After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 68
Xu Qingying made a serious face, "Are you saying that as a woman, I shouldn't be in public doing business?"

"No, no, no, you are different, you are different from me..."

"What's the difference?"

"You can do a lot more than me, but I can't do it... Miss Xu, please change your request. I can learn how to cook, wash clothes, or take care of food and daily life... But I really can't do such a big thing..."

"But I don't lack people to take care of me." Xu Qingying stared at Qian Zhenniang with a smile, her eyes sharp, as if she had nowhere to run, "You have also seen that my soap business is a temporary stall, and my people There are many good and bad people. There are many people in the team who can read and have worked as stewards, but they are not of the same mind as me, and I dare not let them go. You are the only one, with no father, no mother, no relatives, and no place to go. I still Having saved your life, you will definitely be loyal to me, why wouldn’t I use such a person?”

Qian Zhenniang thought about it, "But you still have Master Xu and Mrs. Xu. I heard that Mrs. Xu is also from a merchant. If Miss Xu is really short of manpower, why doesn't she go find them?"

"They are elders after all, and there are things I can't tell them to do after all. What's more, you should know that this soap business technically belongs to the third room of our Xu family. If I continue to put other people in, the business will become bigger in the future. It is inevitable to fight openly and secretly. In this case, it is better to cut off their minds from the beginning." Qian Zhenniang still refused, "No, I am not good at horoscopes and it will be a hindrance to you. If something happens to you because of me, I will have a bad conscience. .”

Xu Qingying laughed loudly and patted Qian Zhenniang's shoulder, "To tell you the truth, what I don't believe the most is the Bazi theory. I only believe that man can conquer nature. And the Bazi thing is a matter of opinion. Some people believe it. Some people, like me, never believe it. And to say the least, if you really have bad horoscopes, then I am a very lucky person, with strong horoscopes, and I will definitely be able to suppress you. You are now broke. Wen, you have nowhere to go, so you might as well take refuge in me. I dare not promise you anything else, but glory and wealth are still possible. You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living? If I were you, I would live well. Live your life like a human being, and when the time comes, you will walk up to your uncles in gold and silver, so that they can only support you and fear you. When you get older, you can marry someone if you want to, and if you don’t want to, adopt some so-called Girls with bad horoscopes, we unite and help each other, you raise them, they give you death, you are surrounded by your children and grandchildren when you are old, your reputation will last forever, is it no better than if you threw yourself into the river and no one remembers you? In that case, what else? Why bother to come to this world?"

Qian Zhenniang's heart was trembling, and her eyes seemed to light up with fire. She couldn't explain why her heartbeat was beating so fast.

She seemed to have glimpsed a part of her long life, which was different from her gloomy past. It was another version of herself in the sparkling world.

Can she do it?
"But...I don't want to embarrass my uncle...Although my aunt is harsh, it's my fault. It would be better if I were a man. At least I can support myself and not drag down my relatives."

Qian Zhenniang subconsciously looked for excuses to evade, but she was a little itchy when Xu Qingying said, "Actually... I don't have big ambitions like Miss Xu. I just want to live a good life. Don't let others bully me. Give me a piece of it." Just a place to stay. Miss Xu, what you said is too good. I am not as capable as you think, and I am afraid that I will live up to your expectations of me."

"You'll know if you give it a try?" Xu Qingying smiled slightly and followed the guidance. She knew that most girls have low self-esteem, and proper encouragement can help them regain their confidence, especially girls like Qian Zhenniang and Li Zhaodi who have been suppressed since childhood. Growing up, they would subconsciously deny themselves before doing anything, but Xu Qingying felt that their potential was much more than that.

"Don't rush to tell yourself that you can't do it before you do it. Only after you have tried, studied, and worked hard can you prove that you may not be suitable for this thing. But even so, it does not mean that you Incompetent, it can only be said that your talents and advantages are in other things, you are just not good at this one thing."

Xu Qingying stretched out her hand, with a smile like spring breeze and rain in her eyes, but she seemed to be full of elegance, "Miss Qian, the world is in chaos, and being a woman is even more difficult. No one can give you the shelter you want. You, you have to fight for it yourself, otherwise you will always be homeless and dependent on others like you are now. So, in order to have a place to live, to not be bullied by others, and to be an upright person, do you want to try and learn? , Do you want to risk your life for me and yourself?"

