Jun 30, 2023

Gu Jiusi went to work today, Mu Nan kept telling him some trivial matters, and even wanted to go to the government office with him. Gu Jiusi explained that this is the first step for him to settle in Youzhou, and he must walk well by himself. Everyone thought that what Gu Jiusi gave was gold, but later they found out that it was only forty or fifty coppers. However, because Gu Jiusi was not yet familiar with the work of the yamen servants, and all kinds of unintentional actions, Wang Cong and his team suffered a lot. Liu Yuru took Yinhong to the street to check the sales of the rouge shop in Youzhou City. She didn't pay much attention to the rouge gouache sold on the street. She entered a rouge shop and learned that the owner of the rouge shop was Zhao San in the west of the city. Lord.

Then Liu Yuru went to inquire about the purchase price, but unexpectedly, these raw materials alone required a purchase price of one hundred taels of silver. She asked whether the purchase price of Mr. Zhao in the west of the city was the same price. The boss thought she was comparing it with Mr. Zhao, who had an annual turnover of at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels. When Wang Cong returned to the government office, he refused to take Gu Jiusi with him no matter what he said, and neither did the others, so Huang Longfei had to bring it himself. Liu Yuru learned some tea, but her skills were not good enough, but Gu Jiusi praised the tea she ordered. She drew the shape of the makeup box for Gu Jiusi to have a look. Gu Jiusi thinks that the design of the makeup box is good, but the pattern on the makeup box is too complicated and does not look simple. Liu Yuru took advantage of the situation and asked him to help her revise, and at the same time, she would draw a few more for her, and pay him wages when she made money.

Aunt Yue was dissatisfied with Liu Yuru spending all her money to buy bottles and jars, but Liu Yuru had her own plans. One day, there was a conflict between two common people. The fledgling Gu Jiusi didn't know how to solve it, so he took out his own copper coin, but was stopped by Huang Longfei. Afterwards, Huang Longfei successfully resolved the conflict between the two with a way to get the best of both worlds. After this incident, Huang Longfei's impression of Gu Jiusi slightly changed, but Mu Nan accidentally ruined it, so Huang Longfei felt that Gu Jiusi was a son of a rich family after all, and he had to bring a servant to work. After going to work, Gu Jiusi was arranged to clean up before going home. Liu Yuru gave some ideas to the boss who sells flowers, and said that he could bring someone to help him cut the flower branches, as long as the boss gave her the cut flower branches.

Mu Nan felt that Huang Longfei looked down on outsiders from the bottom of his heart, and suggested that Gu Jiusi ask Zhou Ye to help teach Huang Longfei. Gu Jiusi was not so narrow-minded, this Huang Longfei was a little irritable, but he was a rare good official. Liu Yuru brought Aunt Yue and two younger sisters to help prune the flower branches, which made Aunt Yue dissatisfied, so Liu Yuru settled the accounts with her plainly, saying frankly that if she was dissatisfied, she could leave the Gu family to make a living elsewhere, and Aunt Yue gave in. Saving manpower and material money, Liu Yuru began to make the rouge recipes left by the accountant. It's just that the initial cost is too high. Liu Yuru was worried that she wouldn't be able to make back the initial cost when selling it. Jiang Rou comforted her, saying that the manpower was very good, and the rest depends on God's will.

Now Yongzhou and Liangzhou are also in chaos, but Fan Xuan has no idea of supporting the army to support himself. Relying on the wealth donated by the Gu family to strengthen the city defense, it can still protect Youzhou for a short time. Zhang Yue'er is a snobbish eye, and when she learned that Liu Yuru promised to pay them a dividend at the end of the year, she worked extra hard. When the makeup box arrived, Yin Hong thought it was very delicate. Liu Yuru asked Gu Jiusi for advice, and finally gave Rouge a beautiful name. In order to publicize, but also to thank, Liu Yuru gave some rouge to Zhou Ye and asked him to pass it on to his mother. So far, the rouge shop has finally officially opened, waiting for customers to come to the door.
