You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

As several women in gorgeous robes and brocade clothes in the crowd began to buy, more than twenty pieces were sold in a short while.

At this time, a rich lady walked out of the town, followed by a team of guards, who were obviously also attracted by the charming fragrance.

"It smells so good, what good stuff has come out here?" She looked at the crowd curiously, wanting to find out what was going on.

However, the crowd was so tight that she had trouble squeezing through.

So she signaled the guards behind her for help.

The guard shouted loudly: "Miss Que is here, folks, please make way!"

With this shout, the crowd instantly quieted down.

Some people began to discuss in a low voice: "It's the mayor's daughter, Que Zhihe. She has many suitors and is said to have a fierce personality. Last time, a blind guy insulted her behind her back, and someone broke his arm. Now she is still lying at home!"

Hearing this, the crowd retreated, not wanting to offend the rich lady.

When Que Zhihe heard this, she frowned slightly, but soon relaxed her brows.

She raised her head and walked towards the source of the fragrance in a pretentiously arrogant manner.

Zhao Wuji and Yu Linglong frowned and looked at Changqing worriedly.

However, Chang Qing's mouth curled up, and he was secretly happy: "The little fat sheep is here."

When Que Zhihe picked up a bar of soap and sniffed it.

Chang Qing immediately used the classic sales pitch of the Nine Regions: "My beautiful lady, the item in your hand is called 'soap', which is used for bathing and washing. It can make your skin smooth as jade, and the fragrance lasts all day long. More importantly, long-term use can also generate this fragrance in your body, which will become your unique body fragrance. It is the best product for women to wash."

Que Zhihe sniffed it carefully and nodded: "It is indeed more fragrant than the Ningxiang Pills from Wanbaolou in Zhoucheng. How much is this soap?"

"One fifty-penny piece."

Que Zhihe nodded and said, "It's not too expensive."

Chang Qing replied, "You really are a connoisseur. The scent of this soap complements your temperament perfectly, just like a pearl and a fairy, a perfect match!"

Que Zhihe was very pleased after hearing this: "Not bad, it seems you have some taste. I want everything on your stall." After that, she asked the guard to take out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Changqing, "The rest will be given to you as a reward."

Chang Qing bowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your generosity, Miss. I wish you eternal youth..."

Watching Que Zhihe's back gradually walking away, Chang Qing stood up, picked up the silver, weighed it, and was quite satisfied.

Then he said to Grandpa Zhao and Yu Linglong beside him: "Grandpa Zhao, Sister Linglong, let's sell the remaining things at a low price. This money should be enough for us to buy a lot of things."

The two nodded in agreement, and Changqing followed suit and shouted loudly. Due to the favorable prices, everything was sold out in a short while.

The three of them packed their bags and went shopping. After buying some daily necessities, they spent less than two taels of silver.

It just so happened that Yu Linglong mentioned that there was a bookstore nearby that Chang Qing had been longing for, so the three of them entered the bookstore.

The bookstore owner saw that the three people were dressed shabbily and did not welcome them warmly, but fortunately he did not kick them out.

Yu Linglong asked where the books for teaching children to read and write were, and the shopkeeper pointed in a direction.

Changqing was not annoyed by the shopkeeper's indifference. After all, in this world, it was a great achievement for poor people to be able to afford to go to school.

He selected several books on humanities and geography and prepared to pay for them, but he didn't expect that these few books would cost nearly five taels of silver.

This made him secretly sarcastic. He only remembered one sentence in his mind: "How can a career in politics be opened up for people from humble backgrounds?"

The educational situation in this world is far behind that in the Nine Realms.

Seeing how generous the three men were, the shopkeeper stopped looking down on them, wrapped up a few books, and handed them to Changqing respectfully.

After leaving the bookstore, Changqing bought some "jiuqu" and a lot of potatoes that looked like "sweet potatoes".

He has never given up the idea of ​​brewing wine, and now that he has all the materials, he can start brewing sweet potato wine.

The three of them carried their heavy bags and walked home along the road.

At this time, a luxurious carriage passed by them, and the curtain was blown up by the wind, revealing the extremely handsome young man inside.

The carriage sped into the Que Mansion in Changyang Town and stopped. The handsome young man got off the carriage and was about to enter the mansion when he saw Que Zhihe.

