Chapter 43: Selling out male beauty?
As soon as Chu Li finished speaking, confusion was written on the people's faces.
Chu Li’s eldest master taught her martial arts, her second master taught her medicine, her third master taught her how to use poison, and her fourth master was a master of metaphysics.
Recently, the sky over Xiaomei Village has been covered with dark clouds and coupled with the flash floods that have occurred over the years, she always feels that a major disaster will occur this year.
"Your Highness, will anything disastrous happen?" Mei Maobing asked.
Chu Li looked solemn, "There will be floods this year, and they may be bigger than in previous years."
The people didn't seem to believe what Chu Li said.
Especially some people who were related to Mei Renpin, they all looked unhappy.
Someone murmured quietly: "There have been flash floods in recent years, but they were not serious. Why should we be so anxious?"
Ye Hanting sat in the carriage, tapping his palm lightly with the folding fan in his hand. It seemed that Chu Li was determined to move all the people out of Xiaomei Village.
Chu Li looked at everyone, "Everyone go back and prepare to pack up, I will send people to help you move. Although there is no one in the abandoned manor over there, the houses are still there. With the money from selling the tea, I will help you build a new house as soon as possible!"
The people nodded repeatedly. Since the prince had said so, they could live in any house. After all, the prince had promised that as long as they worked hard, they would get at least 50 taels of silver every year.
After everyone left, Mao Yueru was supported by Mei Maobing and came to Chu Li.
She took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve and said, "Your Highness, please don't despise me. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it."
Ye Hanting could see clearly from the car window that the woman was holding a fine brocade handkerchief. The white handkerchief was embroidered with an exquisite landscape painting.
Chu Li was also quite shocked. The embroidery was so ingenious and lifelike.
"Did you embroider this yourself?"
Mao Yueru nodded, "Before, I was doing embroidery work for a wealthy family, and they gave me some good materials left over, so I embroidered a few handkerchiefs, but farmers don't need such good handkerchiefs. Oh no, maybe Your Highness has seen too many embroidery works, so I am sorry for not showing off my skills."
Chu Li held the handkerchief gently, "Auntie's embroidery is exquisite, I like it very much."
Mao Yueru smiled knowingly. She really wanted to see what the prince looked like, but she might not be able to see it in her lifetime.
Chu Li stared at her eyes and in her opinion, Mao Yueru's eyes could be cured.
Last time she wanted to use acupuncture to treat her, but there were too many things going on that day and the timing was not right.
Today is a good opportunity, but Ye Hanting is here.
He must have been impatient waiting, Chu Li gave him a flattering smile, "Sir, I'll be back soon."
Ye Hanting nodded, Chu Li was surprised, hey, good man Ye Hanting!
Chu Li took Mao Yueru and Mei Maobing aside.
"Auntie, I can heal your eyes, but do you dare to let me give you an injection?"
Mei Maobing was startled, but Mao Yueru remained calm, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness."
Her eyes are already blind, so it is impossible to cure her, but since Your Highness said so, let her try. Her husband will surely be grateful to Your Highness in his netherworld as he was recorded in the county annals.
So, even if His Highness wanted her life, she would give it to him, not to mention that he would heal her eyes!
Mei Maobing felt her mind was a little confused until she saw Chu Li take out the needle bag he carried with him, took out a silver needle from it, and took out a fire starter to warm it.
Could it be that His Highness really knows medical skills?
Chu Li inserted needles into Mao Yueru's temple, brain, and several acupuncture points around her eyes.
Only then did Mao Yueru believe that His Highness really understood medicine.
Chu Li said as he pulled out the needle: "Don't open your eyes to avoid strong light stimulation. When you go back, stay indoors and let your eyes see the light a little bit."
She tore a piece of her clothes lining, covered Mao Yueru's eyes, and tied it behind her head.
Seeing how confident and calm the prince was, Mei Maobing was not sure whether her mother could see anything.
Chu Li warned: "Don't tell anyone that I know medical skills."
This is also one of her trump cards. She doesn't want to expose her life-saving trump card unless it is absolutely necessary.
After she finished speaking, she quickly returned to the carriage and said, "Sir, please wait."
Ye Hanting said calmly, "Tell me, what on earth did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask me to do today?"
Chu Li’s eyebrows were twitching, this guy was too scary!
She pulled Ye Hanting over here just to use his connections to sell tea!
"My disciple is a blank slate, but my master saw through me in an instant!"
She leaned closer and said, "Master, I have great confidence in my tea. I want to cooperate with you in selling tea!"
The corners of Chi Yan's lips twitched. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really good taste.
Whoever his master wants to sell tea to, no one dares not to buy it!
Last time, Chu Li helped his master make money, so this time it should, possibly, or maybe he can succeed too!
Ye Hanting opened his folding fan and fanned elegantly, "How do we cooperate?"
Chu Li smiled slightly, "First, I am very optimistic about the taste and quality of this tea. Second, the so-called famous tea also needs to be hyped. For example, it is the tea that Taifu Ye Hanting likes to drink the most. If you sit in the teahouse with your ethereal temperament, the rich people who like to pretend to be cultured will follow you. I will have people create public opinion to praise this tea, and the effect will come soon."
Chu Li flattered Ye Hanting as he spoke, "If it wasn't something serious, I wouldn't dare to alarm the Grand Tutor, right?"
Chi Yan was completely confused. He had never heard of the prince's idea. Was he asking his master to show up in public and sell his masculinity to help sell tea?
Of course Chu Li would not say the words "image spokesperson". Just relying on Ye Hanting's amazing face, he has many crazy fans who are willing to pay for tea.
She seems to be helping Ye Hanting make money, but in fact, she is the boss behind the scenes and Ye Hanting is the employee!
Ye Hanting looked at Chu Lixing with sparkling eyes. She must not have any good ideas, or this business must be profitable.
Chu Li raised three fingers and said, "If Master Taifu is willing, I will give you 30% of the tea sold through your channel!"
Ye Hanting stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he was looking at a prey, which made Chu Li feel uncomfortable all over.
Suddenly, the two remaining fingers of her outstretched hand were lifted up by Ye Hanting, who was holding a folding fan.
"Fifty-five!"
Chu Li thought to himself: Traitor! You are truly a traitor! Excluding the cost, um, it doesn't seem to be much.
Chu Li took his hand back and said, "Okay, it's a deal. When I'm done with the relocation, we'll work together."
Ye Hanting replied calmly: "Yes."
Chu Li was also someone who was unwilling to suffer a loss, so after thinking about it, she decided to let Ye Hanting put in more effort.
