"Let me ask you some basic information first?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at a few people with a smile.

The six people nodded quickly.

"Can you read?"

Hearing Sheng Zhiyao's question, the six of them lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. They could only do menial work. Not to mention being literate, even eating at home was a problem. Otherwise, how could they have been sold as slaves.

"Don't know me?"

"Miss, it's impossible for slaves like us to know how to read." A girl whispered.

"Oh!" Sheng Zhiyao suddenly realized that she had really forgotten about this matter.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't know how to read, let's learn it now. Mei'er will leave this matter to you. You don't need to be able to read poems and songs. You just need to be able to understand." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and handed the matter over to Mei'er.

Meier nodded quickly: "Okay, miss, I'll take care of this."

"Well, then which direction should we start from?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at everyone with a smile.

The six people looked at each other, and one of the girls asked cautiously: "Miss, let's start with the simplest thing, what do we need to do."

"The first thing we have to do is let the guests bathe and change clothes after they arrive, and then... this set of procedures is called beauty and skin care. Do you understand?"

"Yes." The other six people responded quickly.

"But it takes too much time for a lady to bathe and change clothes. If we follow this set of procedures, wouldn't it take a whole day?" Meier said with a frown.

"Yes! Miss, this process is too long. I'm afraid it may not be completed in a whole day." Another girl agreed.

"What I call bathing and changing clothes is not what you traditionally think. Just taking a shower can solve all your problems."

"shower?"

"Oh! Yes, taking a shower can really save a lot of time, and we also save effort!" Meier suddenly realized that she had experienced it in Sichuan Xiangyuan, and it was really convenient!

"Miss, we still don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll explain it to you now."

Sheng Zhiyao was not in a hurry, and slowly explained to everyone what a shower was, and what beauty and skin care was, and also let them practice how to use the skin care products in their hands. Although this process was relatively boring, it was still an exercise.

Bar!

Time passed unknowingly, and when night fell, the six girls also understood the ways and methods of beauty and beauty.

"Miss, you are so amazing, you know everything." The six people praised in unison.

Sheng Zhiyao shook her head. She didn't know everything, but she lived too richly in her previous life and paid more attention to daily necessities, so she understood this. However, these are incomprehensible to people in this world.

It is impossible to control.

"Actually, there are many things that I don't know how to do, such as being a female celebrity, such as cleaning the room..." Sheng Zhiyao smiled bitterly. In her previous life, apart from studying academics and cooking, she really didn't know how to do anything else.

"Miss, this is not difficult. With our help, you don't need to learn. When we learn these things, aren't you afraid that we will find another employer?"

"Haha, I really haven't thought about this, but I believe I am your best choice."

Sheng Zhiyao laughed. In fact, she was not worried. If these people were not willing to stay with her, then she would not force them. After all, everyone had their own ideas.

"Then we will follow Miss from now on. We promise that we will do our best whether it is making money or working!" the six people said in unison.

"Okay! You practice more, practice makes perfect, I won't be here tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Miss, we will definitely work hard!" the six people said in unison.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded and left the shop with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, preparing to return to the Hou Mansion.

Just as she walked out of the door, Sheng Zhiyao suddenly stopped: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Our store is called Tianxiang Pavilion. You will make a plaque and hang it up tomorrow."

"This is a good name, I like it." Zhu'er was the first to agree.

"Yes, I like it too. Does the name Miss have any meaning?"

Sheng Zhiyao smiled slightly, said, "The sleeves of my shirt will be fragrant when I return," and turned around to get on the carriage.

In Yuchen Palace, Gong Jie has been back for two days, and he is waiting for the palace master Feng Yuanchen to send a letter from the flying pigeon.

Finally this evening he received the message, which contained only one sentence.

"Select ten elite secret guards and send them to the Marquis Mansion for distribution by the princess. As for the reward, the princess will decide on her own."

Gong Jie couldn't help but smile after reading the letter.

