Ning Yuxuan was delighted, his eyes glowed, he nodded in satisfaction, and continued to draw with his head down.
Ji Man was slightly absent-minded, but quickly turned around and continued to teach him how to speak properly.
She has already planned in detail, and she can give five classes a day, the first history class, and by the way, she can move the history books to study this dynasty by herself. The second section is poetry and songs. Anyway, she is also a person who has studied poetry. Section 3 Rhythm etiquette, this...you are still young, you can get away with it by teaching some nursery rhymes. There are also two sections on painting and the Four Books and Five Classics.
The baby has to be grasped from an early age, and Ji Man doesn't intend to force him to become a talent, but he wants to teach him everything he knows. I don't ask him to make any great achievements in the future, but I ask him to protect himself.
There is no teacher in the world who is more dedicated than his own mother. After two or three days of teaching, Ji Man received unanimous praise from the housekeeper and his wife. Mo Yuhou also felt like it and rewarded her with some things.
Ji Man happily opened the gift box, but found a painting. Looking at it, it was drawn by him himself, the scene she taught in the garden that day, but she was dressed as a man, and he automatically made up the appearance of a woman in his brain, and painted it carelessly.
I have never seen such a rewarding person, they are not familiar with each other now, why don't you just give her some gold, silver and jewelry? The corner of Ji Man's mouth twitched for a long time, then he locked the box and stuffed it into the deepest part of the bed.
Since he became the wife of the Marquis of Moyu, Ji Man had no time to take care of the newly opened rice shop. He spent money to hire a shrewd shopkeeper named Yan Buba. Pave him.
It's just that she doesn't open the rice shop to earn pocket money. The rice in Changjun is of good quality, but because of the bad terrain, it can't be exported. When she came back to the capital, she wanted to test the waters. If the market was good, she would open up the road to sell rice in Changjun. At most, it would cost a little freight, or she might as well repair the road once and for all.
After the relationship between the top and bottom was established, a lot of money was stuffed in, and Ji's Rice Shop was successfully on the track of operation. In line with the tenet of high-quality rice without deceit, it began to sell well in the capital.
I teach well during the day, and then I go out of the house to manage after class. I am so busy that I don’t even have time to eat. It’s almost the same as when I was running sales in Hyundai. Ji Man thought it was nothing, but the whole person had lost weight, and even the human skin mask seemed a bit big, and he specially repaired it so that he could put it on properly.
"What are you busy with?" Ning Yuxuan finally couldn't hold back, and stood at the back door of Hou's Mansion, stopping Ji Man who was about to leave the mansion in a hurry.
When Ji Man saw him, he touched his face, and then said solemnly: "Go out to do something."
"What are you doing?" Ning Yuxuan frowned: "You spend most of your time teaching the prince every day, do you still have time to do other things?"
"Master Hou also said that most of the day, and the rest of the day naturally belongs to my private time." Ji Man said with a smile: "The wife of the son is not considered an official position, so I can have other things of my own, right?"
Mo Yuhou pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and was about to ask again, but a gentle voice came from behind: "Master Hou."
Turning sideways, Ning Yuxuan looked at Wen Wan, and responded lightly: "What's wrong?"
Ji Man took the opportunity to bow to Wen Wan, and immediately rushed out of the mansion.
Originally, following Liu Rufeng, he also learned a lot of ways to deal with the ancients. Today, Ji Man even invited the head of the household department to have a meal, so as to open up relationships. Anyone who does business knows that if the business wants to grow big, it must take everything from top to bottom, and flattery is simply an indispensable homework.
For example, the head of Duzhi is the smallest official in the household department, but she has a lot of airs. If it weren't for the fact that she is the wife of Moyuhou's mansion, she would not have accepted the appointment of the grain bank to come to dinner.
As the leader of the alliance, shopkeeper Liu of Liu Jiliang Co., Ltd. naturally helped to set up a bridge and introduced Ji Man to the principal.
On the eighth floor of Luoyan Pagoda, it is full of books and very elegant, but there is a large mahogany table in the middle, not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, and there are many "talented women" sitting beside it.
As I said before, Luoyan Pagoda is a place where literati and scholars gather, but some officials prefer to pretend to be elegant, and they want to go to brothels most, but they say that Luoyan Pagoda is a good place with a straight face.
How can the people below be ignorant, even in the Luoyan Pagoda, there can still be women, talented women are also women.
Sitting at the banquet, Ji Man was sandwiched between two "talented women". The head of Du Zhi sat on the top seat, looked at her with a smile and said, "Master Ji is also young and promising, why did he become a businessman? Under the sect, it is better to abandon business and become an official."
"I don't have any big ambitions." Ji Man cupped his hands and said, "He has reached the position of chief executive at a younger age than Mr. Tang. I heard that there may be a promotion recently, which is also gratifying."
Director Tang smiled and said, "It's also thanks to the promotion of other adults."
