Business success story - How to sell diapers to a second-rank official!

"House?!"

I have a house? !

The old emperor was so generous that he provided two ways to use the wire mesh and gave him a house in Kyoto? !

Xu Yanmiao took a deep breath and looked at the deed again and again. After confirming that this thing was not fake, and there was a message from the emperor in the box, which was clearly given to him, Xu Yanmiao's face was red with excitement at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next day, he got up at three o'clock as usual to attend the court. However, Xu Yanmiao didn't have the slightest thought of complaining this time. He ran to the court room with full energy, and as usual, he had a steamed cake in his arms - this morning, in addition to the steamed cake, he also generously bought a cup of hot soy milk!

No need to pay rent! Arrogant!

"Xu Yanmiao."

"Huh?" A voice suddenly called out from behind. Xu Yanmiao was startled. He took a step forward and turned back. He was still biting a pancake, and his cheeks were bulging. He

quickly swallowed the pancake and asked cautiously, "Liang Zhushi... is there anything I can do for you?"

He was from the Ministry of Personnel, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with this Ministry of Justice Zhushi?

The Ministry of Justice Zhushi, whose surname was Liang and whose name was Rui, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "It's best not to drink soup before going to court..." After that, he bowed and turned away.

"Eh?" Xu Yanmiao looked down at the hot soy milk in his hand. Although he didn't understand what happened, he subconsciously raised his voice: "Thank you!"

Then he started to look through the system while chewing a steamed bun.

And then——

[hiss——]

He almost spit out the steamed bun.

Xu Yanmiao, who was concentrating on the system, didn't notice that with his inner scream, many officials around him quietly moved two steps towards him. His ears were raised high.

Those officials who were also rushing to eat breakfast immediately put down their breakfast.

Eat eat eat! What are you eating! Listening to gossip is more important!

[Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't drink too much. ]

[In the previous dynasty, there were people who couldn't hold it in and urinated during the court session, and they were directly demoted from the central government to the local government. 】

【After much difficulty, I climbed up to become the Criminal Department Secretary, which was the seventh rank! But I was directly demoted to the chief clerk of a certain county—not even a county magistrate. 】

In the court room, some officials who had not thought too much and had drunk water and eaten soup before going to

court suddenly stood up, and the jade tablets they had prepared in advance fell to the ground with a clatter. These officials quickly picked up the jade tablets, and before the court session started, they ran to the nearest toilet in the court room.

Demotion or not is not that important anymore, the main thing is... you still have to save your face!

If you can't hold it back during court session, you'll be laughed at for the rest of your life!

In the corner, the historian in charge of compiling the history of the previous dynasty quickly took out a pen and bamboo slips - it was not convenient to take out paper at this time. He sat up straight subconsciously, staring at Xu Yanmiao with burning eyes, waiting for the other party to reveal which official of the previous dynasty it was so that he could make a note.

Liang Rui next to him: "..."

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that I had done something bad with good intentions. Although the person who encountered bad things was not Xu Yanmiao.

[Liang Zhushi is really a good person. Otherwise, I would be like that criminal department secretary - it's really tragic. This Zhang Jing, it seems that he was the first in the provincial examination in the eighth year of Tianbo, but because of a pee, his future was ruined. 】

He heard Xu Yanmiao's voice, and he was both relieved and regretful.

The eyes of the historian next to him were shining like two balls of light, and he buried his head in writing furiously.

Liang Rui: “…”

Forget it. Anyway, historians do this kind of thing, and they didn’t make it up, so it shouldn’t be a big problem... right?

[Actually...] Xu Yanmiao hesitated for a long time, and it was obvious that she was also struggling: [How about trying to hold a diaper? But can the embroiderers in the garment shop do this? Describe it to them, it should be able to hold the buttocks, and it won’t seep through even if you pee... It should be no problem, right?]

All the officials: “?!”

This, this, this——

“How disrespectful!” The historian cursed in a low voice.

Wearing such things is really...really...

Another official vowed: "I can go without food and drink before going to court, and I will never wear such things - what kind of appearance is this!"

For a moment, there was an endless stream of officials whispering in agreement.

Xu Yanmiao had no idea what was going on.

He went through the daily court meetings as usual, and after leaving court, he went to the government office to report, handled his official duties for the day, and waited for the government office to be locked up before going home.

"Oh, I can't go back today, I have a new house, I need to buy some things..." Xu Yanmiao muttered to himself as he walked into the East Market: "The New Year is coming soon, I should buy a new dress first... eh?"

From a distance, Xu Yanmiao saw colleagues acting sneaky, looking left and right three or four times before walking into the clothing store. After a while, as if he had solved a major life issue, he walked out relaxed.

Xu Yanmiao: "?"

After a while, another colleague came over stealthily and repeated the steps of the previous person.

