A time-travel story where I forcefully marry the leading lady in a film/TV series!

"Indeed, quite a few daughters of officials came to inquire, but not everyone paid to buy it."

"For the first three days, the Marquis gave me a hundred bottles of perfume every day."

"Aside from the ones I gave away at the family banquet, there are still 264 bottles for sale at Rouge Pavilion!"

"A total of 116 bottles were sold today, generating a total of 5,800 taels of silver!"

"According to the sales agreement between me and the Marquis, 580 taels of this share belongs to me! And 5,220 taels belong to the Marquis!"

"The money is currently in the accounting office of Rouge Pavilion, and the accounts will be settled at the end of the month!"

...Dou Zhao, holding the list, fluently recounted the sales figures for Rouge Pavilion perfume that day, along with the profit-sharing ratio.

This number shocked Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, who were standing next to them, leaving them speechless!

Good heavens! The Marquis made over five thousand taels in just one day?! No wonder he doesn't care about those seventy or eighty thousand taels of debt... At this rate, he'll probably pay it off in about half a month!

Thinking of this, Miao Ansu felt a little inferior again. Before, she had relied on her generous dowry and thought she would definitely be favored and valued by the Marquis, and would definitely become a good helper for Dou Zhao in the backyard.

Looking at their dowry now, although it seems like a lot, it's actually not even in the same league as the profits from the perfume business.

"My lord!" Zhao Zhangru blinked his big, round eyes and said, "At this rate, you'll be the richest man in the world in three to five years! Maybe even the imperial court will have to come to you for a loan!"

If that's really the case... that would be terrible!

Wei Tingyu was not happy at all after hearing Zhao Zhangru's words, because Zhao Zhangru did not realize how big a crisis was hidden in this!

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." He now has the ability to accumulate a huge amount of wealth, but with only these eighteen Silver Shadow Guards, he probably does not have the strength to protect the Marquis's mansion.

Of course, this crisis is not imminent!

Wei Tingyu estimated that he could at least have a year and a half to develop his skills, after which it would be impossible to hide them even if he wanted to...

"However, there is still a crisis right now!" Dou Zhao thought of another problem at this moment.

"How many noble ladies and wealthy merchants are there in JD.com?"

"This bottle of perfume could last a woman for six months!"

"I'm afraid that the current situation of selling more than 100 bottles a day won't last long, after all, our price is still quite high!"

"Once the market in the capital is saturated, selling ten or twenty bottles a day will be considered good!"

Dou Zhao frowned and voiced his concerns, which Zhao Zhangru and Miao Ansu silently nodded in agreement.

After all, they had been doing business with Dou Zhao for many years, so they naturally understood the concept of market saturation.

“So we must expand our market!” However, Wei Tingyu smiled slightly, then looked at Miao Ansu and said, “We’ll need to ask Susu’s family for help then!”

"My family?" Miao Ansu was taken aback, then asked, "My family is just in the shipping business... how could we possibly help you, Lord Marquis... Ah! Lord Marquis, you mean... transporting perfume to the south?"

Wei Tingyu nodded and said, "From now on, only ten bottles will be allowed to be purchased in the capital each day! Forty bottles will be sent to various prefectures in the Central Plains by official roads! Fifty bottles will be sold to Jiangnan by waterway! In this way, each prefecture will only be supplied with a few bottles a month! Naturally, the local officials and merchants will consume them all!"

"Your Excellency has a far-sighted vision!" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Dou Zhao's eyes widened with delight, and he then bowed deeply.

Who says this is just a nobleman's son who only knows music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and literature? He's clearly a tycoon!

With that business acumen, he's definitely much better than me!

"Rest assured, Your Excellency!" Miao Ansu was also very excited, as she knew she would be of great use. She quickly pledged her loyalty, saying, "Our Miao family will certainly not let Your Excellency down!"

The Miao family is in the shipping business, and they will inevitably monopolize the route for perfumes to be shipped to Jiangnan in the future! As the Marquis makes a fortune, her own family will also be able to get a share of the profits. Miao Ansu was excited just thinking about it.

This also means that one's parents' status in the entire family will rise dramatically!

"Huh? Su Su can also help the Marquis make money and do business?" However, Zhao Zhang was somewhat depressed at this moment.

Compared to Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu, he now seemed utterly worthless.

Not only was her dowry minimal, but she was also not very gentle. Even in terms of making money, she was not like Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu, who could both do abacus calculations and manage accounts, and also contribute to the actual sales and transportation process.

After thinking it over, the only decent person in my family is my father, who is an upright and incorruptible official who speaks out against wrongdoing!

He would be doing his daughter a favor by not having the stubbornness to come out and scold the Marquis in court one day, let alone expecting him to be of any help to the Marquis's mansion!

"Looking at it this way, I seem to be the most useless one!" Zhao Zhangru blinked, then pouted in a coquettish manner.

"Who said that?" Miao Ansu then jokingly teased Zhao Zhangru, "You... could give the Marquis a son in the future!"

"Is this all I can do?" Zhao Zhangru was even more displeased upon hearing this: "Besides, you two can do this too! It's not like I'm the only one who can do it. The things you do for the Marquis are things I can't do..."

"Alright, alright, this is getting more and more inappropriate!" Dou Zhao couldn't help but blush as he listened to the two women's conversation. Had this concubine become so open-minded immediately after entering the mansion?

