Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

Chapter 201 Rumor Reversal

Everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong!!!

The white pus spots on the matchmaker's face disappeared, and the pimples became fewer and fewer day by day.

In the past, matchmakers would put on powder and use their hair to cover the pimples on their faces every day when they went out.

But now, as the pimples on her face have decreased, the matchmaker no longer wears powder and has tied her hair up.

Just show your face like this.

At this time, everyone discovered that the matchmaker who had always been ugly looked pretty...good.

And the exposed eyes are bright and lively.

As a result, the fifteen-day gambling period only reached the tenth day.

The matchmaker walked out of the house with fair and smooth skin...

She still didn't wear any makeup today, but she carefully combed her hair into an exquisite style.

It was also rare to see a jade hairpin inserted in the bun.

For a moment, everyone found it hard to believe that such a beautiful girl could be the ugly and sloppy matchmaker from the past?

However, the most unexpected thing was that when the matchmaker walked to the main road of the city, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

The leader of this group was a man of decent appearance, between young and middle-aged, around thirty years old.

The people behind him should be the family servants, about twenty of them in total, with every two of them carrying a heavy box.

"What is this for?"

“Can’t you see that?”

"This is to propose marriage to Xigu."

Xigu is the name of the matchmaker. It seems that her name was chosen for the purpose of being a matchmaker, which is very fitting.

"Propose to Xigu? Is this true?"

"I've brought the betrothal gifts, how could it be fake?"

After hearing this reminder, everyone realized that the man really looked like he was here to propose marriage.

but...

Propose to Xigu?

"Besides, the pimples on Xigu's face are gone, only some red marks are left. In a few days, maybe all the red marks on her face will be gone."

"Yes, without the pimple, Xigu can be considered pretty."

"Who is this man proposing marriage?"

"I know him. He is Zhang Sheng from Changhe Lane. His family is quite wealthy."

"His first wife died at the end of last year, so he should be looking to hire Xigu as his successor."

"A second wife is fine too. Xigu is already in her twenties."

"Will Xigu agree?"

"I will definitely agree. If it were me, I would agree too."

"You? Forget it!"

"Hey, me, what's wrong with me? I'm a little old. I'll go to Nuantianxia and eat hot pot for a few days. Maybe my skin will be better than Xigu's."

"Don't say that. Someone spread a rumor before, saying that the things in Nuantianxia were not good. But after taking it for a few days, all the pimples on her face disappeared. It seems that those rumors were not credible."

"I didn't believe it at first, but you did?"

“…We didn’t believe it either.”

"Aunt Xi, Zhang Sheng has brought betrothal gifts and sincerely invites you to be his second wife..." Zhang Sheng really came to propose marriage.

He blushed...

Xigu looked at the people around her, stretched out her hand and pressed down, asking everyone to be quiet.

When everyone was quiet, she looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Master Zhang, Xi Gu has to go to Nuan Tian Xia for dinner today. If she goes too late, she won't be able to get a number plate. As for the proposal, please talk about it another day."

After saying this, she walked leisurely past Zhang Sheng and the servants and headed out of the city.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

Many of them made fun of Xigu, "Xigu, you are already in your twenties and still haven't married. Now someone wants you, you should get married quickly."

Xigu twisted her waist in a pretentious tone and said loudly, "There are still five days left. When I become more beautiful, I will find a suitable husband for myself. Why rush it now?"

"Isn't Zhang Sheng a good enough husband? Xigu, do you want to find a young and strong man? Aren't you afraid that you can't bear it?"

The sarcasm in the words made Xigu wave her handkerchief and roll her eyes.

Indeed, if Zhang Sheng had appeared ten days ago, she would have been ecstatic.

But now the situation is different. The pimples on her face are gone and she looks pretty.

She can definitely find a husband who is compatible with her...

Zhang Sheng is a good person, but his original wife left him a pair of children. Xigu privately does not want to be a stepmother, mainly because she is afraid that if she has her own children in the future, she will not be good enough to his original wife's children.

Xigu came to Nuantianxia, ​​and some curious guests followed her in.

They followed Xigu the whole time, watched her go to the greenhouse, and then selected several kinds of mushrooms, wild vegetables, and sprouts.

Back at the restaurant, we ordered pork, chicken and duck parts, fish, shrimp, fried tofu skin, vermicelli and so on.

Then he prepared the dipping sauce with ease, and then ate his meal leisurely.

The guests who came next asked to order the same dishes as Xigu.

Even the dipping sauce has to be the same.