Xu Yanmiao: "???"

After a while, he also saw the Minister of Industry.

The other party also saw him, and one foot was stepping out of the garment store, obviously having agreed on something.

The two stood staring at each other for a while, and Xu Yanmiao: "Shang..."

The air froze.

The Minister of Industry quickly jumped out, pulled Xu Yanmiao, and dragged him into the alley next to him. After standing up straight, he started asking directly: "Why are you here!"

"New Year, buying new clothes."

"Oh, I thought..." Under Xu Yanmiao's puzzled gaze, the Minister of Works closed his mouth and changed the subject: "What do you think of today's government?"

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

He tried very hard not to show a strange look.

You ask a small official who copies documents about today's government? Seriously?

Of course, it's not that you can't ask, talent doesn't matter if you have status, but Xu Yanmiao thought, I didn't show any talent - oh, except for the wire mesh, but this has nothing to do with government.

The Minister of Works suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question, and quickly changed the topic: "Xu Lang, can you walk with me?" Then he sighed faintly, obviously looking very worried.

Xu Yanmiao thought about it, and it was still a long time before the East City was locked down, so he nodded and asked intimately: "My lord, do you have any difficulties?"

"Of course..."

[Could it be that he knew that his daughter had fallen in love with a man two days ago, and the old father had nowhere to vent his sorrow? ]

The Minister of Works: "..."

He actually just wanted to transfer the person away, so that when he went in, he would not ask Xiu Niang casually, and if she found out that the Minister of Works was secretly doing it, she would not have to say a few words in her heart when she went back tonight, and the officials of the entire Nan Sanshiliufang would know it.

But now...

The Minister of Works almost bit his teeth off: "Of course! My daughter, she was kidnapped by a bad boy!"

[Sure enough, it was because of this! ] Xu Yanmiao suddenly realized: [It seems that these two are still strolling by the Luo River, flirting, sending flowers, happy like two butterflies! ]

I will beat that bastard into a butterfly!

The Minister of Works smiled with his face but not his heart. Before Xu Yanmiao could reply to him, he said: "I have already investigated. She is relaxing with that man by the Luo River."

- Daxia did not pay much attention to the separation of men and women. The Spring Festival and the Sacrifice Festival were actually blind date banquets for men and women. Normally, if they liked each other in advance, it would not be a problem to go out for a walk or something.

But for the Minister of Works, it was a big problem.

"Xu Yanmiao, tell me, why did she refuse to even inform me, her father, about such a big thing?" The Minister of Industry was furious at first, and then he became a little sad: "If she really likes him, can I still stop him? - Is it possible?!"

The Minister of Industry's pupils trembled: "She found someone I can't accept?"

For example, sixty or seventy years old? For example, sixty or seven years old? For example... Oh, there is no need for examples. From Xu Yanmiao's inner voice, it can be heard that the person who met secretly is indeed a person.

Xu Yanmiao chose his words carefully: "This... Jin Niangzi's vision is the best, she may just be... shy as a girl."

However, the Minister of Industry clearly heard -

[Um... maybe? After all, you usually don't care about your daughter, you only give her money...】

The Minister of Works' pupils trembled even more.

Isn't giving money enough to show your care? Should you give her land? That's right, the 500 acres of land under her name is indeed a little too little.

Is it that when preparing the manor for her, the rosewood furniture used is not what his daughter likes? Does she like other woods? Thinking about it this way, he really doesn't know what kind of wood his daughter likes. He only wants to use the most expensive one. He is really unworthy of being a father.

He is usually busy with official duties, and since she is a daughter, he can't be as casual and close to her as he is to his son. He can only give her more maids and servants, and give her more headwear and jewelry... Alas, he really neglected his daughter.

【She almost doesn't accompany her. There are often only her and the maids in the big house.】

The Minister of Works was very ashamed.

Indeed, he was busy with government affairs, his wife was busy with business, and his son was sent out to serve as an official when he grew up. Only his beloved daughter, who had always been...

[So, a scholar personally cooked a bowl of porridge for her, and she was very moved and gave the scholar a large house with hot springs and a Yuan fox fur. ]

Because his wife was engaged in business - of course, officials' families could not do business, so she must have been in the name of distant relatives to the outside world.

In short, the family had no shortage of money, and the things given away would not make the Minister of Works heartbroken, but the implicit intention in it made him deeply hate and hurt.

Where did this wild boy come from? A bowl of porridge made my daughter care about whether he had a place to live and whether he was warm!

"Xu Yanmiao! Accompany me to the bank of Luoshui!" The Minister of Works picked up a thick wooden stick from the corner of the wall: "Today I must let him know how difficult it is to marry the minister's daughter!"

