Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Shen Huaixu turned his head to look at the grand scene at the door of his own study, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since ancient times, talented men have loved beautiful women. I cater to their preferences, and they are willing to pay for it. Isn't it a good deal for both parties?"

Jiang Wei was convinced, but then asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why do you only sell ten sets of Beauty Notes every day? Wouldn't it be better to sell more and make more money?"

She was not very well versed in business matters, and her head was full of questions about Shen Huaixu's series of operations.

"You're so stupid." Shen Huaixu raised his hand and tapped her forehead. "Scarcity makes things valuable. People don't like things that are easy to get for long. Besides, selling ten copies is to give them some benefits first. When new products are released in the future, they will be more willing to pay for them in order to collect them all."

Ultimately, she was just using some very common marketing techniques.

But these were all very new to Jiang Wei, and she was filled with admiration. She was overjoyed and showed her white teeth, "Ah Xu, I will follow you in the future. With you around, I will never have to worry about having no food to eat."

Shen Huaixu smiled brightly, picked up the tea bowl and touched hers, "It's my duty as a sister."

The business of Zhuli Study was officially on the right track. As the business became more and more prosperous, the initial eye-catching pictures of beauties were gradually replaced by new books launched by the study. Not only scholars were attracted, but also some young ladies in the boudoir. Many of them were servants in the mansion who ran to the door of the study to ask about the follow-up.

There is only one thing that puzzles the world. It is clearly written on the cover of the book that the author is a scholar named Cao, but this person has disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.

Unable to find his name, people could only assume that this person probably didn't want to show up and only left a pen name.

Suddenly it was deep autumn, frost fell all over the fields, and the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

Shen Huaixu was only busy for a month or two. After the business of the study stabilized, he began to wonder what Fu Yin, who had not been very active in recent days, was busy with.

She reflected secretly. The recent events in the study almost occupied her entire mind. When Fu Yin came to talk to her, she only responded from time to time, and her mind was wandering. After being ignored for such a long time, it was reasonable for Fu Yin to reduce the number of times he entered the space.

Although she understood, she still sighed softly. If it were in modern times, they would be in love, but she had never been in love. It was normal for her to be on missions for a long time, so she didn't think too much about it. Now it seemed like she had concerns and she couldn't help feeling guilty.

She pondered for a while, took out a sketch pen from the space, and scribbled on the rice paper that had been spread out long ago. After a while, a little raccoon cat with drooping eyebrows and a pitiful look crawling on the ground appeared under her pen.

Then she put the finished painting into the space.

For the whole day, she was paying attention to whether Fu Yin had seen the painting, but unfortunately Fu Yin did not enter the space that day.

In the imperial study of the Xiangyi City Palace, Fu Yin, who was wearing a black robe with gold threads and a mask on his head, leaned forward slightly. He looked stern and serious, and looked at the person in front of him carefully with cold eyes.

"Mr. Crane, I, I, I..."

The young man in ordinary cotton clothes stared at the regent, and after a long while he still couldn't think of the right words, he finally lowered his head and said gloomily: "Mr. He, please ask whatever you want to ask. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything I know."

Fu Yin looked at the boy kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "You are the emperor of Nanxia after all, how can you kneel to me?"

He glanced at the eunuch beside him, who tried his best to hide his shock and helped the young man up.

Wei Yunjue was almost choked by the word 'emperor emeritus', and seeing the eunuchs helping him up, he didn't really want to stand up.

He had a calf injury and was in severe pain, so kneeling would have been better. However, when he met Mr. He's eyes, he was frightened and had to stand up with difficulty. He stood there awkwardly, trying his best to remain calm.

Fu Yin did not speak. He raised his hand and gestured to the eunuch who was serving beside him. When only he and Wei Yunjue were left in the imperial study, he asked, "Tell me, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Wei Yunjue did not speak immediately. He was silent for a moment before saying, "I know that the Wei Nishang who returned to Xiangyi City is not my sister."

Fu Yin raised his eyebrows slightly as if he was interested, "Then who is she?"

Wei Yunjue suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. He, don't you know?"

Fu Yin practiced Tai Chi with the young man very patiently, "I should know?"

"She introduced you to me, and you are as weird as she is." Wei Yunjue said with reason and evidence.

"Compared to you, I am indeed weird, but please don't confuse me with her." Fu Yin said with some disgust.

Wei Yunjue was choked by these words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, he said, "Few people know that my sister and I actually have some sibling affection."

His face showed an expression of reminiscing about the past, with a barely detectable joy, "Since I was born, everyone has been reminding me that I should not get close to my sister, and it would be best if I didn't even see her, so that I could live well. But I think it's ridiculous that just seeing her once can kill someone, I'm afraid even the God of Hell would give her a wide berth."

"Later, my father, the king, and my mother passed away one after another, leaving me alone to walk the path of evil ministers. When I was still young, the eunuchs and nannies around me always reminded me that the Nanxia Kingdom was in danger and that I was the emperor respected by all the people of Nanxia. They told me to grow up quickly and support the entire country.

Later, the people around me changed one after another, and finally only Eunuch Wei was left to stay by my side. I watched them divide up the power that belonged to the emperor bit by bit. The ministers were well-fed and well-fed, while the people suffered terribly.

At that time, I thought, what does it matter to me whether Nanxia's surname is Wei or not? But the one who makes the decision is not surnamed Wei. Later, I wanted to know if all those surnamed Wei were as cowardly as me, and thinking about it, I thought of my good sister who was born with a bad luck. "

He looked up at Fu Yin, his eyes reddened, "I'm sure you've heard that I hate my sister, but we actually have a pretty good relationship. With the help of Eunuch Wei, I went to visit her several times in secret.

She was even more helpless than me. As the eldest princess, she was bullied by the servants. She was also soft-hearted. She was bullied so badly but asked me not to care. When she saw me, she just kept asking me if I was doing well, what the outside world was like, and whether I could let her go out of the courtyard for once. I agreed without thinking, but later I regretted it. If I couldn't do it, I shouldn't have agreed. Because of this, I first had the ambition to take power. "

Wei Yunjue's eyes became redder and redder, as if he didn't want others to see his embarrassment. He lowered his head hurriedly, "You also know what happened afterwards. I don't know when her personality changed drastically and she colluded with Qin Xiao. At that time, I had a few people I could use, and after I realized something was wrong, I asked someone to monitor her. At that time, she probably thought that my sister had never had contact with outsiders, so she only killed all the servants in the other courtyard. She was not very wary, so I learned a lot of her secrets."
