Dominate the ancient academy

She would definitely listen to others’ advice and eat her fill, and she would not act on her own.

"By the way, brother, the soap I made should be ready to be demolded tomorrow. Go back and try it on your face. The effect will definitely be better than bath beans. If you find it works well, ask the housekeeper to find someone to make more. It will definitely make money."

Soap has always been a daily necessity. It is not as sensitive as salt. If handled improperly, the whole family will be executed. It doesn't matter how the soap is sold in the General's Mansion. With the General's Mansion as a backer, no one dares to cause trouble.

"Are you short of money?"

I don't have any money with me today, otherwise I could go and cheat... to coax her tonight, no, ask my wife for some money. It should be okay to just say it's a social occasion, right?

After all, no matter how poor you are, you cannot neglect education, and no matter how hard your life is, you cannot let your younger sisters suffer. Girls should be pampered.

"No, I have plenty of money. I haven't spent all the money my mother gave me, and I haven't touched the money you gave me yet."

Although she may not be as good as the eldest brother, after all, the eldest brother can easily take out two thousand taels of silver notes, but her wealth can definitely defeat the third brother with overwhelming strength, okay?

"This soap is really good, and I want to open a shop for fun."

The important thing is, who would complain about having too much money? If the soap can't make money, it would be disrespectful to the soap. She never doubted whether the soap could make money.

"Brother, how much does a shop cost?" Anyway, she still had several thousand taels, and buying a shop was just a drop in the bucket. Money would only grow more and more if it was invested. She was waiting for the money she took out to return to her pocket many times over.

"Then I'll go get one thousand taels first. Big brother, please see if there is a suitable store." As she said that, she stood up and prepared to go to the room to get the silver notes. This was of course an excuse, because the silver notes were in the space of the ginseng treasure, but she couldn't just take them out out of thin air.

Moreover, buying a store requires earning money, and you definitely cannot use your eldest brother’s money. Previously, it was pocket money that the brother gave to his sister. The two are different.

Shu Tingyu hurriedly pulled his sister who was about to get the silver. It was just a shop, why would he need his sister to take money? Even if he didn't have the silver to buy a shop, there could be no shop in the mansion.

"No need to take the silver. We have a shop in the general's mansion, and mother has prepared a dowry shop for you. You can take one out first so you can practice."

Normally, a young lady at this age should learn how to be a housekeeper. Now that Xiaoxiao is in the academy, she doesn't have to worry about the household. This is a good opportunity for her to practice running the shop so that she won't be fooled by the servants when she gets married.

"Dowry! How old am I? You're already preparing a dowry for me?" Shu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She was only ten years old. Ten years old! Did she already have to think about the dowry?

Shu Tingyu didn't understand what was so surprising about this: "Yes! Your parents have been saving for your dowry since you were born. They have money, shops, and houses. If other young ladies have them, our Xiaoxiao will definitely have a lot."

Yes, in ancient times, dowry seemed to be saved from childhood. This was a common practice. She had to adapt to the local customs. This is the legendary: your birth is the end point of others. This feeling is really great.

"Haha, I just forgot. It's good to have a shop. Then, big brother, remember to use the soap I made when you wash and bathe tomorrow. Also, remind mother and sister-in-law. If you think it's good, you can open a shop."

"Okay, if it works better than bath beans, I'll make sure you see the soap shop open when you take a bath."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Words are not enough to prove it. Let's wait until she makes the salt. Now he says that she can make the salt free of impurities. They probably didn't expect that. When Senior Brother Yun comes back, she can ask him to borrow salt. Considering her friendship with Senior Brother Yun, there should be no problem.

As he had to attend court the next day, Shu Tingyu did not stay long. After explaining everything, he returned to Kyoto.

It was a coincidence that just after Shu Tingyu left, Senior Brother Yun and Huo Feng knocked on the door. This must be a brush with the eldest brother.

However, it was a good coincidence that Senior Brother Yun came back, and dinner was ready. We could talk about anything after dinner.

"Brother Yun, this paper and ink smell so good!"

She always thought that the fragrance of ink had a stinky smell, but she didn't expect that real ink is so fragrant.

"Master Ye, this is the Longwei inkstone from Shezhou that was gifted by the emperor. Even if the prince wanted it, the emperor would not give it to him. Especially since this inkstone can store water without freezing in the cold winter and without rotting in the hot summer, and it also has its own fragrance. It is the tribute among tributes."

"Wow!" Shu Xiaoxiao looked as if she had never seen the world before, mainly because she really had never seen it before. This would be a priceless treasure in modern times, and could be passed down from generation to generation, right?

Looking at the two people making a fuss over a piece of ink, Yun Qinghan felt that his status as a prince had completely disappeared in the face of their amazement.

"Precious things can only be useful if they are used. If you want to practice good calligraphy, you must have good paper and ink. Practice well. When you run out of paper and ink, I'll get some for you."

A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. The difference between different pens and ink is more than just a slight one. If you have the conditions, why use the inferior one?

"Okay, Brother Yun."

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly put the things back into the room. The main reason was that if there weren't outsiders around, Shenbao would have wanted to attack. In order to prevent Shenbao from losing control of himself, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly put these things into the room and let Shenbao appreciate them slowly. After all, this was a real academic master.

She really likes these things and values ​​the value of the pens, ink, paper and inkstone themselves. As a layman, she only looks at the attached value, that is, how much money it is worth. Anyway, the better the things, the more expensive they will be.

Looking at Senior Brother Yun leaning on the kang table, any random shot of him would look like a wallpaper. There is no need to find the angle because there is no blind spot in the 360-degree view.

Even she, who wasn't much of a fangirl, wanted to take a few more glances at Senior Brother Yun. His looks, manners, and temperament were simply perfect.

Fortunately, she is not bad looking now, and with the nourishment of ginseng treasure, she at least won't feel inferior in front of Senior Brother Yun.

Shu Xiaoxiao sat down next to Yun Qinghan reluctantly: "Brother, will you go back to the academy with me tomorrow?"

"Master Wu handed you over to me, so I must take you back. Otherwise, who would know where you want to go to play?" Yun Qinghan asked back seriously, as if she would really go out to play secretly.

"No way, I will definitely go back to the academy tomorrow, it's just...it's just..." Shu Xiaoxiao pointed at her finger with an embarrassed look.

"Just what?"

"I wanted to buy 50 kilograms of salt, but the shop said they wouldn't sell it to me without a household registration." Shu Xiaoxiao looked unconvinced.

Huo Feng coughed and said, "Mr. Ye, if I dare to sell you 50 kilograms of salt without a household registration, then there is no need to open any shop."

"But I am useful! Senior Brother Yun, can you help me find 50 kilograms of salt? I want to do an experiment, and I will tell you the first or second one when the time comes."

"Who should I tell first?"

"Tell my elder brother! It's the eldest son of the general's mansion. He is very nice to me. I want to give him a surprise." The elder brother didn't know about the soap and horseshoes first. For the sake of two thousand taels of silver, she had to give him priority.

"The first one told me, two hundred pounds."

Little heartless guy, he treats you as well as I treat you? And you want to be the second one to tell him, huh, he just wants to be the first one to know.

"make a deal!"

Although this priority is gone, I can wait for the next one. It must be very troublesome for big brother to make 100 kilograms of salt, but it should be much easier for Senior Sister Yun. She can just wait for her to make the fine salt and bring more for big brother. Big brother shouldn't mind.

Yun Qinghan was very satisfied with Shu Xiaoxiao's straightforwardness. It seemed that this elder brother was not very important after all! He was definitely not as good as her.
