Chapter 145 The county test is completed

New employees enter the factory because they are not familiar with the operation process, the operation process, and even the work and rest of the work...... Big problems don't happen, but small problems keep popping up. Fortunately, the first batch of workers had been able to become proficient in various crafts and operations, so Qiu Chen divided the newcomers to the old ones, and the old led the new, and one master led a few apprentices......

Two of the female workers, who claimed to be good at cooking, were filled into the kitchen, and three were given to the Aoyama family to fry Luobuma and dry the medicine. Two others were given to Liu Zhankui, who were responsible for sifting after crushing. The rest were divided into sub-packaging groups, which were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for sub-packaging medicinal materials such as Luobuma and healing medicines; The other group is responsible for packaging soaps.

Moreover, Qiu Chen also found a full hoard father, looking for workers and craftsmen to renovate the original shed built in the East Cross Courtyard. It is divided into three separate courtyards, which are the living area, the pharmaceutical area and the soap making area from south to north.

The living area includes a rest room and a canteen, as well as a food storehouse. Winter is coming soon, the weather is cold, and the workers can no longer eat in the open air, so Qiu Chen renovated the original rest shed, and entered the house with two large kangs on the north and south plates, next to one in the kitchen, and used the fire used to cook in the kitchen. The remaining rooms are built with kang stoves, which can also boil water for drinking at the same time. Because of the huge disparity in the number of male and female workers, one rest room for female workers and two large kang dishes are enough. The male workers have three rooms, six large kangs, and more than 170 young people in front and back, which are scattered, and they are barely enough to eat and rest.

The three courtyards are independent, and there is a passage connected to each other, so that they can avoid interference with each other, especially those who make soap can not run to the side of the pharmaceutical, otherwise, the taste of spices can easily make the herbs smell and affect the quality and effect of the medicine.

As long as the renovation of the workshop shed is entrusted to the full hoarding father, it is very troublesome to arrange training and straighten out the workers, and there are often a little friction when there are too many people...... It's all sorts of busy.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the day passed.

Daxing came back from the county seat, bought a truckload of dishes and chopsticks for the workers, made fabrics for work clothes, and brought back several messages.

Gao Xiupu, the former governor of Anyang Prefecture, was raided and investigated, and was convicted of several major crimes such as fornicating with the enemy country and embezzlement of the military, and was sentenced to beheading, and all adult men in his three ethnic groups were beheaded, and minor men and female dependents were confiscated into slavery and sold in a unified manner. Because of Gao Xiupu's case, Cheng Hu, the commander of the Sipinwei stationed in Anyang Mansion, was also involved, but Cheng Hu's responsibility was relatively light, and he was only sentenced to dismissal. It is said that the new Tongzhi surnamed Tang has already set off from the capital to take up his post; The general who succeeded Cheng Huwei as commander was transferred from the northern army, and his specific name is not yet known.

Because Gao Xiupu was convicted, the money and wealth accumulated by the original Gao family were confiscated, and the shops and land were sold by officials, and it is said that the prefecture and the county towns have haode shops on the feet of the land for sale, and the Gao family also had seven or eight Zhuangzi on the land that the Gao family had embezzled before, and the number of acres of land was several thousand, and it was also sold at the same time!

Qiu Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and when he heard this, he blinked his eyes, and then sighed: "No wonder, the Liu family must be optimistic about those good fields, so they simply sell the ancestral property here and buy a few shops on the haode shop, maybe they also pay attention to buying a more haode field!" ”

Daxing raised his own question: "...... The Liu family's materials are limited, and they can't sell the real estate in a hurry, but they can't sell it at a high price, not to mention the shops in the city, as far as the shops in the county seat, the Liu family can buy one or two places...... The little one thinks there's something wrong here! ”

Qiu Chen pondered for a while, and nodded: "Yes, in the spring, because we recruited workers, their fields could not be shared, and they were in a hurry, but at this time, they sold their ancestral property and moved to the county seat to buy a shop...... There's something really wrong with that......"

Previously, the third son of the Liu family was said to have had close contacts with Gao Xiupu's third son, Gao Lanfang...... Could there be any connection between these two events?

