Liu Qiaoer took Xiaoliu and Hong Yuan to live in the villa given to her by Master Ziyu.
There were not many people in the villa, including two errand boys, two cooks, two maids and a housekeeper.
As soon as they saw Liu Qiaoer and Xiao Liu, they welcomed them in respectfully.
The little sixth grader has been unwilling to leave Liu Qiaoer since he followed her.
It has almost become Liu Qiaoer's pendant.
Xiaoliu is well-behaved and a little autistic. Liu Qiaoer has more patience and accompanies him, letting him read, play games, and do boxing. Her schedule is full.
As for Mrs. Lu, she really didn't follow.
Mrs. Lu set off for the capital, and when the case of County Magistrate Lu was reopened in the capital, Qian Lin, the prefect of Yuzhou, was arrested.
Two months later, it was heard that the eldest son of the Lu family had found all the grain money that the court had allocated to Fengxin County for disaster relief. In addition to the Su family, Qian Lin, and the Minister of Personnel in the capital, the three of them not only embezzled the grain money, but also framed County Magistrate Lu.
After the eldest son of the Lu family found the evidence, he filed a complaint directly to the emperor under the leadership of Tutor Lu.
Magistrate Lu was rehabilitated, and because he was loved by the people and was an upright person during his tenure, the emperor gave him the position of Tongpan of the capital.
This is a fifth-rank official position in the capital, in charge of miscellaneous taxes and levies.
From a small county magistrate to the magistrate of the capital was already considered a promotion.
County Magistrate Lu and his family were temporarily staying in the side courtyard of the Lu family, the Prince's tutor.
The property of the Su family involved was confiscated and the entire family was beheaded. The entire family of the Yuzhou prefect was exiled, and the entire family of the Minister of Personnel was confiscated and also exiled.
The case was finally concluded. It was not a big case, but the story of the eldest son of the Lu family enduring humiliation and seeking justice for his father was widely publicized.
But Liu Qiaoer knew that the price Lu Yunzheng paid was not small. All the property she and Lu Yunzheng had in Fengxin County was given to the Lu family in the capital, which made a lot of money that year.
On this day, Doctor Zhu finally gathered all the people and planned to perform a blood transfusion on Young Master Zi Yu. Liu Qiaoer was collecting their blood and needed to find the same blood.
Wang Boyan came.
Wang Boyan, the magistrate of Yuzhou City, was directly promoted to the position of Yuzhou Prefect because of his meritorious service in reporting evidence, and became the chief official of Yuzhou City.
He came to see Liu Qiaoer, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Miss Liu, I'm fine."
Seeing his flattering look, Liu Qiaoer smiled and said, "Master Wang has been promoted, and Qiaoer hasn't had time to congratulate you yet. What's the matter, Master Wang?"
Wang Boyan rubbed his hands, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together by his smile.
"Miss Qiao'er, the Lu family's matter is over. Didn't you say that if Wang helps, it will not be in vain?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "Well, I did say that, but the Su family's assets were taken away by the local government, and I can't do anything about it."
Wang Boyan was not interested in the money. He really wanted to know how Liu Qiaoer had emptied the Su family's warehouse. So much gold, silver and jewelry disappeared without a trace, as if out of thin air.
However, Liu Qiaoer would not tell Wang Boyan the truth.
However, she would never let Wang Boyan suffer any loss.
"As the governor of a state, people's livelihood is of course my top priority. I have a recipe for making a fortune. If Lord Wang can work with me on it, how about I take four percent of the profits and Lord Wang six percent?"
When Wang Boyan heard this, he no longer cared about the truth and his eyes lit up.
"Your rouge shop is now doing very well, and your other businesses will surely be even better. As long as you do business in Yuzhou, don't worry, I will make you a lot of money."
It is true that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. Liu Qiaoer has decided to make Wang Boyan her business partner.
At least he no longer had to share the money he earned with the Lu family in Beijing.
As for the 60% that went to Wang Boyan, that was what he deserved, because Liu Qiaoer only gave advice and didn't contribute any manpower.
Hearing Wang Boyan say this, Liu Qiaoer waved at him and said, "Come with me."
Liu Qiaoer asked someone to bring out a clay pot. She took out a bowl and scooped out some syrup and fruit pulp from it.
Before Wang Boyan asked what it was, Xiaoliu stared at the small bowl with his mouth watering.
Liu Qiaoer had no choice but to hand the bowl to Xiaoliu: "You can only eat one bowl a day. Eating too much is bad for your teeth. I'll give it to you."
Xiaoliu took it and sat aside obediently to eat.
Liu Qiaoer served another bowl to Wang Boyan: "This is the fruit soup I made myself. It contains peaches and rock sugar. Using a large jar is convenient for transportation. If you want to sell it, it is best to use a small jar. A small jar of two kilograms can be sold for one tael of silver, and you can make six hundred coins."
Wang Boyan took a bite and found it refreshing and delicious, not too sweet. He was very curious.
"Spring peaches? They're almost gone now. I wonder how long these can be stored?"
Liu Qiaoer held up a finger: "At least one year."
Wang Boyan had seen the world after all. "Oh, I see. It's pickled with sugar, similar to what people in the north pickle with salt. It can be preserved for a long time, but not too long."
Liu Qiaoer said that Wang Boyan was smart. Not only was he good at judging cases, he was also quite good at doing business.
"This is the ratio of peaches pickled in syrup. I have planted ten acres of peach trees out of the one hundred acres of fertile land of the Lu family in Fengxin County. If you want to buy peaches, you can order from them. In addition to peaches, we can also make pears, rock sugar pears, and citrus. All can be made."
Pears are available in Yuzhou City, but as for tangerines, you need to go to the south to buy them. And it’s almost the season for tangerines to ripen, so everything is just right.
Wang Boyan knew that the business that Liu Qiaoer gave him was indeed a good one, and he was ecstatic.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away and start making it right away. You don't have to worry about anything, young lady. If you have any questions, I'll come to you later."
Now that Liu Qiaoer is Young Master Ziyu's guest of honor, Wang Boyan has to be more respectful.
Miss Hong Yuan was a little surprised: "Miss, you gave him such a profitable business?"
Liu Qiao'er didn't care at all: "I also want 40% of the bonus, this is called making things convenient for others and making things convenient for yourself. There are too many businesses in the world, and I can't finish them all by myself, so why not get some helpers?"
This is equivalent to a modern investment company. I invest the money, you come up with the project, and we share the dividends if we make money.
Doctor Zhu and his men had been waiting in the front yard. He brought so many people, but in the end only three were left. However, that was enough.
Liu Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw those who were not selected.
He smiled speechlessly: "I'm just drawing some of your blood, not taking your lives, why are you so worried?"
Even Doctor Zhu was shocked: "Ah, won't drawing blood cost your life? Your body is given by your parents, not to mention the most precious thing in your body is blood."
Liu Qiaoer patted Doctor Zhu on the shoulder and said, "You should read more medical books from earlier times, and don't just stick to the current medical books. The current medical books have too many rules and regulations, which is not good. The end of medicine is science, and the end of science is metaphysics. If that doesn't work, you can read the Book of Changes."
Doctor Zhu laughed awkwardly: "Last time, the young lady lent me the Shennong Materia Medica, but I didn't finish reading it. I'm old and my memory is not good. The young lady is smart."
Liu Qiaoer smiled and said, "There are only three of them. Find them a place to stay. Treat them well these few days. They can't drink alcohol or take medicine. Come to me every day to draw blood. After seven days, you can treat Master Ziyu."
