It was night, the moonlight was bright, the grass and trees in the garden of the Ding family were full of shadows, and the insects and frogs were chirping from time to time by the pond, which made the sleepless people even more upset. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thirteen tossed and turned on the bed like a pancake, and every word on the mother's letter, as if it had come to life, gnawed at his heart.

All kinds of possibilities kept coming to mind, but they were all vetoed by the thirteen tough ones, he insisted that the eldest brother would not have an accident, and his father would definitely not let the eldest brother have an accident!

But what if? No matter how he convinces himself, there is always a small voice in a corner of his heart that speaks against him, Li Dehao, what if your eldest brother is really seriously injured and dies, what if your father is really sick?

No, Thirteen shook his head, trying to get rid of this terrible speculation, even if - he didn't want to imagine the scene of losing his eldest brother - everyone gave up, he wouldn't give up, there must be a way to cure the big brother!

As for those who hurt the eldest brother, Thirteen smiled coldly, even if he chased to the ends of the earth, the master would not let go of any of them!

Thinking of this, Thirteen had to think about those suspicious people in the imperial city, and they didn't follow their "inhuman" virtues, and tried in vain to replace the eldest brother?! Hmph, my father has already made arrangements, and I am not in a hurry for this moment.

But for now, should I go back to Beijing, should I go back to the palace, and what kind of attitude should I take towards the people in the capital?

Thirteen kept thinking about the second half of the night, only to fall asleep in a daze, the dream was chaotic, and for a while, his father begged him for ice cream, thinking that the style of the claws was too ugly, "Even if it is for people to eat, why do you make a brute's paw print?" ”

Thirteen wanted to explain to his father that Qinglan had to insist on being like this, but he couldn't open his mouth, as if someone had choked his neck.

After a while, I dreamed that my mother was standing in front of me, and she scolded loudly in dissatisfaction: You unfilial son, you don't care if your mother is alive or dead; Suddenly, he rode on the horse again, and the eldest brother said goodbye to himself with a smile: After a few days of busy work, the eldest brother will go to Shandong to see you!

When I woke up in the morning, the pillow was covered with sweat, and Thirteen was depressed, and he couldn't recover until school.

Mr. Ji thought it was the hot and scorching heat, and he didn't care too much, he received a letter from Kong Shanchang yesterday, saying that his apprentice Qinglan "is a young age, has good knowledge, it is really rare, and there is a style", and this time the hospital test ranked among the best.

Mr. Ji had expected the level and results of his apprentices, but it was just a college exam, and he hadn't taken it into account yet. Kong Shanchang invited him to teach at Taishan Academy again, and promised his student Qinglan free of charge.

As the best in the province, the strongest faculty and the highest level of learning, Taishan Academy is not something that can be entered if you want to.

The academy only admits the children of officials above the fifth rank or the children of nobles, and if the common people want to study, they are only eligible to enter the school if they are admitted to the examination, and the tuition fee is high. In order for Ji Zhaoya to come to the academy to teach, Kong Shanchang had to vacate the special quota of the academy every year, which could be regarded as opening the back door for Qinglan.

Mr. Ji replied that night, he glanced at Mingyu who was sitting in front of the desk and writing carefully, as for this kid...

"What's wrong?" Emperor Jingtai looked at Concubine Jiang Shu suspiciously, and he couldn't hide his thoughts on his face.

"Your Majesty... Concubine Jiang Shu hesitantly took the ice cream in her hand, but did not speak.

Emperor Jingtai suddenly realized, could it be that you can't eat cold when the small day comes?

Seeing that the emperor misunderstood herself and was about to take away the ice cream in her hand, Concubine Jiang Shu decided to save herself, you know, the letter she wrote the day before yesterday was a taboo in the palace, and it was enough for her to stay in the cold palace as cold as the ice cream in her hand.

What is the most taboo for the emperor?

Talking about the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, can the emperor help the concubine talk to Hao'er, and have time to go home and see..."The more Concubine Jiang Shu spoke, the quieter she became, and the last few words were not clear at all.

Emperor Jingtai bowed his head and said nothing, if he called his youngest son back at this time, the effect would indeed be better, but the danger would also follow, after all, the person behind the scenes had not yet appeared, and it was likely to expose the whereabouts of the thirteenth...

Concubine Jiang Shu's heart was up and down, wouldn't she be discovered by the emperor? "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine..." is guilty, the concubine is wrong, "The concubine just wants Hao'er, there is no other meaning, if it doesn't work, forget it, just say that the concubine misses him a little." “

Emperor Jingtai still decided not to be afraid of his youngest son getting involved, and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll write a letter to Thirteen now." "I've finished eating the sorbet, don't make some dog paws next time, I'm embarrassed to give it to Old Man Wang to taste."

The imperial physician of the Tai Hospital, the imperial doctor, has been very hard recently, accompanying the emperor every day, in addition to maintaining a constipated face at all times, he also has to endure the sultry heat of the Qianyuan Palace. If he knew that it was just because of the appearance of the sorbet that he had lost the weapon to quench his thirst, he would probably faint with sadness.