However, this thought was only fleeting, and Qiu Chen felt that this matter was a little too suspicious when he thought about it himself. Although Gao Lanfang had dealings with Liu Yongye, the third son of the Liu family, there was a huge disparity in status between them and they did not have a deep friendship...... What's more, Gao Xiupu was dismissed and investigated, Gao Lanfang, as an adult man of the Gao family, should be controlled as soon as possible, restricting freedom, how could she make any arrangements for the Liu family.

Putting this thought aside, Qiu Chen continued to listen to the news that Daxing reported and inquired about, these news are more detailed and cumbersome, that is, the location of the shops on sale in the county, the general situation, the seller and the selling price; There are also the locations and conditions of the large acres of land that are being sold around the county, as well as the sellers and the selling prices.

From these detailed information, Qiu Chen learned that the price of shops in the county town is not expensive, the most haode shop is only a few hundred taels of silver, and several connected large shops, the price is slightly higher, but it is spread out to each shop, the highest price is only less than six hundred taels, and the one with five is connected, and the big shop on the corner of the street, plus a large yard of nearly four acres of land, but the asking price is two thousand eight hundred taels!

Qiu Chen raised her eyebrows, with modern people's enthusiasm for real estate, she couldn't help but want to buy such a haode shop when she saw such a cheap house price.

After listening to Daxing's report, Qiu Chen couldn't help but praise Daxing, he went to the county seat that day to make a round trip, and the time he stayed in the county town was only two hours at most, and in just two hours, he was able to find out so much information, and the information that Daxing inquired about was obviously targeted and very organized, which made Qiu Chen satisfied.

"Okay, you're tired after a long day's running, go back and rest." After Qiu Chen finished speaking to Daxing with a smile, he turned back to Yufeng and ordered, "Go, tell your mother, cook two good dishes for your father, and you go to the West House to get a small jar of wine...... Take that black porcelain jar and let your father drink two cups to get rid of fatigue. ”

"Hey," Yufeng happily agreed, turning back to Daxing and saying, "Dad, you are the first to drink the medicinal wine that Madame brewed!" ”

After being rewarded by the master, as a slave, he already needs to be rewarded, but this time Daxing's reward is obviously much more sincere.

Who doesn't know that what their master is best at is not dealing with affairs, but dispensing medicines, and the medicinal wine brewed from the recipe prepared by his own master must be a good thing that money can't buy. What's more, as a slave, being the first to taste the medicinal wine brewed by the master, this appreciation is important, which makes the significance of this jar of wine far beyond the wine itself.

Qiu Chen interrupted Daxing, who was about to kneel down to thank him, with a smile, and said, "Okay, okay, don't listen to that girl...... Let's go back! ”

Daxing responded with a happy face and went back to the hospital. Yufeng took the wine and let Qiu Chen see it, and went to find his mother to cook for his father.

Qiu Chen thought carefully about the news that Daxing inquired about, and didn't find anything new and useful, so after thinking about it, he still took out a pen and paper and recorded the information for future reference...... Alas, now she is alone, and she has to worry about everything in a mess, it is too messy, and she often loses sight of one or the other.

At the moment, these news are just inquired for backup, and there is no clue, after Qiu Chen recorded it, he turned his head to look at the five children reading and writing.

Arrange the new workers in the workshop, inspect the first batch of workers, select the small steward of the process team, and manage the affairs of the family inside and out...... In the midst of such a busy schedule, time flies, and four days pass in the blink of an eye.

Because the number of participants in the county test is small, the level of reference personnel is also the most basic, and it is relatively easy to judge, after the test every day, the next morning will know the test results of the previous day, after the total score, all the people who passed the county test can naturally pass the county test, and there are some individual test results outstanding, there is a result that is not ideal, and you can also pass the county test.

Of course, this is a formal examination process, and as for the inevitable black-box operation everywhere, it is also because of this inclined policy that there is room for operation.

Starting from the second day of the county test, every afternoon, Shopkeeper Chen would send someone to deliver a letter to Qiu Chen. The first trip was the good news that Shopkeeper Chen personally came to deliver, and Lin Xu had successfully passed the first exam. Qiu Chen was overjoyed, and took two jars of self-brewed medicinal wine to strengthen the body and handed them to the shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen just smiled and thanked him, and accepted it calmly.

