Li Daqi never dreamed that the prince would come to his shop, and it was His Highness Jia. This made Li Daqi so happy that he couldn't stop talking. His son was really promising and actually made friends with the royal family.

This is not Li Daqi's inclination to the point of being in power, but the normal mentality of a parent. More importantly, as a businessman, Li Daqi knew that His Highness Jia's visit to Baoyanzhai meant that Baoyanzhai had a backstage. No matter Zhang Gu's old rouge shop, the red-colored Wang Family rouge shop, or other rouge shops, they dared not act rashly on them.

"Li Shaojun, I never thought that you were the owner of Baoyanzhai Rouge Shop!"

After visiting the Rouge Shop, Zhao Kai smiled happily at Li Yanqing and said, "Baoyanzhai is very famous. Even I have heard of it. Speaking of which, I want to buy a few bottles of perfume and go home."

"Your Highness, you don't need to buy it, I'll give it to you!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

Zhao Kai rolled his eyelids and said, "That's not possible. I want at least thirty bottles, only 60 guan. My reputation is more than 60 guan."

"Oh well!"

Li Yanqing turned around and winked at his father, and smiled and said, "Your Highness wants to buy thirty bottles of perfume, let's break the example!"

Baoyanzhai has regulations that each individual customer can only buy two bottles of perfume at most. If you want to buy more, then sit down and discuss in detail. Both parties need to sign a contract.

Li Daqi immediately smiled and said, "No problem, I'm going to prepare now. In addition, our store has three bottles of top perfume, which are the treasures of the small store. We will give a bottle to the princess."

Zhao Kai's face turned slightly red. He had not yet established a princess, but he still expressed his gratitude. At this time, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I have to express it when I took my store treasure!"

Zhao Kai laughed, "What do you want me to express?"

"My store name doesn't have a brand yet. Your Highness will write me a store name!"

Li Daqi was so scared by his son's joke that his heart was beating. When he suddenly heard this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly ran into the inner room to lay paper and grind ink.

Zhao Kai understood what Li Yanqing meant and wanted to use his own words as the backstage. At this time, he needed to win over Li Yanqing, so he just wanted to do his best. He pondered for a moment and said, "You saved my princess' life. I said I would repay you. I will ask my father to write this store sign."

Li Daqi was so scared that he actually asked the emperor to write a store sign for him. He trembled for a while and said in a trembling voice: "Is this what it means?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Anyway, it was proposed by Your Highness. If something happened, of course it would be your Highness that we will take responsibility, so we don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Kai smiled and pointed at him, "You! You are still behaved when you get a bargain. You are just a brat!"

Zhao Kai and Li Yanqing made an appointment for tomorrow's departure time and meeting place, so they asked the guards to pay for perfume and leave. Li Daqi kept sending King Jia away, and then pulled Li Yanqing back and asked excitedly: "How could you know His Highness King Jia!"

Li Yanqing said vaguely: "He also studied in the Imperial Academy, so he naturally knew him."

Li Daqi suddenly realized it, and he sighed and said, "It's better to be a good student! It's so easy to know a royal family."

"Have your father and Zhang Gu Lao Store talked about it?" Li Yanqing changed the topic in time.

"Discussed!"

Li Daqi hurriedly said: "They have thirty-three rouge recipes, but they are only willing to exchange them with us for ten rouge recipes. What do you think of this condition?"

Li Yanqing actually only has one type of food. He wanted to know the comfort level of oil and fat for human skin, so he smiled and said, "I think I can agree."

"I think so too. In fact, as long as you have these ten recipes, other rouge varieties are easy to mix, so I will take Erlang there in the afternoon!"

Erlang is Aunt Yang's younger brother Yang Jing. This kind of formula transaction is not about exchanging two notes. Both parties must sign a confidentiality contract and teach each other step by step to prepare it. This is the completion of the transaction. Li Daqi learned from Li Dongdong's lesson and wanted his future wife and brother to master this formula.

Li Yanqing shook his head and said, "Dad brings the magpies with him too. Erlang will make wine in the future. It is enough for him to master perfume skills. I want the magpies to master the preparation of rouge, and at the same time, my father also needs to learn it. I still say the same thing, don't put the eggs in a basket."

Li Daqi nodded silently. He always respected his son's opinions in such matters. Since his son felt it was inappropriate, it would be good to let the magpie master the rouge.

He sighed and said, "Li Dongdong left early this morning, and his family left the capital and went to Daming Mansion. I gave him 1,200 guan, including his 500 guan capital and his part of this month's profit. He returned all the parts."

