Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 359 Yang Gan Niang

This state continued until the next day when she was found by Nanny Zhang and asked to lead Chu Ci around Tingzhou. Only then did she pinch herself hard as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Her face was full of disbelief, and she murmured to herself, "Isn't this a dream? This is all real?"

Seeing this, Nanny Zhang smiled dotingly. "Silly child, now you know it's true, right? Stop standing there in a daze. Can you come with me? The princess is still waiting for us."

After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, Yang Xing finally came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go now."

Just as the two were about to leave, a wary woman walked out of the shabby house where Yang Xing lived.

She looked at Aunt Zhang from top to bottom with sharp eyes and frowned, and asked sternly, "Who are you and where are you taking Yang Xing?"

Yang Xing looked at Nanny Zhang, then at the alert woman in front of him. His heart skipped a beat and he realized that Ganniang Yang on the other side had misunderstood him, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

He hurried forward and grabbed Yang's arm, and explained anxiously: "Godmother, please don't misunderstand, this is my new master."

"Master, she is a female official from the Imperial Palace, and now works for the Princess. This time she came to me because the Princess wanted to visit Tingzhou and asked me to lead the way."

However, Yang Ganniang's expression did not ease, and she was still full of suspicion: "Princess? Are you trying to trick us?"

Nanny Zhang still didn't say anything, but just stood aside with a calm expression. She wanted to see how Yang Xing would handle this difficult situation.

Fortunately, Yang Xing did not disappoint Nanny Zhang.

She waved her hands anxiously and said repeatedly, "No, no. The princess' husband is the newly appointed county magistrate of our Tingzhou. The princess is naturally the county magistrate's wife. Godmother, think about it, how dare I lie to you about such a thing?"

Then Yang Xing took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

She told him everything in detail, how she had taken the initiative to replace the lamb meat with lamb bones, how Chu Ci rewarded her, promoted her to chef, and finally how she took Nanny Zhang as her teacher.

She spoke very quickly, fearing that her godmother would not believe her. When she got excited, she couldn't help but gesture, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

Nanny Zhang saw that Yang Xing neither exaggerated the facts to reassure Ganniang Yang nor took sides to gain her trust, but told the story truthfully.

Nanny Zhang nodded with satisfaction, walked forward and said with a smile: "Madam, now you should believe it. Yang Xing is a very honest child, and what he said is true. Our princess really likes this child's craftsmanship."

At this point, Aunt Zhang paused, turned her gaze to Ganniang Yang, and continued with some curiosity: "Madam, did you teach Yang Xing this child's craft? So your craft should be pretty good, right?"

Yang Ganniang didn't understand what he meant, and a trace of confusion appeared on her face, but she still answered truthfully: "I don't have any skills, I just tinker with it to make a living!"

Aunt Zhang thought she was just being modest and said with a smile, "That's good!"

"If that's the case, the workshop should also be hiring cooks. If you believe me, you can go to the south of the city. Oh, no, go to the county government office! The recruitment documents should be out today."

"You go and ask, maybe you can find a good job."

After hearing this, Yang Ganniang couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This is the case of one person's success, and the whole family will benefit. My goddaughter has found a good master, and I can also find a good job, right?"

However, Yang Ganniang was experienced and had seen a lot of things in the world, so her initial excitement was quickly suppressed. She looked at Aunt Zhang sincerely and asked, "Can I ask about the specific situation?"

Aunt Zhang nodded and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, but we've been delayed for a while. Can we talk while we walk?"

When Yang Gan Niang heard this, she was even more surprised. How could this person be so different from the noble person she had imagined? She asked in disbelief, "I, I can also go there? With my status..."

Aunt Zhang smiled gently and comforted her, "Madam, don't underestimate yourself. There is no such thing as status or no status."

"The princess has always been generous. As long as you have the ability, you will have the opportunity. You just need to go with us and take a look. If you are suitable, then stay. If not, that's fine."

So originally only Yang Xing was looking for them, but in the end, three of them went back.

Along the way, Nanny Zhang was not idle either. She specifically explained to the two of them how Chu Ci had set up a sheep oil soap workshop for the people of Tingzhou.

Nanny Zhang said, "You don't know that the princess is thinking about the livelihood of the people in Tingzhou, so she opened a sheep oil soap workshop. If this workshop is established, it can solve the employment problems of many people."

Yang Xing asked curiously, "Mammy, what is sheep oil soap?"

Aunt Zhang patiently explained: "Sheep fat soap is a rare good thing."

"In those wealthy families, sheep oil soap has always been used by the nobles to cleanse their skin. How can ordinary people easily see it, let alone use it."

"Only our princess is kind-hearted and cares about the people. She is willing to give out this precious recipe, hoping that the people of Tingzhou can also make a living and live a better life with it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ganniang's eyes sparkled, and she asked expectantly, "So the workshop will hire a lot of people?"

"Of course. If you know someone who is diligent and clean, please recommend them to me as soon as possible." Nanny Zhang responded with a smile, "The princess said that this workshop needs to be set up as soon as possible, and it will require a lot of manpower."

After Aunt Zhang said this, Yang Ganniang could no longer remain calm. She looked anxious, and her voice was trembling: "Can I leave for a while?"

Who is Aunt Zhang? As soon as Yang Gan Niang said this, she immediately knew her purpose. "Do you want to inform your relatives and friends?"

Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, Nanny Zhang said slowly: "My advice is not to rush."

"The construction of this workshop is not something that can be done overnight. From site selection, construction to equipment procurement and personnel training, it will take some time to build it! When everything is ready, there will be an official recruitment notice. It won't be too late for you to notify them then."

"Now please come back with us and take care of the matter of leading the princess."

After being reminded by Aunt Zhang, Yang Ganniang finally calmed down as if she had just woken up from a dream. She looked ashamed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry, I was too excited. When I heard the good news, I was so happy that I forgot about the important things."

As she spoke, Yang Ganniang's pace unconsciously quickened.

Nanny Zhang didn't remind anyone when she saw this. She just smiled and seemed not to move, but in fact her pace had quickened.

Her steps were light and steady, and each step was just right. She did not appear hurried, but was able to keep up with Yang Ganniang's unconsciously quickened pace.
