Chapter 81: Failed the Exam

Su Wan had guessed it a long time ago and pushed his hand back.

“You did the right thing.”

It can be considered as avenging the original owner.

Qi Guang was originally very nervous, afraid that Su Wan would blame him. When he heard her say this, he was immediately happy and scolded: “Su Jihong is nothing. He betrayed the young lady at the beginning. If it wasn’t for the old general to stop us, we would have chopped off his head a long time ago.

If he treats you well, we can also let go of the past. Damn it, he gave the marriage that the young lady had set for you to his illegitimate daughter!”

“Even if it involves the royal family and he can’t make decisions about some things, as long as he has the heart to protect you and arrange a good marriage again, I won’t be so angry!”

He didn’t know what he thought of, and his face darkened.

“Uncle Qi, I don’t like the prince, and I don’t like the life in the deep palace. If I live in it for a lifetime, I will suffocate.”

Su Wan likes freedom and doesn’t want to share a man with other women. She said solemnly: “I am now the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. There is no need to mention the past.”

“Don’t mention it, don’t mention it. You are doing well, and we are all happy.” Qi Guang has been secretly stalking for two days. Gu Huaizhi cares about Su Wan, and Su Wan also takes good care of Gu Huaizhi. The couple’s life is very harmonious, and he feels a little relieved.

“Do you live in Qingfeng Mountain?” Su Wan signaled Qi Guang to sit in the chair.

Qi Guang sat down and said in detail: “We live in the mountain nest of Qingfeng Mountain. Everyone grows a little grain. When we have nothing to do, we also practice and do not waste our skills.”

He rubbed his knee unnaturally, “We don’t have a master, so we don’t recruit new soldiers. Now that you are willing to take us, we will start recruiting soldiers from tomorrow.”

“Good.” Su Wan tapped the table with her fingers and suddenly asked, “What do you think of Zhao Wei?”

“A young hero, he is a fierce general.” Qi Guang gave a high evaluation.

“Have you ever thought about joining him?”

Qi Guang fell into silence, and after a long time, he said, “Master, the Qi family army will always be the Qi family army and will not serve two masters.”

Su Wan was silent. The old general Qi let them recognize the original owner as the master. Even if the original owner doesn’t want them, in their hearts, Su Wan is their master, and they will never recognize others as their master.

Her eyes were misty, she took out one thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Qi Guang: “You improve everyone’s life, and the rest is used to recruit new soldiers. If it’s not enough, ask me for it.”

Qi Guang held the silver note, a light piece of paper, but it was as heavy as a thousand jin^[1]1 Jin (Chinese unit of weight) is equal to 0.5 kilograms.

His blood surged, his heart was surging, and he vowed to strive to be strong and be her strong and hard shield!

After Qi Guang left, Su Wan sat quietly in the chair, thinking about how to make more money to support the Qi family army.

Su Wan couldn’t calm down, so she put aside the matter of making pills to avoid mistakes.

Calculating the time, the shopkeeper Jiang of Yan Zhi Pavilion should have a result for selling skincare cream at Cui Yan Ge Pavilion.

Su Wan came out of the backyard and saw Su Mixue still kneeling on the ground.

She raised her eyebrows, it seemed that Su Mixue was determined to use her kneeling to ask the divine doctor to treat Su Jihong. But she forgot her identity!

The dignified princess knelt to a commoner, which was a slap in the face of the royal family.

Not only the prince, but also the members of the royal family will be displeased.

No matter how much Su Jihong and Qinglan put into her, they are after all petty, can’t get on the stage, and have no courage.

If ordinary people defy her orders with the identity of the princess, they would have casually deducted a crime and ordered the person to be tied up.

Su Wan walked past Su Mixue and went to Yan Zhi Pavilion next door.

Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly closed the door and said in a low voice, “My goodness, is the one in the medical hall really the princess? You dare to let her kneel, aren’t you afraid she will separate your head from your neck?”

“The princess wanted to kneel herself, where would I dare to stop her?”

Just keep bragging.

Shopkeeper Jiang didn’t dare to offend his god of wealth, and mysteriously put a bag of money in Su Wan’s hand.

“I sent ten boxes of Red Jade Cream to the girls of Cui Yan Ge Pavilion according to what you said. They have never heard of this kind of cream. It was given to them for free, and they all dared not want it. I had no choice but to live in Cui Yan Ge Pavilion and apply it to my face for a few days. My skin has become several levels whiter and moisturized, and they only rushed to want it.”