He knew that it was impossible for the palace lord to treat his master badly. It was time for him to pick out secret guards for his master and try to get back to the Hou Mansion later. After all, he was still a little worried about leaving only those four girls by his master's side.

.

Gong Jie hurried to the training ground, silently selected ten people, took them with him, and quickly ran towards the capital.

After Sheng Zhiyao returned to the Hou Mansion, she watched Mei Lan Zhu Ju tidy up their room. The bunk bed she bought this time was not like the one in Chuanxiang Garden with a bed on top and a desk on the bottom. Instead, it was made of solid wood.

There is a bed next to the stairs.

Moreover, this bed is 1.5 meters wide, and it is not a problem for four people to sleep on it, so even if there are a few more female secret guards, it will be enough to sleep.

"Why don't you think Gong Jie has come back yet?"

Sheng Zhiyao lay on the bed, looked out the window, and murmured in confusion.

Two days have passed, but there is still no sign of Gong Jie.

"Maybe it's because of the long journey and the delay." Zhu'er thought for a while and found a reason to comfort Sheng Zhiyao.

"I hope so, otherwise I should really consider replacing him." Sheng Zhiyao muttered.

The plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums all laughed, their young lady was so cute.

"Does any of you know how much grandpa paid Yuchen Palace?" Suddenly Sheng Zhiyao remembered this matter. If it was too expensive, she didn't have that much silver. Recently, all the money was given to the carpenter, and she didn't have much money left.

Yes, I still have to keep the balance.

"These subordinates only know that what the old Marquis gave them was not a banknote, but a pile of pills." Meier thought for a while, and then said: "Those pills seemed to be very expensive, and they exceeded the remuneration of the secret guard.

But I don’t know the exact amount.”

Sheng Zhiyao nodded slightly, and then asked: "Do you know what pills grandpa gave me?"

Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju looked at each other and shook their heads: "Miss, my subordinates don't know about this, but it shouldn't be an ordinary pill, otherwise the old marquis wouldn't take it as reward. How about the young lady asking the old marquis?

"

"Okay, I'll ask Grandpa now." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, then stood up and walked towards Qingliu Courtyard.

Arriving at the study, Sheng Zhiyao knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the sound coming from inside, Sheng Zhiyao pushed the door open and entered.

"Grandpa, my granddaughter wants to ask you something." Sheng Zhiyao entered the room and saluted.

"So polite? It's rare to see him!" Mr. Sheng said jokingly.

"Grandpa, when have I ever been rude?" Sheng Zhiyao blushed and said shyly.

"No, no, Zhiyao is the most polite. Come and sit." Mr. Sheng patted the chair next to him and asked Sheng Zhiyao to sit down.

"Grandpa, I asked Gong Jie to go to Yuchen Palace to select secret guards for me, but I don't know how much the reward will be. He didn't tell me."

"Oh?" Mr. Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said that his granddaughter only behaves well when asking for help: "Aren't your five secret guards enough?"

"That's enough for me. I just want my father, mother, and two brothers to be protected, so that Grandpa you don't have to leave your secret guards in the Hou Mansion." Sheng Zhiyao expressed her thoughts.

"You are really interested." Lord Sheng smiled slightly: "As for the reward! Just don't worry about it for now, I will pay for it!"

"Ah? That won't work!" Sheng Zhiyao objected hastily.

Old Marquis Sheng chuckled: "You silly girl, you are grandpa's granddaughter. Aren't you the same as me?"

"Grandpa, if I want to pay for it myself, just tell me how much you gave me when you brought the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums back, and I will refer to them as a reference."

"You!" Mr. Sheng laughed and scolded: "You girl, you really don't know who you look like!"

"Just like you! As stubborn as you are, you will never look back on something you have decided on." Sheng Zhiyao smiled mischievously, and then said seriously: "Grandpa, just tell me directly!"
Chapter completed!