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Dad can take out 20% of them, one of which is given to Aunt Yang's brothers, and the other is for Yan Biao and Tiezhu. Then increase the salary of the clerk, and the salary of Xima should be the same as that of Aunt Yang's brothers."

"Where is Qing'er?" Li Daqi asked again: "She often comes to the store to help. How should I calculate her salary?"

Li Yanqing received a letter from Uncle Zhong not long ago, which was left to him by his master Zhou Tong. The letter implicitly told him that Lu Junyi and Hu Cheng were kidnapped by Song Jiang on the way to Yunzhou and had already gone to Liangshan. Li Yanqing knew that Hu Cheng would soon find his mother and daughter.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Hu has been rescued. I guess Qing'er can't stay long, but since she has come to the store to help, it will cost a day to make money. Just like the magpie's wages, my father was injured and Aunt Hu also made chicken soup for her father. We can't lose money to Uncle Hu's daughter."

A certain emotion in Li Daqi's heart was aroused, and he sighed softly. When he was injured and lay on the bed, all his thoughts were gone. He never thought that he would be today.

"Don't worry! Hu Da's daughter is my Li Daqi's daughter, and I never treated her unfairly."

Li Yanqing returned to his father's residence, which is Zheng Rongtai's house. In addition to his father and Aunt Yang, Aunt Yang's brothers and sister-in-law also lived here. Li Daqi temporarily rented a small tea shed outside the city and hung it under Yang Jing's name. In this way, Yang Jing was certified as a fourth-class household in the name of opening a store. The fourth-class household could rent two houses, and the problem of seven houses was successfully solved.

Even so, the Qijian House was still too big, so Li Daqi decisively changed the perfume workshop that he originally planned to be placed outside the city in his house. In this way, the production site was very close to the store and transportation was more convenient.

Li Yanqing walked into the yard and saw Qing'er sitting under a big tree in the yard writing. Qing'er's intelligence really surprised Li Yanqing. In just two or three months, Qing'er had mastered three thousand words and more than one hundred common sentences, which exceeded the year of studying in ordinary primary schools. She was not only extremely smart, but also worked very hard.

For example, while reading the novel written by Li Yanqing, she copied down the words and sentences she didn't know, then gathered to ask Li Daqi, and finally returned to the book for comparison and understanding. This learning method made her progress very quickly, which made Li Daqi praise her.

"The little official is here!"

Suddenly, a magpies cheered in the yard, and Qing'er was also alarmed. When she saw Li Yanqing coming, she quickly put down her pen and greeted her with a smile.

"Little official, do you want to take us into the Imperial Academy?" asked Magpie expectantly.

"I'm going out for a while, and you will go to the Imperial Academy when I come back."

"You're going out again?"

The magpie muttered in a low voice: "There are always all kinds of reasons."

"What is the magpie talking about?" Li Yanqing pretended to be unhappy.

"I didn't say anything, when will the little official come back?"

"I don't know much, I'm going to Jiangnan for about a month."

"Brother, I'll go too!"

Qing'er looked at Li Yanqing and said, "I can help you!"

"I can help you, too."

The magpie pinched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head and whispered: "I...I can comb your hair for you."

At this time, Li Daqi also walked into the door and smiled and said, "Magpie can't go, Magpie wants to go with me to Zhanggu's old rouge shop."

"Master, what am I going to their store to do?" asked Joy in confusion.

Li Yanqing pulled the magpie aside and said to her: "I want you to learn how to prepare Zhang Gu's rouge. This is very important. I don't trust others."

"Can I learn it?" Magpie asked nervously.

"Of course you can learn it, it's not a profound thing, it's just making rouge. Are you not very good at it? As long as you learn one, you can practice the other recipes slowly after getting the recipe."

"Will Qing'er go with me?"

Li Yanqing turned around and looked at Qing'er. It would be okay if Qing'er was willing to go.

But Qing'er shook her head decisively, "I'll go to the south with my elder brother!"

Qing'er has an unusually sensitive feeling. She could feel that her elder brother would encounter danger when he went to the south this time. She also practiced good martial arts and recently learned to ride a horse. She felt that she could help her elder brother.

"Qing'er, take her there! Qing'er can help you." Li Daqi said on the side.

Li Yanqing looked at Qing'er carefully again and saw that she had a unique heroic spirit of a boy and could walk with her as a book boy. Li Yanqing thought that she was not weak in swordsmanship and light skills, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay! Just dress up as my book boy, named Hu Xiaoqing."

Qing'er jumped up in joy and ran towards the room, "I'll go change my clothes!"
