Dominate the ancient academy

This big brother is so awesome. Shu Xiaoxiao directly took out three thousand taels from the banknotes in her hand and said, "Big brother, you are so awesome, even more awesome than I thought. This is your dividend. From now on, we will split the shop 30% to 70%."

Even if her elder brother helped her open a shop, she couldn't just wait and accept it with a clear conscience. Her elder brother must have been very busy since he had to go to court and take care of the shop at the same time.

Moreover, it has only been a short time and he has so much silver and has bought land. His elder brother definitely did not leave any for himself. As a younger sister, he cannot be stingy and should just treat it as his private money.

She understands that men like to hide their money.

"Xiaoxiao, just keep these. Big brother has money." Shu Tingyu said helplessly. Although he didn't have much private money, the mansion would not be short of his spending. He just had to buy fewer rare books.

"Brother, isn't 30% too little? Then you take 70% and I take 30%. You've been busy all the time anyway." Shu Xiaoxiao directly gave what she had left to her eldest brother.

Fang Zheng took out the recipe and said she would be satisfied even if it was only 30% of the recipe.

Shu Tingyu: That's not what he meant. As the eldest brother, how can he help his sister run a shop to earn some pocket money? How can he take his sister's money?

But seeing his sister's unquestionable look, Shu Tingyu was also very happy.

"Okay, then Big Brother will take 30% first, but this shop was originally prepared by Mom for your dowry, and the recipe is also yours, so Big Brother will take the share when you get married."

Since his sister gave it to him, he should take it first. It would be the same if he gave it to his sister directly to buy makeup later. Thinking of this, Shu Tingyu took the silver.

And this is his sister's affirmation of him.

Since the soap shop is making so much money, Shu Xiaoxiao plans to add more varieties. For soap, there are more grades. She can also use pig pancreas to make soap, and she can also cut the soap into smaller pieces and sell it at a lower price.

Forget about essential oils, which are dispensable, but Shu Xiaoxiao still hopes that toiletries such as soap can be popularized in Daning. In modern times, many people go to the hospital due to lack of attention to hygiene, and there must be many such cases now, but they may have to endure it because they have no money.

I used soap to make it cleaner, I hope that helps a bit.

As for essential oils, women buy more of them, while men only use a few. Shu Xiaoxiao plans to make some fruity, pine, and bamboo flavors that are more suitable for men, so that they can be used by both men and women.

There is also perfume. With essential oils, perfume will be easier to make. Shu Xiaoxiao also wrote the recipe of perfume to her eldest brother. All this costs money!

Her two sisters-in-law were extremely welcoming to Shu Xiaoxiao's return this time and gave her many gifts. In return, Shu Xiaoxiao told her sisters-in-law some skin care secrets.

As a woman, she must have one or two secret recipes for skin care. With these two simple recipes, she made her two sisters-in-law very happy, and they gave Shu Xiaoxiao a lot of things.

Shu Xiaoxiao happily accepted the call. It would not be good for the family to be too formal.

Shu Xiaoxiao thought of her third brother Shu Tingfei's small treasury, and quietly donated five hundred taels of silver. Although her third brother did not contribute to the shop, he always took good care of her in the academy. The fact that she could be lazy in class was definitely due to her third brother's contribution.

It’s okay that their second brother is not at home, but they can’t just watch their third brother be poor alone.

After finally getting a holiday, Shu Xiaoxiao planned to lie down at home for a few days. There was a pond in the mansion with graceful lotus flowers. With the big trees beside, the air was much cooler.

There are also small boats in the pond, with some fruits and drinks on them. You can lie on the boat and wander around in the lotus pond. It is such a pleasant feeling.

She had made an appointment with her nephew to go boating today. The eldest brother's children, Shu Yangxu and Shu Liye, were seven and six years old respectively. They were older and had servants to look after them, so they were fine. However, the second brother's son, Shu Chenming, was only three years old and was a little too close to her.

The little three-headed baby stretched out his arms to pull her when he saw her and insisted that she hold him.

According to her second sister-in-law, her son doesn't care about anything else but faces, which is why he always sticks to Shu Xiaoxiao. So when Shu Xiaoxiao was lying on the boat, there was a little thing lying on her body.

