After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

Yun Zhiqian kept his head lowered the whole time, not even daring to look at Yingzi.

Even so, Zhao Yingzi's ears suddenly blushed. She secretly glanced at Yun Zhiqian and sighed in her heart: Why does he look like the elegant young man in the opera, and he even bowed to her.

It turns out that scholars are different.

But what could she do?

She didn't know how to sit or stand, and she didn't even know how to salute.

This really stumped Yingzi, and she started sweating as she got anxious.

According to the play, she should have responded with a graceful gesture.

She tried hard to recall the southern opera she had seen on the stage in Shiqiao Town before, and imitated the posture of the rich lady in the opera, and awkwardly returned the greeting: "Hello, Mr. Yun."

Her voice was sweet and soft, and it went straight into Yun Zhiqian's heart. Only then did he muster up the courage to look up at Zhao Yingzi.

Seeing that Zhao Yingzi was good-looking, Yun Zhiqian's heart instantly beat like a deer and his face turned red involuntarily. He lowered his head slightly and a smile spread across his face.

"Miss Zhao, please take a seat."

Yun Fu, who was leaning on the windowsill and peeking out the window, couldn't help but lament: It's over, big brother has set his eyes on Zhao Yingzi.

My eldest brother is trapped in the academy all day long, and there are no female students in the academy. I'm afraid he would find the old sow beautiful if he saw her.

Could it be that in her previous life, she was stimulated by her elder brother and thus remained unmarried?

She has to keep a close eye on her brother to prevent him from getting hurt again.

At this time, Zhao Yingzi also raised her head and looked at Yun Zhiqian. She couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart. He looked even more handsome than when she had seen him before.

Sure enough, her mother did not lie to her.

Before, she was at the intersection near the Yun family and saw Yun Zhiqian coming from afar. The young man was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, completely different from ordinary farm boys. She fell in love with him at first sight.

But, I only saw him from afar at that time. Today, when I see him up close, he looks even better.

"Mr. Yun, I heard that you are studying at the Shigu Academy in this town?"

Seeing Yun Zhiqian lowering his head and keeping silent, as if in deep thought, Zhao Yingzi felt panic-stricken, fearing that he looked down on her.

"Miss Zhao may not know that I have dropped out of school."

Zhao Yingzi's heart tightened, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She asked anxiously, "Why?"

"Back then, my mother became ill in order to earn money for our tuition. At that time, my father alone could not support the five of us in school. As the eldest son in the family, I should share the burden with my parents."

Yun Zhiqian downplayed the embarrassment he faced at the time.

Zhao Yingzi was very respectful of Yun Zhiqian because he was so responsible.

"Then, will you return to the academy to study in the future?"

"It depends on the situation. The future is unpredictable. Maybe I can go back to school."

How could Yun Zhiqian not hear the worry in Zhao Yingzi's words? He really couldn't bear to let her worry about him like a mother, so he lied.

Since you have decided to drop out of school and go into business, you should stick to it, concentrate on learning how to do business, and stop thinking about studying.

Hearing Yun Zhiqian's words, Zhao Yingzi seemed relieved and said, "Mr. Yun is such a good student, he should go back to the academy to study."

"Ah."

When Zhao Yingzi saw Yun Zhiqian agreed, a smile appeared on her face again.

Yun Fu saw all of this from outside the window. She always felt that Zhao Yingzi was not as innocent as she seemed. She was afraid that her mother and elder brother had made a mistake this time.

After Matchmaker Li and Zhao Yingzi left, Liu asked, "Qian'er, what do you think?"

Yun Zhiqian's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said, "I'll listen to my mother."

Liu saw her son's reaction clearly and was extremely happy.

Qian'er agreed to this marriage.

"Then I will go back to Matchmaker Li."

Yun Fu was secretly worried about his elder brother.

I didn't expect that my eldest brother, who was always smart and wise, would actually be so...

After finishing their personal affairs, the two returned to the shop in town and started working again.

Last night, these children went to the street to sell popsicles. The one who sold the most sold 35 pieces, including 11 milk puddings and the other 24 popsicles. He received a total of 23 cents in compensation, which was something they had never expected.

Although they only sold a few pieces, they were very satisfied.

You have to know that they don’t have to spend money on food and accommodation, so they can save all the money they earn.

Those children who are not yet of age secretly blame their parents for not letting them be born a few years earlier so that they could make money together.

Yun Zhiqian gave an extra five cents as a reward to the top three children who sold the most items, which made them more motivated.

Some people recognized that these children were originally little beggars. Now someone was willing to take them in and give them food to eat. They secretly admired the owner of Yunji.

I also heard that they would get paid if they sold the popsicles, so I thought about helping these kids, since they also wanted to taste the popsicles anyway.

But once I tasted it, I fell in love with this popsicle. It is icy and cool, and it really helps to relieve the heat.

Thanks to these kids doing the promotion on the streets, there seemed to be more people coming to the shop today than yesterday.

Fortunately, they had prepared enough molds and materials. After closing the shop yesterday, they prepared more ice, popsicles, ice bowls, ice drinks, etc.

Only Yun Zhiqian, Yun Fu, and the siblings Gu Che and Gu Yue can enter the ice room. No one else is allowed to enter, and they are not allowed to know the secrets in the ice room.

When the shop was too busy, Yun Zhiqian selected five of the smarter children to help in the shop.

The ice blocks prepared the day before and piled up in the ice room were sent out one by one.

Yun Fu said, "Brother, I think it would be best if we could get support from the local government before we open the shop. Our ice is not valuable, so they can afford it even if we give it to them for free."

With Yun Fu's reminder, Yun Zhiqian immediately understood the reason.

With the support of local governments, even if some people are jealous and want to cause trouble, they have to think twice.

"I understand sister, I'll do it right away, can you do it in the shop?"

He was a little worried. After all, the people in the shop were all children. Although his sister was smart, she was still a child after all.

"Brother, you can go without worry. The shop hasn't opened yet, so we can still handle it, but I'm afraid it won't work for a long time.

When you come back, please post a job opening notice outside the shop. I'm afraid we need to hire a manager for our shop.

Besides, we have to hire a cook. It is not a good idea for us to eat out these past two days. Not to mention the high cost, they may not be able to survive without soup for a long time."

"it is good."

Yun Zhiqian was convinced every time his sister spoke.

When Yun Zhiqian first started his business, he was always like a headless fly, running around in all directions. If it weren't for his sister reminding him, he would have done things in a disorganized manner. He was just busy but didn't achieve anything.

Fortunately, my sister is here.

Thinking back to when his sister first came home, he even considered throwing her out of the house. Thinking about it now, he felt worried for himself.

Yun Zhiqian rented a carriage and loaded it with thirty blocks of ice. He planned to send ten of them to the government office, ten to the Shigu Academy, and the rest to the residence of the prefect Zhao.

Upon hearing that Governor Zhao's mother was in poor health, he returned to Shiqiao Town to recuperate, and Governor Zhao's family also followed.

As my sister said, if I could establish a relationship with the prefect's mansion, even if it was just to make myself familiar to them, it would be good.

Although if you want to buy these thirty blocks of ice, it might cost more than one or two taels of silver, fortunately, the cost of making the ice is almost nothing.

But if this ice can provide them with protection, it will be worth it.

The first place Yun Zhiqian went to was the county government office.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw two officers standing like door gods, with big swords hanging from their waists. Even the scabbards were flashing coldly in the sunlight. One of the officers stepped forward and shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"
