Wang Da Kui's face turned bitter and he didn't care to gossip anymore.
He was working outside with the Third Master, yet he still had to be assessed.
Moreover, as the Third Master's confidants, the Old Lady had even higher requirements for them. Others were considered qualified if they could recognize 300 words, but these personal guards not only had to be skilled in swordsmanship and horsemanship, they also had to be able to write and recite 1,000 words.
I heard that the next step is to learn how to write documents.
I heard that as a civil servant, the clerks and staff around him knew everything about astronomy and geography, which was much higher than his requirements.
I heard that this is only the most basic requirement, and there will be new learning content in the next assessment. Those who fail to pass will be replaced by others at any time.
Wang Da Kui resigned himself to the fate and took the five big characters handed to him by the Third Master and began to copy them honestly.
The original resistance dissipated a lot when he saw Qiao Yunting's densely packed manual.
He has a hard life, but Third Master has an even harder life. Not only does he have to read and practice calligraphy every day, but he also has to write his thoughts and reflections after reading!
He had seen the Third Master's hair scratched bald countless times in private, so the master and servant could be said to be in the same boat.
Qiao Yunting really doesn't have time to pay too much attention to others.
As the first Salt Transport Commissioner, His Majesty gave him enough power that he was not only in charge of the stationed troops, but also in charge of all matters related to the production and sale of salt.
Leading troops was no problem for him, but managing civil affairs was something he was completely new to.
Fortunately, his second brother lent him a capable staff, and his mother sent him relevant books from time to time, and gave him guidance in daily correspondence. This allowed him to gain a firm foothold here within a month.
Although there were still some people in the team who were dissatisfied with his parachuted superior, no one dared to openly oppose his orders.
However, my mother is right. I don’t have to do everything myself, but I must know what I am doing, so that people around me will not fool me.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it. You are young, just learn!
Look, they, the master and the servant, spend almost all their free time on studying.
This also led to everyone privately speculating whether Qiao Yunting had suffered any blow?
A young man who doesn't gamble, visit prostitutes, or accept bribes, is like a dull monk. What's the point of living like this?
Qiao Xin heard that some people in the capital sold a bottle of cooling oil for one hundred taels of silver.
I can't help but marvel at the fact that there is no shortage of speculators in any era.
But there are so many rich people! So it seems that the price set by the second son's wife at twenty taels of silver per bottle is definitely a family price. If anyone says it is expensive, it is absolutely unfair!
If it were someone else running the business, they would have probably taken the opportunity to raise the prices!
Originally, it was thought that it would take at least a year or two for the second brother's shop to become famous, but Qiao Yunting's unintentional action actually made the second brother's wife's shop popular.
All the other items in the store were sold out within two days. Even a cosmetics set worth five hundred taels of silver was bought without blinking an eye.
It’s not that I don’t doubt whether the product is genuine and effective, but Zhang’s face is the best proof.
Originally, when the Qiao family's rouge shop opened, many people came to take a look with the mentality of watching the joke, but unexpectedly, Qiao Xin did not see it, but saw the reborn Zhang.
Anyone who has seen Zhang six months ago will never forget how rustic she looked, with dark yellow, rough skin. She was timid and spoke in a muffled voice. Many people felt sorry for Qiao Yunqing.
How could the top scholar, such a glorious figure, marry such a humble country girl?
There were countless people in the capital who wanted to see Zhang's joke. Many evil-minded women hoped that she would be divorced by her husband's family as soon as possible.
But when I saw her again today, I was a little bit unrecognizable. Was this elegant, fair-skinned, dignified and beautiful woman really the village girl Zhang?
Could it be that the Qiao family secretly replaced it?
After asking around, I found out that this is what it is!
Wow, it turns out that the Qiao family not only hired a nanny to take care of their daughter-in-law, but also took out their secret recipe of rouge and powder just to open a shop for her.
Didn’t you hear what Zhang said? In the past, there were no conditions, so we had to keep these recipes left by our ancestors in the bottom of the box and pass them down from generation to generation.
Wait until future generations are qualified and then let them see the light of day again. Now is not the right time!
What? You don’t believe it. Could her real-life example be false?
This fair and translucent skin can’t be fake, and the rosy and translucent lip balm and face cream must bring real amazing effects!
Too expensive? Haha, do you think this is cabbage from the vegetable market, and everyone can buy one?
There are only fifty copies a month, and if they are sold out we have to wait until next month!
Qiao Xin's hunger marketing immediately pushed her own rouge and powder shop to the top of the hot topic list in Beijing.
Zhang never thought that she would have such a proud day.
Every day when the shop is open for an hour, all the goods in the shop are sold out. She doesn't even need to shout.
This lasted for more than half a month, and I saw countless silver coins being lost every day. Countless letters sent by noble ladies were left in the concierge's office until they became moldy.
Zhang could no longer sit still and wanted to increase the quantity of goods privately, but was stopped by Mrs. Shi.
"Madam, you must not do this. The old lady has a reason for doing this.
People are like this, what they can't get is the best. The more they want it, the more they think of ways to get it. If everyone has it, then it won't be rare. The old lady understands the minds of these ladies better than we do.
If Madam agreed to this family but not to that one, wouldn't she be resented for nothing?
Those women in the back house always speak in a roundabout way, with all sorts of innuendos.
The Second Master is now in an important position and the Old Madam is not around. If someone sets a trap for us and we fall into it, no one will be able to save us, and it will easily affect the Second Master's future.
Madam, why don't you wait a little longer and let the old lady help you with your opinion later. It's better to stay still than to move now! The best strategy is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Besides, even if you want to sell it, the old lady must be able to deliver it in time.
Otherwise, if we easily accept the deposit and fail to deliver the goods when the time comes, wouldn’t that ruin the reputation of our store?”
After hearing this, Zhang gave up the idea of showing off her skills.
