After taking the medicinal bath, Chen Jiaojiao expressed deep regret.
Happy days are so short.
"Ms. Chen, you have become more beautiful."
After coming out, the technician caught up with Chen Jiaojiao and praised her a lot. He praised her so much that she was almost embarrassed. No matter what the effect was, she was in a particularly happy mood.
There was a mirror outside the box door, and she looked at herself in the mirror. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her face was as delicate and fair as a lotus flower emerging from the water. She couldn't believe it was her own face.
She patted it a few times, and only came to her senses when she saw a blush on her face.
Oh my god, it was worth the 100 taels. It looks even better than her usual makeup.
"Miss Chen, please pay the fee. It's one hundred taels of silver."
Chen Jiaojiao happily paid the money, sat in a comfortable seat, drank red date tea, and waited for her mother to arrive.
"Ms. Chen, you are our first VIP guest. This is a gift from our store to you."
The waiter respectfully handed over a gift paper bag. Chen Jiaojiao took it and weighed it. It was quite heavy.
Out of curiosity, she opened the paper bag and found a wooden box inside.
He opened the wooden box and found a beautifully packaged porcelain bottle inside. "What is it?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Miss Chen, this is our shop's most valuable product—the Seven-Seed Whitening Mask. When you go back home, just wash your face and scoop a spoonful of it and apply it evenly. Wash it off after a quarter of an hour. Use this every three days and your skin will be fair, translucent, and your complexion will be rosy and radiant."
"Is it really that good?" Chen Jiaojiao was skeptical. Can free things be good?
"Don't worry, we've done experiments and it really works. But to prevent allergies, you can try applying a little on your ear first. If your ear doesn't hurt, you can continue to use it."
In that case, she might as well go back and try.
Anyway, this store was opened by Jiang Xuqing in partnership with a businessman, so if anything went wrong, she would ask Jiang Xuqing to settle the accounts.
If nothing happens, then she has made a profit.
Not only did she enjoy the medicinal bath, but she also received gifts. Why is she always getting the better deal?
"Jiaojiao." Huang finally made her appearance amid Chen Jiaojiao's anxious waiting.
"Mom." Chen Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes, and after making sure she was not mistaken, she subconsciously said: "You have become so beautiful."
"Nonsense again." Huang glared at her with a smile on her face, looking in a good mood.
Everyone loves beauty, and Huang is no exception.
No matter how many times I look in the mirror, it’s not as good as a word of praise from my daughter.
She felt that the money was well spent.
After paying the money, the waiter also gave us a gift.
Different from Chen Jiaojiao’s whitening mask, Huang’s is a moisturizing mask.
Facing her surprised look, the waiter patiently explained, "Your skin is sagging and lacking in moisture. You need moisturizing to restore its vitality."
Not to mention Huang, even Chen Jiaojiao didn't understand what he meant. "Speak human language."
The waiter smiled and said, "It's to keep your skin hydrated and youthful forever."
Now I understand. Huang said with a pleasant face: "Thank you, I will definitely introduce my friends to come and experience it next time."
"Madam, Miss, take care. Welcome to visit us again."
Women have always been willing to spend a lot of money to become beautiful.
After Huang boasted about it at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
More and more wives of officials come here and ask for the medicinal bath service.
After the experience, it was highly praised.
Gradually, the hot spring pool at Heaven on Earth became famous in Kanto, and it was enjoyed by both men and women, and by people of all ages.
During the investigation by Jinyiwei Qin Chong, he was surprised to find that the income from the bathhouse alone reached half of Jianzhou's total revenue. In just half a year, Jianzhou's total tax revenue even exceeded that of Jingzhou under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhifu.
When the news reached Kyoto, the court was in an uproar, and even Emperor Mingguang's heart was boiling with it.
Jiang Xuqing was truly a treasure. In just two years since arriving in Jianzhou, he had not only cleaned up a dying old city, but also restored public security to an order comparable to that of the capital, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
What concerned the ministers even more was that Jianzhou was completely self-sufficient.
Even when other prefectures and counties were still in a state of negative growth, Jianzhou was more like a life-saving pill for Emperor Mingguang. It not only solved the external threat, but also eliminated the need for court relief.
In addition to paying double the taxes, Jiang Xuqing also helped Emperor Mingguang solve the problem of paying the soldiers' salaries in the border camps.
He did not give it openly, but instead encouraged the people and merchants of Jianzhou to donate to the army.
From small things like a grain of rice, a sweater, or a quilt to large things like money to feed a soldier's family, the soldiers in the border camps were provided with the love of the whole nation.
With the support of money and food, the soldiers' worries were put to rest and they became more determined to defend their country.
The problem that had troubled Emperor Mingguang for many years was solved by a 26-year-old prefect. It was a blessing for the country and the nation.
Emperor Mingguang immediately issued an imperial decree to commend Jiang Xuqing and promoted him to the prefect of Suzhou.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court could no longer sit still and began to oppose it.
The reasons for opposition were as follows: Jiang Xuqing was too young; a prefect at the age of 26 was a rare sight, and even rarer after Emperor Mingguang ascended the throne.
What's more, Jiang Xuqing had been in Jianzhou for two years and had been promoted from a county magistrate to a prefect, and he could not be promoted any further.
Emperor Mingguang tried to use this reason to convince his ministers by telling them that Jiang Xuqing had reported the Prince of Nanping for treason and treason, which had saved the court a huge loss.
However, the ministers still opposed it, claiming that even if he had made contributions to the country, he should not be promoted, and asked Emperor Mingguang to reconsider.
Amidst huge opposition, Emperor Mingguang announced that the matter would be discussed later.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Mingguang thought about it and could not think of any other reason except that his ministers were jealous of Jiang Xuqing's rapid promotion.
Fu Yao provided Emperor Mingguang with a new idea, saying that he could bribe the Gusu prefect to voluntarily step down and let the ministers raise their voices of opposition, which would not be so strong.
Emperor Mingguang specially ordered the governor of Suzhou to come to Beijing secretly and brainwash him so that he would willingly give up the throne.
But this guy was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and Emperor Mingguang could not persuade him no matter how hard he tried.
I originally thought that it would be a few years before Jiang Xuqing would be able to clean up the corruption in Jiangnan.
Unexpectedly, after Fu Yao communicated with the Gusu prefect, the Gusu prefect immediately went back and used his connections to form cliques.
In tears, he explained the reason for his resignation during the morning court session. He then offered his support, hoping that the young man Jiang Xuqing would be able to take on the position of Gusu prefect and help the court clean up the corruption in Jiangnan.
Under the promotion of the Suzhou prefect, several respected people in the court agreed and strongly recommended Jiang Xuqing to be the Suzhou prefect.
Emperor Mingguang took advantage of the situation and appointed Jiang Xuqing as the prefect of Suzhou, and he went there a month later.
In a month, Jiang Xuqing not only had to deal with the matters at hand and complete the handover with the new prefect sent by the court, but the emperor also had to bring to a conclusion the case that had been delayed for more than half a year - the case of treason.