Xu Yanmiao ran after the man, complaining in his heart: [Didn't you just say that you wouldn't beat a man with a stick? This mind changes too quickly. Is this the legendary man's heart, a needle in the sea? ]

*

On the bank of Luoshui, there was indeed a woman and a scholar walking side by side.

The scholar had a faint dark blue in his eyes and a thin figure. At this moment, he looked at the woman affectionately: "Jin Niang, I will never let you down. When I pass the imperial examination, I will come to your house to propose marriage."

The woman also looked at him affectionately and opened her red lips softly: "If you give birth to me, I will also give birth to you..."

"What do you mean by giving birth to me!" A roar came.

The two turned around in surprise and saw a sturdy man coming over with a thick stick in his hand.

The woman walked up to him in two or three steps and said, "Dad, why are you here?"

The Minister of Industry said with great force, "Separate! You must separate! I absolutely do not agree to you two being together, otherwise I will--"

Before she could finish her words, Miss Jin said, "Okay."

"I will cut off your money--what?" The Minister of Industry was stunned.

Miss Jin said again: "Okay, Dad, don't you want me to separate from him?"

The Minister of Works was suspicious: "Are you serious? You didn't deceive me to save that boy?"

Miss Jin nodded: "Of course it's true."

The scholar was stunned: "Miss Jin! Why..."

Miss Jin turned her head, looking confused: "My family doesn't allow it, of course I listened to my family."

The scholar was dumbfounded: "But...but we love each other...When I pass the imperial examination, I will come to marry you! Can't you even wait for these few years?"

Xu Yanmiao couldn't help but complain: [Who knows when you can pass the exam? Thirty is old and fifty is young. Although there is no Mingjing exam now. ]

The Minister of Works nodded vigorously in his heart.

"If you can't pass the exam even when you're fifty or sixty, do you still want me to wait for you until you're fifty or sixty?"

The scholar showed a hint of pride on his face: "That's wrong! How could I waste so many years with my talent?"

Xu Yanmiao: [So confident? Oh... So you're hoping to get Xiao Jin sister and let Lao Jin help him through the back door.]

Minister of Industry: "?!" He turned cold and scolded, "You're so arrogant. There are so many students in the world, how dare you say you're better than others?"

The scholar said calmly: "I'm not talented, but all my teachers have praised my talent."

Minister of Industry: “Oh?” Could he really be a capable person?

Xu Yanmiao: [Huh? I didn’t see anyone saying he was smart…] After flipping through it carefully, [Shit, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, the teacher said, “You are naturally intelligent, but unfortunately you are lazy and like to take shortcuts. If you study hard, you will definitely achieve something” hahahahahahahahahahahaha…]

[Isn’t this the classic trick of teachers – “You are very smart but you just don’t study”? Nine out of ten poor students have heard this, and this can also be used to praise oneself, ah this ah this, Lao Jin is well-informed and should not be fooled! ]

I wonder if there is a Minister of Industry who is well-informed but was almost fooled: “…” Thank you, Xu Yanmiao.

The Minister of Industry had a blank expression on his face: "Our son-in-law doesn't need to be too smart."

On the other side, Miss Jin also said seriously: "It's not that I can't wait for a few years, it's that my family doesn't allow us to be together, I listen to my family."

The scholar glanced at the Minister of Industry, and quickly turned his gaze back to Miss Jin: "Miss Jin, you said that your family obeys you in everything..."

Xu Yanmiao couldn't help but complain again: [That's it? You don't even want to deal with the people in the family, you only want to deal with the girl, and let the girl deal with her family. It's irresponsible enough. ]

The Minister of Industry almost clapped his hands.

Yes, that's it! Fortunately, his daughter is not confused.

After hearing the lady's rebuttal, he changed his suspicion into joy. He wanted to tell the lady not to talk to this kind of person and go home directly. If you dare to pester her, I will break your legs!

And Miss Jin looked at the scholar and was still clear and organized: "Yes, my family used to obey me in everything, but you also heard that when I was with you, my father cut off my money. This is the first time! It means that my father is very angry and the matter is very serious."

The scholar was disappointed: "Just money..."

Miss Jin was confused: "The house you accepted was given to me by my family, and the Yuan fox fur you are wearing was given to me by my family, and these are a drop in the bucket compared to the money at home. You can't resist a good house and good clothes, why should I live a hard life with you?"

The scholar was choked and blushed.

Then he asked: "Then... why do you..."

Miss Jin thought for a while and said: "It was raining heavily at that time. You invited me into your house and cooked porridge for me. I was really touched. I just wanted to spend some time with you..."

Miss Jin saw Xu Yanmiao's face halfway through her words. She was stunned for a moment.

The scholar was still listening to the rest of the words, and saw the woman who had been affectionate to him before, turned around and walked quickly to a young man, saying affectionately: "Junsheng..."

"Pa——"
