Chapter 68.
After a tiring journey all the way, they finally arrived at the port, and Mrs. Zhong got off the carriage with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

"How long is it to Qiongzhou?"

The boy who came to pick him up replied: "Miss Qiao specially sent her own big boat, and it will take half a day to arrive."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction: "You miss Qiao has a heart."

"Miss Qiao is arranging a banquet and I can't get away. Let the younger ones take good care of the ladies. If you get seasick, there is medicine for seasickness."

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhong family felt a little relieved, it sounds like Ms. Qiao is not difficult to get along with.

Qiaoelya drank tea nervously in Shu Niang's room.

"I'm a little worried, what if the old lady is very fierce?"

Shu Niang couldn't laugh or cry: "With your ability, the old lady is too late to respect you, so how can she treat you harshly? I must be afraid."

Qiaoerya quickly comforted her: "Mother Shu, don't worry, you and Miracle Doctor Qu are long-lost sisters, and Miracle Qu's name is there, how can the old lady look down on you."

Shu Niang shook her head: "After all, I am a woman who has shown her face outside, and the big aristocratic family hates me the most."

Qiaoerya dissatisfied for her: "What's wrong with your identity? You are just a performer. Your teaching workshop is a decent place, not a place of low class. Your accomplishments are not inferior to men, so don't underestimate yourself."

Shu Niang comforted her with a smile: "I don't care what the old matriarch will do to me, as long as Zhong Lang's heart is on me, I don't worry."

Qiaoerya wanted to persuade her not to place all her bets on men, but she thought that Shu Niang was rescued by Zhong Heming when she was at her worst, otherwise she would be taken away by bandits.

This kind of emotion of life-saving grace is not something that her modern thinking can judge.

Besides, Zhong Heming is actually not bad, he only wants to earn Shu Niang the status of a commanding wife, and stay by Xiao Jinyou's side and do his best.

Shu Niang didn't pay unilaterally, they went both ways, so there was no need for her to pour cold water on her.

Since Qu Wangshu came to the island to thank him for saving his life, he has to leave every now and then, and then stay with Shu Niang on the island for a month or two.

Coincidentally, Qu Wangshu traveled all over the world for so many years in order to find his biological sister who was lost when he was a child, but he couldn't find any clues.

She and Shu Niang didn't recognize each other when they first met. It was only after getting acquainted with Shu Niang that she knew Shu Niang's name.Shu Niang has the same birthmark as her. One is Wang Shu and the other is Su Shu. Only then did they realize that they are closely related.

Later, it was proved that the person who sold Shu Niang was their father's personal maid, Ping'er. .

Shu Niang was lucky and was picked up by the eldest lady of Jiaofang to train her without too much training.

Although Qu Wangshu and Shu Niang recognized each other, the Qu family did not want to recognize Shu Niang back.

The reason why Qu Wangshu traveled around was because she believed that her father had killed her mother.The mother was wrong at the beginning, but a girl in the room actually lost her own sister in order to get revenge.After that, the mother shed tears all day long and entered the ancestral hall to meditate and pray for her sister.Ping'er, the housekeeper who killed her sister, not only became an aunt, but also gave birth to a son for her father.

The status of her and her mother in the mansion has plummeted. The father and grandmother only like the son, and the daughter is a tool for them to exchange benefits.In order to force Qu Wangshu to marry, his mother became seriously ill for no reason, and was buried before Qu Wangshu returned home.

Since then, Qu Wangshu has never returned to the Qu family.Until Shu Niang's life experience was discovered, she went home full of expectations and wanted her sister to be recognized, but the Qu family said that Shu Niang's identity was not innocent and would affect the marriage of the concubine at home, Qu Wangshu was completely disappointed with the family.

Qiaoerya and Shu Niang comforted each other, and Qin Niang and Qu Wangshu brought people in.

Qin Niang smiled at Yan Yan: "I'm worried that you won't be busy enough, I've called some smart helpers from the store, remember to return them to me."

Like a butterfly, Qiaoerya flew from Shu Niang to Qin Niang, holding her arm.

"Good mother Qin, thank you so much, I don't have any bottom in my heart."

Shu Niang shook her head: "I was still on good terms with me just now, I only think about her so soon."

Qiaoelya held one in each hand: "Hey, children only make choices, and I want both."

With the people brought by Qinniang, she finally doesn't have to worry about any mistakes in the people below.

Qin Niang facilitated the cooperation between the beauty shop and Jiaofang, and she is the person in charge of both parties. She just happened to solve the problem for artists of the right age, so she would come to the island to relax on weekdays.

"By the way, how is your wedding dress?"

Speaking of this, Qiaoelya had a frowning face: "I can't count on my craftsmanship. The embroiderer is embroidering."