Her voice was neither fast nor slow, but it had an inexplicable inspiring power, as if if she said so, it would definitely come true.

Qian Zhenniang has never heard anyone tell her that she can do it.

She can try.

Since she was a child, she has heard more about "broom star" and "disaster star".

It seems that she has been living a life of wandering and living under the shelter of others since she was very young.

She must live cautiously, breathing lightly, walking slowly, not saying she is hungry when she is hungry, not saying she is thirsty when she is thirsty, and not saying it is cold even if she only has a bed of cotton wool in winter, and cold dishes and meals are even more common, otherwise she is ignorant. grateful.

Sometimes she felt like a wooden person who never dared to express her emotions. She had to tightly stuff herself into the box in order to survive.

Why doesn't she want to be as majestic as Xu Qingying?

As she spoke, she gave directions. Regardless of whether she was a man or a woman, she behaved well when she spoke, just like the heroic female general in the picture book.

But she only dared to look at it from a distance. She knew in her heart that Xu Qingying was an existence that was beyond her reach.

In this life, if she can have a place to settle down, find an honest and reliable husband, and have a son, then it will be considered that God has treated her well.

She originally thought that Xu Huijia was that person, so she tried her best to seize that happiness, but she didn't know that everything was in vain.

Even Mrs. Cao, who was so careful to please her, pityed her on the surface, but secretly called her a broom star like everyone else.

But now, suddenly there was a person who blackmailed her to repay her for saving her life, but actually encouraged her to live well. Qian Zhenniang felt that her sore eyes began to swell again.

Feng'er was beside her, so anxious that she wanted to express her position for Qian Zhenniang. After all, she was worried about her own identity, so she only dared to hold Qian Zhenniang's arm, "Miss, please agree quickly, we have nowhere to go. Let's go back to our hometown." It’s no longer realistic to go back to Bianjing. Besides, we finally came out, so why go to my uncle’s house to ask for trouble? The Xu family’s letter of divorce has been written, and you have nothing to do with the eldest son of the Xu family. . We are alone, so we might as well follow Miss Xu. Don’t you often say that Miss Xu Liu has a bodhisattva’s heart and can do anything? We follow her. We don’t seek glory and wealth in this life, but just a place to settle down. We stand tall and upright. We want to be a good person and make all those who looked down on us before kneel at our feet..."

Qian Zhenniang burst into tears and smiled, "You little girl, I never saw that you had such ambition before. Anyway, since you said so, I have to think about you even if I don't think about myself -" Qian Zhenniang Bowing to Xu Qingying Yingying, there was no glimmer in her eyes, but a hint of tenacity, "Miss Xu, thanks to you for not disapproving, Feng'er and I will entrust everything to you from now on. From now on, our sisters are you I am willing to swear that I will never betray you in this life. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by thunder!"

Feng'er looked a little excited. She blushed and swore to the sky along with Qian Zhenniang, but kept looking at Xu Qingying.

Qian Zhenniang took Feng'er's hand and said earnestly: "Feng'er, you grew up with me and we are like sisters. I have returned the deed of betrayal to you. From now on, we are no longer masters and servants. If you don’t mind, just call me sister.”

Feng'er was flattered, but then she cried again: "Miss, I am yours in life, and your ghost in death, you don't want..."

However, Qian Zhenniang suppressed her words and said, "Don't say stupid things. Now you are free and on an equal footing with me. From now on, you just listen to Miss Xu Liu's orders, silly girl..." Qian Zhenniang wiped the phoenix "Why don't you kowtow to Miss Xu Liu to express your gratitude? A bright future is waiting for us from now on..."

"No need." Xu Qingying helped the two of them up, with a smile on her face, "In the early days of our business, the conditions were simple, and we had to endure hardships. Since you have followed me, I will not treat you badly. Just wait for the future, as long as you don't If you fail me, I will never fail you."

Fang Ningmo on one side saw her heart surge with excitement. She admired Xu Qingying's method of winning people's hearts, but also admired her kind heart.

It is not difficult to keep Qian Zhenniang alive, but how to keep her alive well is the most difficult thing.

