The dog has been with Yinzhen for many years. He is smart and eager to learn, and he is also literate. Now he is promoted by Yinzhen and promoted to an official. His future prospects are limitless.
After listening to Gou'er's words, Ling Ruo was also happy for him, "You can take up the post with peace of mind, I will take good care of Ayi and never let her suffer any injustice. When you settle down in the future, if Ayi is willing, you can
Take her over,"
"With Fujin's words, this slave will feel at ease." Gou'er breathed a sigh of relief, and being promoted to an official position was a great opportunity for him. The only person he was worried about was A Yi. He originally wanted to bring A Yi along with him.
But firstly, the journey is far away, and secondly, I don’t know what the situation is there. It will inevitably be inconvenient for me to be alone and bring a sister with me.
Glancing at Li Wei and others who looked envious, Ling Ruo said, "Since you are going to be an official, you should change your name to someone else. Otherwise, it would be a joke for the dignified county magistrate to call you a dog."
Gou'er smiled and said, "Yesterday, Fourth Master gave me a name. My family name is Zhang, so Fourth Master gave me the name Zhang Cheng."
"That's very good. You are where you are today thanks to the cultivation and promotion of the fourth master. From now on, you should serve the master loyally." After saying this for a few more words, the dog said, oh, now it's time to call Zhang Cheng, and then he left Jingsi.
I'm getting ready to pack my bags when I get home.
It wasn't until Zhang Cheng had gone out of sight that Li Wei withdrew his envious gaze. He looked up and saw Ling Ruo looking at him, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Since being punished last time, Li Wei has been silent in front of Ling Ruo for a long time. He only agrees when Ling Ruo calls him or sends him orders. However, he is no longer as careful and steady as before when doing things. Sometimes,
Even simple things could go wrong, which made Ling Ruo very dissatisfied with him. Mo Yu and others tried to persuade Li Wei several times, but unfortunately he didn't listen at all and still went his own way.
Shortly after Zhang Cheng left, A Yi walked in and was very happy to learn that his brother was going to be allowed to serve as an official. Later, Ling Ruo asked about Fu Congzhi.
A fire in the deserted temple destroyed Fu Congzhi's eyes, making him unable to see from now on; Ling Ruo originally wanted him to testify against Tong Jia, but in the end Yinzhen forgave Tong Jia, making Fu Congzhi useless.
's abandoned son.
Ling Ruo originally planned to give him a sum of money and let him go home, but Fu Congzhi said that he had lost his family long ago and did not plan to go back, but wanted to stay in the capital. He said that although he could not see with both eyes
, but he has a good memory and can do arithmetic, so he can help the Mao brothers with their business. Ling Ruo happened to want to do the spice business at that time, so he let him stay.
After that, she went to Hangzhou with Yinzhen. When she came back, she heard that the consignment of spices gradually started to do business after it started to cool down for a while. The fragrant powder prepared by Shuiyue was elegant and good, and was very popular among the ladies. They often
Let people buy it.
Seeing the profit, the Mao brothers decided to sell it themselves. So they tightened their belts and allocated more than half of the little money they had to find the cheapest store nearby and rent it. The name of the store was **Zhai.
They mainly sell incense powder, but also sell some jewelry, fans and silks.
Originally, Mao Da wanted to hire someone to take care of the store, and then let Fu Congzhi settle accounts in the store. Unexpectedly, Fu Congzhi not only had a good memory, but also had a very good nose. With so many fragrant powders placed together, he
He was able to identify each box of fragrant powder and hand it to the guests accurately, which was easier than people with normal eyesight.
So later on, he simply saved the money for hiring people and let Fu Congzhi take charge of the business of **Zhai. However, because of his inconvenient eyesight, Ayi stayed to take care of it with him; Ling Ruo came back
Later, he acquiesced to the matter and did not order Ayi to come back. He only asked her to come back and report once after a while.
"**Zhai has been open for a few months, and now it has gradually started to do business. We can sell several bottles of fragrant powder every day. However, customers often say that apart from the fragrant powder, there is nothing else in our store that can be used on the body.
They often have to go to other stores to buy things, which is quite inconvenient.”
Ling Ruo nodded while listening. In addition to perfume, women also have rouge, lipstick, powder, eyebrow ink, etc. Nowadays, they only have one type of perfume in the store. It is really too single. In the capital with so many cosmetics shops, it is difficult to truly
Get a foothold.
After asking Shuiyue, she said that she knew a little bit about how to make these things, but not all of them, not to mention that one person couldn't make so many things.
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said to Ayi: "I'll give my monthly salary to Mao Da and the others later, and ask them to try to hire a capable incense maker. Then we can make something other than incense powder."
The things are placed in the shop, and secondly, he can help Shuiyue complete the remaining recipes passed down by his ancestors. At first
Since **Zhai is famous in the capital, it must have something special about it. Even if it only restores one or two parts, it will be enough for us." Without money and many connections, we cannot build it. Money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done.
. Now that there is such a possible way to make money, Ling Ruo naturally wants to give it a try.
"As for Fu Congzhi..." Xian pointed at his chin and said, "Since he has such a sensitive sense of smell, he shouldn't waste it. Help him smell which flowers and plants will be more attractive when mixed in it." After Ayi agreed.
Then she added: "But you still have to keep an eye on Fu Congzhi. I'm afraid that his love for Tong Jia is still lingering. If this is really the case, he will be a disaster to us and we must not let him go."
"Please remember this, slave." Ayi bit her lip and whispered, "Slave, can you go and see your brother?" Zhang Cheng's departure would take at least three to five years, even if he had someone pick him up after he settled down.
Ayi is not a short-term thing. Ayi, who has never been separated from Zhang Changcheng for a long time, will inevitably feel reluctant to let go.
Ling Ruo smiled warmly, "Go ahead, remember not to let too many people see you."
"Hey!" Ayi happily agreed and left quickly with light steps. When he walked into the courtyard, a ray of sunshine fell from the clouds and happened to shine on Ayi's face. Under the near-spring sunshine,
, making the red scar on her face less obvious.
Seeing the small purple flower A Yi wore on her temples, Ling Ruo sighed silently, A Yi, she was originally a young girl, but because of Ye's sins, her face became like yin and yang, and she still has no trace of it.
It is really a pity to marry.
With this ray of sunshine, the clouds gradually dispersed, and large tracts of light golden sunshine fell down, warm and welcoming, and finally began to have a hint of spring.
It has been a while since the daphne, camellia, peony and other flowers and trees placed in the courtyard were moved from the greenhouse. It was not clear before, so they were not obvious, but now they look a bit ruined.
Ling Ruoyang said: "Little Weizi, take these flowers back to the greenhouse, and then bring in a few more pots that are blooming."
"Is there only one slave?" Li Wei asked, looking at at least a dozen pots of flower trees in the courtyard.
