Except for lychees which were only presented to the emperor and the best durian which was reserved for the emperor, all other goods offered to the wealthy families and citizens of Beijing were of the highest quality. At most, they were divided to a certain extent based on purchasing power, but the shop also had top-quality goods.

Qiao Yunni is Qiao Jianer's mother, so Qiao Jianer is naturally biased. There are more good goods in the shop under her mother's name. The Qiao family also understands this and no one has any objection.

Customers go to Qiao Yunni's store to buy things and make their choices based on price and quality, and no customer has ever said anything bad.

Someone came three times and was not satisfied.

Qiao Jianer's first reaction was that someone might be deliberately looking for trouble.

She said, "I'll go meet him tomorrow."

Looking back, I saw Mu Xinghe coming back with a pile of documents. As night fell, there was a hurried look on his face, as if he had been working under the stars.

Although there are many affairs in the government office, unless there are special circumstances, you can leave when your shift is over and continue working the next day.

Mu Xinghe usually comes back late, but now not only does he come back late, he even brings some business home to deal with.

"Brother-in-law, you're getting busier and busier." Qiao Lianer said.

Mu Xinghe stopped in front of her, his face serious and solemn. "Now, I can't even see the emperor. I can't help the Qiao family with anything they need. The burden mainly falls on Sister Jian'er. I'm really uneasy."

"The Qiao family worked so hard to raise me up, but I just faded into mediocrity and became an insignificant member of the officialdom."

"So I decided to perform well. Although I am only a sixth-rank official now, I hope that through my efforts, I can contribute to the Qiao family as soon as possible."

Seeing him have this idea, Qiao Jian'er felt relieved. She said, "Brother-in-law, the Ministry of Personnel values ​​you, but you are still too young. It is just a matter of time. It has nothing to do with performance or ability. So, take it step by step. I am confident that I can handle any risk in this family. When you become stronger, you will be a great help, and I will be more comfortable with it."

"Since it's a matter of time, even if it's a little bit earlier, it's good." Mu Xinghe said firmly, carrying the scroll into the study.

Not only that, as generals, the men of the Qiao family trained diligently in their fiefdoms every day. They never slacked off. When they returned home, they diligently practiced calligraphy and read books. At present, they can understand basic military strategy volumes.

Everyone works very hard. As an ordinary person, everyone is trying to break through their own limits in life.

Qiao Jianer smiled with relief. Such a home is full of vitality and gives people infinite hope.

After lunch the next day, she went to Qiao Yunni's shop.

After a while, the nanny came. She had a fair complexion and a plump body, looking very wealthy. She also had a sense of majesty as if she was giving orders. She must be from the side of some noble person.

She was accompanied by two maids, who asked as soon as they entered the room, "Is the good stuff ready?"

Seeing Qiao Jianer sitting in the shopkeeper's position, the nanny's face became more alert. This girl is an upper-class person in the capital, everyone knows her.

Especially last time, the eldest prince suffered a loss in front of her, and it became known to everyone. Everyone knew that this girl was not simple and not easy to deal with.

Hearing that she had returned to her hometown, that person asked her to come to the cargo building to cause trouble, hoping to deal with Qiao Yunni before the girl came back. He never expected that she would return so soon.

You know, the journey from the capital to Yuezhou is half a month. Even if a thousand-mile horse runs day and night, it will take seven or eight days, including rest and feeding along the way.

Qiao Jianer had just returned to Yuezhou when he immediately rushed back without stopping. This was a bit too reckless.

The nanny's face looked unhappy, and Qiao Jian'er had already spoken: "Madam, may I know your name?"

"My surname is Zhou."

"Madam Zhou." Qiao Jian'er smiled and said, "I heard that you came here three times before and weren't very satisfied with my goods."

When Nanny Zhou heard this, she straightened her back and acted as if she was going to make things difficult for them.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but the goods from the young lady's family can't meet the requirements of my master." Nanny Zhou pretended not to know Qiao Jian'er's identity. Otherwise, she would have to face Qiao Jian'er as an inferior, and it would be inconvenient for her to speak.

"Oh, it's such a simple thing, why don't you go to another shop to buy it?" Qiao Jianer said quietly.

Nanny Zhou was choked by the question. Qiao Yunni was not afraid, but this girl, just sitting there leisurely and saying a few casual words, made people feel suffocated.

She took a deep breath and said, "Those nuts and candied fruits are only available in a few shops, and yours is the best quality, so I came to buy them from you."

"Since our products are of the best quality, why are you still dissatisfied again and again?"

Nanny Zhou had anticipated this question and said, "Although the quality is better than others, it still doesn't meet my master's requirements. Young lady, instead of wasting your time on making things difficult for me, you should think about how to produce the best quality goods. My master is of high status and you can't afford to offend her."

Qiao Jianer stood up and walked to the shelf: "I wonder what categories you would like to buy."

"Nuts, candied fruits, durian, coconut, ringo, and grapes," said Madam Zhou. "They all have to be top-quality. The bigger the better. That way, the master will be happy."

Qiao Lianer walked around the shelves on one side. There were several large durians weighing more than 30 kilograms, a box of lychees, and other good goods were also ready.

Then she gestured towards this side, her expression indifferent.

When Nanny Zhou came over and took a look, her eyes lit up. They were all high-quality products that were presented as tributes. The imperial concubine would definitely like them. And the lychees were also very popular with the imperial concubine. However, no matter how much the emperor doted on her, he would only give her a few a day at most, which was not enough for her to eat to her satisfaction.

Moreover, Qiao Lian'er is back. This girl is very cunning and the original plan does not work. Nanny Zhou plans to give up and take advantage of the situation to bring some good things into the palace. This matter will be left here for the time being and will be discussed later.

"I want them all, load them all into the carriage, including this box of lychees." Nanny Zhou couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she thought that Concubine Han would definitely reward her well.

These lychees are very big, with red skin and new roots. You can tell at a glance that they are high-quality goods just picked from the tree, and are of better quality than the ones the emperor gave to the concubine.

"I'm not selling lychees." Qiao Jian'er said, "The guy ordered the wrong item. This box of lychees has another use."

When Madam Zhou heard this, she became furious and sneered, "Young lady, this is for your family to eat. It's such a big box, I don't think your family can finish it. Why don't you sell it to my master? It doesn't matter if you ask for a higher price."