After that, it was a few young men from the Rejuvenation Hall who took turns to come over to deliver the happy letters, and every time, Qiu Chen would take a tael of coins as a reward, so that the errand of sending the letter to the Lin family became a sought-after job in the Rejuvenation Hall for a while.

The Rejuvenation Hall is a big network, and the Rejuvenation Hall in the county and the town will naturally transport a lot of goods and deliver messages, but it is impossible to know that it is such a daily exchange. Needless to say, I also know that this was arranged by Liao Wenqing, although this person is sometimes not very popular, but it is really good to her and the Lin family. Qiu Chen pondered, when Lin Xu finished the exam, and when Yang Shuyong's Yang Shumeng brothers returned from the Yang family's shop, she would make the steamed wine again, not for anything else, just to provide the Liao family with a tincture solvent, which can be regarded as a return! Although the formulas she gave to the Liao family were enough, she still thought that once the partnership was too calculated, it would come to an end. Everyone is doing good and maintaining it carefully, so that this cooperative relationship can go further and get along better.

By the fifth day, the new workers in the East Cross Courtyard were basically able to get started, and although the efficiency was still poor, there were significantly fewer errors. This made Qiu Chen a lot easier. She and Chengzi and Liu Zhanfeng summed it up, preliminarily determined a few candidates for small stewards, thinking about it for a while, and when the first batch of people completed the three-month probationary period, when the formal deed was signed, it was announced, and the personnel arrangement was not very reasonable, and a comprehensive fine-tuning was made, and then the new employees were reasonably allocated.

Qiu Chen did not go to the county seat this day, but began to arrange things at home, and when he went to Pan Jiaqing in the afternoon to pass the good news that Lin Xu passed the fourth exam, Qiu Chen personally went to the school and told Pan Jiaqing that Lin Xu passed the fourth exam, and asked the four children for two days off to go to the county seat.

Pan Jiaqing couldn't help but show a touch of joy, and said: "I have passed all four games, the ranking is not bad, Lin Xu has basically no problem in this county test!" ”

Qiu Chen was also happy, but he still didn't forget the number of courtesies, and smiled and thanked Pan Jiaqing: "It is Mr. Pan's teaching that the second brother can achieve such results." ”

Pan Jiaqing shook her head with a smile: "Lin Niangzi's words are deserved, when it comes to teaching Lin Xu, Brother Changwen still spent a lot of effort...... Speaking of which, Xiao Ke just picked up a ready-made bargain! ”

"Mr. Xu has spent several years of hard work, our family naturally admires and forgets, and Mr. Pan's hard work is also unforgettable, these are in my heart, my second brother and I are in mind." After Qiu Chen finished speaking, he solemnly bowed and was about to say goodbye and go home.

The curtain of the east room of the school was raised, and Pan's mother walked out of the house with a wry smile: "I heard that Lin Xu County passed the test, it's really gratifying, congratulations to Mrs. Lin!" ”

Whether it was Qiu Chen's visit to Pan's house before Pan Jiaqing went to the museum, or after Pan Jiaqing went to the museum, he saw Pan's mother inside and outside the school, Qiu Chen had never seen this old lady give her a good face, today, the sudden change was like this, Qiu Chen was really a little difficult to adapt, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "Mrs. Pan is too polite, now, the county test zuihou has passed the list has not yet been announced, so it is too early to talk about congratulations." However, Mrs. Pan's kindness, my second brother and I both appreciate it, thank you Mrs. Pan! ”

Although Pan Jiaqing is nominally sitting in Liu Jiaao's village school, everyone understands that it is the Lin family who really pays the money, and there is just a name hanging in the village. In this case, and the previous introduction by Xu Changwen, the Pan family and the Lin family have a closer relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to become a good family. It's just that because of Pan's mother's left-hearted nature before, she listened to and believed partially, and always prevented Qiu Chen from having any bad intentions towards Pan Jiaqing, which made the relationship between the two families very embarrassing, and Pan Jiaqing was extremely difficult to do in the middle.

At this moment, Pan's mother actually took the initiative to come out to greet Lin Niangzi, and she smiled...... This abnormal behavior not only surprised Qiu Chen, but even Pan Jiaqing's face turned pale after a moment of surprise.

