Accidentally dressed as an empress

In the study, Yunxiu is in my arms.

Yunxiu said to Zhong Yi, "You've worked hard these past two days. How are the banquet preparations going?"

"The end of July is fine."

Yunxiu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set it for July 30th. Everything will be suitable on that day."

Zhong Yi suddenly became nervous and said, "That only leaves six days. I have to make arrangements."

Zhong Yi left Yun Xiu's arms.

Seeing how anxious he was, Yunxiu grabbed Zhong Yi's arm and said, "Remember to draw three embroidery patterns every month. I'll ask someone to find an embroiderer outside."

Zhong Yi frowned. "A handkerchief doesn't make much profit. It won't sell for much. Handkerchiefs aren't necessities, so the demand probably isn't that great."

"Well, necessities of life?" Yunxiu seemed to understand.

Zhong Yi suggested, "That Ren Li has great business talent. Your Highness could use her."

Yunxiu said indifferently, "Let's see."

Although Zhong Yi did not understand His Highness's intention, he knew that His Highness must have her reasons for doing so, so he did not ask any more questions.

Yunxiu didn't use Ren Li because the Chigua system showed her the entire process of Ren Li selling goods. She suspected that Ren Li was her colleague. This kind of situation where multiple taskers were assigned to the same world was not uncommon; she had encountered it several times. If anyone had ill intentions towards her, she would never show mercy.

When giving silver to Ren Li, Yun Xiu came into contact with her.

The system said quietly, "It has been confirmed that Ren Li is also a tasker, and she brought a low-level gold farming system. The system itself has extremely low energy, only enough to keep her soul from dissipating."

Yunxiu was puzzled: "Gold farming system?"

The gold farming system is a basic one, so it's certainly not as powerful as the all-knowing and all-powerful me.

The metal ball spun and jumped in place. [In short, the gold farming system is about earning the currency of this plane in exchange for survival time.]

A cold light flashed in Yunxiu's eyes. "I just want to ask one question. Is it a threat?"

[No, no, no... Colleagues should be friendly and supportive of each other. Bullying the weak is immoral.]

[Let her reopen it and stop blocking me from completing my mission.]

[Host, calm down and don't be impulsive. This is not a threat, not a threat, and it is very useful to the host... How about this, you give her ten taels of silver, and she must at least double it. If you fail, the number of days will be deducted.]

The words are divided into two parts.

Ren Li returned to the Ubisoft compound and watched his dog compete with the system's assigned task. Ten taels turned into a hundred taels? Are you crazy? Am I crazy? Or is this world crazy?

Ren Li discovered that this was a shitty system. Every time she made money, it would ask her to make more money.

When she traveled through time, the original owner was still a twelve-year-old little kid. She was playing in the mountains and fell off a cliff. While her parents were looking for her, they discovered a cinnabar mine in the mountain behind their home.

Later, Ren Li helped the Ren family become wealthy.

Six years had definitely earned her enough time to save her life. But the dog system wouldn't let her go; it needed energy to return to peak condition.

No matter how much money she has, the system requires her to double it.

Now she's learned her lesson: don't have too much money. As for survival time, it's just a matter of adding and subtracting, as long as she can survive.

But this time it's really too much, ten times the price. Why not go and rob it?

I have been extremely unlucky since I left Liyang City. Any little money I earned would be robbed by gangsters. I lose money and have my time deducted every day. It's never a good thing.

Then accept the mission.

How can I turn ten taels into one hundred taels?

Loan sharking?

No, if you lend money at high interest rates, you will be punished with ten strokes of the cane if you are caught.

Using small things to make a big difference?

In this era, gambling houses have not yet appeared. The only gambling activities now are cockfighting, dog racing, and chess. And they take a long time to watch and bet on who will win, which is really time-consuming.

Return to old business?

She had tinkered with ring tossing for a while at the Imperial College, making a small fortune, but then she met a man named Li who was always right, and she lost everything. This kind of randomness was too much; if she met a skilled one, she would lose.

Yes, there is another thing that is the same as the ring.

Why does ring tossing attract so many people to spend money? Because it doesn’t cost much to give it a try, and if one of the rings wins, it’s worth it.

What she sells is not circles, but anticipation and surprise.

The same is true for the lottery; it sells the dream and hope of becoming rich overnight. Winning the jackpot once is worth the lifetime reward.

Ancient people were also human beings, with the same desires and weaknesses.

Ren Li decided to hold a lottery and sell ancient version of scratch-off tickets.

But ten taels of silver seemed a bit low. Then I would go to Lirenfang, the second largest rouge shop in Lingyun City, and sell them the recipe for Yanlingfang rouge.

The money earned from selling the information was added to the ten taels of silver to form the grand prize.

You know, four taels of silver is enough for a common people's expenses for a year, and fifty taels of silver is definitely enough for a prize.

How to make scratch tickets?

Ren Li spent one or two taels of silver to buy a piece of linen. She cut the linen into strips of equal length and width and wrote two kinds of words on them.

Thank you for your patronage. I asked my system to help print two hundred of them.

There is only one first prize. Roll up the linen strip and tie it with a hemp rope.

Next, Ren Li found some bamboo strips and used linen to make a large square box. He cut a hole in the top side and this was the lottery box.

When everything was ready, Ren Li changed out of her maid's uniform and put on an ordinary linen robe. After sleeping for a night, the wrinkled robe became more in line with the working people.

July 25th, a holiday

Today is a day off, Yunxiu and Zhongyi made an appointment to go shopping in the East Market together.

When they got off the carriage at the intersection of East Street, they saw a stall surrounded by people, which was very eye-catching.

When I asked the system, I found out that Ren Li actually used the lottery trick to trick ancient people.

Lottery is indeed one of the oldest gambling businesses and its charm remains enduring.

"The lottery is open, the prize is one hundred coins each time."

"The first prize is fifty taels. Give it a try, and one hundred wen can turn into fifty taels."

Zhong Yi doesn't like to join in the fun and wants to stay away from the crowd when he sees it, but Yunxiu wants to go.

Yunxiu directly took Zhong Yi's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Zhong Yi looked at her profile, and before he could recover, he was pulled to Ren Li's stall.

A tall, thin, middle-aged woman was seen yelling in front of the stall, "You liar! I spent two taels of silver and drew twenty prizes, but there's no prize at all!"

"Sir, just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't have a chance. I'm a small business and I don't cheat anyone."

"How do you prove it?"

"Then how do you prove that there is no such thing?"

"Are you feeling guilty?"

"I feel guilty?" Ren Li slammed the receipt on the stall and said, "Buy all 500 in this box, and I'll hand you the prize. You can take your time opening it here. If you find the note for the first prize, you can clear my name."

"There are 500 in this box. I'd be a fool to buy that."

"Yes, you are a fool."

The man was about to start a fight when he heard this, but was stopped by someone else. Li Xian and the inspector passed by and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Ren Li was also stunned for a moment. Why is it you, Li?

Ren Li reacted very quickly and cried out, "Sir, you have to act for the people."