Qian Zhenniang has no father or mother, and has nowhere to go. She is also a woman who broke off her engagement because of her birth date. It will be difficult for her to get married again in this life.She has no skills, is unable to gain a foothold, and is unable to support herself. You can imagine how miserable her future life will be.

But Xu Qingying directly proposed that she be the manager of the soap business, which was tantamount to giving her a way out.

Fang Ningmo suddenly thought: It turns out that giving a dying person a little hope is the most important thing.

"But..." Fang Ningmo really didn't want to be this evil person, but seeing that the three of them seemed to have a sworn relationship with Jinlan, she had to remind her, "Although Miss Qian and Feng'er are both good people, they can't do anything with this status." It's more convenient to come here. However, according to the laws of Dazhou, the two girls' families cannot establish a household, which means that if the business really gets big in the future, Miss Qian's uncle and aunt can appropriate your family property. "

Xu Qingying frowned, "Can't it also be done by female households?"

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, women's households could be opened, but due to the tightening trend in recent years, the court did not encourage the opening of women's households. Therefore, the conditions were extremely harsh, and the officials below naturally followed suit. The court stipulated that women's households must pay half of the tax on their income. , then when you reset the card at the bottom, you will get at least [-]% of the money you earn."

Xu Qingying didn't expect that a female household would be so involved.

With an income of [-]%, leaving aside costs and expenses, what else would she earn? Didn’t she become a part-time worker for the court?

Fang Ningmo couldn't bear to see the three of them deep in thought, but he had to say: "And we are in exile now, the lowest status. Although the Zhou Dynasty did not expressly stipulate that exiled prisoners cannot buy and sell privately, but If someone knows about it, we will be fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and we will inevitably be targeted."

Qian Zhenniang looked frightened and subconsciously looked at Xu Qingying.

However, Feng'er asked cautiously: "Do we have to think of ways to hide the money? For example, put all the money in the name of a dead person who died but did not report it to the government?"

Xu Qingying glanced at Feng'er approvingly, and Feng'er was encouraged. She knew that Xu Qingying liked girls who were bold and daring, so she spoke louder, "Or...is she bribed officials to do a fake public inspection?"

"These are all ways. In fact, the best way is to set up a female household. This way, you can avoid all risks once and for all, and you don't have to worry about the money you earn being robbed one day."

Xu Qingying smiled, "It's just that we haven't replaced our soaps with real money yet, so we don't have to think about it so much for the time being. How to avoid risks and guard our own money? We can slowly rebuild on the road." I think. The top priority is for Qian Zhenniang to take good care of herself and get back to work as soon as possible. When you are well, you will learn to make soap with me first, get familiar with the production line first, and then learn some management and operation. As for what to do next , then it will depend on how well you two have learned."

Qian Zhenniang and Feng'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed again. Xu Qingying helped them up forcefully this time, "The gift just now was for life-saving grace, so I accepted it. But you remember, my rules are not allowed Kneel down. I hate people with weak knee bones. Also, I am a straightforward person. I hate spending time speculating on other people’s thoughts. I also hate others speculating on my thoughts. This will waste time and reduce the efficiency of doing things. So in the future there will be Tell me directly what happened, what thoughts you have, and what grievances you have suffered. I think if you are not doing well, you will tell me directly. Since you have decided to do something, learn more new things and less old ideas, and you will be stronger mentally. Some. You two are both girls. If you want to gain power and status, you must be more ruthless, harder, and more aggressive than other men, and you must bear more pressure. And when you are busy in the future, I will not come to you like today. When doing ideological work, you need to digest a lot of negative emotions by yourself, so I need you to become stronger quickly, can you do it?"

Qian Zhenniang and Feng'er looked at each other and felt that Xu Qingying's words were very oppressive, which made both of them feel excited, as if something in their blood had been suppressed for a long time and now it all came out.

The more this happens, the more they want to do well.

Feng'er had to kneel down as usual again. Then she remembered what Xu Qingying said just now, and immediately stood still. She just cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu Liu."

"No thanks, just call me Boss Xu from now on. Feng'er, go get some medicine and keep Qian Zhenniang healthy. Remember, your bodies are your greatest wealth, don't damage them easily. Take good care of yourself quickly, I still need you to help me——"

Feng'er responded.
