Chapter 187: Dean's Favor

"Dean's favor!"

"I'm telling you, you have to listen to your older brother on this; you don't like making mistakes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

"By then, won't this favor help us?"

Kang Wen blinked his eyes, as if about to praise me—"I'm smart, right?"

Kang Wu looked at his confident demeanor, feeling a bit reluctant to strike him down—same parents, same brothers born from the same womb, why is the gap so huge?

"Did the parents show favoritism back then?"

"Did they give all their brains to him? Thinking that, I also feel the older brother is a bit pitiful!"

'"Brother, think about it—if the Dean wants to deal with us, can a single favor settle it?" Kang Wu said, thinking he was speaking softly.'

"The two brothers muttered in a corner."

'"The Dean promised, the Dean keeps his word!" Kang Wen didn't mind and even raised his voice a bit.'

'"……"'

"Six dots, representing Kang Wu's inner voice."

"After thinking, this won't do; he still has to say it!"

'"Brother, if we make a mistake, I'm asking you—will the Dean punish us?" Kang Wu asked.'

"Kang Wen didn't answer; instead, he wore an expression like looking at an idiot."

"Kang Wu endured, then said, 'Think again—if we use this favor to avoid a punishment, will we remember the lesson in our hearts?'"

"Before, he was dissatisfied and resentful, but later he integrated into it, only then understanding the Dean's painstaking intentions."

"The Dean never punished them just to punish them; rather, they truly were wrong, and he punished them so they would recognize their mistakes."

'"Probably not."'

"Kang Wen furrowed his brows; he didn't know if others would, but he was sure he wouldn't."

'"Then if we offend again, how will the Dean punish?"'

"After asking, he especially added a reminder: 'Think about our Dean's temperament!'"

"Kang Wen immediately raised his head, 'Double punishment!'"

'"That's right!"'

'"Double punishment!"'

'"Yeah, a normal punishment would already teach us a lesson—why go for double punishment?"'

"Kang Wu had exhausted himself; some things he couldn't explain clearly to his brother, but in his heart he understood what was going on."

'"But…"'

'"If we use a favor to avoid punishment, will the Dean really not punish them?"'

'"No, the Dean will definitely punish!"'

"He still understood the Dean's ways."

"Usually no punishment; but when punished, it's a principled mistake, meant to make them remember it for life."

'"Favor……effective?"'

"Jiang Yunchu raised her brows, unable to not say, these few kids still understand themselves."

"Her favor works on others, but not on these few kids."

'"Avoid punishment? That's impossible."'

'"Need help? They don't need this favor either; when they need help and can't resolve it themselves, they naturally step in."'

'"We've settled on fifty taels." Kang Wu gave Ning Hanmo a look; Ning Hanmo, as the representative, walked up to Jiang Yunchu.'

"Jiang Yunchu nodded, 'Very good; wait until today's Lustrous Jade Soap is fully delivered, wait until the payment is all in place, then your fifty taels of silver will also be in place.'"

'"Hehe, Dean, you taught us—written proof as evidence." Zhang Cunwen walked over from the side, took a blank sheet, while Ning Qiancheng silently hid his ink-stained hand.'

"Jiang Yunchu looked at each clever child; her own children have grown up, hard to fool."

"She carefully examined the contract, then pointed out two shortcomings, letting them discuss and revise it; once there were no issues, she directly had Zi Su stamp her personal seal."

'"Satisfied?"'

"She looked at the few children with excited faces, the corners of her mouth also slightly turning up; they are continually growing in a good direction."

'"What? Only one product, Lustrous Jade Soap?"'

"Cao Shuyun heard these people's report, flew into a rage; he had prepared to smash the place, but it turned out to be just this weird thing he'd never even heard of."

'"And…"'

"Moreover, there was the Emperor's Imperial Edict, which directly set the recipe as Jiang Yunchu's, leaving him unable to make a move."

'"Trash!"'

"Cao Shuyun directly threw the teacup in his hand; it smashed to the ground, breaking into pieces."

'"This is the gift the petty person received, Young Master…"'

"Before that person could finish speaking, Cao Shuyun's teeth were already bared; the clueless trash, 'Get lost!'"

"That little lackey's face turned red from holding back, seeing the ferocious Young Master, he hurriedly ran out of the room."

'"Fragrance fills the sleeves."'

"Thus it opened in Jingdu; because of the mysterious opening on the first day and the limited-time, limited-quantity offer, for a moment Lustrous Jade Soap became a precious item that all the major families vied to purchase."

'"I can't afford to pay?" a spoiled girl said, face full of dissatisfaction to the shop assistant.'

"The shop assistant chuckled in reply, 'How could that be? Our shop only has Lustrous Jade Soap; output is limited, we can only take orders for a hundred boxes, and we can sell only ten full sets.'"

'"Miss, today's orders are really all filled."'

"That girl saw the ledger, her face even more full of anger; she saw her rival had actually ordered Lustrous Jade Soap, and she didn't know how she would mock her later!"

'"I'll add silver, I'll order a set."'

The shop assistant shook his head, "Miss, it's not that I won't take the order; you can come earlier tomorrow. Even if I added it, the workshop won't deliver the goods—this is a rule set by our Princess Consort."

Upon hearing Regent's Consort, that girl seemed like a deflated balloon!

Since Full Fragrance Sleeves opened, customers have flowed in nonstop every day; the noble ladies of Jingdu have also started a craze for Lustrous Jade Soap, each flower's form has a special number, and those who can't buy a full set have begun to assemble partial boxes.

Time flies; in just three days, the children will be on vacation.

The vacation is not short—half a month.

"Tomorrow, the exams begin." Jiang Yunchu didn't even bring a book to this class; everything she needed to say and explain had already been said before.

Let's stop cramming at the last minute.

Looking at those bright, eager eyes below, it seems they're pretty well prepared?

"Today's last class, I'll give you free rest time."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave the classroom, but Kang Zhi Xia stood up, "Dean, could you say a bit more to us?"

Jiang Yunchu lifted her foot, then slowly lowered it again, "What should I say?"

"Just say anything, I'm nervous," Kang Zhi Xia said frankly.

Meeting the Princess Consort is like meeting one's mainstay; saying anything can help one relax.

Seeing a few people's expectant gazes, she helplessly sat down in a chair and also gestured for Kang Zhi Xia to sit.

"What should I say?"

"Let me tell you a story."

Her voice rose softly in the classroom, causing the nervous children to unconsciously immerse themselves in the story.
