"This doll is so cute. If we made these kinds of dolls and sold them, we would definitely have a lot of business."
Grandma Mu Lai took it and examined it carefully.
"It's indeed quite good, but its novelty lies in the design; it seems easy to make and could be easily imitated by other companies..."
Ning Bao nodded.
“Yes, what Sister Lai Di said makes a lot of sense. Let’s not do this business for now, and instead open an embroidery shop in the county town first.”
Since this is our first time doing business, there are many things we need to learn gradually. Although I previously partnered with my senior to open a seafood restaurant.
But I've never interfered. My senior brother has been handling everything inside and out. If business is good this time, we'll open a branch in Yunlu City.
"good!"
The group hit it off immediately and went to the matchmaker's place that very afternoon to find a shop.
Unfortunately, after visiting several matchmakers in the county town, he still couldn't find a suitable one.
Because their search for a shop was thwarted, the girls weren't in such a hurry anymore.
Things at the shop can only be dealt with gradually...
Before they knew it, the day arrived for the students to leave the examination hall. A day in advance, Mu Chunping and his wife, and Lin Jianfei and his wife, drove their horse-drawn carriages to the county town.
The children stayed in the examination hall for nine days. It is said that in previous years, many students had to be carried out.
No one dared to let their guard down, fearing that if anything happened to the children, Guang Ningbao and the other children in the county town would not be able to be taken care of properly.
So the adults moved in ahead of time, and the next day Mu Chunping and Lin Jianfei each drove a carriage to the entrance of the examination hall to pick them up.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuzhen and Lin Jianfei's wife, along with Ningbao and the other little girls, were also busy at work.
I boiled several pots of water first, and for the nine days of the exam, I ate, drank, and relieved myself in a small cubicle.
The first thing the children need to do after coming out is wash up. I boiled water and made some easily digestible white porridge and side dishes.
Just as they were getting ready, they heard a noise outside. Ningbao and the others quickly ran to the door to check.
"Father, the brothers are back. How are they? Do they need to be carried?"
Mu Chengrong, who had been feeling a bit weak in the knees, immediately perked up upon hearing Ning Bao's words.
"Ningbao, you're looking down on your brother with those words."
I don't know about the others, but your Chengrong brothers are in top form. They could take the exam for twenty-nine days straight, let alone nine.
Seeing that Mu Chengrong looked a little haggard, Ning Bao didn't argue with him and quickly nodded obediently.
"Yes, yes, my Chengrong is the best! It looks like Chengrong has it in the bag this time?"
Mu Chengrong paused for a moment,
"Well...no, not at all."
Mu Cheng'an stepped forward, intending to pat Ning Bao on the shoulder, but then stopped.
"Alright, Ningbao, stop teasing Chengrong. Don't you think he smells bad?"
"Is there hot water? I'd like to wash up."
Shen Yuzhen, who had just come out of the inner courtyard, heard Mu Cheng'an's voice and quickly said...
"There's water, hot water is ready, and your change of clothes are in the shower room. Go take a shower quickly."
After you've washed up, have some simple porridge first. I'll cook you something delicious tonight after you've rested.
After Mu Cheng'an and his group finished washing up and eating porridge, they were all sent back to their rooms to sleep.
Shen Yuzhen looked at Mu Chunping.
"The children seem to be in good spirits, and they don't seem as scary as others have said."
Shen Yuzhen was worried sick all morning because her three sons and her nephew from her maternal family had all gone to take the exam.
She had heard from the Shen family that eight out of ten people who entered the examination hall might have to be carried out.
Shen Yuzhen was terrified that something might happen to the children. Bai Ming had returned to the capital, and Shen Sikang, though his medical skills were passable...