Shu Xiaoxiao reasonably suspected that Xiao Chenming stuck to her because she carried the scent of ginseng treasure. Because of her scent, even wild boars in the mountains would not actively attack her, so it was normal for her to confuse a little kid.

Fortunately, the little one has fair skin, big watery eyes, and she likes to smile at Shu Xiaoxiao, so it's nice to hug such a little angel.

She sat on the boat holding little Chen Ming and watched Shu Yangxu and Shu Liye rowing. Shu Yangxu and Shu Liye were now practicing rowing hard in order to participate in the dragon boat race.

The minimum age to participate in the dragon boat race is ten years old. The third brother Shu Tingfei has participated and is practicing these two days. The two in the family want to participate but unfortunately they don’t meet the requirements, so they can only practice hard in the pond and strive to win the championship when they are able to participate.

Little Chen Ming stared closely at the movements of his two brothers. Whenever there were splashes of water or drops of water falling on them, he couldn't stop laughing.

In the end, the two children rowed around the boat that Shu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Chenming were in. Xiao Chenming's head turned around and around, and he was very busy.

Ye Xuening, Zhou Wenxiu, and Zhao Yiyi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sat under the pavilion and watched little Chen Ming laughing non-stop, which was a rare moment of relaxation.

Zhou Wenxiu: "Xiaoxiao is still popular with the children. This time when she came back, all three children were attached to her, and we felt relieved."

Zhao Yiyi also said: "That's right, Chen Ming doesn't even ask me to hug him now, but it's also because Xiaoxiao has a good temper and he doesn't get impatient with the three of them."

Zhao Yiyi continued, "Mom, calculate the time, my little sister will be back soon, right?"

She knew that the mansion had gone to pick up her sister-in-law, but she had never met her and didn't know whether they could get along well. Boys and girls are different. It's okay for a cousin like her to have a bad temper if he often stays in the academy, but she would have to get along with her sister-in-law often, so she hoped she would be easy to get along with.

But my cousin grew up with my sister-in-law. Judging from the way my cousin is, my sister-in-law shouldn't be much worse.

Zhou Wenxiu, who was standing by, looked at her sister-in-law on the boat who was shouting to cheer for her son, and twitched her lips. Who would have thought that her sister-in-law had already returned?

But I can only pretend that I don't know about this, and I coughed: "My little sister is not in good health, and she must be tired from the journey. Mother, should we prepare anything?"

Zhao Yiyi: "I have some nice cloth. I'll give it to you to make two sets of clothes. They will definitely look good when you go out."

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Make a few more nice-looking clothes, and you will feel more confident when you go out.

"My elder sister-in-law and I will take my younger sister out to play a few times, so that she can make some friends that she can get along with." By making friends and communicating more, with the status of their general's mansion, they should be able to quickly integrate into the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.

Ye Xue Ning looked at her nephew who was having fun below and her eyes wandered for a moment: "Well, your little sister is not in good health, so you don't need to prepare anything. As for going out, we'll see how your little sister is doing when the time comes!"

Given my daughter's current situation, she probably won't be able to make any close friends, but she is more likely to make friends with brothers.

Shu Xiaoxiao was having fun playing with her three nephews at home when suddenly her eldest brother came to ask her for something.

Shu Xiaoxiao was confused. She came to her eldest brother's study and found her third brother there too: "Brother? What's the matter?"

Shu Tingyu: "You will return to the general's mansion tomorrow. Leave the city today and get ready."

Shu Xiaoxiao's face was full of question marks: "Am I not in the mansion?"

Shu Tingfei said cheerfully: "Xiaoxiao, you are the cousin now, and Xiaoxiao will be back tomorrow."

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Oh, brother, aren't you looking for someone to pretend to be me?"

Shu Tingyu said seriously: "I only pretended to be you when you were in the general's mansion, but try to be yourself outside."

Then he picked up the veil on the table and handed it to Shu Xiaoxiao: "Remember to wear the veil when you go into the city, and try to look as poor as possible."

You can't use your cousin's identity for the rest of your life, so it's best if you don't use a substitute when you go out in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to explain any negligence.
