But it also had not-so-good consequences. Cui Weizhen, who had always been eating a light diet, got angry from eating hot pot and developed an acne on his forehead, which really ruined his image. Ye Zhenzhen had to prepare an anti-acne cream to treat him.
After proving its efficacy, the anti-acne cream was put on sale in Mantingfang. Because of its moderate price, it was quickly snapped up by young girls.
Not only was Man Tingfang unaffected by the recent turmoil, but her reputation and business have improved to a higher level. Learning from the past, everyone is aware that buying imitations may cause disfigurement, so they would rather save money than buy genuine products.
Another subsequent impact was that the county magistrate Li Xuandao came to apologize in person.
It happened to be Xiu Mu that day, so Cui Weizhen didn't have to go to school in the county. Ye Boshan and Ye Shiming learned the Cui family's address from Ye Dayong. The father and son came to visit. The reason for their visit was simple. Ye Shiming wanted to continue schooling and asked Cui Weizhen to introduce a reliable teacher.
Ye Shiming previously studied under Shao Xiucai from the county, and everyone is familiar with his son. It was Shao who was so frightened that he lost control and later broke Ye Shiming's legs.
His former mentor and good friend had become enemies. Ye Shiming's reputation as ungrateful and unjust had spread throughout the circle of scholars. In addition, Shao Xiucai's reputation was such that no one was willing to accept him, so he turned to Cui Weizhen.
Ye Boshan and Ye Shiming were so shameless that they couldn't get rid of them. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen were both annoyed and worried about how to get rid of this matter, when Li Xuandao came to visit.
"It turns out Mr. Cui has relatives visiting, but I interrupted him."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We are all one family. Your Excellency, the county magistrate is too polite. You don't need to see us outside."
Don't get me wrong, such flattering words were not said by Cui Weizhen, but by the dopey Ye Shiming who rushed to answer.
Li Xuandao seemed to take it seriously, and his smile became gentler, "This brother looks kind, could he be Madam Ye's family?"
Ye Shiming was flattered and raised his hand, "Your Excellency, Lao County, I would like to ask, my student, Ye Shiming, is Daya's second uncle."
"It turns out that Mrs. Ye's second uncle also has a family background, so he can marry Mr. Cui."
Li Xuandao looked enlightened and asked casually, "I wonder where Brother Ye learned from him?"
Ye Shiming looked embarrassed, "I don't have a teacher for the time being. I just want to ask Brother Zhen for advice on which master I should worship."
"No matter how good the private schools in the county are, they can't be compared to private schools. If Brother Ye doesn't dislike it, I will give you a letter of recommendation, and you can just go to the county to study."
Ye Shiming was stunned by the sudden surprise and was stunned for a moment. Ye Boshan woke up and pinched him quietly. Then he woke up as if from a dream, knelt down ecstatically and thanked him repeatedly.
"Student, thank you for your kindness, sir. Your kindness will be unforgettable by the students."
What is meant by "Ye Shiming" is Ye Shiming. Now he no longer has to worry about where to study, let alone Cui Weizhen.
In the past, he was despised for wanting to be Cui Weizhen's schoolboy. But now, the county magistrate favored him and allowed him to study in the county.
Ye Shiming's proud and arrogant energy almost came out of his eyes, and he almost vomited out all of Ye Zhenzhen's last night's meal.
This man is arrogant and stupid. He really thinks that he is invincible in the world, and he doesn't think about his own character. Why did County Magistrate Li give him this favor?
In the final analysis, it still falls on the "wanted order" issued a few days ago.
No, Li Xundao said right away, "Master Cui, Madam Ye, I have heard about the recent turmoil. It is all due to my lax management of the family. The servants in the family were bribed by the enemy, and they secretly planned to murder Madam Ye."
Property and reputation, I have dismissed the guilty slave, but there are still some oversights, and I ask for your forgiveness."
All the magistrates from the county came to thank him, what else could Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen say?
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and betrayal by servants is also unpredictable. Your wife is reckless and bent on tracking down the real culprit, which has put you in a difficult position."
Li Xundao said it was okay and gave Ye Zhenzhen a meaningful look, "If I am not wrong, Man Tingfang's recently popular makeup powder was developed by Mrs. Ye, right? My wife likes your makeup powder very much.
Very well, Madam Ye is truly a genius."
The eyes of Ye Boshan and Ye Shiming changed. They had just entered the county and were unaware of Mantingfang's reputation, but the meaning of the county magistrate's words was enough for them to think deeply.
So, Da Ya is now prosperous and rich!
After this combination of punches, Ye Zhenzhen finally saw clearly Li Xuandao's purpose - just like she disgusted him with her gossip, he also came to disgust him today.
Li Xuandao made a mistake in front of Wang Xuezheng that day. He must have carefully investigated Cui Weizhen's background afterwards. His wife's family is even less likely to be left behind. He may not know the news about the separation of the Ye family, but the news about the discord between the eldest and the second wife must be
clearly.
He deliberately let Ye Boshan enter the county school purely to disgust them.
After all, on the surface, this quota was his apology, and he couldn't fault him in terms of affection. He also provoked the Ye family and his son to attract blood-sucking insects to Ye Zhenzhen, retaliating with teeth. It was really a good plan.
Ye Zhenzhen responded with a smile on her face, "Thank you for the honor, the county magistrate. There is a golden house in the book. I just accidentally learned a few recipes from the book. I don't deserve praise."
"Ms. Ye is too modest. There is a house of gold in the book, but you are the only one who has the talent to recognize gold. You are not just lucky."
Since it is in the book, why didn’t others see it, but you were the only one who saw it?
Ye Zhenzhen didn't seem to hear Li Xuandao's temptation, and said happily, "Maybe I am really lucky, but I met the only one."
Li Xuandao's face turned gloomy for a moment, probably because he realized that he, a dignified county magistrate, had lost his status by discussing the cosmetics business with a woman, or in other words, in order to cover up that he was not coveting other people's business opportunities, he soon regained his composure and returned to his usual gentle and dignified appearance.
appearance.
As an elder, he earnestly warned, "Weizhen, I have already asked the professors at the county school. They unanimously praised you for doing well in your homework. You are expected to pass the exam next year. In the future, I hope you will study hard and don't let me down."
Wang Xuezheng’s expectations.”
Cui Weizhen replied politely, "Thank you so much to the county for your teachings. The students dare not slack off at all."
Li Xuandao nodded with satisfaction and completed the purpose of today's visit. He claimed that the government office still had official business to be busy with, put down the tea and left.
After sending Li Xundao away, the Ye family and his son still refused to leave and went straight to inquire about Man Tingfang with Ye Zhenzhen.
After all, an estate that can be personally consulted by the county magistrate is definitely not small. If it can get one or two benefits, that would be great.
