Starting with a choice of a wife, a princess, a female general, and a down-on-her-luck Young Miss. But in this Warring States period, beauty is worthless; you need someone strong and capable. Excus...
The soap that Sun Jian wanted to make was not simply made by mixing lard, caustic soda, and salt and boiling them together.
Not only must it have a smooth and attractive shape, but most importantly, it must smell good! And it must have strong cleaning power!
And it has to have different flavors!
Therefore, its raw materials include not only lard, caustic soda, salt, and water.
It also requires various spices, powdered dried flower stamens, and materials such as soapberry and mint.
As for perfume, Sun Jian modeled it after the later-used Liushen floral water.
Not only can it repel mosquitoes, but it can also be used as a fashion item.
The reason for preparing in advance is that the materials for perfumes and soaps need to be processed and handled over a certain period of time.
Sun Jian simply wrote down the raw materials and effects for them in advance so that they could purchase the goods and promote them. As for the production process, Sun Jian would teach them step by step later.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone, let's split up and get on with our tasks!"
Sun Jian waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.
Apart from the three women, the others all bowed respectfully to Sun Jian before leaving.
With everything arranged in the shop and workshop, Sun Jian originally wanted to take a good rest and catch up on some sleep.
Unexpectedly, I received a system notification at this moment.
"Ding! The system has detected that Zhou Wan'er's favorability towards you has increased by 6 points, and the current value is 47 points."
Oh my god!
Zhou Wan'er's favorability rating has finally been triggered.
I'm already 47, just three points away from reaching the peak.
If Zhou Wan'er reaches 50 points, then I can get another legendary lottery gift pack, which is wonderful.
If that's the case, then why bother going back to sleep!
Why not seize today's opportunity and take the three girls sightseeing and having fun!
Tonight, sleeping with three women in the same bed won't be a dream!
With such high numbers, and with the help of Forget-Worry Valley... having all three of them serve me together, there definitely won't be any more problems!
Thinking of this, Sun Jian became extremely excited, because the image of three naked women facing him had already appeared in his mind...
wipe!
Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
"My ladies, I'm enjoying a rare day off today. The weather outside is quite nice, how about I take you for a stroll to relax?"
Suppressing his excitement, Sun Jianqiang spoke these words to the three women.
"OK!"
"Very good!"
The three women had been cooped up in the Sun residence for a long time and were eager to go out for a stroll. When Sun Jian made the suggestion, all three women readily agreed.
The four hit it off immediately. Sun Jian didn't hesitate and appointed two centurions and four soldiers as his personal guards. He then hitched up a carriage and left the Sun residence through the back door with the three women.
"Oh no!"
After getting into the carriage, Sun Jian originally wanted to embrace two women on either side and enjoy some tender moments together.
But just as the carriage set off, he suddenly remembered something.
He had previously promised Crown Prince Li Gancheng and Princess Changle Li Ganrou that if he returned from the Tiger Army, he would take them to tour the capital and have a good time for a day.
Sun Jian has been back at his residence for two days now, so the brother and sister must have heard the news by now.
I bet right now, one is in the palace and the other is in the East Palace, both waiting for me to take them out to play...
It's not easy for them to go out unless there's an emergency; otherwise, they can only sneak away.
Because princes and princesses were required to report to the Imperial Household Department when they went out.
Just like when the Crown Prince went to Governor Yao's residence with Sun Jian last time, Governor Yao would need to report and verify it.
Any act that doesn't match will be considered unfilial and should not be performed.
Because the crown prince is the heir apparent, his life is of paramount importance, and absolutely nothing can happen to him...
Leaving the residence without a valid reason is a violation of the rules and will not only result in punishment, but in more serious cases, impeachment.
Especially the Imperial Censor Zhuang Qishi. Don't be fooled by the old man's kind appearance. He is the teacher of the Crown Prince and Sun Jian. But once the Crown Prince does something like this, he will be the first to stand up and attack the Crown Prince!
Thinking of this, Sun Jian clicked his tongue in amazement.
When he met the Crown Prince in Hongnong County, the Crown Prince probably used many methods to escape.
It's not easy being the Crown Prince. Every time he goes out, he has to find a substitute, time his departure carefully, and he can't even appear in the capital...
"What's wrong, my husband? Why do you look so worried?"
Noticing the change in Sun Jian's expression, Chu Qingcheng asked him a question.
Sun Jian didn't shy away from anything and directly told the three women about what he had promised the Crown Prince.
As for agreeing to take Princess Chang Le out for fun, Sun Jian chose to remain silent.
It's better to avoid trouble...
"I see..."
Upon hearing that Sun Jian had an appointment, Chu Qingcheng lowered her head with a complicated expression.
They naturally wanted their husband to take them out for a stroll and some fun, but they didn't want to delay Sun Jian's business, hence their dilemma.
"Or...or perhaps, my husband, you should go see His Highness the Crown Prince, and then you can accompany us next time?"
"Yes, don't let us hold you back. Your future is much more important than ours."
Gu Zijian and Zhou Wan'er also chimed in, advising Sun Jian that he could take them out to play next time.
"What are you saying!"
Sun Jian frowned, feigning displeasure.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and all that can wait. My husband says he'll keep you company, so he will!"
"Compared to any future prospects or important matters, you are the most important!"
"I, Sun Jian, would rather resign from my post and bear any crime than let you down!"
Although he said that, only Sun Jian knew in his heart that he was hoping to fly away three times today.
Damn it!
What a great opportunity! How can we let it slip away just because we promised Li Gancheng before?
Compared to his own great cause of continuing the family line, what kind of bullshit "Brother Dragon" is utterly insignificant!
As the saying goes, brothers are like hands and feet, and women are like clothes.
But if you dare touch my clothes, I'll chop off your hands and feet!
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, it wouldn't work!
It must be a three-flying maneuver, as Lao Tzu said!
Even Jesus couldn't protect this!
The three women were unaware of Sun Jian's inner thoughts, but after hearing his words and seeing his resolute expression, they understood.
At that moment, the three women were deeply moved, and tears welled up in their eyes.
Their husbands were indeed different from ordinary people, and even different from any other man in this era.
People have long been bound by the idea of male superiority and female inferiority, and even the story of a minister in a previous dynasty killing his wife to exchange for a position is still widely circulated...
It was all taken for granted by the world!
Sun Jian was the most unique one.
In their eyes and hearts, each of them was extremely fortunate to have met Sun Jian, who was the best man in the world.
Looking into his determined eyes and with such a confident expression, the three women could no longer contain their emotions and embraced Sun Jian.
"My husband..."
"You are the best man in the world..."