Qiu Chen looked at Pan Jiaqing's face, did not embarrass Pan's mother too much, and also accosted him, but the coldness and alienation between his words and expressions can be seen and heard by a person who is not blind in his eyes or deaf.

After speaking, Qiu Chen smiled and bent his knees slightly to Pan Mu, turned to say goodbye to Pan Jiaqing, and then turned around and walked out.

As a mother, she is always concerned about her son not going down the wrong path, Qiu Chen understands, but Pan's mother is self-righteous and self-righteous...... and so on, she really can't look down on her, she won't give her too much ugliness in person, it's already very tolerant, let her talk and laugh like no one, and talk happily...... Sorry, she can't!

Sending Lin Niangzi away, watching her figure disappear into the door of the Lin family, Pan Jiaqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she always felt that such a good woman had died of her husband early, and her fate was really regrettable. I heard that her husband did not die, and he will be back soon, and God will have mercy on him, and he can't bear to be lonely for such a good woman.

Thinking like this, Pan Jiaqing couldn't help but sigh softly, and then put aside these and turned back, but unexpectedly, when he turned around, he almost bumped into a person.

Slightly taken aback, Pan Jiaqing saw clearly that it was his mother who was standing behind him silently, and couldn't help but think of the change in his mother's attitude before and after, and couldn't help frowning: "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Gone?" Pan's mother asked to herself, crossed Pan Jiaqing and craned her neck to look out of the door, turned around and saw that her son's face was not very good, and then explained, "I'm not here to send it off, how can I say it, it's also a guest at the door!" ”

Pan Jiaqing couldn't help but hold his forehead, thanks to what his mother said so righteously and strictly, righteously and justifiably, if 'the door is a guest', then every time Lin Niangzi came back to the school, her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, and which one was the one who shook her face and said cruel words?

Sighing helplessly, Pan Jiaqing stepped forward to support her mother, and while walking into the house, she wanted to persuade her mother while her mother was happy, but after listening to her mother's previous comments that were too much, Pan Jiaqing's persuasion was very tactful: "Mother, have you heard, Lin Xu's brother is said to be not dead, and it is said that he will come back soon......

"Oh, I know this," Pan's mother didn't seem to be very interested in this problem that she had been obsessed with, so she responded casually, and changed her words, "Jia'er, you say, what is the son of the Futai family...... Well, Lin Niangzi is a woman, and she really has some skills, and even the prince of Futai can make friends. ”

The topic of Pan's mother changed too suddenly, so that Pan Jiaqing, who was thinking about how to persuade her mother, couldn't react for a while, was stunned for a moment, and still said a little dazed: "Lin Niangzi and Yun Er Gongzi cooperate in business, and it is Lin Niangzi who makes the prescription, so the relationship between the two sides is naturally closer......

Speaking of this, Pan Jiaqing suddenly realized something, looked at her mother with some caution and said, "Mother, Lin Niangzi's husband is coming back...... Lin Niangzi is really nothing...... Well, you have also seen it for so many days, Lin Niangzi is dignified and generous, not that kind of ...... Well, not the kind of people who don't haode. ”

Talking about Lin Niangzi, Pan Jiaqing subconsciously felt that those hurtful and contemptuous words, even if they were said for justification, were a kind of contempt.

Pan's mother gave her son a roll of her eyes, and said angrily: "Although your mother is a little confused, she has also seen it now, and she still needs to say it...... Hey, you said, the prince of Futai came over before Lin Xu took the county exam, did Lin Niangzi entrust the prince of Futai......" Pan's mother did not finish speaking, but the meaning had already been expressed.

Pan Jiaqing was startled, stopped suddenly, and said to Pan's mother: "Mother, don't talk nonsense!" The second son of Yun came to the Lin family just to talk to Mrs. Lin about business! ”

Pan's mother turned pale and said a little unhappily: "What are you afraid of, I just told you, and I didn't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

"Mother, no, you can't say this to anyone, not me!" Pan Jiaqing was even more worried when she saw her mother like this, and her voice became anxious. Anyang Mansion Tongzhi has just been convicted, it is the time when the rumors are loud, if it is rumored that the prince of Futai interfered in the county examination and interfered with the children's examination, this matter may not affect the Yun family at all, but if the Yun family hears the rumors and finds out the source of this statement...... The anger of the Yun family is not something that their lonely mother and son can bear. A few days ago, the Wang family just wanted to rob the Lin family's medicinal herb business, but they got burned and ended up ruined.

