Not all bad people in the world are ruthless, but there are also good people who repay their kindness.
This is what the people of Liujiazhuang are like.
Ever since she rescued them, they have treated Qianru like a young lady and treated her with care.
Such simplicity made the timid Qianru feel a little ashamed.
Since everyone was so friendly, she simply took the relationship to a new level.
Liujiazhuang lacked young laborers to repair the house, so she paid to hire dozens of people from outside to repair the house and bought a lot of new furniture.
On the night of the mutiny in the capital, the Liu family's army falsely surrendered to the Xu family, taking them by surprise. Therefore, there were not many casualties, and most of them survived.
Those who were uninjured and those who were slightly injured all went to fight with Liu Tang, leaving more than a hundred more seriously injured and older housekeepers.
After more than a month, the remaining houses were finally repaired and reinforced.
To celebrate this successful day, she also hired someone to make a new plaque, hung it with red silk, and set up dozens of banquet tables.
Even Liu Ang was moved to tears by her kindness, not to mention Liu Jiajun beside him.
Because King Zhang took time out of his busy schedule to come here to congratulate him, Liujiazhuang received many congratulatory gifts from dignitaries in the capital, including even those from the house of Sun Ji, the eldest son of Hedong County.
This is really rare!
You know, when Xiangxiang beat her last year, he also said a lot of threats!
It’s only been half a year, but this county princess has begun to follow the crowd?
She estimated that with Liu Ang's temper, even if he accepted these gifts for the sake of face, he would have to return them later, so she organized the gift list in great detail.
Little did I know that I was just overthinking it.
The next day, Liu Ang sent people to pawn and sell all the gifts for cash, and then bought fields and cattle around Zhuangzi to develop production.
Suddenly, Liujiazhuang gained more than 100 acres of property.
It was a joy to rush to spring plowing, sow and transplant rice.
Liu Ang saw Qianru standing at the door looking and looking, his eyes full of surprise, and he said sternly: "As a human being! You can't be too rigid. What's the use of writing such a detailed gift list? Can a favor be repaid?"
"I'm not doing this for your own good. Who knew you wouldn't retreat?"
"I won't take it back if I want to. Since I have taken it, of course I won't take it back."
After that, she took out the gift list she had written, looked through it, and praised her good handwriting. "When I have time, I can write more commonly used characters and publish a copybook or something. Maybe it can help support my family's income."
She was worried that her expenses had been too high recently and she was sitting on nothing, but she was suddenly enlightened by the old man.
So, I bought pen and ink and started preparing copybooks seriously.
In order to have good sales and a good price after the copybook came out, she thought carefully.
I first wrote some words and showed them to my adoptive father, King Zhang, and established a relationship with the bookstore from him. Then I found shopkeeper Tao, who had dealt with Banmian Peach Blossom in the past, and spent money to buy some good ideas to sell and build momentum.
Shopkeeper Tao was imprisoned and fined hugely for being a half-hearted woman. She had very little money left and had not received any new business for a long time. The price given to her was very cheap, and she even took over the work of creating publicity.
This is exactly what she wanted.
All you need to do is write the words without any distractions, and everything will fall into place.
Because the copybook sales were booming, shopkeeper Tao came to persuade Qianru to invest money to open a bookstore and hire herself to run it.
She thought it was not a big deal, but when she inquired about it, she found out that the Daxuan Dynasty had very strict control over the bookstore and only allowed official publications.
Ordinary vendors are only allowed to sell, not to print.
King Zhang was not willing to help her go through the back door, saying that the world was in chaos and the people's morale was unstable, and he was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to publish some remarks that were not beneficial to the court.
Knowing that she could not open a bookstore, shopkeeper Tao refused to give up and persuaded her to settle for opening a study room and selling books, the Four Treasures of the Study, calligraphy and paintings.
Apart from investing money, publishing a collection of calligraphy, painting, poems and essays, and giving a name to the study, she didn't need to worry about anything, she just had to sit and wait for the money to be distributed.
She was absolutely assured of Shopkeeper Tao's business ability, so she nodded without hesitation.
Once the two contracts are signed, all you have to do is wait for the money to be split.
With Bentou, life is no longer lifeless and every day is full of energy.
Just one thing made her a little troubled.
I can't hire a suitable maid.
Every time the maidservant was brought back to Zhuangzi, she would leave crying and noisy within a few days.
In order to keep them from talking nonsense after they left, she had to use both soft and hard tactics, threatening them first and then paying some hush money.
As the temperature gradually warmed up, her clothes became thinner and thinner, making it more and more inconvenient to go out.
In order not to show any abnormality, she customized a belt decorated with colorful stones, and even embroidered shoes and clothes were decorated with stones.
These designs are unique and make people look more delicate and refined when they are worn on the body. For a time, noble ladies in the capital rushed to imitate them.
Shopkeeper Tao discovered new business opportunities and lobbied her to open another clothing store.
Every few days, top tailors will tailor clothes for her, and she only needs to go to a certain place at a certain time and show off her clothes according to Shopkeeper Tao's arrangements.
In this way, she no longer has to worry about what to wear and how to match it, and she also has an extra income.
But after she became famous, she would attract onlookers every time she went out on the street, which made her very uncomfortable.
However, there are more and more ways to make money, and basically no capital is required, the money will automatically flow into her pocket.
There are countless cosmetics and spice shops in the capital, and these are the treasures of women.
Whenever a store launched a new product, they would rush to Liujiazhuang to invite her to try it out in the store.
Not only do you get money, but you also get good rewards.
In less than a month, the initial investment in opening the shop was earned back.
Just asking for a maid is still difficult.
She had no choice but to lower her requirements and raise her age to above thirty-five.
Most of the women who go out to work at this age shoulder the burden of supporting their families, and are much more stable than the young girls who were in their prime and had no experience before.
If they recruit one or two people they can get along with, they can also introduce relatives at home to work.
Occasionally, one or two widows can be found, and they can be allocated to the bachelors in Liujiazhuang, which adds another level of stability, and everyone is happy.
Anyway, the more money she made, the more money she made, so she simply stayed true to herself and asked a matchmaker to help more than a hundred bachelors in Liujiazhuang.
She is still able to marry a daughter-in-law when she is in her forties or fifties. Liu Jiajun in Zhuangzi respects her almost like a god.
Then, every time money came into her account, she would spend money to build a house on the old foundation and buy property. Everyone who got married would be given two houses, and she promised that if she gave birth to a child, she would get an extra house plus a house.
Two acres of land.
Liu Ang didn't care about her and let her control him. Occasionally he would help her and shout a few times as she wanted, as if she was the master of Zhuangzi.
The more everyone respects her, the sweeter her sleep will be.
Ginseng essence, Nanzhong jade and the like have long been thrown out of sight.
