A few days later, Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming finally went to school, and Ye Zhenzhen resumed her life of picking up and dropping off students. She also reported on the progress of the activities to Princess Wei, which was quite suitable.
With the extensive publicity of Yongshan Hall and word-of-mouth among merchants, more and more merchants learned that Yongshan Hall was hosting a recruitment conference, and some merchants who had not been invited could not sit still.
Over the years, along with Mrs. Ning Guo's reputation for charity, she has also been known as a business wizard. She has brought many changes and opportunities to the shopping mall. The developments of Guose Club and Rouge Square have almost become the industry's vane. Everyone
Gradually, I figured out a truth - following Mrs. Ning Guo is the right thing to do.
Let’s just talk about the last free clinic. The merchants who co-organized it gained a lot of reputation and became a favorite place for people in the capital. I don’t know how many merchants who had no chance to participate were jealous. Now that they have the opportunity, how could they give up so easily?
Besides, the Empress Dowager and Princess Wei are behind the Salesian Academy. It would be so honorable to recruit disciples of these two nobles to work in the shop.
If nothing else, let’s just say that some local ruffians are here to cause trouble. If we just put the people from Salesian Academy to the top, who would dare to make trouble? If we make trouble again, it is a serious crime of contempt for the mother of the country and contempt for the imperial court. This is simply a free token.
!
As for other intangible benefits, there is no need to go into details.
Under such circumstances, the enthusiasm and initiative of the merchants exceeded Ye Zhenzhen's imagination. There was no need for Mo'er and Li'er to bother to contact each other. Merchants of all sizes flocked to Yongshan Hall to sign up.
After Ye Zhenzhen sent her son off, she went to Yongshan Hall and learned about this situation after receiving reports from Xuan Niang and others.
Ye Zhenzhen took the list they submitted and said thoughtfully: "Are these merchants very skilled? You first conduct a preliminary screening based on the merchant's recruitment requirements, and eliminate those who do not meet the employment direction of Salesian College students one by one.
Secondly, look at the qualifications and reputation of the merchant. Those with poor qualifications and poor reputation will not be selected. Finally, we will choose from the benefits and benefits. If the benefits are good, we will give the best recommendations."
Xuan Niang and others nodded repeatedly and kept taking notes. They discussed some details, and it passed in a while.
The application for the recruitment conference organized by Yongshan Hall was quickly approved by the government, and then the Lantern Festival arrived.
After so many years of Lantern Festival in the capital, Ye Zhenzhen had already calmed down, but Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming were in high spirits. They rushed to see the lanterns early and even ate dinner absent-mindedly.
The adults were restrained and had already run outside.
Influenced by them, Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen rarely had some expectations. They gathered their guards and servants before bidding farewell to Aunt Cui and going out.
Thousands of doors are unlocked and thousands of lights are lit, and the capital is moved in the middle of the first lunar month.
Although it was not the busiest time yet, the streets were already brightly lit and people were walking. In the end, they had to give up their carriages and walk.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming got off the carriage, and their eyes could hardly see. They had seen the Dongshi during the day, but this was the first time they had seen the brightly lit Dongshi at night.
The merchants all have their own unique tricks, all kinds of colorful lanterns are hung high, and various stalls sell colorful and fragrant snacks. The sounds of hawking, laughter, and discussions... are heard, noisy and lively,
To name a few.
Cui Zhiduan looked around, almost dazzled. He pointed at the colorful building filled with lanterns and asked, "Mom, does our family have a colorful building?"
There are many colorful colorful buildings on the street. Most of them are built by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries. Firstly, they are for celebration, and secondly, they are for fame. Some colorful buildings are even hung with lantern riddles, which can be used to decorate the lanterns.
Free gifts to those who answer the lantern riddles correctly.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded: "Our family doesn't have one, but my mother's property - Guose Rouge House has built a colorful building. I will take you to see it."
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming were so excited that they almost jumped up. Cui Weizhen looked around and listened in all directions. He also had to watch the two monkeys to prevent them from getting separated. He couldn't help but give a warning: "No fooling around, Shangyuan Festival."
There are many people, don’t get separated.”
Although there are guards guarding the surroundings, it is not impossible for them to be scattered when there are more people.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming immediately responded honestly, holding the adults' hands obediently, and followed the path opened by the guards towards the colorful building of Guose Rouge Square.
The Guose Rouge Fang family has a big business, and the color building is not small in size. It is hung with all kinds of exquisite lanterns and can also be used to guess lantern riddles. At this time, many people have gathered to either enjoy the lanterns or guess lantern riddles.
Among the tourists, most of them were scholars in long robes.
Most of these scholars are those who participated in the examination this year, so their presence is naturally indispensable on such an important day. If they can touch the scene and get one or two excellent works, it will be an opportunity to become famous in the capital.
So the Cailou of Guose Rouge Fang was targeted by them.
It is known to the whole world that Guose Rouge House is the property of Mrs. Ning Guo. Whether it is lanterns or lantern riddles, they are closely related to Jing Ning's Mansion. Naturally, it has received a lot of attention. It is also the place where scholars can easily make a name for themselves, so they all gathered there in unison.
here.
A young man dressed as a wealthy prince asked the man dressed as a steward at the desk: "May I ask your Excellency, are these lantern riddles all drawn up by Uncle Jing Ning?"
The steward nodded and shook his head: "The riddles were drawn up by my wife and my husband together."
The young man suddenly became excited, rubbed his hands and said, "Please pick me a lantern riddle written by Uncle Jing Ning."
Steward: "..."
It’s not just shopping, so why did he pick it up? Besides, as a servant, how could he know which one was from the husband and which one was from the madam?
Others also felt that the young master was a little embarrassed, and asked in confusion: "Why do you insist on asking Uncle Jing Ning for lantern riddles? It is said that Mrs. Ning Guo is also a talented woman, and her lantern riddle skills must be extraordinary."
The young master glanced at them: "What do you know? Who is Uncle Jing Ning? The famous man in front of the emperor is also a great talent among three people in the company. Maybe there will be a chance to give him a test proposition or something. If we
If we can understand his thoughts on the question in advance, wouldn’t we be more confident about his outcome in the future?”
"Brother Hua's words woke up the dreamer."
"Brother Hua is so thoughtful."
"Duiji, Duiji, please pick me one of the lantern riddles written by Uncle Jing Ning."
…
Not only was the manager speechless, Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen who were watching were also dumbfounded. Ye Zhenzhen poked Cui Weizhen's arm and asked, "Are all the scholars these days working so hard?"
It’s simply harder than college entrance examination students!
For the sake of one percent chance, I have to work hard to get the teacher’s real questions. This kind of spirit of never giving up or abandoning the exam is really unmatched.
Cui Weizhen twitched the corner of his mouth and expressed contempt from the god of learning: "It's just opportunistic."