In comparison, the Wang family still has some constant production, and their mother and son now have no tiles on the top and no cones on the bottom, but they are only dependent on the Lin family to sit in the museum to have food and clothing...... In this case, if there are rumors of disregard for the Lin family, even if the Yun family does not suppress it, he can only be regarded as an ungrateful villain, and his reputation is ruined, even if he is talented, his future will be ruined.

"Hey, what are you anxious about, I just said it casually, and I haven't told outsiders!" The son's tone of reproach obviously annoyed Pan's mother, and he retorted unhappily.

Pan Jiaqing knew her mother's character, she couldn't resist hard, she could only be patient, helped her mother into the east wing room, and helped her sit down, slowly kneading her shoulders for her mother, and explained in a soft voice as much as possible.

After talking for a long time, Pan's mother nodded in a daze: "Oh, I know everything you said." After that, I won't talk about it. And no one said anything. ”

Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't want to...... As long as you think about it, you may be able to say it at some point!

Pan Jiaqing sighed secretly, but she also knew that it was not easy for her mother to agree like this, and it was useless to continue, so she had to give up.

Coming out of her mother's room, Pan Jiaqing stood in the small and neat courtyard of the school, feeling extremely depressed for a while......

There is an old saying such as 'the dog does not dislike the family is poor, and the son does not think the mother is ugly', and there is also the sage saying of 'for the venerable, for the relatives', and there is also the human ethics of 'the son does not say the fault of the father (mother)', he cannot dislike his mother, nor will he not respect his mother because of his mother's temperament. But with such a temperament as his mother, he is now just a nameless rural private school teacher, and offending people is just offending a neighbor and an owner, but if he is out of office, his mother will act so willfully, but he may really cause some trouble!

Qiu Chen didn't know what the mother and son of the Pan family said after she left, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. When he got home, Qiu Chen began to pack up his things, preparing to go to the county seat tomorrow, to see Lin Xu's results as soon as possible, and to bring Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu back.

In addition, she still has some interest in her heart, she still wants to see those shops that are about to be sold, not necessarily to buy, to see the ground and the actual situation, but also to have an understanding of the current stage of the property.

As the Lin family develops step by step, they always have to go to the city to buy a house. Of course, it is not necessarily to buy in the county, she wants to go to Fucheng to buy a house, in the future, she will cooperate with the Liao family of the Yun family, and the number of trips to and from Anyang Mansion will definitely be indispensable.

Of course, this also depends on the specific situation.

If Lin Xu can successfully pass the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, with excellent results, and is admitted to the county school as a student, he must buy a house in the county seat to facilitate Lin Xu's schooling.

Anyway, in Qiu Chen's habit of thinking, the house is more intentional to buy than the acres of land. Modern 70 years of real estate is still crazy to buy, the property at this time is freehold, and there is also a title deed, the house is old, pushed to the rebuild, it is still its own, and it is completely free, there is no illegal construction.

Of course, looking at the house is piggybacking, and there is not enough time, so it can be postponed.

That night, Qiu Chen shortened the children's study time and sent them back to the front yard early to settle down.

The next day, early in the morning, Qiu Chen asked Daxing and Qingjiang to set up two cars and took the children into the city together.

Leaving early, Afu Aman was dug up without waking up, got into the car in a daze, and soon fell asleep in Qiu Chen's arms. slept until he was almost in the county seat, and was woken up by Qiu Chen. After cleaning up the two children, the two carriages wanted to follow into Anping County.

At the end of August, the autumn grain of the neighbors was harvested, and for the farmers who completely relied on farming, the grain harvested from farming was not only the family's rations, but also the source of various expenses for the family. Therefore, before and after the carriage entered the city, I saw many farmers pulling it in ox carts or pushing it in rickshaws, and a few strong men carrying them in their pockets, and they rushed into the city one after another to sell grain.