The father's letter was as brief as ever, and he didn't mention the eldest brother at all, but praised his filial piety for the first time, (the capital is hotter than Shandong) was really dissatisfied with the appearance of the ice cream, and piggybacked at the end, "Your mother misses you very much." ”

Thirteen understood, this is the father and the eldest brother are buckling again, I don't know which unlucky guy annoyed the father, but this time it was too fierce, and the mother concubine was also blinded.

Whew~~~ It's good that the father and eldest brother are fine, Thirteen felt that his heart had finally returned to its original position, and strode towards Xiaobao's room, the carriage was back, and the sorbet should be sold!

******

"It's so cool and sweet, buy popsicles, the same material and one taste. Three pennies, buy one; Five pennies, buy a pair. Eat it until the mouth is cold, peach watermelon grape flavor ~~~"

Recently, there has been a rare scene in Weixian County, a tall carriage, selling sorbets through the streets and alleys.

What, you don't know what sorbet is?

Hey, from out of town, right? You are all over the county town to inquire, who doesn't know about sorbet!

On May 21, the first day of the holiday, Qinglan and the others prepared a thousand sorbets and started a business of selling cold drinks.

Before the official start of sales, Qinglan has warmed up the sales of sorbet through various channels.

Xiaobao looked at a box of ice cream that was given out for free to try, and smashed his mouth in distress, why did he give it to those restaurants for nothing!

At this time, there is no refrigerator, only some large restaurants have ice cellars, which can be stored for a few hours, Xiaobao came forward to talk about cooperation with these restaurants, priority delivery, and recycling on the night that cannot be sold, but requires the restaurant to store for free and settle the bill on a daily basis.

Most restaurants don't take a few children's petty fights to heart, but it is for the sake of Master Ding's face, and it is given for free, not taking up any space, and sending an ice cream after each table.

Soon, the owners of these restaurants regretted it, and many people took their children to the restaurant to eat, just for the sorbet, and some even paid a high price to buy it.

On the second day, the shopkeepers of the restaurant begged the Ding family with shy faces, hoping to add some sorbet, and they could buy it with any money.

Xiaobao wanted to agree, but thinking of what Qinglan said, he ruthlessly turned away the money for the first time.

Qinglan said to Xiaobao and others: I don't make sorbet to make money, of course, if we don't make money, we don't have the motivation to make it well. But if it's purely to make money, I can set the price higher, and someone will buy it, who will make us the only one? But this is not my original intention, the sorbet does not only belong to the four of us, but the cold and sweet that everyone in Dashun and even the whole world can enjoy. I hope that more people are looking forward to summer because of sorbet, and I also hope that more sorbets will make summer more "ice".

Well, the three boys don't refute anymore, Qinglan is more comprehensive than they thought in this regard. Mr. Ji later learned about this and felt that he might be able to become a good official as a little apprentice.

A thousand sorbets were sold out without even three quarters of an hour, mainly because everyone didn't expect the sorbets to be sold so cheaply.

The restaurant also booked a lot, and Qinglan had to mobilize all the available resources and rush to do it overnight.

In the middle of the moon, the sisters and brothers were still sitting at the desks, and Shu Lao Er on the side was playing the calculus.

Although it was night, the heat in the house showed no signs of abating, Qinglan went out to sell ice cream every day, like a bath bomb and a hot blow dryer with ten big bulbs all the time, and when she came home at night, she blushed like a boiled crab, even if Pan Erniang was thick and leafy, she found that her daughter was several shades black.

The sorbet business is so good that now all the subordinates of the Ding family have become employees who make sorbets, and even Xiaobao and Ding Liu, who grind juice and frozen sorbet every day when they wake up, stamping their seals.

"Dad, how many are there?" Qinglan finished reporting the last account and glanced at the beads on the abacus.

"Wait a minute," Shu Lao Er silently calculated in his heart, and reported a number, "Seven hundred and sixty-seven twenty-eight dollars." ”

This figure is smooth, "Remove the wages..."Qinglan took the wages of the workers handed over by Mingyu and reported a total to Shu Lao Er.

"Sister, this is the cost of materials." The wooden rod of the sorbet was ordered in the uncle's shop, the sugar was supplied by Uncle Pan, and the fruits came from the Ding family's Zhuangzi. Originally, Xiaobao refused to include this item, but Qinglan disagreed, "There are no rules, there is no circle, what should be calculated." ”

Although the Ding family doesn't care about this little money, they can't bear the increasing shipments of sorbet, and now the production of Zhuangzi alone can no longer meet the demand for making sorbet.

"A total of one hundred and eight twenty-four dollars and six wen." Shu Lao Er calculated a specific number, which is Qinglan's monthly dividend.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow~~~" Brother He jumped off the chair happily, recently Brother He helped his brother and sister sell sorbet, my sister said, I earned the money and my brother and sister shared it equally. Although Brother Hu doesn't know how to spend money now, he knows that money is a good thing, and he can buy guns!