Qin Niang comforted her: "It's nothing, you have such a strong business mind, it doesn't matter if you are not as popular as a female star."

Joela covered her face in shame and indignation.

Qu Wangshu looked at his sister, but didn't get involved in the topic.

Shu Niang held her hand: "Are you still thinking about Mr. Shen?"

Qu Wangshu frowned: "Why would I miss him." She had a conflict with Shen Lingyu recently and came to the island alone to find her sister.

Shen Lingyu has been hiding from her recently who she met, and has been sneaking around all day, presumably he has someone else.She, Qu Wangshu, is not a stalker, if she gets tired of it, let her go as soon as possible.

Shu Niang didn't know how to comfort her, because her younger sister broke up with the family because of her own affairs, and now she is having conflicts with Mr. Shen, she will stand by her younger sister no matter what.

Qiaoelya was accompanied by a group of friends, and the tension in her heart was relieved a lot.

Xiao Jinyou hurried back, his shoes were still covered with dust from outside.

Before the guests came, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I know you're uneasy, but luckily you have time."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Lu came to announce the arrival of the old lady.

Qiaoelya was led out by him, and he held her tightly even though she wanted to let go several times on the way.

Xiao Jinyou didn't even have time to change his clothes: "Don't worry, I'm here."

She thought to herself that it was because of you that she couldn't hold hands openly, could the old man bear it?

Old Mrs. Zhong is a person who has seen the big world, but she just looked away with a surprised look.

"This is Miss Qiao."

"Hello, old lady."

Mrs. Zhong nodded and introduced her family members one by one.

Everyone in Zhong's family looked at her curiously. It's no wonder they were like this. There were too many gossips along the way, and they almost described Ms. Qiao as a three-headed and six-armed monster.

Qiaoerya was wearing a peach-blossom cloud-and-mist blouse, and underneath was a colorful plum-blossom gauze skirt. Although it was not the most expensive material, it made her look like a fairy descending from the sky.

Several half-grown teenagers and girls in the Zhong family were dumbfounded.

The grandmother supported by Xiao Jinyou, the old man walked like flying: "It's been half a year since we left, how are you doing here?"

"Qiongzhou has beautiful mountains, clear waters, outstanding people, and the most important thing is to support people. Does my grandmother look like I have suffered hardships?"

Mrs. Zhong: "You have come here to endure hardships and hardships. You will report good news but not bad news in your letter. I have to see it with my own eyes to know."

Xiao Jinyou asked people to take the female relatives to rest, and Qin Niang lent Qiaoelya's daughter to her for use.

It's not that Xiao Jinyou doesn't care about the family, but that the management of the family has long been handed over to Qiaoerya and Fulu.The family usually doesn't need too many people, so I didn't buy a few girls back.

While Xiao Jinyou was in the factory, he learned the most knowledge and had to answer questions for the craftsmen.He is busier than a spinning top, he goes out during the day and only comes back in the afternoon.

This caused Qiaoelya to buy people now, and use them immediately when they couldn't buy them back. After all, they didn't necessarily know the rules.

The person sent by Shu Niang is an employee of the store, who not only knows how to serve people but also listens to people's words and expressions. They have high emotional intelligence.

As soon as the female family member of the Zhong family sat down, the child saw the glass window with sharp eyes.

"Wow, crystal window!"

Glass is a popular item in the market today. Only a few restaurants and inns spend a lot of money to install glass windows, and only install them on the second floor. If they are installed on the first floor, they will be stolen by thieves soon.

King An's mansion turned out to be full of glass windows, which made the female relatives love it.

Not only that, but there is also a full-length mirror in the house of the female relatives.They had received a makeup mirror before, and they were shocked by it. Who would have thought that there would be a mirror taller than a person in Qiongzhou.

Mrs. Li muttered to herself: "What kind of financial and material resources are needed to arrange the house like this." What's more, it's a guest room.

The maid explained with a smile on her face: "These are all things Miss Qiao brought, and they should be within easy reach for Miss Qiao."

Mrs. Li looked at the room curiously, and Mrs. Chen in the next yard did the same.

"The wedding date is set at the end of the month. I hope my grandmother can help us witness it."

Mrs. Zhong was puzzled: "Why are you so anxious about the wedding?"

"Qiaoqiao wants to keep everything simple. We don't plan to follow the royal scale, and we just need to be as polite as possible."

Mrs. Zhong still wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but thought that if her grandson ascended to that position in the future, there would be a grand ceremony for the Empress Dowager, so she stopped.

"Since you have an idea in mind, I will help you host it."

"Thank you grandma."

The women in the family couldn't sit still after resting.