Seeing this, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered his Zhuangzi, so he lifted the curtain of the car and said to Daxing: "Our Zhuangzi, you remember to go back and say it quickly, if there is grain, sell it to our family, and the price will be added to the market price by one penny." ”

When Daxing heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It is really a blessing for those farmers to meet such a gentle and considerate master family as Mrs. ”

Qiu Chen shook his head and said: "There are many people in our workshop, we have to buy grain anyway, and I buy it in the grain store, and the price is not low, so why not give this profit to my own farmers." ”

"Hehe, having said that, it is also a lady who is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the suffering of the villagers."

Qiu Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

Because Lin Xu borrowed the Liao family's courtyard in Anping County, Daxing drove the carriage and came directly to the door of the Liao family's courtyard.

Daxing went out of the Liao family, and was very familiar with the people on the door, and after saying hello, someone unloaded the threshold to let the carriage in, and at the same time, someone ran in to report.

After the carriage drove into the courtyard, it stopped outside the second gate, Junyan Junzhang jumped out of the car first, and Qiu Chen took care of Afu Aman to get out of the car.

A pair of hands stretched out from the side of the car, and Aman immediately shouted happily: "Uncle Liao! ”

While shouting, he pounced towards Liao Wenqing. The quiet Ah Fu also greeted happily: "Hello Uncle Liao!" ”

Hugging Ah Man who threw himself into his arms, Ren Xiaoya hugged her neck, Liao Wenqing stretched out another arm, hugged Ah Fu from the carriage, reached out and touched the top of Ah Fu's head, and said with a smile: "Come to pick up your second uncle?" ”

Ah Fu smiled and nodded: "Well, my mother said that I couldn't accompany the second uncle to take the exam, so I came to pick up the second uncle home." ”

Aman also hugged Liao Wenqing's neck and said, "My mother said, the second uncle is tired from the exam, so I want to buy some delicious food and go back to make up for the second uncle!" ”

"Haha, do you have to go back and make up for the delicious food? Uncle will take you to eat something delicious in a while! Liao Wenqing likes the innocence and cuteness of these two children very much, and every time they see them, they can't help but want to hug and get close.

As soon as Qiu Chen got out of the car, he happened to see Liao Wenqing holding the two children in one hand, although Liao Wenqing quickly put Ah Fu down, but Ah Fu obviously liked him very much, more than usual.

"The young owner is also there!" Before Qiu Chen came here, he didn't expect to see Liao Wenqing, after all, the Liao Mansion in Anping County was just a separate courtyard, just for the Liao family to settle down temporarily at this time. According to her impression, Liao Wenqing will be more in Fucheng. What's more, Yun Jichen said that he would only stay in the county seat for two days...... She thought that Liao Wenqing would also accompany her back to Fucheng!

As soon as Qiu Chen's words came out, Liao Wenqing's face darkened suddenly. Is that why she doesn't want to see him?

However, Qiu Chen didn't notice Liao Wenqing's face, stepped on the bench and got out of the car, Ah Fu obediently stood on tiptoe and stretched out his little hand to help, Qiu Chen very cooperatively put his hand into Ah Fu's small palm, and said with joy: "My son has grown up and knows that he feels sorry for his mother!" ”

"Mother, be careful!" Ah Fu's little face didn't know whether it was shy or excited, and instantly turned into a red apple, but his eyes were shining, full of pride and joy, and he was more and more careful to hold his mother's hand, and after seeing his mother get out of the carriage, the corner of the skirt on one side turned up a little, and he hurriedly bent down to help his mother smooth the corner of the skirt.

His son was so intimate, Qiu Chen was naturally overjoyed, leaned over and kissed Ah Fu's little face, and then naturally took Ah Fu's little hand, which was blushing, and straightened up to talk to Liao Wenqing.

"In the past few days, thanks to the young owner who sent someone to summon back, xiexie!" Qiu Chen sincerely thanked him.

Although the words of thanks were a little raw, they still made Liao Wenqing's mood a little better. Doing things for others and getting a response is naturally more comfortable.

"It's just a piggyback of goods, and it's worth your thanks!" Liao Wenqing's face was better, but he was still a little awkward in his heart. As he spoke, he walked straight to the small flower hall.

The female guest was supposed to be brought into the inner courtyard to entertain, but there was no hostess in the material shelf courtyard, and Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen were familiar with each other, so they naturally took Qiu Chen's mother and son directly into the place where he was used to hospitality.

