A piece of chocolate, a very small piece. This piece was a whole spherical shape divided into eighths. It was cut very carefully and neatly. Wu Zhao was moved, not because of this small piece of chocolate, but because of that portion.
mind.
Maybe they would fight, argue, and want more favor, but their hearts are kind, at least they are not selfish. Wu Zhao did not think about what would happen if this was just a superficial behavior?
If a fourteen-year-old girl could have such a scheming mind, it would be terrifying.
Wu Zhao threw the small piece of chocolate into his mouth, but did not mention anything about the chocolate. He just said: "I will tell you good news and bad news. If you want to hear the good news first, you should hear the bad news first!"
"Okay!" the seven girls replied in unison.
"The good news is that you can try out Qinwangzhuang's latest products. They include quilts and clothes!"
"What about the bad news?" Cui Yingying asked on behalf of everyone.
"The bad news is that the tasks of one hundred quilts, one thousand feather coats, and ten thousand sweaters per person must be completed within ten days. Whoever fails to complete the task will be charged for the items in the room. If you complete the task, it will be free. You can
You know, things in Qinwangzhuang are very expensive, think about your monthly money!"
Monthly money!
Until now, the Seven Girls don’t know how much their monthly salary is!
Cui Yingying secretly complained that it was a bad thing. She went to see His Highness King Qin and forgot to ask them how much monthly money they had been given.
Wu Zhao casually pointed to a maid, and he didn't know which of the seven princesses was the personal maid: "Follow me, I have some things in my collection to share with you."
Wu Zhao went back to her small study. What she took out was a box of Dragon Beard Cake!
Since there was no refined white sugar in the Tang Dynasty, if you wanted to make something like this in the Tang Dynasty, you first needed white sugar.
What Wu Zhao liked was the peanut-wrapped Longxu Cake. There were twenty-four pieces in a box. Wu Zhao only kept two pieces for himself and gave the rest to the maid named Ling Ye.
When Ling Ye returned to the main hall of Qixingyuan, the so-called samples of those items had been delivered.
There are two kinds of quilts, one is called silk quilt, and the price is as high as ten guan. An introduction says that this quilt adopts the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty and has been improved by craftsmen. It requires eighteen kilograms of silkworm cocoons and two kilograms of fine linen.
Seventy-three processes were completed.
This is not a lie. Who can say that sewing quilts is not a craft?
This quilt is infinitely close to the one on Li Yuanxing's bed, which is ten pieces of money. For the seven girls, they don't have much concept of money, at least they don't know what the ten pieces of money represent?
Then there is a kind of quilt called a down quilt, which is no different in appearance from the silk quilt, but only costs three dollars per bed.
Next, is the clothes.
There are two types of down jackets and down robes. According to the introduction, you wear close-fitting clothing inside, then the down jacket, and an outer shirt. It is said that even if there is a foot of ice and snow on the ground, you will not feel cold just wearing this down jacket.
Some poor people in the Tang Dynasty also filled the quilts with feathers.
However, they are filled with full feathers.
Li Yuanxing's is a whole modern process, including multiple processes such as degreasing and steaming sulfur, and then washing it, picking out the down, and crushing the feathers to fill the down robe. The down jacket worn under the clothes is
Down on top.
A set of clothes, including trousers, made of silk and linen fabrics, cost the usual four hundred cents.
The robe was made of linen and cost only two hundred coins.
If you can't meet the quantity requirements, then you have to charge for your own expenses. You have to prepare this quilt for four beds in the house. You have it. The personal maid is sympathetic to the sisters, so why can't you give it to me?
The quilt costs 40 pieces, which is 40,000 copper coins, which is a huge sum of money.
The seventh daughter was the first to react, but it was Zheng Xiuyan: "Send someone home quickly. Just let the family buy this quantity."
"No!" Cui Yingying stopped her.
Zheng Xiuyan was about to ask what she would do if she didn't go home and ask for help, but Cui Yingying said: "It's better to open a store!"
"Where is the store?" Li Changying was very interested in opening a store and asked after him.
"Of course we will open three locations, one in Chang'an City, one in Commercial Association Street, and one in Luoyang!" Cui Yingying said after thinking for a while.
Cui Yanyan objected: "The total money the seven of us have is only 5,000 guan. The two stores in Chang'an and Commercial Association Street are short of money. It is naturally not enough to open three stores in a row."
When the seven girls are married, in addition to the personal maids, there will naturally be servants, several servants, several ordinary maids, and two or three stewards. Naturally, the number of stewards will vary depending on the number of servants.
What's more special, Li Liyuan said: "My family sent a shopkeeper here, and the plaintiff once managed a goods store in the family!"
"I also have a shopkeeper at home!"
What is really surprising is that the Seventh Family actually sent four shopkeepers. The only ones who did not send shopkeepers were Cui Yingying, Lu Qiuyu, and Wang Yuyan. Because they can call on shopkeepers at any time, such as the Cui and Lu families, and the number of shopkeepers in the study.
Three people can be dispatched to work at any time.
As for the Wang family, there are four shopkeepers in Qinwangzhuang who are learning how to operate coal and coal stoves and other related industries.