They eagerly wanted to go to the rumored Wanbao Building to see them, and they finally came to Qiongzhou, so they had to go to Wanbao Building so as not to regret it.

Qiaoelya told the maids who came to help to try their best to take the guests to experience all the novel projects in Qiongzhou Mansion, and charge the money to her account.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't hold back her curiosity and went out together.

Xiao Jinyou stood beside her: "Grandma used to not like to go out."

Qiaoelya complained mercilessly: "That's because my grandmother saw all the Chang'an flowers when she was young, so the outside world is no longer attractive to her."

This is true, Xiao Jinyou did not refute.

The female family members of the Zhong family were led away by the maids.

The maid explained it like this: "If the wives go to the same store together, they will have to queue up for the items they want to experience. Why don't you stagger them first and find a place to gather when the time comes."

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhong thought it made sense, so they divided into three groups.

Mrs. Li is only 35 years old now, and her two sons have already married their own wives and had children. The eldest son went to the border with her husband, and the youngest son won an official position in the court.

The fact that her husband was stationed at the border made her sleepless day and night.If it wasn't for the transmission of military achievements every time, she might not even dare to sleep peacefully.

Because of excessive worry, she looks older than women of the same age, and standing with her youngest son will be regarded as a grandparent.

"Madam, would you like to experience the services of a beauty salon?"

Li's complexion changed: "Beauty salon? What is this for?" As soon as she heard about the beauty salon, she thought of something bad.

The maid works here, and she didn't feel sad because of being questioned. Instead, she generously introduced to Mrs. Li: "The beauty salon is a place to make women beautiful. If you are not confident about your appearance, you can go to the beauty salon to experience a skin care treatment. And get a free manicure.”

Li-shi caressed her face, she didn't dare to look in the mirror, what was reflected in the mirror was her old age, but when she was young, countless people stepped through the threshold to ask for marriage.

"I...I still can't." She didn't dare to accept the change, and if the change didn't work, she was afraid that she would be even more afraid to accept it.

The maid who was close to her was aware of her heart disease, and persuaded her: "Madam, when you come to Qiongzhou, you should go in and see the world. If you don't want to experience it yourself, why don't you let this servant have a try."

Bao'er grew up with her since she was a child, and the master and servant are like sisters.

"Okay, then go in and see what you can become."

The maid let out a sigh of relief, and then showed a friendly smile to the maid.

"Don't worry, the beauty salon will only make women more beautiful after entering, and they will involuntarily puff up their chests when they walk."

Although Mrs. Li doesn't want to do beauty projects, she is quite curious.

"When I came here, I found that the women in Qiongzhou Mansion behave neatly and generously, and are a little more comfortable than the noble girls in the capital."

The maid lived in Qiongzhou Mansion for two months and was almost familiar with Qiongzhou's humanities.

"I'm afraid Madam met female students who graduated from girls' schools. Their first lesson is to teach them how to be confident."

As for how she knew, because she was the first batch of female students to graduate, and she officially took up the job after only one month of training.

Li couldn't believe it: "Girls' school? Is there a girls' school in Qiongzhou?"

There is also a girls' school in the capital, which only teaches piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, and flower arrangement. The empress is in charge, and non-noble girls are not hired.

She participated in the assessment when she was young, but unfortunately she was not selected.

The aristocratic girls who came out of girls' schools were the targets of various families vying to marry. Such girls' characters were cultivated to perfection, and they could hardly find any flaws.

The maid smiled and took her maid Bao'er to lie on the chair: "Our girls' school in Qiongzhou is not a place to train noble girls. All the schools in Qiongzhou teach everyone life skills so that everyone can eat with their hands .”

"There is only one school in Qiongzhou that recruits students who are serious and take part in the imperial examination, but they have not been able to pass the exam in the past few years. It is said that their academic performance cannot meet King An's requirements, and they have to study in school for five years before they can take the imperial examination. "

Mrs. Li was so shocked that she couldn't speak, let everyone eat with their hands, can this be achieved?

The maid knew only one side of the story.In fact, the high-achieving students trained by Xiao Jinyou didn't want to just give them up to the emperor, and the emperor couldn't use them, so it was better to find an excuse to keep them in Qiongzhou.

The most important thing is that these students can't do the imperial examination questions since they have learned modern subjects. If they are asked to take the exam, there is a high probability that they will not pass the exam.

Including the two sons of the Taifu family, they forgot all the four books and five classics, and only chemical equations are in their minds.

The maid helped the maid Bao'er cleanse her face, and then used a scraper to apply a mask on her face.

Mrs. Li frowned slightly: "Why did you put mud on your face?"

The maid kept moving her hands: "This is a black mud mask, which has a whitening effect, and it's not real mud."