They also called the waiter over and asked if eating Nuantianxia’s dishes would make their skin better like Xigu’s.

The guys had already been trained by Tian Youyou, and their answer was...

"The wild vegetables, mushrooms and sprouts that warm the world are all watered with the spiritual spring water from the mountains. The spiritual spring water is produced in the mountains, holy and clear, and good for the body."

"If the original skin is rough and bumpy, and the problem is obvious, then the effect will look more obvious."

"If your skin is already soft and smooth, eating their food will keep it that way."

With the example of Xigu, everyone was convinced.

From this day on, the number of people coming to Nuantianxia for dinner began to increase.

A few days later, the fifteen-day deadline set by Xigu arrived.

After she finished her last meal, she returned to the city gate but was stopped by the people.

In just five days, the red marks on Xigu's face had disappeared, and her skin became as white and smooth as a peeled egg.

Everyone chased after her all the way, and only when Xigu returned home did they realize that they had lost the bet.

The next day, Tian Youyou looked at the baskets of copper coins in front of her.

Yes, she was the one who set up the gambling game. The amount bet on Nuantianxia was only one thousandth of that on the other side. After losing the silver, she still made so many copper coins.

Manager Xie, Yan Yao, and other managers all looked admiring.

They never expected that the method Tian Youyou came up with would not only refute the rumors, but also directly reverse everyone's suspicion of Nuan Tianxia.

Now, who among the people of Cizhou Prefecture doesn’t know that the vegetables that warm the world are watered with the magical spring water from the mountains, and who doesn’t know that eating those things is good for the body?

Tian Youyou kicked one of the baskets of copper coins and said, "Thank you, Boss. Please deliver this basket of copper coins to Xigu in the evening."

Xigu was hired by the shopkeeper Xie.

Actually, Xigu is the niece of the cousin of the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper Xie.

The two knew each other before.

When Tian Youyou thought of this idea, Manager Xie immediately thought of Xigu.

When Xigu heard that she could improve her facial skin by eating this and get money in return, she agreed immediately.

She was originally a matchmaker, and could be considered a broker.

To put it bluntly, when doing business, profit comes first.

The money that should have been given to Xigu has already been given, and these are unexpected surprises.

Tian Youyou directly asked the accountant to record the remaining copper coins into the bonus amount at the end of the month.

"Ms. Tian, ​​you are amazing." Manager Xie gave Tian Youyou a thumbs up.

“I really have never thought of this method...”

He looked at the other shopkeepers, and they had the same expression.

Tian Youyou looked at Yan Yao, "Yan Yao, do you understand?"

Yan Yao nodded slowly.

"Tell me."

Yan Yao said, "Someone deliberately spread rumors and slandered Nuan Tianxia."

“Three people make a tiger. Even if the people don’t believe it, they will be frightened.”

"At least in the short term, our business will be affected."

"Besides, these rumors are preconceived. Even if we spread the news, the people will think that we are trying to cover up the truth."

"Miss Tian, ​​your strategy is to let the people see the actual situation with their own eyes."

"Xigu...she was originally a celebrity in Cizhou Prefecture. What she did would attract people's attention, and thus she could focus the attention of the people..."

What he said was right, Tian Youyou nodded with satisfaction.

"Yan Yao, if there are any problems in Nuan Tianxia from now on, I will leave it to you to handle."

When Tian Youyou said this, she felt a little worried.

Nuantianxia’s business is so good that it easily arouses jealousy from others.

Now it’s the Du family, but who knows who it will be next.

But there is no need to worry too much. As long as you persist in the warm weather, the longer it lasts, the stronger it will become.

Xigu’s matter was over, and Nuantianxia’s business had only been in operation for a month.

The accounting office quickly calculated the monthly income, but because of the influence of the rumors for nearly ten days, the income was greatly reduced.

So the monthly income was only two million taels.

Compared with the monthly income of 3 million taels that Manager Xie and his team had initially expected, it was more than 30% less.

Fortunately, starting from the second month, business returned to its opening high.

Tian Youyou chose to pay the employees their first month's wages after the lunch break of the day.

When the men received the silver and counted it carefully, they found that the amount they received was one-third more than the agreed wages.

When they heard that it was last month’s bonus, the guys were immediately excited.

This was not the first time for everyone to do the work, and the other owners would like to deduct three taels of silver from their salary.

There is no such thing as a bonus.

After it boils, it’s time to work hard.

In the second month, the income reached 3.5 million taels.

According to the date, Tian Youyou should go back to celebrate Lele and Xingqi’s first birthday.