"Sister Qingxi! Why are you here?" Que Zhihe ran over and asked in surprise.

"I finished my work at the county government office next door and came to see you." The man dressed as a handsome young man replied.

"You are dressed as a man again! I wonder how many good girls you have charmed along the way." Que Zhihe said jokingly.

"Zhihe, stop talking about me. Your mother is a famous beauty in our state. If you dress up seriously, I'm afraid you won't even be as beautiful as me!" Yu Yu Qingxi responded with a smile.

Que Zhihe waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't cater to other people's aesthetics, I just be myself."

"Okay, okay, I heard on the way that you beat up the person who said bad things about you behind your back?" Yu Yu Qingxi asked.

"Oh, Sister Qingxi, why are you like those people, thinking that I did it! That's not true. That guy didn't know who he had offended, and he was put in a sack and beaten. As a result, everyone in the town thinks I did it!"

Que Zhihe pouted her lips, and she had a different kind of charm when she was angry.

"Really?" he confirmed.

"Of course, I will admit what I did, and no one can blame me for what I didn't do." Que Zhihe puffed out his chest, very frankly.

"Okay, okay, I believe you. But why don't you stay at home and go out to play again?" Yu Yu Qingxi asked with a smile.

Que Zhihe smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Yu Qingxi's ear and said, "Sister, you came at the right time. I just found a good thing. You have definitely never seen it before."

"Oh? Sister Zhihe, did you get some treasure? Let me see it quickly." Yu Qingxi's curiosity was aroused.

"Keep it secret for now." Que Zhihe blinked, then instructed the servant at the door: "Prepare bath water for me and Sister Yu Qingxi first."

Although Yu Qingxi was full of questions, he was still pulled into the bathroom by Que Zhihe.

Soon, when the two came out, Yu Qingxi had returned to her female form, with her long wet hair draped over her shoulders. She did not look coquettish at all, but instead exuded a heroic spirit.

Que Zhihe had a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, and looked like a natural beauty. With her thick and soft black hair and sad makeup, she looked like a fairy walking out of a painting.

The two of them sat in the yard, sipping scented tea and holding the pink soap in their hands.

Yu Qingxi couldn't help asking, "Sister Zhihe, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what this is. I have never seen it before. It is even better than the Ningxiang Pills sold in the Wanbao Pavilion in the Imperial City and the prefecture."

Que Zhihe smiled proudly: "This is a treasure I found in the town's market this morning. It was sold by a boy who was less than ten years old. Since my sister mentioned Ningxiang Pills, guess how much this soap is worth?"

Yu Qingxi pondered for a moment and slowly analyzed: "Ningxiang Pills are hot-selling products in the imperial capital of Xingyang State. They are deeply loved by the rich and powerful. They are made of a variety of precious spices. They are sold at 20 taels of silver per piece in Wanbao Pavilion and can be used for half a year. And this soap has a stronger fragrance. It will take about two months to use it up at the fastest. Therefore, I guess its price will not be less than 10 taels of silver per piece."

Que Zhihe shook her head.

"Is it twenty taels?" Yu Qingxi asked tentatively.

Que Zhihe still shook her head and stretched out her hand to make a five.

"Fifty taels? Or five taels? Fifty taels is too expensive, it shouldn't be possible. Could it be five taels?" Yu Qingxi guessed.

Seeing that Yu Qingxi couldn't guess it, Que Zhihe finally revealed the answer: "Fifty copper coins!"

"Fifty copper coins!? So cheap? Is there any hidden danger in this soap?" Yu Qingxi asked in surprise.

"Sister, haven't you noticed yet? After washing, my skin is so smooth and delicate, just like a baby's skin."

Que Zhihe explained, "It shouldn't be any bad."

Yu Qingxi nodded, and then asked, "Is that stall still there? I also want to buy a few pieces to give to my relatives and friends."

"No more." Que Zhihe shook her head regretfully.

"But I bought all the soaps on that stall. If you want some, I'll give you a few dozen."

That day, Yu Qingxi rushed back to the provincial capital with the soap.

A few days later, she gave some soaps to her relatives and friends. In just half a month, a trend about soaps spread rapidly among the nobles.

Chang Qing didn't know about this until much later...
