Chapter 560 Passing the Imperial Examination, Xie Ying Makes Another Big Profit
As the provincial examination drew closer, Luo Ziling became more and more anxious.
After all, she was young and not calm enough, so the little girl was always worried that her brother would fail the provincial examination.
Xie Ying reached out and patted Luo Ziling's shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry, it's useless to worry anyway."
Luo Ziling looked at her gloomily, then suddenly hugged her and said pitifully, "Yingying, your hair seems a little long. Let me help you cut it."
Xie Ying quickly reached out to protect her hair: "No, my hair is useless, just give up!"
Luo Ziling was unconvinced: "Who said it's useless? Last time, Second Young Master Jiang cut your hair, made it into a peace charm and gave it to his sister-in-law. As a result, his sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and both mother and child are safe!"
Xie Ying was speechless: "That's just a coincidence! Just a coincidence!"
"How can it be a coincidence? It's obviously because of you, my lucky star!"
Luo Ziling hugged Xie Ying and begged, "Yingying, please let me cut a little. It's just a little hair anyway, it will grow out soon."
Xie Ying turned her head away, her face full of resistance: "No way!"
Luo Ziling had no choice but to use his trump card: "If my brother passes the imperial examination, I will give you a big red envelope!"
Xie Ying glanced at her: "Really?"
Luo Ziling saw that something was going on and quickly said, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"
Xie Ying touched her hair and said, "Give me the scissors, I'll cut it myself!"
Luo Ziling quickly handed over a pair of delicate scissors: "Okay, okay, Yingying, it will definitely be better if you cut it yourself!"
Xie Ying: “…”
So you were ready a long time ago, just waiting to cut my hair?
She cut off a small bunch of hair in frustration, and saw Luo Ziling quickly take out a lucky bag and carefully stuff her hair into it. She couldn't help but be speechless.
Everyone says it’s just a coincidence, why don’t you believe it?
Feudal superstitions are not acceptable, little sister.
Xie Ying shook her head in disgust.
However, half a month later, Xie Ying was dumbfounded.
Luo Ziling hugged her excitedly, screaming non-stop, "Ah ...
Xie Ying was completely stunned until Luo Ziling kissed her on the cheek. Only then did she snap back to her senses and excitedly emphasized, "Coincidence! It's really just a coincidence! It's your brother's academic brilliance, it has nothing to do with me!"
Luo Ziling refused to listen: "How can it have nothing to do with you? So many people took the provincial examination, and they are much older than my brother. How old is my brother?
If it weren't for your hair, Yingying, how could my brother have gotten the top spot in the exam? So it must be you who contributed the most! My brother is just lucky!"
Xie Ying: “…”
She blinked speechlessly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that about your own brother?"
Luo Ziling said as a matter of course, "No, I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, ask him. He might also think it's your credit! Oh, by the way, my brother said he was always refreshed during the exam. It must be because you were blessing him!"
Xie Ying was even more speechless: "He feels refreshed because of the cooling oil."
Luo Ziling's eyes lit up: "Yes, how could I forget about the cooling oil! This cooling oil is so effective, we can seize the opportunity to promote it!
We can’t let outsiders know about Yingying’s affairs, so I’ll tell them that my brother did so well in the exam because he used the cooling oil! Then, the cooling oil in our store will definitely sell out!"
Xie Ying: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel a little sympathetic to Luo Junqian?
But what Luo Ziling said was right. Luo Junqian's success in the imperial examination was indeed a good opportunity to promote the cooling oil.
Who would have thought that before Luo Ziling could release the news about the cooling oil, someone had questioned Luo Junqian's results, thinking that Luo Junqian was too young to pass the exam and that there must be something fishy going on!
Luo Ziling took the opportunity to spread the news about the cooling oil.
Jiang Erze took the opportunity to organize a competition, allowing those who questioned him to compete with Luo Junqian.
There were no auditions for this competition, but Jiang Er still sold a lot of tickets.
Because the issue of cheating in the provincial examination was so popular, many people and students were very curious about Luo Junqian's true level, so a lot of people bought tickets.
Jiang Er also released the news that tickets could be entered into a lottery, and more people bought tickets.
On the day of the competition, Jiang Er specially invited several local respected gentlemen to give questions. Each of them gave a word on the spot, and finally a complete question was formed.
Luo Junqian and the questioners answered the questions on the spot.
However, if the questioner loses to Luo Junqian, he must apologize to Luo Junqian in public.
The competition lasted for most of the day, and Luo Junqian finally won. All the doubters who participated in the challenge had to be convinced and apologized to Luo Junqian in public.
Xie Ying went to the scene specifically to watch the game and felt that these people were completely stupid.
Luo Junqian is only fifteen years old, and the fact that he dares to participate in this kind of competition shows that he has real talent and knowledge.
At this time, a smart person will definitely retreat and will never participate in the competition and embarrass himself.
Only a fool would jump out and act like a clown.
So it’s no surprise that Luo Junqian was able to win in the end.
After the competition, Jiang Er also gave all participants a participation prize of ten candles. The candles were all made in the shape of bamboo joints, symbolizing perfection and continuous success.
So even though this reward was not expensive, everyone was still quite happy.
There was a lucky draw afterwards, but Xie Ying did not participate and left the venue early.
After this competition, she had someone release the news about the cooling oil.
As soon as the news came out, many people rushed to the store to buy cooling oil.
The cooling oil is stored in a small porcelain bottle the size of a knuckle. In order to make it easy to use, the porcelain bottle is made into the shape of a mini water cup, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, just enough for a finger to fit in.
When not in use, plug the bottle with a wooden cork.
There is no other way. With current technology, it is not easy to produce small iron boxes. It is better to use this small porcelain bottle instead.
Such a small bottle of cooling oil costs five taels of silver.
Even at such a high price, it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for buying, and even caravans from other places came to purchase.
Xie Ying made a fortune again.
