Aside from lychees being reserved exclusively for the emperor, and the best durians being kept for the emperor, all other goods offered to the high-ranking families and ordinary citizens of the capital were of the highest quality. At most, there was some differentiation based on purchasing power, but even the shops had top-tier goods.
Qiao Yunni is Qiao Lian'er's mother, so Qiao Lian'er naturally has a bias towards her. He puts more high-quality goods in the shops under his mother's name. The Qiao family understands this and no one objects.
Customers who come to Qiao Yunni's store to buy things make their choices based on price and quality, and no customer ever complains.
Someone actually came three times and was still not satisfied.
Qiao Lian'er's first thought was, "Could someone be deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
She said, "I'll go and meet them tomorrow."
Looking back, Mu Xinghe returned carrying a large stack of scrolls. Night had fallen, and he looked hurried, as if he had been working under the stars and moon.
Although there are many affairs in the government office, unless there are special circumstances, you can leave when your shift ends and continue working the next day.
Mu Xinghe usually comes home late, but now, not only is he coming home late, he's even bringing business home to handle.
"Brother-in-law, you're getting busier and busier," Qiao Lian'er said.
Mu Xinghe stopped in front of her, his face serious and solemn: "Now I can't even see the Emperor, and I can't help the Qiao family with anything. The burden mainly falls on Sister Lian'er, and I really feel uneasy about it."
"The Qiao family went to great lengths to support me, yet I remained mediocre and lost in the officialdom, becoming an insignificant member."
"So I've decided to do my best. Although I'm only a sixth-rank official now, I hope that through my efforts, I can contribute to the Qiao family as soon as possible."
Seeing that he had this idea, Qiao Lian'er felt relieved. She said, "Brother-in-law, the Ministry of Personnel values you. It's just that you are still too young. It's only a matter of time. It has nothing to do with your performance or ability. So let's take it one step at a time. I am confident that I can handle any risks to this family. When you become stronger in the future, you will be a great help, and I will be more at ease."
“Since it’s just a matter of time, even if it’s a little earlier, it would be good,” Mu Xinghe said firmly, carrying the scrolls into the study.
Moreover, the men of the Qiao family, as generals, trained diligently in their fiefdoms every day without ever slacking off. When they returned home, they diligently practiced calligraphy and read books, and they can now understand basic military strategy books.
Everyone is working hard; as ordinary people, we are all striving to break through the limits of our lives.
Qiao Lian'er smiled with relief. This kind of home was full of vitality and gave people endless hope.
The next day, after lunch, she went to Qiao Yunni's shop.
A short while later, the old woman arrived. She was fair-skinned and plump, with a very prosperous appearance, and she also had a commanding and authoritative air about her. She must be someone who served a noble person.
She was accompanied by two maids, who asked as soon as they entered, "Have you prepared the good stuff?"
Upon seeing Qiao Lian'er sitting in the shopkeeper's seat, the nanny became more wary. Everyone in the upper class of the capital knew about this girl.
Especially last time, the eldest prince suffered a loss in front of her, which became common knowledge. Everyone knows that this girl is not simple and is not easy to deal with.
