

Shen Tianxing cheerfully responded, "We know, Granny! Goodbye, Grandpa, Granny!"

"Goodbye!"

The old lady watched Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi leave hand-in-hand and remarked to the elder with some emotion, "It’s touching that Xiaoxing still has such filial piety. She’s such a good child!"

The Dugu elder nodded, "Although she’s young, she has a clear sense of people’s worth."

The old lady also praised with a smile, "Indeed, Xiaoxing is sensible, filial, obedient, and capable. I really like her from the bottom of my heart. Apart from this granddaughter-in-law, I wouldn’t approve of anyone else."

The Dugu elder gave her a look, "You talk as if someone’s forcing you to pick another granddaughter-in-law."

The old lady glared back at him, "You might joke, but there are indeed people who won’t give up and keep flaunting their granddaughters in front of me. Sometimes I get so annoyed seeing them."

The elder looked at her speechlessly, "If it annoys you that much, then don’t meet with them. Why bother?"

The old lady snorted, "These are old friends, and for a game of mahjong, you need four people to keep it going. You can’t just cut ties abruptly; you have to play along!"

Meanwhile, as the elders chatted, Shen Tianxing had already hopped into the black luxury car driven by Dugu Zixi, speeding off towards the homes of Weng Lanlan and Ning Ziyi.