She entrusted Nuan Tianxia to the care of the shopkeeper Xie and Yan Yao.

She asked Yan Yao to stay in charge of Nuan Tianxia and solve what happened in Zhuangzi.

Manager Xie, on the other hand, collected information that other managers had gathered in the capital city and kept an eye on the people's attitudes towards Nuan Tianxia.

After explaining all this, Tian Youyou also asked Yan Yao to prepare to return to Qinzhou Prefecture.

It's spring time, and the mulberry silk farm is starting to raise silkworms.

It's spring now, and it's time to buy a farm and plant rice.

Before Tian Youyou returned to Xiaohegou Village, she went to the dental clinic to find Ling Xiang.

She bought all the farms that are now for sale.

He also asked Ling Xiang to go to the next city and buy any farms that were for sale.

After deducting 30% of the cost and 20% of the income from Nuantianxia in the past two months, she can get 770,000 taels.

Seven hundred and seventy thousand taels, at the rate of four thousand taels per farm, would be enough for her to buy one hundred and ninety-two farms.

Manager Yue and his companions each received less than 10%, but this time they still received nearly 300,000 taels of silver.

This time when I returned to Xiaohegou Village, in addition to celebrating my two children’s birthdays, I also had to prepare for spring ploughing.

Tian Youyou prepared gifts for her brother and sister-in-law, then harnessed the carriage and prepared to leave the village.

"girl."

"girl."

The waiter at the door came over and said, "Young lady, two yamen runners have come to the door of the manor. They say they are from Anping County and are looking for you."

From Anping County? Could it be Xiaojia and Xiaoyi?

Tian Youyou asked the waiter to bring the person over.

At first glance, it was indeed Xiaojia and Xiaoyi.

"Girl." The two came over happily, "Finally, we found you."

"Find me?"

Tian Youyou raised an eyebrow, "What do you want me to do?"

Xiaojia scratched his head and said, "It's us adults who are looking for you."

"Isn't it spring ploughing again?"

"The rice seeds, bean seeds, and Jerusalem artichoke seeds were all kept by the people at home."

"But our lord is worried that the people won't grow crops well, so we want you to ask the people like last year to go around the villages and teach the people whenever they want."

"especially..."

"Growing two crops of rice..."

Xiaohegou Village planted two crops of rice last year. Tian Youyou promised Chen Li that she would promote it throughout the county this year.

"We went to Xiaohegou Village, and Uncle Tian and Aunt Jiang said that you opened a farm in the city..."

"Is this the Warm World Manor?!"

The two people looked around curiously...

It was the time when the lunch market opened, and customers were walking in in groups, making the place very lively.

Tian Youyou waved to a waiter and asked him about the distribution of license plates.

Knowing that there was still room in the lobby, she asked the waiter to take Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi there.

"Since you are here, you may as well try our hot pot."

"Go with the waiter, order whatever you want, and put it on my bill."

"I'll wait for you to finish eating and go back together."

Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi smiled embarrassedly, turned around and followed the waiter.

After the two of them finished eating, Tian Youyou set off with them.

Along the way, the two of them were talking about hot pot, chattering non-stop.

Tian Youyou was glad that she was riding in an ox cart, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well because of the noise they made.

It was not until the next day that Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi stopped discussing the hot pot.

Start talking about serious business with Tian Youyou.

"Girl, the road from the county town to Xiaohegou Village has been repaired."

“Now we are starting to build other roads.”

"Do you have any more money?" Tian Youyou asked.

Road construction requires a lot of consumables and the labor is expensive. Moreover, this time we are repairing the entire Anping County road, so the workload is also large.

Tian Youyou had already prepared to spend a lot of money.

"anything else."

"Don't worry, young lady. The master said that even if it's not enough for now, he can sell some of the grain tax."

Each county can keep some of the grain tax collected as silver for the county.

The others are recorded in books and sent to the capital for allocation.

An official letter has arrived from the capital regarding the grain tax collected last year, and it is to be sent to the military camp in the south.

"Girl, there is one more important thing." Xiaojia suddenly spoke embarrassedly.

Tian Youyou was also convinced.

We had two days on the road, and we spent one day discussing hot pot.

Today I started talking about serious matters, and at the end I mentioned that there is one more important thing!!!

"What's the matter?" Tian Youyou asked patiently.

Xiaojia: "Your Excellency has received an official letter from the capital, and the capital has sent several doctors from the Ministry of Personnel to Anping County, saying that they want to learn how to grow rice."

"If the girl doesn't have time to accompany you personally, you should arrange for a few people to accompany you."
