Qi Rui looked at Zhou Mingshu like this and felt that she was a little fairy.
He shines but doesn't even know it, and he's still so humble.
He didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly reached out and pinched the little round ball on Zhou Mingshu's head.
By the time he reacted, the pinching was already finished.
"Haha, I think your hairstyle today is very cute, like a little rabbit." Qi Rui smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, really? My second sister helped me with my hairstyle. Many of my beautiful hairstyles were done by her. She is very accomplished in this area."
Zhou Mingshu admired his own beauty while looking at the river. His bulging hair bun really looked like rabbit ears.
Even though I know I am beautiful, I still feel extremely happy when others compliment me.
Qi Rui looked at her and thought about what gift to give her.
The two stayed by the river for a long time, and Zhou Mingshu didn't say goodbye until the restaurant opened.
Qi Rui had nothing to do, so he sent her back to the restaurant before leaving.

After several days, the Zhou family actually welcomed a rare guest.
It’s Butler Niu!
Zhou Mingshu had already seen the scroll that Magistrate Niu gave to Lord Qi, and thought that Housekeeper Niu came this time to give her one as well.
Unexpectedly, when Butler Niu opened his mouth, I realized that it was not the case at all.
"Miss Mingshu, my wife asked me to come here to tell you that the perfume you gave her last time is so useful. It just so happened that she attended a flower-viewing banquet two days ago, and the ladies of other mansions wanted to buy some after seeing it. My wife knew that you were in this business, so she wanted to introduce some business to you..."
Damn!
It turned out to be the case.
This is really great.
"Thank you, Madam, for thinking of Mingshu. Uncle Butler, please come with me here. I happen to have some at home. I will pack them up for you to take away."
"Good good."
Butler Niu followed Zhou Mingshu to the warehouse, took a box and started packing things in it.
"Miss Mingshu, I wonder how much this perfume is sold for, so my wife can help you collect the money."
Zhou Mingshu smiled.
"Uncle housekeeper, my ointment is not expensive. It doesn't cost much, but some shopkeepers want to sell it for several taels of silver. Some sell it for five taels a bottle, and some sell it for eight taels a bottle. You can just let Madam collect the money. You don't have to give it to me. Just think of it as a gift to honor her."
"Oh, this is inappropriate. I didn't realize that Madam wanted to do this business. I just wanted to get you some business. Let's set a price first. I'll go back and ask Madam to make up her mind, so I don't have to make another trip."
Zhou Mingshu thought about it and it made sense. In this era, there are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and officials may find it troublesome and not want to get involved.
"Then let's set it at five taels, and say that we're only offering it this cheap because of Madam's kindness. If you buy it outside, it would cost eight taels."
When Butler Niu heard this, he burst out laughing. No wonder they can make money.
If you sell things this way, the ladies will naturally buy more.
On the other hand, it also brings honor to his wife.
"Okay, okay, let's just say this."
After finishing packaging the finalized ointment, Zhou Mingshu took some sachets and perfumes.
"Uncle housekeeper, these are scented bags. Hang them in the closet to fumigate clothes. After one night, the fragrance on the clothes will last for the whole day. These bottles are scented dew. Apply some on your wrists or behind your ears. The fragrance will also remain. Having a scent on your body will leave a good impression on others."
Butler Niu smiled with his eyes narrowed. He found these things interesting as soon as he heard them.
Those little girls will definitely like it.
"Okay, Miss Mingshu, I will definitely pass on what you just said."
"Thank you, Uncle Butler. You must have come all this way to make this trip. Sit down and rest for a while before you go. I just made some jelly and I'll bring you a bowl right away."
Butler Niu picked up the wooden box and followed Zhou Mingshu to the kitchen.
I saw her lift the cage cloth and scoop out some transparent substance with a spoon, and then I saw her scoop out some juice and pour it on it.
At his age, he has never seen anything like this.
What did Mingshu say just now? Oh, it’s called "liangfen".
Looking at this thing, it lives up to its name.
"Uncle housekeeper, try it. It has some red sugar syrup on it. It tastes sweet."
Butler Niu took it, scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm~ It's delicious."
He said "delicious" twice and then started eating seriously.
The taste and flavor are absolutely amazing!
He is old and his teeth have always been in poor condition, so it is rare for him to eat such delicious food.
After finishing one bowl, Zhou Mingshu served another one.
"Uncle housekeeper, it's not easy for you to come here. If you like it, eat more. I made a lot."
Butler Niu took the bowl with a shameless smile.
"Miss Mingshu, I've heard from my master before that you're a great cook. I've always thought you were on par with the chefs in the county town's restaurants. After tasting your food today, I find it's truly extraordinary."
Zhou Mingshu sat aside and laughed. All her successes were due to chili peppers and high technology. Without the help of the system, she would just be an ordinary person and would not have any skills that could amaze people.
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Steward. Next time you come with the county magistrate, I'll ask Mingshu to make you a few more side dishes to try."
Butler Niu was truly touched. He was just a butler, and the respect he received when he went out to do work was only because of the county magistrate's face.
Now he saw only sincerity on the little girl's face, without any flattery at all.
No wonder such a girl is so lovable, and he likes her from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, I will come over if I have the chance."
After eating two bowls of sweet ice jelly, the old housekeeper felt a little bloated.
After finishing his work, he did not stay any longer and rode away with his things.
After Zhou Mingshu sent the person away, he chilled the ice jelly.
She had just made it and hadn't had time to chill it yet. Fortunately, Butler Niu came at the right time, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat it.
It is said that when Butler Niu returned to the mansion and told Zhou Mingshu what he had said, he also praised her from head to toe.
Mrs. Niu laughed happily when she heard this.
"I'm telling you that Mingshu is capable. Look how well she did it. We won't make any money from it. We'll give all the profits to Mingshu. They can't make much money from farming those few acres of land. The whole family depends on the few jobs they have to make a living."
Steward Niu thought to himself, Mingshu's family probably has more than a few acres of land, right? The garden at the entrance alone is huge.
Mrs. Niu paused and continued.
"I feel more and more that this girl is good. Daughter-in-law, what do you think about marrying Mingshu to our family as our daughter-in-law? Let me know when our master comes back, and I will ask him what he thinks."
Without waiting for her daughter-in-law Zhuang to respond, Mrs. Niu made the decision immediately.
Zhuang was choked by what he said and couldn't laugh anymore.
Are you really going to marry a country girl?
Judging from her age, she might be pointing to her second brother.