“I told them at the time that they should sell it to customers. They all hesitated. It was only when they heard that there was a bonus that they happily agreed and praised our Red Jade Cream.”

“It’s only been a day, and the old bustard of Cui Yan Ge Pavilion has placed an order first, wanting to buy fifty boxes of Red Jade Cream.”

Su Wan weighed the money, there should be more than ten taels.

Shopkeeper Jiang rubbed his hands and chuckled, “This Red Jade Cream works well, and there are several precious medicinal materials in it. I took the liberty to quote.”

He raised five fingers: “Five hundred wen per bottle, ordinary people won’t spend this money to buy cream to apply on their faces. It’s better to buy a pound of meat to feast on.

Rich people also don’t care about these few hundred wen, let’s invite people to make the box of Red Jade Cream a bit more exquisite, so that people feel that one or two taels of silver is worth it.”

Su Wan thought the same way at the beginning, so the Red Jade Cream she developed was very expensive, and she wanted to make a quick money.

“First make Red Jade Cream, and when the workshop is set up, I will make some affordable skincare cream.”

Su Wan felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavy.

“Is there only fifty boxes in total?”

Shopkeeper Jiang was about to nod.

“Shopkeeper Jiang, the Red Jade Cream you gave to our sisters, we didn’t use it, all pushed to the guests.”

Chen Yueniang was born with a beautiful face. She wore a simple red skirt on her body, which was dazzlingly bright. Her graceful and slender figure, swaying with each step, walked in with a myriad of charms.

The watery light in Chen Yueniang’s eyes, as she looked around, revealed a flirtatious demeanor, like a hook that is captivating.

She looked at Su Wan and said with a smile: “Is this young lady the Mrs. Gu that Shopkeeper Jiang mentioned?”

Shopkeeper Jiang gave Chen Yueniang a wink, fearing that she would offend Su Wan: “Mrs. Gu is the big owner of Yan Zhi Pavilion.”

Chen Yueniang chuckled: “Mrs. Gu your craftsmanship is remarkable. The Red Jade Cream was given to the guests, and coincidentally, there was a boss who does powder business. Today is only the third day, and he has already come to talk about business.”

“Craftsmanship only accounts for half, and the other half must be sold by you, otherwise even good things will be wasted.”

Su Wan’s words made Chen Yueniang feel very comfortable, especially since there was no disgust in Su Wan’s eyes, and she didn’t act superior in front of her. She found Su Wan more pleasing to the eye, and suppressed her original idea of raising the price, “This boss is from Jiangnan, he has business everywhere. He asked for five thousand boxes of Red Jade Cream as soon as he opened his mouth, and he wanted four hundred and fifty wen per box, will you sell it?”

“Sell.” Su Wan instructed Chen Yueniang: “If it’s for individual customers, charge five hundred wen per box. If they want a lot and plan to sell it themselves, reduce the price by fifty wen per box, give them a little profit, otherwise they will definitely raise the price to sell, and the price will be messed up.”

“Mrs. Gu is a straightforward person.” Chen Yueniang threw a flirtatious glance at Su Wan, and gathered her long hair: “According to what was said before, we sisters sell Red Jade Cream, and get a 10% profit.”

“Of course.” Su Wan stared at Chen Yueniang’s face, which was heavily made up. She gently touched it with her finger, and her fingertip was coated with a layer of white powder. She sniffed it and found it contained lead powder, “Next time, I will develop some natural powders and give them to you as a thank you gift.”

Chen Yueniang poked Su Wan’s chest with her finger, and said coquettishly: “You little girl, are you really giving a thank you gift, or let us be your signboard?”

Su Wan touched her chest and begged, “This sister really gave it to you.”

She paused and said, “If you want to help me sell it, then I have to thank you sisters here first.”

Chen Yueniang chuckled, “You are the best at calculating.”

That settled it..

Chen Yueniang gave Su Wan fifty taels of silver, the deposit for that big order.

Su Wan wrote a contract for Chen Yueniang and sent her out the door.

She looked at the sky and suddenly remembered that Gu Jingyun’s exam was almost over!

Su Wan rushed to the Xihe Academy without stopping, and saw Gu Jingyun sitting on the ground in despair. Her heart “thumped”, did he fail the exam?
