Chapter 305: A New Outlook in the Alliance
In this way, the women in that small courtyard not only had to work, but also had to listen to the old lady Hu's teachings on the virtues that women should uphold every day, and they also had to dream of being able to embroider screens that could be sold for hundreds of gold.
For other women who had just joined the family, Qin Qiong asked Aunt Mei to choose the simplest and most special pattern from those flowers, and arrange it in a chain style. She then made it into various bracelets, hat brims, children's shoe uppers, belts and so on. She said they were souvenirs from Tuo Town, and everyone who came here must buy them. They would be distributed throughout the town and must be in every store. As long as they were sold, she would get two copper coins.
Many of these things were probably made by the women in the town, so the merchants in the town didn't think much about it. Those with storefronts just put some out, and when someone came they would ask if they wanted to take one for themselves. Anyway, it didn't take up any labor or space.
Some women followed Daixiang to do work, but they were just doing the work and were not paid.
Why? Daixiang is not an ordinary person now. She is the wife of a noble family who never leaves her house. She is the wife of Mr. Qin of the Anmin League. So, letting you follow her is to teach you. This is an opportunity.
Daixiang prepared a banquet when the prince came to the alliance. At that time, the prince, Mr. Chen, Mr. Guo and others praised the food highly. It turned out that he was indeed from the royal court!
Therefore, many daughters-in-law from wealthy families in the town wanted to learn from her. However, it was not the case that they could be taught just because they wanted to. They had to get Mrs. Xiang's consent and schedule a time.
Now, wherever Uncle Qin goes, he is the most popular person, because he is much easier to talk to than Sect Master Qin, especially to the people in the prisoner camp.
Now the prince exempted the prisoners from the official camp. Many women followed Mrs. Hu to the alliance to do some work, and the men also had the opportunity to paint and write poems, and more of them got civil service jobs in the palace.
The establishment of trade routes has brought about many more tax-related matters, and the prince seems to be interested in re-planning this place. Therefore, a large number of knowledgeable talents are needed here, and almost all the people who have committed crimes in the official camp can be used.
At the same time, the town's planning and the future of An Ning State may have some new developments. The literati seem to have seen something...
At this time, Daixiang's smoothie shop plays another role.
Daixiang would certainly not do business to make money. She and Xiugu opened that store in the first place because many stores were not rented out at that time. Xiugu pulled her in to help Mr. Gao. It was Xiugu who showed up, but Daixiang did not.
Therefore, many desserts in the store are sold at a half-price and half-given away, for example: children in the college, Uncle Qin’s poetry friends, old friends and so on.
Later, all those shops were rented out, and Uncle Qin's friends complained to Brother Jinchang that there was not even a place to discuss poetry or literature in this town.
So, Uncle Qin went to the town and bought a small teahouse, named it "Xiang Ming Xuan", and actually started doing business.
However, tea is for sale, and the dessert is half-sold and half-given away.
Because of the freezing point here, it is of course cool with ice, and the place is spacious and comfortable, which is perfect for scholars to gather and recite poems. Scholars flocked here and it immediately became a sight to behold in the town.
On the day when "Xiang Ming Xuan" opened, King An Ning happened to be in town and came to congratulate in person. After eating the smoothie, he said "good" three times in a row.
Now this place and Uncle Qin's identity have changed all of a sudden. Who wouldn't want to have a closer relationship with Lord An Ning?
I heard that the town is going to set up some high-paying positions in the next few days...
Therefore, the three officials who came with Uncle Qin naturally had the advantage of being close to the people. Afterwards, all the families there also established close social relations with Uncle Qin.
But for Qin Qiong, all this just proved to her once again that the others were all born by Aunt Mei, and she was the only one raised by her stepmother...
She didn't even know about the opening of this pavilion. As soon as Uncle Qin told Aunt Mei about it, she gave the money without even knowing about it.
Afterwards, she tactfully told Aunt Mei that it would be better for her to know about the alliance. Aunt Mei snorted and walked away, then ignored her for several days.
Qin Qiong was so angry that he fell backwards.
However, there was also an advantage to that place. Qin Qiong soon heard all kinds of news from the royal court. At this time, she did not let Mr. Gao participate. Some news was really not good for Mr. Gao to hear. He would only be sad...
There are good news and some regrettable things. Among them, Xiu Gu rejected the proposal of an outsider man and made it clear that she would guard the academy and the Anmin League for her whole life.
This is really sad.
Qin Qiong could see that the man who came to propose to her was too despicable and his purpose was too obvious. Thinking of the scar on Xiu Gu's face, he was afraid that she would not be able to get married, so he wanted to marry into the Zhang family and become a master of a college to live a comfortable life. Anyone with a discerning eye could see this.
However, the scar on Xiu Gu's face is real, which would be a hurdle for her to marry a good man. But no one expected Xiu Gu to be so determined.
Qin Qiong had already seen that Xiu Gu liked Mr. Gao, so she thought, this...
Of course, she fully supports the monogamy of modern marriage law, but this, she stared at Mr. Gao hard, hoping that he would express his feelings, but unexpectedly, Mr. Gao lowered his head and walked away...
Men in the world are the most ruthless! She sighed deeply!
However, not everyone was disappointed. The embroidery room had an old lady who was highly respected and came from a noble family. Suddenly, a lot of embroidery work came in, and the alliance also took on a lot of work, so the craftsmen were so busy that they were running around.
When the first caravan came back, not long after, the eldest grandson of Uncle Li got engaged. Soon, several families in the town were going to hold weddings. At this time, Qutou's in-laws came to get married.
Qu Tou had been following Qin Qiong for a while, and had not gone out to work like other craftsmen, so naturally he did not get much cash. But everyone could see that Qu Tou had made contributions to the alliance, so when Qin Qiong said that the alliance would pay for the dowry for the Qu family, people were not surprised at all, and everyone was happy for Qu Tou.
That family was also a family of craftsmen, and their hometown was in Bande City. When Qutou was demoted, they did not cancel the engagement and even sent money to support him. Now they were willing to come from thousands of miles away to marry the girl, which showed that they were a good family that valued their promises and kept their word.
Qin Qiong also took a look at the boy and found him not bad, with a clean-cut and neat face, and seemed like someone who could be trusted. Qin Qiong was also very happy for Qutou's daughter, and not only gave her ten carts of various dowries, but also gave her five hundred taels of silver as a dowry.
Such a dowry really moved Qutou so much that he burst into tears.
As soon as the Qutou family wedding was over, Qin Qiong went into the mountains, because the ice business was so good! Ice was a hot commodity in this season, and with the expenses for Uncle Qin's teahouse, Qin Qiong went into the mountains to fill ice again.
This time the order was placed by Yutian City where the prince was located. The quantity was large, and with the prince's face, Qin Qiong personally took action.
In fact, the main reason was that she had finished her ice cream. There was no air conditioning at the foot of the mountain, and she couldn’t stand it without ice!
