Zhao Shu smiled at her and said, "You are the same. Not only you, but the other teams are the same. Every quarter, I will have Commander Mo organize a competition to see who is the best. I will also issue missions to you. There will be rewards for completing the missions. At the end of the year, the strongest special forces soldier will be selected and given a regular military status in Dayong. If he is particularly outstanding, he will be recommended to various defense garrisons. If he is the best, he will win military merit and bring honor to this princess. This princess will then betroth our beautiful female steward to him."
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Chun and the others, who immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment. The soldiers then started to jeer and cheer. It seems that men throughout history have always liked to jeer when it comes to beautiful women.
Only Granny Zhuang looked disapproving, secretly planning to find an opportunity to talk to the princess. How could a woman say such blunt things? The princess is no longer with the princess, and there is no one to teach her. It's truly heartbreaking.
However, even Bi Qiao lowered her head, looking shy, which made Zhao Shu secretly laugh.
These words relieved the pent-up emotions in the crowd, and they immediately became more eager to speak. This was the result Zhao Shu wanted. If a team or a group had to make all the decisions and come up with solutions on its own, it would inevitably fail one day.
Three cobblers with their wits combined are better than one Zhuge Liang.
Bi Qiao and the others were shy for quite a while before they could speak. "What are you saying, Princess? You're so young, aren't you afraid people will say you don't know the rules? If Lady Zhang finds out, she'll probably come to talk to you again." Bi Qiao was still upset about Zhang Chu scolding her. It wasn't that she held a grudge, but she felt she had lost face. After all, she had been a head maid for so many years, and to be scolded and instructed like a little maid all of a sudden made her feel a little unbalanced.
Zhao Shu looked at her amusedly, "I wasn't talking about you, why are you so shy? I was talking about Chu Chun and Lu Luo." After she finished speaking, Qiao and the others blushed even more, their faces turning as red as tomatoes. She laughed heartily, "How about you guys? You're in charge of conquering the world, and they're in charge of earning money to support the family." She looked at Wu Liang and the others. This modern advertising slogan, modified, could actually be used like this. Thanks to the wisdom of modern netizens, it shows that human wisdom is boundless. We can't work in isolation, nor can we be arbitrary and domineering.
The soldiers were all wide-eyed with amazement. They were young and hadn't even been betrothed yet. They had originally planned to retire and save up some military pay before marrying a wife who could do housework. They never expected to marry someone who was close to the princess. Every single one of them was beautiful and capable.
Wu Liang, emboldened, said, "How can I let my wife earn money to support the family? Such a beautiful woman must be treated well and kept as a mistress. Princess, please issue any tasks you have. I can't wait."
"If there's a task, I have to go first. You step aside and wait." Gao Dan refused to be outdone and started competing.
Zhao Shu waved her hand to signal them to be quiet. "It's our beautiful and lovely ladies who are here to earn money to support the family." Her gaze fell on Chu Chun and the others. "Our shop will not only sell shampoo and conditioner, but also cosmetics and face masks. You will all report to Doctor Peng tomorrow."
"Princess, what is a face mask?" Chu Chun asked.
“You’ll know in a few days.” After saying that, he turned to Fei Peng. “Fei Peng, you can start decorating the shop. Tomorrow I’ll ask A Yun if there are any changes needed. If there are no changes, then we’ll start decorating. We need the best carpenter. Don’t worry about his price. He has to be the best carpenter. And we’ll find the Huo family’s gardener at the Huo residence.”
The gardener who can cultivate a mountain full of camellias must be no ordinary person. It's a pity that the Camellia Villa didn't get to appreciate it properly.
“Fei Peng lacks experience, and Xiao Guozi is helping him out. Once he’s fully got the hang of it, you can go do other things.”
Xiao Liu and Fei Peng hurriedly bowed, "Yes."
The personnel arrangements were mostly finalized. Next, Bi Qiao and Granny Zhuang would select the people, which would take a few days to finalize. She didn't say anything more and turned to Xiao Zhu Zi, "The estate matter needs to be settled as soon as possible. If you don't have money, go to the Huo family and find Xiao Pang." Wasn't Huo Baichuan going to invest? How could they give him three shares without squeezing some of his hard-earned money? After all the calculations, he was going to become the largest shareholder.
"Sigh." Xiao Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. The princess actually went directly to the Huo family to ask for money; wasn't that a bit too much...?
"Alright, everyone has had a long day, go and rest." She stood up and walked towards the embroidery tower. Everyone kowtowed behind her to see her off, and Green Ivy and the others hurriedly got up to help her wash up.
After removing the hairpin from her hair, she asked Shengxia, "Have you seen Elder Hai?"
Sheng Xia was taken aback. Even if she met this legendary figure, she wouldn't dare to look him in the eye, let alone since Zhi Hai was elusive and rarely seen. She shook her head and said, "Never."
After listening, Zhao Shu remained silent for a moment. After washing up, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She then put on the cloak hanging on the clothes rack and said to the void, "Elder Hai, are you here? If so, please come out and meet me. I have something to tell you."
After she finished speaking, she waited for a while, but Zhihai did not come out. It was as if no one was there. Zhao Shu asked again, "Old Hai, are you here?"
After asking three times, a knocking sound came from outside the tightly closed window. "Princess, this servant is Han Ying. Master is not here."
Zhao Shu frowned, but she quickly understood. She got out of bed and walked to the bedside so that only the two of them could hear her. "Where did Elder Hai go?"
"They've gone to the capital," Han Ying replied, just as she had guessed. Having received the answer, she then asked, "Do you know where Yang Quan is?"
"This servant understands. What are your orders, Princess?" Han Ying asked in a low voice.
"Take Yang Quan to Physician Peng tomorrow. I have a use for him." After saying this, she went back to her bed and explained everything before slowly falling asleep.