These four people can be called upon by Wang Yuyan at any time.
"I'm going to ask for a shop!" Cui Yingying stood up again: "I know that the Qin Palace has several reserved shops on Commercial Association Street."
"Looking at the sky, it should be time to prepare dinner. How about Sister Yanyan propose it to His Highness tonight!" As soon as Li Liyuan put forward this suggestion, everyone except Cui Yanyan objected to it.
dinner!
Li Yuanxing naturally wanted to be romantic, so he happened to have a candlelight dinner and drink some grape wine to increase the mood.
He found two tall red wine glasses from the warehouse, and then found a bunch of crystal bracelets. Li Yuanxing smiled happily.
"The bridal chamber is tonight!" Wu Zhao appeared behind Li Yuanxing at some unknown time. He suddenly spoke, and Li Yuanxing was so frightened that he almost smashed the wine glass in his hand. Li Yuanxing put a hand on his chest: "When did you learn from Lao Lang?
, you are so mysterious, you want to scare me to death!"
"Have you done something bad?" Wu Zhao asked with a smile.
"Nonsense, how could I do something bad?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"You didn't do anything bad. Why do you feel guilty?" As Wu Zhao spoke, he bit Li Yuanxing hard on the arm.
Li Yuanxing didn't cry out for pain or hide, letting Wu Zhao bite him.
But Wu Zhao could not be cruel anymore.
"Go ahead, and I'll give you a reminder. Is it better for seven people to agree, or seven people to disagree? You decide. I gave them a test, and the results will be there tomorrow morning. And you can decide from it,
Are they of the same mind or not?" After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he turned and left.
Is it better to be of the same mind or not to be of the same mind?
Li Yuanxing also hesitated. If we work together, the family will be harmonious and peaceful. But once there is a family conflict, the seven daughters will work together to deal with him, the King of Qin.
But if they don't agree, there will naturally be constant fights and unrest in the backyard, with everyone coming to compete for favor in front of themselves.
Thinking of fighting for favor! Li Yuanxing shuddered in his heart. In the bloody harem battles in the whip dramas of later generations, all the women who survived still had a little bit of humanity, only the most primitive desires and the most bloody interests.
When he thought of the bloody feeling, Li Yuanxing felt a pinching pain in his heart.
Wu Zhao could feel Li Yuanxing's mood. While looking at the cost accounting compiled by Qiu Xiang, he laughed at Li Yuanxing for being a fool, and a big fool at that.
With the struggle in his heart, Li Yuanxing didn't know how he walked into Qixingyuan.
There was still the lingering fragrance of the woman in the main hall, but no one was there. Walking back, I saw a girl wearing a maid uniform in front of the door of the small hall in the middle courtyard. "Your Highness, my name is Ling Ye, Princess Yan.
Princess Yan’s maid. Princess Yan sent a slave to ask Your Highness to tell you whether dinner will be served in the main courtyard or in Princess Yan’s small courtyard.”
"Let's go to the main courtyard!"
"Go and make arrangements immediately!" Ling Ye retreated, and then Li Yuanxing noticed that his main courtyard was empty.
Pass through the back hall, then walk through the corridor, bypass the master bedroom, and walk through the garden. After going out from the back door, you can see from a distance that the other seven courtyards are very popular.
The maids on the lower floors were cleaning fallen leaves, and smoke was rising from the kitchens in their respective courtyards.
Naturally, these maids, servants, and mothers were brought by each family. Some lived in the courtyard, while others lived in other courtyards in the backyard. They only entered the Qixing Courtyard when they needed to work.
While Li Yuanxing was looking at it in a daze, the maid named Ling Ye came back with several ordinary maids, each of them carrying a food box in their hands.
Dinner was placed in the master bedroom, and when Cui Yanyan arrived, all the ordinary maids had already left.
Cui Yanyan was wearing a light green silk short coat today, and Li Yuanxing knew that the down jacket underneath was the new product of Qin Wangzhuang.
The dinner was not a sumptuous one, but there were a few side dishes, but it was very unique.
The highlight of the evening is definitely not the meal. Li Yuanxing knew it, and so did Cui Yanyan. Li Yuanxing's original plan was to have a candlelight dinner, but two of Cui Yanyan's maids were standing beside the table, which were two high-power electric light cannons.
Li Yuanxing and Cui Yanyan were sitting on both sides of the small round table, not even having the slightest chance to stop.
Li Yuanxing couldn't talk about any private love talk when there were two super high-power electric light cannons standing here.
Depressed, extremely depressed. Li Yuanxing had no choice but to gossip about the war he fought on the grassland, but he couldn't talk about this topic all night. It had been almost an hour since he had eaten dinner, and the dishes were cold, but the two electric light cannons were still there.
Stand aside.
Li Yuanxing was anxious and angry, but he was too embarrassed to speak and chase people away. What he didn't know was that Cui Yanyan was even more anxious than him!
What Cui Yanyan is anxious about is why His Highness the King of Qin has no intention of taking the initiative. Should he still let himself take the initiative? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