At the same time, her eyes also turned to Wei Tingyu, and the meaning in her gaze was quite clear.

As the head of the household, shouldn't you step forward and say something?

Before Wei Tingyu could even speak, the sound of the night watchman's drum rang out from outside.

Everyone then realized that they had been so engrossed in calculating the accounts and then getting too absorbed in talking about doing business that they hadn't noticed how late it had gotten.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle again, after all, today was the auspicious day that the Marquis had taken two new concubines.

But who should stay in the room to serve me tonight?

Thinking of this, the three women all looked at Wei Tingyu, making him, the man, feel a little embarrassed.

Good heavens! I've never felt this happy, not even in my dreams!

Three beautiful women of different appearances stood gracefully in front of him, allowing him to choose at will. Any man would be thrilled by such a scene!

Chapter 44 Two concubines! Neither of them can bear to part with the other!

“My lord, it’s getting late, you should rest!” Dou Zhao finally couldn’t help but speak up when he saw Wei Tingyu’s eyes darting back and forth between the three of them.

However, as soon as she said this, both Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru blushed and lowered their heads.

Unlike Dou Zhao, a young married woman, these two were still innocent girls! The thought of becoming the Marquis's woman today and completely transforming into a woman made it impossible not to feel shy!

"Then tonight..." Wei Tingyu found it difficult to say, and could only give an awkward laugh before asking, "Who's available tonight..."

"My lord! Do you still want us, your wives, to say it ourselves?" Zhao Zhangru, perhaps overwhelmed with shyness, recklessly threw caution to the wind! She abruptly raised her head and stared at Wei Tingyu, saying, "Will you keep me or keep Susu? Give me a straight answer!"

Good heavens! What a tiger girl!

Wei Tingyu was completely dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Zhao Zhangru to be so straightforward!

Can I keep both of them? It seems like not choosing either one would hurt the other's feelings! Wei Tingyu was faced with a rather frustrating dilemma…

Who told me to be so lovable?! They insisted on coming in together, and now I'm caught in a dilemma!

But why is Dou Zhao standing between the two women with a gossipy expression?

"My lord, please make your decision quickly! I need to go and rest too!" Dou Zhao blinked and then looked at Wei Tingyu as she spoke.

"My lady, if you want to rest, just go and rest. Why do you have to wait for me to decide before you can rest?" Wei Tingyu was puzzled. After all, Dou Zhao must have already known that she wouldn't be staying tonight when she brought her two best friends into the mansion today.

Besides, Dou Zhao had made it very clear before that after three consecutive nights of this unique favor, she simply couldn't bear it anymore, which is why she took the initiative to take a concubine for him! There's no reason why this girl would recover in just one day and want to share a bed with him again, right?

"If you don't choose first, how am I supposed to know who to take with me?" Dou Zhao said with a sly smile.

"What do you mean?" Wei Tingyu was stunned. These two are both my concubines! Which one do you want to take away?

"Choose one, cousin or Susu! I'll take the other one with me! She'll sleep with me tonight!" Dou Zhao chuckled, feeling that her scheme had succeeded when she saw Wei Tingyu's bewildered expression.

Good heavens! So you're not just taking concubines for me, you're taking them for yourself too! So if you don't spend the night with me, you're going to spend it with yourself?

However, seeing Dou Zhao's expression, Wei Tingyu knew that the girl was just joking on purpose.

Girls, it's perfectly normal for them to kiss and hug when they're on good terms! Especially these three best friends who grew up together. Before they entered the Marquis's mansion, the three girls often slept in the same bed and talked about their feelings at night.

Now that they've all entered the Marquis's residence, they're practically thriving!

So it turns out I'm just one of the three girls, Prey!

However, it's not that easy to fool me. Gu Tingye's eyes lit up and a plan immediately came to mind.

Then, he casually waved to Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, signaling them to come to his side.

Both women were stunned. Why did the Marquis have to call them closer? Did he need to take a good look at them before making a decision?

But it makes sense when you think about it, after all, women dress up for those they want to please!

The two women are dressed very beautifully now, isn't it all to catch the Marquis's eye?

After all, tonight marks the beginning of a new life for both of them, and they naturally don't want to be neglected by their husbands.

Having figured this out, Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru exchanged a glance, then slowly moved to Wei Tingyu's side at the same time, standing there gracefully side by side as if they had planned it, waiting for their future husband to choose them.

But with the two women looking so charming and alluring, Wei Tingyu's eyes darted back and forth between their faces, making him even more unable to decide, as if he were overwhelmed by the choices!

Fortunately, both of them were his concubines. If he had to choose only one, he really wouldn't know what to do.

"Has the Marquis made his choice?" Dou Zhao, standing to the side watching this scene, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She even stepped forward and stood behind Wei Tingyu, looking at her two best friends, whose faces were flushed with embarrassment, as if they were helping the Marquis make his choice.

"It's difficult!" Wei Tingyu shook his head, looking very troubled.

Difficult? What's difficult about it?

Dou Zhao inwardly complained after hearing Wei Tingyu's words!

You were staring so intently at your two best friends, your eyes practically popping out of your heads! Now, with two beauties right in front of you to choose from, you're finding it hard to decide?!

Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru's hearts pounded with anxiety! From a certain perspective, the two women's feelings were quite complex!