During the banquet, there was another glass of wine, and Ji Man didn't hesitate to drink it after taking it. He also took the initiative to block a lot of wine for the chief, and of course he threw it all on his sleeve. Finally, when helping the principal to go downstairs, Ji Man was very considerate and said: "The principal seems to be a little drunk, and the room is already prepared in the inn next to him, let talented girl Xu help you go there."
Mr. Tang had a clear and wretched smile in his eyes, and patted Ji Man on the shoulder: "Master Ji really understands."
Shopkeeper Liu kept toasting and giving presents, without making the boss smile. Instead, it was Ji Man who followed Shopkeeper Liu to give gifts, and it was a good deal. Shopkeeper Liu's face was not very good-looking when he came out of Luoyan Pagoda, and Ji Man didn't care. They are also in the grain business, and they are originally competitors. Isn't shopkeeper Liu here just to please in her name
It was getting late, and the back door was still open when we returned to the Hou Mansion. Ji Man looked around, and then ran towards his room like flying.
Haohao lived next door to her with the maid, so naturally she smelled so strong that she couldn't just go and see Haohao. After entering the room, he was about to change clothes and take a shower, but someone suddenly covered his mouth.
It's not good to be in someone else's house, the owner may jump out at any time and scare you half to death.
Ji Man reluctantly took Ning Yuxuan's hand away: "Master Hou, I'm a man now, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to stay in my room in the middle of the night?"
Mo Yuhou's face was not very good-looking, he raised his hand to light the lamp, wrinkled his nose and said, "Are you going to drink?"
"Entertainment." Ji Man took off his robe and put it aside, finally feeling better.
Ning Yuxuan's expression now resembled that of a wife who had brought her husband home smelling of alcohol in the middle of the night, as if she was planning to interrogate her.
"Have you forgotten that you are a woman again?"
Ji Man nodded: "Master Hou also forgot, I am a man now."
Jaw clenched, Ji Man raised his eyes as if he was about to hit the tip of this man's nose. Ning Yuxuan pursed her lips and looked at her: "What else do you want?"
He has already given it to her well, why is it not enough? Why can't he just quietly take care of the children in his backyard? Why does he have to go out to show his face
Ji Man squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then said, "I want to be a tree, not a sapling flower, can Master Hou understand?"
Mo Yuhou was startled, and before he had time to ask her what it meant, Ji Man interrupted him self-consciously: "How can a man like you who has no romantic feelings understand, I may be Smoked with alcohol."
After washing his face and pouring it on the bed, Ji Man pointed to the door and said, "Tomorrow, I have to teach well, so I won't keep Lord Hou, please go slowly."
Silenced by her non-breathing words, Ning Yuxuan frowned, turned and left quite annoyed.
The price of Changjun rice is about the same as that of ordinary rice, but the grains are plump and sell well. Ji Man also took out his savings and rented stores in various places in the southeast and northwest of the capital to expand the scope of sales. Changjun is still supplying goods, just looking at the inventory, it is time to consider whether to build roads or continue to carry high freight costs with small profits but high sales.
After Zhao Zhe entered the palace to face the saint, he went to the Empress Dowager's palace to speak. It takes a lot of mountain roads to go from Changjun to the capital, so it is estimated that the mother and child will not see each other for several years. Wu Yong was looking for an excuse to let Changjun Wang stay in the capital for a few more days, but Ji Man came to him.
"I think it is necessary to build roads, what does Brother Wu think?" Ji Man said seriously.
Wu Yong asked curiously: "What's the purpose of building a good road? That's a big project."
"It's because it's a big project, so the court has to pay the money, so we should use the queen mother to talk to the emperor while the prince is still in the capital." Ji Man said: "Once the road is repaired, it will be beneficial to our future. Things are also very helpful. Brother Wu, if you think about building a road directly to the capital, if you can save hours of delay on the mountain road, if you want to transport some weapons in the future...won't it be much faster?"
Wu Yong frowned: "The road from Changjun to the capital, originally the prince also wrote many times to the new emperor to build it, but the new emperor refused all of them on the grounds that the treasury was in short supply."
"The treasury is in short supply?" Ji Man smiled: "The treasury is in short supply for building palaces for the queen mother, and the treasury for building roads in Changjun is also in short supply. But didn't I hear that the emperor wants to build a moon-watching pavilion for the queen? Then why is the treasury not in short supply?"
"This..." Wu Yong sighed, "It's also reasonable."
"As a counselor, brother Wu should also think of a way." Ji Man said with a look of serving the country, the people and the prince: "I can't let the emperor treat the prince badly."
Wu Yong nodded solemnly.
Within a few days, Mo Yuhou received a request for funding, saying that it was written by the king of Changjun. The new emperor could not directly reject it in person, but instead sent it to him. The implication is to use him as an excuse to refuse.
"If you want to get rich, build roads first." Ji Man stood a small blackboard, glanced at the shadow of Ning Yuxuan not far away, and taught him seriously: "Read it to Master."
Open your mouth well: "If you want Xiangfu, embroider the deer first."
Ning Yuxuan's mouth twitched.