"What about the second brother and Junwen?" Qiu Chen walked a few steps and asked.

"In the past, Brother Lin wanted to enter the market, and the list was replaced by others, but now he doesn't have to go down, so he will go and see it himself. I guess it's time to come back now. Liao Wenqing said as he walked into the small flower hall, but did not sit in the main hall, but took Qiu Chenniang through a landing photo and entered the side hall.

The main hall is furnished with four-stage official hat chairs and tables, which are more formal and not suitable for children. In the side hall, there was a low and wide Arhat bed and two matching carved three-bent leg Arhat chairs, and Liao Wenqing put Ah Fu directly on the Arhat bed.

Pointing across the low table, he said, "Sit down!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't push back, walked over naturally, first grabbed Aman's little girl and took off her shoes, and then took off Ah Fu's shoes, hugged him to the Luohan bed, put two pairs of small shoes on the side of the Luohan bed, and then sat down.

Frankincense and myrrh quickly brought two plates of snacks and two plates of melons and fruits, and also sent a pot of fragrant tea.

Qiu Chen smiled and said to the two little guys: "I'm bothering the two little brothers to bring some water." ”

Frankincense and myrrh hurriedly restrained their hands and agreed: "Don't dare to be bothered, the little ones will go and fetch water." ”

washed the hands of the two little guys, and Qiu Chen washed it himself, so he took care of Afu Aman to eat.

"I don't know ......how Zuihou did in the exam," Qiu Chen peeled a grape and stuffed it into Aman's small mouth, while feeling a little worried.

"You don't have to worry, Brother Lin Xu has learned very solidly, besides...... Well, there won't be a problem. Liao Wenqing comforted vaguely.

Qiu Chen smiled: "Also, I'm also worrying about it." The second brother was originally going to try it this year, he is still young, he can't pass the test this time, and he will come again next time! ”

The two of them said things that were not salty or light, and Qiu Chen was also distracted to take care of Afu and Aman's two children......

In this situation, Liao Wenqing suddenly lost his previous awkwardness.

For a moment, he even had the illusion that the four of them were a family, and he and the woman opposite him were talking plain words, without politeness, without hypocrisy, and there were children next to him who were happily eating delicious food, and the children's mother was taking care of them tenderly and meticulously, and he was talking while looking at the harmonious mother and son......

"Sister-in-law!" Lin Xu, who stepped in with excitement and joy on his face, and Junwen Junshu, who followed closely behind him, broke the warmth of the room.

Qiu Chen immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the smiles on Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu's faces, a stone fell to the ground in his heart. All three of them were happy, and the results of the exam were known without asking.

However, Qiu Chen still asked, "How?" Seems like good news, right? ”

Although I asked, the tone was affirmative.

Lin Xu smiled, but he was a little embarrassed to say it himself, so he just smiled and nodded.

Qiu Chen turned his gaze to Junwen and Junshu behind him.

Junwen smiled and bowed to Liao Wenqing, and then gave Qiu Chen a salute before he smiled: "Auntie, this time Uncle Xu did very well in the exam, although the county exam list has not yet come out, three of the five Uncle Xu are ranked first!" The other two were also a second place and a third place! ”

"Oh?" Although Qiu Chen said it very freely just now, he was still not calm when he heard such a good result, and stood up in surprise all of a sudden, and said with a smile, "Then the total score will definitely be in the top three, which is really a good result!" Congratulations! ”

As he spoke, he said to Lin Xu again: "Second brother, congratulations!" ”

"Sister-in-law," Lin Xu was blushed by Qiu Chen's solemn greetings, and said, "It's just a county test...... Sister-in-law, don't say that! ”

Liao Wenqing also stood up at this time, took two steps forward and patted Lin Xu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, win but not be arrogant, and be determined to be long-term." Brother, I won't congratulate you for my brother, I just hope that you will make persistent efforts, and after the year and year, you will take the government test and the hospital test in one go! ”

"Thank you brother for your encouragement, my younger brother will do his best!" Although Lin Xu was coquettish to Qiu Chen and some older children, he thanked Liao Wenqing very formally.

Afu Aman watched the excitement of his mother, uncle, and brother on the Luohan bed, ignoring them, and they were all a little unhappy. Aman directly shouted at the second uncle and the eldest brother with his little hands open.

