The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

As she spoke, she waved her hand again, "In the future, if you want to buy something, just report my name and I will definitely give you a discount. If others can't buy it, I will give you priority to sell it."

Gu Pingting reiterated the promise that Wen Rong had made in the letter she wrote to her.

He soon won the favor and praise of several classmates and friends.

They are all female students from Suzhou Academy.

Sucheng Academy was originally the only academy in this dynasty that accepted female students.

five years ago.

Pei Jiuniang had just married into the Marquis's Mansion, and at that time Gu Pingting was clamoring to go to Sucheng Academy as well.

Liu refused.

Gu Pingting refused to eat or drink, and finally Pei Jiuniang persuaded Liu and agreed to fund all of Gu Pingting's expenses at the academy.

For five years, Pei Jiuniang sent money to Gu Pingting every month, and she lived a very comfortable life.

About a year ago, she accidentally met Wen Rong on the street. She was selling rouge, powder and ointment at the time, and she recognized her at first sight.

When the two sisters Wen Wan and Wen Rong lived in the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Pingting liked Wen Rong very much. It was then that she learned that her sister Wen Wan was gone. She was shocked. She vaguely remembered that her brother Gu Tingzhi seemed to want to marry Wen Wan, but for some reason, he did not marry her in the end and instead married Pei Jiuniang, who had an engagement long ago.

She remembered that people in the mansion said that Wen Wan had married and moved away.

When they met on the street this time, she felt a little guilty about Wen Rong not having a good life and secretly gave her some money.

Wen Rong was very grateful to her, so she gave her some of the little gadgets she made.

She originally looked down on it.

Until a month ago, there were suddenly more shops selling rouge and powder on the streets. Her classmates would ask their maids to queue up to buy them before dawn every day. Out of curiosity, she also asked her maid to queue up and buy some.

But she didn't expect that it was the one she had left aside to gather dust.

It’s just that both the bottle and the box and the taste are much better.

She suddenly remembered the words Wen Rong had said to her so confidently that day.

“One day, I will open shops all over China, and those noble ladies will line up to buy my products. By then, you will naturally be my super VIP, and you will be able to choose anything.

The money you gave me is counted as your share, and you can make money even if you just lie down."

After knowing that Wen Rong succeeded, Gu Pingting could no longer sit still.

She hasn't been back to Beijing for many years.

Just at this time, news spread from the capital that the Imperial College was recruiting female teachers and female students, and that women could also take the imperial examinations. Many of her classmates were eager to try, and immediately decided to go to Beijing to take the examinations. It would be best if they could pass, but if not, they would find a way to go to the Imperial College to continue their studies.

She immediately decided to return to Beijing as well.

On the way, she couldn't hold back when she saw her classmates taking out rouge and powder to use.

When I heard them chattering about how good the things were, and how the shop was owned by a female owner and how difficult it was to buy things, I couldn't help but tell them the truth.

Naturally, she became the focus, was highly favored and praised, and she felt a little proud.

Of course, there are always people who are tactless and like to say sour words.

"Although your cousin is powerful, she is a merchant after all, and of low birth. You are the legitimate daughter of a marquis, and if word gets out that you have a cousin of low birth, it will be bad for you."

After these words came out, those who had been chasing her to curry favor with her also nodded.

The atmosphere suddenly became much colder.

She immediately became unhappy and deliberately said loudly, "You know what? Now many powerful people are trying to curry favor with my cousin and buy her things. Some of them are princesses and even the emperor's concubines. My cousin has written to me and told me that the princess has invited her to attend the flower viewing banquet. I will ask my cousin to take me with her then."

Upon hearing this, those who had originally retreated because of her making friends with merchants became excited again, surrounded her again, and tried to fawn on her.

"Really? You can go to the flower viewing party hosted by the princess?"

"Of course it's true. How could I, the daughter of a marquis, lie? If you want to go, I'll let my cousin take us with her."

Gu Pingting felt her vanity greatly satisfied when she saw these people fawning on her. Although her classmates were all children of officials, they were not high-ranking officials. Their families sent them to school, not only to make them knowledgeable but also to let them make friends.

They definitely couldn't attend the flower-viewing party hosted by the princess on normal days.

Naturally, everyone tried their best to curry favor with her.

Seeing that Gu Pingting agreed, everyone was very happy.
