Chapter 357 The Last Dart



Anything produced in Yunshui County is bound to be a rare and highly sought-after commodity.

That soft toilet paper is good quality and inexpensive, much more reliable than wood chips or leaves!

Even wealthy families can't afford to keep this item for one-time use; there's no need to reuse it!

Even the ladies in the palace found changing clothes much more pleasant with this item.

Especially those sanitary napkins, they're a godsend for women!

Within a few days, everyone in Jinling, from the imperial palace to the common people, remembered that anything produced by Yunshui County was bound to be extraordinary!

At the Zhurong Hot Pot restaurant, Qingsong received a wooden box delivered by the bodyguard.

Inside were letters and items his mother had prepared for his family of three. He was delighted and wanted to take them home, but they were a bit heavy, so he called a helper.

After returning home, he asked the servants for help to carry the unassuming wooden box home.

"Dad~"

The little steamed bun was wearing a little carp bib, and her arms were white and tender. When she opened her arms and sweetly called out to people, she was so soft and cuddly.

"Sigh~"

Qingsong reached out and hugged his precious son, letting his son smear saliva all over his face.

"Husband, why are you home so early today?"

Fangfang smiled as she looked at her husband and son, and gestured to the maid to take away the empty bowl of steamed egg custard that her son had finished eating.

“Mom sent us some things, and I was thinking of unpacking them with you.”

Qingsong was a doting husband, and most of the things his mother sent were for his wife and children.

Therefore, he specially transported the box home to share with his wife and children.

"Mother is so good."

Fangfang's eyes lit up; every time her wife had the bodyguard send her something new and interesting, it was something new and exciting.

I wonder what it is this time?

The couple opened the letter. Qingsong guessed and deciphered, while Fangfang understood it perfectly.

Mother said everything was fine, and told them to take good care of themselves and also to look after Third Brother and Changjun.

Furthermore, her mother is currently in her fiefdom of Yunshui County, busy building the eight major townships of Yunshui County. She said that the branch of Zhurong Hot Pot Restaurant is doing very well, which puts Qingsong at ease.

Then they sent many clothes for little buns and novel toys from Yunshui County.

And, special gifts prepared for Fangfang.

nice one?

Fangfang opened the box and took out the neatly stacked items inside.

There was a package at the bottom of the trunk with a note on it, it was specially for Fangfang...

Shapewear?

She knew how to use sanitary napkins, but this shapewear...

A sudden inspiration struck Fangfang, and she quickly put it away.

Qingsong was puzzled. What was that?

Why is my wife blushing?

Oh my god...

"Giggle~"

The little steamed bun, pinching a colorful rattan ball, laughed and drooled...

Wujia Village —

The bodyguards, familiar with the route, delivered a cartload of goods and knocked on the gate of the Wu family's old residence.

When Da Zhou went to open the door, she saw that it was a bodyguard and vaguely sensed that it was sent by her third sister-in-law.

really--

"Aunt Zhou, we were sent by Princess Jiang to deliver these items to your esteemed residence. Please sign for them."

"Hey, come in~"

......

A moment later, three or four large boxes and several small boxes were piled up in the yard.

After pressing her fingerprint and taking a form, Madam Zhou was unable to persuade the bodyguard to stay for a meal.

"The employer has another shipment that needs to be escorted to the school. I have other matters to attend to and cannot linger here."

The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) politely declined, explaining that there was one last item to be escorted in the carriage.

Da Zhou was bewildered. She didn't want to make her own decisions about what to do with these things, so she left them in the courtyard for the time being, waiting for her parents to return from town before making any further arrangements.

Yes, that's right. Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and Da Shi took his whole family to town to buy things.

Her second brother's family also drove out to shop, leaving her to look after the house.

School--

Master Lu and Master Qian were surrounded by villagers and teachers alike, all asking them about their experiences on the trip.

The two men talked until their throats were dry, so the villagers went home and brought them tea and snacks, listening with great interest.

The镖局's carriages returned, and the crowd dispersed to make room.

"Bang!"

The box is too heavy, and it's full of gleaming silver!

Master Lu and Master Qian accepted the order, affixed their fingerprints, and signed it.

The bodyguard, having completed his mission, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture of farewell to the two masters.

"Da da da~"

After the escort agency's carriage left, Master Lu and Master Qian each took turns, one watching the box and the other calling out eight names.

"The family members of Wu Niuniu—"

"Here!"

"The family members of student Wu Dahai—"

"Here!"

"The family members of student Wu Xiaohua—"

"Here!"

"The family members of Zhou Xiaoshan—"

"Here!"

"Wang Cuier's family members—"

"Here!"

......

The villagers whose names were called couldn't hide their excitement.

Standing straight is an honor!

"Splash!"

The box was opened in full view of everyone, revealing gleaming silver and letters inside.

Master Lu counted out fifty taels of silver, and Master Qian took out a roster, had the families of the eight students line up, take the fifty taels of silver, and press their fingerprints.

"Here you go, this is your daughter's advance on her monthly salary."

"Here's the advance on your son's monthly salary."

Master Lu handed the letter belonging to his children to the other party.

After the student's family received the letter and the money, he explained:

"This group of students graduated from the school with excellent grades. After being tested by the principal, who is also Princess Jiang, they were taken into Yunshui County and assigned jobs."

"Each person will receive a monthly salary of five taels of silver or more, with eight days off per month, working five days and resting two days. The Princess's Mansion will provide each student with three meals a day, a late-night snack, and accommodation."

"All students chose to graduate and remain in Yunshui County, receiving an advance of fifty taels of silver to send letters home..."

The villagers were in an uproar. Such good conditions?!

Why are my own children so disappointing?

The villagers who had chosen their children held their children's letters and monthly stipends, finally feeling completely at ease.

My children are so successful!

Fifty taels of silver!

And this is just the beginning; if you perform well, you can even get a bonus!

Others may feel envious, but so what?

"Twenty-two students' families have not yet received this message. Please pass this message on to each other and urge them to come and collect their letters and money as soon as possible."

"Of course, if family members miss their children, they can make their own preparations and travel to Yunshui County to visit them."

"Our school is dedicated to cultivating elite talents in all walks of life, nurturing talent for Tianyao, Yunshui County, and Taohua County."

It was uncommon for Master Qian to speak so emotionally and spontaneously. After he finished, his face turned a little red, and he seemed a bit nervous.

"Clap clap clap~"

Everyone present applauded and echoed the sentiment.

The list was posted on the bulletin board, and villagers who were related to the students said they would go to their relatives' homes to tell them the good news!

Those who didn't see their child's name on the list were disappointed, but there was still a chance. They could go home and tell their family and friends about it, about their child...

Study hard, learn well, and listen to your teachers. If you catch the principal's eye in the future, you'll have the opportunity to make a lot of money after graduation!

Even if I weren't assigned a job, it's still better than becoming a peasant like them...