"Second uncle, eldest brother and second brother, you all ignore Man'er......"

A room full of people was provoked by Man'er's voice. Lin Xu walked over, touched Fu'er, and hugged Man'er again, and Junwen Junshu also leaned over to get close to the two little ones. After a fuss, Liao Wenqing smiled and said: "It's also close to noon, it's a big joy today, we don't eat at home anymore, I asked the little guy to go to the cyclamen to order a meal, let's go over there to celebrate." Cyclamen is close to the county school, and it is also close to watching the list in the afternoon! ”

Whether to eat or not, where to eat, Qiu Chen didn't care, but Liao Wenqing's words were still good, so Qiu Chen and the others had no objections. Liao Wenqing stretched out his hand and hugged Fu'er, and the group walked out of the Liao Mansion Courtyard.

Cyclamen is a first-class restaurant in the county, and Liao Wenqingding's private room is on the third floor.

When the group came to the gate of the cyclamen, Liao Wenqing pointed to a courtyard diagonally opposite and said: "That's the county school, and later, the list will be posted there!" ”

Qiu Chen looked over, and saw a courtyard of blue bricks and tiles diagonally opposite, the house was a little old, but neat and regular, the black lacquer door that was not too wide was quietly open at this time, and there were still seven or eight dressed people standing on the side of the door, looking at a notice on the wall. Come to think of it, at this time, the results of the fifth county test are still posted on the wall.

Liao Wenqingding's room is on the third floor, and when he opens the window, he can just see the Zhang Bang across the street.

Qiu Chen knew at a glance that Liao Wenqing had put his heart into it, smiled at him gratefully, and was busy taking care of the two children to wash their hands and eat.

Since it is a celebration, wine is naturally indispensable. Fortunately, at this time, the alcohol content was low, and Liao Wenqing specially asked for chrysanthemum wine in order to take care of Qiu Chen and several semi-adult children who were all minors.

The yellowish liquor has a slightly green bitter taste, and the aftertaste is sweet and soft, and even Aman licked it with his little tongue on Liao Wenqing's cup. Liao Wenqing even poured a small half cup directly for Ah Fu.

"The child is still young," Qiu Chen said to stop .......

Liao Wenqing said with a smile: "This wine is soft and warm, so it's okay to drink a little less!" Besides, how can a man not drink! ”

When he said this, Ah Fu couldn't help but stiffen his small chest, which made Qiu Chen cry and laugh.

With Ah Fu's four-and-a-half-year-old small body, what about a man...... This man is too small!

Aman ate quickly, and after eating, he had to go to the window to look out, Aman was not tall enough, so Qiu Chen moved a chair to her, so that the brother and sister could be separated by the window for a distance, and the chair would not fall back, lying on the back of the chair and watching the people and cars outside the window.

Qiu Chen first listened to Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu talk about some things after they arrived in the county, Lin Xu talked about some of the situation of the entrance exam, and Qiu Chen was very happy to hear it, and it could be heard from the narratives of the three people that these three children were no longer as straightforward as when she first came into contact, and they knew how to think when they encountered things, and they were also more cautious in dealing with people. Of course, some of the treatment methods are still a little immature in the eyes of Qiu Chen and Liao Wenqing, but the growth is obvious, which is very gratifying.

After saying this, Qiu Chen talked to Liao Wenqing about the situation of pharmaceuticals. Liao Wenqing said that Qiu Chen took out a few new recipes to make a very smooth production, has made a batch of small samples, sent to the various stores of Huichun Hall, now the weather is not cold, the medicine sent is just for patients to try, but also to build a reputation, and when the weather changes, a large number of medicines are made, and it also happens to enter the sales season.

It's not the first time I've cooperated with Liao Wenqing, Huichuntang has its own set of perfect sales experience, and it's been doing very well, Qiu Chen just listened with a smile, only on the small details that need to be paid attention to in medicine or pharmaceuticals, remind me a little, and let Liao Wenqing hand over the rest.

After Liao Wenqing finished speaking, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "In the next year, I will make steamed wine again." You ask people to make a budget, how much steamed wine is needed for Huoxiang Zhengqi Water next year, give me the amount in advance, I can make jihua! ”
