Chapter 101 It's not that she is narcissistic (Part )
Xue Lingwan was startled and asked, "Why?"

Su Liuyue couldn't help but look over.

This time it was Xue Wenjin who spoke. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has always liked to make friends with knowledgeable people. I heard that when the overall situation was not yet stable, he began to recruit talents, make friends widely, and raised a group of talented retainers.

When Daqing was first established and all government offices were short of staff, His Royal Highness Prince of Wei recommended many of his men to His Majesty, who helped Daqing get through its most unstable period. His Majesty therefore highly appreciated His Royal Highness Prince of Wei and asked all the princes to learn from him.

After the news of the opening of the special examination spread, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei held banquets at his residence almost every day. Anyone who ranked in the top 20 in the provincial examination was invited by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. During this period, after candidates from all over the country came to Xinjing one after another, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei held banquets more frequently. "

So that's why. No wonder my uncle said that King Wei's post was worthless.

Isn't this a strategy of casting a wide net to raise fish? How is this different from Aquaman!
Xue Wenjin continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different. Although he will also invite talented people to a banquet, he only picks the best or those with special skills. Therefore, not many scholars have received invitations from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Lingwan's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Third brother, it's amazing that you can receive the post from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! So, third brother, do you have any special skills that I don't know about?"

According to the third brother, his grades were not the best, so he was not invited because of this.

Xue Wenjin smiled helplessly and said, "This is also what I can't figure out. I don't know how I received the letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I looked at the name on the letter three times before I was sure that the messenger had sent it to the right person."

Su Liuyue's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

It's not that she is narcissistic. She thinks that Zhou Yunke posted to Xue Wenjin probably because of her.

However, she is now working for Zhou Yunke. Zhou Yunke had helped his uncle before, so it is normal for him to want to develop the Xue family into his own faction.

Although she also felt that among these princes, following Zhou Yunke had the best future, she had no right to make decisions for them.

After all, this kind of standing in the court is not related to the interests of one person, but the entire family.

Xue Chengyi pondered for a moment, made a decision, and said: "Wenjin, we can't afford to offend either of these two princes. You should take time out these two days to attend the banquet, but your attitude cannot be flattering. You just need to be generous, treat everyone equally, and know when to advance and retreat.

I'll ask your mother to give you some money from the government office later. Since you're going to the banquet, you should buy yourself some nice clothes and bring some small gifts."

This is indeed the most reasonable approach at the moment.

Su Liuyue felt that there was no need for her to worry about them. After all, Xue Chengyi had been in the officialdom for more than ten years. Although his official position was not high, he still understood basic human relations better than her.

Xue Wenjin responded, stood up and was about to leave.

Yun hurriedly called him, "Hey, why don't you have dinner at home before leaving?"

"No, mother, the imperial examination will be held soon, and I still have a lot of books to review."

Xue Wenjin smiled helplessly at Yun, then turned to Su Liuyue and Xue Lingwan and said, "Liuyue, I heard that your Manyifang is about to reopen, and even if my third cousin is busy, he will come to support you.

Wan'er, if you have nothing to do, please help your cousin. The eldest and third brothers are busy these days, so just think of it as us contributing together."

Xue Wenjin was studying at Yangzheng Academy next to their Man Yifang, so it was convenient for him to come and support them. Su Liuyue immediately smiled and said, "Okay, third cousin, just study hard. When my Man Yifang reopens, I'll send someone to send you and your classmates a basket of cakes!"

I couldn't help but think that Zhou Yunke was still very sensible.

This superior was indeed right.

In the next few days, perhaps the news that she was not chosen by Princess Changxi was passed back, which made everyone in the Su family feel relieved and they did not come to trouble her.

Xue Lingwan felt sorry for her and kept chattering in her ear every day, "Cousin, you don't know how bad people are saying things about you. They said that you happened to step on that snake that day, and Princess Changxi was willing to summon you and praise you in person. It was a great honor, but who would have thought that you... you took advantage of the favor and became arrogant. You shamelessly stayed with Princess Changxi and refused to leave, hoping that Princess Changxi would take a liking to you and accept you as a student or something...

I'm so pissed! They were the ones who said that Princess Changxi would make an exception and accept you as her student. They were also the ones who mocked you for clinging to Princess Changxi today. My cousin didn't say anything, but they said everything good and bad about her!"

At this moment, they are in the newly renovated Manyifangli, preparing for the opening of the store tomorrow.

Originally, Su Liuyue only planned to close the store for half a month, but Man Yifang's original layout was not suitable for a stone cellar, so it had to be basically renovated. It took almost a month to complete the repair.

The reopening time has also been delayed until now.

Su Liuyue attached great importance to the reopening, and has been busy with it for the past few days. While counting the ingredients on the table, she said with a smile: "Okay, what's there to be angry about? Because you have no ability, others will measure you by whether you have found a noble person.

If you have your own abilities, why would you need to rely on the help of a noble person?
If you have the time to get angry, you might as well make a few more plates of mochi. Look at Master Song who has been working quietly and has already made nearly 20 plates of mochi. He is a real capable person!"

Mochi and crispy cakes are the main products of the store opening tomorrow. Mochi takes a short time to make and has a novel taste, so Su Liuyue plans to use it as a traffic product to build its reputation first. Crispy cakes take a long time to make, so Su Liuyue plans to use it as a limited edition product to whet everyone's appetite.

Therefore, they need a large amount of mochi, and it will definitely be too late to produce it on site tomorrow. Fortunately, mochi can be stored, and if it is properly stored, it can be stored for a day or two, even in such a hot day.

Su Liuyue’s strategy is to make a large amount of mochi tonight and then focus on making crispy cakes tomorrow.

Xue Lingwan quietly glanced at Song Zhuo who was silent behind her, and said with a light cough: "I am also working very hard, but... we only made so much on the first day, can we really sell them all?"

Although she is very confident about the taste of mochi, but... but everyone has different tastes, who knows if other people will like it too.

If there aren't actually many people who like it, isn't it a waste for them to make so many mochi?

"Do not worry."

Su Liuyue smiled mysteriously, "As long as the taste of our mochi is okay, I will find a way to attract customers tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Yuan has been busy all day preparing for the opening of the store tomorrow.

Early the next morning, with a burst of festive firecrackers, Manyifang, which had been closed for almost a month, reopened!

At first, the people just went over to take a look out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the store entrance, they smelled a strong and fragrant fragrance. This fragrance was different from any fragrance they had smelled before.

Before they could savor the flavor, a handsome young man came out with a gong in his hand. He knocked it hard, smiled and said, "Dear neighbors, today we are reopening Man Yi Fang. To celebrate, you can try the cakes in the store. It's not too late to buy them after you like them! The first fifty customers who buy cakes in the store will receive a refreshing drink. Be quick and you'll get it!"
