The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 156 The Toad from the Capital (2)
After finishing speaking, she ignored the people who were thinking with downcast eyes, looked at Duan Dao and asked, "Where are the other group of people?"

In the cottage where Futuwei lived, when she decided to establish the Jiuming Company, she ordered Duan Dao to collect two groups of people, one group was in front of her eyes, and the other group of people she needed to personally train had not yet been seen.

Broken Knife's thoughts were interrupted by Chu Qing, he clasped his fists and replied: "Miss has no arrangements, they will temporarily live in the west courtyard."

Chu Qing nodded: "That's it, you continue training, I'll go over and have a look."

"Miss." When Chu Qing was about to leave, Duan Dao suddenly said in a low voice.

Clearly stamped.

Duan Dao's eyes showed a serious light: "Miss said just now, Duan Dao will think through it carefully."

Chu Qing pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, walked down the steps, and led the three of them towards the west courtyard.

In the west courtyard, ten young boys and girls lived in it boredly. When they saw a group of people walking outside the courtyard, they all stood up and looked at them.

After Chu Qing's appearance was clearly reflected in their eyes, they knelt on the ground in disbelief, and shouted in unison: "Master."

Chu Qing looked at the five men and five women in front of him, saw that they were all clever people with delicate features, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Starting today, the men among you will follow another group of people to train in the morning, and come back here in the afternoon to be trained by me personally. The women will be trained by the big maid next to me, and I will also train in the afternoon. Come teach."

"Yes, master." Ten people answered without objection.

"Okay, today, I will teach you a special counting method first." Chu Qingling Jiujiu and Mingliu spread out the rice paper they had prepared, revealing the Arabic numerals inside.

The strange black characters on the white background caused everyone present to exchange glances in confusion.They have never seen those simple but never-before-seen symbols, let alone understand what they represent.

Chu Qing explained lightly: "I will teach you a set of independent bookkeeping methods. From this year onwards, all books in Jiuming Company need to be kept in this way. And, without my permission, anyone This method must not be passed on in private."

Speaking of the latter, there was a rare coldness in her voice, which made everyone shudder.

"Yes, master!" This time, everyone answered much more neatly.

On that day, Chu Qing stayed in Zhuangzi, and did not leave until the sunset.On this day, she successfully taught ten people, including the three around her, the recognition of Arabic numerals from 0 to 9, and the recognition of combinations from ones to tens of millions.

The homework left is the nine-nine multiplication table that makes them feel like a bible.

You must know that in this era, there are only addition and subtraction bookkeeping methods, and there is no multiplication and division method.

After leaving a sentence and threatening to eliminate those who could not recite it completely, Chu Qing left with Mingliu.

Both Jiujiu and Fusu were left in the village.That is to train others, but also to learn by oneself.

As for Ming Liu, Chu Qing trained her differently.Mingliu's analytical ability recently showed Chu Qing's admiration, and she hoped that she could develop further in this area and dig out her talent more deeply.

As soon as he got home, he saw his father Chu Zhengyang sullenly.

"Daddy, what happened?" Chu Qing asked with concern.

Chu Zhengyang slapped the table angrily: "The young master of the Zhou family from Jianning City is really hateful and arrogant."

The Zhou family in Jianning City?

Chu Qing carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest impression.

"How did this young master of the Zhou family anger my father?" Chu Qingyan smiled, calming Chu Zhengyang's anger.

Looking at the somewhat similar but more beautiful face to his beloved wife, Chu Zhengyang's eyes were full of affection.After receiving the hot tea from Chu Qing, he took a sip, letting the warm tea fragrance soothe the restlessness in his heart, before explaining the reason for his anger.

"The young master of the Zhou family is the young master of the Zhou family of the imperial merchants in Jianning City, and he can be regarded as the young master. This week, the Zhou family specializes in supplying makeup to the nobles of the palace. Although it is not very powerful, it has a very good relationship with the harem."

Chu Qing nodded.She can understand this, and she can coax the nobles in the harem to use the Zhou family's rouge and gouache. I am afraid that in addition to the nature of the product, the Zhou family also has a backer.

However, this week, the young master of the Zhou family is not doing his makeup business in Jianning City, so how did he get into trouble with his father?

Chu Qing was puzzled, and at this moment Chu Zhengyang continued: "Today, Zhou Changzhou, the young master of the Zhou family, suddenly came to our Chu family business, saying that he wanted to cooperate with us and win the sales rights of the Oscart family in Jianning City, and even, even……"

Chu Zhengyang 'even' for a long time, but he couldn't say the rest.This actually made Chu Qing curious, what was the reason that made his father so hard to tell.

"Daddy just say what he has to say."

Chu Qing's words did not make Chu Zhengyang better, but made the anger on his brow even worse.He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, causing the tea in the teacup to splash a few drops, and also made Chu Qing's eyes flash.

"This lustful dude actually proposed marriage to me, saying that he wanted to take you as the No. 18 concubine in the house." After Chu Zhengyang finished speaking, his face had become extremely gloomy, and there was even a faint smile on his face. The sound of teeth grinding came.

A cold light flashed in Chu Qing's eyes, and after a flash, she raised her lips and said with a smile: "Daddy won't promise his daughter to him, so why bother to be angry with such people?"

"Of course I wouldn't promise you to someone like him! However, he actually said that he would let Anning City know that you and him are in love, and then asked the empress in the palace to marry you." , is where Chu Zhengyang is really angry.

His daughter is so outstanding, it is natural to attract mad bees and butterflies, but this Zhou Changzhou wants to use power to suppress her, and even plans to spread rumors and threaten her.Such a person, how could he push Chu Qing into the flames?
"He really said that?" Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but become curious. She had never known this Zhou Changzhou before, why did the other party go to great lengths to force her to be his concubine?Is it for those overseas distribution rights?This is impossible. With the Zhou family's commercial status in Jianning, it is not impossible to obtain some distribution rights.for money?I'm afraid that the Chu family at this moment is not as good as the Zhou family who became an imperial merchant.

So, what is the purpose of Zhou Changzhou?
"Father, don't be angry, don't pay attention to this kind of people. After a few days, he will return without success." Chu Qing said.

Chu Zhengyang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Ah Li already has an idea in his mind?"

Chu Qing answered truthfully: "My daughter doesn't have any ideas at the moment, I just think that there must be a reason for Zhou Changzhou's actions. As long as he knows the reason and breaks it, he will not continue to pester her anymore. Besides, now that my daughter has not yet Meeting him, perhaps, he was just talking casually."