"Daddy, I, how many of mine do I have?" Brother He climbed onto Shu Laoer's lap and urged him to hurry up and calculate.

"Seventy-three taels." Qinglan directly reported an integer to her younger brother.

Brother He lowered his head and counted his small treasury, he had always wanted a red tassel gun in his hand, and now he had the money to buy it!

But... Brother He thought of the conversation between his sister and brother that he overheard that day, and hesitated.

The uncle's horse money has been repaid, and Qinglan and Mingyu discussed that the share of the ice cream this time was to save the silver to return Xiaobao.

Brother He bit his lower lip, paid back the money, and bought a gun? This money... Forget it, let's let my sister use it to pay off the debt, and when he sells sorbet next year, he will buy a gun!

It's a pity that Qinglan doesn't plan to sell sorbet next year, this sorbet has no technical content, I believe that people who have an ice cellar at home next year will not be difficult to copy it at all. And ten days ago, along with the admission letter of Taishan Academy, there was also a red list.

Kitchen staff: Shu Qinglan, the head of the case, six buckets of rice per month, and four taels of silver. ...

Enhancement student: Ding Xicheng... Xiaobao also passed the exam!

Qinglan didn't expect that she was not only admitted to Xiucai, but also the head of the house!

At that time, the family was having breakfast, and it was none other than Shu Lao's good buddy Jiang Xianwei.

"Xiao Nian, your daughter! It's only nine years old, so I'm admitted to Xiucai, or the head of the case!? In the future, I will definitely be better than you! Jiang Xianwei patted Shu Lao Er's shoulder vigorously, such a niece, he also has face when he talks to others.

Shu Lao Er couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but replied modestly: "Don't praise her, it's just that she happened to get the examiner's eyes, how can there be any university questions!" ”

"You kid, wait to enjoy happiness in the future, the daughters are so powerful, can the son be bad? I see you, an old lady won't be able to run away in the future! Jiang Xianwei obviously couldn't get used to Shu Lao Er's mistake of being a scholar again-modesty, and gave his good brother a punch.

"Haha, then borrow my brother's auspicious words," Shu Ersheng received this punch, and he grinned in pain, and handed over a red envelope that was not light, this is Pan Erniang's bag, her daughter gave her a fight, she fought for a woman, she was happy!

As soon as Jiang Xianwei took the red envelope, the smile on his face was even bigger, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and get on the sedan chair!" ”

The head of the case, there is an unwritten rule in Weixian County, you have to sit in a sedan chair around the county to parade the streets, so that the whole city is happy and happy together, after all, the show is only a two-year exam, and the honor of the head of the case, not every time it can be the turn of Weixian students.

Shu Lao Er hurriedly went to the back room to call her daughter out, Pan Erniang pulled her daughter into the house to freshen up and change her clothes since she received the good news, and found out the new dress that was originally planned to be prepared for her birthday in advance, and when Shu Lao Er came in, Pan Erniang was still combing her daughter's hair, and Qinglan was obedient and let her mother pick it up, she really didn't know what to do next.

Shu Lao Er hurriedly urged the two of them to hurry up, on such a hot day, the bars carrying the sedan chair outside were impatient.

Qinglan turned around and got on the bridge step by step, not that she had never seen the world, but that the sedan chair was quite big, and she hoped that her family would sit with her and share the honor at the moment.

Brother He understood what his sister meant, but Shu Lao Er held him firmly in his arms and didn't let him come forward.

Qinglan couldn't, so she had to sit in the sedan chair amid everyone's congratulations and cheers.

In addition to the four sedan chair drivers, there is also a servant in front of him to open the way, shouting while beating the gong, and another person behind him is holding a sign.

Shu Lao Er led Brother Hu with one hand, and led Mingyu with the other hand in the crowd behind the sedan chair, watching his daughter's sedan chair in the crowd of people, walking on the avenue without hurry, and the pedestrians and vehicles avoided or stopped to say goodbye, and his heart could not suppress his excitement, tears swirled in his eyes, he Shu Lao Er's daughter, is really excellent!

Pan Erniang didn't come with her, she waited for her husband and son to leave, cried happily in the house, and then dressed up and went to her mother's house to report the good news.

Qinglan began to be a little nervous, but the sedan chair was very stable, she gradually relaxed, and the curtains of the sedan chair were all removed, in order to let people see clearly that this new head of the case was actually a nine-year-old girl!

Knowing, not knowing, a kind smile slid in front of Qinglan's eyes, she was a little moved, although she had never met, but everyone's words of encouragement made Qinglan feel the sense of belonging to the word hometown for the first time.

Thank you, Qinglan silently recorded this friendship in her heart, in my lifetime, I will definitely do my best to build Weixian County better, so that everyone's life is more happy and happy.

The sedan chair kept walking in the direction of the county office, and there were more and more people watching the excitement.

Damn! Qinglan suddenly hit the top of the sedan chair with her head, and in the next second, she was almost thrown out of the sedan chair!

What's going on, there was an earthquake? Qinglan clutched the window tightly, and when she took off again, she finally understood that she was being -
